Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:The Cooperative is exempt from income taxes. The Cooperative has adopted the provisions of Accounting and Standards Codification (ASC) 740-10(previously Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), on January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard had no impact on the financial statements. As both the date of adoption, and as of December 31, 2010, 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 2007 and state examinations for years before 2007. 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.
