NOTES TO CONDENSED 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 ~~122,000~~121,000 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 - Alico Citrus (formerly Orange Co.) and Conservation and Environmental Resources. Financial results are presented based upon its three business segments (Alico Citrus, Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other 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 Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, as filed with the SEC on December 11, 2017.

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, 2018. 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 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: Alico Citrus (formerly Orange Co.), 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. 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 Topic 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.

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 net income, equity, cash flows or working capital.

Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary

The Financial Statements include all assets and liabilities of the less-than-100%-owned subsidiary 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 ~~$16,219~~approximately $33,000 and ~~$15,848~~had net income of approximately $104,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and ~~2016,~~a net loss of approximately $49,000 and had net income of approximately $88,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of which 51% is attributable to the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as a new ASC topic (Topic 606). The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU further provides guidance for any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, lease contracts). The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-14 to defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 until annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted. The FASB also recently issued ASU 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," and 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," that clarify or amend the original Topic 606. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted using one of two retrospective transition methods: 1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or 2) as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. ~~The~~While the Company has not yet ~~selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact of~~completed their evaluation, it has reviewed ASU 2014-09 and does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. To the ~~Company’s Financial Statements upon~~extent there is an impact, the Company will apply as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption.

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~~Alico's fiscal year ~~generally~~ produce the majority of ~~our~~the Company's annual ~~revenue, and working~~revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, coinciding with harvesting cycles. Due to Hurricane Irma, in the first six months of fiscal 2018 Alico produced a greater percentage of boxes harvested, as compared to the estimated totals for the full harvest season, than in past years. As a result, the working capital requirements may vary from the typical trends historically experienced in the current year. ~~The results~~Because of the ~~reported periods herein~~seasonality of the business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for ~~any other interim periods or~~ the ~~entire~~full fiscal year.

Note 2. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and September 30, 2017:


(in thousands)	December 31,		September 30,		March 31,		September 30,
	2017		2017		2018		2017
Unharvested fruit crop on the trees	$	29,551	$	32,145	$	25,793	$	32,145
Beef cattle	2,254		1,954		—		1,954
Other	1,375		2,105		1,217		2,105
Total inventories	$	33,180	$	36,204	$	27,010	$	36,204

Note 5. Long-Term Debt and Lines of Credit

~~Debt Refinancing~~ Credit Facilities

The ~~Company refinanced its outstanding debt obligations on December 3, 2014 in connection with the Orange-Co acquisition. These~~Company's credit facilities initially ~~included~~consisted of $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. The 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 basis points (the “LIBOR spread”). The LIBOR spread was adjusted by the lender on May 1, 2017 and is subject to further adjustment by the lender on May 1, 2019 and 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 ~~3.03%~~3.42% per annum and 2.96% per annum as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and September 30, 2017, 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~~2015. During the first and ~~remains~~second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company elected not to make its principal payment and utilized its prepayment to satisfy its principal payment requirements for such quarters. At March 31, 2018, the Company had $5,625,000 remaining available to reduce future mandatory principal payments should the Company elect to do so. ~~During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, the company elected not to make its principal payment and utilized its prepayment to satisfy its payment requirement.~~ 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 basis points, payable quarterly. The LIBOR spread 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 ~~3.03%~~3.42% and 2.96% per annum as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. Availability under the RLOC was $25,000,000 as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

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 ~~3.11%~~3.41% per annum and 2.99% per annum as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The WCLC agreement was amended on September 30, 2017, and the primary terms of the amendment were an extension of the maturity to November 1, 2019. There were no changes to the commitment amount or interest rate. Availability under the WCLC was approximately ~~$52,577,000~~$59,700,000 as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

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 outstanding balance on the WCLC was ~~approximately $7,123,000~~$0 at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017.~~2018. 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~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, there was approximately $10,300,000 in outstanding letters of credit, which correspondingly reduced the Company's availability under the line of credit.

These 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~~ended 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.

The Company may prepay up to $5,000,000 of principal without penalty. As such, the Company exceeded the allowed $5,000,000 prepayment by approximately $203,000 and was required to make a premium payment of approximately $22,000. The loans are collateralized by real estate in Collier, Hardee, Highlands, Martin, Osceola and Polk Counties, Florida and mature in June 2029 and 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”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 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 ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, the most recent measurement date.

Other Modifications of Rabo and Prudential Credit Agreements

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 7. Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act contains significant changes to corporate taxes, including a permanent reduction of the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company’s statutory rate for fiscal year ended September 30, 2018 will be 24.5%, based on a fiscal year blended rate calculation. The 21% U.S. corporate tax rate will apply to fiscal years ending September 30, 2019 and each year thereafter.

Additionally, the Act requires a one-time remeasurement of certain tax related assets and liabilities. During the first quarter ended December 31, 2017, the Company made certain estimates related to the impact of the Act including the remeasurement of deferred taxes at the new expected tax rate and a revised effective tax rate for the year ended September 30, ~~2018, which was used to compute current tax expense for the first quarter ended December 31, 2017.~~2018. The amounts recorded in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 for the remeasurement of deferred ~~tax liabilities~~taxes principally relate to the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate. ~~The~~During the second quarter ended March 31, 2018, the Company made certain updates to the estimates used during the first quarter, which resulted in a change to the remeasurement. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company has recorded a tax benefit of approximately ~~$11,300,000~~$10,100,000 to account for these deferred tax impacts.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has a capital loss carryforward of approximately $24,600,000, which will expire on September 30, 2018. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the full benefit of this deferred tax asset will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance of approximately $6,000,000 on the deferred tax asset.

Note 8. Earnings (Loss) 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 six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016,~~2017, basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:


(in thousands except per share amounts)
	Three Months Ended December 31,					Three Months Ended March 31,					Six Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016			2018			2017		2018		2017

Diluted	$	1.05	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.67	)	$	0.70	$	0.39	$	0.49

The computation of diluted earnings per common share for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 includes the impact of certain equity awards because they are dilutive. Such awards are comprised of 750,000 stock options granted to Executive Officers (see Note 12. "Related Party Transactions") during the three months ended December 31, 2016. These options were anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the six months ended March 31, 2017.

Note 9. Segment Information

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. The Company’s CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based on three operating segments: Alico Citrus, Conservation and Environmental Resources and Other Operations.

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.

Information by operating segment is as follows:

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 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, 2017.

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.

Recent Developments

On November 16, 2017, Alico announced the Alico 2.0 Modernization Program (“Alico 2.0”). The program is focused on aggressively improving the operations of the Company and optimizing its return on capital employed through cost reductions, increased efficiencies and disposition of ~~non-performing~~under-performing assets. The Program began in early 2017 to transform Alico’s three legacy businesses (Alico, Orange Co., and Silver Nip) into a single efficient enterprise, now called Alico Citrus. Every aspect of Alico’s citrus and ranch operations, all back office support activities, and the productivity of all assets were analyzed to determine how to eliminate costs that will not negatively affect citrus production and also improve performance throughout the Company. The changes required to realize those improvements have now been implemented. As part of the program, Alico realigned its management structure and appointed Danny Sutton as the President and General Manager of Alico Citrus.

~~As indicated in Alico’s~~In accordance with Alico 2.0 the Company ~~intended to divest~~divested itself from several non-core and ~~cease operations~~underperforming assets during the first six months of fiscal 2018 as follows:

sold its breeding herd ~~and leased grazing and other rights on its Ranch~~ to a third party for approximately $7,800,000. As part of this transaction, the purchaser is also leasing grazing and other rights on the Alico Ranch from the Company at a rate of $100,000 per month; and

sold its corporate office building in Fort Myers, Florida for $5,300,000. The sales agreement provides that the Company will lease back a portion of the office space for five years.

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~~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 ~~increase~~decrease in ~~operating~~ revenues for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2016, is~~2018 was primarily due to the timing of when the Early and Mid-Season fruit was ~~harvested.~~harvested, and the impact of Hurricane Irma. As a result of Hurricane Irma, the Company both commenced and completed the harvesting of its Early and Mid-Season fruit earlier than in the previous year. The harvesting of the Early and Mid-Season fruit commenced in late October, as compared to the harvesting commencing

in mid to late November in the previous harvest season and was completed in late January, as compared to harvesting being completed in late February in the previous year. Accordingly, the Company harvested a smaller number of boxes in the three month period ended March 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. In addition to the timing, due to the fruit drop caused by Hurricane Irma, the Company harvested less boxes overall for the Early & Mid-Season fruit and saw a decrease in pound solids per box. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had pound solids of 5.23 as compared to pound solids of 5.72 for the same period in the prior year. In addition, fewer boxes of fresh fruit were sold for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

Offsetting the decrease for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 was an increase in the revenue generated from the Valencia fruit. Similarly to the Early and Mid-Season fruit, the harvesting of the Company’s Valencia fruit commenced earlier than in the previous year. The harvesting of the Valencia fruit commenced in late January, as compared to the harvesting commencing in late February in the previous harvest season. ~~As such,~~Accordingly, the Company has harvested a greater number of boxes in the three month period ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 as compared to the same period in ~~2016.~~ 2017, and the price per pound solid has increased.

The ~~increase from~~decrease in revenue for the ~~greater number~~six month period ended March 31, 2018 is directly related to the impact of Hurricane Irma. With respect to the Early and Mid-Season fruit, the Company harvested approximately 44% less boxes ~~being harvested was partially offset by~~then in the previous year. The Company also experienced a ~~reduction~~decline in pound solids per ~~box~~box. For the six months ended March 31, 2018, the Company had pound solids of ~~0.29.~~5.08, as compared to pound solids of 5.58 for the same period in the prior year. In addition, fewer boxes of fresh fruit were sold for the six month period ended March 31, 2018.

Offsetting the decrease for the six month period ended March 31, 2018 was an increase in the revenue generated from the Valencia fruit. Consistent with the offsetting of the decrease for the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the harvesting of the Company’s Valencia fruit commenced earlier than in the previous year. The Company will complete the harvesting of its Valencia fruit earlier in the current fiscal year as compared to the prior year ~~for its Early and Mid-Season fruit~~ and anticipates an overall decrease in the number of boxes harvested and revenues generated from ~~Early and Mid-Season~~Valencia fruit for the 2018 harvest, as compared to the prior year. ~~Offsetting this increase was fewer boxes of fresh fruit sold at a lower price per box, as compared to the same period in the prior year.~~

The USDA, in its ~~January 12,~~April 11, 2018 Citrus Crop Forecast for the 2017-18 harvest season, indicated that the Florida orange crop will decrease approximately 34.5% from approximately 68,700,000 boxes for the 2016-17 crop year to approximately ~~46,000,000~~45,000,000 boxes for the 2017-18 crop ~~year, a decrease of approximately 33.0%.~~year. The significant decline is primarily the result of Hurricane Irma and the related fruit loss ~~experienced~~ as well as the ~~stress on the~~continuing effects of citrus ~~trees for short-term fruit growth.~~greening.

WeAlico originally estimated ~~our~~its 2018 processed boxes will decrease by approximately 40-45% compared to ~~our~~processed boxes for fiscal year 2017, ~~processed boxes,~~ on a per acre basis. Based on the harvesting of fruit through the ~~first~~second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company estimate of reduced production for fiscal year 2018 ~~will remain~~remains unchanged. ~~We expect that our operating expenses for fiscal year 2018 will remain consistent with fiscal year 2017 on a per acre basis.~~

The ~~increase~~decrease in cost of sales for the three and six months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2018 is primarily related to the Company harvesting less fruit, compared to the same periods ended March 31, 2017, ~~compared~~and the Company having less inventory costs accumulated to ~~three months ended December 31, 2016 primarily relates to the timing of the harvesting of the Early and Mid-Season fruit as well as costs incurred for clean-up and repairs~~expense throughout fiscal 2018 as a result of ~~Hurricane Irma. As a result~~the inventory casualty loss adjustment of ~~commencing the harvesting of Early and Mid-Season fruit earlier~~approximately $14,000,000 recorded in the ~~season and harvesting a greater percentage of boxes, in relation to estimated total boxes to be harvested for the full season, in the three months~~quarter ended ~~December 31,~~September 30, 2017 ~~as compared~~due to the ~~same period in the prior year, a greater percentage~~impact of ~~costs were allocated to Cost of Sales in the period.~~Hurricane Irma.

Alico 2.0 explored every aspect of Alico’s citrus and ranch operations, including corporate and operational cost structures, grove costs, purchasing and procurement, non-performing and under-performing assets, professional fees, and human resources efficiency. Under this program, ~~we expect~~the Company expects to reduce total expenses per acre from $3,314/acre in fiscal 2016 to $2,164/acre when Alico 2.0 is fully implemented ~~which is expected to be~~ over the next two years. Overall, ~~we anticipate~~ the program should reduce the Company’s cost to produce a pound solid from $2.14 to $1.56. This efficiency will be achieved through better purchasing, more precise application of selected fertilizers and chemicals, outsourcing work such as harvesting, hauling, and certain caretaking tasks, and by streamlining grove management. WeThe Company will also ~~will be deploying~~deploy a more efficient labor model that is consistent and uniform for field staffing and grove operating programs, and aligns with the geographical footprint of the citrus groves. However, there can be no assurance that ~~we will be able to achieve~~ the anticipated cost savings will be realized under Alico 2.0.

Ranch

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company sold its breeding herd and leased the ranch to a third party operator. The Company continues to own the property and conduct its long term water dispersement and wildlife management programs. As a result of this leasing agreement, the Company recorded an increase in land leasing revenue as compared to the same period in the prior year.

The increase in revenues from the sale of calves for the ~~three month~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, as compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016,~~2017, is primarily due to an increase in the number of calves sold, partially offset by a decrease in price per pound sold. The increase in land leasing revenue is related to the leasing agreement, which the Company entered into as part of the sale of its breeding herd.

~~In January 2018,~~The cost of calves sold, which represented the ~~Company sold~~cost of maintaining the calves for the preceding year, was fully expensed upon the sale of the breeding herd ~~and leased the ranch to a third party operator.

Conservation

In December 2012, the ~~SFWMD~~South Florida Water Management District ("SFWMD" or "District") 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 District Board approval of funding. The contract specifies that the District 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 2017/2018 fiscal year was approved and included funding for the Program. Operating expenses were approximately ~~$395,000~~$372,000 and ~~$458,000~~$644,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and ~~2016,~~approximately $767,000 and $1,102,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 totaled approximately ~~$3,886,000~~$3,073,000, compared to approximately ~~$3,788,000~~$3,399,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2016.~~2017. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily the result of separation and consulting fees of approximately $340,000 and recruitment fees for executive and other personnel of approximately $100,000 being incurred during the three month period ended March 31, 2017, which were not incurred in ~~general~~the same period in fiscal 2018. Additionally, greater payroll and ~~administrative expenses~~associated costs of approximately $85,000 were incurred for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2017, as compared to the same period ~~in 2016, was the result of an increase of the following:~~

~~separation and consulting agreement expenses of approximately $388,000~~

The decrease was primarily ~~offset by expenses incurred in in the first quarter of December 2016 relating~~due to one-time consulting ~~expenses incurred.~~fees incurred in the six month period ended March 2017 of approximately $900,000 which was not incurred for the same period in fiscal 2018. This decrease was partially offset by a separation agreement expense of approximately $200,000, and an accrual for paid time off of $240,000, which were not recorded in the same period in fiscal 2017. Additionally, the Company incurred increased rent expense of approximately $150,000, and professional fees of approximately $110,000, for the six months ended March 31, 2018, as compared to the same period ended March 31, 2017.

Other (Expense) Income, net

Other expense, net for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017 was approximately ~~$375,000~~$2,140,000 and ~~approximately$1,981,000,~~approximately $912,000, respectively. The ~~decrease in the expense~~increase is primarily due to the Company recording a smaller gain on sale of real estate, property and equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded a gain on sale of real estate, property and equipment of approximately $99,000 and $1,396,000, respectively. The gain on sale of real estate, property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2017 relates to the sale of ~~its office building~~49 acres of land and facilities in ~~Fort Myers,~~Hendry County, Florida, which resulted in a gain of approximately ~~$1,800,000. As part of~~$1,400,000.

Other expense, net for the ~~sale,~~six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $2,515,000 and approximately $2,893,000, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to the Company ~~has entered into~~incurring approximately $200,000 of less interest expense due to the continued paydown of its long-term debt, as well as a ~~lease arrangement~~prepayment made on a loan of approximately $4,450,000 with the ~~buyer for a portion of~~proceeds from the ~~office space.~~asset sales.

~~Benefit for~~ Income Taxes

The ~~benefit~~provision for income tax was approximately ~~$12,417,000~~$8,150,000 and ~~$1,273,000~~$4,321,000 for the three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2018 and 2017, and ~~2016,~~a tax benefit of approximately $4,267,000 and a tax provision of approximately $3,048,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The ~~increase~~tax benefit for the six months ended March 31, 2018 primarily resulted from approximately ~~$11,300,000~~$10,100,000 in non-cash tax benefit recorded to remeasure the Company's net deferred tax liabilities to the 21% corporate tax rate that was enacted December 22, 2017. During the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on its capital loss carryforward of approximately $6,000,000, resulting in an additional income tax expense.

Seasonality

Historically, the second and third quarters of Alico's fiscal year produce the majority of ~~the Company's~~its annual revenue. Working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, coinciding with harvesting cycles. Due to Hurricane Irma, in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 Alico produced a greater percentage of boxes harvested, as compared to the estimated totals for the full harvest season, then in past years. As a result, the working capital requirements may vary from the typical trends ~~we have~~it has historically experienced in the current year. Because of the seasonality of the business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

Management believes that a combination of cash-on-hand, cash generated from operations, assets sales 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 ~~$52,600,000~~$59,700,000 is available for general use as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, and a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit, all of which is available for general use as of ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017~~2018 (see Note 5. “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 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 ~~increase~~decrease in net cash used in operating activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~December~~March 31, ~~2017,~~2018, as compared to the same period in ~~2016,~~2017, was due to a smaller change in working capital as compared to the previous year. This is primarily the result of the Company having a smaller increase in accounts receivable due to lower revenues earned, and a decrease in inventory levels as a result of this year’s crop being harvested earlier than in the previous year, whereby a greater amount of the inventory accumulated was

expensed. This decrease was partially off-set by a non-cash net decrease in deferred tax liabilities, primarily as a result of new tax legislation, which went into ~~effect~~law on December 22, ~~2017.~~

2017, partially offset by a deferred tax expense valuation allowance.

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.
