LIMONEIRA COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Business
Limoneira Company (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) engages primarily in growing citrus and avocados, picking and hauling citrus, and packing, marketing and selling citrus. The Company is also engaged in residential rentals and other rental operations and real estate development activities.
The Company markets and sells citrus directly to food service, wholesale and retail customers throughout the United States, Canada, Asia, Europe and other international markets. The Company is a member of Sunkist Growers, Inc. (“Sunkist”), an agricultural marketing cooperative, and sells a portion of its oranges, specialty citrus and other crops to Sunkist-licensed and other third-party packinghouses.
Basis of Presentation and Preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of all the subsidiaries and investments in which the Company holds a controlling interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for a complete set of consolidated financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

COVID-19 Pandemic
There is continued uncertainty around the breadth and duration of the Company's business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in demand for the Company's products beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, has negatively impacted its sales and profitability for the last three years. The COVID-19 pandemic may impact its sales and profitability in future periods. The duration of these trends and the magnitude of such impacts are uncertain and therefore cannot be estimated at this time, as they are influenced by a number of factors, many of which are outside management’s control. The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, including its ability to comply with debt covenants, for fiscal year 2023 and beyond, is driven by estimates that contain uncertainties.
Concentrations and Geographic Information
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to revenues and accounts receivable are limited due to a large, diverse customer base. One customer represented 13 % of revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2023. Two individual customers represented 15 % and 12 % of revenue, respectively, for the three months ended January 31, 2022. One individual customer represented 11 % of accounts receivable, net as of January 31, 2023. No individual customer represented more than 10% of accounts receivable, net as of October 31, 2022.
One individual supplier represented 13 % of accounts payable as of January 31, 2023. No individual supplier represented more than 10% of accounts payable as of October 31, 2022.
Lemons procured from third-party growers were 66 % and 57 % of the Company's lemon supply for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. One third-party grower was 17 % and 20 % of the lemon supply for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company maintains its cash in federally insured financial institutions. The account balances at these institutions periodically exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance coverage and, as a result, there is a concentration of risk related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.
During the three months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had approximately $ 252,000 and $ 208,000 , respectively, of total sales in Chile by Fruticola Pan de Azucar S.A. ("PDA") and Agricola San Pablo SpA ("San Pablo") and approximately $ 74,000 and $ 147,000 , respectively, of total sales in Argentina by Trapani Fresh Consorcio de Cooperacion ("Trapani Fresh").
Aggregate foreign exchange transaction losses realized for our foreign subsidiaries was approximately $ 58,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

East Area I, Retained Property and East Area II (continued)
The Company and LLCB also entered into a Retained Property Development Agreement on the Transaction Date (the "Retained Property Agreement"). Under the terms of the Retained Property Agreement, LLCB transferred certain contributed East Area I property, which is entitled for commercial development, back to the Company (the "Retained Property") and arranged for the design and construction of certain improvements to the Retained Property, subject to certain reimbursements by the Company.

The Loan had an outstanding balance of $ 9,800,000 as of January 31, 2023.
In February 2018, the Company and certain principals from Lewis guaranteed the obligations under the Loan. The guarantors are jointly and severally liable for all Loan obligations in the event of default by LLCB. The guarantee continues in effect until all of the Loan obligations are fully paid. The $ 1,080,000 estimated value of the guarantee was recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and is included in other long-term liabilities with a corresponding value in equity in investments. Additionally, a Reimbursement Agreement was executed between the Lewis guarantors and the Company, which provides for unpaid liabilities of LLCB to be shared pro-rata by the Lewis guarantors and the Company in proportion to their percentage interest in LLCB.

6. Equity in Investments (continued)
Unconsolidated Significant Subsidiary
In accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X, which applies to interim reports on Form 10-Q, the Company must determine if its equity method investees are considered “significant subsidiaries." In evaluating its investments, there are two tests utilized to determine if equity method investees are considered significant subsidiaries: the income test and the investment test. Summarized income statement information of an equity method investee is required in an interim report if either of the two tests exceed 20% in the interim periods presented. During the year-to-date interim periods for the three months ended January 31, 2023 and 2022, this threshold was not met for any of the Company's equity investments.

10. Long-Term Debt (continued)
The Company entered into a Master Loan Agreement (the “MLA”) with AgWest Farm Credit, formerly known as Farm Credit West, (the "Lender") dated June 1, 2021, together with a revolving credit facility supplement (the “Revolving Credit Supplement”), a non-revolving credit facility supplement (the “Non-Revolving Credit Supplement,” and together with the Revolving Credit Supplement, the “Supplements”) and an agreement to convert to a fixed interest rate for a period of time as described in the table above ("Fixed Interest Rate Agreement"). The MLA governs the terms of the Supplements. The MLA amends and restates the previous Master Loan Agreement between the Company and the Lender, dated June 19, 2017 and extends the principal repayment to July 1, 2026.
In March 2020, the Company entered into a revolving equity line of credit promissory note and loan agreement with the Lender for a $ 15,000,000 Revolving Equity Line of Credit (the "RELOC") secured by a first lien on the Windfall Investors, LLC property. The RELOC matures in 2043 and features a 3 -year draw period followed by 20 years of fully amortized loan payments.
The Supplements and RELOC provide aggregate borrowing capacity of $ 130,000,000 comprised of $ 75,000,000 under the Revolving Credit Supplement, $ 40,000,000 under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement and $ 15,000,000 under the RELOC. As of January 31, 2023, the Company's outstanding borrowings under the Supplements and RELOC were $ 40,000,000 and it had $ 90,000,000 available to borrow.
In January 2023, the Company used the proceeds from the Northern Properties sale as described in Note 3 to reduce the Company's long-term debt.
The interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Supplement automatically adjusts on the first day of each month. The interest rate for any amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Supplement was based on the one-month LIBOR plus or minus an applicable margin. As of January 1, 2023, the rate transitioned from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The applicable margin ranges from 1.75 % to 2.35 % depending on the ratio of current assets, plus the remaining available commitment divided by current liabilities. On each one-year anniversary of July 1, the Company has the option to convert the interest rate in use under the Revolving Credit Supplement from the preceding SOFR-based calculation to a variable interest rate. The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Supplement without penalty.
The interest rate in effect under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement is a fixed interest rate of 3.57 % per year until July 1, 2025 (the “Fixed Rate Term”). Thereafter, the interest rate will convert to a variable interest rate established by the Lender corresponding to the applicable interest rate group. The Company may not prepay any amounts under the outstanding Non-Revolving Credit Supplement during the Fixed Rate Term. Thereafter, the Company may prepay any amounts outstanding under the Non-Revolving Credit Supplement, provided that a fee equal to 0.50 % of the amount prepaid and any other cost or loss suffered by the Lender must be paid with any prepayment.
The interest rate in effect under the RELOC is a variable interest rate established by the Lender corresponding to the applicable interest rate group, which was 6.75 % as of January 31, 2023. The interest rate may be adjusted automatically under the provisions of the Lender's variable interest rate plan. The Company may prepay any amounts outstanding under the RELOC without penalty.
All indebtedness under the MLA and RELOC, including any indebtedness under the Supplements, is secured by a first lien on Company-owned stock or participation certificates, Company funds maintained with the Lender, the Lender’s unallocated surplus, and certain of the Company’s agricultural properties in Ventura counties in California and certain of the Company’s building fixtures and improvements and investments in mutual water companies associated with the pledged agricultural properties. The MLA includes customary default provisions that provide should an event of default occur, the Lender, at its option, may declare all or any portion of the indebtedness under the MLA to be immediately due and payable without demand, notice of nonpayment, protest or prior recourse to collateral, and terminate or suspend the Company’s right to draw or request funds on any loan or line of credit.
The MLA subjects the 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 of the Company’s business. The Company is also subject to a financial covenant that requires it to maintain compliance with a specific debt service coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.25 :1 when measured at October 31, 2023 and annually thereafter. The Company was in compliance as of October 31, 2022.
