CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2014

(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 12). 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, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014. 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, 2013.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment - Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." ASU 2014-08 changes the definition of a discontinued operation to include only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The ASU also expands the disclosure requirements for transactions that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale and do not qualify as discontinued operations. This new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. Effective second quarter 2014, the Company adopted ASU 2014-08 and will apply the new guidance, as applicable, to future disposals of components or classifications as held for sale.

(3) 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.

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):

acquisition during the nine month period ended June 30,2014.

(4) Long-Term debt. Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in thousands):

On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a five year credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with a maximum facility amount of $55 million (the "Credit Agreement"). 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. As of June 30, 2014, $10,963,000 was borrowed under the Revolver, $7,423,000 in letters of credit was outstanding, and $36,614,000 was available for additional borrowing. The letters of credit were issued for insurance retentions and to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development. Most of the letters of credit are irrevocable for a period of one year and typically are automatically extended for additional one-year periods. The Revolver bears interest at a rate of 1.0% 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 commitment. 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. As of June 30, 2014,

$71,899,000 of consolidated retained earnings would be available for payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2014.

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, 2014, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $46,698,000 and $50,008,000, respectively.

(5) Earnings per share. The following details the computations of the basic and diluted earnings per common share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2014, 24,290 and 31,790 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2013, 87,550 and 173,240 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

(6) Stock-Based Compensation Plans. As more fully described in Note 7 to the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013, the Company’s stock-based compensation plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and stock awards. The number of common shares

available for future issuance was 486,590 at June 30, 2014.

The Company recorded the following stock compensation expense in its consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

A summary of changes in outstanding options is presented below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options was $3,745,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of all outstanding in-the-money options was $4,340,000 based on the market closing price of $34.97 on June 30, 2014 less exercise prices. Gains of $1,902,000 were realized by option holders during the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The realized tax benefit from options exercised for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 was $736,000. The unrecognized compensation cost of options granted but not yet vested as of June 30, 2014 was $901,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.5 years.

(7) 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 cannot 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.

Preliminary testing on the site of the Company's four phase master development known as Riverfront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. indicated the presence of contaminated material that will have to be specially handled upon excavation in conjunction with construction. The Company has agreed with our joint venture partner to bear the cost of handling the contaminated materials on the first phase of this development up to a cap of $1.871 million. We recorded an expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 of $1,771,000 for this environmental remediation liability which is the lower end of the range of estimates. The Company has no obligation to remediate this contamination on Phases II, III and IV of the development until such time as it makes a commitment to commence construction there. The Company's position is that the prior tenant on the property is responsible for the cost of removal of the contaminated materials. The Company's actual expense to address this issue may be materially higher or lower than the expense previously recorded depending upon the actual costs incurred and any reimbursement that we receive from the prior tenant.

(8) 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 2014, the transportation segment’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 55.1% of the transportation segment’s revenue. One of these customers accounted for 20.7% of the transportation segment’s revenue. The loss of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and income. Accounts receivable from the transportation segment’s ten largest customers was $4,030,000 and $3,565,000 at June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 respectively.

The mining royalty land segment has one lessee that accounted for 67.4% of the segment’s revenues and $152,000 of accounts receivable at June 30, 2014. The termination of certain of this lessee’s underlying leases could have a material 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.

(9) 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, 2014 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 4) approximates the carrying value due to the short-term nature of such instruments.

(10) Real Estate Held for Sale. In July 2013 the Company sold 15.18 acres of land at Patriot Business Park resulting in $835,000 of cash held in escrow related to post sale obligations of the Company. The amount of cash held in escrow for work to be completed was $220,000 as of June 30, 2014.

The sale of phase two of the Windlass Run residential property is scheduled to close in March of 2015 for $11 million. The book cost of that property of $4,340,000 was transferred from real estate held for investment to real estate held for sale during the quarter ending June 30, 2014.

(11) Unusual or Infrequent Items Impacting Quarterly Results. 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.

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.

(12) 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 contributed land with an agreed to value of $13,500,000 (cost basis of

$6,085,000) and will contribute cash of approximately $5,000,000 to the Joint Venture for a 77% stake in the venture. MRP will contribute capital of approximately $5,500,000 to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture. The joint venture expects to finalize financing arrangements providing for a $65 million loan with an initial four year term and approximately $17 million in EB5 secondary financing. Both these financing sources will be non-recourse to Patriot. The Company expects to finalize these financing arrangements and to commence construction by late summer 2014. At this point the Company anticipates lease up scheduled between late 2015 and all of 2016. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the joint venture and oversees and controls the day to day operations of the project.

(13) Transportation Business Acquisition. The Company’s transportation segment acquired certain assets of Pipeline Transportation, Inc. on November 7, 2013 for $10,023,000. Pipeline’s operations have been conducted in the Florida and Alabama markets. For the twelve month period ending June 30, 2013, Pipeline had gross revenues of just over $16,500,000.

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 business, through the use of a third party valuations and management estimates, based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

The goodwill recorded resulting from the acquisition is tax deductible. The intangible assets acquired are reflected in the line Other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. In connection with the Pipeline acquisition, the Company assumed certain vehicle leases. As of June 30, 2014 these non-cancellable operating leases

will require minimum annual rentals approximating $2,548,000 over the next 3.3 fiscal years.

(14) Kelso Property Acquisition. On June 6, 2014, the Company purchased for approximately $4.8 million, the Kelso property in Baltimore, Maryland which consists of 2 buildings on 10.2 acres totaling 69,680 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, $579,000 and $64,000 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, 2014. 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.

(15) Spin-off. On May 7, 2014, the Company announced that it planned to separate its transportation business into an independent publicly traded company through a tax free spin-off of the transportation business to Patriot shareholders. The separation, which is subject to a number of conditions including final Board approval, receipt of an opinion of tax counsel and effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10, is expected to be completed in the next 9 months.

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. Approximately 82% of our business consists of hauling petroleum products to convenience stores, truck stops and fuel depots. The remaining 18% of our business consists of hauling dry bulk commodities such as cement, lime and various industrial powder products and liquid chemicals. As of June 30, 2014, we employed 721 revenue-producing drivers who operate our fleet of 502 tractors and 601 trailers from our 20 terminals and 10 satellite locations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. 

The Company’s transportation segment acquired certain assets of Pipeline Transportation, Inc. on November 7, 2013 for $10,023,000. Pipeline’s operations have been conducted in the Florida and Alabama markets. For the twelve month period ending June 30, 2013, Pipeline had gross revenues of just over $16,500,000. In connection with the Pipeline acquisition, the Company assumed certain vehicle leases. These non-cancellable operating leases will require minimum annual rentals approximating $2,548,000 over the next 3.3 fiscal years.

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.

On June 6, 2014, the Company purchased for approximately $4.8 million, the Kelso property in Baltimore, Maryland which consists of 2 buildings on 10.2 acres totaling 69,680 square feet.

On May 7, 2014, the Company announced that it planned to separate its transportation business into an independent publicly traded company through a tax free spin-off of the transportation business to Patriot shareholders. The separation, which is subject to a number of conditions including final Board approval, receipt of an opinion of tax counsel and effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10, is expected to be completed in the next 9 months. Legal and audit fees included in corporate expenses increased by $358,000 for the nine months ending June 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year and we expect additional significant transaction related expenses.

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 cannot 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, 2014 and 2013

Financial Highlights of the Third Quarter 2014

• Net income improved to $3,485,000, or $.36 per diluted share, a 16.1% improvement over the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

• Revenues increased 15.5% quarter over quarter and increased in each of our operating segments.

• Operating profit in our Transportation segment was adversely impacted by lower revenue per mile, higher health and accident claims, higher fuel expense and costs associated with the use of out of town drivers. We made progress in the third quarter in reducing our out-of-town driver costs.

• Revenues for the Developed Properties rental segment improved partly due to the occupancy of recently acquired or completed buildings.

• The quarter included recognized land sale gains of $450,000.

• Interest expense was down due to prepayment of mortgage debt in the same quarter last year.

Transportation Results

Comparability for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to the three months ended June 30, 2013 is affected by the acquisition of the assets of Pipeline Transportation in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Our revenues increased 16.6% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2013 due to a 19.2% increase in revenue miles. The Pipeline acquisition in November 2013, new business and a longer average haul length drove the increase in revenue miles. Revenue per mile decreased 2.3% over the same period last year due to a longer average haul length and lower rates on the business acquired in the Pipeline acquisition.

Fuel surcharge revenue decreased .3% as a percentage of total revenue due to lower fuel surcharges on the acquired business and an increase in business with customers with higher base rates and lower fuel surcharges. We believe that it is generally not meaningful to compare changes in fuel surcharge revenue as a percentage of total revenue between reporting periods. Management monitors revenue per mile, which includes fuel surcharges, to analyze effective pricing trends.

Our operating ratio in the third quarter of 2014 increased to 92.7% compared to 89.2% in the third quarter of 2013. The higher operating ratio was attributable to the decline in revenue per mile and the following expense increases:

• Compensation and benefits increased .7% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to a $45,000 increase in out-of-town driver pay and a $156,000 increase in driver training pay to service new business and to address unexpected driver attrition in the acquired Pipeline

business.

• Operating and repairs expenses increased .7% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to a $117,000 increase in driver travel and housing costs for out-of-town drivers and $88,000 increase in tolls expense related to the Pipeline acquisition.

• Fuel expense increased .7% as a percentage of revenues due to higher cost per gallon of diesel fuel and lower revenue per mile. The average price paid per gallon of diesel fuel increased by 2.3% over the same period in 2013.

• Insurance and losses increased $571,000, or 1.7% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to higher health and accident claims.

• Rents, tags and utilities increased .8% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to the addition of leased tractors in the Pipeline acquisition.

• Gains on equipment sales decreased .6% as a percentage of revenues during the quarter due to fewer equipment sales and lower proceeds due to selling older equipment.

These expense increases were partially mitigated by lower sales, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue due to lower bonus compensation accruals.

Mining Royalty Land Results

Mining royalty land segment revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $1,395,000, an increase of $96,000 or 7.4% over the same quarter last year due to increased tons mined.

The mining royalty land segment’s cost of operations was $342,000 in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $23,000 over the same quarter last year due primarily to increased depletion and allocated corporate expenses.

Developed Property Rentals Results

Developed property rentals segment revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 were $6,284,000, an increase of $669,000 or 11.9% primarily due to revenue on the 125,550 square foot build to suit building completed and occupied during the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and revenue on the 5 buildings added June 2013 related to the purchase of Transit Business Park. Occupancy at June 30, 2014 was 89.5% as compared to 89.9% at June 30, 2013. As a result of the increased buildings-in-service platform average square feet occupied during the quarter increased 270,386 or 9.7% versus the same quarter last year.

Developed property rentals segment’s cost of operations was $3,893,000 in the third quarter of 2014, an increase of $465,000 or 13.6% over the same quarter last year. Property operating expenses increased $220,000 due to higher property taxes. Depreciation and amortization increased $244,000 primarily due to the newly completed build to suit building and the purchase of Transit Business Park reduced by certain tenant improvements becoming fully depreciated. Management Company indirect expenses (excluding internal allocations for lease related property management and construction fees) decreased $19,000. Allocated corporate expenses increased $20,000.

Consolidated Results

Operating Profit - Consolidated operating profit was $5,730,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $340,000 or 5.6% compared to $6,070,000 in the same period last year. Despite a 16.6% increase in revenues quarter over quarter, operating profit in the transportation segment decreased $662,000 or 21.3% primarily due to lower revenue per mile, higher health and accident claims, higher fuel expense and costs associated with the use of out of town drivers. Operating profit in the mining royalty land segment increased $73,000 or 7.4% primarily due to an increase in tons mined. Operating profit in the Developed property rentals segment increased $204,000 or 9.3% due to the 125,550 square foot build to suit building completed and occupied during the second quarter 2014 and lower professional fees offset by higher property taxes.

Consolidated operating profit

includes corporate expenses not allocated to any segment in the amount of $159,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $45,000 compared to the same period last year.

Gain on investment land sold – Gain on investment land sold for the third quarter of fiscal 2014 included $327,000 for the sale of a parcel in Patriot Business Park and $123,000 of deferred profits on prior year land sales related to post closing development obligations.

Interest expense – Interest expense decreased $699,000 over the same quarter last year due to accelerated prepayment costs in the same quarter last year and a declining mortgage principal balance. 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.

Income taxes – Income tax expense increased $308,000 over the same quarter last year due to higher earnings compared to the same quarter last year.

Net income - Net income improved to $3,485,000, or $.36 per diluted share, a 16% improvement over the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

Comparative Results of Operations for the Nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

Financial Highlights for First 9 Months of Fiscal 2014

• Net income declined 10% in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 to $$7,529,000, or $.78 per diluted share, from $8,396,000, or $.88 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2013.

• Although revenues for the Transportation segment were up 17.5% year over year, operating profit decreased $2,027,000 or 29.7% due to lower revenue per mile, higher accident and health claims, costs incurred to use out-of-town drivers to service new business and reduced equipment sales and other expense increases. We made progress in the third quarter in reducing our out-of-town driver costs.

• Revenues for the Developed Properties rental segment improved due to the occupancy of recently acquired or completed buildings, partly offset by higher property taxes and professional fees.

• Interest expense was down due to prepayment of mortgage debt in the June quarter last year.

Transportation Results

Comparability for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 to the nine months ended June 30, 2013 is affected by the acquisition of the assets of Pipeline Transportation in the first quarter of fiscal 2014.

Our revenues increased 17.5% compared to the first nine months ended June 30, 2013 due to a 20.4% increase in revenue miles. The Pipeline acquisition in November 2013, new business and a longer average haul length drove the increase in revenue miles. Revenue per mile decreased 2.3% over the same period last year due to a longer average haul length and lower rates on the business acquired in the Pipeline acquisition.

Fuel surcharge revenue decreased 1.0% as a percentage of total revenue due to lower fuel surcharges on the acquired business and an increase in business with customers with higher base rates and lower fuel surcharges. We believe that it is generally not meaningful to compare changes in fuel surcharge revenue as a percentage of total revenue between reporting periods. Management monitors revenue per mile, which includes fuel surcharges, to analyze effective pricing trends.

Our operating ratio in the first nine months of 2014 increased to 95.1% compared to 91.7% in the first nine months of 2013. The higher operating ratio was attributable to the decline in revenue per mile and the following expense increases:

• Compensation and benefits increased 1.1% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to the lower revenue per mile along with a $292,000 increase in out-of-town driver pay and $251,000 increase in

driver training pay to service new business and to address unexpected driver attrition in the acquired Pipeline business.

• Operating and repairs expenses increased 1.1% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to a $440,000 increase in driver travel and housing costs for out-of-town drivers, and $284,000 increase in tolls expense, a $183,000 increase in driver hiring costs and $104,000 in rigging and rebranded costs related to the Pipeline acquisition.

• Insurance and losses increased $776,000, or .8% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to higher health and accident claims.

• Rents, tags and utilities increased .7% as a percentage of revenues due primarily to the addition of leased tractors in the Pipeline acquisition.

• Gains on equipment sales decreased .9% as a percentage of revenues because we sold less equipment than we did in the first nine months of 2013 and we incurred a $223,000 loss on wrecked equipment.

These expense increases were partially mitigated by lower sales, general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue due to lower bonus compensation accruals.

Mining Royalty Land Results

Mining royalty land segment revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were $3,889,000, an increase of $15,000 or .4% over the same period last year.

The mining royalty land segment’s cost of operations was $1,018,000 in the first nine months of 2014, an increase of $73,000 over the same period last year due primarily to increased depletion and allocated corporate expenses.

Developed Property Rentals Results

Developed property rentals segment revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were $19,026,000, an increase of $2,876,000 or 17.8% due to higher average occupancy, snow removal reimbursements, revenue on the 117,600 square foot build to suit building completed and occupied during the quarter ended March 2013, revenue on the 5 buildings added June 2013 related to the purchase of Transit Business Park and revenue on the 125,550 square foot build to suit building completed and occupied during the quarter ended March 2014. Occupancy at June 30, 2014 was 89.5% as compared to 89.9% at June 30, 2013. As a result of the increased buildings-in-service platform average square feet occupied during the nine months increased 335,903 or 12.6% versus the same period last year.

Developed property rentals segment’s cost of operations was $12,358,000 in the first nine months of 2014, an increase of $2,376,000 or 23.8% over the same period last year. Property operating expenses increased $1,694,000 due to higher average occupancy, property taxes ($740,000), snow removal costs ($702,000), professional fees ($47,000) and the new buildings placed in service. Depreciation and amortization increased $677,000 primarily due to the recently completed build to suit buildings and the purchase of Transit Business Park reduced by certain tenant improvements becoming fully depreciated. Management Company indirect expenses (excluding internal allocations for lease related property management and construction fees) decreased $53,000 due to lower health insurance costs partially offset by higher professional fees. Allocated corporate expenses increased $58,000.

Consolidated Results

Operating Profit - Consolidated operating profit was $13,000,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, a decrease of $1,786,000 or 12.1% compared to $14,786,000 in the same period last year. Although revenues for the transportation segment were up 17.5% year over year, operating profit decreased $2,027,000 or 29.7% due to lower revenue per mile, higher accident and health claims, costs incurred to use

out-of-town drivers to service new business and reduced equipment sales and other expense increases. Operating profit in the mining royalty land segment decreased $58,000 or 2.0% primarily due to increased depletion and allocated corporate expenses. Operating profit in the Developed property rentals segment increased $500,000 or 8.1% due to higher average occupancy, the 117,600 square foot build to suit building completed and occupied during the second quarter 2013, the addition of the 125,550 square foot build to suit building completed and occupied during the second quarter 2014 offset by higher property taxes and professional fees. Consolidated operating profit includes corporate expenses not allocated to any segment in the amount of $1,337,000 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, an increase of $201,000 compared to the same period last year primarily due to the higher market value associated with the annual director stock grant.

Gain on investment land sold – Gain on investment land sold for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 included $327,000 for the sale of a parcel in Patriot Business Park, $201,000 of deferred profits on prior year land sales related to post closing development obligations. Gain on investment land sold for the first nine months of fiscal 2013 included a gain on the sale of the developed property rentals Commonwealth property of $1,116,000 before income taxes.

Interest income and other income, net – Interest income and other income, net decreased $36,000 over the same period last year due to funds received in consideration for the conveyance of easement property in the prior year.

Interest expense – Interest expense decreased $1,050,000 over the same period last year due to an accelerated payment on long-term debt and a declining mortgage principal balance. 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.

Income taxes – Income tax expense decreased $555,000 over the same period last year due to lower earnings compared to the same period last year.

Net income - Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was $7,529,000 compared to $8,396,000 for the same period last year. Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 were $.78 compared to $.88 for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources. The growth of the Company’s businesses requires significant cash needs. The Company expects to meet short-term liquidity requirements generally through working capital, net cash provided by operations, and, if necessary, borrowings on its unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company intends to meet long-term funding requirements for transportation

equipment and acquisitions, property acquisitions and development, debt service, and share repurchases through net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under its unsecured revolving credit facility, and proceeds from sales of strategically identified assets.

Cash Flows - The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for each of the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):

Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $797,000 to $19,543,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The total of net income plus depreciation, depletion and amortization less gains on sales of property and equipment increased $2,105,000 versus the same period last year. These changes are described above under “Comparative Results of Operations”. The net change in deferred and current income taxes payable reduced cash flows by $2,181,000 compared to the same period last year due to the timing of tax payments and the expiration of bonus tax deprecation as of January 1, 2014.

Investing Activities - For the first nine months ended June 30, 2014, cash required by investing activities increased $4,837,000 to $28,755,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2014. The current year included $2,196,000 lower purchases of transportation equipment exclusive of the Pipeline Transportation acquisition for $10,023,000. Investment in real estate segment was $2,142,000 lower primarily due to the lower cost of the Kelso property as compared with the Transit Business Park purchase last year. Cash required by investing activities was reduced by $1,349,000 released from escrow cash due to fulfillment of obligations related to the prior sale of properties.

Financing Activities - Cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months ended June 30, 2014, was $11,717,000 more than the same period last year. Our Revolver debt increased $3,663,000 compared to the balance at June 30, 2013. There was a $7,281,000 prepayment of a mortgage in June 2013 which reduced the cash provided by financing in the prior year.

Credit Facilities - On December 21, 2012, the Company entered into a five year credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. with a maximum facility amount of $55 million (the "Credit Agreement"). 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. As of June 30, 2014, $10,963,000 was borrowed under the Revolver, $7,423,000 in letters of credit was outstanding, and $36,614,000 was available for additional borrowing. The letters of credit were issued for insurance retentions and to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development. Most of the letters of credit are irrevocable for a period of one year and typically are automatically extended for additional one-year periods. The Revolver bears interest at a rate of 1.0% 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 commitment. 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. As of June 30, 2014, $71,899,000 of consolidated retained earnings would be available for payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2014.

Cash Requirements - The Board of Directors has authorized Management to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as opportunities arise. During the first nine months of fiscal 2014 the Company did not repurchase any shares of stock. As of June 30, 2014, $3,682,000 was authorized for future repurchases of common stock. The Company does not currently pay any cash dividends on common stock.

While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such regulations are not expected to have a major effect on the Company’s capital expenditures or operating results.

Summary and Outlook. Transportation revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2014 increased $14,451,000 or 17.5% over the first nine months of 2013. The bottom line contribution of these additional revenues was not achieved as duplicate expense of temporarily transferred drivers and extra driving and training pay and higher health and accident claims nullified any return on the added revenues. We made progress in the third quarter in reducing our out-of-town driver costs and our operating profit margin improved over the two previous sequential quarters.

Developed property rentals occupancy was 89.5% at June 30, 2014 and 89.9% at June 30, 2013. Occupancy at June 30, 2014 and 2013 included 8,200 square feet or .2% and 77,456 square feet or 2.3% respectively for temporary leases under a less than full market lease rate. On June 6, 2014, the Company purchased for approximately $4.8 million, the Kelso property in Baltimore, Maryland which consists of 2 buildings on 10.2 acres totaling 69,680 square feet. Total completed developed square footage increased 6.0% from June 30, 2013 to 3,472,309 at June 30, 2014. In addition to the completed buildings, we own land in four separate distinct submarkets that we believe ultimately could support up to 17 buildings totaling 1,406,906 square

feet. The net book value of these properties at June 30, 2014 was $25,435,000 (including construction in progress of the third build-to-suit building of 129,850 sf at Patriot Business Park on land with a net book value of $6,810,000). On May 1, 2014, the Company entered into a long term lease with VADATA for its third build-to-suit data warehouse for 129,850 sq. ft.; the first (117,600 sq. ft.) and second (125,550 sq. ft.) build-to-suit data warehouses were completed and occupied in January 2013 and January 2014, respectively.

The Company anticipates commencement of construction of the first phase of the four phase Anacostia development in late summer 2014 with lease up scheduled between late 2015 and all of 2016.

On May 7, 2014, the Company announced that it planned to separate its transportation business into an independent publicly traded company through a tax free spin-off of the transportation business to Patriot shareholders. The separation, which is subject to a number of conditions including final Board approval, receipt of an opinion of tax counsel and effectiveness of a registration statement on Form 10, is expected to be completed in the next 9 months.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at June 30, 2014 was 1.0%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be reduced or increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.

At June 30, 2014 a 1% increase in the current per annum interest rate would result in $109,630 of additional interest expense during the next 12 months. The foregoing calculation assumes an instantaneous 1% increase in the rates under the Credit Agreement and that the principal amount under the Credit Agreement is the amount outstanding as of June 30, 2014. The calculation therefore does not account for the differences in the market rates upon which the interest rates of our indebtedness are based or possible actions, such as prepayment, that we might take in response to any rate increase.

Commodity Price Risk - The price and availability of diesel fuel are subject to fluctuations due to changes in the level of global oil production, seasonality, weather, global politics and other market factors. Historically, we have been able to recover a significant portion of fuel price increases from our customers in the form of fuel surcharges. The price and availability of diesel fuel can be unpredictable as well as the extent to which fuel surcharges can be collected to offset such increases. In fiscal 2014 and 2013, a significant portion of fuel costs was covered through fuel surcharges.

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”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), 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.

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.

Based on our management’s evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were ineffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer reached the conclusion expressed in the preceding paragraph because, as of June 30, 2014, we did not have effective disclosure controls and procedures in place to assure that all related party transactions are reported properly. The specific issue that led to this conclusion arose in July 2014 in connection with management’s review of transactions between the Company and Bluegrass Materials, LLC (“Bluegrass”). In 2013 and 2014, the Company provided information technology services and subleased office space to Bluegrass. Mr. John Baker, the Company’s Executive Chairman, also serves as Chairman of Bluegrass, and his son, Edward L. Baker II, serves as its Chief Executive Officer.  John Baker and Edward L. Baker II also have a beneficial ownership interest in Bluegrass. During fiscal 2013, Bluegrass paid $245,000 to the Company for such information technology services and office space.

This issue had no effect on our financial reporting, but these transactions were not reported as related party transactions in Item 13 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013 or in our proxy statement for the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. We believe that this situation resulted from an inadequacy in our disclosure controls and procedures, which we have remediated and are remediating by improving our disclosure controls and procedures and implementing other remediation measures that include the following:

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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

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, 2013, 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.

The Company has announced that it plans to separate its transportation business into an independent publicly traded company. There are risks associated with the planned separation, which include a failure to complete the separation due to a failure of the conditions to closing, the failure to obtain the anticipated tax treatment, and the risk of not realizing the anticipated benefits from the separation.

Item 2. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER

(1) In December 2003, the Board of Directors authorized management to expend up to $6,000,000 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as opportunities arise. On February 19, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized management to expend up to an additional $5,000,000 to repurchase shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as opportunities arise.
