DEPRECIATION STUDY

CALCULATED ANNUAL DEPRECIATION ACCRUALSRELATED TO ELECTRIC PLANT

AT DECEMBER 31, 2001

PART I. INTRODUCTION

PLAN OF REPORT

This report sets forth the results of the depreciation study for Newfoundland Power

Inc., to determine the annual depreciation accrual rates and amounts for book purposes

applicable to the original cost of electric plant at December 31, 2001. Part I Introduction,

contains statements with respect to the plan of the report, the basis of the study, the study

and a brief summary of the study results. Part II Methods Used in the Estimation of

Depreciation, presents the methods used in the estimation of average service lives,

survivor curves and salvage and in the calculation of depreciation. Part III Results of

Study, presents summaries by depreciable group of annual and accrued depreciation. The

statistical analyses of service live and net salvage and the detailed tabulations of annual

and accrued depreciation are set forth in a separately bound volume "Appendices to

Depreciation Study."

BASIS OF THE STUDY

For most accounts, the annual and accrued depreciation were calculated by the

straight line method using the equal life group procedure. For certain General and

Communication Plant accounts, the annual and accrued depreciation are based on

amortization accounting. Both types of calculations were based on original cost, attained

ages, and estimates of service lives and salvage. Variances between the calculated

Page 8: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

I-3

accrued depreciation or amortization and the book accumulated depreciation which exceed

five percent of the calculated accrued depreciation are amortized over the composite

remaining life of the assets. Accounts for which the composite remaining lives are less

than five years, the amortization period used to minimize the reserve variance was set at

five years which is the period of time between depreciation studies. This was done to

reduce the annual fluctuations to depreciation expense related to the reserve variance

amortizations for accounts with short composite remaining lives.

The straight line equal life group method has been used by the Company for a

number of years and we recommend its continued use. The equal life group procedure

provides for a better match of depreciation expense and loss in service value than the

average service life procedure.

Amortization accounting for certain General and Communication accounts was

approved in 1996 by Newfoundland and Labrador Board of Commissioners of Public

Utilities (“Board”). Amortization accounting for these accounts is appropriate because of

the disproportionate plant accounting effort required when compared to the minimal original

cost of the large number of items in these accounts. Many electric utilities in North

America have received approval to adopt amortization accounting for these accounts. An

explanation of the calculation of annual and accrued amortization is presented beginning

on page II-31 of the report.

The service life and salvage estimates used in the depreciation and amortization

calculations were based on judgment which incorporated analyses of available historical

data, a review of policies and outlook with management, a general knowledge of the

electric utility industry, and comparisons of the service life and salvage estimates from

Page 9: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

studies of other electric utilities. The use of survivor curves to reflect the expected

dispersion of retirement provides a consistent method of estimating depreciation for electric

plant. Iowa type survivor curves were used to depict the estimated survivor curves. For

life span groups, the estimates of survivor curves are consistent because the calculations

of the lives of the units within each group are obtained by using a single probable

retirement date for the entire group. The estimates of net salvage are expressed as the

average net salvage percent of the investment to be incurred or recovered upon its

retirement.

CHANGES SUBSEQUENT TO THE PRIOR DEPRECIATION STUDY REPORT

The depreciation calculations included in the prior depreciation study report

submitted to the Board in December 2001 were based on electric plant in service as of

December 31, 2000. The depreciation calculations included with this report are based on

electric plant in service as of December 31, 2001. The annual accrual rate calculations

were based on the same group procedures and bases as those used in last year’s

depreciation report. The service life and net salvage estimates, based on a study

incorporating data through 1999, are the same as those used in last year’s report with the

exception of six accounts related to three locations.

The estimated retirement dates for two of the Company’s diesel power plants were

extended based on the current outlook from engineering. Five of the six affected accounts

are related to the diesel power plants. The estimated retirement date for the St. John’s

Diesel Plant was revised from mid-year 2001 to mid-year 2003. The estimated retirement

date for the Port Aux Basques Diesel Plant was revised from mid-year 2006 to mid-year

Page 10: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

I-5

2012. Also, the net salvage estimate for the former System Control Centre building located

on Topsail Road was revised from 32 percent to negative 6 percent to reflect the estimated

cost of demolition of $50,000, which is 6 percent of the cost of the building.

Other changes include: 1) the depreciation calculations are based on the retroactive

application of the mid-year convention and 2) the inclusion of joint-use poles purchased

from Aliant Telecom, Inc. or “Aliant”. The annual and accrued depreciation amounts set

forth in this report were based on the mid-year convention. Newfoundland Power adopted

the mid-year convention for their book depreciation practices on a prospective basis

beginning in 2001. The mid-year convention assumes that all property is installed on July

1 of each year so that at year end a half year of depreciation has been recorded for the

current year’s additions. This convention, or similar derivations of this convention, is widely

used by other utilities and provides a better match between depreciation expense and the

average in-service date of electric plant. The retroactive application of the mid-year

convention has resulted in a decrease to the calculated accrued depreciation by

approximately $12M. The reduction of the theoretical reserve corresponds to a $12.0

million increase to the reserve variance. The amortization amount will reduce depreciation

expense since the Company’s book accumulated depreciation currently exceeds the

calculated accrued depreciation.

In 2001, Newfoundland Power agreed to purchase from Aliant all of their joint-use

poles within Newfoundland Power’s service territory over a five year period. The purchase

price was equal to the net book value of the poles. The purchase price of the Aliant poles

acquired by Newfoundland Power in 2001 was $20,219,834, consisting of $27,856,756 in

original cost and $7,636,922 of accumulated depreciation.

Page 11: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

I-6

Gannett Fleming recommends that Newfoundland Power record on their books both

the original cost and accumulated depreciation related to the poles purchased from Aliant.

This will streamline the accounting since it will eliminate the need for Newfoundland Power

to account for two groups of poles. If Newfoundland Power were to use the purchase price

amount, i.e, $20,219,834, the cost basis for the poles purchased from Aliant would be

different, i.e., a 2001 price level or current basis, than the remaining poles owned by

Newfoundland Power which are recorded at original cost or a historical basis. Using the

recommended accounting method, the cost basis for poles purchased from Aliant will be

original cost when first dedicated to utility service which is consistent with the cost basis

used for poles owned by Newfoundland Power and accounting convention. A consistent

cost basis for electric plant, such as original cost, is the preferred accounting treatment

for acquired properties for utilities when original cost data are available. However,

regardless of which cost basis is used, i.e., purchase price or original cost, the amounts

charged to depreciation expense will be the same. By recording the poles purchased from

Aliant at original cost with a provision for accumulated depreciation, Newfoundland Power

will be able to simplify the accounting process and categorize poles into one plant account

and apply one depreciation rate to all poles. Otherwise, Newfoundland Power would be

required to account for two groups of poles separately and apply different depreciation

rates to each group.

The calculated accrued depreciation as of December 31, 2001 is $398.6 million and

the book accumulated depreciation is $415.8 million. The difference or variance of $17.2

million is 4.3 percent of the calculated or theoretical amount. $12.0 million of the $17.2

million reserve variance was due to the retroactive application of the mid-year convention.

Page 12: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

I-7

The calculated accrued depreciation is used as a measure to assess the adequacy of the

Company’s book accumulated depreciation amount. The calculated accrued depreciation

should not be viewed in exact terms as the correct reserve amount. Rather it should be

viewed as a benchmark or a tool used by the depreciation professional to assess the

standing of the book accumulated depreciation amount based on the most recent available

information. Newfoundland Power has reduced depreciation expense by approximately

$11.9 million over the period since the 1996 depreciation study in order to reduce the

excess accumulated depreciation calculated at that time. Gannett Fleming proposes to

amortize the existing reserve variance of $17.2 million over a period equal to the composite

remaining life of the assets. The amortization of the reserve variance will reduce

depreciation expense by approximately $1.2 million in Year 1.

In 1996, the Board decided in Order No. P.U. 7 (1996) that the correction of the

reserve variance should occur over a five-year period. Gannett Fleming is of the opinion

that the reserve variance be amortized over the account’s composite remaining life. This

is the industry’s most commonly used method for adjusting depreciation. Also it decreases

the probability of large fluctuations in depreciation expense that can occur with relatively

short amortization periods, such as five years, and is the method that Gannett Fleming

considers appropriate for Newfoundland Power. The remaining lives of the various

accounts range from a few years to over forty years. An explanation of the monitoring of

the accumulated depreciation reserve and the calculation of the reserve variance

amortization is presented beginning on page II-33 of the report.

As noted in the 1996 General Rate Application, the reserve variance could be

amortized over a fixed period, such as 5 or 10 years, if there was a need to align the book

Page 13: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

accumulated provision for depreciation with the calculated accrued depreciation more

quickly. Schedule 4, presented in Part III of this report, sets forth the reserve variance

amortization over a five year period using a 5 percent materiality threshold consistent with

the Board’s Decision in Order No. P.U. 7 (1996).

SUMMARY

Summaries of the study results by plant account are presented in the schedules in

Part III of the report. The continued use of annual accrual rates and the maintenance and

monitoring of the accumulated depreciation reserve by plant account is appropriate for

Newfoundland Power.

The following summary of composite whole life accrual rates at the functional level

is provided only for purposes of comparing the results of the current and previous study.

The amortization of the reserve variance has not been incorporated in the rates below.

PART II. METHODS USED INTHE ESTIMATION OF DEPRECIATION

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation, as applied to depreciable electric plant, means the loss in service

value not restored by current maintenance, incurred in connection with the consumption

of prospective retirement of electric plant in the course of service from causes which are

known to be in current operation and against which the utility is not protected by insurance.

Among the causes to be given consideration are wear and tear, decay, action of the

elements, inadequacy, obsolescence, changes in the art, changes in demand and

requirements of public authority.

Depreciation as used in accounting is a method of distributing fixed capital costs,

less net salvage, over a period of time by allocating annual amounts to expense. Each

annual amount of such depreciation expense is part of that year's total cost of providing

utility service. Normally, the period of time over which the fixed capital cost is allocated to

the cost of service is equal to the period of time over which an item renders service, that

is, the item's service life. The most prevalent method of allocation is to distribute an equal

amount of cost to each year of service life. This method is known as the straight line

method of depreciation.

The calculation of annual depreciation based on the straight line method requires

the estimation of average life and salvage. These subjects are discussed in the sections

which follow.

SERVICE LIFE AND NET SALVAGE ESTIMATION

Average Service Life

The use of an average service life for a property group implies that the various units

in the group have different lives. Thus, the average life may be obtained by determining

the separate lives of each of the units, or by constructing a survivor curve by plotting the

number of units which survive at successive ages. A discussion of the general concept of

survivor curves is presented. Also, the Iowa type survivor curves are reviewed.

Survivor Curves

The survivor curve graphically depicts the amount of property existing at each age

throughout the life of an original group. From the survivor curve, the average life of the

group, the remaining life expectancy, the probable life, and the frequency curve can be

calculated. In Figure 1 a typical smooth survivor curve and the derived curves are

illustrated. The average life is obtained by calculating the area under the survivor curve,

from age zero to the maximum age, and dividing this area by the ordinate at age zero. The

remaining life expectancy at any age can be calculated by obtaining the area under the

curve, from the observation age to the maximum age, and dividing this area by the percent

surviving at the observation age. For example, in Figure 1 the remaining life at age 30

years is equal to the crosshatched area under the survivor curve divided by 29.5 percent

surviving at age 30. The probable life at any age is developed by adding the age and

remaining life. If the probable life of the property is calculated for each year of age, the

probable life curve shown in the chart can be developed. The frequency curve presents

the number of units retired in each age interval and is derived by obtaining the differences

between the amount of property surviving at the beginning and at the end of each interval.

Iowa Type Curves. The range of survivor characteristics usually experienced by

utility and industrial properties is encompassed by a system of generalized survivor curves

known as the Iowa type curves. There are four families in the Iowa system, labeled in

accordance with the location of the modes of the retirements in relationship to the average

life and the relative height of the modes. The left moded curves, presented in Figure 2, are

those in which the greatest frequency of retirement occurs to the left of, or prior to, average

service life. The symmetrical moded curves, presented in Figure 3, are those in which the

greatest frequency of retirement occurs at average service life. The right moded curves,

presented in Figure 4, are those in which the greatest frequency of retirement occurs to the

right of, or after, average service life. The origin moded curves, presented in Figure 5, are

those in which the greatest frequency of retirement occurs at the origin, or immediately

after age zero. The letter designation of each family of curves (L, S, R or O) represents

the location of the mode of the associated frequency curve with respect to the average

service life. The numerical subscripts represent the relative heights of the modes of the

frequency curves within each family.

The Iowa curves were developed at the Iowa State College Engineering Experiment

Station through an extensive process of observation and classification of the ages at which

industrial property had been retired. A report of the study which resulted in the

classification of property survivor characteristics into 18 type curves, which constitutes

Bulletin 125.1 These type curves have also been presented in subsequent Experiment

Station bulletins and in the text, "Engineering Valuation and Depreciation."2 In 1957, Frank

V. B. Couch, Jr., an Iowa State College graduate student, submitted a thesis3 presenting

his development of the fourth family consisting of the four O type survivor curves.

Retirement Rate Method of Analysis

The retirement rate method is an actuarial method of deriving survivor curves using

the average rates at which property of each age group is retired. The method relates to

property groups for which aged accounting experience is available or for which aged

accounting experience is developed by statistically aging unaged amounts and is the

method used to develop the original stub survivor curves in this study. The method (also

known as the annual rate method) is illustrated through the use of an example in the

following text, and is also explained in several publications, including "Statistical Analyses

of Industrial Property Retirements,"4 "Engineering Valuation and Depreciation,"5 and

"Depreciation Systems."6

Page 25: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

II-11

The average rate of retirement used in the calculation of the percent surviving for

the survivor curve (life table) requires two sets of data: first, the property retired during a

period of observation, identified by the property's age at retirement; and second, the

property exposed to retirement at the beginning of the age intervals during the same

period. The period of observation is referred to as the experience band, and the band of

years which represent the installation dates of the property exposed to retirement during

the experience band is referred to as the placement band. An example of the calculations

used in the development of a life table follows on pages II-12 and II-13. The example

includes schedules of annual aged property transactions, a schedule of plant exposed to

retirement, a life table, and illustrations of smoothing the stub survivor curve.

Schedules of Annual Transactions in Plant Records. The property group used to

illustrate the retirement rate method is observed for the experience band 1992-2001 during

which there were placements during the years 1987-2001. In order to illustrate the

summation of the aged data by age interval, the data were compiled in the manner

presented in Tables 1 and 2 on pages II-12 and II-13. In Table 1, the year of installation

(year placed) and the year of retirement are shown. The age interval during which a

retirement occurred is determined from this information. In the example which follows,

$10,000 of the dollars invested in 1987 were retired in 1992. The $10,000 retirement

occurred during the age interval between 4½ and 5½ years on the basis that approximately

one-half of the amount of property was installed prior to and subsequent to July 1 of each

year. That is, on the average, property installed during a year is placed in service at the

midpoint of the year for the purpose of the analysis. All retirements also are stated as

occurring at the midpoint of a one-year age interval of time, except the first age interval

which encompasses only one-half year.

The total retirements occurring in each age interval in a band are determined by

summing the amounts for each transaction year-installation year combination for that age

interval. For example, the total of $143,000 retired for age interval 4½-5½ is the sum of

the retirements entered on Table 1 immediately above the stairstep line drawn on the table

beginning with the 1992 retirements of 1987 installations and ending with the 2001

retirements of the 1996 installations. Thus, the total amount of 143 for age interval 4½-5½

equals the sum of:

10 + 12 + 13 + 11 + 13 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 20.

In Table 2, other transactions which affect the group are recorded in a similar

manner. The entries illustrated include transfers and sales. The entries which are credits

to the plant account are shown in parentheses. The items recorded on this schedule are

not totaled with the retirements but are used in developing the exposures at the beginning

of each age interval.

Schedule of Plant Exposed to Retirement. The development of the amount of

plant exposed to retirement at the beginning of each age interval is illustrated in Table 3

on page II-15.

The surviving plant at the beginning of each year from 1992 through 2001 is

recorded by year in the portion of the table headed "Annual Survivors at the Beginning of

the Year." The last amount entered in each column is the amount of new plant added to

the group during the year. The amounts entered in Table 3 for each successive year

following the beginning balance or addition are obtained by adding or subtracting the net

entries shown on Tables 1 and 2. For the purpose of determining the plant exposed to

retirement, transfers-in are considered as being exposed to retirement in this group at the

beginning of the year in which they occurred, and the sales and transfers-out are

considered to be removed from the plant exposed to retirement at the beginning of the

following year. Thus, the amounts of plant shown at the beginning of each year are the

amounts of plant from each placement year considered to be exposed to retirement at the

beginning of each successive transaction year. For example, the exposures for the

installation year 1997 are calculated in the following manner:

Exposures at age 0 = amount of addition = $750,000 Exposures at age ½ = $750,000 - $ 8,000 = $742,000 Exposures at age 1½ = $742,000 - $18,000 = $724,000 Exposures at age 2½ = $724,000 - $20,000 - $19,000 = $685,000 Exposures at age 3½ = $685,000 - $22,000 = $663,000

For the entire experience band 1992-2001, the total exposures at the beginning of

an age interval are obtained by summing diagonally in a manner similar to the summing

of the retirements during an age interval (Table 1). For example, the figure of 3,789,

shown as the total exposures at the beginning of age interval 4½ -5½ , is obtained by

summing:

255 + 268 + 284 + 311 + 334 + 374 + 405 + 448 + 501 + 609.

Original Life Table. The original life table, illustrated in Table 4 on page II-17, is

developed from the totals shown on the schedules of retirements and exposures, Tables

1 and 3, respectively. The exposures at the beginning of the age interval are obtained

from the corresponding age interval of the exposure schedule, and the retirements during

the age interval are obtained from the corresponding age interval of the retirement

schedule. The retirement ratio is the result of dividing the retirements during the age

beginning of each age interval is derived from survivor ratios, each of which equals one

minus the retirement ratio. The percent surviving is developed by starting with 100% at

age zero and successively multiplying the percent surviving at the beginning of each

interval by the survivor ratio, i.e., one minus the retirement ratio for that age interval. The

calculations necessary to determine the percent surviving at age 5½ are as follows:

Percent surviving at age 4½ = 88.15Exposures at age 4½ = 3,789,000 Retirements from age 4½ to 5½ = 143,000 Retirement Ratio = 143,000 ÷ 3,789,000 = 0.0377Survivor Ratio = 1.000 - 0.0377 = 0.9623 Percent surviving at age 5½ = (88.15) x (0.9623) = 84.83

The totals of the exposures and retirements (columns 2 and 3) are shown for the

purpose of checking with the respective totals in Tables 1 and 3. The ratio of the total

retirements to the total exposures, other than for each age interval, is meaningless.

The original survivor curve is plotted from the original life table (column 6, Table 4).

When the curve terminates at a percent surviving greater than zero, it is called a stub

survivor curve. Survivor curves developed from retirement rate studies generally are stub

curves.

Smoothing the Original Survivor Curve. The smoothing of the original survivor curve

eliminates any irregularities and serves as the basis for the preliminary extrapolation to

zero percent surviving of the original stub curve. Even if the original survivor curve is

complete from 100% to zero percent, it is desirable to eliminate any irregularities as there

is still an extrapolation for the vintages which have not yet lived to the age at which the

curve reaches zero percent. In this study, the smoothing of the original curve with estab-

lished type curves was used to eliminate irregularities in the original curve.

The Iowa type curves are used in this study to smooth those original stub curves

which are expressed as percents surviving at ages in years. Each original survivor curve

Page 33: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

II-19

was compared to the Iowa curves using visual and mathematical matching in order to

determine the better fitting smooth curves. In Figures 6, 7, and 8 the original curve

developed in Table 4 is compared with the L, S, and R Iowa type curves which most nearly

fit the original survivor curve. In Figure 6 the L1 curve with an average life between 12 and

13 years appears to be the best fit. In Figure 7 the S0 type curve with a 12-year average

life appears to be the best fit and appears to be better than the L1 fitting. In Figure 8 the

R1 type curve with a 12-year average life appears to be the best fit and appears to be

better than either the L1 or the S0. In Figure 9 the three fittings, 12-L1, 12-S0, and 12-R1

are drawn for comparison purposes. It is probable that the 12-R1 Iowa curve would be

selected as the most representative of the plotted survivor characteristics of the group,

assuming no contrary relevant factors external to the analysis of historical data.

Service Life Considerations

The service life estimates were based on judgment which considered a number of

factors. The primary factors were the statistical analyses of data; current Company policies

and outlook as determined during field reviews of the property and other conversations with

management; and the survivor curve estimates from previous studies of this Company and

other electric companies.

Several subaccounts were combined and analyzed as a single depreciable group

based on discussions with operating and management personnel. These subaccounts

include assets which have similar service life characteristics or which perform similar or

analyzed as a single depreciable group:

For most of the mass plant accounts and subaccounts, the statistical analyses

resulted in good to excellent indications of complete survivor patterns. Generally, the

information external to the statistics led to no significant departure from the indicated survivor

curves for the accounts listed below. The statistical support for the service life estimates

data have been compiled for the years 1948 through 1999. These data have been coded

in the course of the Company's normal recordkeeping according to account or property

group, type of transaction, year in which the transaction took place, and year in which the

electric plant was placed in service. The retirements, other plant transactions, and plant

additions were analyzed by the retirement rate method.

Discussions with management indicated the primary causes of retirements have been

inadequacy, deterioration and pole relocations. That is, poles are retired for clearance

issues, their inability to support heavier conductors, the requirements of others in addition

to the degradation of the poles caused by natural forces, i.e., decay and wear and tear.

These causes of retirement are expected to continue in the foreseeable future. The previous

estimate was the Iowa 36-R2.5 for Poles and Pole Fixtures.

The survivor curve estimate for these accounts is the Iowa 40-R2.5 and is based on

the statistical indication for the period 1975 through 1999. The Iowa 40-R2.5 is a good fit

of the significant portion of the original survivor curve as set forth in Appendix A and is within

the typical service life range of 30 to 45 years for transmission poles and fixtures.

For Other Production Plant accounts and General Plant, Large Buildings and

Structures, the life span technique was employed in conjunction with the use of interim

survivor curves. Interim survivor curves reflect retirements that occur prior to the ultimate

retirement of the major unit or building. An interim survivor curve was estimated for each

plant account, inasmuch as the rate of interim retirements differs from account to account.

The interim survivor curves estimated for other production plant were based on the

retirement rate method of life analysis which incorporated experienced aged retirements for

the period 1948 through 1999. The statistical support for the interim rates of retirement for

other production plant accounts are set forth in Appendix A.

The life span estimates for power generating stations were the result of considering

experienced life spans of similar generating units, the age of surviving units, general

operating characteristics of the units, major refurbishing, and discussions with management

personnel, concerning the outlook for the units.

Amortization accounting is used for certain General and Communication Plant

accounts that represent numerous units of property, but a small portion of the depreciable

electric plant in service. A discussion of the basis for the amortization periods is presented

in the section “Calculation of Annual and Accrued Amortization.”

Generally, the survivor curve estimates for the remaining accounts, were based on

judgments which considered the nature of the plant and equipment, reviews of available

historical data, and a general knowledge of service lives for similar equipment in other

electric companies.

Salvage Analysis

The estimates of net salvage were based in part on historical data compiled for the

years 1976 through 1999. Cost of removal and salvage were expressed as percents of the

original cost of plant retired, both on annual and three-year moving average bases. The

most recent five-year average also was calculated for consideration. The net salvage

estimates are expressed as a percent of the original cost of plant retired.

The experienced net salvage data were available by account for Distribution, General

and Communication Plant accounts. The historical net salvage data through 1995 for the

two Substation accounts and the six Transmission accounts were available only in total for

the function as is typical when the depreciation reserve is maintained by function.

For Distribution Plant, there were several depreciable groups where the net salvage

data were not readily available at the depreciable group level as it is impractical to segregate

salvage receipts between such groups. The following presents the depreciable groups for

which net salvage was analyzed as one group in order to develop historical indications of net

salvage.

Net Salvage Considerations

The estimates of salvage were based primarily on judgment which considered a

number of factors. The primary factors were the analyses of historical data; the net salvage

characteristics of other electric utility properties, a knowledge of management's plans and

operating policies; and net salvage estimates from previous studies of this Company and

other electric companies. The accounts for which the historical analyses were representative

of expectations for future net salvage levels are presented below:

Account 363, Street Lights, are used to illustrate the manner in which the study was

conducted for the group of accounts in the preceding list. Depreciation reserve accounting

data were compiled for the years 1976 through 1999. These data include the retirements,

cost of removal and salvage.

Discussions with management indicated that street lights are removed if they cannot

be repaired in the field and then are either reused, sold or disposed. Reused street light

housings are returned to inventory at current prices. The previous estimate of net salvage

for street lights was 10 percent. The range of typical net salvage estimates for street lights

is zero percent to negative 30 percent.

The net salvage estimate for Account 363, Street Lights, is 10 percent positive and

is based on the experienced net salvage data for the years 1976 through 1999. The three-

year moving average net salvage data remained fairly level during the period 1976 through

1999 ranging from 6 percent to 23 percent. The most recent five-year average indicates 10

percent and the overall net salvage percent for the period 1976 through 1999 is 11 percent

as shown in the tabulation in Appendix B. This estimate is appropriate for Newfoundland

Power, due to the high gross salvage which results from pricing reused street light housings

at current prices.

The net salvage estimates for production plant reflect estimated decommissioning

costs associated with each generating station. The decommissioning cost estimate for each

location was based on the results of a decommissioning study conducted by the Company's

engineering department. The Company's decommissioning cost estimates were stated in

current (2000) dollars. The decommissioning of the hydroelectric, gas turbines and diesel

Page 45: Depreciation Study - GANNETT Fleming, Inc

II-31

units are projected to occur at various dates in the future. The decommissioning cost

estimates were adjusted for the effect of inflation between 2000 and the projected retirement

date to develop the net salvage percent estimate as shown in the table on the following

page.

Amortization accounting is used for certain General and Communication Plant

accounts. Future gross salvage and removal cost for these accounts will be recorded as

revenue and expense, respectively. Inasmuch as there will be no depreciation reserve

entries related to salvage, the estimate of net salvage for accounts subject to amortization

is zero percent.

Generally, the net salvage estimates for the remaining accounts were based on

judgments which considered the nature of the plant and equipment, the Company’s

accounting policies and practices, reviews of available historical data, and a general

knowledge of net salvage percents for similar equipment, in other electric companies.

CALCULATION OF ANNUAL AND ACCRUED AMORTIZATION

Amortization is the gradual extinguishment of an amount in an account by distributing

such amount over a fixed period, over the life of the asset or liability to which it applies, or

over the period during which it is anticipated the benefit will be realized. Normally, the

distribution of the amount is in equal amounts to each year of the amortization period.

The calculation of annual and accrued amortization requires the selection of an

amortization period. The amortization periods used in this report were the same as those

presented and approved in the previous depreciation report. The amortization periods were

based on judgment which incorporated a consideration of the period during which the assets

will render most of their service, the amortization period and service lives used by other

utilities, and the service life estimates previously used under depreciation accounting.

Amortization accounting is used for certain General and Communication Plant

accounts that represent numerous units of property, but a very small portion of depreciable

electric plant in service. The accounts and their amortization periods are as follows:

Account

AmortizationPeriod,

Years

The calculated accrued amortization is equal to the original cost multiplied by the ratio

of the vintage's age to its amortization period. The annual amortization amount is

determined by dividing the original cost by the period of amortization for the account.

MONITORING OF BOOK ACCUMULATED DEPRECIATION

The calculated accrued depreciation or amortization represents that portion of the

depreciable cost which will not be allocated to expense through future depreciation accruals,

if current forecasts of service life characteristics and net salvage materialize and are used

as a basis for depreciation accounting. Thus, the calculated accrued depreciation provides

a measure of the book accumulated depreciation. The use of this measure is recommended

in the amortization of book accumulated depreciation variances to insure complete recovery

of capital over the life of the property.

The reserve variance amortization developed in this study is based on the variance

between the book accumulated depreciation and the calculated accrued depreciation where

the variance exceeds five percent of the calculated accrued depreciation and an amortization

period equal to the composite remaining life for each property group. The calculated

accrued depreciation or theoretical reserve is based on the mid-year convention. This

accounting convention assumes that property is in service for six months in the year it is

installed. The reserve variance determined in the study submitted to the Board in December

2001 reflects the prospective treatment of the new accounting policy adopted by the

company in 2001. This study reflects the retroactive treatment of the new accounting policy

adopted by the company in 2001.

The composite remaining life for use in reducing accumulated depreciation variances

is derived by compositing the individual equal life group remaining lives in accordance with

the following equation:

The book costs and lives of the several equal life groups which are summed in the foregoing

equation are defined by the estimated future survivor curve.

Inasmuch as book cost divided by life equals the whole life annual accrual, the

foregoing equation reduces to the following form:

QUALIFICATION OF RESULTS

The calculated annual and accrued depreciation and the annual provision for true-up

(a.k.a., amortization of the accumulated depreciation variance) are the principal results of

the study. Continued surveillance and periodic revisions are normally required to maintain

continued use of appropriate annual depreciation accrual rates. An assumption that accrual

rates can remain unchanged over a long period of time implies a disregard for the inherent

variability in service lives and salvage and for the change of the composition of property in

service. The annual accrual rates and the accrued depreciation were calculated in

accordance with the straight line equal life group method of depreciation based on estimates

which reflect considerations of current historical evidence and expected future conditions.

The calculated accrued depreciation represents that portion of the depreciable cost

which will not be allocated to future annual expense through depreciation accruals, if current

forecasts of service life and salvage materialize and are used as a basis for straight line

equal life group depreciation accounting.

DESCRIPTION OF STATISTICAL SUPPORT

The service life and salvage estimates were based on judgment which incorporated

statistical analyses of retirement data, discussions with management and consideration of

estimates made for other electric utility companies. The results of the statistical analyses

of service life are presented in Appendix A of the companion volume to this report.

The estimated survivor curves for each account are presented in graphical form. The

charts depict the estimated smooth survivor curve and original survivor curve(s), when

applicable, related to each specific group. For groups where the original survivor curve was

plotted, the calculation of the original life table is also presented.

The analyses of salvage data are presented in Appendix B titled, "Net Salvage

Statistics." The tabulations present annual cost of removal and salvage data, three-year

moving averages and the most recent five-year average. Data are shown in dollars and as

percentages of original costs retired.

DESCRIPTION OF DEPRECIATION TABULATIONS

Summaries of the results of the study, as applied to the original cost of electric plant

at December 31, 2001, are presented on pages III-4 through III-23 of this report. Schedules

1 through 3 present the study results. Schedule 1 is a summary of the calculated annual and

accrued depreciation by account based on the straight line whole life method of depreciation.

Schedule 2 compares the calculated accrued depreciation with the book depreciation

reserve and calculates amortization amounts that correct the variance. Schedule 3 sets forth

the reserve variance amortization amounts to be recorded annually for the following five-year

period assuming amortization of the reserve variance over the composite remaining life of

the account. Schedule 4 sets forth the reserve variance amortization amounts to be

recorded annually for the following five-year period assuming amortization of the reserve

variance over five years.

The tables of the calculated annual and accrued depreciation are presented in

account sequence in Appendix C of the companion volume. The tables indicate the

estimated survivor curve and salvage percent for the account and set forth for each

installation year the original cost, the calculated annual accrual rate and amount, and the

calculated accrued depreciation factor and amount.
