This interesting quote part of the XML of the 10-K:
In October 2011, subsidiaries of the LLC entered into operating lease agreements to lease corn oil extraction systems for each of its plants over a of period of two years. Pursuant to these lease agreements, the subsidiaries are paying approximately $4.4 million per year for both of the corn oil extraction systems.

SWEET CONFIRMATION
Corn oil marketing
During 2011, we began installing corn oil extraction systems at each of our plants so that we could begin producing corn oil as an additional co-product. These systems were installed using certain patented technology we have licensed from Greenshift Corporation, for which we pay a royalty. The installation in Wood River was completed in December 2011, and the installation in Fairmont was completed in January 2012. The corn oil produced at our plants is used primarily as a feedstock for the production of biodiesel and, potentially, as an animal feed ingredient. The corn oil produced in Wood River is being sold to the same independent third party marketer that purchases our dried distillers grains from that facility. The corn oil produced in Fairmont is being sold to a biodiesel producer under an off-take agreement. Corn oil is shipped from our plants by trucks.

Corn oil. Corn oil is extracted on the “back end” of the dry-mill ethanol production process from the condensed distillers solubles stream portion of the process. The oil is extracted using a separator, or centrifuge, and then further clarified in settling tanks. It is then sold either as a feedstock to produce biodiesel or as an animal feed ingredient. We began producing corn oil in January 2012.
We may also hedge against changes in corn oil prices by means of heating oil futures contracts.

During 2011, the Company decided to install corn oil extraction systems at each of its ethanol plants so that it could begin producing corn oil as an additional co-product. These systems were installed using certain patented technology we have licensed from Greenshift Corporation for which we pay a royalty. On October 28, 2011, the Company’s Operating Subsidiaries received funding under an operating lease each Operating Subsidiary entered into with Farnam Street Financial, Inc. These operating leases provided the funding to pay for most of the costs of installing the corn oil extraction systems at each Operating Subsidiary. The installation in Wood River was completed in December 2011 and the installation in Fairmont was completed in January 2012. Both Operating Subsidiaries began generating revenues from corn oil sales early in the first quarter of 2012. p 33
PS REminder. GreenShift has a fiscal and calander year that ends 31 December. Therefore the 4Q report is swept into the annual report. That makes the report due the end of this month. However the Annual Report also has an automatic 15 day extension that GreenShift normally takes. (if the 15th day is on a holiday or weekend it can go to the following Monday) (Qs have only a five day extension). You can confirm this with the SEC calender and/or look at the previous releases. Last year they only used one day of the extension and it came out 1 April, the two years before were 15 and 16 April. This year it could come out as early as 30 March - and with an automatic extension as late as 16 April (a Monday).
Nice to see that revenues keep going up. I don't mind if GERS doesn't publicly state it, as long as it's happening. GLTA.
ReplyDeleteExcellent to see the confirmation in black and white(like a Skunk;]).
ReplyDeleteOn Friday, March 2, BIOF held a conference call for Q411. A playback is available for 30 days by dialing (866) 281-6782. The access code for the replay is 167702.
Mr. Pearce mentions corn oil extraction several times. Here's the highlights of that call.
"It was clear to us that corn oil is a strong opportunity.
COES is fully operational at both plants. The systems are the best technology and costs.
Q4's results had no contribution from corn oil. Nebraska started in December, Minnesota started in January.
The corn oil yileds at the Nebraska plant are above planned.
The focus this year is yield improvements."
Good Luck To All!$!$!$!$
SIRE Shareholder Meeting Protest
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting in Treynor, Iowa, right now outside of the
Treynor Community Center.
SIRE of Council Bluffs is holding their annual shareholder meeting inside this building as I type this. I'm here with a few friends passing around information to the farmers/investors of SIRE explaining the patents that SIRE is infringing under the direction of ICM. One gentleman I spoke with wasn't aware of the situation but was receptive to the information I gave him. Another guy heard about it but wasn't sure what to think either way, he was nice though. These are just normal farmers from around the area. I came here today to inform them that ICM is putting their investment at a great risk. To the first gentleman, I pointed out that SIRE has stated in their filings that that basically ICM controls SIRE and may not have SIRE shareholders best interests at heart. I'm debating about going inside the meeating as it just started.
whats that put GERS up to now, 30, 35 40 million $ par year?
