Trade Receivables

 

Texadian’s customers primarily included major independent refining and marketing companies. Customers are required to pay in advance or are granted credit on a short-term basis when credit risks are considered acceptable. We routinely review our trade receivables and make provisions for doubtful accounts based on existing customer and economic conditions; however, those provisions are estimates and actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are removed from accounts receivable and from the allowance for doubtful accounts when collection efforts have been unsuccessful. As of June 30, 2013, we had no significant allowance for doubtful accounts. Several of Texadian’s physical purchases and sales are with the same counterparty and therefore, they are settled on a net basis and Texadian’s receivables are recorded net of any corresponding payables. Additionally, we provide an accrual for natural gas and oil sales using the sales method by estimating natural gas and oil volumes and prices for months in which revenues have not been received using production and pricing information provided by the operator.
