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:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of FM Properties Inc.:
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
of FM Properties Inc. (the Company), a Delaware Corporation, as of
September 30, 1996, and the related condensed statements of operations
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996
and 1995, and the condensed statements of cash flow for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of
interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications
that should be made to the financial statements referred to above for
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the balance sheet of FM Properties Inc. as of
December 31, 1995, and the related statements of operations,
stockholders' equity and cash flow for the year then ended (not
presented herein), and in our report dated January 23, 1996, based on
our audit, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1995, is
fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

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.
Throughout 1996, FMPO has capitalized on the enhanced sales
opportunities at the Partnership's Austin, Texas property holdings
brought about by the positive legislative and judicial developments
which occurred during 1995. The Partnership's third-quarter 1996
revenues from its Austin area properties totaled $25.9 million,
including the sale of the Barton Creek Country Club and Conference
Resort for $25.0 million and the sale of a 24 acre undeveloped tract
for $0.7 million. Several additional tracts within the Barton Creek
Development are currently under contract and are scheduled to close
during the remainder of 1996 and early 1997. In addition to the sales
in the Austin area, third-quarter 1996 revenues also include the sale
of 22 acres of undeveloped commercial property, located in the Dallas
area, for $5.7 million. The sale of undeveloped tracts to sub-
developers is an integral part of FMPO's business strategy. These
transactions provide funds to reduce debt, lower future carrying and
development costs and establish values for the Partnership's remaining
properties.
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 upheld the lower court's
favorable holding with respect to the interpretation of certain
grandfather rights for platted land. A decision will be made in the
near future with respect to an appeal of the case. This ruling is not
expected to adversely affect any of the Partnership's property
holdings. The City of Austin's regulatory authority was, in effect,
superseded by Texas state legislation enacted during 1995.
Included in this legislation was the creation of the Southwest
Travis County Water District (District) which encompasses the land
owned by Circle C Land Corp. (Circle C), a wholly owned subsidiary.
In October 1996, the City of Austin filed a petition for declaratory
judgment asserting that the legislation that created the District is
unconstitutional. The District has indicated that it intends to
defend itself against the City's claim. None of FMPO's land other
than the land owned by Circle C is included in the District.
During the third quarter of 1996, FMPO reached an agreement to
sell the remaining assets of Circle C for $34.0 million. The
remaining assets of Circle C consist of approximately 1,000 acres of
undeveloped commercial and multi-family property within the Circle C
Ranch development near Austin, Texas. FMPO received a $1.0 million
non-refundable cash deposit, with the balance of the purchase price to
be received $30.0 million in cash and $3.0 million in a secured note
at closing which is scheduled for the first quarter of 1997. The
completion of this sale is however, subject to the ability of the
purchaser to secure financing which may be affected by the recent
litigation discussed in the preceding paragraph.

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:
Third Quarter Nine Months
------------------ --------------------
1996 1995 1996 1995
------- ------- ------- -------
(In Thousands)
Revenues:
Developed
properties $28,081 $21,058 $ 40,368 $32,462
Undeveloped
properties and
other 6,380 4,439 31,686 9,420
----- ----- ----- -----
Total revenues 34,461 25,497 72,054 41,882

Operating income
(loss) 2,114 (936) 3,726 (2,909)
Net income (loss) 1,011 (1,019) 705 (3,277)
Revenues from developed properties for the 1996 periods include
$25.0 million from the sale of the Barton Creek Country Club and
Conference Resort, as well as $3.1 million and $15.4 million from the
sale of 57 and 339 single-family homesites during the third-quarter
and nine-month periods of 1996, respectively. Revenues from developed
properties for the 1995 periods consisted of $15.8 million from the
sale of the Circle C residential properties, as well as $5.2 million
and $16.6 million from the sale of 101 and 343 single-family homesites
during the third-quarter and nine-month periods of 1995, respectively.
Revenues from undeveloped properties for the third-quarter and nine-
month periods of 1996 represented the sale of 46 and 649 undeveloped
acres, respectively, compared with the sale of 101 and 303 undeveloped
acres for the year-ago periods.
General and administrative expenses of the Partnership, combined
with those incurred by FMPO, declined to $0.6 million and $1.9 million
for the third-quarter and nine-month periods of 1996, respectively,
compared with $0.9 million and $3.7 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 1996 periods increased because of
reduced capitalized interest, partially offset by lower average debt
levels and interest rates.
During the third quarter of 1996, FMPO recognized a $0.5 million
tax benefit for the carryback of the current year's estimated tax loss
to recoup federal income taxes paid in previous years.
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 nine months of 1996, the Partnership generated
operating cash flow of $61.5 million which, after funding capital
additions, enabled FMPO to reduce the Partnership's debt from the
beginning of the year by $57.4 million. With the cash proceeds from
future property sales, including the potential sale of the remaining
Circle C properties (see above), the Partnership may be able to reduce
its debt further prior to its 1997 principal payment requirements
($29.1 million due February 1997 and $34.8 million due June 1997).
These reductions are dependent on the future cash flow from the
Partnership's assets, which is subject to numerous economic and other
factors, including factors beyond FMPO's control. FMPO is presently
engaged in negotiations with its commercial banks and is seeking to
extend the maturities of the Partnership's debt. 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 obtaining a new bank credit facility or issuing new debt
or equity investments. An objective in arranging new financing for
FMPO will be to eliminate the guarantees of its debt by FTX and FCX.
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
<PAGE> 9
need to sell properties in connection therewith, will determine the future net
cash flow available to FMPO to recover its investment in the Partnership.

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