Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Deferred Taxes - Valuation Allowance

Deferred Taxes – Valuation Allowance

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes, provides the carrying value of deferred tax assets should be reduced by the amount not expected to be realized.  A company should reduce deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.  ASC 740 requires all available evidence, both positive and negative, be considered to determine whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed in the financial statements.  Additionally, there can be statutory limitations on the deferred tax assets should certain conditions arise.As a result of the significant decline in oil and gas activities and net losses incurred over the past several years, we believe it is more likely than not that a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future.  Our valuation allowance against a portion of our deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2019 was $76,604.  Our assessment of the realizability of our deferred tax assets is based on the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, including future reversals of deferred tax liabilities.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

A portion of the Company’s cash balance is restricted to its use in order to provide collateral primarily for letters of credit, corporate cards and funds held in escrow relating to the sale of its Millen plant.  As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, total restricted cash was $10,578 and $10,565, respectively.

Lower of Cost or Market Adjustments

Lower of Cost and Net Realizable Value Adjustments

As of March 31, 2019, the Company reviewed the carrying values of all inventories and concluded that no adjustments were warranted for finished goods and raw materials intended for use in the Company’s manufacturing process.

Production Levels Below Normal Capacity Policy Text Block

Manufacturing Production Levels Below Normal Capacity

As a result of the Company substantially reducing manufacturing production levels, including by idling certain facilities, certain production costs have been expensed instead of being capitalized into inventory.  The Company expenses fixed production overhead amounts in excess of amounts that would have been allocated to each unit of production at normal production levels.  For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company expensed $8,484 and $9,723, respectively, in production costs.

Long-lived and Other Noncurrent Assets Impairment

Long-lived and Other Noncurrent Assets Impairment

The Company has temporarily idled production at various manufacturing facilities.  The Company does not assess temporarily idled assets for impairment unless events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets may not be recoverable.  Short-term stoppages of production for less than one year do not generally significantly impact the long-term expected cash flows of the idled facility.  As of March 31, 2019, the Company concluded that there were no events or circumstances that would indicate that carrying amounts of long-lived and other noncurrent assets might be impaired.  However, the Company continues to monitor market conditions closely.  Further deterioration of market conditions could result in impairment charges being taken on the Company’s long-lived and other noncurrent assets, including the Company’s manufacturing plants, goodwill and intangible assets.  The Company will evaluate long-lived and other noncurrent assets for impairment at such time that events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts might be impaired.
