On December 18, 2020, the Company sold approximately 600 acres of the East Ranch for approximately $2,630,000 and recognized a gain of approximately $2,550,000. Additionally, the Company sold several smaller parcels of the East Ranch during the six months ended March 31, 2021, which generated a gain of approximately $504,000.

 

On September 10, 2020, the State of Florida purchased, under the Florida Forever program, approximately 10,700 acres of the Alico Ranch for approximately $28,500,000 pursuant to an option agreement entered into between the State of Florida and the Company. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $27,470,000. The Company subsequently used a portion of the net cash proceeds to purchase a like-kind asset in October 2020, which allowed the Company to defer a portion of the tax impact of the gain on sale of the ranch land (see Note 4. Property and Equipment, Net).

 

On March 27, 2020, the Company sold certain sections at the East Ranch for approximately $2,980,000 and realized a gain of approximately $2,748,000. The Company subsequently used substantially all of the net cash proceeds to purchase a like-kind asset in May 2020, which has allowed the Company to defer substantially all of the tax impact of the gain on sale of the ranch land.
