      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         MARCH 31, 1998
                           (Unaudited)

(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
periods have been included.  Operating results for the six months
ended March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended September
30, 1998.  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, 1997.

(2)  Earnings Per Share. Effective December 31, 1997, the Company
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128").  SFAS 128 replaced the
presentation of primary earnings per share (EPS) and fully
diluted EPS with a presentation of basic and diluted EPS.  Basic
earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the periods.  Diluted earnings
per share are based on the weighted average number of common
shares and potential dilution of securities that could share in
earnings.  Earnings per share for all prior periods have been
restated.

(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
1997 Annual Report to stockholders.  Such information is
incorporated herein by reference.

For the second quarter and first six month of fiscal 1998, ended March 31,
1998, consolidated revenues increased 9.9% and 8.8%, respectively, over the
same periods last year.   The Transportation segment revenues for the
second quarter and first half increased 9.5% and 8.0%, respectively, due
principally to an increase in miles hauled coupled with a slight increase
in the average hauling price.  Real Estate revenues increased 13.4% for the
second quarter and 14.9% for the first half from the same period last year. 
Real Estate increase in revenues was primarily due to $195,000 of timber
sales in fiscal 1998, lease up from a warehouse/office building that was
under construction in the first half of 1997, and increased mining
royalties.

Gross profit in Transportation increased $361,000 for the second quarter
and $573,000 for the first six months from the same periods last year.  The
increase was due primarily to increased gains on the sale of equipment and
increased revenues.   Variances in fuel costs continued to be positive but
were largely offset by an increase in drivers wages.   Equipment sales
increased $191,000 for the second quarter and $363,000 for the six months.

Gross profit in the Real Estate segment increased $171,000 for the second
quarter and $570,000 for the first six months.   The improvement for the
second quarter was primarily due to one warehouse being vacated for two
months of last year and lease up of a warehouse/office building that was
under construction last year.   For the first six months the increase was
primarily due to gross profit of $188,000 on the sales of timber in the
first half of 1998, the first half of 1997 included a write off of $134,000
in prior tenant improvement resulting from leasing existing space to a new
tenant and higher rental income due to leasing this space and lease up of
project under construction last year.

The selling, general and administrative expense increased $162,000 for the
second quarter, and $159,000 for the first six months from the same periods
last year.   Selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of
sales was 9.4% for the second quarter which was level with the same period
last year, and for the first six months was 9.0% compared to 9.3% last
year.

Interest expense increased $78,000 for the second quarter, and $164,000 for
the first six months due primarily to an increase in the average debt
outstanding and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average interest
rate.   These increases were partially offset by a greater capitalization
of interest in fiscal 1998.

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 1997, the transportation segment's ten largest customers
accounted for approximately 31% 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 1997 Annual
Report to stockholders.  Such information is incorporated herein by
reference.
