        <Explanation>DURING NGEMC'S FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2011, THE CORPORATION INCURRED SUBSTANTIAL TORNADO DAMAGE. THE CORPORATION RECEIVED A FEMA DISASTER ASSISTANCE GRANT TO SUBSIDIZE THEIR REPAIR COSTS. THIS GRANT IS GIVEN ON A REIMBURSEMENT BASIS AND FEMA HAS NOT FINISHED THEIR AUDIT TO FINALIZE THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF THE GRANT. NGEMC HAS BOOKED AN ESTIMATE OF $1,825,669 AS A RECEIVABLE. DUE TO RURAL UTILITY SERVICE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR GRANTS, THE $1,825,669 IS SEEN AS A REIMBURSEMENT FOR EXPENSES AND THE GRANT INCOME IS REPORTED AS AN OFFSETTING AMOUNT TO EXPENSES INCURRED RELATING TO THE DISASTER. THE SURPLUS OF GRANT INCOME OVER EXPENSES INCURRED IS REPORTED IN CONSTRUCTION WIP AS AN OFFSETTING AMOUNT TO CAPITAL EXPENDITURES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE TORNADO. THEREFORE, FOR 990 REPORTING PURPOSES, WE HAVE INCLUDED $1,825,669 AS GOVERNMENT GRANT INCOME AND -$1,825,669 AS MISCELLANEOUS INCOME.</Explanation>
