Part IV, Line 2b:The members of the Cooperative can elect to round up their monthly electric bill to the next dollar. These funds collected from the membership are held in a Cooperative account until they are released to the McKenzie Electric Operation Roundup, Inc. These funds are transferred directly to the Operation Round Up on a monthly basis. Funds that exist at the end of year are a result of a timing difference in the receipt of the funds and the release of them to the Operation Round Up. For the year ended December 31, 2012 the account held $1,069.
Part X, Line 2:The Cooperative is exempt from income taxes. The Cooperative complies with the provisions of Accounting and Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10. As of December 31, 2012, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero. The Cooperative will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if such penalties and interest are incurred. Under normal circumstances, the Cooperative is no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2009 and state examinations for years before 2009. The Cooperative undergoes an annual analysis of various tax positions, assessing the likelihood of those positions being upheld upon examination with relevant tax authorities, as defined by ASC 740-10.Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:
