Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | (1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Spin-off Transaction Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references in these consolidated and combined financial statements to us, our, we, Transportation or the Company mean Patriot subsequent to the Spin-off. Companys Business Basis of Presentation Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. was incorporated on August 5, 2014. In connection with its organization, Patriot issued 100 shares of common stock to FRP on December 3, 2014 and issued an additional 3,242,424 shares of common stock to FRP on January 28, 2015 in preparation for the Spin-off. Patriot was formed solely in contemplation of the Spin-off and until the separation was completed on January 30, 2015, it had not commenced operations and had no material assets, liabilities, or commitments. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements presented prior to the Spin-off reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows and certain assets, liabilities and operating expenses of the Company and its subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, as if such companies and accounts had been consolidated and combined for the historical periods presented prior to the Spin-off. These financial statements were derived from FRP's consolidated financial statements and accounting records. The consolidated and combined statements of income include expense allocations for certain corporate functions performed by FRP during the periods prior to the Spin-off, including general corporate expenses related to executive oversight, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, procurement and information technology. The amounts allocated to the Company for these items are based primarily on specific identification, headcount or computer utilization. Going forward, these functions will be performed by the Company. Additionally, the Company will provide most of these services to FRP under a Transition Services Agreement (see Note 3) initially on an annual basis. This Agreement provides for reimbursement of the costs of those services by FRP to the Company. As a result, corporate expense in our Companys financial statements will be shown net of the reimbursements we receive from FRP for these services. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts within the consolidated and combined financial statements have been eliminated. We believe the assumptions underlying the consolidated and combined financial statements, including the historical allocated charges for general corporate functions provided by FRP, are reasonable. However, these consolidated and combined financial statements do not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had we actually operated as a stand-alone public company (e.g. NASDAQ listing fees, etc.) during the periods prior to the Spin-off and therefore do not reflect the actual consolidated and combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had we been operated as a stand-alone public company during those periods. 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 three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015. The accompanying consolidated and combined 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 audited financial statements and notes for the year ended September 30, 2014 included in the Companys Information Statement dated January 12, 2015 as filed as an exhibit to the Company's registration statement on Form 10. |
