| a) | During the second quarter of 2011, the Company fully reserved $1,685,000 in cooperative allocated surplus it had recorded based on its patronage allocation with Farm Credit.
As an agricultural credit cooperative, Farm Credit is owned by the member-borrowers who purchase stock and earn participation certificates which represent each members-borrowers respective share of the allocated surplus in the cooperative. Allocations of the surplus are made to members on an annual basis according to the proportionate amount of interest paid by each member. Allocations are made in cash and non-cash participation certificates. Farm Credit announced in 2011 the indefinite suspension of any future distributions of members' allocated surplus; therefore, the Company determined that the entire amount was uncollectible as no future revolvement plan has been established. The full reserve of $1,685,000 is included in interest and investment income, net, in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2011.
