This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment No. 3") amends and supplements
the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 2, 2004, by Atlantic Blue Trust, Inc., a Florida corporation, and
Alico Holding, LLC, a Nevada limited liability company, as such original
filing was amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1, filed on August 26,
2004, and Amendment No. 2, filed on October 15, 2004 (as amended, the
"Schedule 13D"). Except as indicated in this Amendment No. 3, all other
information set forth in the Schedule 13D remains unchanged and capitalized
terms used herein which are not defined herein have the meanings set forth in
the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by
adding the following paragraph at the end of Item 4:
On December 16, 2004, representatives and principals of National Land
Partners met with the chair of the special committee of the Issuer's board of
directors and representatives of ABT and ABT's stockholders. The purpose of
the meeting was to discuss National Land Partners' proposal to acquire the
Issuer. At the conclusion of the meeting, the representatives of ABT and its
stockholders advised National Land Partners and the special committee that
neither ABT nor any of ABT's stockholders would be interested in selling the
shares of the Issuer's common stock held by ABT at the price offered by
National Land Partners or even at a substantially higher price.
On December 21, 2004, National Land Partners announced that it will
not proceed with a transaction to acquire the Issuer without the support of
ABT and its stockholders. In light of this announcement and ABT's unequivocal
position that its shares of the Issuer are not for sale, ABT believes that
National Land Partners does not have an outstanding proposal to acquire the
Issuer.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Subsection (a) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) According to the Issuer's annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on November 15, 2004, there were 7,319,357 shares of Common Stock
issued and outstanding on November 3, 2004. The Reporting Persons beneficially
own, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of 3,493,777 shares of Common Stock
(representing approximately 47.7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock),
all of which are directly owned by Holding.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief,
I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete
