NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- ---------------------------------------------------

Business of the Company
- --------------------------------
Cadiz Land Company, Inc. (the "Company") identifies, acquires and
develops properties (to date in the desert regions of Southern California)
which have significant indigenous supplies of water. The Company
evaluates, on an ongoing basis, the various means by which the land and
water resources available to its portfolio of properties can be utilized for
the purposes of enhancing the long-term appreciation of its properties. The
Company currently owns or controls approximately 43,000 acres, with its
largest property totalling approximately 31,800 acres at Cadiz, California.

Basis of Presentation
- --------------------------------
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by
the Company without audit and should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's latest Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996. The
foregoing Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation. The results of
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- ------------------------------------------------------
See Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included
in the Company's latest Form 10-K for a discussion of the Company's
accounting policies.

Net loss per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding of 19,257,667 and 17,023,069 for the quarters ending
June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 3-ACQUISITION OF SUN WORLD INTERNATIONAL, INC.
- -------------------------------------------------------
A consensual Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") for the acquisition of Sun
World International, Inc. ("Sun World") by the Company (Debtors'
Modified Fourth Amended Consolidated Plan of Reorganization dated June
3, 1996) was confirmed at a hearing on July 12, 1996. Upon satisfaction of
all Plan requirements (including completion of satisfactory documentation),
ownership of Sun World is expected to be transferred to the Company
during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1996. For a detailed
description of the acquisition, see Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, included in the Company's latest Form 10-K.


NOTE 4 - STOCK OPTIONS EXERCISED AND PRIVATE PLACEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------
During the three months ended June 30, 1996, previously outstanding stock
options of 152,778 were exercised resulting in gross proceeds to the
Company of $629,000.

Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company completed a
private placement of 760 shares of 6% Convertible Series B Preferred Stock
resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $7,600,000.


NOTE 5 - CONTINGENCIES
- ---------------------------------------
The Company was awarded full reimbursement for its legal fees and costs
incurred in defending a legal action for which the plaintiffs filed an appeal.
In August 1995, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the trial
court's judgment upholding the award for full reimbursement to the
Company for such legal fees and costs incurred. In addition, the Court of
Appeals has awarded the Company reimbursement for legal fees on appeal.
The plaintiffs posted a cash bond from which the Company collected its
judgment of approximately $269,000.

As further discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements included in the Company's latest Form 10-K, the Company filed
an action relative to the proposed construction and operation of a landfill to
be located adjacent to the Company's Cadiz property (the Rail Cycle
Project), with the Superior Court in San Bernardino County against the
County of San Bernardino and Rail Cycle, L.P., among others. The action
is currently in the discovery phase and the Company intends to continue to
vigorously prosecute its claims in this matter.

Results of Operations
- -------------------------------
Quarter ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Quarter ended June 30, 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company incurred a net loss
of $1,987,000 compared to a loss of $1,851,000 during the same period in
1995. The following table summarizes the net loss for both periods (in
thousands):

1996 1995
-------- --------
Revenues $ 82 $ 54
------- --------
Costs and expenses:
Resource development 580 434
Landfill prevention activities 127 356
General and administrative 934 415
Depreciation 200 202
Amortization 58 58
Interest expense, net 439 440
Litigation settlement (269) -0-
--------- ---------

Net loss $ 1,987 $ 1,851
======= =========
Revenues
- -------------
Revenues are recognized from the Company's resource development as a
result of the Company's ability to enter into joint venture or leasing
arrangements with third party growers for the farming of crops on its
properties. Revenue in both periods consisted primarily of vineyard rent,
proceeds from other crops and gross profit from the produce brokerage
operation.

Resource Development
- -----------------------------
Expenses recorded in this category consist of costs incurred in the
agricultural, land and water resource development of the Company's
landholdings. As an integral part of its strategy to control the ultimate
use of the resources associated with the Cadiz project, the Company
continues to maintain control of management of both the infrastructure
associated with these properties as well as the development of the area
for agricultural use. Accordingly, costs related to the Company's
management of its infrastructure and agricultural development are
included in Resource Development, as well as the Company's share of
joint venture crop costs. Additionally, operating costs associated with
the Company's produce brokerage and the Company's continual
evaluation of additional potential land acquisition sites, such as overhead,
legal and travel are included within this category.

Resource development expenses totaled $580,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 as compared to $434,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increase is primarily attributable to the Company's share of joint venture
production costs associated with the development of an additional 240
acres to row crops at the beginning of the 1996 fiscal year, as well as an
increase in costs associated with the management of the Cadiz ranch with
respect to the additional acreage.

Landfill Prevention Activities
- -------------------------------------
The Company is engaged in vigorous opposition to the proposed
construction and operation of a landfill proposed to be located adjacent to
Company's Cadiz property, and has filed a lawsuit seeking, among other
things, to set aside regulatory approvals for the landfill project. See
"Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" in the Company's latest 10-K. During the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, expenses incurred in connection with
activities in opposition to the project, such as litigation costs and
professional fees and expenses, totalled $127,000 as compared to
$356,000 during the same period of the prior year.

General and Administrative
- -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses during both periods consisted
primarily of corporate operating expenses, professional fees and salaries.
These expenses increased by $519,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 due to an increase in the level
of activity primarily as a result of the acquisition of Sun World.

Depreciation
- ----------------
Depreciation totalled $200,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to $202,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Interest Expense
- ------------------------
Net interest expense totaled $439,000 during the quarter ended June 30,
1996 as compared to $440,000 during the same period in 1995. The
following table summarizes the components of net interest expense for
the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):

1996 1995
------ --------
Interest expense on outstanding debt $ 256 $ 246
Amortization of financing costs 210 210
Interest income (27) (16)
------- ---------

Net interest expense $ 439 $ 440
====== ======

Interest expense on outstanding debt increased during the period as a
result of an increased level of borrowing. Financing costs are
amortized over the life of the debt agreement.

Litigation Settlement
- -------------------------
The Company was awarded and received approximately $269,000 as
full reimbursement for its legal fees and costs incurred in defending a
legal action.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- --------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- --------------------------------
Pursuant to its business strategy, the Company has historically utilized
its working capital primarily for development purposes; that is, for
purposes designed to increase the long term value of its properties. As
the Company has not received significant revenues from its
development operations to date, the Company has been required to
obtain financing to bridge the gap between the time development
expenses are incurred and the time that a revenue stream will
commence. Accordingly, the Company has looked to outside funding
sources to address its liquidity and working capital needs. Historically,
the Company has addressed these needs primarily through secured debt
financing arrangements with its lenders, private equity placements and
the exercise of outstanding stock options. See "Current Financing
Arrangements" and "Equity Placements", below.

A consensual plan of reorganization for the acquisition by the
Company of all of the stock of a reorganized Sun World for total
consideration of approximately $175 million was confirmed by the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court on July 12, 1996. Of this amount,
approximately $153 million will be owed to Sun World's existing
secured lenders through a restructuring of existing debt. Substantially all
of the remainder of the purchase price will be funded by the Company
from the proceeds of the issuance of preferred stock. See "Equity
Placements", below. In addition, the Company will make a cash capital
contribution of $15 million into Sun World, with the intent of
eliminating the requirement for Sun World to have any additional debt
facilities beyond those owed to its existing secured creditors. As a
result, the Company believes that additional outside funding will not be
required in order for Sun World to meet its ongoing working capital
needs.


Current Financing Arrangements
- -------------------------------

The Company's two primary lenders are Cooperative Centrale
Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., a Netherlands commercial bank
("Rabobank") and Henry Ansbacher & Co., Limited, a banking
corporation organized under the laws of England ("Ansbacher")
(collectively, the "Banks").

The Company's obligations to Rabobank and Ansbacher totalling
approximately $18,000,000 mature in January 1997. In July 1996, the
Company and Rabobank reached an agreement in principle whereby
the Company has been granted two one year extensions provided the
total debt outstanding to Rabobank at January 31, 1997 does not exceed
$8.5 million. In consideration for this agreement, the Company is
required to pay an initial commitment fee of $150,000 and issue 30,000
warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at $.05 per share
exercisable for five years following the date of issuance. Upon
exercise of the first and second extension, the Company would be
required to pay Rabobank certain fees. The interest rate in effect
pursuant to this agreement would be at Rabobank's cost of funds plus
one and one quarter percent (1 1/4%). The Company also currently
intends to replace or renegotiate the terms of its current obligations to
Ansbacher prior to January 1997. Ansbacher and Rabobank hold senior and
subordinate deeds of trust, respectively, on substantially all of the Company's
property.

As the Company continues to aggressively pursue its business strategy,
additional financing specifically in connection with the Company's
water projects will be required. The nature of such additional financing
for the water transfer projects will depend upon how the development
and ownership of each project is ultimately structured, and how much
of each project's funding will be the Company's responsibility. Should
the Company determine that it will be able to maximize its profit
potential through construction and ownership of the water delivery
systems used in the project, the Company will be required to obtain
long-term project financing. Based upon the results of analyses
performed by an investment banking firm retained by the Company,
management believes that several alternative long-term financing
arrangements are available to the Company which will be further
evaluated once funding responsibility and ownership alternatives are
determined.

The Company and the Banks have historically structured their
financing arrangements with a view towards effective implementation
of the Company's business plan. The Company may, if it deems
necessary, seek adjustments to these existing arrangements to
accommodate previously unforeseen developments, such as the Sun
World acquisition and/or any changes in the timetable for regulatory
approvals of the water transfer projects.

Equity Placements
- ------------------
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Company completed
private placements of 2,114,157 shares of its common stock, resulting
in gross proceeds of $9,932,000. In addition, the Company received
proceeds of approximately $360,000 through the exercise of
outstanding stock options and warrants. The Company utilized such
proceeds to fund its capital projects related to development of its water
transfer projects, purchase of additional acreage and for operating
requirements, including the payment of expenses incurred in
connection with the planned acquisition of Sun World.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company received gross
proceeds of $629,000 through the exercise of previously outstanding
stock options.

The principal source of funding for the Sun World acquisition is
expected to be obtained by the Company from exercise of Standby
Purchase Commitments issued to the Company in June 1996. The
Company has exercised its right to sell approximately $30,000,000 of
newly authorized Convertible Series A Preferred Stock ("Series A
Preferred Stock") to the institutions which have heretofore delivered
these Standby Purchase Commitments. The proceeds from the sale of the
Series A Preferred Stock will be deposited into escrow,
and may be used by the Company only for the acquisition. As the
issuance of Series A Preferred Stock is contingent upon the acquisition
of Sun World, if the acquisition of Sun World has not been completed
by September 15, 1996, funds deposited into escrow will be returned to
the subscribers and no Series A Preferred Stock will be issued. The
Series A Preferred Stock, once issued, will become convertible into
shares of common stock, at the option of the holder, at a price of $4.50
per share, following the filing of an amendment to the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares
of common stock available for issuance by the Company. The initial
conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock will automatically be
reduced to $3.75 per share if the bid price of the Company's common
stock has not averaged at least $5.25 per share during the ninety (90)
day period prior to the filing of the amendment. Holders will be
entitled to cumulative dividends initially payable at a rate of six percent
(6%) per annum.

In July 1996, in connection with a private placement to a limited
number of accredited investors of 6% Convertible Series B Preferred
Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), the Company received gross
proceeds of $7.6 million. Shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be
convertible into shares of common stock at a price equal to the lower of
(a) $5.8125 per share or (b) eighty-five percent (85%) of the average
closing bid price over the ten trading-day period ending on the day
prior to the submission of any conversion notice. Holders will also be
entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of six percent (6%) per
annum until conversion. The Company reserves the right to redeem
any convertible shares for their full cash equivalent by giving the
investors five (5) days notice. The proceeds from this issuance will
help fund the cash requirements of the Sun World transaction as well as
the capital and operating requirements of the Company.

Additional issuances of preferred stock may be utilized in connection
with the acquisition of Sun World following final determination of the
obligations payable at closing, however, the Company does not expect
that such additional issuances, if any, would exceed $5,000,000.


Working Capital Resources
- --------------------------
The Company has adopted an unclassified balance sheet (eliminating
the distinction between current assets and long-term assets and current
liabilities and long-term liabilities). Accordingly, any historical or
forward looking discussion of the Company's working capital
resources should focus on the receipt and use of cash as opposed to the
broader concepts of working capital and current ratio.

Cash used for continuing operating activities totalled $2,245,000 for the
three month period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $1,692,000 for
the same period in 1995. During the 1996 quarter, the Company was
engaged in, among other things, the possible acquisition of Sun World;
negotiations and/or discussions with prospective purchasers regarding
several of the Company's water transfer projects and management of
the Company's permanent and seasonal crops. In the prior year's
quarter, by contrast, activities pertained to evaluation of only one water
transfer project and management of the Company's permanent and
seasonal crops. As a result of this increased level of activity, the
Company has incurred a corresponding increase in costs related to
overhead, professional fees, salaries and travel, among others. The
balance of the increase in cash for continuing operating activities
resulted from the payment by the Company, in June 1996, of fees
related to the funding of the Sun World acquisition.

Cash used for investing activities totalled $1,095,000 during the three
months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $729,000 for the same
period in 1995.

Financing activities provided $731,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1996 as compared to $432,000 during the three months ended June
30, 1995. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of
the exercise of previously outstanding stock options totalled $629,000
and $279,000 during the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.

OUTLOOK
- -------
During fiscal 1996, the Company funded its working capital
requirements from the beginning cash balance as of April 1, 1995 of
$2.454 million, the additional loan facility provided by Ansbacher,
$.36 million received through the exercise of stock options during
fiscal 1996, and a portion of the $9.9 million resulting from the
completion of private placements during the year ended March 31,
1996. The Company expects that its current working capital, combined
with funds available from the placement of Series B Preferred Stock
(which are not conditioned upon the completion of the Sun World
acquisition), will be sufficient for its short term working capital needs.

The Company believes that an acquisition of Sun World upon the terms
currently proposed will enable Sun World to be self-sufficient
thereafter for working capital purposes. The Company intends as part
of the proposed Sun World plan of reorganization to make $15 million
of capital available to Sun World at closing, an amount estimated as
necessary to achieve this result. The Company does not expect, in the
foreseeable future, to make additional capital contributions to Sun
World, although no assurances can be given.

As the Company is actively pursuing the development of its water
resources, it is seeking the finalization of the regulatory approvals
needed to commence construction of a water delivery project at Cadiz.
Once the lengthy regulatory review process is finalized and
construction of the necessary delivery system has commenced, the
Company anticipates generating a revenue stream within less than a
year thereafter which will be sufficient to meet the operating
requirements of the Company although no assurances can be given.
Concurrently with the regulatory review process, the Company is also
negotiating the terms of water delivery arrangements with various
California water agencies, which include issues such as financing,
pricing concepts and formulas and ownership of the pipeline and the
delivery system.

In addition to the development of its water resources, the Company is
actively involved in further agricultural development of its
landholdings as a result of San Bernardino County's approval of a
General Plan Amendment covering 9,600 acres of the Company's
landholding at Cadiz and the increased grower interest in Cadiz as an
agricultural area. Such development will be systematic and in
furtherance of the Company's business strategy to provide for
maximization of the value of its assets. Such development is expected
to continue to be accomplished through negotiated arrangements with
third parties and/or, following the acquisition of Sun World, with Sun
World, which will significantly reduce any capital outlay required of
the Company in connection with such development activities and
provide a revenue stream in the future.
