Alico, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALCO), a land management company, announced a net loss for
the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $1.4 million or $0.19 per share
compared with a loss of&#160;&#160;$0.2 million or $0.02 per share, for the
three months ended December 31, 2008.&#160;&#160;Earnings from interest on
mortgages, real estate sales and agriculture operations were below prior year
results and combined to cause the earnings decline.</font></div>

revenues were $14.1 million and $20.3 million during the three months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.&#160;&#160;Operations produced a gross
loss of $1.1 million during the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared
with a loss of $0.7 million during the three months ended December 31,
2008.&#160;&#160;The decreases in revenue and gross profits were primarily due
to lower revenues and profits from agriculture operations.</font></div>

Smith, President and Principal Executive Officer, noted, &#8220;The Florida citrus
harvest began later for the 2009-10 season than in 2008-09 which has resulted in
reduced revenue and gross profit from agricultural operations during the first
quarter.&#160;&#160;We expect this timing difference to reverse during the
quarter ending March 31, 2010.&#160;&#160;Additionally, interest revenue and
real estate revenue were reduced during the first quarter of fiscal year 2010
when compared with the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 due to a purchaser
default on a mortgage in April of 2009.&#160;&#160;We continue our cost
reduction strategy and are seeing promising results.&#160;&#160;We do not expect
a drastic improvement in profitability until the real estate market begins to
recover.&#8221;</font></div>
