Part X, Line 2:Management has evaluated the Corporation's tax positions and concluded that the Corporation has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustments to the financial statements. While the Corporation believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be different than the positions taken by the Corporation. The Corporation recognizes any interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities in income tax expense and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to federal, stated, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015.

Therefore, the amount listed in Part IX, Line 4 represents the net margins assignable to the members for the calendar year ended December 31, 2018. For 2017 the Cooperative used the margins retired rather than the margins assigned.
