  Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of
Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc.
Profit Sharing and Deferred Earnings Plan:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net
assets available for benefits of Patriot Transportation Holding,
Inc. Profit Sharing and Deferred
Earnings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the
changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 2005 in conformity with
accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion
on the basic financial statements
taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule of Assets (Held at
End of Year) is presented for
the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of
the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974. This supplemental
schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. The
supplemental schedule has been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc.
Profit Sharing and Deferred Earnings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Description of the Plan

    The following description of Patriot Transportation Holding,
    Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") Profit Sharing and
    Deferred Earnings Plan (the "Plan") provides only general
    information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement
    for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

    General
    The Plan is a defined contribution plan available to all
    employees of the Company.  The Plan is subject to the
    provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
    1974 (ERISA).

    Contributions
    Each year, participants may contribute up to 100% of pretax
    annual compensation, as defined in the Plan.  Participants
    may also contribute amounts representing distributions from
    other qualified defined benefit or defined contribution
    plans, conduit IRA accounts, 403(b) accounts, and 457(b)
    plans.  The Company contributes 50% of the first 6% of the
    participant's deferred earnings contributions.  The Company
    may make a discretionary contribution to the Plan each year
    in an amount determined by the Board of Directors of the
    Company subject to certain limitations relating to the
    aggregate compensation of participants.  No discretionary
    contributions were made by the Company for the 2005 Plan
    year.

    Participant Accounts
    Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
    contributions and the employer's matching contribution and an
    allocation of the employer's discretionary contributions and
    Plan earnings. The benefit to which a participant is entitled
    is the benefit that is available in the participant's vested
    account.

    Participants direct the investment of their contributions
    into various investment options offered by the Plan.  The
    Plan currently offers a money market fund, common/collective
    trust, mutual funds, Company stock and Florida Rock
    Industries, Inc. stock as investment options for
    participants.  Effective June 1, 2005, all participants who
    have not made an election are deemed to have elected to have
    contributions made to their accounts invested in the SunTrust
    Retirement Stable Asset Fund.  Prior to that date, all such
    contributions were invested in the STI Classic Prime Quality
    Money Market Fund.

    Vesting
   Participants are fully vested in their voluntary
   contributions plus actual earnings thereon.  Vesting in the
   Company's matching and discretionary contributions plus
   actual earnings thereon is determined under the following
   schedules based on years of service.  If participants are
   employed on or after their retirement age, the company's
   matching and discretionary contributions are fully vested.
   In the event of termination by retirement, death or
   disability of the participant, 100% of the employer
   contributions will be distributed to the participant or the
   participant's designated beneficiary.




                         Matching Contributions
                                                  Vested

                                                   Vested
               Years of Service                   Percentage
               Less than 3                           0%

                    7                              100%

    Payment of Benefits
    On termination of employment, death or disability of a
    participant, benefits for distribution shall be determined
    based upon the participant's vested account balance on the
    date of distribution, which shall be made as soon as
    administratively feasible or later if so elected by the
    participant in amounts as provided in the Plan.

    Forfeited Accounts
    The nonvested portion of a terminated participant's account
    shall be allocated to the accounts of the remaining
    participants in the same manner as employer contributions.
    Any forfeiture from an employer discretionary account shall
    be allocated in the plan year in which the forfeiture occurs.
    Any forfeiture from an employer matching account shall be
    reallocated in the immediately following plan year.
    Unallocated forfeitures totaled $96,896 and $59,784 at
    December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  In 2005,
    forfeiture in the amount of $59,784 were reallocated to
    remaining participants.

    Participant Loans
    Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of
    $1,000 and a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of
    their vested account balance.  A loan must bear interest at
    the prevailing rate used by commercial lending institutions.
    Participants may have only two loans outstanding at any time.
    Loans must be secured by 50% of the participant's vested
    account balance in the Plan and no other collateral may be
    pledged.  Loans bear interest rates that range from 4.0% to
    10.5%.  Loans are required to be repaid within five years
    except residential loans, which are payable within 15 years.
    Loan repayment will be deducted from the participant's
    payroll over the term of the loan.  Upon termination of
    employment with the Company, the outstanding balance of the
    loan, including accrued interest, is due immediately.



2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    Basis of Accounting
    The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the
    accrual method of accounting in conformity with accounting
    principles generally accepted in the United States of
    America.

    Investments Valuation and Income Recognition
    Investments in the common stock of the Company and Florida
    Rock Industries, Inc. are stated at fair value based upon
    quoted market prices.  Units or shares of mutual funds and
    common/collective trusts are valued at the net asset value of
    shares held by the Plan at year end.  Loans to participants
    are recorded at the unpaid balance of the individual loans as
    of year end.

    The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets
    available for benefits the net appreciation or depreciation
    in fair value of investment which consists of the realized
    gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation or
    depreciation on these investments.

    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-
    date basis.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis
    when it is earned.  Dividends are recorded on the basis of
    the ex-dividend date.

    Use of Estimates
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
    accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
    of America requires management to make significant estimates
    and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
    and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of
    contingent assets and liabilities.  Actual results could
    differ from those estimates.

    Benefit Payments
    Benefits are recorded when paid.

    Risks and Uncertainties
    The Plan provides for various investment options in various
    investment securities.  Investment securities are exposed to
    various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit. Due
    to the level of risk associated with certain investment
    securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in
    the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably
    possible that changes in risks in the near term would
    materially affect participants' account balances and the
    amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for
    benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available
    for benefits.





3. Investments

   Investments which exceeded 5% or more of the Plan's net
   assets at December 31 are summarized as follows:

                                                     2005          2004

    STI Classic Prime Quality Money Market Fund   $ 6,850,270   $ 7,088,466
    STI Classic Capital Appreciation Fund                   -     3,445,131
    Florida Rock Industries Inc. common stock       3,211,967     2,658,469
    T. Rowe Price Growth Stock Fund-R               2,556,906             -
    Vanguard 500 Index Fund                         2,070,631     2,081,013
    Participant loans                               1,194,552     1,114,691

     During 2005, the Plan's investments (including gains and
     losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held
     during the year) appreciated in value as follows:

     Common stock                                      $ 1,076,191
     Mutual funds                                      $    44,313
     Common/collective trust                                10,761
                                                        ----------
       Net appreciation in fair value of investments   $ 1,131,265
                                                        ==========

4.   Related Party Transactions

    Certain Plan investments are managed by SunTrust.  SunTrust
    is the trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these
    transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions.  Fees
    to the custodian are deducted from investment income.
    Certain administrative expenses are paid for by the Company
    without charge to the Plan.  Such expenses amounted to
    $22,978 for the year ended December 31, 2005, and are not
    included in these financial statements.

5.   Plan Termination

    While the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, it
    may terminate the Plan at any time.  In the event of such
    termination, the accounts of all participants would become
    fully vested and the Company, by written notice to the
    Trustee and the Committee, may direct either complete
    distribution of the assets in the Trust Fund to the
    participants or, continue the Trust and the distribution of
    benefits at such time and in such manner as though the Plan
    had not been   terminated.

6.   Income Tax Status

    The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on May 14,
    2004, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the
    Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable
    requirements of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"). The Plan
    administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
    Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance
    with the applicable requirements of the IRC.



7.   Financial Instruments

    Certain financial instruments potentially subject the Plan to
    concentrations of credit risk.  These financial instruments
    consist of the SunTrust investment accounts, Company stock,
    Florida Rock Industries, Inc. stock and contributions
    receivable.  The Plan limits its credit risk by maintaining
    its accounts with what the plan administrator believes to be
    high quality financial institutions.

8.   Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500

   The following is a reconciliation of net assets available for
   benefits per the financial statements at December 31, 2005 to
