Notes:
This would not include income from things such as investments in other firms. Also referred to as operating profit or recurring profit.

) reported fourth-quarter 1995 net income applicable to common stock of $81,162,000, $2.86 per share, compared with fourth-quarter 1994 net income of $18,392,000, $0.80 per share. For the twelve months ended December December: see month.  31, 1995, FTX reported net income of $390,541,000, $14.97 per share, compared with net income of $41,443,000, $1.79 per share, a year ago.

Operating income for the fourth quarter of 1995 was $54.2 million, a 58% increase from the fourth quarter of 1994. The following factors contributed to the difference between the quarterly periods:

-- Improved Phosphate Fertilizer Prices, Higher Margins. Average realized phosphate fertilizer prices for the fourth quarter of 1995 increased approximately 20% from year ago levels resulting in improved margins. The improvement was primarily the result of record export demand and positive developments in domestic markets. Fertilizer prices continued to rise during the fourth quarter and are expected to remain firm for the near term, as the increased global demand for phosphate fertilizers comes at a time when domestic industrywide in·dus·try·wide

 are above 100% and at record levels. Domestic phosphate fertilizer producer inventories remain below normal, despite shipping delays at year end.

-- Higher Sales Volumes. FRP's sales of 875,800 tons of phosphate fertilizer products were higher than year-ago sales volumes and exceeded expectations due to continued excellent export demand and strong domestic sales. Sales volumes would have been greater except certain weather- related shipping delays at year-end deferred the sale of approximately 40,000 tons of DAP into the first quarter of 1996. Because domestic season-ending stocks of corn and wheat are projected to be at their lowest level in 20 years, domestic demand should benefit this spring with an expected 13 percent increase in planted corn acreage. Leading continued favorable developments in the international market, FRP's IMC-Agrico Company affiliate reached an agreement with China providing for monthly shipments of DAP at market-related prices at the time of shipment throughout 1996.

-- Animal Feed Business Acquired. During the fourth quarter, IMC-Agrico completed the acquisition of Mallinckrodt Mallinckrodt Incorporated is a set of pharmaceutical, chemical, imaging, and respiratory equipment suppliers based in the St. Louis, Missouri area, which were recently purchased by Tyco Healthcare (Tyco International) and which have been proposed for further reorganization.  Inc.'s animal feed business which contributed to income and cash flow for the quarter.

 formula. As a result, the fourth quarter average rock sales price increased approximately 20% and net income was not significantly affected.

-- Higher Sulphur Production. Sulphur production and operations at FRP's Main Pass and Culberson mines performed strongly during the quarter and unit cash production costs remained lower than previously estimated, reflecting operating efficiencies achieved earlier in 1995. Since FRP acquired the Culberson mine in January 1995, production has been maintained at levels 20% higher than in the fourth quarter of 1994.

-- Higher Oil Production. Oil production at Main Pass averaged 11,900 barrels per day Barrels per day (abbreviated BPD, bbl/d, bpd, bd or b/d) is a measurement used to describe the amount of crude oil (measured in barrels) produced or consumed by an entity in one day.  for the fourth quarter, higher than previously expected because of the recompletion and drilling of several wells that resulted in substantial flow from the G-Sand zone. As a result, proved oil reserves were increased by approximately 4.9 million barrels (1.7 million barrels, net to FTX). Oil production in 1996 is expected to approximate 1995 levels. On an annual basis price realization in 1995 was $2.08 per barrel higher than in 1994.

OTHER ACTIVITIES

-- During the fourth quarter, FTX recorded a $62.8 million noncash credit to income attributable to the reversal of certain tax accruals no longer required related to the resolution of certain federal and state tax issues and the realization of tax credits not previously recognized.

-- As part of its announced share repurchase Share Repurchase

 program, FTX purchased 729,000 of its shares during the quarter for an aggregate cost of $27.8 million ($38.17 per share). This brings the total number of shares repurchased by FTX since September 1995 to 862,000 for an aggregate cost of $32.4 million ($37.62 per share). FTX also purchased 118,000 units of FRP during the fourth quarter of 1995 for an aggregate cost of $2.3 million ($19.10 per unit).

-- On January 19, 1996, FRP announced its quarterly cash distribution amount to its public unitholders of $0.625 per unit or $31.3 million. In addition, a payment of $0.6735 per unit or $35.9 million will be made to FTX, FRP's general partner. FTX's total unpaid cash distributions were reduced by $2.6 million to $379.9 million, which FTX will be entitled en·ti·tle
