(1) Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.
FRP Holdings, Inc. is a holding company engaged in various real estate businesses, 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 residential apartment buildings, 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”), Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC, and commencing March 31, 2021 also Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC (See Note 12). Our investment in the Brooksville joint venture, BC FRP Realty joint venture, Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC prior to March 31, 2021, 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 and Riverfront Investment Partners II, 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.
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, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. 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, 2020.
(2) Recently Issued Accounting Standards.
None.
(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 2020 we sold our property located at 1801 62nd 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. Two of our two joint ventures in the segment, Riverfront Investment Partners I, LLC (“Dock 79”) and Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC (“The Maren”) are consolidated. The Maren was consolidated effective March 31, 2021 and prior periods are still reflected under the equity method. The ownership of Dock 79 and The Maren (commencing March 31, 2021) 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 Maren is reflected in Equity in loss of joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income for the periods up to March 31, 2021 but is reflected like Dock 79 for periods commencing April 1, 2021. 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, 2021.
The consolidated statements of income reflect charges and/or allocation from Patriot for these services of $260,000 and $290,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and $772,000 and $870,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. 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.
The Company’s Outstanding Debt, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, consisted of the following (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, 2021, there was nodebt outstanding on this revolver, $506,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $19,494,000 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 1.08238% on September 30, 2021. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend restriction. As of September 30, 2021, these covenants would have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $228 million combined.
On November 17, 2017, Dock 79 borrowed a principal sum of $90,000,000 pursuant to a Loan Agreement and Deed of Trust Note entered into with EagleBank. The loan was secured by the Dock 79 real property and improvements, bore a fixed interest rate of 4.125% per annum and had a term of 120 months. The loan was paid in full on March 19, 2021. A prepayment penalty of $900,000 was recorded into interest expense in the quarter ending March 31, 2021.
Effective March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC partnership (“The Maren”) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. As such the full amount of our mortgage loan was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
On March 19, 2021, the Company refinanced Dock 79 and The Maren projects pursuant to separate Loan Agreements and Deed of Trust Notes entered into with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, LLC. Dock 79 and The Maren borrowed principal sums of $92,070,000 and $88,000,000 respectively, in connection with the refinancing. The loans are separately secured by the Dock 79 and The Maren real property and improvements, bear a fixed interest rate of 3.03% per annum, and require monthly payments of interest only with the principal in full due April 1, 2033. Either loan may be prepaid subsequent to April 1, 2024, subject to yield maintenance premiums. Either loan may be transferred to a qualified buyer as part of a one-time sale subject to a 60% loan to value, minimum of 7.5% debt yield and a 0.75% transfer fee.
Debt cost amortization of $37,000 and $113,000was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 the Company capitalized interest costs of $999,000 and $948,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020 the Company capitalized interest costs of $2,892,000 and $2,823,000, respectively.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2021.
(6) Earnings per Share.
The following details the computations of the Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Common Share (in thousands, except per share amounts):
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 19,950shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, 74,065 and 53,545 shares attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
During the first nine months of 2021 the Company repurchased6,004 shares at an average cost of $43.95. During the first nine months of 2020 the Company repurchased 379,809 shares at an average cost of $41.30.
(7) Stock-Based Compensation Plans.
The Company has two Stock Option Plans (the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2016 Equity Incentive Option Plan) under which options for shares of common stock were granted to directors, officers and key employees. The 2016 plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or stock awards. The options awarded under the plans have similar characteristics. All stock options are non-qualified and expireten years from the date of grant. Stock based compensation awarded to directors, officers and employees are exercisable immediately or become exercisable in cumulative installments of 20% or 25% at the end of each year following the date of grant. When stock options are exercised, the Company issues new shares after receipt of exercise proceeds and taxes due, if any, from the grantee.
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating fair value of stock compensation for options awarded to officers and employees. Each grant is evaluated based upon assumptions at the time of grant. The assumptions were no dividend yield, expected volatility between 29% and 41%, risk-free interest rate of 1.0% to 2.9% and expected life of 3.0 to 7.0 years.
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company does not pay cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated based on the Company’s historical experience over a period equivalent to the expected life in years. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury constant maturity interest rate at the date of grant with a term consistent with the expected life of the options granted. The expected life calculation is based on the observed and expected time to exercise options by the employees.
In January 2021, 8,896 shares of restricted stock were granted to employees that will vest over the next four years. In January 2021, 18,882 shares of restricted stock were granted to employees as part of a long-term incentive plan that will vest over the next five years. In March 2020, 20,520 shares of restricted stock were granted to employees as part of a long-term incentive plan that will vest over the next five years. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 397,747 at September 30, 2021. In March 2021 and March 2020, 1,098 and 11,448 shares of stock, respectively, were granted to employees rather than stock options as in prior years.
The Company recorded the followingStock Compensation Expense in its consolidated statements of income (in thousands):
A Summary of changes in outstanding optionsis presented below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
Vested during nine months ended
September 30, 2021
The aggregate intrinsic value of exercisable in-the-money options was $1,761,000 and the aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding in-the-money options was $1,884,000 based on the market closing price of $55.92 on September 30, 2021 less exercise prices.
The unrecognized compensation cost of options granted to FRP employees but not yet vested as of September 30, 2021 was $146,000, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.
Gains of $602,000 were realized by option holders during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
A Summary of changes in restricted stock awards is presented below (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):
Total compensation cost of restricted stock granted but not yet vested as of September 30, 2021 was $1,515,000 which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of3.6 years.
(8) Contingent Liabilities.
The Company may be involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims which arise in the normal course of business. The Company has retained certain self-insurance risks with respect to losses for third party liability and property damage. In the opinion of management, none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that previous environmental studies with respect to its properties have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the properties will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.
As of September 30, 2021, there was $506,000outstanding under letters of credit. The letters of credit were issued to guarantee certain obligations to state agencies related to real estate development.
(9) Concentrations.
The mining royalty lands segment has a total of five tenants currently leasing mining locations and one lessee that accounted for 23.8% of the Company’s consolidated revenues during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and $294,000 of accounts receivable at September 30, 2021. The termination of these lessees’ underlying leases could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with Wells Fargo Bank and First Horizon Bank. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits.
(10) Fair Value Measurements.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 means the use of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 means the use of values that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 means the use of inputs are those that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
At September 30, 2021, the Company was invested in two corporate bonds with maturities in January 2022. The unrealized gain on these bonds of $16,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The amortized cost of the investments was $4,299,000 and the carrying amount and fair value of such bonds were $4,315,000 as of September 30, 2021.
At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit approximate their fair value based upon the short-term nature of these items.
The fair values of the Company’s other mortgage notes payable were estimated based on current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. At September 30, 2021, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $178,371,000 and $173,634,000, respectively. At September 30, 2020, the carrying amount and fair value of such other long-term debt was $89,027,000 and $95,138,000, respectively.
(11) Investments in Joint Ventures.
The Company has investments in joint ventures, primarily with other real estate developers. Joint ventures where FRP is not the primary beneficiary are reflected in the line “Investment in joint ventures” on the balance sheet and “Equity in loss of joint ventures” on the income statement. The assets of these joint ventures are restricted to use by the joint ventures and their obligations can only be settled by their assets or additional contributions by the partners.

(12) Consolidation of Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC. Riverfront Holdings II, LLC.
On May 4, 2018, the Company and MRP Realty formed a Joint Venture to develop the second phase only of the four phase master development known as Riverfront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the Joint Venture is to develop and own a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use development which supports 264 residential units and 6,937 square feet of retail. The Company contributed land with an agreed to value of $16,300,000 (cost basis of $4.6 million) and $6.2 million of cash to the Joint Venture for an 80% stake in the venture. MRP contributed capital of $5.6 million to the joint venture including development costs paid prior to formation of the joint venture and a $725,000 development fee. The Company further agreed to fund $13.75 million preferred equity financing at 7.5% interest rate all of which was advanced and repaid with interest in March 2021. The Company’s equity interest in the joint venture was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting as MRP acts as the administrative agent of the
joint venture and oversees and controls the day-to-day operations of the project.
In March 2021, Phase II (The Maren) reached stabilization. Stabilization in this case means 90% of the individual apartments have been leased and are occupied by third party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion election”.
Reaching stabilization results in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, beginning March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at fair value), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. This consolidation resulted in a gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership of $51,139,000 of which $13,965,000 was attributed to the noncontrolling interest. In accordance with the terms of the Joint Venture agreements, the Company used the fair value amount at date of conversion and calculated an adjusted ownership under the Conversion election. As such for financial reporting purposes effective March 31, 2021, the Company ownership is based upon this substantive profit sharing arrangement and is 70.41% on a prospective basis as agreed to by FRP and MRP.
Maren consolidation at stabilization
(13) Subsequent Event.
On October 8, 2021, the Company entered into a loan agreement with a Baltimore developer to be the principal capital source of a residential development venture in Harford County, Maryland to be known as “Aberdeen Station.” We have committed up to $31.1 million in exchange for an interest rate of 10% plus a portion of the sales proceeds based upon the project IRR. This project will hold 344 residential lots. We are currently pursuing entitlements and the loan agreements anticipates taking the development to record plat in two phases potentially through June 30, 2026.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 and with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K. The statements in this discussion regarding industry outlook, our expectations regarding our future performance, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements in this discussion are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risks and uncertainties described in “Forward-Looking Statements” below and “Risk Factors” on page 5 of our annual report on Form 10-K. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision to any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, unless required by law.
The following discussion includes a non-GAAP financial measure within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission to supplement the financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measure discussed is net operating income (NOI). The Company uses this metric to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measure” below in this quarterly report for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
Business Overview - FRP Holdings, Inc. is a real estate development, asset management and operating company businesses. Our properties are located in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States and consist of:
Lands leased to mining companies, some of which will have second lives as development properties;
Residential apartments in Washington, D.C.;
Warehouse or office properties in the Mid-Atlantic states either existing or under development;
Mixed use properties under development in Washington, D.C. or Greenville, South Carolina; and
Properties held for sale.
We believe our present capital structure, liquidity and land provide us with years of opportunities to increase recurring revenue and long-term value for our shareholders. We intend to focus on our core business activity of real estate development, asset management and operations. We are developing a broad range of asset types that we believe will provide acceptable rates of return, grow recurring revenues and support future business. Capital commitments will be funded with cash proceeds from completed projects, existing cash, owned-land, partner capital and financing arrangements. We do not anticipate immediate benefits from investments. Timing of projects may be subject to delays caused by factors beyond our control.
Reportable Segments
We conduct primarily all of our business in the following four reportable segments: (1) asset management (2) mining royalty lands (3) development and (4) stabilized joint ventures. For more information regarding our reportable segments, see Note 3. Business Segments of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report.
Asset Management Segment.
The Asset Management segment owns, leases and manages commercial properties. These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, lease management fees and reimbursements for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for operating expenses, real estate taxes, building repairs, lease commissions and other lease closing costs, construction of tenant improvements, capital to acquire existing operating buildings and closing costs related thereto and personnel costs of our property management team.
As of September 30, 2021, the Asset Management Segment owned three commercial properties in fee simple as follows:
1) 34 Loveton Circle in suburban Baltimore County, Maryland consists of one office building totaling 33,708 square feet which is 95.1% occupied (16% of the space is occupied by the Company for use as our Baltimore headquarters). The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.
2) 155 E. 21st Street in Duval County, Florida was an office building property that remains under lease through March 2026. We permitted the tenant to demolish all structures on the property during 2018.
3) Cranberry Run Business Park in Hartford County, Maryland consists of five office buildings totaling 267,737 square feet which are 68.6% occupied and 96.6% leased. The property is subject to commercial leases with various tenants.
Management focuses on several factors to measure our success on a comparative basis in this segment. The major factors we focus on are (1) net operating income growth, (2) growth in occupancy, (3) average annual occupancy rate (defined as the occupied square feet at the end of each month during a fiscal year divided by the number of months to date in that fiscal year as a percentage of the average number of square feet in the portfolio over that same time period), (4) tenant retention success rate (as a percentage of total square feet to be renewed), (5) building and refurbishing assets to meet Class A and Class B institutional grade classifications, and (6) reducing complexities and deferred capital expenditures to maximize sale price.
Mining Royalty Lands Segment.
Our Mining Royalty Lands segment owns several properties comprising approximately 15,000 acres currently under lease for mining rents or royalties (excluding the 4,280 acres owned by our Brooksville joint venture with Vulcan Materials). Other than one location in Virginia, all of these properties are located in Florida and Georgia. The typical lease in this segment requires the tenant to pay us a royalty based on the number of tons of mined materials sold from our property during a given fiscal year multiplied by a percentage of the average annual sales price per ton sold. As a result of this royalty payment structure, we do not bear the cost risks associated with the mining operations, however, we are subject to the cyclical nature of the construction markets in these states as both volumes and prices tend to fluctuate through those cycles. In certain locations, typically where the reserves on our property have been depleted but the tenant still has a need for the leased land, we collect a minimum annual rental amount. We believe strongly in the potential for future growth in construction in Florida, Georgia, and Virginia which would positively benefit our profitability in this segment. Our mining properties had estimated remaining reserves of 506 million tons as of December 31, 2020, after a total of 8.5 million tons were consumed in 2020.
The major expenses in this segment are comprised of collection and accounting for royalties, management’s oversight of the mining leases, land entitlement for post-mining uses and property taxes at our non-leased locations and at our Grandin location which, unlike our other leased mining locations, are not entirely paid by the tenant. As such, our costs in this business are very low as a percentage of revenue, are relatively stable and are not affected by increases in production at our locations. Our current mining tenants include Vulcan Materials, Martin Marietta, Cemex, Argos and The Concrete Company.
Additionally, these locations provide us with opportunities for valuable “second lives” for these assets through proper land planning and entitlement.
Significant “2nd life” Mining Lands:
Development Segment.
Through our Development segment, we own and are continuously monitoring for their “highest and best use” several parcels of land that are in various stages of development. Our overall strategy in this segment is to convert all our non-income producing lands into income production through (i) an orderly process of constructing new commercial and residential buildings for us to own and operate or (ii) a sale to, or joint venture with, third parties. Additionally, our Development segment will purchase or form joint ventures on new developments of land not previously owned by the Company.
Revenues in this segment are generated predominately from land sales and interim property rents. The significant cash outlays incurred in this segment are for land acquisition costs, entitlement costs, property taxes, design and permitting, the personnel costs of our in-house management team and horizontal and vertical construction costs.
Development Segment – Warehouse/Office Land.
At September 30, 2021, this segment owned the following development parcels:
We also have three properties that were either spun-off to us from Florida Rock Industries in 1986 or acquired by us from unrelated third parties. These properties, as a result of our “highest and best use” studies, are being prepared for income generation through sale or joint venture with third parties, and in certain cases we are leasing these properties on an interim basis for an income stream while we wait for the development market to mature.

Stabilized Joint Venture Segment.
Currently the segment includes three stabilized joint ventures which own, lease and manage buildings. These assets create revenue and cash flows through tenant rental payments, and reimbursements for building operating costs. The major cash outlays incurred in this segment are for property taxes, full service maintenance, property management, utilities and marketing. The three stabilized joint venture properties are as follows:
Dock 79 apartments Washington, D.C.

Third Quarter Operational Highlights
Comparative Results of Operations for the Three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
Consolidated Results
Net income attributable to the Company for the third quarter of 2021 was $352,000 or $.04 per share versus $5,455,000 or $.57 per share in the same period last year. The third quarter of 2021 was impacted by the following items:
Asset Management Segment Results
Total revenues in this segment were $619,000, down $102,000 or 14.1%, over the same period last year due to the sale of our warehouse 1801 62nd Street in July 2020 which had $59,000 of revenues in the same quarter last year. Operating loss was $(11,000), down $46,000 from an operating profit of $35,000 in the same quarter last year primarily due to the sale of 1801 62nd Street. Cranberry Run, which we purchased in the first quarter of 2019, is a five-building industrial park in Harford County, Maryland totaling 267,737 square feet of industrial/ flex space and at quarter end was 96.6% leased and 68.6% occupied compared to 78.6% leased and occupied at the end of the same quarter last year. Our other two properties remain substantially leased during both periods, with 34 Loveton 95.1% occupied and Vulcan’s former Jacksonville office (now a vacant lot), fully leased through March 2026.
Mining Royalty Lands Segment Results
Total revenues in this segment were $2,249,000 versus $2,507,000 in the same period last year. Total operating profit in this segment was $1,968,000, a decrease of $270,000 versus $2,238,000 in the same period last year. This decrease is a result of Vulcan temporarily shifting operations off of our land in Manassas this quarter as part of their mining plan.
Development Segment Results
With respect to developments in the quarter on ongoing projects:
Stabilized Joint Venture Segment Results
In March 2021, we reached stabilization on Phase II (The Maren) of the development known as RiverFront on the Anacostia in Washington, D.C., a 250,000-square-foot mixed-use development which supports 264 residential units and 6,937 square feet of retail developed by a joint venture between the Company and MRP. Stabilization in this case means 90% of the individual apartments had been leased and occupied by third party tenants. Upon reaching stabilization, the Company has, for a period of one year, the exclusive right to (i) cause the joint venture to sell the property or (ii) cause the Company’s and MRP’s percentage interests in the joint venture to be adjusted so as to take into account the contractual payouts assuming a sale at the value of the development at the time of this “Conversion Election”. Reaching stabilization resulted in a change of control for accounting purposes as the veto rights of the minority shareholder lapsed and the Company became the primary beneficiary. As such, as of March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at current fair value based on appraisal), liabilities and operating results of the joint venture. Up through the first quarter of this year, accounting for The Maren was reflected in Equity in loss of joint ventures on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Starting April 1, 2021, all the revenue and expenses are accounted for in the same manner as Dock 79 in the stabilized joint venture segment.
Total revenues in this segment were $5,204,000, an increase of $2,624,000 versus $2,580,000 in the same period last year. The Maren’s revenue was $2,428,000 and Dock 79 revenues increased $196,000. Total operating loss in this segment was $(495,000), a decrease of $843,000 versus a profit of $348,000 in the same period last year. The quarter includes $1,373,000 amortization expense of the $4,750,000 fair value of The Maren’s leases-in-place established when we booked this asset as part of the gain on remeasurement upon consolidation of this Joint Venture. Net Operating Income this quarter for this segment was $3,113,000, up $1,479,000 or 90.51% compared to the same quarter last year due to The Maren’s consolidation into this segment.
At the end of September, The Maren was 93.56% leased and 95.45% occupied. Average residential occupancy for the quarter was 95.92%, and 71.91% of expiring leases renewed with no increase in rent due to the mandated rent freeze on renewals in DC. The Maren is a joint venture between the Company and MRP, in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with 70.41% ownership.
Dock 79’s average residential occupancy for the quarter was 95.94%, and at the end of the quarter, Dock 79’s residential units were 93.11% leased and 94.75% occupied. This quarter, 57.75% of expiring leases renewed with no increase in rent due to the mandated rent freeze on renewals in DC. Dock 79 is a joint venture between the Company and MRP, in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with 66% ownership.
Third quarter distributions from our CS1031 Hickory Creek DST investment were $86,000.
Nine Months Operational Highlights
Comparative Results of Operations for the Nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020
Gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate
partnership
Net income attributable to the Company for the first nine months of 2021 was $28,807,000 or $3.07 per share versus $11,222,000 or $1.16 per share in the same period last year. The first nine months of 2021 was impacted by the following items:
Total revenues in this segment were $1,919,000, down $170,000 or 8.1%, over the same period last year due to the sale of our warehouse 1801 62nd Street in July 2020 which had $423,000 of revenues in the same period last year. Operating loss was ($154,000), down $116,000 from an operating loss of ($38,000) in the same period last year primarily due to the sale of 1801 62nd Street.
Total revenues in this segment were $7,198,000 versus $7,094,000 in the same period last year. Total operating profit in this segment was $6,273,000, an increase of $21,000 versus $6,252,000 in the same period last year.
Total revenues in this segment were $12,535,000, an increase of $4,850,000 versus $7,685,000 in the same period last year. The Maren’s revenue was $4,591,000 and Dock 79 revenues increased $260,000. Total operating loss in this segment was ($1,636,000), a decrease of $2,847,000 versus a profit of $1,211,000 in the same period last year. The period includes $3,241,000 amortization expense of the $4,750,000 fair value of The Maren’s leases-in-place established when we booked this asset as part of the gain on remeasurement upon consolidation of this Joint Venture. Net Operating Income for this segment was $7,684,000, up $2,584,000 or 50.67% compared to the same period last year due to The Maren’s consolidation into this segment.
Since The Maren achieved stabilization on the last day of March, average residential occupancy is 94.86% and 68.15% of expiring leases have renewed with no increase in rent due to the mandated rent freeze on renewals in DC. The Maren is a joint venture between the Company and MRP, in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with 70.41% ownership.
Dock 79’s average residential occupancy for the first nine months of 2021 was 95.43%. Through the first nine months of the year, 59.33% of expiring leases renewed with no increase in rent due to the mandated rent freeze on renewals in DC. Dock 79 is a joint venture between the Company and MRP, in which FRP Holdings, Inc. is the majority partner with 66% ownership.
In March, we completed a refinancing of Dock 79 as well as securing permanent financing for The Maren. This $180 million loan ($92 million for Dock 79, $88 million for The Maren) lowers the interest rate at Dock 79 from 4.125% to 3.03%, defers any principal payments for 12 years for both properties, and repays the $13.75 million in preferred equity along with $2.3 million in accrued interest.
Distributions from our CS1031 Hickory Creek DST investment were $257,000 for the first nine months of the year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. The growth of the Company’s businesses requires significant cash needs to acquire and develop land or operating buildings and to construct new buildings and tenant improvements. As of September 30, 2021, we had $163,383,000 of cash and cash equivalents along with $4,315,000 of investments available for sale. As of September 30, 2021, we had no debt borrowed under our $20 million Wells Fargo revolver, $506,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $19,494,000 available to borrow under the revolver. On March 19, 2021, the Company refinanced Dock 79 and The Maren projects pursuant to separate Loan Agreements and Deed of Trust Notes entered into with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, LLC. Dock 79 and The Maren borrowed principal sums of $92,070,000 and $88,000,000 respectively, in connection with the refinancing.
Cash Flows - The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for
each of the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):
Operating Activities - Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $16,400,000 versus $13,353,000 in the same period last year. The Gain on remeasurement of investment in real estate partnership and related deferred income taxes were both non-cash adjustments to net income to arrive at net cash provided by operating activities.
Investing Activities - Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $73,047,000 versus $22,729,000 in the same period last year. The $50 million increase was primarily due to a return of our preferred equity financing with interest of $16.1 million from The Maren, $24.6 million decrease in purchases of corporate bonds due to lack of attractive investment opportunities, a $12.6 million increase on maturities and sales of our corporate bond portfolio, and $3.7 million for cash on the books of The Maren upon consolidation.
At September 30, 2021, the Company was invested in two corporate bonds with maturities in January 2022. The unrealized gain on these bonds of $16,000 was recorded as part of comprehensive income and was based on the estimated market value by National Financial Services, LLC (“NFS”) obtained from sources that may include pricing vendors, broker/dealers who clear through NFS and/or other sources (Level 2). The Company recorded no realized gains or losses on bonds that matured or were sold in 2021.
Financing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities was $475,000 versus $16,400,000 in the same period last year due primarily due to the refinancing of Dock 79 for $1.4 million more net of debt issuance costs than the amount matured and $15.4 million lower repurchases of company stock.
Credit Facilities - 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”). 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 total debt to consolidated total capital. 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 and financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth and dividend restriction. As of September 30, 2021, these covenants would have limited our ability to pay dividends to a maximum of $228 million combined.
On March 19, 2021, the Company refinanced Dock 79 and The Maren projects pursuant to separate Loan Agreements and Deed of Trust Notes entered into with Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, LLC. Dock 79 and The Maren borrowed principal sums of $92,070,000 and $88,000,000 respectively, in connection with the refinancing. The loans are separately secured by the Dock 79 and The Maren real property and improvements, bear a fixed interest rate of 3.03% per annum, and require monthly payments of interest only with the principal in full due April 1, 2033. Either loan may be prepaid subsequent to April 1, 2024, subject to yield maintenance premiums. Either loan may be transferred to a qualified buyer as part of a one-time sale subject to a 60% loan to value, minimum of 7.5% debt yield and a 0.75% transfer fee. Effective March 31, 2021, the Company consolidated the assets (at current
fair value), liabilities and operating results of our Riverfront Investment Partners II, LLC partnership (The Maren) which was previously accounted for under the equity method. As such the full amount of our mortgage loan was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Cash Requirements – The Company currently expects its capital expenditures for the remainder of 2021 to include approximately $9.3 million for real estate including investments in joint ventures, which will be funded mostly out of cash and investments on hand, cash generated from operations and property sales, or borrowings under our credit facilities.
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is having an extraordinary impact on the world economy and the markets in which we operate. As an essential business, we have continued to operate throughout the pandemic in accordance with White House guidance and orders issued by state and local authorities. We have implemented social distancing and other measures to protect the health of our employees and customers. Our Dock 79 and The Maren properties in Washington, D.C. suffered the principal impacts to our business from the pandemic during 2020 due to our retail tenants being unable to operate at capacity, the lack of attendance at the Washington Nationals baseball park and the rent freeze imposed by the District. It is possible that some of these same conditions may impact our ability to lease retail spaces in Washington, D.C. and Greenville. We anticipate that these impacts will continue for at least the remainder of 2021.
Summary and Outlook. Although royalty revenue is down this quarter compared to the same quarter last year, royalty revenue for the first nine months was $7,198,000, an increase of 1.46% over the same period last year and the highest revenue total for the first nine months in the segment’s history. Revenue for the last twelve months was $9,581,000, an increase of 1.09% over calendar year 2020. This marks the third straight quarter where the last twelve months’ revenue exceeded $9.5 million.
For the fourth quarter in a row, Dock 79’s occupancy has been above 94% at quarter end. This is the very first time Dock 79 has ended the four straight quarters with an occupancy higher than 94%.
With The Maren’s stabilization at the end of March this year, we are now in our second reporting period with The Maren consolidated on to our books. Because of the increased depreciation and amortization attributable to the Company as a result of consolidating The Maren’s results into our income statement, the impact on net income may in fact be negative for some time, but the positive impact on our NOI and cash flow will be significant. The Maren was 93.56% leased and 95.45% occupied at quarter end, and its retail space is 100% leased with occupancy expected in the fourth quarter of this year once build out is complete. It has been over a year since the District put in place the “emergency” measures which have prevented us from raising rents on renewals. This has obviously mitigated our ability to grow NOI at Dock 79. With The Maren now going through its first generation of renewals, it too is feeling the effect of these emergency measures. It is our understanding that these measures are set to expire but not prior to the end of the year. Because renewal negotiations take place several weeks in advance, if the emergency measures expire at year end, we will not see any practical effect to rent increases until February 2022.
We remain pleased with the current direction of our asset management segment, particularly the industrial assets. The speed with which we leased up and then sold our building at 1801 62nd Street last year strengthened our commitment to industrial development. We have a build-to-suit and two spec buildings under construction at Hollander and those three buildings will complete any development at Hollander for the foreseeable future. Because of that, we have bolstered our land bank with the $10.5 million purchase of 55 acres in Aberdeen, Maryland as well as this quarter’s purchase of 17 acres in Harford County, Maryland. Once entitled, this property will be capable of supporting over 625,000 square feet of industrial product and will be essential for future industrial development as we finish developing our remaining inventory at Hollander Business Park.
At the end of September, we held our very first Investor Day. We hope it was the first of many and the last one we hold virtually. The event afforded us an opportunity to take stock of where we are now and where we are headed. The first nine months have seen the stabilization, consolidation, and permanent financing of The Maren; the refinancing of Dock 79; leasing begin at Bryant St and Riverside in Greenville; a build-to-suit opportunity at Hollander as well as the
mining royalties’ highest nine-month revenue performance. That is a lot to take stock of in a short period of time, but we are more excited about where we are headed. In the not-so-distant future, we will finish construction and start leasing Half Street and .408 Jackson; we will finish construction on three warehouses and begin work on allowing our landbank to accommodate our next generation of industrial development; and hopefully, we will not only see the passage but the practical effects of an infrastructure bill on our mining royalties income. We mentioned this at the Investor Day, but, assuming all goes according to plan, it is our belief that over the next few years, we will put all of our cash to use in new projects. We will continue to be opportunistic in repurchasing stock. During 2021, the Company repurchased 6,004 shares at an average cost of $43.95 per share.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure.
To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, FRP presents certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measure included in this quarterly report is net operating income (NOI). FRP uses this non-GAAP financial measure to analyze its operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. This measure is not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP financial measures.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Interest Rate Risk - We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes through our variable-rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo.
Under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for borrowings at September 30, 2021 was Daily 1-Month LIBOR plus 1.0%. The applicable margin for such borrowings will be increased in the event that our debt to capitalization ratio as calculated under the Wells Fargo Credit Agreement Facility exceeds a target level.
The Company did not have any variable rate debt at September 30, 2021, so a sensitivity analysis was not performed to determine the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
CONCLUSION REGARDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company also maintains a system of internal accounting controls over financial reporting that are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
All control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the CEO, CFO and CAO, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s CEO, CFO and CAO concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them in a timely manner to material information required to be included in periodic SEC filings.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that
we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
