Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:The Cooperative is exempt from income taxes under Section 501 (c) (12) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Cooperative has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic ASC 740-10. Implementation resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The Cooperative had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. 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 and State tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008. The Cooperative undergoes an annual analysis of its various tax positions, assessing the likelihood of those positions being upheld upon examination with relevant tax authorities, as defined by ASC 740-10.

Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6There is one class of members which all have the same voting rights.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7aMembers vote for all open positions in all districts that are up for election that year.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7bChanges to bylaws or articles of incorporation must be approved by members of the Cooperative.
Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 8bThere are no committees that have authority to act on behalf of the governing body.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11The General Manager and Accountant reviewed a draft of the Form 990. The Form 990 was presented at a board meeting.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12cDirectors and management must annually complete a form to disclose any conflicts they might have. The President of the Board reviews the disclosures. For each instance disclosed, the President has discretion to take no action, assure full disclosure to the full board and management, ask the person to recuse him or herself from discussions or decisions relating to the conflict or ask the person to resign. The General Manager monitors proposed or ongoing conflicts and discloses them to the Board President.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15The Board annually uses a salary survey made available through the North Dakota Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives. The salary deliberation is documented in the minutes. The Board votes on the compensation. This process was last undertaken in September 2011. Compensation for the Business Manager is determined based on Business Manager salaries at other cooperatives across North Dakota, taking into account the results of the ND Association of REC's Wage and Salary Survey. In addition, the Business Manager's years of service to the Cooperative are considered. This process was last undertaken in October 2011. The Board approves all wages. For non-union employees the General Manager makes a recommendation, and the Board votes to approve. For union members, the union negotiates directly with the Board and the General Manager. When an agreement is reached the Board will formally approve the new wage scale. This process was last undertaken in 2011.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19The governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request.
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 Wayne Martian is $111,645, for Dennis Nickelson is $9,800, and for Lori Opdahl is $2,526. These amounts are estimates in the increase of the value of the plan and are not current year expenses of the Cooperative.

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 & general expense and customer expense. Therefore, these amounts are being subtracted out as an other deduction on line 24e in the amount of $(2,841,227).Allocated Costs
Form 990, Part IX, Line 4: The Cooperative has interpreted the instructions to Part IX, Line 4, to mean patronage capital allocated for the year, rather than patronage capital retired. This is consistent with the Bylaws of the Cooperative.
