See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements 6 MEENAN OIL CO., L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2001 and 2000 (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices (a) Description of Business Meenan Oil Co., L.P.(the Company) engages primarily in the retail and wholesale distribution of home heating oil. In January 1992, the Company was formed through the contribution by Meenan Oil Co., Inc. (Meenan Inc.) of substantially all of its assets in exchange for a general partnership interest in the Company. The Company is a limited partnership consisting of various limited partners with Meenan Inc. as the sole general partner. During fiscal 1999, the Company repurchased a 21.17% interest in the Company from one of its limited partners for a purchase price of $8,359,647. Concurrently the Company sold an 18.66% interest in the Company to a group of limited partners for $6,900,000. In fiscal 2000, the Company admitted 4 employees as Class B limited partners to the partnership. These partners were not required to make a capital contribution. As of June 30, 2001, Meenan Inc. owned a 75.07% interest in the Company. (b) Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (c) Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. (d) Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Building and improvements 20 - 31.5 years Automotive equipment 5 - 7 years Furniture, fixtures, and equipment 5 -10 years Leasehold improvements Term of leases (e) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS No. 133) as amended by SFAS No. 137 and No. 138. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. It requires the recognition of all derivative instruments as assets or liabilities in the Company's balance sheet and measurement of those instruments at fair value and requires that a company formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. 7 (Continued) MEENAN OIL CO., L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2001 and 2000 The accounting treatment of changes in fair value is dependent upon whether or not a derivative instrument is designated as a hedge, and if so, the type of hedge. For derivates designated as Cash Flow Hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. For derivatives recognized as Fair Value Hedges, changes in fair value are recognized in the income statement and are offset by related changes in the fair value of the item hedged. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments which are not designated as hedges or which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized currently in earnings. The Company purchases and sells futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange as a hedge against oil prices. The purpose of the hedges is to provide a measure of stability in the volatile market of oil (fair value hedges) and to manage its exposure to commodity price risk under certain existing sales commitments (cash flow hedges). Futures contracts open as of June 30, 2001 have expiration dates through June 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 133 on July 1, 2000, and records its derivatives at fair market value. As a result of adopting the Standard, the Company recognized current assets of $501,681, a $57,653 increase in net income and a $444,028 increase in additional other comprehensive income, which were recorded as cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The fair value of these outstanding contracts is recorded in the Company's balance sheet. For the year ended June 30, 2001, the Company recorded a net decrease of $495,415 to other comprehensive income for the net change in value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, and recorded a net gain of $444,028 representing the net change in the fair value of all the derivative contracts which are no longer outstanding at June 30, 2001. The estimated net amount of existing losses currently within other comprehensive income are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the Company has recorded a derivative asset of approximately $11,039,000, which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and a derivative liability of approximately $11,590,000, which is included in accrued expenses - other. (f) Customer Lists and Other Intangible Assets The costs of customer lists and covenants not to compete are amortized over a five to fifteen-year period on a straight-line basis. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over a forty-year period. The Company assesses the recoverability of these intangible assets by determining whether the amortization of the respective balance over its remaining life can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. (g) Revenue Recognition Sales of heating oil and heating oil equipment are recognized at the time of delivery of the product to the customer or installation. Revenue from repairs and maintenance service is recognized upon completion of the service. Payments received from customers for burner service contracts are deferred and amortized into income over the term of the respective contracts. (h) Income Taxes The Company is a limited partnership and the partners are taxed on their proportionate share of the income generated by the partnership. 8 (Continued) MEENAN OIL CO., L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements June 30, 2001 and 2000 (i) 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. (j) Long-Lived Assets The Company's accounting policies relating to the recording of long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangibles are discussed above. The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 121 requires, among other things, that long-lived assets held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate 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 future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair values of the assets. Assets to be disposed of or sold are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. (k) Pension and Other Postretirement Plans On July 1, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures About Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits. SFAS No. 132 revises employers' disclosures about pension and other postretirement benefit plans. SFAS No. 132 does not change the method of accounting for such plans.
