        <ExplanationTxt>THE COOPERATIVE'S TAX EXEMPT PURPOSE IS TO PROVIDE ELECTRICITY AND WATER DISTRIBUTION SERVICES ON A DIVISIONAL BASIS TO ITS PATRONS AND TO DO SO ON A COOPERATIVE BASIS FOR EACH DIVISION. TAX LAW DEFINES "OPERATING ON A COOPERATIVE BASIS" AS 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 ALLOCATIONS OF PATRONAGE CAPITAL) TO ITS PATRONS. PATRONAGE DIVIDENDS ARE CONSIDERED PAID IF THE ALLOCATION IS MADE (1) PURSUANT TO A PRE-EXISTING OBLIGATION, (2) FROM THE MARGINS PRODUCED FROM THE TRANSACTIONS DONE WITH OR FOR PATRONS, AND (3) IN A FAIR AND EQUITABLE MANNER 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. EACH ONE OF THESE REQUIREMENTS FOR A TRUE PATRONAGE DIVIDEND IS PROVIDED FOR IN THE NON-PROFIT OPERATION ARTICLE OF THE COOPERATIVE'S BYLAWS. THE ELECTRIC AND WATER DIVISIONS INCURRED LOSSES FOR 2023, BUT HAD A SMALL NET INCOME FOR 2024. PURSUANT TO COOPERATIVE TAX LAW AND THE OPERATION AT COST PRINCIPLE, THE MARGINS ARE OFFSETTING PRIOR YEAR MARGINS FROM THE DIVISIONS BEFORE PATRONAGE CAPITAL IS ALLOCATED TO THE PATRONS.</ExplanationTxt>
