Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds:Part V, Line 4:The Cooperative collects funds for the Operation Round Up program for the Mountrail Cooperative Trust and the Williams Cooperative Trust from the members. These funds are recorded as a liability on the Cooperative financials until they are released to the Trust on a quarterly basis. Mountrail Cooperative Trust receives 45% of the funds, while Williams Cooperative Trust receives 55% of the funds. The amount in the financial statements at December 31, 2010 was $6,888.
Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:Part X:The Cooperative is exempt from income taxes under Section 501 (c) (12) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Cooperative has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic ASC 740-10 (previously Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), effective January 1, 2009. Implementation resulted in no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The Cooperative had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Cooperative will recognize future accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense if such penalties and interest are incurred. Under normal circumstances, the Cooperative is no longer subject to Federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2006 and state examinations for years before 2006. The Cooperative undergoes an annual analysis of its various tax positions, assessing the likelihood of those positions being upheld upon examination with relevant tax authorities, as defined by ASC 740-10.
