Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Refining Company (“URC”) and its subsidiaries, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and its subsidiaries and Kiantone Pipeline Corporation and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a petroleum refiner and marketer in its primary market area of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Operations are organized into two business segments: wholesale and retail. The wholesale segment is responsible for the acquisition of crude oil, petroleum refining, supplying petroleum products to the retail segment and the marketing of petroleum products to wholesale and industrial customers. The retail segment operates a network of Company operated retail units under the Red Apple Food Mart ® ® ® ® ® The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Refining, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Acquisition Corp., which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Apple Group, Inc. (the “Parent”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. This guidance will now be effective for our financial statements in the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance and do not expect adoption will have a material impact on our financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs related directly to notes payable be deducted from the face amount of that note and the amortization of such costs be classified as interest expense. Effective November 30, 2016, the Company adopted the accounting and reporting requirements included in ASU 2015-03 and has applied these requirements retrospectively. Accordingly, the Company has included $5,150,000 of previously reported deferred financing cost assets in long-term debt, net of current installments in its August 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of these accounting and reporting requirements resulted in an increase in interest expense and a decrease in other expense of $327,000 and $275,000 on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01”). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurements, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU-2016-02 “Leases,” which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset and for operating leases the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which includes guidance to clarify how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including contingent consideration payments made after a business acquisition and debt extinguishment costs. Specifically, cash payments to settle a contingent consideration liability which are not made soon after the acquisition date should be classified as cash used in financing activities up to the initial amount of contingent consideration recognized with the remaining amount classified as cash flows from operating activities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Long-Term Debt | 3. Long-Term Debt Amended, Restated and Consolidated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement On October 20, 2015 (the “Closing Date”), URC, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania, Kiantone Pipeline Corporation (“Kiantone”), United Refining Company of New York Inc., United Biofuels, Inc., Country Fair, Inc. and Kwik-Fill Corporation (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into an Amended, Restated and Consolidated Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders led by PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as Sole Lead Arranger and Bookrunner. The Credit Agreement amends and restates the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated May 18, 2011 and last amended June 18, 2013, by and between the Company and certain subsidiaries and PNC Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Existing Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement will terminate on October 19, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”). Until the Expiration Date, the Company may borrow on the New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below) on a borrowing base formula set forth in the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company increased its existing senior secured revolving credit facility from $175,000,000 to $225,000,000. The New Revolving Credit Facility may be increased by an amount not to exceed $50,000,000 without additional approval from the lenders named in the Credit Agreement if existing lenders agree to increase their commitments or additional lenders commit to fund such increase. Interest under the New Revolving Credit Facility is calculated as follows: (a) for domestic base rate borrowings, at (i) the greater of the Agent’s prime rate, federal funds rate plus .5% or the daily LIBOR rate plus 1%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.75%, and (b) for euro-rate borrowings, at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.25% to 2.75%. The applicable margin will vary depending on a formula calculating the Company’s average unused availability under the facility. As of November 30, 2016 and August 31, 2016, there were no base rate or euro-rate borrowings outstanding under the facility. Letters of credit totaling $8,753,000 were outstanding at November 30, 2016 and August 31, 2016. In addition, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a term loan in the amount of $250,000,000, which was made in a single drawing on the Closing Date (“Term Loan” and, together with the New Revolving Credit Facility, the “Credit Obligations”). Under the Term Loan, interest is calculated as follows: (a) for domestic rate borrowings, at (i) the greater of the Agent’s prime rate, federal funds rate plus .5% or the daily LIBOR rate plus 1%, plus (ii) an applicable margin of 1.75% to 2.25%, and (b) for euro-rate borrowings, at the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 3.25%. The applicable margin will vary depending on a formula calculating the Company’s average unused availability under the facility. The Term Loan is prepayable in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The Term Loan shall be paid in full on or prior to the Expiration Date and shall be paid in equal quarterly amounts based on a ten-year straight line amortization schedule. The Credit Obligations are secured by a first priority security interest in certain cash accounts, accounts receivable, inventory, the refinery, including a related tank farm, and the capital stock of Kiantone. At such time as the Term Loan is repaid in full, and provided no event of default exists, the security interest in the refinery and the equity interest in Kiantone shall be released. The Credit Agreement requires minimum undrawn availability of $15,000,000 at all times prior to the repayment of the Term Loan and the greater of 12.5% of the maximum New Revolving Credit Facility or $25,000,000 after the repayment of the Term Loan. The Company is also required to maintain a consolidated net worth of no less than $100,000,000. The Credit Agreement includes customary mandatory prepayment provisions, including in connection with non-ordinary course asset sales, equity issuances and the incurrence of additional debt. Unless assets sold in non-ordinary course transactions were included in the borrowing base for the New Revolving Credit Facility, mandatory prepayments shall be applied first to the repayment of the Term Loan and then the New Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Agreement also includes customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, covenants related to the fixed charge coverage ratio, payment of fees, conduct of business, maintenance of existence and assets, payment of indebtedness and the incurrence of additional indebtedness, intercompany obligations, affiliate transactions, amendments to organizational documents, and financial statements. The proceeds of the Credit Agreement were used to (i) repay and satisfy in full those certain 10.500% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Senior Secured Notes due 2018”), (ii) provide for the Company’s general corporate needs, including working capital requirements and capital expenditures and (iii) pay the fees and expenses associated with the Credit Agreement. In connection with the redemption of all its Senior Secured Notes due 2018, the Company recorded a loss of $19,316,000 on the early extinguishment of debt consisting of a redemption premium of $7,009,000, a consent payment of $6,536,000, a write-off of unamortized net debt discount of $3,600,000 and a write-off of deferred finance costs of $2,171,000.

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, interest is calculated as follows: (a) for LIBOR Loans, at either the LIBOR plus 2.50% or the Prime Rate, (b) for Reference Rate Loans, the Prime Rate and (c) for Fixed Rate Loans, at the Fixed Rate. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will make 84 monthly principal installments of approximately $129,000 with the remaining principal balance due on December 9, 2022. The loan is secured by a first lien mortgage on certain convenience store units owned by United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and contains various covenants applicable to the Borrower, which include, among others, maintaining a debt service coverage ratio. Payments due under a master lease between URC and the Borrower are guaranteed by the Company. Proceeds of the loan were used for general corporate purposes of the Company.

(as Borrower) and United Refining Company of Pennsylvania (as Fee Owner), entered into a loan agreement with a bank in the amount of $25,000,000 which matures on October 20, 2023.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will make 83 monthly principal installments of approximately $83,000 with the remaining principal balance due on October 20, 2023. The loan is secured by a first lien mortgage on certain convenience store units owned by United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and contains various covenants applicable to the Borrower, which include, among others, maintaining a debt service coverage ratio.

In addition, the Company agreed to pay for half the cost of replacing certain portions of Line 10 in accordance with a plan agreed to between the Company Parties and the Carriers. The Company will pay 50% of the estimated expenses of the replacement project for each segment of Line 10 to be replaced (the “Replacement Costs”) within 30 days of its receipt of an invoice for the same, along with a project management fee of 2.25%. Each Carrier will initially fund the remaining 50% of the Replacement Costs during construction, provided that the Company will reimburse the Carriers for their actual cost of funds during the construction process. Once construction is complete and each replaced segment of Line 10 is put into service, and assuming the Company has not exercised its rights to purchase Line 10 pursuant to the Put and Call Agreement (as defined and discussed below), the Company will repay the Carriers the 50% of the Replacement Costs they funded over a 10-year period. On April 8, 2015 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into the Put and Call Option Agreement with each of the Enbridge LP (the “U.S. Agreement”) and Enbridge Inc (the “Canadian Agreement”, and together with the U.S. Agreement, the “Put and Call Options Agreement”), which agreements are substantially similar. Pursuant to the Put and Call Agreement; the Company was granted a right to purchase and the Company gave the Carriers a right to put to the Company the Carriers’ assignable permits related to the ownership and operation of Line 10, as well as personal property, contract rights, records and incidental rights held solely in connection with Line 10 (collectively, the “Assets”). The Carrier’s Put Option is exercisable beginning on the date that is the earlier of (a) January 1, 2026 and (b) the date that is 30 days after the latest of (i) the date on which the Carriers give notice that the Line 10 replacement work performed pursuant to the Letter Agreement is sufficiently completed (as contemplated in the Call and Put Agreement) and (ii) the ninth (9 th ) anniversary of the Execution Date (the “Put Option Commencement Date”). The Put Option terminates on the date that is 24 months after either (a) the Put Option Commencement Date if such date is the first of a month or (b) the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Put Option Commencement Date if it is not the first day of the month (the “Put/Call Option Expiry Date”). The Company’s Call Option is exercisable at any time beginning on the Execution Date and ending on the Put/Call Option Expiry Date. The Company considered whether the Put and Call Agreement should be separated from the host contract in accordance with ASC 815 embedded derivative guidance and concluded that it doesn’t meet the criteria for separation. The Company determined that the Put and Call Agreement is interdependent with the Line 10 Agreement, and therefore is not freestanding and is accounted for as part of the Line 10 Agreement. As such we concluded that there is no separate accounting impact of the Put and Call Agreement until it becomes probable that it will be exercised. As of November 30, 2016, neither the Company nor the Carrier have exercised their rights under the Put and Call Agreement. |

Subsequent Events | 8. Subsequent Events On December 30, 2016, Kwik-Fil, Inc. (as Borrower) and United Refining Company of Pennsylvania (as Fee Owner), entered into a loan agreement with a bank in the amount of $25,000,000 which matures on October 20, 2023.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Refining Company (“URC”) and its subsidiaries, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and its subsidiaries and Kiantone Pipeline Corporation and its subsidiary (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a petroleum refiner and marketer in its primary market area of Western New York and Northwestern Pennsylvania. Operations are organized into two business segments: wholesale and retail. The wholesale segment is responsible for the acquisition of crude oil, petroleum refining, supplying petroleum products to the retail segment and the marketing of petroleum products to wholesale and industrial customers. The retail segment operates a network of Company operated retail units under the Red Apple Food Mart ® ® ® ® ® The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Refining, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of United Acquisition Corp., which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Red Apple Group, Inc. (the “Parent”). The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended November 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2017. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2016. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09. This guidance will now be effective for our financial statements in the annual period beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance and do not expect adoption will have a material impact on our financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs related directly to notes payable be deducted from the face amount of that note and the amortization of such costs be classified as interest expense. Effective November 30, 2016, the Company adopted the accounting and reporting requirements included in ASU 2015-03 and has applied these requirements retrospectively. Accordingly, the Company has included $5,150,000 of previously reported deferred financing cost assets in long-term debt, net of current installments in its August 31, 2016 consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of these accounting and reporting requirements resulted in an increase in interest expense and a decrease in other expense of $327,000 and $275,000 on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01”). The standard addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurements, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU-2016-02 “Leases,” which replaces the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 840. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The guidance requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the ROU asset and for operating leases the lessee would recognize a straight-line total lease expense. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements and footnote disclosures. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 which includes guidance to clarify how companies present and classify certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows, including contingent consideration payments made after a business acquisition and debt extinguishment costs. Specifically, cash payments to settle a contingent consideration liability which are not made soon after the acquisition date should be classified as cash used in financing activities up to the initial amount of contingent consideration recognized with the remaining amount classified as cash flows from operating activities. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance when effective and adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the financial statements. |
