The Company’s objectives are continue building a substantial transportation company providing sound long-term growth, cash generation and asset appreciation.

Fiscal 2016 was a tough year, but one in which we made significant progress. We worked with our customers to create and implement a new fuel surcharge that neutralizes the negative margin impacts we had been experiencing in this lower priced diesel fuel environment. As a result of better freight pricing in the market and more efficient utilization of our equipment we were able to grow our per mile transportation revenue by 4.7% over last year. During the year, we received $1,687,000 as the result of a settlement agreement with BP Exploration and Production, Inc. for damages arising out of the Deepwater Horizon event and sold an easement to the state of Florida at our terminal facility in Tampa, Florida for $1,330,000. We also purchased the equipment of two different private fleets, one in Florida and the other in North Carolina. The Florida acquisition included 8 trailers, assuming the leases on 7 tractors and hiring 16 drivers while contracting to haul 73 locally owned convenience stores. In North Carolina we purchased 4 tractors and hired 6 drivers as one of our largest customers acquired a chain of C-stores and asked us to take on the seller’s private fleet. All of these factors contributed to the Company reporting net income per share of $1.74 versus $1.02 last year. We ended the year with no debt, a cash balance of $6,005,000 and grew our shareholders’ equity by $6,744,000, to $43,946,000, an 18% increase over last year. We continue to face challenges hiring and retaining qualified drivers to safely perform a very difficult job for our customers. As a result, our compensation and benefits cost were up and our safety performance came up short of our expectations as new hires tended to have higher incident frequency rates. This year, we will be exploring the roll out of additional programs to attract, train and retain more quality drivers, including a driver mentor program. In 2017, our industry will be impacted by federally mandated electronic log requirements for all drivers. Our Company has been electronic log compliant for many years and this new requirement will have no negative impact on our drivers or how we run our business. However, not all of our competitors can say the same and these competitors may see significant negative impacts as a result of these new regulations. 2 Our industry is also facing increasing costs associated with risk insurance as some large insurance underwriters have recently left the space completely. While this may challenge us going forward, we believe that our size, strong financial condition, and positive safety experience provide us an opportunity to distinguish ourselves from our competition. Our company has an historical culture of “safety first”. I want to take this opportunity to mention two bright spots in the safety department, both senior drivers with the Company, Mr. James “Orik” Daniels and Mr. William “Butch” White. Orik Daniels was recognized earlier this year by the National Tank Truck Carriers’ Association as being one of the eight “champion” drivers for 2015 in the tank truck industry and Butch White was recognized this year by the Florida Trucking Association as its Driver of the Year. Customer service and satisfaction are the keys to succeeding in this business. It takes a dedicated team in the field to consistently deliver on our promise of “safely delivering our customer’s products on-time and accurately”, in particular, during times of crises. In the latter part of the fourth quarter, many of our markets experienced the impacts of the Colonial gas pipeline rupture in Alabama. This event put a tremendous strain on our customers and, in turn, on our employees. It required significant flexibility in the field to service our customers’ demands on a daily basis. Following our performance during this crisis, we received several acknowledgements from customers expressing their appreciation for the efforts our employees put forth and the successes we achieved together. It is moments like these that we feel set us apart in the industry and keep our customer partnerships strong over the course of many years. Our primary goal for our shareholders is to grow profitably while maintaining a strong balance sheet and double digit returns on capital employed and we achieved this goal on all fronts. The major headwinds to our improvement and growth are the rising cost of insurance and the difficulty associated with hiring, training and retaining drivers in today’s environment. Our strategy going forward is to concentrate our growth efforts in the markets where we have been successful finding and retaining quality drivers. We will also focus our efforts on improving our technology to enhance both our driver’s To Our Shareholders Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. and our customer’s experience while also working to lower our costs by streamlining and automating many of our day-to-day processes. With these focuses in mind, we are optimistic we will achieve our targeted levels of revenue and bottom line results in fiscal 2017. As always, we do not take your continuing investment in our Company lightly and we want to thank you, our loyal shareholders, for your continued interest and support. Respectively yours, Edward L. Baker Chairman Emeritus Thompson S. Baker II Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer 3 Our Business Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. On January 30, 2015, FRP Holdings, Inc. ("FRP") completed the tax-free spin-off (the “Spin-off") of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc., (the "Company" or "Patriot"). In the Spin-off, FRP distributed all of the outstanding stock of the Company to FRP's shareholders as of the record date of January 9, 2015. FRP’s shareholders received one share of Patriot (stock symbol “PATI”) for every three shares of FRP owned on the record date resulting in 3,242,524 of Patriot shares outstanding on the distribution date. Patriot now is an independent, publicly traded company, and FRP retains no ownership in Patriot. Patriot was incorporated on August 5, 2014 in connection with a corporate reorganization that preceded the Spin- off. The business of the Company is conducted through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc. (“Tank Lines”), the same subsidiary through which FRP operated the transportation business prior to the Spin-off. Our business consists of hauling petroleum related products, dry bulk commodities and liquid chemicals. We are one of the largest regional tank truck carriers in North America. According to the Tank Truck Carrier 2015 Gross Revenue Report issued by Bulk Transporter, we are the 15th largest bulk tank carrier in North America by revenue. We operate terminals in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. We do not own any of the products we haul; rather, we act as a third party carrier to deliver our customers’ products from point A to point B, using predominately Company employees and Company- owned tractors and tank trailers. Approximately 82% of our business consists of hauling liquid petroleum products (mostly gas and diesel fuel) from large scale fuel storage facilities to our customers’ retail outlets (e.g. convenience stores, truck stops and fuel depots) where we off-load the product into our customer’s fuel storage tanks for ultimate sale to the retail consumer. The remaining 18% of our business consists of hauling our customers’ dry bulk commodities such as cement, lime and various industrial powder products and liquid chemicals. As of September 30, 2016, we employed 689 revenue-producing drivers who operated our fleet of 468 tractors and 561 trailers from our 21 terminals and 9 satellite locations. retail locations such as hypermarkets, convenience stores and truck stops. We also provide the last mile of delivery service in the liquid chemical and dry bulk business primarily facilities or manufacturing facilities to the end user. Cement and ash are delivered to concrete plants, powdered lime to industrial users and liquid chemicals primarily to the end user at a manufacturing plant or water treatment or storage facility. from distribution During fiscal 2016, the Company purchased 78 new tractors and 24 trailers. Our fiscal 2017 capital budget includes 67 new tractors plus we had 7 tractors ordered in fiscal 2016 that were delivered shortly after September 30,2016. We anticipate this more modern fleet will result in reduced maintenance expenses, improved operating efficiencies and enhanced driver recruitment and retention. At September 30, 2016 the Company operated a fleet of 468 tractors and 561 tank trailers, 9 trucks that were being prepared for sale and 23 trucks that were being placed in service. The Company owns all of the tank trailers and tractors used to conduct our business, except for 4 tractors owned by owner-operators and 32 leased tractors that were acquired from Pipeline Transportation, Inc. in November, 2013 and Petroleum Transport Corporation acquired in April 2016. Approximately 82% of our business consists of hauling petroleum related products. Our petroleum clients include major convenience store and hypermarket accounts, fuel wholesalers and major oil companies. We strive to build long-term relationships with major customers by providing outstanding customer service. During fiscal 2016, the Company’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 58.9% of revenue. One of these customers, Murphy USA, accounted for 22.0% of revenue. The loss of any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and income. Our transportation services agreements with our customers generally are terminable upon 90-120 days’ notice, but nine of our top 10 accounts have been customers for at least 10 years. Our dry bulk and chemical customers industrial companies including cement and concrete accounts and product distribution customer relationships are long-standing and have grown over time as a result of consistently high safety and service levels. companies. Our include large We are an important link in our customers’ fuel supply chain, transporting primarily from petroleum terminals to Financial information about the company is presented in the financial statements included in this Annual Report. 4 Five Year Summary - Years ended September 30 Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Executive Overview. The business of the Company, conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc., is to transport petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities. We do not own any of the products we haul, rather, we act as a third party carrier to deliver our customer’s products from point A to point B predominately using Company employees driving Company owned tractors and tank trailers. Approximately 82% of our business consists of hauling liquid petroleum products (mostly gas and diesel fuel) from large scale fuel storage facilities to our customers’ retail outlets (e.g. convenience stores, truck stops and fuel depots) where we off-load the product into our customer’s fuel storage tanks for ultimate sale to the retail consumer. The remaining 18% of our business consists of hauling our customer’s dry bulk commodities such as cement, lime and various industrial powder products and liquid chemicals. As of September 30, 2016, we employed 689 revenue-producing drivers who operated our fleet of 468 tractors and 561 trailers from our 21 terminals and 9 satellite locations in Florida, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. We experience increased seasonal demand in Florida during the spring and in most of our other locations during the summer months. Our industry is characterized by such barriers to entry as the time and cost required to develop the capabilities necessary to handle hazardous material, the resources required to recruit, train and retain drivers, substantial industry regulatory and insurance requirements and the significant capital investments required to build a fleet of equipment,establish a network of terminals and, in recent years, the cost to build and maintain sufficient information technology resources to allow us to interface with and assist their in our customers product inventories. the day-to-day management of Our ability to provide superior customer service at competitive rates and to operate safely and efficiently is important to our success in growing our revenues and increasing profitability. Our focus is to grow our profitability by executing on our key strategies of (i) increasing our business with existing and new customers, particularly hypermarket and large convenience store chains, that are willing to compensate us for our ability to provide superior, safe and reliable service which facilitates their ability to grow their market share and footprint with confidence, (ii) expanding our service offerings with respect to dry bulk and chemical products particularly in markets where we already operate terminals, (iii) earning the reputation as the preferred employer for tank truck drivers in all the markets in which we operate and (iv) pursuing strategic acquisitions. Our ability to execute this strategy depends on continuing our dedicated commitments to customer service and safety and continuing to recruit and retain qualified drivers. Our industry is experiencing a severe driver shortage. As the need to hire drivers has risen across our industry the trend we are seeing is that more and more of the applicants are drivers with little to no experience in the tank truck business. Our management team is keenly focused on continuing to grow our driver count in markets where there are opportunities for us to grow our business and to retain all of our drivers at the levels we have historically achieved while balancing the aforementioned trends and associated risks of the “new to the industry” driver applicant pool. Through the implementation of a new software program, we have 6 enhanced our ability to quickly identify, communicate with and ultimately hire qualified drivers. We have also implemented programs to help us determine which new driver applicants are less likely to turnover early on in their careers with us thus adding new and valuable information into our hiring decision making process. There are several opportunities available today in our markets that will allow us to execute on our growth strategy so long as we can find, hire and retain qualified drivers to meet the demands of these opportunities. We believe the tighter driver market has and will continue to provide us with opportunities to capture new business and continue to improve upon our rate structure across the customer base. As these opportunities arise, we are willing to let certain lower priced business go in this environment to grow our business with customers willing to pay for our reliability and superior customer service. We generate both transportation based revenue as well as fuel surcharge revenue. Our transportation revenue consists of base revenue for each delivery which is generally calculated by multiplying a negotiated mileage-based rate by the quantity of product delivered plus any fees for extra stops to load or unload, powered product unloading and toll cost reimbursements. These for negotiated transporting loading and unloading time. transportation rates compensate us both the products as well as for While our base rates include a fixed amount to cover our cost of fuel using an assumed price for diesel, we have fuel surcharges in place with our customers that allow us to obtain additional compensation for fuel expense incurred when the price of diesel rises above that assumed price. Likewise, for some customers, the fuel surcharge system allows the customer to receive a lower cost from us when the price of diesel drops below that assumed price. There is a time lag between fuel price fluctuations and changes to fuel surcharges to our customers. In a rapidly rising price environment this time lag can negatively impact the Company’s financial results as we must pay the higher fuel cost immediately but in most cases aren’t able to adjust fuel surcharges to our customers until the end of the month. The main factors that affect our total revenue are the number of revenue miles driven, rates per mile, quantity of products hauled and the amount of fuel surcharges. Our operating costs primarily consist of the following: • Compensation and Benefits - Wages and employee benefits for our drivers and terminal support personnel is the largest component of our operating costs. These costs are impacted by such factors as miles driven, driver pay increases, driver turnover and training costs and additional driver pay due to temporary out- of-town deployments to serve new business; • Fuel Expenses - Our fuel expenses will vary depending on miles driven as well as such factors as fuel prices (which can be highly volatile), the fuel efficiency of our fleet and the average haul length; • Repairs and Tires – This category consists of vehicle maintenance and repairs (excluding shop personnel) and tire expense (including amortization of tire cost and road repairs). These expenses will vary based on such factors as miles driven, the age of our fleet, and tire prices; Management Analysis Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. • Other Operating Expenses – This category consists of tolls, hiring costs, out-of-town driver travel cost, terminal facility maintenance and other operating expenses. These expenses will vary based on such factors as, driver availability and out-of-town driver travel requirements, business growth and inflation among others; • Insurance and Losses - This includes costs associated with insurance premiums, and the self-insured portion of liability, worker’s compensation, health insurance and cargo claims and wreck repairs. We work very hard to manage these expenses through our safety and wellness programs, but these expenses will vary depending on the frequency and severity of accident and health claims, insurance markets and deductible levels; • Depreciation Expense – Depreciation expense consists of the depreciation of the cost of fixed assets such as tractors and trailers over the life assigned to those assets. The amount of depreciation expense is impacted by equipment prices and the timing of new equipment purchases. We expect the cost of new tractors and trailers to continue to increase, impacting our future depreciation expense; • Rents, Tags and Utilities Expenses – This category consists of rents payable on leased facilities and leased equipment, federal highway use taxes, vehicle registrations, license and permit fees and personal property taxes assessed against our equipment, communications, utilities and real estate taxes; • Sales, General and Administrative Expenses – This category consists of the wages, bonus accruals, benefits, travel, vehicle and office costs for our administrative personnel as well as professional fees and amortization charges for intangible assets purchased in acquisitions of other businesses; • Corporate Expenses - Corporate expenses consist of wages, bonus accruals, insurance and other benefits, travel, vehicle and office costs for corporate executives, director fees, stock option expense and aircraft expense; • Gains/Loss on Equipment - Our financial results for any period may be impacted by any gain or loss that we realize on the sale of used equipment and losses on wrecked equipment. We periodically sell used equipment as we replace older tractors and trailers. Gains or losses on equipment sales can vary significantly from period to period depending on the timing of our equipment replacement cycle, market prices for used equipment and losses on wrecked equipment. The following discussion includes certain non-GAAP financial measures (“adjusted”) within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Regulation G”) to supplement the financial results as reported in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures discussed below include adjusted net income, adjusted operating profit and adjusted operating ratio. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the $1,277,000 gain on easement sale included in the fourth quarter 2016 and the $2,074,000 intangible asset impairment charge incurred in second quarter 2015. Patriot uses these metrics to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP financial measures. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below in this annual report for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of these non- GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Management believes these adjusted measures better reflect our operating performance during the periods discussed and reflect how management evaluates our operational results. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP reporting measures. To measure our performance, management focuses primarily on transportation revenue growth, revenue miles, our preventable accident frequency rate (“PAFR”), our operating ratio (defined as our operating expenses as a percentage of our operating revenue), turnover rate and average driver count (defined as average number of revenue producing drivers under employment over the specified time period) as compared to the same period in the prior year. ITEM Total Revenue Transportation Revenue Revenue Miles Fuel net of surcharges PAFR Adjusted Operating Ratio Driver Turnover Rate Average Number of Drivers Up 3.8% FY 2016 vs. FY 2015 Down 2.2% Up 3.9% Down by 0.8% Up 21.5% Up 22.9% Down by 0.8% Down by 13% The Company’s operations are influenced by a number of external and internal factors. External factors include levels of economic and industrial activity in the United States and the Southeast, driver availability and cost, government regulations regarding driver qualifications and limitations on the hours drivers can work, petroleum product demand in the Southeast which is driven in part by tourism and commercial aviation, and fuel costs. Internal factors include revenue mix, equipment utilization, Company imposed restrictions on hiring drivers under the age of 25 or drivers without at least two years of driving experience, auto and workers’ compensation accident frequencies and severity, administrative costs, and group health claims experience. Highlights of Fiscal 2016 • Transportation revenue increased $4,298,000, or 3.9%. • Annualized driver turnover rate declined from 75% last year to 62% this year. • Fuel cost net of surcharges increased $1,870,000. • The Company successfully completed negotiations and entered into a settlement agreement with BP Exploration and Production, Inc. resulting in other income of $1,687,000 as compensation for damages arising out of the Deepwater Horizon event that occurred in 2010. • The Company received $1,330,000 for an easement granted to the state of Florida over the Company's 25.2 acre terminal facility in Tampa, Florida resulting in a $1,277,000 gain. The easement prohibits residential development on the site and prohibits hotel development on a portion of the site. • The Company reported net income of $5,705,000, or $1.74 per 7 Management Analysis Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. share compared to net income of $3,339,000 of $1.02 per share, in 2015. The current year income includes (i) $779,000, or $.24 per share, of net income from the $1,277,000 gain on the sale of the Tampa easement and (ii) $1,029,000, or $0.31 per share, of net income from the settlement of a claim with BP for $1,687,000 in connection with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon event. The prior year included a $2,074,000 intangible asset impairment charge with an after tax negative impact to net income of $1,265,000 or $0.39 per share, related to the Pipeline Transportation acquisition.

Transportation revenues (excluding fuel surcharges) were up $4,298,000 to $115,592,000 and fuel surcharge revenues were down $7,008,000 to $4,580,000. Our transportation revenue per mile increased by 4.7% over last year. Compensation and benefits costs were up $2,019,000 (or $.05 per mile) versus last year due mainly to driver pay enhancements as we continue to invest in hiring and retaining our driver force. The Company’s gross cost of fuel was down $5,138,000 over last year which was not enough to off-set the $7,008,000 reduction in fuel surcharge revenues resulting in a negative margin impact of $1,870,000 (or $.04 per mile) this year versus last year. The Company’s gross price of diesel fuel remained low and in a fairly tight range throughout the fiscal year with the second quarter having the lowest average cost per mile at $.31 and the fourth quarter having the highest average cost per mile at $.35. Since the price of diesel began declining in late 2014, the Company has experienced margin erosion as the decline in fuel surcharge revenue outpaced the decline in diesel fuel cost. During the first half of this year we were able to implement positive adjustments to the fuel surcharge tables with many of our customers and those adjustments contributed significantly to a positive trend of less margin erosion resulting from the lower diesel fuel price (negative margin impact: Q1 - $883,000 (or $.09 per mile), Q2 - $719,000 (or $.07 per mile), Q3 - $251,000 (or $.02 per mile), Q4 - $17,000 (or $.002)). SG&A was up $438,000 as we have hired more management personnel to focus on the issues of driver hiring and turnover and to support our safety performance. Corporate expense was lower by $257,000 compared to last year due mainly to the sale of a 75% interest in the corporate airplane during the second quarter of fiscal 2016. Gain on equipment sales were $840,000 lower compared to last year primarily to fewer trailers sold and lower average value of tractors sold. Gain on property sales were $1,277,000 higher as a result of the sale of the easement in the fourth quarter. Operating profit this year was $7,790,000 versus an operating profit of $5,586,000 last year. This year’s operating profit benefitted from the gain on easement sale of $1,277,000 while the prior year was negatively impacted by the $2,074,000 intangible asset impairment charge. Adjusted operating profit this year was $6,513,000 versus an adjusted operating profit of $7,660,000 last year. Our adjusted operating ratio was 94.6% compared to an adjusted operating ratio of 93.8% last year. The lower results were mainly due to the higher net fuel cost of $1,870,000 which mostly occurred in the first half of this fiscal year prior to the positive adjustments we made to the fuel surcharge tables. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude gain from easement sale realized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 and the intangible asset impairment charge incurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Management believes these adjusted measures better reflect our operating performance during the periods discussed and reflect how management evaluates our operational results. Refer to “Non- GAAP Financial Measures” below in this press release for a more detailed discussion, including reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures”. Fiscal Year 2015 versus 2014 – Net income for fiscal 2015 was $3,339,000 or $1.02 per share, an increase of $142,000 or $.03 per share compared to net income of $3,197,000 or $.99 per Management Analysis Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. share in fiscal 2014. During the second quarter of 2015, as part of a competitive bid, we elected not to pursue a significant piece of business acquired in the Pipeline transaction (closed in early fiscal 2014). The absence of this business required us to take an impairment charge of $2,074,000 against the intangible asset “customer relationships”. The $2,074,000 intangible asset impairment charge had an after tax negative impact to net income of $1,265,000, or $.39 per share, related to the Pipeline Transportation acquisition. Rather than lower our quoted rates to retain that business, management determined it was in our best interest to employ our capital and resources to find new business at better rates. During the latter half of fiscal 2015, our sales team did an excellent job replacing those lost revenue miles. In the end, we were able to haul almost as many miles in fiscal 2015 (43,220,000) as we did in fiscal 2014 (43,865,000) while increasing our transportation revenue by $2,870,000. The Company’s 2015 adjusted operating profit increased 43% to $7,660,000 and 2015 adjusted operating ratio improved to 93.8% versus last year’s 95.9%, more in line with our goals. For fiscal 2015, total revenue was down $6,280,000 due mainly to significantly lower fuel surcharges. Total revenue is made up of transportation revenue (up $2,870,000, a 2.6% improvement over fiscal 2014) and fuel surcharge revenue (down $9,150,000 due to the dramatic decrease in fuel prices experienced over the past 12 months). Comparing revenue lower ($9,150,000) to the lower fuel cost ($8,986,000) resulted in a $164,000 negative impact to the Company from the lower price of diesel in 2015 versus 2014. fuel surcharge the Compensation and benefits expense was up significantly for a series of reasons including, an increase in pay for all of our drivers, higher driver training pay and an increase in support wages as we continue to hire people in the field to enhance our ability to hire and retain drivers to meet our customers’ growing demands. The demand for drivers continues to increase with the expansion of the US economy while the pool of qualified drivers so far has not grown at a sufficient pace to meet that demand; thus, finding and retaining qualified drivers to grow our business is an ever increasing challenge. Management believes that in order to be successful going forward we need to be a leader in our industry at attracting, hiring and retaining drivers and we will continue to focus more and more of our resources on meeting this goal.. Operating expenses improved by $731,000 over 2014 due in large part to lower out-of-town driver costs (as we improved on managing our customer’s business demands with more local drivers in fiscal 2015 versus 2014) and lower rigging, tolls, and operating supplies expense. Gains on equipment sales were up significantly in 2015 ($959,000) due in large part to the sale of 50 trailers during fiscal 2015 versus no trailer sales in fiscal 2014. Insurance and loss expense improved by $480,000 due in large part to lower workers’ comp expense. Depreciation expense increased $276,000 due to the increased cost of new tractors year over year. Corporate overhead saw an increase of $518,000 due mainly to higher medical claims, a significant repair to the corporate aircraft (management is in the process of selling a significant stake in the corporate aircraft to reduce the Company’s on-going expenses related thereto), higher management incentive compensation expense and the additional costs of operating as a stand-alone public company. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company maintains its operating accounts with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and these accounts directly sweep overnight against the Wells Fargo revolver. As of September 30, 2016, we had no debt outstanding on this revolver, $2,436,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $22,564,000 available for additional borrowings. During fiscal 2015, the Company closed on a two (2) — — year revolving credit facility, to be secured by a portion of the Company’s equipment at the time of draw, from Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) for up to $25 million. This facility contains a provision which automatically converts any draws under the revolver into five-year term loans with a seven year amortization. As of September 30, 2016, the Company had not taken any draws against this facility. The Company expects our fiscal year 2017 cash generation to cover the cost of our operations and all of our budgeted capital expenditures. 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): Years Ended September 30 Total cash provided by (used for): Operating activities Investing activities Financing activities Increase in cash 2016 2015 2014 $ 14,955 (8,348) (602) $ 15,052 $ 10,820 (18,218) 7,398 (8,042) (7,010) and cash equivalents $ 6,005 $ — $ Outstanding debt at the beginning of the period Outstanding debt at the end of the period $ $ — $ 7,282 $ — $ — $ 7,282 Operating Activities – Net cash provided by operating activities (as set forth in the cash flow statement) was $14,955,000 for the year ended September 30, 2016, $15,052,000 in 2015 and $10,820,000 in 2014. The total of net income plus depreciation and amortization less gains on asset dispositions increased $1,946,000 versus the same period last year. These changes are described above under “Comparative Results of Operations”. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $2,926,000 due to the timing of payments on the purchase of tractors and trailers in 2016 and lower bonus compensation accruals in the same period last year. These changes comprise the majority of the increase in net cash provided by operating activities. The $2,074,000 impairment charge and the related $809,000 of deferred income taxes are added back to net income in fiscal 2015 as these are non-cash items. Investing Activities – Investing activities include the purchase of property and equipment, any business acquisitions and proceeds from sales of these assets upon retirement. For the year ended September 30, 2016, we spent $8,348,000 on equipment net of proceeds from retirements. The Company received $1,330,000 for an easement granted to the state of Florida over the Company's 25.2 acre terminal facility in Tampa, Florida resulting in a $1,277,000 gain during 2016. For the year ended September 30, 2015 we spent $8,042,000 on equipment net of retirements. In 2015, cash required by investing activities was $8,042,000 compared to $18,218,000 in 2014. The lower investing cash use of $10,176,000 was primarily due to the acquisition of Pipeline Transportation, Inc. in fiscal 2014. Financing Activities – Financing activities primarily include net changes to our outstanding revolving debt. For the year ended September 30, 2016 we used $602,000 of cash to pay down debt. The Company had no outstanding long-term debt on September 30, 2016 or September 30, 2015. Cash used by financing activities in the year ended September 30, 2015, was $7,010,000 compared to cash provided of 9 Management Analysis Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. $7,398,000 in 2014. This decrease in cash provided was due to borrowing to finance the acquisition of the assets of Pipeline Transportation in 2014. Credit Facilities – In connection with the Spin-off, on January 30, 2015, the Company entered into a five-year credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A. which provides a $25 million revolving line of credit with a $10 million sublimit for stand-by letters of credit. In connection with the Spin-off, the Company assumed and refinanced onto this new revolving credit line approximately $5.1 million of indebtedness from FRP. The amounts outstanding under the credit agreement bear interest at a rate of 1.0% over LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment, which fee may change quarterly based on our ratio of consolidated total debt to consolidated total capital. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including a minimum $25 million tangible net worth. As of September 30, 2016, the tangible net worth covenant would have limited our ability to pay dividends or repurchase stock with borrowed funds to a maximum of $11.3 million combined. In addition to the unsecured revolving facility provided by Wells Fargo, Management determined the Company needed an additional financing source to provide capital for potential growth opportunities. As a result, the Company closed on a loan from Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) for up to $25 million under a two (2) year revolving facility to be secured by a portion of the Company’s equipment. This facility contains a provision which automatically converts any draws under the revolver into five-year term loans with a seven year amortization. Each draw requires the payment of a bank fee equal to .25% of the amount drawn. Any amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a rate of 1.5% over LIBOR, which may change quarterly based on the Company’s leverage ratio. A commitment fee of 0.15% per annum is payable quarterly on the unused portion of the commitment. The credit agreement contains certain conditions and financial covenants, including limitations on the payment of cash dividends that are based on the Company’s consolidated retained earnings. As of September 30 2016, the Company had not taken any draws against this facility. Cash Requirements – The Company currently expects its fiscal 2017 capital expenditures to be approximately $9,823,000 for expansion and replacement equipment which we expect to be fully funded by our cash generated from our operations. The Company does not currently pay any cash dividends on common stock. 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. The Company expects that cash flows from operating activities, cash on hand and the funds available under its revolving credit agreement will be adequate to finance these capital expenditures and its working capital needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES To supplement the financial results presented in accordance with GAAP, Patriot presents certain non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Patriot uses these non-GAAP financial measures to analyze its continuing operations and to monitor, assess, and identify meaningful trends in its operating and financial performance. These measures are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for GAAP financial measures. 10 Adjusted Operating Profit Adjusted operating profit excludes the impact of the intangible asset impairment charge. Adjusted operating profit is presented to provide additional perspective on underlying trends in Patriot’s core operating results. A reconciliation between operating profit and adjusted operating profit is as follows: Three months ended September 30, 2016 Three months ended September 30, 2015 Operating profit Adjustments: $ Gain on property sale Adjusted operating profit $ 3,454 (1,277) 2,177 2,633 2,633 Twelve months ended September 30, 2016 Twelve months ended September 30, 2015 Operating profit Adjustments: $ Gain on property sale Intangible asset impairment charge Adjusted operating profit $ Adjusted Operating Ratio 7,790 (1,277) — 6,513 5,586 — 2,074 7,660 Adjusted operating ratio excludes the impact of the intangible asset impairment charge. Adjusted operating ratio is presented to provide additional perspective on underlying trends in Patriot’s core operating results. A reconciliation between operating ratio and adjusted operating ratio is as follows: Three months ended September 30, 2016 Three months ended September 30, 2015 Operating profit Adjustments: Gain on property sale Adjusted operating ratio 88.6% 4.2% 92.8% 91.3% — 91.3% Twelve months ended September 30, 2016 Twelve months ended September 30, 2015 Operating profit Adjustments: Gain on property sale Intangible asset impairment charge Adjusted operating ratio 93.5% 1.1% — 94.6% 95.5% — (1.7%) 93.8% OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS Except for the letters of credit described above under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” the Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on its financial condition. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of Management Analysis Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated and combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the respective reporting periods. Accounting estimates are considered to be critical if (1) the nature of the estimates and assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change; and (2) the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating performance is material. Actual results could differ the estimates and assumptions used. Management of the Company considers the following accounting policies critical to the reported operations of the Company: from Accounts Receivable Valuation. The Company is subject to customer credit risk that could affect the collection of outstanding accounts receivable. To mitigate these risks, the Company performs credit reviews on all new customers and periodic credit reviews on existing customers. A detailed analysis of late and slow pay customers is prepared monthly and reviewed by senior management. The overall collectability of outstanding receivables is evaluated and allowances are recorded as appropriate. Significant changes in customer credit could require increased allowances and affect cash flows. Property and Equipment and Impairment of Assets. Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provision for depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements Revenue equipment Other equipment Years 7-39 7-10 3-10 The Company periodically reviews property and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The analysis consists of a review of future anticipated results considering business prospects and asset utilization. If the sum of these future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would record an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets with the fair value of the assets generally based upon an estimate of the discounted future cash flows expected with regards to the assets and their eventual disposition as the measure of fair value. The Company performs an annual impairment test on goodwill and other intangible assets. Changes in estimates or assumptions could have an impact on the Company’s financials. Insurance Accruals. The nature of the Claims and transportation business subjects the Company to risks arising from workers’ compensation, automobile liability, and general liability claims. The Company retains the exposure on certain claims of $250,000 ($500,000 for automobile liability and general liability claims prior to fiscal 2011 and for worker’s compensation claims prior to fiscal 2013) and has third party coverage for amounts exceeding the retention up to the amount of the policy limits. The Company expenses during the year an estimate of risk insurance losses based upon independent actuarial analysis, insurance company estimates, and our monthly review of claims reserve changes. In making claim reserve changes we rely upon estimates of our insurance company adjusters, attorney evaluations, and judgment of our management. Our estimates require judgment concerning the nature, severity, comparative liability, jurisdiction, legal and investigative costs of each claim. Claims involving serious injury have greater uncertainty of the eventual cost. In the past, our estimate of the amount of individual claims has increased from insignificant amounts to the full deductible as we learn more information about the claim in subsequent periods. We obtain an independent actuarial analysis at least twice annually to assist in estimating the total loss reserves expected on claims including claim development and incurred but not reported claims. We also retain exposure on employee health benefits up to $250,000 per covered participant each calendar year plus a $77,000 aggregate deductible for any claims exceeding $250,000. We estimate claim liability using historical payment trends and specific knowledge of larger claims. Health claims are expensed as the health services are rendered so there is only a two month lag in payments on average. We are usually aware of the larger claims before closing each accounting period reducing the amount of uncertainty of the estimate. Our accrued insurance liabilities for retiree benefits are recorded by actuarial calculation. Our accrued insurance liabilities for claims as of September 30, 2016, 2015, and 2014 amounted to $.9 million, $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. Payments made under a captive agreement for each year’s loss fund are scheduled in advance using actuarial methodology. The captive agreement provides that we will share in the underwriting results, good or bad, within a $250,000 per occurrence layer of loss through retrospective premium adjustments. Including the potential exposure in the captive we have $4.6 million of estimated insurance liabilities. In the event that actual costs for these claims are different than estimates we will have adjustments in future periods. It is likely that we will experience either gains or losses of 5-10% of prior year estimated insurance liabilities in any year. Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset-and-liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent items that will result in taxable income or a tax deduction in future years for which the related tax expense or benefit has already been recorded in our statement of earnings. Deferred tax accounts arise as a result of timing differences between when items are recognized in the consolidated and combined financial statements compared with when they are recognized in the tax returns. The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent recovery is not probable, a valuation allowance is established and included as an expense as part of our income tax provision. No valuation allowance was recorded at September 30, 2016, as all deferred tax assets are considered more likely than not to be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining and assessing the impact of complex tax laws and certain tax-related contingencies on the provision for income taxes. As part of the calculation of the provision for income taxes, we assess whether the benefits of our tax positions are at least more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. For tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit, we accrue the largest amount of the benefit that is more likely than not of being sustained in our financial statements. Such accruals require estimates and judgments, whereby actual results could vary materially from these estimates. Further, a number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which an established accrual was made, is audited and resolved. 11 Management Analysis Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. ”projects”, ”continuing”, ”ongoing”, ”expects”, ”management believes”, ”the Company believes”, ”the Company intends” and similar words or phrases. The following factors and others discussed in the Company’s periodic reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are among the principal factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: freight demand for petroleum products including recessionary and terrorist impacts on travel in the Company’s markets; fuel costs and the Company’s ability to recover fuel surcharges; accident severity and frequency; risk insurance markets; driver availability and cost; the impact of future regulations regarding the transportation industry; availability and terms of financing; competition in our markets; interest rates, and inflation and general economic conditions. However, this list is not a complete statement of all potential risks or uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date hereof based on management’s current expectations, and the Company does not undertake an obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additional information regarding these and other risk factors may be found in the Company’s other filings made from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2016: Payments due by period Contractual Obligations (thousands of dollars) Less than 1 year 1-3 years More than years 5 years 3-5 Total Operating Leases 2,179 458 602 618 501 Purchase Commitments 1,055 1,055 - - - Other Long-Term Liabilities Total obligations 1,141 72 150 154 765 $ 4,375 1,585 752 772 1,266 INFLATION Most of the Company’s operating expenses are inflation-sensitive, with inflation generally producing increased costs of operations. During the past three years, inflation has been fairly modest with its impacts mostly related to equipment prices, tire prices and the compensation paid to drivers. Tractor prices have increased over 40% since 2007 due in part to EPA mandated new engine emission requirements on tractor engines. Customer rate increases received have significantly lagged the increased prices paid for new equipment over the same period. In addition to inflation, fluctuations in fuel prices can affect profitability. Most of the Company’s contracts with customers contain fuel surcharge provisions. Although the Company historically has been able to pass through most long-term increases in fuel prices and operating taxes to customers in the form of surcharges and higher rates, there is no guarantee that this will be possible in the future. See “Risk Factors—We may be adversely impacted by fluctuations in the price and availability of fuel.” SEASONALITY Our business is subject to seasonal trends common in the refined petroleum products delivery industry. We typically face reduced demand for refined petroleum products delivery services during the winter months and increased demand during the spring and summer months. Further, operating costs and earnings are generally adversely affected by inclement weather conditions. These factors generally result in lower operating results during the first and fourth calendar quarters of the year and cause our operating results to fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Our operating expenses also have been somewhat higher in the winter months, due primarily to decreased fuel efficiency and increased maintenance costs for tractors and trailers in colder months. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain matters discussed in this report contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital resources and competition and may be indicated by words or phrases such as ”anticipate”, ”estimate”, ”plans”, forward-looking statements.

Accounting Policies. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SPIN-OFF TRANSACTION - On January 30, 2015, FRP Holdings, Inc. ("FRP") completed the tax-free spin-off (the “Spin-off") of Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc., (the "Company" or "Patriot"). In the Spin-off, FRP distributed all of the outstanding stock of the Company to FRP's shareholders as of the record date of January 9, 2015. FRP’s shareholders received one share of Patriot (stock symbol “PATI”) for every three shares of FRP owned on the record date resulting in 3,242,524 of Patriot shares outstanding on the distribution date. Patriot now is an independent, publicly traded company, and FRP retains no ownership in Patriot. COMPANY’S BUSINESS - The business of the Company, conducted through our wholly owned subsidiary, Florida Rock & Tank Lines, Inc., is to transport petroleum and other liquids and dry bulk commodities. We do not own any of the products we haul, rather, we act as a third party carrier to deliver our customer’s products from point A to point B predominately using Company employees driving Company owned tractors and tank trailers. Approximately 82% of our business consists of hauling liquid petroleum products (mostly gas and diesel fuel) from large scale fuel storage facilities to our customers’ retail outlets (e.g. convenience stores, truck stops and fuel depots) where we off-load the product into our customer’s fuel storage tanks for ultimate sale to the retail consumer. The remaining 18% of our business consists of hauling our customer’s dry bulk commodities such as cement, lime and various industrial powder products and liquid chemicals. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND COMBINATION - The consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and include the accounts, certain assets, liabilities, and expenses of Patriot and its wholly owned subsidiaries that comprise the Company. All significant intercompany transactions within the consolidated and combined entity have been eliminated. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Bank overdrafts consist of outstanding checks not yet presented to a bank for settlement, net of cash held in accounts with right of offset. INVENTORY - Inventory of parts and supplies is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. TIRES ON EQUIPMENT - The value of tires on tractors and trailers is accounted for as a prepaid expense and amortized over the life of the tires as a function of miles driven. REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION - Transportation revenue, including fuel surcharges, is recognized when the services have been rendered to customers or delivery has occurred, the pricing is fixed or determinable and collectibility reasonably assured. Transportation expenses are is recognized as incurred. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Accounts receivable are recorded net of discounts and provisions for estimated allowances. We estimate allowances on an ongoing basis by considering historical and current trends. We record estimated bad debts expense as a selling, general and administrative expense. We estimate the net collectibility of our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon this assessment. Specifically, we analyze the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms. Any trade accounts receivable balances written off are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not experienced any significant credit-related losses in the past three years. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT - Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provision for depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives: Buildings and improvements Revenue equipment Other equipment Years 7-39 7-10 3-10 The Company recorded depreciation expenses for 2016, 2015 and 2014 of $9,487,000, $9,154,000 and $8,898,000, respectively. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company periodically reviews its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The analysis consists of a review of future anticipated results considering business prospects and asset utilization. If the sum of these future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Company would record an impairment loss based on the fair value of the assets with the fair value of the assets generally based upon an estimate of the discounted future cash flows expected with regards to the assets and their eventual disposition. GOODWILL - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below carrying value. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and other assets and liabilities to reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the book value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the book value, including goodwill, then the recorded goodwill is impaired to its implied fair value with a 17 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. charge to operating expense. INSURANCE - The Company has a $250,000 to $500,000 self-insured retention per occurrence in connection with certain of its workers’ compensation, automobile liability, and general liability insurance programs (“risk insurance”). The Company is also self-insured for its employee health insurance benefits and carries stop loss coverage for losses over $250,000 per covered participant per year plus a $77,000 aggregate. The Company has established an accrued liability for the estimated cost in connection with its portion of its risk and health insurance losses incurred and reported. Claims paid by the Company are charged against the liability. Additionally, the Company maintains an accrued liability for incurred but not reported claims based on historical analysis of such claims. Payments made under a captive agreement for each year’s loss in advance using actuarial methodology. The captive agreement provides that we will share in the underwriting results, good or bad, within a $250,000 per occurrence layer of loss through retrospective premium adjustments. The method of calculating the accrual liability is subject to inherent uncertainty. If actual results are less favorable than the estimates used to calculate the liabilities, the Company would have to record expenses in excess of what has been accrued. fund are scheduled INCOME TAXES - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between pre-tax income reported in the financial statements and taxable income. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the amounts rely upon the determination of the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law and expiration of statutes of limitations, effectively settled issues under audit, and audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. It is the Company’s policy to recognize as additional income tax expense the items of interest and penalties directly related to income taxes. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION – The Company accounts for compensation related to share based plans by recognizing the grant date fair value of stock options and other equity- based compensation issued to Company employees in Patriot’s income statement over the requisite employee service period using the straight-line attribution model. In addition, compensation expense must be recognized for the change in 18 fair value of any awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after the grant date. The fair value of each grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used in the model and related impact are discussed in Footnote 6. PENSION PLAN - The Company accounts for its pension plan following the requirements of FASB ASC Topic 715, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits”, which requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position the funded status of a benefit plan; (b) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year (with limited exceptions); and (c) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit costs pursuant to prior existing guidance. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE - Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings. The differences between basic and diluted shares used for the calculation are the effect of employee and director stock options and restricted stock. USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain accounting policies and estimates are of more significance in the financial statement preparation process than others. The most critical accounting policies and estimates include the economic useful lives and salvage values of our vehicles and equipment, provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable, estimates of exposures related to our insurance claims plans, and estimates for taxes. To the extent that actual, final outcomes are different than these estimates, or that additional facts and circumstances result in a revision to these estimates, earnings during that accounting period will be affected. ENVIRONMENTAL - Environmental expenditures that benefit future periods are capitalized. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and which do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded for the estimated amount of expected environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts. Estimation of such liabilities includes an assessment of engineering estimates, continually evolving governmental laws and standards, and potential involvement of other potentially responsible parties. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME – Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to expenses, gains, and losses that are not included in net income, but in shareholder’s recorded directly equity/net investment. rather are NET INVESTMENT BY PARENT – The Net investment by former Parent represents a net balance reflecting FRP’s initial investment in the Company and subsequent adjustments resulting from the operations of the Company and various transactions between the Company and FRP. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS – In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively as of October 1, 2015 and reclassified $309,000 of deferred tax liability as of September 30, 2015 from current to long term. including significant In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”, which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, judgments made by management, will be required. The new standard will become effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2020 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach and includes a number of practical expedients. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on the consolidated financial statements. The Company has relatively few leases extending over 12 months, the total gross contractual obligation for lease payments greater than 12 months at September 30, 2016 was $1,722,000. (Topic In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, 718): “Compensation—Stock Compensation Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. Excess tax benefits for share-based payments will be recorded as a reduction of income taxes and reflected in operating cash flows upon the adoption of this ASU. Excess tax benefits are currently recorded in equity and disclosed on the statement of cash flows as financing activity under the current rules. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. This guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods of public entities beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company may early adopt this accounting guidance in fiscal 2017 or as required in fiscal 2018. 2. Related Party Agreements. In order to effect the Spin-off and govern our relationship with FRP Holdings, Inc. after the Spin-off, we entered into an Employee Matters Agreement and a Transition Services Agreement. The Employee Matters Agreement generally allocates responsibilities to each company for liabilities relating to each Company’s current and former employees and allocated responsibilities under employee benefit plans. The Transition Services Agreement sets forth the terms on which the Company will provide to FRP certain services that were shared prior to the Spin-off, including the services of certain shared executive officers, for a period of 12 or more months after the Spin-off. The boards of the respective companies have since extended these agreements for an additional twelve months. The consolidated and combined statements of income reflect charges and/or allocation to FRP Holdings, Inc. for these services of $1,542,000, $2,211,000, and $2,539,000 for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Included in the charges above are amounts recognized for corporate executive stock- based compensation expense. These charges are reflected as a reduction to corporate expenses. To determine these allocations between FRP and Patriot as set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, we generally employed the same methodology historically used by the Company pre Spin-off 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 as the terms were negotiated while Patriot was still a subsidiary of FRP. information technology services and Patriot provides previously subleased office space to Bluegrass Materials Company, LLC (“Bluegrass”). Mr. John Baker, brother of Edward L. Baker and uncle of Thompson S. Baker II, serves as Chairman of Bluegrass, and his son, Edward L. Baker II, serves as its Chief Executive Officer. Messrs. John Baker and Edward L. Baker II have a beneficial ownership interest in Bluegrass. Bluegrass paid $599,000, $490,000 and $359,000 to the Company for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 respectively for such information technology services and office space. The services to Bluegrass are anticipated to cease by December 31, 2016. 3. Debt. The Company had no long-term debt outstanding at September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. The Company has two revolving lines of credit at September 30, 2016 as follows: Prior to the Spin-off, the Company was permitted to borrow under FRP's credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (the "FRP Credit Agreement"). On January 30, 2015, the Company entered into a new $25 million, five year, revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and assumed and 19 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. refinanced $5.1 million then outstanding on the FRP Credit Agreement into this new revolver. As of September 30, 2016, we had no outstanding debt borrowed on this revolver, $2,436,000 outstanding under letters of credit and $22,564,000 available for additional borrowings. In addition to the unsecured revolving facility provided by Wells Fargo, Management determined the Company needed an additional financing source to provide capital for potential growth opportunities. The Company closed on a loan on May 13, 2015 from Branch Banking and Trust Company (BB&T) for up to $25 million under a two (2) year revolving facility to be secured by a portion of the Company’s equipment. This facility contains a provision which automatically converts any draws under the revolver into five-year term loans with a seven year amortization. As of September 30 2016, the Company had not taken any draws against this facility. These credit agreements contain certain conditions, affirmative including financial covenants and negative covenants limitations on paying cash dividends. The Company was in compliance with all of loan covenants as of September 30, 2016. its 4. Operating Leases. The Company leases certain assets under operating leases, which primarily consist of real estate leases for the corporate office and some of our terminal locations. Certain operating leases provide for renewal options, which can vary by lease and are typically offered at their fair rental value. The Company has not made any residual value guarantees related to its operating leases; therefore, there is no corresponding liability recorded on the Balance Sheets. Future minimum annual lease payments for assets under operating leases as of September 30, 2016 are as follows (in thousands): Fiscal Year 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Thereafter Total minimum lease payments Total 458 299 303 307 311 501 2,179 $ $ Aggregate expense under operating leases was $759,000, $742,000 and $738,000 for 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Certain operating leases include rent escalation provisions, which are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis. 5. Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of common shares and potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings. The differences between basic and diluted shares used for the calculation are the effect of employee and director stock 20 options. On January 30, 2015, 3,242,524 shares of our common stock were distributed to the shareholders of FRP in connection with the Spin-off and distribution. For comparative purposes, we have assumed this amount to be outstanding as of the beginning of each period prior to the Spin-off and distribution presented in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. The following details the computations of the basic and diluted earnings per common share. (Shares in thousands, except per share amounts.) Years Ended September 30 2016 2015 2014 Common shares: Weighted average common shares outstanding during the period - shares used for basic earnings per common share 3,283 3,268 3,243 Common shares issuable under share based payment plans which are potentially dilutive 2 7 — Common shares used for diluted earnings per common share Net income Earnings per common share 3,285 $ 5,705 3,275 3,339 3,243 3,197 Basic Diluted $ 1.74 $ 1.74 1.02 1.02 .99 .99 For 2016 and 2015, 80,669 and 19,218 shares, respectively, attributable to outstanding stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 6. Stock-Based Compensation Plans. PARTICIPATION IN FRP PLANS – The Company's directors, officers and key employees previously were eligible to participate in FRP's 2000 Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Stock Option Plan under which options for shares of common stock were granted to directors, officers and key employees. All related compensation expense has been fully allocated to the Company (rather than FRP) and included in corporate expenses. Corporate expense also reflects an offsetting credit for the Transition Services Agreement allocation to FRP. All outstanding options held by company directors, officers and key employees on January 30, 2015 were cancelled and replaced by an equal number of FRP options at 75.14% of the previous exercise price based upon the market value of FRP less the when issued market value of the Company on that day. PATRIOT INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN – In January 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. Incentive Stock Plan. Grants were issued based upon all outstanding FRP options held by company directors, officers and key employees on January 30, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. 2015 with the same remaining terms. The grants were based upon the FRP options outstanding at 24.86% of the previous exercise price based upon the when issued market value of the Company compared to the market value of FRP on that day. Simultaneously, the number of shares were divided by 3 and the exercise price multiplied by 3 to adjust for the Spin-off distribution of 1 for 3 shares of FRP. The number of common shares available for future issuance was 142,360 at September 30, 2016. the Black-Scholes valuation model for Patriot utilizes 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 are no dividend yield, expected volatility between 37% and 41%, risk-free interest rate of .9 to 2.0% and expected life of 3.0 to 7.0 years. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that Patriot does not pay cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is estimated based on FRP’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 to exercise options by time the employees. Subsequent to Spin-off, the realized tax benefit pertaining to options exercised and the remaining compensation cost of options previously granted prior to the Spin-off will be recognized by FRP or Patriot based on the employment location of the related employee or director.

Patriot tax returns in the U.S. and various states that include the Company are subject to audit by taxing authorities. As of September 30, 2016, the earliest tax year that remains open for audit in the Unites States is 2010. 8. Accrued Insurance. The Company has established an accrued liability for the estimated cost in connection with its portion of its risk and health insurance losses incurred and reported. Payments made under a captive agreement for each year’s risk loss fund are scheduled in advance using actuarial methodology. 22 9. Employee Benefits. The Company and certain subsidiaries have a savings/profit sharing plan for the benefit of qualified employees. The savings feature of the plan incorporates the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code under which an eligible employee may elect to save a portion (within limits) of their compensation on a tax deferred basis. Patriot contributes to a participant’s account an amount equal to 50% (with certain limits) of the participant’s contribution. Additionally, the Company may make an annual discretionary contribution to the plan as determined by the Board of Directors, with certain limitations. The plan provides for deferred vesting with benefits payable upon retirement or earlier termination of employment. The Company’s allocated cost was $792,000 in 2016, $718,000 in 2015 and $718,000 in 2014. The Company has a Management Security Plan (MSP) for certain key employees. The accruals for future benefits are based upon the remaining years to retirement of the participating employees and other actuarial assumptions. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 included a $575,000 unfavorable adjustment to the actuarially assumed expense due to the death prior to retirement of one of the plan participants. The expense allocated to the Company for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $25,000, $28,000 and $614,000, respectively. The accrued benefit related to the Company under this plan as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $702,000 and $744,000, respectively. The Company provides certain health benefits for retired employees. Employees may become eligible for those benefits if they were employed by the Company prior to December 10, 1992, meet the service requirements and reach retirement age while working for Patriot. The plan is contributory and unfunded. The Company accrues its allocated estimated cost of retiree health benefits over the years that the employees render service. The accrued postretirement benefit obligation for this plan related to the Company as of September 30, 2016 and 2015 was $180,000 and $387,000, respectively. The net periodic postretirement benefit cost allocated to the Company was $16,000, $12,000 and $12,000 for fiscal 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The discount rate used in determining the Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost was 3.7% for 2016, 4.0% for 2015 and 4.0% for 2014. The discount rate used in the Accumulated Postretirement Benefit determining Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc. Obligation (APBO) was 4.25% for 2016, 2015, and 2014. No medical trend is applicable because the Company’s share of the cost is frozen. 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. As of September 30, 2016 the Company had no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or non- recurring basis. At September 30, 2016 and 2015, the carrying amount reported in the consolidated and combined balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other financial instruments approximate their fair value based upon the short-term nature of these items. We believe the fair value of the allocated outstanding debt obligations approximate their carrying value as the related debt agreements reflect present market terms and as certain debt obligations contain certain interest rates that reset periodically based on current market indices. 11. Contingent Liabilities. The Company is 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. There is a reasonable possibility that the Company’s estimate of vehicle and workers’ compensation liability may be understated or overstated but the possible range cannot be estimated. The liability at any point in time depends upon the relative ages and amounts of the individual open claims. In the opinion of management none of these matters are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. 12. Concentrations. MARKET – The Company primarily serves customers in the petroleum industry in the Southeastern U.S. Significant economic disruption or downturn in this geographic region or within these industries could have an adverse effect on our financial statements. CUSTOMERS – During fiscal 2016, the Company’s ten largest customers accounted for approximately 58.9% of our revenue and one of these customers accounted for 22.0% of our revenue. Accounts receivable from the ten largest customers was $3,998,000 and $4,596,000 at September 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 respectively. The loss of any one of these ten customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues and income. DEPOSITS – The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may exceed FDIC limits. 13. Unusual or Infrequent Items Impacting Quarterly Results. On September 30, 2016, the Company received $1,330,000 for an easement granted to the state of Florida over the Company's 25.2 acre terminal facility in Tampa, Florida resulting in a $1,277,000 gain. The easement prohibits residential development on the site and prohibits hotel development on a portion of the site. On October 20, 2015, the Company received notice from the Claims Administrator for the Deepwater Horizon Economic and Property Damages Settlement Program that the Company’s claim in the amount of $2,106,281 qualifies for payment under the terms of the Economic and Property Damages Settlement Agreement. On December 18, 2015 BP accepted the Company’s proposal of $2,047,651. The Company received payment of $1,687,085 on January 6, 2016 net of all contingency fees. This amount is included in other income. An impairment charge of $2,074,000 was recorded in second quarter 2015 related to the recorded customer relationship intangible asset fair value pertaining to the Pipeline acquisition in November 2013. Sales, general & administrative expense for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 includes a $575,000 unfavorable adjustment to the actuarially assumed expense due to the death prior to the Management Security Plan participants. retirement of one of 14. Pipeline Business Acquisition. The operations acquired from Pipeline Transportation, Inc. on November 7, 2013 for $10,023,000 are included in the Company’s consolidated and combined operating results subsequent to the acquisition date. The Company accounted for this acquisition in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) and allocated the purchase price of the business based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, using a third party valuation expert as follows (in thousands): Consideration: Fair value of consideration transferred (cash paid) Acquisition related costs expensed Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Property and equipment Prepaid tires and other prepaid assets Customer relationships Trade name $ $ $ (10,023) 75 3,397 276 4,004 72 23 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Continued Patriot Transportation Holding, Inc.

The other intangible assets acquired in the transaction are reflected in the line Intangible assets, net on the consolidated and combined balance sheets. In connection with the Pipeline acquisition, the Company assumed certain vehicle leases. As of September 30, 2016 these non- cancellable operating leases will require minimum annualized rental payments approximating $200,000 for the next 1.1 fiscal years. 15. Goodwill and Intangible Assets. The changes in gross carrying amounts of goodwill are as follows (in thousands): October 1, 2013 Goodwill acquired September 30, 2014 No activity September 30, 2015 No activity September 30, 2016 Goodwill $ $ 1,087 2,344 3,431 - 3,431 - 3,431 The Company assesses goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. trade name and non-compete agreements, The Company reviews intangible assets, including customer value, for impairment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by those assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment charge recognized is the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The gross amounts and accumulated amortization (including impairment) of identifiable intangible assets are as follows (in thousands): Amortizable intangible assets: Customer value (useful life 10.5 years) Trade name (useful life 3.5 years) Non-compete (useful life 5 years) September 30, 2016 Gross Accumulated Gross Accumulated Amount Amortization Amount Amortization September 30, 2015 4,004 2,844 4,004 2,691 72 60 72 62 4,138 $ $ 36 2,940 $ 62 4,138 $ 39 24 2,754 The Company recorded an impairment charge related to the recorded customer relationship intangible asset resulting from the Pipeline acquisition of $2,074,000, with an after tax impact to net income of $1,265,000, in its consolidated and combined financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The impairment charge was calculated utilizing the assistance of a third party valuation expert. The Company's conclusion that an impairment charge was necessary in second quarter 2015 was a the result of (i) the loss of certain Pipeline customers over the course of the first nine months of calendar 2014, and then (ii) the notification from another customer during the second quarter that we would not be able to retain a sizeable piece of the business we acquired from Pipeline at the rates we quoted them during a competitive bid process. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $186,000 for 2016 and it is included in sales, general and administrative expense. Estimated amortization expense for the five succeeding years follows (in thousands): 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Total 16. Subsequent Events. None.

Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Patriot's management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2016 based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
