In out opinion, SFAS No. 71 is not apphcable to the Cooperative for 1987 inasmuch as the required relationship between its revenues from ratc; charged to its taembers and non members and its costs did not exist. The outcome of the debt restructure negotia-tions could result in the Cooperative beine able to adort the accounting princirles of SFAS No. 71 in the future.
llowever, certain 1987 transactions were accounted for as though SFAS No. 71 did arrly, namely, the deferral of
$10 million of interest expense on its exceu coal notes payaNe anJ the cessation of amorti:ation of 515 milhon of deferred excess coal charges.
