References to the Company – References to “REX” or the “Company” in the consolidated condensed financial statements and in these notes to the consolidated condensed financial statements refer to REX American Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its majority and wholly owned subsidiaries.

The consolidated condensed financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the information set forth therein. Any such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Financial information as of January 31, 2021 included in these financial statements has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021 (fiscal year 2020). It is suggested that these unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 2021. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated condensed financial statements in this report include the operating results and financial position of the Company. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates the results of its four majority owned subsidiaries. The Company includes the results of operations of One Earth Energy, LLC (“One Earth”) in its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations on a delayed basis of one month as One Earth has a fiscal year end of December 31. On November 18, 2021, the Company ceased operation of its refined coal business as tax credits could no longer be earned on its operations. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the results of the operation of the refined coal business were recognized in discontinued operations. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with discontinued operations reporting.

Nature of Operations – Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company now has one reportable segment, ethanol and by-products. Within the ethanol and by-products segment, the Company has equity investments in three ethanol limited liability companies, two of which are majority ownership interests. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current segment reporting.

The interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the

Company’s fiscal year 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. While management believes that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim financial information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations that will be accomplished at fiscal year-end. Examples of such estimates include accrued liabilities, such as management bonuses, and the provision for income taxes. Any adjustments pursuant to such estimates during the quarter were of a normal recurring nature. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company recognizes sales of products when obligations under the terms of the respective contracts with customers are satisfied. This occurs with the transfer of control of products, generally upon shipment from the ethanol plant or upon loading of the rail car used to transport the products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods. Sales, value added and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from net sales and revenue.

The majority of the Company’s sales have payment terms ranging from 5 to 10 days after transfer of control. The Company has determined that sales contracts do not generally include a significant financing component. The Company has not historically, and does not intend to, enter sales contracts in which payment is due from a customer prior to transferring product to the customer. Thus, the Company does not record unearned revenue.

¹ Refined coal sales were recorded net of the cost of coal as the Company purchased the coal feedstock from the customer to which the processed refined coal was sold.

At October 31, 2021, the Company has lease agreements, as lessee, for railcars. All of the leases are accounted for as operating leases. The lease agreements do not contain a specified implicit interest rate; therefore, the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate was used to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The exercise of any lease renewal is at the Company’s sole discretion. The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the noncancelable period of the lease and any periods covered by renewal options that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Certain leases include rent escalations pre-set in the agreements, which are factored into the lease payment stream. The components of lease expense, classified as SG&A expenses on the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations are as follows:

At October 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term is 2.6 years, and the weighted average discount rate is 4.87% for the above leases.

The following table is a summary of future minimum rentals on such leases at January 31, 2021 (amounts in thousands):

At January 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term was 3.0 years, and the weighted average discount rate was 5.26% for the above leases.

The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This accounting standard defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The Company determines the fair market values of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values which are provided below. The Company carries certain cash equivalents, investments and derivative instruments at fair value.

The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the over-the-counter market are determined using quantitative models that require the use of multiple market inputs including interest rates, prices and indices to generate pricing and volatility factors, which are used to value the position. The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services. 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.

To ensure the prudent application of estimates and management judgment in determining the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, investments and property and equipment, various processes and controls have been adopted, which include: (i) model validation that requires a review and approval for pricing, financial statement fair value determination and risk quantification; and (ii) periodic review and substantiation of profit and loss reporting for all derivative instruments. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at October 31, 2021 are summarized below (amounts in thousands):

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2021 are

summarized below (amounts in thousands):

The Company determined the fair value of the investment in cooperative by using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. Inputs used in the analysis include the face value of the allocated equity amount, the projected term for repayment based upon a historical trend and a risk adjusted discount rate based on the expected compensation participants would demand because of the uncertainty of the future cash flows. The inherent risk and uncertainty associated with unobservable inputs could have a significant effect on the actual fair value of the investment.

There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at October 31, 2021 or January 31, 2021.

The components of accrued expenses and other current liabilities are as follows for the periods presented (amounts in thousands):

The Company is exposed to various market risks, including changes in commodity prices (raw materials and finished goods). To manage risks associated with the volatility of these natural business exposures, the Company enters into commodity agreements and forward purchase (corn and natural gas) and sale (ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil) contracts. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company does not purchase or sell derivative financial instruments for which a lack of marketplace quotations would require the use of fair value estimation techniques. The changes in fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recognized in current period earnings as the Company does not use hedge accounting.

As of October 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021, all of the derivative financial instruments held by the Company were subject to enforceable master netting arrangements with the counterparty. The Company’s accounting policy is to offset positions and amounts owed or owing with the same counterparty. As of October 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021, the gross positions of the enforceable master netting agreements are not significantly different from the net positions presented in the table above. Depending on the amount of an unrealized loss on a derivative contract held by the Company, the counterparty may require collateral to secure the Company’s derivative contract position. The Company was required to maintain collateral in the amount of approximately $1,737,000 and approximately $1,657,000 to secure the Company’s derivative position at October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, respectively.

See Note 5 which contains fair value information related to derivative financial instruments.

The Company recognized losses (included in net sales and revenue) on derivative financial instruments of approximately $2,144,000 and $777,000 for the third quarter of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recognized losses (included in net sales and revenue) on derivative financial instruments of approximately $4,907,000 and $1,076,000 for the first nine months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company recognized gains (included in cost of sales) on derivative financial instruments of approximately $5,474,000 and losses of approximately $26,000 for the third quarter of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recognized losses (included in cost of sales) on derivative financial instruments of approximately $2,562,000 and approximately $1,785,000 for the first nine months of fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s equity method investment at October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands):

Undistributed earnings of the Company’s equity method investee totaled approximately $10.7 million and approximately $9.4 million at October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, respectively. The Company received dividends from its equity method investee of approximately $1.5 million and approximately $2.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2021 and 2020, respectively.

At October 31, 2021, the Company owned certificates of deposit that had an amortized cost, or carrying value, of approximately $21,620,000. The contractual maturity of these investments was less than one year. The yield to maturity rate was approximately 0.1%. Unrealized gains or losses were insignificant.

At January 31, 2021, the Company owned certificates of deposit that had an amortized cost, or carrying value, of approximately $36,194,000. The contractual maturity of these investments was less than one year. The yield to maturity rate was approximately 0.2%. Unrealized gains or losses were insignificant.

The Company maintains the REX 2015 Incentive Plan, approved by its shareholders, which reserves a total of 550,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to its terms. The plan provides 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. Since plan inception, the Company has only granted restricted stock awards. The Company measures share-based compensation grants at fair value on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures. The Company records noncash compensation expense related to liability and equity

awards in its consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis. At October 31, 2021, 471,027 shares remain available for issuance under the Plan. As a component of their compensation, restricted stock has been granted to directors at the closing market price of REX common stock on the grant date. In addition, one third of executives’ incentive compensation is payable by an award of restricted stock based on the then closing market price of REX common stock on the grant date. The Company’s board of directors has determined that the grant date will be June 15^th, or the next business day if June 15^th is not a business day, for all grants of restricted stock.

At October 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock was approximately $126,000 and $272,000, respectively. The following tables summarize non-vested restricted stock award activity for the periods presented:

The above tables include 5,714 and 14,777 non-vested shares at October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which are included in the number of weighted average shares outstanding used to determine basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to REX common shareholders. Such shares are treated, for

accounting purposes, as being fully vested at the grant date as they were granted to recipients who were retirement eligible at the time of grant.

Prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company determined that small changes in estimated “ordinary” income would result in significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate. Thus, the Company used a discrete effective tax rate method to calculate the provision or benefit for income taxes for the three and nine months ended October 31, 2020. Beginning on November 18, 2021, we are unable to earn additional tax credits related to the refined coal facility, and as such, have ceased operations of that facility. As earning these credits is what had caused the significant changes in the estimated annual effective tax rate from small changes in estimated “ordinary” income and we have now classified the refined coal segment as discontinued operations, we have returned to using the annual effective tax rate method to calculate the provision or benefit for income taxes from continuing operations beginning in the three and nine month periods ended October 31, 2021.

The Company’s income tax provision from continuing operations was approximately $4.3 million and approximately $5.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision (benefit) from continuing operations was approximately $8.3 million and approximately $(0.4) million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s income tax provision for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 included a provision of approximately $1.8 million related to reversing previously recognized tax benefits associated with the lengthening of a net operating loss carryback allowed by the CARES Act as the Company no longer had a year to date estimated taxable loss.

The Company’s income tax benefit from discontinued operations was approximately $4.9 million and approximately $1.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s income tax benefit from discontinued operations was approximately $12.6 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefit is derived from the level of tax credits generated from the refined coal business and the tax benefit of the loss from operations. Through its refined coal business, the Company earned production tax credits pursuant to IRC Section 45. The credits can be used to reduce future income tax liabilities for up to 20 years.

The Company assessed all available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it expects sufficient future taxable income will be generated to allow for the realization of existing federal deferred tax assets. The Company ceased operation of its refined coal business on November 18, 2021. There is sufficient objectively verifiable income for management to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will utilize available federal deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.

The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and various state income tax returns. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years ended January 31, 2014 and prior. The Company is currently undergoing a federal income tax examination for the years ended January 31, 2015 through January 31, 2020.

On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during

the next 12 months; however, the Company does not expect the change to have a material effect on results of operations or financial position. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

On November 18, 2021, the Company ceased operation of its refined coal business as tax credits could no longer be earned on its operation. Beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2021, the results of the operations of the refined coal business will be recognized as discontinued operations. Below is a table reflecting certain items of the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Operations that were reclassified as discontinued operations for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):
