PART I-FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Although Partnership liquidity continues to decrease as production
costs for the 2000 crop continue, the Partnership will have sufficient
liquidity to complete the harvest and delivery of the current crop. The
Almond Board has released the 23% 1999 crop reserve due to good sales. The
release of this reserve should have the effect of increasing income from
the 1999 crop by $0.20 to $0.25 per pound.
Results of Operations
The Partnership continued to operate at a break-even rate in the third
quarter 2000. This result is not indicative of the results for the entire
fiscal year, due to the seasonal nature of the almond growing business.
Almonds are harvested in August through October and the crop revenues and
expenses are recognized at that time. Since the partnership's crop care has
not been completed for this growing season, it is not possible to say if
cultural costs will be higher or lower than last year's costs. At this time
though, it seems that cultural costs will be substantially the same as last
year.
Because of the poor weather during the almond pollination in February
and March, the 2000 crop is expected to be smaller than the 1999 crop. It
is to early to determine what the projected 2000 almond prices will be.
