PART I
______
Item 1. Business.
__________________________
Alico, Inc. (the "Company") is generally recognized as an agribusiness
company operating in Central and Southwest Florida. The Company's primary
asset is 164,581 acres of land located in Collier, Hendry, Lee and Polk
Counties. (See table on Page 5 for location and acreage by current primary
use.) The Company is involved in various operations and activities
including citrus fruit production, cattle ranching, sugarcane and sod
production, and forestry. The Company also leases land for farming, cattle
grazing, recreation, and oil exploration.
The Company's land is managed for multiple use wherever possible. Cattle
ranching, forestry and land leased for farming, grazing, recreation and oil
exploration, in some instances, utilize the same acreage.
Agricultural operations have combined to produce from 73 to 93 percent of
annual revenues during the past five years. Citrus groves generate the
most gross revenue. Sugarcane ranks second in revenue production. While
the cattle ranching operation utilizes the largest acreage, it ranks third
in the production of revenue. Approximately 10,006 acres of the Company's
property are classified as timberlands, however, the area in which these
lands are located is not highly rated for timber production. These lands
are also utilized as native range, in the ranching operation, and leased
out for recreation and oil exploration.
Diversification of the Company's agricultural base was initiated with the
development of a Sugarcane Division at the end of the 1988 fiscal year.
The 5,000 acres in production during the 1995 fiscal year consisted of
1,110 acres planted in the fall of 1989, 863 acres planted in 1990, 22
acres planted in 1991, 2,042 acres planted in 1992 and 1,003 acres planted
in 1993.
The Company continued to expand agriculture activities during the 1995
fiscal year, continuing development of a farm leasing project and
additional citrus acreage.
Leasing of lands for rock mining and oil and mineral exploration, rental of
land for grazing, farming, recreation and other uses, while not classified
as agricultural operations, are important components of the Company's land
utilization and operation. Gross revenue from these activities during the
past five years has ranged from 2 to 3 percent of total revenue.
The Company is not in the land sales and development business, except
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Saddlebag Lake Resorts, Inc.; however,
it does from time to time sell properties which, in the judgment of
management, are surplus to the Company's primary operations. Gross revenue
from land sales during the past five years has ranged from 1 to 20 percent
of total revenues.
<PAGE>
For further discussion of the relative importance of the various segments
of the Company's operations, including financial information regarding
revenues, operating profits (losses) and assets attributable to each major
segment of the Company's business, see Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" incorporated in this document.
Subsidiary Operations
_____________________
The Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Saddlebag Lake Resorts, Inc. (the
"Subsidiary"), is only active in the subdividing, development and sale of
real estate. The financial results of the operation of this subsidiary are
consolidated with those of the Company. (See Note 1 of Notes to Financial
Statements.)
Contributions by the Subsidiary to the net income of the Company, during
the past five years, have ranged from 0 to 1 percent. The Subsidiary has
two subdivisions near Frostproof, Florida which have been developed and are
on the market. Approximately 68% of the lots have been sold.
Citrus
______
Approximately 7,694 acres of citrus were harvested during the 1995 season.
Since 1983 the Company has maintained a marketing contract covering the
majority of the Company's citrus crop with Ben Hill Griffin, Inc., a
Florida corporation and major shareholder. The agreement provides for
modifications to meet changing market conditions and provides that either
party may terminate the contract by giving notice prior to August 1st,
preceding the fruit season immediately following. Under the terms of the
contract the Company's fruit is packed and/or processed and sold along with
fruit from other growers, including Ben Hill Griffin, Inc. The proceeds
are distributed on a pro rata basis as the finished product is sold.
During the year ended August 31, 1995, approximately 88% of the Company's
fruit crop was marketed under this agreement, the same percentage as in
1993/94. The Company expects that the majority of the 1995/96 crop will be
marketed under the same terms. In addition, Ben Hill Griffin, Inc.
provides harvesting services to the Company for citrus sold to unrelated
processors. These sales accounted for the remaining 12% of total citrus
revenue for the year.
Ranch
_____
The Company has a cattle operation located in Hendry and Collier Counties,
Florida which is engaged primarily in the production of beef cattle and the
raising of replacement heifers. The breeding herd consists of
approximately 19,000 cows, bulls and replacement heifers. Approximately
31% of the herd are from one to five years old, while the remaining 69% are
six and older. The Company primarily sells to contract cattle buyers. The
Company also sells cattle through local livestock auction markets and to
packing and processing plants located in the area. These buyers provide
ready markets for the Company's cattle. The loss of any one or a few of
these plants and/or buyers would not, in management's view, have a material
adverse effect on the Company's cattle operation. Subject to prevailing
market conditions, the Company may hedge up to 50% of its beef inventory by
entering into cattle futures contracts to reduce exposure to changes in
market prices. During 1993, the Company began a program of retaining
ownership of calves shipped to Midwest feedlots. This program results in \
increased sales prices per head as weight is added in the feedlot.
<PAGE>
Sugarcane
_________
The Company had 5,000 acres and 5,626 acres of sugarcane in production
during the 1994/95 and 1993/94 fiscal year, respectively. The 1994/95 and
1994/93 crops yielded approximately 186,000 and 230,000 gross tons,
respectively.
Forest Products
_______________
Approximately 6% of the Company's properties are classified as timberlands.
The principal forest products sold by the Company, prior to the 1992/93
fiscal year, were pulpwood and sabal palms. These products were sold to
a paper company and various landscaping companies, respectively. During
the 1994/95 fiscal year, revenues consisted almost entirely of sabal palms
sold to landscaping companies. The Company does not incur any of the
harvesting expenses.
Part of the lands, from which the timber was removed, is being converted to
semi-improved pasture and other uses.
Land Rental for Grazing, Agricultural and Other Uses
____________________________________________________
The Company rents lands to other for grazing, farming and recreational
uses, on a tenant-at-will basis, for an annual fee. The income is not
significant when compared to overall gross income, however, it does help to
offset the expense of carrying these properties until they are put to a
more profitable use. The Company has developed additional land to lease
for farming.
There were no significant changes in the method of rental for these
purposes during the past fiscal year.
Leases for Oil and Mineral Exploration
______________________________________
The Company has leased subsurface rights to a portion of it's properties
for the purpose of oil and mineral exploration. Currently, there are no
leases in effect.
Twenty-three wells have been drilled during the years that the Company has
been leasing subsurface rights to oil companies. The drilling has resulted
in twenty-one dry holes, one marginal producer, which has been abandoned,
and one average producer, still producing.
Mining Operations: Rock and Sand
_________________________________
The Company leases 7,927 acres in Lee County, Florida to Florida Rock
Industries, Inc. of Jacksonville, Florida for mining and production of
rock, aggregate, sand, baserock and other road building and construction
materials.
Royalties which the company receives for these products are based on a
percentage of the f.o.b. plant sales price.
<PAGE>
Competition
___________
As indicated, the Company is primarily engaged in a limited number of
agricultural activities, all of which are highly competitive. For
instance, citrus is grown in several states, the most notable of which are:
Florida, California, Arizona and Texas. In addition, citrus and sugarcane
products are imported from some foreign countries. Beef cattle are
produced throughout the United States and domestic beef sales must also
compete with sales of imported beef. Additionally, forest and rock
products are produced in most parts of the United States. Leasing of land
for oil exploration is also widespread.
The Company's share of the market for citrus, cattle and forest products in
the United States is insignificant.
Environmental Regulations
_________________________
The Company's operation is subject to various federal, state and local laws
regulating the discharge of materials into the environment. The Company is
in substantial compliance with all such rules and such compliance has not
had a material effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the
competitive position of the Company.
While compliance with environmental regulations has not had a material
economic effect on the Company's operations, executive officers are
required to spend a considerable amount of time keeping current on these
matters. In addition, there are ongoing costs incurred in complying with
the permitting and reporting requirements.
Employees
_________
At the end of August 1995 the Company had a total of 138 full-time
employees classified as follows: Citrus 60; Ranch 24; Sugarcane 10;
Facilities Maintenance Support 29; General and Administrative 15. There
are no employees engaged in the development of new products or research.
Seasonal Nature of Business
___________________________
As with any agribusiness enterprise, the Company's business operations are
predominantly seasonal in nature. The harvest and sale of citrus fruit
generally occurs from October to June. Cattle sales usually occur in the
first and fourth quarters of the fiscal year, with the majority occurring
in the fourth quarter. Sugarcane is harvested during the first, second and
third quarters. Other segments of the Company's business such as its
timber, mining and leasing operations, tend to be more successive than
seasonal in nature.
<PAGE>
Item 2. Properties.
____________________________
At August 31, 1995, the Company owned a total of 164,581 acres of land
located in four counties in Florida. Acreage in each county and the
primary classification with respect to present use of these properties is
shown in the following table:

</TABLE>
Of the above lands, the Company utilizes 25,308 acres of improved pasture
plus approximately 60,000 acres of native pasture for cattle production and
7,927 acres are leased for rock mining operations. Much of the land is
also leased for multi-purpose use such as cattle grazing, oil exploration,
agriculture and recreation.
In addition to the land shown in the above table, the Company owns full
subsurface rights to 1,173 acres and fractional subsurface rights to 18,882
acres.
From the inception of the Company's initial development program in 1948,
the goal has been to develop the lands for the most profitable use. Prior
to implementation of the development program, detailed studies were made of
the properties focusing on soil capabilities, topography, transportation,
availability of markets and the climatic characteristics of each of the
tracts. Based on these and later studies, the use of each tract was
determined. It is the opinion of Management that the lands are suitable
for agricultural, residential and commercial uses. However, since the
Company is primarily engaged in agricultural activities, some of the lands
are considered surplus to its needs for this purpose and, as indicated
under Item 1 of this report, sales of real property are made from time to
time.
Management believes that each of the major programs is adequately supported
by agricultural equipment, buildings, fences, irrigation systems and other
amenities required for the operation of the projects.
<PAGE>
In October 1992 the Company entered into a contract, with the Board of
Regents of the State of Florida, committing to a donation of 975 acres of
land and other items, in connection with a new state university. In
addition to the contribution of land, the following items and amounts were
also committed: design and planning - $200,000; academic chairs -
$1,200,000; road construction - $2,400,000.
Governmental approvals have been obtained to develop approximately 2,500
acres surrounding the University site. However, the development schedule
of the University is subject to the appropriation of funds by the
legislature. Currently, construction is expected to begin in January 1996
with the opening to occur in the fall of 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
_______________________________
The Company had cash and marketable securities of $10.6 million at August
31, 1995 compared with $9.7 million at August 31, 1994. Working capital
also increased, from $22.7 million at August 31, 1994 to $26.1 million at
August 31, 1995. Reinvestment of interest and dividends earned on cash and
marketable securities increased the Company's position in these assets.
In addition, the retained ownership of feeder cattle (as explained in the
Ranching Operations section) has resulted in an increase in inventories at
year end ($13.1 million vs $10.7 million at August 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively).
<PAGE>
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company sold 5,800 acres in
Polk County, Florida to the State of Florida in a sale negotiated by The
Nature Conservancy through the State's Conservation and Recreation Lands
Program.
Permits have been issued by the South Florida Water Management District and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to begin construction on the new university.
The Company has provided a construction road as part of its road construction
commitment. Actual construction on the university is anticipated to begin in
the spring of 1996. Current plans are to have the core buildings completed for
a projected opening in the fall of 1997.
In connection with the examination by the Internal Revenue Service (see
note 8) for the years ended August 31, 1992, 1991 and 1990, a partial
settlement was made in April of 1995 relating to the year ended August 31,
1990. A payment of $385 thousand was made of which $260 thousand
represented taxes and $125 thousand represented interest. The issues
conceded related to the timing of items previously expensed. When the
matter is completely resolved, any income taxes due will become currently
payable. However, virtually all of the adjustments relate to differences
of opinion regarding the timing of recognition of various deductions and,
as a result, provision has been made through deferred income taxes and no
further significant adjustment to earnings will be necessary. Management
expects to resolve the remaining proposed adjustments during fiscal 1996.
Cash outlay for land, equipment, buildings, and other improvements totaled
$8.3 million, compared to $7.6 million during August 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Major expenditures included capitalized maintenance costs
for young citrus groves and development of a new citrus grove. Land
excavation for farm leasing also continued, as did expenditures for
replacement equipment and sugarcane capital maintenance. Development is
now complete on citrus groves. Capital projects are currently expected to
decline during the next fiscal year.
Management believes that the Company will be able to meet its working
capital requirements with internally generated funds. In addition, the
Company has an unused credit commitment which provides for revolving credit
of up to $25 million of which $8.9 million was available for the Company's
general use at August 31, 1995 (see note 6).

Operating Revenue
_________________
Fiscal 1995 operating revenues decreased by 8 percent from fiscal 1994.
The decrease was primarily attributable to lower agricultural revenues.
Fiscal 1994 operating revenues were up 22 percent over fiscal 1993. The
increase primarily reflected improved earnings from agricultural
activities.
Gross Profit
____________
Gross profit during fiscal 1995 declined by 7 percent from fiscal 1994.
The decrease was attributable to higher production costs for citrus,
decreased sugarcane production, and lower market prices for beef, combined
with decreased sales volume.
Gross profit during fiscal 1994 was up 83 percent over fiscal 1993. The
increase was attributable to higher market prices for citrus, increased
sugarcane production and higher market prices for beef, combined with
increased sales volume.
Profit (Loss) on Sale of Real Estate
____________________________________
The Company recognized a $7.6 million profit from real estate sales during
fiscal 1995, compared to a $3.7 million profit during fiscal 1994. The
fiscal 1995 profit is attributable to the sale of 5,800 acres in Polk
County, Florida to the State of Florida.
The Company recognized a $3.7 million profit from the sale of real estate
during fiscal 1994 compared to a $121 thousand loss during fiscal 1993.
The fiscal 1994 profit was attributable to the sale of 40 acres in the
proximity of the site of the new university in Lee County, Florida.
<PAGE>
Interest and Investment Income
______________________________
Interest and investment income is generated principally from investments in
marketable equity securities, corporate and municipal bonds, mutual funds,
U.S. Treasury securities and mortgages held on real estate sold on the
installment basis. Investment earnings were reinvested throughout fiscal
1995 and 1994, increasing investment levels during each year. The decline
in fiscal 1995 interest and investment income reflects an increase in
equity securities.
Interest and investment income was higher in 1994 than fiscal 1993
primarily because of higher investment levels.
Interest Expense
________________
Interest expense rose 74 and 33 percent during fiscal 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The rise in both years was due to interest rate increases
during the year, combined with an increase in the level of borrowings
during the year. However, proceeds from the Polk County real estate sale
were subsequently used to reduce debt principal. Total interest cost,
which includes capitalized interest and is discussed in Note 6, increased
69 percent during fiscal 1995 and 19 percent during fiscal 1994, compared
to each respective prior fiscal year.
Provision for Income Taxes
__________________________
The effective tax rate was 38.2 percent during fiscal year 1995, compared
to 34 percent during fiscal 1994 and 33.7 percent in fiscal 1993. The
increase was due to deferred tax accruals to provide for the effects of the
IRS audit (see note 8).
Net Income Before Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change
________________________________________________________
As a result of the factors discussed above, fiscal 1995 earnings increased
16 percent compared to fiscal 1994, while fiscal 1994 earnings were up
261.3 percent compared to fiscal 1993 earnings before the cumulative effect
of the accounting change.

2,212 acres in 1994 and $730 thousand on 1,435 acres in 1993.
Citrus
______
Gross profit was $5.4 million for fiscal 1995 and 1994, and $3.1 million
for fiscal 1993.
Citrus revenue for fiscal 1995 rose 5 percent over fiscal 1994 ($19.7
million during fiscal 1995 vs. $18.8 million during fiscal 1994), the
result of a 7 percent production increase for the year, as 3.4 million
boxes were harvested during fiscal 1995, compared to 3.2 million boxes
during fiscal 1994. Direct production costs increased 11 percent over
fiscal 1994 ($5.5 million during fiscal 1995 vs $4.9 million during fiscal
1994), while allocated costs remained constant for fiscal 1995 and 1994 at
$2.2 million each year.
The rise in citrus revenue was largely attributable to the increase in
production discussed above. The average market price, however, declined 2
percent ($5.80 per box in fiscal 1995 vs. $5.94 per box in fiscal 1994).
<PAGE>
The increase in direct production was due, in part, to the addition of the last
phase of the Corkscrew West Grove. Additionally, cultivation costs increased.
These expenses are typically impacted by various circumstances, such as, the
weather, insect and other parasite pressure, combined with various disease
prevention and treatment programs. The Company practices cultivation techniques
that are designed to maintain yield per acre and maximize the related cost to
benefit ratio.
Citrus revenue during fiscal 1994 rose 14 percent over fiscal 1993 ($18.8
million during fiscal 1994 vs. $16.5 million during fiscal 1993).
Production increased by 2 percent over the fiscal 1993 level of 3.1 million
boxes to 3.2 million boxes during fiscal 1994. Direct production and
allocated costs during fiscal 1994 decreased 4 percent compared to fiscal
1993 ($7.1 million vs. $7.5 million, respectively).
The rise in citrus revenue during fiscal 1994 as compared to fiscal 1993
was attributable to increased market prices for citrus products. Market
prices increased 12 percent, averaging $5.94 per box and $5.31 per box
during fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The final returns from citrus pools are not precisely determinable at year
end. Returns are estimated each year based on the most current information
available conservatively applied. Differences between the estimates and
the final realization of revenues can be significant. Revenue collected in
excess of prior year and year end estimates was $1.8 million, $1.7 million
and $1.4 million during fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Sugarcane
_________
Gross profit for fiscal 1995 was $1.8 million compared to $2.1 million for
fiscal 1994 and $954 thousand for fiscal 1993.
Sugarcane revenue decreased 12 percent during fiscal 1995 compared to
fiscal 1994 ($6.0 million vs. $6.8 million, respectively). Direct
production and allocated costs decreased 6 percent during the year ($3.0
million vs. $3.2 million during fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively).
The sugarcane revenue and cost decreases were the result of an 11 percent
decrease in the number of acres harvested during the year (5,000 acres in
fiscal 1995 vs. 5,626 acres in fiscal 1994).
Sugarcane earnings in fiscal 1994 were 22 percent higher than in fiscal
1993 ($2.1 vs. $954 thousand in fiscal 1994 and 1993, respectively). The
earnings increase was largely attributable to a 39 percent rise in crop
yield during fiscal 1994, compared to fiscal 1993. The yield increase was
mostly due to an increase in acres harvested during the year (5,626 acres
harvested in fiscal 1994 vs. 4,625 in fiscal 1993).
Ranching
________
Gross profit from ranch operations for fiscal 1995, 1994 and 1993 was $506
thousand, $1.7 million, $908 thousand, respectively.
Ranch revenue declined 47 percent during fiscal 1995, compared to fiscal
1994 ($3.0 million in fiscal 1995 vs. $5.5 million in fiscal 1994). Direct
production and allocated costs decreased 36 percent during the same period
($2.4 million in fiscal 1995 vs. $3.8 million in fiscal 1994).
Due to current market conditions, the Company has retained ownership in calves
which would have been sold in prior years, in an attempt to improve gross profit
per head. This has resulted in a large increase in the inventory of animals
available for sale, compared to the prior year ($4.4 million vs. $2.2 million in
fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively). Additionally, the Company has purchased
futures contracts (see note 4) to hedge against future price declines.
As a result of the factors referred to above, 44 percent fewer animals were sold
in fiscal 1995 than in fiscal 1994 (6,482 sold in fiscal 1995 vs. 11,525 in
fiscal 1994).
<PAGE>
The decrease in direct production and allocated costs was also caused by the
decrease in the number of animals sold.
Ranch revenues increased 43 percent during fiscal 1994, compared to fiscal
1993 ($5.5 million in fiscal 1994 vs. $3.9 million during fiscal 1993) due
to more units sold during 1994 (11,525 units sold in fiscal 1994 as
compared to 8,565 in fiscal 1993) and increased sales weights. Total
direct production and allocated costs increased 30 percent during the same
period ($3.8 million vs. $3.0 million during fiscal 1994 and 1993,
respectively) also due to the increased sales volume. This increase was
offset somewhat by a 3 percent decrease in the average cost per head sold.
Other Operations
________________
Revenues from oil royalties and land rentals were $678 thousand for fiscal
1995 compared to $708 thousand and $474 thousand for fiscal 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The decline during fiscal 1995 from fiscal 1994 was due to a
decline in grazing and recreational leases due to land sales and
development around the university site.
Returns from rock products and sand were $955 thousand for fiscal 1995
compared to $1.1 million and $913 thousand for fiscal 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The variations between each of the years is due to the
overall economic situation in the construction and road building
industries. Rock and sand supplies are sufficient, and no major price
changes have occurred over the past 3 years.
Profits from the sale of sabal palms, for landscaping purposes, during
fiscal 1995 were $146 thousand compared to $134 thousand and $236 thousand
for fiscal years 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Direct and allocated expenses charged to the "Other" operations category
included general and administrative and other costs not charged directly to
citrus, ranching, sugarcane or forestry. These expenses totaled $2.5
million during fiscal 1995 compared to $3.6 million during fiscal 1994 and
$2.6 million during fiscal 1993. The decrease of fiscal 1995 from fiscal
1994, was largely due to the donation of land for the new university
included in the 1994 expenses totaling $880 thousand. This is also the
cause of the fiscal 1994 increase, compared to fiscal 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended August 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
__________________________________________
(a) Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
_________________________________________
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of
Alico, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary,
Saddlebag Lake Resorts, Inc. (Saddlebag), after elimination of
all significant intercompany balances and transactions.
(b) Revenue Recognition
___________________
Income from sales of citrus under marketing pool agreements is
recognized at the time the crop is harvested. The revenue is
based on the Company's estimates of the amounts to be received as
the sales of pooled products are completed. Fluxuation in the
market prices for citrus fruit has caused the Company to
recognize additional revenue from the prior years' crop totaling
$1,770,146, $1,697,547, and $1,352,454 during fiscal years 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively.
(c) Real Estate
___________
Real estate sales are recorded under the accrual method of
accounting. Retail land sales are not recognized until payments
received, including interest, aggregate 10 percent of the
contract sales price for residential real estate or 20 percent
for commercial real estate. Sales are discounted to yield the
market rate of interest where the stated rate is less than the
market rate. The recorded valuation discounts are realized as
the balances due are collected. In the event of early
liquidation, interest is recognized on the simple interest
method.
Tangible assets that are purchased during the period to aid in
the sale of the project as well as costs for services performed
to obtain regulatory approval of the sales are capitalized as
land and land improvements to the extent they are estimated to be
recoverable from the sale of the property. Land and land
improvement costs are allocated to individual parcels on a per
lot basis which approximates the relative sales value method.
<PAGE>
(1), Continued
The Company has entered into an agreement with a real estate
consultant to assist in obtaining the necessary regulatory
approvals for the development and marketing of a tract of raw
land. The marketing costs under this agreement are being
expensed as incurred. The costs incurred to obtain the necessary
regulatory approvals are capitalized into land costs when paid.
These costs will be expensed as cost of sales when the underlying
real estate is sold.
(d) Marketable Securities Available for Sale
________________________________________
For the year ending August 31, 1995, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Prior years' consolidated financial statements have
not been restated to retroactively apply the provisions of this
statement.
At August 31, 1995, marketable securities available for sale are
carried at the aggregate market value of the portfolio. Aggregate
net unrealized investment gains or losses are recorded net of
related deferred taxes in a separate component of equity until
realized.
At August 31, 1994, marketable securities available for sale are
carried at the lower of the aggregate cost or market value of the
portfolio. Aggregate net unrealized investment losses are included
in the results of operations.
The cost of all marketable securities available for sale are
determined on the specific identification method.
(e) Inventories
___________
Beef cattle inventories are stated at the lower of cost or
market. The cost of the beef cattle inventory is based on the
accumulated cost of developing such animals for sale.
Unharvested crops are stated at the lower of cost or market. The
cost for unharvested crops is based on accumulated production
costs incurred during the eight month period from January 1
through August 31.
(f) Property, Buildings and Equipment
_________________________________
Property, buildings and equipment are stated at cost. Properties
acquired from the Company's predecessor corporation in exchange
for common stock issued in 1960, at the inception of the Company,
are stated on the basis of cost to the predecessor corporation.
Property acquired as part of a land exchange trust is valued at
the carrying value of the property transferred to the trust.
<PAGE>
The breeding herd consists of purchased animals and animals
raised on the Ranch. Purchased animals are stated at cost. The
cost of animals raised on the ranch is based on the accumulated
cost of developing such animals for productive use.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is computed on
straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful
lives of the various classes of depreciable assets.
(g) Income Taxes
____________
In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ACCOUNTING
FOR INCOME TAXES. Statement 109 requires a change from the
deferred method of accounting for income taxes of APB Opinion 11
to the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Under the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are
expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Effective September 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement 109
and has reported the cumulative effect of that change in the
method of accounting for income taxes in the fiscal 1993
consolidated statement of operations.
(h) Earnings Per Share
__________________
Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the year.
(i) Cash Flows
__________
For purposes of the cash flows, cash and cash investments include
cash on hand and amounts due from banks with an original maturity
of less than three months.
(j) Reclassifications
_________________
Certain amounts from 1994 and 1993 have been reclassified to
conform to the 1995 presentation.
<PAGE>
(2) Marketable Securities Available for Sale
________________________________________
The Company implemented Statement of Financial Auditing Standards
(SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" as of September 1, 1994. Prior years' consolidated
financial statements have not been restated to retroactively apply the
provisions of this statement.
SFAS 115 changes the way the Company determines the carrying value of
certain debt and equity investments. Under prior guidelines,
investments were carried at the lower of cost or fair market value.
Gains or losses on the individual securities were recognized in
earnings when the investments were sold.
At August 31, 1994, the marketable equity securities, which had a
cost basis of $4,038,704, were carried at market. The unrealized loss,
totaling $22,167, was included in the results of operations for the year
then ended.
Under SFAS 115, the Company has classified 100% of its investments in
marketable securities as available-for-sale and, as such, the seccurities
are carried at fair market value. Any unrealized gains and losses, net of
related deferred taxes, are recorded as a net amount in a separate
component of equity until realized.
The amortized cost and estimated market values of marketable securities at
August 31, 1995 and 1994 (in thousands) were as follows:

Subject to prevailing market conditions, the Company may hedge up to 50% of
its beef inventory by entering into cattle futures contracts to reduce
exposure to changes in market prices. The Company has designated these
agreements as a hedge and, therefore, any gains or losses anticipated under
these agreements will be deferred, with the cost of the related cattle
being adjusted when the contracts are settled.

The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", during the year ended August 31,
1993. The cumulative effect of this change was a one-time increase to
earnings of $2,337,000 or $.33 per share.
Some items of revenue and expense included in the statement of operations
may not be currently taxable or deductible on the income tax returns.
Therefore, income tax assets and liabilities are divided into a current
portion, which is the amount attributable to the current year's tax return,
and a deferred portion, which is the amount attributable to another year's
tax return. The revenue and expense items not currently taxable or
deductible are called temporary differences.
At August 31, 1995 the Company had an unused charitable contribution
carryover totaling $10,845,000. Management estimates that $2,100,000 will
be used to reduce taxable income over the next five years. As a result,
the estimated unusable portion of the carryover has been set up as the
valuation amount in the deferred tax asset schedule below. The
contribution carryover expires in 1999.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant
portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are
presented below (in thousands):

The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service
for the years ended August 31, 1992, 1991 and 1990. The adjustments
proposed to date by the Internal Revenue Service would potentially result
in approximately $6.9 million in additional income taxes. When the matter
is resolved, any income taxes due will become currently payable. However,
the majority of the proposed adjustments relate to the timing of
recognition of certain income and expense items already provided for in the
Company's deferred tax liability accounts.
A partial settlement was reached with the Internal Revenue Service during
April of 1995. A payment of $385,043 was made consisting of $260,259
income taxes and $124,784 interest. The items conceded related to the
timing of recognition of certain items previously expensed. The effect of
this payment was to increase interest expense by $124,784 and reduce the
current deferred tax liability by $260,259.
Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of the remaining
proposed adjustments will not have a significant adverse effect on the
financial position or operations of the Company.

Hill Griffin, Inc. (Griffin) for the years ended August 31, 1995, 1994 and
1993, respectively. Griffin is the owner of 49.71 percent of the Company's
common stock. Accounts receivable from citrus sales, included in the
accompanying balance sheets, include amounts due from Griffin totaling
$5,272,823 and $5,233,312 at August 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. These
amounts represent estimated revenues to be received periodically under
pooling agreements as the sale of pooled products is completed.
Harvesting, marketing, and processing costs, related to the citrus sales
noted above, totaled $5,732,506, $5,437,019, and $5,371,996 for the years
ended August 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. In addition, Griffin
provided the harvesting services for citrus sold to an unrelated processor.
The aggregate cost of these services was $764,082, $738,737 and $445,616
for the years ended August 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
accompanying balance sheets include accounts payable to Griffin for citrus

(10) Commitment
__________
During October 1992 the Company entered into an agreement to donate land,
improvements and other items, to the State of Florida, to be used as a site
for a new university. The gift included 975 acres of land, road
construction, engineering and planning services, assistance with utility
costs and academic chairs. The commitment was recorded as a contribution
in May 1994 when the title to the land was transferred. Costs related to
road construction have been accrued and capitalized into land. Other costs
will be expensed as incurred.
