BUSINESS [Abstract]
BUSINESS	NOTE 2. BUSINESS We are a specialty ingredient company focused on producing value-added processing and marketing of healthy, natural and nutrient dense products derived from rice and other small grains, and the by-products created in the milling of these grains. Notably, we apply our proprietary technologies to convert raw rice bran into stabilized rice bran (SRB), and high value derivative products including: RiBalance, a rice bran nutritional package derived from SRB; RiSolubles, a nutritious, carbohydrate and lipid rich fraction of RiBalance; RiFiber, a fiber rich insoluble derivative of RiBalance and ProRyza, a rice bran protein-based product; and a variety of other valuable derivatives extracted from these core products. In granular form, SRB is a food additive used in the production of products for both human and animal consumption. We believe SRB has certain inherent qualities that make it more attractive for this purpose than food additives based on the by-products of other agricultural commodities, such as corn and soybeans. Our SRB and refined SRB products and derivatives support the production of healthy, natural, hypoallergenic, gluten free, and non-genetically modified ingredients and supplements for use in meats, baked goods, cereals, coatings, health foods, and high-end animal nutrition. Our target customers are natural food, food and animal nutrition manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, both domestically and internationally. We manufacture and distribute SRB in various granulations from four locations: two leased facilities located within supplier-owned rice mills in Arbuckle and West Sacramento, California; one company-owned facility in Mermentau, Louisiana; and our company-owned rice mill in Wynne, Arkansas. At our Dillon, Montana facility, we produce SRB based products and derivatives that have been further refined through our proprietary processes. Our rice mill in Wynne, Arkansas also supplies grades U.S. No. 1 and No. 2 premium long and medium white rice. We also own a grain processing facility in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, at which we mill a variety of grains which we can offer to the market.
