Notes to Financial Statements

Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block]

6. Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures with Noncontrolling Owners’ Interests

The amended agreements, as described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2015 Form 10-K, resulted in an obligation to purchase Mr. Buenting’s and Myers’ 50% members’ interest that the Company is certain to incur, either because of Mr. Buenting’s or Mr. Myers’ death; therefore, the Company has classified the noncontrolling interest as mandatorily redeemable and has recorded a liability in “Members’ interest subject to mandatory redemption and undistributed earnings” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability consists of the following (amounts in thousands):

		March 31, 2016				December 31, 2015
Members’ interest subject to mandatory redemption		$	40,000			$	40,000
Net accumulated earnings			6,211				10,438
Total liability		$	46,211			$	50,438

Earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were zero and $0.7 million, respectively, and were included in “Other operating income, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Changes in Noncontrolling Interests

The following table summarizes the changes in the noncontrolling owners’ interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures (amounts in thousands):

		Three Months Ended March 31,
		2016				2015
Balance, beginning of period		$	(91	)		$	7,462
Net (loss) income attributable to noncontrolling interest included in equity			(8	)			292
Balance, end of period		$	(99	)		$	7,754

Due to the events above, the Company’s subsidiaries with noncontrolling interest earnings are minimal.
