Return ReferencePart IV, Line 2b:ReturnReference
ExplanationThe 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 PKM Electric Cooperative Trust's Operation Round-up program. 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, 2011 the account held $1,307.Explanation

Any person, firm, corporation or body politic may become a member by: (a) paying the par value for one share of stock; (b) agreeing to purchase electric energy from the Cooperative; (c) agreeing to comply with and be bound by the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aEvery member has one voting right at the annual meeting to vote on the selection of officers.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bEach member has one voting right on the approval of changes to the organization documents at the annual meeting. The sale, lease or exchange of all of the Cooperative's property, rights, privileges and franchises must be approved by 2/3 vote of the members.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bThere are no committees that can act on behalf of the governing board. All committees make only recommendations to the governing board, which then makes the final approval.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The Assistant Manager, Mike Schmidt, will review the final Form 990. The Form 990 will be provided to the board for review electronically prior to the board meeting. The Assistant Manager will also present the Form 990 to the Manager, Charles Riesen, and the full governing board at a board meeting.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cThe conflict of interest policy, which covers the Board of Directors and officers of the Cooperative, is discussed at a board meeting. The Manager and Assistant Manager review any conflicts that need to be disclosed. If a conflict arises, it is brought to the board's attention and the individual with the conflict abstains from voting on that issue.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15aThe board members, who are independent, review and approve the compensation of the Manager by using comparability data only. The approval is recorded in the board minutes. The board members also approve their own adjustments to their compensation based on comparability data only. All other paid employees' compensation is reviewed and approved by the Manager. This process was started in September and approved in October of 2011.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The governing documents, conflict of interest policy and financial statements are available to the public upon request. The financial statements are available in the monthly newsletter, and every member is given a copy of the governing documents when they become members.
Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Column (F)Included in column "F", estimated amount of other compensation, is the estimated annual increase in the actuarial value of the defined benefit plan. The estimated increase for Charles Riesen is $35,468 and for Mike Schmidt is $44,982. These amounts are estimates in the increase of the value of the plan and are not current year expenses of the cooperative. The current year expense for this defined benefit plan was $34,956 and $27,226, respectively.
Form 990, Part IX, Statement of Functional Expenses, Line 24eThe labor, pension and payroll taxes reported on lines 5-10 are already included in distribution expense, administrative and general expense and customer expense. Therefore these amounts are being subtracted out as an other deduction on line 24e in the amount of $(1,725,688).
Form 990, Part XI, line 5:Retirement of Capital Credits -14,648. Less Equity Income From LLC's-Book 222,360. Tax Income From K-1(s) -155,369. Total to Form 990, Part XI, Line 5: 52,343.Changes in Net Assets or Fund Balances:
