2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Calavo Growers, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries, 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. (HS), Hawaiian Pride, LLC (HP), Avocados de Jalisco, and RFG. We consolidate our entity Calavo Salsa Lisa, LLC (CSL), in which we have a 65 percent ownership interest. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

Prepaid expenses and other current assets consist primarily of non-trade receivables, infrastructure advances and prepaid expenses. Non-trade receivables were $12.3 million and $17.0 million at October 31, 2015 and 2014. Included in non-trade receivables are $6.0 million and $11.9 million related to Mexican IVA (i.e. value-added) taxes. In addition, included in non-trade receivables are $4.0 million and $3.2 million related to the bridge loan to the newly created joint venture Agricola Don Memo. See Note 16 for additional information. Infrastructure advances are discussed below. Prepaid expenses totaling $2.3 million and $1.7 million at October 31, 2015 and 2014, are primarily for insurance, rent and other items.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is computed on a monthly 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.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

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 - 7 to 50 years; leasehold improvements - the lesser of the term of the lease or 7 years; equipment - 7 to 25 years; information systems hardware and software – 3 to 15 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.

We capitalize software development costs for internal use beginning in the application development stage and ending when the asset is placed into service. Costs capitalized include coding and testing activities and various implementation costs. These costs are limited to (1) external direct costs of materials and services consumed in developing or obtaining internal-use computer software; (2) payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the internal-use computer software project to the extent of the time spent directly on the project; and (3) interest cost incurred while developing internal-use computer software. See Note 4 for further information.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

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. 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 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) the number of reporting units, (ii) the goodwill and other assets and liabilities to be allocated to the reporting units and (iii) 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. For fiscal years 2015 and 2014, we performed our annual assessment of goodwill and noted no impairments as of October 31, 2015 and 2014.

Long-lived Assets

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 than 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. For fiscal year 2015 and 2014, we performed our annual assessment of long-lived assets and determined that no impairment existed as of October 31, 2015 and 2014.

Investments

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.

In June 2009, we (through our wholly owned subsidiary: Calavo Inversiones (Chile) Limitada) entered into a joint venture agreement with Exportadora M5, S.A. (M5) for the purpose of selling and distributing Chilean sourced avocados. Such joint venture operates under the name of Calavo Chile and commenced operations in July 2009. M5 and Calavo each have an equal one-half ownership interest in Calavo Chile, but M5 has overall management responsibility for the operations of Calavo Chile. In fiscal year 2015, we have liquidated Calavo Chile. Upon liquidation we have incurred losses of $0.1 million, which is included in other income (expense).

In December 2014, Calavo formed a wholly owned subsidiary Calavo Growers De Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Calavo Sub). In July 2015, Calavo Sub entered into a Shareholder Agreement with Grupo Belo del Pacifico, S.A. de C.V., (Belo) a Mexican Company owned by Agricola Belher, and Agricola Don Memo, S.A. de C.V. (Don Memo). Don Memo, a Mexican corporation formed in July 2013, is engaged in the business of owning and improving land in Jalisco, Mexico for the growing of tomatoes and other produce and the sale and distribution of tomatoes and other produce. Belo and Calavo Sub have an equal one-half ownership interest in Don Memo in exchange for $2 million each. Pursuant to a management service agreement, Belo, through its officers and employees, shall have day-to-day power and authority to manage the operations. We have loaned $4.0 million to Don Memo since its formation. We have recorded such loans in prepaids and other current assets. These monies, intended as a bridge loan, are expected to be replaced with a loan from an institutional lender during our first fiscal quarter of 2016 and this bridge loan will be immediately repaid from the proceeds of the new loan. Additionally, $2.0 million, representing Calavo Sub’s 50% ownership in Don Memo, is included in investment in unconsolidated entities on our balance sheet. We use the equity method to account for this investment.

Effective May 2014, we closed our Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement by and among FreshRealm and the ownership members of FreshRealm. Pursuant to this agreement, Impermanence, LLC (Impermanence) was admitted as an ownership member of FreshRealm. Impermanence contributed $10.0 million to FreshRealm for 28.6% ownership. We agreed to dilute our ownership percentage in FreshRealm, as an injection of significant working capital would reduce the immediate need of Calavo to provide operating funds to FreshRealm and would also serve to preserve the value of our investment. As a result of the admission of Impermanence, Calavo’s ownership was reduced from 71.1% to 50.8%. Even though Calavo controlled greater than 50% of the outstanding units of FreshRealm, the minority/non-Calavo unit-holders held substantive participating rights. These rights existed primarily in two forms: (1) two out of a total of four board of director seats and (2) a provision in the Agreement that states that for situations for which the approval of the Members, as defined, is required by the Agreement, the Members shall act by Super-Majority Vote. As such, Calavo cannot control FreshRealm through its two board of director seats, nor its 50.8% ownership. Based on the foregoing, we deconsolidated FreshRealm in May 2014.

We estimated the fair value of our noncontrolling interest in FreshRealm by performing a forecast projection analysis. This analysis was conducted with the consultation from a third party consulting firm. Our investment of $17.8 million in FreshRealm million has been recorded as investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries on our balance sheet. In the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, FreshRealm issued additional units to various parties, which reduced our ownership percentage to approximately 49%.

Marketable Securities

Our marketable securities consist of our investment in Limoneira Company (Limoneira) stock. We currently own approximately 12% of Limoneira’s outstanding common stock. These securities are considered available for sale securities based on management’s intent with respect to such securities and 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 $27.4 million, $23.5 million and $4.0 million as of October 31, 2015. The estimated fair value, cost, and gross unrealized gain related to such investment was $44.4 million, $23.5 million and $20.9 million as of October 31, 2014.

Advances to Suppliers

We advance funds to third-party growers primarily in 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 31, 2015, nor October 31, 2014.

Pursuant to our distribution agreement, which was amended in fiscal 2011, with Agricola Belher (Belher) of Mexico, a producer of fresh vegetables, primarily tomatoes, for export to the U.S. market, 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, make advances 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. Pursuant to such amended agreement with Belher, we advanced Belher a total of $3.0 million, up from $2.0 million in the original agreement, during fiscal 2011. Additionally, the amended agreement calls for us to continue to advance $3.0 million per annum for operating purposes through 2019. These advances will be collected through settlements by the end of each year. As of October 31, 2015 and 2014, we have total advances of $3.0 million to Belher pursuant to this agreement, which is recorded in advances to suppliers.

Similar to Belher, we make advances to Don Memo for operating purposes, provide additional advances as shipments are made during the season, and return the proceeds from such tomato sales to Don Memo, net of our commission and aforementioned advances. As of October 31, 2015, we have total advances of $1.8 million to Don Memo, which is recorded in advances to suppliers.

Infrastructure Advances

Pursuant to our infrastructure agreement, we make advances to be used solely for the acquisition, construction, and installation of improvements to and on certain land owned/controlled by Belher, as well as packing line equipment. Advances incur interest at 4.7% at October 31, 2015 and 2014. As of October 31, 2015, we have advanced a total of $1.8 million ($1.0 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.8 million included in other long-term assets). As of October 31, 2014, we have advanced a total of $1.6 million ($0.8 million included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $0.8 million included in other long-term assets). Belher is to annually repay these advances in no less than 20% increments through June 2020. 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. 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.

Accrued Expenses

Included in accrued expenses at October 31, 2015 and 2014 are liabilities related to the receipt of goods and/or services for which an invoice has not yet been received. These totaled approximately $6.2 million and $4.7 million. Additionally, included in accrued expenses at October 31, 2014 are liabilities related to contingent consideration and non-cash compensation related to the acquisition of RFG. These totaled approximately $15.6 million. See Note 3 in prior year’s consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of products and related costs of products sold are recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable and (iv) 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.

Shipping and Handling

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.

Promotional Allowances

We provide for promotional allowances at the time of sale, based on our historical experience. Our estimates are generally based on evaluating the historical relationship between promotional allowances and gross sales. The derived percentage is then applied to the current period’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.

Allowance for Accounts Receivable

We provide an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts receivable balances based on historical experience and the aging of the related accounts receivable.

Consignment Arrangements

We frequently enter into consignment arrangements with avocado, pineapple and tomato 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 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 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 in the financial statements pursuant to consignment arrangements are as follows (in thousands):


	2015		2014		2013

Sales	$	28,139	$	30,721	$	30,620
Cost of Sales		25,177		27,759		27,679
Gross Margin	$	2,962	$	2,962	$	2,941

Advertising Expense

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred and are generally included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. Such costs were approximately $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.1 million for fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are generally included as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. FreshRealm, a development stage company, comprised the majority of our research and development costs in 2014 and 2013. Total research and development costs for fiscal years 2015 was less than $0.1 million. Total research and development costs for fiscal years 2014 and 2013, were approximately $0.8 million and $1.5 million.

Other Income, Net

Included in other income, net is dividend income totaling $0.5 million for fiscal year 2015 and 2014. Dividend income totaled $0.4 million for fiscal year 2013. See Note 9 for related party disclosure related to other income.

Use of Estimates

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.

Income Taxes

We account for 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, we perform 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.

We 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.

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.

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’s estimates, which could result in the need to record additional tax liabilities or potentially reverse previously recorded tax liabilities.

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

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 and contingent consideration. The basic weighted-average number of common shares outstanding was 17,295,000, 15,765,000, and 14,856,000 for fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013. 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 and the effect of contingent consideration shares, which were 68,000, and 1,455,000 for fiscal years 2015 and 2014. For fiscal year 2013, no dilutive shares were considered due to the impact of anti-dilution.

Stock-Based Compensation

We 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. We 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.

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) expected volatility, (2) expected dividends, (3) 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.

We measure the fair value of our stock option awards on the date of grant. No options were granted in fiscal years 2015 and 2014. The following assumptions were used in the estimated grant date fair value calculations for stock options issued in 2013:


		2013
Risk-free interest rate		0.70%
Expected volatility		44.30%
Dividend yield		2.60%
Expected life (years)		5.0

For the years ended October 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, we recognized compensation expense of $2,108,000, $727,000, and $376,000 related to non-acquisition stock-based compensation.

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’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107.

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.

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

Our foreign operations are subject to exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency transaction costs. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is the United States dollar. As a result, monetary assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and non-monetary assets, liabilities and equity are translated at historical rates. Sales and expenses are translated using a weighted-average exchange rate for the period. Gains and losses resulting from those remeasurements are included in income. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are also recognized currently in income. Total foreign currency losses for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, net of gains, were $1.8 million, $0.1 million, and $0.4 million.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

We believe that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term borrowings approximates fair value based on either their short-term nature or on terms currently available to the Company in financial markets. Due to current market rates, we believe that our fixed-rate long-term obligations have the same fair value and carrying value of approximately $2.8 million as of October 31, 2015.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We were not a party to any material 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.

Correction of an Immaterial Error to Previously Issued Financial Statements

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company’s October 31, 2014 consolidated financial statements, management determined that the bridge loan of $3.2 million to Agricola Don Memo during 2014, which had been previously presented as a cash outflow from operating activities within the change in prepaids and other assets, should have been presented as a cash outflow from investing activities in its consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended October 31, 2014. As a result, the Company has corrected its accompanying 2014 consolidated statement of cash flows to properly reflect the bridge loan activity as cash outflows from investing activities. As a result, net cash provided by operating activities increased from $21.3 million, as previously reported, to $24.5 million and net cash used in investing activities increased from $18.6 million, as previously reported, to $21.8 million. Management has concluded the error is immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended October 31, 2014.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

During November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”, which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This ASU requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. We early adopted ASU 2015-17 effective October 31, 2015 on a prospective basis. Adoption of this ASU resulted in a reclassification of our net current deferred tax asset to the net non-current deferred tax asset in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2015. No prior periods were retrospectively adjusted.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity presents such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs is reported as interest expense. The amendment in this ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2016 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which amends certain requirements in ASC 810 for determining whether a variable interest entity must be consolidated. The amendment in this ASU will be effective for us beginning the first day of our 2016 fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The amendments are based on the principle that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are required to adopt the amendments in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We do not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued guidance which changes the criteria for identifying a discontinued operation. The guidance limits the definition of a discontinued operation to the disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. We are required to adopt the guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, with early adoption permitted for transactions that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as all changes in a company's net assets, except changes resulting from transactions with shareholders. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015, other comprehensive income includes the unrealized loss on our Limoneira investment totaling $10.3 million, net of income taxes. Limoneira’s stock price at October 31, 2015 equaled $15.86 per share. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2014, other comprehensive loss includes the unrealized loss on our Limoneira investment totaling $0.7 million, net of income taxes. Limoneira’s stock price at October 31, 2014 equaled $25.66 per share. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, other comprehensive income includes the unrealized gain on our Limoneira investment totaling $4.0 million, net of income taxes. Limoneira’s stock price at October 31, 2013 equaled $26.34 per share.

In August 2015, we entered into Shareholder’s Agreement with various partners which created Avocados de Jalisco, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Avocados de Jalisco). Avocados de Jalisco is a Mexican corporation created to engage in procuring, packing and selling avocados in Jalisco Mexico. This entity is 80% owned by Calavo and was consolidated as of October 31, 2015. Avocados de Jalisco is currently building a packinghouse located in Jalisco, Mexico and such packinghouse is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2016. The portion of the entity owned by others has been reflected as a noncontrolling interest and amounts to $1.0 million as of October 31, 2015.
