(8)   Deferred Financing Costs and Original Issue Discount

        On December 15, 2011, CRLLC closed on the issuance of an additional $200.0 million of senior secured notes as described below. An original issue premium of $10.0 million was received related to the issuance and will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the senior secured notes. In connection with this issuance, CRLLC incurred an underwriting discount of $4.0 million and third party costs of approximately $2.0 million which will be amortized as interest expense using the effective-interest method over the remaining term of the senior secured notes.

        On May 16, 2011, CRLLC repurchased $2.7 million of the senior secured notes at a purchase price of 103% of the outstanding principal amount. In connection with the repurchase, CRLLC wrote off a portion of previously deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount of approximately $89,000 which is recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company also recorded additional losses on extinguishment of debt of $81,000 in connection with premiums paid for the repurchase.

        On April 6, 2010, CRLLC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Coffeyville Finance Inc., completed a private offering of senior secured notes that had an aggregate principal amount of $500 million. See Note 13 ("Long-Term Debt") for further information regarding the issuance of the Company's senior secured notes. The proceeds of the offering were utilized to extinguish the existing long-term debt under the first priority credit facility. As a result of the extinguishment, CRLLC wrote-off approximately $5.4 million of previously deferred financing costs. In connection with this issuance of the senior secured notes, CRLLC incurred approximately $3.9 million of third party costs. Of these costs, approximately $30,000 was immediately expensed and the remaining approximately $3.9 million was deferred and will be amortized as interest expense using the effective-interest method. In addition, CRLLC incurred an underwriting discount of $10 million. Of these costs approximately $76,000 were immediately expensed at the time of issuance following the accounting standards relating to the modification of debt instruments by debtors. The remaining balance of approximately $9.9 million will be amortized as interest expense using the effective-interest method over the term of the senior secured notes. On December 30, 2010, CRLLC made an unscheduled voluntary prepayment of its senior secured notes of approximately $27.5 million. In connection with the voluntary prepayment, CRLLC wrote off a portion of previously deferred financing costs and unamortized original issue discount of approximately $770,000. As a result of the extinguishment of CRLLC's long-term debt under the first priority credit facility, the issuance of senior secured notes and voluntary unscheduled prepayment on the senior secured notes, the Company recorded a total loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, as described in further detail in Note 13 ("Long-Term Debt"), the Company also recorded additional losses on extinguishment of debt of approximately $10.4 million in connection with premiums paid for the early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2010.

        On March 12, 2010, CRLLC entered into a fourth amendment to its outstanding first priority credit facility. In connection with this amendment, the Company paid approximately $6.0 million of lender and third party costs. CRLLC recorded an expense of approximately $1.1 million primarily associated with third party costs in 2010. The remaining costs incurred of approximately $4.9 million were deferred to be amortized as interest expense using the effective-interest method for the first priority credit facility long-term debt and the straight-line method for the first priority revolving credit facility.

        On October 2, 2009, CRLLC entered into a third amendment to its outstanding first priority credit facility. In connection with this amendment, the Company paid approximately $4.0 million of lender and third party costs. CRLLC recorded an expense of approximately $1.0 million primarily associated with third party costs in 2009. The remaining costs incurred of approximately $3.0 million were deferred and amortized as interest expense using the effective-interest method for the first priority credit facility long-term debt and the straight-line method for the first priority revolving credit facility. In connection with the reduction and eventual termination of the first priority funded letter of credit facility on October 15, 2009, CRLLC recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The loss on extinguishment is attributable to amounts previously deferred at the time of the original credit facility, as well as amounts deferred at the time of the second and third amendments.

        For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, amortization of deferred financing costs reported as interest expense and other financing costs totaled approximately $4.9 million, $3.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
