Predecessor of Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and for the 62 Day Period Ended March 2,
2004
(1) Organization and Nature of Business and the Transaction
General
Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC (Coffeyville, Successor or the Company) is a Delaware limited liability company which on March 3, 2004, acting through
wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired the assets of the former Farmland Industries, Inc. (Farmland) Petroleum Division and one facility located in Coffeyville, Kansas within Farmland's
eight-plant Nitrogen Fertilizer Manufacturing and Marketing Division (collectively, the Predecessor). Farmland was a farm supply cooperative and a processing and marketing cooperative. The Predecessor
operated as a division of Farmland (Petroleum), and a plant within a division of Farmland (Nitrogen Fertilizer). The accompanying Predecessor financial statements principally reflect the refining,
crude oil gathering, and petroleum distribution operations of Farmland and the only coke gasification plant of Farmland's nitrogen fertilizer operations. Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC, acting
through wholly-owned subsidiaries, is an independent petroleum refiner and marketer in the mid-continental United States and a producer and marketer of upgraded nitrogen fertilizer
products in North America. Operations are organized into two business segments: Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer.
The
Petroleum Segment operates as a mid-continent refiner and through November 30, 2001, participated as a wholesale distributor of petroleum products through a joint
venture arrangement (see Note 5). The principal products of this segment are refined fuels, propane, and by-products of the petroleum refinery. The Predecessor owns, manages, and
operates a petroleum refinery at Coffeyville, Kansas with an approximate capacity of 100,000 barrels per day and a crude oil gathering system in Kansas and Oklahoma. The refinery converts crude oil
into refined products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, and distillates. During the year ended December 31, 2003 and the 62 days ended March 2, 2004, the Petroleum Segment's pipeline
and truck gathering systems collected approximately 17% of its crude oil supplies under agreements with producers near its refinery. Additional supplies were acquired from diversified sources and
delivered through a regional pipeline hub.
The
Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment operates a coke gasification plant that produces high-purity hydrogen which is subsequently converted to ammonia, some of which is upgraded to
urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) at the Predecessor's UAN plant collectively referred to as the Coffeyville nitrogen plant. For the year ending December 31, 2003 and the 62 day period ending
March 2, 2004, approximately 80% and 75%, respectively, of the petroleum coke used at the nitrogen fertilizer plant was sourced from the Predecessor's adjacent refinery. The plant experienced
on-stream factors for the ammonia plant of 66.8%, 78.6%, 89.4% and 89.5% for the years ending December 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 and for the 62-day period ending
March 2, 2004, respectively. The on-stream factor represents the number of hours in the year the plant operated divided by the total number of hours in the year stated as a
percentage. The increasing on-stream factor was a result of improved operating and maintenance techniques developed from operating experience and technical studies.
On May 31, 2002 (the Petition Date), Farmland Industries, Inc. and four of its subsidiaries, Farmland Foods, Inc., Farmland Pipeline
Company, Inc., Farmland Transportation, Inc., and SFA, Inc. (collectively, the Debtors or Farmland), filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Missouri (the Court). The Petroleum and Nitrogen Divisions were divisions of
F-7
Farmland,
and therefore their assets and liabilities were included in the bankruptcy filings. Farmland continued to manage the business as debtor-in-possession but could not
engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the approval of the Court.
As
a result of the filing on May 31, 2002 of petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Debtors, the accompanying Predecessor's financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code
, and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, applicable to a going concern, which, unless otherwise
noted, assume the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. See Note 3,
Summary of Significant Accounting
PoliciesLiabilities Subject to Compromise
, for additional information regarding SOP 90-7.
As
debtors-in-possession, the Debtors, subject to any required Court approval, may elect to assume or reject real estate leases, employment contracts, personal
property leases, service contracts, and other unexpired executory pre-petition contracts. Damages related to rejected contracts are a pre-petition claim. The Petroleum segment
had no material accruals for any damages as of March 2, 2004. The Nitrogen Fertilizer segment rejected an operating and maintenance agreement with a vendor resulting in an accrual of
approximately $1,250,000 as of March 2, 2004 which was charged to reorganization expenses in the year ending December 31, 2003.
Pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, on November 27, 2002, the Debtors filed with the Court a Plan of Reorganization under which the Debtors' liabilities and equity
interests would be restructured. Subsequently, on July 31, 2003, the Debtors filed with the Court an Amended Plan of Reorganization. The Amended Plan of Reorganization, (the Amended Plan) as
filed, in effect contemplated that the Debtors would continue in existence solely for the purpose of liquidating any remaining assets of the estate, including the Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer
egments. In accordance with the Amended Plan, on October 10, 2003 the Court entered an order approving the auction and bid procedures for the sale of the Petroleum Division and Coffeyville
nitrogen fertilizer plant to subsidiaries of Coffeyville. Through an auction process conducted by the court on March 3, 2004, the assets of the Predecessor were sold to the Company for
$106,727,365 and the assumption of $23,216,554 of liabilities. The company also paid transactions costs of $9,871,964. The Company's primary reason for the purchase was the belief that
long-term fundamentals for the refining industry were strengthening and the capital requirement was within their desired investment range. The cost of the acquisition was financed through
long-term borrowings of approximately $60.7 million and the
F-8
issuance
of capital shares of equity of approximately $63.2 million. The allocation of the purchase price at March 3, 2004, the date of the acquisition, is as follows:

(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Predecessor financial statements reflect an allocation of certain general corporate expenses of Farmland, including general and corporate
insurance, corporate retirement and benefits, human resources and payroll department salaries, facility costs, information services, and information systems support. Those costs allocated to the
Predecessor were $4,231,036, $6,324,513, $12,709,178 and $3,802,996 for 2001, 2002, 2003, and the 62 day period ending March 2, 2004, respectively. These allocations were based on a
variety of factors dependent on the nature of the costs, including fixed asset levels, administrative headcount, and production headcount. Beginning in 2002, the Petroleum Division and Coffeyville
nitrogen plant represented a continually increasing percentage of the Predecessor's business as a result of the Predecessor's restructuring efforts, which by December 2003 included the
disposition of nearly all the Predecessors operating assets with the exception of the Petroleum Division and Coffeyville nitrogen plant. As a result, the Petroleum Division and Coffeyville nitrogen
plant were allocated a higher percentage of corporate cost in 2002 than 2001 and an even larger percentage in 2003 and the 62 day period ending on March 2, 2004. The allocation of theses
costs are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone entity. Reorganization expenses for legal and professional fees incurred by
Farmland in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings were not allocated to the Predecessor. In addition, umbrella property insurance premiums were allocated across Farmland's divisions based on
recoverable values. Property insurance costs allocated to the Predecessor were $1,943,451, $2,111,004, $2,060,532 and $357,324 for the years ended 2001, 2002, 2003, and the 62 day period ending
March 2, 2004, respectively. All interest expense prior to the Petition Date and interest on secured borrowings subsequent to the Petition Date were allocated based on identifiable net assets
of each of Farmland's divisions. Under bankruptcy law, payment of interest on Farmland's unsecured debt was stayed
F-9
beginning
on the Petition Date. Accordingly, Farmland did not allocate any interest on its unsecured borrowings to the Predecessor since its Petition Date. Management believes all allocations
described above were made on a reasonable basis.
Farmland
used a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its operations. As a result, amounts owed to or from Farmland are reflected as a component of divisional
equity on the accompanying balance sheets.
The
Predecessor was not a separate legal entity, and its operating results were included with the operating results of Farmland and its subsidiaries in filing consolidated Federal and
state income tax returns. As a cooperative, Farmland was subject to income taxes on all income not distributed to patrons as qualified patronage refunds and Farmland did not allocate income taxes to
its divisions. As a result, the accompanying Predecessor financial statements do not reflect any provision for income taxes.
(3) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purpose of the statements of cash flows, the Predecessor considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less be cash
equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
The Predecessor granted credit to its customers. Credit is extended based on the evaluation of a customer's financial condition; generally, collateral is not
required. Accounts receivable are due on negotiated terms and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than their contractual
payment terms are considered past due. The Predecessor determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors including the length of time trade accounts are past due, the
customer's ability to pay its obligations to the Predecessor, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Predecessor writes off accounts receivable when they become
uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. At December 31, 2002, substantially all accounts receivable were from
two customers. At December 31, 2003, 38% of the accounts receivable balance was from one customer
.
At March 2, 2004, four customers each
individually represented greater than 10% and collectively represented 53% of the accounts receivable balance. The largest concentration to any one customer at March 2, 2004 was 16% of the
accounts receivable balance.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of crude oil, blending stock and components, work in progress, fertilizer products, and refined fuels and by-products
which are valued at the lower of moving average cost, which approximates first-in first-out (FIFO), or market for fertilizer products and lower of FIFO cost or market for
refined fuels and by-products for all years presented. Refinery unfinished and finished products inventory values were determined using the "ability to bare" process, whereby raw materials
and production costs are allocated to work-in-process and finished products based on their relative fair values. Other inventories, including other raw materials, spare parts,
and supplies, are
F-10
valued
at the lower of average cost which approximates FIFO or market. The cost of inventories includes inbound freight costs.
In
connection with the initial distribution of the accompanying Predecessor financial statements for purposes of effecting a business combination, the Predecessor changed its method of
accounting for inventories from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the FIFO method. Management believes the FIFO method is preferable in the circumstances because the FIFO
method is considered to represent a better matching of costs with related revenues under current volatile market conditions. Accordingly, crude oil, blending stock and components, work in progress,
and refined fuels and by-products are valued at the lower of FIFO cost or market for all years presented.
Prepayment for Crude Oil
Subsequent to the Petition Date, Predecessor was required to prepay for crude oil deliveries to the refinery. As of December 31, 2003, $24,986,936 had been
paid for crude oil for which title had not transferred to the Predecessor.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using principally the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The
useful lives are as follows:
Range of useful
lives, in years
Improvements to land
15 to 20
Buildings
20 to 30
Machinery and equipment
5 to 30
Automotive equipment
5
Furniture and fixtures
3 to 5
The
Coffeyville nitrogen plant fixed assets were financed through an operating lease through February 8, 2002. On February 8, 2002, Farmland prepaid the outstanding balance
of the operating lease and collateralized the assets into its newly refinanced credit facility. These assets of approximately $260 million were recorded in the accompanying 2002 balance sheet
through a contribution of divisional equity.
Planned Major Maintenance Costs
The direct-expense method of accounting is used for planned major maintenance activities. Maintenance costs are recognized as expense as maintenance services are
performed. During 2002, the Coffeyville petroleum refinery was shut down for approximately four weeks in order to perform planned major maintenance. Normal operation levels were not reached for an
additional two weeks. Costs associated with this shutdown are included in cost of goods sold for the year ending December 31, 2002, and were approximately $16,998,000. Due to the startup nature
of the Nitrogen Fertilizer operations for the reporting period, no major maintenance cost has been incurred or recognized in the Predecessor periods.
F-11
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
During 2001, the Predecessor accounted for long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting for
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of
(SFAS 121). SFAS 121
was superseded by SFAS 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
, which was adopted by the Predecessor
effective January 1, 2002.
In
accordance with both SFAS No. 144 and SFAS No. 121, the Predecessor reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated
undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeded its estimated future undiscounted net cash flows, an impairment charge was
recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value less
cost to sell.
In
its Plan of Reorganization, Farmland stated, among other things, its intent to dispose of its petroleum and nitrogen assets. Despite this stated intent, these assets were not
classified as held for sale under SFAS 144 because, ultimately, any disposition required approval of the Court and the Court did not ultimately approve such disposition until March 3,
2004. Since Farmland determined that it was more likely than not that its petroleum and nitrogen fertilizer assets would be disposed of, those assets were tested for impairment in 2002 pursuant to
SFAS 144, using projected undiscounted net cash flows based on Farmland's best assumptions regarding the use and eventual disposition of those assets. Based
on the tests, assumptions and determinations as of the impairment testing date, the assets were determined to be impaired. Farmland's best estimate at December 31, 2002 was that the carrying
value of these assets exceeded the fair value expected to be received on disposition of these assets by $375,068,359. Accordingly, an impairment charge was recognized for such amount in 2002. The
ultimate proceeds from disposition of these assets resulted from a bidding and auction process conducted in the bankruptcy proceedings. This process led to an additional impairment charge of
$9,638,626 recorded in September of 2003 when Farmland management's estimate was refined to reflect additional current information regarding the ultimate disposition of these assets.
Investments
Investments in entities over which the Predecessor exercises significant influence (generally 20% to 50% voting control) are accounted for by the equity method.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognized when the product is delivered and all significant obligations of Predecessor have been satisfied. Deferred sales represent customer
prepayments under contracts to guarantee a price and supply of nitrogen fertilizer in quantities expected to be delivered in the next 12 months in the normal course of business.
F-12
Shipping Costs
Pass-through finished goods delivery costs reimbursed by customers are reported in sales, while an offsetting expense is included in cost of goods
sold.
Derivative Commodity Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Predecessor used futures contracts, options, and forward contracts primarily to reduce the exposure to changes in crude oil prices and to provide economic
hedges of inventory positions and forecasted transactions. These derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Accordingly, these instruments are recorded in the
consolidated balance sheets at fair value, and each period's gain or loss is recorded as a component of other income (expense) in accordance with FASB-issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
, as amended by No. 149 (SFAS 149)
Amendment of Statement 133 on
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
.
Financial
instruments consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, as a result of the
short-term nature of the instruments.
Environmental Expenditures
Liabilities related to remediation of past environmental contamination of properties are recognized when the related costs are considered probable and can be
reasonably estimated. Estimates of these costs are based upon currently available facts, existing technology, site-specific costs, and currently enacted laws and regulations. In reporting
environmental liabilities, no offset is made for potential recoveries. All liabilities are monitored and adjusted as new facts or changes in law or technology occur. Environmental expenditures are
capitalized when such costs provide future economic benefits.
Liabilities Subject to Compromise
As a result of the filed petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Predecessor's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with SOP'S
90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code
. Virtually all liabilities, litigation, and other claims
against the Debtors that were in existence as of the Petition Date are stayed unless the stay is modified or lifted or the Court authorizes payment. SOP 90-7 does not change the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of financial statements. However, it does require that the financial statements for the
periods including and subsequent to filing the Chapter 11 petition distinguish transactions and events which are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the
business.
SOP
90-7 requires (a) that pre-petition liabilities which are subject to compromise be segregated in the balance sheet as liabilities subject to
compromise, and (b) that revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses resulting from the reorganization of the Debtors be reported separately as reorganization
expenses in the statement of operations. Liabilities subject to compromise were not assumed by Successor in the transaction described in Note 1.
F-13
As
a result of the Chapter 11 filings, substantially all pre-petition indebtedness of the Debtors was subject to compromise or other treatment under the Plan of
Reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-Chapter 11 liabilities are stayed. These claims are reflected in the accompanying balance sheets as
liabilities subject to compromise. Pre-petition claims secured by the Debtors' assets are also stayed, although the holders of such claims have the right to move the Court for relief from
the stay. For the Petroleum Division, the pre-petition secured claims primarily represent environmental liabilities. These secured claims have not been reflected as liabilities subject to
compromise. Following the Chapter 11 filings, the Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer Divisions paid undisputed post-petition claims of all vendors and suppliers in the ordinary course of
business. As of December 31, 2002 and 2003 and March 2, 2004 liabilities subject to compromise consisted of the following (in thousands):

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Per share data has been omitted because, under Farmland's cooperative structure, earnings of the Predecessor were distributed as patronage dividends to members
and associate members based on the level of business conducted with the Predecessor as opposed to a common shareholder's proportionate share of underlying equity in the Predecessor.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June of 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
". This
statement provides accounting and disclosure requirements for retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets and became effective January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143
requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred with the associated asset retirement costs being capitalized as a
part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. SFAS No. 143 also includes disclosure requirements that provide a description of asset retirement obligations and reconciliation
of changes in the components of those obligations. The Predecessor increased its environmental accrual by $1,018,461 as result of its implementation of SFAS No. 143. The
F-14
accrued
amount was recognized in the selling, general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2003.
In
April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149 (SFAS 149),
Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities
. SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 except for contracts entered into during fiscal quarters that began
prior to June 15, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. All provisions of this statement have been applied prospectively with no significant impact to the
Predecessor's financial condition or results of operations.
In
May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 (SFAS 150),
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments
with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity
. SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with
characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument which is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS 150
is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Predecessor does not have financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity; therefore, the
adoption of this statement has not had an impact on the Predecessor's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In
December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (FIN 46(R)),
Consolidation of Variable-Interest Entities
.
FIN 46(R) requires that variable-interest entities be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. FIN 46(R) became effective for all public entities by the end of the first reporting period ending
after December 15, 2003. The Predecessor does not have investments in or any relationships with any variable-interest entities, and therefore the adoption of this statement has not had an
impact on the Predecessor's consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

(5) Joint VentureCountry Energy, LLC
In September 1998, Farmland and Cenex Harvest States formed a joint venture, Country Energy, LLC (Country Energy), to provide, on an agency basis, refined
fuel, propane, and lubricants marketing and distribution services for its owners. Effective November 30, 2001, Farmland's Petroleum Division sold its approximate 41% ownership interest in
Country Energy to Cenex Harvest States, resulting in a gain on sale of $18 million. The Petroleum Division's sales mix was affected by the sale of its interest in Country Energy. Previously,
sales included 41% of all sales sold through the agent, Country Energy. These sales included Cenex Harvest States' portion of the output of the NCRA refinery at McPherson, Kansas; Cenex Harvest
States' refinery at Laurel, Montana; and Farmland's refinery at Coffeyville, Kansas, as well as gasoline and distillates purchased from third parties for resale and wholesale propane, lubricants, and
petroleum products. Concurrent with the sale of Farmland's interest in Country Energy, the Petroleum Division sold refined fuels and by-product inventories valued at approximately
$46,650,000 to Cenex Harvest States.
In
2000, Farmland and Cenex Harvest States each acquired a 50% interest in a propane marketing, sale, and supply agreement for a total of $18,500,000 ($9,250,000 represents the Petroleum
Division's share). Concurrent with the sale of Farmland's interest in Country Energy, Farmland also sold its interest in the propane supply agreement to Cenex Harvest States for its carrying value.
Subsequent
to the sale of the Petroleum Division's interest in Country Energy, 100% of the Petroleum Division's petroleum sales consists of the output of the Coffeyville, Kansas
refinery. Farmland's Petroleum Division no longer participates in sales related to the refineries at McPherson, Kansas or Laurel, Montana; Farmland Petroleum Division no longer participates in the
resale of petroleum products to third parties; and Farmland Petroleum Division has substantially discontinued selling wfholesale propane, lubricants, and petroleum equipment. The Petroleum Division
had an agreement with Cenex Harvest States to sell all refined products produced at its Coffeyville, Kansas refinery for an initial period of two years; that agreement expired in November 2003.
The selling price for this production was determined by reference to daily market prices within a defined geographic region.
The
Petroleum Division's share of Country Energy's losses was $2,815,167 for the period from January 1, 2001 through November 30, 2001 (date of sale). This amount is
included in equity in earnings (losses) of joint venture in the accompanying statements of operations. Agency fees paid by the Petroleum Division to Country Energy and included in selling, general,
and administrative expenses were $11,371,000 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

(7) Pension Plans
The Farmland Industries, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan (the Plan) is a defined benefit plan in which substantially all employees may participate.
Participation in the Plan is optional prior to age 34, but mandatory thereafter. Benefits payable under the Plan are based on years of service and the employee's average compensation during the
highest four of the employee's last ten years of employment.
The
assets of the Plan are maintained in a trust fund. The majority of the Plan's assets are invested in common stocks, corporate bonds, United States Government bonds,
short-term investment funds, private REITS, real estate separate accounts, and venture capital funds.
The
funding policy for the Plan was at the sole discretion of the Farmland Employee Retirement Plan Committee. Farmland charged pension costs as accrued based on the actuarial valuation
of the Plan.
The
prepaid pension cost, as calculated by Farmland's independent actuary, were recorded as assets in the consolidated balance sheets of Farmland and were not recorded at a division
level. The financial statements above do not include any assets or liabilities associated with the Plan. However, expenses relating to this Plan are included in the allocation of expenses from
Farmland as described in Note 2.
(8) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Predecessor leased various equipment and real properties under long-term operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2002,
2003, and the 62 day period ended March 2, 2004 lease expense totaled approximately $21,788,088, $3,325,495, $2,985,022, and $518,918, respectively. Lease expense in 2001 and for two
months in 2002 included $18,729,571 and $316,958, respectively, for the lease of fixed assets of the nitrogen fertilizer plant that was prepaid and capitalized into a new secured financial arrangement
in February 2002. The lease agreements have various remaining terms. Some
F-17
agreements
are renewable, at Successor's option, for additional periods. It is expected, in the ordinary course of business, that leases will be renewed or replaced as they expire.
The
minimum required payments for these agreements during the years ending December 31 are as follows:
303 days ending December 31, 2004

1,185,270

Thereafter

$
10,840,607
Future
minimum lease payments were reduced as a result of the Predecessor rejecting an operating and maintenance agreement with a vendor within the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment during
2003. Once an executory contract is rejected in Chapter 11, the future contractual payments are no longer due; however, damages may be due to the other party. For rejected contracts, the counterparty
may enter a claim for damages with the Court, and the Court may accept, reduce, or deny the damage claim. Damages related to rejected contacts that are approved by the Court are considered
pre-petition claims and are subject to compromise. The total estimated damages related to the rejected executory contract within the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment totaled $1,250,000 at
March 2, 2004.
The
Predecessor was contingently liable for future adjustments to their workmen's compensation insurance plan that is held through a state fund for the time period between
December 1, 2002 and March 2, 2004. In the opinion of management, any eligible adjustment will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of
operations.
The
Predecessor is subject to various stringent federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Liabilities related to remediation of contaminated properties are recognized
when the related costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of these costs are based upon currently available facts, existing technology, undiscounted site-specific
costs, and currently enacted laws and regulations. In reporting environmental liabilities, no offset is made for potential recoveries. Such liabilities include estimates of the Predecessor's share of
costs attributable to potentially responsible parties which are insolvent or otherwise unable to pay. All liabilities are monitored and adjusted regularly as new facts emerge or changes in law or
technology occur.
The
Predecessor owns and/or operates manufacturing properties and has potential responsibility for environmental conditions at some properties. Through administrative orders issued under
authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), the Predecessor was designated as a party responsible for conducting corrective action projects at its Coffeyville and
Phillipsburg sites.
As
of December 31, 2002 and 2003 and March 2, 2004, environmental accruals of $7,367,933 and $15,199,230 and $15,306,041, respectively, were recorded for probable and
estimable costs for remediation of environmental contamination and compliance with the Clean Air Act. Management
F-18
periodically
reviews and, as appropriate, revises its environmental accruals. During 2003, in response to an analysis of FAS 143, the Predecessor reviewed all of its environmental obligations
and made an additional accrual related to landfill closure and monitoring obligations at Phillipsburg and Coffeyville of $1,018,461. The charge was recorded in selling, general and administrative
expenses. Substantially all the remaining increase in the environmental accrual was related to increasing the accrual for the corrective actions required as a result of the RCRA administrative order.
The accrual was increased based on information obtained while preparing for the sale and negotiating with potential purchasers of the Petroleum Division. Based on current information and regulatory
requirements, management believes that the accruals established for environmental expenditures are adequate.
The
Environmental Protection Agency has issued rules limiting sulfur in gasoline to 30 parts per million and limiting sulfur in diesel fuel to 15 parts per million. The EPA has granted
Predecessor's petition for a temporary hardship relief with respect to the date for compliance with the low-sulfur-level regulations. Based on information currently available, Predecessor
anticipates that expenditures of approximately $75,000,000 to $85,000,000 will be required to achieve compliance with these new rules and the entire amount is expected to be capitalized.
As
of March 2, 2004, the Predecessor had been engaged in negotiations with the EPA to resolve certain Clean Air Act allegations concerning the Coffeyville refinery. Farmland's
management believed the penalty stemming from the allegations could be settled for $500,000 which is included in the accrual of $15,306,041 for environmental liabilities described above. An accrual
for the same claim is included in the environmental accruals for December 31, 2002 and 2003 for $1,000,000 and $500,000, respectively.
Environmental
expenditures are capitalized when such expenditures provide future economic benefits. For 2001, 2002, 2003, and March 2, 2004 capital expenditures were approximately
$249,000, $649,000, $334,235, and $0, respectively, to improve the environmental compliance and efficiency of the operations.
Management
believes the Predecessor was in substantial compliance with existing environmental rules and regulations. There can be no assurance that the environmental matters described
above or other environmental matters which may develop in the future, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations.
The
Predecessor is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these litigation matters is not
expected to have a material adverse effect on the accompanying financial statements.
(9) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Predecessor is subject to crude oil price fluctuations caused by supply conditions, weather, economic conditions, and other factors. To manage volatility
associated with these exposures, the Predecessor may enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to its established policies. Generally, the Predecessor purchases derivative contracts for a
portion of its anticipated consumption of commodity inputs for periods of up to six months. The Predecessor may enter into longer-term contracts if deemed appropriate.
F-19
For
purposes of these financial statements, the Predecessor adopted SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
, as amended, on January 1, 2001. This standard imposes extensive record-keeping requirements in order to designate a derivative financial instrument as a
hedge. From time to time, the Petroleum Division held derivative instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil and certain over-the-counter forward swap agreements, that it
believed provided an economic hedge on future transactions, but such instruments were not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Gains or losses related to the change in fair value of these
derivative instruments were classified as a component of other income (expense). The adoption of SFAS No. 133 had no effect on these financial statements. At December 31, 2002 and 2003,
and March 2, 2004, the Predecessor recorded $143,000, $0 and $0 in accrued liabilities, respectively, related to unrealized losses on derivative instruments. In addition, the Predecessor had
recorded margin account balances in Prepaid expenses and other current assets of $792,000, $0 and $0, at December 31, 2002 and 2003 and March 2, 2004, respectively. The Petroleum
Division also recorded mark to market net (gains) losses in Other Expense of ($508,000), $4,175,929, $303,742 and $0 for the periods ended December 31 2001, 2002 and 2003 and March 2,
2004, respectively.
(10) Business Segments
Successor measures segment profit as operating income for Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer, Coffeyville's two reporting segments, based on the definitions
provided in SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
PetroleumPrincipal
products of the petroleum division are refined fuels, propane and petroleum refining by-products including coke. The company uses the coke in
the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer at the adjacent nitrogen fertilizer plant. The coke is transferred from the Petroleum Segment to the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment at zero value such that no sales
revenue on the part of the petroleum segment or corresponding cost of goods sold for the nitrogen segment are recorded. Petroleum net sales in 2001 included revenue received for product purchased and
resold while participating in Country Energy. The sales decrease in 2002 is further impacted by the major maintenance turnaround and reduction in finished goods prices. In 2003, the plant operated for
the full year and enjoyed a recovery in refined fuel's prices.
F-20
Nitrogen
FertilizerThe principal product of the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment is nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer sales increased throughout the periods presented as
the on-stream factor improved.

(1) Organization and Nature of Business
General
Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC (Coffeyville, Successor or the Company) is a Delaware limited liability company which, on March 3, 2004, acting through
wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired the assets of the former Farmland Industries, Inc. (Farmland) Petroleum Division and one facility within Farmland's eight-plant Nitrogen Fertilizer
Manufacturing and Marketing Division (Predecessor). Farmland was a farm supply cooperative and a processing and marketing cooperative. The Predecessor operated as a division of Farmland (Petroleum),
and a plant within a division of Farmland (Nitrogen Fertilizers). The accompanying Predecessor financial statements principally reflect the refining, crude oil gathering, and petroleum distribution
operations of Farmland and the only coke gasification plant of Farmland's nitrogen fertilizer operations. Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC, acting through wholly-owned subsidiaries, is an independent
petroleum refiner and marketer in the mid-continental United States and a producer and marketer of upgraded nitrogen fertilizer products in North America. Operations are organized into two
business segments: Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer.
The
principal products of the Petroleum Segment are refined fuels, propane, and by-products of the petroleum refinery. The Petroleum Segment operates a petroleum refinery at
Coffeyville, Kansas with an approximate capacity of 100,000 barrels per day and a crude oil gathering system in Kansas and Oklahoma. The refinery converts crude oil into refined products such as
gasoline, diesel fuel, and distillates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the 62 days ended March 2, 2004 and the 212 days ended September 30, 2004,
the Petroleum Segment's pipeline and truck gathering systems collected approximately 19%, 17% and 19%, respectively, of its crude oil supplies under agreements with producers near its refinery.
Additional supplies were acquired from diversified sources and delivered through a regional pipeline hub.
The
Nitrogen Segment operates a coke gasification plant that produces high-purity hydrogen which is subsequently converted to ammonia and upgraded to urea ammonium nitrate
(UAN) at the Predecessor's UAN plant collectively referred to as the Coffeyville nitrogen plant. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the 62 days ended March 2, 2004, and
for the 212 days ended September 30, 2004, approximately 75%, 75% and 80%, respectively, of the petroleum coke used at the nitrogen fertilizer plant was from the Predecessor's adjacent
petroleum refinery. The plant experienced on-stream factors for the ammonia plant of 87.4%, 89.5% and 79.4% for the same periods respectively. The on-stream factor represents
the number of hours in the year the plant operated divided by the total number of hours in the year stated as a percentage. The lower on-stream factor for the 212 days ended
September 30, 2004, was primarily the result of a scheduled turnaround.
Farmland Industries, Inc.'s Bankruptcy Proceedings and the Transaction
On May 31, 2002 (the Petition Date), Farmland Industries, Inc. and four of its subsidiaries, Farmland Foods, Inc., Farmland Pipeline
Company, Inc., Farmland Transportation, Inc., and SFA, Inc. (collectively, the Debtors or Farmland), filed voluntary petitions for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Missouri (the Court). The Petroleum and Nitrogen Divisions were divisions of Farmland, and therefore
their assets and liabilities were included in the bankruptcy filings. Farmland
F-27
continued
to manage the business as debtor-in-possession but could not engage in transactions outside the ordinary course of business without the approval of the Court.
As
a result of the filing on May 31, 2002 of petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code by the Debtors, the accompanying Predecessor's financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 90-7,
Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy
Code
, and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, applicable to a going concern, which, unless otherwise noted, assume the realization of
assets and the payment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
As
debtors-in-possession, the Debtors, subject to any required Court approval, may elect to assume or reject real estate leases, employment contracts, personal
property leases, service contracts, and other unexpired executory pre-petition contracts. Damages related to rejected contracts are a pre-petition claim. The Petroleum Segment
had no material accruals for any damages. The Nitrogen Segment rejected an operating and maintenance agreement with a vendor resulting in an accrual of $1,250,000 as of December 31, 2003.
Pursuant
to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, on November 27, 2002, the Debtors filed with the Court a Plan of Reorganization under which the Debtors' liabilities and equity
interests would be restructured. Subsequently, on July 31, 2003, the Debtors filed with the Court an Amended Plan of Reorganization. The Amended Plan of Reorganization, (the Amended Plan) as
filed, in effect contemplated that the Debtors would continue in existence solely for the purpose of liquidating any remaining assets of the estate, including the Petroleum and Nitrogen Segments. In
accordance with the Amended Plan, on October 10, 2003 the Court entered an order approving the auction and bid procedures for the sale of the Petroleum Division and Coffeyville nitrogen
fertilizer plant. Through an auction process conducted by the court on March 3, 2004, the assets of the Predecessor were sold to the Company for $106,727,365 and the assumption of $23,216,554
of liabilities. The Company also paid transactions costs of $9,871,964. The Company's primary reason for the purchase was the belief that long-term fundamentals for the refining industry
were strengthening and the capital requirement was within their desired investment range. The cost of the acquisition was financed through long-term borrowings of approximately
$60.7 million and the issuance of capital shares of equity of approximately
F-28
$63.2 million.
The allocation of the purchase price at March 3, 2004, the date of the acquisition, is as follows:

(2) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financials were prepared in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles and in accordance with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnotes required for the
complete financials statements under U.S. generally accepted accounting have not been included pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2003 financial statements and notes thereto of the Predecessor.
In
the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the financial position as of December 31, 2003 and
F-29
September 30,
2004, and the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the 62 days ended March 2, 2004 and the 212 days ended
September 30, 2004.
Results
of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2004 or
any other interim period. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affected the reported amounts of assets, liabilities revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The
accompanying Predecessor financial statements reflect an allocation of certain general corporate expenses of Farmland, including general and corporate insurance, corporate retirement
and benefits, human resources and payroll department salaries, facility costs, information services, and information systems support. These costs allocated to the Predecessor were $9,530,681 and
$3,802,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and the 62 day period ended March 2, 2004, respectively, and are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
These allocations were based on a variety of factors dependent on the nature of the costs, including fixed asset levels, administrative headcount, and production headcount. The costs of these services
are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as a stand-alone entity. Reorganization expenses for legal and professional fees incurred by
Farmland in connection with the bankruptcy proceedings were not allocated to the Predecessor. In addition, umbrella property insurance premiums were allocated across Farmland's divisions based on
recoverable values. Property insurance costs allocated to the Predecessor were $1,434,833 and $357,324 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and the 62 day period ended
March 2, 2004, respectively, and are included in Cost of goods sold. All interest expense prior to the Petition Date and interest on secured borrowings subsequent to the Petition Date were
allocated based on identifiable net assets of each of Farmland's divisions. Under bankruptcy law, payment of interest on Farmland's unsecured debt was stayed at the Petition Date. Accordingly,
Farmland did not allocate any interest on its unsecured borrowings to the Predecessor after its Petition Date. Management believes all allocations described above are made on a reasonable basis.
Predecessor
used a centralized approach to cash management and the financing of its operations. As a result, amounts owed to or from Predecessor are reflected as a component of
divisional equity on the accompanying balance sheets.
The
Predecessor was not a separate legal entity, and its operating results were included with the operating results of Farmland and its subsidiaries in filing consolidated federal and
state income tax returns. As a cooperative, Farmland was subject to income taxes on all income not distributed to patrons as qualified patronage refunds and Farmland did not allocate income taxes to
its divisions. As a result, the accompanying Predecessor financial statements do not reflect any provision for income taxes.
F-30
Deferred
income taxes for the Successor are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years for
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities.
(3) Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents. The Company has restricted cash held for debt repayment of $2,250,000 that is reflected in other assets on the balance sheet as the restriction is for the term of the debt.
(4) Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share for the Successor is calculated on a pro forma basis, based on an assumed number of shares outstanding at the time of the public offering with
respect to the existing shares. The Company has assumed that prior to this offering, Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC will contribute the stock of its subsidiaries to Coffeyville Resources, Inc. and
that Coffeyville Resources, Inc. will issue 74,852,941 shares of common stock to Coffeyville Group Holdings, LLC. No effect has been given to any incremental shares that might be issued in the
public offering.
Per
share data has been omitted for the Predecessor because, under Farmland's cooperative structure, earnings of the Predecessor were distributed as patronage dividends to members and
associate members based on the level of business conducted with the Predecessor as opposed to a common shareholder's proportionate share of underlying equity in the Predecessor.
(5) Members Equity
The Successor issued 63,200,000 voting preferred units at $1 par value for cash to finance the acquisition of the Predecessor, as described in Note 1. The
preferred units are the only voting units of the Successor and, prior to May 10, 2004, had preferential rights to distributions. The preference required that the holders of preferred units were
to be distributed $63,200,000, plus a preferred yield equal to 15% per annum compounded monthly, before any distributions could be made to holders of common units.
Concurrent
with the issuance of the preferred units, management of the Successor were issued 11,152,941 nonvoting, restricted common units for recourse promissory notes aggregating
$63,200. Based on the estimated relative fair value of the restricted common units on March 3, 2004, approximately $3.2 million was allocated to the common units. Accordingly, unearned
compensation of approximately $3.0 million was recognized as a contra-equity balance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The holders of common units were not vested at the date of
issuance and do not have voting rights. Prior to May 10, 2004, distribution rights were subordinated to the preferred unit holders, as described above. On May 10, 2004, the promissory
notes were repaid with cash and an additional 500,000 nonvoting, restricted common units were issued to an officer of the Company for $2,850. Based on the estimated fair value of the units on
May 10, 2004, unearned compensation of approximately
F-31
$2.0 million
was recognized as a contra-equity balance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2004 none of the restricted common units were vested. The units
vest in accordance with the following schedule:

Based
on the vesting schedule above, the Company recognized $667,000 in compensation expense as of September 30, 2004 related to the unearned compensation.
On
May 10, 2004, the Company refinanced its existing long term debt with a $150 million term loan and used the proceeds of the borrowings to repay the outstanding
borrowings under the Company's previous credit facility. The borrowings were also used to distribute a $99,987,509 dividend, which included the preference payment of $63,200,000 plus the yield of
$1,802,956 to the preferred unit holders and a $63,000 payment to the common unit holders for undistributed capital per the LLC agreement. The remaining $34,921,553 was distributed to the preferred
and common unit holders pro rata according to their ownership percentages, as determined in the aggregate combining both the common and preferred units.
All
distributions subsequent to May 10, 2004 will be based on the relative ownership percentages, as determined by dividing the number of units held by a holder (consisting of
preferred or common units) by the sum total of the preferred and common when added together.

prepayment penalty of $1,095,000 on the previous credit facility was also paid and expensed and included in Loss of extinguishment of debt in 2004. For the 212 days ended September 30,
2004, amortization of deferred financing costs reported as interest expense was $897,595, using the effective interest method.
On
March 3, 2004, the Company prepaid two primary environmental insurance policies. One for environmental site protection and the other is a cost cap remediation policy for costs
to be incurred beyond the next twelve months. See Note 13 for a further description of the environmental commitment and contingencies.

In
its Plan of Reorganization, Farmland stated, among other things, its intent to dispose of its petroleum and nitrogen assets. Despite this stated intent, these assets were not
classified as held for sale under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 144 because, ultimately, any disposition required approval of the Court and the Court did not ultimately approve
such disposition until March 3, 2004. Since Farmland determined that it was more likely than not that its petroleum and nitrogen fertilizer assets would be disposed of, those assets were tested
for impairment in 2002 pursuant to SFAS 144, using projected undiscounted net cash flows based on Farmland's best assumptions regarding the use and eventual disposition of those assets. Based
on the tests, assumptions and determinations as of the impairment testing date, the assets were determined to be impaired. Farmland's best estimate at December 31, 2002 was that the carrying
value of these assets exceeded the fair value expected to be received on disposition of these assets by $375,068,359. Accordingly, an impairment charge was recognized for such amount in 2002. The
ultimate proceeds from disposition of these assets resulted from a bidding and auction process conducted in the bankruptcy proceedings. This process led to an additional impairment charge of
$9,638,626 recorded in September of 2003 when Farmland management's estimate was refined to reflect additional current information regarding the ultimate disposition of these assets.
(9) Long-Term Debt
At March 3, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution for a term loan of $21,900,000 with an interest rate based on the
greater of the Index Rate (the greater of prime or federal funds rate plus 50 basis points per annum) plus 4.5% or 9%, and a $100,000,000 revolving credit facility with interest at the borrower's
election of either the Index Rate plus 3% or the LIBOR rate plus 3.5%. $21,900,000 of the term loan and $38,821,970 of the revolving credit facility were used
F-34
to
finance the transaction on March 3, 2004 as described in Note 1. These borrowing were repaid on May 10, 2004 in connection with the refinancing described below.
Effective
May 10, 2004, the Company entered into a $75,000,000 revolving loan facility with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions, and institutional lenders, which expires
on May 10, 2009. Borrowings are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 75% of eligible inventories less the face amount of any outstanding letters of credit. The maximum commitment
fee payable on the unused portion of the revolving loan facility is 0.50%. There were outstanding borrowings of $71,890 at September 30, 2004.
Effective
May 10, 2004, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement with a syndicate of banks, financial institutions, and institutional lenders. Principal
payments in the amount of $375,000 are due quarterly commencing on the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the term loan was made and continue quarterly with a final payment of the aggregate
remaining unpaid principal balance due on May 10, 2010.
On
both the revolving loan facility and the term loan, the Company has the option of a LIBOR rate or a rate based on the current prime rate. Interest is paid quarterly when using the
Index Rate and at the expiration of the LIBOR term selected when using the LIBOR rate and varies with the Index Rate or LIBOR rate in effect at the time of the borrowing. An applicable margin is added
with respect to the revolving loan facility as follows: (a) for Index Rate advances, plus 1.00% per annum, (b) for LIBOR Rate advances, plus 3.00% per annum. For loans under the term
loan, the Index Rate plus 4.0% per annum or the LIBOR rate plus 5% per annum. The interest rate on the term loan on September 30, 2004 was 6.95%.
Both
loan agreements are secured by all real and personal property, including receivables, contract rights, general intangibles, inventories, equipment, and financial assets.
The
loan and security agreement contains customary restrictive covenants applicable to the Company including limitations on the level of additional indebtedness, capital spending,
payment of dividends, creation of liens, and sale of assets. These covenants also require the Company to maintain certain ratios of maximum fixed charge, maximum leverage, and minimum interest
coverage ratio.
Failure
to comply with the various restrictive and affirmative covenants of the loan agreement could negatively impact the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or pay
required distributions. The Company is required to measure these financial tests and covenants quarterly and was in compliance with all covenants and reporting requirements under the terms of the
agreement at September 30, 2004.

At
September 30, 2004, Coffeyville had $3.1 million in letters of credit outstanding to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment to secure the Company's
environmental obligations. The letters of credit expire in July and August 2005. There were no letters of credit at December 31, 2003.
(10) Capital Lease Obligation
The Company leases a crude oil pipeline under a capital lease agreement and expects to exercise its purchase option at the end of the lease term of
December 31, 2005. This lease obligation has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements at the value of the only remaining payment of $1,176,424 and the zero value purchase option.
All obligations under capital lease agreements are collateralized by the leased equipment.
(11) Benefit Plans
Successor sponsors two defined-contribution 401(k) plans (the Plans) for all employees. Participants in the Plans may elect to contribute up to 50% of their
annual salaries. The Company matches up to 75% of the first 6% of the participant's contribution for the non-union plan and 50% of the first 6% of the participant's contribution for the
union plan.
The
union plans are not administered by the Company, and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of negotiated labor contracts. Participants are always 100% vested in
both their individual contributions and in the Company's matching funds. Employer contributions under the plans were $412,903 for the 212 days ended September 30, 2004.
F-36
The
Farmland Industries, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan (the Farmland Plan) was a defined benefit plan in which substantially all employees could participate. Participation in the
Farmland Plan was optional prior to age 34, but mandatory thereafter. Benefits payable under the Farmland Plan were based on years of service and the employee's average compensation during the highest
four of the employee's last ten years of employment.
The
assets of the Farmland Plan are maintained in a trust fund. The majority of the Farrmland Plan's assets are invested in common stocks, corporate bonds, United States Government
bonds,
short-term investment funds, private REITS, real estate separate accounts, and venture capital funds.
The
funding policy for the Farmland Plan was at the sole discretion of the Farmland Employee Retirement Plan Committee. Farmland charged pension costs as accrued based on the actuarial
valuation of the plan.
The
prepaid pension costs, as calculated by Farmland's independent actuary, were recorded as assets in the consolidated balance sheets of Farmland and were not recorded at a division
level. The Predecessor financial statements do not include any assets or liabilities associated with the Farmland Plan. However, expenses related to this plan are included in the allocation of
expenses from Farmland as described in Note 2.

In
assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management
considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income
and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of
these deductible differences.

(13) Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Successor and Predecessor lease various equipment and real properties under long-term operating leases. For the nine months ended September 30,
2003, the 62 days ended March 2, 2004 and the 212 days ended September 30, 2004, lease expense totaled approximately $2,217,821, $518,918, and $1,666,168, respectively. The
lease agreements have various remaining terms. Some agreements are renewable, at Successor's option, for additional periods. It is expected, in the ordinary course of business, that leases would be
renewed or replaced as they expire.
The
minimum required payments for these agreements during the periods ending December 31 are as follows:

Successor
licenses a gasification process from a third party associated with gasifier equipment used in the Nitrogen Fertilizer Division. The royalty fees for this license are incurred
as the equipment is used and is subject to a cap which is expected to be paid in full by the time the license expires in June 2007 at an estimated total cost of $5.5 million. Royalty fee
expense for the 212 days ended September 30, 2004 was $793,548 and was reflected in Cost of goods sold.
The
Company is contractually liable for payments to the Predecessor as part of deferred purchased consideration related to the electricity contract with the City of Coffeyville in the
amount of approximately $2 million to be paid in equal installments through September 2006.
The
Company is contingently liable for future adjustments to its workers compensation insurance plan that is held through a state fund. A maximum adjustment of approximately $400,000 may
be assessed within 18 months of the policy date. The workers compensation expense for the 212 days ended September 30, 2004 was $544,162 and was reflected in Cost of goods sold.
Coffeyville
Resources Nitrogen Fertilizers, LLC ("CRN") was sued by the BOC Group, Inc. in connection with a dispute under an On-Site Product Supply Agreement regarding excess electrical
usage by BOC and payments withheld by CRN in connection therewith. Pursuant to the Agreement, which expires in 2020, CRNF pays approximately $300,000 per month for the supply of oxygen and nitrogen to
the fertilizer operation. This lawsuit is in the very early stages of discovery. While the Company believes that its position is strong, if it is unsuccessful in its defense of the suit, operating
expenses could increase by approximately $800,000 per year for the 15 year remaining term of the
F-39
Agreement.
The Company anticipates that resolution of the suit could take approximately two years. Currently the Company has not accrued any liability for this contingency.
Coffeyville
Refining & Marketing, LLC ("CRRM") entered into a Pipeline Construction, Operation and Transportation Commitment Agreement with Plains Pipeline, L.P. pursuant to which
Plains is constructing a crude oil pipeline from Cushing, Oklahoma to Caney, Kansas. The term of the Agreement is 20 years from when the pipeline becomes operational, which is expected to be
before March 1, 2005. Pursuant to the Agreement, CRRM must transport approximately 80,000 barrels per day of its crude oil requirements for the Coffeyville refinery at a rate of no less than
$0.24 per barrel. This rate will increase based on the final construction cost of the pipeline in accordance with a formula set forth in the Agreement.
Coffeyville
Nitrogen Fertilizer LLC ("CRN") has an agreement with the City of Coffeyville pursuant to which it must make a series of future payments for electrical generation
transmission and city margin. As of September 30, 2004 the remaining obligations of CRN totaled $39.0 million through a period ending December 31, 2019. Total contractually
committed payments under the agreement will be $1.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, $5.7 million for each of the fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, and $1.7 million per
year for each subsequent year.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to various stringent federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. Liabilities related to remediation of contaminated
properties are recognized when the related costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Estimates of these costs are based upon currently available facts, existing technology, discounted
site-specific costs, and currently enacted laws and regulations. In reporting environmental liabilities, no offset is made for potential recoveries. Such liabilities include estimates of
the Company's share of costs attributable to potentially responsible parties, which are insolvent or otherwise unable to pay. All liabilities are monitored and adjusted regularly as new facts or
changes in law or technology occur.
The
Company owns and/or operates manufacturing properties and has potential responsibility for environmental conditions at some properties. Through administrative orders issued under
authority of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), the Predecessor was designated as a party responsible for conducting corrective action projects at its Coffeyville and
Phillipsburg sites.
As
of September 30, 2004, an environmental accrual of $10,581,355 ($9,842,788 long-term and $738,567 current) was reflected in the balance sheet for probable and
estimable costs for remediation of contaminated property and compliance with the RCRA. The $10,581,355 accrual was determined based on an estimate of payment costs through 2033 which was arranged with
the EPA. The total

estimated
payments are $16,011,100. The required payments for these obligations are as follows (in thousands):

The
Company has purchased insurance to cover any costs above the amount accrued related to this contaminated property. See Note 7 on prepaid environmental insurance. Management
periodically reviews and, as appropriate, revises its environmental accruals. Based on current information and regulatory requirements, management believes that the accruals established for
environmental expenditures are adequate.
Under
the RCRA, Predecessor has one closure plan and two post-closure plans in place for two locations. Closure and post-closure plans are also in place for two
landfills as required by state regulations and are estimated at $1,975,100, which is reflected in the $10,581,355 environmental liability referred to above.
The
EPA has issued rules limiting sulfur in gasoline to 30 parts per million and limiting sulfur in diesel fuel to 15 parts per million. The EPA has granted the Company's petition for a
temporary hardship relief with respect to the date for compliance with the low-sulfur-level regulations. Based on information currently available, Successor anticipates that expenditures
of approximately $115 million will be required to achieve compliance with these new rules through December 31, 2010 and the entire amount is expected to be capitalized.
Environmental
expenditures are capitalized when such expenditures provide future economic benefits. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the 62 days ended
March 2, 2004, and the 212 days ended September 30, 2004 capital expenditures were approximately $332,934, $0, and $429,267, respectively, to improve the environmental compliance
and efficiency of the operations.
Management
believes the Company is currently in substantial compliance with existing environmental rules and regulations. There can be no assurance that the environmental matters
described above or environmental matters which may develop in the future, will not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, or results of operations.
F-41
Successor
is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these litigation issues is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on the accompanying financial statements.
(14) Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to crude oil price fluctuations caused by supply conditions, weather, economic conditions, and other factors. To manage volatility
associated with these exposures, the Company may enter into various derivative transactions pursuant to its established policies. Generally, the Company purchases derivative contracts for a portion of
its anticipated consumption of commodity inputs for periods of up to six months. The Company may enter into longer-term contracts if deemed appropriate.
The
Company accounts its derivatives in accordance with SFAS No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
,
as amended. This standard imposes extensive record-keeping requirements in order to designate a derivative financial instrument as a hedge. From time to time, the Petroleum Segment held derivative
instruments, such as exchange-traded crude oil and certain over-the-counter forward swap agreements, that it believed provided an economic hedge on future transactions, but
such instruments were not designated as hedges. Gains or losses related to the change in fair value of these derivative instruments were classified as a component of other income (expense). The
Petroleum Segment has recorded margin account balances in Cash and cash equivalents of $0 and $2,729,507, at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004, respectively. The Petroleum Segment
also recorded "mark to market" net (gains) losses in Other (income) expense of $0, $0 and $962,448 for the period ended September 30, 2003, the 62 day period ended March 2, 2004,
and the 212 day period ended September 30, 2004, respectively.
(15) Related Party Transactions
Pegasus Partners II, L.P., (Pegasus) is the majority owner of Coffeyville.
On
March 3, 2004, Successor entered into a management services agreement with an affiliate company of Pegasus, Pegasus Capital Advisors, L.P (Affiliate) pursuant to which the
Affiliate provides the Company with managerial and advisory services. In consideration for these services, the Affiliate is paid an annual fee up to $1.0 million plus reimbursement for any
out-of-pocket expenses. The agreement has an initial term through March 3, 2009 and will automatically renew for additional one-year terms thereafter unless
one party provides notice of termination to the other at least 90 days prior to the then existing term. $381,824 was expensed for the 212 days ended September 30, 2004, relating
to this agreement.
Coffeyville
paid the Affiliate a $4.0 million transaction fee upon closing of the acquisition referred to in Note 1. The transaction fee relates to a $2.5 million
merger and acquisition fee and a $1.5 million in deferred financing charges. In conjunction with the debt refinancing on May 10, 2004, a $1.25 million fee was paid to the
Affiliate as a deferred financing charge.
F-42
(16) Business Segments
The Successor measures segment profit as operating income for Petroleum and Nitrogen Fertilizer, Coffeyville's two reporting segments, based on the definitions
provided in SFAS No. 131,
Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
Petroleum
SegmentPrincipal products of the petroleum division are refined fuels, propane and petroleum refining by-products including coke. The company uses the
coke in the manufacture of nitrogen fertilizer at the adjacent nitrogen fertilizer plant. For the Successor, a $15 per ton transfer price is used to record intercompany sales on the part of the
Petroleum Segment and corresponding intercompany Cost of goods sold for the Nitrogen Segment. The intercompany transactions are eliminated in the Other Segment. For the Predecessor, the coke was
transferred from the Petroleum Segment to the Nitrogen Fertilizer Segment at zero value such that no sales on the part of the Petroleum Segment or corresponding Cost of goods sold for the Nitrogen
Segment are recorded in the segment results. Because the Predecessor did not record these transfers in its segment results and the information to restate these segment results in the Predecessor
periods is not available, the Predecessor periods have not be restated. As a result, the results of operations for the Successor and Predecessor periods are not comparable.
Nitrogen
SegmentThe principal product of the nitrogen segment is nitrogen fertilizer.
Other
SegmentThe Other Segment reflects intercompany eliminations and other corporate activities that are not allocated to the operating segments.
