<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;We patiently invested in and built a formidable processed operation with appealing products
that continues to notch impressive sales gains to the retail and foodservice channels. This
operation has now come fully into its own and we are realizing the efficiencies and economies of

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cole emphasized that the company&#146;s diversification strategy of folding additional commodity
produce items into Calavo&#146;s existing sales and marketing infrastructure also accelerated sales in
fiscal 2008. &#147;Tomatoes, principally, but also pineapples, papayas, mushrooms and other tropical
produce items are proving to be solid revenue drivers,&#148; he said.

10&nbsp;percent, to $6.2&nbsp;million in the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter. The most significant portion of
that increase is attributable to commissions associated with processed-guacamole sales to national
retail accounts. SG&#038;A as a percentage of total revenues in the fiscal 2008 fourth quarter was
approximately 6.6%, essentially unchanged from the corresponding period the prior year.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SG&#038;A for the year rose just $1.2&nbsp;million, equal to 5.8%, to $20.9&nbsp;million, while supporting
nearly $59&nbsp;million in additional fiscal 2008 revenue. As a percentage of revenues, SG&#038;A in fiscal
2008 declined approximately 70 basis points to 5.8&nbsp;percent from 6.5&nbsp;percent in the prior year, as
further indication of efficiency gains across company operations. &#147;We are keeping a keen eye
trained on wringing costs from every segment of the company,&#148; said Cole, &#147;and that discipline is
clearly evident on the SG&#038;A line.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to the company&#146;s financial condition, Cole described the Calavo balance sheet as
&#147;strong, flexible and possessing ample capacity for leverage,&#148; if appropriate acquisition and
growth opportunities afford themselves. &#147;We routinely evaluate prospects that are brought to the
company&#146;s attention and

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">we are extremely well positioned to move from the standpoint of our financial condition if an
attractive opportunity arises,&#148; Cole said.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Looking Ahead: The Fiscal 2009 Outlook</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With respect to the future, Cole said, &#147;The company begins 2009 from a highly enviable
position. We believe that Calavo has not yet fully realized all the gross margin benefits
resulting from globalized sourcing and strong management of operating costs, and expect these
factors&#151;both fundamental components of the company&#146;s competitive advantage&#151;to favorably impact
Fresh and Processed operations moving forward.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cole continued, &#147;The most compelling validation of Calavo&#146;s business strategy, however, is
evidenced in our record results in the face of the struggling U.S. and global economies. Our
management team has been extremely disciplined in executing a business plan that adds incremental
revenue and profit without requiring commensurate expansion of overhead and capital expenditures.
We think that approach portends favorably for the company and are staying the course.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;I am as confident and optimistic about the company&#146;s prospects as I&#146;ve been at any time
during my leadership. We are looking forward to another highly successful year in fiscal 2009,&#148;
Cole concluded.
