Form 990, Schedule R, Part V, Line 2d (Transaction Type Q)In 2005, Peoples Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (PTC) purchased six wireless spectrum licenses for the benefit of its wholly owned subsidiary Texas RSA 7B3, Inc. (Wireless) at a cost of $539,400. Although beneficial ownership was immediately transferred to Wireless, bare legal title remained in the name of PTC.In 2012, PTC transferred legal title to the six wireless spectrum licenses to Wireless and recorded the original 2005 purchase on Wireless' books and records. The estimated value of the licenses at the date of transfer was $8.25 million based on the subsequent sale of four of the licenses.
Form 990, Schedule R, Part V, Line 2d (Transaction Type A-P)The method used by Peoples Telephone Cooperative, Inc. to determine the value of the services, cash, and other assets reported in column (c): Peoples Telephone Cooperative, Inc. (PTC) operates in a regulated environment, and as such, is required to record transactions with related organizations according to Part 32.27 of Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Under these regulations, assets sold or transferred between the taxpayer and its affiliate pursuant to a tariff, including a tariff filed with a state commission, are valued at the tariffed rate. If no tariff exists, the transaction is valued at prevailing rates charged by the taxpayer to non-affiliate entities, as long as over 25% of the total output for that type of asset or service is with non-affiliates. All other sales (or transfers) of assets or services to nonregulated affiliates are valued at the greater of net book cost or fair market value. Purchases (or transfers) of assets or services from nonregulated affiliates are valued at the lower of net book cost or fair market value. The only exception to the above, is if PTC purchases from its affiliate services that are neither tariffed nor subject to prevailing company prices and such affiliate exists solely to provide services to members of PTC's corporate family, such services are valued at fully distributed cost.Fair market value is determined by PTC's geographical location and transactions with non-related entities.
Form 990, Part XII, Line 2cThe entire board of directors of Peoples Telephone Cooperative, Inc. assumes responsibility for oversight of the audit of its financial statements and selection of an independent accountant.
