Interest expense
represents interest accrued related to notes the Company had on its farm assets prior to the sale. All notes associated with the
farms have been paid off, and as a result the Company no longer incurs interest on such notes. |
| (2) |
Imputed interest represents an estimate of the interest accrued on the Tap Participation Fee payable to High Plains A&M, LLC (“HP A&M”), which was eliminated as a result of the settlement with HP A&M during the three months ended February 28, 2015. As a result, the Company no longer accrues interest related to the Tap Participation Fee. |
