[1] | (1) The investment in Limoneira Company consists of marketable securities in the Limoneira Company stock. We currently own approximately 15% of Limoneira&#8217;s outstanding common stock. These securities are measured at fair value by quoted market prices. Limoneira&#8217;s stock price at October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 equaled $22.47 per share and $17.35 per share. Unrealized gains and losses are recognized through other comprehensive income. Unrealized investment holding gains arising during the year ended October 31, 2012 was $8.9 million. Unrealized investment holding losses arising during the year ended October 31, 2011 was $5.0 million. Unrealized investment holding gains arising during the year ended October 31, 2010 was $10.8 million.
[2] | (2) Each period we revalue the contingent consideration obligations to their fair value and record increases or decreases in the fair value into selling, general and administrative expense. Increases or decreases in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations can result from changes in assumed discount periods and rates, changes in the assumed timing and amount of revenue and expense estimates. Significant judgment is employed in determining the appropriateness of these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Accordingly, future business and economic conditions, as well as changes in any of the assumptions described above, can materially impact the amount of contingent consideration expense we record in any given period. Total net increase to the contingent considerations in fiscal year 2012 totaled $0.4 million. Total net decrease to the contingent considerations in fiscal year 2011 totaled $0.5 million. See Note 16 for further discussion.
