Accrued Continuing Costs

Note 9:  Accrued Continuing Costs

For interim reporting, the net proceeds from member business is based on the estimated gross beet payment and the percentage of the tons of sugarbeets processed to the total estimated tons of sugarbeets to be processed for a given crop year.  The net proceeds from the operations of Sidney Sugars is based on the forecasted net income for the fiscal year and the percentage of the tons of non-member sugarbeets processed to the total estimated tons of non-member sugarbeets to be processed for a given fiscal year.

Accrued continuing costs represent the difference between the net proceeds as determined above and actual member business crop year and Sidney Sugars fiscal year revenues realized and expenses incurred through the end of the reporting period.  Accrued continuing costs are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a cost on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and as a current liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
