Bill And Hold Inventory [Abstract] |
Bill And Hold Inventory [Text Block] | (2) Bill and Hold Early in 2012 two of our customers advised us that their coal stockpiles were increasing and asked us to consider storing their coal on our property. In April 2012 we entered into a storage agreement with one customer to store 250,000 tons for a minimum of one year and up to a maximum of two years. In June 2012 we entered into a similar storage agreement with the second 2 customer. During the 2013 second quarter we increased the storage agreement by 50,000 tons for one of the customers. We continue to sell the coal as contracted to these customers. The risks and rewards of ownership pass from us to them as coal is placed into segregated storage. We are paid a nominal storage fee in addition to our contracted price at the time the coal is placed in storage. During the first half of 2013, 145,000 tons were placed in storage for the first customer and nil 0 for the second customer. We have recognized $7.3 million in revenue from these “bill and hold” arrangements for 2013. No tons were placed in storage during the last half of 2013. As of December 31, 2013, we have in storage 300,000 tons for the first customer and 250,000 tons for the second. There were no changes in payment terms with our customers and, as of December 31, 2013, all receivables outstanding from these two customers had been collected.
