NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

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 122,000 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~~Alico Citrus (formerly called "Orange Co.") and Conservation and Environmental Resources. Financial results are presented based upon its three business ~~segments (Orange Co.,~~segments: Alico Citrus, Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other ~~Operations).~~Operations.

Basis of Presentation

The Company has prepared the accompanying financial statements on a condensed consolidated basis. These accompanying unaudited condensed 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, 2016, as filed with the SEC on December 6, 2016.

The Financial Statements presented in this Form 10-Q are ~~unaudited; however,~~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, 2017. All intercompany transactions and account balances between the consolidated businesses have been eliminated.

Segments

Operating segments are defined in the criteria established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB 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. The Company’s CODM ~~will assess~~assesses performance and ~~allocate~~allocates resources based on three operating segments: ~~Orange Co.,~~Alico Citrus, Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other Operations.

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations 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 net income of approximately $72,585 and a net loss of ~~$15,848 and $16,018~~$59,568 for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ respectively, of which 51% is attributable to the Company.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for its business acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting as indicated in FASB ASC 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.~~date. 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 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,~~January 2017, the FASB issued ASU ~~No. 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation~~2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition 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. The adoption of this new guidance did not impact the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows for any periods presented.

~~Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes~~

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 Company adopted this guidance retrospectively on October 1, 2015. As this standard impacted presentation only, the adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have an impact on our Financial Statements upon adoption.

~~Not Adopted~~

~~In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01~~Business" that provides guidance to assist entities with evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities (set) is a business. Under the new guidance, an entity first determines whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the set is not a business. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The ASU will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, which simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment. The updated guidance eliminates Step 2 of the impairment test, which requires entities to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, determined in Step 1. This guidance will become effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. We will adopt this guidance using a prospective approach. Earlier adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): The ASU clarifies that ASC 610-20 applies to the derecognition of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets unless other specific guidance applies. As a result, it will not apply to the derecognition of businesses, nonprofit activities, or financial assets (including equity method investments), or to contracts with customers. The ASU also clarifies that an in substance nonfinancial asset is an asset or group of assets for which substantially all of the fair value consists of nonfinancial assets and the group or subsidiary is not a business.

In addition, transfers of nonfinancial assets to another entity in exchange for a noncontrolling ownership interest in that entity will be accounted for under ASC 610-20, removing specific guidance on such partial exchanges from ASC 845, Nonmonetary Transactions.

As a result, guidance specific to real estate sales in ASC 360-20 will be eliminated. As such, sales and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets.

The ASU will also impact the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets (including in substance real estate). When an entity transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, the entity will measure the retained interest at fair value. This will result in full gain/loss recognition upon the sale of a controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset. Current guidance generally prohibits gain recognition on the retained interest.

The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years and early adoption is permitted. The ASU will be applied prospectively to any transaction occurring from the date of adoption.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, which clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. ASU 2017-09 will reduce diversity in practice and result in fewer changes to the terms of an award being accounted for as modifications. Under ASU 2017-09, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if the award's fair value, vesting conditions and classification as an equity or liability instrument are the same immediately before and after the change. ASU 2017-09 will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date. The guidance is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying Financial Statements for consistent presentation to the current period. These reclassifications had no impact on ~~working capital,~~ net income, equity or cash flows as previously ~~reported.~~reported; however, working capital decreased by approximately $1,184,000 at September 30, 2016.

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. Historically, the second and third quarters of our fiscal year generally produce the majority of our annual revenue, and working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. The results of the reported periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

Note 4. Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit

Debt Refinancing

The Company refinanced its outstanding debt obligations on December 3, 2014 in connection with the Orange-Co acquisition. These credit facilities initially included $125,000,000 in fixed interest rate term loans (“Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans”), $57,500,000 in variable interest rate term loans (“Met Variable-Rate Term Loans”), and a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit (“RLOC”) with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and New England Life Insurance Company (collectively “Met”), and a $70,000,000 working capital line of credit (“WCLC”) with Rabo Agrifinance, Inc. (“Rabo”).

The term loans and RLOC are secured by real property. ~~On November 10, 2016, Met issued a Partial Release of Mortgage removing their lien on approximately 8,640 acres of ranch land in Hendry County, Florida.~~ The ~~remaining~~ security for the term loans and RLOC consists of approximately 38,200 gross acres of citrus groves and 5,762 gross acres of ranch land. The WCLC is collateralized by the Company’s current assets and certain other personal property owned by the Company.

The term loans, collectively, are subject to quarterly principal payments of $2,281,250, and mature November 1, 2029. The Met Fixed-Rate Term Loans bear interest at 4.15% per annum, and the Met Variable-Rate Term Loans bear interest at a rate equal to 90 day LIBOR plus ~~150~~165 basis points (the “LIBOR spread”). The LIBOR spread ~~is subject to adjustment~~was adjusted by the lender on May 1, 2017 and is subject to further adjustment every two years thereafter until maturity. Interest on the term loans is payable quarterly.

The interest rates on the Met Variable-Rate Term Loans were ~~2.39%~~2.82% per annum and 2.25% per annum as of ~~December 31, 2016~~June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

The Company may prepay up to $8,750,000 of the Met Fixed-Rate Term Loan principal annually without penalty, and any such prepayments may be applied to reduce subsequent mandatory principal payments. The maximum annual prepayment was made for calendar year 2015 and remains available to reduce future mandatory principal payments ~~when~~if the Company elects to do so. There ~~were~~have been no additional optional prepayments inafter calendar year ~~2016.~~2015. The Met Variable-Rate Term Loans may be prepaid without penalty.

The RLOC bears interest at a floating rate equal to 90 day LIBOR plus ~~150~~165 basis points, payable quarterly. The LIBOR spread ~~is subject to adjustment~~was adjusted by the lender on May 1, 2017 and is subject to further adjustment every two years thereafter. Outstanding principal, if any, is due at maturity on November 1, 2019. The RLOC is subject to an annual commitment fee of 25 basis points on the unused portion of the line of credit. The RLOC is available for funding general corporate needs. The variable interest rate was ~~2.39%~~2.82% per annum and 2.25% per annum as of ~~December 31, 2016~~June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. Availability under the RLOC was $25,000,000 as of ~~December 31, 2016.~~June 30, 2017.

The WCLC is a revolving credit facility and is available for funding working capital and general corporate requirements. The interest rate on the WCLC is based on the one month LIBOR, plus a spread, which is adjusted quarterly, based on the Company's debt service coverage ratio for the preceding quarter and can vary from 175 to 250 basis points. The rate is currently at LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The variable interest rate was ~~2.37%~~2.80% per annum and 2.27% per annum as of ~~December 31, 2016~~June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively. The WCLC agreement was amended on September 30, 2016, and the primary terms of the amendment were (1) an extension of the maturity to November 1, 2018, (2) the amendment permits the Company to provide a limited $8,000,000 guaranty of the Silver Nip Citrus debt (see below) and (3) the amendment makes debt service coverage a quarterly rather than annual covenant. There were no changes to the commitment amount or interest rate. Availability under the WCLC was approximately ~~$37,800,000~~$59,700,000 as of ~~December 31, 2016.~~June 30, 2017.

The WCLC is subject to a quarterly commitment fee on the daily unused availability under the line computed as the commitment amount less the aggregate of the outstanding loans and outstanding letters of credit. The commitment fee is adjusted quarterly based on Alico's debt service coverage ratio for the preceding quarter and can vary from a minimum of 20 basis points to a maximum of 30 basis points. Commitment fees to date have been charged at 20 basis points.

~~The~~There was no outstanding balance on the WCLC ~~was approximately $21,945,000~~ at ~~December 31, 2016.~~June 30, 2017. The WCLC agreement provides for Rabo to issue up to $20,000,000 in letters of credit on the Company’s behalf. As of ~~December 31, 2016,~~June 30, 2017, there was approximately $10,300,000 in outstanding letters of credit, which correspondingly reduced the Company's availability under the line of credit.

~~These~~The credit facilities ~~noted~~ above are subject to various covenants including the following financial covenants: (i) minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.10 to 1.00, (ii) tangible net worth of at least $160,000,000 increased annually by 10% of consolidated net income for the preceding year, or approximately $162,300,000 for the year ending September 30, 2017, (iii) minimum current ratio of 1.50 to 1.00, (iv) debt to total assets ratio not greater than .625 to 1.00, and, solely in the case of the WCLC, (v) a limit on capital expenditures of $30,000,000 per fiscal year. As of ~~December 31, 2016,~~June 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

The credit facilities also include a Met Life term loan collateralized by real estate owned by Citree (“Met Citree Loan”). This is a $5,000,000 credit facility that ~~initially bore~~bears interest at 5.49% per annum. An initial advance of $500,000 was made at closing on March 4, 2014. The loan agreement was amended to provide for an interim advance of $2,000,000 on September 17, 2015, and the interest rate was adjusted to 5.30% per annum at the time of the interim advance. The final $2,500,000 advance was funded on April 27, 2016 and the interest rate was adjusted to a fixed rate of 5.28% ~~for the remainder of the term.~~per annum. The loan matures February 5, 2029.

Silver Nip Citrus Debt

Silver Nip Citrus has various loans payable to Prudential Mortgage Capital Company, LLC (“Prudential”) as described below.

There are two fixed-rate term loans, with an original combined balance of $27,550,000, bearing interest at 5.35% per annum (“Pru Loans A & B”). Principal of $290,000 is payable quarterly, together with accrued interest. The Company may prepay up to $5,000,000 of principal without penalty. On February 15, 2015, Silver Nip Citrus made a prepayment of $750,000. The loans are collateralized by real estate in Collier, Hardee, Highlands, Martin, Osceola and Polk Counties, Florida and mature June 1, 2033.

Silver Nip Citrus entered into two additional fixed-rate term loans with Prudential to finance the acquisition of a 1,500 acre citrus grove on September 4, 2014. Each loan was in the original amount of $5,500,000. Principal of $55,000 per loan is payable quarterly, together with accrued interest. One loan bears interest at 3.85% per annum (“Pru Loan E”), while the other bears interest at 3.45% per annum (“Pru Loan F”). The interest rate on Pru Loan E is subject to adjustment on September 1, 2019 and every year thereafter until maturity. Both loans are collateralized by real estate in Charlotte County, Florida. Pru Note E matures September 1, 2021, and Pru Note F matures September 1, 2039.

The Silver Nip Citrus credit agreements were amended on December 1, 2016. The primary terms of the amendments were (1) the Company provided a limited $8,000,000 guaranty of the Silver Nip debt, (2) the limited personal guarantees provided by George Brokaw, Remy Trafelet and Clayton Wilson prior to the Company’s merger with Silver Nip Citrus, and also totaling $8,000,000, were released and (3) the consolidated current ratio covenant requirement, measured on an annual basis, was reduced from 1.50 to 1.00 to 1:00 to 1:00. Silver Nip Citrus was in compliance with the current ratio covenant as of September 30, 2016, the most recent measurement date.

Other Modifications of Rabo and Prudential Credit Agreements

~~During the three months ended December 31,~~In February 2015 Rabo agreed, subject to certain conditions, that the Company may loan Silver Nip Citrus up to $7,000,000 on a revolving basis for cash management purposes. These advances would be funded from either cash on hand or draws on the Company’s WCLC.

Silver Nip Citrus has provided a $7,000,000 limited guaranty and security agreement granting Rabo a security interest in crops, accounts receivable, inventory and certain other assets.

This modification required the amendment of various Prudential and Rabo loan documents and mortgages.

Note 5. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share for Alico's common stock is calculated by dividing net income attributable to Alico, Inc. common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is similarly calculated, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed issuance of common shares issuable under equity-based compensation plans in accordance with the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such common shares would have an anti-dilutive impact.

For the three and nine months ended ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2017 and 2016, ~~and 2015,~~ basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

Note 6. Segment Information

Segments

Operating segments are defined in 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 are evaluated regularly by the Company’s CODM in deciding how to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s CODM ~~will assess~~assesses performance and ~~allocate~~allocates resources based on three operating segments: ~~Orange Co.,~~Alico Citrus, Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other Operations.

The Company manages its land based upon its primary usage, and reviews its performance based upon two primary classifications: ~~Orange Co.~~Alico Citrus and Conservation and Environmental Resources. In addition, Other Operations include leasing mines and oil extraction rights to third parties, as well as leasing improved farmland to third parties.

Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Goods and services produced by these segments are sold to wholesalers and processors in the United States who prepare the products for consumption. The Company evaluates the segments’ performance based on direct margins (gross profit) from operations before general and administrative expenses, interest expense, other income (expense) and income ~~taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses.~~taxes. All intercompany transactions between the segments have been eliminated.

Stock Option Grant

A stock option grant of 300,000 options in the case of Mr. Trafelet and 225,000 options in the case of each of Messrs. Slack and Brokaw (collectively, the “Option Grants”) were granted on December 31, 2016. The option price was set at $27.15, the closing price on December 31, 2016. The Option Grants will vest as follows: (i) 25% of the options will vest if the price of the Company’s common stock during a consecutive 20-trading day period exceeds $60.00; (ii) 25% of the options will vest if such price exceeds $75.00; (iii) 25% of the options will vest if such price exceeds $90.00; and (iv) 25% of the options will vest if such price exceeds $105.00. If the applicable stock price hurdles have not been achieved by (A) the second anniversary of the Executive’s termination of employment, if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to death or disability, (B) the date that is 18 months following the Executive’s termination of employment, if the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, by the Executive with good reason, or due to the Executive’s retirement, or (C) the date of the termination of the Executive’s employment for any other reason, then any unvested options will be forfeited. In addition, if the applicable stock price hurdles have not been achieved by the fifth anniversary of the grant date (or the fourth anniversary of the grant date, in the case of the tranche described in clause (i) above), then any unvested options will be forfeited. The Option Grants will also become vested to the extent that the applicable stock price hurdles are satisfied in connection with a change in control of the Company.

The fair value of the Option Grants was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the option valuation model and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from different time-frames for the various market conditions being met.



Expected Volatility	32.19	%
Expected Term (in years)	2.6 - 4.0
Risk Free Rate	2.45	%

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the Option Grants was $3.53. There were no additional stock options granted, exercised or forfeited for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017.

Stock compensation expense related to the options totaled approximately $205,000 and $411,000 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and as of June 30, 2017 , respectively, and there was approximately $2,235,000 of total unrecognized stock

compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation for the Option Grants. Total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.8 years.

Business Overview

Business Description

Alico, Inc. (the "Company" or "Alico") 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 ~~December 31, 2016,~~June 30, 2017, Alico generated operating revenues of approximately ~~$17,445,000, loss~~$51,518,000 and $125,163,000, respectively, income from operations of approximately ~~$1,035,000,~~$11,299,000 and $21,381,000, respectively, and net ~~loss~~income attributable to common stockholders of approximately ~~$1,735,000.~~$5,479,000 and $9,577,000, respectively. Cash ~~used in operations~~provided by operating activities was approximately ~~$17,437,000~~$28,900,000 during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~December 31, 2016.~~June 30, 2017.

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. The Company's CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on three operating segments: ~~Orange~~Alico Citrus (formerly called "Orange Co."), Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other Operations.

The Company operates three segments related to its various land holdings, as follows:

~~Orange Co.~~Alico Citrus 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~~and 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.

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 consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires itmanagement 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, 2016.

See Note 1. "Basis of Presentation" to the condensed 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 operating~~Alico Citrus’ completed its 2016-17 harvest season during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Operating revenues for the three months ended ~~December 31, 2016, as~~June 30, 2017 increased compared to the three months ended ~~December 31, 2015, was primarily~~June 30, 2016 as a result of timing of fruit sales, increased pound solids per box and higher prices. Operating revenues decreased for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2016 due to decreased box production. The decrease in box production was partially offset by increased pound solids per box and higher prices. The decrease in revenues from Purchase and Resale of Fruit and Other revenues for both the ~~harvesting of fewer boxes of Early~~three and ~~Mid-Season fruit and a~~ ~~decrease of 153,000 boxes in~~nine months ended June 30, 2017 reflects the ~~resale of~~Company’s decision to reduce third party ~~fruit. The early~~fruit purchases and ~~mid-season revenue decreased $261,000 due to~~ ~~282,000~~ ~~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 decrease in other revenues relates to the elimination of contract harvest and haul for adiscontinue third party in ~~the three months ended December 31, 2016~~.harvesting and hauling activities.

The USDA, in its ~~January~~July 12, 2017 Citrus Crop Forecast for the 2016-17 harvest season, indicated that the Florida orange crop ~~will decrease~~finished at approximately 68,700,000 boxes which was down from approximately ~~81,000,000~~81,700,000 boxes for the 2015-16 crop year, ~~to approximately 71,000,000 boxes for the 2016-17 crop year,~~ a decrease of approximately ~~12.3%~~15.9%. The ~~Company has revised its 2017~~Company’s 2016-17 production ~~estimate at December 31, 2016 and expects its 2017~~totaled approximately 7,587,000 boxes representing a decrease of approximately 17.8% from the 2015-16 crop ~~to be approximately 90% of 2016 production, or 8,300,000 boxes.~~year. These declines are believed to ~~be mainly driven by growing season fluctuations in production which may~~ be attributable to various factors, including changes in weather impacting bloom, horticultural practices and the effects of Citrus Greening. The industry and the Company continue to experience premature fruit drop and smaller sized ~~fruit.~~fruit a a result of these factors. The industry and Company ~~continues to expect and has seen in its first quarter results that the forecasted 12.3% decrease in the size of the statewide crop will cause the price~~experienced higher prices per pound ~~solids~~solid for fiscal year 2017 compared to ~~be significantly above the price for~~ fiscal year ~~2016.~~2016 as a result of the statewide decrease in crop production, and the Company benefited from increased pound solids per box in fiscal year 2017.

~~The decrease in~~Our cost of sales for the three months ended ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2017 increased largely due to timing as a higher proportion of our annual sales occurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016. Our cost of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 decreased by approximately $2,700,000 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2016 despite the challenges of unusual weather and disease; however, the cost of production per pound solid increased 15.6% to $1.41 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $1.22 in the same period last year because of lower volumes supporting the cost base.

Harvesting and hauling costs decreased for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 compared to three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2015 primarily relates~~June 30, 2016 due to ~~approximately 349,000 fewer~~a reduction in boxes ~~sold~~harvested and the locations of the boxes harvested relative to processing plants in the ~~three months ended December 31, 2016.

Harvesting and hauling costs of ~~$3.24~~$2.72 per box and $2.82 per box for the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2016,~~June 30, 2017, respectively, are approximately ~~$0.37~~$0.16 less and $0.11 greater than the three and nine months ended ~~December 31, 2015, due primarily to increased harvest labor costs.~~June 30, 2016.

The Company owns and operated two citrus nurseries, one in Gainesville, Florida and the other in Arcadia, Florida. Effective April 28, 2017, the Company commenced a phase out of the Gainesville nursery operations and began consolidation of nursery operations at its Arcadia location. The Company recognized approximately ~~153,000 boxes~~$1,200,000 of transition and ~~elimination of contract harvest and haul activity~~ inventory spoilage expenses which are primarily responsible for the increase in other expenses for the three months ended ~~December 31, 2016 as compared~~June 30, 2017.

In December 2012, the South 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~~2017/2018 fiscal year as approved included funding for the Program. Permitting is currently underway with construction to follow immediately upon receipt of permits. The Company has not recognized any revenue to date from the contract. Operating expenses were approximately ~~$458,000~~$373,000 and ~~$914,000~~$931,000 for the three months ended ~~December 31,~~June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and ~~2015,~~approximately $1,475,000 and $2,100,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 ~~$37,800,000~~$59,700,000 is available for general use as of ~~December 31, 2016,~~June 30, 2017, and a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit, all of which is available for general use as of ~~December 31, 2016~~June 30, 2017 (see Note 4. “Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit" to the accompanying Condensed 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 the Company 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.
