    In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
    (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
    (SFAS)&#160;No.&#160;157, &#147;Fair Value Measurements&#148;
    (SFAS&#160;No.&#160;157)&#160;to increase consistency and
    comparability in fair value measurements by defining fair value,
    establishing a framework for measuring fair value in generally
    accepted accounting principles, and expanding disclosures about
    fair value measurements. SFAS&#160;No.&#160;157 emphasizes that
    fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
    measurement. SFAS&#160;No.&#160;157 is effective for fiscal
    years beginning after November&#160;15, 2007. We are in the
    process of evaluating the effect that the adoption of
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;157 will have on our consolidated results of

    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS&#160;No.&#160;141R,
    &#147;Business Combinations.&#148; SFAS&#160;No.&#160;141R
    provides companies with principles and requirements on how an
    acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the
    identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any
    noncontrolling interest in the acquiree as well as the
    recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business
    combination. SFAS&#160;No.&#160;141R also requires certain
    disclosures to enable users of the financial statements to
    evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business
    combination. Acquisition costs associated with the business
    combination will generally be expensed as incurred.
    SFAS&#160;No.&#160;141R is effective for business combinations
    occurring in fiscal years beginning after December&#160;15,
    2008. Early adoption of SFAS&#160;No.&#160;141R is not

    During the first fiscal quarter of 2008, we changed our
    accounting method for the costs of turnarounds from the accrual
    method to the deferral method. Turnarounds are the scheduled and
    required shutdowns of refinery processing units for significant
    overhaul and refurbishment. Under the deferral accounting
    method, the costs of turnarounds are deferred when incurred and
    amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of time
    estimated to lapse until the next turnaround occurs. The new
    method of accounting for turnarounds was adopted in order to
    adhere to FASB Staff Position (&#147;FSP&#148;) No.&#160;AUG
    AIR-1 &#147;Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance
    Activities&#148; which prohibits the accrual method of
    accounting for planned major maintenance activities. The
    comparative financial statements for the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006 have been adjusted to apply the new
    method retrospectively. These deferred costs are included in our
    Consolidated Balance Sheets in other assets. The amortization
    expenses are included in cost of goods sold in our Consolidated
    Statements of Operations. The following consolidated financial
    statement line items as of August&#160;31, 2007 and
    November&#160;30, 2006, and for the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2006 were affected by this change in
    accounting principle.

    US BioEnergy Corporation (US BioEnergy), is an ethanol
    production company which currently owns and operates four
    ethanol plants and has four additional ethanol plants under
    construction. During the three months ended November&#160;30,
    2007, we purchased $6.5&#160;million of additional shares of
    common stock in US BioEnergy, compared to $35.0&#160;million
    during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006. As of
    November&#160;30, 2007, our ownership in US BioEnergy was
    approximately 20%, and based upon the market value of $9.07 per
    share on that date, our investment had a market value of
    approximately $144.5&#160;million. The carrying value of our
    investment in US BioEnergy of $146.8&#160;million exceeds our
    share of their equity by approximately $20&#160;million, and
    represents equity method goodwill. We are currently recognizing
    earnings of US BioEnergy in our Processing segment, to the
    extent of our ownership interest, using the equity method of
    accounting. On November&#160;29, 2007, US BioEnergy and VeraSun
    Corporation announced that they entered into a definitive merger
    agreement subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. If the
    merger is consummated, we would own approximately eight percent
    of the combined entity.

    Agriliance LLC (Agriliance) is owned and governed by United
    Country Brands, LLC (50%) and Land O&#146;Lakes, Inc. (Land
    O&#146;Lakes) (50%). United Country Brands, LLC is a 100% owned
    subsidiary of CHS. We account for our share of the Agriliance
    investment using the equity method of accounting. In June 2007,
    we announced that two business segments of Agriliance were being
    repositioned. In September 2007, Agriliance distributed the
    assets of the crop nutrients business to us, and the assets of
    the crop protection business to Land O&#146;Lakes. Agriliance
    continues to exist as a
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">50-50</FONT> joint
    venture and primarily operates an agronomy retail distribution
    business. We currently are exploring, with Land O&#146;Lakes,
    the repositioning options for the remaining portions of the
    Agriliance retail distribution business. During the three months
    ended November 30, 2007, we contributed $230.0 million to
    Agriliance to support their working capital requirements, with
    Land O&#146;Lakes making equal contributions to Agriliance,

    payables that were not assumed by us or Land O&#146;Lakes upon

    Due to our 50% ownership interest in Agriliance and the 50%

    As of August&#160;31, 2007, we had a five-year revolving line of

    Effective September&#160;1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation
    No.&#160;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
    Taxes&#148; (FIN&#160;48). This interpretation clarifies the
    criteria for recognizing income tax benefits under FASB
    Statement 109, &#147;Accounting for Income Taxes&#148;, and

    We have aligned our business segments based on an assessment of
    how our businesses operate and the products and services they
    sell. Our three business segments: Energy, Ag Business and
    Processing, create vertical integration to link producers with
    consumers. Our Energy segment produces and provides primarily
    for the wholesale distribution of petroleum products and
    transports those products. Our Ag Business segment purchases and
    resells grains and oilseeds originated by our country operations
    business, by our member cooperatives and by third parties, and
    also serves as wholesaler and retailer of crop inputs. Our
    Processing segment converts grains and oilseeds into value-added
    products.

    Corporate administrative expenses are allocated to all three
    business segments, and Corporate and Other, based on either
    direct usage for services that can be tracked, such as
    information technology and legal, and other factors or
    considerations relevant to the costs incurred.

    Many of our business activities are highly seasonal and
    operating results will vary throughout the year. Overall, our
    income is generally lowest during the second fiscal quarter and
    highest during the third fiscal quarter. Our business segments
    are subject to varying seasonal fluctuations. For example, in
    our Ag Business segment, agronomy and country operations
    businesses experience higher volumes and income during the
    spring planting season and in the fall, which corresponds to
    harvest. Also in our Ag Business segment, our grain marketing
    operations are subject to fluctuations in volume and earnings
    based on producer harvests, world grain prices and demand. Our
    Energy segment generally experiences higher volumes and
    profitability in certain operating areas, such as refined
    products, in the summer and early fall when gasoline and diesel
    fuel usage is highest and is subject to global supply and demand
    forces. Other energy products, such as propane, may experience
    higher volumes and profitability during the winter heating and
    crop drying seasons.

    commodities that we purchase without a corresponding change in
    the selling prices of those products can affect revenues and
    operating earnings. Commodity prices are affected by a wide

    While our revenues and operating results are derived from
    businesses and operations which are wholly-owned and
    majority-owned, a portion of our business operations are
    conducted through companies in which we hold ownership interests
    of 50% or less and do not control the operations. We account for
    these investments primarily using the equity method of
    accounting, wherein we record our proportionate share of income
    or loss reported by the entity as equity income from
    investments, without consolidating the revenues and expenses of
    the entity in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These
    investments principally include our 50% ownership in each of the
    following companies: Agriliance LLC (Agriliance), TEMCO, LLC
    (TEMCO) and United&#160;Harvest, LLC (United Harvest), and our
    37.5% ownership in Multigrain S.A. included in our Ag Business

    on November&#160;30, 2007. In addition, our bank covenants allow

    In the past, we made seasonal and term loans to member
    cooperatives, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Fin-Ag, Inc.,
    made loans for agricultural purposes to individual producers.
    Some of these loans were sold to CoBank, ACB (Cobank), and we
    guaranteed a portion of the loans sold, some of which are still
    outstanding. Currently these loans are made by Cofina Financial,
    in which we have a 49% ownership interest. We may, at our own
    discretion, choose to guarantee certain loans made by Cofina
    Financial. In addition, we also guarantee certain debt and
    obligations under contracts for our subsidiaries and members.

    Many of our business activities are highly seasonal and
    operating results will vary throughout the year. Overall, our
    income is generally lowest during the second fiscal quarter and
    highest during the third fiscal quarter. Our business segments
    are subject to varying seasonal fluctuations. For example, in
    our Ag Business segment, our retail agronomy, crop nutrients and
    country operations businesses generally experience higher
    volumes and income during the spring planting season and in the
    fall, which corresponds to harvest. Also in our Ag Business
    segment, our grain marketing operations are subject to
    fluctuations in volume and earnings based on producer harvests,
    world grain prices and demand. Our Energy segment generally
    experiences higher volumes and profitability in certain
    operating areas, such as refined products, in the summer and
    early fall when gasoline and diesel fuel usage is highest and is
    subject to global supply and demand forces. Other energy
    products, such as propane, may experience higher volumes and

    Agriliance is owned and governed by United Country Brands, LLC

    United Country Brands, LLC is a 100% owned subsidiary of CHS. We

    equity method of accounting. In June 2007, we announced that two
    business segments of Agriliance were being repositioned. In
    September 2007, Agriliance distributed the assets of the crop

    O&#146;Lakes, the repositioning options for the remaining
    portions of the Agriliance retail distribution business. During
    the three months ended November 30, 2007, we contributed $230.0
    million to Agriliance to support their working capital
    requirements, with Land O&#146;Lakes making equal contributions
    to Agriliance, primarily for crop nutrient and crop protection

    Due to our 50% ownership interest in Agriliance and the 50%
    ownership interest of Land O&#146;Lakes, we were each entitled

    different preliminary values assigned to the assets of the crop
    nutrients and the crop protection businesses of Agriliance, at
    the closing of the distribution transactions Land O&#146;Lakes
    owed us $133.5&#160;million. Land O&#146;Lakes paid us
    $32.6&#160;million in cash, and in order to maintain equal
    capital accounts in Agriliance, they also paid down certain
    portions of Agriliance&#146;s debt on our behalf in the amount
    of $100.9&#160;million. Values of the distributed assets were

    Effective September&#160;1, 2007, we adopted FASB Interpretation
    No.&#160;48, &#147;Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
    Taxes&#148; (FIN&#160;48). This interpretation clarifies the
    criteria for recognizing income tax benefits under FASB
    Statement 109, &#147;Accounting for Income Taxes&#148;, and
    requires additional disclosures about uncertain tax positions.
    FIN&#160;48 requires a taxpayer to determine whether a tax
    position is more likely than not (greater than 50&#160;percent)
    to be sustained based solely on the technical merits of the
    position. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is measured
    and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50
    percent likely of being realized. The total amount of
    unrecognized tax benefits as of September&#160;1 and
    November&#160;30, 2007 was $7.5&#160;million. There was no
    impact to our equity as a result of adoption of FIN&#160;48.
    Recognition of all or a portion of the unrecognized tax benefits
    would affect our effective income tax rate in the respective
    period of change. Any applicable interest and penalties on
    uncertain tax positions were included  as a component of income
    tax expense prior to the adoption of FIN&#160;48, and we
    continued this classification subsequent to the adoption. The
    liability for uncertain income taxes as of September&#160;1 and
    November&#160;30, 2007, includes interest and penalties of
    $0.3&#160;million. We file income tax returns in the U.S.
    federal jurisdiction, and various U.S.&#160;state and foreign
    jurisdictions. The U.S. income tax returns for periods ended
    after August&#160;31, 2004, remain subject to examination. With
    limited exceptions, we are not subject to state and local income
    tax examinations for years before August&#160;31,&#160;2001. It
    is not expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits
    will significantly change within the next twelve months.

    increase in earnings of $176.6&#160;million. In our first fiscal
    quarter of 2007, we sold approximately 25% of our investment in
    CF, a domestic fertilizer manufacturer in which we held a
    minority interest, for which we received cash of
    $10.9&#160;million and recorded a gain of $5.3&#160;million.
    During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we sold all of our
    remaining 1,610,396&#160;shares of CF stock for proceeds of
    $108.3&#160;million and recorded a pretax gain of
    $91.7&#160;million. As previously discussed, during the first
    quarter of fiscal 2008, we acquired the crop nutrients business
    of Agriliance and recorded $12.8&#160;million in earnings for
    the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007 for the operations
    of this business. We previously reflected 50% of these earnings
    through our equity income from our investment in Agriliance.
    Strong demand and increased volumes for grain and oilseed
    products, much of it driven by increased U.S.&#160;ethanol
    production, contributed to improved performances by both our
    grain marketing and country operations businesses. Our country
    operations earnings increased $24.3&#160;million, primarily as a
    result of overall improved product margins, including
    historically high margins on grain, agronomy, feed and processed
    sunflower transactions. Continued market expansion into Oklahoma
    and Kansas also increased country operations volumes. Our grain
    marketing operations improved earnings by $46.3&#160;million
    during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007 compared
    with the same three-month period in fiscal 2007, primarily from
    increased grain volumes and included strong earning performances
    from our joint ventures. Volatility in the grain markets creates
    opportunities for increased grain margins, and additionally
    during fiscal 2007 and 2008, increased interest in renewable
    fuels, and changes in transportation costs shifted marketing
    patterns and dynamics for our grain marketing business. Improved
    retail margins generated by Agriliance, an agronomy joint
    venture in which we hold a 50% interest, net of allocated
    internal expenses, resulted in a $6.8&#160;million increase in
    our share of that joint venture&#146;s earnings.

    Our Energy segment revenues, after elimination of intersegment
    revenues, of $2.4&#160;billion increased by $658.1&#160;million
    (37%) during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007
    compared to the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006.
    During the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007 and 2006,
    our Energy segment recorded revenues from our Ag Business
    segment of $78.0&#160;million and $67.8&#160;million,
    respectively. The net increase in revenues of
    $658.1&#160;million is comprised of a $197.0&#160;million net
    increase in sales volume and a net increase of
    $461.1&#160;million related to price appreciation on refined
    fuels and propane products. Refined fuels revenues increased
    $482.9&#160;million (38%), of which $414.4&#160;million was
    related to a net average selling price increase and
    $68.5&#160;million was attributable to increased volumes,
    compared to the same period in the previous year. The sales
    price of refined fuels increased $0.61 per gallon (33%) and
    volumes increased 4% when comparing the three months ended
    November&#160;30, 2007 with the same period a year ago. Higher
    crude oil prices, strong global demand and limited refining
    capacity contributed to the increase in refined fuels selling
    prices. Renewable fuels marketing revenues increased
    $90.3&#160;million (65%) mostly from a 79% increase in volumes
    when compared with the same three-month period in the previous
    year. Propane revenues increased by $10.4&#160;million (7%), of
    which $41.0&#160;million related to an increase in the net
    average selling price, and were partially offset by
    $30.6&#160;million related to a decrease in volumes, when
    compared to the same period in the previous year. Propane sales
    volume decreased 15% in comparison to the same period of the
    prior year, while the average selling price increased $0.28 per
    gallon (26%). Propane prices tend to follow the prices of crude
    oil and natural gas, both of which increased during the three
    months ended November&#160;30, 2007 compared to the same period
    in 2007. Propane prices are also affected by changes in propane
    demand and domestic inventory levels. The decrease in propane
    volumes primarily reflects a loss of crop drying season with
    less moisture in the fall 2007 crop and reduced heating fuel
    season due to milder temperatures.

    during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007 and 2006,
    respectively. Of the grain revenues increase of
    $1,377.7&#160;million (92%), $690.5&#160;million is due to
    increased average grain selling prices and $687.2&#160;million
    is attributable to increased volumes during the three months
    ended November&#160;30, 2007 compared to the same period last
    fiscal year. The average sales price of all grain and oilseed
    commodities sold reflected an increase of $2.10 per bushel
    (46%). The 2007 fall harvest produced good yields throughout
    most of the United States, with the quality of most grains rated
    as excellent or good. Despite the good harvest, prices for
    nearly all grain commodity prices increased because of strong
    demand, particularly for corn which is used as the feedstock for
    most ethanol plants as well as for livestock feed. The average
    month-end market price per bushel of soybeans, spring wheat and
    corn increased approximately $4.06, $4.06 and $0.58,
    respectively, when compared to the prices of those same grains
    for the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006. Volumes
    increased 28% during the three months ended November&#160;30,
    2007 compared with the same period of a year ago. Wheat,
    soybeans and barley reflected the largest volume increases
    compared to the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006.
    Beginning in September, 2007 we began recording revenues from
    our crop nutrients business acquisition of $533.5&#160;million
    for the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007. Our Ag
    Business segment non-grain product revenues of
    $373.0&#160;million increased by $107.3&#160;million (40%)
    during the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007 compared to
    the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006, primarily the
    result of increased revenues of crop nutrient, energy, feed,
    seed and crop protection products. Other revenues within our Ag
    Business segment of $42.1&#160;million during the three months
    ended November&#160;30, 2007 increased $9.2&#160;million (28%)
    compared to the three months ended November&#160;30, 2006,
    primarily from grain handling and service revenues.

    partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest of
    $2.4&#160;million. For the three months ended November&#160;30,
    2007 and 2006, we capitalized interest of $4.3&#160;million and
    $1.9&#160;million, respectively, primarily related to
    construction projects in our Energy segment for financing
    interest on our coker project. The average level of short-term
    borrowings increased $644.9&#160;million during the three months
    ended November&#160;30, 2007 compared to the same three-month
    period in fiscal 2007, and the average short-term interest rate
    increased 0.07%. Higher commodity prices within our Ag Business
    segment in addition to increased volumes and working capital
    needs from our crop nutrients business acquisition increased
    that segment&#146;s interest, net by $10.0&#160;million. Also,
    in October, 2007, we entered into a private placement with
    several insurance companies and banks for additional long-term
    debt in the amount of $400.0&#160;million with an interest rate
    of 6.18%. The interest income increase of $1.3&#160;million
    (34%) was primarily at NCRA within our Energy segment and
    relates to marketable securities and were partially offset by
    reduced interest income in Corporate and Other, which relates to
    a decrease of interest income on our hedging and other services.

    On November&#160;30, 2007 our committed line of credit consisted

    gains and cash distributions from equity investments of
    $8.3&#160;million and an increase in net operating assets and

    investments were previously discussed in &#147;Results of
    Operations&#148;, and primarily includes the gain on the sale of

    operating assets and liabilities was caused primarily by

    increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses, and customer
    advance payments on November&#160;30, 2007, when compared to

    soybeans and corn, increased by $2.58 (37%) per bushel, $2.12
    (24%) per bushel and $0.61 (19%) per bushel, respectively, when
    compared to the prices on August&#160;31, 2007. In addition,

    23.0&#160;million bushels (15%) when comparing inventories at
    November&#160;30, 2007 and August&#160;31, 2007, as the fall

    distributions from equity investments of $81.7&#160;million were

    of $5.3&#160;million from the sale of 540,000&#160;shares of our
    CF stock, included in our Ag Business segment. The increase in
    net operating assets and liabilities was caused primarily by an
    increase of $210.5&#160;million in derivative assets and hedging
    deposits (included in other current assets) due to increases in
    grain prices on November&#160;30, 2006 when compared to

    bushels (17%) when comparing inventories on November&#160;30,
    2006 to August&#160;31, 2006, due to the fall 2006 harvest. In
    addition, another cause for the increase in net operating assets
    and liabilities was that our country operations locations had
    prepayments of product inventory to suppliers in anticipation of
    the spring planting season, primarily to secure product pricing
    discounts. Product prepayments increased $81.8&#160;million on
    November&#160;30, 2006 when compared to August&#160;31, 2006.

    At the same time, we expect this increase in net operating
    assets and liabilities to be partially offset by the collection
    of prepayments from our own customers for these products.
    Prepayments are frequently used for agronomy products to assure
    supply and at times to guarantee prices. In addition, during our

    2007 and 2006, respectively. For the year ending August&#160;31,
    2008, we expect to spend approximately $355.0&#160;million for
    the acquisition of property, plant and equipment. Included in
    our projected capital spending through fiscal 2008 is completion
    of the installation of a coker unit at our Laurel, Montana
    refinery, along with other refinery improvements, which will
    allow us to extract a greater volume of high value gasoline and
    diesel fuel from a barrel of crude oil and less relatively lower
    value asphalt, that is expected to increase yields by about
    14&#160;percent. The total cost for this project is expected to
    be approximately $380.0&#160;million, with completion planned
    for February 2008. Total expenditures for this project as of
    November&#160;30, 2007, were $346.3&#160;million, of which
    $62.0&#160;million and $47.1&#160;million were incurred during
    the three months ended November&#160;30, 2007 and 2006,
    respectively.

    During the first fiscal quarter of 2008, we retrospectively
    changed our accounting method for the costs of turnarounds from
    the accrual method to the deferral method, as previously
    discussed. Turnarounds are the scheduled and required shutdowns
    of refinery processing units for significant overhaul and
    refurbishment. Expenditures for these major repairs during the

    In October 2003, we and NCRA reached agreements with the EPA and
    the State of Montana&#146;s Department of Environmental Quality
    and the State of Kansas Department of Health and Environment
    regarding the terms of settlements with respect to reducing air
    emissions at our Laurel, Montana and NCRA&#146;s McPherson,
    Kansas refineries. These settlements are part of a series of
    similar settlements that the EPA has negotiated with major
    refiners under the EPA&#146;s Petroleum Refinery Initiative. The
    settlements take the form of consent decrees filed with the
    U.S.&#160;District Court for the District of Montana (Billings
    Division) and the U.S.&#160;District Court for the District of
    Kansas. Each consent decree details potential capital
    improvements, supplemental environmental projects and
    operational changes that we and NCRA have agreed to implement at
    the relevant refinery over several years. The consent decrees
    also required us and NCRA to pay approximately $0.5&#160;million
    in aggregate civil cash penalties. As of November&#160;30, 2007,
    the aggregate capital expenditures for us and NCRA related to
    these settlements was approximately $22&#160;million, and we
    anticipate spending an additional $9&#160;million over the next
    four years. We do not believe that the settlements will have a
    material adverse effect on us or NCRA.

    cash payment to Land O&#146;Lakes in order to maintain equal
    capital accounts in Agriliance, as previously discussed. During
    the same period, we contributed $230.0&#160;million to

    Land O&#146;Lakes making equal contributions to Agriliance,
    primarily for crop nutrient and crop protection product trade
    payables that were not assumed by us or Land O&#146;Lakes upon
    the distribution of the crop nutrients and crop protection

    BioEnergy and VeraSun Corporation announced that they entered
    into a definitive merger agreement subject to shareholder and
    regulatory approval. If the merger is consummated, we would own

    November&#160;30, 2006, included $22.2&#160;million for an
    equity position in a Brazil-based grain handling and
    merchandising company, Multigrain S.A., an agricultural
    commodities business headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in
    which we have a current ownership interest of 37.5% and is
    included in our Ag Business segment. This venture, which
    includes grain storage and export facilities, builds on our
    South American soybean origination, and helps meet customer

    Redemptions of capital equity certificates approved by the Board
    of Directors are divided into two pools, one for non-individuals
    (primarily member cooperatives) who may participate in an annual
    pro-rata program for equities held by them, and another for
    individuals who are eligible for equity redemptions at
    age&#160;70 or upon death. The amount that each non-individual
    receives under the pro-rata program in any year is determined by
    multiplying the dollars available for pro-rata redemptions, if
    any that year, as determined by the Board of Directors, by a
    fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of patronage
    certificates eligible for redemption held by them, and the
    denominator of which is the sum of the patronage certificates
    eligible for redemption held by all eligible holders of
    patronage certificates that are not individuals. In addition to
    the annual pro-rata program, the Board of Directors approved
    additional equity redemptions targeting older capital equity
    certificates which were paid in fiscal 2007 and that are
    authorized to be paid in fiscal 2008. In accordance with
    authorization from the Board of Directors, we expect total
    redemptions related to the year ended August&#160;31, 2007, that
    will be distributed in fiscal 2008, to be approximately
    $179.4&#160;million, of which $3.8&#160;million was redeemed in
