(1)  Basis of Presentation.  The accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its subsidiaries.  These statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and
do not include all the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for
a fair presentation of the results for the interim period have been
included.  Operating results for the six months ended March 31,
1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.  The
accompanying consolidated financial statements and the information
included under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis"
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes of FRP Properties, Inc. for the year
ended September 30, 1996.

(2)  Earnings Per Share.  Earnings per share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding and common stock
equivalents, where applicable, during the periods.  Fully diluted
earnings per share are not reported because the effect would have
been less than 3% dilutive.

(3)  Contingent Liabilities.  The Company and its subsidiaries are
subject to legal proceedings and claims arising out of their
businesses that cover a wide range of matters.  Additional
information concerning these matters is presented in Note 10 to the
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 1996
Annual Report to stockholders.  Such information is incorporated
herein by reference.

For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 1997, ended March 31,
1997, consolidated revenues increased 1.7% and 4.3%, respectively, over the
same periods last year.

The Transportation segment had increased revenue for the second quarter and 
first half of 3.8% and 5.8%, respectively, due principally to a 3.3% increase
in the average hauling price in the quarter and in the first six month period
due to a 3.7% increase in miles hauled coupled with a 2.0% increase in the
average hauling price.

Real estate revenues declined $246,000 or 11.4% for the second quarter and
$216,000 or 5.2% for the first half from the same periods last year.  The
decreases in revenue resulted principally from a decrease in royalty income
of approximately $170,000 for both the second quarter and first six months
and a decrease in rental income due to a portion of one warehouse being
vacant for two months in the second quarter while being refurbished for new
tenants.  This space has subsequently been leased.  The decrease in royalty
income was due principally to a decrease in mining activities on two of the
Company's properties.

For the second quarter and first six months gross profit decreased 3.6% and
8.4%, respectively, from the same periods last year.

Gross profit in the Transportation segment decreased $111,000 (4.9%) for the
second quarter and $537,000 (10.8%) for the first six months from the same
periods last year.  The per gallon fuel cost has been trending down since
October 1996.  However, the average per gallon cost for the second quarter
and first six months was 5.6% and 12.8% higher than the respective periods
last year.  The Transportation segment's gross profit for the second quarter
and first six months of fiscal 1996 included a net gain from the sale of
revenue equipment of $282,000 and $412,000, respectively, over the same
periods in fiscal 1997.

Gross profit in the Real Estate segment decreased $7,000 and $66,000 for the
second quarter and first six months, respectively, from the same periods last
year.  The decreases were due principally to the decrease in revenue and for
the first six month period, the write-off of tenant improvements in the first
quarter of fiscal 1997 of $134,000.  The amount of the decreases were offset
because in the second quarter of fiscal 1996 the Company abandoned and wrote
off $150,000 in fees and other zoning costs associated with a potential
development property.

Selling, general and administrative expense in the second quarter remained
about level with the second quarter last year.  The increase in selling,
general and administrative expense in the first six months was due
principally to the increased revenue.  Selling, general and administrative
expense as a percent of sales was 9.3% in the current periods, down from 9.5%
in the same periods last year.

In the second quarter and first six months of this year the Company
capitalized $71,000 and $128,000, respectively, in interest expense as part
of the cost of two projects which are under construction.  This was the
principal reason that interest expense declined $91,000 and $154,000 from the
same periods last year.


Financial Condition

The Company continues to maintain its sound financial condition with
sufficient resources to meet anticipated capital expenditures and other
operating requirements.


Other.

During fiscal 1996, the transportation segment's ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 35% of transportation's revenue.  The loss of any
one of these customers could have an adverse effect on the Company's revenue
and income.

While the Company is affected by environmental regulations, such regulations
are not expected to have a major effect on the Company's capital expenditures
or operating results.  Additional information concerning environmental
matters is presented in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements
included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report to stockholders.  Such
information is incorporated herein by reference.
