Financial Instruments, Fair Value, and Concentrations of Credit Risk

3. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value and Financial Statement Presentation

Financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and all other current liabilities have carrying values that approximate fair value. The Company measures short-term investments and commodity derivative contracts at fair value on a recurring basis. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as of the measurement date as follows:

Level 1: Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active trading markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2: Fair values are based on observable quoted prices other than those in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3: Fair values are based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability.

Commodity Price Risk

 

Under the Company's former go-to-market strategy for its soybean product line, it entered into hedging contracts to convert fixed price grain inventories and fixed price grain production agreements to floating prices, consistent with how the grain was sold. These hedging contracts allowed the counterparty to fix their sales prices at various times as defined in the contract. As a result of the continued wind-down of the soybean product line, the Company held no commodity derivative contracts as of December 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, the Company held commodity contracts with a notional amount of $12.8 million. The Company had no unrealized losses as of December 31, 2021, and $2.0 million of unrealized losses as of December 31, 2020.
