Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Preface

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 and balance sheet as of January 31, 2014 included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in management’s opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make a fair statement of the financial position at January 31, 2014 and the results of operations and the cash flows for the periods presented herein have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2013 included herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules or regulations. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.

Limoneira Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Business

Limoneira Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), engages primarily in growing citrus and avocados, picking and hauling citrus, and packing, marketing and selling lemons. The Company is also engaged in residential rentals and other rental operations and real estate development activities.

The Company markets and sells lemons directly to foodservice, wholesale and retail customers throughout the United States, Canada, Asia and other international markets. The Company is a member of Sunkist Growers, Inc. (“Sunkist”), an agricultural marketing cooperative, and sells its oranges, specialty citrus and other crops to Sunkist-licensed and other third-party packinghouses.

The Company sells all of its avocado production to Calavo Growers, Inc. (“Calavo”), a packing and marketing company listed on NASDAQ under the symbol CVGW. Calavo’s customers include many of the largest retail and food service companies in the United States and Canada. The Company’s avocados are packed by Calavo, sold and distributed under Calavo brands to its customers.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all the subsidiaries and investments in which a controlling interest is held by the Company. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements represent the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss and consolidated statements of cash flows of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries include: Limoneira International Division, LLC, Limoneira Mercantile, LLC, Windfall Investors, LLC, Templeton Santa Barbara, LLC, and Associated Citrus Packers, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company considers the criteria established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board – Accounting Standards Code (“FASB ASC”) 810, Consolidations and the effect of variable interest entities, in its consolidation process. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes thereto included in this quarterly report.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board – Accounting Standards Update (“FASB ASU”) 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” to defer the effective date for those aspects of ASU 2011-05 relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The objective of this update is to have companies provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, a company is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company’s adoption of this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 had no effect on the reported results of operations.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2014, that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets at fair value:
Available-for-sale securities	$	15,190,000	$	–	$	–	$	15,190,000
Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative	$	–	$	2,020,000	$	–	$	2,020,000

Available-for-sale securities consist of marketable securities in Calavo common stock. The Company currently owns 500,000 shares, representing approximately 3.2% of Calavo’s outstanding common stock. These securities are measured at fair value by quoted market prices. Calavo’s stock price at January 31, 2014 was $30.38 per share.

The derivative consists of an interest rate swap (see Note 11), the fair value of which is estimated using industry-standard valuation models. Such models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs.

4. Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit in the course of its operations to customers, cooperatives, companies and lessees of the Company’s facilities. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company provides allowances on its receivables, as required, based on accounts receivable aging and certain other factors. As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 the allowances totaled $179,000 and $85,000, respectively.

5. Concentrations

The Company’s primary concentration of credit risk at January 31, 2014 consists of $1,907,000 due from a third-party packing house for oranges and specialty citrus and other crops. Sales to a domestic exporter for lemons represented 11% of total revenues in the three months ended January 31, 2014. The Company sells all of its avocado production to Calavo.

Lemons procured from third-party growers were 46% of lemon supply in the three months ended January 31, 2014, of which two third-party growers were 17% and 13% of lemon supply, respectively.

6. Real Estate Development Assets

Real estate development assets consist of the following:

	January 31, 2014		October 31, 2013
East Areas 1 and 2	$	52,181,000	$	51,538,000
Templeton Santa Barbara, LLC		11,357,000		11,276,000
Windfall Investors, LLC		20,790,000		20,605,000
	$	84,328,000	$	83,419,000

East Areas 1 and 2

In fiscal year 2005, the Company began capitalizing the costs of two real estate projects east of Santa Paula, California, for the development of 550 acres of land into residential units, commercial buildings, and civic facilities. During the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company capitalized $643,000 and $811,000, respectively, of costs related to these real estate projects, respectively. Additionally, in relation to these projects, the Company incurred net expenses of $5,000 and $2,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On August 24, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to a Real Estate Advisory Management Consultant Agreement (the “Consultant Agreement”) with Parkstone Companies, Inc. (the “Consultant”) dated April 1, 2004, that includes provisions for the Consultant to earn a success fee (the “Success Fee”) upon the annexation by the City of Santa Paula, California of East Area I. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company agrees to pay the Success Fee in an amount equal to 4% of the incremental Property Value under a formula defined in the Amendment.  The Success Fee is due and payable 120 days following the earlier to occur of (a) the sale of all or any portion of East Area I, including any unrelated third party material investment in the property, (b) the determination of an appraised value of the East Area I or (c) the second anniversary of the property annexation (each a “Success Fee Event”).

The Success Fee, if any, shall be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or any combination of the forgoing at the sole discretion of the Company.  The Success Fee is based on the calculated value of the property, which can vary over time until the settlement date. Accordingly, the Success Fee will be “marked to market” periodically to recognize the potential variability in the property value. Changes in the value, if any, will be recorded to capitalized development costs and additional paid in capital (“APIC”). To the extent that it becomes probable that cash will be used in the settlement rather than stock, such amount of cash will be classified as a liability rather than APIC.

If the Success Fee is paid in shares of common stock, deemed to be an equity award, the amount of common stock paid will be determined using a price per share equal to the average of closing prices of the common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market for the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the earliest occurring Success Fee Event; provided, however, that the price per share shall be no less than $16.00 per share. Previously recognized capitalized development costs will be adjusted to reflect the calculated value of the property upon settlement. The related APIC amount will be adjusted to common stock to reflect the issuance of common stock. To the extent that it becomes probable that cash will be used in the settlement rather than stock, such amount of cash will be classified as a liability rather than APIC / common stock. As of January 31, 2014, the estimated amount of the Success Fee was zero.

In connection with facilitating the annexation of East Area 1 into the City of Santa Paula, during February 2013, the Company entered into a Capital Improvement Cost Sharing Agreement for Improvements to Santa Paula Creek Channel (the “Cost Sharing Agreement”) with the Ventura County Watershed Protection District (the “District”). The Cost Sharing Agreement requires the Company to reimburse the District 28.5% of the costs of the improvements, up to a maximum of $5,000,000. Additionally, the Company is required to pay the cost of preparing a study to determine a feasible scope of work and budget for the improvements. As of January 31, 2014, $150,000 has been accrued for the cost of the study.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Limoneira Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1990 as the successor to several businesses with operations in California since 1893. We are an agribusiness and real estate development company founded and based in Santa Paula, California, committed to responsibly using and managing our approximately 10,600 acres of land, water resources and other assets to maximize long-term shareholder value. Our current operations consist of fruit production and marketing, real estate development and capital investment activities.

We are one of California’s oldest citrus growers. According to Sunkist Growers, Inc. (“Sunkist”), we are one of the largest growers of lemons in the United States and, according to the California Avocado Commission, one of the largest growers of avocados in the United States. In addition to growing lemons and avocados, we grow oranges and a variety of specialty citrus and other crops. We have agricultural plantings throughout Ventura and Tulare counties in California and in Yuma County in Arizona, which plantings consist of approximately 3,900 acres of lemons, 1,200 acres of avocados, 1,500 acres of oranges and 800 acres of specialty citrus and other crops. We also operate our own packinghouse in Santa Paula, California, where we process and pack lemons that we grow, as well as lemons grown by others.

For more than 100 years, we have been making strategic investments in California agriculture and development real estate. We currently have five active real estate development projects in California. Our real estate developments range from apartments to luxury single-family homes and in California includes approximately 200 completed units and another approximately 1,700 units in various stages of planning and development.

Business Segment Summary

We have three business segments: agribusiness, rental operations and real estate development. Our agribusiness segment includes our farming and lemon packing and sales operations. Our rental operations segment includes our residential and commercial rental operations, leased land operations and organic recycling. Our real estate development segment includes our real estate development projects and development. From a general view, we see our Company as a land and farming company that generates annual cash flows to support its progress into diversified real estate development activities. As real estate developments are monetized, our agribusiness will then be able to expand more rapidly into new regions and markets.

Agribusiness

We are one of the largest growers of lemons and avocados in the United States and, as a result, our agribusiness segment is the largest of our three segments, representing approximately 94%, 93% and 88% of our fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011 consolidated revenues, respectively. We market and sell lemons directly to our foodservice, wholesale and retail customers throughout the United States, Canada, Asia and other international markets. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, lemon sales were comprised of approximately 65% in domestic and Canadian sales, 34% in sales to domestic exporters and 1% in international sales. We are a member of Sunkist, an agricultural marketing cooperative, and we sell our oranges, specialty citrus and other crops to Sunkist-licensed and other third-party packinghouses.

Historically, our agribusiness operations have been seasonal in nature with quarterly revenue fluctuating depending on the timing and variety of crops being harvested. Cultural costs in our agribusiness tend to be higher in the first and second quarters and lower in the third and fourth quarters because of the timing of expensing cultural costs in the current year that were inventoried in the prior year. Our harvest costs generally increase in the second quarter and peak in the third quarter coinciding with the increasing production and revenue.

Fluctuations in price are a function of global supply and demand with weather conditions, such as unusually low temperatures, typically having the most dramatic effect on the amount of lemons supplied in any individual growing season. We believe we have a competitive advantage by maintaining our own lemon packing operation, even though a significant portion of the costs related to our lemon packing operations are fixed. As a result, cost per carton is a function of fruit throughput. While we regularly monitor our costs for redundancies and opportunities for cost reductions, we also supplement the number of lemons we pack in our packinghouse with additional lemons from other growers. Because the fresh utilization rate for our lemons, or percentage of lemons we harvest and pack that go to the fresh market, is directly related to the quality of lemons we pack and, consequently, the price we receive per 40-pound box, we only pack lemons from other growers if we determine their lemons are of good quality.

20

Our avocado producing business is important to us yet nevertheless faces some constraints on growth as there is little additional land that can be cost-effectively acquired to support new avocado orchards in Southern California. Also, avocado production is cyclical as avocados typically bear fruit on a bi-annual basis with large crops in one year followed by smaller crops the next year. While our avocado production remains volatile, the profitability and cash flow realized from our avocados frequently offsets occasional losses in other crops we grow and helps to diversify our fruit production base.

In addition to growing lemons and avocados, we also grow oranges and specialty citrus and other crops, typically utilizing land not suitable for growing high quality lemons. We regularly monitor the demand for the fruit we grow in the ever-changing marketplace to identify trends. For instance, while per capita consumption of oranges in the United States has been decreasing since 2000 primarily as a result of consumers increasing their consumption of mandarin oranges and other specialty citrus, the international market demand for U.S. oranges has increased. As a result, we have focused our orange production on high quality late season Navel and Valencia oranges primarily for export to Japan, China and Korea, which are typically highly profitable niche markets. We produce our specialty citrus and other crops in response to consumer trends we identify and believe that we are a leader in the niche production and sale of certain of these high margin fruits. Because we carefully monitor the respective markets of specialty citrus and other crops, we believe that demand for the types and varieties of specialty citrus and other crops that we grow will continue to increase throughout the world.

Rental Operations

Our rental operations segment represented approximately 5%, 6% and 7% of our fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011 consolidated revenues, respectively. Our rental housing units generate reliable cash flows which we use to partially fund the operations of all three of our business segments, and provide affordable housing to many of our employees, including our agribusiness employees, a unique employment benefit that helps us maintain a dependable, long-term employee base. In addition, our leased land business provides us with a typically profitable diversification. Revenue from our rental operations segment is generally level throughout the year.

Real Estate Development

Our real estate development segment represented 1%, 1% and 5% of our fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011 consolidated revenues, respectively. We recognize that long-term strategies are required for successful real estate development activities. Our goal is to redeploy real estate earnings and cash flow into the expansion of our agribusiness and other income producing real estate.

Water Resources and California Drought

Our water resources include water rights, usage rights and pumping rights to the water in aquifers under, and canals that run through the land we own. Water for our farming operations is sourced from the existing water resources associated with our land, which includes rights to water in the adjudicated Santa Paula Basin (aquifer) and the un-adjudicated Fillmore and Paso Robles Basins (aquifers). We use ground water and water from local water districts in Tulare County, which is in the San Joaquin Valley. Following our acquisition of Associated we began using ground water in Arizona from the Colorado River through the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District.

California has historically experienced periods of below average precipitation. Currently, it is experiencing one of its most severe droughts on record. Rainfall, snow levels and water content of snow pack are significantly below historical averages. These conditions have resulted in reduced water levels in streams, rivers, lakes, aquifers and reservoirs. The governor of California declared a drought State of Emergency in February 2014. Federal officials who oversee the Central Valley Project, California’s largest water delivery system, recently announced that no water is expected to be provided to San Joaquin Valley farmers this year and only 50% of the contracted amount will be provided to urban areas from this water system.

The impact of the drought on water consumers varies with the sources of available water. Depending on the location of our agricultural operations, we obtain our water from aquifers, water delivered by water federal, state and local irrigation districts and rainfall. Our water resources include water rights, usage rights and pumping rights to the water in aquifers under, and canals that run through the land we own.

Water for our farming operations located in Ventura County, California is sourced from the existing water resources associated with our land, which includes approximately 8,600 acre feet of adjudicated water rights in Santa Paula Basin (aquifer) and the un-adjudicated Fillmore Basin.

We use a combination of ground water provided by wells and water from various local water districts in Tulare County, California which is in the agriculturally productive San Joaquin Valley.

21

Our Associated Citrus Packers farming operations in Yuma Arizona sources water from the Colorado River through the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District, where we have access to approximately 11,700 acre feet of Class 3 Colorado River water rights.

Our Windfall Farms property located in San Luis Obispo County obtains water from wells deriving water from the Paso Robles Basin.

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, irrigation costs for our agricultural operations were $0.1 million greater than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 resulting from pumping more water from wells and basins due to less rainfall. We expect this trend to continue as we pump more water than our historical averages as demand for limited water supplies increases the cost for such supplies and federal, state and local water delivery infrastructure costs increase to access these limited water supplies.

We believe we have access to adequate supplies of water for our agricultural operations as well as our real estate development and rental operations segments of our business and currently do not anticipate the California drought will have a material impact our operating results. However, if the current drought conditions persist or worsen or if regulatory responses to such conditions limit our access to water, our business could be negatively impacted by these conditions and responses in terms of access to water and or cost of water.

Recent Developments 

In June 2013, we announced a plan to build 71 agriculture workforce housing units in Santa Paula, California, that will be available for rent to local agriculture workers and Limoneira employees. We estimate that the total cost of the development will be approximately $8.5 million and will be completed and available for rent during 2014. When fully occupied, annual rental revenue from the additional housing units is anticipated to be approximately $0.9 million. We have capitalized approximately $1.2 million of costs related to this project in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

On July 1, 2013, we entered into a Lease Agreement with Cadiz, Inc. (“Cadiz”) to develop lemon orchards on Cadiz’s agricultural property in eastern San Bernardino County, California (the “Cadiz Ranch”). Under the terms of the Lease Agreement, we have the right to lease and plant up to 1,280 acres of lemons over the next five years at the Cadiz Ranch operations in the Cadiz Valley and have leased 320 acres initially, subject to a mutually agreed upon planting schedule. The Lease Agreement provides options to lease and plant up to 960 additional acres (320 acres in Option 1 and 640 acres in Option 2) by 2018. The annual rental payment will include a base rent of $200 per planted acre and a lease payment equal to 20% of net cash flow from the harvested crops grown on Cadiz property. Pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement, the annual rental payment will not exceed a total of $1,200 per acre. We have capitalized approximately $0.2 million of orchard development costs related to this project in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

On September 6, 2013, we acquired Associated Citrus Packers, Inc. (“Associated”), a privately owned Arizona corporation, for approximately $18.6 million. The purchase price consisted of the issuance of 705,000 unregistered shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $16.0 million, based on our stock price on the acquisition date, $1.0 million in cash and the repayment of $1.6 million in Associated’s long term debt. The acquisition was structured as a tax-free reorganization under section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code. The acquisition provides for a potential purchase price adjustment based on the net assets acquired and for a holdback from payment of 5% ($850,000) of the stock and cash purchase price for a period of one year in support of potential indemnification claims as defined in the merger agreement. Upon completion of the acquisition, Associated became a wholly owned subsidiary of our Company. Associated owns approximately 1,300 acres of property in Yuma, Arizona, comprised of 950 acres of productive lemon orchards and 350 acres of other crops, as well as agriculture equipment and facilities. Transaction costs and other expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition were approximately $270,000, which were included fiscal year 2013 selling, general and administrative expense. Revenues of approximately $6.6 million and operating income of approximately $2.0 million are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

On October 11, 2013, we completed the acquisition of approximately 760 acres of land in the town of Porterville in Tulare County, California (“Lemons 400”), for approximately $8.8 million cash. This property consists of approximately 400 acres of productive lemon orchards and 360 acres primarily leased for cattle grazing. The acquisition also included water assets and agricultural equipment and supplies. Revenues of approximately $0.4 million and operating loss of approximately $0.8 million are included in our consolidated statement of operations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. We expect Lemons 400 to become profitable as lemon harvest and sales peak during the second quarter.

On November 29, 2013, the Company entered into Purchase and Sale agreements to sell Pacific Crest and Sevilla to the same buyer for a combined purchase price of approximately $8.3 million. Upon execution of the agreements, the buyer deposited $500,000 into escrow. The buyer had the option to terminate the purchase of the parcels prior to the close of 90-day escrow period. The sales were terminated by the buyer during February 2014 and the deposit was returned to the buyer.

22

In December 2013, we entered into a construction contract that includes design and construction services for the expansion of our lemon packing facilities.  The project is expected to increase the efficiency our packing facilities. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we capitalized approximately $2.6 million of costs in connection with construction services and equipment.

During December 2013, Associated entered into an agreement with the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District (“YMIDD”) to participate in a Pilot Fallowing Program in which Associated has agreed to forego its water allocation for approximately 286 acres of land in exchange for $750 per acre through December 31, 2016, unless terminated sooner by YMIDD. We recorded a loss on disposal orchards of approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 related to this program.

For the year ended October 31, 2013, we declared dividends to our common shareholders totaling $0.15 per share in the aggregate amount of $1,944,000. On December 17, 2013, we declared a $0.0375 per share dividend which was paid on January 15, 2014 in the aggregate amount of $526,000 to common shareholders of record on December 30, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Due to significant depreciable assets associated with the nature of our operations and interest costs associated with our capital structure, management believes that earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and adjusted EBITDA, which excludes impairments on real estate development assets when applicable, is an important measure to evaluate our Company’s results of operations between periods on a more comparable basis. Such measurements are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be construed as an alternative to reported results determined in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information provided is unique to our Company and may not be consistent with methodologies used by other companies. EBITDA is summarized and reconciled to net loss which management considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as follows:

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 Compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013

Revenues

Total revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $25.9 million compared to $17.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The 49% increase of $8.5 million was primarily the result of increased agribusiness revenue, as detailed below:

	Agribusiness Revenues for the Quarters Ended January 31,
	2014		2013		Change
Lemons	$	20,930,000	$	13,968,000	$	6,962,000	50%
Avocados		8,000		7,000		1,000	14%
Navel and Valencia oranges		1,886,000		1,440,000		446,000	31%
Specialty citrus and other crops		1,880,000		883,000		997,000	113%
Agribusiness revenues	$	24,704,000	$	16,298,000	$	8,406,000	52%

· Lemons: The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily the result of higher prices for fresh lemons sold partially offset by decreased volume. In the first three months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, fresh lemon sales were $17.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively, on 797,000 and 837,000 cartons of lemons sold at average per carton prices of $22.46 and $15.17, respectively. The increase in average per carton prices in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to more favorable market conditions from reduced lemon supply. Additionally, lemon by-product, shipping and handling and other lemon sales were $3.0 million in the first three months of fiscal year 2014 compared to $1.2 million in the same period in fiscal year 2013.

· Avocados: No significant sales of avocados were recorded in the first quarters of fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

· Navel and Valencia oranges: The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was attributable to higher prices partially offset by higher prices lower sales volume compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, 129,000 field boxes of oranges were sold at average per field box prices of $14.62 compared to 172,000 field boxes sold at average per field box prices of $8.37 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The increase in prices in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily due to decreased market supply resulting from a period of freezing temperatures in California’s San Joaquin Valley during December 2013.

· Specialty citrus and other crops: The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was attributable to higher sales volumes and higher prices compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, 92,000 field boxes of specialty citrus were sold at average per field box prices of $20.43 compared to 63,000 field boxes sold at average per field box prices of $14.00. The increase in prices in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to decreased market supply resulting from a period of freezing temperatures in California’s San Joaquin Valley during December 2013.

24

Costs and Expenses

Our total costs and expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $28.1 million compared to $22.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, for a 24% increase of $5.4 million. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in our agribusiness costs. Costs associated with our agribusiness include packing costs, harvest costs, growing costs, costs for fruit procured from third-party growers, and depreciation expense. These costs are discussed further below:

	Agribusiness Costs and Expenses for the Quarters Ended January 31,
	2014		2013		Change
Packing costs	$	4,601,000	$	4,687,000	$	(86,000	)	(2)%
Harvest costs		4,067,000		837,000		3,230,000		386%
Growing costs		6,603,000		3,672,000		2,931,000		80%
Third-party grower costs		7,540,000		8,998,000		(1,458,000	)	(16)%
Depreciation and amortization		651,000		393,000		258,000		66%
Agribusiness costs and expenses	$	23,462,000	$	18,587,000	$	4,875,000		26%

· Packing costs: Packing costs consist of the costs to pack lemons for sale such as labor and benefits, cardboard cartons, fruit treatments, packing and shipping supplies and facility operating costs. The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 is primarily attributable to a lower volume of fresh lemons packed and sold compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we packed and sold 797,000 cartons at average per carton costs of $5.77 compared to 837,000 cartons packed and sold at average per carton costs of $5.60 during the same period in fiscal year 2013. The increase in average per carton costs is primarily the result of decreased volume of fresh lemons packed and sold.

· Harvest costs: The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 is primarily attributable to $2.6 million of harvest costs at Associated and $0.3 million of harvest costs at Lemons 400. Because the acquisitions occurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013, there were no such costs in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Growing costs: Growing costs, also referred to as cultural costs, consist of orchard maintenance costs such as cultivation, fertilization and soil amendments, pest control, pruning and irrigation. The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 is primarily due to $1.6 million of growing costs incurred at Associated and $0.9 million of growing costs incurred at Lemons 400. There were no such costs incurred in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Additionally, in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, irrigation costs increased $0.1 million at our remaining ranches resulting from drought conditions compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Third-party grower costs: We sell lemons that we grow and fruit that we procure from other growers. The cost of procuring fruit from other growers is referred to as third-party grower costs. The decrease in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 is primarily attributable to a lower percentage of third-party grower lemons relative to the total volume of cartons sold. Of the 797,000 and 837,000 cartons sold during the first quarter of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively, 366,000 (46%) and 788,000 (94%) were procured from third-party growers at average per carton prices of $19.39 and $11.42, respectively. The lower percentage of fruit procured from third-party growers in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 is primarily the result of our acquisition of Associated. Additionally, we incurred $442,000 of costs for purchased, packed fruit to sell in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $35,000 during the same period in fiscal year 2013.

· Depreciation expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $0.3 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 due to the acquisitions of Associated and Lemons 400.

25

Other Income/Expense

Other income (expense) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $0.2 million of income compared to $0.5 million of income for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The $0.3 million decrease in income is primarily the result of:

· $0.1 million decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 as a result of lower debt levels due to repayments of long term debt made with the proceeds from our February 2013 public offering of common stock. As a result, all interest incurred after February 2013 was capitalized on real estate development projects and significant construction in progress;

· $0.2 million decrease in income from fair value adjustments in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The interest rate swap which was the source of the first quarter fiscal year 2013 income matured in June 2013;

· $0.2 million loss on disposal of orchards in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 in relation to the Pilot Fallowing Program agreement with Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District.

Income Taxes

We recorded an estimated income tax benefit of $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 on pre-tax losses of $2.0 million compared to an estimated income tax benefit of $1.7 million on pre-tax losses of $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Our estimated effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was 37.0% inclusive of certain discrete items. In comparison, our estimated effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was 34.7% inclusive of certain discrete items.

Segment Results of Operations

We evaluate the performance of our agribusiness, rental operations and real estate development segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. Each segment is subject to review and evaluations related to current market conditions, market opportunities and available resources. The following table shows the segment results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013:

First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 Compared to the First Quarter of Fiscal Year 2013

The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the previous section “Results of Operations”.

Agribusiness

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 our agribusiness segment revenue was $24.7 million compared to $16.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The 52% increase of $8.4 million primarily reflected higher lemon, orange and specialty citrus revenues for the fiscal 2014 first quarter compared to the fiscal 2013 first quarter. The increase in agribusiness revenue primarily consists of the following:

· Lemon revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $7.0 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Navel and Valencia orange revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $0.4 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Specialty citrus revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1.0 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Costs associated with our agribusiness include packing costs, harvest costs, growing costs, costs for fruit procured from third-party growers, and depreciation expense. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, our costs and expenses were $23.5 million compared to $18.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The 26% increase of $4.9 million primarily consists of the following:

· Packing costs for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $0.1 million lower than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Harvest costs for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $3.2 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Growing costs for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $2.9 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Third-party grower costs for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $1.4 million lower than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Depreciation expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $0.3 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 due to the acquisitions of Associated and Lemons 400.

Rental Operations

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 our rental operations had revenues of $1.1 million compared to $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. All three areas of this segment (residential and commercial rental operations, leased land and organic recycling) were similar quarter to quarter.

Costs and expenses in our rental operations segment were $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Depreciation expense was similar quarter to quarter at approximately $0.1 million.

Real Estate Development

Our real estate development segment had no significant revenues in the first quarters of fiscal years 2014 and 2013.

Costs and expenses in our real estate development segment were $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Corporate and Other

Corporate costs and expenses include selling, general and administrative costs and other costs not allocated to the operating segments. Corporate and other costs for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 were $0.2 million higher than the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Depreciation expense was similar quarter to quarter at approximately $50,000.

27

Seasonal Operations

Historically, our agribusiness operations have been seasonal in nature with quarterly revenue fluctuating depending on the timing and variety of crops being harvested. Cultural costs in our agribusiness tend to be higher in the first and second quarters and lower in the third and fourth quarters because of the timing of expensing cultural costs in the current year that were inventoried in the prior year. Our harvest costs generally increase in the second quarter and peak in the third quarter coinciding with the increasing production and revenue. Due to this seasonality and to avoid the inference that interim results are indicative of the estimated results for a full fiscal year, we present supplemental information for 12-month periods ended at the interim date for the current and preceding years.

Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2014 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended January 31, 2013

The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the previous section “Results of Operations”.

· Total revenues increased $20.4 million in the twelve months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended January 31, 2013 primarily due to increased agribusiness revenues, particularly increased lemon sales.

· Total costs and expenses increased $15.8 million in the twelve months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended January 31, 2013 primarily due to increases in our agribusiness costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in agribusiness costs is associated with increased agribusiness production and revenues and the acquisitions of Associated and Lemons 400. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to additional salaries, benefits and incentive compensation and other selling, general and administrative expenses including certain consulting expenses associated with our strategic initiatives.

· Total other income increased $3.2 million in the twelve months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended January 31, 2013 primarily due to the April 2013 gain on sale of stock in Calavo Growers, Inc.

· Income tax provision increased $2.2 million in the twelve months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended January 31, 2013 primarily due to the increase in pre-tax earnings of $7.9 million.

28

· Equity in losses of investments increased $1.6 million in the twelve months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended January 31, 2013 primarily due to a $1.8 million loss recognized on the April 2013 sale of our HM East Ridge, LLC property.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our Company’s liquidity and capital position fluctuates during the year depending on seasonal production cycles, weather events, and demand for our products. Typically, our second and third quarters tend to generate greater operating income than our first and fourth quarters due to the volume of fruit harvested. To meet working capital demand and investment requirements of our agribusiness and real estate development segments and to supplement operating cash flows, we utilize our revolving credit facility to fund agricultural inputs and farm management practices until sufficient returns from crops allow us to repay amounts borrowed. Raw materials needed to propagate the various crops grown by us consist primarily of fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides, fuel and water and are readily available from local sources.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the first quarters of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $4.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The significant components of our Company’s cash flows used in operating activities as included in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows:

· Net loss for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was $1.2 million compared to $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The decrease in loss of $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating loss of $3.1 million offset by a $0.3 million decrease in other income and a $1.0 million decrease in income tax benefit.

· Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013 primarily due to the acquisition of Associated in September 2013.

· Loss on disposal of fixed assets of $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was the result of expenses incurred from an orchard disposal related to the Pilot Fallowing Program agreement with YMIDD. There were no expenses incurred from orchard disposals in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Non-cash stock compensation expense was $0.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The increase of $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation to non-employee directors.

· Non-cash interest income on derivative instruments was $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and consisted of $0.3 million of mark to market adjustments to the underlying fair value liability, partially offset by $0.1 million of amortization of the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance. This swap matured in June 2013.

· Accounts and notes receivable used $5.5 million in operating cash flows in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to using $3.5 million in operating cash flows for the same period of fiscal year 2013. This increase was primarily the result of an increase of $5.3 million in accounts receivable during the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to an increase of $3.3 million in accounts receivable during the three months ended January 31, 2013. This increase was the result of higher agricultural revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013.

· Cultural costs provided $1.7 million more cash in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to the same period of fiscal year 2013 primarily due to an initial higher amount of inventory carried at the beginning of fiscal year 2014 resulting from the acquisitions of Associated and Lemons 400 and the related increase in amortization of such costs during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2013.

· Income taxes receivable is $0.8 million lower in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 primarily due to a $2.9 million decrease in pre-tax losses compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

29

· Accounts payable and growers payable provided $3.0 million of cash from operating activities in the three months ended January 31, 2014 compared to $3.6 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013. The $3.0 million of cash provided in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 was primarily the result of a $4.0 million increase in accounts payable and growers payable partially offset by $0.7 million of capital expenditures accrued but not paid at period end. The $3.6 million of cash provided in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was primarily the result of a $3.9 million increase in accounts payable and growers payable partially offset by $0.2 million of capital expenditures accrued but not paid at period end.

· Accrued liabilities used $3.5 million in operating cash flows in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $1.3 million in the same period of fiscal year 2013. The increase in the first quarter of fiscal year was primarily due to $1.9 million of income taxes that were paid during the period. There were no income taxes paid in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

· Other long-term liabilities remained consistent period to period at $0.2 million and represents non-cash pension expense for the periods.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, net cash used in investing activities was $4.6 million compared to $2.0 million for the same period in fiscal year 2013.

Net cash used in investing activities is primarily comprised of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $4.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, comprised of $4.1 million for property, plant and equipment primarily related to construction and equipment for our lemon packing facilities and additional farm worker housing units and $0.7 million for real estate development projects. Capital expenditures were $1.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, comprised of $0.8 million for property, plant and equipment and $1.1 million for real estate development projects.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, net cash provided by financing activities was $9.0 million compared to $6.9 million for the same period in fiscal year 2013. The $2.1 million increase in net cash flows from financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 is primarily due to net borrowings of long-term debt in the amount of $9.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 and $7.4 million of net borrowings in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, which is largely the result of a $2.6 million decrease in cash flows from investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. Additionally, we paid common and preferred dividends of $0.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 compared to $0.5 million in first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Transactions Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our working capital and other liquidity requirements primarily through cash from operations and our Rabobank, NA revolving credit facility (the “Rabobank Credit Facility”). In addition, we have term loans with Farm Credit West, FLCA (each a “Farm Credit West Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Farm Credit West Term Loans”) and a non-revolving line of credit with Farm Credit West, PCA (the “Farm Credit West Line of Credit”). Additional information regarding the Rabobank Credit Facility, the Farm Credit West Term Loans and the Farm Credit West Line of Credit can be found in Note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

We believe that the cash flows from operations and available borrowing capacity from our existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our capital expenditures, debt service, working capital needs and other contractual obligations for the remainder of fiscal year 2014. In addition, we have the ability to control a portion of our investing cash flows to the extent necessary based on our liquidity demands.

In December 2013, we entered into a construction contract that includes design and construction services for the expansion of our lemon packing facilities.  The project is expected to increase the efficiency our packing facilities. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we capitalized approximately $2.6 million of costs in connection with construction services and equipment.

Rabobank Revolving Credit Facility

As of January 31, 2014, our outstanding borrowings under the Rabobank Credit Facility were $64.3 million and we had $25.0 million of availability. The Rabobank Credit Facility currently bears interest at a variable rate equal to the one month LIBOR plus 1.80%. The interest rate resets on the first of each month and was 1.97% at January 31, 2014. We have the ability to prepay any amounts outstanding under the Rabobank Credit Facility without penalty. In November 2011, we entered into a Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Line of Credit Agreement in order to (i) increase the revolving line of credit from $80 million to the lesser of $100 million or 60% of the appraised value of any real estate pledged as collateral, which was $89,343,000 at January 31, 2014, (ii) amend the interest rate such that the line of credit bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.80%, and (iii) extend the maturity date from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2018

Our Company has the option of fixing the interest rate under the Rabobank Credit Facility on any portion of outstanding borrowings using interest rate swaps. Effective July 2013, our Company fixed the interest rate at 4.30% utilizing an interest rate swap on $40.0 million of the Rabobank Credit Facility. Additional information regarding the interest rate swap can be found in Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

The Rabobank Credit Facility is secured by certain of our Company’s agricultural properties and a portion of the equity interest in the San Cayetano Mutual Water Company, and subjects our Company to affirmative and restrictive covenants including, among other customary covenants, financial reporting requirements, requirements to maintain and repair any collateral, restrictions on the sale of assets, restrictions on the use of proceeds, prohibitions on the incurrence of additional debt and restrictions on the purchase or sale of major assets. We are also subject to a covenant that our Company will maintain a debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Rabobank Credit Facility, of less than 1.25 to 1.0 measured annually at October 31, with which we were in compliance at October 31, 2013.

Farm Credit West Term Loans and Non-Revolving Credit Facility

As of January 31, 2014, we had an aggregate of approximately $7.5 million outstanding under the Farm Credit West Term Loans and Farm Credit West Line of Credit. The following provides further discussion on the term loans and non-revolving credit facility:

· Term Loan Maturing November 2022. As of January 31, 2014, we had $5.1 million outstanding under the Farm Credit West Term Loan that matures in November 2022. This term loan bears interest at a variable rate equal to an internally calculated rate based on Farm Credit West’s internal monthly operations and their cost of funds and generally follows the changes in the 90-day treasury rates in increments divisible by 0.25% and is payable in quarterly installments through November 2022. The interest rate resets monthly and was 2.75% at January 31, 2014. This term loan is secured by certain of our agricultural properties.

· Term Loan Maturing October 2035. As of January 31, 2014, our wholly owned subsidiary, Windfall Investors, LLC, had $1.9 million outstanding under the Farm Credit West Term Loan that matures in October 2035. Effective November 2011, we entered into an agreement with Farm Credit West fixing the interest rate at 3.65% for three years after which time the rate becomes variable at a rate based on Farm Credit West’s internal monthly operations and their cost of funds and generally follows the changes in the 90-day treasury rates in increments divisible by 0.25% until the loan matures. This term loan is secured by the Windfall Farms property.

· Non-Revolving Line of Credit Maturing May 2018. As of January 31, 2014, we had $0.5 million outstanding under the non-revolving line of credit that matures in May 2018. This line of credit bears interest at a variable rate equal to an internally calculated rate based on Farm Credit West’s internal monthly operations and their cost of funds and generally follows the changes in the 90-day treasury rates in increments divisible by 0.25% with interest payable on a monthly basis. The interest rate resets monthly and was 2.75% at January 31, 2014. This line of credit is secured by certain of our agricultural properties.

The Farm Credit West Term Loans and Farm Credit West Line of Credit contain various conditions, covenants and requirements with which our Company and Windfall Investors, LLC must comply. In addition, our Company and Windfall Investors are subject to limitations on, among other things, selling, abandoning or ceasing business operations; merging or consolidating with a third party; disposing of a substantial portion of assets by sale, transfer, gifts or lease except for inventory sales in the ordinary course of business; obtaining credit or loans from other lenders other than trade credit customary in the business; becoming a guarantor or surety on or otherwise liable for the debts or obligations of a third party; and mortgaging, pledging, leasing for over a year, or otherwise making or allowing the filing of a lien on any collateral.

Public Offering of Common Stock

During February 2013, we completed the sale of 2,070,000 shares of common stock, at a price of $18.50 per share, to institutional and other investors in a registered offering under the shelf registration statement.  The offering represented 16% of our outstanding common stock on an after-issued basis. Upon completion of the offering and issuance of common stock, we had 13,307,085 shares of common stock outstanding. The gross proceeds of the offering totaled $38,295,000 and after an underwriting discount of $2,106,000 and other offering expenses of $292,000, the net proceeds were $35,897,000. During February 2013, we used the net offering proceeds to repay long-term debt.

Interest Rate Swap

We enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage the risks and costs associated with our financing activities. At Janauary 31, 2014, we had an interest rate swap agreement which locks in the interest rate on $40.0 million of our $71.8 million in debt at 4.30% until June 2018.

In November 2011, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement with Rabobank International, Utrecht to fix the interest rate at 4.30% on $40,000,000 of its outstanding borrowings under the Rabobank Credit Facility beginning July 2013 until June 2018. This interest rate swap qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is accounted for as a hedge under the short-cut method. Therefore, the fair value adjustments to the underlying debt are deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the liability is recorded in fair value of derivative instrument and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2014. Additional information, regarding the interest rate swaps can be found in Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended Janauary 31, 2014 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Of the remaining $31.8 million in debt, $29.9 million bears interest at variable rates, which were 2.75% or less at January 31, 2014 and $1.9 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.65%, which becomes variable in November 2014.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents our Company’s contractual obligations at January 31, 2014 for which cash flows are fixed and determinable:

	Payments due by Period
Contractual Obligations:	Total		< 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		5+ years
Fixed rate debt (principal)	$	41,871,000	$	63,000	$	153,000	$	40,144,000	$	1,511,000
Variable rate debt (principal)		29,966,000		510,000		1,063,000		25,951,000		2,442,000
Operating lease obligations		12,382,000		1,645,000		3,440,000		3,253,000		4,044,000
Total contractual obligations	$	84,219,000	$	2,218,000	$	4,656,000	$	69,348,000	$	7,997,000
Interest payments on fixed and variable rate debt	$	13,189,000	$	2,536,000	$	5,031,000	$	4,945,000	$	677,000

We believe that the cash flows from our agribusiness and rental operations business segments as well as available borrowing capacity from our existing credit facilities will be sufficient to satisfy our future capital expenditure, debt service, working capital and other contractual obligations for the remainder of fiscal year 2014. In addition, we have the ability to control the timing of a portion of our investing cash flows to the extent necessary based on our liquidity demands.

Fixed Rate and Variable Rate Debt

Details of amounts included in long-term debt can be found above and in Note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended and as of January 31, 2014 included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The table above assumes that long-term debt is held to maturity.

Interest Payments on Fixed and Variable Debt

The above table assumes that our fixed rate and long-term debt is held to maturity and the interest rates on our variable rate debt remain unchanged for the remaining life of the debt from those in effect at January 31, 2014.

32

Preferred Stock Dividends

In 1997, in connection with the acquisition of Ronald Michaelis Ranches, Inc., our Company issued 30,000 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock at $100 par value (the “Series B Stock”). The holders of the Series B Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 8.75% of par value. Such dividends are payable quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October in each year commencing July 1, 1997 and totaled $0.3 million in each of the fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011. We paid a preferred stock dividend of approximately $0.1 million in January 2014.

Defined Benefit Plan Contributions

As more fully described in Note 15 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended January 31, 2014, our Company’s noncontributory, defined benefit, single employer pension plan (the “Plan”) was frozen as of June 30, 2004. In February 2014, we made funding contributions of $0.1 million and we expect to contribute approximately $0.5 million to the Plan in fiscal year 2014.

Operating Lease Obligations

We have numerous operating lease commitments with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to ten years. We have installed a one mega-watt photovoltaic solar array on one of our agricultural properties located in Ventura County that produces a significant portion of the power to run our lemon packinghouse. The construction of this array was financed by Farm Credit Leasing and we have a long term lease with Farm Credit Leasing for this array. Annual payments for this lease are $0.5 million, and at the end of ten years we have an option to purchase the array for $1.1 million. We entered into a similar transaction with Farm Credit Leasing for a second photovoltaic array at one of our agricultural properties located in the San Joaquin Valley to supply a significant portion of the power to operate four deep water well pumps located our property. Annual lease payments for this facility range from $0.3 million to $0.8 million, and at the end of ten years we have the option to purchase the array for $1.3 million. Additionally, we have agreements with an electricity utility through the California Solar Initiative which entitle us to receive rebates for energy produced by our solar arrays. These rebates, which reduce our agribusiness costs, are scheduled to expire in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 and were $0.2 million in each of the quarters ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 and have averaged approximately $1.0 million per year since the inception of the leases.

In January 2012, we entered into a series of operating leases for approximately 1,000 acres of lemon, orange, specialty citrus and other crop orchards in Lindsay, California. Each of the leases is for ten-year terms and provides for four five-year renewal options with an aggregate base rent of approximately $500,000 per year. The leases also contain profit share arrangements with the landowners as additional rent on each of the properties and a provision for the potential purchase of the properties by us in the future. We incurred approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million of lease expense in the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to these leases.

On July 1, 2013, we entered into a lease agreement with Cadiz, Inc. (“Cadiz”), to develop new lemon orchards on Cadiz’s agricultural property in eastern San Bernardino County, California (the “Cadiz Ranch”). Under the terms of the lease, we have the right to lease and plant up to 1,280 acres of lemons over the next five years at the Cadiz Ranch and have leased 320 acres initially, subject to a mutually agreed upon planting schedule. The lease agreement provides options to plant up to 960 additional acres (320 acres in Option 1 and 640 acres in Option 2) by 2018. The annual rental payment will include a base rent of $200 per planted acre and a lease payment equal to 20% of net cash flow from the harvested crops grown on the Cadiz property. Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, the annual rental payment will not exceed $1,200 per acre.

We lease pollination equipment under a lease through 2022 with annual payments of $0.3 million. We also lease machinery and equipment for our lemon packing operations and other land for our agricultural operations under leases with annual lease commitments that are individually immaterial.

Real Estate Development Activities, Capital Expenditures and Related Capital Resources

As noted above under “Transactions Affecting Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we have the ability to control the timing of a portion of our investing cash flows to the extent necessary based upon our liquidity demands. In order for our real estate development operations to reach their maximum potential benefit to our Company, however, we will need to be successful over time in identifying other third party sources of capital to partner with us to move those development projects forward. While we are frequently engaged in discussions with several external sources of capital in respect of all of our development projects, current market conditions for California real estate projects, while improving, continue to be challenging and make it difficult to predict the timing and amounts of future capital that will be required to complete the development of our projects.

33

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please see Note 2 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2014 elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information concerning our Company’s Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to develop critical accounting policies and make certain estimates and judgments that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, available relevant data and other information that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions as new or additional information become available in future periods.  We believe the following critical accounting policies reflect our more significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition – As a general policy, revenue and related costs are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) selling price is fixed or determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. We record a sales allowance in the period revenue is recognized as a provision for estimated customer discounts and concessions.

Agribusiness revenue – Revenue from lemon sales is generally recognized FOB shipping point when the customer takes possession of the fruit from or packinghouse. Revenue from the sales of certain of our Company’s agricultural products is recorded based on estimated proceeds provided by certain of our Company’s sales and marketing partners (Calavo and other third-party packinghouses) due to the time between when the product is delivered by our Company and the closing of the pools for such fruits at the end of each month. Calavo and other third-party packinghouses are agricultural cooperatives or function in a similar manner as an agricultural cooperative. As such, our Company applies specific authoritative agriculture revenue recognition guidance related to transactions between patrons and agriculture marketing cooperatives to record revenue at time of delivery to the packinghouses relating to fruits that are in pools that have not yet closed at month end if (i) the related fruits have been delivered to and accepted by Calavo and other third-party packinghouses (i.e. title has transferred to Calavo and other third-party packinghouses) and (ii) sales price information has been provided by Calavo and other third-party packinghouses (based on the marketplace activity for the related fruit) to estimate with reasonable certainty the final selling price for the fruit upon the closing of the pools. Historically, the revenue that is recorded based on the sales price information provided to our Company by Calavo and other third-party packinghouses at the time of delivery have not materially differed from the actual amounts that are paid after the monthly pools are closed.

Our Company’s avocados, oranges, specialty citrus and other specialty crops are packed and sold through by Calavo and other third-party packinghouses. Specifically, our Company delivers all of its avocado production from its orchards to Calavo. These avocados are then packed by Calavo at its packinghouse, and sold and distributed under Calavo brands to its customers primarily in the United States and Canada. Our Company’s arrangements with other third-party packinghouses related to its oranges, specialty citrus and other specialty crops are similar to its arrangement with Calavo.

Our Company’s arrangements with its third-party packinghouses are such that our Company is the producer and supplier of the product and the third-party packinghouses are our Company’s customers.  The revenues our Company recognizes related to the fruits sold to the third-party packinghouses are based on the volume and quality of the fruits delivered the market price for such fruit, less the packinghouses’ charges to pack and market the fruit. Such packinghouse charges include the grading, sizing, packing, cooling, ripening and marketing of the related fruit.   Our Company bears inventory risk until the product is delivered to the third-party packinghouses at which time title and inventory risk to the product is transferred to the third-party packinghouses and revenue is recognized. Such third-party packinghouse charges are recorded as a reduction of revenue based on the application of specific authoritative revenue recognition guidance related to a “Vendor’s Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Given to a Customer”.  The identifiable benefit our Company receives from the third-party packinghouses for packaging and marketing services cannot be sufficiently separated from the third-party packinghouses’ purchase of our Company’s products.  In addition, our Company is not able to reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received from the third-party packinghouses for such services and as such, these costs are characterized as a reduction of revenue in our Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue from crop insurance proceeds is recorded when the amount of, and the right to receive, the payment can be reasonably determined.

34

Rental revenue - Minimum rental revenues are generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective initial lease term. Contingent rental revenues are contractually defined as to the percentage of rent received by our Company and are based on fees collected by the lessee. Our Company’s rental arrangements generally require payment on a monthly or quarterly basis.

Real estate development revenue – Our Company recognizes revenue on real estate development projects in accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales, which provides for profit to be recognized in full when real estate is sold, provided that a sale has been consummated and profit is determinable, collection of sales proceeds is estimable with the seller’s receivable not subject to subordination, risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the earnings process is substantially complete with no significant seller activities or obligations required after the date of sale. To the extent the above conditions are not met, a portion or all of the profit is deferred.

Incidental operations may occur during the holding or development period of real estate development projects to reduce holding or development costs. Incremental revenue from incidental operations in excess of incremental costs from incidental operations is accounted for as a reduction of development costs. Incremental costs from incidental operations in excess of incremental revenue from incidental operations are charged to operations.

Real estate development costs – We capitalize the planning, entitlement, construction and development costs associated with our various real estate projects.  Costs that are not capitalized, which include property maintenance and repairs, general and administrative and marketing expenses, are expensed as incurred. A real estate development project is considered substantially complete upon the cessation of construction and development activities. Once a project is substantially completed, future costs are expensed as incurred. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, we capitalized approximately $0.9 million of costs related to our real estate projects and expensed approximately $0.3 million of costs.

Income taxes – Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Tax benefits from an uncertain tax position are only recognized if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Derivative financial instruments – We use derivative financial instruments for purposes other than trading to manage our exposure to interest rates as well as to maintain an appropriate mix of fixed and floating-rate debt. Contract terms of our hedge instruments closely mirror those of the hedged item, providing a high degree of risk reduction and correlation. Contracts that are effective at meeting the risk reduction and correlation criteria are recorded using hedge accounting. If a derivative instrument is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the instrument will be either offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of an instrument’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Instruments that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting, or contracts for which we have not elected hedge accounting, are valued at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported in earnings during the period of change.

Impairment of long-lived assets – We evaluate our long-lived assets, including our real estate development projects, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.  As a result of the economic downturn in recent years, we recorded impairment charges of $0.1 million, zero, and $1.2 million in fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These charges were based on independent appraisals and other factors and were developed using various facts, assumption and estimates.  Future changes in these facts, assumptions and estimates could result in additional charges.

Defined benefit retirement plan – As discussed in Note 15 to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, we sponsor a defined benefit retirement plan that was frozen in June, 2004, and no future benefits accrued to participants subsequent to that time.  Ongoing accounting for this plan under FASB ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, provides guidance as to, among other things, future estimated pension expense, minimum pension liability and future minimum funding requirements.  This information is provided to us by third-party actuarial consultants.  In developing this data, certain estimates and assumptions are used, including among other things, discount rate, long-term rates of return and mortality tables.  Changes in any of these estimates could materially affect the amounts recorded that are related to our defined benefit retirement plan.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the disclosures discussed in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC on January 14, 2014.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of January 31, 2014, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or, to our knowledge, in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

18. Segment Information

The Company operates and tracks results in three reportable operating segments: agribusiness, rental operations, and real estate development. The reportable operating segments of the Company are strategic business units with different products and services, distribution processes and customer bases. The agribusiness segment includes farming and citrus packing operations. The rental operations segment includes residential and commercial rental operations, leased land, and organic recycling. The real estate development segment includes real estate development operations. No asset information is provided for reportable segments as these specified amounts are not included in the measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by the company's chief operating decision maker. The Company measures operating performance, including revenues and earnings, of its operating segments and allocates resources based on its evaluation. The Company does not allocate selling, general and administrative expense, other income (expense), interest expense and income tax expense, or specifically identify them to its operating segments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Update ("FASB ASU") 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," to defer the effective date for those aspects of ASU 2011-05 relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The objective of this update is to have companies provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, a company is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company's adoption of this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 had no effect on the reported results of operations.

15. Retirement Plans

The Limoneira Company Retirement Plan (the "Plan") is a noncontributory, defined benefit, single employer pension plan, which provides retirement benefits for all eligible employees of the Company. Benefits paid by the Plan are calculated based on years of service, highest five-year average earnings, primary Social Security benefit and retirement age. Effective June 2004, the Company froze the Plan and no additional benefits accrued to participants subsequent to that date. The Plan is administered by City National Bank and Mercer Human Resource Consulting.

The Plan is funded consistent with the funding requirements of federal law and regulations. There were funding contributions of zero and $27,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 

The components of net periodic benefit cost for the Plan for the three months ended January 31 were as follows:

Stockholders' Equity [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity

17. Stock-based Compensation

As of January 31, 2014, there are 7,810 shares of common stock issued to employees in connection with a discontinued stock option plan. Such shares are subject to repurchase by the Company and constitute a liability due to the repurchase right. The repurchase obligation of $6,000 is included in other long-term liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013.

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan (the "Stock Plan") that allows for the grant of common stock of the Company to members of management based on achievement of certain annual financial performance and other criteria. The number of shares granted is based on a percentage of the employee's base salary divided by the stock price on the grant date. Shares granted under the Stock Plan generally vest over a three year period. During December 2013, 27,091 shares of common stock were granted to management under the Stock Plan for fiscal year 2013 performance, resulting in total compensation expense of approximately $727,000, with $253,000 recognized in the year ended October 31, 2013 and the balance to be recognized over the next two years as the shares vest.  During December 2012, 34,721 shares of common stock were granted to management under the Stock Plan for fiscal year 2012 performance, resulting in total compensation expense of approximately $657,000, with $216,000 recognized in the year ended October 31, 2012 and the balance to be recognized over the next two years as the shares vest. No shares were granted for fiscal year 2011 performance. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense and is recognized over the performance and vesting periods as summarized below: 

			Three Months Ended January 31,
Performance Year	Shares Granted		2014		2013

2014		-		60,000		-
			$	169,000	$	226,000

During December 2013, members of management exchanged 6,299 shares of common stock with fair market values of $26.82 per share (at the date of the exchanges), respectively, for the payment of payroll taxes associated with the vesting of shares under the Company's stock-based compensation programs.

During January 2014, 13,587 shares of common stock were granted to the Company's non-employee directors under the Company's stock-based compensation plans.

Preface

The preparation of the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses and certain financial statement disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013 and balance sheet as of January 31, 2014 included herein have not been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm, but in management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to make a fair statement of the financial position at January 31, 2014 and the results of operations and the cash flows for the periods presented herein have been made. The results of operations for the three months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2013 included herein has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Although we believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules or regulations. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013.

East Areas 1 and 2

In fiscal year 2005, the Company began capitalizing the costs of two real estate projects east of Santa Paula, California, for the development of 550 acres of land into residential units, commercial buildings, and civic facilities. During the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company capitalized $643,000 and $811,000, respectively, of costs related to these real estate projects, respectively. Additionally, in relation to these projects, the Company incurred net expenses of $5,000 and $2,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On August 24, 2010, the Company entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") to a Real Estate Advisory Management Consultant Agreement (the "Consultant Agreement") with Parkstone Companies, Inc. (the "Consultant") dated April 1, 2004, that includes provisions for the Consultant to earn a success fee (the "Success Fee") upon the annexation by the City of Santa Paula, California of East Area I. Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company agrees to pay the Success Fee in an amount equal to 4% of the incremental Property Value under a formula defined in the Amendment.  The Success Fee is due and payable 120 days following the earlier to occur of (a) the sale of all or any portion of East Area I, including any unrelated third party material investment in the property, (b) the determination of an appraised value of the East Area I or (c) the second anniversary of the property annexation (each a "Success Fee Event").

The Success Fee, if any, shall be paid in cash, shares of the Company's common stock, or any combination of the forgoing at the sole discretion of the Company.  The Success Fee is based on the calculated value of the property, which can vary over time until the settlement date. Accordingly, the Success Fee will be "marked to market" periodically to recognize the potential variability in the property value. Changes in the value, if any, will be recorded to capitalized development costs and additional paid in capital ("APIC"). To the extent that it becomes probable that cash will be used in the settlement rather than stock, such amount of cash will be classified as a liability rather than APIC.

If the Success Fee is paid in shares of common stock, deemed to be an equity award, the amount of common stock paid will be determined using a price per share equal to the average of closing prices of the common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market for the 20 trading days ending on the last trading day prior to the earliest occurring Success Fee Event; provided, however, that the price per share shall be no less than $16.00 per share. Previously recognized capitalized development costs will be adjusted to reflect the calculated value of the property upon settlement. The related APIC amount will be adjusted to common stock to reflect the issuance of common stock. To the extent that it becomes probable that cash will be used in the settlement rather than stock, such amount of cash will be classified as a liability rather than APIC / common stock. As of January 31, 2014, the estimated amount of the Success Fee was zero.

In connection with facilitating the annexation of East Area 1 into the City of Santa Paula, during February 2013, the Company entered into a Capital Improvement Cost Sharing Agreement for Improvements to Santa Paula Creek Channel (the "Cost Sharing Agreement") with the Ventura County Watershed Protection District (the "District"). The Cost Sharing Agreement requires the Company to reimburse the District 28.5% of the costs of the improvements, up to a maximum of $5,000,000. Additionally, the Company is required to pay the cost of preparing a study to determine a feasible scope of work and budget for the improvements. As of January 31, 2014, $150,000 has been accrued for the cost of the study.

Templeton Santa Barbara, LLC

The three real estate development parcels within the Templeton Santa Barbara, LLC project are described as Centennial Square ("Centennial"), The Terraces at Pacific Crest ("Pacific Crest"), and Sevilla. The net carrying values of Centennial, Pacific Crest and Sevilla at January 31, 2014 were $3,301,000, $3,370,000 and $4,686,000, respectively, and at October 31, 2013 were $3,220,000, $3,370,000 and $4,686,000, respectively.

Additionally, in relation to these parcels, the Company incurred net expenses of $27,000 and $18,000 in the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

On November 29, 2013, the Company entered into Purchase and Sale agreements to sell Pacific Crest and Sevilla to the same buyer for a combined purchase price of approximately $8,300,000. Upon execution of the agreements, the buyer deposited $500,000 into escrow. The buyer had the option to terminate the purchase of the parcels prior to the close of 90-day escrow period. The sales were terminated by the buyer during February 2014 and the deposit was returned to the buyer.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

3. Fair Value Measurements

Under the FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, a fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-tiered hierarchy draws distinctions between market participant assumptions based on (i) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1), (ii) inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2) and (iii) unobservable inputs that require the Company to use present value and other valuation techniques in the determination of fair value (Level 3).

The following table sets forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities as of January 31, 2014, that are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets at fair value:
Available-for-sale securities	$	15,190,000	$	-	$	-	$	15,190,000
Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative	$	-	$	2,020,000	$	-	$	2,020,000

Available-for-sale securities consist of marketable securities in Calavo common stock. The Company currently owns 500,000 shares, representing approximately 3.2% of Calavo's outstanding common stock. These securities are measured at fair value by quoted market prices. Calavo's stock price at January 31, 2014 was $30.38 per share.

The derivative consists of an interest rate swap (see Note 11), the fair value of which is estimated using industry-standard valuation models. Such models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board - Accounting Standards Update ("FASB ASU") 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220).

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05," to defer the effective date for those aspects of ASU 2011-05 relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The objective of this update is to have companies provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, a company is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company's adoption of this update in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014 had no effect on the reported results of operations.
