                              ALICO, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (See Accountants' Review Report)

1.  Basis of financial statement presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the 
accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Saddlebag Lake 
Resorts, Inc., after elimination of all significant intercompany balances 
and transactions.

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 year ended August 31, 1995.  
In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recur-
ring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial 
position at November 30, 1995 and August 31, 1995 and the consolidated results 
of operations and cash flows for the three months ended November 30, 1995 and 
1994.

The basic business of the Company is agriculture which is of a seasonal nature 
and subject to the influence of natural phenomena and wide price fluctuations.  
Fluctuation in the market prices for citrus fruit has caused the Company to 
recognize additional revenue from the prior year's crop totaling $482,211 in 
1995 and $283,492 in 1994.  The results of operations for the stated periods 
are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

2.  Accounts and mortgage notes receivable:

Mortgage notes receivable are recorded under the accrual method of accounting.  
Under this method, a sale is not recognized until payment is received, 
including interest, aggregating 10% of the contract sales price for 
residential properties and 20% for commercial properties.

3.  Inventories:

    A summary of the Company's inventories (in thousands) is shown below:

                                         November 30,         August 31,

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 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 adjust-
ments 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 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.

5.  Indebtedness:

The Company has a financing agreement with a commercial bank that permits the 
Company to borrow up to $25 million.  The financing agreement allows the Company 
to borrow up to $22,000,000 which is due in January 1997 and up to $3,000,000 
which is due on demand.  The total amount of long-term debt under this agreement 
at November 30, 1995 and August 31, 1995 was $19,590,000 and $16,055,000, 
respectively.

Interest cost expensed and capitalized during the three months 
ended November 30, 1995 and November 30, 1994 was as follows:

                                      1995                1994

6.  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.

7.  Accountants' review report:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been 
reviewed by the Company's independent auditors in accordance with standards for 
such limited reviews established by the American Institute of Certified Public 
Accountants.  The report of such auditors with respect to their limited review 
is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

Working capital increased to $26,998,948 at November 30, 1995, up from 
$26,079,408 at August 31, 1995.  As of November 30, 1995 the Company had cash 
and cash investments of $1,597,381 compared to $1,148,733 at August 31, 1995  
Marketable securities decreased from $9,410,936 to $9,056,883 during the same 
period.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased from 5.61
to 1 at August 31, 1995 to 7.06 to 1 at November 30, 1995.  Total assets 
increased by $553,466 from $109,007,179 at August 31, 1995 to $109,560,645 at 
November 30, 1995.

The working capital increase ($919,540) is primarily the result of the   
decrease in current liabilities ($5,656,454 vs. $4,453,660 at August 31, 1995 
and November 30, 1995, respectively).  Ad valorem taxes ($1,076,241) and the 
profit sharing plan contribution ($217,968), accrued at August 31, 1995 were 
paid during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.    

In connection with a financing agreement with a commercial bank (See Note 5 
under Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements), the Company has 
an unused availability of funds of approximately $5.4 million at   
November 30, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

When compared to the same period a year ago, net income increased $226,313          
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996.  Income before income taxes 
increased $346,237 during the first quarter of fiscal 1996, when compared to 
the same period a year ago, largely due to an increase in earnings 
from agricultural activities ($1,136,019 vs. $840,208 during the first   
quarters of fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.)

Citrus earnings increased during the first quarter of fiscal 1996, when  
compared to the same period last year ($795,512 vs. $305,978), primarily the  
result of improved market prices for citrus products.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued):


Sugarcane earnings, during the first quarter, approximated those of the same 
period a year ago ($334,852 vs. $369,751 during the first quarter of fiscal 
1996 and 1995, respectively).  Ranch earnings, however, decreased $158,824 
during the first quarter of fiscal 1996, compared to the first quarter of 
fiscal 1995 ($5,655 vs. $164,479, respectively).  A decrease in market prices 
for beef is the primary cause for the decrease in profits for this division.

Land preparation activities are underway for the new Florida Gulf Coast
University which is scheduled to open in August 1997.  The Company is 
continuing its marketing and permit activities for its land which surrounds
the University site.

                 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANT'S REVIEW REPORT
                 ______________________________________


The Stockholders and
  Board of Directors 
Alico, Inc:


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Alico, Inc. and 
subsidiary as of November 30, 1995, and the related condensed consolidated 
statements of operations and retained earnings for the three-month periods ended
November 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related condensed consolidated statements of 
cash flows for the three-month periods ended November 30, 1995 and 1994, in 
accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services 
issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of obtaining an 
understanding of the system for the preparation of interim financial informa-
tion, applying analytical review procedures to financial data, and making 
inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is
substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion 
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not 
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should 
be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for 
them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Alico, Inc. and subsidiary as of 
August 31, 1995 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stock-
holders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); 
and in our report dated October 6, 1995, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set 
forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of August 31, 
1995, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the balance 
sheet from which it has been derived.
