PATRIOT TRANSPORTATION HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”). Investment in the 50% owned Brooksville Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Investment in Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC is accounted for under the equity method of accounting (See Note 14). These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (primarily consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.
(2) Stock Split. On December 1, 2010, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-1 stock split of the Company’s common stock in the form of a stock dividend. The record date for the split was January 3, 2011 and the new shares were issued on January 17, 2011. The total authorized shares remained 25 million and par value of common stock remained unchanged at $.10 per share. All share and per share information presented has been adjusted to reflect this stock split.
(3) Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2013, accounting guidance was issued to update the presentation of reclassifications from comprehensive income to net income in consolidated financial statements. Under this new guidance, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income either by the respective line items of net income or by cross-reference to other required disclosures. The new guidance does not change the requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
(4) Business Segments. The Company operates in three reportable business segments. The Company’s operations are substantially in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states. The transportation segment hauls petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities by tank trailers. The Company’s real estate operations consist of two reportable segments. The Mining royalty land segment owns real estate including construction aggregate royalty sites and parcels held for investment. The Developed property rentals segment acquires, constructs, and leases office/warehouse buildings primarily in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington area, and holds real estate for future development or related to its developments.
7 |
The Company’s transportation and real estate groups operate independently and have minimal shared overhead except for corporate expenses. Corporate expenses are allocated in fixed quarterly amounts based upon budgeted and estimated proportionate cost by segment. Unallocated corporate expenses primarily include stock compensation and corporate aircraft expenses.
Operating results and certain other financial data for the Company’s business segments are as follows (in thousands):

On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a modified credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement modifies the Company's prior Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association ("Wachovia"), Bank of America, N.A., SunTrust Bank, and Compass Bank dated as of November 10, 2004. The Credit Agreement is for a 5 year term with a maximum facility amount of $55 million. The Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with a maximum facility amount of $40 million, with a $20 million sublimit for standby letters of credit, and a term loan facility of $15 million. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. is the sole lender under the modified Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement bears interest at a rate of 1.00% over the selected LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Total Debt to Consolidated Total Capital, as defined. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the Revolver portion of the credit agreement. The commitment fee may also change quarterly based upon the ratio described above. The Credit Agreement contains certain conditions, affirmative financial covenants and negative covenants including limitations on paying cash dividends. Letters of credit in the amount of $5,600,000 were issued under the Revolver. As of June 30, 2013, $7,300,000 was borrowed under the Revolver, $42,100,000 was available for additional borrowing and $62,230,000 of consolidated retained earnings would be available for payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2013.

On June 3, 2013 the Company prepaid the $7,281,000 remaining principal balance on a 6.12% mortgage under an early prepayment provision the note allowed after 7.5 years. The $561,000 cost of the prepayment included a penalty of $386,000 and the remaining deferred loan costs of $175,000.
The fair values of the Company’s mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At June 30, 2013, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $51,255,000 and $54,623,000, respectively.

(8) Contingent liabilities. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s estimate of vehicle and workers’ compensation liability for the transportation segment may be understated or overstated but the possible range can not be estimated. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. In the opinion of management, none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
(9) Concentrations. The transportation segment primarily serves customers in the petroleum industry in the Southeastern U.S. Significant economic disruption or downturn in this geographic region or these industries could have an adverse effect on our financial statements.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the transportation segment’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 54.3% of the transportation segment’s revenue. One of these customers accounted for 20.0% of the transportation segment’s revenue. The loss of any one of these customers would have an adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and income. Accounts receivable from the transportation segment’s ten largest customers was $3,703,000 and $2,988,000 at June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 respectively.
The mining royalty land segment has one lessee that accounted for 73.2% of the segment’s revenues and $134,000 of accounts receivable at June 30, 2013. The loss of this customer would have an adverse effect on the segment.
The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.
(10) Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
As of June 30, 2013 the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The fair value of all other financial instruments with the exception of mortgage notes (see Note 5) approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

(11) Discontinued operations. In August 2009, the Company sold its flatbed trucking company, SunBelt Transport, Inc. ("SunBelt"). SunBelt has been accounted for as discontinued operations in accordance with ASC Topic 205-20 Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations. All periods presented have been restated accordingly.

(12) Real Estate Held for Sale. In September 2012 the Company received a non-binding letter of intent to sell phase 1 of the Windlass Run Residential property. The property was under contract and expected to close during fiscal 2013 for $7.9 million but the contract expired during the due diligence period. The Company executed a similar contract on April 17, 2013 with another buyer with a due diligence period that expired on June 15, 2013. The contract contemplates the sale of phase 1 of the property in the quarter ending September 30, 2013 for $8.0 million. The book value of the property at June 30, 2013 was $2,948,000.
In February 2012 the Company signed an agreement to sell 15.18 acres of land at Patriot Business Park for a purchase price of $4,774,577 subject to an escrow for the Company’s obligations related to future site and offsite development. The book value of the property at June 30, 2013 was $3,602,000. The sale closed in July 2013.
On April 22, 2013 the Company signed an agreement to sell 5.38 acres of land at Hollander 95 Business Park for a purchase price of $1,520,000 subject to the Company’s obligations related to future site and offsite development. The book value of the property at June 30, 2013 was $588,000.
(13) Unusual or Infrequent Items Impacting Quarterly Results. On June 3, 2013 the Company prepaid the $7,281,000 remaining principal balance on a 6.12% mortgage under an early prepayment provision the note allowed after 7.5 years. The prepayment penalty of $386,000 is included in interest expense. The remaining deferred loan costs of $175,000 were also included in interest expense.

Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 included a gain on the sale of the developed property rentals Commonwealth property in Jacksonville, Florida, of $1,116,000 before income taxes. The book value of the property was $723,000.
Income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 included a gain on termination of sale contract in the amount of $1,039,000 before income taxes for the receipt of non-refundable deposits related to the termination of an agreement to sell the Company’s Windlass Run Residential property.
Accrued insurance liabilities decreased $1,659,000 during the nine months ending June 30, 2013 due to payments to our new insurer under a captive agreement along with payment in settlement of three unusually large prior year liability and health claims. Payments under the captive agreement are for the fiscal 2013 year-to-date loss fund as estimated in advance using actuarial methodology. The captive agreement provides that we will share in the underwriting results, good or bad, within a $250,000 per occurrence layer of loss through retrospective premium adjustments.
On June 20, 2013, the Company purchased for approximately $8 million, Transit Business Park in Baltimore, Maryland which consists of 5 buildings on 14.5 acres totaling 232,318 square feet. The Company has accounted for this acquisition in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). The Company has allocated the purchase price of the property, through the use of a third party valuation, based upon the fair value of the assets acquired, consisting of land, buildings and intangible assets, including in-place leases and below market leases. Based on the third party valuation performed, $865,000 and $159,000 of the purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of the in-place leases and below market in-place leases, respectively. These intangible assets are recorded within Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2013. The value of the in-place lease intangibles will be amortized to amortization expense over the remaining lease term. The fair value assigned pertaining to the below-market in-place leases will be amortized to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.
(14) Riverfront I Joint Venture. On March 30, 2012 the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with MRP SE Waterfront Residential, LLC. (“MRP”) to form a joint venture to develop the first phase only of the four phase master development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop, own, lease and ultimately sell an approximately 300,000 square foot residential apartment building (including approximately 18,000 square feet of retail) on a portion of the roughly 5.82 acre site. The joint venture, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Riverfront I) was formed in June 2013 as contemplated. The Company’s cost of the property to be contributed of $5,839,000 was transferred from Property, plant and equipment to Investment in joint ventures and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. MRP will contribute capital of at least $4,000,000 to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture. MRP will raise any additional equity capital and obtain a nonrecourse loan for the balance of the estimated construction and lease up costs. At this point the Company anticipates commencement of construction of Phase I in mid 2014 with lease up scheduled between late 2015 and all of 2016. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture will be determined based on leverage of the entity, additional cash contributions by the Company, and negotiations with potential third partners.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview – Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (the Company) is a holding company engaged in the transportation and real estate businesses.
The Company’s transportation business, Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc. is engaged in hauling primarily petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities in tank trailers.
The Company’s real estate operations consist of two reportable segments. The Mining royalty land segment owns real estate including construction aggregate royalty sites and parcels held for investment. The Developed property rentals segment acquires, constructs, leases, operates and manages office/warehouse buildings primarily in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington area, and holds real estate for future development or related to its developments. Substantially all of the real estate operations are conducted within the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States.
The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, driver availability and cost, regulations regarding driver qualifications and hours of service, petroleum product usage in the Southeast which is driven in part by tourism and commercial aviation, fuel costs, construction activity, aggregates sales by lessees from the Company’s mining properties, interest rates, market conditions and attendant prices for casualty insurance, demand for commercial warehouse space in the Baltimore-Washington-Northern Virginia area, and ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property development. Internal factors include revenue mix, capacity utilization, auto and workers’ compensation accident frequencies and severity, other operating factors, administrative costs, group health claims experience, and construction costs of new projects. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s estimate of vehicle and workers’ compensation liability for the transportation group may be understated or overstated but the possible range can not be estimated. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. Financial results of the Company for any individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Comparative Results of Operations for the Three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Consolidated Results – Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $3,002,000 compared to $2,684,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of fiscal 2013 were $.31 compared to $.28 for the same quarter last
15 |
year. Transportation segment results were higher due to the increase in miles driven, lower health insurance claims and higher gains on equipment sales. The mining royalty land segment’s results were higher due to new property royalties along with a shift in production at two locations increasing the share of mining on property owned by the Company. The Developed property rentals segment’s results were higher due to higher occupancy and lower maintenance expenses partially offset by higher property taxes and professional fees. Interest expense included $342,000 after income taxes related to mortgage prepayment.

Revenue per mile increased .7% over the same quarter last year due to rate increases partially offset by lower fuel surcharges and a longer average haul length. Fuel surcharge revenue decreased $108,000 due to the lower cost of fuel. The average price paid per gallon of diesel fuel decreased by $.09 over the same quarter in fiscal 2012. There is a time lag between changes in fuel prices and surcharges and often fuel costs change more rapidly than the market indexes used to determine fuel surcharges. Excluding fuel surcharges, revenue per mile increased 2.4% over the same quarter last year.
The Transportation segment’s cost of operations was $25,687,000 in the third quarter of 2013, an increase of $1,066,000 over the same quarter last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. For the first nine months of fiscal 2013, the Company used cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of $20,340,000, borrowings of $7,300,000 under its Revolver, proceeds from the sale of plant, property and equipment of $3,068,000, proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $1,070,000, excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options of $585,000, and cash balances to purchase $10,672,000 in transportation equipment, to expend $16,276,000 in real estate development, to invest $38,000 in the Brooksville Joint Venture, to make $11,115,000 in payments on long-term debt and to repurchase Company stock for $233,000. Cash decreased $5,971,000.
Cash flows from operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 were $3,079,000 higher than the same period last year primarily due to higher operating profits partially offset by a decrease in accrued insurance liabilities. Accrued insurance liabilities decreased due to payments to our new insurer under a captive agreement along with payment in settlement of three unusually large prior year liability and health claims. Payments under the captive agreement are for the fiscal 2013 year-to-date loss fund as estimated in advance using actuarial methodology. The captive agreement provides that we will share in the underwriting results, good or bad, within a $250,000 per occurrence layer of loss through retrospective premium adjustments.
Cash flows used in investing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 were $144,000 higher reflecting the increased purchase of transportation equipment for growth and replacement offset by the decreased investment in real estate development, higher proceeds from the sale of transportation equipment and real estate property.
Cash flows used in financing activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 were $282,000 lower than the same period last year due to borrowing on the Revolver and higher stock option exercises offset by accelerated repayment on long-term debt.

25 |
In May 2013, The Company entered into a second build to suit lease, with the same tenant as the first, for a 125,500 square foot building which is currently under construction.
On June 20, 2013 the Company purchased, through a qualified intermediary, Transit Business Park in Baltimore, Maryland which consists of 5 buildings on 14.5 acres totaling 232,318 square feet which were 87.9% occupied (including 6.4% for temporary leases and 7.1% for holdover tenant). This purchase is planned as a forward 1031 exchange upon the closing of phase 1 of Windlass Run Residential scheduled to close during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
Windlass Run Residential (previously Bird River), located in southeastern Baltimore County, Maryland, is a 121 acre tract of land adjacent to our Windlass Run Business Park. In September 2012, the Company received a non-binding letter of intent to sell the property for $18.8 million in two phases. The letter of intent to sell the property was converted into 2 executed contracts that expired during the due diligence period. The Company executed two contracts on April 17, 2013 with another buyer with a due diligence period expiring on June 15, 2013. The contracts contemplate the sale of phase 1 of the property in the quarter ending September 30, 2013 for $8.0 million and the balance for $11.0 million approximately 18 months later.
On April 22, 2013 the Company signed an agreement to sell 5.38 acres of land at Hollander 95 Business Park for a purchase price of $1,520,000 subject to the Company’s obligations related to future site and offsite development.
On March 30, 2012 the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with MRP SE Waterfront Residential, LLC.

The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop, own, lease and ultimately sell an approximately 300,000 square foot residential apartment building (including approximately 18,000 square feet of retail) on a portion of the roughly 5.82 acre site. The joint venture, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Riverfront I) was formed in June 2013 as contemplated. The Company’s cost of the property to be contributed of $5,839,000 was transferred from Property, Plant and Equipment to Investment in joint ventures and is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. MRP will contribute capital of at least $4,000,000 to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture. MRP will raise any additional equity capital and obtain a nonrecourse loan for the balance of the estimated construction and lease up costs. At this point the Company anticipates commencement of construction of Phase I in mid 2014 with lease up scheduled between late 2015 and all of 2016. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture will be determined based on leverage of the entity, additional cash contributions by the Company, and negotiations with potential third partners.

On June 26, 2013 the Company announced that it has retained the investment banking services of Raymond James & Associates, Inc. to assist the Company's Board of Directors with its evaluation of a possible separation of the Company's real estate and transportation businesses into two separate public companies in a tax free spinoff transaction to existing shareholders.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. For its cash and cash equivalents, a change in interest rates affects the amount of interest income that can be earned. For its debt instruments with variable interest rates, changes in interest rates affect the amount of interest expense incurred. The Company prepared a sensitivity analysis of its cash and cash equivalents to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company's results of operations and cash flows. The interest-rate analysis assumed a 50 basis point adverse change in interest rates on all cash and cash equivalents. However, the interest-rate analysis did not consider the effects of the reduced level of economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Based on this analysis, management has concluded that a 50 basis point adverse move in interest rates on the Company's cash and cash equivalents would have an immaterial impact on the Company's results of operations and cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), and Chief Accounting Officer (“CAO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
27 |
All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
28 |
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
