Certain retail store leases provide for rents based upon the minimum annual rental amount and a percentage of annual sales volume, generally ranging from 6% to 8%, when specific sales volumes are exceeded.  Some leases include lease incentives, rent abatements and fixed rent escalations, which are amortized and recorded over the initial lease term on a straight-line basis.   As of May 31, 2013, the future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable retail operating leases with lease terms in excess of one year were as follows (in thousands):   <table style="text-align:left;WIDTH: 43.34%;
