General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2017, our consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.  The consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of Old Dominion Electric Cooperative and TEC.  We are a not-for-profit wholesale power supply cooperative, incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1948.  We have two classes of members.  Our Class A members are eleven customer-owned electric distribution cooperatives engaged in the retail sale of power to member customers located in Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland.  Our sole Class B member is TEC, a taxable corporation owned by our member distribution cooperatives.  Our board of directors is composed of two representatives from each of the member distribution cooperatives and one representative from TEC.  In accordance with Consolidation Accounting, TEC is considered a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary.  We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation.  The assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest of TEC are recorded at carrying value and the consolidated assets were $5.7 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.  The income taxes reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Patronage Capital relate to the tax provision for TEC.  As TEC is wholly-owned by our Class A members, its equity is presented as a non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements.

Our rates are set periodically by a formula that was accepted for filing by FERC, but are not regulated by the respective public service commissions of the states in which our member distribution cooperatives operate. See Note 5—Other—FERC Proceeding Related to Formula Rate below.

We comply with the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by FERC.  In conformity with GAAP, the accounting policies and practices applied by us in the determination of rates are also employed for financial reporting purposes.

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

We do not have any other comprehensive income for the periods presented.
