reserve account, and in which no persons other than members own capital stock. In
an internal capital account cooperative, each member shall have only one vote in any
matter requiring voting by stockholders.

members in accordance with patronage by appropriately crediting or debiting the internal
capital accounts of members. The collective reserve account in an internal capital
account cooperative shall reflect any paid-in capital, net losses and retained earnings
not allocated to individual members.
