The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded primarily with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). To qualify for hedge accounting, the changes in the market value of a derivative instrument must historically have been, and would be expected to continue to be, highly effective at offsetting changes in the prices of the hedged item. To the extent that the change in fair value of a derivative instrument has less than perfect correlation with the change in the fair value of the hedged item, a portion of the change in fair value of the derivative instrument is considered ineffective and would normally be recorded in earnings during the affected period.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 6px"> </p> <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"><font size="1"> </font></td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">•</font></td> <td valign="top" width="1%"><font size="1"> </font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"> <p align="left"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><i>Crude Oil Purchase Price Risks</i> – The Company purchases crude oil as feedstock at its U.S. and U.K. refineries and is therefore subject to commodity price risk. Short-term derivative instruments were outstanding at December 31, 2008 to manage the 2009 purchase price of 1,063,000 barrels of crude oil at the Company’s Superior, Wisconsin refinery. At December 31, 2007 essentially offsetting short-term derivative instruments were outstanding to manage the 2008 purchase price of 403,000 barrels of crude oil at the Company’s Meraux, Louisiana refinery. Total pretax charges from marking these contracts to market at the respective year-end were $1,378,000 in 2008 and $40,000 in 2007. There were no open crude oil purchase contracts at December 31, 2009, but $2,296,000 was receivable from a third party at that date on a completed contract.</font></p> </td> </tr> </table> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 6px"> </p> <table style="BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"><font size="1"> </font></td> <td valign="top" width="2%" align="left"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">•</font></td> <td valign="top" width="1%"><font size="1"> </font></td> <td valign="top" align="left"> <p align="left"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><i>Foreign Currency Exchange Risks</i> – The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange risk associated with operations in countries outside the U.S. Short-term derivative instruments were outstanding at December 31, 2009 to manage the risk of approximately $36,000,000 of U.S. dollar balances associated with the Company’s Canadian operation and to manage the risk of approximately $100,000,000 equivalent of ringgit balances in the Company’s Malaysian operations.

MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">CREDIT RISKS – The Company’s primary credit risks are associated with trade accounts receivable, cash equivalents and derivative instruments. Trade receivables arise mainly from sales of crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products to a large number of customers in the United States and the United Kingdom. The Company also has credit risk for sales of crude oil and natural gas to various customers in Canada, and sales of crude oil to various customers in Malaysia and Republic of the Congo. Natural gas produced in Malaysia is essentially all sold to Petronas. The credit history and financial condition of potential customers are reviewed before credit is extended, security is obtained when deemed appropriate based on a potential customer’s financial condition, and routine follow-up evaluations are made. The combination of these evaluations and the large number of customers tends to limit the risk of credit concentration to an acceptable level. Cash equivalents are placed with several major financial institutions, which limits the Company’s exposure to credit risk. The Company controls credit risk on derivatives through credit approvals and monitoring procedures and believes that such risks are minimal because counterparties to the majority of transactions are major financial institutions.</font></p> </div> </NonNumbericText> |
