ALICO, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Description of Business
 
Alico, Inc. (“Alico”), together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company", "we", "us" or "our”), is a Florida agribusiness and land management company owning approximately 121,000122,000 acres of land throughout Florida, including approximately 90,000 acres of mineral rights. The Company manages its land based upon its primary usage, and reviews its performance based upon two primary classifications - Orange Co. and Conservation and Environmental Resources. Financial results are presented based upon its three business segments (Orange Co., Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other Operations). 

Basis of Presentation
The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a condensed combined consolidated basis. These accompanying unaudited condensed combined consolidated interim financial statements, which are referred to herein as the “Financial Statements", have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information. These Financial Statements do not include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements and, accordingly, certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, have been condensed or omitted in accordance with SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015,2016, as filed with the SEC on December 10, 2015.6, 2016.
The Financial Statements presented in this Form 10-Q are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, such Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP applicable to interim periods.
Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2016.2017. All intercompany transactions and account balances between the consolidated and combined businesses have been eliminated.

Effective February 28, 2015, the Company completed the merger (“Merger”) with 734 Citrus Holdings, LLC (“Silver Nip Citrus”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with 734 Sub, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Silver Nip Citrus and, solely with respect to certain sections thereof, the equity holders of Silver Nip Citrus. The ownership of Silver Nip Citrus was held by 734 Agriculture, 74.89%, Mr. Clay Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, 5% and an entity controlled by Mr. Clay Wilson owned, 20.11%.

As the Company and Silver Nip Citrus were under common control at the time of the Merger, it is required under U.S. GAAP to account for this common control acquisition in a manner similar to the pooling of interest method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, Alico's Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 reflect Silver Nip Citrus’ historical carryover basis in the assets and liabilities instead of reflecting the fair market value of the assets and liabilities. The Company has also retrospectively recast its financial statements to combine the operating results of the Company and Silver Nip Citrus from the date common control began, November 19, 2013.

Correction of an Immaterial Error in Prior Periods

In March 2016, the Company identified a $1,494,000 error related to an understatement of income tax expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. As previously noted, the Company and Silver Nip Citrus were under common control at the time of the Merger and, accordingly, we retrospectively recast our financial statements to combine the operating results of the Company and Silver Nip Citrus from the date common control began, November 19, 2013. Silver Nip Citrus had a September 30 year end for tax reporting purposes at the time of the Merger. The tax returns for the year ended September 30, 2014 and the short period ended February 28, 2015, date of the Merger, were prepared and filed in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The Company reviewed the as-filed tax returns in an effort to true-up the tax provision. During this review, the Company identified the error that impacts the Silver Nip Citrus financial condition and results of operations as of and for the period ended June 30, 2014.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, we evaluated the materiality of the error from quantitative and qualitative perspectives. We concluded that the error was immaterial to the Company's prior period interim and annual consolidated and combined financial statements, and, accordingly


no amendments to previously filed interim or annual periodic reports were required. Consequently, the Company will adjust for this error by revising its fiscal 2014 financial statements, when presented in future filings, by increasing income tax expense and its long term deferred tax liability by $1,494,000. The Company recognized the cumulative effect of the error on periods prior to those presented herein by increasing long term deferred tax liability and reducing additional paid-in capital by $1,494,000 for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015. The pre-merger net earnings of Silver Nip Citrus are classified as additional paid-in capital in the accompanying Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015.

Change in Fiscal Year of Subsidiary

Silver Nip Citrus’ fiscal year end was previously June 30, and their financial condition and results of operations as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were included in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Effective October 1, 2015, the fiscal year end for Silver Nip Citrus was changed to September 30 to reflect that of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 now includes the financial condition of Silver Nip Citrus as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, respectively, and the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 now includes the Silver Nip Citrus results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact of this change was not material to the Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements with an approximate $493,000 decrease in total assets and an approximate net loss of $594,000 for the transition period related to this change included in Stockholders' Equity at October 1, 2015.

Segments

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 280 as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s CODM assessed performance and allocated resources based on five operating segments: Citrus Groves, Improved Farmland, Ranch and Conservation, Agricultural Supply Chain Management and Other Operations. Effective October 1, 2015, the former Citrus Groves and Agricultural Supply Chain Management segments have been combined in Orange Co. and, as a result of the disposition of the Company's sugarcane land in fiscal year 2015, it is no longer involved in sugarcane, and the Improved Farmland segment is no longer material to its business and has been combined in Other Operations. The Company’s CODM will assess performance and allocate resources based on three operating segments: Orange Co., Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other Operations. Disclosures related to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 have been revised to be consistent with the current operating segment structure.

Principles of Consolidation

The Financial Statements include the accounts of Alico, Inc. and the accounts of all the subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is held by the Company. The Financial Statements represent the Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and Statements of Cash Flows of Alico, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Under U.S. GAAP, consolidation is generally required for investments of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of an investee, except when control is not held by the majority owner. The Company’s subsidiaries include: Alico Land Development, Inc., Alico-Agri, Ltd., Alico Plant World, LLC, Alico Fruit Company, LLC, Alico Citrus Nursery, LLC, Alico Chemical Sales, LLC, 734 Citrus Holdings LLC and subsidiaries, Alico Fresh Fruit LLC, Alico Skink Mitigation, LLC and Citree Holdings 1, LLC. The Company considers the criteria established under FASB ASC 810, “Consolidations” in its consolidation process. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the accompanying Financial Statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses and cash flows during the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates based upon


future events. The Company evaluates estimates on an ongoing basis. The estimates are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical experience, the experience and judgment of the Company’s management and various other specific assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. The Company evaluates its assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in the Company’s evaluations.



Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Affiliate
 
The Financial Statements include all assets and liabilities of the less-than-100%-owned affiliate the Company controls, Citree Holdings I, LLC (“Citree”). Accordingly, the Company has recorded a noncontrolling interest in the equity of such entity. Citree had a net loss of $59,568$15,848 and $16,018 for the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which 51% is attributable to the Company. Citree did not have any income or loss for the nine months ended June 30, 2015.

Business Combinations
 
The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in FASB ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations”, which requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize the fair value of all assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and establishes the acquisition date as the fair value measurement point. Accordingly, the Company recognizes assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, including contingent assets and liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, based on fair value estimates as of the date of acquisition. In accordance with FASB ASC No. 805, the Company recognizes and measures goodwill, if any, as of the acquisition date, as the excess of the fair value of the consideration paid over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired.

When the Company acquires a business from an entity under common control, whereby the companies are ultimately controlled by the same party, or parties, both before and after the transaction, it is treated similarly to the pooling of interest method of accounting. The assets and liabilities are recorded at the transferring entity’s historical cost instead of reflecting the fair market value of assets and liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted

Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest” (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-.03") requiring debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance clarifying that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit and other revolving debt arrangements may be deferred and presented as an asset. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively on October 1, 2015 in accordance with the effective date.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-17, "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17"), which will require entities to present all deferred tax liabilities and assets as non-current on the balance sheet instead of separating deferred taxes into current and non-current amounts. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early application is permitted. The standard can be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets, orCompany adopted this guidance retrospectively to all periods presented.on October 1, 2015.  As this standard impactsimpacted presentation only, the adoption of ASU 2015-17 isdid not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.our Financial Statements upon adoption.

Not Adopted

In January 2016,2017, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-01 “Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognitionan Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01 that provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and Measurementactivities (set) is a business. Under the new guidance, an entity first determines whether substantially all of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" (“ASU 2016-01”). This guidance retains the current accounting for classifying and measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments to be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. The guidance also changes the accounting for investments without a readily determinable fair value and that do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value. A policy election can be made for these investments, whereby estimated fair value may be measured at cost, and adjusted in subsequent periods for any impairment or changes in observable prices of identical or similar investments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, and it will become effective for Alico at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." This guidance will require entities that enter into leases as a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements, and it will become effective for Alico at the beginning of its first quarter of fiscal 2020.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)." The amendment clarifies the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations as contained in ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance includes indicators to assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to a customer. ASU No. 2016-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption of ASU No. 2016-08 is permitted but not before December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its consolidated financial statements.

Seasonality
 
The Company is primarily engaged in the production of fruit for sale to citrus markets, which is of a seasonal nature, and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations.

Note 4. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Orange-Co
On December 2, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of certain citrus and related assets of Orange-Co, LP (“Orange-Co”), including 51% of the ownership interests of Citree, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement, which is referred to as the Orange-Co Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2014. The assets the Company purchased include approximately 20,263 acres of citrus groves in DeSoto and Charlotte Counties, Florida, which comprise one of the largest contiguous citrus grove properties in the state of Florida. Total assets acquired were approximately $277,792,000, net of approximately $2,060,000 in cash acquired and approximately $4,838,000 in fair value attributable to noncontrolling interest in Citree, including: (i) approximately $147,500,000 in initial cash consideration funded from the proceeds of the sugarcane disposition and new term loan debt; (ii) up to $7,500,000 in additional cash consideration to be released from escrow in equal parts, subject to certain limitations, on December 1, 2015 and June 1, 2016; (iii) the refinancing of Orange-Co’s outstanding debt including approximately $92,290,000 in term loan debt and a working capital facility of approximately $27,857,000 and (iv) the assumption of certain other liabilities totaling approximately $4,705,000. On December 1, 2014, Alico deposited an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued by Rabo Agrifinance, Inc. in the aggregate amount of $7,500,000 into an escrow account to fund the additional cash consideration. On December 1, 2015 and June 1, 2016, the Company paid $3,750,000 of additional consideration on the Orange-Co acquisition, as contemplated by the Orange-Co Purchase Agreement. The Company's $3,750,000 irrevocable letter of credit securing the final payment of the additional consideration was terminated following the final cash consideration payment.
This acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests is recognized as goodwill. All goodwill recognized will be deductible for income tax purposes.

On the acquisition date, the initial accounting for the business combination was not complete, and the total assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on preliminary information and were subject to adjustment as new information was obtained. As a result of refinements to the preliminary purchase price allocation, an adjustment to the fair value of total assets acquired resulted in an increase of approximately $1,000,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015 the Company incurred approximately $3,239,000 in professional and legal costs in connection with the Orange-Co acquisition. There were approximately $202,000 in costs incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2015. These costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
The following table summarizes the final allocation of the acquisition cost to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition, based on their estimated fair values:

Sugarcane Land
On November 21, 2014, the Company completed the sale of approximately 36,000 acres of land used for sugarcane production and land leasing in Hendry County, Florida to Global Ag Properties, LLC (“Global”) for approximately $97,900,000 in cash. It had previously leased approximately 30,600 of these acres to United States Sugar Corporation (the “USSC Lease”). The USSC Lease was assigned to Global in conjunction with the land sale.

Net cash proceeds from the sugarcane land sale of approximately $97,126,000 were deposited with a Qualified Intermediary in anticipation of the Orange-Co asset acquisition in a tax deferred like-kind exchange, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031.

The sales price is subject to post-closing adjustments over a ten (10) year period. The Company realized a gain of approximately $42,753,000 on the sale. Initially, $29,140,000 of the gain was deferred due to the Company’s continuing involvement in the property pursuant to a post-closing agreement and the potential price adjustments. The deferral represents the Company’s estimate of the maximum exposure to loss as a result of the continuing involvement. A net gain of approximately $13,613,000 was recognized at the time of the sale and is recognized in Other (expense) income in the Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended June 30, 2015.



In May 2016 and 2015, the Company made payments of $1,702,000 and $1,347,000, respectively, to Global pursuant to the sales contract. The amount of USSC’s lease is tied to the market price of sugar, and the Company's payment is required annually in advance, to supplement the lease paid by USSC in the event that the sugar prices are below certain thresholds. The 2015 sugar price remained below the threshold and therefore none of the amount advanced in 2015 will be returned to the Company. Approximately $1,587,000 of advance payments is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016, and the Company has recognized approximately $355,000 in interest expense and approximately $(284,000) of the deferred gain for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and approximately $1,051,000 in interest expense and approximately $618,000 of the deferred gain for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

As a result of the disposition of its sugarcane land, the Company is no longer involved in sugarcane operations and, as of November 21, 2014, the Improved Farmland segment was no longer material to our business; however, the sugarcane operation has not been classified as a discontinued operation due to the post-closing adjustments, amongst other involvement, as described above. Effective October 1, 2015, the Improved Farmland reporting segment is now included in the Other Operations reporting segment.

Note 5. Common Control Acquisition

The Company completed the Merger with Silver Nip Citrus on February 28, 2015 (see Note 1, “Basis of Presentation”). Silver Nip Citrus owns approximately 7,400 acres of land, consisting primarily of citrus groves, in seven Florida counties (Polk, Hardee, Osceola, Martin, Highlands, Charlotte and Collier). Substantially all of its revenues derive from citrus operations. As the Company and Silver Nip Citrus were under common control at the time of the Merger, the results of operations have been combined for the Company and Silver Nip Citrus from the date common control began, November 19, 2013.

Business Overview

Business Description

Alico, Inc. (the "Company") generates operating revenues primarily from the sale of its citrus products and cattle ranching operations. The Company operates as three business segments and substantially all of its operating revenues are generated in the United States. During the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2016, Alico generated operating revenues of approximately $46,853,000 and $139,346,000, respectively, income$17,445,000, loss from operations of approximately $10,936,000 and $25,043,000, respectively,$1,035,000, and net incomeloss attributable to common stockholders of approximately $4,681,000 and $10,404,000, respectively.$1,735,000. Cash provided byused in operations was approximately $34,185,000$17,437,000 during the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2016.

Business Segments

Operating segments are defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") - Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") ASC Topic 280, "Segment Reporting" as components of public entities that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate financial information is available and which is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015, the Company’sThe Company's CODM assessedassesses performance and allocatedallocates resources based on fivethree operating segments: Citrus Groves, Improved Farmland, RanchOrange Co., Conservation and Conservation, Agricultural Supply Chain ManagementEnvironmental Resources and Other Operations.
 
Effective October 1, 2015, which is the first day of Alico's fiscal year 2016, theThe Company operates three business segments related to its various land holdings, as follows:
 
Orange Co. includes activities related to planting, owning, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves in order to produce fruit for sale to fresh and processed citrus markets, including activities related to the purchase and resale of fruit, as well as, to value-added services, which include contracting for the harvesting, marketing and hauling of citrus.



Conservation and Environmental Resources includes activities related to cattle grazing, sod, native plant and animal sales, leasing, management and/or conservation of unimproved native pasture land.



Other Operations consists of activities related to rock mining royalties, oil exploration and other insignificant lines of business. Also included are activities related to owning and/or leasing improved farmland. Improved farmland is acreage that has been converted, or is permitted to be converted, from native pasture and which may have various improvements including irrigation, drainage and roads.

The former Citrus Groves and Agricultural Supply Chain Management segments have been combined in Orange Co. and, as a result of the disposition of its sugarcane land in fiscal year 2015, the Company is no longer involved in sugarcane and the Improved Farmland segment is no longer material to its business and has been combined in Other Operations. 

Change in Fiscal Year of Subsidiary

As Alico, Inc. and 734 Citrus Holdings, LLC ("Silver Nip Citrus") were under common control at the time of the Merger, it is required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") to account for this common control acquisition in a manner similar to the pooling of interest method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the Company's Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 reflect Silver Nip Citrus’ historical carryover basis in the assets and liabilities, instead of reflecting the fair market value of the assets and liabilities. Alico has also retrospectively recast its financial statements to combine the operating results of the Company and Silver Nip Citrus from the date common control began, November 19, 2013.

Silver Nip Citrus’ fiscal year end was June 30. Their financial condition and results of operations as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were included in the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Effective October 1, 2015, the fiscal year end for Silver Nip Citrus was changed to September 30 to reflect that of the Company. Accordingly, the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 now includes the financial condition of Silver Nip Citrus as of June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015. The Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 now includes the Silver Nip Citrus results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The impact of this change was not material to the Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements, with an approximate $493,000 decrease in total assets and an approximate net loss of $594,000 for the transition period related to this change included in Stockholders' Equity at September 30, 2015.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
The discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations is based upon its unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires it to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Alico bases these estimates on historical experience, available current market information and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, the Company evaluates the results of these estimates on an on-going basis. Management’s estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
There have been no significant changes during this reporting period to the policies and disclosures set forth in Part II, Item 7 in Alico's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2015.2016.

See Note 1,1. "Basis of Presentation - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,"Presentation" to the condensed combined consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q, for a detailed description of recent accounting pronouncements.

Alico primarily sells its Early and Mid-Season and Valencia oranges to processors that convert the majority of the citrus crop into orange juice. The processors generally buy citrus on a pound solids basis, which is the measure of the soluble solids (sugars and acids) contained in one box of fruit. Fresh Fruit is generally sold to packing houses that purchase citrus on a per box basis. Purchase and resale of fruit relates to the buying of fruit from third parties and generally reselling this fruit to processors. These revenues and costs vary based on the number of boxes bought and sold. Other revenues consist of third-party grove caretaking and the contracting for harvesting and hauling of citrus.

The Company's operating expenses consist primarily of cost of sales and harvesting and hauling costs. Cost of sales represents the cost of maintaining Alico's citrus groves for the preceding calendar year and does not vary in relation to production. Harvesting and hauling costs represent the costs of bringing citrus product to processors, and varies based upon the number of boxes produced. Other expenses include the period costs of third-party grove caretaking, and the contracting for harvesting and hauling activities.



The decrease in citrus groveoperating revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2015, was primarily due to the harvesting of approximately 1,523,000 and 1,183,000 fewer boxes of Early and Mid-Season fruit and lower pound solids per box on higher price per pound solids as compared toa decrease of 153,000 boxes in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The resale of third party fruitfruit. The early and mid-season revenue decreased 96,000 bo$261,000 due to xes for282,000 fewer boxes harvested


or 1,491,000 fewer pound solids sold, offset by a $0.50 price per pound solid increase. These results were significantly impacted by timing as our harvest activities commenced later this harvest year. Additionally, the three months ended June 30, 2016 and increased 9,000 boxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2016, driving the respective revenue fluctuations. The increasedecrease in other revenues relates to an additional 169,000 boxes contracted forthe elimination of contract harvest and haul for a third party as compared to thein ninethe three months ended June 30, 2015December 31, 2016.

The USDA, in its JulyJanuary 12, 2016 final2017 Citrus Crop Forecast for the 2015/20162016-17 harvest season, reportedindicated that it expects the final Florida orange crop will decrease from 96,800,000approximately 81,000,000 boxes for the 2014/20152015-16 crop year to 81,500,000approximately 71,000,000 boxes for the 2015/20162016-17 crop year, a decrease of 15.8%approximately 12.3%. As of June 30, 2016, theThe Company has completedrevised its 2015/2017 production estimate at December 31, 2016 harvest and finished at 88.1%expects its 2017 crop to be approximately 90% of its 2014/2015 production. The2016 production, or 8,300,000 boxes. These declines in boxes harvested, pound solids produced and pound solids per box are believed to be mainly driven by growing season fluctuations in production which may have beenbe attributable to various factors, including extreme weather patterns such as higher than normal temperatures during the Early and Mid-season harvest impacting all varieties and El Nino impacting the pound solids per box of the Valencia harvest. Other factors include changes in weather impacting bloom, horticultural practices and the effects of diseases and pests, including Citrus Greening. The industry and the Company both continue to experience premature fruit drop as well as smaller-sized fruit as a resultand smaller sized fruit. The Company continues to expect and has seen in its first quarter results that the forecasted 12.3% decrease in the size of the factors described above. Additionally, on March 4, 2016,statewide crop will cause the Florida Commissioner of Agriculture exercised his authority underprice per pound solids for fiscal year 2017 to be significantly above the Emergency Exemptions provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act to allow use of certain foliar bactericide applications. Florida growers can use these products until the Environmental Protection Agency completes its review of a specific exemption petition submitted by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. These bactericides are approved and successfully applied on other permanent crops throughout the United States. Orange Co. began application of these bactericides to all of its groves in Aprilprice for fiscal year 2016. The Company is encouraged by the potential of foliar bactericide treatments to enhance the overall health of citrus trees and thereby mitigate the impact of citrus greening.

The decrease in cost of sales for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2016 compared to three months ended June 30,December 31, 2015 primarily relates to 1,685,000approximately 349,000 fewer boxes sold in the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2016. Per box harvest and hauling costs of $2.94$3.24 for the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2016, are approximately $0.07$0.37 greater than the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2015, due primarily to increased harvest labor costs. The decrease in purchase and resale of fruit and other expenses relates to decreased purchase and resale activity of 96,000approximately 153,000 boxes and reducedelimination of contract harvest and haul activityin the three months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended June 30,December 31, 2015.

The decrease in cost of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 compared to nine months ended June 30, 2015 relates to a decrease in fiscal year 2016 growing costs as compared to 2015 growing costs of $7,368,000. Harvest and haul expenses decreased for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 due primarily to fewer boxes harvested. Per box harvest and hauling costs of $2.83 for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 are approximately $0.14 greater than the nine months ended June 30, 2015, due primarily to increased harvest labor costs. The increase in other expenses relates to increased contract harvest and haul for a third party.

Ranch

The increasedecrease in revenues from the sale of calves for the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2015, is due to the increasedecrease in pounds sold, partially offset byand a decrease in price per pound. The increase in pounds sold in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016December 31, 2015 was due to timing of calf sales, as the Company held an additional 1,000 calves in inventory at September 30, 2015, which have historically been sold to market in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. Alico sold 17735 calves and 1,519 calves in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold 726 culls and sold no culls in the three months ended June 30, 2015. In the nine months ended June 30, 2016 the Company sold 726 culls compared to 452 sold in the nine months ended June 30, 2015, partially offset by a decrease in price per pound. The increase in Ranch gross profit for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015, relates primarily to the increase in pounds sold, offset by a decrease in price per pound.December 31, 2016.

In December 2012, the SFWMDSouth Florida Water Management District ("SFWMD") issued a solicitation request for projects to be considered for the Northern Everglades Payment for Environmental Services Program. In March 2013, the Company submitted its response proposing a dispersed water management project on a portion of its ranch land.

On December 11, 2014, the SFWMD approved a contract with the Company. The contract term is eleven years and allows up to one year for implementation (design, permitting, construction and construction completion certification) and ten years of operation, whereby the Company will provide water retention services. Payment for these services includes an amount not to exceed $4,000,000 of reimbursement for implementation. In addition, it provides for an annual fixed payment of $12,000,000 for operations and maintenance costs, as long as the project is in compliance with the contract and subject to annual Board approval of funding. The contract specifies that the Board has to approve the payments annually and there can be no assurance that it will approve the annual fixed payments. The Florida budget for the state’s 2016/2017 fiscal year was recentlyas approved and included funding for the Program. Permitting is currently underway with construction to follow immediately upon receipt of permits. It is anticipated that payments under the contract should commence in fiscal year 2017. Operating expenses were approximately $931,000$458,000 and $571,000$914,000 for the


three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $2,100,000 and $1,590,000 for the nine months ended June 30,December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Management believes that a combination of cash-on-hand, cash generated from operations and availability under the Company's lines of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to service the principal and interest payments on its indebtedness and will satisfy working capital requirements and capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months and over the long term. Alico has a $70,000,000 working capital line of credit, of which approximately $59,800,000$37,800,000 is available for general use as of June 30,December 31, 2016, and a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit, all of which $25,000,000 is available for general use as of June 30,December 31, 2016 (see Note 64. “Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" to the accompanying Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements). If the Company pursues significant growth opportunities in the future, it could have a material adverse impact on its cash balances and may need to finance such activities by drawing down monies under its lines of credit or by obtaining additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the Company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. Any inability to obtain additional financing could impact Alico's ability to pursue different growth opportunities.

The factors contributing to the decrease in net incomeloss for the ninethree months ended June 30,December 31, 2016, versus the same period of the prior year, are discussed in “Condensed Combined Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.Operations. The gain on sale of property and equipment in the nine months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily due to the recognition of approximately $13,613,000 associated with the sugarcane land sale as discussed in Note 4. "Acquisitions and Dispositions" to the Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Statements.

Due to the seasonal nature of Alico's business, working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of its fiscal year. Cash flows from operating activities typically improve in the second and third fiscal quarters as its citrus crops are harvested.
