Item 8. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Shareholders and Board of Directors FRP Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FRP Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involve especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Real Estate Investment Accounting Assessment

Description of Matter

At December 31, 2024, the Company’s investments in real estate were$573 million including unconsolidated real estate ventures of$154 million. As explained in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company enters into real estate investments and performs an assessment as to which method of accounting is appropriate, whether the proper accounting is to determine whether to use the cost or equity method to account for an investment or whether to consolidate such investment. Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements provides a detail of unconsolidated real estate investments.

Application and auditing of the accounting treatment of the Company’s real estate investments, including the process of evaluating the use of the cost or equity method of accounting or the evaluation of criteria for consolidation based on the variable interest entity (VIE) model or a voting interest entity (VOE) model, is complex and requires significant judgment. This evaluation and analysis include the determination of which party, if any, has power to direct the activities most significant to the economic performance of each real estate venture and whether the venture has sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated support. Factors considered by management in determining whether the Company has the power to direct the activities include voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital allocation and operating decisions and the extent of the Company’s involvement in the entity.

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant controls over the Company’s qualitative analysis that determines whether the Company has control over the venture, through influence, voting interest or through the presence of a variable interest in a real estate venture that would require consolidation.

For all investments in real estate ventures, our procedures include reading the operating agreements and other relevant documents and evaluating the structure and terms of the agreements and reviewing management’s evaluation of control over the entity and the applicability of the variable interest model as compared to the voting interest model. We evaluate management’s determination of whether the investee has sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and whether the equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We consider management’s determination on whether the Company is the primary beneficiary or has a controlling financial interest that should be considered. We take into consideration evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, such as review of board minutes and status of the projects development to determine if any reconsideration of the findings is necessary.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2006.
