                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

FM Properties Inc. (FMPO) operates through its 99.8 percent interest
in FM Properties Operating Co. (the Partnership), with 0.2 percent
owned by the Managing General Partner, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX).
FTX and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) guarantee the
Partnership's debt.  During 1996, following discussions with the staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, FMPO determined that,
because of the rights that FTX retains in connection with its
guarantee of the Partnership's debt, it would be more appropriate to
reflect its interest in the Partnership under the equity basis of
accounting (prior year consolidated financial information has been
restated to reflect this presentation).  However, if the guarantees
are eliminated, FMPO will have the authority to remove FTX as the
Managing General Partner and FTX's rights with respect to the
Partnership and FMPO would be eliminated.  FMPO has no significant
operations or source of funds other than its interest in the
Partnership.  The Partnership's financial statements follow:

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

FM Properties Inc. (FMPO) operates through its 99.8 percent ownership
of FM Properties Operating Co. (the Partnership), with 0.2 percent
owned by the Managing General Partner, Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (FTX).
FTX and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) guarantee the
Partnership's debt.  During 1996, following discussions with the staff
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, FMPO determined that,
because of the rights that FTX retains in connection with its
guarantee of the Partnership's debt, it would be more appropriate to
reflect its interest in the Partnership under the equity basis of
accounting (prior year consolidated financial information has been
restated to reflect this presentation).  However, if the guarantees
are eliminated, FMPO will have the authority to remove FTX as the
Managing General Partner and FTX's rights with respect to the
Partnership an FMPO would be eliminated.

     During the second quarter of 1996, the Partnership continued to
capitalize on the enhanced sales opportunities at its Austin, Texas
property holdings brought about by the positive legislative and
judicial developments which occurred during 1995 (discussed in FMPO's
1995 Annual Report to Stockholders).  FMPO's second-quarter 1996
revenues from the Partnership's Austin area properties totaled $10.6
million, including the sale of an 80 acre undeveloped tract within the
Barton Creek Development for $2.9 million, its second sale under the
Water Quality Protection Zone legislation enacted in late 1995.
FMPO's Austin area activity also included a $3.7 million sale of the
remaining inventory of developed and undeveloped real estate within
the Lakeside development, which included a marina, 77 developed lots
and 239 acres of undeveloped property.  Additional tracts within the
Barton Creek Development are currently under contract and are
scheduled to close during the second half of 1996.  The sale of
undeveloped tracts to sub-developers is an integral part of FMPO's
business strategy for the Barton Creek Development.  These
transactions provide funds to reduce debt, lower future carrying and
development costs and establish values for the Partnership's remaining
properties within Barton Creek.

     The State Court of Appeals in Austin recently overturned the
favorable District Court ruling which invalidated the "SOS" ordinance
in Austin; however, the appeals court did uphold the lower court's
favorable holding with respect to the interpretation of certain
grandfather rights for platted land.  This decision is not expected to
adversely affect any of the Partnership's property holdings since the
city of Austin's regulatory authority was superseded for the
Partnership's properties by legislation passed in the state
legislature during 1995.  A decision will be made in the near future
with respect to an appeal on the case.

     The Partnership's intensified marketing efforts at its Dallas,
Houston and San Antonio properties resulted in higher second-quarter
1996 sales from these areas compared to the 1995 period. Second-
quarter 1996 revenues include the sale of three separate 19 acre
tracts, located in the Dallas area, for a total of $6.9 million.  In
addition to increasing sales over the 1995 period, the marketing
efforts have generated sales contracts which are scheduled to close
throughout the remainder of 1996.

     Additionally, opportunities for significant transactions
involving the Partnership's properties may arise.  In the past,
permitting and development uncertainties caused valuation assessment
obstacles that kept FMPO from successfully completing negotiations
involving significant transactions.  However, as the Partnership
experiences success in establishing values for its properties, FMPO
can expect opportunities to consider significant transactions
involving its properties.

     FMPO has no significant operations or source of funds other than
its interest in the Partnership.  Accordingly, the following
discussion and analysis addresses the results of operations and the
capital resources and liquidity of the Partnership.    The
Partnership's summary operating results follow:

                         Second Quarter                Six Months
                     ------------------------    ------------------------
                        1996          1995          1996          1995
                     ----------    ----------    ----------    ----------
                                       (In Thousands)
Revenues:
  Developed
   properties        $8,010          $7,566       $12,287      $  11,404
  Undeveloped
   properties
   and other         15,754           4,437        25,306          4,981
                     ------          ------        ------         -------
Total revenues       23,764          12,003        37,593         16,385
Operating income
 (loss)               1,703            (14)         1,612         (1,973)
Net income (loss)       559           (127)          (306)        (2,258)

     Revenues from developed properties represented the sale of 206
and 282 single-family homesites during the second-quarter and six-
month periods of 1996, respectively, compared with the sale of 152 and
242 single-family homesites during the 1995 periods.  Revenues from
undeveloped properties for the second-quarter and six-month periods of
1996 represented the sale of 447 and 603 undeveloped acres,
respectively, compared with the sale of 196 and 202 undeveloped acres
for the year-ago periods.

     General and administrative expenses of the Partnership, combined
with those incurred by FMPO, were reduced to $0.7 million and $1.3
million for the second-quarter and six-month periods of 1996,
respectively, compared with $1.6 million and $2.8 million for the 1995
periods, continuing to reflect the benefit of steps taken in the third
quarter of 1995 to reduce costs.

     Interest expense for the second-quarter and six-month 1996
periods increased because of reduced capitalized interest resulting
from FMPO's success in selling tracts without incurring further
development costs, partially offset by lower average debt levels and
interest rates.

     FMPO's current business strategy includes the sale of larger
undeveloped tracts of land.  These transactions by their nature can
cause significant variations in FMPO's revenues and operating income
during a particular accounting period.  As a result, significant
fluctuations in FMPO's future operating results can be expected in any
given quarter which may cause future operating losses to be incurred.
Consequently, past operating results are not necessarily indicative of
trends in profitability.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

During the first six months of 1996, the Partnership generated
operating cash flow of $25.9 million which, after funding capital
expenditures, enabled FMPO to reduce the Partnership's debt from the
beginning of the year by $22.2 million to $99.1 million.  The
Partnership has the potential to achieve further significant debt
reductions prior to its 1997 principal payment requirements ($29.1
million due February 1997 and $70.0 million due June 1997).  These
reductions are dependent on the future cash flow from the
Partnership's assets and the ability to negotiate significant sales of
assets, which are subject to numerous economic and other factors,
including factors beyond FMPO's control.  There can be no assurance
that the Partnership will generate cash flow or obtain funds
sufficient to make required interest and principal payments.

     FMPO continues to seek a permanent financial restructuring, which
may include issuing new debt or equity investments, and believes that
the ongoing reduction of the Partnership's debt will significantly
improve its alternatives.  An objective in arranging new financing for
FMPO will be to eliminate the guarantees of its debt by FTX and FCX.
These debt guarantees were extended in connection with the extension
of the Partnership's debt maturities achieved during late 1995.  While
FMPO believes any new financing will be beneficial to the long-term
interests of its shareholders, an elimination of the guarantees would
be expected to increase financing costs significantly.  The extent of
any refinancing, including any need to sell properties in connection
therewith, will determine the future net cash flow available to FMPO
to recover its investment in real estate assets.

The results of operations reported and summarized above are not
necessarily indicative of future operating results.
