1.
|
Basis of Accounting: The carve-out financial statements of the Company are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as produced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP for non-governmental entities.
|
2.
|
Use of Estimates: The preparation of carve-out financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
|
3.
|
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company typically maintains cash balances with banks in excess of federally insured limits. Cash has been allocated to the Company based on the Company's cash activities. MGPI did not acquire the Company's cash and cash equivalents.
|
4.
|
Restricted Cash: Restricted cash consists of amounts deposited with federal and state agencies for distillation operating and grain buying permits. Restricted cash was not acquired by MGPI.
|
5.
|
Brokerage Account: Included in prepaid expenses and other is a brokerage account with a balance of $2,495 at December 31, 2010 which represents uninsured deposits with a broker. This brokerage account has been used in prior years to acquire corn futures contracts. No futures contracts were acquired in 2010. The brokerage account was not acquired by MGPI.
|
6.
|
Accounts Receivable: Receivables are based on contracted prices and are considered past due when the due date has expired. Typically, receivables are due within 30 days. The Company sells to customers using credit terms customary in its industry. Credit is granted based on the credit worthiness of the customer and collateral is generally not obtained. Receivables are reviewed for collectibility when they become past due. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluation and specific circumstances of the customer. The Company provides for estimated uncollectible accounts based on prior experience and a review of existing receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $159,591 at December 31, 2010.
|
7.
|
Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue and associated costs when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, which typically is at the time the product is barreled or, in some circumstances, shipped. Revenue from warehousing services is recognized on a monthly basis as the service is rendered. In one circumstance, billing amounts are initially estimated, then later adjusted based on changes in specified costs. Billings in excess of revenues earned are recorded as deferred revenue in the accompanying carve-out balance sheet. The Company records the collection of excise taxes on distilled spirits sold to customers as accrued expenses and other in the accompanying carve-out balance sheet. No revenue or expense is recognized in the statement of income associated with this tax collection process.
|
8.
|
Inventories: Inventories, comprised primarily of grains and spirits, are stated at lower of cost (using the first-in first-out method) or market. Whiskey must be barrel-aged for several years. All owned barreled whiskey is classified as in-process inventories and is included within current assets, in accordance with industry practice. The Company includes warehousing, insurance, ad valorem taxes, and other carrying costs applicable to owned barreled whiskey in inventory costs.
|
9.
|
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Major additions and betterments are charged to property accounts, while maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives for buildings and improvements are 15 to 39 years, machinery and equipment are 5 to 20 years, and furniture and fixtures are 10 years. Depreciation expense was $860,723 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
|
10.
|
Planned Major Maintenance: The Company accounts for planned major maintenance under the direct expense method in accordance with the planned major maintenance provisions of the FASB ASC.
|
11.
|
Commodity Prices and Forward Delivery Contracts: The Company is subject to commodity price volatility caused by weather, supply conditions, geopolitical, energy prices, and other unpredictable external supply and demand factors. The Company uses forward purchase and sale contracts to reduce the volatility of pricing for certain commodities, primarily corn. These contracts are not used for trading or speculative purposes as physical deliveries occur. The Company accounts for such contracts on a lower of cost or market basis.
|
12.
|
Income Taxes: LDI is a single member limited liability company and had elected to have its existence disregarded for income tax purposes. Accordingly, LDI's taxable income or loss is included in the income tax return of the Member. Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the accompanying carve-out financial statements of the Company as LDI is not a tax paying entity. The Company accounts for uncertain income tax positions using the "more-likely than not" methodology as required by the ASC. The Company has no significant uncertain income tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure. The year no longer subject to tax examination is December 31, 2007.
|
13.
|
Impairment: The Company periodically reviews the undepreciated values assigned to long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and other assets, to determine if any impairments are indicated in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC.
|
14.
|
Shipping and Handling Costs: Shipping and handling charges incurred by the Company are included in cost of sales, and shipping charges billed to the customer are included in net sales in the accompanying carve-out statement of income and changes in parent and affiliate investment.
|
15.
|
Asset Retirement Obligation: The Company recorded an estimated liability for the future cost of asbestos removal in buildings in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC and recognizes the cost in the statement of income and changes in parent and affiliate investment over the estimated life of the buildings. The Company established a liability for the fair value of the asset retirement obligation in 2007 at its original date of acquisition by LDI. The Company recognizes accretion expense, as a component of operating expenses, in connection with the discounted liability (see Note H).
|
16.
|
Subsequent Events: The Company evaluated events occurring between December 31, 2010 and February 29, 2012, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Legal and Environmental Matters: The Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. The Company's compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, cash flows or results of operations. In addition, LDI has agreed to indemnify its lender against losses, liabilities and claims resulting from hazardous substances, violation of environmental laws, and various other business claims.
The indemnification extends through the term of the borrowing and does not provide for any limit on the maximum potential liability. As of December 31, 2010, LDI had not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the accompanying carve-out financial statements with respect to these indemnifications.
The Company is subject to claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that any liability resulting from these matters after taking into consideration its insurance coverage will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
|
3.
|
Employment Agreements: LDI has employment agreements with certain key executive officers. These agreements expire through June 2012 and specify the executives' benefits, entitlements upon termination of employment, contributions under deferred compensation plan, post-employment benefits, performance bonus, and other employment rights and responsibilities. Costs related to these agreements have been allocated to the Company. MGPI did not acquire these agreements.
|
4.
|
Production Capacity and Supply Commitments: As of December 31, 2010, the Company is committed to provide approximately 4.9 million proof gallons of product to two customers with contract terms expiring at various times between June 2011 and December 2012. This represents approximately 18% of the Company's distillation capacity. The pricing for these sales contracts changes based on changes in the market price of corn and certain other items. In June 2011, the Company renewed the contract with one customer through June 2013 at lesser volumes.
The Company is also committed to supply gin and neutral grain spirits to Pernod Ricard USA, LLC ("Pernod"), the Company's owner until 2007, under a distillate supply and gin mellowing agreement ("the Agreement") for a period of 10 and 3 years, respectively, from June 2007 with successive renewal options thereafter (3 and 1 years, respectively). The volume is based on a twelve month forecast provided by Pernod and fees are determined by a pricing model defined in the Agreement. As of December 31, 2010, the Company has committed annual production capacity up to approximately 7.3 million proof gallons under this Agreement, which is to increase annually. CLICO, an affiliate (see Note A), guarantees the Company's performance of the terms of the Agreement. The Agreement also requires the Company to receive approval from Pernod for the sale of the Facilities to a third party. Pernod also has the right to reacquire the Facilities in accordance with the terms defined in the Agreement.

Corn and Coal Purchase Commitments: At December 31, 2010, the Company is committed under forward purchase contracts to purchase approximately 628,000 bushels of corn for approximately $3,604,000 through June 2011.
In addition, the Company is committed to purchase approximately 43,000 tons of coal for approximately $4,128,000 through December 2011.
|
6.
|
Post-Employment Benefits: LDI is committed to provide retiree healthcare coverage to certain key executives and their spouses upon attaining the age of 55 and terminating employment. The estimated liability associated with this post employment benefit is developed based on current facts and circumstances. Assumptions are established to anticipate future events and are used in calculating the expense and liability of the healthcare. These factors include consideration of mortality rates, health care cost trends, and medical coverage to be paid by governmental authorities, and other providers of health care benefits. Costs and liabilities related to these benefits have been allocated to the Company. The Company has recognized a liability of $58,296 at December 31, 2010 based on the present value of estimated post employment healthcare coverage obligation. This liability is recorded in non-current other liabilities in the accompanying carve-out balance sheet at December 31, 2010. MGPI did not assume this obligation.
|
7.
|
Collective Bargaining Agreement: In September 2010, LDI extended its collective bargaining agreement (expiring in June 2014) with the International Guards Union of America ("the IGUA"), covering various security employees. The percentage of Company employees covered under the IGUA agreement as of December 31, 2010 was approximately 5%. In August 2010, LDI extended its collective bargaining agreement (expiring in June 2014) with the United Food and Commercial Workers ("the UFCW") union, covering various production employees. The percentage of Company employees covered under the UFCW agreement as of December 31, 2010 was approximately 46%. Effective September 2010, LDI entered into a collective bargaining agreement (expiring in June 2014) with multiple unions covering various maintenance and utilities employees. The percentage of Company employees covered under this agreement as of December 31, 2010 was approximately 20%.
