PATRIOT TRANSPORTATION HOLDING, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES 	NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 31, 2002 	(Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"). 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 ended December 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2003. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis" 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, 2002. Certain reclassifications have been made to the Fiscal 2002 financial statements to conform to the presentation adopted in Fiscal 2003. (2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142). This statement addresses the accounting for intangible assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on October 1, 2002 and has determined no impairment of goodwill exists and has ceased amortization. Goodwill amortization in the first quarter of 2002 was $10,000. Included in other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is goodwill of $1,087,000 in both periods presented. In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 143), which addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations regarding the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The standard applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development and/or normal use of the asset. The Company has adopted the provision of SFAS 143 in the quarter ended December 31, 2002. Although the Company has significant mining assets, all properties are mined by third parties who are contractually responsible for the legal obligations associated with the retirement of the mining properties. As property owner, the Company is ultimately responsible for any obligations arising from the retirement of the mining properties. However, management has concluded that it is not probable that the Company will incur liabilities associated with retirement of the mines. (3) Business Segments. The Company has identified two business segments, each of which is managed separately along product lines. The Company's operations are substantially in the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic states. The transportation segment hauls liquid and dry commodities by motor carrier. The real estate segment owns real estate of which a substantial portion is under mining royalty agreements or leased. The real estate segment also holds certain other real estate for investment and is developing commercial and industrial properties. Operating results and certain other financial data for the Company's business segments are as follows (in thousands): Three Months ended December 31, 2002 2001 Revenues: Transportation $ 20,666 19,778 Real estate (a) 3,376 3,714 $ 24,042 23,492 Operating profit Transportation $ 745 1,282 Real estate (a) 1,998 2,094 Corporate expenses (366) (353) $ 2,377 3,023 Identifiable assets	 December 31, September 30, 2002 2002 Transportation $ 50,341	 47,519 Real estate 113,301	105,850 Cash items 203	 529 Unallocated corporate assets 3,767	 1,565 $167,602	155,463 (a)	The three months ended December 31, 2001 includes revenues of $20,000 and an operating loss of $33,000 from the sale of real estate. (4) Long-Term debt. Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in thousands): December 31, September 30, 2002 2002 Revolving Credit, Uncollateralized, payable in 2004 $ 28,300 12,500 6.5% to 9.5% mortgage note payable in installments through 2020 35,800 36,101 64,100 48,601 Less portion due in one year 1,335 1,311 $62,765 47,290 (5) Agreement to Sell Real Estate. In February 2002, a subsidiary of the Company signed an Agreement to sell 108 acres of land located in the northwest quadrant of I-395 and I-495 at Edsall Road in Springfield, Virginia to Florida Rock Industries, Inc. (FRI), a related party, for $15,000,000. Closing is subject to a title search and surveys and may occur within 45 days of the Company giving notice to FRI to close or, subsequent to June 30, 2003 within 45 days of either party giving notice to close. If FRI fails to close by December 31, 2003, at no fault of the Company, the Company may retain the $100,000 binder deposit and be under no further obligation to close. FRI has the right to terminate this Agreement prior to receiving the Company's notice to close if there shall exist or the consummation of the sale would cause a default in the Credit Agreement among FRI and Wachovia Bank, et. al. The Agreement was approved by a committee of independent directors of the Company after review of a development feasibility study and other materials, consultation with management and advice of independent counsel. The Company intends to structure this transaction as a tax deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If the transaction closes, the Company will recognize a gain on the sale of approximately $7,772,000 net of income taxes, or $2.46 per diluted share. The tract has been rented to a subsidiary of FRI and the Company received rental income of approximately $650,000 for the 2002 fiscal year. (6) Repurchase of Company Stock. During the first quarter, the Company repurchased and retired 111,300 shares of its common stock for $2,485,000. (7) 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 opinion of management and advice of legal counsel, none of these matters are expected to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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, petroleum product usage in the Southeast which is driven in part by tourism and commercial aviation, fuel costs, driver availability and cost, construction activity, FRI's sales from the Company's mining properties, interest rates and demand for commercial warehouse space in the Baltimore/Washington area. Internal factors include revenue mix, capacity utilization, safety records, other revenue factors, administrative costs, and construction costs of new projects. Financial results of the Company for any individual quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. First Quarter Operating Results For the first quarter of Fiscal 2003, consolidated revenues were $24,042,000, an increase of $550,000 or 2.3% over the same quarter last year. The transportation segment's revenues for the first quarter increased $888,000 or 4.5% primarily as a result of a 3.9% increase in revenue per mile in the first quarter 2003 over the same quarter last year. Miles hauled were virtually unchanged from last year as new business generated from the May 30, 2002 acquisition of the operating assets of Infinger Transportation, Inc. (Infinger) more than compensated for the loss of a significant customer in the fourth quarter of 2002 and a 5.3% decline in miles hauled in our flatbed division due to lower demand and driver shortages. Real estate revenues decreased $338,000 or 9.1% for the first quarter of 2003. Revenues from developed leased properties in the Baltimore area increased $153,068 or 8.5%, primarily due to a 7.5% increase in average leased square feet due to building completions in Fiscal 2002 and minimal price increases. The real estate group had no property sales during the first quarter of 2003, compared to $20,000 in property sales in the same quarter last year. Royalties from mining leases decreased $464,000 or 31.8% primarily resulting from completion of mining at two locations during the third quarter of 2002. These mines accounted for approximately 33.8% of mined tons in the first quarter of 2002. Consolidated gross profit for the first quarter was $4,329,000, a decrease of $738,000 or 14.6% compared to the same period last year. Gross profit in the transportation segment decreased $642,000 or 21.6% as a result of a 14.1% increase in depreciation expense resulting primarily from the Infinger asset additions as well as sharply higher expenses related to risk and health insurance. Gross profit in the real estate segment decreased $96,000 or 4.6% for the first quarter of 2003 due to decreased royalties from mining operations, partially offset by increased gross profits from newly developed commercial properties. Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $67,000 or 3.3% for the first quarter compared to the same period last year. Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of consolidated revenues excluding property sales was 8.2% as compared to 8.7% last year. Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased $59,000 for the first quarter due to an increase in the average debt outstanding. The provision for income taxes decreased $297,000 for the first quarter as a result of the decrease in income before income taxes. The provision for income taxes was 39% of income before income taxes in the first quarter of 2003 and 40% in the first quarter of 2002. Net income was $938,000 or $.30 per diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2003 compared to $1,346,000 or $.43 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. Summary and Outlook Progress within the Company's real estate development business continues to be encouraging. Demand appears to be continuing for the Company's flexible office warehouse product. However, completion of mining at two locations has reduced royalty revenues and related income. Excluding volume benefits from the Infinger acquisition, quarter-over-quarter revenue miles for the Company's tank truck business remain modestly lower. The loss of a major customer, changes in tourism and air travel activity and associated decreased demand for petroleum products are challenging. Flatbed freight demand was slow in the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and remains tentative. Future national and regional economic behavior will govern growth prospects for both real estate and transportation. Operating margins for U.S. domestic trucking will also continue to be challenged by escalating health and liability insurance expenses. Short-term margin pressures may also continue from escalating diesel fuel costs. Liquidity and Capital Resources For the first three months of Fiscal 2003, additional borrowings under the $37,000,000 revolving credit agreement (Revolver) funded the Company's purchase of additional property, plant and equipment of $13,025,000 and the repurchase of Company stock for $2,485,000. At December 31, 2002, $8,700,000 was available under the Revolver. In January 2003, the Company obtained a $2,280,000 one-year irrevocable Letter of Credit which will be automatically extended for additional one-year periods unless notified not less than thirty days before the expiration date. The Letter of Credit will replace cash collateral with an insurance company in a like amount which will be used to reduce the outstanding balance under the Revolver. As of December 31, 2002, the Company is committed to spend an additional $3,303,000 to complete construction of a bulk warehouse which is preleased to a tenant for 15 years. Construction is expected to be completed by October 2003. These expenditures will be financed in the interim from cash flows from operating activities and funds available under the Revolver. The Company has obtained a commitment for a first mortgage loan of $8,500,000 to be secured by this building. The loan which is subject to building completion and other normal conditions is for a period of 15 years with level monthly payments of principal and interest at 5.69%. 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 quarter of Fiscal 2003, the Company repurchased 111,300 shares for $2,485,000. In January 2003, an additional $2,500,000 was authorized giving the Company approximately $3,600,000 available for the repurchase of the Company's 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. The Company continues to endeavor to maintain its financial condition with sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other operating requirements. Other A subsidiary of the Company signed an agreement to sell land to FRI, a related party, for $15,000,000. If the sale occurs, the Company will recognize a gain on the sale of approximately $7,722,000 net of income taxes or $2.46 per diluted share. Reinvestment of the proceeds from this transaction is expected to facilitate the Company's long-term plan to build and own a portfolio of successful rental properties. For additional information see Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. During Fiscal 2002, the transportation segment's ten largest customers accounted for approximately 45.5% of the transportation segment's revenue. The loss of one or more of any one of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's revenue and income. During the fourth quarter, the Company reported that one of its ten largest customers indicated it is moving a majority of the business it is currently doing with the Company to other carriers. The Company estimates lost revenues from this customer to be approximately 6% of the transportation segment's revenues for Fiscal 2002. The loss of this revenue will have an adverse effect on the Company's operating income, at least in the short term. The Company anticipates this lost revenue will be offset by revenues generated from the acquisition of the operating assets of Infinger Transportation, Inc. which was acquired by the Company on May 30, 2002. The Company owns two parcels of undeveloped real estate in the southeast quadrant of Washington D.C. on the banks of the Anacostia River and has been working with the District of Columbia Zoning Commission to obtain appropriate zoning for development. In January 2003, the Zoning Commission voted to reconsider the Company's request to submit a modified Planned Unit Development proposal for their approval. For more information on this property see Item 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Forward-Looking Statements. Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital resources and competition and may be indicated by words or phrases such as "anticipate", "estimate", "plans", "projects", "continuing", "ongoing", "expects", "management believes", "the Company believes", "the Company intends" and similar words or phrases. The following factors and others discussed in the Company's periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are among the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward- looking statements: driver availability and cost; availability and terms of financing; freight demand for petroleum products including recessionary and terrorist impacts on travel in the Company's markets; freight demand for building and construction materials in the Company's markets; risk insurance markets; competition; general economic conditions; demand for flexible warehouse/office facilities; restructuring charges; interest rates; levels of construction activity in FRI's markets; fuel costs; and inflation. However, this list is not a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on management's current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other risk factors may be found in the Company's other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS There are no material changes to the disclosures made in Form 10- K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 with respect to this item. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13A-15 under the Exchange Act, within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company required to be included in the Company's periodic SEC filings. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rule and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Changes in internal controls. There have been no changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
