Preliminary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with
other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
words or phrases “anticipate,” “estimate,” ”believe,” “budget,” “continue,”
“could,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “seek,”
“should,” “will,” “would,” “expect,” “objective,” “projection,”
“forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “effort,” “target”
and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect management’s current views with respect to
financial results related to future events and are based on assumptions and expectations that may not be realized and are inherently subject
to risks and uncertainties, many of which cannot be predicted with accuracy and some of which might not even be anticipated. Future events
and actual results, financial or otherwise, may differ, perhaps materially, from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.
Risk factors discussed in Item 1A of this Form 10-K and other factors that might cause differences, some of which could be material,
include, but are not limited to: the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on our operations and financial results; the possibility that we
may be unable to find appropriate investment opportunities; levels of construction activity in the markets served by our mining properties;
demand for apartments in Washington D.C. and Richmond, Virginia; our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for property
development; the impact of lending and capital market conditions on our liquidity, our ability to finance projects or repay our debt;
general real estate investment and development risks; vacancies in our properties; risks associated with developing and managing properties
in partnership with others; competition; our ability to renew leases or re-lease spaces as leases expire; illiquidity of real estate investments;
bankruptcy or defaults of tenants; the impact of restrictions imposed by our credit facility; the level and volatility of interest rates;
environmental liabilities; inflation risks; cyber security risks; as well as other risks listed from time to time in our SEC filings,
including but not limited to, our annual and quarterly reports. We have no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements,
other than as imposed by law, as a result of future events or new information. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
forward-looking statements.
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.

FRP HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2021
(Unaudited)
(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.
FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in
various real estate businesses, namely (i) mining royalty land ownership and leasing, (ii) land acquisition, entitlement and development
primarily for future warehouse/office or residential building construction, (iii) ownership, leasing, and management of residential apartment
buildings, and (iv) warehouse/office building ownership, leasing and management.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “FRP”) inclusive of our operating real estate subsidiaries,
FRP Development Corp. (“Development”) and Florida Rock Properties, Inc. (”Properties”), RiverFront Investment
Partners I, LLC, and commencing March 31, 2021 also RiverFront Investment Partners II, LLC (See Note 12). Our investment in the Brooksville
joint venture, BC FRP Realty joint venture, RiverFront Investment Partners II, LLC prior to March 31, 2021, Bryant Street Partnerships,
1800 Half Street and Greenville/Woodfield are accounted for under the equity method of accounting (See Note 11). Our ownership of RiverFront
Investment Partners I, LLC and RiverFront Investment Partners II, LLC includes a non-controlling interest representing the ownership of
our partner. The Company uses the cost method to account for its investment in DST Hickory Creek because it does not have significant
influence over operating and financial policies.
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 months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2021. 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 December 31, 2020.
(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
None.
(3) Business Segments.
The Company is reporting its financial performance
based on four reportable segments, Asset Management, Mining Royalty Lands, Development and Stabilized Joint Venture, as described below.
The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages
commercial properties. The flex/office warehouses in the Asset Management Segment were sold and reclassified to discontinued operations
leaving only two commercial properties and one recent industrial acquisition, Cranberry Run, which we purchased in 2019. In July 2020
we sold our property located at 1801 62 nd Street, our most recent spec building in Hollander Business Park, which had joined
Asset Management April 1, 2019.
Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties
comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (this does not include the 4,280 acres owned
in our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials). Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located
in Florida and Georgia.
9
Through our Development segment, we own
and are continuously assessing for their highest and best use for several parcels of land that are in various stages of development.
Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all of our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly
process of constructing new buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally,
our Development segment will form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.
The Stabilized Joint Venture segment includes
joint ventures which own, lease and manage buildings that have met our initial lease up criteria. Two of our two joint ventures in the
segment, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Dock 79”) and RiverFront Investment Partners II, LLC (“The Maren”)
are consolidated. The Maren was consolidated effective March 31, 2021 and prior periods are still reflected under the equity method. The
ownership of Dock 79 and The Maren (commencing March 31, 2021) attributable to our partner MidAtlantic Realty Partners, LLC (MRP) is reflected
on our consolidated balance sheet as a noncontrolling interest. Such noncontrolling interests are reported on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets within equity but separately from shareholders' equity. On the Consolidated Statements of Income, all of the revenues and expenses
from Dock 79 are reported in net income, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and the noncontrolling interest. The Maren
is reflected in Equity in loss of joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income but will be reflected like Dock 79 for periods
commencing April 1, 2021. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is clearly identified on
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

(4) Related Party Transactions.
The Company is a party to a Transition Services
Agreement which resulted from our January 30, 2015 spin-off of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. (Patriot). The Transition Services
Agreement sets forth the terms on which Patriot will provide to FRP certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including
the services of certain shared executive officers. The boards of the respective companies amended and extended this agreement for one
year effective April 1, 2021.
The consolidated statements of income reflect
charges and/or allocation from Patriot for these services of $256,000 and $290,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. These charges are reflected as part of corporate expenses.
To determine these allocations between FRP
and Patriot as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, we employ an allocation method to allocate said expenses and thus we believe
that the allocations to FRP are a reasonable approximation of the costs related to FRP’s operations, but any such related-party
transactions cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis.

On February 6, 2019, the Company entered
into a First Amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”),
effective February 6, 2019. The Credit Agreement modifies the Company’s prior Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo dated January 30,
2015. The Credit Agreement establishes a five-year revolving credit facility with a maximum facility amount of $20 million. The interest
rate under the Credit Agreement will be a maximum
of 1.50% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR, which may be reduced quarterly to 1.25% or 1.0% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR if the Company meets a specified
ratio of consolidated debt to consolidated total capital, as defined which excludes FRP Riverfront. A commitment fee of 0.25% per annum
is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment but the amount may be reduced to 0.20% or 0.15% if the Company meets a specified
ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. The Credit Agreement contains certain conditions, affirmative financial
covenants and negative covenants. As of March 31, 2021, there was no debt outstanding on this revolver, $448,000 outstanding under letters
of credit and $19,552,000 available for borrowing. The letters of credit were issued 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 letter of credit fee is 1% and applicable interest rate would have been 1.1085% on March
31, 2021. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend
restriction. As of March 31, 2021, these covenants would have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $228 million combined.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2021.
On November 17, 2017, Dock 79 borrowed a
principal sum of $90,000,000 pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank. The loan was secured by
the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bore a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and had a term of 120 months. The loan was
paid in full on March 19, 2021. A prepayment penalty of $900,000 was recorded into interest expense in the quarter ending March 31, 2021.
Effective March 31, 2021 the Company consolidated
the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC partnership (“The
Maren”) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. As such the full amount of our mortgage loan was recorded in
the consolidated financial statements.
On March 19, 2021, the Company refinanced
Dock 79 and The Maren projects pursuant to separate Loan Agreements and Deed of Trust Notes entered into with Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association of America, LLC. Dock 79 and The Maren borrowed principal sum of $92,070,000 and $88,000,000 respectively, in connection with
the refinancing. The loans are separately secured by the Dock 79 and The Maren real property and improvements, bear a fixed interest rate
of 3.03% per annum, and require monthly payments of interest only with the principal in full due April 1, 2033. Either loan may be prepaid
subsequent to April 1, 2024 subject to yield maintenance premiums. Either loan may be transferred to a qualified buyer as part of a one-time
sale subject to a 60% loan to value, minimum of 7.5% debt yield and a 0.75% transfer fee.
Debt cost amortization of $38,000 and $34,000
was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020
the Company capitalized interest costs of $928,000 and $935,000, respectively.

excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
During the first three months of 2021 the Company
repurchased 6,004 shares at an average cost of $43.95. During the first three months of 2020 the Company repurchased 82,491 shares at
an average cost of $41.47.
(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans.
The Company has two Stock Option Plans (the 2006 Stock
Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Option Plan) under which options for shares of common stock were granted to directors, officers
and key employees. The 2016 plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock
units, or stock awards. The options awarded under the plans have similar characteristics. All stock options are non-qualified and expire
ten years from the date of grant. Stock based compensation awarded to directors, officers and employees are exercisable immediately or
become exercisable in cumulative installments of 20% or 25% at the end of each year following the date of grant. When stock options are
exercised the Company issues new shares after receipt of exercise proceeds and taxes due, if any, from the grantee.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation
model for estimating fair value of stock compensation for options awarded to officers and employees. Each grant is evaluated based upon
assumptions at the time of grant. The assumptions were no dividend yield, expected volatility between 29% and 41%, risk-free interest
rate of 1.0% to 2.9% and expected life of 3.0 to 7.0 years.
The dividend yield of zero is based on the
fact that the Company does not pay cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated
based on the Company’s historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years. The risk-free interest rate
is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate at the date of grant with a term consistent with the expected life of the
options granted. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to exercise options by the employees.
In January 2021, 8,896 shares of restricted
stock were granted to employees that will vest over the next four years. In January 2021, 18,882 shares of restricted stock were granted
to employees as part of a long-term incentive plan that will vest over the next five years. In March 2020, 20,520 shares of restricted
stock were granted to employees as part of a long-term incentive plan that will vest over the next five years. The number of common shares
available for future issuance was 405,751 at March 31, 2021. In March 2021 and March 2020, 1,098 and 11,448 shares of stock, respectively,
were granted to employees rather than stock options as in prior years.

(8) Contingent Liabilities.
The Company may be involved in
litigation on a number of matters and is 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. 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.
The Company is subject to numerous environmental
laws and regulations. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material
effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that previous environmental studies with
respect to its properties have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not
create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the properties will
not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable
environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.
As of March 31, 2021 there were $448,000
outstanding under letters of credit. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real
estate development.
(9) Concentrations .
The mining royalty lands segment has a total
of five tenants currently leasing mining locations and one lessee that accounted for 30.6% of the Company’s consolidated revenues
during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $270,000 of accounts receivable at March 31, 2021. The termination of these lessees’
underlying leases could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with Wells Fargo
Bank and First Horizon Bank. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.
(10) 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 are those that are unobservable and significant
to the overall fair value measurement.
At March 31, 2021 the Company was invested
in 20 corporate bonds with individual maturities ranging from 2021 through 2022. The unrealized gain on these bonds of $345,000 was recorded
as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained
from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The amortized cost
of the investments was $51,171,000 and the carrying amount and fair value of such bonds were $51,171,000 as of March 31, 2021.
At March 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying
amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit approximate their fair value based
upon the short-term nature of these items.
The fair values of the Company’s other
mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At March
31, 2021, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $178,321,000 and $169,355,000, respectively. At March 31,
2020, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $88,959,000 and $95,486,000, respectively.

(11) Investments in Joint Ventures.
Brooksville. In 2006, the Company entered
into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,300 acres of land near
Brooksville, Florida. Under the terms of the joint venture, FRP contributed its fee interest in approximately 3,443 acres formerly
leased to Vulcan under a long-term mining lease which had a net book value of $2,548,000. Vulcan is entitled to mine a portion of
the property until 2032 and pay royalties to the Company. FRP also contributed $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of a
288-acre contiguous parcel. Vulcan contributed 553 acres that it owned as well as its leasehold interest in the 3,443 acres that it
leased from FRP and $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of the 288-acre contiguous parcel. The joint venture is jointly
controlled by Vulcan and FRP. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated
to the Company. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes a loss of $11,000 representing the Company’s
portion of the loss of this joint venture.
BC FRP Realty (Windlass Run). In 2016, the
Company entered into an agreement with a Baltimore development company (St. John Properties, Inc.) to jointly develop the remaining lands
of our Windlass Run Business Park. The 50/50 partnership initially calls for FRP to combine its 25 acres (valued at $7,500,000) with St.
John Properties’ adjacent 10 acres fronting on a major state highway (valued at $3,239,536) which resulted in an initial cash distribution
of $2,130,232 to FRP in May 2016. Thereafter, the venture will jointly develop the combined properties into a multi-building business
park to consist of approximately 329,000 square feet of single-story office space. On September 28, 2017 BC FRP Realty, LLC obtained $17,250,000
of construction financing commitments for four buildings through September 15, 2022 from BB&T at 2.5% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The
balance outstanding on these loans at March 31, 2021 was $11,969,000.
Bryant Street Partnerships. On December 24,
2018 the Company and MRP formed four partnerships to purchase and develop approximately five acres of land at 500 Rhode Island Ave NE,
Washington, D.C. This property is the first phase of the Bryant Street Master Plan. The property is located in an Opportunity Zone, which
provides tax benefits in the new communities development program as established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The
Company contributed cash of $32 million in exchange for a 61.36% common equity in the partnership. The Company also contributed cash of
$23 million as preferred equity financing at 8.0% interest rate. The Company records interest income for this loan and a loss in equity
in ventures for our 61.36% equity in the partnership. On March 13, 2019 the partnerships closed on a construction loan with a group of
lenders for up to $132 million at an interest rate of 2.25% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The loan matures March 13, 2023 with up to two extensions
of one year each upon certain conditions including, for the first, a debt service coverage of at least 1.10 and a loan-to-value that does
not exceed 65% and for the second, a debt service coverage of 1.25 and a maximum loan-to-value of 65%. Borrower may prepay a portion of
the unpaid principal to satisfy such tests. The loan balance at March 31, 2021 was $95,967,000. The Company and MRP guaranteed $26 million
of the loan in exchange for a 1% lower interest rate. The Company and MRP have a side agreement limiting the Company’s guarantee
to its proportionate ownership. The value of the guarantee was calculated at $1.9 million based on the present value of the 1% interest
savings over the anticipated 48 month term. This amount is included as part of the Company’s investment basis and is amortized to
expense over the 48 months. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting
as all the major decisions are shared equally.
Hyde Park. On January 27, 2018 the Company
entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Essexshire
now known as “Hyde Park.” We have committed up to $3.5 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return
of 20% after which the Company is also entitled to a portion of proceeds from sale. Entitlements for the development of the property are
complete, a homebuilder is under contract to purchase all of the 126 recorded building lots. The first phase of settlement occurred in
May 2020, resulting in a $2.67 million principal and interest payment, with subsequent payments of $1.13 million in principal and interest
payments in the third quarter of 2020.
DST Hickory Creek . In July 2019, the Company
invested $6 million in 1031 proceeds from two sales in 2019 into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) known as CS1031 Hickory Creek Apartments,
DST. The Company is 26.65% beneficial owner and receives monthly distributions. The DST owns a 294-unit garden-style apartment community
consisting of 19 three-story apartment buildings containing 273,940 rentable square feet on approximately 20.4 acres of land. The
property was constructed in 1984 and substantially renovated in 2016. The DST purchased the property in April, 2019 for $45,600,000
with ten-year financing obtained for $29,672,000 at 3.74% with a 30-year amortization period, interest only for five years. The Company’s
equity interest in the trust is accounted for under the cost method because we don’t have significant influence over the operating
and financial policies. Monthly distributions are recorded as equity in gain or loss of joint ventures. Distributions of $84,000 were
received in 2021.
Amber Ridge. On June 26, 2019 the Company entered
into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the
16
principal capital source of a residential development
venture in Prince Georges County, Maryland known as “Amber Ridge.” We have committed up to $18.5 million in exchange for an
interest rate of 10% and a preferred return of 20% after which the Company is also entitled to a portion of proceeds from sale. This project
will hold 187 single-family town homes. We are currently pursuing entitlements and have two homebuilders under contract to purchase all
of the 187 units upon completion of development infrastructure.
1800 Half Street. On December 20, 2019 the
Company and MRP formed a joint venture to acquire and develop a mixed-use project located at 1800 Half Street, Washington, D.C. This property
is located in the Buzzard Point area of Washington, DC, less than half a mile downriver from Dock 79 and the Maren. It lies directly between
our two acres on the Anacostia currently under lease to Vulcan and Audi Field, the home stadium of the DC United. The project is located
in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities’ development program as established by Congress in the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company contributed cash of $37.3 million. MRP will contribute the remainder of its equity in 2020.
The land was acquired in two pieces over the first half of 2020. On June 26, 2020 the partnership closed on a construction loan with Truist
Bank for up to $74 million at an interest rate of 2.25% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The loan matures June 26, 2024 with one extension of
two years requiring a .25% fee, paying principal monthly under a 30-year amortization schedule, and meeting a 9.9% debt yield after the
first year. The ten-story structure will have 344 apartments and 11,246 square feet of ground floor retail. The Company’s equity
interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting because all major decisions are shared equally.
Greenville/Woodfield Partnerships. On December
23, 2019 the Company and Woodfield Development formed a joint venture to develop a mixed-use project in Greenville SC known as .408 Jackson
located across the street from Greenville’s minor league baseball stadium. The project will hold 227 multifamily units and 4,700
square feet of retail space. It is located in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities’ development
program as established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. On April 28, 2020 the partnership closed on a construction loan
with First National Bank of Pennsylvania for up to $36 million at an interest rate of 2.00% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The loan matures
on April 28, 2025 and the payment terms are interest only through April 28, 2024 and fixed principal payments of $17,765 plus interest
through April 28, 2025 when all unpaid principal is due. There is an option of one extension of two years requiring a .1% fee, maintaining
a 1.20-to-1 Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the loan is free from outstanding default events and the appraisal value is 60% of the loan amount.
If extension is accepted principal payments of $17,765 plus interest will continue until maturity when all unpaid principal is due. The
loan balance at March 31, 2021 was $1,857,000. The Company contributed cash of $9.7 million in exchange for a 40% common equity in the
joint venture. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting through
the construction and lease up period. Woodfield personally guaranteed the loan and will be managing the projects day to day operations.
Major decisions for the entity must be made unanimously between both members.
On December 23, 2019 the Company and Woodfield formed
a joint venture to develop a 200-unit multifamily apartment project located at 1430 Hampton Avenue, Greenville, SC. The project is located
in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities’ development program as established by Congress in the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company contributed $6.2 million in exchange for a 40% common equity in the joint venture. On February
14, 2020, Woodfield Riverside OZB, LLC closed on a construction loan with Truist Bank for up to $22.8 million at an interest rate of 2.25%
over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. When the Certificate of Occupancy is received, the interest rate reduces to 2.05% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR.
The loan matures February 10, 2024 with two one-year extension options after initial 48 month term amortizing payments over 30 years,
and meeting Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25-to-1.0. The loan balance at March 31, 2021 was $8,307,000. The Company’s
equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting through the construction and lease up period.
Woodfield personally guaranteed the loan and will be managing the projects day to day operations. Major decisions for the entity must
be made unanimously between both members.

(12) Consolidation of RiverFront Investment Partners
II, LLC. RiverFront Holdings II, LLC .
On May 4, 2018 the Company and MRP Realty formed a
Joint Venture to develop the second 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 and own a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use development which supports 264 residential
units and 6,937 square feet of retail. The Company contributed land with an agreed to value of $16,300,000 (cost basis of $4.6 million)
and $6.2 million of cash to the Joint Venture for an 80% stake in the venture. MRP contributed capital of $5.6 million to the joint venture
including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture and a $725,000 development fee. The Company further agreed to
fund $13.75 million preferred equity financing at 7.5% interest rate all of which was advanced and repaid with interest in March 2021.
The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture was previously 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.
In March 2021, Phase II (The Maren) reached stabilization.
Stabilization in this case means 90% of the individual
20
apartments have been leased and are occupied by third
party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture
to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as
to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”.
Reaching stabilization results in a change of control
for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such,
beginning March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture.
This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $51,139,000 of which $13,012,000 was
attributed to the noncontrolling interest. In accordance with the terms of the Joint Venture agreements, the Company used the fair value
amount at date of conversion and calculated an adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes
effective March 31, 2021 the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit sharing arrangement and is estimated at 72.0% on
a prospective basis.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion includes a non-GAAP financial
measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to supplement the financial results as
reported in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure discussed is net operating income (NOI). The Company uses this metric
to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance.
This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measure”
below in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most
directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Overview - FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding
company engaged in various real estate businesses, namely (i) mining royalty land ownership and leasing, (ii) land acquisition, entitlement
and development primarily for future warehouse/office or residential building construction, (iii) ownership, leasing, and management of
residential apartment buildings, and (iv) warehouse/office building ownership, leasing and management.
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, construction activity and costs, aggregates sales by lessees from the Company’s mining properties, interest rates,
market conditions in the Baltimore/Northern Virginia/Washington DC area, and our ability to obtain zoning and entitlements necessary for
property development. Internal factors include administrative costs, success in leasing efforts and construction cost management.
Asset Management Segment.
The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages
commercial properties. These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, lease management fees and reimbursements
for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for operating expenses, real estate taxes, building
repairs, lease commissions and other lease closing costs, construction of tenant improvements, capital to acquire existing operating buildings
and closing costs related thereto and personnel costs of our property management team.
As of March 31, 2021, the Asset Management Segment
owned three commercial properties in fee simple as follows:
1) 34 Loveton Circle in suburban Baltimore County,
Maryland consists of one office building totaling 33,708 square feet which is 95.1% occupied (16% of the space is occupied by the Company
for use as our Baltimore headquarters). The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.
2) 155 E. 21 st Street in Duval County,
Florida was an office building property that remains under lease through March 2026. We permitted the tenant to demolish all structures
on the property during 2018.
3) Cranberry Run Business Park in Hartford County,
Maryland consists of five office buildings totaling 268,010 square feet which are 87.6% occupied. The property is subject to commercial
leases with various tenants.
Management focuses on several factors to measure our
success on a comparative basis in this segment. The major factors we focus on are (1) net operating income growth, (2) growth in occupancy,
(3) average annual occupancy rate (defined as the occupied square feet at the end of each month during a fiscal year divided by the number
of months to date in that fiscal year as a percentage of the average number of square feet in the portfolio over that same time period),
(4) tenant retention success rate (as a percentage of total square feet to be renewed), (5) building and refurbishing assets to meet Class
A and Class B institutional grade classifications, and (6) reducing complexities and deferred capital expenditures to maximize sale price.
Mining Royalty Lands Segment.
Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties
comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (excluding the 4,280 acres owned by our Brooksville
joint venture with Vulcan Materials). Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia.
The typical lease in this segment requires the tenant to pay us a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our
property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. As a result of this royalty
payment structure, we do not bear the cost risks associated with the mining operations, however, we are subject to the cyclical nature
of the construction markets in these states as both volumes and prices tend to fluctuate through those cycles. In certain locations, typically
where the reserves on our property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual
rental amount. We believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia which would positively
benefit our profitability in this segment. Our mining properties had estimated remaining reserves of 506 million tons as of December
31, 2020 after a total of 8.5 million tons were consumed in 2020.
The major expenses in this segment are comprised of
collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and
property taxes at our non-leased locations and at our
22
Grandin location which, unlike our other leased mining
locations, are not paid by the tenant. As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively
stable and are not affected by increases in production at our locations. Our current mining tenants include Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta,
Cemex, Argos and The Concrete Company.
Additionally, these locations provide us with opportunities
for valuable “second lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement.

Development Segment.
Through our Development segment, we own and are continuously
monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development. Our overall
strategy in this segment is to convert all our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing
new commercial and residential buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally,
our Development segment will purchase or form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.
Revenues in this segment are generated predominately
from land sales and interim property rents. The significant cash outlays incurred in this segment are for land acquisition costs, entitlement
costs, property taxes, design and permitting, the personnel costs of our in-house management team and horizontal and vertical construction
costs.
Since 1990, one of our primary strategies in this
segment has been to acquire, entitle and ultimately develop commercial/industrial business parks providing 5–15 building pads which
we typically convert into warehouse/office buildings. To date, our management team has converted 30 of these pads into developed buildings.
Our typical practice has been to transfer these assets to the Asset Management segment on the earlier to occur of (i) commencement of
rental revenue or (ii) issuance of the certificate of occupancy. We have also occasionally sold several of these pad sites over time to
third parties.
Development Segment – Warehouse/Office Land.
At March 31, 2021 this segment owned the following
future development parcels:
1) 25 acres of horizontally developed land capable of supporting 247,500 square feet of warehouse, office,
and flex buildings at Hollander 95 Business Park in Baltimore City, Maryland.
2) 55 acres of land that will be capable of supporting over 625,000 square feet of industrial product located
at 1001 Old Philadelphia Road in Aberdeen, Maryland.
1001 Old Philadelphia Road : In November 2020,
the Company purchased 55 acres in Aberdeen, Maryland adjacent to our Cranberry Run Business Park for $10.5 million. The project is undergoing
a 12-month annexation process into the Town of Aberdeen with annexation expected in 2022. Upon annexation, the project will be entitled
for industrial development capable of supporting over 625,000 square feet of industrial product.
We will continue to actively monitor these submarkets
where we have lots ready for construction and take advantage of the opportunities presented to us. We will also look for new parcels to
place into development.
23
We have three properties that were either spun-off
to us from Florida Rock Industries in 1986 or acquired by us from unrelated third parties. These properties, as a result of our “highest
and best use” studies, are being prepared for income generation through sale or joint venture with third parties, and in certain
cases we are leasing these properties on an interim basis for an income stream while we wait for the development market to mature.

RIVERFRONT ON THE ANACOSTIA PHASES III-IV: This property
consists of 2.5 acres on the Anacostia River and is immediately adjacent to the Washington National’s baseball park in the SE Central
Business District of Washington, DC. Once zoned for industrial use and under a ground lease, this property is no longer under lease and
has been rezoned for the construction of approximately 600,000 square feet of “mixed-use” development in two phases. See “Stabilized
Joint Venture Segment” below for discussion on Phase I and Phase II. Phases III and IV are slated for office, and hotel/residential
buildings, respectively, all with permitted first floor retail uses.
HAMPSTEAD TRADE CENTER: We purchased this 118-acre
tract in 2005 for $4.3 million in a Section 1031 exchange with plans of developing it as a commercial business park. The “great
recession” caused us to reassess our plans for this property. As a result, Management has determined that the prudent course of
action is to attempt to rezone the property for residential uses and sell the entire tract to another developer such that we can redeploy
this capital into assets with more near-term income producing potential. On December 22, 2018, The Town of Hampstead re-awarded FRP its
request for rezoning with a 30-day appeal period. No appeal was filed, therefore, FRP can now move forward with its residential concept
plan. We are fully engaged in the formal process of seeking PUD entitlements for this 118-acre tract in Hampstead, Maryland, now known
as “Hampstead Overlook”.
SQUARE 664E, WASHINGTON, DC: This property sits on
the Anacostia River at the base of South Capitol Street in an area named Buzzard Point, less than half a mile down river from our RiverFront
on the Anacostia property. The Square 664E property consists of approximately two acres and is currently under lease to Vulcan Materials
for use as a concrete batch plant. The initial term of the lease terminates on August 31, 2021, and Vulcan has exercised its option to
renew for one additional period of five years. In July 2018, Audi Field, the home of the DC United professional soccer club, opened its
doors to patrons in Buzzard Point. Under normal circumstances the 20,000-seat stadium hosts 17 home games each year in addition to other
outdoor events. The stadium is separated from our property by 1800 Half Street, the property acquired in a joint venture between the Company
and MRP in December 2019.
The third leg of our Development Segment consists
of investments in joint ventures for properties in development as described below:

Brooksville Quarry, LLC. . In 2006, the
Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Vulcan Materials Company to jointly own and develop approximately 4,300 acres of land
near Brooksville, Florida. Under the terms of the joint venture, FRP contributed its fee interest in approximately 3,443 acres formerly
leased to Vulcan under a long-term mining lease which had a net book value of $2,548,000. Vulcan is entitled to mine a portion of the
property until 2032 and pay royalties to the Company. FRP also contributed $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of a 288-acre
contiguous parcel. Vulcan contributed 553 acres that it owned as well as its leasehold interest in the 3,443 acres that it leased from
FRP and $3,018,000 for one-half of the acquisition costs of the 288-acre contiguous parcel. The joint venture is jointly controlled by
Vulcan and FRP. Distributions will be made on a 50-50 basis except for royalties and depletion specifically allocated to the Company.
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 includes a loss of $11,000 representing the Company’s portion of the loss
of this joint venture (not including FRP’s royalty revenues).
BC Realty, LLC (Windlass Run) . In March
2016, we entered into an agreement with a Baltimore development company (St. John Properties, Inc.) to jointly develop the remaining lands
of our Windlass Run Business Park. The 50/50 partnership initially called for FRP to combine its 25 acres (valued at $7,500,000) with
St. John Properties’ adjacent 10 acres fronting on a major state highway (valued at $3,239,536) which resulted in an initial cash
distribution of $2,130,232 to FRP in May 2016. Thereafter, the venture will jointly develop the combined properties into a multi-building
business park to consist of approximately 329,000 square feet of single-story office space. The project will take place in several phases,
with construction of the first phase, which includes two office buildings and two retail buildings totaling 100,030-square-feet (inclusive
of 27,950 retail), commenced in the fourth quarter of 2017 and was completed in January 2019. At March 31, 2021 Phase I was 46.9% leased
and occupied, the subsequent phases will follow as each phase is stabilized. On September 28, 2017, BC FRP Realty, LLC obtained $17,250,000
of construction financing commitments for four buildings through September 15, 2022 from BB&T at 2.5% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The
balance outstanding on these loans at March 31, 2021 was $11,969,000. Shell building construction of the two office buildings and two
retail buildings in the first phase of the joint venture was completed in December 2018.
Bryant Street Partnerships: On December 24,
2018 the Company and MRP Realty formed four partnerships to purchase and develop approximately five acres of land at 500 Rhode Island
Ave NE, Washington, D.C. This property is the first phase of the Bryant Street Master Plan. The property is located in an Opportunity
Zone, which provides tax
25
benefits in the new communities development program
as established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This first phase is a mixed-use development which supports 487 residential
units and 85,681 square feet of first floor and stand-alone retail on approximately five acres of the roughly 12-acre site. The Company
contributed cash of $32 million in exchange for a 61.36% common equity in the partnership. The Company also contributed cash of $23 million
as preferred equity financing at 8.0% interest rate. The Company records interest income for this loan and a loss in equity in joint ventures
for our 61.36% equity in the partnership. On March 13, 2019 the partnerships closed on a construction loan with a group of lenders for
up to $132 million at an interest rate of 2.25% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The loan matures March 13, 2023 with up to two extensions of
one year each upon certain conditions including, for the first, a debt service coverage of at least 1.1 and a loan-to-value that does
not exceed 65% and for the second, a debt service coverage of 1.25 and a maximum loan-to-value of 65%. The Company and MRP guaranteed
$26 million of the loan in exchange for a 1% lower interest rate. The Company and MRP have a side agreement limiting the Company’s
guarantee to its proportionate ownership. The value of the guarantee was calculated at $1.9 million based on the present value of the
1% interest savings over the anticipated 48-month term. This amount is included as part of the Company’s investment basis and is
amortized to expense over the 48 months. The Company will evaluate the guarantee liability based upon the success of the project and assuming
no payments are made under the guarantee the Company will have a gain for $1.9 million when the loan is paid in full. Borrower may prepay
a portion of the unpaid principal to satisfy such tests. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under
the equity method of accounting as all the major decisions are shared equally. Construction began in February 2019, with substantial completion
estimated in 3rd quarter 2021, and stabilization (meaning 88% of the individual apartments and retail are leased and occupied by third
party tenants) in late 2022.
Hyde Park. On January 27, 2018 the Company
entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Essexshire
now known as “Hyde Park.” We have committed up to $3.5 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% and a preferred return
of 20% after which a “waterfall” determines the split of proceeds from sale. Entitlements for the development of the property
are complete, a homebuilder is under contract to purchase all of the 126 recorded building lots. The first phase of settlement occurred
in May 2020, resulting in a $2.67 million principal and interest payment, with subsequent payments of $1.13 million in principal and interest
payments in the third quarter of 2020.
Amber Ridge . On June 26, 2019 the Company
entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Prince
Georges County, Maryland known as “Amber Ridge.” We have committed up to $18.5 million in exchange for an interest rate of
10% and a preferred return of 20% after which the Company is also entitled to a portion of proceeds from sale. This project will hold
187 single-family town homes. We are currently pursuing entitlements and have two homebuilders under contract to purchase all of the 187
units upon completion of infrastructure development.
1800 Half Street . On December 20, 2019
the Company and MRP formed a joint venture to acquire and develop a mixed-use project located at 1800 Half Street, Washington, D.C. This
property is located in the Buzzard Point area of Washington, DC, less than half a mile downriver from Dock 79 and the Maren. It lies directly
between our two acres on the Anacostia currently under lease by Vulcan and Audi Field, the home stadium of the DC United. The project
is located in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities’ development program as established by Congress
in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company contributed cash of $37.3 million. The land was acquired in two pieces over the first
half of 2020. On June 26, 2020 the partnership closed on a construction loan with Truist Bank for up to $74 million at an interest rate
of 2.25% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The loan matures June 26, 2024 with one extension of two years requiring a .25% fee, paying principal
monthly under a 30-year amortization schedule, and meeting a 9.9% debt yield after the first year. The ten-story structure will have 344
apartments and 11,246 square feet of ground floor retail. We began construction at the end of August 2020 and expect the building to be
complete in the third quarter of 2022. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method
of accounting as all major decisions are shared equally.
Greenville Partnerships. On December 23, 2019
the Company and Woodfield Development formed a joint venture to develop a mixed-use project in Greenville SC known as .408 Jackson located
across the street from Greenville’s minor league baseball stadium. The project will hold 227 multifamily units and 4,700 square
feet of retail space. It is located in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities’ development program
as established by Congress in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company contributed cash of $9.7 million in
26
exchange for a 40% common equity in the joint venture.
On April 28, 2020 the partnership closed on a construction loan with First National Bank of Pennsylvania for up to $36 million at an interest
rate of 2.00% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. The loan matures on April 28, 2025 and the payment terms are interest only through April
28, 2024 and fixed principal payments of $17,765 plus interest through April 28, 2025 when all unpaid principal is due. There is an option
of one extension of two years requiring a .1% fee, maintaining a 1.20-to-1 Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the loan is free from outstanding
default events and the appraisal value is 60% of the loan amount. If extension is accepted principal payments of $17,765 plus interest
will continue until maturity when all unpaid principal is due. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted for
under the equity method of accounting through the construction and lease up period. Woodfield personally guaranteed the loan and will
be managing the projects day to day operations. Major decisions for the entity must be made unanimously between both members. Construction
began in May 2020 and should be complete in the third quarter of 2022.
On December 23, 2019 the Company and Woodfield formed
a joint venture to develop a 200-unit multifamily apartment project located at 1430 Hampton Avenue, Greenville, SC. The project is located
in an Opportunity Zone, which provides tax benefits in the new communities’ development program as established by Congress in the
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Company contributed $6.2 million in exchange for a 40% common equity in the joint venture. On February
14, 2020, Woodfield Riverside OZB, LLC closed on a construction loan with Truist Bank for up to $22.8 million at an interest rate of 2.25%
over Daily 1-Month LIBOR. When the Certificate of Occupancy is received, the interest rate reduces to 2.05% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR.
The loan matures February 10, 2024 with two one-year extension options after initial 48 month term amortizing payments over 30 years,
and meeting Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.25-to-1.0. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture is accounted
for under the equity method of accounting through the construction and lease up period. Woodfield personally guaranteed the loan and will
be managing the projects day to day operations. Major decisions for the entity must be made unanimously between both members. Construction
began in February 2020 and should be complete in the third quarter of 2021.
Stabilized Joint Venture Segment.
Currently the segment includes three stabilized joint
ventures which own, lease and manage buildings. These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, and reimbursements
for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for property taxes, full service maintenance, property
management, utilities and marketing.
Dock 79. This first phase of our RiverFront
on The Anacostia project is a joint venture owned by the Company (66%) and our partner, MRP Realty (34%) and is a 305-unit residential
apartment building with approximately 18,000 sq. ft. of first floor retail space. For financial reporting purposes the Company consolidates
this venture as it is considered the primary beneficiary of the Variable Interest Entity. As of March 31, 2021, the residential units
were 94.10% occupied and 94.10% leased, while retail units are 76% leased with just one space remaining.
The Maren . In March 2021, Phase II (The Maren)
of the development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C., a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use development which supports
264 residential units and 6,937 square feet of retail developed by a joint venture between the Company and MRP, reached stabilization.
Stabilization in this case means 90% of the individual apartments had been leased and occupied by third party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization,
the Company has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s
and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a
sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”. Reaching stabilization resulted in a change
of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary.
As such, beginning March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of the
joint venture. At the end of March, The Maren was 92.80% leased and 92.04% occupied.
DST Hickory Creek. In July 2019, the Company
invested $6 million in 1031 proceeds from two sales in 2019 into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) known as CS1031 Hickory Creek Apartments,
DST. The Company is 26.649% beneficial owner and receives monthly distributions. The DST owns a 294-unit garden-style apartment community
27
consisting of 19 three-story apartment buildings containing
273,940 rentable square feet. The property was constructed in 1984 and substantially renovated in 2016. The property is located in Henrico
County, providing residents convenient access to some of the largest employment and economic drivers in metro Richmond, including ten
Fortune 1,000 companies. The project is a qualified 1031 like-kind exchange investment and will defer $790,000 in taxes associated with
last year’s asset sales of 7030 Dorsey Road and 1502 Quarry Drive. The Company’s equity interest in the trust is accounted
for under the cost method because we don’t have significant influence over the operating and financial policies. Monthly distributions
are recorded as equity in loss of joint ventures.

Net income for the first quarter of 2021 was $28,373,000 or $3.03 per share
versus $1,618,000 or $.16 per share in the same period last year. The first quarter of 2021 was impacted by the following items:
Gain of $51.1 million on the remeasurement of investment in The Maren
real estate partnership, which is included in Income before income taxes. This gain on remeasurement is mitigated by a $10.3 million provision
for deferred income taxes and $13.0 attributable to noncontrolling interest
The prior year included $251,000 higher professional fees related to environmental
claims on our Anacostia property which were settled late in 2020.
Corporate expense stock compensation of $202,000 compared to $601,000
in the same period last year due the timing of stock grants.
Loss on joint ventures increased $993,000. This is primarily due to $248,000
increased loss at the Maren and a $663,000 increased loss at Bryant Street. Included in this loss is:
$827,000 for our share depreciation and amortization at the Maren which
was not in service during the same period last year
$599,000 loss on phase 1 of Bryant Street due to lease-up efforts on the
first building during the quarter.

Most of the Asset Management Segment was reclassified
to discontinued operations leaving two commercial properties as well as Cranberry Run, which we purchased in the first quarter of 2019,
and 1801 62 nd Street which joined this segment on April 1 of 2019, but was sold in July 2020. Cranberry Run is a five-building
industrial park in Harford County, MD totaling 268,010 square feet of industrial/ flex space and at quarter end was 87.6% leased and occupied.
Total revenues in this segment were $712,000, up $60,000 or 9.2%, over the same period last year. Operating profit was $17,000, up $148,000
from an operating loss of ($131,000) in the same quarter last year. This improvement is primarily due to improved leasing and occupancy
at Cranberry compared to the same quarter last year.

The Development segment is responsible for (i) seeking
out and identifying opportunistic purchases of income producing warehouse/office buildings, and (ii) developing our non-income producing
properties into income production.
With respect to ongoing projects:
We are in the PUD entitlement process for our 118-acre
tract in Hampstead, Maryland, now known as “Hampstead Overlook.” Hampstead Overlook received Concept Plan approval from
the Town of Hampstead for 164 single and 91 town home residential units in February 2020, and the project is currently under Preliminary
Plan review with the governing agencies.
Third quarter of 2020 we received permit entitlements
for two industrial buildings at Hollander Business Park totaling 145,750 square feet. We have started construction and anticipate
shell completion in the third quarter of 2021.
We finished shell building construction in December
2018 on the two office buildings in the first phase of our joint venture with St. John Properties. Shell building construction of
the two retail buildings was completed in January 2019. We are now in the process of leasing these four single-story buildings totaling
100,030 square feet of office and retail space. At quarter end, Phase I was 46.9% leased and occupied.
We are the principal capital source of a residential
development venture in Baltimore County, Maryland known as “Hyde Park.” We have committed up to $3.5 million in exchange
for an interest rate of 10%. Additional proceeds and interest payments above a 20% preferred return on capital determine a split of profits.
Entitlements for the development of the property are complete, and a homebuilder is under contract to purchase all the 126 recorded building
lots. The first phase of settlement occurred in May 2020, resulting in a $2.67 million principal and interest payment, with subsequent
payments of $1.13 million in principal and interest payments in the third quarter of 2020. Currently all principal and $322,605 in accrued
interest has been repaid.
We are the principal capital source of a residential
development venture in Prince George’s County, Maryland known as “Amber Ridge.” We have committed up to $18.5
million in exchange for an interest rate of 10%. Additional proceeds and interest payments above a 20% preferred return on capital determine
a split of profits. Amber Ridge will hold 187 town homes. We are currently pursuing entitlements, mass grading the site, and
have two homebuilders under contract to purchase all 187 units upon completion of development infrastructure.
In December 2018, the Company entered into a joint
venture agreement with MidAtlantic Realty Partners (MRP) for the development of the first phase of a multifamily, mixed-use development
in northeast Washington, DC known as “Bryant Street.” The project is comprised of four buildings, with 487 units and
85,681 net leasable square feet of retail. FRP contributed $32 million in common equity and another $23 million in preferred equity
to the joint venture. Construction began in February 2019 and as of the end of the quarter was 94% complete. Bryant Street
is currently on time, within budget, and expected to be complete in the fourth quarter of 2021. The Coda, the first of our four buildings
at Bryant Street received a temporary certificate of occupancy in December 2020, final was received on April 1, 2021, and leasing efforts
are underway. At quarter end, the Coda was 35.71% leased and 20.78% occupied. This project is
located in an opportunity zone and has allowed the Company to defer $14.9 million in taxes associated with the sale of our industrial
assets.

In December 2019, the Company entered into a joint
venture agreement with MRP for the development of a mixed-use project known as “1800 Half Street.” The development is
located in the Buzzard Point area of Washington, DC, less than half a mile downriver from Dock 79 and the Maren. It lies directly
between our two acres on the Anacostia, currently under lease by Vulcan, and Audi Field, the home stadium of the DC United. The 10-story
structure will have 344 apartments and 11,246 square feet of ground floor retail. FRP contributed $37.3 million in common equity.
The project is a qualified opportunity zone investment and will defer just over $10 million in taxes associated with the sale of our industrial
assets. In June 2020, we closed on a $74 million construction loan. We began construction at the end of August 2020 and expect the
building to be complete in the third quarter of 2022. As of the end of the first quarter, the project was 16% complete.
In December 2019, the company entered into two joint
ventures in Greenville, SC with a new partner, Woodfield Development. Woodfield specializes in Class-A multi-family, mixed use developments
primarily in the Carolinas and DC. Our first joint venture with them is a 200-unit multifamily project known as “Riverside.”
FRP contributed $6.2 million in common equity for a 40% ownership interest. Construction began in February 2020 and should be complete
in the third quarter of 2021. The second joint venture in Greenville with Woodfield is a 227-unit multifamily development known
as “.408 Jackson.” It will have 4,700 square feet of retail and is located across the street from Greenville’s
minor league baseball stadium. FRP contributed $9.7 million in common equity for a 40% ownership interest. Construction began
in May 2020 and should be complete in the third quarter of 2022. Both projects are qualified opportunity investments and will defer
a combined $4.3 million in taxes. At quarter end, Riverside and .408 Jackson are 73% and 37% complete, respectively.
In November 2020, the Company purchased 55 acres
in Aberdeen, Maryland adjacent to our Cranberry Run Business Center for $10.5 million. The project is undergoing a 12-month annexation
process into the Town of Aberdeen with annexation expected in 2022. Upon annexation, the project will be entitled for industrial development
capable of supporting over 625,000 square feet of industrial product. The acquisition was a part of 1031 exchange from the sale
proceeds of 1801 62 nd street which deferred $3.8 million in taxable gain. This will expand our land bank and allow the Company
to continue its industrial development program after we finish developing our remaining inventory at Hollander Business Park.

In March 2021, Phase II (The Maren) of the development
known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C., a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use development which supports 264 residential units
and 6,937 square feet of retail developed by a joint venture between the Company and MRP, reached stabilization. Stabilization in this
case means 90% of the individual apartments had been leased and occupied by third party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company
has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s
and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a
sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”.
31
Reaching stabilization resulted in a change of control
for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such,
beginning March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value based on appraisal), liabilities and operating results
of the joint venture. At the end of March, The Maren was 92.80% leased and 92.04% occupied. The Maren is reflected in Equity in loss of
joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income but all the revenue and expenses will be reflected like Dock 79 in the stabilized
joint venture segment for periods commencing April 1, 2021.
Dock 79’s average residential occupancy for
the quarter was 94.68%, and at the end of the quarter, Dock 79’s residential units were 94.10% leased and 94.10% occupied. This
quarter, 60.00% of expiring leases renewed with no increase in rent due to the mandated rent freeze on renewals in DC. Net Operating Income
this quarter for this segment was $1,534,000, down $278,000 or 15.34% compared to the same quarter last year. This decrease in NOI is
the result of decreased traffic to our retail tenants as well the emergency measures that remain in place which legally prevent us from
raising rent on lease renewals. Dock 79 is a joint venture between the Company and MRP, in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner
with 66% ownership.
In March, we completed a refinancing of Dock 79 as
well as securing permanent financing for the Maren. This $180 million loan ($92 million for Dock 79, $88 million for The Maren) lowers
the interest rate at Dock 79 from 4.125% to 3.03%, defers any principal payments for 12 years for both properties, and repays the $13.75
million in preferred equity along with $2.3 million in accrued interest.
In July 2019, the Company completed a like-kind exchange
by reinvesting $6,000,000 into a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) known as CS1031 Hickory Creek DST. The DST owns a 294-unit garden-style
apartment community known as Hickory Creek consisting of 19 three-story apartment buildings containing 273,940 rentable square feet.
Hickory Creek was constructed in 1984 and substantially renovated in 2016 and is located in suburban Richmond, Virginia. The Company is
26.649% beneficial owner and receives monthly distributions. First quarter distributions were $84,000. The project is a qualified 1031
like-kind exchange investment and will defer $790,000 in taxes associated with the sales of 7030 Dorsey Road and 1502 Quarry Drive.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The growth
of the Company’s businesses requires significant cash needs to acquire and develop land or operating buildings and to construct
new buildings and tenant improvements. As of March 31, 2021, we had $117,377,000 of cash and cash equivalents along with $51,171,000 of
investments available for sale. As of March 31, 2021, we had no debt borrowed under our $20 million Wells Fargo revolver, $448,000 outstanding
under letters of credit and $19,552,000 available to borrow under the revolver. On March 19, 2021, the Company refinanced Dock 79 and
The Maren projects pursuant to separate Loan Agreements and Deed of Trust Notes entered into with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association
of America, LLC. Dock 79 and The Maren borrowed principal sum of $92,070,000 and $88,000,000 respectively, in connection with the refinancing.

Operating Activities - Net cash provided by
operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $3,420,000 versus $3,983,000 in the same period last year. The Gain
on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership and related deferred income taxes were both non-cash adjustments to net income
to arrive at net cash provided by operating activities.
Investing Activities - Net cash provided by
investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $38,524,000 versus net cash used in investing activities of $15,488,000
in the same period last year. The $54 million increase was primarily due to a return of our preferred equity financing with interest of
$16.1 million from The Maren, $24.7 million decrease in purchases of corporate bonds due to lack of attractive investment opportunities,
an $11.8 million increase on maturities and sales of our corporate bond portfolio, and $3.7 million for cash on the books of The Maren
upon consolidation.
At March 31, 2021 the Company was invested
in 20 corporate bonds with individual maturities over the next 10 months. The unrealized gain on these bonds of $345,000 was recorded
as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained
from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The Company recorded
a no realized gains or losses on bonds that matured or were sold in 2021.
Financing Activities – Net cash provided
by investing activities was $990,000 versus net cash used in financing activities of $3,727,000 in the same period last year due primarily
due to the refinancing of Dock 79 for $1.4 million more net of debt issuance costs than the amount matured offset by $3.2 million lower
repurchases of company stock.
Credit Facilities - On February 6,
2019 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A. (Wells Fargo”). The Credit Agreement modifies the Company’s prior Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo, dated January 30,
2015. The Credit Agreement establishes a five-year revolving credit facility with a maximum facility amount of $20 million. The interest
rate under the Credit Agreement will be a maximum of 1.50% over Daily 1-Month LIBOR, which may be reduced quarterly to 1.25% or 1.0% over
Daily 1-Month LIBOR if the Company meets a specified ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. A commitment fee
of 0.25% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment but the amount may be reduced to 0.20% or 0.15% if the
Company meets a specified ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. The credit agreement contains certain conditions
and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend restriction. As of March 31, 2021, these covenants would
have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $228 million combined.
On March 19, 2021, the Company refinanced
Dock 79 and The Maren projects pursuant to separate Loan Agreements and Deed of Trust Notes entered into with Teachers Insurance and Annuity
Association of America, LLC. Dock 79 and The Maren borrowed principal sum of $92,070,000 and $88,000,000 respectively, in connection with
the refinancing. The loans are separately secured by the Dock 79 and The Maren real property and improvements, bear a fixed interest rate
of 3.03% per annum, and require monthly payments of interest only with the principal in full due April 1, 2033. Either loan may be prepaid
subsequent to April 1, 2024 subject to yield maintenance premiums. Either loan may be transferred to a qualified buyer as part of a one-time
sale subject to a 60% loan to value, minimum of 7.5% debt yield and a 0.75% transfer fee. Effective March 31, 2021 the Company consolidated
the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC partnership (The Maren)
which was previously accounted for under the equity method. As such the full amount of our mortgage loan was recorded in the consolidated
financial statements.
Cash Requirements – The Company
currently expects its capital expenditures for the remainder of 2021 to include approximately $31.1 million for real estate including
investments in joint ventures, which will be funded mostly out of cash and investments on hand, cash generated from operations and property
sales, or borrowings under our credit facilities.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19
pandemic is having an extraordinary impact on the world
33
economy and the markets in which we operate. As an
essential business, we have continued to operate throughout the pandemic in accordance with White House guidance and orders issued by
state and local authorities. We have implemented social distancing and other measures to protect the health of our employees and customers.
Our Dock 79 and The Maren properties in Washington, D.C. suffered the principal impacts to our business from the pandemic during 2020
due to our retail tenants being unable to operate at capacity, the lack of attendance at the Washington Nationals baseball park and the
rent freeze imposed by the District. It is possible that these same conditions may impact our ability to lease retail spaces at Bryant
Street. We anticipate that these impacts will continue for at least the first half of 2021.
Summary and Outlook . Now a full year into life
in a pandemic, we find ourselves equal parts grateful, optimistic, and excited. We are grateful for the way in which our assets have responded
to the pandemic; optimistic as the number of those vaccinated continues to increase and a path back to normalcy is starting to materialize;
and excited for what the future holds for both the assets we have in place and those in our development pipeline.
Royalty revenue this quarter was up 5.93% over the
same period last year—a quarter last year that was for the most part operating in a pre-covid environment and also the first quarter
of the best revenue year in the segment’s history. Revenue for the last twelve months was $9,606,523, an increase of 2.26% over
the same period last year and an increase of 1.37% over calendar year 2020. This is the first time this segment has surpassed $9.5 million
in revenue in any twelve-month period and also happens to mark the best first quarter of revenue and the best twelve months of revenue
in the segment’s history.
This was a very important quarter for the Stabilized
Joint Venture segment. For two straight quarters, Dock 79’s occupancy has been above 94% at the end of the quarter, which is higher
than it has been since September of 2019. As alluded to previously, in March, we completed a refinancing of Dock 79 as well as securing
permanent financing for the Maren. This 12-year, interest-only loan will significantly lower our debt service both in terms of interest
and by deferring any principal payments for the life of the loan. In paying off our preferred equity in The Maren, this loan also returns
over $16 million to the Company in the form of $13.75 million in equity and $2.3 million in accrued interest. Most importantly, this quarter
saw the stabilization and subsequent consolidation of The Maren as the joint venture achieved occupancy greater than 90%. Hitting this
milestone less than three years after we began construction, and almost a year to the day after leasing commenced—to say it exceeded
our expectations would stretch the definition of understatement. However obvious, it bears repeating that all of these things happened
during a pandemic , which is a powerful testament to both the product at Riverfront on the Anacostia as well as its location. The
fact that baseball has started back up with fans in attendance should only further interest in our properties and bolster revenues for
our retail tenants.
We remain pleased with the current direction of our
asset management segment, particularly the industrial assets. As mentioned previously, Cranberry Run is nearly 90% leased and occupied,
the highest level of occupancy since we purchased it, and a sizeable increase from its 54% level of occupancy at this time last year.
The speed with which we leased up and then sold our building at 1801 62 nd Street last year strengthened our commitment to this
shift in our approach to industrial development. We have two adjacent buildings under construction at Hollander and intend follow a similar
course of action. Beyond that, we have bolstered our land bank with the $10.5 million purchase of 55 acres in Aberdeen, Maryland. Once
entitled, this property will be capable of supporting over 625,000 square feet of industrial product and will be essential for future
industrial development as we finish developing our remaining inventory at Hollander Business Park.
This will be a year of transition on both a micro
and macro level for the Company. As we finish construction this year on the remaining buildings at Bryant Street and the first of our
two developments in Greenville, we will transition into a company with a far more substantial multifamily footprint as we as a nation
are transitioning beyond COVID. We remain optimistic regarding the long-term success of these projects and the Company, because we can
afford to remain optimistic. Our more than $160 million in liquidity allows us that luxury. We will continue to be opportunistic in repurchasing
stock. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company repurchased 6,004 shares at an average cost of $43.95 per share.

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 our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo.
Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the applicable
margin for borrowings at March 31, 2021 was Daily 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased
in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.
The Company did not have any variable rate debt at
March 31, 2021, so a sensitivity analysis was not performed to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company’s
results of operations and cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE
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.
As of March 31, 2021, the Company, under the supervision
and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO
and CAO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material
information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.
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 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
Through its joint venture with MRP Realty, the Company
is redeveloping the property located at 680 Rhode Island Avenue N.E. in Washington, D.C. In connection with the redevelopment, the Company
discovered and removed three underground storage tanks. Post-excavation sampling of the sidewall and soil was conducted to investigate
the potential extent of contamination. The sidewall sampling detected the presence of some petroleum-related
36
contaminants, only two of which (ethylbenzene and
naphthalene) were detected at concentrations that exceeded applicable regulatory limits in a limited area of the sidewall.
The Company previously disclosed that on March 20,
2020, the Department of Energy and the Environment (“DOEE”) issued a Comprehensive Site Assessment Directive Letter dated
March 20, 2020 (the “Directive”). The Directive indicated that DOEE’s Underground Storage Tank Branch had opened a Leaking
Underground Storage Tank case relating to the former tanks, and directed preparation of a Work Plan and CSA report “to delineate
the extent of both groundwater and soil contamination.” Notably, the Directive indicated that whether a Corrective Action Plan would
be needed would be determined following DOEE’s review of the CSA report. The DOEE subsequently reviewed our CSA report and issued
a No Further Action Letter on March 15, 2021.
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 December 31, 2020, 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.
