Business Description

REX was incorporated in Delaware in 1984 as a holding company to succeed to the entire ownership of three affiliated corporations, Rex Radio and Television, Inc., Stereo Town, Inc. and Kelly & Cohen Appliances, Inc., which were formed in 1980, 1981 and 1983, respectively. Historically, it is a specialty retailer in the consumer electronics and appliance industry serving small to medium-sized towns and communities. In addition, it has been an investor in various alternative energy entities beginning with synthetic fuel partnerships in 1998 and later ethanol production facilities beginning in 2006. At January 31, 2012, it had lease agreements, as landlord, for six owned former retail stores and had 16 vacant former retail properties. It also owns one former distribution center that is partially leased, partially occupied by its corporate office personnel and partially vacant. It is marketing these vacant properties to lease or sell. It is currently invested in five ethanol production entities, two of which it has a majority ownership interest in. It may make additional investments in the alternative energy segment during fiscal year 2012.The Company's ethanol operations are highly dependent on commodity prices, especially prices for corn, ethanol, distillers grains, corn oil and natural gas. It faces significant competition for new ethanol investment opportunities. There are varied enterprises seeking to participate in the ethanol industry.
