PATRIOT TRANSPORTATION HOLDING, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 (Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis" should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. for the year ended September 30, 2000. (2) Industry Segments. The Company has identified two business segments, each of which is managed separately along product lines. All the Company's operations are in the United States. The transportation segment hauls liquid and dry bulk commodities in its tank trucks, building and construction materials on its flatbeds, and a variety of cargo through independent agents and owner/operators. The real estate segment owns real estate under mining royalty agreements, commercial properties leased under rental agreements or in the process of being developed for rental and land held for future appreciation or development, some of which is leased. Operating results and certain other financial data for the Company's business segments are as follows (in thousands): Three Months ended Six Months ended March 31, March 31, 2001 2000 2001 2000 Revenues: Transportation $ 27,708 18,407 52,648 35,930 Real estate 3,684 3,159 9,444 5,786 $ 31,392 21,566 62,092 41,716 Operating profit Transportation $ 158 407 1,062 968 Real estate 2,375 1,709 6,330 3,164 Corporate expenses (421) (461) (814) (832) Operating profit $ 2,112 1,655 6,578 3,300 Identifiable assets, at quarter end Transportation 54,362 54,781 Real estate 94,858 89,883 Cash items 375 376 Unallocated corporate assets 902 545 150,497 145,585 (3) Spin-off of Real Estate Business. On August 2, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to delay consummation of the previously approved reorganization of the Company until some date beyond July 1, 2001. The reorganization will require reauthorization by the Board. The reorganization would result in spinning off to its shareholders a new company that would include the real estate business, while retaining the transportation business in Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. The Company has obtained a tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service that confirms that the proposed transaction will be tax-free to the shareholders. Management has recommended delaying the spin-off due to the turbulent conditions in the trucking industry and the need to complete separate internal information systems for its Transportation and Real Estate Groups. The Company also wants to provide additional time for development of its agent/owner- operator subsidiary. For selected information concerning the real estate business, see Note 2. (4) Related Party Transaction. In November 2000, the Company sold two parcels of land to Florida Rock Industries, Inc., an affiliate, for $2,607,000 and recognized a pre-tax gain of $2,034,000. The transactions including the purchase price were reviewed and approved on behalf of the Company by a committee of independent directors after obtaining independent appraisals. (5) Contingent Liabilities. Certain of the Company's subsidiaries are involved in litigation on a number of matters and are subject to certain claims that 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. In the option of management, none of these matters are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. One of the Company's subsidiaries is a potentially responsible party regarding a Superfund Site. It is the policy of the Company to accrue environmental contamination cleanup costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of such liability is reasonably estimable. The Company has made an estimate of its likely costs in connection with this site and a liability has been recorded. Such liability is not material to the financial statements of the Company. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating Results For the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2001, consolidated revenues increased $9,826,000 (45.6%) and $20,376,000 (48.8%), respectively, over the same periods last year. The Transportation segment revenues for the second quarter and first half increased $9,301,000 (50.5%) and $16,718,000 (46.5%), respectively, due primarily to a 40.4% and 36.4%, respectively, increase in miles hauled and a modest increase in pricing over the same periods last year. The Company's third- party agent/owner-operator subsidiary, Patriot Transportation, Inc. accounted for 86.3% and 82.4%, respectively, of the increase in miles hauled. The balance of the growth in miles hauled came mainly from the Company's tank line operations which also benefited from modest price increases. Real estate revenues increased $525,000 (16.6%) and $3,658,000 (63.2)% for the second quarter and first half, respectively, to $3,684,000 and $9,444,000, respectively. During the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2001, the Company had revenues from real estate sales of $120,000 and $2,727,000, respectively, as compared to real estate sales of $315,000 for the second quarter and first half of 2000. The balance of the increase in real estate revenues resulted from additional rental income from newly developed commercial properties, rent increases and higher royalties due to increased mining. Consolidated gross profit increased $1,733,000 or 45.4% for the second quarter and increased $5,134,000 or 69.1% for the first half as compared to the same periods last year. Gross profit in the transportation segment increased $1,070,000 (50.8%) for the second quarter and $1,972,000 (46.4%) for the first half. The increase in gross profit for the transportation segment was primarily attributable to the increase in miles hauled, improved margins due to price increases and improved fuel surcharges in the tank line business along with a modest gross profit generated by the third party business. Gross profit in the real estate segment increased $664,000 (38.7%) for the second quarter and $3,162,000 (99.6%) for the first half. Gross profit from real estate sales decreased $40,000 in the second quarter and increased $1,944,000 in the first half of this year as compared to the same periods last year. The remainder of the increase in real estate gross profit came from increased royalties from mining properties and additional rental income from newly developed and existing properties. Selling, general and administrative expense increased $1,276,000 (59.0%) for the second quarter and $1,856,000 (45.0%) for the first half compared to the same periods last year. A continuing adverse economic climate dictated an additional $600,000 increase in the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and advances in the third-party transportation subsidiary for the second quarter. The balance of the increase was primarily attributable to administrative support costs for the start up of the new transportation subsidiary, settlement of litigation in the transportation segment and costs associated with establishing in-house information technology resources. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of consolidated revenues excluding real estate sales was 11.0% for the second quarter as compared to 10.2% last year and 10.1% for the first half as compared to 10.0% last year. Interest expense increased $19,000 for the second quarter and increased $197,000 for the first half due to an increase in the average debt outstanding and an increase in average interest rate. Income tax expense increased $181,000 for the second quarter and $1,248,000 for the first half of this year as a result of increased income before income taxes. Income tax expense is 40% of income before income tax expense this year as compared to 39% last year. Summary and Outlook The Company's two business segments, transportation and real estate, have continued to experience divergent impacts from a weakened national economy. Real estate revenues, profits and growth momentum have all remained strong and encouraging. Transportation, however, continues to be seriously buffeted by adverse factors ranging from high fuel expenses, increased liability insurance costs and deteriorating demand for dry freight at two of its subsidiaries, SunBelt Transport, Inc. and Patriot Transportation, Inc., which is the Company's third-party transportation business. Operating challenges throughout national dry freight markets are creating an increasingly difficult environment for dry freight trucking companies of all sizes. Predictions for sharply increased fuel costs over the summer do not indicate optimism for near-term easing. Therefore, expectations for improvement in the Company's transportation segment must remain cautious until the operating climate begins to brighten. Financial Condition For the first half of fiscal 2001, issuance of debt under credit agreements and sales of real estate funded the Company's operating activities, purchase of additional property, plant and equipment of $6,036,000 and repurchase of 206,285 shares of common stock for $3,404,000. For the first half of fiscal 2000, net cash flows from operating activities, sales of real estate and issuance of additional long and short-term debt funded the Company's purchase of $12,870,000 of property, plant and equipment and repurchase of common stock for $889,000. The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition with sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other operating requirements. The Company's revolving credit facility will convert to a term loan on November 15, 2001 if not modified before then. The Company will be evaluating and discussing its long-term revolving credit needs with its bank group and anticipates its revolving credit facility will be extended or modified before it converts to a term loan. Other During fiscal 2000, the transportation segment's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 36% of transportation's revenue. The loss of one or more of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's revenue and income. 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. Additional information concerning environmental matters is presented in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders. Such information is incorporated herein by reference. Forward-Looking Statements.
