Dear Grace,
RE: Broadband Investment Tax Credit - Midvale Telephone Exchange for years 2006 - 2007.
I have attached our filing for the Broadband Investment Tax Credit for 2006 and 2007. We have
invested a total of $277,466 for the year ended December 31,2006, and $634,226 for the year ended
December 31,2007. i have attached a detailed report of our investments. These asses were
operational in 2006 and 2007 respectfully.
Please let me know if you have any questions relating to the information I have submitted.
You recently directed me to the Idaho Statutes to research the time limit on making a request for
broadband credits. I could not find any clause that addressed a time limit. If there is indeed one, and
we have surpassed that limit, please let me know.
Sincerely,/k~
Ann E. Sharp
