Inventory under inventory supply and intermediation arrangements includes certain crude oil stored at the Company’s Delaware City refinery's storage facilities that the Company will purchase as it is consumed in connection with its crude supply agreement; and light finished products sold to counterparties in connection with the intermediation agreements and stored in the Paulsboro and Delaware City refineries' storage facilities.
Due to the lower crude oil and refined product pricing environment at the end of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an inventory lower of cost or market reserve of $668,902 and $690,110, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The net effect of the $21,208 change in the lower of cost or market reserve between December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 increased operating income and net income by $21,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Lower of cost or market adjustments are recorded to cost of sales.
