Revenues from Contracts with Customers Other Revenues
 
The Company’s current and historical revenues have consisted of the following: (a) ethanol sales and related products revenue, net; (b) hydrocarbon revenue; and (c) grant and other revenue, which primarily has historically consisted of revenues from governmental and cooperative research grants.
 
Ethanol sales and related products revenues, net.
Ethanol sales and related products revenues, net are sold to customers on a “free-on-board, shipping point” basis. Each transaction occurs independent of any other sale, and once sold, there are
no
future obligations on the part of the Company to provide post-sale support or promises to deliver future goods or services.
 
Hydrocarbon revenue.
Hydrocarbon revenues include sales of ATJ, isooctene and isooctane and are sold mostly on a “free-on-board, shipping point” basis. Each transaction occurs independent of any other sale, and once sold, there are
no
future obligations on the part of the Company to provide post-sale support or promises to deliver future goods or services.
 
Grant and other revenues.
Grant and other revenues primarily have historically consisted of governmental and cooperative research grants, of which the
NARA grant, funded by the USDA, comprised the majority of those revenues since
2014.
After reviewing this arrangement, the Company has concluded that this grant consists of a non-reciprocal arrangement, and therefore, does
not
qualify as a contract pursuant to Topic
606
Revenues from Contracts with Customers”
. Other revenues also include occasional short-term (less than
one
-year) consulting services and until
December 2017,
the lease of the Company’s corn storage bins at its Luverne, Minnesota facility.
 
The following table sets forth the components of the Company’s revenues between those generated from contracts with customers and those generated from arrangements that do
not
constitute a contract with a customer (in thousands):

Goods transferred at a point-in-time.
For the years ended
December 31, 2018,
2017
and
2016,
respectively, there were
no
contracts with customers for which consideration was variable or for which there were multiple performance obligations for any given contract. Accordingly, the entire transaction price is allocated to the goods transferred. As of
December 31, 2018,
2017,
and
2016,
respectively, there were
no
remaining unfulfilled or partially fulfilled performance obligations.
 
All goods transferred are tested to ensure product sold satisfies contractual product specifications prior to transfer. The customer obtains control of the goods when title and risk of loss for the goods has transferred, which in most cases is “
free-on-board, shipping point
”. All material contracts have payment terms of between
one
to
three
months, and there are
no
return or refund rights.
 
Services transferred over time.
For the years ended
December 31, 2018,
2017
and
2016,
respectively, there were
no
contracts for which consideration was variable or for which there were multiple performance obligation for any given contract. Accordingly, the entire transaction price is allocated to the individual service performance obligation. As of
December 31, 2018,
2017,
and
2016,
respectively, there were
no
material unfulfilled or partially fulfilled performance obligations.
 
For the years ended
December 2018,
2017
and
2016,
respectively, revenues were recognized ratably over time, as the performance obligation was satisfied and benefit to the customer was transferred on a ratable basis over time.
 
Contract Assets and Trade Receivables.
As of
December 31, 
2018,
2017
and 
2016,
respectively, there were
no
contract assets or liabilities as all customer amounts owed to the Company are unconditional and the Company does
not
receive payment in advance for its products. Accordingly, amounts owed by customers are classified as account receivables on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. In addition, due to the nature of the Company’s contracts, there are
no
costs incurred or to be paid in the future that qualify for asset recognition as a cost to fulfill or obtain a contract. The Company did
not
incur any impairment losses on any receivables as all amounts owed were paid or current as of
December 31, 2018,
2017
or
2016,
respectively.
