NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2013

Note 1. Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

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, 2013 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, 2013 (fiscal year 2012). 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, 2013. 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 REX American Resources Corporation and its wholly and 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.

Nature of Operations – The Company operates in two reportable segments, alternative energy and real estate. The Company substantially completed the exit of its retail business during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, although it continues to recognize revenue and expense associated with administering extended service policies as discontinued operations.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

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 2012 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales from the production of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil when title transfers to customers, upon shipment from its plant. Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in net sales and revenue.

The Company includes income from real estate leasing activities in net sales and revenue. The Company accounts for these leases as operating leases. Accordingly, minimum rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Prior to its exit of the retail business, the Company sold extended service policies covering periods beyond the normal manufacturers’ warranty periods, usually with terms of coverage (including manufacturers’ warranty periods) of between 12 to 60 months. Contract revenues and sales commissions are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contracts after the expiration of applicable manufacturers’ warranty periods. The Company retains the obligation to perform warranty service and such costs are charged to operations as incurred. All related revenue and expense is classified as discontinued operations.

Cost of Sales

Alternative energy cost of sales includes depreciation, costs of raw materials, inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, shipping costs, other distribution expenses, warehousing costs, plant management, certain compensation costs, and general facility overhead charges.

Real estate cost of sales includes depreciation, real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other costs directly associated with operating the Company’s portfolio of real property.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The Company includes non-production related costs from its alternative energy segment such as professional fees, selling charges and certain payroll in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company includes costs not directly related to operating its portfolio of real property from its real estate segment such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses.

The Company includes costs associated with its corporate headquarters such as certain payroll and related costs, professional fees and other general expenses in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Interest Cost

No interest was capitalized for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012. Cash paid for interest for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $981,000 and $1,582,000, respectively.

Financial Instruments

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its balance of fixed and variable rate debt. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments and do not represent an actual exchange of the notional amounts between the parties. The swap agreement was not designated for hedge accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The interest rate swap is recorded at its fair value and the changes in fair value are recorded as gain or loss on derivative financial instruments in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations. The Company paid settlements of the interest rate swap of approximately $440,000 and $483,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Forward grain purchase and ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil sale contracts are accounted for under the “normal purchases and normal sales” scope exemption of ASC 815 because these arrangements are for purchases of grain that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used by the Company and sales of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil quantities expected to be produced by the Company over a reasonable period of time in the normal course of business.

Income Taxes

The Company applies an effective tax rate to interim periods that is consistent with the Company’s estimated annual tax rate. The Company provides for deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company provides for a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company paid no income taxes during the three months ended April 30, 2013 or April 30, 2012. The Company received no income tax refunds during the three months ended April 30, 2013 or 2012.

As of April 30, 2013, total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $1,768,000 and accrued penalties and interest were approximately $405,000. If the Company were to prevail on all unrecognized tax benefits recorded, approximately $82,000 of the reserve would benefit the effective tax rate. In addition, the impact of penalties and interest would also benefit the effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are recorded within income tax expense. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company accrues for the effects of open uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest.

Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. Alternative energy segment inventory includes direct production costs and certain overhead costs such as depreciation, property taxes and utilities related to producing ethanol and related by-products. 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 write-down of inventory was approximately $1,000 and $466,000 at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. Fluctuations in the write-down of inventory generally relate to the levels and composition of such inventory at a given point in time. The components of inventory at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements, and 3 to 20 years for fixtures and equipment.

In accordance with ASC 360-10 “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the carrying value of long-lived assets is assessed for recoverability by management when changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, based on an analysis of undiscounted future expected cash flows from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset. There were no impairment charges in the first quarters of fiscal years 2013 and 2012. Impairment charges result from the Company’s management performing cash flow analysis and represent management’s estimate of the excess of net book value over fair value. Fair value is estimated using expected future cash flows on a discounted basis or appraisals of specific properties as appropriate. Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. Given the nature of the Company’s business, events and changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decline in estimated future cash flows, a sustained decline in market prices for similar assets, or a significant adverse change in legal or regulatory factors or the business climate. A significant decline in estimated future cash flows is represented by a greater than 25% annual decline in expected future cash flows (for asset groups in the real estate reportable segment) or a change in the spread between ethanol and grain prices that would result in greater than six consecutive months of estimated or actual significant negative cash flows (for asset groups in the alternative energy reportable segment).

The Company tests for recoverability of an asset group by comparing its carrying amount to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount of an asset group exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the asset group’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, if any. The Company generally determines the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow model based on market participant assumptions (for income producing asset groups) or by obtaining appraisals based on the market approach and comparable market transactions (for non-income producing asset groups).

In the real estate reportable segment, each individual real estate property represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. As such, the Company separately tests individual real estate properties for recoverability. The real estate reportable segment includes both income producing and non-income producing asset groups.

In the alternative energy reportable segment, each individual ethanol plant represents the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. As such, the Company separately tests individual ethanol plants for recoverability. In addition to the general events and changes in circumstances noted above that indicate that an asset group may not be recoverable, the Company also considers the following events as indicators: the decision to suspend operations at a plant for at least a six month period, or an expected or actual failure to maintain compliance with debt covenants. The alternative energy reportable segment includes only income producing asset groups.

Investments and Deposits

Restricted investments, which are principally money market mutual funds and cash deposits, are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Restricted investments at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 are required by two states to cover possible future claims under extended service policies over the remaining lives of the service policy contracts. In accordance with ASC 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities” the Company has classified these investments as available for sale.

The method of accounting applied to long-term investments, whether consolidated, equity or cost, involves an evaluation of the significant terms of each investment that explicitly grant or suggest evidence of control or influence over the operations of the investee and also includes the identification of any variable interests in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company consolidates the results of two majority owned subsidiaries, One Earth and NuGen. The results of One Earth are included on a delayed basis of one month. 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, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures” 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. Any unallocated excess is treated as goodwill and is recorded as a component of the carrying value of the equity method investee. 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. Investments in which the

Company does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial matters are accounted for using the cost method. The Company accounts for its investments in Big River Resources, LLC (“Big River”) and Patriot Holdings, LLC (“Patriot”) using the equity method of accounting and includes the results of these entities on a delayed basis of one month.

The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment due to declines in market value considered to be other than temporary. Such impairment evaluations include, in addition to persistent, declining market prices, general economic and company-specific evaluations. If the Company determines that a decline in market value is other than temporary, then a charge to earnings is recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and a new cost basis in the investment is established.

Accounting Changes and Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Effective February 1, 2013, the Company was required to adopt the amended guidance in ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”. This amendment requires disclosure of additional information regarding reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income including presentation of the amounts and individual income statement line items affected. This amendment is in addition to ASC 220 guidance adopted on February 1, 2012, which increased the prominence of other comprehensive income in the financial statements by eliminating the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity, and rather requiring comprehensive income to be reported in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements reporting net income and other comprehensive income. The adoption of this amended guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Effective February 1, 2013, the Company was required to adopt the third phase of amended guidance in ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”. The amendment established common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements by improving comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and those prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards. The amended guidance clarified the application of existing requirements and requires additional disclosure for Level 3 measurements regarding the sensitivity of fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and any interrelationships between those inputs. The adoption of this amended guidance did expand disclosure related to fair value but, otherwise, did not impact the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

Note 3. Leases

At April 30, 2013, the Company has lease agreements, as landlord, for all or portions of six owned former retail stores and one owned former distribution center. All of the leases are

accounted for as operating leases. The following table is a summary of future minimum rentals on such leases (amounts in thousands):

Note 4. Fair Value

The Company applies ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, (“ASC 820”) which provides a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP. 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. ASC 820 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 cash equivalents, investment in cooperative, restricted investments and derivative liabilities at fair value.

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 1 assets and liabilities include debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded in an active exchange market, as well as certain U.S. Treasury securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities include derivative contracts whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methods, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Unobservable inputs shall be

developed based on the best information available, which may include the Company’s own data.

The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by using quantitative models that discount future cash flows using the LIBOR forward interest rate curve. 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.

The fair values of property and equipment, as applicable, are determined by using various models that discount future expected cash flows. Estimation risk is greater for vacant properties as the probability of expected cash flows from the use of vacant properties is difficult to predict.

To ensure the prudent application of estimates and management judgment in determining the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities and property and equipment, various processes and controls have been adopted, which include: model validation that requires a review and approval for pricing, financial statement fair value determination and risk quantification; periodic review and substantiation of profit and loss reporting for all derivative instruments and property and equipment items.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at April 30, 2013 are summarized below (amounts in thousands):

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at January 31, 2013 are summarized below (amounts in thousands):

(1) The money market mutual fund is included in “Restricted investments and deposits” and the investment in cooperative is included in “Other assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to assets (investment in cooperative) measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs (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 subsequent to January 31, 2013.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of January 31, 2013 are summarized below (amounts in thousands):

The fair value of the Company’s debt is approximately $102.8 million and $107.0 million at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value was estimated with Level 2 inputs using a discounted cash flow analysis and the Company’s estimate of market rates of interest for similar loan agreements with companies that have a similar credit risk.

The components of other assets at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Note 7. Long Term Debt and Interest Rate Swaps

One Earth Energy Subsidiary Level Debt

In September 2007, One Earth entered into a $111,000,000 financing agreement consisting of a construction loan agreement for $100,000,000 together with a $10,000,000 annually renewable revolving loan and a $1,000,000 letter of credit with First National Bank of Omaha (“the Bank”). The construction loan was converted into a term loan on July 31, 2009. The term loan bears interest at variable interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 280 basis points to LIBOR plus 300 basis points (3.1% -3.3% at April 30, 2013). Beginning with the first quarterly payment on October 8, 2009, payments are due in 19 quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 120 month amortization schedule. One final installment will be required on the maturity date (July 31, 2014) for the remaining unpaid principal balance with accrued interest. Principal payments equal to 20% of annual excess cash flows are also due. Such payments cannot exceed $6 million in a year.

Borrowings are secured by all of the assets of One Earth. This debt is recourse only to One Earth and not to REX American Resources Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. As of April 30, 2013, approximately $55.4 million was outstanding on the term loan. One Earth is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including debt service

coverage ratio requirements and working capital requirements. One Earth was in compliance with these covenants, as applicable, at April 30, 2013. On March 13, 2013, One Earth entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with the Bank. This amendment included:

Based on the Company’s forecasts, which are primarily based on estimates of plant production, prices of ethanol, corn, distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and natural gas as well as other assumptions management believes to be reasonable, management believes that One Earth will be able to maintain compliance with the covenants pursuant to its loan agreement with the Bank for the next 12 months. Management also believes that cash flow from operating activities together with working capital will be sufficient to meet One Earth’s liquidity needs.

One Earth has paid approximately $1.4 million in financing costs. These costs are recorded as deferred financing costs and are amortized ratably over the term of the loan.

The Company’s proportionate share of restricted net assets related to One Earth was approximately $78.9 million and $77.9 million at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. Restricted net assets may not be paid in the form of dividends or advances to the parent company or other members of One Earth per the terms of the loan agreement with the Bank.

As of the end of its first quarter, One Earth has no outstanding borrowings on the $10,000,000 revolving loan, which expires on May 31, 2014, nor any outstanding letters of credit.

One Earth entered into a forward interest rate swap in the notional amount of $50.0 million with the Bank. The swap settlements commenced as of July 31, 2009 and terminate on July 8, 2014. The swap fixed a portion of the variable interest rate of the term loan subsequent to the plant completion date at 7.9%. At April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013, the Company recorded a liability of approximately $2.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to the fair value of the swap. The change in fair value is recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.

NuGen Energy Subsidiary Level Debt

In November 2011, NuGen entered into a $65,000,000 financing agreement consisting of a term loan for $55,000,000 and a $10,000,000 annually renewable revolving loan with First National Bank of Omaha (“the Bank”). The term loan bears interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 325 basis points, subject to a 4% floor (4% at April 30, 2013). Beginning with the first quarterly payment on February 1, 2012, payments are due in 19 quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 120 month

amortization schedule. One final installment will be required on the maturity date (October 31, 2016) for the remaining unpaid principal balance with accrued interest. Principal payments equal to 40% of annual excess cash flows are also due. Such payments cannot exceed $5 million in a year.

Borrowings are secured by all of the assets of NuGen. This debt is recourse only to NuGen and not to REX American Resources Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. As of April 30, 2013, approximately $46.8 million was outstanding on the term loan. NuGen is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement, including debt service coverage ratio requirements and working capital requirements. NuGen was in compliance with these covenants, as applicable, at April 30, 2013. On March 13, 2013, NuGen entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with the Bank. This amendment included:

Based on the Company’s forecasts, which are primarily based on estimates of plant production, prices of ethanol, corn, distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and natural gas as well as other assumptions management believes to be reasonable, management believes that NuGen will be able to maintain compliance with the covenants pursuant to its loan agreement with the Bank for the next 12 months. Management also believes that cash flow from operating activities together with working capital will be sufficient to meet NuGen’s liquidity needs.

NuGen has paid approximately $0.6 million in financing costs. These costs are recorded as deferred financing costs and are amortized ratably over the term of the loan.

The Company’s proportionate share of restricted net assets related to NuGen was approximately $51.3 million and approximately $49.5 million at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. Restricted net assets may not be paid in the form of dividends or advances to the parent company or other members of NuGen per the terms of the loan agreement with the Bank.

NuGen has no outstanding borrowings on the $10,000,000 revolving loan as of April 30, 2013 which expires on May 31, 2014.

Note 8. Financial Instruments

The Company uses an interest rate swap to manage its interest rate exposure at One Earth by fixing the interest rate on a portion of the entity’s variable rate debt. The Company does not engage in trading activities involving derivative contracts for which a lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques. The notional amount and fair value of the derivative, which is not designated as a cash flow hedge at April 30, 2013, are summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands):

As the interest rate swap is not designated as a cash flow hedge, the unrealized gain and loss on the derivative is reported in current earnings. The Company reported gains of $4,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and losses of $147,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Note 9. Stock Option Plans

The Company has stock-based compensation plans under which stock options have been granted to directors, officers and key employees at the market price on the date of the grant. No options have been granted since fiscal year 2004.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, resulting in tax deductions of approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The following table summarizes options granted, exercised and canceled or expired during the three months ended April 30, 2013:

During the first three months of fiscal year 2012, certain officers and directors of the Company tendered 32,935 shares of the Company’s common stock as payment of the exercise price of stock options exercised pursuant to the Company’s Stock-for-Stock and Cashless Option Exercise Rules and Procedures, adopted on June 4, 2001. The purchase price was $32.53 per share.

At April 30, 2013, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options.

Note 10. Income Per Share from Continuing Operations Attributable to REX Common Shareholders

The following table reconciles the computation of basic and diluted net income per share from continuing operations for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012, all shares subject to outstanding options were dilutive.

Note 11. Investments and Restricted Deposits

The Company has approximately $203,000 at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 on deposit with the Florida Department of Financial Services to secure its obligation to fulfill future obligations related to extended warranty contracts sold in the state of Florida. As such, this deposit is restricted from use for general corporate purposes.

In addition to the deposit with the Florida Department of Financial Services, the Company has $300,000 at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 invested in a money market mutual fund to satisfy Florida Department of Financial Services regulations. As such, this investment is restricted from use for general corporate purposes.

The following table summarizes equity method investments at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 (amounts in thousands):

The following table summarizes income or (loss) recognized from equity method investments for the periods presented (amounts in thousands):

Undistributed earnings of Big River and Patriot totaled approximately $22.6 million and $21.2 million at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013, respectively. During the first three months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Company received dividends from equity method investees of approximately $0.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Summarized financial information for each of the Company’s equity method investees is presented in the following table for the three months ended April 30, 2013 and 2012 (amounts in thousands):

Patriot and Big River have debt agreements that limit and restrict amounts the companies can pay in the form of dividends or advances to owners. The restricted net assets of Patriot and Big River combined at April 30, 2013 and January 31, 2013 are approximately $370.4 million and $367.6 million, respectively.

Note 12. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on consolidated pre-tax income from continuing operations was 35.4% for the three months ended April 30, 2013, and 28.9% for the three months ended April 30, 2012. The fluctuations in the effective tax rate primarily relate to the presentation of noncontrolling interests in the income of consolidated subsidiaries as noncontrolling interests are presented in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations after the income tax provision or benefit. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was a higher percentage of income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and income tax returns in various states. 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, 2009 and prior. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, is as follows (amounts in thousands):

Note 13. Discontinued Operations

During fiscal year 2009, the Company completed the exit of its retail business. Accordingly, all operations of the Company’s former retail segment and certain sold properties have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Once real estate property has been sold, and no continuing involvement is expected, the Company classifies the results of the operations as discontinued operations. The results of operations were previously reported in the Company’s retail or real estate segment, depending on when the store ceased operations. Below is a table reflecting certain items of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations that were reclassified as discontinued operations for the periods indicated (amounts in thousands):

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. After taking into consideration legal counsels’ evaluations of such actions, management is of the opinion that their outcome will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements.

One Earth and NuGen have combined forward purchase contracts for approximately 22.7 million bushels of corn, the principal raw material for their ethanol plants. They expect to take delivery of the grain through July 2013.

One Earth and NuGen have combined sales commitments for approximately 40.8 million gallons of ethanol, approximately 63,000 tons of distillers grains and approximately 4.3 million pounds of non-food grade corn oil. They expect to deliver the ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil through July 2013.

Note 15. Segment Reporting

The Company has two segments: alternative energy and real estate. The Company evaluates the performance of each reportable segment based on segment profit. Segment profit excludes income taxes, indirect interest expense, discontinued operations, indirect interest income and certain other items that are included in net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Segment profit includes realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. The following table summarizes segment and other results and assets (amounts in thousands):

Certain corporate costs and expenses, including information technology, employee benefits and other shared services are allocated to the business segments. The allocations are generally amounts agreed upon by management and are based on a reasonable and systematic approach, which may differ from amounts that would be incurred if such services were purchased separately by the business segment. Corporate assets are primarily cash and deferred income tax benefits.

Cash, except for cash held by One Earth and NuGen, is considered to be fungible and available for both corporate and segment use depending on liquidity requirements. Cash of approximately $25.4 million held by One Earth and NuGen will be used primarily to fund working capital needs for the subsidiaries.

Note 16. Related-Party Transactions

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and 2012, One Earth purchased approximately $71.7 million and $56.5 million of corn, respectively, from the Alliance Grain Elevator, an equity investor in One Earth.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Historically, we were a specialty retailer in the consumer electronics/appliance industry serving small to medium-sized towns and communities. In addition, we have been an investor in various alternative energy entities beginning with synthetic fuel partnerships in 1998 and later ethanol production facilities beginning in 2006.

We completed our exit of the retail business as of July 31, 2009. Going forward, we expect that our only retail related activities will consist of the administration of previously sold extended service plans and the payment of related claims. All activities related to extended service plans are classified as discontinued operations. In addition, we have owned real estate remaining from our former retail store operations. The real estate segment consists of 16 former retail stores and one distribution center.

At April 30, 2013, we had equity investments in four ethanol limited liability companies, two of which we have a majority ownership interest in. We may consider making additional investments in the alternative energy segment in future periods. The following table is a summary of ethanol gallons shipped at our plants:

Our ethanol operations are highly dependent on commodity prices, especially prices for corn, ethanol, distillers grains and natural gas. As a result of price volatility for these commodities, our operating results can fluctuate substantially. The price and availability of corn is subject to significant fluctuations depending upon a number of factors that affect commodity prices in general, including crop conditions, weather, federal policy and foreign trade. Because

the market price of ethanol is not always directly related to corn prices, at times ethanol prices may lag movements in corn prices and, in an environment of higher prices, reduce the overall margin structure at the plants. As a result, at times, we may operate our plants at negative or marginally positive operating margins.

We expect our ethanol plants to produce approximately 2.8 gallons of denatured ethanol for each bushel of grain processed in the production cycle. We refer to the difference between the price per gallon of ethanol and the price per bushel of grain (divided by 2.8) as the “crush spread”. Should the crush spread decline, it is possible that our ethanol plants will generate operating results that do not provide adequate cash flows for sustained periods of time. In such cases, production at the ethanol plants may be reduced or stopped altogether in order to minimize variable costs at individual plants. We expect these decisions to be made on an individual plant basis, as there are different market conditions at each of our ethanol plants.

We attempt to manage the risk related to the volatility of commodity prices by utilizing forward grain purchase and forward ethanol, distillers grains and corn oil sale contracts. We attempt to match quantities of these sale contracts with an appropriate quantity of grain purchase contracts over a given period of time when we can obtain an adequate gross margin resulting from the contracts we have executed. However, the market for future ethanol sales contracts is not a mature market. Consequently, we generally execute fixed price contracts for no more than three months into the future at any given time. As a result of the relatively short period of time our contracts cover, we generally cannot predict the future movements in the crush spread for more than three months; thus, we are unable to predict the likelihood or amounts of future income or loss from the operations of our ethanol facilities.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

During the three months ended April 30, 2013, we did not change any of our critical accounting policies as disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 9, 2013. All other accounting policies used in preparing our interim fiscal year 2013 Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements are the same as those described in our Form 10-K.

Fiscal Year

All references in this report to a particular fiscal year are to REX’s fiscal year ended January 31. For example, “fiscal year 2013” means the period February 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014.

Results of Operations

For a detailed analysis of period to period changes, see the segment discussion that follows this section as this is how management views and monitors our business.

Comparison of Three Months Ended April 30, 2013 and 2012

Net sales and revenue in the quarter ended April 30, 2013 were approximately $178.7 million compared to approximately $151.0 million in the prior year’s first quarter, representing an increase of approximately $27.7 million. Net sales and revenue do not include sales from real estate operations classified as discontinued operations. The increase was primarily caused by higher sales in our alternative energy segment of approximately $27.7 million. Net sales and revenue from our real estate segment were approximately $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and approximately $0.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

The following table reflects the approximate percent of net sales for each major product and service group for the following periods:

Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was approximately $9.1 million (5.1% of net sales and revenue) which was approximately $3.6 million higher compared to approximately $5.5 million of gross profit (3.7% of net sales and revenue) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 increased by approximately $3.5 million compared to the prior year from our alternative energy segment. Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was approximately $71,000 compared to approximately $15,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 from our real estate segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were approximately $3.7 million (2.1% of net sales and revenue), an increase of approximately $1.0 million from approximately $2.7 million (1.8% of net sales and revenue) for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The increase was primarily caused by higher expenses in our alternative energy segment of approximately $0.9 million.

During the first quarters of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, we recognized income of approximately $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from our equity investments in Big River and Patriot. Big River has an effective ownership of ethanol gallons shipped in the trailing twelve months ended April 30, 2013 of approximately 300 million gallons. Patriot has one plant which shipped approximately 116 million gallons of ethanol in the trailing 12 months ended April 30, 2013. Due to the inherent volatility of the crush spread, we cannot predict the likelihood of future operating results from Big River and Patriot being similar to historical results.

Interest income of $25,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Interest expense was approximately $1.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, a decrease of approximately $0.2 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to the alternative energy segment as we have reduced our debt levels from scheduled principal repayments.

We recognized gains of approximately $4,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to losses of approximately $147,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 related to a forward interest rate swap that One Earth entered into during fiscal year 2007. In general, declining interest rates have a negative effect on our interest rate swap and vice versa, as our swap fixed the interest rate of variable rate debt. Should interest rates decline, we would expect to experience losses on the interest rate swap. We would expect to incur gains on the interest rate swap should interest rates increase. We cannot predict the future movements in interest rates; thus, we are unable to predict the likelihood or amounts of future gains or losses related to the interest rate swap.

As a result of the foregoing, income from continuing operations before income taxes was approximately $5.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 versus approximately $1.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Our effective tax rate was 35.4% and 28.9% for the first quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. The fluctuations in the effective tax rate primarily relate to the presentation of noncontrolling interests in the income of consolidated subsidiaries. We do not provide an income tax provision or benefit for noncontrolling interests. The noncontrolling interests in the income of One Earth and NuGen was a higher proportion of consolidated pre-tax income in fiscal year 2012 compared to fiscal year 2013.

As a result of the foregoing, income from continuing operations was approximately $3.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 versus approximately $1.3 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

During fiscal year 2009, we closed our remaining retail store and warehouse operations and reclassified all retail related results as discontinued operations. As a result, we had income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of approximately $109,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately $169,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Gain on sale, net of taxes, of approximately $131,000 was recognized for two properties classified as discontinued operations during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to a loss of approximately $8,000 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Income related to noncontrolling interests was approximately $0.6 million during the first quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, and represents the owners’ (other than us) share of the income of NuGen and One Earth.

As a result of the foregoing, net income attributable to REX common shareholders for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was approximately $3.5 million, an increase of approximately $2.6 million from approximately $0.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Business Segment Results

We have two segments: alternative energy and real estate. The following sections discuss the results of operations for each of our business segments and corporate and other. As discussed in Note 15, our chief operating decision maker (as defined by ASC 280, “Segment Reporting”) evaluates the operating performance of our business segments using a measure we call segment profit. Segment profit includes gains and losses on derivative financial instruments. Segment profit excludes income taxes, indirect interest expense, discontinued operations, indirect interest income and certain other items that are included in net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Management believes these are useful financial measures; however, they should not be construed as being more important than other comparable GAAP measures.

Items excluded from segment profit generally result from decisions made by corporate executives. Financing, divestiture and tax structure decisions are generally made by corporate executives. Excluding these items from our business segment performance measure enables us to evaluate business segment operating performance based upon current economic conditions.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, sales and gross profit by segment (amounts in thousands):

Alternative Energy

The alternative energy segment includes the consolidated financial results of NuGen and One Earth, our equity method investments in ethanol facilities, the income related to those investments and certain administrative expenses. One Earth became fully operational during the third quarter of fiscal year 2009. Effective November 1, 2011, we obtained a controlling financial interest in NuGen. Thus, we began consolidating the results of NuGen prospectively as of the acquisition date. Prior to November 1, 2011, we used the equity method of accounting to account

for the results of NuGen. The following table summarizes sales by product group (amounts in thousands):

The following table summarizes certain operating data:

Segment Results – First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012

Net sales and revenue increased approximately $27.7 million over the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $178.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, primarily a result of higher selling prices for our products in fiscal year 2013. Ethanol sales increased from approximately $117.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $132.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The average selling price per gallon of ethanol increased from $2.14 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to $2.33 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our ethanol sales were based upon approximately 56.7 million gallons in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to 54.8 million gallons in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Dried distillers grains sales increased from approximately $25.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $31.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The average selling price per ton of dried distillers grains increased from $197.82 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to $264.59 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our dried distillers grains sales were based upon approximately 117,000 tons in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately 130,000 tons in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Modified distillers grains sales increased from approximately $4.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $9.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The average selling price per ton of modified distillers grains increased from $95.75 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to

approximately $131.65 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our modified distillers grains sales were based upon approximately 74,000 tons in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately 43,000 tons in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Non-food grade corn oil sales increased from approximately $2.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $4.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The average selling price per pound of non-food grade corn oil decreased from $0.42 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $0.38 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Our non-food grade corn oil sales were based upon approximately 12.1 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately 6.8 million pounds in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. We expect that sales in future periods will be based upon the following (One Earth and NuGen only):

This expectation assumes that One Earth and NuGen will continue to operate at or near capacity, which is dependent upon the crush spread realized.

Gross profit from these sales was approximately $9.0 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately $5.5 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The crush spread for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was approximately $(0.32) per gallon of ethanol sold compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 which was approximately $(0.15) per gallon of ethanol sold. However, an increase of approximately 34% in the price of dried distillers grains and an increase of approximately 37% in the price of modified distillers grains partially offset the decline in the crush spread. Grain accounted for approximately 87.5% ($148.1 million) of our cost of sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately 86.5% ($125.5 million) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Natural gas accounted for approximately 3.9% ($6.6 million) of our cost of sales during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately 4.1% ($5.9 million) during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Given the inherent volatility in ethanol, distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil, grain and natural gas prices, we cannot predict the likelihood that the spread between ethanol, distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and grain prices in future periods will be favorable or consistent compared to historical periods.

We attempt to match quantities of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil sale contracts with an appropriate quantity of grain purchase contracts over a given period of time when we can obtain an adequate margin resulting from the crush spread inherent in the contracts we have executed. However, the market for future ethanol sales contracts is not a mature market. Consequently, we generally execute fixed price contracts for no more than three months into the future at any given time. As a result of the relatively short period of time our contracts cover, we generally cannot predict the future movements in the crush spread for more than three months. Approximately 12% of our forecasted ethanol, approximately 9% of our forecasted distillers grains and approximately 11% of our forecasted non-food grade corn oil production during the next 12 months have been sold under fixed-price contracts. The effect of a 10% adverse change in the price of ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil

from the current pricing would result in a decrease in annual revenues of approximately $56.1 million for the remaining forecasted sales. Similarly, approximately 15% of our estimated corn usage for the next 12 months was subject to fixed-price contracts. The effect of a 10% adverse change in the price of corn from the current pricing would result in an increase in annual cost of goods sold of approximately $44.3 million for the remaining forecasted grain purchases.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $3.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, a $0.9 million increase from approximately $2.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The increase is primarily a result of increases in rail car leases over the prior year. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to remain consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 results in future periods.

Interest expense decreased approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 from the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 to approximately $1.0 million. This decrease was primarily a result of reduced debt levels from scheduled principal repayments.

We recognized income from equity method investments of approximately $1.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately $0.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. We recognized approximately $0.6 million of income from Big River in the first quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012. We recognized approximately $1.0 million of income from Patriot in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to a loss of approximately $0.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. In general, Big River experienced lower sales volume in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 relative to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, which was partially offset by higher selling prices of distillers grains. Patriot benefitted from higher selling prices of distillers grains in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, which is consistent with industry trends. Given the inherent volatility in the factors that affect the crush spread, we cannot predict the likelihood that the trend with respect to income from equity method investments will be comparable in future periods.

Gains on derivative financial instruments held by One Earth were approximately $4,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to losses of approximately $147,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Since the gains or losses on these derivative financial instruments are primarily a function of the movement in interest rates, we cannot predict the likelihood that such gains or losses in future periods will be consistent with current year results.

As a result of the factors discussed above, segment profit increased to approximately $6.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately $2.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Real Estate

The real estate segment includes all owned real estate including those previously used as retail store and distribution center operations, our real estate leasing activities and certain administrative expenses. It excludes results from discontinued operations.

At April 30, 2013, we have lease agreements, as landlord, for six owned former retail stores (77,000 square feet leased). We have 10 owned former retail stores (124,000 square feet) that are vacant

at April 30, 2013. We are marketing these vacant properties for lease or sale. In addition, one owned former distribution center is partially leased (356,000 square feet), partially occupied by our corporate office personnel (10,000 square feet) and partially vacant (111,000 square feet).

Segment Results – First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012

Net sales and revenue of $423,000 increased $81,000 over the prior year amount of $342,000. The increase results primarily from additional space in our distribution center leased subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. We expect lease revenue for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 to be consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 based upon leases currently executed.

Gross profit in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was $71,000 compared to $15,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The increase results primarily from additional space in our distribution center leased subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. We expect gross profit or loss for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 to be insignificant based upon leases currently executed.

As a result of the factors discussed above, the segment profit was $8,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to a segment loss of $60,000 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.

Corporate and Other

Corporate and other includes certain administrative expenses of the corporate headquarters, interest expense and investment income not directly allocated to the alternative energy or real estate segments.

Corporate and Other Results –First Quarter Fiscal Year 2013 Compared to First Quarter Fiscal Year 2012

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $0.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 consistent with the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 to be consistent with the current year first quarter results.

Interest income and interest expense were consistent with the prior year amounts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $8.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to approximately $5.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, cash was provided by net income of approximately $4.1 million, adjusted for non-cash items of approximately $4.5 million, which consisted of depreciation and amortization, income from equity method investments, deferred income and the deferred income tax provision. Dividends received from our equity method investees were approximately $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Accounts receivable used cash of approximately $6.4 million, primarily a result of normal variations in timing, production and sales levels. An increase in accounts payable provided cash of

approximately $2.3 million, which is primarily a result of the timing of vendor shipments of inventory and vendor payments. A decrease in inventory provided cash of approximately $3.7 million, which is primarily a result of normal fluctuations in inventory levels at One Earth.

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $5.0 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, cash was provided by net income of approximately $1.5 million, adjusted for non-cash items of approximately $3.0 million, which consisted of depreciation and amortization, income from equity method investments, deferred income and the deferred income tax provision. Dividends received from our equity method investees were approximately $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Accounts receivable used cash of approximately $2.2 million, primarily a result of normal variations in production and sales levels. Other liabilities used cash of approximately $3.5 million, primarily a result of the payment of incentive compensation that was accrued at year end. A decrease in accounts payable used cash of approximately $1.0 million, which is primarily a result of the timing of vendor shipments of inventory and vendor payments. A decrease in inventory provided cash of approximately $4.7 million, which is primarily a result of normal fluctuations in inventory levels at One Earth.

At April 30, 2013, working capital was approximately $86.7 million compared to approximately $83.5 million at January 31, 2013. The increase is primarily a result of cash provided by operating activities exceeding our financing activities (debt service and treasury stock repurchases). The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 3.6 to 1 at April 30, 2013 and 3.7 to 1 at January 31, 2013.

Cash of approximately $0.1 million was provided by investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, compared to approximately $0.8 million of cash used during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. One Earth and NuGen expect to spend a combined range of approximately $2.0 million to $4.0 million during the remainder of fiscal year 2013 on various capital projects at their plants. We received approximately $0.1 million as proceeds from the sale of one real estate property during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Cash of approximately $0.8 million was used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, we had capital expenditures of approximately $1.7 million, primarily related to improvements at the One Earth ethanol plant. We received approximately $0.5 million as proceeds from the sale of one real estate property during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. We also received approximately $0.4 million as we were able to reduce the amount of our restricted investments on deposit with the state of Florida to secure our extended service plan obligations.

Cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to approximately $7.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Cash was used by debt payments of approximately $4.2 million, primarily on One Earth’s and NuGen’s term loans. We used cash of approximately $0.6 million to purchase approximately 31,000 shares of our common stock in open market transactions. Stock option activity generated cash of approximately $0.6 million.

Cash used in financing activities totaled approximately $7.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. Cash was used by debt payments of approximately $6.8 million, primarily on One Earth’s and NuGen’s term loans. We used cash of approximately $0.5 million to purchase shares from and pay dividends to noncontrolling members of NuGen. Stock option activity generated cash of approximately $0.3 million.

In September 2007, One Earth entered into a $111,000,000 financing agreement consisting of a construction loan agreement for $100,000,000 together with a $10,000,000 revolving loan and a $1,000,000 letter of credit with First National Bank of Omaha. The construction loan was converted into a term loan on July 31, 2009. The term loan bears interest at variable interest rates ranging from LIBOR plus 280 basis points to LIBOR plus 300 basis points (3.1% to 3.3% at April 30, 2013). Beginning with the first quarterly payment on October 8, 2009, payments are due in 19 quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 120 month amortization schedule. One final installment will be required on the maturity date (July 31, 2014) for the remaining unpaid principal balance with accrued interest. We intend to refinance or modify the existing loan agreement prior to its maturity date such that the principal balance due at the maturity date will be financed over a term of up to five years. Principal payments equal to 20% of annual excess cash flows are also due. Such payments cannot exceed $6 million in a year.

This debt is recourse only to One Earth and not to REX American Resources Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. Borrowings are secured by all property of One Earth. As of April 30, 2013, approximately $55.4 million was outstanding on the term loan. One Earth is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement. The specific covenant requirements, descriptions and calculated ratios and amounts at April 30, 2013 are as follows:

Working capital is defined as total current assets (less investments in or other amounts due from any member, manager, employee or any other person or entity related to or affiliated with One Earth) less total current liabilities. At April 30, 2013, working capital was approximately $20.9 million.

For the quarter ended April 30, 2013, capital expenditures were approximately $32,000.

One Earth was in compliance with all covenants, as applicable, at April 30, 2013. On March 13, 2013, One Earth entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with the First National Bank of Omaha. This amendment included:

The fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by dividing adjusted EBITDA (EBITDA less taxes, capital expenditures and distributions paid to members) by scheduled principal and interest payments.

Based on our forecasts, which are primarily based on estimates of plant production, prices of ethanol, corn, distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and natural gas as well as other assumptions management believes to be reasonable, management believes that One Earth will be able to maintain compliance with the covenants pursuant to its loan agreement with the First National Bank of Omaha for the next 12 months. Management also believes that cash flow from operating activities together with working capital will be sufficient to meet One Earth’s liquidity needs. However, if a material adverse change in the financial position of One Earth should occur, or if actual sales or expenses are substantially different than what has been forecasted, One Earth’s liquidity, and ability to fund future operating and capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants, could be negatively impacted.

In November 2011, NuGen entered into a $65,000,000 financing agreement consisting of a term loan agreement for $55,000,000 and a $10,000,000 revolving loan with First National Bank of Omaha. The term loan bears interest at a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 325 basis points, subject to a 4% floor (4% at April 30, 2013). Beginning with the first quarterly payment on February 1, 2012, payments are due in 19 quarterly payments of principal plus accrued interest with the principal portion calculated based on a 120 month amortization schedule. One final installment will be required on the maturity date (October 31, 2016) for the remaining unpaid principal balance with accrued interest. Principal payments equal to 40% of annual excess cash flows are also due. Such payments cannot exceed $5 million in a year.

This debt is recourse only to NuGen and not to REX American Resources Corporation or any of its other subsidiaries. Borrowings are secured by all property of NuGen. As of April 30, 2013, approximately $46.8 million was outstanding on the term loan. NuGen is also subject to certain financial covenants under the loan agreement. The specific covenant requirements, descriptions and calculated ratios and amounts at April 30, 2013 are as follows:

Working capital is defined as total current assets (less investments in or other amounts due from any member, manager, employee or any other person or entity related to or affiliated with NuGen) less total current liabilities. At April 30, 2013, working capital was approximately $16.0 million.

NuGen had no capital expenditures for the quarter ended April 30, 2013.

NuGen was in compliance with all covenants, as applicable, at April 30, 2013. On March 13, 2013, NuGen entered into an amendment of its loan agreement with the First National Bank of Omaha. This amendment included:

Based on our forecasts, which are primarily based on estimates of plant production, prices of ethanol, corn, distillers grains, non-food grade corn oil and natural gas as well as other assumptions management believes to be reasonable, management believes that NuGen will be able to maintain compliance with the covenants pursuant to its loan agreement with the First National Bank of Omaha for the next 12 months. Management also believes that cash flow from operating activities together with working capital will be sufficient to meet NuGen’s liquidity needs. However, if a material adverse change in the financial position of NuGen should occur, or if actual sales or expenses are substantially different than what has been forecasted, NuGen’s liquidity, and ability to fund future operating and capital requirements and compliance with debt covenants, could be negatively impacted.

We believe we have sufficient working capital and credit availability to fund our commitments and to maintain our operations at their current levels for the next twelve months and foreseeable future.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains or may contain forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements can be identified by use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Readers are cautioned that there are risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include the risk factors set forth from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and include among other things: the impact of legislative changes, the price volatility and availability of corn, distillers grains, ethanol, non-food grade corn oil, gasoline, natural gas, ethanol plants operating efficiently and according to forecasts and projections, changes in the national or regional economies, weather, the effects of terrorism or acts of war and changes in real estate market conditions. The Company does not intend to update publicly any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are set forth in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013 (File No. 001-09097).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations associated with interest rates and commodity prices as discussed below.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. Interest rate risk related to interest income is immaterial. Exposure to interest rate risk results primarily from holding term and revolving loans that bear variable interest rates. Specifically, we have approximately $102.2 million outstanding in debt as of April 30, 2013, that is variable-rate. Of this amount, approximately $36.8 million is fixed by an interest rate swap. Interest rates on our variable-rate debt are determined based upon the market interest rate of LIBOR plus 280 to 325 basis points. A 10% adverse change (for example from 3.0% to 3.3%) in market interest rates would increase our interest cost on such debt by approximately $196,000 over the term of the debt. However, this change would be greater should LIBOR rates exceed 0.75%, as the floor interest rate of NuGen’s debt is the greater of 4% or LIBOR plus 325 basis points.

One Earth entered into a forward interest rate swap in the notional amount of $50.0 million with the First National Bank of Omaha during fiscal year 2007. The swap fixed the variable interest rate of a portion of One Earth’s term loan at 7.9%. The swap settlements commenced on July 31, 2009 and terminate on July 8, 2014. A hypothetical 10% change (for example, from 4.0% to 3.6%) in market interest rates at quarter end would change the fair value of the interest rate swap by approximately $0.2 million.

Commodity Price Risk

We manage a portion of our risk with respect to the volatility of commodity prices inherent in the ethanol industry by using forward purchase and sale contracts. At April 30, 2013, One Earth and NuGen combined have purchase commitments for approximately 22.7 million bushels of corn, the principal raw material for their ethanol plants. One Earth and NuGen expect to take delivery of the corn through July 2013. At April 30, 2013, One Earth and NuGen have combined sales commitments for approximately 40.8 million gallons of ethanol, approximately 63,000 tons of distillers grains and approximately 4.3 million pounds of non-food grade corn oil. One Earth and NuGen expect to deliver the ethanol, distillers grains and non-food grade corn oil through July 2013. Approximately 12% of our forecasted ethanol sales during the next 12 months have been sold under fixed-price contracts. As a result, the effect of a 10% adverse move in the price of ethanol from the current pricing would result in a decrease in annual revenues of approximately $41.2 million for the remaining forecasted ethanol sales. Approximately 9% of our forecasted distillers grains sales during the next 12 months have been sold under fixed-price contracts. As a result, the effect of a 10% adverse move in the price of distillers grains from the current pricing would result in a decrease in annual revenues of approximately $13.7 million for the remaining forecasted distillers grains sales. Approximately 11% of our forecasted non-food grade corn oil sales during the next 12 months have been sold under fixed-price contracts. As a result, the effect of a 10% adverse move in the price of non-food grade corn oil from the current pricing would result in a decrease in annual revenues of approximately $1.3 million for the remaining forecasted non-food grade corn oil sales. Similarly, approximately 15% of our estimated corn usage for the

next 12 months was subject to fixed-price contracts. As a result, the effect of a 10% adverse move in the price of corn from the current pricing would result in an increase in annual cost of goods sold of approximately $44.3 million for the remaining forecasted corn usage.
