</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements relating to future results of Calavo Growers,
Inc. (including certain projections and business trends) that are &#147;forward-looking statements&#148;
within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section&nbsp;21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and are subject to the &#147;safe harbor&#148; created by those
sections. Forward-looking statements frequently are identifiable by the use of words such as
&#147;believe,&#148; &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;will,&#148; and other similar expressions. Our actual
results may differ materially from those projected as a result of certain risks and uncertainties.
These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: increased competition, general
economic and business conditions, energy costs and availability, conducting substantial amounts of
business internationally, pricing pressures on agricultural products, adverse weather and growing
conditions confronting avocado growers, new governmental regulations, as well as other risks and
uncertainties, including those set forth in Item&nbsp;1A. Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K and those detailed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date hereof, and
we undertake no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking statements, whether as a result
of new information, future events or otherwise.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Calavo Growers, Inc. (Calavo, the Company, we, us or our) procures and markets avocados and
other perishable commodities and prepares and distributes processed avocado products. Our
expertise in marketing and distributing avocados, processed avocados, and other perishable foods
allows us to deliver a wide array of fresh and processed food products to food distributors,
produce wholesalers, supermarkets, and restaurants on a worldwide basis. We procure avocados
principally from California, Mexico, and Chile. Through our operating facilities in southern
California, Texas, New Jersey, Arizona, and Mexico, we sort, pack, and/or ripen avocados for
distribution both domestically and internationally. Additionally, we also distribute other
perishable foods, such as Hawaiian grown papayas, and prepare processed avocado products. We
report our operations in two different business segments: (1)&nbsp;fresh products and (2)&nbsp;processed
products. See Note 11 in our consolidated financial statements for further information about our
business segments.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;9, 2001, we completed a series of transactions whereby common and preferred
shareholders of Calavo Growers of California (the Cooperative), an agricultural marketing
cooperative association, exchanged all of their outstanding shares for shares of our common stock.
Concurrent with this transaction, the Cooperative was merged into us with Calavo Growers, Inc.
(Calavo) emerging as the surviving entity. These transactions had the effect of converting the
legal structure of the business from a non-profit cooperative to a for-profit corporation. All
references herein to us for periods prior to the merger refer to the business and operations of the
Cooperative.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In August&nbsp;2006, we entered into a joint venture agreement with San Rafael Distributing (SRD)
for the purpose of the marketing, sale and distribution of fresh produce from the existing location
of SRD at the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market (Terminal Market), located in Los Angeles,
California. Such joint venture operates under the name of Maui Fresh International, LLC (Maui
Fresh) and commenced operations in August&nbsp;2006. SRD and Calavo each have an equal one-half
ownership interest in Maui Fresh, but SRD has overall management responsibility for the operations
of Maui Fresh at the Terminal Market. We use the equity method to account for our investment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June&nbsp;2007, we entered into a distribution agreement with Agricola Belher (Belher) of
Mexico, a well-established quality producer of fresh vegetables, primarily tomatoes, for export to
the U.S. market. Pursuant to such distribution agreement, Belher agreed, at their sole cost and
expense, to harvest, pack, export, ship, and deliver tomatoes exclusively to our company, primarily
our Arizona facility. In exchange, we agreed to sell and distribute such tomatoes, advance $2
million to Belher for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during
the season (subject to limitations, as defined), and return the proceeds from such tomato sales to
Belher, net of our commission and aforementioned advances. The agreement also allows for us to
advance additional amounts to Belher at our sole discretion. As of October&nbsp;31, 2008, we have
advanced $2.0&nbsp;million to Belher pursuant to this agreement, which is recorded in advances to
suppliers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We also entered into an infrastructure agreement in June&nbsp;2007 with Belher in order to
significantly increase production yields and fruit quality. Pursuant to this agreement, we are to
advance up to $5&nbsp;million to be used solely for the acquisition, construction, and installation of
improvements to and on certain land owned by Belher, as well as packing line equipment. Advances
incur interest at 8.8% at October&nbsp;31, 2008. We advanced $4.8&nbsp;million as of October&nbsp;31,
2008 ($1.2&nbsp;million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $3.6&nbsp;million included
in other long-term assets). Belher is to annually repay these advances in no less than 20%
increments through July&nbsp;2012. In addition, the agreement allows for additional $1.0&nbsp;million
advances to take place during the last five months of each of our fiscal years 2009 and 2010, but
they are subject to certain conditions and are to be made at our sole discretion. Belher is to
annually repay these advances in full on or before each of July&nbsp;2009 and July&nbsp;2010. Interest is to
be paid monthly or annually, as defined. Belher may prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of
the advances at any time.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to secure their obligations pursuant to both agreements discussed above, Belher
granted us a first-priority security interest in certain assets, including cash, inventory and
fixed assets, as defined.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective December&nbsp;2007, we entered into a consignment and marketing agreement with Maui
Pineapple Company, LTD. (MPC)&nbsp;to market and sell Maui Gold Pineapples throughout the continental
United States and Canada. MPC agreed, among other things, to source, pack and ship such pineapples
to an agreed port of entry. In exchange, we agreed, among other things, to be responsible for such
product upon arrival at the port, to market and sell the related product, and to develop and
implement marketing strategies aimed at building the Maui Gold brand recognition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The agreement calls for us to provide certain advances, as defined, and return the proceeds
from such pineapple sales to MPC, net of our commission, fees, and incentives, if applicable. The
term of this agreement is generally for 12&nbsp;months and automatically

December&nbsp;2008 and we are currently re-negotiating such agreement.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May&nbsp;2008, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of Hawaiian Sweet, Inc. (&#147;HS&#148;) and all
ownership interests of Hawaiian Pride, LLC (&#147;HP&#148;) from the Chairman of our Board of Directors,
Chief Executive Office and President. HS and HP engage in tropical-product packing and processing
operations in Hawaii. The Acquisition Agreement provides, among other things, that as a result of
the Acquisition Agreement, Calavo shall make an initial purchase price payment in the aggregate
amount of $3,500,000 for both entities. We made the initial payment on May&nbsp;20, 2008. Calavo shall
also make two additional annual payments, ranging from $2,500,000 to $4,500,000, based on certain
operating results (the &#147;Earn-Out Payment(s)&#148;), as defined. Pursuant to SFAS 141, <I>Business
Combinations</I>, we recorded approximately $7.1&nbsp;million as a liability related to deferred and
contingent consideration to the Sellers, of which $3.6&nbsp;million was recorded in accrued expenses,
$3.5&nbsp;million is recorded in long-term obligations, less current
portion, and $0.6&nbsp;million as deferred tax liabilities. Total
liabilities recorded as a result of the acquisition was
$7.7&nbsp;million.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Fresh products</B></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Calavo was founded in 1924 to market California avocados. In California, the growing area
stretches from San Diego County to Monterey County, with the majority of the growing areas located
approximately 100 miles north and south of Los Angeles County. The storage life of fresh avocados
is limited. It generally ranges from one to four weeks, depending upon the maturity of the fruit,
the growing methods used, and the handling conditions in the distribution chain.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We sell avocados to a diverse group of supermarket chains, wholesalers, food service and other
distributors, under the Calavo family of brand labels, as well as private labels. The
consolidation in the supermarket industry has led to fewer, but bigger buyers. From time to time,
sales are transacted via e-commerce. We believe that our largest customers will require us and our
competitors to implement one or more e-commerce distribution solutions to facilitate their
procurement and inventory management programs. In our judgment, the shift to e-commerce by our
largest customers will favorably impact larger handlers like us, which have the ability and
financial resources to support these strategies. From time to time, some of our larger customers
seek short-term sales contracts that formalize their pricing and volume requirements. Generally,
these contracts contain provisions that establish a price floor and/or ceiling during the contract
duration. Again, in our judgment, the shift by our customers to drafting sales contracts benefits
large handlers like us, which have the ability to fulfill the terms of these contracts. During
fiscal year 2008, our 5 and 25 largest customers represented approximately 17% and 43% of our total
consolidated revenues. During fiscal year 2007, our 5 and 25 largest customers represented
approximately 12% and 25% of our total consolidated revenues. During fiscal years 2008, 2007 and
2006 none of our customers represented more than 10% of total consolidated revenues.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Hass variety is the predominant avocado variety marketed on a worldwide basis. California
grown Hass avocados are available year-round, with peak production periods occurring between
February through September. Other varieties have a more limited picking season and generally
command a lower price. Approximately 2,100 California growers deliver avocados to us, generally
pursuant to a standard marketing agreement. Over the past several years, our share of the
California avocado crop has remained strong, with approximately 28% of the 2008 shipped California
avocado crop handled by us, based on data published by the California Avocado Commission. We
attribute our solid foothold in the California industry principally to the competitiveness of the
per pound returns we pay and the communication and service we maintain with our growers.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;California avocados delivered to our packinghouses are graded, sized, packed, cooled and, at
times, ripened for delivery to customers. Our ability to estimate the size, as well as the timing
of the delivery of the annual avocado crop, has a substantial impact on both our costs and the
sales price we receive for the fruit. To that end, our field personnel maintain direct contact
with growers and farm managers and coordinate harvest plans. The feedback from our field-managers
is used by our sales department to prepare sales plans used by our direct sales force.</DIV>

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A significant portion of our costs are fixed. As a result, significant fluctuations in the
volume of avocados delivered have a considerable impact on the per pound packing costs of avocados
we handle. Generally, larger crops will result in a lower per pound handling cost. We believe
that our cost structure is geared to optimally handle larger avocado crops. Our strategy calls for
continued efforts in aggressively recruiting new growers, retaining existing growers, and procuring
a larger percentage of the California avocado crop.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;California avocados delivered to us are grouped as a homogenous pool on a weekly basis based
on the variety, size, and grade. The proceeds we receive from the sale of each separate avocado
pool, net of a packing and marketing fee to cover our costs and a profit, are paid back to the
growers once each month. The packing and marketing fee we withhold is set annually by our Board of
Directors and is revised based on our estimated per pound packing and operating costs, as well as
our operating profit. This fee is a fixed rate per pound. Significant competitive pressures
dictate that we set the packing and marketing fee at the lowest possible level to attract new and
retain existing grower business. We believe that, if net proceeds paid ceased to be competitive,
growers would choose to deliver their avocados to alternate competitive handlers. Consequently, we
strive to deliver growers the highest return possible on avocados delivered to our packinghouses.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The California avocado market is highly competitive with 9 major avocado handlers. A
marketing order enacted by the state legislature is in effect for California grown avocados and
provides the financial resource to fund generic advertising and promotional programs. Avocados
handled by us are identifiable through packaging and the Calavo brand name sticker.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We also handle avocados from Mexico and Chile, some of which are on a consignment basis for
the suppliers. Pursuant to these arrangements, from time to time, we make advances to Mexican
growers and Chilean packers. Historically, we made such advances related to both pre-harvest and
post-harvest activities, but our focus during fiscal 2007 and 2008 was primarily related to
post-harvest activities. Typically, we obtain collateral (i.e. fruit, fixed assets, etc.) that
approximates the value at risk, prior to making such advances. Historical experience demonstrates
that providing post-harvest advances results in our acquiring full market risk for the product, as
it is possible (although unlikely) that our resale proceeds may be less than the amounts we paid to
the grower. This is a result of the high level of volatility inherent in the avocado and
perishable food markets, which are subject to significant pricing declines based on the
availability of fruit in the market. In the event that we do make a pre-season advance, our
ability to recover such pre-harvest advance would be largely dependent on the growers&#146; ability to
deliver avocados to us, as well as the inherent risks of farming, such as weather and pests. We
anticipate making moderate pre-season advances during fiscal 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales generated by non-California sourced avocados depend principally on the availability
of Mexican and Chilean grown avocados in the U.S. markets. In November&nbsp;2004, the United States
Department of Food and Agriculture (USDA)&nbsp;published a rule allowing Hass avocado imports from
Mexico into all 50 states year round (up from 31 states for only a six month period), except for
California, Florida, and Hawaii. The restriction on such states was lifted in February&nbsp;2007. For
the remaining 47 states, however, Mexico was able to deliver its fruit for all of fiscal 2008, 2007
and 2006. The implementation of this rule did not result in a significant increase in the sale of
Mexican sourced fruit during fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2006. See Item&nbsp;7 for further
details.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have leveraged our expertise in the handling and marketing of California avocados to our
non-California sourced avocados and perishable food products. Non-California sourced avocados
primarily include fruit imported from Mexico and Chile. Our strategy is to increase our market
share of currently sourced avocados to all accepted marketplaces. We believe our diversified
avocado sources provide a level of supply stability that may, over time, help solidify the demand
for avocados among consumers in the United States and elsewhere in the world. We believe our
efforts in distributing our other various commodities complement our offerings of avocados.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In 1998, we invested in the Mexican avocado market by building a packinghouse in Uruapan,
Mexico. We believe that our continued success in marketing Mexican avocados is largely dependent
upon securing a reliable, high-quality supply of avocados at reasonable prices. The Mexican
avocado harvest is both complimentary and competitive with the California market, as the Mexican
harvest typically runs from September to June. As a result, it is common for Mexican growers to
monitor the supply of avocados for export to the United States in order to obtain higher field
prices. During 2008, we packed and distributed approximately 22% of the avocados exported from
Mexico into the United States and approximately 15% of the avocados exported from Mexico to
countries other than the United States, based on our estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In recent years, the volume of avocados exported by Chilean growers to the United States has
continued to increase. Chilean growers continue to increase/monitor avocado plantings to
capitalize on returns available in the worldwide avocado markets. Sales of Chilean grown avocados
have generally been significant during our 4<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">th</SUP> and 1<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">st</SUP> fiscal quarters.
Additionally, with the Chilean harvesting season being complimentary to the California season
(August through February), Chilean avocados are able to command competitive retail pricing in the
market. During 2008, we distributed approximately 6% of the Chilean imports into the United
States, based on our estimates.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have developed a series of marketing and sales initiatives primarily aimed at our largest
customers that are designed to differentiate our products and services from those offered by our
competitors. Some of these key initiatives are as follows:
</DIV>

    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>We continue to have success with our ProRipeVIP&#153; avocado ripening program. This
proprietary program allows us to deliver avocados evenly ripened to our customers&#146;
specifications. We have invested in the Aweta AFS (acoustic firmness sensor) technology and
equipment. ProRipeVIP&#153; is the next generation of selling conditioned avocados that have
firmness determined via soundwaves. This technology is new to avocados. The most
significant and compelling reason we invested in the Aweta systems is because the acoustic
sensors measure firmness of the entire piece of fruit, as opposed to competitive mechanical
tests that use pressure and calculated averages to measure firmness. We believe that
ripened avocados help our customers address the consumers&#146; immediate needs and accelerate
the sale of avocados through their stores. We currently have three Aweta systems in use in
the United States, which, we believe, can effectively meet our customers&#146; demand for
conditioned fruit.</TD>

    <TD width="1%">&nbsp;</TD>
    <TD>We have developed various display techniques and packages that appeal to consumers and,
in particular, impulse buyers. Some of our techniques include the bagging of avocados and
the strategic display of the bags within the produce section of retail stores. Our research
has demonstrated that consumers generally purchase a larger quantity of avocados when
presented in a bag as opposed to the conventional bulk displays. We also believe that the
value proposition of avocados in a bag provides for a higher level of sales to grocery
stores.</TD>

products by providing certain sales incentives. These incentives will be offered in
conjunction with various promotional campaigns designed to advertise the products of all
parties involved. We believe these programs will help us minimize our advertising costs, as
they will be shared with other parties, while still achieving recognition in the
marketplace.</TD>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The acquisition of Maui Fresh International, Inc. expanded our perishable food products to
include various commodities, like tomatoes, mushrooms, and pineapples. We leverage our expertise
in the handling and marketing of California avocados to these perishable food products as well.
While many of these items are purchased, the majority of our sales are generated from tomatoes and
pineapples, both of which are handled on a consigned basis. Commission rates for all products
generally range from a flat commission rate per dollar sold to a fixed rate per-carton. Sales of
our diversified products do not generally experience significant fluctuations related to
seasonality.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June&nbsp;2007, we entered into a distribution agreement with Agricola Belher (Belher) of
Mexico, a well-established quality producer of fresh vegetables, primarily tomatoes, for export to
the U.S. market. Pursuant to such distribution agreement, Belher agreed, at their sole cost and
expense, to harvest, pack, export, ship, and deliver tomatoes exclusively to our Arizona facility.
In exchange, we agreed to sell and distribute such tomatoes, advance $2&nbsp;million to Belher for
operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season (subject to
limitations, as defined), and return the proceeds from such tomato sales to Belher, net of our
commission and aforementioned advances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective December&nbsp;2007, we entered into a consignment and marketing agreement with Maui
Pineapple Company, LTD. (MPC)&nbsp;to market and sell Maui Gold Pineapples throughout the continental
United States and Canada. MPC agreed, among other things, to source, pack and ship such pineapples
to an agreed port of entry. In exchange, we agreed, among other things, to be responsible for such
product upon arrival at the port, to market and sell the related product, and to develop and
implement marketing strategies aimed at building the Maui Gold brand recognition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The agreement calls for us to provide certain advances, as defined, and return the proceeds
from such pineapple sales to MPC, net of our commission, fees, and incentives, if applicable. The
term of this agreement is generally for 12&nbsp;months and automatically renews for a 12-month period,
unless terminated, as defined. Our initial agreement expired in December&nbsp;2008 and we are currently
re-negotiating such agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May&nbsp;2008, we purchased all of the outstanding shares of Hawaiian Sweet, Inc. (&#147;HS&#148;) and all
ownership interests of Hawaiian Pride, LLC (&#147;HP&#148;) from the Chairman of our Board of Directors,
Chief Executive Office and President. HS and HP engage in tropical-product packing and processing
operations in Hawaii.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Processed Products</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The processed product segment was originally conceived as a mechanism to stabilize the price
of California avocados by reducing the volume of avocados available to the marketplace. In the
1960&#146;s and early 1970&#146;s, we pioneered the process of freezing avocado pulp and developed a wide
variety of guacamole recipes to address the diverse tastes of consumers and buyers in both the
retail and food service industries. One of the key benefits of frozen products is its long
shelf-life. With the introduction of low cost processed products delivered from Mexican based
processors, however, we realigned the segment&#146;s strategy by shifting the fruit procurement and pulp
processing functions to Mexico. In 1995, we invested in a processing plant in Mexicali, Mexico to
derive the benefit of competitive avocado prices available in Mexico.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Through January&nbsp;2003, the primary function of our Mexicali processed operation was to produce
pulp for our Santa Paula plant. Our processing facility in Santa Paula, California would receive
the pulp from Mexicali, add ingredients, and package the product in various containers. The product would then be frozen for storage with shipment to warehouses and,
ultimately, to our customers. From January&nbsp;2003 to August&nbsp;2004, however, our Mexicali processed
operations became primarily focused on our individually quick frozen (IQF)&nbsp;avocado half product
line and one of our ultra high-pressure lines. Our IQF line provides food service and retail
customers with peeled avocado halves that are ripe and suitable for immediate consumption. These
halves were frozen, packaged and shipped out of Mexicali to warehouses located in the U.S., and,
ultimately, to our customers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In February&nbsp;2003, our Board of Directors approved a plan whereby the operations of our
processed products business would be relocated. The plan called for the closing of our Santa
Paula, California and Mexicali, Baja California Norte (Mexicali) processing facilities and
relocating these operations to a new facility in Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico (Uruapan). This
restructuring has provided for cost savings in the elimination of certain transportation costs,
duplicative overhead structures, and savings in the overall cost of labor and services. The
Uruapan facility commenced operations in February&nbsp;2004 and the Santa Paula and Mexicali facilities
ceased production in February&nbsp;2003 and August&nbsp;2004. Net sales of frozen products represented
approximately 64% and 63% of total processed segment sales for the years ended October&nbsp;31, 2008 and
2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During fiscal year 2002, we purchased and commissioned a 35-liter (35L) ultra high pressure
machine designed to &#147;cold pasteurize&#148; fresh guacamole. Utilizing ultra high pressure only and
without the need of any additives or preservatives, this procedure substantially destroys the cells
of any bacteria that could lead to spoilage or oxidation issues. Once the procedure is completed,
our guacamole is cased and shipped to various retail and food service customers throughout the
United States and Canada.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our 35L machine discussed above ran near capacity during fiscal year 2003 through the closure
date of Mexicali, which was August&nbsp;2004. During fiscal year 2004, we purchased and commissioned a
215-liter (215L) ultra high pressure machine in Uruapan. This machine was commissioned for
operations in July&nbsp;2004, ran at about 40% capacity during fiscal 2004, increased to approximately
60% capacity during fiscal 2005, and ran at about 80% capacity during fiscal years 2006 and 2007.
The 35L machine discussed above was ultimately traded in for credit towards another 215L machine,
which was commissioned for operation in September&nbsp;2007. As such, we currently have two 215L ultra
high pressure machines located in Uruapan and estimate we are operating at approximately 50% of the
combined machines&#146; capacities as of October&nbsp;31, 2008. We believe the additional capacity provided
by the 2<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">nd</SUP> machine is reasonable given our current sales projections and expected
growth. Net sales of our ultra high pressure products represented approximately 36% and 37% of
total processed segment sales for the years ended October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales are made principally through a commissioned nationwide broker network, which is
supported by our regional sales managers. We believe that our marketing strength is distinguished
by providing quality products, innovation, year-round product availability, strategically located
warehouses, and market relationships. During fiscal year 2008, our 5 and 25 largest customers
represented approximately 6% and 11% of our total consolidated
revenues. During fiscal year 2007, our 5 and 25&nbsp;largest
customers represented approximately 7% and 12% of our total
consolidated revenues. During fiscal years 2008,
2007 and 2006 none of our processed product customers represented more than 10% of total
consolidated revenues.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that these ultra high pressure machines will enable our company to deliver the
widest available array of prepared avocado and other products to our customers. Consequently, we
believe that we are positioned to expand our ultra high pressure product line to include more
avocado related products, high-end salsas, mangoes and other readily available fruit products.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, we make payments to our California avocado growers and other suppliers in advance
of collecting all of the related accounts receivable. We generally bridge the timing between
vendor payments and customer receipts by using operating cash flows and commercial bank borrowings.
In addition, we provide crop loans and other advances to some of our growers, which are also
funded through operating cash flows and borrowings. We generally experience larger levels of
commercial bank borrowings during the California avocado crop harvesting season.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-California sourced avocados and perishable food products often require working capital to
finance the payment of advances to suppliers and collection of accounts receivable. These working
capital needs are also financed through the use of operating cash flows and bank borrowings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to our processed products business, we require working capital to finance the

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The California State Department of Food and Agriculture oversees the packing and processing of
California avocados and conducts tests for fruit quality and packaging standards. All of our
packages are stamped with the state seal as meeting standards. Various states have instituted
regulations providing differing levels of oversight with respect to weights and measures, as well
as quality standards.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a manufacturer and marketer of processed avocado products, our operations are subject to
extensive regulation by various federal government agencies, including the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA), the USDA and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as state and local
agencies, with respect to production processes, product attributes, packaging, labeling, storage
and distribution. Under various statutes and regulations, these agencies prescribe requirements and
establish standards for safety, purity and labeling. In addition, advertising of our products is
subject to regulation by the FTC, and our operations are subject to certain health and safety
regulations, including those issued under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Our
manufacturing facilities and products are subject to periodic inspection by federal, state and
local authorities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of our agricultural and food processing activities, we are subject to numerous
environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations govern the treatment, handling,
storage and disposal of materials and waste and the remediation of contaminated properties.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our results of operations may be adversely affected by numerous factors over which we have
little or no control and that are inherent in farming, including reductions in the market prices

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The USDA has established, and continues to modify, regulations governing the importation of
avocados into the United States. Our permits that allow us to import foreign-sourced avocados into

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The FDA establishes, and continues to modify, regulations governing the production of

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are dependent on the efforts and performance of our current directors and officers. If we

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to review acquisition prospects that would complement our business. While we are
not currently a party to any agreement with respect to any acquisitions, we may acquire other
businesses in the future. Future acquisitions by us could result in accounting charges,
potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, and increased debt and contingent liabilities,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and the market price of our
common stock. Acquisitions entail numerous risks, including the assimilation of the acquired
operations, diversion of management&#146;s attention to other business concerns, risks of entering
markets in which we have limited prior experience, and the potential loss of key employees of
acquired organizations. We may be unable to successfully integrate businesses or the personnel of
any business that might be acquired in the future, and our failure to do so could have a material
adverse effect on our business and on the market price of our common stock.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We use multiple forms of transportation to bring our products to market. They include ocean,
truck, and air-cargo. Disruption to the timely supply of these services or dramatic increases in
the cost of these services for any reason including availability of fuel for such services, labor

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We lease our corporate headquarters building. Additionally, we own two packinghouses and one
distribution and ripening facility (our former processing facility) in California, lease one
facility in Arizona, lease one facility in New Jersey, operate in a distribution center in Texas,
own one processing facility and own one packinghouse in Mexico.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In March&nbsp;2005, we completed the sale of our corporate headquarters building (located in Santa
Ana, CA) for $3.4&nbsp;million. In conjunction with such sale, we relocated our corporate offices to
Santa Paula, California in March&nbsp;2005. We currently lease our corporate headquarters from
Limoneira.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our two California facilities handle avocados delivered to us by California, Mexican and
Chilean growers. The Temecula, California facility was built in 1985 and has been improved in
capacity and efficiency since then. The Santa Paula, California facility was purchased in 1955 and
has had equipment improvements substantially equivalent to our Temecula facility. We believe that
the combined annual capacity of the two packinghouses, under normal workweek operations, is
sufficient to pack the annually budgeted volume of California avocados delivered to us by our
growers.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Santa Paula, California processing facility was built in 1975 and had a major expansion in
1988. In conjunction with our restructuring plan, which was approved in February&nbsp;2003, this
facility ceased operating as a processed product avocado processing facility and now functions
primarily as a ripening, storage and shipping facility for our fresh avocado operations.
Additionally, it also serves to store and ship certain processed avocado as well. Also, effective
December&nbsp;2005, we sort and pack certain tropical commodities as well. We believe that the annual
capacity of this facility will be sufficient to pack and ripen, if necessary, the expected annual
volume of avocados and specialty commodities delivered to us.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our leased Nogales, Arizona facility primarily sorts, packs, ripens, and ships, tomatoes,
avocados, and other tropical commodities as well. We believe that the annual capacity of this
facility will be sufficient to handle our budgeted annual production needs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our leased Swedesboro, New Jersey facility primarily sorts, packs, ripens, and ships avocados.
Additionally, it also serves to store and ship certain tropical commodities as well. We believe
that the annual capacity of this facility will be sufficient to handle our budgeted annual
production needs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our distribution center located in San Antonio, Texas is neither leased nor owned, but rather
operates pursuant to a usage agreement whereby we pay handling and distribution fees. This
facility primarily ripens, sorts, packs and ships fresh avocados under our supervision. Effective
2<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">nd</SUP> quarter of fiscal 2009, we expect to cease operating in such facility and transfer
our operations to our newly leased facility located in Garland, Texas. See Note 8 to our
consolidated financial statements for further discussion. We believe that the annual capacity of
this new facility will be sufficient to handle our budgeted annual production needs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our owned processing facility in Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico was constructed pursuant to our
restructuring plan approved in February&nbsp;2003. This facility commenced operations in February&nbsp;2004.
We believe that the annual capacity of this facility will be sufficient to process our budgeted
annual production needs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During fiscal 2008, we purchased our previously leased fresh avocado packinghouse located in
Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico for $4.0&nbsp;million, plus acquisition costs. This facility was built to
our specifications. We believe that the annual capacity of this facility will be sufficient to
process our budgeted annual production needs.

statements and notes thereto that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion and

Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as
a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those presented under &#147;Risks related to
our business&#148; included in Item&nbsp;1A and elsewhere in this Annual Report.</I>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Overview</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are a leader in the distribution of avocados, prepared avocado products, and other
perishable food products throughout the United States and elsewhere in the world. Our history and
expertise in handling California grown avocados has allowed us to develop a reputation of
delivering quality products, at competitive prices, while providing competitive returns to our
growers. This reputation has enabled us to expand our product offerings to include avocados
sourced on an international basis, prepared avocado products, and other perishable foods. We
report our operations in two different business segments: (1)&nbsp;fresh products and (2)&nbsp;processed
products. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion. We report
our financial results on a November 1 to October&nbsp;31 fiscal year basis to coincide with the
California avocado harvest season.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On October&nbsp;9, 2001, we completed a series of transactions whereby common and preferred
shareholders of Calavo Growers of California, an agricultural marketing cooperative association,
exchanged all of their outstanding shares for shares of our common stock. Concurrently with this
transaction, the Cooperative was merged into us with Calavo emerging as the surviving entity.
These transactions had the effect of converting the legal structure of the business from a
non-profit cooperative to a for-profit corporation. The merger and the conversion were approved on
an overwhelming basis by both the Cooperative&#146;s shareholders and our board of directors. Prior to
the merger, the Cooperative reported results of operations as constituting either member (the
packing and distribution of avocados procured from either members or associate members) or
non-member business (non-member business included both the processed product business and the
sourcing and distribution of all crops that were not procured from the Cooperative&#146;s members).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Fresh Products business grades, sizes, packs, cools, and ripens (if desired) avocados for
delivery to our customers. We presently operate three packinghouses in Southern California. These
packinghouses handled approximately 28% of the California avocado crop during the 2008 fiscal year,
based on data obtained from the California Avocado Commission. Our operating results and the
returns we pay our growers are highly dependent on the volume of avocados delivered to our
packinghouses, as a significant portion of our costs are fixed. Our strategy calls for continued
efforts to retain and recruit growers that meet our business model.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, our Fresh products business also procures avocados grown in Mexico and Chile, as
well as other various commodities, including tomatoes, papayas, mushrooms, and pineapples. We
operate a packinghouse in Mexico that, together with certain co-packers that we frequently purchase
fruit from, handled approximately 22% of the Mexican avocado crop bound for the United States
market and approximately 15% of the avocados exported from Mexico to countries other than the
United States during the 2007-2008 Mexican season, based on our estimates. Additionally, during
the 2007-2008 Chilean avocado season, we handled approximately 6% of the Chilean avocado crop,
based on our estimates. Our strategy is to increase our market share of currently sourced avocados
to all accepted marketplaces. We believe our diversified avocado sources provides a level of
supply stability that may, over time, help solidify the demand for avocados among consumers in the
United States and elsewhere in the world. We believe our efforts in distributing our other various
commodities, such as those shown above, complement our offerings of avocados. From time to time,
we continue to explore distribution of other crops that provide reasonable returns to the business.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our processed products business procures avocados, processes avocados into a wide variety of
guacamole products, and distributes the processed product to our customers. Customers include both
food service industry and retail businesses and our products primarily include both frozen and
&#147;cold pasteurized&#148; fresh guacamole. &#147;Cold pasteurized&#148; fresh guacamole refers to fresh guacamole
product that has been treated by one of our ultra high pressure machines. We currently have two
215-liter ultra high pressure machines located in Uruapan, Michoac&#225;n, Mexico (Uruapan). These
machines utilize ultra high pressure only (i.e. without additives or preservatives) and destroy the
cells of any bacteria that could lead to spoilage or oxidation issues.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the long shelf-life of our frozen processed products and the purity of our ultra high
pressure guacamole, we believe that we are well positioned to address the diverse taste and needs
of today&#146;s customers. We believe our ultra high pressure machines will enable our company to
deliver the widest available array of prepared avocado products to our customers. We also believe
that we are positioned to expand our ultra high pressure product line to include more avocado
related products, high-end salsas, mangoes and other readily available fruit products. We continue
to seek to expand our relationships with major food service companies and develop alliances that
will allow our products to reach a larger percentage of the marketplace.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales of frozen products represented approximately 64% and 63% of total processed segment
sales for the years ended October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007. Net sales of our ultra high pressure products
represented approximately 36 % and 37% of total processed segment sales for the years ended October
31, 2008 and 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Fresh Products business is highly seasonal and is characterized by crop volume and price
changes. Furthermore, the operating results of all of our businesses, including our processed
products business, have been, and will continue to be, affected by substantial quarterly and annual
fluctuations and market downturns due to a number of factors, such as pests and disease, weather
patterns, changes in demand by consumers, the timing of the receipt, reduction, or cancellation of
significant customer orders, the gain or loss of significant customers, market acceptance of our
products, our ability to develop, introduce, and market new products on a timely basis,
availability and cost of avocados and supplies from growers and vendors, new product introductions
by our competitors, change in the mix of avocados and processed products we sell, and general
economic conditions. We believe, however, that we are currently positioned to address these risks
and deliver favorable operating results for the foreseeable future.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective July&nbsp;2008, we purchased our previously leased fresh avocado packinghouse located in
Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico for $4.0&nbsp;million, plus acquisition costs. We recorded approximately
$0.9&nbsp;million and $3.1&nbsp;million in land and buildings and improvements related to this transaction.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April&nbsp;2008, we entered into a capital lease for various fixed assets related to our
Swedesboro, New Jersey facility. Such fixed assets are included in buildings and improvements and

$2.1&nbsp;million, $2.0&nbsp;million and $1.9&nbsp;million for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, of which $0.1

totaling approximately $2.0&nbsp;million and $4.5&nbsp;million from Hacienda related to the amount of income

Based primarily on discussions with legal counsel and the evaluation of our claim, we maintain our
belief that the Hacienda&#146;s position has no merit and that we will prevail. Accordingly, no amounts

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Calavo and Lecil E. Cole, Suzanne Cole-Savard, Guy Cole, Eric Weinert, and Lecil E. Cole and
Mary Jeanette Cole, as trustees of the Lecil E. and Mary Jeanette Cole Revocable Trust dated
October&nbsp;19, 1993 (the &#147;Cole Trust&#148;) (collectively, the &#147;Sellers&#148;), have entered into an Acquisition
Agreement, dated May&nbsp;19, 2008 (the &#147;Acquisition Agreement&#148;), which sets forth the terms and
conditions pursuant to which Calavo purchased all of the outstanding shares of Hawaiian Sweet, Inc.
(&#147;HS&#148;) and all ownership interests of Hawaiian Pride, LLC (&#147;HP&#148;). HS and HP engage in
tropical-product packing and processing operations in Hawaii. The Acquisition Agreement provides,
among other things, that as a result of the Acquisition Agreement, Calavo shall make an initial
purchase price payment in the aggregate amount of $3,500,000 for both entities. Calavo made the
initial payment on May&nbsp;20, 2008. Calavo shall also make two additional annual payments, ranging
from $2,500,000 to $4,500,000, based on certain operating results (the &#147;Earn-Out Payment(s)&#148;), as
defined. Mr.&nbsp;Cole is President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of
Calavo. Pursuant to SFAS 141, <I>Business Combinations</I>, we
recorded approximately $7.1&nbsp;million as a
liability related to deferred and contingent consideration to the Sellers, of which $3.6&nbsp;million
was recorded in accrued expenses, $3.5&nbsp;million is recorded in long-term obligations, less current
portion, and $0.6&nbsp;million as deferred tax liabilities. Total
liabilities recorded as a result of the acquisition was
$7.7&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The first Earn-Out Payment to be made by Calavo will be adjusted if the aggregate working
capital (&#147;WC&#148;) of HS and HP does not equal $700,000 as of the closing date. In the event that WC
is less than $700,000, Calavo shall reduce its first Earn-Out payment by an amount equal to the
difference between $700,000 and the closing date aggregate working capital of HS and HP. In the
event that WC is greater than $700,000, Calavo shall increase its first Earn-Out payment by an
amount equal to the difference between $700,000 and the closing date aggregate working capital of
HS and HP.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the transaction closed on May&nbsp;30, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Concurrently with the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, Calavo and the Cole Trust have
entered into an Agreement and Escrow Instructions for Purchase and Sale of Real Property (the &#147;Real
Estate Contract&#148;), dated the same date as the acquisition agreement, pursuant to which Calavo
purchased from the Cole Trust approximately 727 acres of agricultural land located in Pahoa, Hawaii
for a purchase price of $1,500,000, which Calavo delivered on May&nbsp;19, 2008. The Real Estate
Contract also closed on May&nbsp;30, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial
statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, we re-evaluate all of our estimates,
including those related to the areas of customer and grower receivables, inventories, useful lives
of property, plant and equipment, promotional allowances, income taxes,

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">retirement benefits, and commitments and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may
materially differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions as additional
information becomes available in future periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Management has discussed the development and selection of critical accounting estimates with
the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed our disclosure
relating to critical accounting estimates in this Annual Report.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the following are the more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Promotional allowances</I><B><I>. </I></B>We provide for promotional allowances at the time of sale, based on
our historical experience. Our estimates are generally based on evaluating the relationship
between promotional allowances and gross sales. The derived percentage is then applied to the
current period&#146;s sales revenues in order to arrive at the appropriate debit to sales allowances for
the period. The offsetting credit is made to accrued liabilities. When certain amounts of
specific customer accounts are subsequently identified as promotional, they are written off against
this allowance. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and such differences are recognized
as an adjustment to net sales in the period they are identified. A 1% change in the derived
percentage would impact results of operations by approximately $0.1&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Income Taxes</I><B><I>. </I></B>We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting
for Income Taxes</I>. This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets
for the future consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial
statements or tax returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the
event the future consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of our
assets and liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No.&nbsp;109 requires an evaluation of the
probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation
allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In November&nbsp;2008, we adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#151; an interpretation of FASB
Statement No.&nbsp;109 </I>(FIN 48), which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN
48, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on 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 should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater
than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the
calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of
complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that
the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed and we will
recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer
applies. Conversely, we record additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a
recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation,
judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of
changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings.
Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from
management&#146;s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or
potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities,
classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest
and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48
did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. See Note 10.
Prior to fiscal 2008, we recorded estimated income tax liabilities to the extent they were probable
and could be reasonably estimated.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Goodwill and acquired intangible assets</I>. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis
and between annual tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable, in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets</I>. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;142, goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an
operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Goodwill impairment testing is a
two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential
impairment, compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including
goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the
reporting unit is considered not impaired, and the second step of the impairment test would be
unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount
of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, used to measure the
amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the
carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of reporting unit goodwill exceeds the
implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to
that excess. Goodwill impairment testing requires significant judgment and management estimates,
including, but not limited to, the determination of (i)&nbsp;the number of reporting units, (ii)&nbsp;the
goodwill and other assets and liabilities to be allocated to the reporting units and (iii)&nbsp;the fair
values of the reporting units. The estimates and assumptions described above, along with other
factors such as discount rates, will significantly affect the outcome of the impairment tests and
the amounts of any resulting impairment losses. We performed our annual assessment of goodwill and
determined that no impairment existed as of October&nbsp;31, 2008.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that the fundamentals for our products continue to be favorable. Firstly,
Americans are eating more avocados. Over the last 10&nbsp;years, United States (U.S.) consumption of
avocados has expanded at a 9% compound annual growth rate and we do not anticipate this growth
significantly changing. We believe that the healthy eating trend that has been developing in the
United States contributes to such growth, as avocados, which are cholesterol and sodium free, are
dense in fiber, vitamin B6, antioxidants, potassium, folate, and contain unsaturated fat, which
help lower cholesterol. Also, a growing number of research studies seem to suggest that
phytonutrients, which avocados are rich in, help fight chronic illnesses, such as heart disease and
cancer.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally, we believe that the demographic changes in the U.S. will greatly impact the
consumption of avocados and avocado-based products. The Hispanic community currently accounts for
approximately 15% of the U.S. population, and the total number of Hispanics is estimated to triple
by the year 2050. Avocados are considered a staple item purchased by Hispanic consumers, as the
per-capita avocado consumption in Mexico is estimated to be more than seven-fold that of the U.S.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We anticipate avocado products will further penetrate the United States marketplace driven by
growth in the Hispanic community and general acceptance in American cuisine. As the largest
marketer of avocado products in the United States, we believe that we are well positioned to
leverage this trend and to grow all segments of our business. Additionally, we also believe that
avocados and avocado based products will further penetrate other marketplaces that we currently
operate in, as interest in avocados continues to expand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In October&nbsp;2002, the USDA announced the creation of a Hass Avocado Board to promote the sale
of Hass variety avocados in the U.S. marketplace. This board provides a basis for a unified
funding of promotional activities based on an assessment on all avocados sold in the U.S.
marketplace, including imported and California grown fruit. The California Avocado Commission,
which receives its funding from California avocado growers, has historically shouldered the
promotional and advertising costs supporting avocado sales. We believe that the incremental
funding of promotional and advertising programs in the U.S. will, in the long term, positively
impact average selling prices and will favorably impact our California avocado and international
avocado businesses. During fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, on behalf of avocado growers, we remitted
approximately $2.2&nbsp;million, $1.7&nbsp;million and $1.7&nbsp;million to the California

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales for the year ended October&nbsp;31, 2008, when compared to 2007, increased by
approximately $58.5&nbsp;million, or 19.3%, principally as a result of an increase in both our fresh
products and processed products segments. The increase in sales related to our fresh products
segment was primarily driven by an increase in sales related to Mexico and California sourced
avocados, tomatoes, and pineapples. Such sales increases were partially offset, however, by a
decrease in sales related to Chilean sourced avocados. The increase related to our processed
products segment was primarily related to an increase in our average selling price per pound.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fiscal 2008 vs. Fiscal 2007:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales delivered by the business increased by approximately $54.3&nbsp;million, or 20.8%, from
fiscal 2007 to 2008. This increase was primarily related to an increase in sales related to Mexico
and California sourced avocados, tomatoes, and pineapples. Such increases were partially offset,
however, by a decrease in Chilean avocado sales.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of Mexican sourced avocados increased $23.5&nbsp;million, or 16.9%, for fiscal year 2008,
when compared to the same prior year period. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the
average per carton selling price of Mexican avocados. The average per carton selling price of
Mexican avocados increased approximately 19.5% when compared to the same prior year period. We
attribute some of this increase to the small California avocado crop in the marketplace during
fiscal 2008, as well as the premium pricing related to our ProRipeVIP<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">TM </SUP>avocado ripening
program. The volume of Mexican fruit sold decreased by approximately 2.6&nbsp;million pounds, or 2.2%,
when compared to the same prior year period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of pineapples and tomatoes increased $16.4&nbsp;million and $10.8&nbsp;million from fiscal 2007 to
2008. The volume of pineapples and tomatoes increased by approximately 1.6&nbsp;million cartons, or
100.0% and 0.7&nbsp;million cartons, or 59.1%, when compared to the same prior year period. These
increases were primarily related to our agreements with Agricola Belher of Mexico (for the
tomatoes) and our consignment and marketing agreement with Maui Pineapple Company, LTD (for the
pineapples). See Notes 15 and 16 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion
of these agreements. Additionally, the average selling price, on a per carton basis, of tomatoes
increased approximately 39.8% when compared to the same prior year period. We attribute some of
this increase to the quality of our tomatoes in the U.S. marketplace.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of Chilean sourced avocados decreased $4.9&nbsp;million for fiscal year 2008, when compared
to the same prior year period. The volume of Chilean fruit sold decreased by approximately 9.4
million pounds, or 55.9%, when compared to the same prior year period. This decrease was primarily
related to the smaller size of the Chilean avocado crop. Such decreased volume was partially
offset, however, by an increase in our average selling prices, on a per carton basis, which
experienced an increase of 39.2% for fiscal 2008, when compared to the same prior period. We
attribute some of these price fluctuations to the smaller Chilean and California avocado crops, as
well as the delivery of such crops, in the marketplace during fiscal 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mexican and Chilean grown avocados are primarily sold in the U.S., Japanese, and/or European
marketplace. We anticipate that the combined sales of Mexican and Chilean grown avocados will
increase in fiscal 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of California sourced avocados increased $8.3&nbsp;million for fiscal 2008, when compared to
the same prior period. This increase was primarily related to an increase in our average selling
prices of 6.1%. The pounds sold of California sourced avocados remained consistent with the same
prior year period. Our market share of shipped California avocados decreased to 27.7% for fiscal
2008, when compared to a 33.7% market share for the same prior year period. Based on estimates
generated from the California Avocado Commission, we expect the California avocado crop for the
2008/2009 season to be smaller than the 2007/2008 crop.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For fiscal year 2008, average selling prices, on a per carton basis, for California avocados
were 6.1% higher when compared to the same prior year period. We attribute some of this increase
to the small California avocado crop for the 2007/2008 season. For fiscal year 2009, we believe
that the demand for California avocados will remain strong in the U.S. marketplace, and, as a
result, such is expected to have a positive impact on sales prices.

fiscal 2006 to 2007. This increase was primarily related to an increase in Mexican and Chilean
avocado sales and an increase in tomato sales, partially offset by a decrease in California avocado
sales.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of Mexican sourced avocados increased $73.2&nbsp;million, or 138.3%, for fiscal year 2007,
when compared to the same prior year period. The volume of Mexican fruit sold increased by
approximately 61.1&nbsp;million pounds, or 106.2%, when compared to the same prior year period. This

sold, partially offset by an increase in our average selling prices. The decrease in pounds was
primarily related to a cyclically low California avocado crop for the 2006/2007 season, coupled
with the freeze experienced during our first fiscal quarter. Our market share of shipped
California avocados decreased to 33.7% for fiscal 2007, when compared to a 35.6% market share for

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fiscal 2008 vs. Fiscal 2007:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales increased by approximately $4.1&nbsp;million, or 10.0% for fiscal 2008, when compared to
the same prior period. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to an increase in the
net selling price totaling $0.22 per product pound sold, or 12.0%, partially offset by a decrease
of 0.3&nbsp;million pounds of product sold, or 1.2%. The increase in our net average selling price
primarily relates to a change in our product mix. During fiscal year 2008, the decrease in pounds
sold primarily relates to a decrease in the sale of both our frozen and high-pressure guacamole
products, which decreased approximately 0.9% and 1.9% when compared to the same prior year period.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We currently have two 215L ultra high pressure machines located in Uruapan and estimate we are
operating at approximately 50% of the combined machines&#146; capacities as of October&nbsp;31, 2008. We
believe the additional capacity provided by the 2<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">nd</SUP> machine is reasonable given our
current sales projections and expected growth. Net sales of our ultra high pressure products
represented approximately 36% and 37% of total processed segment sales for the years ended October
31, 2008 and 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that these ultra high pressure machines will enable our company to deliver the
widest available array of prepared avocado and other products to our customers. Consequently, we
believe that we are positioned to expand our ultra high pressure product line to include more
avocado related products, high-end salsas, mangoes and other readily available fruit products. We
anticipate a marginal increase in sales related to our processed products.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fiscal 2007 vs. Fiscal 2006:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Net sales increased by approximately $4.8&nbsp;million, or 13.1% for fiscal 2007, when compared to
the same prior period. The increase in net sales is primarily attributable to an increase of 2.1
million pounds of product sold, or 10.0%, as well as an increase in the net selling price totaling
$0.05 per product pound sold, or 2.8%. During fiscal year 2007, the increase in pounds sold
primarily relates to an increase in the sale of both our frozen and high-pressure guacamole
products, which increased approximately 12.0% and 6.5% when compared to the same prior year period.
The increase in our net average selling price primarily relates to a change in our product mix.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our cost of sales consists predominantly of fruit costs, packing materials, freight and
handling, labor and overhead (including depreciation) associated with preparing food products, and
other direct expenses pertaining to products sold. Consolidated gross margin, as a percent of
sales, decreased 1.3% for fiscal year 2008 when compared to fiscal year 2007. This decrease was
principally attributable to decreases in both our fresh and processed product segments for fiscal
year 2008. Consolidated gross margin, as a percent of sales, remained consistent for fiscal year
2007 when compared to fiscal year 2006. This consistency was principally attributable to decreased
profitability in our processed product segment, substantially offset by an increase in
profitability from our fresh products segment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margins and gross profit percentages related to California avocados are largely
dependent on production yields achieved at our packinghouses, current market prices of avocados,
our packing and marketing fee, and the volume of avocados packed. Our gross margin percentage
increased during fiscal year 2008 when compared to the same prior year period. Such increase is
primarily related to a 1.2% increase in pounds of avocados sold, an increase in our packing and
marketing fee, and a 6.1% increase in the average sales price of California avocados. Combined,
these had the effect of decreasing our per pound costs, which, as a result, positively impacted
gross margins.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The decrease in our gross margin percentage related to California avocados during fiscal year
2007, as compared to fiscal 2006, was primarily related to a significant decrease in pounds of
fruit sold, as well as an increase in the market price of avocados. During fiscal year 2007, when
compared to fiscal year 2006, we experienced a 58.3% decrease in pounds of avocados sold.
Additionally, we also experienced a 56.2% increase in the average sales price of California
avocados. Combined, these had the effect of increasing our per pound costs, which, as a result,
negatively impacted gross margins.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The gross margin and gross profit percentage for consignment sales, including Chilean
avocados, pineapples, and tomatoes, are dependent on the volume of fruit we handle, the average
selling prices, and the competitiveness of the returns that we provide to third-party packers. The
gross margin we earn is generally based on a commission agreed to with each party, which varies
from a fixed rate per box to a percent of the overall selling price. Although we generally do not
take legal title to such avocados and perishable products, we do assume responsibilities
(principally assuming credit risk, inventory loss and delivery risk, and limited pricing risk) that
are consistent with acting as a principal in the transaction. Accordingly, our results of
operations include sales and cost of sales from the sale of avocados and perishable products
procured under consignment arrangements. For fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, we generated gross
margins of $3.5&nbsp;million, $1.7&nbsp;million, and $1.2&nbsp;million from the sale of fresh produce products
that were packed by third parties.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our business with Mexican growers differs in that we operate a packinghouse in Mexico and
purchase avocados directly from the field. Alternatively, we may also purchase Mexican avocados
directly from co-packers located in Mexico as well. In either case, the gross margin and gross
profit percentages generated by our Mexican operations are significantly impacted by the volume of
avocados handled by our packinghouse and the cost of the fruit. During fiscal year 2008, our gross
margins generated from the sale of Mexican avocados decreased from approximately $14.0&nbsp;million in
fiscal year 2007 to $11.1&nbsp;million in fiscal year 2008. Such decrease was primarily related to a
2.2% decrease in the volume of Mexican avocados sold, as well as higher fruit costs. Collectively,
these items negatively affected gross margins.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During fiscal year 2007, our gross margins generated from the sale of Mexican avocados
increased from approximately $1.6&nbsp;million in fiscal year 2006 to $14.0&nbsp;million in fiscal year 2007.
Such increase was primarily related to a 106.2% increase in the volume of Mexican avocados sold,
as well as higher sales prices of Mexican fruit. Collectively, these items positively affected
gross margins.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gross margins and gross profit percentages for our processed products business are largely
dependent on the pricing of our final product and the cost of avocados used in preparing guacamole.
During fiscal year 2008, the processed products gross profit percentages marginally decreased,
primarily as a result of higher fruit costs, as well as increased packaging costs, both of which
had the effect of increasing our per pound costs. In addition, there was a marginal decrease in
total pounds produced, which had the effect of increasing our per pound costs. These increases
were partially offset, however, by a decrease in the production and sale of less profitable items.
We anticipate that the gross profit percentage for our processed product segment will continue to
experience fluctuations during the next fiscal year primarily due to the uncertainty of the cost of
fruit that will be used in the production process.

2007. This increase was primarily related to higher corporate costs, including, but not limited

increase in broker sales commissions (totaling approximately $0.4&nbsp;million), and an increase in

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Liquidity and Capital Resources</B></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Operating activities for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006 provided cash flows of $5.3&nbsp;million, $4.6
million, and $7.8&nbsp;million. Fiscal year 2008 operating cash flows reflect our net income of $7.7
million, net noncash charges (depreciation and amortization, income from Maui Fresh, LLC, loss on
disposal of fixed assets, provision for losses on accounts receivable, interest on deferred
compensation, deferred income taxes, and stock compensation expense) of $3.5&nbsp;million and a net
decrease from changes in the non-cash components of our working capital accounts of approximately
$5.9&nbsp;million.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fiscal year 2008 decreases in operating cash flows, caused by working capital changes, include
an increase in inventory of $5.6<U> </U>million, an increase in accounts receivable of $1.4
million, an increase in advances to suppliers of $0.6&nbsp;million, and an increase in prepaid expenses
and other current assets of $0.1&nbsp;million, partially offset by an increase in trade accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $1.2&nbsp;million, a decrease in income tax receivable of $0.5&nbsp;million and a
decrease in other assets totaling $0.1&nbsp;million.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The increase in our inventory balance is primarily related to a significant increase in Mexico
inventory on hand at October&nbsp;31, 2008, as compared to the same prior year period. Additionally, we
also experienced a significant increase in finished processed products inventory based primarily on
production exceeding sales during fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2007.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The increase in our accounts receivable balance as of October&nbsp;31, 2008, when compared to
October&nbsp;31, 2007, primarily reflects significantly higher Mexican avocado sales recorded in the
month of October&nbsp;2008, as compared to October&nbsp;2007. This increase is consistent with the expected
larger Mexican avocado crop for fiscal 2008, as compared to fiscal 2007. The increase in our
advances to suppliers as of October&nbsp;31, 2008, as compared to October&nbsp;31, 2007, primarily reflects
additional advances made to certain growers.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash used in investing activities was $7.5&nbsp;million, $8.0&nbsp;million, and $4.7&nbsp;million for fiscal
years 2008, 2007, and 2006. Fiscal year 2008 cash flows used in investing activities includes
capital expenditures of $2.7&nbsp;million and the acquisition of Hawaiian Sweet and Pride, net of cash
acquired of $5.0&nbsp;million, and a loan to Agricola Belher of $0.8&nbsp;million. Such payments were
partially offset by the collection of $1.0&nbsp;million Agricola Belher, pursuant to our tomato
agreements. See Note 15 and Note 17 to our consolidated financial statements.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash provided by financing activities was $2.7&nbsp;million and $4.2&nbsp;million for fiscal years 2008
and 2007, while cash used in financing activities was $4.2&nbsp;million for fiscal year 2006. Cash
provided during fiscal year 2008 primarily includes proceeds from our non-collateralized, revolving
credit facilities totaling $8.5&nbsp;million, and $0.6&nbsp;million related to stock option exercises. These
cash receipts were partially offset, however, by the payment of a dividend totaling $5.0&nbsp;million
and payments related to our long-term obligations of $1.4&nbsp;million.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our principal sources of liquidity are our existing cash reserves, cash generated from
operations and amounts available for borrowing under our existing credit facilities. Cash and cash
equivalents as of October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 totaled $1.5&nbsp;million and $1.0&nbsp;million. Our working
capital at October&nbsp;31, 2008 was $15.4&nbsp;million, compared to $16.3&nbsp;million at October&nbsp;31, 2007.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that cash flows from operations and available credit facilities will be sufficient
to satisfy our future capital expenditures, grower recruitment efforts, working capital and other
financing requirements. We will continue to evaluate grower recruitment opportunities and
exclusivity arrangements with food service companies to fuel growth in each of our business
segments. In May&nbsp;2008 and October&nbsp;2007, we renewed and/or extended our non-collateralized,
revolving credit facilities with Farm Credit West, PCA and Bank of America, N.A. These two credit
facilities expire in February&nbsp;2012 and July&nbsp;2009. Under the terms of these agreements, we are
advanced funds for both working capital and long-term productive asset purchases. Total credit
available under these combined borrowing agreements was $40&nbsp;million, with a weighted-average
interest rate of 4.8% at October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 5.8% at October 31, 2007. Under these credit facilities, we had $23.1
million and $10.6&nbsp;million outstanding as October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, of which $13.0&nbsp;million and $4.0
million was classified as a long-term liability as October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007. These credit
facilities contain various financial covenants, the most significant relating to working capital,
tangible net worth (as defined), and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization
(EBITDA) (as defined). We were in compliance with all such covenants at October&nbsp;31, 2008.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The California avocado industry is subject to a state marketing order whereby handlers are
required to collect assessments from the growers and remit such assessments to the California
Avocado Commission (CAC). The assessments are primarily for advertising and promotions. The
amount of the assessment is based on the dollars paid to the growers for their fruit, and, as a
result, is not determinable until the value of the payments to the growers has been calculated.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With similar precision, amounts remitted to the Hass Avocado Board (HAB)&nbsp;in connection with
their assessment program (see Item&nbsp;7 for further discussion), are likewise not determinable until
the fruit is actually delivered to us. HAB assessments are primarily used to fund marketing and
promotion efforts.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We were not a party to any derivative instruments during the fiscal year. It is currently our
intent not to use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Additionally, we do
not use any hedging or forward contracts to offset market volatility.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
Mexican-based operations transact business in both Mexican pesos and
U.S.&nbsp;dollars. Funds are transferred by our
corporate office to Mexico on a weekly basis to satisfy domestic cash needs. Consequently, the spot
rate for the Mexican peso has a moderate impact on our operating results. However, we do not
believe that this impact is sufficient to warrant the use of derivative instruments to hedge the
fluctuation in the Mexican peso. Total foreign currency gains for
fiscal 2008 and 2007, net of losses, was
approximately $0.5&nbsp;million and $0.1&nbsp;million, while fiscal
year 2006 net foreign currency loss did
not exceed $0.1&nbsp;million.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Business</I></B>

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Calavo Growers, Inc. (Calavo, the Company, we, us or our) procures and markets avocados and
other perishable commodities and prepares and distributes processed avocado products. Our
expertise in marketing and distributing avocados, processed avocados, and other perishable foods
allows us to deliver a wide array of fresh and processed food products to food distributors,
produce wholesalers, supermarkets, and restaurants on a worldwide basis. We procure avocados
principally from California, Mexico, and Chile. Through our operating facilities in southern
California, Texas, New Jersey, Arizona, and Mexico, we sort, pack, and/or ripen avocados for
distribution both domestically and internationally. Additionally, we also distribute other
perishable foods, such as tomatoes, pineapples and Hawaiian grown papayas, and prepare processed
avocado products. We report our operations in two different business segments: (1)&nbsp;fresh products
and (2)&nbsp;processed products.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Calavo Growers, Inc. and our
wholly owned subsidiaries, Calavo Foods, Inc., Calavo de Mexico S.A. de C.V., Calavo Foods de
Mexico S.A. de C.V., Maui Fresh International, Inc. (Maui), Hawaiian
Sweet, Inc. (&#147;HS&#148;) and Hawaiian Pride, LLC (&#147;HP&#148;). Effective November&nbsp;2007, we
dissolved our Calavo Foods, Inc. subsidiary. Such dissolution did not have any impact on our
financial position or our results of operations. All intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Cash and Cash Equivalents</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We consider all highly liquid financial instruments purchased with an original maturity date
of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents
approximate their fair values.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Inventories</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a weighted-average
basis, which approximates the first-in, first-out method; market is based upon estimated
replacement costs. Costs included in inventory primarily include the following: fruit, picking
and hauling, overhead, labor, materials and freight.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Property, Plant, and Equipment</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful
lives using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and amortized over
the lesser of their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, using the straight-line
method. Useful lives are as follows: buildings and improvements &#151; 7 to 50&nbsp;years; leasehold
improvements &#151; the lesser of the term of the lease or 7&nbsp;years; equipment &#151; 7 to 25&nbsp;years;
information systems hardware and software &#151; 3 to 15&nbsp;years. Significant repairs and maintenance
that increase the value or extend the useful life of our fixed asset are capitalized. Replaced
fixed assets are written off. Ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to expense.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We capitalize software development costs for internal use in accordance with Statement of
Position 98-1, <I>Accounting for Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use</I>
(SOP 98-1). Capitalization of software development costs begins in the application development
stage and ends when the asset is placed into service. We amortize such costs using the
straight-line basis over estimated useful lives. The net book value of capitalized computer
software costs was $0.3&nbsp;million and $0.2&nbsp;million as of October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007 and the related
depreciation expense was $0.1&nbsp;million for the fiscal years ended October&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)&nbsp;No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets</I>. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;142, goodwill is tested at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an
operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Goodwill impairment testing is a
two-step process. The first step

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><!-- Folio -->34<!-- /Folio -->

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair
value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a
reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not
impaired, and the second step of the impairment test would be unnecessary. If the carrying amount
of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be
performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill
impairment test, used to measure the amount of impairment loss, compares the implied fair value of
reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of
reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss must be
recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Goodwill impairment testing requires significant
judgment and management estimates, including, but not limited to, the determination of (i)&nbsp;the
number of reporting units, (ii)&nbsp;the goodwill and other assets and liabilities to be allocated to
the reporting units and (iii)&nbsp;the fair values of the reporting units. The estimates and
assumptions described above, along with other factors such as discount rates, will significantly
affect the outcome of the impairment tests and the amounts of any resulting impairment losses. We
performed our annual assessment of goodwill and determined that no impairment existed as of October
31, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At October&nbsp;31, 2008, other assets in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements included the following intangible assets: customer-list, trade name and non-competition
agreements of $1.9&nbsp;million (accumulated amortization of $0.7&nbsp;million) and brand name intangibles of
$0.3&nbsp;million. The customer-list, trade name and non-competition agreements are being amortized
over periods up to ten years. The intangible asset related to the brand name currently has an
indefinite life and, as a result, is not currently subject to amortization. We recorded
amortization expense of approximately $247,000 and $119,000 for fiscal years 2008 and 2007, with
$196,000, $166,000, 157,000, $143,000, and $143,000 of amortization expense expected for fiscal
years 2009 through 2013. The remainder of approximately $405,000 will be amortized over fiscal
years 2014 through 2018.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Long-lived Assets</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Long-lived assets, including fixed assets and intangible assets (other than goodwill), are
continually monitored and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be recoverable. The determination of
recoverability is based on an estimate of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use
of an asset and its eventual disposition. The estimate of undiscounted cash flows is based upon,
among other things, certain assumptions about future operating performance, growth rates and other
factors. Estimates of undiscounted cash flows may differ from actual cash flows due to, among
other things, technological changes, economic conditions, changes to the business model or changes
in operating performance. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less
then the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recognized, measured as the amount by which the
carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. We have evaluated our long-lived assets and
determined that no impairment existed as of October&nbsp;31, 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Investments</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We account for non-marketable investments using the equity method of accounting if the
investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence over, but not control, an
investee. Significant influence generally exists when we have an ownership interest representing
between 20% and 50% of the voting stock of the investee. Under the equity method of accounting,
investments are stated at initial cost and are adjusted for subsequent additional investments and
our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. Additional investments by other
parties in the investee, if any, will result in a reduction in our ownership interest, and the
resulting gain or loss will be recorded in our consolidated statements of income.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In August&nbsp;2006, we entered into a joint venture agreement with San Rafael Distributing (SRD)
for the purpose of the wholesale marketing, sale and distribution of fresh produce from the
existing location of SRD at the Los Angeles Wholesale Produce Market (Terminal Market), located in
Los Angeles, California. Such joint venture operates under the name of Maui Fresh International,
LLC (Maui Fresh LLC) and commenced operations in August&nbsp;2006. SRD and Calavo each have an equal
one-half ownership interest in Maui Fresh, but SRD has overall management responsibility for the
operations of Maui Fresh at the Terminal Market. We use the equity method to account for this
investment.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Commencing on the first anniversary of this agreement and continuing thereafter during the
term of the agreement, Calavo has the unconditional right, but not the obligation, to purchase the
one-half interest in Maui Fresh owned by SRD at a purchase price to be determined pursuant to the
agreement. The term of the agreement is for five years, which may be extended, or terminated
early, as defined. As of October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, we have advanced Maui Fresh approximately $0.7
million and $0.5&nbsp;million (included in prepaid expenses and other current assets) for working
capital purposes. Per the agreement, these advances were made at our own discretion and are
expected to be paid back in cash.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We account for marketable securities in accordance with provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;115, <I>Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities </I>(SFAS 115). SFAS 115 addresses the
accounting and reporting for investments in fixed maturity securities and for equity securities
with readily determinable fair values. Our marketable securities consist of our investment in
Limoneira Company (Limoneira) stock. We currently own approximately 15% of Limoneira&#146;s outstanding
common stock. These securities are carried at fair value as determined from quoted market prices.
The estimated fair value, cost, and gross unrealized gain related to such investment was $29.9
million, $23.5&nbsp;million and $6.4&nbsp;million as of October&nbsp;31, 2008. The estimated fair value, cost,
and gross unrealized gain related to such investment was $49.0&nbsp;million, $23.5&nbsp;million and $25.5
million as of October&nbsp;31, 2007.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We advance funds to third-party growers primarily in Chile and Mexico for various farming
needs. Typically, we obtain collateral (i.e. fruit, fixed assets, etc.) that approximates the
value at risk, prior to making such advances. We continuously evaluate the ability of these
growers to repay advances in order to evaluate the possible need to record an allowance. No such
allowance was required at October&nbsp;31, 2008, nor October&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Accrued Expenses</I></B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Included in accrued expenses at October&nbsp;31, 2008 are un-vouchered receipts and deferred
consideration (see Note 17) of approximately $1.5&nbsp;million and $3.6&nbsp;million. Included in accrued
expenses at October&nbsp;31, 2007 are un-vouchered receipts of $1.9&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when (i)&nbsp;persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii)&nbsp;delivery has occurred, (iii)&nbsp;the price is fixed or
determinable and (iv)&nbsp;collectability is reasonably assured. These terms are typically met upon
shipment of product to the customer. Service revenue, including freight, ripening, storage,
bagging and palletization charges, is recorded when services are performed and sales of the related
products are delivered.

and Handling Fees and Costs</I>, we include shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net
revenues. Amounts incurred by us for freight are included in cost of goods sold.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We provide for promotional allowances at the time of sale, based on our historical experience.
Our estimates are generally based on evaluating the relationship between promotional allowances
and gross sales. The derived percentage is then applied to the current period&#146;s sales revenues in
order to arrive at the appropriate debit to sales allowances for the period. The offsetting credit
is made to accrued expenses. When certain amounts of specific customer accounts are subsequently
identified as promotional, they are written off against this allowance. Actual amounts may differ
from these estimates and such differences are recognized as an adjustment to net sales in the
period they are identified.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We frequently enter into consignment arrangements with avocado growers and packers located
outside of the United States and growers of certain perishable products in the United States.
Although we generally do not take legal title to these avocados and perishable products, we do
assume responsibilities (principally assuming credit risk, inventory loss and delivery risk, and
limited pricing risk) that are consistent with acting as a principal in the transaction.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include sales and cost of sales from the sale of
avocados and perishable products procured under consignment arrangements. Amounts recorded for
each of the fiscal years ended October&nbsp;31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 in the financial statements pursuant
to consignment arrangements are as follows (in thousands):

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Use of Estimates</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Among the
significant estimates affecting the financial statements are those related to valuation allowances
for accounts receivable, goodwill, grower advances, inventories, long-lived assets, valuation of
and estimated useful lives of identifiable intangible assets, stock-based compensation, promotional
allowances and income taxes. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based upon
currently available information. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Income Taxes</I></B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We account for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;109, <I>Accounting for Income Taxes</I>.
This statement requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future
consequences of events that have been recognized in our consolidated financial statements or tax
returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In the event the future
consequences of differences between financial reporting bases and tax bases of our assets and
liabilities result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No.&nbsp;109 requires an evaluation of the probability
of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such asset. A valuation
allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded when it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In November&nbsp;2008, we adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No.&nbsp;48, <I>Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes &#151; an interpretation of FASB
Statement No.&nbsp;109 </I>(FIN 48), which provides a financial statement recognition threshold and
measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under FIN
48, a company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on 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 should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater
than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a multinational corporation, we are subject to taxation in many jurisdictions, and the
calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of
complex tax laws and regulations in various taxing jurisdictions. If we ultimately determine that
the payment of these liabilities will be unnecessary, the liability will be reversed and we will
recognize a tax benefit during the period in which it is determined the liability no longer
applies. Conversely, we record additional tax charges in a period in which it is determined that a
recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment is expected to be.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The application of tax laws and regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation,
judgment and uncertainty. Tax laws and regulations themselves are subject to change as a result of
changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, the evolution of regulations and court rulings.
Therefore, the actual liability for U.S. or foreign taxes may be materially different from
management&#146;s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or
potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and liabilities,
classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest
and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. The adoption of FIN 48
did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. See Note 10.
Prior to fiscal 2008, we recorded estimated income tax liabilities to the extent they were probable
and could be reasonably estimated.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period without consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options. The
basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was 14,398,000, 14,304,000, and
14,304,000 for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated
using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period after
consideration of the dilutive effect of stock options, which were 83,000, 131,000, and 50,000 for
fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006. There were no anti-dilutive options for fiscal years 2008, 2007

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We account for awards of equity instruments issued to employees pursuant to SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R),
<I>Share-Based Payment </I>(SFAS 123(R)). SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R) requires that companies account for awards of
equity instruments issued to employees under the fair value method of accounting and recognize such
amounts in their statements of operations. Under SFAS No.&nbsp;123(R), we are required to measure
compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize
compensation expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the service period that the
awards are expected to vest.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The value of each option award that contains a market condition is estimated using a
lattice-based option valuation model, while all other option awards are valued using the
Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. We primarily consider the following assumptions when
using these models: (1)&nbsp;expected volatility, (2)&nbsp;expected dividends, (3)&nbsp;expected life and (4)
risk-free interest rate. Such models also consider the intrinsic value in the estimation of fair
value of the option award. Forfeitures are estimated when recognizing compensation expense, and
the estimate of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent that
actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated
forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and
will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We measure the fair value of our stock option awards on the date of grant. The following
assumptions were used in the estimated grant date fair value calculations for stock options:

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The expected stock price volatility rates were based on the historical volatility of our
common stock. The risk free interest rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at
the time of grant for periods approximating the expected life of the option. The expected life
represents the average period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, as
calculated using the simplified method described in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#146;s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No.&nbsp;107.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Black-Scholes-Merton and lattice-based option valuation models were developed for use in
estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. Because options held by our directors and employees have characteristics
significantly different from those of traded options, in our opinion, the existing models do not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of these options.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No.&nbsp;162, <I>The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles </I>(SFAS No.&nbsp;162), which identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS No.&nbsp;162 is effective 60
days following the SEC&#146;s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU
Section&nbsp;411, <I>The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles</I>. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;162 to have an impact on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, <I>Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets </I>(FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No.&nbsp;142. This change is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a
recognized intangible asset under SFAS No.&nbsp;142 and the period of expected cash flows used to
measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No.&nbsp;141R and other generally accepted account
principles (GAAP). The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to
intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied
prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date.
FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, which will require us to adopt these
provisions in our first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
FSP 142-3 on our consolidated financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In March&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;161, <I>Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities </I>(SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires expanded disclosures regarding the location and
amount of derivative instruments in an entity&#146;s financial statements, how derivative instruments
and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and how derivative instruments and
related hedged items affect an entity&#146;s financial position, operating results and cash flows. SFAS
161 is effective for periods beginning on or after November&nbsp;15, 2008. We do not believe that the
adoption of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In December&nbsp;2007, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;160, <I>Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB 51</I>, which changes the accounting and reporting for
minority interests. Minority interests will be re-characterized as noncontrolling interests and
will be reported as a component of equity separate from the parent&#146;s equity, and purchases or sales
of equity interests that do not result in a change in control will be accounted for as equity
transactions. In addition, net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included
in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and, upon a loss of control, the
interest sold, as well as any interest retained, will be recorded at fair value with any gain or
loss recognized in earnings. We will adopt SFAS No.&nbsp;160 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2010. We are
currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;160 would have on our financial
position and results of operations.

instruments and certain other items that are not currently required to be measured at fair value.
The standard requires that unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has
been elected be reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No.&nbsp;159 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007 and we will adopt SFAS No.&nbsp;159 no later than the
first quarter of fiscal 2009. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 161 will have a significant
impact on our financial position or results of operations.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In September&nbsp;2006, the FASB issued SFAS No.&nbsp;157, <I>Fair Value Measurements</I>. SFAS No.&nbsp;157
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and
clarifies the definition of fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
No.&nbsp;157 does not require any new fair value measurements. However, the application of SFAS No.&nbsp;157
may change current practice for some entities. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. In February&nbsp;2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 157-2 (FSP FAS 157-2) <I>Effective
Date of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;157</I>, which delays the effective date of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 for non-financial
assets and non-financial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements
on a nonrecurring basis to fiscal years beginning after November&nbsp;15, 2008. These non-financial
items include assets and liabilities, such as reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill
impairment test and non-financial assets acquired and non-financial liabilities assumed in a
business combination. We will adopt SFAS No.&nbsp;157 no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
We are currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;157 would have on our
financial position and results of operations.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Comprehensive income (loss)&nbsp;is defined as all changes in a company&#146;s net assets, except
changes resulting from transactions with shareholders. For the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2008,
other comprehensive loss includes the unrealized loss on our Limoneira investment totaling $11.7
million, net of income taxes. Limoneira&#146;s stock price at October&nbsp;31, 2008 equaled $173.00 per
share. For the fiscal year ended October&nbsp;31, 2007, other comprehensive income includes the
unrealized gain on our Limoneira investment totaling $9.4&nbsp;million, net of income taxes.
Limoneira&#146;s stock price at October&nbsp;31, 2007 equaled $283.25 per share. For the fiscal year ended

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In April&nbsp;2008, we entered into a capital lease for various fixed assets related to our
Swedesboro, New Jersey facility. Such fixed assets are included in buildings and improvements and
equipment at October&nbsp;31, 2008, totaling $0.6&nbsp;million and $0.5&nbsp;million. Depreciation expense was
$2.1&nbsp;million, $2.0&nbsp;million and $1.9&nbsp;million for fiscal years 2008, 2007, and 2006, of which $0.1
million was related to depreciation on capital leases. We did not have any significant capital
leases as of October&nbsp;31, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective July&nbsp;2008, we purchased our previously leased fresh avocado packinghouse located in
Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico for $4.0&nbsp;million, plus acquisition costs. We recorded approximately
$0.9&nbsp;million and $3.1&nbsp;million in land and buildings and improvements related to this transaction.
The building is currently being depreciated over a 40-year period.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;During 1999, we established a Grower Development Program whereby funds can be advanced to
growers in exchange for their commitment to deliver a minimum volume of avocados on an annual
basis. These commitments to deliver fruit generally extend over a multi-year period. During
fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, no amounts were advanced pursuant to this program.$2.4&nbsp;million and
$2.7&nbsp;million were included in other assets as of October&nbsp;31, 2008 and October&nbsp;31, 2007. Advances
are not repaid and are amortized to cost of goods sold over the term of the related agreements, up
to a maximum of approximately 11&nbsp;years. The financial statements for fiscal years 2008, 2007 and
2006 include a charge of approximately $296,000, $304,000 and $298,000 representing the
amortization of these advances.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In May&nbsp;2008 and October&nbsp;2007, we renewed and/or extended our non-collateralized, revolving
credit facilities with Farm Credit West, PCA and Bank of America, N.A. These two credit facilities
expire in February&nbsp;2012 and July&nbsp;2009. Under the terms of these agreements, we are advanced funds
for working capital, the purchase and installation of capital items, and/or other corporate needs
of the Company. Total credit available under these combined borrowing agreements was $40&nbsp;million,
with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.8% at October&nbsp;31,
2008 and 5.8% at October 31, 2007. Under these credit
facilities, we had $23.1&nbsp;million and $10.6&nbsp;million outstanding as October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, of
which $13.0&nbsp;million and $4.0&nbsp;million was classified as a long-term liability as October&nbsp;31, 2008
and 2007. These credit facilities contain various financial covenants, the most significant
relating to working capital, tangible net worth (as defined), and Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) (as defined). We were in compliance with all such covenants
at October&nbsp;31, 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In August&nbsp;2008, we entered into a lease for a facility that will ultimately replace our
distribution center in San Antonio, Texas. This facility is located in Garland, Texas and is
presently under construction. Per the agreement, both we and the landlord must make improvements
to the facility totaling approximately $3.1&nbsp;million, of which we are responsible for approximately
$1.5&nbsp;million. As of October&nbsp;31, 2008, we have recorded approximately $0.6&nbsp;million in construction
in progress (included in fixed assets) related to these improvements. The term of the lease is for
10&nbsp;years, with two five year options to extend at our choice. The lease will commence once we take
possession, which is expected to be in the 2<SUP style="font-size: 85%; vertical-align: text-top">nd</SUP> quarter of fiscal 2009. We anticipate
that rent will be less than $0.1&nbsp;million per month throughout the life of the lease, but final
amounts are not determinable until construction is complete. As such, no amounts have been
included in the minimum cash payments table above.

for the tax year ended December&nbsp;31, 2000 and December&nbsp;31, 2004. We have received assessments
totaling approximately $2.0&nbsp;million and $4.5&nbsp;million from Hacienda related to the amount of income
at our Mexican subsidiary. Subsequent to that initial assessment, the Hacienda offered a
settlement of approximately $400,000 related to the tax year 2000 assessment, which we declined.
Based primarily on discussions with legal counsel and the evaluation of our claim, we maintain our
belief that the Hacienda&#146;s position has no merit and that we will prevail. Accordingly, no amounts
have been provided for in the financial statements as of October&nbsp;31, 2008. We pledged our
processed products building located in Uruapan, Michoacan, Mexico as collateral to Hacienda in

approximately $1.4&nbsp;million, $1.0&nbsp;million and $0.5&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Effective November&nbsp;1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise&#146;s financial statements in accordance with
FASB 109. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in
a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying FIN 48
is to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of
adoption. The impact of our reassessment of our tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not
have a material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As of October&nbsp;31, 2008, we provided a liability of $0.1&nbsp;million for unrecognized tax benefits
related to various federal and state income tax matters. The tax effected amount would reduce our
effective income tax rate if recognized.

processed products. These two business segments are presented based on how information is used by
our president to measure performance and allocate resources. The fresh products segment includes
all operations that involve the distribution of avocados grown both inside and outside of
California, as well as the distribution of other non-processed, perishable food products. The
processed products segment represents all operations related to the purchase, manufacturing, and
distribution of processed avocado products. Additionally, selling, general and administrative
expenses and non-operating line items are not charged directly, nor allocated to, a specific
product line. These items are now evaluated by our president only in aggregate. We do not

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In July&nbsp;2005, we entered into a non-collateralized term loan agreement with Farm Credit West,
PCA to finance the purchase of our Limoneira Stock. Pursuant to such agreement, we borrowed $13.0
million, which is to be repaid in 10 annual installments of $1.3&nbsp;million. Such annual installments
began July&nbsp;2006 and continue through July&nbsp;2015. Interest is paid monthly, in arrears, and began in
August&nbsp;2005, and will continue through the life of the loan. Such loan bears interest at a fixed
rate of 5.70%.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Such term loan contains various financial covenants, the most significant relating to working

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The employee stock purchase plan was approved by our Board of Directors and shareholders.
Participation in the employee stock purchase plan is limited to employees. The plan provides the
Board of Directors, or a plan administrator, the right to make available up to 2,000,000 shares of
common stock at a price not less than fair market value. In March&nbsp;2002, the Board of Directors
awarded selected employees the opportunity to purchase up to 474,000 shares of common stock at
$7.00 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the date prior to the grant. The plan
also permits us to advance all or some of the purchase price of the purchased stock to the employee
upon the execution of a full-recourse note at prevailing interest rates. These awards expired in
April&nbsp;2002, with 84 participating employees electing to purchase approximately 279,000 shares.
There was no activity related to such plan since this award.

</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In June&nbsp;2007, we entered into a distribution agreement with Agricola Belher (Belher) of
Mexico, a well-established quality producer of fresh vegetables, primarily tomatoes, for export to
the U.S. market. Pursuant to such distribution agreement, Belher agreed, at their sole cost and
expense, to harvest, pack, export, ship, and deliver tomatoes exclusively to our Arizona facility.
In exchange, we agreed to sell and distribute such tomatoes, advance $2&nbsp;million to Belher for
operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season (subject to
limitations, as defined), and return the proceeds from such tomato sales to Belher, net of our
commission and aforementioned advances. The agreement also allows for us to advance additional
amounts to Belher at our sole discretion. All advances that remain outstanding as of June&nbsp;2009 are
immediately due and payable. As of October&nbsp;31, 2008 and 2007, we have advanced $2&nbsp;million to
Belher (included in advances to suppliers) pursuant to this agreement. We record gross revenues
related to this agreement, as we believe we are acting more like the principal in these sales
transactions (principally primary obligor, inventory loss and delivery risk, latitude in
establishing prices, and determination of product specifications).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We also entered into an infrastructure agreement in June&nbsp;2007 with Belher in order to
significantly increase production yields and fruit quality. Pursuant to this agreement, we are to
advance up to $5&nbsp;million to be used solely for the acquisition, construction, and installation of
improvements to and on certain land owned by Belher, as well as packing line equipment. Advances
incur interest at 8.8% at October&nbsp;31, 2008. During fiscal 2008, we collected $1.0&nbsp;million and
advanced an additional $0.8&nbsp;million to Belher, resulting in a
total receivable from Belher of $4.8&nbsp;million, of which $1.2&nbsp;million is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $3.6
million is included in other long-term assets as of October&nbsp;31 2008. Belher is to annually repay
these advances in no less than 20% increments through July&nbsp;2012. In addition, the agreement allows
for up to an additional $1.0&nbsp;million advance to take place during the last five months of each of
our fiscal years 2008 through 2010, but they are subject to certain conditions and are to be made
at our sole discretion. Belher is to annually repay these advances in full on or before each of
July&nbsp;2008 through July&nbsp;2010. Interest is to be paid monthly or annually, as defined. Belher may
prepay, without penalty, all or any portion of the advances at any time.

Pineapple Company, LTD. (MPC)&nbsp;to market and sell Maui Gold Pineapples throughout the continental
United States and Canada. MPC agreed, among other things, to source, pack and ship such pineapples
to an agreed port of entry. In exchange, we agreed, among other things, to be responsible for such
product upon arrival at the port, to market and sell the related product, and to develop and
implement marketing strategies aimed at building the Maui Gold brand recognition.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The agreement calls for us to provide certain advances, as defined, and return the proceeds
from such pineapple sales to MPC, net of our commission, fees, and incentives, if applicable. The

evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk,
and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">A company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A
company&#146;s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company
are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (3)&nbsp;provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company&#146;s assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In our opinion, Calavo Growers, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of October&nbsp;31, 2008, based on the COSO criteria<B>.</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), consolidated balance sheets of Calavo Growers, Inc. as of October&nbsp;31, 2008
and 2007 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss),
shareholders&#146; equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October&nbsp;31,
