Schedule D, Part X, Line 2Footnote to Financial Statements Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative, Inc. (EMEC). The Cooperative is a nonprofit organization and is exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(12) as long as 85% or more of its gross income consists of amounts applicable to members for the sole purpose of meeting operating costs and expenses, and the Cooperative does not engage in business not related to its exemption. The Cooperative follows accounting guidance for uncertainty in income taxes which is part of ASC740, Income Taxes. The guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial state recognition of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.
Schedule D, Part XII, Line 4bPayments to Patronage Capital Allocation. For the audited financial statement, the amount of patronage dividends paid or allocated to the members is reported as an increase in equity and not as an expense. Therefore, net income per the audited financial statements is reported gross of the amount of patronage dividends that are either allocated or to be allocated at the time the audited financial statements are prepared. However, because the allocation of patronage dividends is one aspect of how the Cooperative fulfills its tax-exempt purpose of operating on a cooperative basis, the amount of the patronage dividends either allocated or to be allocated to the members is reported on Form 990, Part IX, line 4 as "benefits paid to members." Patronage dividends are allocated on a patronage basis and done so pursuant to the Cooperative's bylaws.

Form 990, Part IX, Line 4The Cooperative's tax-exempt purpose is to provide electricity to its members and to do so, on a cooperative basis. Tax law defines "Operating on a cooperative basis" as the subordination of capital, democratic control, and operation at cost. The Cooperative operates at cost through the allocation of true patronage dividends (also referred to as the allocation of patronage capital) to its members. Patronage dividends are considered paid if the allocation is made (1) pursuant to pre-existing obligation, (2) from margins produced from the transaction done with or for members, and (3) in a fair and equitable basis on the basis of patronage (i.e. purchases). Additionally, the allocation of patronage dividends should be made within a reasonable time period after the close of the Cooperative's year-end of December 31. The amount reported on this line represents the amount of patronage capital that is either allocated or to be allocated to the members resulting from their purchase of electric service from the Cooperative for the 2022 calendar year. Such amounts are allocated subsequent to the year-end in a fair and equitable manner on the basis of patronage (i.e. purchases). The amounts allocated are representative of the margins from the provision of electric service to members and are done pursuant to the obligation that exists in the bylaws of the Cooperative. Therefore, these amounts meet the definition of the term "Patronage dividends paid." Patronage Dividends to be allocated are reported on line 4. Please note; however, that because patronage dividends is the process by which the Cooperative operates at cost with its members and thereby a key component to accomplishing its exempt purpose, the cooperative has reported the amount it's 2022 margin that has been or is to be allocated to the members subsequent to year-end. Such amounts are an expense for Form 990 reporting and not an expense for financial statements prepared in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). As a result, the difference between the Cooperative's GAAP basis financial statement and the revenue less expense reported on Part 1, line 19 is the amount of the patronage dividends reported as benefits paid to members.

The amount of patronage capital that is either allocated or to be allocated to the members resulting from their purchase of electricity from the Cooperative for the 2022 calendar year. Such amounts are allocated subsequent to year-end in a fair and equitable manner on the basis of patronage (i.e. purchases). The amounts allocated are representative of the margins from the provision of electric energy to the members and are done pursuant to the obligation that existed in the bylaws prior to the cooperative providing electricity to members. Therefore, these amounts meet the definition of the term "Patronage dividends paid."
