Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Landec have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10 -Q and Article 10 of Regulation S- X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) have been made which are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at August 27, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. Although Landec believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying financial data should be reviewed in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes included in Landec's Annual Report on Form 10 -K for the fiscal year ended May 28, 2017 . The results of operations for the three months ended August 27, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year because there is some seasonality in Apio’s food business, particularly, Apio’s export business , and the order patterns of Lifecore’s customers which may lead to significant fluctuations in Landec’s quarterly results of operations.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of Landec Corporation and its subsidiaries, Apio and Lifecore. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are reviewed under the guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). A company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities , and operations of a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. An entity is a VIE and subject to consolidation, if by design: a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any party, including equity holders , or b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics: (i) the power, through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The Company reviewed the consolidation guidance and concluded that its partnership interest in Apio Cooling, LP and its equity investment in the non-public company are not VIEs.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting estimates that require management’s most significant and subjective judgments include revenue recognition; loss contingencies; sales returns and allowances; inventories; self-insurance liabilities; recognition and measurement of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities; the assessment of recoverability of long-lived assets including intangible assets; the valuation of investments; and the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation and contingent liabilities . These estimates involve the consideration of complex factors and require management to make judgments. The analysis of historical and future trends can require extended periods of time to resolve and are subject to change from period to period. The actual results may differ from management’s estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company records all highly liquid securities with three months or less from date of purchase to maturity as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist mainly of money market funds. The market value of cash equivalents approximates their historical cost given their short-term nature.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost ( first -in, first -out method) or net realizable value and consist of the following (in thousands):
|  | August 27 , 2017 |  |  | May 28, 2017 |
Raw materials |  | $ | 11,688 |  |  | $ | 10,158 |
Work in progress |  |  | 3,847 |  |  |  | 3,447 |
Finished goods |  |  | 12,604 |  |  |  | 11,685 |
Total |  | $ | 28,139 |  |  | $ | 25,290 |
If the cost of the inventories exceeds their net realizable value, provisions are recorded currently to reduce them to net realizable value. The Company also records a provision for slow moving and obsolete inventories based on the estimate of demand for its products.
Related Party Transactions Policy [Policy Text Block] | Related Party Transactions The Company sells products to and earns license fees from Windset. During the three months ended August 27, 2017 and August 28, 2016, the Company recognized revenues of $104,000 and $118,000, respectively. These amounts have been included in product sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The related receivable balances of $195,000 and $388,000 are included in accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 27, 2017 and May 28, 2017, respectively. All related party transactions are monitored quarterly by the Company and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Debt Issuance Costs The Company records its line of credit debt issuance costs as an asset, and as such, $120,000 and $367 ,000 was recorded as prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, as of August 27, 2017, and $120,000 and $399,000, respectively, as of May 28, 2017. The Company records its term debt issuance costs as a contra-liability, and as such, $60,000 and $186,000 was recorded as current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt, respectively, as of August 27, 2017 and $60,000 and $201,000, respectively, as of May 28, 2017. See Note 7 – Debt of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Financial Instruments The Company ’s financial instruments are primarily composed of commercial-term trade payables, grower advances, notes receivable , and debt instruments. For short-term instruments, the historical carrying amount approximates the fair value of the instrument. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value . Cash Flow Hedges The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage interest rate risk. This derivative instrument may offset a portion of the changes in interest expense. The Company designates this derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge. The Company accounts for its derivative instrument as either an asset or a liability and carries it at fair value in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative instrument and the resulting designation. For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that are designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the g ain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Stockholders’ Equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in earnings in the current period. To receive hedge accounting treatment, cash flow hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to expected future cash flows on hedged transactions. Other Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and Other Comprehensive Income (“ OCI”). OCI refers to revenue, expenses, and gains and losses that under GAAP are recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity but are excluded from net income. The Company’s OCI consists of net deferred gains and losses on its interest rate swap derivative instrument accounted for as a cash flow hedge. The components of OCI, net of tax, are as follows (in thousands):
|  | Unrealized Gains on Cash Flow Hedge |
Balance as of May 28, 2017 |  | $ | 432 |
Other comprehensive loss before reclassifications, net of tax effect |  |  | (103 | )
Amounts reclassified from OCI |  |  | — |
Other comprehensive income, net |  |  | 329 |
Balance as of A ugust 27, 2017 |  | $ | 329 |
The Company does not expect any transactions or other events to occur that would result in the reclassification of any significant gains or losses into earnings in the next 12 months.
Investment In Non Public Companies [Policy Text Block] | Investment in Non-Public Company On Februa ry 15, 2011, the Company made its initial investment in Windset Holdings 2010 Ltd. (“Windset”) which is reported as an investment in non-public company, fair value, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 27, 2017 and May 28, 2017. The Company has elected to account for its investment in Windset under the fair value option. See Note 3 – Investment in Non-public Company for further information.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Intangible Assets The Company ’s intangible assets are comprised of customer relationships with a finite estimated useful life of eleven to thirteen years , and trademarks, tradenames and goodwill with indefinite useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for possib le impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. Indefinite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually. For goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets, the Company performs a qualitative impairment analysis in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350 - 30 - 35.
Self Insurance Reserve [Policy Text Block] | Partial Self-Insurance on Employee Health and Workers Compensation Plans The Company provides health insurance benefits to eligible employees under self-insured plans whereby the Company pays actual medical claims subject to certain stop loss limits and self-insures its workers compensation claims. The Company records self-insurance liabilities based on actual claims filed and an estimate of those claims incurred but not reported. Any projection of losses concerning the Company's liability is subject to a high degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors such as inflation rates, changes in severity, benefit level changes, medical costs, and claims settlement patterns. This self-insurance liability is included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and represents management's best estimate of the amounts that have not been paid as of August 27, 2017 and May 28, 2017. It is reasonably possible that the expense the Company ultimately incurs could differ and adjustments to future reserves may be necessary.
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Fair Value Measurements The Company uses fair value measurement accounting for finan cial assets and liabilities and for financial instruments and certain other items measured at fair value. The Company has elected the fair value option for its investment in a non-public company. See Note 3 – Investment in Non-public Company for further information. The Company has not elected the fair value option for any of its other eligible financial assets or liabilities. The accounting guidance established a three -tier hierarchy for fair value measurements, which prioritizes the inputs used in measu ring fair value as follows: Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data. Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which would require the Company to develop its own assumptions. As of August 27, 2017 and May 28, 2017, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including its interest rate swap and its minority interest investment in Windset . The fair value of the Company ’s interest rate swap is determined based on model inputs that can be observed in a liquid market, including yield curves, and is categorized as a Level 2 measurement investment and is recorded as Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for its investment in Windset. The calculatio n of fair value utilizes significant unobservable inputs, including projected cash flows, growth rates , and discount rates. As a result, the Company’s investment in Windset is considered to be a Level 3 measurement investment. The change in the fair value of the Company’s investment in Windset for the three months ended August 27, 2017 was due to the Company’s 26.9% minority interest in the change in the fair market value of Windset during the period. In determining the fair value of the investment in Windset, the Company utilizes the following significant unobservable inputs in the discounted cash flow models:
|  | At August 27, 2017 |  |  | At May 28, 2017
Revenue growth rates |  |  | 4% |  |  |  | 4% |  |
Expense growth rates |  |  | 4% |  |  |  | 4% |  |
Income tax rates |  |  | 15% |  |  |  | 15% |  |
Discount rates |  |  | 12% |  |  |  | 12% |  |
The revenue growth, expense growth , and income tax rate assumptions are considered the Company's best estimate of the trends in those items over the discount period. The discount rate assumption takes into account the risk-free rate of return, the market equity risk premium, and the company’s specific risk premium and then applies an additional discount for lack of liquidity of the underlying securities. The discounted cash flow valuation model used by the Company has the following sensitivity to changes in inputs and assumptions (in thousands):
|  | Impact on value of investment in Windset as of August 27, 2017 |
10% increase in revenue growth rates |  | $ | 7,300 |
10% increase in expense growth rates |  | $ | (1,800 | )
10% increase in income tax rates |  | $ | (500 | )
10% increase in discount rates |  | $ | (4,500 | )
Imprecision in estimating unobservable market inputs can affect the amount of gain or loss recorded for a particular position. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
|  | Fair Value at August 27, 2017 |  |  | Fair Value at May 28, 2017 |
Assets: |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Revenue Recognition See Note 9 – Business Segment Reporting, for a discussion about the Company’s four business segments; namely, Packaged Fresh Vegetables, Food Export, Biomaterials, and Other . Revenue from product sales is recognized when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, title has transferred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Allowances are established for estimated uncollectible amounts, product returns, and discounts based on specific identification and historical losses. Apio ’s Packaged Fresh Vegetables revenues generally consist of revenues generated from the sale of specialty packaged fresh-cut and whole value-added vegetable products that are generally washed and packaged in Apio’s proprietary packaging and sold under Apio’s Eat Smart and GreenLine brands and various private labels. Revenue is generally recognized upon shipment of these products to customers. The Company takes title to all produce it trades and/or packages, and therefore, records revenues and cost of sales at gross amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In addition, Packaged Fresh Vegetables revenues include the revenues generated from Apio Cooling, LP, a vegetable cooling operation in which Apio is the general partner with a 60% ownership position, and from the sale of BreatheWay® packaging to license partners. Revenue is recognized on the vegetable cooling operations as cooling and storage services are provided to Apio’s customers. Sales of BreatheWay packaging are recognized when shipped to Apio’s customers. Apio ’s Food Export revenues consist of revenues generated from the purchase and sale of primarily whole commodity fruit and vegetable products to Asia through its subsidiary, Cal-Ex Trading Company (“Cal-Ex”). As most Cal-Ex customers are in countries outside of the U.S., title transfers and revenue is generally recognized upon arrival of the shipment in the foreign port. Apio records revenue equal to the sale price to third parties because it takes title to the product while in transit. Lifecore ’s Biomaterials business principally generates revenue through the sale of products containing HA. Lifecore primarily sells products to customers in three medical areas: ( 1 ) Ophthalmic, which represented approximately 65% of Lifecore’s revenues in fiscal year 2017, ( 2 ) Orthopedic, which represented approximately 15% of Lifecore’s revenues in fiscal year 2017, and ( 3 ) Other/Non-HA products, which represented approximately 20% of Lifecore’s revenues in fiscal year 2017. The vast majority of Lifecore’s revenues are recognized upon shipment. Lifecore ’s business development revenues, a portion of which are included in all three medical areas, are related to contract research and development (“R&D”) services and multiple element arrangement services with customers where the Company provides products and/or services in a bundled arrangement. Contract R&D revenue is recorded as earned, based on the performance requirements of the contract. Non-refund able contract fees for which no further performance obligations exist, and there is no continuing involvement by the Company, are recognized on the earlier of when the payment is received or collection is assured. For sales arrangements that contain mult iple elements, the Company splits the arrangement into separate units of accounting if the individually delivered elements have value to the customer on a standalone basis. The Company also evaluates whether multiple transactions with the same customer or related party should be considered part of a multiple element arrangement, whereby the Company assesses, among other factors, whether the contracts or agreements are negotiated or executed within a short time frame of each other or if there are indicators that the contracts are negotiated in contemplation of each other. The Company then allocates revenue to each element based on a selling price hierarchy. The relative selling price for a deliverable is based on its vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), if available, third -party evidence (“TPE”), if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price, if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. The Company then recognizes revenue on each deliverable in accordance with its policies for product and service revenue recognition. The Company is not typically able to determine VSOE or TPE, and; therefore, uses the estimated selling price to allocate revenue between the elements of an arrangement. The Company limits the amount of revenue recognition for delivered el ements to the amount that is not contingent on the future delivery of products or services or future performance obligations or subject to customer-specific cancellation rights. The Company evaluates each deliverable in an arrangement to determine whether it represents a separate unit of accounting. A deliverable constitutes a separate unit of accounting when it has stand-alone value, and for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered products or services, delivery or performance of the undelivered product or service is considered probable and is substantially controlled by the Company. The Company considers a deliverable to have stand-alone value if the product or service is sold separately by the Company or another vendor or could be resold by the customer. Further, the revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of return relative to delivered products. Where the aforementioned criteria for a separate unit of accounting are not met, the deliverable is combined with the undelivered element(s) and treated as a single unit of accounting for the purposes of allocation of the arrangement consideration and revenue recognition. The Company allocates the total arrangement consideration to each separable element of an arrangement based upon the relative selling price of each element. Allocation of the consideration is determined at arrangement inception on the basis of each unit’s relative selling price. In instances where the Company has not established fair value for any undelivered element, revenue for all elements is deferred until delivery of the final element is completed and all recognition criteria are met. For licensing revenue, the initial license fees are deferred and amortized to revenue over the pe riod of the agreement when a contract exists, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Noncancellable, nonrefundable license fees are recognized over the period of the agreement, including those governing R&D activities and any related supply agreement entered into concurrently with the license when the risk associated with commercialization of a product is non-substantive at the outset of the arrangement. From time to time, the Company offers custo mers sales incentives, which include volume rebates and discounts. These amounts are estimated on a quarterly basis and recorded as a reduction of revenue. A summary of revenues by type of arrangement as described above is as follows (in thousands):
|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | August 27 , 2017 |  |  | August 28, 2016 |
Recorded upon shipment |  | $ | 113,121 |  |  | $ | 105,588 |
Recorded upon acceptance in foreign port |  |  | 7,576 |  |  |  | 23,339 |
Revenue from multiple element arrangements |  |  | 1,746 |  |  |  | 1,585 |
Revenue from license fees, R&D contracts and royalties/profit sharing |  |  | 914 |  |  |  | 1,882 |
Total |  | $ | 123,357 |  |  | $ | 132,394 |
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Legal Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and claims. The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least each fiscal quarter and adju sted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimate settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter. Legal fees are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Apio has been the target of a union organizing campaign which has included two unsuccessful attempts to unionize Apio's Guadalupe, California processing plant. The campaign has involved a union and over 100 former and current employees of Pacific Harvest, Inc. and Rancho Harvest, Inc. (collectively "Pacific Harvest"), Apio's labor contractors at its Guadalupe, California processing facility, bringing legal actions before various state and federal agencies, the California Superior Court, and initiating over 100 individual arbitrations against Apio and Pacific Harvest. The legal actions consist of three main types of claims: ( 1 ) Unfair Labor Practice claims ("ULPs") before the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), ( 2 ) discrimination/wrongful termination claims before state and federal agencies and in individual arbitrations, and ( 3 ) wage and hour claims as part of two Private Attorney General Act (“PAGA”) cases in state court and in over 100 individual arbitrations. A settlement of the ULPs among the union, Apio, and Pacific Harvest that were pending before the NLRB was approved on December 27, 2016 for $310,000. Apio was responsible for half of this settlement, or $155,000. On May 5, 2017, the parties to the remaining actions executed a settlement agreement concerning the discrimination/wrongful termination claims and the wage and hour claims which covers all non-exempt employees of Pacific Harvest working at Apio's Guadalupe, California processing facility from September 2011 through the settlement date. Under the settlement agreement, the plaintiffs are to be paid $6.0 million in three installments: $2.4 million, which was paid on July 3, 2017, $1.8 million due in November 2017 and $1.8 million due in July 2018. The Company and Pacific Harvest have each agreed to pay one half of the settlement payments. The Company paid the entire first installment of $2.4 million on July 3, 2017 and will be reimbursed by Pacific Harvest for its $1.2 million portion which is included in Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. This receivable will be repaid through weekly payments until fully paid, which the Company expects to occur by December 2020. Based on our current agreement with Pacific Harvest, the Company may also pay the entire second installment of $1.8 million in November 2017, and, if so, will be reimbursed by Pacific Harvest as indicated above. The Company and Pacific Harvest will both make one half of the third installment in July 2018. The Company’s recourse against non-payment by Pacific Harvest is its security interest in assets owned by Pacific Harvest. As of August 27, 2017 and May 28, 2017, the Company had accrued $2.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, related to these actions, which is included in Other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Rece nt Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014 - 09, which creates FASB ASC Topic 606 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers and supersedes ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASU 2014 - 09” ). The guidance replaces industry-specific guidance and establishes a single five -step model to identify and recognize revenue. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the guidance requires the entity to disclose further quantitative and qualitative information regarding the nature and amount of revenues arising from contracts with customers, as well as other information about the significant judgments and estimates used in recognizing revenues from contracts with customers. Since its original issuance, the FASB has issued several additional related ASUs to address implementation concerns and to further clarify certain guidance within ASU 2014 - 09. The Company will adopt these updates beginning with the first quarter of its fiscal year 2019 and anticipates doing so using the full retrospective method, which will require restatement of each prior reporting period presented. Currently, the Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014 - 09. As a result, the Company h as initially identified the following core revenue streams from its contracts with customers:
| ● | Finished goods product sales (Packaged Fresh Vegetables);
| ● | Shipping and handling (Packaged Fresh Vegetables);
| ● | Buy-sell product sales (Food Export);
| ● | Product develo pment and contract manufacturing arrangements (Biomaterials).
The Company ’s assessment efforts to date have included reviewing current accounting policies, processes, and systems requirements, as well assigning internal resources and third -party consultants to assist in the process. Additionally, the Company has begun to review historical contracts and other arrangements to identify potential differences that could arise from the adoption of ASU 2014 - 09. Most notably, the Company is evaluating its current conclusions with respect to gross versus net revenue reporting for its Food Export business, as well as the timing of revenue recognition for its product development contract manufacturing arrangements in its Biomaterials business, to determine whether the application of ASU 2014 - 09 necessitates changes to such reporting. Beyond its core revenue streams, and the items listed above, the Company is also evaluating the impact of ASU 2014 - 09 on certain ancillary transactions and other arrangements. Currently, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the impact the application of ASU 2014 - 09 will have upon its consolidated financial statements. The Company continues to assess the impact of ASU 2014 - 09, along with industry trends and additional interpretive guidance, on its core revenue streams, and as a result of the continued assessment, the Company may modify its plan of adoption accordingly. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016 - 02, Leases (Topic 842 ) (“ASU 2016 - 02” ), which requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use-assets. ASU 2016 - 02 also requires improved disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The Company will adopt ASU 2016 - 02 beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020 on a modified retrospective basis . The Company is currently in the process of evalua ting the impact that ASU 2016 - 02 will have upon its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company’s assessment efforts to date have included:
| ● | Reviewing the provisions of ASU 2016 - 02;
| ● | Gathering information to evaluate its lease pop ulation and portfolio;
| ● | Evaluating the nature of its real and personal property and other arrangements that may meet the definition of a lease; and
| ● | Evaluating systems’ readiness .
As a result of these efforts, the Company currently anticipates that the ado ption of ASU 2016 - 02 will have a significant impact to its long-term assets and liabilities, as, at a minimum, virtually all of its leases designated as operating leases are expected to be reported on the consolidated balance sheets. The pattern of recognition for operating leases within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income is not anticipated to significantly change.
