Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
FRP is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings of a character normally incident to its businesses. FRP believes that its potential liability in any such pending or threatened proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of FRP. FRP, through FTX and IMC-Agrico, maintains liability insurance to cover some, but not all, potential liabilities normally incident to the ordinary course of its businesses with such coverage limits as management deems prudent.

Item 11.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
FRP does not employ any Executive Officers and no compensation was provided by FRP to any Executive Officer for services rendered in any capacity in 1996. The services of Executive Officers of FRP are provided to FRP by FTX as provided in the FRP partnership agreement, for which FRP reimburses FTX at its cost, including allocated overhead. All Executive Officers are employees of FTX or FMS, are compensated by FTX or FMS, and are eligible to participate in FTX or FMS benefit plans and programs. The total costs to FTX and FMS for Executive Officers, including costs of such plans and programs, are allocated to FRP, to the extent practicable, in proportion to the time spent by Executive Officers on FRP affairs. Reference is made to the information set forth under Part 1, Items 1 and 2 "Business and Properties - Relationship between the Company and the FTX Group" above and to the information set forth in Note 5 to the FRP Financial Statements.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the compensation that FTX paid to its chief executive officer and each of its four most highly compensated executive officers (with respect to salary and bonus only) other than the chief executive officer (collectively, the "Named Executive Officers"). During 1996, the Named Executive Officers also provided services to and received compensation from FCX.

See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." ____________________
The following table sets forth information with respect to all stock options and SARs that FTX granted to each of the Named Executive Officers in 1996.

(1) The stock options granted to Messrs. Moffett, Latiolais, Adkerson and Goodyear will become exercisable over a five-year period and the stock options granted to Mr. King will become exercisable over a four-year vesting period. The stock options will become immediately exercisable in their entirety if (a) any persons or group of persons acquires beneficial ownership of shares representing 20% or more of FTX's total voting power or (b) under certain circumstances, the composition of the Board of Directors is changed after a tender offer, exchange offer, merger, consolidation, sale of assets or contested election or any combination thereof. Each stock option has an equal number of tandem "limited rights," which may be exercisable only for a limited period in the event of a tender offer, exchange offer, a series of purchases or other acquisitions or any combination thereof resulting in a person or group of persons becoming a beneficial owner of shares representing 40% or more of FTX's total voting power. Each limited right entitles the holder to receive cash equal to the amount by which the highest price paid in such transaction exceeds the exercise price.
(2) The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to determine the grant date present value of the stock options granted by FTX to the Named Executive Officers. Under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the grant date present value of each stock option and SAR referred to in the table was calculated to be $17.25 on April 30, 1996 and $16.29 on May 14, 1996. The following facts and assumptions were used in making such calculations: (a) an unadjusted exercise price for each such stock option as set forth under the column labeled "Exercise or Base Price;" (b) a fair market value of $36.5625 and $34.8125 for one share of Common Stock on April 30, 1996 and May 14, 1996, respectively; (c) dividend yields of 0.98% and 1.03%, respectively, derived from dividing (i) $0.36, which is the value of the dividend currently being paid on one share of Common Stock, by (ii) the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the dates of grant; (d) a term for such stock options as set forth under the column labeled "Expiration Date;" (e) a stock volatility of 27.5%, based on an analysis of weekly closing stock prices of the Common Stock over a 36-week period; and (f) an assumed risk-free interest rate of 6.61%, such rate being equivalent to the yield on the dates of grant on a treasury note with a maturity date comparable to the expiration of such stock option. No other discounts or restrictions related to vesting or the likelihood of vesting of stock options were applied. The resulting grant date present value for each stock option was multiplied by the total number of stock options granted to each of the Named Executive Officers to determine their total grant date present values.
(3) Effective as of January 1, 1997, Mr. Goodyear resigned from FTX and FRP and pursuant to an agreement, he forfeited two-thirds of the stock options that FTX granted to him in 1996 and will receive $8,333 per month over a three-year period. See "Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." _______________________

(1) Represents the number of performance units covered by FTX's performance award granted in 1996 under FTX's 1992 Long-Term Performance Incentive Plan (the "Long-Term Plan"). As of December 31 of each year, each Named Executive Officer's performance award account will be credited with an amount equal to the "annual earnings per share" or "net loss per share" (as defined in the Long-Term Plan) for that year multiplied by the number of performance units then credited to such performance award account. Annual earnings per share or net loss per share includes the net income or net loss of each majority-owned subsidiary of FTX that is attributable to equity interests that are not owned by FTX. The Corporate Personnel Committee may, however, in its discretion, prior to crediting the Named Executive Officers' performance award accounts with respect to a particular year, reduce or eliminate the amount of the annual earnings per share that otherwise would be credited to any performance award account for such year. The balance in such performance award account is generally paid as soon as practicable after December 31 of the year in which the third anniversary of the award occurs.
(2) The amounts represent the annual earnings per share for 1996, as determined by FTX's Corporate Personnel Committee, applied over a four-year period.
Retirement Benefit Program
FTX's retirement benefit program was amended effective July 1, 1996, to incorporate a "cash-balance plan" design. Under the amended program, each participant, including the Named Executive Officers, is entitled to benefits based upon the sum of his starting account balance, annual benefit credits and annual interest credits allocated to his "account." The starting account balance is equal to the value of the participant's accrued benefit as of June 30, 1996, under the prior plan. The annual benefit credit consists of two parts: (1) 4% of the participant's earnings for the year in excess of the social security wage base for the year; and (2) a percentage of the participant's total earnings for the year. The percentage of total earnings is determined as follows:
15%, if as of January 1, 1997, the participant's age plus service totaled 65 or more, he was at least 50 years old and had at least 10 years of service; 10%, if as of January 1, 1997, the participant's age plus service totaled 55 or more, he had at least 10 years of service, and he did not meet the requirements for a 15% allocation; 7%, if as of January 1, 1997, the participant's age plus service totaled 45 or more, he had at least 5 years of service, and he did not meet the requirements for a greater allocation; 4%, if the participant did not meet the requirements for a greater allocation.
The annual interest credit is equal to the account balance at the end of the prior year multiplied by the annual yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury securities on the last day of the preceding year. For the first half-year of the cash-balance plan design, ending December 31, 1996, the annual benefit credits were based on compensation for the second half of the year, and the interest credit was 2.79% (equal to half the annual yield rate of 5.58%). Interest credits stop at the end of the year in which the participant reaches age 60. Upon retirement a participant's account balance is payable either in a lump sum or an annuity, as selected by the participant. A participant's "earnings" are comprised of annual base salary (see "Salary" in the Summary Compensation Table above), plus a percentage of certain bonuses (See "Bonus" in the Summary Compensation Table above), which percentage is the lesser of 50% or the percentage of the bonus not deferred. Years of service include not only years with FTX but also any years with FTX's predecessors.
Benefits payable to a participant under FTX's retirement benefit program are no longer determined primarily by such individual's final average compensation and years of service. However, if a participant's age plus service equaled 65 or more as of January 1, 1997, and as of that date the participant had both attained age 50 and had at least 10 years of service, the participant is "grandfathered" into a benefit of no less than the benefit under the former retirement benefit formula based on years of service and final average earnings.
The following is the estimated annual retirement benefit, payable as an annuity for life, of each of the Named Executive Officers assuming retirement at age 60, and allowing for reasonable annual increases in earnings until retirement: Mr. Moffett, $1,204,481; Mr. Adkerson, $197,292; Mr. Latiolais, $1,283,955; and Mr. King, $262,110. Mr. King participates in the retirement benefit program of FMS. Mr. Goodyear resigned effective January 1, 1997 and his estimated annual benefit under the retirement benefit program, if the benefit is paid as an annuity for life commencing at age 60, is $115,229.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
As a limited partnership, FRP has neither a board of directors nor a compensation committee. FTX has a Corporate Personnel Committee composed of four independent directors, none of whom is an officer or employee of FTX, FRP or any of their respective subsidiaries. The current members of FTX's Corporate Personnel Committee are Robert W. Bruce III, William B. Harrison, Jr., George Putnam and J. Taylor Wharton. No Executive Officer served in 1996 as a director or member of the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers served as a director of FTX or on FTX's Corporate Personnel Committee.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.
Upon his resignation from FTX, FCX, MOXY, FRP, FMS and FM Properties Inc. (collectively, the "Freeport Entities") as of January 1, 1997, Mr. Goodyear forfeited two-thirds of the stock options that the Freeport Entities granted to him in 1996. The stock options that FTX granted to Mr. Goodyear in 1996 are shown in the table entitled "Option/SAR Grants in 1996" under " Item 11. Executive Compensation." In consideration for such forfeiture, Mr. Goodyear is entitled to receive $8,333 per month from the Freeport Entities starting on January 1, 1997 and continuing through December 1, 1999. Such payments may be discontinued or accelerated under certain circumstances if the consulting arrangement with FMS described below is terminated.
In December 1996, FMS entered into an agreement with Goodyear Capital Corporation ("GCC"), a corporation of which Mr. Goodyear is President and the sole stockholder, under which GCC has agreed to provide consulting services relating to the financial aspects of the businesses, operations and prospects of FMS and its corporate affiliates, including FTX, FRP and FCX, from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 1999. Under the agreement, GCC will receive an annual consulting fee of $1,400,000, reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing such services, certain perquisites, and incentive bonuses, in amounts to be determined, for providing material assistance to any of the Freeport Entities on any major transactions that may be successfully consummated. In 1996, Mr. Goodyear received $15,674 as reimbursement for certain fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of this agreement.
