Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | ' |
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | |
Description of Business | |
Alico Inc. ("Alico") and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") is an agribusiness and land management company. The Company owns approximately 130,800 acres of land in six Florida counties (Alachua, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee and Polk). Our principal lines of business are citrus groves, improved farmland including sugarcane, cattle ranching and conservation, and other operations which includes leased land for rock mining. | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements (the "Financial Statements") of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management were necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year. | |
The Financial Statements have been presented according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information, footnotes and disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. | |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The Financial Statements include the accounts of Alico, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Alico Land Development, Inc. ("ALDI"), Alico-Agri, Ltd. ("Alico-Agri"), Alico Plant World, LLC, Alico Citrus Nursery, LLC and Alico Fruit Company, LLC (formerly known as Bowen Brothers Fruit, LLC) ("Alico Fruit"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | |
Reclassifications | |
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the fiscal year 2014 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on working capital, net income, stockholders' equity or cash flows as previously reported. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates based upon future events. The Company periodically evaluates the estimates. The estimates are based on current and expected economic conditions, historical experience and various other specific assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable. | |
Seasonality | |
The Company is primarily engaged in agriculture, 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 our working capital requirements are typically greater in the first and fourth quarters of our fiscal year coinciding with our planting cycles. The results of the reported period herein are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other interim periods or the entire fiscal year. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
The Company does not believe that any recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, or the SEC would have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | |

In December 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved listing certain parcels of real estate for sale in Polk and Hendry counties totaling approximately 3,200 acres, including approximately 80 acres of active citrus groves. As a result, the Company reclassified the net book value of the properties to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of the properties exceeds their net book value, and no impairment was recognized as a result of the reclassification. | |||||||||

The Company has a credit facility including a revolving line of credit ("RLOC") and term loan with Rabo AgriFinance, Inc. ("Rabo") totaling $95,000,000 at March 31, 2014. The revolving line of credit and term loan are collateralized by 43,991 acres of farmland and 12,280 acres of additional real property containing approximately 8,600 acres of producing citrus groves. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The $60,000,000 RLOC bears interest at a floating rate payable on the first day of each calendar quarter. The RLOC matures on October 1, 2020. At March 31, 2014, there was no outstanding balance on the RLOC. The Company pays an annual commitment fee on the RLOC equal to 0.15% of the difference between the annual average unpaid balance and the $60,000,000 loan commitment. The commitment fee is payable on February 1 of each year. Commitment fees of approximately $83,000 were paid in February and $15,000 were accrued at March 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The interest rate on the RLOC is based on the one month LIBOR plus a spread. The spread is determined based upon our debt service coverage ratios for the preceding fiscal year and can vary from 225 to 250 basis points. The rate is currently at LIBOR plus 225 basis points. On October 1, 2015, Rabo may adjust the interest rate spread to any percentage above one month LIBOR. Rabo must provide a 30 day notice of the new spreads; at that time, the Company has the right to prepay the outstanding balance without penalty. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The term loan requires quarterly payments of interest at a floating rate of one month LIBOR plus 250 basis points. On October 1, 2015, Rabo may adjust the interest rate to a maximum spread of LIBOR plus 5%. The Company has the right to prepay the outstanding balance without penalty. It also requires quarterly principal payments of $500,000 through October 1, 2020 when the remaining principal balance and accrued interest will be due and payable. | |||||||||||||||||||||
At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, Alico was in compliance with all of its covenants under the Rabo loan agreement. | |||||||||||||||||||||
On October 10, 2012, the outstanding mortgage note held by Farm Credit of Florida was paid in full. The payment included $1,794,000 for the principal balance and $66,000 for a prepayment penalty which was included in interest expense on our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The mortgage was collateralized by 7,680 acres of real estate used for farm leases, sugarcane and citrus production. The collateral was released upon satisfaction of the mortgage. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Note 6. Disclosures about reportable segments | |||||||||||||||||
The Company manages its land based upon its primary usage and reviews its performance based upon three primary classifications - Citrus Groves, Improved Farmland and Ranch and Conservation. In addition, it operates an Agricultural Supply Chain Management business that is not tied directly to its land holdings and Other Operations that include leases for mining and oil extraction rights to third parties. The Company presents its financial results and the related discussions based upon these five segments (Citrus Groves, Improved Farmland, Ranch and Conservation, Agricultural Supply Chain Management and Other Operations). In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company changed its internal structure to align with the way it manages its business operations. As a result, the Company has realigned its financial reporting segments to match its internal operations. The Company has reclassified prior years to conform to the fiscal year 2014 presentation. None of these changes affect the Company's previously reported consolidated results. The primary change in previously reported segment results is to reclassify the former Land Leasing and Rentals segment's revenues and expenses to the related land classifications. A description of the Company's business segments is as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
• | Citrus Groves include activities related to planting, owning, cultivating and/or managing citrus groves in order to produce fruit for sale to fresh and processed citrus markets. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Agricultural Supply Chain Management and Support includes 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. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Improved Farmland includes activities related to planting, owning, cultivating, managing and/or leasing improved farmland. Improved farmland is acreage that has been converted, or is permitted to be converted, from native pasture and which has various improvements including irrigation, drainage and roads. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Ranch and Conservation includes activities related to cattle grazing, sod, native plant and animal sales, leasing, management and/or conservation of unimproved native pasture land. | ||||||||||||||||
• | Other Operations include activities related to rock mining royalties, oil exploration and other insignificant lines of business. | ||||||||||||||||
Intersegment sales and transfers are accounted for by the Company as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices. Goods and services produced by these segments are sold to wholesalers and processors in the United States which prepare the products for consumption. The Company evaluates the segments performance based on direct margins from operations before general and administrative costs, interest expense and income taxes, not including nonrecurring gains and losses. | |||||||||||||||||
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Description of the Business and Basis of Presentation. Total revenues represent sales to unaffiliated customers, as reported in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. | |||||||||||||||||

Long Term Incentive Plan | |||||||||||||||||
On May 26, 2011, the Company's Board of Directors approved the Long-Term Incentive Program as part of the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company approved the contingent award of 152,403 shares of common stock to Named Executive Officers (the "NEOs") of the Company. On May 26, 2011, 58,610 shares were granted to the NEOs other than the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and on April 19, 2012, 93,793 shares were awarded to the CEO under restricted stock award agreements. | |||||||||||||||||
All of the shares of restricted stock awarded under the Long-Term Incentive Program vested automatically upon the acquisition by 734 Investors, LLC of a controlling interest in the Company. In December 2013, the Company determined that it would repurchase half of the 58,610 gross shares awarded to NEOs other than the CEO immediately upon their issuance for the purpose of retaining treasury shares for future issuance. As a result, the Company issued 68,944 shares of treasury stock in January 2014, net of withholdings for income taxes and repurchase of treasury shares. The Company has recognized $184,000 of stock-based compensation expense related to the acceleration of vesting of these grants during the quarter ended December 31, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

Recent Change in Control Transaction | |
On November 19, 2013, 734 Agriculture, LLC ("734 Agriculture") and its affiliates, including 734 Investors, LLC ("734 Investors"), completed the previously announced purchase from Alico Holding, LLC, a company wholly owned by Atlantic Blue Group, Inc. ("Atlanticblue"), of 3,725,457 shares of our common stock (the "Share Purchase"). | |
The common stock acquired by 734 Agriculture and its affiliates, including 734 Investors, represents approximately 51% of the Company's outstanding voting securities. On November 15, 2013, 734 Investors amended and restated its LLC operating agreement (the "LLC Agreement") to admit new members and to designate 734 Agriculture as the managing member, with authority to administer the affairs of 734 Investors, including the voting and disposition of shares of common stock, subject to certain restrictions set forth therein. As a result, upon the consummation of the Share Purchase, 734 Agriculture and its affiliates, including 734 Investors, acquired the voting power to control the election of the Company's Directors and any other matter requiring the affirmative vote or consent of the Company's shareholders. | |
Appointment of Directors; Resignation of Directors | |
With the Closing of the Share Purchase, the previously announced election of the following individuals to the Board of Directors became effective: Mr. George R. Brokaw, Member of 734 Agriculture; Remy W. Trafelet, Manager of 734 Agriculture; W. Andrew Krusen, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Dominion Financial Group; Benjamin D.

Upon the Closing of the Share Purchase, the following individuals ceased to be Directors of the Company pursuant to their previously disclosed resignations: JD Alexander, Dykes Everett, Thomas H. McAuley, Charles L. Palmer, John D. Rood, and Gordon Walker, PhD. Mr. Robert J. Viguet, Jr. resigned from the Board on November 21, 2013. | |

On November 19, 2013, 734 Agriculture and its affiliates, including 734 Investors, acquired all of the approximately 51% of Alico's common stock then owned by Atlanticblue. 734 Investors now beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, approximately 51% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock and possesses the voting power to control the election of the Company's Directors and any other matter requiring the affirmative vote or consent of the Company's shareholders. 734 Agriculture is the sole managing member of 734 Investors. By virtue of their ownership percentage, 734 Investors and 734 Agriculture are able to elect all of the Directors and, consequently, control Alico. Messrs. Brokaw and Trafelet are the two controlling persons of 734 Agriculture. | |
Silver Nip | |
On November 22, 2013, the Company entered into an employee lease agreement with Mr. Wilson and Silver Nip (the "Silver Nip Agreement"). Silver Nip is owned and controlled by Messrs. Brokaw, Trafelet and Wilson. | |
The Silver Nip Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, for the Company to furnish Mr. Wilson's services to Silver Nip to perform the functions and services that Mr. Wilson has previously performed for Silver Nip prior to his resignation as CEO of Silver Nip. The Silver Nip Agreement provides that Mr. Wilson will spend a majority of his working time performing functions and services for the Company and that in no event will Mr. Wilson be required to take any action that he or the Company determines could conflict with Mr. Wilson's exercise of his fiduciary duties under applicable law owed to the Company or could interfere with the performance of his duties as an executive officer of the Company. In exchange for furnishing Mr. Wilson's services, Silver Nip has agreed to pay to the Company the cash salary that would have been paid to Mr. Wilson pursuant to his previous employment arrangement with Silver Nip, had that arrangement continued to be in force. | |
The Silver Nip Agreement provides that if neither the Company nor Silver Nip has provided the other with written notice of an intention to terminate the Silver Nip Agreement at least three business days before the month's end (or any subsequent renewal period), the Silver Nip Agreement will automatically renew for a one-month period. In addition, Silver Nip may terminate the Silver Nip Agreement at any time upon 10 business days' prior written notice to the Company. As of March 31, 2014 the neither Company nor Silver Nip has provided written notice to terminate the Silver Nip Agreement. | |

Prior to the Share Purchase transaction on November 19, 2013, Atlanticblue owned approximately 51% of Alico's common stock.

In February 2010, JD Alexander was appointed Alico's President and Chief Executive Officer, and he served on Alico's Board of Directors. Robert J.
