Business Interruption Insurance Claim and Recovery
Note 14: Business Interruption Insurance Claim and Recovery In June 2010, a pipe failure in the primary reformer of the ammonia plant at the Pryor Facility resulted in a fire that damaged the ammonia plant. The fire was immediately extinguished and there were no injuries. As a result of this damage, the Pryor Facility was unable to produce anhydrous ammonia or urea ammonium nitrate (“UAN”) during substantially all of third quarter of 2010. Our insurance policy provides for business interruption coverage for certain lost profits and extra expense with a 30-day waiting period. Therefore, we filed an insurance claim for business interruption. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized an insurance recovery of $8.6 million relating to this business interruption claim, which was recorded as a reduction to cost of sales. As of September 30, 2011, we do not have any remaining insurance claims associated with our business interruption coverage relating to this event.
