The following Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting principles and policies reflected in the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The Company is involved in agriculture, which is of a seasonal nature and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations. The results of operations for the stated periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain items from 2008 have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation.

The Company reports available for sales securities at estimated fair value. Unrealized gains and losses occurring solely due to changes in market interest rates are recorded as other comprehensive income, net of related deferred taxes, until realized. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized losses totaling $213 thousand which were determined to be other than temporary impairments in fair values. These losses related to the auction rate municipal bonds and mutual funds held by the Company, for which there is not currently an active market.

There were no gross unrealized losses that were deemed to be temporarily impaired at June 30, 2009.

3. Mortgages and notes receivable:

The balances of the Company’s mortgages and notes receivable were as follows:

		June 30,				September 30,
		2009				2008
		(unaudited)
Mortgage notes receivable on retail land sales		$	186			$	205
Mortgage notes receivable on bulk land sales			52,320				54,108
Note receivable- other			86				90
Total mortgage and notes receivable			52,592				54,403
Less: Deferred revenue			(45,246	)			(46,793	)
Discount on notes to impute market interest			(3	)			(6	)
Current portion			(72	)			(2,830	)
Non-current portion		$	7,271			$	4,774

The mortgage note receivable on bulk land sales relates to a parcel in Lee County, Florida referred to as the “East parcel” which was sold to the Ginn Companies (“Ginn”). In July 2005, Alico’s subsidiary, Alico-Agri, entered into a sales contract for the East property, consisting of approximately 4,538 acres for a total sales price of $62.9 million. At the time of the sale, Alico-Agri received a down payment of $6.2 million and a mortgage note of $56.6 million in exchange for the East parcel.

Alico-Agri records real estate sales following the provisions in Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate,” Under these guidelines, gains from commercial or bulk land sales are not recognized until payments received for property to be developed within two years after the sale represent a 20% continuing interest in the property or for property to be developed after two years, a 25% continuing interest in the property according to the installment sales method. The continuing interest thresholds for gain recognition have not been met for the East contract and Alico-Agri is recognizing gains proportionate to principal receipts through deferred gain accounts which serve to discount the mortgage note receivables under the installment method.

In November 2008, Alico-Agri received a principal payment of $1.8 million on the East contract. Alico-Agri recognized a profit of $1.5 million as non-operating revenue under the installment method related to the receipt. Additionally during the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized $1.2 million of operating revenue upon the expiration of an option contract that had previously been deferred.

Interest was scheduled to accrue on the unpaid balance of the note and be paid in quarterly installments. The note was scheduled to bear interest at HSH LIBOR plus 150 basis points from September 29, 2008 to September 28, 2009, HSH LIBOR plus 200 basis points from September 29, 2009 to September 28, 2010 and HSH LIBOR plus 250 basis points thereafter until the note is paid in full.

In April 2009, the purchaser defaulted on the East parcel contract. Under the terms of the contract, a quarterly interest payment of $283 thousand was due on March 30, 2009 but the payment was not received. Alico-Agri has initiated foreclosure proceedings and ceased accruing interest on the note at March 31, 2009. A development order for the property allows up to 336 residential units. Pursuant to the contract, Ginn is entitled to receive a release of 399 acres in exchange for prior principal payments. When the foreclosure becomes final, the net mortgage note receivable of $7.1 million (consisting of the note balance of $52.3 million less deferred revenue of $45.2 million), plus accrued interest through March 31, 2009 of $0.3 million, reduced by the associated commissions payable account of $2.6 million will be reclassified as basis in the property.

Alico, Inc. has a Term Note, a Mortgage and a Revolving Line of Credit (RLOC) with Farm Credit of Southwest Florida. All three agreements are cross collateralized by 7,680 acres of real estate in Hendry County used for farm leases, sugarcane and citrus production. The Term Note and Revolving Line of Credit are additionally collateralized by 43,847 acres of real estate in Hendry County used for cattle ranching, farm and recreational leases.

The Term Note calls for equal payments of principal and interest of $1.7 million per quarter over a ten year term until maturity. The Mortgage note calls for monthly principal payments of $106 thousand plus accrued interest until maturity.

On March 30, 2009 the Company modified its RLOC with Farm Credit of Southwest Florida. According to the terms of the modification, the total availability of funds pursuant to the RLOC was reduced from $125 million to $75 million. Additionally, several covenants were modified as follows: a) the covenant requiring the Company to maintain stockholder equity of at least $110 million was eliminated in its entirety b) the minimum current ratio was increased to 2.5 to 1 from 2.0 to 1 and c) the fixed charge coverage ratio was replaced by a debt coverage ratio requiring the Company to maintain a debt coverage of not less than 1.10 to 1 on a rolling four quarter basis. The maturity date of the RLOC was extended from August 1, 2011 to August 1, 2012. The interest rate index was changed from 3 month LIBOR to 1 month LIBOR, and the interest rate spreads increased by 100 basis points. The Company also pledged an additional 10,147 acres of real estate in Hendry County, Florida bringing the total acres pledged to 51,527.

9. Stock Compensation Plans:

The Board of Directors of the Company may grant options, stock appreciation rights, and/or restricted stock to certain directors and employees. No stock options or stock appreciation rights were granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (usually the vesting period). If an equity award is modified after the grant date, incremental compensation cost will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the modified award over the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification.

In fiscal year 2006, the Company began granting restricted shares to certain key employees as long term incentives. The restricted shares vest in accordance with the terms and description outlined in the tables following. The payment of each installment is subject to continued employment with the Company. At June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 there were 31,278 and 27,707 restricted shares, respectively, vested in accordance with these grants.

The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted share awards granted to date including compensation expense related to such grants for the nine month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:
