The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Refining Company and its subsidiaries, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and its subsidiaries, United Biofuels, Inc. and Kiantone Pipeline Corporation (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||

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® and Country Fair® brand names selling petroleum products under the Kwik Fill®, Citgo® and Keystone® brand names, as well as convenience and grocery items. | ||
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 and six months ended February 28, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2015. 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, 2014. |

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||
Inventories | 2 | Inventories | |||||||
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined under the Last-in, First-out (LIFO) method for crude oil and petroleum product inventories and the First-in, First-out (FIFO) method for merchandise. Supply inventories are stated at either the lower of cost or market or replacement cost and include various parts for the refinery operations. | |||||||||
Inventories consist of the following: | |||||||||

As of February 28, 2015 and August 31, 2014, the replacement cost of LIFO inventories exceeded their LIFO carrying values by approximately $7,308,000 and $109,711,000, respectively. In accordance with ASC 270, Interim Reporting, and ASC 330, Inventory, as of February 28, 2015 the Company has not recorded any reserve against its LIFO carrying values (which amounted to $8,629,000) as the current decline in market values is reasonably expected to be temporary and be restored in the current fiscal year. |

On April 8, 2015 (the “Execution Date”), the Company entered into a Put and Call Option Agreement with each of Enbridge Energy Limited Partnership (“Enbridge LP”) and Enbridge Pipelines Inc. (“Enbridge Inc.” and, together with Enbridge LP, the “Carriers”). The Put and Call Option Agreement entered into with Enbridge LP (the “U.S. Agreement”) is substantially similar to the Put and Call Option Agreement entered into with Enbridge Inc. (the “Canadian Agreement” and, together with the U.S. Agreement, the “Put and Call Agreement”). The Put and Call Agreement was contemplated in that certain Letter Agreement, originally executed on July 31, 2014 and last amended on April 8, 2015 (the “Letter Agreement”), between the Company and the Carriers relating to approximately 88.85 miles of pipeline owned by the Carriers, which transports crude oil from Canada to the Company’s Kiantone Pipeline in West Seneca, New York, and serves the Company’s refinery in Warren, Pennsylvania (“Line 10”). The Letter Agreement related to the parties’ agreement concerning funding certain integrity and replacement costs for Line 10. The Letter Agreement also contemplated that the parties would enter into a put and call agreement relating to the sale of Line 10 from the Carriers to the Company. | ||
The Carriers own the pipeline facilities generally identified as Line 10, including real property interests through and under which Line 10 passes, 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”). Pursuant to the Put and Call Agreement, the Carriers granted the Company a right (the “Call Option”) to purchase all of the Assets and the Company granted the Carriers the right to put all the Assets to the Company (the “Put Option” and, together with the Call Option, the “Purchase Options”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Put and Call Agreement. | ||
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 (9th) 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 purchase price of the Assets (the “Purchase Price”) shall be calculated as follows: the sum of (a) 70% of the book value of the Assets as of July 31, 2014 minus annual depreciation, (b) 100% of total replacement costs for any segment replacements on the Pipeline commenced by the Carrier, whether completed or ongoing on the date of Asset sale is consummated (the “Closing Date”), minus any of such expenses paid by the Company and (c) 100% of the total regulatory requirements costs for any regulatory work commenced by the Carrier, whether completed or ongoing at the Closing Date, minus any of such expenses paid by the Company. The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the Agreement with respect to certain work ongoing at the Closing Date. | ||
Among other customary conditions to closing, Carrier’s obligation to close the sale of the Assets is conditioned on the Company’s payment of all obligations outstanding pursuant to the Put and Call Agreement and the Letter Agreement. In addition, the sale of Assets pursuant to the U.S. Agreement shall close concurrently with the sale of the Assets pursuant to the Canadian Agreement. | ||
The Company and the Carrier agreed that certain work must be undertaken in order to carve out portions of Line 10 in Canada from the Enbridge mainline system and allow it to operate independently. In the event any work is required to similarly separate the U.S. portion of Line 10 from the Enbridge mainline system (the “Carve-Out Work”), a plan to perform such Carve-Out Work that would result in expenses greater than $38.5 million will require the approval of the Company. | ||
In the event any of the maintenance, regulatory requirement, or replacement work contemplated in the Letter Agreement or the Put and Call Agreement (collectively, the “Work”) is outstanding at the Closing Date, concurrently with the closing of the Asset sale, the Company and the Carriers will enter into an operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) pursuant to which the Carriers will provide certain operational and administrative services (the “Services”) while the Work is ongoing and complete such Work. As payment for the Services and completion of the Work, the Carriers shall be: (i) reimbursed for all expenses of providing the Services, (ii) paid a fixed fee of on an annual basis, which shall be subject to a 2% increase for each successive year following the first year of the Operating Agreement, and (ii) paid for all expenses of the Work not previously paid, as well as a 2.25% construction management fee. | ||
The Put and Call Agreement may be terminated by the mutual consent of the Company and the Carriers and shall automatically terminate if neither Purchase Option is exercised prior to the Put/Call Option Expiry Date. Moreover, either the Company or a Carrier may terminate the Put and Call Agreement if a closing of the Asset sale shall not have occurred on or before December 31, 2028 assuming the terminating party is not then in breach of the Put and Call Agreement and if a party has breached a representation, such breach has not been cured within the time periods allotted by the Put and Call Agreement. Finally, the Company may terminate the Put and Call Agreement by notifying the Carriers to cease the replacement work contemplated in the Letter Agreement. |
