Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies-Organization Dairyland Power Cooperative (the Cooperatiw) is an electric generation and transmission cooperative association organized under the laws of Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Cooperative's principal ollices are located in Wisconsin. The Omperative provides wholesale electric service to Class A members engaged in the retail sale of electricity to member consumers located in Wisconsin, Minnesota. Iowa, Illinois and Michigan and provides electric and of her services to Class C. D and E members.

                   . The accounting records of the Cooperattw are maintained in accordance with the uniform systern of accounts prescribed by 1 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission u adopted by the Rural Electrification Administration (REA), the Cooperatiw's principal regulatory agency.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Cooperatim and its wholly owned subsidiary, Curt!s

 ,             Tek communications. Inc. (CTI). All intercompany balances and transactions between the Cooperative and CTl have been                                                                                                             ,
i ' . eliminated. -

Deprt clation: Depreciation is provided based on the straight-line method at rates which are designed to amortize the original cost of properties over their estimated useful lives and includes a provision for the cost of removal and decommissioning of the properties. The provision for depreciation averaged 3Rt of depreciable plant balances for 1988 and 1987. Income Taxes: The Cooperative is exempt from federal and state income taxes and, accordingly, no provision for such taxes is reflected in

              - the consolidated fmancial statements.

Allowance forFunds Used During Construction: Allowance for funds used during construction represents the cost of external and internal funds used for construction purposes and is capitalized as a component of ek'etric plant. The amount of such allowance is determined by applying a rate to certain ch ctric plant additions under construction. The rates used varied from 7.I'% to 8.5't in 1988 and from 7.0't to 8.I'% in 1987, depending on the source of funds. Pmperty Additions:

                     . The cost of renewals and betterments of units of pmperty (as distinguished from minor items of property) is charged to ekictric phmt accounts. The cost of units of property retired, sold or otherwise disposed of, phis removal costs, less sahage, is charged to accumulated depreciation. No profit or loss is recognized in connection with ordinary retirements of property units.

Maintenance and repair costs and replacement and renewal of minor items of property are charged to operating expenses. Investments: Investments consist primarily of commercial paper and government obligations. All investments are recorded at the lower of aggregate cost or quoted market value. The carrying value of the investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Supplemental Cash Flow Information During 1988, the Cooperatlw paid interest of $21,059,000. Reclassificathms: Certain 1987 anmunts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1988 presemation. These reclassifications haw no effect on previously reported net margin or patronage capital.

L Long-term olnigations to the REA are payable in equal quarterly principal and intwest installments through 2015. Principal  ; repayments on the long-term obligation to the Federal Financing Ilank (FF3) extend through 2021. Principal and interest i payments on the National Rural Utilities C<mperative Finance Corporation (NRUCPC) obligations are payable quarterly through .' ; 1999. The fixed rate Pollution Control Ikands are payable in increa.*ing annual amounts through 2008. . l The acUustable rate Pollution Control and Industrial Development Revenue Ilonds mature in 2015 unless previously called  ! for redemption. Ilank letters of credit aggregating $19,000,000 which terminate in February 1991 have i een issued on behalf of the Cooperative to the trustee to provide funds for, payment of principal of any such lxmds to be redeemed or repurchased prior , to that date. Accordingly, the entire principal amount of these bonds is classified as long-term obligations.  ! Substantially all of the Cooperative's assets are pledged as collateral for these obligations. The Cooperative is requ! red to and ' has maintained certain financial ratios related to earnings and liquidity in accordance witn the covenants of its loan agreements.

Ilorrowings are at a rate no greater than prime plus 1% and were not significant in either 1988 or 1987. Compensating balance requirements or fees relatieg to the lines of credit are not significant. While the lines of credit expire  ; in May 1989, the Cooperative believes it will renew then. l The Cooperative also allows member cooperatives to prepay their power bills and pays interest on these prepayments based on current short term borrowing rates. Interest expense on member cooperative advances ($1,008,000 in 1988 and $877,000 in l 1987) has been included in interest expense while interest income carned by the Cooperative on prepayments ($1,077,000 in i 1988 and $881.000 in 1987) is reflected as nonoperating margin.  ! (4) Retimment of Capital Cmdits- l The Cooperative board of dirretors has adopted a policy of retirire capital credits allocated to members on a "first-in, first- l out" basis so that at all times the Cooperative will n(st retain as patronagespital any capital contributed or deposited more , tban 20 years prior to theecurrent yean Accordingly,the 1968 and 1967 capital credits were retired in 1988 and 1987,  ! respectively. Implementation of this policy is subject to annual review and approval by the board of directors and the REA, and l no cash retirements are to be made . hich would impair the financial condition of the Cooperative or violate any terms of its l agreements. (5) Shand Transmisshm Agreements-  ; The Cooperative has entered into shared. transmission agreements with the Southern Minnesota Municipal Power Agency ,j (SMMPA) and the Western Wisconsin Municipal Power Group (W%NPG) which provide SMMpA and WWMPG use of the  ! Cooperatiw-owned transmission system to deliwr power and energy requirements to SMMPA and WWMPG members in the l Cooperatiwk electric service area for a perhid of 50 years. Payments received from SMMPA and WWMPG for use of the ( Cooperative transmission system are reflected as deferred credits and are being amortized to operations over the terms of the related agreements. The Cooperative may be entitled to further payments cepending on the investment in, and joint use of, the I system. (6) Commitments and Contingencies-The Cooperative has been named a defendant in several lawsuits and claims, primarily related to construction and operation ofits electric plant. Although the outcome of1hese matters cannot be determined at the present time, mamagement and legal counsel believe these actions can be successfully defended or resolwd without a material efTect on Ihe financial  ! position of the Cooperative. (7) Construction-  ; The Cooperative % 1989 estimated construction program is $28 million. Financing of construction is expected to be provided by borrowings from the FW and funds generated internally. (8) Pension Plan-Pension benefits for substantially all employees are provided through par *icipation in the National Rural Electric > Cooperative Association (NRECA) Retirement and Security Program. C<mtributions are determined in accordance with the provisions of the program and are based on salaries, as defined, of each participant. NRECA declared a moratorium on plan contributions effectiw July 1.1987 through December 31,1989, and accordingly, pension expense was reduced or substantially i eliminated in 1987 and 1988. As of December 31.1985, the date of the last available actuarial valuation, net asets of the plan exceeded the actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits. Effective January 1,1986, the Cooperative adopted an amendment to the pension plan which reduced the normal retirement age from 05 to 62. This amendment resulted in the creation of a liability for unfunded prior service cost of $2,407,000, the unpaid portion of which is included in deferred credits. A deferred charge of the same amount was recorded to reflect the j expected recovery ofIhis amount from future customers. During 1988, the Cooperatiwh board r,f directors passed a reso!ution prewnting the Cooperative from affecting service rates charged Io members to recowr the unfunded prior service cost. Accordingly, $2.289.000 was charged to ex pense as an other dedoction in 1988 to reflect Ihe elimination of this defers ed charge. 23 '. ' ,

    ,   . (9) Fiber Optics Venture-The Cooperative's wholly owned subsidiary, C'll, owns a 31 frt partnership interest in Norlight, a venture with three other partners to own and operate a Dber optics network in the Upper Mit west.

Prior to 1987, losses incurred by Crl (principally due to recognit, m of its proportionate share of NorLight losses) and payments receked by the Cooperative from NorLight for use of the Cooperative's right-of way were deferred based on a board of directors' resolution to allow recovery of such deferrals through future service rates. As a reault of a resolution adopted by its members during 1987 which effectively prohibits future service rate increases as a result of losses of CTI, the Cooperative ceased the policy of deferring CTI losses and charged all previously deferred amounts to expense. In addition, in recognition of developments in the fiber optics industry, the carrying value of Crfs investment in NorLight was reduced to reflect Crrs proportionate interest in the estimated current value of the NorLight venture. The effect of the above actions was to reduce 1987 margins by $5B million. During 1988, Crl made additional capital contributions to NorLight of $1000,000 and purchased an additional 8.Pt interest in NorLight from a former partner for $84,tKK). Crrs share of NorLight losses for 1988 was approximately $1,063fX)0. During 1087, CTI made capital contributions to NorLight of $2.250,000. In November 1987, Crt assigned its interest in NorLight to a bank as collateral securing NorLight's financing. Based upon information currently available, the Cooperative expects to continue its involvement in the NorLight "enture and to be able to recover the carrying value of its investment either through operations of NorLight or divestiture of its ownership interest. (10) Nuclear Reactor. The La Crosse lloiling Water Nuclear Reactor (IACHWit) was voluntarily remowd fron service by the Cooperatiw effectiw April 30,1987. The intent was to termmate operation of the reactor and a ' possession ciliy" heense was obtained from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in August 1987. '!he facility is being phaced in a " safe storage" status and will remain so until the year 2010 to 2M 4 at which time decommissioning will be completed. All LACHWR-related property, construction work-in-

        ' progress,. inventories and nuclear fuel totaling $18.4 million was transferred to a deferred charge in 1987 and is being amortized to operating expense over n ten-year period ending in 1997 with appropriate recognition in rates charged to members for electric service.

The provision for depreciation includes $2.1 millbn in 1988 and $1.8 million in 1987 to provide for the estimated costs of decommissioning the nuclear generating facility; however, the manner of decomraicioning the facility has net been determined. The Cooperative continues to review its decommissioning cost estimates and exp* cts that any increases in such costs will be recovered through futurc rates. The Cooperatlw has adopted a policy of fundmg decommissioning costs currently and the related investments are included in investments in the consolidated balance sheets, while the decommissioning reserve of $11.5 million is included in accumulated depreciation Report ofIndependent Public Accountants To the Members and the Board of Directors, Dairvland Pow er Cooperative: We have audited t he accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DAIRYLAND POWER COOPERATIVE (a Wisconsin cooperative) AND Sl'HSIDIARY as of December 31,1988 and 1987, and the related consolidated statements of revenues, expenses and patronage capital and cash flows for the years then ended.

Those standards recluire that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free ut n:aterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosure in t he financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating Ihe overall financial statement presentation. We believe t hat our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,in all u,: terial respects, the financial positior, of Dairyland Power Cooperative and Subsidialy as of December 31, 1988 and 1987, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
