y Report of independent Public Assowntents b To the Stockholders and floard of Directors of Ohio Edison Company: We have audi:cd the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of capitalization of Ohio Edison Company (an Ohio corporation) and subsid-iaries as of December 31,1989 and 1988, and the related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, capital stock and other paid in caphal, cash flows and taxes for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1989. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management Our respon-sibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assur-ance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclo-sures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the metall financial statement presentation. We believe that-our audits provMe a reasonable basis for our opinion, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ohio Edison Company and subsidiaries as of December 31,1989 and 1988, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1989, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The continued construction of Perry Unit 2 is currently being reviewed by the CAPCO companies. As discussed in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, possible alternatiws being considered include indefinite suspension, resumption of work and termination of the Unit. Because the Companies are unable to predict the results of the review, they cannot now predict if construction of Perry Unit 2 will be terminated and, if terminated, to what extent the Companies' investments will be recoverable, k .
