(A)         General.    The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) and estimates necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, the results for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Examples of estimates used include those related to our asset retirement obligations and revenue recognition. Estimates for our asset retirement obligations include items such as closure and post-closure cost estimates, timing of expenditures, escalation factors and discount rates. Estimates for revenue recognition include items such as determining the nature and timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, determining the standalone selling price of performance obligations and variable consideration. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.

Pursuant to our adoption of Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), we adjusted sales to members for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 in our Consolidated Statements of Revenues and Expenses to reflect a $5.8 million refund liability. The refund liability represents the adjustment to our revenue that we assessed as of June 30, 2017, that would have been required to meet our 2017 annual revenue requirement.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. As noted in our 2017 Form 10-K, our revenues consist primarily of sales to our 38 electric distribution cooperative members and, thus, the receivables on the consolidated balance sheets are principally from our members. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in our 2017 Form 10-K.
