Equity Method Investments

The Company, directly or indirectly, holds investments in companies that are accounted for under the equity method. The Company’s equity in these entities is generally presented at cost plus its accumulated proportional share of income or loss, less any distributions it has received, or other-than-temporary impairments recognized. The amount of equity method investments has decreased substantially as two acquisitions in 2019 resulted in the consolidation of the former equity method investments. In January 2019, the Company purchased the remaining equity of Lansing Trade Group and Thompsons Limited and in October 2019, the Company merged its existing equity method ethanol investments to create the consolidated entity of TAMH.
The following table presents aggregate summarized financial information of the Company's equity method investments as they qualified as significant equity method investees in the aggregate for the year ended December 31, 2019. No individual equity investments qualified as significant for the years presented.
