Business Overview

Since its establishment, the Company, including its predecessor entities, has been principally engaged in breeding, growing, processing and selling agricultural commodities,seeds, primarily alfalfa seed. The Company owns a 40-acre seed cleaning and processing facilityfacilities, which are located in Five Points, California that it has operated since its inception.and Nampa, Idaho. The Company's products are primarily grown under contract by farmers in the San Joaquin and Imperial Valleys of California, Southern Australia as well as by the Company itself under a small direct farming operation. The Company began its stevia initiative in fiscal 2010 and is currently focused on breeding improved varieties of stevia improving its harvesting and milling techniques, and developing marketing and distribution programs for its stevia products.

On December 31, 2014, the Company purchased certain alfalfa research and production facility and conventional (non-GMO) alfalfa germplasm assets and assumed certain related liabilities ("the Pioneer Acquisition") of Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. ("DuPont Pioneer").

The Company believes it is the global leader in alfalfa seed with research and development, production and distribution capabilities. The Company's operations span the world's alfalfa seed production regions with operations in the San Joaquin and Imperial Valleys of California, five other US states, Australia, and three provinces in Canada, and the Company sells its seed products in more than 25 countries around the globe.

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014,2015, consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income for the three and 2013,nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, consolidated statement of owners'stockholders' equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 20142015 and 20132014 are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of the Company's management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's statement of financial position at March 31, 20142015 and its results of operations and its cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 20142015, and 2013.its cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 20142015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014.2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are adjusted to reflect actual experience when necessary. Significant estimates and assumptions affect many items in the financial statements. These include allowance for doubtful trade receivables, sales returns and allowances, inventory valuation and obsolescence, asset impairments, provisions for income taxes, grower accruals (an estimate of amounts payable to farmers who grow seed for the Company), contingent consideration, derivative liabilities, contingencies and litigation. Significant estimates and assumptions are also used to establish the fair value and useful lives of depreciable tangible and certain intangible assets as well as valuing stock-based compensation. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions, and such results may affect income, financial position or cash flows.

Certain Risks and Concentrations

International Operations

The Company translates its foreign operations' asset and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies into U.S. dollars at the current rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date and income and expense items at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. Translation adjustments resulting from exchange rate fluctuations are recorded in the cumulative translation account, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the consolidated statement of operations.

Revenue Recognition

The Company derives its revenue primarily from sale of seed and other crops and milling services. Revenue from seed and other crop sales is recognized when risk and title to the product is transferred to the customer. No customer which usually occurs at the time of shipment.

When the right of return exists in the Company's seed business, sales revenue is reduced at the time of sale to reflect expected returns. In order to estimate the expected returns, management analyzes historical returns, economic trends, market conditions and changes in customer demand. At March 31, 2014, no customers had thehas a right of return.

The Company recognizes revenue from milling services according to the terms of the sales agreements and when delivery has occurred, performance is complete, no right of return exists and pricing is fixed or determinable at the time of sale.

Additional conditions for recognition of revenue for all sales include the requirements that the collection of sales proceeds must be reasonably assured based on historical experience and current market conditions, the sales price is fixed and determinable and that there must be no further performance obligations under the sale.

Shipping and Handling CostsCost of Revenue

The Company records purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs and warehousing costs in cost of goods sold.revenue. In some instances, the Company is not obligated to pay for shipping or any costs associated with delivering its products to its customers. In these instances, costs associated with the shipment of products are not included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. When the Company is required to pay for outward freight and/or the costs incurred to deliver products to its customers, the costs are included in cost of goods sold.revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company considers time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of the following:

 March 31, June 30, March 31,   June 30,  
 2014 2013 2015 2014
  
Cash $1,542,553  $10,356,527  $2,514,815  $1,046,201 
Money market funds  121,287  1,424,547  121,348  121,302 
 $1,663,840  $11,781,074  $2,636,163  $1,167,503 

The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Accounts are guaranteed by the FDIC up to $250,000 under current regulations. Cash equivalents held in money market funds are not FDIC insured. Cash deposits with these banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, these deposits typically may be redeemed upon demand and, therefore, bear minimal risk. The Company had approximately $1,292,553$2,264,815 and $10,106,527$796,201 in excess of FDIC insured limits at March 31, 20142015 and June 30, 2013,2014, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful trade receivables equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. That estimate is based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of each customer's trade accounts receivable. The allowance for doubtful trade receivables was $33,314$89,820 and $22,869$72,556 at March 31, 20142015 and June 30, 2013,2014, respectively.

Inventories

Inventory

Inventories consist of alfalfa seed purchased from the Company's growers under production contracts, alfalfa seed produced from its own farming operations and packaging materials.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, and an inventory reserve would permanently reduce the cost basis of inventory. Inventories are valued as follows: Actual cost is used to value raw materials such as packaging materials, as well as goods in process. Costs for substantially all finished goods, which include the cost of carryover crops from the previous year, are valued at actual cost. Actual cost for finished goods includes plant conditioning and packaging costs, direct labor and raw materials and manufacturing overhead costs based on normal capacity. The Company records abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) as current period charges and allocates fixed production overhead to the costs of finished goods based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.

The Company's subsidiary, SGI, does not fix the final price for seed payable to its growers until the completion of a given year's sales cycle pursuant to its standard contract production agreement. SGI records an estimated unit price; accordingly, inventory, cost of goods soldrevenue and gross profits are based upon management's best estimate of the final purchase price to growers.

Inventory is periodically reviewed to determine if it is marketable, obsolete or impaired. Inventory that is determined to not be marketable is written down to marketscrap value. Inventory that is determined to be obsolete or impaired is written off to expense at the time the impairment is identified. Because the germination rate, and therefore the quality, of alfalfa seed improves over the first year of proper storage, inventory obsolescence for alfalfa seed is not a material concern. The Company sells its inventory to distributors, dealers and directly to growers.

Growing Crops

Expenditures on growing crops are valued at the lower of cost or market and are deferred and charged to cost of products sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The deferred growing costs included in inventories in the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of labor, lease payments on land, interest expense on farmland, cultivation, on-going irrigation, harvest and fertilization costs. Costs included in growing crops relate to the current crop year. Costs that are to be realized over the life of the crop are reflected in crop production costs.

Components of inventory are:

Crop Production Costs

Expenditures on crop production costs are valued at the lower of cost or market and are deferred and charged to cost of products sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The deferred crop production costs included in the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of the cost of plants and the transplanting, stand establishment costs, intermediate life irrigation equipment and land amendments and preparation. Crop production costs are estimated to have useful lives of three to five years depending on the crop and nature of the expenditure and are amortized to growing crop inventory each year over the estimated life of the crop.

Components of crop production costs are:

 March 31, June 30, March 31,   June 30,  
 2014 2013 2015 2014
Alfalfa seed production $2,240,374  $1,497,695  $827,939  $1,747,429

Total crop production costs, net  $2,519,220  $1,582,599  $1,081,954  $1,952,100 

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset - periods of approximately 18-28 years for buildings, 3-73-10 years for machinery and equipment, and 3-5 years for vehicles.  Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever in management's judgmentif conditions indicate a possible loss. Such impairment tests compare estimated undiscounted cash flows to the recorded value of the asset.  If an impairment is indicated, the asset is written down to its fair value or, ifvalue.  If fair value is not readily determinable, to anit is estimated fair value based on discounted cash flows. Fully depreciated assets are retained in property, plant and equipment and accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. In case of disposals of assets, the assets and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the net amounts after proceeds from disposal are credited or charged to income.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions are reported at their initial fair value less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets acquired inare amortized using the acquisitionstraight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset. Periods of 10-30 years for technology/IP/germplasm, 20 years for customer list in July 2011relationships and the acquisition of proprietary alfalfa germ-plasm in August 2012 are reported at their initial cost less accumulated amortization. See Note 3trade names, and Note 42-20 for further discussion. Theother intangible assets are amortized based on useful lives ranging from 3-20 years.assets.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Not Subject to Amortization

The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of intangible assets not subject to amortization, including goodwill, to determine whether impairment may exist. Goodwill and certain intangible assets areis assessed annually, or when certain triggering events occur, for impairment using fair value measurement techniques. These events could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, a decline in operating performance, competition, sale or disposition of a significant portion of the business, or other factors. The Company has the optionfirst assesses qualitative factors to review goodwill on a qualitative basis first. Ifdetermine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment is present the Company, then must evaluate Goodwill for impairment using a two step process.test. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is used to identify potential impairment by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company uses Level 3 inputs and a discounted cash flow methodology to estimate the fair value of a reporting unit. A discounted cash flow analysis requires one to make various judgmental assumptions including assumptions about future cash flows, growth rates, and discount rates. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on the Company's budget and long-term plans. Discount rate assumptions are based on an assessment of the risk inherent in the respective reporting units. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not

11


impaired, and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit's goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value of the reporting unit was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit. The Company conducted a qualitative assessment of goodwill and other intangibles and determined that it was more likely than not there was no impairment.

Purchase Accounting

The Company accounts for acquisitions pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") No. 805,Business Combinations. The Company records all acquired tangible and intangible assets and all assumed liabilities based upon their estimated fair values.11


Research and Development Costs

The Company is engaged in ongoing research and development ("R&D") of proprietary seed and stevia varieties. The Company accounts for R&D under standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). Under these standards, allAll R&D costs must be charged to expense as incurred. Accordingly, internal R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Third-party R&D costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed or as milestone results have been achieved. The costs associated with equipment or facilities acquired or constructed for R&D activities that have alternative future uses are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset. The amortization and depreciation for such capitalized assets are charged to R&D expenses.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has in effect a stock incentive plan under which incentive stock options have been granted to employees and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, and restricted stock units ("RSUs") have been granted to employees and non-employees, including members of the Board of Directors. The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan by expensing the estimated fair value of stock-based awards over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. The measurement of stock-based compensation expense for option grants is based on several criteria including, but not limited to, the valuation model used and associated input factors such as expected term of the award, stock price volatility, dividend rate, risk-free interest rate, attrition rate and exercise price. The input factors to use in the valuation model are based on subjective future expectations combined with management judgment. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the lattice valuation model and the assumptions shown in Note 11. Restricted stock and RSUs are valued based on the Company's stock price on the day the awards are granted. The excess tax benefits recognized in equity related to equity award exercises are reflected as financing cash inflows. See Note 11 for a detailed discussion of stock-based compensation.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share Data

Basic net income (loss) per common share, or earnings per share ("EPS"), is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting outstanding shares, assuming any dilutive effects of options, restricted stock awards and common stock warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of the Company's common stock results in a greater dilutive effect from outstanding options, restricted stock awards and common stock warrants.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with standards of disclosure propounded by the FASB and any related interpretations of those standards sanctioned by the FASB. Accordingly, deferredDeferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as a consideration of net operating loss and credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment ("ASC 360-10"). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of long-lived assets will be adjusted, based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. ASC 360-10 also requiresA triggering event during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 prompted a review of certain farmland related costs.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company's subsidiary, SGI, is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations in the normal course of its business, which the Company at times manages through the use of foreign currency forward contracts.

The Company has entered into certain derivative financial instruments (specifically foreign currency forward contracts), and accounts for these instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, "Derivatives and Hedging", which establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. Additionally, changes in the derivative's fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If hedge accounting criteria are met for cash flow hedges, the changes in the derivative's fair value are recorded in shareholders' equity as a component of other comprehensive income ("OCI"), net of tax. The Company's foreign currency contracts are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815,815; accordingly, changes in the fair value are recorded in current period earnings.

Derivative Liabilities

The Company reviews the terms of the common stock, warrants and convertible debt it issues to determine whether there are embedded derivative instruments, including embedded conversion options and redemption options, which are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as derivative financial instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, theThe Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10"). ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and enhances fair value measurement disclosure. ASC 820-10 delays, until the first quarter of fiscal year 2009, the effective date for ASC 820-10 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The adoption of ASC 820-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or operations, but does require that the Company disclosediscloses assets and liabilities that are recognized and measured at fair value, on a non-recurring basis, presented in a three-tier fair value hierarchy, as follows:

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Pioneer Acquisition were valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2014. No assets or liabilities were valued at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 20142015 or June 30, 2013, respectively.2014.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820-10") and Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments ("ASC 825-10"), which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Neither of these statements had an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable short-term and long-term borrowings, as reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments or interest rates commensurate with market rates.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to classifications adopted in the current period.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013,April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: ReportingNo. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,Interest (Subtopic 835-30) which requires companiesdebt issuance costs related to report,a recognized debt liability to be presented in one place, information about significant reclassifications outthe balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, and disclose more information about changes in AOCI balances.that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Company adoptedelected to adopt this ASUupdate as of March 31, 2015 and debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the first quarterconsolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of fiscal 2014.that debt liability. The update was adopted because management believes it provides a more meaningful presentation of its financial position. This change in accounting principle has been applied on a retrospective basis and the June 30, 2014 consolidated balance sheet has been adjusted to reflect the period specific effects of applying the new guidance. The retrospective application of this change in accounting principle did not have an impact on the June 30, 2014 consolidated balance sheet as the Company did not have debt issuance costs at that date. The adoption of this standardchange in accounting principle on the March 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet reduced debt issuance costs of $1,272,676 which were previously presented as a long-term asset, and reduced the carrying value of the convertible notes by the same amount. The adoption did not have a materialan impact on itsthe Company's consolidated financial statements.statement of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which provides guidance for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The Company will adopt the standard effective July 1, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.13


NOTE 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

IVS Transaction

On October 1, 2012,December 31, 2014, the Company purchased substantially allcertain alfalfa research and production facilities and conventional (non-GMO) alfalfa germplasm assets (and assumed certain related liabilities) of the assets of Imperial Valley Seeds, Inc. ("IVS"). Pursuant to the acquisition agreement, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of IVS not including cash on hand, all accounts and other receivables of IVS, and all inventory of the IVS alfalfa seed business.

The purchase price consistscurrent liabilities assumed relate to inventory acquired in the acquisition. Subsequent to December 31, 2014, the Company determined that at the acquisition date, the seller had already paid the third party growers $9,688,881 for the inventory acquired in the acquisition. As a result, the carrying amount of the following:

current liabilities assumed was retrospectively decreased by $9,688,881 on December 31, 2014, due to this new information, with a corresponding increase to the acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred. In addition, subsequent to the issuance of the December 31, 2014 financial statements, the Company obtained final support to adjust the estimates previously made on inventory purchases and grower payables assumed as well as acquired property, plant and equipment. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired, amounting to $1,402,000,$10,467,735, was recorded as goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet. Goodwill is not amortized for financial reporting purposes, but is amortized for tax purposes.

Management assigned fair values to the identifiable intangible assets through a combination of the relief from royalty method and the multi-period excess earnings method. The contingent consideration requires the Company to increase the principal amount of the Seller note by up to an additional $5,000,000 if the Company meets certain performance metrics during the three year period following the acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement at the acquisition date was $2,200,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a probability-weighted cash flow model. The fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. The key assumptions in applying the income approach were as follows: 12% present value discount factor and probability adjusted revenue assumptions based on the number of expected units produced. As of March 31, 2015, there were no significant changes in the range of outcomes for the contingent consideration recognized as a result of the acquisition.

In fiscal 2013, the Company incurred $486,166$831,737 of acquisition costs associated with the IVS and SGI transactions whichPioneer Acquisition that have been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of operations.

In the transaction, DuPont Pioneer retained ownership of its GMO (genetically modified) alfalfa germplasm and related intellectual property assets, as well as the right to develop new GMO-traited alfalfa germplasm. The retained GMO germplasm assets incorporate certain GMO traits that are licensed to DuPont Pioneer from third parties (the "Third Party GMO Traits"). The Company was interested in acquiring the GMO assets at the time it acquired the conventional (non-GMO) alfalfa seed assets, and DuPont Pioneer was interested in selling those assets, but terms could not be agreed-upon, in part because of the need for agreements with the third parties from whom the Third Party GMO Traits are licensed.

The agreements related to the Pioneer Acquisition provide that both the Company and DuPont Pioneer will work towards obtaining the necessary consents from and agreements with third parties such that the GMO assets can be transferred from DuPont Pioneer to the Company. If such consents and agreements are obtained before November 30, 2017, the Company has committed to buy and DuPont Pioneer has committed to sell the GMO assets at a price of $7,000,000 on or before December 29, 2017.

The Debentures provide for redemption of up to $5,000,000 in principal amount, payable in cash without prepayment penalty, if redeemed by July 1, 2015. Such early redemption is required in the event of certain real estate sales and otherwise is optional.

At March 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding $22,000,000 in principal amount of the Debentures following the real estate sale redemption. The reduction in principal was applied on the back end of the term, and as a result, does not reduce the dollar amount of the monthly redemption payments that commence on July 1, 2015, but does have the effect of reducing the term of the Debentures from December 1, 2017 to June 1, 2017.

The Debentures are convertible, at the holder's option, into the Company's common stock at an initial conversion price of $5.00, subject to adjustment for $5.85 per share,stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar recapitalization events. If, on September 30, 2015, the conversion price of $5.00 exceeds the arithmetic average of the 10 lowest daily volume weighted average prices ("VWAPs") of the common stock during the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to one accredited investor.September 30, 2015 the conversion price will adjust to that arithmetic average but in no event will the price be reset below $4.15 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring after December 30, 2014). The Company received total proceeds, nethas a one-time optional forced conversion right, exercisable if specified conditions are satisfied.

During March 2013,Warrants

The Warrants entitle the Company issued 30,597holders to purchase, in the aggregate, 2,699,999 shares of common stock pursuant to a cashless exercise of a total of 50,000 other warrants which were issued in May 2010stock. The Warrants are exercisable beginning June 30, 2015 and expire on June 30, 2020, unless earlier redeemed. The Warrants are initially exercisable at an exercise price equal to $5.00, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations or similar recapitalization events. If, on September 30, 2015, the exercise price then in effective exceeds the arithmetic average of $4.00. The 50,000 warrants have been cancelled and they are no longer outstanding. Thethe 10 lowest daily VWAPs of the Company's common stock issuance was recordedduring the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to September 30, 2015 then the exercise price for the Warrants will be reset to that arithmetic average, but in no event will the reset price fall below $4.15 (as adjusted for any stock dividends, stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring after December 30, 2014). In addition, if the Company issues or is deemed to have issued securities at par value with no change to net equity balances.

During March 2013, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. exercised 10,500 of its underwriter warrants at ana price lower than the then applicable exercise price during the three year period ending December 31, 2017, the exercise price of $13.20 which resultedthe Warrants will adjust based on a weighted average anti-dilution formula ("down-round protection"). The Warrants may be exercised for cash, provided that, if there is no effective registration statement available registering the exercise of the Warrants, the Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. At any time after July 1, 2015, provided that (i) all equity conditions set forth in the Company issuing 21,000 sharesWarrant have been satisfied, and (ii) the closing sales price of the common stock 10,500 A warrantsequals or exceeds $12.00 for 15 consecutive trading days (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and 10,500 B warrants. Theother similar recapitalization events), the Company received $138,600 in proceeds from this exercise. During March 2013, Paulson Investment Company, Inc. also exercised 10,500may redeem all or any part of the A warrants generatingWarrants then outstanding for cash in an amount equal to $0.25 per Warrant.

Accounting for the Conversion Option and Warrants

The aggregate gross proceeds of $75,075.

In April 2013,$27,000,000 were allocated between the Company issued 12,000 restricted common sharesDebentures and the Warrants. Due to terminatethe down-round price protection included in the terms of the Warrants, the Warrants are treated as a consulting contract.derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheet, measured at fair value and marked to market each reporting period until the earlier of the Warrants being fully exercised or December 31, 2017, when the down-round protection expires. The common stock issued was valued at $109,920 and was based on theinitial fair value of the Warrants on December 31, 2014 was $4,862,000. The Warrants were initially valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model, under the following assumptions: (i) expected life of 5.5 years, (ii) volatility of 53.4%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 1.65%, and (iv) dividend rate of zero. The exercise price re-set feature was captured within the Monte-Carlo simulation by creating a series of stock price paths and examining whether or not the simulated stock price was less than the original stated exercise price. If the simulated value was less, the exercise price was adjusted downward using the formula per the warrant purchase agreement. If the simulated stock price was higher, the exercise price remained set at the originally stated exercise price.

The remaining $22,138,000 of proceeds was allocated to the Debentures. The required redemption contingent upon the real estate sale was determined to be an embedded derivative not clearly and closely related to the borrowing. As such, it was bifurcated and treated as a derivative liability, recorded initially at its fair value of $150,000, leaving an allocation to the host debt of $21,988,000. The difference between the initial amount allocated to the borrowing and the face value of the Debentures will be amortized over the term of the Debentures using the effective interest method. In addition, debt issuance costs totaling $1,915,417 are being amortized over the term of the Debentures using the effective interest method.

While the conversion feature of the Debentures does not require separate accounting as either a derivative or an equity component, the potential reset of the conversion price on September 30, 2015 created a contingent beneficial conversion feature. If the dateconversion price is adjusted at September 30, 2015 to a price less than $4.88 per share, a beneficial conversion feature will be recognized at that time. Initially, the maximum beneficial conversion feature was approximately $3,900,000, based on a potential reset to the floor of issuance.$4.15 per share. The redemption of $5,000,000 in principal amount of Debentures means that the maximum beneficial conversion feature that may be recognized has decreased to $3,200,000. Any beneficial conversion feature recognized will reduce the recognized value of the debt and be treated as additional debt discount, which will be accreted to interest expense over the remaining term of the Debentures.

In July 2013,Accounting for the Company issued 30,028 sharesRedemption

The redemption of $5,000,000 in principal amount of the Debentures was accounted for as a partial extinguishment of the borrowing, as well as the settlement of RSU'sthe derivative recognized initially. The redemption resulted in a loss of $1,146,090, which vestedis included in July 2013.

NOTE 1112 - EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

2009 Equity Incentive Plan

In October 2009 and January 2010, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders, respectively, approved the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The plan authorized the grant and issuance of options, restricted shares and other equity compensation to the Company's directors, employees, officers and consultants, and those of the Company's subsidiaries and parent, if any. In October 2012 and December 2012, the Company's Board of Directors and stockholders, respectively, approved the amendment and restatement of the 2009 Plan, including an increase in the number of shares available for issuance as grants and awards under the Plan to 1,250,000 shares.

The term of incentive stock options granted under the 2009 Plan may not exceed ten years, or five years for incentive stock options granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of the Company's voting stock. The exercise price of options granted under the 2009 Plan must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the shares of the common stock on the date the option is granted. An incentive stock option granted to an optionee owning more than 10% of voting stock must have an exercise price equal to or greater than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted.

The Company has adopted ASC 718, Stock Compensation, ("ASC 718"). ASC 718 requires companies to measuremeasures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award.

The Company accounts for equity instruments, including stock options, issued to non-employees in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity-based payments to non-employees (FASB ASC 505-50). Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest.

For stock-based awards granted, the The Company amortizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Beginning with the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company began utilizing a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which includes assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, life of the award, and the volatility of the Company's common stock to estimate the fair value of employee options grants. The fair value of employee option grants areissued prior to the quarter ended December 31, 2014 were estimated on the date of grant and the fair value of options granted to non-employees are re-measured as they vest. Fair value is calculated using a lattice model. The weighted average assumptions used in the models are outlinedBlack-Scholes-Merton model were:( i) 1.4% - 1.5% risk free rate of interest; (ii) 0% dividend yield and (iii) 50.8% volatility of common stock. The Company applied forfeiture assumptions of 5.2%-14.9% to the estimated fair values to determine the net expense to record in the following table:consolidated financial statements.

Executive Overview

Founded in 1980 and headquartered in the Central Valley of California, we are the leading producer of warm climate (non-dormant), high-yield alfalfa seed varieties, including varieties that can thrive in poor, saline soils. Wesoils and are drought tolerant. Our December 2014 acquisition of certain alfalfa research and production facility and conventional (non-GMO) alfalfa germplasm assets of DuPont Pioneer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, provides us with the opportunity to become a leading producer of dormant, high yield alfalfa seed varieties, which are the varieties suitable for cold weather conditions. In addition to alfalfa seed production and sales, which is our core business, we also offer seed cleaning and processing for other seed manufacturers.manufacturers and conduct an ongoing stevia breeding program. Until we incorporated in 2009, our business was operated for almost 30 years as a general partnership and was owned by five general partners. We incorporated in October 2009 in Delaware, having bought out the former partners between June 2008 and May 2010, and reincorporated as a Nevada corporation in December 2011.

Following our initial public offering in fiscal 2010, we expanded certain pre-existing business initiatives and added new ones, including:

We believe our 2013 combination with SGI createscreated the world's largest non-dormant alfalfa seed company and our combined company now hasgave us the competitive advantages of year-round production which extends to all areasin that market. With the completion of the DuPont Pioneer Acquisition of dormant alfalfa seed business, including sales, inventory managementassets in December 2014, we believe we have become the largest alfalfa seed company worldwide (by volume), with industry-leading research and cash collection cycles. SGI was incorporateddevelopment, as a limitedwell as production and distribution capabilities in both hemispheres and the ability to supply proprietary corporation in South Australia in 1993, as Harkness Group, it changed its name to Seed Genetics Australia Pty Ltd in 2002,dormant and in 2011 changed its name to Seed Genetics International Pty Ltd. SGI's principal office space is located in Unley, South Australia.

We also own a seed-cleaning and processing facility in Five Points, California that was modernized and rebuiltnon-dormant alfalfa seed. Our operations span the world's alfalfa seed production regions, with operations in the late 1980's. The property encompasses a totalSan Joaquin and Imperial Valleys of 40 acres, including 35 acres that are in reserve for future development andCalifornia, five acres with permanent structuresadditional Western states, Australia and three seed-processing lines. In recent years,provinces in Canada. We now sell our seed products in more than 25 countries around the facility has operated at less than 25% of capacity, providing ample opportunity for growth, both in terms of cleaning the alfalfa seed we grow or purchase from our growers and providing cleaning services for San Joaquin Valley growers of small grains such as wheat, barley and triticale.

globe.

We fulfill our seed requirements by contracting with farmers in the San Joaquin and Imperial Valleys of California, and Southern Australia, and as a result of the DuPont Pioneer Acquisition, we have gained additional growers located primarily in Idaho, California, Eastern Oregon and Washington, as well as growers in other western states and Alberta, Canada. We also produce some of our seed directly by internally farming acreage we havelease or own in California. In March 2015, we sold most of our farmland but continue to grow our own seed on leased or purchased in California.acreage. Once our seed is processed and bagged at our facilityfacilities in California and Idaho or at the facilities of third party processors in Southern Australia, the majority of it is marketed and sold as certified seed to agribusiness firms and farmers throughout the world for the growing of alfalfa hay. Our principal business is subject to uncertainty caused by various factors, which include but are not limited to the following: (i) our seed growers may decide to grow different crops when prices for alternative commodities are on the rise, which can impact our ability to produce seed; (ii) farmers who typically purchase our seed to grow alfalfa hay may plant alternative crops due to a decline in the dairy industry (and corresponding decline in demand for alfalfa hay) or to plant crops with greater profit margins and in either case, smaller quantities of our seed will be purchased; (iii) farmers may choose to convert their alfalfa hay crops to non-certified common seed resulting in an overabundance of non-certified seed entering the market and driving down the overall market price for alfalfa seed, including the market for certified alfalfa seed; (iv) the risks of internally farmed operations such as adverse agronomic decisions, weather conditions, natural disasters, crop disease, pests, lack of water and other natural conditions as well as other factors outside our control; and (v) the risks of doing business internationally following our acquisition of SGI. As a result of these factors and others, our revenue and margins can be difficult to project.

Our alfalfa seed business is largely dependent upon the dairy and livestock industries, each of which is subject to significant and localized cycles of over-supply and under-supply. Consequently, although we are subject to the volatility of local markets, the breadth of our market and the quality niche of our certified seed have resulted in relatively stable demand in most years. However, the supply of seed in the marketplace is subject to substantial swings.

From inception until 2003, almost allWe primarily sell our seed sales werethrough our network of distributors and dealers, as well as through the services of seed brokers. Our ability to distributors who exported our productssell both domestically and internationally can help to international markets. Modest sales effortscounteract a downturn in a particular market, although we cannot entirely safeguard against downturns occurring both domestically and internationally in the Western U.S. were initiated around 2003, andsame year. This has occurred in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010,past, such as we experienced in 2011, and could occur in the future, with an expected negative impact on our seed shipments were allocated approximately 51% to the domestic market and 49% to distributors who sold into international markets. In fiscal 2011, both markets were negatively impacted by events beyond our control. The domestic market continued to be impacted by the dairy industry downturn that begansales. Most recently, in fiscal 2009 when dairy prices declined due to over-supply. In normal years, we2014, a surplus of less expensive Australian seed had a negative impact on the market. Australian growers are typically able to offset this situation with sales toproduce seed at a lower cost, which in the case of strong overall supply, can result in downward pricing across the market. This downward pressure on pricing resulted in some of our distributors incompetitors selling into some of our other international markets. However, in fiscal 2011, ourmarkets, such as the Middle East distributor experienced the most challenging yearand North Africa, at discounted prices in its history dueorder to an over-supplygain market share in those regions. We have to be constantly cognizant of uncertified common seed being sold at significantly reduced prices. As a result of this over-supplythese shifting market factors as they can impact our markets in fiscal 2011, we and our distributor elected to hold back much of our certified proprietary seed rather than sell into the depressed market. Because of our decisions in fiscal 2011, we had strong levels of certified seed inventory available for sale in fiscal 2012 when mostparts of the common seed that glutted those marketsworld other than in fiscal 2011 had been sold out. This allowed us to meet expected demand and, to some extent, control pricing during ourthe region in which the development first year selling directly into international markets.arose. We plan to continue to expand our served markets and therefore minimize the risks associated with any specific geographic market.

Historically, ourOur alfalfa seed business has beenis seasonal, and historical sales have beenprior to the acquisition of SGI were concentrated in the first six months of our fiscal year (July through December). The acquisition of SGI in April 2013 providesprovided us with a geographically diversified and year-round production cycle, allowing us to carry sufficient levels of inventory throughout the year to respond to customer demands in a more consistent manner. With the recent Pioneer Acquisition, we expect that our first fiscal quarter will reflect our lowest percentage of sales and our third and fourth quarters will be our most significant sales quarters. This will likely mitigate (at least in part) the seasonality of our business as the fourth quarter is expected to be a significant sales quarter for our newly combined global operation. We contract with growers based upon our anticipated market demand. Also, we mill, clean and stock the seed during the respective harvest seasons and ship from inventorybusiness.

throughout the year. Tests show that seed that has been held in inventory for over one year improves in quality. Therefore, we may increase our seed purchases and planned season end inventory if, in our judgment, we can generate increased margins and revenue with the aged seed and we have sufficient capital to carry additional inventory. This will also reduce the potential for inventory shortages in the event that we have higher than anticipated demand or other factors, such as a reduction in our available seed supply in a particular year as a result of our growers electing to plant alternative, higher priced crops or adverse weather events.

Although we believe an opportunity existsOur principal business is subject to materially expanduncertainty caused by various factors, which include but are not limited to the following: (i) our seed growers may decide to grow different crops when prices for alternative commodities are on the rise, which can impact our ability to produce seed; (ii) farmers who typically purchase our seed to grow alfalfa seed business without substantially overhauling our operations, we could nevertheless encounter unforeseen problems. For example,hay may plant alternative crops due to a decline in fiscal 2011the dairy industry (and corresponding decline in demand for alfalfa hay) or to plant crops with greater profit margins and 2012, somein either case, resulting in smaller quantities of our seed growers electedbeing purchased; (iii) farmers may choose to grow alternativeconvert their alfalfa hay crops such as cotton, that yielded greater profit than alfalfa seed. And, this could reoccur from time to time as commodity prices shift. However, by first leasing farmlandnon-certified

common seed resulting in fiscal 2011,an overabundance of non-certified seed entering the market and then gaining long-term access to additional farmland indriving down the San Joaquin Valley of California through additional leases entered into in fiscal 2012, and farmland purchases and leases in fiscal 2013, we now have the ability to grow a portion of ouroverall market price for alfalfa seed, production ourselves, which could partially mitigate this risk in future years. Although we have an experienced farming management and operations staff, our recently implemented direct farming operations pose new challenges. As we obtain additional farmland, by lease or purchase, both our farming costs andincluding the market for certified alfalfa seed; (iv) the risks could continue to climb. And, the farming decisions we make could have a significant negative impact on our results of operations. Traditionally, we have contracted with growers to pay a set price for each pound of clean seed that is delivered to us. Therefore, we do not carry the farming risk on seed yield of that particular type of production and that risk is borne by the contracted seed grower. In our internally farmed operations we incursuch as adverse agronomic decisions, weather conditions, natural disasters, crop disease, pests, lack of water and other natural conditions as well as other factors outside our control; and (v) the risks of doing business internationally. As a numberresult of costs,these factors and therefore the amount seed yield directly impacts the cost per pound of seed produced which couldothers, our revenue and margins can be higher or lower than our contracted rate based on our abilitydifficult to achieve lower or higher yields. Nevertheless, we believe that by vertically integrating our alfalfa seed business to include our own production, we can leverage our management infrastructure, our experienced agronomics team and our milling capacity while reducing our costs and more directly controlling our inventory. Expanding our contracted grower base in the Imperial Valley of California and Southern Australia will provide a greater level of diversification of production and we expect it to allow us to grow and gain additional market share.project.

Up to this point, we have only sold non-genetically modified organism ("GMO") alfalfa seed varieties. In fiscal 2011, we encountered a new challenge created by the availability of Roundup Ready® alfalfa in the U.S. We are still uncertain as to the extent to which Roundup Ready® alfalfa might negatively impact our business, if at all. And,Moreover, the lack of regulations regarding field isolation could raise concerns about the adventitious presence of GMO material in our non-GMO seed. In fiscal 2012, the first year in which Roundup Ready® alfalfa was planted in the San Joaquin Valley, the presence of GMO traits in our fields was discovered, and furtherdiscovered. In fiscal 2013, the number of lots of our seed that tested positive for the adventitious presence of GMO material was recently discovered.greater than in fiscal 2012. We expect that there will continue to be some GMO presence in our seed, at least until such time as regulations are in place and enforced to require field isolation. Maintaining the integrity of our seed is critical to us as a large majority of our non-dormant customers are located within regions, including Saudi Arabia,MENA that substantially restrict or prohibit the importation of GMO seed varieties. We actively test for the presence of GMO in our seed stock in the San Joaquin Valley.stock. The presence of GMO alfalfa in significant amounts of our contracted seed production could severely limit the amount of seed that we have available to sell into Saudi ArabiaMENA and other locations that prohibit GMO seed varieties. Furthermore, due to widespread negative perception of GMO material, even if we were able to successfully remediate the accidental occurrenceadventitious presence of GMO in our seed production, there are no assurances that we would be able to achieve export sales to Saudi ArabiaMENA and other non-GMO locations at the same levels as we achieved before the accidental occurrenceadventitious presence of GMO.

We have entered into a series of agreements with Monsanto and Forage Genetics to produce and sell GMO alfalfa seed to certain regions of the world where GMO alfalfa seed is approved;seed; however, we are still conducting field trials on performance. Commercial production acreage will bewas planted in the Fallfall of 2014 for our first commercial harvest in the Fall of 2015.harvest. Once testing results have been approved by Monsanto, sales could commence as early as the Fallfall of 2015 but may not start until the Fallfall of 2016. Due to issues surrounding field isolation from GMO-based crops and the widespread ban of GMO-based crops in many international markets, including markets that are critical to our business, we must take particular care in the planting of any GMO-based alfalfa seed we grow.

We currently are using less than 25% of our mill capacity, providing ample opportunity for revenue growth without having to incur significant capital costs. In particular, we clean, process and bag seed and small grains for growers in the Five Points, California area during the periods in which we are not using the mill for our alfalfa seed business.

In fiscal 2010, we laid the groundwork for the commercial production of stevia in California's Central Valley by conducting trials on various samples of stevia material. Because stevia is a new line of business for us, and the incorporation of stevia extracts into food and beverages sold in the U.S. is still a relatively new industry, our plans may not succeed to the extent we expect or on the time schedule we have planned, or at all. We planted our first small-scale commercial crop of stevia in May and June 2011 and completed the first harvest and its first small-scale shipment of dried stevia leaf under a previously signed supply agreement during the second quarter of fiscal 2012. In May 2013, as the result of a stevia crop loss, we determined to shift the focus of our stevia program away from commercial production and towards further research and development of the stevia plant lines and breeding of improved varieties of stevia. We recorded a one-time crop loss on stevia totaling $2,333,123 for the year ended June 30, 2013.

In our breeding program, we have identified stevia plant lines containing high overall steviol glycosides, includingrebaudioside A ("Reb A"), stevioside, Reb B and Reb C. These plants have also been selected for their improved taste, production and hardiness. We have conducted extensive HPLC sample testing of stevia plants under development and have made further selections and crosses of these plants this season based upon test results. Selections so made are currently in multiple field trials. The resultsWe filed two patent applications during the second quarter of these trials (after further HPLC testing) should result in us filing patents in the fall of this year.

At this time, we are evaluating several strategies with respect to future commercial applications for our proprietary stevia, including commercial production of "dry leaf" stevia. We believe that a California-sourced product such as this will have wide appeal among those consumers seeking a natural, non-caloric, sugar substitute.fiscal 2015.

The $7,355,156, or 30%,$20,516,290 increase in revenue for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily dueattributable to the acquisition of IVS on October 1, 2012 which contributedsales under our distribution and production agreements with DuPont Pioneer. We are also experiencing an incremental $4.1 million of seed revenue in the current period compared to the same period in the prior year as prior year results only included six months of operations versus a full nine months in the current year. The increase can also be attributed to the acquisition of SGI which contributed $8.8 million of revenue in the current period. These increases were partially offset by a $5.5 million or 41% decrease in revenue from S&W's existing ("organic") business. The decreases in the company's S&W proprietary operations were due to a decrease in sales orders for the Middle East as we began to our main customersee recovery from the market surplus of low priced 2013 Australian crop that negatively impacted sales in Saudi Arabia.prior quarters.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our working capital and working capital requirements fluctuate from quarter to quarter depending on the phase of the growing and sales cycle that falls during a particular quarter. Our need for cash has historically been highest in the second and third fiscal quarters (October through March) because we typically payhistorically have paid our California contracted growers progressively, starting in the second quarter. In fiscal 2014,2015, we paid our California growers from our legacy business approximately 50% in October 2013,2014, and the remaining 50% was paid in February 2014. The acquisition of2015. SGI, anour Australian-based alfalfa seed company, in April 2013 provides the Company withsubsidiary, has a geographically diversified and year-round production cycle which will likely result in less quarter-to-quarter fluctuation in revenues;that is counter cyclical to North America; however, it will putalso puts a greater demand on our working capital and working capital requirements during the second, third and fourth quarters as the Company expectsbased on timing of payments to pay its Australian growers during these periods as well as our California growers in the second through fourth quarters. The grower base acquired in the recent Pioneer Acquisition will be paid on a schedule similar to our historical North American grower base. The timing of collection of receivables from DuPont Pioneer is defined in the distribution agreement with DuPont Pioneer, and consists of three installment payments, one in each of the second, third and fourth quarters. As a result of the Pioneer Acquisition, going forward we anticipate our working capital demands to be highest in second and third quarters.quarters due to the progressive payment schedule of our North American grower base.

Historically, due to the concentration of sales to certain distributors, and key customers, which typically represented a significant percentage of alfalfa seed sales, our month-to-month and quarter-to-quarter sales and associated cash receipts were highly dependent upon the timing of deliveries to and payments from these distributors, and customers, which varied significantly from year to year. Our future revenues and cash collections pertaining to the new production and distribution agreements with DuPont Pioneer will provide us with greater predictability as sales to DuPont Pioneer will be concentrated in our third and fourth quarters and payments will be received in three installments over the October to mid-April time period.

We continuously monitor and evaluate our credit policies with all of our customers based on historical collection experience, current economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of the respective trade accounts receivable balance. Our principal working capital components include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expense and other current assets, accounts payable and our working capital lines of credit.

In May 2012,addition to funding our business with cash from operations, we have historically relied upon occasional sales of our securities and credit facilities from financial institutions, both in California and South Australia. We are currently in discussions with several financial institutions regarding the expansion and replacement of our working capital lines of credit, which mature on July 1, 2015.

Concurrently, we signed an agreement with the purchaser of the Calipatria farmland for continued alfalfa seed production of our proprietary alfalfa seed varieties on a contracted basis. In March 2015, we closed on the sale of the 759 acres of farmland, and we used the proceeds to pay-off the existing $2.2 million Wells Fargo Term Loan, and we utilized the remaining proceeds to prepay $5,000,000 on of the convertible debentures issued in December 2014.

At March 31, 2015, the Company has outstanding $22,000,000 in principal amount of the debentures following the real estate sale redemption. The reduction in principal was applied on the back end of the term, loan, we are also required to pay both monthly and annual principal reduction as follows: The first installment of monthly principal repayments commenced in August 2012 and continued at a fixed amount per month untilresult, does not reduce the first annual increase in July 2013.

We received proceeds, net of fees and expenses, of $5.2 million as of March 31, 2013. We also entered into a long-term loan with Wells Fargo generating proceeds of $2.6 million all of which were used for the purchase of Imperial Valley farmland

Inflation Risk

We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2014.2015.

41


Capital Resources and Requirements

Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced by numerous factors, including:

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and the use of accounting estimates are set forth in the footnotes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In preparing our financial statements, we must select and apply various accounting policies. Our most significant policies are described in Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies set forth in the notes to the financial statements. In order to apply our accounting policies, we often need to make estimates based on judgments about future events. In making such estimates, we rely on historical experience, market and other conditions, and on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. However, the estimation process is by its nature uncertain given that estimates depend on events over which we may not have control. If market and other conditions change from those that we anticipate, our results of operations, financial condition and changes in financial condition may be materially affected. In addition, if our assumptions change, we may need to revise our estimates, or to take other corrective actions, either of which may also have a material effect on our results of operations, financial condition or changes in financial condition. Members of

41


our senior management have discussed the development and selection of our critical accounting estimates, and our disclosure regarding them, with the audit committee of our board of directors, and do so on a regular basis.

We believe that the following estimates have a higher degree of inherent uncertainty and require our most significant judgments. In addition, had we used estimates different from any of these, our results of operations, financial condition or changes in financial condition for the current period could have been materially different from those presented.

Intangible Assets: All amortizable intangible assets are assessed for impairment whenever events indicate a possible loss. Such an assessment involves estimating undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the intangible. If the review indicates that undiscounted cash flows are less than the recorded value of the intangible asset, the carrying amount of the intangible is reduced by the estimated cash-flow shortfall on a discounted basis, and a corresponding loss is charged to the consolidated statement of operations. Significant changes in key assumptions about the business, market conditions and prospects for which the intangible asset is currently utilized or expected to be utilized could result in an impairment charge.

42


Stock-Based Compensation: We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 Stock Compensation, which establishes accounting for equity instruments exchanged for employee services. Under such provisions, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense, under the straight-line method, over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).

We account for equity instruments, including stock options issued to non-employees, in accordance with authoritative guidance for equity basedequity-based payments to non-employees (FASB ASC 505-50). Stock options issued to non-employees are accounted for at their estimated fair value. The fair value of options granted to non-employees is re-measured as they vest.

We useBeginning with the lattice valuationquarter ended December 31, 2014, we adopted the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options granted under share-based compensation plans. The lattice valuationBlack-Scholes-Merton model requires us to estimate a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the expected term of the award, stock price volatility, dividend rate, risk-free interest rate, attrition rate, and exercise rate. The input factors to use in the valuation model are based on subjective future expectations combined with management judgment. The expected term used represents the weighted-average period that the stock options are expected to be outstanding. We have used the historical volatility for our stock for the expected volatility assumption required in the lattice model, as it is more representative of future stock price trends. We use a risk-free interest rate that is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issued with an equivalent remaining term at the time of grant. We have not paid dividends in the past and currently do not plan to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future, and as such, dividend yield is assumed to be zero for the purposes of valuing the stock options granted. We evaluate the assumptions used to value stock awards on a quarterly basis. If factors change and we employ different assumptions, share-based compensation expense may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the past. When there are any modifications or cancellations of the underlying unvested securities, we may be required to accelerate, increase or cancel any remaining unearned share-based compensation expense. To the extent that we grant additional equity securities to employees, our share-based compensation expense will be increased by the additional unearned compensation resulting from those additional grants.

Income Taxes:We regularly assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent management believes that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established. When a valuation allowance is established or increased, an income tax charge is included in the consolidated financial statements and net deferred tax assets are adjusted accordingly. Changes in tax laws, statutory tax rates and estimates of the Company'sour future taxable income levels could result in actual realization of the deferred tax assets being materially different from the amounts provided for in the consolidated financial statements. If the actual recovery amount of the deferred tax asset is less than anticipated, we would be required to write-off the remaining deferred tax asset and increase the tax provision, resulting in a reduction of net income and stockholders' equity.

4342


Inventories: All inventories are accounted for on a lower of cost or market basis. Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods as well as in the ground crop inventories. Depending on market conditions, the actual amount received on sale could differ from our estimated value of inventory. In order to determine the value of inventory at the balance sheet date, we evaluate a number of factors to determine the adequacy of provisions for inventory. The factors include the age of inventory, the amount of inventory held by type, future demand for products and the expected future selling price we expect to realize by selling the inventory. Our estimates are judgmental in nature and are made at a point in time, using available information, expected business plans and expected market conditions. We perform a review of our inventory by product line on a quarterly basis.

Our subsidiary, SGI, does not fix the final price for seed payable to its growers until the completion of a given year's sales cycle pursuant to its standard contract production agreement. We record an estimated unit price, accordingly, inventory, cost of goods soldrevenue and gross profits are based upon management's best estimate of the final purchase price to our SGI growers. To the extent the estimated purchase price varies from the final purchase price for seed, the adjustment to actual could materially impact the results in the period when the difference between estimates and actuals are identified. If the actual purchase price is in excess of our estimated purchase price, this would negatively impact our financial results including a reduction in gross profits and net income.

Recently Adopted and Recently Enacted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which requires companies to report, in one place, information about significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI, and disclose more information about changes in AOCI balances. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists, which provides guidance for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. We will adopt the standard effective July 1, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We are a smaller reporting company and therefore, we are not required to provide information required by this item of Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014.2015. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2014,2015, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) or in other factors that occurred during the period of our evaluation or subsequent to the date we carried out our evaluation which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Potential investors should be aware that the design of any system of controls and procedures is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any system of controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any material legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on September 29, 2014, except as set forth in our Registration Statement on Form S-3, filed on January 30, 2013.2015 and any amendments or supplements thereto, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended December 31, 2014, which was filed on February 17, 2015, and as follows:

We have had a material concentration of revenue from a small group of customers that fluctuates, and the loss of any of these customers in any quarter could have a material adverse effect on our revenue.

On a historical basis, we have experienced a material concentration of revenue from a small group of customers. This concentration fluctuates from quarter to quarter, depending on our customer's specific requirements, which are themselves cyclical. However, in any particular quarter, we generally have a small group of customers that accounts for a substantial portion of that quarter's revenue. Most of these customers are not contractually obligated to purchase seed from us. The loss of one or more of these customers on a quarterly basis, when taken year over year, could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations and operating cash flows. We could also suffer a material adverse effect from any losses arising from a major customer's disputes regarding shipments, product quality or related matters, or from our inability to collect accounts receivable from any major customer. There are no assurances that we will be able to maintain our current customer relationships or that they will continue to purchase our seed in the current projected quantities. Any failure to do so may materially adversely impact our business.
