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, and Kiantone Pipeline Corporation (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® 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 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending August 31, 2012. 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, 2011.

 

Certain items have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

2.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on fair value measurement and related disclosures. The new guidance clarifies the concepts applicable for fair value measurement of non-financial assets and requires the disclosure of quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in a fair value measurement. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and will be applied prospectively. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this amended guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued amended guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates one of the presentation options provided by current U.S. GAAP, that is, to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, it gives an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In September 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the accounting guidance on goodwill impairment testing. The amendments are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The amendments in this accounting standard update are effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this accounting standard update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

3.

Derivative 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, historically crude oil option contracts (puts) and crackspread option contracts have been used to hedge the volatility of these items. The Company does not enter such contracts for speculative purposes. 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. The Company includes the carrying amounts of the contracts in derivative asset or derivative liability in its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

At February 29, 2012, the Company had 2,130,000 barrels of heating oil and gasoline crackspread swaps outstanding as part of its risk management strategy. This represents approximately 26.7% of the Company’s scheduled motor gasoline production through March 2012 and approximately 43.0% of scheduled distillate production through December 2012. These crackspread swap contracts expire sequentially beginning March 2012 through December 2012. These derivative instruments are being used by the Company to lock in margins on future sales by the Company of heating oil and gasoline.

 

The fair value and balance sheet classification of our derivative instruments at February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011 are as follows:

As of February 29, 2012, $2,686,000 of contributions have been made to the Company pension plans for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2012.

 

In November 2011, the Company reached an agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 95, which represents the employees operating the refinery. The new agreement is effective February 1, 2012 and expires on February 1, 2017. Under the new collective bargaining agreement (Agreement), changes were made to healthcare and pension benefits provided by the Company. Effective February 1, 2012, medical benefits in retirement for new hires and active employees covered under the Agreement were eliminated. For employees covered under the Agreement 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 February 1, 2012, benefits under the Company’s defined benefit pension plan sponsored for employees covered under the agreement were frozen. The Company will provide an enhanced contribution under its defined contribution 401 (k) plan as well as a transition contribution for older employees. Additionally, deductibles and co-payments will be added to the medical benefits for employees covered under the Agreement.

 

As a result of the November, 2011 agreement and related plan design changes, a remeasurement of fiscal year 2012 expense pursuant to ASC 715-30 and ASC 715-60 was required, resulting in plan curtailments. As a result of such curtailments during the quarter ended November 30, 2011, the pension liability was reduced by $4,743,000 with a credit to accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) of $4,552,000 and a credit to income of $191,000. Further, the postretirement welfare plan liability was reduced by $12,161,000 and AOCL credited for $12,298,000, with a charge to income of $137,000. The activity in AOCL was recorded net of related income tax effects.

The Company accrues post-retirement benefits other than pensions, during the years that the employees render the necessary service, of the expected cost of providing those benefits to an employee and the employee’s beneficiaries and covered dependents.

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 (was less than) exceeded the carrying value of the senior notes at February 29, 2012 and August 31, 2011 by $(9,199,000) and $6,684,000, respectively.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

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;

 

 

 

acts of terrorism and war;

 

 

 

business strategies;

 

 

 

expansion and growth of operations;

 

 

 

future projects and investments;

Table of Contents
 

 

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;

 

 

 

future operating results and financial condition; and

 

 

 

the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.

 

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 volatility of the petroleum market in fiscal year 2012. The average NYMEX crude price for the third fiscal quarter based on values published on April 5, 2012 was $103.93/bbl, a $5.24/bbl or 5.3% increase from the average price for the second fiscal quarter of 2012 which was $98.69/bbl.

 

The lagged 3-2-1 crackspread, as measured by the difference between the price of crude oil contracts traded on the NYMEX for the preceding month to the prices of NYMEX gasoline and heating oil contracts in the current trading month, benefited from the rising petroleum market. The Company uses a lagged crackspread as a margin indicator as it reflects the time period between the purchase of crude oil and its delivery to the refinery for processing. The lagged crackspread for the third quarter of fiscal year 2012 based on values as of April 5, 2012, was $33.71/bbl or a 50.2% increase from the lagged crackspread for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 which was $22.45/bbl.

 

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 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.

 

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 February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011

 

Net Sales

 

Retail sales increased during the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2012 by $35.0 million or 9.6% from the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $364.8 million to $399.8 million. The increase was due to $31.1 million in petroleum sales and $3.9 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales increase resulted from a 10.2% increase in retail selling prices per gallon. The merchandise sales increase is primarily due to increased prepared food, beverages and cigarette sales due to promotional campaigns and increased selling prices.

 

Costs of Goods Sold

 

Retail costs of goods sold increased during the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2012 by $33.3 million or 9.8% from the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $340.1 million to $373.4 million. The increase was due to $28.9 million in petroleum cost, merchandise cost of $3.0 million, freight cost of $.8 million and fuel tax of $.6 million.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Retail Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased during the fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2012 by $.7 million or 2.2% from the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $32.3 million to $33.0 million. The increase was primarily due to payroll costs of $.6 million and credit/customer service costs of $.1 million.

Comparison of Six Months Ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011

 

Net Sales

 

Retail sales increased during the six months ended February 29, 2012 by $104.1 million or 14.5% for the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $716.0 million to $820.1 million. The increase was primarily due to $96.5 million in petroleum sales, and $7.6 million in merchandise sales. The petroleum sales increase resulted from a 17.3% increase in retail selling prices per gallon offset by a 1.6 million gallon or .8% decrease in sales volume. The merchandise sales increase is primarily due to increased prepared food, beverages and cigarette sales due to promotional campaigns and increased selling prices.

 

Costs of Goods Sold

 

Retail costs of goods sold increased during the six months ended February 29, 2012 by $93.2 million or 14.1% for the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $659.7 million to $752.9 million. The increase was primarily due to $84.2 million in petroleum purchase prices, merchandise costs of $5.9 million, fuel taxes of $.9 million and freight costs of $2.2 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 six months ended February 29, 2012 by $2.5 million or 3.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $63.8 million to $66.3 million. The increase was due to payroll costs of $.9 million, credit/customer service costs of $.8 million, advertising costs of $.2 million, supplies cost of $.2 million, maintenance costs of $.2 million and other costs of $.2 million.

The increase was due primarily to additional payroll costs of $.2 million, charitable contributions of $.1 million and professional fees of $.1 million.

 

Comparison of Six Months Ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011

 

Net Sales

 

Wholesale sales increased during the six months ended February 29, 2012 by $377.3 million or 63.4% from the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $595.4 million to $972.7 million. The increase was due to a 16.7% increase in wholesale prices and a 40.0% increase in wholesale volume.

Wholesale costs of goods sold increased during the six months ended February 29, 2012 by $301.4 million or 53.7% for the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $560.9 million to $862.3 million. The increase in wholesale costs of goods sold was primarily due to an increase in the cost of raw materials and volumes.

 

Losses / (Gain) on Derivative Contracts

 

For the six months ended February 29, 2012, the Company recognized $(9,160,000) of realized losses and $48,612,000 of unrealized gains in its Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Wholesale SG&A expenses increased during the six months ended February 29, 2012 by $3.5 million or 39.9% for the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $8.8 million or 1.5% of net wholesale sales to $12.3 million or 1.3% of net wholesale sales. The increase was primarily due to additional payroll costs and professional services.

 

Consolidated Expenses:

 

Interest Expense, net

 

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) for the three months ended February 29, 2012 increased $1.3 million or 15.6% from the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $8.9 million to $10.3 million.

 

Net interest expense (interest expense less interest income) for the six months ended February 29, 2012 increased $2.7 million or 15.0% from the comparable period in fiscal 2011 from $17.8 million to $20.5 million. In March 2011, the Company refinanced its outstanding Senior Note principal balance of $324.0 million due 2012 with Senior Notes due 2018 with a principal amount of $365.0 million. The increased interest expense incurred between first fiscal quarter 2011 and 2012 is due to the increased principal amount of the notes outstanding.

 

Income Tax Expense / (Benefit)

 

The Company’s effective tax rate for both three months and six months ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 were approximately 41% and 36% respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the prior period was due to the Company recording a valuation allowance for Pennsylvania Net Operating tax losses.

 

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

Table of Contents

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 retail operations. Management does not foresee any increase in these maintenance and non-discretionary capital expenditures during fiscal year 2012.

 

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 $175,000,000 Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility. 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 February 29, 2012 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 $6.5 million as of February 29, 2012 and there were $66.0 million outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility resulting in net availability of $102.5 million. As of April 11, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings on the $175 million Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility and standby letters of credit in the amount of $6.5 million, resulting in a net availability of $168.5 million. The Company’s working capital ratio was 4.1 as of February 29, 2012.

 

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 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.

 

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

The Company uses its Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility to finance a portion of its operations. 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. As of April 11, 2012, there were no outstanding borrowings under the Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Facility.

 

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 February 29, 2012, the Company had 2,130,000 barrels of heating oil and gasoline crackspread swaps outstanding as part of its risk management strategy. The crackspread swaps expire sequentially beginning March 2012 through December 2012. These derivative instruments are being used by the Company to lock in margins on future sales by the Company of heating oil and gasoline. See also Footnote 3 in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Item 4.

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 February 29, 2012. 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 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 February 29, 2012, 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 February 29, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
