Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of presentation and consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its consolidated subsidiaries and variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which we are the primary beneficiary and have a controlling interest. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All intercompany balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Consolidation of VIE
On May 1, 2022, a reconsideration event (explained in Note 3) occurred related to Moruga S.A.C., an entity for which we have a 60% equity ownership interest. Moruga S.A.C. is a holding company with one wholly owned subsidiary Blueberries Peru, S.A.C. (collectively referred to as “Moruga”). Moruga was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting, where investments are stated at initial cost and adjusted for subsequent additional investments and our proportionate share of earnings or losses and distributions. As a result of the reconsideration event, we concluded that Moruga is a VIE, and that the Company is the primary beneficiary with a controlling financial interest. Based on this conclusion, Moruga was prospectively consolidated on May 1, 2022.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less and money market mutual funds to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.
Restricted cash represents cash and cash equivalents that are restricted to withdrawal or use as of the reporting date under contractual terms or regulatory requirements. As of October 31, 2022 and 2021, the restricted cash balance related to statutory requirements to support various programs at the Company’s farms. Restricted cash is included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows.
Trade accounts receivable
Trade accounts receivable are reported at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect its estimate of the uncollectability of the trade accounts receivable based on past collection history, the identification of specific potential customer risks, and other factors.
Grower and fruit advances
The Company makes advances to growers and foreign suppliers who supply fruit to the Company. Such advances reduce amounts otherwise due to the growers or suppliers for fruit sales.
Other accounts receivable
Other accounts receivable represent non-trade receivables and primarily consist of value-added taxes (“VAT”) collected on behalf of tax authorities. VAT included in other accounts receivable was $14.4 million and $11.0 million as of October 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Inventory
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method for finished goods and raw materials. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
Crop growing costs are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are deferred and charged to cost of goods sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The deferred crop growing costs included in inven
