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

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