(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.

FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in the real estate business, 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 a residential apartment building, 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”) and RiverFront Investment Partners I, LLC. Our investment in the Brooksville joint venture, BC FRP Realty joint venture, RiverFront Holdings II joint venture, 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 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.

On May 21, 2018, the Company completed the disposition of 40 industrial warehouse properties and three additional land parcels to an affiliate of Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII, L.P. for $347.2 million. One warehouse property valued at $11.7 million was excluded from the sale due to the tenant exercising its right of first refusal to purchase the property. On June 28, 2019, the Company completed the sale of the excluded property to the same buyer for $11.7 million. This resulted in the disposition of all of the Company’s industrial flex/office warehouse properties prior to the sale date and constituted a major strategic shift and as a result, these properties have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The Asset Management segment currently contains three commercial properties.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. 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, 2019.

(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. The Company is not a significant lessee. Lessors will account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing accounting standards. The Company's existing leases will continue to be classified as operating leases. Leases entered into after the effective date of the new standard may be classified as operating or sales-type leases, based on specific classification criteria. Operating leases will continue to have a similar pattern of recognition as under current GAAP. Sales-type lease accounting, however, will result in the recognition of selling profit at lease commencement, with interest income recognized over the life of the lease. The new standard also includes a change to the treatment of internal leasing costs and legal costs, which can no longer be capitalized. Only incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained may be deferred as initial direct costs. The new standard also requires lessors to exclude from variable

payments certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes, that the lessor contractually requires the lessee to pay directly to a third party on its behalf. The new standard requires our expected credit loss related to the collectability of lease receivables to be reflected as an adjustment to the line item Lease Revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the credit loss related to the collectibility of lease receivables was recognized in the line item Operating expenses and was not significant. Additionally, the new standard requires lessors to allocate the consideration in a contract between the lease component (right to use an underlying asset) and non-lease component (transfer of a good or service that is not a lease). However, lessors are provided with a practical expedient, elected by class of underlying asset, to account for lease and non-lease components of a contract as a single lease component if certain criteria are met. The terms of the Company's leases generally provide that the Company is entitled to receive reimbursements from tenants for operating expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, in addition to the base rental payments for use of the underlying asset. Under the new standard, common area maintenance is considered a nonlease component of a lease contract, which would be accounted for under Topic 606. However, the Company will apply the practical expedient to account for its lease and non-lease components as a single, combined operating lease component. While the timing of recognition should remain the same, the Company is no longer presenting reimbursement revenue from tenants separately in our Consolidated Statements of Income beginning January 1, 2019. The new standard along with the adoption of ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements which the FASB issued in July 2018, was adopted effective January 1, 2019 and we have elected to use January 1, 2019 as our date of initial application. We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we were not required to reassess (1) whether an existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for existing leases; or (3) costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

(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 2019 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.

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. One of our two joint ventures in the segment, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Dock 79”) is consolidated. The ownership of Dock 79 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 amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is clearly identified on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

Operating results and certain other financial data for the Company’s business segments are as follows (in thousands):

(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, 2020.

The consolidated statements of income reflect charges and/or allocation from Patriot for these services of $290,000 and $347,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 and $870,000 and $976,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Included in the charges above are amounts recognized for corporate executive stock-based compensation expense. 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.

(5) Long-Term Debt.

Long-term debt is summarized as follows (in thousands):

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 September 30, 2020, there was no debt outstanding on this revolver, $411,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $19,589,000 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 1.149% on September 30, 2020. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend restriction. As of September 30, 2020, these covenants would have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $219 million combined. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2020.

On November 17, 2017, Riverfront Holdings I, LLC (the "Joint Venture") refinanced the Dock 79 project pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank ("Loan Documents"). The Joint Venture, which was formed between the Company and MRP in 2014 in connection with the development of the Riverfront on the Anacostia property, borrowed a principal sum of $90,000,000 in connection with the refinancing. The loan is secured by the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bears a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and has a term of 120 months. During the first 48 months of the loan term, the Joint Venture will make monthly payments of interest only, and thereafter, make monthly payments of principal and interest in equal installments based upon a 30-

year amortization period. The loan is a non-recourse loan. However, all amounts due under the Loan Documents will become immediately due upon an event of default by the Joint Venture, such events including, without limitation, Joint Venture's (i) failure to: pay, permit inspections or observe covenants under the Loan Documents, (ii) breach of representations made under the Loan Documents (iii) voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, and (iv) dissolution, or the dissolution of the guarantor. MRP has executed a carve-out guaranty in connection with the loan.

Debt cost amortization of $34,000 and $102,000 was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 the Company capitalized interest costs of $948,000 and $870,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019 the Company capitalized interest costs of $2,823,000 and $1,960,000, respectively.
