As of August 31, 2017

Freight derivatives and related misstatements

(a) The correction of freight derivatives and related misstatements resulted in a $174.1 million reduction of total assets, a $39.1 million reduction of current liabilities, a $27.5 million increase of long-term liabilities, and a $162.4 million reduction of total equities. The reduction of total assets related primarily to the elimination of $156.0 million of long-term derivative assets, an approximate $16.0 million reduction of goodwill which was triggered by the lower earnings associated with this restatement with the impairment charge recorded during fiscal 2015 and the elimination of $12.9 million of current derivative assets that had been recorded as assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The decreases of total assets were partially offset by related adjustments, including an $8.9 million increase of prepaid income taxes resulting from the income tax impact of the freight misstatement and the recognition of a $1.5 million prepaid freight capacity balance. The decrease of total current liabilities related primarily to an $18.0 million reduction of current derivative liabilities and a $21.1 million reduction of income taxes payable resulting from the income tax effect of the freight misstatement. The increase of long-term liabilities resulted from a $28.9 million increase of long-term deferred tax liabilities, which was partially offset by a $1.4 million reduction of long-term derivative liabilities. The decrease of total equities related primarily to the elimination of the derivative assets and liabilities described above and the related income tax impacts, as well as the reduction of goodwill associated with the goodwill impairment charge recorded during fiscal 2015.

Intercompany misstatements

(b) None

Other misstatements

(c) Adjustments for other misstatements related primarily to misclassifications between line items included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as well as the impact of certain income tax adjustments on prepaid income taxes, income taxes payable and deferred income taxes. The misclassification adjustments arose primarily due to the application of differing accounting policies between businesses and collectively with the impact of income tax adjustments resulted in a $19.3 million increase of total assets, an $89.1 million increase of current liabilities, a $32.1 million decrease of long-term liabilities and a $37.7 million decrease of total equities.

The increase of total assets related primarily to a $49.2 million increase of inventory with a corresponding increase to accounts payable that resulted from a misclassification adjustment for certain items previously included within a contra-inventory account to accounts payable. The increased inventories were partially offset by a $24.1 million misclassification adjustment to decrease inventory and increase accounts receivable as a result of a timing difference related to the settlement of a single ocean vessel. The increase of total assets was partially offset by a $28.1 million decrease of prepaid income taxes associated with the correction of other misstatements identified during fiscal 2017 and other periods.

The increase of current liabilities related primarily to the $49.2 million increase of accounts payable as a result of a misclassification adjustment for certain items previously included within a contra-inventory account to accounts payable and a $38.6 million increase of accrued expenses. The increase of accrued expenses primarily resulted from the recognition of a $24.9 million accrued income tax balance associated with the correction of other misstatements identified during fiscal 2017 and other periods. Additionally, $13.7 million of accrued expenses were recorded in relation to the use of a unit of measure assumption in the calculation of an excise tax credit that was changed during fiscal 2018. The decrease of long-term liabilities related to a $32.1 million decrease of long-term deferred tax liabilities that arose from the correction of other misstatements identified during fiscal 2017 and other periods.

The $37.7 million decrease of total equities was primarily related to the $20.6 million net impact on income tax accounts and the recognition of $13.7 million of additional accrued expenses due to the use of a unit of measure assumption in the calculation of an excise tax credit that was changed during fiscal 2018.

Freight derivatives and related misstatements

(a) The correction of freight derivatives and related misstatements resulted in a $38.1 million reduction of income before income taxes and a $47.3 million reduction of net income. These adjustments related primarily to a $38.1 million increase of cost of goods sold and a $9.2 million increase of income tax expense resulting from the tax effect of the freight derivatives and related misstatements.

Intercompany misstatements

(b) The correction of intercompany misstatements had no impact on income (loss) before income taxes or net income (loss); however, the correction resulted in a $35.7 million decrease of both revenues and cost of goods sold due to different practices of eliminating intercompany sales between CHS's businesses which existed in previous periods.

Other misstatements

(c) The correction of other misstatements resulted in a $17.2 million decrease of income before income taxes and a $9.0 million decrease of net income. The $17.2 million decrease of income before income taxes related to a $12.1 million increase of cost of goods sold due to the use of a unit of measure assumption in the calculation of an excise tax credit that was changed during fiscal 2018, a $2.6 million combined increase in cost of goods sold and marketing, general and administrative expenses for postretirement benefit plan activity that resulted from a timing difference associated with recording certain benefit plan expenses and a $2.5 million increase of costs of goods sold related to the valuation of crack spread derivatives. An income tax benefit of $8.2 million partially offset the decrease of income before income taxes and was recorded to adjust for the impact of other identified misstatements, as well as income tax items that had previously been identified and recorded as out of period adjustments in subsequent periods.

Additionally, certain misclassification and offsetting adjustments were made between line items included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily due to the application of differing accounting policies between businesses. These misclassification adjustments resulted in a $138.4 million increase of revenues, a $138.3 million increase of cost of goods sold, a $7.0 million increase of marketing, general and administrative expenses, a $2.2 million increase of loss on disposal of business and a $9.1 million increase of other income.

For the year ended August 31, 2016

Freight derivatives and related misstatements

(a) The correction of freight derivatives and related misstatements resulted in a $15.7 million reduction of income before income taxes and a $9.9 million reduction of net income. These adjustments related to a $15.7 million increase of cost of goods sold and a $5.8 million income tax benefit resulting from the tax effect of the freight derivatives and related misstatements.

Intercompany misstatements

(b) The correction of intercompany misstatements had no impact on income (loss) before income taxes or net income (loss); however, the correction resulted in a $57.5 million decrease of both revenues and cost of goods sold due to different practices of eliminating intercompany sales between CHS's businesses which existed in previous periods.

Other misstatements

The correction of other misstatements resulted in a $2.1 million decrease of income before income taxes and a $31.0 million decrease of net income. The $2.1 million decrease of income before income taxes related to a $1.7 million increase of cost of goods sold due to the use of a unit of measure assumption in the calculation of an excise tax credit that was changed during fiscal 2018 and a $0.4 million increase of costs of goods sold related to the valuation of crack spread derivatives. In addition to the decrease of income before income taxes, additional income tax expense of $29.0 million was recorded to adjust for the impact of other identified misstatements, as well as income tax items that had previously been identified and recorded as out of period adjustments in subsequent periods.

Additionally, misclassification and offsetting adjustments were made between line items included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily due to the application of differing accounting policies between businesses between businesses. These adjustments resulted in a $65.6 million increase of revenues, a $38.4 million increase of cost of goods sold and a $27.2 million increase of reserve and impairment charges (recoveries), net.
