Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

B.    Summary of significant accounting policies

(1) Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the condensed consolidated financial statements include accruals that have been established for contingent liabilities, pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, residual values of tanks, capitalization of customer tank installation costs, amortization methods of intangible assets, valuation methods used to value sales returns and allowances, allowance for expected credit losses, fair value of reporting units, fair value of Class B units, recoverability of long-lived assets, assumptions used to value business combinations, determination of incremental borrowing rate used to measure right-of-use asset and lease liability, fair values of derivative contracts and stock-based compensation calculations.

(2) Goodwill, net: The operating partnership tests goodwill for impairment annually during the second fiscal quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the carrying value. During the most recent impairment testing conducted during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2022, the operating partnership determined that goodwill was not impaired.

(3) New accounting standards:

No new accounting standards were adopted during the nine months ended April 30, 2022.
