Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | 2. Acquisitions GreenLine Holding Company On April 23, 2012 (the “GreenLine Acquisition Date”), Apio acquired all of the outstanding equity of GreenLine under a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “GreenLine Purchase Agreement”) in order to expand its product offerings and enter into new markets such as foodservice. GreenLine, headquartered in Bowling Green, Ohio, was a privately-held company and is the leading processor and marketer of value-added, fresh-cut green beans in North America. GreenLine has four processing and distribution plants one each in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and California and distribution centers in New York and South Carolina. Under the GreenLine Purchase Agreement, the aggregate consideration paid at closing consisted of $62.9 million in cash. In addition, the GreenLine Purchase Agreement included a potential earn out payment up to $7.0 million in the event that GreenLine achieved certain revenue targets during calendar year 2012. The earn out was comprised of $4.0 million for achieving a certain revenue target during calendar year 2012, and up to an additional $3.0 million for exceeding the revenue target by $3.0 million or more. In April 2012, the Company performed an analysis of projected revenues for GreenLine and concluded at that time that it was probable that GreenLine would meet, but not exceed, the initial revenue target and therefore, the Company recorded a $3.9 million liability as of May 27, 2012, representing the present value of the expected earn out payment. As a result of the severe drought in the Midwest during 2012, lower than expected results from new product launches and new planned business not being realized, during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company determined that GreenLine did not achieve the earn out revenue target. As a result, the Company reversed the $3.9 million liability recorded for the earn out and recorded a corresponding credit to other operating expenses in its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for fiscal year 2013. The operating results of GreenLine are included in the Company’s financial statements beginning April 23, 2012, in the Food Products Technology operating segment. Included in the Company’s results for the fiscal year 2012 was $9.1 million of GreenLine’s net sales. Intangible Assets The Company identified two intangible assets in connection with the GreenLine acquisition: trade names and trademarks valued at $36.0 million, which are considered to be indefinite life assets and therefore, will not be amortized; and customer base valued at $7.5 million with a thirteen year useful life. The trade name/trademark intangible asset was valued using the relief from royalty valuation method and the customer relationship intangible asset was valued using the distributor method. Goodwill The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was $13.2 million on the closing date, which represents the goodwill amount resulting from the acquisition which can be attributable to GreenLine’s long history, future prospects and the expected operating synergies from combining GreenLine with Apio’s fresh-cut, value-added vegetable business. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Company will test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or sooner, if indicators of impairment are present. ‘Acquisition-Related Transaction Costs The Company recognized $1.4 million of acquisition-related expenses that were expensed in the year ended May 27, 2012 and are included in other operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the year ended May 27, 2012. These expenses included investment banker fees, legal, accounting and tax service fees and appraisals fees.
