NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Landec Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Landec” or the “Company”) design, develop, manufacture, and sell differentiated products for food and biomaterials markets, and license technology applications to partners.
The Company sells specialty packaged branded Eat Smart® and private label fresh-cut vegetables and whole produce to retailers, club stores, and food service operators, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also sells premier specialty olive oils and wine vinegars under its O Olive Oil & Vinegar® (“O”) brand to natural food, conventional grocery and mass retail stores primarily in the United States and Canada. The majority of Yucatan® and Cabo Fresh® branded guacamole and avocado products are sold in the U.S. grocery channel, but they are also sold in U.S. mass retail, Canadian grocery retail and foodservice channels.
Landec's food company, Curation Foods, Inc. (“Curation Foods”) serves as the corporate umbrella for a portfolio of four natural food brands, including the Company’s flagship brand Eat Smart as well as three emerging natural food brands, consisting of O olive oil and vinegar products, and its two new brands, Yucatan and Cabo Fresh authentic guacamole and avocado products, acquired by the Company through the acquisition of Yucatan Foods on December 1, 2018. O, Yucatan and Cabo Fresh are referred to collectively as “Emerging Brands”. See Note 2 - Acquisitions for more details.
The Company has two proprietary polymer technology platforms: 1) Intelimer® polymers, and 2) hyaluronan (“HA”) biopolymers.
The Company sells HA-based and non-HA biomaterials through its Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (“Lifecore”) subsidiary. The Company’s HA biopolymers and non-HA materials are proprietary in that they are specially formulated for specific customers to meet strict regulatory requirements.
The Company’s technologies, along with its customer relationships and tradenames, are the foundation and key differentiating advantages upon which Landec has built its business.
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 25, 2019 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 26, 2019.
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period that ends on the last Sunday of May with quarters within each year ending on the last Sunday of August, November, and February; however, in instances where the last Sunday would result in a quarter being 12-weeks in length, the Company’s policy is to extend that quarter to the following Sunday. A 14th week is included in the fiscal year every five or six years to realign the Company’s fiscal quarters with calendar quarters.
In May 2019, the Company discontinued the Now Planting business. As a result, the Now Planting business, which was launched during the second quarter of fiscal year 2019, has been reclassified as a discontinued operation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations ("ASC 205-20") for the three months ended August 26, 2018.
The results of operations for the three months ended August 25, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year because there is some seasonality in Curation Foods’ business and the order patterns of Lifecore’s customers which may lead to significant fluctuations in Landec’s quarterly results of operations.

Table of Contents
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, Curation Foods and Lifecore. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The financial results of Yucatan Foods have been included in our consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition on December 1, 2018.
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 parties, 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 the partnership interest and equity investment in the non-public company are not VIEs.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
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 and inventory; the valuation of investments; and the valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation.
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
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.
Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash as presented on the Statements of Cash Flows
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

(In thousands) | August 25, 2019 |  | May 26, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,990 |  |  | $ | 1,080 |
Restricted cash | 385 |  |  | 385 |
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 2,375 |  |  | $ | 1,465 |

Restricted Cash
The Company was required to maintain $0.4 million of restricted cash at August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019 related to certain collateral requirements for obligations under its workers' compensation programs. The restricted cash is included in Other assets in the Company’s accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
-6-

Table of Contents
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 25, 2019 |  | May 26, 2019
Raw materials | $ | 23,417 |  |  | $ | 23,195 |
Work in progress | 5,985 |  |  | 4,189 |
Finished goods | 25,618 |  |  | 26,748 |
Total | $ | 55,020 |  |  | $ | 54,132 |

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
The Company sells products to and earns license fees from Windset Holdings 2010 Ltd. (“Windset”). During both the three months ended August 25, 2019 and August 26, 2018, the Company recognized revenues of $0.1 million. These amounts have been included in product sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The related receivable balances of $0.2 million and $0.5 million are included in Accounts receivable in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019, respectively.
All related party transactions are monitored quarterly by the Company and approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.
Debt Issuance Costs
The Company records its line of credit debt issuance costs as an asset, and as such, $0.2 million and $0.2 million were recorded as Prepaid expenses and other current assets, and Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of August 25, 2019 and $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as of May 26, 2019. The Company records its term debt issuance costs as a contra-liability, and as such, $0.2 million and $0.3 million was recorded as Current portion of long-term debt, and Long-term debt net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively, as of August 25, 2019 and $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively, as of May 26, 2019.
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 has entered into interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate risk. These derivative instruments may offset a portion of the changes in interest expense. The Company designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. The Company’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements. These arrangements include provisions to setoff positions with the same counterparties in the event of default by one of the parties. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either an asset or a liability and carries them at fair value in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivative instruments 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 gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) 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.

Table of Contents
Accumulated 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 the determination of net income. The Company’s AOCI consists of net deferred gains and losses on its interest rate swap contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges. The components of AOCI, net of tax, are as follows:

(In thousands) | AOCI
Accumulated OCI, net, as of May 26, 2019 | $ | 64 |
Unrealized losses on interest rate swap contracts, net of tax effect | (612 | )
Accumulated OCI, net, as of August 25, 2019 | $ | (548 | )

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 Company
On February 15, 2011, the Company made its initial investment in Windset which is reported as an Investment in non-public company, fair value, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019. 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.
Assets Held for Sale
In June 2019, the Company designated the Santa Maria office as the Curation Foods headquarters, and decided to close and put up for sale the Curation Foods office in San Rafael, CA. The San Rafael property has been designated as held for sale as of August 25, 2019 and the net carrying value of $2.8 million is presented as Other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of August 25, 2019. The disposal is expected to occur by the end of the calendar year, and is not expected to have a material impact to the Company's financial statements.
Leases
Under Topic 842, the Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. For this purpose, the Company considers only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate is a quoted rate based on the understanding of what the Company's credit rating would be. Certain agreements may contain the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset. The Company, when reasonably certain to exercise the option, considers these options in determining the measurement of the lease. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees.
The Company's lease agreements generally contain lease and non-lease components. Non-lease components primarily include payments for maintenance and utilities. The Company combines fixed payments for non-lease components with lease payments and account for them together as a single lease component which increases the amount of lease assets and liabilities.
Payments under lease arrangements are primarily fixed, however, certain lease agreements contain variable payments, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the operating lease assets and liabilities. These amounts primarily include payments affected by changes in price indices.
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 possible 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 ASC 350-30-35.

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 Other 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 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019. It is reasonably possible that the expense the Company ultimately incurs could differ and adjustments to future reserves may be necessary.
Business Interruption Insurance Recoveries
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company recalled five SKUs of Eat Smart single-serve Salad Shake-Ups!™. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company submitted a product recall claim. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company recognized $2.4 million of business interruption insurance recoveries. Amounts received on insurance recoveries related to business interruption are recorded as a reduction to “Cost of sales” and are classified as operating cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company uses fair value measurement accounting for financial 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 also measures its contingent consideration liability at fair value. See Note 2 – Acquisitions 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 measuring 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 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019, the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including its interest rate swap contracts, its minority interest investment in Windset and its contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of O.
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contracts is determined based on model inputs that can be observed in a liquid market, including yield curves, and is categorized as a Level 2 fair value measurement and is included in Other assets or Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liability from the acquisition of O utilizes significant unobservable inputs, including projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and discount rates. As a result, the Company’s contingent consideration liability associated with the O acquisition is considered a Level 3 measurement liability and is included in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In determining the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration liability, the Company utilizes the following significant unobservable inputs in the discounted cash flow models:

| At August 25, 2019 |  | At May 26, 2019
Cost of debt | 5.1% to 5.5% |  | 5.1% to 5.5%
Market price of risk adjustment | 14% |  | 14%
EBITDA volatility | 28% |  | 28%

The Company has elected the fair value option of accounting for its investment in Windset. The calculation 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. There was no change in the fair value of the Company’s investment in Windset for the three months ended August 25, 2019.
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 25, 2019 |  | At May 26, 2019
Revenue growth rates | 6% to 7% |  | 6%
Expense growth rates | 5% to 7% |  | 6%
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 25, 2019
10% increase in revenue growth rates | $ | 5,400 |
10% increase in expense growth rates | (4,200 | )
10% increase in income tax rates | (500 | )
10% increase in discount rates | (3,600 | )

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:

Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the five step, principles-based model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue, net of estimated allowances and returns, is recognized when the Company has completed its performance obligations under a contract and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Substantially all revenue is recognized at the time shipment is made or upon delivery as control of the product is transferred to the customer. Revenue for development service contracts are generally recognized based upon the labor hours expended relative to the total expected hours as a measure of progress to depict transfer of control of the service over time. The services are not distinct and are accounted for as a single performance obligation for each customer.
For descriptions of the Company’s product offerings and segments refer to Note 10 – Business Segment Reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 26, 2019.
The Company’s standard terms of sale are included in its contracts, purchase orders, and invoices. As such, all revenue is considered revenue recognized from contracts with customers. Shipping and other transportation costs charged to customers are recorded in both revenue and cost of goods sold. The Company has elected to account for shipping and handling as fulfillment activities, and not a separate performance obligation. The Company’s standard payment terms with its customers range from 30 days to 90 days. Certain customers may receive cash-based incentives (including: volume rebates, discounts, and slotting fees), which are accounted for as variable consideration to the Company’s performance obligations. The Company estimates these sales incentives based on the expected amount to be provided to its customers and reduces revenues recognized towards its performance obligations. The Company does not anticipate significant changes in its estimates for variable consideration.
Occasionally, the Company enters into bill-and-hold arrangements, where it invoices the customer for products even though it retains possession of the products until a point-in-time in the future when the products will be shipped to the customer. In these contracts, the primary performance obligation is satisfied, and revenue is generally recognized, at a point-in-time when the product is segregated from the Company’s general inventory, it's ready for shipment to the customer, and the Company does not have the ability to use the product or re-deploy it to another customer.
The Company disaggregates its revenue by segment product lines based on how it markets its products and reviews results of operations. The following tables disaggregate segment revenue by major product lines:

Table of Contents
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets primarily relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for work completed but not billed at the reporting date. The Company’s contract assets as of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019 were $6.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively.
Contract liabilities primarily relate to payments received from customers in advance of performance under the contract. The Company’s contract liabilities as of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019 were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three months ended August 25, 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of fiscal year 2020 was $0.1 million.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs are incurred to move the Company’s products from production and storage facilities to the customer. Handling costs are incurred from the point the product is segregated from the Company’s general inventory until it is provided to the shipper and generally include costs to store, move and prepare the products for shipment. The cost of shipping and handling services is recognized in Cost of product sales. When the costs of shipping and handling are passed on to a customer, the related amount is recorded in revenue.
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 adjusted 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.
Curation Foods has been the target of a union organizing campaign which has included three unsuccessful attempts to unionize Curation Foods' 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"), Curation Foods' 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 Curation Foods and Pacific Harvest.
The legal actions consisted 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.
The ULP claims were settled in fiscal year 2017 for $0.3 million. Curation Foods was responsible for half of this settlement, or $0.2 million. 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 Curation Foods' Guadalupe, California processing facility from September 2011 through the settlement date. Under the Settlement Agreement, the plaintiffs were paid $6.0 million in three installments: $2.4 million of which was paid in July 2017, $1.8 million of which was paid in November 2017 and $1.8 million of which was paid in July 2018, representing the final payment due under the settlement agreement. The Company and Pacific Harvest have each agreed to pay one half of the settlement payments. The Company paid the entire first two installments of $4.2 million and will be reimbursed by Pacific Harvest for its $2.1 million portion. As of August 25, 2019, the outstanding balance of the receivable was $1.3 million of which $0.9 million and $0.4 million is included in Prepaid and other current assets and Other assets, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. This receivable will continue to be repaid through monthly payments until fully paid, which the Company expects to occur by December 2020. The Company’s recourse against non-payment by Pacific Harvest is its security interest in assets owned by Pacific Harvest. The receivable is reviewed quarterly for collectability. At August 25, 2019, the Company has concluded that the receivable is not impaired and therefore is not subject to an impairment loss.

Recent Accounting Guidance
Recently Adopted Pronouncements
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. Effective May 27, 2019, the Company adopted the ASU on a modified retrospective basis. Prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting policies under ASC 840: Leases (Topic 840). The Company elected the package of practical expedients under which the Company has not reassessed prior conclusions about lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company elected the hindsight expedient to evaluate lease terms, and made a policy election that does not recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to short-term leases.
Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recorded a transitional adjustment of $0.3 million to opening retained earnings to write off the difference in deferred rent balances from prior periods for operating leases with non-level rent. The difference arises from recalculation of deferred rent after applying updated lease terms as a result of applying hindsight. Additionally, the adoption of the standard had a significant impact in the condensed consolidated balance sheet due to the recognition of $31.1 million of operating lease liabilities, along with $30.0 million of operating lease right-of-use assets.
This change had no impact on the Company’s ability to meet its loan covenants as the impact from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 was taken into consideration when determining its loan covenants.
Derivatives and Hedging, Financial Instruments
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities ("ASU 2017-12"), which amends the presentation and disclosure requirements and changes how companies assess effectiveness. The amendments are intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on May 27, 2019, without any impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging which affects the recognition and measurement of financial instruments, including derivatives and hedging. For entities that have adopted ASU 2017-12, the hedging amendments in ASU 2019-04 are effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after the date of issuance. The Company adopted ASU 2019-04 on May 27, 2019, without any impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Share-Based Compensation
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07"), which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services. The guidance aligns the accounting for non-employee equity based awards with the accounting for employee equity-based awards, and requires equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to non-employees to be measured based on the grant date price, rather than remeasure the awards through the performance completion date. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company adopted ASU 2018-07 on May 27, 2019. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Pronouncements to be Adopted
Cloud Computing Arrangements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract ("ASU 2018-15"), which requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to defer and recognize as an asset. The Accounting Standards Update generally aligns the guidance on recognizing implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract with that for implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software, including hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The guidance eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Entities will no longer have to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, but will be required to disclose the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Financial Instruments – Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13"), which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets including trade receivables held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which provides practical expedients and policy elections related to the presentation and disclosure of accrued interest and the related allowance for credit losses and clarifies how to disclose line-of-credit arrangements that are converted to term loans. ASU 2019-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the future impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
2. Acquisitions
Yucatan Foods Acquisition
On December 1, 2018, (the "Acquisition Date") the Company acquired all of the voting interests and substantially all of the assets of Yucatan Foods, a manufacturer and seller of avocado-based food products. The total consideration paid to acquire Yucatan Foods was $75.0 million, consisting of $59.9 million in cash and 1,203,360 shares of common stock (“Stock Consideration”) with a fair value of $15.1 million. The fair value of the Stock Consideration is based on a per-share value of the Company’s common stock on the Acquisition Date. Given that the Sellers are restricted from selling the Landec common stock, a discount for lack of marketability was applied to the Stock Consideration. The discount for lack of marketability was based on restricted stock studies, pre-IPO studies, and utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate a discount of 17.5% and 20.0% for the 3-year and 4-year lockup period, respectively.
Pursuant to the terms of the purchase agreement, all 1,203,360 shares issued as Stock Consideration will be held in an escrow account to secure the indemnification rights of Landec with respect to certain matters, including breaches of representations, warranties and covenants such as environmental and tax representations. The Stock Consideration is comprised of two tranches, with 3-year and 4-year lock-up provisions, respectively, such that 50% of the Stock Consideration is released from lock-up on November 30, 2021, the 3-year anniversary of the close date of the transaction, and 50% of the Stock Consideration is released on November 30, 2022, the 4-year anniversary of the close date of the transaction.

Table of Contents
Yucatan Foods, founded in 1991, with its headquarters in Los Angeles, CA, produces and sells guacamole and other avocado products under its Yucatan and Cabo Fresh brands primarily in the U.S. and Canada. Yucatan Foods' production facility is located in Guanajuato, Mexico, very near where avocados are grown. Landec acquired Yucatan Foods to grow, strengthen, and stabilize its position in the natural foods market and to improve Curation Foods' margins over time.
Upon acquisition, Yucatan Foods became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Curation Foods. The Acquisition Date fair value of the consideration paid consisted of the following:

(In thousands) |
Cash consideration | $ | 59,898 |
Stock consideration | 15,068 |
| $ | 74,966 |

The excess of the purchase price over the aggregate fair value of identifiable net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. These preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques and are subject to change during the measurement period as valuations are finalized. The primary areas of the purchase price that are not yet finalized are related to income taxes and consideration of indemnification provisions for environmental related items. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accounting for the acquisition is set forth in the table below:

(In thousands) |
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 26 |
Accounts receivable | 6,310 |
Inventories | 11,384 |
Prepaid expenses and other current assets | 1,589 |
Other assets | 102 |
Property and equipment | 14,083 |
Trademarks/tradenames | 15,900 |
Customer relationships | 11,000 |
Accounts payable | (4,507 | )
Other accrued liabilities | (1,873 | )
Deferred tax liabilities | (1,280 | )
Net identifiable assets acquired | 52,734 |
Goodwill | 22,232 |
Total fair value purchase consideration | $ | 74,966 |

Intangible Assets
The Company identified two intangible assets in connection with the Yucatan Foods acquisition: trademark/tradenames valued at $15.9 million and customer relationships valued at $11.0 million, which are included within Trademarks/tradenames and Customer relationships in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Tradenames are considered to be an indefinite lived asset and therefore, will not be amortized. Customer relationships have an estimated useful life of 12 years and will be amortized to operating expenses on an accelerated basis that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed. The tradenames are valued using the relief from royalty valuation method and the customer relationships are valued using the excess earnings method.
Goodwill
The goodwill recognized from the Yucatan Foods acquisition is primarily attributable to Yucatan Foods' long history and expected synergies from future growth and expansion of our Curation Foods business segment. Approximately 80% 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.

O Acquisition
On March 1, 2017, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of O for $2.5 million in cash plus contingent consideration of up to $7.5 million based upon O achieving certain EBITDA targets. All accounting for this acquisition is final.
The potential earn out payment of up to $7.5 million is based on O’s cumulative EBITDA over the Company’s fiscal years 2018 through 2020. At the end of each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2018, the former owners of O will earn the equivalent of the EBITDA achieved by O for that fiscal year up to $4.6 million over the three year period. The former owners can then earn an additional $2.9 million on a dollar for dollar basis for exceeding $6.0 million of cumulative EBITDA over the three year period. Each quarter the Company performs, with the assistance of a third party appraiser, an analysis of O’s projected EBITDA over the earnout period. Based on this analysis, the Company records a contingent consideration liability, included in Other non-current liabilities.
As of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019, the contingent consideration liability was $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, representing the present value of the expected earn out payments.
3. Investment in Non-public Company
On February 15, 2011, Curation Foods entered into a share purchase agreement (the “Windset Purchase Agreement”) with Windset. Pursuant to the Windset Purchase Agreement, Curation Foods purchased from Windset 150,000 Senior A preferred shares for $15.0 million and 201 common shares for $201. On July 15, 2014, Curation Foods increased its investment in Windset by purchasing from the Newell Capital Corporation an additional 68 common shares and 51,211 junior preferred shares of Windset for $11.0 million. After this purchase, the Company’s common shares represent a 26.9% ownership interest in Windset. The Senior A preferred shares yield a cash dividend of 7.5% annually. The dividend is payable within 90 days of each anniversary of the execution of the Windset Purchase Agreement. The non-voting junior preferred stock does not yield a dividend unless declared by the Board of Directors of Windset and no such dividend has been declared.
The Shareholders’ Agreement between Curation Foods and Windset, as amended on March 15, 2017, includes a put and call option (the “Put and Call Option”), which can be exercised on or after March 31, 2022, whereby Curation Foods can exercise the put to sell its common, Senior A preferred shares, and junior preferred shares to Windset, or Windset can exercise the call to purchase those shares from Curation Foods, in either case, at a price equal to 26.9% of the fair market value of Windset’s common shares, plus the liquidation value of the preferred shares of $20.1 million ($15.0 million for the Senior A preferred shares and $5.1 million for the junior preferred shares). Under the terms of the arrangement with Windset, the Company is entitled to designate one of five members on the Board of Directors of Windset.
The investment in Windset does not qualify for equity method accounting as the investment does not meet the criteria of in-substance common stock due to returns through the annual dividend on the non-voting senior preferred shares that are not available to the common stockholders. As the put and call options require all of the various shares to be put or called in equal proportions, the Company has deemed that the investment, in substance, should be treated as a single security for purposes of accounting.
The fair value of the Company’s investment in Windset was determined utilizing the Windset Purchase Agreement’s put/call calculation for value and a discounted cash flow model based on projections developed by Windset, and considers the put and call conversion options. These features impact the duration of the cash flows utilized to derive the estimated fair values of the investment. These two discounted cash flow models’ estimate for fair value are then weighted. Assumptions included in these discounted cash flow models will be evaluated quarterly based on Windset’s actual and projected operating results to determine the change in fair value.
During the three months ended August 25, 2019 and August 26, 2018, the Company recorded $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in dividend income. The increase in the fair market value of the Company’s investment in Windset for the three month periods ended August 25, 2019 and August 26, 2018 was $0 and $1.0 million, respectively, and is included in Other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
4. Stock-based Compensation and Stockholders' Equity
Stock-Based Compensation Activity
The estimated fair value for stock options, which determines the Company’s calculation of stock-based compensation expense, is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Restricted stock units ("RSUs") are valued at the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The Company uses the straight-line method to recognize the fair value of stock-based compensation arrangements.

Table of Contents
During the three months ended August 25, 2019, the Company did no t grant any options to purchase shares of common stock and awarded 87,000 RSUs.
As of August 25, 2019, the Company has reserved 2.5 million shares of Common Stock for future issuance under its current and former equity plans.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
The Company’s stock-based awards include stock option grants and RSUs. The Company records compensation expense for stock-based awards issued to employees and directors in exchange for services provided based on the estimated fair value of the awards on their grant dates and is recognized over the required service periods, generally the vesting period.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation by income statement line item:

| Three Months Ended
(In thousands) | August 25, 2019 |  | August 26, 2018
Cost of sales | $ | (26 | ) |  | $ | 101 |
Research and development | 30 |  |  | 25 |
Selling, general and administrative | 524 |  |  | 602 |
Total stock-based compensation | $ | 528 |  |  | $ | 728 |

As of August 25, 2019, there was $4.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested equity compensation awards granted under the Landec incentive stock plans. Total expense is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of 1.85 years for stock options and 1.91 years for RSUs.
Stock Repurchase Plan
On July 14, 2010, the Company announced that the Board of Directors of the Company had approved the establishment of a stock repurchase plan authorizing the repurchase of up to $10 million of the Company’s common stock. The Company may repurchase its common stock from time to time in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased is at the discretion of management of the Company and will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, market conditions, the relative attractiveness of other capital deployment opportunities and other corporate priorities. The stock repurchase program does not obligate Landec to acquire any amount of its common stock and the program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company's discretion without prior notice. During the three months ended August 25, 2019, the Company did no t repurchase any of its outstanding common stock.
5. Diluted Net Income Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of diluted net income per share:

| Three Months Ended
(In thousands, except per share amounts) | August 25, 2019 |  | August 26, 2018
Numerator: |  |  |
Net (loss) income applicable to Common Stockholders | $ | (4,784 | ) |  | $ | 190 |
Denominator: |  |  |
Weighted average shares for basic net income per share | 29,139 |  |  | 27,738 |
Effect of dilutive securities: |  |  |
Stock options and restricted stock units | — |  |  | 282 |
Weighted average shares for diluted net income per share | 29,139 |  |  | 28,020 |
Diluted net (loss) income per share | $ | (0.16 | ) |  | $ | 0.01 |

-17-

Table of Contents
Due to the Company’s net loss for the three months ended August 25, 2019, the net loss per share includes only weighted average shares outstanding and thus excludes 0.1 million of outstanding options and RSUs as such impacts would be antidilutive for this period. For the three months ended August 25, 2019 and August 26, 2018, the computation of the diluted net income per share excludes the impact of options to purchase 2.6 million and 1.4 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, as such impacts would be antidilutive for this period.
6. Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended August 25, 2019 and August 26, 2018 was a benefit of $1.4 million and an expense of $0.1 million, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 25, 2019 and August 26, 2018 was 22% and 25%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended August 25, 2019 was higher than the statutory federal income tax rate of 21%, primarily due to the impact of state taxes and stock-based compensation, partially offset by federal & state R&D Credits.
As of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019 was $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in an adjustment to the Company’s effective tax rate. The Company does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly within the next twelve months.
The Company has elected to classify interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for income taxes. The Company has accrued an insignificant amount of interest and penalties relating to the income tax on the unrecognized tax benefits as of August 25, 2019 and May 26, 2019.
Due to tax attribute carryforwards, the Company is subject to examination for tax years 2015 forward for U.S. tax purposes. The Company is also subject to examination in various state jurisdictions for tax years 2012 forward, none of which were individually material.

On September 23, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan, BMO, and City National Bank, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan as administrative agent, pursuant to which the Lenders provided the Company with a $100.0 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and a $50.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, with the exception of the Company’s investment in Windset.
On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Amendment"), which increased the Term Loan to $100.0 million and the Revolver to $105.0 million. Both the Revolver and the Term Loan continue to mature on September 23, 2021, with the Term Loan requiring quarterly principal payments to increase to $2.5 million beginning March 1, 2019, with the remainder continuing to be due at maturity.
The primarily purpose of the Amendment was to fund the Company's acquisition of Yucatan Foods and its related entities on December 1, 2018, to pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Amendment, and for other general corporate purposes. See Note 2 - Acquisitions for more details on Yucatan Foods acquisition.

Table of Contents
Interest on both the Revolver and the Term Loan continues to be based upon the Company’s leverage ratio (generally defined as the ratio of the Company’s total indebtedness on such date to the Company’s consolidated EBITDA for the period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on or most recently prior to such date), at a per annum rate of either (i) the prime rate plus a spread of between 0.25% and 2.25% or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus a spread of between 1.25% and 3.25%. The amended agreement increased the leverage ratio covenant to 4.50 to 1.00 from 3.50 to 1.00 through March 1, 2020.
The Credit Agreement provides the Company the right to increase the Revolver commitments and/or the Term Loan commitments by obtaining additional commitments either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution at an amount of up to $10.0 million.
The Credit Agreement continues to contain customary financial covenants and events of default under which the obligation could be accelerated and/or the interest rate increased. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of August 25, 2019.
As of August 25, 2019, $70.6 million was outstanding on the Revolver, at an interest rate of 4.98% under the Eurodollar option.
Derivative Instruments
On November 1, 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract (the “2016 Swap”) with BMO at a notional amount of $50 million. The 2016 Swap has the effect of changing the Company’s Term Loan obligation from a variable interest rate to a fixed 30-day LIBOR rate of 1.22%.
On June 25, 2018, the Company entered into an interest rate swap contract (the “2018 Swap”) with BMO at a notional amount of $30.0 million. The 2018 Swap has the effect of converting the first $30.0 million of the total outstanding amount of the Company’s 30-day LIBOR borrowings from a variable interest rate to a fixed 30-day LIBOR rate of 2.74%.
8. Leases
The Company has entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements for manufacturing and distribution facilities, vehicles, equipment and office space. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term.

10. Discontinued Operations
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company discontinued its Now Planting soups. As a result, the Company met the requirements of ASC 205-20¸ to report the results of the Now Planting business as a discontinued operation. The operating results for the Now Planting business have therefore been reclassified as a discontinued operation in fiscal year 2019.
The carrying amounts of the major classes of liabilities of the Now Planting business included in liabilities of discontinued operations are as follows:

Note 1 – Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements which is contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, describes these new accounting pronouncements and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company
Landec Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Landec” or the “Company”) design, develop, manufacture and sell differentiated health and wellness products for food and biomaterials markets. There continues to be a dramatic shift in consumer behavior to healthier eating habits and preventive wellness to improve quality of life. In our Curation Foods, Inc. business, we are committed to offering healthy, fresh produce products conveniently packaged to consumers. In our Lifecore Biomedical, Inc. (“Lifecore”) biomaterials business, we commercialize products that enable people to stay more active as they grow older.
Landec’s Curation Foods and Lifecore businesses utilize polymer chemistry technology, a key differentiating factor. Both businesses focus on business-to-business selling such as selling directly to retail grocery store chains and club stores for Curation Foods and directly to partners in the medical device and pharmaceutical markets for Lifecore.
Landec has three reportable business segments – Curation Foods and Lifecore, each of which is described below, and an Other segment.
Curation Foods
Curation Foods serves as the corporate umbrella for a portfolio of four natural food brands, including the Company’s flagship brand Eat Smart® as well as its three emerging natural foods brands, O Olive Oil & Vinegar® ("O") products, and Yucatan® and Cabo Fresh® authentic guacamole and avocado products that were acquired by the Company through the acquisition of Yucatan Foods, L.P.
The Company sells specialty packaged Eat Smart branded salads and private label fresh-cut vegetables and whole produce to retailers, club stores, and food service operators, primarily in the United States and Canada. The Company also sells premier California specialty O olive oils and wine vinegars to natural food, conventional grocery and mass retail stores primarily in the United States and Canada. The majority of Yucatan and Cabo Fresh guacamole and avocado food products are sold in the U.S. grocery channel, but they are also sold in U.S. mass retail, Canadian grocery retail and foodservice channels.
The Eat Smart brand combines our proprietary BreatheWay® food packaging technology with the capabilities of a large national food supplier and value-added produce processor to foodservice operators, as well as under private labels. Within the Eat Smart brand, produce is processed by trimming, washing, sorting, blending, and packaging into bags and trays that in most cases incorporate Landec’s BreatheWay membrane technology. The BreatheWay membrane increases shelf-life and reduces shrink (waste) for retailers and helps to ensure that consumers receive fresh produce by the time the product makes its way through the distribution chain. Curation Foods also generates revenue from the sale and/or use of its BreatheWay technology by partners such as Windset Holding 2010 Ltd., a Canadian corporation (“Windset”), for packaging of greenhouse grown cucumbers and peppers.
Lifecore
Lifecore operates our biomaterials business and is involved in the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical-grade sodium hyaluronate (“HA”) products and providing contract development and aseptic manufacturing services. Sodium hyaluronate is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that is widely distributed in the extracellular matrix in animals and humans. Based upon Lifecore’s expertise working with highly viscous HA, the Company specializes in fermentation and aseptic formulation, filling, and packaging services, as a contract development and manufacturing organization (“CDMO”), for difficult to handle (viscous) materials filled in finished dose vials and syringes.
Landec was incorporated in California on October 31, 1986 and reincorporated as a Delaware corporation on November 6, 2008. Our common stock is listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “LNDC”. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 5201 Great America Parkway, Suite 232, Santa Clara, California 95054, and the telephone number is (650) 306-1650.

Description of Core Business
Landec operates its business in three reportable business segments: Curation Foods, Lifecore, and Other.
Curation Foods
The Curation Foods business is comprised of Curation Foods' packaged fresh vegetables business sold primarily under the Eat Smart brand, O branded olive oils and wine vinegars, and Yucatan and Cabo Fresh guacamole and avocado food products.
Eat Smart Packaged Fresh Vegetables
Based in Santa Maria, California, Curation Foods’ primary business is the processing, marketing and selling of vegetable-based salads and fresh-cut and whole vegetable products primarily packaged in its proprietary BreatheWay packaging. The packaged fresh vegetables business markets a variety of salads and fresh-cut and whole vegetables to the top retail grocery chains, club stores, and food service operators.
There are four major distinguishing characteristics of Curation Foods that provide competitive advantages in the Company's Eat Smart packaged fresh vegetables market:
Packaged Salads and Vegetables Supplier: Curation Foods has structured its packaged fresh vegetables business as a marketer and seller of branded and private label blended, salads and fresh-cut and whole vegetable products. It is focused on selling products primarily under its Eat Smart brand and private label brands. As retail grocery chains, club stores and food service operators consolidate, Curation Foods is well positioned as a single source of a broad range of products.
Nationwide Processing and Distribution: Curation Foods has strategically invested in its salads and fresh-cut vegetables business. Curation Foods’ largest processing plant is in Guadalupe, CA, and is automated with state-of-the-art vegetable processing equipment in one of the lower cost, growing regions in California, the Santa Maria Valley. Curation Foods also has three East Coast processing facilities and five East Coast distribution centers for nationwide delivery of all of its packaged salads and vegetable products in order to meet the next-day delivery needs of customers.
Expanded Product Line Using Technology and Unique Blends: Curation Foods is introducing new salads and packaged vegetable products each year, and many of these products use our BreatheWay packaging technology to extend shelf-life. These new product offerings range from various sizes of fresh-cut bagged products, to vegetable trays, to whole produce, to vegetable salads and to snack packs. During the last twelve months, Curation Foods introduced nineteen new unique products.
Products Currently in Approximately 68% of North American Retail Grocery Stores: Curation Foods' packaged fresh vegetables business has products in approximately 68% of all North American retail grocery stores. This gives Curation Foods the opportunity to sell new products to existing customers and to increase distribution of its approximately 120 unique packaged fresh vegetable products within those customers.
Most vegetable products packaged in the Company’s BreatheWay packaging have a shelf-life of approximately 17 days. In addition to packaging innovation, the Company has developed innovative blends and combinations of vegetables that are sold in flexible film bags or rigid trays. The Company has launched a family of salad kits that are comprised of “superfood” mixtures of vegetables with healthy toppings and dressings. The first salad kit to launch under the Eat Smart brand was Sweet Kale Salad, which now has significant distribution throughout club and retail stores in North America. Additionally, we have launched under the Eat Smart brand several other superfood salad kits including Chopped and Crumble salads™, Southwest Salad, and Asian Sesame Salad to name a few and, more recently, a line of single-serve salads under our Salad Shake-Ups!™ brand. The Company’s expertise includes accessing leading culinary experts and nutritionists nationally to help in the new product development process. We believe that the Company’s new products are “on trend” and strong market acceptance supports this belief. Recent statistics show that more than two-thirds of adults are considered to be overweight or obese. More and more consumers are beginning to make better food choices in their schools, homes, and in restaurants and that is where our Eat Smart products can fit into consumers’ daily healthy food choices.
The Company also periodically licenses its BreatheWay packaging technology to partners for packaging fruits and vegetables, and Windset for packaging peppers and cucumbers that are grown hydroponically in greenhouses. These packaging license relationships generate revenues either from product sales or royalties once commercialized. The Company is engaged in the testing and development of other BreatheWay products. Landec manufactures its BreatheWay packaging through selected qualified contract manufacturers.

Windset
The Company believes that hydroponically-grown produce using Windset’s know-how and growing practices will result in higher yields with competitive growing costs that will provide dependable year-round supply to Windset’s customers. In addition, the produce grown in Windset’s greenhouses uses significantly less water than field grown crops and has a very high safety profile as no soil is used in the growing process. Windset owns and operates greenhouses in British Columbia, Canada and California. In addition to growing produce in its own greenhouses, Windset has numerous marketing arrangements with other greenhouse growers and utilizes buy/sell arrangements to meet fluctuation in demand from their customers.
O Olive Oils & Vinegars (O)
The Company acquired O on March 1, 2017. O, founded in 1995, is based in Petaluma, California, and is the premier producer of California specialty olive oils and wine vinegars. Its products are sold in conventional grocery and mass retail stores, primarily in the United States and Canada.
Yucatan and Cabo Fresh
The Company acquired Yucatan Foods on December 1, 2018. Yucatan Foods, founded in 1991, is based in Los Angeles, California. As part of the acquisition of Yucatan Foods, Curation Foods acquired the newly built production facility in Guanajuato, Mexico. The Yucatan Foods business adds another double-digit growth platform, a lower-cost infrastructure in Mexico and higher margin product offerings that generally exhibit less sourcing volatility.
Lifecore
Lifecore is involved in the manufacture of pharmaceutical-grade sodium hyaluronate in bulk form as well as formulated and filled syringes and vials for injectable products used in treating a broad spectrum of medical conditions and procedures. Lifecore leverages its fermentation process to manufacture premium, pharmaceutical-grade HA and uses its aseptic filling capabilities to deliver private-label HA and non-HA finished products to its customers.
Lifecore provides product development services to its partners for HA-based, as well as non-HA based, aseptically formulated and filled products. These services include activities such as technology transfer, material component changes, analytical method development, formulation development, pilot studies, stability studies, process validation, and production of materials for clinical studies.
Lifecore uses its fermentation process and aseptic formulation and filling expertise to be a leader in the development of HA-based products for multiple applications and to take advantage of non-HA device and drug opportunities which leverage its expertise in manufacturing and aseptic syringe filling capabilities. Elements of Lifecore’s strategy include the following:
Establish strategic relationships with market leaders: Lifecore will continue to develop applications for products with partners who have strong marketing, sales, and distribution capabilities to end-user markets. Through its strong reputation and history of providing pharmaceutical grade HA and products, Lifecore has been able to establish long-term relationships with the market leading ophthalmic surgical companies, and leverages those partnerships to attract new relationships in other medical markets.
Expand medical applications for HA: Due to the growing knowledge of the unique characteristics of HA, and the role it plays in normal physiology, Lifecore continues to identify and pursue opportunities for the use of HA in other medical applications, such as wound care, aesthetic surgery, drug delivery, next generation orthopedics and device coatings and through sales to academic and corporate research customers. Further applications may involve expanding process development activity and/or additional licensing of technology.
Utilize manufacturing infrastructure to pursue contract aseptic filling and fermentation opportunities: Lifecore has made strategic capital investments in its CDMO business focusing on extending its aseptic filling capacity and capabilities. It is investing in this segment to meet increasing partner demand and attract new contract filling opportunities outside of HA markets. Lifecore is using its manufacturing capabilities to provide contract manufacturing and development services to its partners in the area of sterile pre-filled syringes and vials, as well as, fermentation and purification requirements.

Table of Contents
Maintain flexibility in product development and supply relationships: Lifecore’s vertically integrated development and manufacturing capabilities allow it to establish a variety of contractual relationships with global corporate partners. Lifecore’s role in these relationships extends from supplying HA raw materials to providing technology transfer and development services to manufacturing aseptically filled, finished sterile products, and assuming full supply chain responsibilities.
Other
Included in the Other segment is Corporate, which includes corporate general and administrative expenses, non-Curation Foods and non-Lifecore interest income and income tax expenses.
Results of Operations
Revenues:
Curation Foods revenues consist of revenues generated from (1) the sale of specialty packaged fresh-cut and whole processed vegetable products and salads that are washed and packaged in most cases in the Company’s proprietary BreatheWay packaging and sold primarily under the Eat Smart brand and various private labels, (2) O olive oils and wine vinegars, and (3) Yucatan and Cabo Fresh branded guacamole and avocado products. In addition, the Curation Foods reportable business segment includes the revenues generated from the sale of BreatheWay packaging to license partners.
Lifecore generates revenues from the development and manufacture of pharmaceutical-grade sodium hyaluronate (“HA”) products and providing contract development and aseptic manufacturing services to customers. Lifecore generates revenues from three integrated activities: (1) aseptically filled syringes and vials, (2) fermentation products, and (3) development activities.

Curation Foods
The increase in Curation Foods' revenues for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the addition of Yucatan Foods, which was acquired on December 1, 2018, that contributed $16.2 million in revenues and from a $2.2 million increase in salad revenues. These increases were partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in green bean revenues due to weather-related events that resulted in yields of 35% to 50% of normal and from a $1.4 million decrease in packaged vegetables in bags and trays revenues.
Lifecore
The decrease in Lifecore’s revenues for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was due to a $2.3 million decrease in fermentation revenue as a result of the timing of shipments partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in development services revenues primarily due to increased activity with existing customers.
Gross Profit:
There are numerous factors that can influence gross profit including product mix, customer mix, manufacturing costs, volume, sales discounts and charges for excess or obsolete inventory, to name a few. Many of these factors influence or are interrelated with other factors. The Company includes in cost of sales all of the following costs: raw materials (including produce, seeds, packaging, syringes and fermentation and purification supplies), direct labor, overhead (including indirect labor, depreciation, and facility-related costs) and shipping and shipping-related costs.

Curation Foods
The decrease in gross profit for the Curation Foods business for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to unfavorable product mix.

The decrease in gross profit for the Lifecore business for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the timing of shipments partially offset by gross profit from increased development services revenues.
Operating Expenses:
Research and Development (R&D):
R&D consists primarily of product development and commercialization initiatives. R&D efforts in our Curation Foods business are primarily focused on innovating our current product lines and on the Company’s proprietary BreatheWay membranes used for packaging produce, with a focus on extending the shelf-life of sensitive vegetables and fruit. In the Lifecore business, the R&D efforts are focused on new products and applications for HA-based and non-HA biomaterials. For Other, the R&D efforts are primarily focused on creating and developing new innovative lines of products.

The R&D expenses were flat for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher salary and benefit expenses at Lifecore partially offset by decreases at our Other segment from fewer product development activities for our new ventures.
Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A):
SG&A expenses consist primarily of sales and marketing expenses associated with Landec’s product sales and services, business development expenses, and staff and administrative expenses.

(In thousands, except percentages) | Three Months Ended |  | Change
| August 25, 2019 |  | August 26, 2018 |  | Amount |  | %

Total SG&A | $ | 16,895 |  |  | $ | 13,803 |  |  | $ | 3,092 |  |  | 22 | %

The increase in SG&A expenses for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was due to: (1) a $2.6 million increase in our Curation Foods business primarily due to $2.1 million of SG&A at Yucatan Foods and a $0.5 million increase in the Eat Smart line of products due primarily to an increase in consulting fees, most of which was associated with Curation Foods’ cost saving initiatives, (2) a $0.3 million increase in our Lifecore business from higher salary and benefit expenses, and (3) a $0.2 million increase at our Other segment from higher salary and benefit expenses.

Dividend Income
Dividend income is derived from the dividends accrued on the Company’s $15.0 million Senior A and $7.0 million Senior B preferred stock investment in Windset, which yields a cash dividend of 7.5% annually. The decrease in dividend income for the three months ended August 25, 2019 compared to the same period last year was due to the sale of its $7.0 million Senior B preferred stock to Windset in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019.
Interest Income
The decrease in interest income for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was not significant.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense for the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the additional borrowings to fund the acquisition of Yucatan Foods in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 as well as the Company’s line of credit balance increasing from $39.0 million as of August 26, 2018 to $70.6 million as of August 25, 2019 primarily to fund new equipment purchases during the last twelve months.
Other Income
The decrease in other income for the three months ended August 25, 2019 was a result of the change in the fair value of the Company’s investment in Windset, which was unchanged for the three months ended August 25, 2019 compared to an increase of $1.0 million for the three months ended August 26, 2018.
Income Taxes
The change in income tax during the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to the same period last year, was due to the income tax benefit from pre-tax loss for the three months ended August 25, 2019 compared to the income tax expense from pre-tax income for three months ended August 26, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of August 25, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2.0 million, a net increase of $0.9 million from $1.1 million as of May 26, 2019.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
The Company used $5.4 million of net cash in operating activities during the three months ended August 25, 2019, compared to $2.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended August 26, 2018. The primary uses of net cash in operating activities during the three months ended August 25, 2019 were from (1) a $4.8 million net loss, (2) a $1.4 million reduction in deferred taxes, and (3) a net increase of $4.2 million in working capital. These uses of cash were offset by $5.0 million of depreciation/amortization and stock based compensation expense.
-28-

Table of Contents
The primary factors for the increase in working capital during the three months ended August 25, 2019, were (1) a $6.1 million decrease in accounts payable due primarily to the timing of payments, (2) a $3.3 million decrease in accrued compensation primarily related to fiscal year 2019 earned bonuses being paid during the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, and (3) a $1.2 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets primarily due to the timing of payments for prepaid insurance renewal policies and service agreements. These increases in working capital were partially offset by an $8.2 million decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of customer payment receipts.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities during the three months ended August 25, 2019 was $9.7 million compared to $14.4 million for the same period last year. The use of cash in investing activities during the first three months of fiscal year 2020 was primarily due to the purchase of $10.0 million of equipment to support the growth of the Company’s Curation Foods and Lifecore businesses.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended August 25, 2019 was $16.0 million compared to $10.7 million for the same period last year. The net cash provided by financing activities during the three months of fiscal year 2020 was primarily due to an $18.6 million increase in the Company’s line of credit, primarily to fund $10.0 million of equipment purchases and to pay down long-term debt by $2.5 million.
Capital Expenditures
During the three months ended August 25, 2019, Landec purchased equipment to support the growth of the Curation Foods and Lifecore businesses. These expenditures represented the majority of the $10.0 million of capital expenditures in the period.
Debt
On September 23, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (“JPMorgan”), BMO Harris Bank N.A. and City National Bank, as lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan as administrative agent, pursuant to which the Lenders provided the Company with a $100 million revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) and a $50 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), guaranteed by each of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets, with the exception of the Company’s investment in Windset.
On November 30, 2018, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), whereby the Term Loan was increased to $100 million and the Revolver was increased to $105 million. Both the Revolver and the Term Loan continue to mature on September 23, 2021, with the Term Loan quarterly principal payments increasing to $2.5 million beginning on March 1, 2019, with the remainder due at maturity.
The Company believes that its cash from operations, along with existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to finance its operational and capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.
