Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the financial position of Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Description of Business

Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) distributes petroleum products and operates convenience stores and branded food locations. Its customers include dealer, commercial, industrial, governmental, residential and automotive entities, as well as individual consumers. The Company’s convenience stores are branded Shell, Exxon, Citgo and BP, and its branded food locations are franchised through Burger King, Arby’s and Subway. The Company was incorporated in March 1950 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with operations now expanded into West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

 

  (b) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

  (c) Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

  (d) Inventories

Inventories of bulk refined petroleum products purchased for resale are valued at the lower of cost (last-in, first-out (LIFO) method) or market. The inventories of lubricants, antifreeze, convenience store merchandise and branded food products are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out (FIFO) and average cost, which approximates FIFO, methods) or market.

 

  (e) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the various assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the terms of the leases. Estimated useful lives are ten to thirty-one years for buildings and improvements; five to ten years for equipment; three to seven years for automobiles and trucks; five to ten years for furniture and fixtures; and five to twenty-five years for leasehold improvements.

The costs of major improvements are capitalized, while the costs of maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed when incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization on property and equipment are eliminated from the accounts upon disposal, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of net income.

PETROLEUM MARKETERS, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Interest and labor costs related to construction are capitalized as a component of each project. Total interest costs of $1,796 and $2,437 and total labor costs of $31,300 and $48,542 were capitalized during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

  (f) Available-for-Sale Investments

Available-for-sale investments consist of mutual funds and are recorded at fair value. The Company does not currently hold any debt securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related tax effect, on available-for-sale investments are excluded from net income and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale investments are determined on a specific-identification basis. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale investment below cost that is deemed to be other-than-temporary results in an impairment to reduce the carrying amount to fair value. The impairment is charged to net income and a new cost basis for the investment is established. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers all available information relevant to the collectibility of the security, including past events and current conditions. Evidence considered in this assessment includes the reasons for the impairment, the severity and duration of the impairment, changes in value subsequent to year end, forecasted performance of the investee, and the general market condition in the geographic area or industry in which the investee operates. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.

 

  (g) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated in hedging relationships, changes in the fair value are either offset through earnings against the change in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged, or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in cash flows being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings.

The Company only enters into a derivative contract that it intends to designate as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedge). For all hedging relationships, the Company formally documents the hedging relationship and its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the hedged transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the hedged risk will be assessed prospectively and retrospectively, and a description of the method used to measure ineffectiveness.

The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging relationships are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged transactions. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as part of a cash flow hedging relationship, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that: the derivative is no

longer effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk; the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; the cash flow hedge is de-designated because a forecasted transaction is not probable of occurring; or management determines to remove the designation of the cash flow hedge.

There were no outstanding derivative instruments at June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

  (h) Other Assets

Costs of customer lists were amortized on a straight-line basis not exceeding fifteen years.

 

  (i) Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in net income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties, if any, in operating expenses.

 

  (j) Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

 

  (k) Revenue recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the distribution of petroleum products when the products are delivered and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss. The Company recognizes revenue from its convenience store and branded food operations when the customer receives and pays for the merchandise at the register or pump.

Sales taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

  (l) Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs amounted to $163,030 and $171,689 during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

  (m) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is maintained for all eligible employees. Annual contributions to the ESOP are determined by the Board of Directors but are limited to amounts allowed in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.

Since the Company’s common stock is not readily tradable on an established market, the ESOP contains a put option which allows participants who are withdrawing from the ESOP to require the Company to repurchase the stock in their accounts at fair value, as defined, during the put option period, as defined. The ESOP has the option of assuming the Company’s repurchase obligations resulting from the put option. The Company accounts for transactions relating to the ESOP in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 718-40, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Employee Stock Ownership Plans, which requires that employer redemptions of ESOP shares from withdrawing participants be recorded as purchases of treasury stock. The Company classifies the fair value of the ESOP shares that include such a put arrangement in between liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see notes 8 and 13).

 

  (n) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

 

  (o) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

  12   (Continued)


PETROLEUM MARKETERS, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

    Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

 

    Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

    Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The new standard does not extend the use of fair value but, rather, provides guidance about how fair value should be applied where it is already required or permitted under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or U.S. GAAP. For U.S. GAAP, most of the changes are clarifications of existing guidance or wording changes to align with IFRS. The ASU also requires additional disclosures for nonpublic entities to provide quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used for all Level 3 measurements and a description of the valuation process used. The provisions of the ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted the provisions of the ASU in fiscal year 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

See note 11 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

  (p) Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through September 10, 2013, the date the June 30, 2013 consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, except for note 13, which is as of July 8, 2014.

See note 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

 

(2) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s revolving credit agreement provides for borrowings not to exceed $20,000,000, and is collateralized by receivables, inventories and real estate, with variable interest based on LIBOR plus lender margin. The availability under this agreement, which matures December 15, 2014, fluctuates monthly based on the borrowing base formula as defined in the agreement. A commitment fee equal to 1/5% of the unused available balance is payable by the Company on a quarterly basis. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, no borrowings were outstanding under this revolving credit agreement.

The above obligations contain various financial covenants, including debt to worth ratio, funded debt to EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage ratio, and restrictions on the payment of dividends.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2013 and 2012 consist of the following:

 

     2013     2012  

Deferred tax assets:

    

Accounts receivable, due to allowance for doubtful accounts

   $ 284,700       379,600  

Property held for sale, due to differences in writedown recognition

     83,242       83,242  

Available-for-sale investments, due to differences in loss recognition

     82,430       82,430  

Supplemental retirement, due to accrual for financial reporting purposes in excess of actual payments made

     2,373,974       1,856,764  

Intangible assets, due to differences in amortization periods

     10,275       16,199  

Other long-term liabilities, net, due to differences in revenue recognition

     84,944       106,042  

Inventories, principally due to differences in capitalization of overhead costs

     4,459       8,667  
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Total gross deferred tax assets

     2,924,024       2,532,944  
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Deferred tax liabilities:

    

Property and equipment, net, principally due to differences in depreciation

     (2,766,988 )     (3,170,861 )

Prepaid expenses, due to differences in capitalization for financial reporting and tax purposes

     (208,854 )     (201,540 )

Available-for-sale investments, due to net unrealized gains

     (623,693 )     (351,023 )
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Total gross deferred tax liabilities

     (3,599,535 )     (3,723,424 )
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Net deferred tax liability

   $ (675,511 )     (1,190,480 )
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets is not necessary at June 30, 2013 and 2012, since realization of the gross deferred tax assets can be supported by both the amount of taxes paid during the carryback period available under current tax laws and the reversal of the temporary differences which gave rise to the deferred tax liabilities.

The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits and does not expect material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. The Company’s tax returns for years prior to 2011 are no longer subject to examination by federal or state tax authorities.

 

(7) Supplemental Retirement

The Company has supplemental retirement agreements with certain current officers. The Company estimates the liability at June 30, 2013 and 2012 under these agreements, as applicable, to be $6,253,884 and $4,891,369, respectively. In connection with the agreements, the Company has available-for-sale investments of $6,718,388 and $5,089,422 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which have been designated to fund the supplemental retirement liability (see note 4).

(8) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective July 1, 1986, the Company’s Profit Sharing Thrift Plan was amended and restated into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan covering substantially all of the Company’s employees. The ESOP purchased 100,000 shares of stock from various stockholders with assets transferred from the Thrift Plan and the proceeds from a long-term $2,000,000 bank loan collateralized by stock and guaranteed by the Company. This loan was paid in full during 1996. During June 1990, the ESOP purchased 7,206 shares of stock from various stockholders with the proceeds from a long-term $985,959 bank loan collateralized by stock and real property and guaranteed by the Company. On April 29, 1996, the ESOP purchased an additional 6,834 shares of common stock (6,740 shares from a stockholder and 94 shares from the Company) with the proceeds from a long-term $450,000 bank loan collateralized by stock and real property and guaranteed by the Company. Both of these loans were paid in full during 2001. On November 18, 1999, the ESOP purchased 14,200 shares of stock from two stockholders with the proceeds from a long-term $1,724,732 bank loan collateralized by stock and real property and also guaranteed by the Company. This loan was paid in full during 2010. Dividends received by the ESOP on existing shares and contributions to the ESOP received from the Company were used to repay the loans with interest.

Contributions to the plan by the Company were $267,849 in 2013 and $469,643 in 2012. Contributions to the plan by the Company in 2012 included an additional employer contribution of 750 shares of Company common stock valued at $183,143.

Because the ESOP guaranteed bank loan was paid in full during 2010, the ESOP held no shares of stock in suspense at June 30, 2013 or 2012.

The ESOP contains a put option which allows participants who are withdrawing from the ESOP to require the Company to repurchase the stock in their accounts at fair market value, as defined, during the put option period, as defined. The ESOP has the option of assuming the Company’s repurchase obligations resulting from the put option. For purposes of transactions relating to the ESOP, the Company’s common stock is valued by an independent third-party appraiser and approved by the trustee of the ESOP. The valuation is performed annually and considers the three basic approaches to value – the asset approach, the income approach, and the market data approach. As of June 30, 2013 (the date of the most recent valuation), a blending of the results from all three approaches was considered by the independent third-party appraiser to provide the best estimate of fair value. The estimated redeemable value of the Company’s stock subject to the put option is the appraised price per share of stock times the number of shares held by participants in the ESOP. Based on the respective independent third-party stock valuation, the fair value of 46,986 and 50,955 shares of Company stock allocated to participants’ accounts at June 30, 2013 and 2012, and potentially subject to the aforementioned put option, was $12,027,476 and $13,004,735, respectively. The ESOP’s provisions allow the Company to fulfill its repurchase obligations related to any exercised put options over a five-year period, at the Company’s election.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

 

  (a) Leases

The Company leases property and equipment under noncancellable and year-to-year operating leases, some of which are with related parties. Rental expense under operating leases amounted to $6,051,261 in 2013 and $5,978,349 in 2012, including rental payments to related parties of $972,055 in 2013 and $967,669 in 2012 and rental payments for leased vehicles (recorded in truck and automobile operations on the consolidated statements of income) of $456,982 in 2013 and $451,320 in 2012.

At June 30, 2013, future minimum rental commitments under noncancellable operating leases with original terms in excess of one year are as follows:

  (b) Stock Purchase Agreements

Under stock purchase agreements with certain stockholders, the Company is obligated to purchase, at the price included in the agreements, its common stock held by these stockholders. Benefits from Company-owned life insurance policies provide the primary funding for the Company’s stock purchase obligations under the agreements.

  (c) Environmental Compliance

The Company has to comply with federal and state laws and regulations relating to storage tanks. In 2013 and 2012, the Company paid approximately $1,725,000 and $1,775,000, respectively, into state petroleum storage tank funds. These funds limit the Company’s environmental liabilities related to underground storage tanks to $50,000 on-site and $150,000 off-site per occurrence, and environmental liabilities related to above-ground storage tanks to five cents per gallon times the tank’s storage capacity per on-site occurrence. In addition to amounts paid into storage tank funds, the Company incurred environmental costs of $174,078 and $101,810 in 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily attributable to federal and state compliance requirements. As a result of replacing or improving its storage tanks, the Company may uncover contaminated soil which will require corrective action. The Company has not currently identified any sites which require corrective action and is unable to estimate a range for these potential future costs.

 

  (d) Legal Matters

The Company is involved in litigation which arose in the normal course of business. Management believes that resulting settlements, if any, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

(10) Significant Risks and Uncertainties Including Business and Credit Concentrations

The Company’s primary businesses include the distribution of petroleum products and the operation of convenience stores and branded food locations throughout Virginia and in parts of West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Operating results are closely correlated with the economic trends within these regions, major developments within the petroleum industry affecting supply and demand, and the severity of the weather during winter months. During 2013 and 2012, the Company had no significant concentrations of sales within its customer base. At June 30, 2013, the Company had accounts receivable from two customers totaling $5,425,772, or 18.7% of trade accounts receivable. At June 30, 2012, the Company had accounts receivable from two customers totaling $4,246,330, or 15.2% of trade accounts receivable. The Company does not generally require collateral to support accounts receivable; however, the Company does require personal guarantees or letters of credit for certain customers, primarily the dealer and sub-jobber accounts.

 

(11) Fair Value Measurements

 

  (a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined based on the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts approximate fair values of the financial instruments shown on the consolidated balance sheets and represent management’s best estimates of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

  19   (Continued)


PETROLEUM MARKETERS, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Specifically, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Available-for-sale investments: Mutual funds are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held.

Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect, among other things, market interest rates currently available for similar instruments of comparable maturities.

 

  (b) Fair Value Hierarchy

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following tables present by level, within the fair value hierarchy, assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2013 and 2012:

(12) Other Comprehensive Income

Effective June 30, 2013, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under this ASU, the Company had the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one financial statement or two consecutive financial statements. The ASU eliminates the previous option in U.S. GAAP to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The Company retroactively implemented the provisions of ASU 2011-05 in fiscal year 2013 by presenting a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive income following the consolidated statement of income.

The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets consists of unrealized gains on available-for-sale investments, net of deferred income taxes.

 

(13) Subsequent Event

On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Pinehurst Petroleum, LLC (Pinehurst), PMI Merger Sub, Inc., Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Trust and Ronald R. Hare, in his capacity as representative (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which Pinehurst agreed to acquire all of the shares of the Company for $75.0 million subject to an adjustment for a targeted net working capital of $3.0 million, through the merger of PMI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinehurst, and the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of the Company agreed to escrow $5.0 million for 25 months after the closing date to secure the indemnity provisions for the benefit of Pinehurst contained in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, and termination, closing conditions and indemnity provisions.

On April 30, 2014, Lehigh Gas Partners LP (the Partnership), a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) registrant, purchased all of the equity interests of Pinehurst. Subsequent to such purchase, the merger became effective and, as a result, the Partnership became the owner of the Company.

As a non-SEC registrant, the Company’s consolidated financial statements presented the fair value of ESOP shares subject to redemption within stockholders’ equity (see note 8). In order to present the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with the SEC’s Regulation S-X, the fair value of the ESOP shares subject to redemption has been reclassified from stockholders’ equity to in between stockholders’ equity and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a) Description of Business

Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) distributes petroleum products and operates convenience stores and branded food locations. Its customers include dealer, commercial, industrial, governmental, residential and automotive entities, as well as individual consumers. The Company’s convenience stores are branded Shell, Exxon, Citgo and BP, and its branded food locations are franchised through Burger King, Arby’s and Subway. The Company was incorporated in March 1950 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with operations now expanded into West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.

As further described in note 9, on April 30, 2014, Lehigh Gas Partners LP, based in Allentown, Pennsylvania, became the owner of the Company through a series of merger agreements and transactions.

 

  (b) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) on the same basis as the corresponding audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules and regulations for interim financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s corresponding audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

 

(2) Available-for-Sale Investments

The cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale investments at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

 

     2013  
     Cost      Gross

(3) Long-Term Debt

The Company’s revolving credit agreement provided for borrowings not to exceed $20,000,000. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company borrowed $3,826,000, which was repaid in the first six months of calendar year 2013. The revolving credit agreement was terminated upon the acquisition described in note 9.

 

(4) Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 do not differ materially from amounts computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income tax expense. The primary difference represents the impact of state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets is not necessary at December 31, 2013 and 2012, since realization of the gross deferred tax assets can be supported by both the amount of taxes paid during the carryback period available under current tax laws and the reversal of the temporary differences which gave rise to the deferred tax liabilities.

The Company does not have any uncertain tax benefits and does not expect material changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months. The Company’s tax returns for years prior to 2011 are no longer subject to examination by federal or state tax authorities.

 

(5) Supplemental Retirement

The Company had supplemental retirement agreements with certain officers of the Company employed through April 30, 2014. The Company estimated the liability at December 31, 2013 and 2012 under these agreements, as applicable, to be $7,136,515 and $5,465,329, respectively. In connection with the agreements, the Company has available-for-sale investments of $7,491,079 and $5,399,095 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which have been designated to fund the supplemental retirement liability (see note 2).

(6) Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Effective July 1, 1986, the Company’s Profit Sharing Thrift Plan was amended and restated into an Employee Stock Ownership Plan covering substantially all of the Company’s employees. The ESOP purchased 100,000 shares of stock from various stockholders with assets transferred from the Thrift Plan and the proceeds from a long-term $2,000,000 bank loan collateralized by stock and guaranteed by the Company. This loan was paid in full during 1996. During June 1990, the ESOP purchased 7,206 shares of stock from various stockholders with the proceeds from a long-term $985,959 bank loan collateralized by stock and real property and guaranteed by the Company. On April 29, 1996, the ESOP purchased an additional 6,834 shares of common stock (6,740 shares from a stockholder and 94 shares from the Company) with the proceeds from a long-term $450,000 bank loan collateralized by stock and real property and guaranteed by the Company. Both of these loans were paid in full during 2001. On November 18, 1999, the ESOP purchased 14,200 shares of stock from two stockholders with the proceeds from a long-term $1,724,732 bank loan collateralized by stock and real property and also guaranteed by the Company. This loan was paid in full during 2010. Dividends received by the ESOP on existing shares and contributions to the ESOP received from the Company were used to repay the loans with interest.

Contributions to the plan by the Company were $125,626 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and $125,069 for the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Because the ESOP guaranteed bank loan was paid in full during 2010, the ESOP held no shares of stock in suspense at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

The ESOP contains a put option which allows participants who are withdrawing from the ESOP to require the Company to repurchase the stock in their accounts at fair market value, as defined, during the put option period, as defined. The ESOP has the option of assuming the Company’s repurchase obligations resulting from the put option. For purposes of transactions relating to the ESOP, the Company’s common stock is valued by an independent third-party appraiser and approved by the trustee of the ESOP. The valuation is performed annually after the completion of the Company’s annual financial statement audit and considers the three basic approaches to value – the asset approach, the income approach, and the market data approach. As of June 30, 2013 (the date of the most recent valuation), a blending of the results from all three approaches was considered by the independent third-party appraiser to provide the best estimate of fair value. The estimated redeemable value of the Company’s stock subject to the put option is the appraised price per share of stock times the number of shares held by participants in the ESOP. Based on the most recent independent third-party stock valuation, the fair value of 44,129 and 47,893 shares of Company stock allocated to participants’ accounts at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and potentially subject to the aforementioned put option, was $11,296,141 and $12,223,251, respectively. The ESOP’s provisions allow the Company to fulfill its repurchase obligations related to any exercised put options over a five-year period, at the Company’s election.

In order to present the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the SEC’s Regulation S-X, the fair value of the ESOP shares subject to redemption has been presented in between stockholders’ equity and liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the ESOP shares subject to redemption are recorded as a charge or credit to stockholders’ equity.

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

 

  (a) Stock Purchase Agreements

Under stock purchase agreements with certain former stockholders, the Company was obligated to purchase, at the price included in the agreements, its common stock held by these stockholders. Benefits from Company-owned life insurance policies provided the primary funding for the Company’s stock purchase obligations under the agreements.

 

  (b) Environmental Compliance

The Company has to comply with federal and state laws and regulations relating to storage tanks. For the six-months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid approximately $888,000 and $887,000, respectively, into state petroleum storage tank funds. These funds limit the Company’s environmental liabilities related to underground storage tanks to $50,000 on-site and $150,000 off-site per occurrence, and environmental liabilities related to above-ground storage tanks to five cents per gallon times the tank’s storage capacity per on-site occurrence. In addition to amounts paid into storage tank funds, the Company incurred environmental costs of $86,382 and $77,464 for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, primarily attributable to federal and state compliance requirements. As a result of replacing or improving its storage tanks, the Company may uncover contaminated soil which will require corrective action. The Company has not currently identified any sites which require corrective action and is unable to estimate a range for these potential future costs.

 

  (c) Legal Matters

The Company is involved in litigation which arose in the normal course of business. Management believes that resulting settlements, if any, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

 

(8) Fair Value Measurements

 

  (a) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of financial instruments are determined based on the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The carrying amounts approximate fair values of the financial instruments shown on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and represent management’s best estimates of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.

PETROLEUM MARKETERS, INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Specifically, the following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, and accrued expenses: The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Available-for-sale investments: Mutual funds are measured using quoted market prices at the reporting date multiplied by the quantity held.

Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect, among other things, market interest rates currently available for similar instruments of comparable maturities.

 

  (b) Fair Value Hierarchy

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following tables present by level, within the fair value hierarchy, assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

(9) Subsequent Events

On March 20, 2014, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Pinehurst Petroleum, LLC (Pinehurst), PMI Merger Sub, Inc., Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Trust and Ronald R. Hare, in his capacity as representative (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which Pinehurst agreed to acquire all of the shares of the Company for $75.0 million subject to an adjustment for a targeted net working capital of $3.0 million, through the merger of PMI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinehurst, and the Company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of the Company agreed to escrow $5.0 million for 25 months after the closing date to secure the indemnity provisions for the benefit of Pinehurst contained in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, and termination, closing conditions and indemnity provisions.

On April 30, 2014, Lehigh Gas Partners LP (the Partnership), an SEC registrant, purchased all of the equity interests of Pinehurst. Subsequent to such purchase, the merger became effective and, as a result, the Partnership became the owner of the Company.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through July 8, 2014, the date the December 31, 2013 and 2012 condensed interim consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

EX-99.3

Exhibit 99.3

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information of Lehigh Gas Partners LP

On April 28, 2014, Lehigh Gas Partners LP (the Partnership) exercised an option (“Option”) to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interests of Pinehurst Petroleum, LLC (“Pinehurst”) from Joseph L. Smith III and John A. Kopfer, Jr. (“Smith/Kopfer”) for $4.0 million. Pinehurst’s sole asset was an Agreement and Plan of Merger among Pinehurst Petroleum, LLC, PMI Merger Sub, Inc., Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated, Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated Employee Stock Ownership Trust and Ronald R. Hare, in his capacity as Representative (the “Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which Pinehurst agreed to acquire all of the shares of Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated (“PMI”) for $75.0 million subject to an adjustment for a targeted net working capital of $3.0 million, through the merger of PMI Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Pinehurst, and PMI. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the stockholders of PMI agreed to escrow $5.0 million for 25 months after the Closing to secure the indemnity provisions for the benefit of Pinehurst contained in the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, and termination, closing conditions and indemnity provisions.

On April 30, 2014, pursuant to the Option, the Partnership purchased all of the equity interests of Pinehurst. Subsequent to such purchase, the Merger became effective and, as a result, the Partnership became the owner of PMI. PMI operates two primary lines of business: convenience stores and petroleum products distribution. In its convenience store business, PMI operates 85 convenience stores and nine co-located branded quick service restaurants located in Virginia. The convenience stores distribute primarily branded fuel and operate under the PMI’s own proprietary convenience store brand, “Stop in Food Stores”. The petroleum products business distributes motor fuels and other petroleum products to customers throughout Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

On May, 1, 2014, immediately subsequent to the effectiveness of the Merger, the Partnership caused PMI to divest its lubricants business (the “Lubricants Business”) to Zimri Holdings, LLC, an entity owned by Smith/Kopfer for the sum of $14.0 million pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) between PMI and Zimri. The APA contains customary representations, warranties, agreements and obligations of the parties, as well as indemnity provisions. A trust controlled by Joseph V. Topper, Jr, Chairman and CEO of the general partner of the Partnership, personally financed the purchase of the Lubricants Business by Zimri via a loan to Zimri. The financing by Mr. Topper’s trust was approved by the Conflicts Committee of the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 gives effect to the PMI acquisition and the divestiture of the Lubricants Business as if they had been consummated on December 31, 2013 and includes historical data as reported by the separate companies as well as adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the PMI acquisition and the divestiture of the Lubricants Business that are factually supportable. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 gives effect to the PMI acquisition and divestiture of the Lubricants Business as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2013, and includes historical data as reported by the separate companies as well as adjustments that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the PMI acquisition and the divestiture of the Lubricants Business, are expected to have a continuing impact, and that are factually supportable. We derived the “Historical Petroleum Marketers, Incorporated” column included in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 by adding the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of PMI for the six months ended December 31, 2013 to the Audited Consolidated Statement of Operations of PMI for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and subtracting the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations of PMI for the six months ended December 31, 2012. Certain line items of the PMI historical financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Partnership’s presentations. Such reclassifications had no impact on income from continuing operations after income taxes, total assets, total liabilities or equity.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the PMI acquisition and the divestiture of the Lubricants Business are based upon the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” and upon the assumptions set forth in the notes included in this section. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information has been prepared based on available information, using estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing this Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet has been adjusted to reflect the allocation of the purchase price to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill.


The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is for informational purposes and do not purport to represent the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place on the date specified. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved in the future. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information does not reflect any adjustments for the effect of non-recurring items or operating synergies that we may realize as a result of the acquisition. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information includes certain reclassifications to conform the historical consolidated financial information of PMI to our presentation.

The assumptions used and adjustments made in preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information are described in the Notes thereto, which should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Information and related Notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report filed on Form 10-K on March 6, 2014. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information and related Notes contained herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of PMI as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013 and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of PMI as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, filed as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, in this Form 8-K/A.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANICAL INFORMATION

Note 1. Notes to Pro Forma Financial Information

 

(a) Represents the historical consolidated balances of PMI derived from historical financial statements as reclassified to conform to the Partnership’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on income from continuing operations after income taxes, total assets, total liabilities or equity.
(b) Adjustment to reflect the step-up of inventories to estimated fair value, which is determined as the selling price less cost to sell and normal profit margin based on management’s preliminary estimates. This estimated step-up was charged to cost of goods sold in the first quarter after the close as the acquired inventories have been sold. These management estimates are subject to change and such change could be material.
(c) The pro forma balance sheet includes management’s preliminary fair value adjustment relating to property and equipment based on management’s current knowledge of PMI and other industry knowledge. Since the appraisal process for these assets is not yet complete, the portion of the purchase price ultimately allocated to property and equipment may be different and such difference may be material.
(d) Represents the adjustment to record the fair value of intangible assets based on management’s preliminary estimates.
(e) Remaining purchase price that has not been allocated reflects unidentifiable intangible assets acquired, or goodwill. This purchase price allocation is preliminary. The final determination of the purchase price allocation will be based on the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the closing. The purchase price allocation will remain preliminary until management determines these fair values. The final amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented herein.
(f) Primarily represents the elimination of certain available-for-sale securities and cash surrender value of life insurance that were sold or settled concurrently with the acquisition.
(g) Represents borrowings used to fund the purchase price and certain non-recurring acquisition costs.
(h) Primarily represents the recognition of a deferred tax liability associated with the preliminary book-tax basis difference of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, partially offset by the elimination of certain supplemental retirement deferred compensation balances settled concurrently with the acquisition.
(i) Represents the elimination of PMI’s historical equity and the payment of certain acquisition costs.
(j) Represents the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities of the divested Lubricants Business. Such estimates are preliminary, are subject to change and such change could be material.
(k) Represents the estimated incremental depreciation and amortization of the step-up in value of property and equipment and intangible assets based on management’s current knowledge of PMI, their customers and industry knowledge. Management expects that these estimates may change as more in-depth valuation analysis is completed, and such changes may be material.
(l) Represents the estimated incremental interest expense based on $62.2 million of borrowings under our credit facility, net of the $14.0 cash received from the divestiture of the Lubricants Business, at an assumed rate of 3.67%. A 1.25% change in the rate would impact incremental interest expense by $0.8 million.
(m) Reflects the estimated tax benefit that would have been recorded had PMI been part of the Partnership for federal and state purposes for the periods presented as a result of the acquisition, as well as the estimated income tax effects of total pro forma adjustments described above, using an assumed pro forma blended rate of approximately 39%.
(n) Represents the results of operations of the divested Lubricants Business. Certain costs and operating expenses, including salary and transportation costs that are shared among multiple business units, have not been allocated to the Lubricants Business.
