| Return Reference | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Form 990, Part IV, Line 12a | Capital Electric receives an annual audit by an independent accounting firm (Brady Martz & Associates ) that covers an audit year of January through December. However, because our audit results are not available by a board meeting that precede the due date of this return, we cannot complete the reconciliation of revenue per Audited Financial Statements and thus, answered no to this question. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6 | Capital Electric is a Cooperative owned by its members. The Cooperative members elect the Board of Directors. Members also approve significant decisions such as bylaw changes; have the ability to reinstate expelled board members; call special meetings; remove a director; as well as have final vote whether the Cooperative should sell, lease, or dispose of a substantial amount of the Cooperative's property. |

Members also approve significant decisions such as bylaw changes; have the ability to reinstate expelled board members; call special meetings; remove a director; as well as have final vote whether the Cooperative should sell, lease, or dispose of a substantial amount of the Cooperative's property. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 7b | Capital Electric is a Cooperative owned by its members. The Cooperative members elect the Board of Directors. Members also approve significant decisions such as bylaw changes; have the ability to reinstate expelled board members; call special meetings; remove a director; as well as have final vote whether the Cooperative should sell, lease, or dispose of a substantial amount of the Cooperative's property. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b | A copy of the IRS Form 990 and all required schedules are disseminated to and reviewed by each Board member. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c | Capital Electric monitors and enforces compliance with its conflict of interest policy by having each director, key employee, and highly compensated employee complete an annual questionnaire (as provided by NRECA) that involves conflict of interest questions. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 15 | Comparability data is used by the Board of Directors to deliberate in an executive session and make decisions regarding compensation. This process is done annually and was last done in 2018. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 | Upon becoming a member, a person/organization receives a copy of Capital Electric's bylaws. Each year, in June, an annual meeting is held for all members. Summarized financials are included in the annual meeting booklet (mailed to each member prior to the annual meeting) and the audited financial statement information is presented by the independent auditor at the meeting. Otherwise, governing documents, the conflict of interest policy, and financial statements can be reviewed with a member upon request. |
| Form 990, Part VII, Section A, Line 1a | Column F, Other Compensation is constituted of employer paid benefits such as medical, long term disability, life insurance, employer paid 401K and an employer paid defined benefit plan. The value reflected for other compensation as it relates to the defined benefit plan is based on the change in actuarial value and not on the actual employer contribution. |
| Form 990, Part X, Line 30 | Because the directions for the IRS Form 990 changes in 2011 by clarifying that patronage dividends paid by section 501(c)(12) organizations to their members should be reported online 4 of part IX; and our interpretation of "patronage dividends paid by section 501(c)(12) organizations to their member" is referring to patronage allocations related to the year being reported; and accordingly are now to be shown as an expense and therefore no longer GAAP accounting: The balances for end of year (column B) reflect the new directions and accordingly the 2018 patronage allocation is shown as a liability at year end. |
| Form 990, Part XI, Line 4 | Capital Electric has adopted the provisions of FASB Account Standards Codification Topic ASC 740-10 (Previously Financial Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes), on January 1, 2009. The implementation of this standard has no impact on the financial statements. As both the date of adoption, and as of December 31, 2018, the unrecognized tax benefit accrual was zero. Capital Electric is no longer subject to federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008 and state examinations for years before 2008. Capital Electric undergoes an annual analysis of the various tax positions, assessing the likelihood of those positions being upheld upon examination with relevant tax authorities as defined by ASC 740-10. |
| Form 990, Part XI, Line 9 | As a Cooperative, Capital Electric paid out capital credits to its current and former members in 2018 including: $1,951,619.64 in general retirements, $132,765.99 in estate retirements (calculated using pre-discount amount of $132,765.99 offset by discounts of $30,431.57) and other miscellaneous net payments and adjustments. Furthermore, to reconcile to net assets, the capital credits of $4,829,471.03 from 2018 margins allocated in April, 2019 but reflected as "benefits paid to or for members" on the 2018 IRS Form 990 for tax purposes, are added back in to equity to reconcile the timing of accrual versus tax accounting. |
