Inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-product. Inventory is permanently written down for instances when cost exceeds estimated net realizable value; such write-downs are based primarily upon commodity prices as the market value of inventory is often dependent upon changes in commodity prices.

The Company accounts for investments in limited liability companies in which it may have a less than 20% ownership interest, using the equity method of accounting when the factors discussed in ASC 323 are met. The excess of the carrying value over the underlying equity in the net assets of equity method investees is allocated to specific assets and liabilities. Investments in businesses that the Company does not control but for which it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the equity method.

As such, the Company seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on its operating results. The Company may take hedging positions in these commodities as one way to mitigate risk. While the Company attempts to link its hedging activities to purchase and sale activities, there are situations in which these hedging activities can themselves result in losses. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings as the Company does not use hedge accounting.</p> 300000 500000 1300000 400000 <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 23.75pt; text-align: justify"><b><i>Stock Compensation </i></b>– The Company had a stock-based compensation plan, approved by its shareholders, which reserved a total of 3,300,000 split-adjusted shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to its terms.

A grant related to income is recognized in earnings in a systematic and rational manner over the periods in which the entity recognizes the related expenses. Presentation of the grant on the income statement can be either as a component of other income or as a deduction from the related expenses.

Estimation risk is greater for derivative asset and liability positions that are either option-based or have longer maturity dates where observable market inputs are less readily available or are unobservable, in which case interest rate, price or index scenarios are extrapolated in order to determine the fair value. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities include adjustments for market liquidity, counterparty credit quality, the Company’s own credit standing and other specific factors, where appropriate.

Prepayments totaling $15.6 million were made prior to fiscal year 2025 and were recorded within “Other assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of January 31, 2025. This balance was included in the finance lease right-of-use asset calculation upon lease commencement in fiscal year 2026 as a non-cash investing activity. The lease includes monthly payments of approximately $39,000 to be made over the term of the lease. The lease term for this lease includes the noncancelable period of the lease and any periods for which only the Company has the option to cancel but is reasonably expected to continue the lease. Based on this, the lease term was determined to be 10 years. Control of the facility’s output was transferred to the Company just before the end of the first quarter of 2025, with monthly lease expense commencing in the second quarter of 2025. For the year ended January 31, 2026, expense related to this lease was approximately $1.6 million, which includes approximately $171,000 in interest expense.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 22.3pt; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 22.3pt; text-align: justify">The weighted average remaining lease term for the finance lease is 9.3 years as of January 31, 2026.

The plan provided for the granting of shares of stock, including options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights tied to the value of common stock, restricted stock, and restricted stock unit awards to eligible employees, non-employee directors and consultants. Until 2022, the Company had only granted restricted stock awards.  In May 2022, the Company issued restricted stock units to certain officers of the Company which vested based on the Company’s TSR compared to the TSRs of companies that comprise the Russell 2000 Index over a three-year performance period (see below). The Company measures share-based compensation grants at fair value on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The Company records non-cash compensation expense related to equity awards in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. At the time of its expiration, 1,065,809 shares (pre-2025 split) remained available for issuance under the Plan.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 22.5pt; text-align: justify"><b><i>Restricted Stock Awards</i></b></p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 22.5pt; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 23.75pt; text-align: justify">As a component of their compensation, restricted stock has been granted to directors and certain employees at the closing market price of REX common stock on the date of the grant.

The OBBBA contains various tax reform provisions affecting businesses, such as the extension of bonus depreciation for assets placed in service after January 19, 2025 and immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs, to result in current deductions that will lower cash paid for income taxes for 2025. The OBBBA made changes to the 45Z and 45Q tax credits that the Company intends to take advantage of which materially impact our effective tax rate. The Section 45Z clean fuel production credit is a general business credit that is allowed with respect to clean transportation fuel produced domestically after December 31, 2024, and before December 31, 2029. This credit, which was part of the IRA, and subsequently extended by the OBBBA, incentivizes the production of clean fuels at our plants that reduce GHG emissions below a CI score of 50. The tax credit utilizes a sliding scale where credits can be earned incrementally between $0.02 and $0.20, or $0.10 and $1.00 if prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements are met, per gallon of non-SAF fuels based on an ethanol plant’s GHG reduction below a 50 CI score threshold, with the first two or ten cents earned upon achieving a CI score below 47.5. The company expects that it is more-likely-than-not that prevailing wage and apprenticeship requirements will be met for 2025 for its consolidated ethanol plants and has calculated the credit at the highest credit rate based on its CI score for 2025, after the purchase of EACs.</p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 23.75pt; text-align: justify"> </p> <p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 23.75pt; text-align: justify">The Company has a general business credit carryforward, net of the impact of uncertain tax positions, of approximately $24.7 million and $4.2 million at January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The Company has reached a settlement with the IRS and is in process of finalizing the audit. As of January 31, 2026, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $259,000, and accrued penalties and interest were approximately $124,000. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, the provision for income taxes would be reduced by approximately $178,000. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate.
