UNITED REFINING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. | Description of Business and Basis of Presentation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Refining Company and its subsidiaries, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania and its subsidiaries, Kiantone Pipeline Corporation (collectively, the “Company”), and United Refining Asphalt, Inc. (“URA”) a variable interest entity that was created in January 2011 for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is defined as an entity that either has investor voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests or has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities. A VIE is required to be consolidated by a company if that company is the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of the VIE is the company that controls the VIE’s activities and is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or, if no company is subject to a majority of such risk, the company that is entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns.
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 sells petroleum products under the Kwik Fill®, Citgo® and Keystone® brand names at a network of Company-operated retail units and convenience and grocery items through Company-owned gasoline stations and convenience stores under the Red Apple Food Mart® and Country Fair® brand names.
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 nine months ended May 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2011. 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, 2010.
Certain items have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
2. | Derivative Financial Instruments |
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in crude oil purchase costs and refining margins. Derivative products, specifically crude oil option contracts and crack spread option contracts are used to hedge the volatility of these items. The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its Statement of Operations.

During the quarter ended May 31, 2011, the Company had 5,250,000 barrels of heating oil and gasoline crackspread swaps outstanding as part of its risk management strategy. The crackspread swaps expire sequentially beginning June 2011 through December 2012. These derivative instruments are being used by the Company to lock in margins on future sales of diesel fuel and gasoline.
The fair value gain position (recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations) of our derivatives at May 31, 2011 are as follows:
May 31, 2011 | ||||||||||
Notional Balance | Maturity Date | Prepaid Expenses | ||||||||
Designated as hedges under ASC 815 | ||||||||||
None | ||||||||||
Not designated as hedges under ASC 815 | ||||||||||
Heating oil and gasoline crackspread swaps | 5,250,000 barrels | Monthly June 2011 thru December 2012 | $ | 897,123 | ||||||
Total derivative instruments | $ | 897,123 | ||||||||
During the three months ended May 31, 2011 net gains of $1.3 million from the realized net gains and changes in the fair value of our forward contracts were recognized as a reduction of cost of goods sold in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company has included the carrying amount of the contract in prepaid expenses and other assets in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.
3. | 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 lower of cost or market or replacement cost and include various parts for the refinery operations.
Inventories consist of the following:

4. | Credit Facility |
On May 18, 2011, the Company, United Refining Company of Pennsylvania, Kiantone Pipeline Corporation, Country Fair, Inc. and Kwik-Fill Corporation (as Guarantor) entered into an amended and restated Revolving Credit Facility (“Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility”) with PNC Bank, National Association as Administrator (the “Agent”) increasing the maximum facility commitment from $130,000,000 to $175,000,000 and extending the term to May 18, 2016. Under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility, interest is calculated as follows: (a) for base rate borrowings, at the greater of the Agent’s prime rate, federal funds open rate plus 0.5% or the daily LIBOR rate plus 1.0% plus the applicable margin of 1.25% to 1.75% 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 unused availability under the facility. The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility continues to be secured primarily by certain cash accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. Until expiration on May 18, 2016, we may borrow on a borrowing base formula as set forth in the facility. The participating banks in the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility are PNC Bank, National Association, Bank of America, N.A., Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, and Bank Leumi USA.
5. | Long Term Debt |
On March 8, 2011, the Company sold $365,000,000 of 10.500% First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) for $352,020,600, resulting in original issue discount of $12,979,400, which will be amortized over the life of the Senior Secured Notes using the interest method. The net proceeds of the offering of $344,249,000 were used to retire all of its outstanding 10 1/2% Senior Notes due 2012, pay accrued interest of $3,400,000 and a redemption premium related thereto. A loss of $1,245,000 on the early extinguishment of debt was recorded consisting of a redemption premium of $915,000, a write-off of unamortized net debt premium of $1,153,000 and a write-off of deferred financing costs of $1,483,000. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis by all of our domestic subsidiaries existing at March 8, 2011. The Senior Secured Notes are secured on a first-priority basis by our assets comprising our refinery located in Warren, Pennsylvania and the capital stock of our pipeline subsidiary, subject to permitted liens. The Senior Secured Notes will rank equally with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness that is not subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Secured Notes.
On February 22, 2011 the Company announced the launch of a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 10 1/2 % Senior Notes due 2012 issued under an indenture dated as of August 6, 2004 (the “2012 Indenture”) and consent solicitation (the “Solicitation”) for certain proposed amendments to the 2012 Indenture (the “Proposed Amendments”). Each holder who validly tendered its Senior Notes due 2012 and delivered consents to the Proposed Amendments prior to 5:00 pm, New York City time, on March 7, 2011, (the “Consent Date”), received the total consideration of $1,005, which included $975 as the tender offer consideration and $30 as a consent payment. In addition, accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not including, the applicable payment date of the Senior Notes due 2012 was paid in cash on all validly tendered and accepted the Senior Notes due 2012. The Company paid a total of $188,607,726 on March 8, 2011 for $181,764,375 principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2012, $5,592,750 for consent payment (which is included in interest expense, net and financing costs), and $1,250,601 for accrued interest on those Senior Notes due 2012 tendered.
The Tender Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on March 21, 2011. Holders who validly tendered their Senior Notes due 2012 after the Consent Date received only the tender offer consideration and were not entitled to receive a consent payment pursuant to the Tender Offer. The Company paid the total consideration or tender offer consideration, as the case may be, plus accrued but unpaid interest, for the Senior Notes due 2012 accepted for purchase promptly following the date of such acceptance (such date, the “Final

Payment Date”). On March 22, 2011, the Company paid a total of $678,225 for $670,800 principal amount of the Senior Notes due 2012 and $7,425 for accrued interest on those Senior Notes due 2012 tendered between the Consent Date (March 7, 2011) and the Final Payment Date (March 21, 2011).
On March 9, 2011, the Company issued a Notice of Redemption to all holders of its 10 1/2 % Senior Notes due 2012 redeeming these Senior Notes due 2012 at 100% par value plus accrued but unpaid interest on the redemption date of April 8, 2011. On April 8, 2011, $138,962,427 was paid in total, of which $136,847,000 was for principal amount of Senior Notes due 2012 and $2,115,427 was for accrued interest.
6. | Subsidiary Guarantors |
All the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee on an unsecured basis, on a joint and several basis, the Company’s Senior Secured Notes. There are no restrictions within the consolidated group on the ability of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to obtain loans from or pay dividends to other members of the consolidated group.

9. | Fair Value Measurements |
The carrying values of all financial instruments classified as a current asset or current liability approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of marketable securities is determined by available market prices. The fair value exceeded (was less than) the carrying value of the notes at May 31, 2011 and August 31, 2010 by $5,622,000 and ($29,846,000), respectively.
10. | Subsequent Events |
The URA credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., acting as the Agent bank (“Agent Bank”) is secured by URA’s cash accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. The applicable margin under the facility is: (a) for base rate borrowings the Agent Bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%; (b) for euro-rate based borrowings, at the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of 3.75%. The Agent Bank’s prime rate at May 31, 2011 was 3.25%. The $30 million facility is due to expire September 30, 2011.
As of June 14, 2011 the URA credit facility was paid in full. As of June 21, 2011 the $15.0 million advance from URA’s parent URI was paid in full, all URA inventory was liquidated and all URA sales were completed. URA has terminated its credit facility as of the close of business on June 28, 2011.

Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that constitute “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements may include, among other things, United Refining Company and its subsidiaries current expectations with respect to future operating results, future performance of its refinery and retail operations, capital expenditures and other financial items. Words such as “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “projects”, “believes”, “estimates”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “shall”, “anticipates”, “predicts”, and similar expressions typically identify such forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
By their nature, all forward looking statements involve risk and uncertainties. All phases of the Company’s operations involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, and any one of which, or a combination of which, could materially affect the Company’s results of operations and whether the forward looking statements ultimately prove to be correct. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward looking statements for a number of reasons.
Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge, investors and prospective investors are cautioned that such statements are only projections and that actual events or results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors described in greater detail in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, annual reports on Form 10-K, reports on Form 8-K, etc. In addition to the factors discussed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s actual consolidated quarterly or annual operating results have been affected in the past, or could be affected in the future, by additional factors, including, without limitation:
• | the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products; |
• | the spread between market prices for refined products and market prices for crude oil; |
• | repayment of debt; |
• | general economic, business and market conditions; |
• | risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers of refined petroleum products in our markets; |
• | the possibility of inefficiencies or shutdowns in refinery operations or pipelines; |
• | the availability and cost of financing to us; |
• | environmental, tax and tobacco legislation or regulation; |
• | volatility of gasoline prices, margins and supplies; |
• | merchandising margins; |
• | labor costs; |
• | level of capital expenditures; |
• | customer traffic; |
• | weather conditions; |

• | future exposure to currency devaluations or exchange rate fluctuations; |
• | expected outcomes of legal and administrative proceedings and their expected effects on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows; and |
• | future operating results and financial condition. |
All subsequent written and oral forward looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing. We undertake no obligation to update any information contained herein or to publicly release the results of any revisions to any such forward looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances that occur, or which we become aware of, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Recent Developments
The Company continues to be impacted by the extreme volatility of daily pricing changes in the petroleum market in fiscal year 2011. Average crude prices for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 have fallen as compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. The average NYMEX price for crude oil for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 was $97.53 per barrel as measured on July 1, 2011, a $3.39 decrease over the third quarter average of $100.92 per barrel.
The lagged 3-2-1 crackspread for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2011, as measured by the difference between the price of crude oil contracts traded on the NYMEX for the proceeding month to the prices for NYMEX gasoline and heating oil contracts in the current trading month, has decreased as compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. The lagged 3-2-1 crackspread for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 as measured on July 1, 2011, was $26.33 as compared to $29.45 for the third fiscal quarter of 2011, a $3.12 or 11% reduction.
On July 26, 2010, a rupture occurred in Line 6B pipeline on Enbridge’s Lakehead system in Michigan. The Company’s heavy crude oil purchases are shipped on Line 6B from western Canada. As a result, the Company was forced to reduce production in its crude processing unit until such time as the Enbridge Line 6B could be repaired and returned to normal service. As a result of the pipeline rupture, the Company filed a claim with its insurance carriers under its property insurance coverage which contains a provision for contingent business interruption in the maximum amount of $15 million plus up to $5 million towards expenses. The Company is currently in discussions with its insurance carriers to settle the claim. The Company intends to seek restitution from Enbridge for all of the losses that the Company incurred above any payments it receives from its insurance carriers.
Results of Operations
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 sells petroleum products under the Kwik Fill®, Citgo® and Keystone® brand names through a network of Company-operated retail units and convenience and grocery items through gasoline stations and convenience stores under the Red Apple Food Mart® and Country Fair® brand names.
A discussion and analysis of the factors contributing to the Company’s results of operations are presented below. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes, together with the following information, are intended to supply investors with a reasonable basis for evaluating the Company’s operations, but should not serve as the only criteria for predicting the Company’s future performance.

Comparison of Fiscal Quarters Ended May 31, 2011 and 2010
Net Sales
Retail sales increased during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2011 by $90.7 million or 25.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $354.1 million to $444.8 million. The increase was primarily due to $92.0 million in petroleum sales offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales increase resulted from a 31.1% increase in retail selling prices per gallon, and a .6 million gallon or .6% increase in retail petroleum volume. The merchandise sales decrease is primarily due to a decrease in beverage sales due to inclement weather and cigarette sales primarily in New York State as a result of higher taxes and selling prices.
Costs of Goods Sold
Retail costs of goods sold increased during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2011 by $86.6 million or 27.1% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $319.5 million to $406.1 million. The increase was primarily due to $85.4 million in petroleum purchase prices, fuel tax of $2.1 million, offset by a decrease in merchandise cost of $.9 million.

Table of Contents
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Retail Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased during the fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2011 by $1.0 million or 3.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $32.3 million to $33.3 million. The increase was primarily due to payroll costs of $.2 million, credit/customer service costs of $1.1 million and legal/professional fees of $.1 million, offset by a reduction in pension/post retirement costs of $.4 million. The decrease was primarily due to changes made in pension/post retirement benefits. Effective September 1, 2010, postretirement medical benefits for new hires and active salaried employees retiring after September 1, 2010 were eliminated. Additionally, effective January 1, 2011, deductibles and co-payments were added to the medical benefits plan for all plan participants. For salaried employees meeting certain age and service requirements, the Company will contribute a defined dollar amount towards the cost of retiree healthcare based upon the employee’s length of service. Similarly, effective September 1, 2010, benefits under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan were frozen for all salaried employees, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company will provide an enhanced contribution under its defined contribution 401(k) plan for all eligible employees as well as a transition contribution for older employees.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended May 31, 2011 and 2010
Net Sales
Retail sales increased during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 by $164.4 million or 16.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $996.4 million to $1,160.8 million. The increase was primarily due to $162.2 million in petroleum sales, and $2.2 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales increase resulted from an 18.9% increase in retail selling prices per gallon and a 2.7 million gallon or .9% increase in sales volume. The merchandise sales increase is primarily due to increased prepared food, beverages and increased selling prices.
Costs of Goods Sold
Retail costs of goods sold increased during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 by $166.7 million or 18.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $899.1 million to $1,065.8 million. The increase was primarily due to $160.0 million in petroleum purchase prices, merchandise costs of $1.6 million, fuel taxes of $4.1 million and freight costs of $1.0 million. This increase in petroleum purchase prices resulted in lower petroleum retail margins, which is typical in a rising market when retail pricing does not keep pace with the rising market.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Retail SG&A expenses increased during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 by $2.5 million or 2.6% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $94.6 million to $97.1 million. The increase was due to payroll costs of $1.1 million, credit/customer service costs of $1.9 million, insurance/utilities/taxes of $.4 million and maintenance costs of $.3 million offset by a reduction in pension/post retirement costs of $1.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to changes made in pension/post retirement benefits, as discussed above.

Wholesale costs of goods sold decreased during the three months ended May 31, 2011 by $24.2 million or 6.8% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $355.1 million to $330.9 million. The decrease in wholesale costs of goods sold during this period was primarily due to a decrease in cost of raw materials.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Wholesale SG&A expenses decreased during the three months ended May 31, 2011 by $.7 million or 14.2% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $4.9 million or 1.4% of net wholesale sales to $4.2 million or 1.2% of net wholesale sales. The decrease was primarily due to changes made in pension/post retirement benefits, as discussed above.
Comparison of Nine Months Ended May 31, 2011 and 2010
During the first and second fiscal quarters of 2011, wholesale sales were negatively affected by the Enbridge Pipeline disruption and the 30-day scheduled refinery maintenance turnaround in October 2010. These two events resulted in the Company running an average crude throughput of 40,500 bbl per day for the first fiscal quarter 2011 versus 56,500 bbl per day for the comparable period in fiscal 2010.The average crude throughput for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 was 55,900 bbl per day as compared to 56,500 bbl per day for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010. The Enbridge Pipeline disruption also resulted in the Company running 22% of heavy crude oil for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 versus 61% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010. Heavy crude oil usage for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 was 60%, the same percentage as the comparable period in fiscal year 2010. The Company experienced no material effects in the third quarter of fiscal year 2011 as a result of the Enbridge Pipeline disruption.
Net Sales
Wholesale sales increased during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 by $34.1 million or 3.7% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $924.6 million to $958.7 million. The increase was due to a 26.5% increase in wholesale prices offset by a 18.0% decrease in wholesale volume.
Costs of Goods Sold (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
Wholesale costs of goods sold decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 by $71.6 million or 7.4% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $963.5 million to $891.9 million. The decrease in wholesale costs of goods sold was primarily due to a decrease in the costs of product purchased and refinery expenses.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Wholesale SG&A expenses decreased during the nine months ended May 31, 2011 by $4.0 million or 23.4% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $17.0 million or 1.8% of net wholesale sales to $13.0 million or 1.4% of net wholesale sales. The decrease was primarily due to changes made in pension/post retirement benefits, as discussed above.

Consolidated Expenses:
Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) for the three months ended May 31, 2011 increased $2.8 million or 30.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $9.0 million to $11.8 million. The increase was primarily due to the Company concurrently accruing interest expense on the new issue of First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 from the issue date of March 5, 2011 until the final redemption of the Senior Notes due 2012 on April 7, 2011.
Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) for the nine months ended May 31, 2011 increased $3.4 million or 13.0% for the comparable period in fiscal 2010 from $26.2 million to $29.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the Company concurrently accruing interest expense on the new issue of First Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2018 from the issue date of March 5, 2011 until the final redemption of the Senior Notes due 2012 on April 7, 2011.
Income Tax Expense / (Benefit)
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately 36% and 22% respectively and for the nine month periods was approximately 38% and 37% respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We operate in an environment where our liquidity and capital resources are impacted by changes in the price of crude oil and refined petroleum products, availability of credit, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. Included in such factors are, among others, the level of customer product demand, weather conditions, governmental regulations, worldwide political conditions and overall market and economic conditions.
The following table summarizes selected measures of liquidity and capital sources (in thousands):
May 31, 2011 | ||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 27,710 | ||
Working capital | $ | 277,989 | ||
Current ratio | 3.4 | |||
Debt | $ | 469,240 |
Primary sources of liquidity have been cash and cash equivalents, and borrowing availability under a revolving line of credit. We believe available capital resources will be adequate to meet our working capital, debt service, and capital expenditure requirements for existing operations.
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances and investments in money market funds. These investments have staggered maturity dates, none of which exceed three months. They have a high degree of liquidity since the securities are traded in public markets.

We require a substantial investment in working capital which is susceptible to large variations during the year resulting from purchases of inventory and seasonal demands. Inventory purchasing activity is a function of sales activity and turnaround cycles for the different refinery units.
Maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures have averaged approximately $6.0 million annually over the last three years for the refining and marketing operations. Management does not foresee any increase in these maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures during fiscal year 2011.
Future liquidity, both short and long-term, will continue to be primarily dependent on realizing a refinery margin sufficient to cover fixed and variable expenses, including planned capital expenditures. We expect to be able to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, contractual obligations, letter of credit and debt service requirements out of cash flow from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under our Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility is $175,000,000. This provides the Company with flexibility relative to its cash flow requirements in light of market fluctuations, particularly involving crude oil prices and seasonal business cycles

and will assist the Company in meeting its working capital, ongoing capital expenditure needs and for general corporate purposes. The agreement expires on May 18, 2016. Under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility, the applicable margin is calculated on the average unused availability as follows: (a) for base rate borrowing, at the greater of the Agent Bank’s prime rate the Federal Funds Open Rate plus 1.5%; or the Daily LIBOR rate plus 3%; plus an applicable margin of 0% to .5%; (b) for euro-rate based borrowings, at the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75% to 3.25%. The Agent Bank’s prime rate at May 31, 2011 was 3.25%.
The Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility is secured primarily by certain cash accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. Until maturity, we may borrow on a borrowing base formula as set forth in the facility. We had standby letters of credit of $4.4 million as of May 31, 2011 and there were outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of $102.0 million resulting in net availability of $68.6 million. As of July 7, 2011 there was $96.0 million outstanding on the $175 million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and standby letters of credit in the amount of $4.4 million, resulting in a net availability of $74.6 million and the Company had full access to it. The Company’s working capital ratio was 3.4 as of May 31, 2011.
On January 14, 2011, we entered into an Asphalt Purchase and Sale Agreement and Asphalt Product Throughput and Terminal Services Agreement (together, the “Asphalt Agreements”) with United Refining Asphalt, Inc. (“URA”), a special purpose entity formed by United Refining, Inc. (our “Parent”) in connection with the Asphalt Agreements, under the terms of which, we may sell asphalt to URA during the winter months at such times and in such amounts as may be mutually agreed by the parties, and are required to provide storage and related services until such asphalt is resold and delivered to third parties during the summer months. URA received financing for up to $30 million in purchases under the agreements, and was capitalized with $15 million in cash by our Parent.
We have determined that URA meets the definition of a variable interest entity and, in connection with the Asphalt Agreements, the Company is the primary beneficiary. Therefore we are required to treat URA similar to a consolidated subsidiary for financial reporting purposes. As a result, we have consolidated the financial results of URA, including its entire balance sheet with the shareholder’s equity of URA displayed as a component of equity (noncontrolling interest) and its entire income statement (after intercompany eliminations). The net income (loss) of URA will not increase (or decrease) our net income, but rather will be included in our equity section as an increase (or decrease) to noncontrolling interest.
The URA credit facility with Bank of America, N.A., acting as the Agent bank (“Agent Bank”) is secured by URA’s cash accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. The applicable margin under this facility is; (a) for base rate borrowings the Agent Bank’s prime rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75%; (b) for euro-rate based borrowings, at the LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin of 3.75%. The Agent Bank’s prime rate at May 31, 2011 was 3.25%. The $30 million facility is due to expire September 30, 2011.
As of June 14, 2011 the URA credit facility was paid in full. As of June 21, 2011 the $15.0 million advance from URA’s parent URI was paid in full, all URA inventory was liquidated and all URA sales were complete. URA has terminated its credit facility, as of the close of business on June 28, 2011.
Although we are not aware of any pending circumstances which would change our expectation, changes in the tax laws, the imposition of and changes in federal and state clean air and clean fuel requirements and other changes in environmental laws and regulations may also increase future capital expenditure levels. Future capital expenditures are also subject to business conditions affecting the industry. We continue to investigate strategic acquisitions and capital improvements to our existing facilities.
Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment affect nearly all of our operations. As is the case with all the companies engaged in similar industries, we face significant exposure from actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters. Future expenditures related to environmental
26
Table of Contents
matters cannot be reasonably quantified in many circumstances due to the uncertainties as to required remediation methods and related clean-up cost estimates. We cannot predict what additional environmental legislation or regulations will be enacted or become effective in the future or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted with respect to products or activities to which they have not been previously applied.
Seasonal Factors
Seasonal factors affecting the Company’s business may cause variation in the prices and margins of some of the Company’s products. For example, demand for gasoline tends to be highest in spring and summer months, while demand for home heating oil and kerosene tends to be highest in winter months.
As a result, the margin on gasoline prices versus crude oil costs generally tends to increase in the spring and summer, while margins on home heating oil and kerosene tend to increase in winter.
Inflation
The effect of inflation on the Company has not been significant during the last five fiscal years.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk. |
The Company uses its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility to finance a portion of its operations. As of July 7, 2011, there was $96.0 million outstanding under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. These on-balance sheet financial instruments, to the extent they provide for variable rates, expose the Company to interest rate risk resulting from changes in the PNC Prime rate, the Federal Funds or LIBOR rate.
From time to time, the Company uses derivatives to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in crude oil purchase costs and refining margins. Derivative products, specifically crude oil option contracts and crack spread option contracts are used to hedge the volatility of these items. The Company accounts for changes in the fair value of its contracts by marking them to market and recognizing any resulting gains or losses in its Statement of Operations.
During the quarter ended May 31, 2011, the Company had 5,250,000 barrels of heating oil and gasoline crackspread swaps outstanding as part of its risk management strategy. The crackspread swaps expire sequentially beginning June 2011 through December 2012. These derivative instruments are being used by the Company to lock in margins on future sales of diesel fuel and gasoline. See Footnote 2, in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Controls and Procedures. |
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2011. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
27
Table of Contents
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of May 31, 2011, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
