other factors disclosed in our public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Additional risks of which the Company is not currently aware or which the Company currently deems immaterial could also cause the Company’s actual results to differ, including those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.

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 and six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 and balance sheet as of April 30, 2015 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 April 30, 2015 and the results of operations and the cash flows for the periods presented herein have been made. The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2014 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 (“GAAP”) 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 GAAP 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, 2014.

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 the NASDAQ Global Select Market 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 income 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

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ consolidated financial statements to conform to the April 30, 2015 presentation.

Immaterial Classification Error - An immaterial error in the classification of an equity method investee’s distributions was corrected in the April 30, 2014 consolidated financial statements which resulted in the reclassification of an equity method investee’s distributions from investing to operating cash flows in the amount of $184,000 in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company has evaluated the materiality of this error both qualitatively and quantitatively in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, and determined that this error was not material to our previously reported consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2014 and prior.

Other Reclassifications - Equity in earnings of investments were reclassified as a component of other income (expense) from a separate line item following the income tax provision on the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Financial Accounting Standards Board – Accounting Standards Update (“FASB ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. This ASU also supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition – Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. In addition, the existing requirements for the recognition of a gain or loss on the transfer of nonfinancial assets that are not in a contract with a customer (e.g., assets within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and tangible assets within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other) are amended to be consistent with the guidance on recognition and measurement (including the constraint on revenue) in this ASU.

Limoneira Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps:

Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Determine the transaction price.

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the effect this ASU may have on its consolidated financial statements.

FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU.

The amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements

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 April 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014, which are measured on a recurring basis during the period, segregated by level within the fair value hierarchy:

April 30, 2015

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets at fair value:
Available-for-sale securities	$	25,325,000	$	–	$	–	$	25,325,000
Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative	$	–	$	1,803,000	$	–	$	1,803,000

October 31, 2014

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets at fair value:
Available-for-sale securities	$	24,270,000	$	–	$	–	$	24,270,000
Liabilities at fair value:
Derivative	$	–	$	1,782,000	$	–	$	1,782,000

Limoneira Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

3. Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Available-for-sale securities consist of marketable securities in Calavo common stock. The Company currently owns 500,000 shares, representing approximately 2.9% of Calavo’s outstanding common stock. These securities are measured at fair value by quoted market prices. Calavo’s stock price at April 30, 2015 and October 31, 2014 was $50.65 and $48.54 per share, respectively.

The derivative consists of an interest rate swap, 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.

6. Real Estate Development Assets (continued)

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 April 30, 2015, 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 Series B and Series B-2 convertible preferred shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 because such shares were anti-dilutive.

19. Sale of Property

In April 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Wilson Ranch, which is comprised of 52 acres of land with 33 acres of avocado orchards located near the City of Fillmore, in Ventura County, California. The sales price is approximately $2,750,000 and the gain on the sale is expected to be approximately $967,000. The property is currently in escrow and is expected to close in July 2015.

20. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated events subsequent to April 30, 2015 through the filing date to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon this evaluation, except as disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements, it was determined that no subsequent events occurred that require recognition or disclosure in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

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 also have agricultural operations in Yuma, Arizona, through our subsidiary, Associated Citrus Packers, Inc. (“Associated”) and in Chile in connection with our 35% interest in Rosales S.A., a citrus packing, marketing and sales business located in La Serena. We are an agribusiness and real estate development company founded and based in Santa Paula, California, committed to responsibly using and managing our approximately 10,700 acres of land, water resources and other assets to maximize long-term shareholder value. Our current operations consist of fruit production, sales 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 4,200 acres of lemons, 1,200 acres of avocados, 1,400 acres of oranges and 700 acres of specialty citrus and other crops. We also operate our own packinghouses in Santa Paula, California and Yuma, Arizona, where we process and pack lemons that we grow, as well as lemons grown by others.

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, Santa Barbara and Paso Robles Basins (aquifers). We use ground water and water from local water districts in Tulare County, which is in California’s San Joaquin Valley and we use ground water in San Bernardino County. We also use ground water in Arizona from the Colorado River through the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainage District (“YMIDD”).

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 include apartments, single-family homes and approximately 200 completed rental units and another approximately 1,800 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 existing and 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 95%, 94% and 93% of our fiscal year 2014, 2013 and 2012 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 April 30, 2015, lemon sales were comprised of approximately 76% to U.S. and Canada-based customers, 20% to domestic exporters and 4% to international customers. During the six months ended April 30, 2015, lemon sales were comprised of approximately 71% to U.S. and Canada-based customers, 25% to domestic exporters and 4% to international customers. 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.

Our agribusiness operations are 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.

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 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 4%, 5% and 6% of our fiscal year 2014, 2013 and 2012 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% of our consolidated revenues in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012. 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 California 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 and we use ground water in San Bernardino County. Following our acquisition of Associated we began using ground water in Arizona from the Colorado River through the YMIDD.

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 oversee the Central Valley Project, California’s largest water delivery system, and 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.

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.

We use ground water provided by wells at the Cadiz Ranch in San Bernardino County, California.

Our Associated farming operations in Yuma, Arizona source water from the Colorado River through the YMIDD, 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 fiscal year 2014, irrigation costs for our agricultural operations were $0.3 million greater than fiscal year 2013, resulting from pumping more water from wells and basins due to less rainfall. Entering the summer season, this trend may 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.

China Tulare County Citrus Import Suspension

China’s Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine has suspended imports of all citrus fruit from Tulare County, California effective February 17, 2015 due to the detection on certain fruit of Phytophthora syringae, commonly known as brown rot. We do not expect the suspension to have a material effect on our operating results because we do not sell a significant amount of fruit to China.

Recent Developments

In June 2013, we announced a plan to build 71 agriculture workforce housing units in Santa Paula, California. This project has been substantially completed and we began renting units in May 2015. When fully occupied, annual rental revenue from the additional housing units is anticipated to be approximately $0.9 million. We estimate that the total cost of the development will be approximately $8.8 million and have capitalized approximately $2.0 million of costs related to this project in the first six months of fiscal year 2015.

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 of our packing facilities. During the first six months of fiscal year 2015, we capitalized approximately $8.0 million of costs in connection with construction services and equipment.

On February 3, 2015, we amended our lease agreement with Cadiz Real Estate, LLC (“Cadiz”). The amendment, among other things; increased by 200 acres the amount of property leased by us under the lease agreement dated July 1, 2013. In connection with the amendment, we paid a total of $1.2 million to acquire existing lemon trees and irrigations systems from Cadiz and a Cadiz tenant.

On February 17, 2015, the City of Santa Paula unanimously approved our updated East Area 1 Master Tentative Tract Map, Supplemental Environmental Impact Report and updated Development Agreement. The property is now fully entitled and we have the requisite approvals to break ground on the Santa Paula Gateway (East Areas 1 and 2) project.

On March 24, 2015, we declared a $0.045 per share dividend which was paid on April 15, 2015 in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.6 million to common shareholders of record on April 6, 2015.

In April 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell our Wilson Ranch, which is comprised of 52 acres of land with 33 acres of avocado orchards located in Ventura County, California. The sales price is approximately $2.8 million and the gain on the sale is expected to be approximately $1.0 million. The sales price represents approximately $53,000 and $83,000 per acre for total acres and productive avocado acres, respectively. The property is currently in escrow and is expected to close in July 2015.

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 income which management considers to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP as follows:

Lemons: The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of higher lemon by-product and other lemon sales partially offset by lower fresh lemons sales. During the second quarters of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, fresh lemon sales were $15.6 million and $15.8 million, respectively, on 711,000 and 725,000 cartons of lemons sold at average per carton prices of $21.94 and $21.79, respectively. Lemon by-product and other lemon sales were $3.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to $2.3 million during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Avocados: The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of increased volume and higher prices. Due to early maturing of the California crop and in response to Peruvian avocados expected to arrive in the U.S. market in June, which may put downward pressure on prices, we accelerated our harvest plan to March through June in fiscal year 2015 compared to April through July in fiscal year 2014. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, 3.9 million pounds of avocados were sold at an average per pound price of $1.05 compared to 1.2 million pounds sold at an average per pound price of $.97 during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Navel and Valencia oranges: The decrease in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 was attributable to lower prices partially offset by higher sales volume compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, 377,000 40-pound carton equivalents of oranges were sold at average per carton prices of $6.90 compared to 278,000 40-pound carton equivalents sold at average per carton prices of $12.35 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The higher prices in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 were 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of increased volume of specialty citrus sold partially offset by lower prices. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, 117,000 40-pound carton equivalents of specialty citrus were sold at an average per carton price of $11.97 compared to 66,000 40-pound carton equivalents sold at an average per carton price of $13.20 during the same period in fiscal year 2014. The higher prices in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 were primarily due to decreased market supply resulting from a period of freezing temperatures in California’s San Joaquin Valley during December 2013.

Costs and Expenses

Our total costs and expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 were $24.1 million compared to $21.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, for a 12% increase of $2.5 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 related to the fruit we procure and sell for third-party growers and depreciation expense. These costs are discussed further below:

	Agribusiness Costs and Expenses for the Quarters Ended April 30,
	2015		2014		Change

Packing costs	$	5,254,000	$	4,485,000	$	769,000		17%
Harvest costs		3,885,000		2,602,000		1,283,000		49%
Growing costs		5,853,000		4,805,000		1,048,000		22%
Third-party grower costs		4,238,000		4,889,000		(651,000	)	(13)%
Depreciation and amortization		793,000		682,000		111,000		16%
Agribusiness costs and expenses	$	20,023,000	$	17,463,000	$	2,560,000		15%

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 increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 is primarily attributable to $0.6 million of costs at our Yuma, Arizona packinghouse which was acquired in June 2014. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we packed and sold 711,000 cartons of lemons and 30,000 cartons of specialty citrus at average per carton costs of $7.09 compared to 725,000 cartons of lemons packed and sold at average per carton costs of $6.18 during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Harvest costs: The increase in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 is primarily attributable to increased volume of avocados, oranges and specialty citrus harvested.

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 second quarter of fiscal year 2015 is primarily due to increased costs of $0.8 million for fertilization and soil amendments, pest control, and pruning compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014. These increases reflect farm management decisions based on weather, harvest timing and crop conditions.

Third-party grower costs: We sell fruit 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 second quarter of fiscal year 2015 is primarily attributable to decreased volume of third-party grower lemons sold, partially offset by higher prices. Of the 711,000 and 725,000 cartons sold during the second quarter of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively, 184,000 (26%) and 250,000 (34%) were procured from third-party growers at average per carton prices of $21.72 and $17.97, respectively. Additionally, we incurred $241,000 of costs for purchased, packed fruit to sell in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to $396,000 during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Depreciation expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 was approximately $0.1 million higher than the second quarter of fiscal year 2014 due to an increase in assets placed into service and the acquisition of our Yuma packinghouse in June 2014.

Other Income/Expense

Other income (expense), net was $0.1 million of expense for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to $28,000 of income for the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. The approximately $0.1 million increase in expense was primarily due to an increase in net interest expense in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Income Taxes

We recorded an estimated income tax provision of $1.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 on pre-tax income of $4.0 million compared to an estimated income tax provision of $1.1 million on pre-tax income of $3.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2014. Our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 is approximately 35.3%.

Six Months Ended April 30, 2015 Compared to the Six Months Ended April 30, 2014

Revenues

Total revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2015 was $56.3 million compared to $50.7 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014. The 11% increase of $5.6 million was primarily the result of increased agribusiness revenues as detailed below:

	Agribusiness Revenues for the Six Months Ended April 30,
	2015		2014		Change

Lemons	$	43,526,000	$	39,064,000	$	4,462,000		11%
Avocados		4,115,000		1,173,000		2,942,000		251%
Navel and Valencia oranges		4,034,000		5,320,000		(1,286,000	)	(24)%
Specialty citrus and other crops		2,127,000		2,751,000		(624,000	)	(23)%
Agribusiness revenues	$	53,802,000	$	48,308,000	$	5,494,000		11%

Lemons: The increase in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of an increase in fresh lemon sales. During the first six months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, fresh lemon sales were $36.0 million and $33.7 million, respectively, on 1,580,000 and 1,522,000 cartons of lemons sold at average per carton prices of $22.78 and $22.14, respectively. Additionally, lemon by-product and other lemon sales were $7.5 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to $5.4 million during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Avocados: The increase in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of higher prices and increased volume of avocados sold. Due to early maturing of the California crop and in response to Peruvian avocados expected to arrive in the U.S. market in June, which may put downward pressure on prices, we accelerated our harvest plan to March through June in fiscal year 2015 compared to April through July in fiscal year 2014. During the first six months of fiscal year 2015, 3.9 million pounds of avocados were sold at an average per pound price of $1.05 per pound compared to 1.2 million pounds sold at an average per pound price of $0.98 during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Navel and Valencia oranges: The decrease in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was attributable to lower prices partially offset by increased volume of oranges sold. In the first six months of fiscal year 2015, 565,000 40-pound carton equivalents of oranges were sold at average per carton prices of $7.08 compared to 455,000 40-pound carton equivalents sold at average per carton prices of $11.69 in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. The higher prices in the first six months of fiscal year 2014 were 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 decrease in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of lower prices and decreased volume of specialty citrus sold. During the first six months of fiscal year 2015, 191,000 40-pound carton equivalents of specialty citrus were sold at an average per carton price of $10.99 compared to 193,000 40-pound carton equivalents sold at an average per carton price of $14.25 during the same period in fiscal year 2014. The higher prices in the first six months of fiscal year 2014 were primarily due to decreased market supply resulting from a period of freezing temperatures in California’s San Joaquin Valley during December 2013.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2015 were $54.7 million compared to $49.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014, for a 10% increase of $5.1 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 related to the fruit we procure for third-party growers and depreciation expense. These costs are discussed further below:

	Agribusiness Costs and Expenses for the Six Months Ended April 30,
	2015		2014		Change

Packing costs	$	11,792,000	$	9,086,000	$	2,706,000	30%
Harvest costs		7,204,000		6,669,000		535,000	8%
Growing costs		12,020,000		11,408,000		612,000	5%
Third-party grower costs		13,237,000		12,429,000		808,000	7%
Depreciation and amortization		1,584,000		1,333,000		251,000	19%
Agribusiness costs and expenses	$	45,837,000	$	40,925,000	$	4,912,000	12%

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 increase in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily attributable to $1.9 million of costs at out Yuma, Arizona packinghouse which was acquired in June 2014. During the first six months of fiscal year 2014, we packed and sold 1,580,000 cartons of lemons and 58,000 cartons of specialty citrus at average per carton costs of $7.20 compared to 1,522,000 cartons of lemons packed and sold at average per carton costs of $5.97 during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Harvest costs: The increase in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily attributable to higher avocado and Navel orange harvest volumes compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.

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 growing costs in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 is primarily due to net increased costs of $0.6 million for cultivation, fertilization and soil amendments and pest control compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014. These net increases reflect farm management decisions based on weather, harvest timing and crop conditions.

Third-party grower costs: We sell fruit 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 increase in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily attributable to higher prices and volume of third-party grower lemons sold. Of the 1,580,000 and 1,522,000 cartons sold during the first six months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively, 621,000 (39%) and 616,000 (40%) were procured from third-party growers at average per carton costs of $20.70 and $18.82, respectively. Additionally, we incurred $380,000 of costs for purchased, packed fruit to sell in the first six months of fiscal year 2015, compared to $838,000 during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Depreciation expense for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was $0.3 million higher than the first six months of fiscal year 2014 due to an increase in assets placed into service and the acquisition of our Yuma, Arizona packinghouse in June 2014.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income, net was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The $0.1 million decrease in income in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 is primarily attributed to an increase in net interest expense compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Income Taxes

We recorded an estimated income tax provision of $0.7 million in the six months ended April 30, 2015 on a pre-tax income of $1.8 million compared to an estimated income tax provision of $0.4 million on a pre-tax income of $1.3 million in the six months ended April 30, 2014. Our projected annual effective tax rate for fiscal year 2015 is approximately 35.3%.

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 April 30, 2015 Compared to the Twelve Months Ended April 30, 2014

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

Total revenues increased $14.2 million in the twelve months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 primarily due to increased agribusiness revenues, particularly increased lemon sales.

Total costs and expenses increased $13.1 million in the twelve months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 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 the acquisition of our Yuma, Arizona packinghouse. 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 decreased $0.3 million in the twelve months ended April 30, 2015 compared to the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 primarily due to an increase in net interest expense.

Income tax provision was similar period to period.

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.

For the six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, net cash (used) provided by operating activities was ($1.5) million and $2.7 million, respectively. The significant components of our Company’s cash flows provided by operating activities as included in the unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows are as follows:

Net income for the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was $1.1 million compared to $0.9 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2014. The increase of $0.2 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014 was primarily attributable to an increase in operating income of $0.6 million partially offset by a decrease in other income of $0.1 million and an increase in income tax provision of $0.3 million.

Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2014 due to an increase in assets placed into service and the acquisition of our Yuma, Arizona packinghouse in June 2014.

Loss on disposals of assets was $0.2 million and $0.3 million in the first six months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively, and was primarily the result of expenses incurred from orchard disposals related to Associated’s Pilot Fallowing Program agreement with YMIDD.

Stock compensation expense was $0.7 million and $0.6 million in the first six months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively, and is comprised primarily of vesting of 2012, 2013 and 2014 grants to management under our stock-based compensation plan plus non-employee directors’ stock-based compensation.

Distributed earnings of investments were $0.5 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and were comprised primarily of cash distributions from our investment in Limco Del Mar, Ltd.

Accounts receivable, net balance at April 30, 2015 was $11.7 million compared to $7.2 million at October 31, 2014, resulting in a corresponding decrease in operating cash flows of $4.5 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015. Accounts receivable, net balance was $11.2 million at April 30, 2014 compared to $6.4 million at October 31, 2013, resulting in a corresponding decrease in operating cash flows of $4.8 million. Our accounts receivable balance typically increases during the first six months of our fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of our agribusiness operations. The $4.5 million decrease in operating cash flows in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the $4.8 million decrease in operating cash flows during same period in fiscal year 2014 is primarily due to fluctuations in price and volume related to agribusiness revenues.

Cultural costs provided $2.1 million in operating cash flows during the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to providing $2.7 million in operating cash flows during the same period in fiscal year 2014. This decrease was primarily due to an initial higher amount of capitalized cultural costs 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 six months of fiscal year 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2015.

Income taxes receivable balance at April 30, 2015 was $0.4 million compared to $1.1 million at October 31, 2014, resulting in a corresponding decrease in operating cash flows of $0.7 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2015. Income taxes receivable balance was zero at April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013.

Accounts payable and growers payable used $1.1 million of cash from operating activities in the six months ended April 30, 2015 compared to providing $3.5 million in the same period in fiscal year 2014. The $1.1 million of cash used in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 was primarily the result of $0.3 million decrease in accounts payable, $0.2 million increase in growers payable and $0.8 million of capital expenditures accrued but not paid at period end. The $3.5 million of cash provided in the first six months of fiscal year 2014 was primarily the result of $1.0 million increase in accounts payable and $3.7 million increase in growers payable, partially offset by $0.9 million of capital expenditures accrued but not paid at period end. The $0.2 million increase in growers payable in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to the $3.7 million increase in growers payable during the same period in fiscal year 2014 is primarily due to fluctuations in price and volume and the timing of payments for lemons we procure and sell for third party growers.

Accrued liabilities used $3.2 million in operating cash flows in the six months ended April 30, 2015 compared to $1.9 million of operating cash flows during the same period in fiscal year 2014. The operating cash used in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 is primarily comprised of payments for incentive compensation, property taxes and lemon suppliers. The operating cash used in the six months ended April 30, 2014 is primarily the result of $1.9 million of income taxes that were paid during the period.

Other long-term liabilities provided $0.2 million of operating cash flows in the six months ended April 30, 2015 and represented $0.4 million of non-cash pension expense offset by $0.2 million of pension contributions for the period. The $0.1 million of operating cash flows provided during the six months ended April 30, 2014 represented $0.3 million of non-cash pension expense offset by $0.2 million of pension contributions for the period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $16.4 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $9.4 million during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

Net cash used in investing activities is primarily comprised of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $16.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015, comprised of $13.8 million for property, plant and equipment primarily related to construction and equipment for our lemon packing facilities and additional farm worker housing units and $2.5 million for real estate development projects. Capital expenditures were $9.4 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2014, comprised of $7.4 million for property, plant and equipment primarily related to our construction and equipment for our lemon packing facilities and additional farm worker housing units and $2.0 million for real estate development projects.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the six months ended April 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $17.9 million compared to $6.7 million during the same period in fiscal year 2014.

The $17.9 million of cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2015 is comprised primarily of net borrowings of long-term debt in the amount $19.8 million. The $6.7 million of cash provided by financing activities during the first six months of fiscal year 2014 is comprised primarily of net payments of long term debt in the amount of $1.1 million and net proceeds from our issuance of preferred stock in the amount of $9.3 million. Additionally, we paid common and preferred dividends of $1.6 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015 compared to $1.2 million in first six months of fiscal year 2014.

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 the notes 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 2015. 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 six months of fiscal year 2015, we capitalized approximately $8.0 million of costs in connection with construction services and equipment. The project is expected to cost $20 million to $22 million and be operational in 2015.

Rabobank Revolving Credit Facility

As of April 30, 2015, our outstanding borrowings under the Rabobank Credit Facility were $81.8 million and we had $12.0 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 1.98% at April 30, 2015. We have the ability to prepay any amounts outstanding under the Rabobank Credit Facility without penalty. The line of credit provides for maximum borrowings of $100.0 million and the borrowing capacity based on collateral value was $93.8 million at April 30, 2015.

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 the notes 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, 2014.

Farm Credit West Term Loans and Non-Revolving Credit Facility

As of April 30, 2015, we had an aggregate of approximately $6.3 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 April 30, 2015, we had $4.5 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 April 30, 2015. This term loan is secured by certain of our agricultural properties.

Term Loan Maturing October 2035. As of April 30, 2015, our wholly owned subsidiary, Windfall Investors, LLC, had $1.3 million outstanding under the Farm Credit West Term Loan that matures in October 2035. 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 monthly installments through November 2035. The interest rate resets monthly and was 2.75% at April 30, 2015. This term loan is secured by the Windfall Farms property.

Non-Revolving Line of Credit Maturing May 2018. As of April 30, 2015, 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 April 30, 2015. 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.

Interest Rate Swap

We enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage the risks and costs associated with our financing activities. At April 30, 2015, we had an interest rate swap agreement which locks in the interest rate on $40.0 million of our $88.1 million in debt at 4.30% until June 2018. Additional information regarding the interest rate swap can be found in the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

The remaining $48.1 million of debt bears interest at variable rates, which were 2.75% or less at April 30, 2015.

Contractual Obligations

The following table presents our Company’s contractual obligations at April 30, 2015 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)	$	40,000,000	$	-	$	-	$	40,000,000	$	-
Variable rate debt (principal)		48,104,000		583,000		1,211,000		43,592,000		2,718,000
Operating lease obligations		10,283,000		1,746,000		3,396,000		2,121,000		3,020,000
Total contractual obligations	$	98,387,000	$	2,329,000	$	4,607,000	$	85,713,000	$	5,738,000

Interest payments on fixed and variable rate debt	$	14,326,000	$	2,828,000	$	5,619,000	$	4,541,000	$	338,000

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 2015. 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 the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this 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 April 30, 2015.

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 total $0.3 million annually.

During March and April 2014, we issued, in aggregate, 9,300 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock at $100 par value (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”). The holders of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 4% of the liquidation value of $1,000 per share. Such dividends are payable quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October in each year commencing July 1, 2014 and total $0.4 million annually.

Defined Benefit Plan Contributions

We have a noncontributory, defined benefit, single employer pension plan (the “Plan”), which provides retirement benefits for all eligible employees of the Company. Effective June 2004, the Company froze the Plan and no additional benefits accrued to participants subsequent to that date. We may make discretionary contributions to the Plan and we may be required to make contributions to adhere to applicable regulatory funding provisions, based in part on the Plan’s asset valuations and underlying actuarial assumptions. We made funding contributions of $0.5 million, $1.3 million, and $1.3 million for fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively and we expect to contribute approximately $0.5 million to the Plan in fiscal year 2015.

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.

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 $0.7 million and $1.1 million of lease expense in the six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014, 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.

On February 3, 2015, we amended our lease agreement with Cadiz. The amendment, among other things; increased by 200 acres the amount of property leased by us under the lease agreement dated July 1, 2013. In connection with the amendment, we paid a total of $1.2 million to acquire existing lemon trees and irrigations systems from Cadiz and a Cadiz tenant. We incurred $25,000 and $4,000 of lease expense in the first six months of fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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.

Capital Expenditure

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 capacity and efficiency of our packing facilities. The contract is subject to a guaranteed maximum price of approximately $9.3 million which was revised to $11.6 million in March 2015 based on design modifications and finalization of construction costs. The project commenced in fiscal 2014 and is expected to be substantially complete in 2015.

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 April 30, 2015 elsewhere in this 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. We also earn commissions on certain brokered fruit sales, which totaled $115,000, $53,000 and $33,000 in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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. We recorded agribusiness revenues from crop insurance proceeds of $184,000, $36,000 and $64,000 in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

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 six months of fiscal year 2015, we capitalized approximately $2.8 million of costs related to our real estate projects and expensed approximately $0.5 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 various factors, we recorded impairment charges of $0.4 million, $0.1 million and zero in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, 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 the notes to our 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 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. During 2014, the Society of Actuaries released a new mortality table, referred to as RP-2014, which is believed to better reflect mortality improvements and is to be used in calculating defined benefit pension obligations. In addition, during fiscal year 2014, the assumed discount rate used to measure the pension obligation decreased from 4.4% to 4.0% as a result of changes in market interest rates. We used RP-2014 to measure our pension obligation as of October 31, 2014 and combined with the decrease in the assumed discount rate, our pension obligation increased by approximately $2.7 million as of October 31, 2014 with a corresponding decrease in other comprehensive income recognized net of tax. Further changes in any of these estimates could materially affect the amounts recorded that are related to our defined benefit retirement plan.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of April 30, 2015, 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.
