Note 1. Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements | |
The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Financial information as of January 31, 2014 included in these financial statements has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014 (fiscal year 2013). It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2014. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. | |
Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report include the operating results and financial position of REX American Resources Corporation and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. The Company includes the results of operations of One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) in its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a delayed basis of one month. | |
Nature of Operations – The Company operates in two reportable segments, alternative energy and real estate. |

Note 2. Accounting Policies | |||||||||
The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s fiscal year 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year-end. Examples of such estimates include accrued liabilities, such as management bonuses, and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||
Revenue Recognition | |||||||||
The Company recognizes sales from the production of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil when title transfers to customers, upon shipment from its plant. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in net sales and revenue. | |||||||||
The Company includes income from real estate leasing activities in net sales and revenue. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases. Accordingly, minimum rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | |||||||||
Cost of Sales | |||||||||
Alternative energy cost of sales includes depreciation, costs of raw materials, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, shipping costs, other distribution expenses, warehousing costs, plant management, certain compensation costs, and general facility overhead charges. | |||||||||
Real estate cost of sales includes depreciation, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other costs directly associated with operating the Company’s portfolio of real property. | |||||||||
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | |||||||||
The Company includes non-production related costs from its alternative energy segment such as professional fees, selling charges and certain payroll in selling, general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||
The Company includes costs not directly related to operating its portfolio of real property from its real estate segment such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||
The Company includes costs associated with its corporate headquarters such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses. | |||||||||
Interest Cost | |||||||||
Interest paid for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $518,000 and $900,000, respectively. Interest paid for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1,834,000 and $2,822,000, respectively. | |||||||||
Financial Instruments | |||||||||
The Company used derivative financial instruments to manage its balance of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments and do not represent an actual exchange of the notional amounts between the parties. The swap agreement, which matured during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, was not designated for hedge accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The interest rate swap is recorded at its fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as gain or loss on derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The Company paid settlements of an interest rate swap of approximately $367,000 and $416,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company paid settlements of the interest rate swap of approximately $1,142,000 and $1,278,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||||||
Forward grain purchase and ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil sale contracts are accounted for under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815 because these arrangements are for purchases of grain that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company and sales of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil quantities expected to be produced by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. | |||||||||
Income Taxes | |||||||||
The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company’s estimated annual tax rate. The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company paid income taxes of $22,829,000 and $2,150,000 during the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |||||||||
As of October 31, 2014, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $1,451,000 and accrued penalties and interest were approximately $453,000. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $24,000 of the reserve would benefit the effective tax rate. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. | |||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. Alternative energy segment inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-products. Inventory is permanently written down for instances when cost exceeds estimated net realizable value; such write-downs are based primarily upon commodity prices as the market value of inventory is often dependent upon changes in commodity prices. There was no material permanent write-down of inventory at October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Fluctuations in the write-down of inventory generally relate to the levels and composition of such inventory at a given point in time. The components of inventory at October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014 are as follows (amounts in thousands): | |||||||||
October 31, | January 31, | ||||||||

Grain and other raw materials | 6,962 | 12,836 | |||||||
Total | $ | 11,496 | $ | 19,370 | |||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 20 years for fixtures and equipment. | |||||||||
Investments | |||||||||
The method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee and also includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates the results of two majority owned subsidiaries, One Earth and NuGen. The results of One Earth are included on a delayed basis of one month. The Company accounts for investments in limited liability companies in which it may have a less than 20% ownership interest, using the equity method of accounting when the factors discussed in ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” are met. The excess of the carrying value over the underlying equity in the net assets of equity method investees is allocated to specific assets and liabilities. Any unallocated excess is treated as goodwill and is recorded as a component of the carrying value of the equity method investee. Investments in businesses that the Company does not control but for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the cost method. The Company accounts for its investments in Big River Resources, LLC (“Big River”) and Patriot Holdings, LLC (“Patriot”) using the equity method of accounting and includes the results of these entities on a delayed basis of one month. | |||||||||
The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, in addition to persistent, declining market prices, general economic and company-specific evaluations. If the Company determines that a decline in market value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and a new cost basis in the investment is established. | |||||||||
Comprehensive Income | |||||||||
The Company has no components of other comprehensive income, and therefore, comprehensive income equals net income. | |||||||||
Accounting Changes and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |||||||||
Effective February 1, 2014, the Company was required to adopt Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”), “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. The update requires, unless certain conditions exists, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 was effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not impact the Company’s financial statements. | |||||||||
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”), “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” that changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation. Under this new guidance, only disposals of a component that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. Expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting are also required. ASU 2014-08 is effective beginning February 1, 2015 with early adoption permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in previously-issued financial statements. Management has not determined the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue From Contracts With Customers”. The update requires revenue recognition to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and replaces existing revenue recognition guidance. The updated standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09 effective February 1, 2017. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | ' | ||||||||||||||||
Note 4. Fair Value | |||||||||||||||||
The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. This accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820. ASC 820 requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values which are provided below. The Company carries cash equivalents, investment in cooperative, certain restricted investments and derivative liabilities at fair value. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally or corroborated by observable market data. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methods, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Unobservable inputs shall be developed based on the best information available, which may include the Company’s own data. | |||||||||||||||||
The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by using quantitative models that discount future cash flows using the LIBOR forward interest rate curve. Estimation risk is greater for derivative asset and liability positions that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case interest rate, price or index scenarios are extrapolated in order to determine the fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality, the Company’s own credit standing and other specific factors, where appropriate. | |||||||||||||||||
The fair values of property and equipment, as applicable, are determined by using various models that discount future expected cash flows. Estimation risk is greater for vacant properties as the probability of expected cash flows from the use of vacant properties is difficult to predict. | |||||||||||||||||
To ensure the prudent application of estimates and management judgment in determining the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities and property and equipment, various processes and controls have been adopted, which include: model validation that requires a review and approval for pricing, financial statement fair value determination and risk quantification; periodic review and substantiation of profit and loss reporting for all derivative instruments and property and equipment items. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company determined the fair value of the investment in cooperative by using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. Inputs used in the analysis include the face value of the allocated equity amount, the projected term for repayment based upon a historical trend, and a risk adjusted discount rate based on the expected compensation participants would demand because of the uncertainty of the future cash flows. The inherent risk and uncertainty associated with unobservable inputs could have a significant effect on the actual fair value of the investment. | |||||||||||||||||

One Earth Energy Subsidiary Level Debt | |
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2009, pursuant to the terms of the loan agreement, One Earth converted its construction loan into a term loan. On September 3, 2013, One Earth entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with First National Bank of Omaha (“the Bank”). The amendment included a refinance amount of approximately $44,101,000 (the remaining balance of the original loan) which bears interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points (3.2% at October 31, 2014). Quarterly principal payments of approximately $2.0 million are due beginning January 8, 2014 and ending July 8, 2016. Principal payments equal to 20% of annual excess cash flows are also due. Such payments cannot exceed $6 million in a year or $18 million in the aggregate. This amendment did not significantly change requirements regarding financial covenants. Subsequent to September 30, 2014 (the end of One Earth’s third quarter), One Earth made a discretionary accelerated principal payment of $10.0 million; this amount is included in current portion of long term debt in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Subsequent to October 31, 2014, One Earth paid off the remaining $14.0 million of outstanding long-term debt and terminated its debt agreement with the Bank. | |
Borrowings are secured by all of the assets of One Earth. This debt is recourse only to One Earth and not to REX American Resources Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. As of October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, approximately $24.0 million and $39.1 million, respectively, was outstanding on the term loan. One Earth is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including debt service coverage ratio requirements and working capital requirements. | |
One Earth had a $10.0 million revolving loan facility that was to mature July 31, 2015. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 265 basis points. One Earth had no outstanding borrowings on the revolving loan as of October 31, 2014 or January 31, 2014. This facility was cancelled in connection with the termination of the debt agreement with the Bank. | |
The Company’s proportionate share of restricted net assets related to One Earth was approximately $109.4 million and $86.9 million at October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Restricted net assets may not be paid in the form of dividends or advances to the parent company or other members of One Earth per the terms of the loan agreement with the Bank. | |
One Earth entered into a forward interest rate swap in the notional amount of $50.0 million with the Bank. The swap fixed a portion of the variable interest rate of the term loan subsequent to the plant completion date at 7.9%. At January 31, 2014, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $1.1 million related to the fair value of the swap. The change in fair value is recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The swap matured during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014. | |
NuGen Energy Subsidiary Level Debt | |
In November 2011, NuGen entered into a $65,000,000 financing agreement consisting of a term loan for $55,000,000 and a $10,000,000 annually renewable revolving loan with the Bank. Effective May 31, 2014, NuGen entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with the Bank. The amendment included a refinance amount of $30,000,000 (the remaining balance of the original loan) which bears interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 300 basis points (3.2% at October 31, 2014). Beginning with the first quarterly payment on August 1, 2014, payments are due in 20 quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 60 month amortization schedule. Principal payments equal to 20% of annual excess cash flows are also due. Such payments cannot exceed $6 million in a year. This amendment did not significantly change requirements regarding financial covenants. Subsequent to October 31, 2014, NuGen paid off the remaining $9.5 million of outstanding long-term debt and terminated its debt agreement with the Bank. | |
Borrowings are secured by all of the assets of NuGen. This debt is recourse only to NuGen and not to REX American Resources Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. As of October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, approximately $9.5 million and $36.6 million, respectively, was outstanding on the term loan. NuGen is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including debt service coverage ratio requirements and working capital requirements. | |
NuGen had a $10.0 million revolving loan facility that was to mature May 31, 2015. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 275 basis points. NuGen had no outstanding borrowings on the revolving loan as of October 31, 2014 or January 31, 2014. This facility was cancelled in connection with the termination of the debt agreement with the Bank. | |
The Company’s proportionate share of restricted net assets related to NuGen was approximately $103.4 million and $66.1 million at October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Restricted net assets may not be paid in the form of dividends or advances to the parent company or other members of NuGen per the terms of the loan agreement with the Bank. |

The Company used an interest rate swap, which expired during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, to manage its interest rate exposure at One Earth by fixing the interest rate on a portion of the entity’s variable rate debt. The Company does not engage in trading activities involving derivative contracts for which a lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques. | |
As the interest rate swap was not designated as a cash flow hedge, the unrealized gain and loss on the derivative is reported in current earnings. The Company reported a gain of $4,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2014 and a loss of $23,000 in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The Company reported losses of $1,000 and $29,000 in the first nine months of fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ' |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s fiscal year 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. | ||
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
The Company recognizes sales from the production of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil when title transfers to customers, upon shipment from its plant. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in net sales and revenue. | ||
The Company includes income from real estate leasing activities in net sales and revenue. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases. Accordingly, minimum rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | ||
Cost of Sales, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
Alternative energy cost of sales includes depreciation, costs of raw materials, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, shipping costs, other distribution expenses, warehousing costs, plant management, certain compensation costs, and general facility overhead charges. | ||
Real estate cost of sales includes depreciation, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other costs directly associated with operating the Company’s portfolio of real property. | ||
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
The Company includes non-production related costs from its alternative energy segment such as professional fees, selling charges and certain payroll in selling, general and administrative expenses. | ||
The Company includes costs not directly related to operating its portfolio of real property from its real estate segment such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses. | ||
The Company includes costs associated with its corporate headquarters such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses. | ||
Interest Expense, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
Interest paid for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $518,000 and $900,000, respectively. | Interest paid for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $1,834,000 and $2,822,000, respectively. | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
The Company used derivative financial instruments to manage its balance of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments and do not represent an actual exchange of the notional amounts between the parties. The swap agreement, which matured during the third quarter of fiscal year 2014, was not designated for hedge accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The interest rate swap is recorded at its fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as gain or loss on derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The Company paid settlements of an interest rate swap of approximately $367,000 and $416,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company paid settlements of the interest rate swap of approximately $1,142,000 and $1,278,000 for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||
Forward grain purchase and ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil sale contracts are accounted for under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815 because these arrangements are for purchases of grain that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company and sales of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil quantities expected to be produced by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business. | ||
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company’s estimated annual tax rate. The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company paid income taxes of $22,829,000 and $2,150,000 during the nine months ended October 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. | ||
As of October 31, 2014, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $1,451,000 and accrued penalties and interest were approximately $453,000. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $24,000 of the reserve would benefit the effective tax rate. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. | ||
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. Alternative energy segment inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-products. Inventory is permanently written down for instances when cost exceeds estimated net realizable value; such write-downs are based primarily upon commodity prices as the market value of inventory is often dependent upon changes in commodity prices. There was no material permanent write-down of inventory at October 31, 2014 and January 31, 2014, respectively. Fluctuations in the write-down of inventory generally relate to the levels and composition of such inventory at a given point in time. | ||
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
The method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee and also includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates the results of two majority owned subsidiaries, One Earth and NuGen. The results of One Earth are included on a delayed basis of one month. The Company accounts for investments in limited liability companies in which it may have a less than 20% ownership interest, using the equity method of accounting when the factors discussed in ASC 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” are met. The excess of the carrying value over the underlying equity in the net assets of equity method investees is allocated to specific assets and liabilities. Any unallocated excess is treated as goodwill and is recorded as a component of the carrying value of the equity method investee. Investments in businesses that the Company does not control but for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in which the Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the cost method. The Company accounts for its investments in Big River Resources, LLC (“Big River”) and Patriot Holdings, LLC (“Patriot”) using the equity method of accounting and includes the results of these entities on a delayed basis of one month. | ||
The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, in addition to persistent, declining market prices, general economic and company-specific evaluations. If the Company determines that a decline in market value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and a new cost basis in the investment is established. | ||
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
The Company has no components of other comprehensive income, and therefore, comprehensive income equals net income. | ||
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' | ' |
Effective February 1, 2014, the Company was required to adopt Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”), “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. The update requires, unless certain conditions exists, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 was effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not impact the Company’s financial statements. | ||
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-08 (“ASU 2014-08”), “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” that changes the criteria for reporting a discontinued operation. Under this new guidance, only disposals of a component that represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results is a discontinued operation. Expanded disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of a significant part of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations reporting are also required. ASU 2014-08 is effective beginning February 1, 2015 with early adoption permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in previously-issued financial statements. Management has not determined the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue From Contracts With Customers”. The update requires revenue recognition to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and replaces existing revenue recognition guidance. The updated standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company will be required to adopt ASU 2014-09 effective February 1, 2017. The Company has not determined the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
