BOSTON EDISON COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ,

i (1) Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted  ;

accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of the Company, the disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q are adequate to ma'sa the information pre-sented not misleading. See Notes to Financial Statements included in the Company's Form 30-K for the year ended December 31, 1977 for ad-ditional information relevant to the financial statemente contained herein, including information as to significant accounting policies followed by the Company (Note A) and the restatement for certain wholesale revenue adjustments (Notes F and J). l In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of l~

June 30, 1978 and 1977, and the results of operations and sources of construction funds for the six months then ended. i The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 1978 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. During 1977 and 1976, the Company experienced major fluctuations in quarterly net income. (See Note J of Notes to Financial Statements i included in the Company's Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 1977.)  ;

On May 4, 1977, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares of common stock, S10 par value, the net proceeds from which amounted to SS1,560,000 and also issued $60,000,000 First Mortgage Bonds, Series P, 9k% due 2007, the ,

proceeds from which were applied against a note due the First National Bank of Chicago on December 31,1978 (See Part II, Item 5 in Registrant's ,

Form 10-Q dated June 30, 1977).

At the Annual Meeting held April 16, 1978, Shareholders voted to amend l the Articles of Organization to increase the authorized capital stock of the Company by 3,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock having a par value of $10 per share. At June 30, 1978, 14,534,500 shares of Common Stock are authorized; 11,534,500 shares are issued and outstanding.

(2) The aggregate principal amounts of long-term debt due in the five years 1978 through 1982 are S1,640,000, S136,648,000, S15,320,000, S1,640,000, and S16,640,000, respectively. Sinking fund requirements of $180,000 and S150,000 .

have been satisfied for the years 1978 and 1979, respectively.

(3) In 1977 the Company computed Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) using a method prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

However, by order of February 28, 1978, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities (the Department) did not allow that method of computing AFUDC for l

l t

l '

1 racemaking purposes. The Company is currently discussing this matter with the appropriate regulatory authorities to determine the applicable method to be used in 1978. In the meanti=e AFUDC has been recorded in the first six months of 1978 consistent with the =ethod used in 1977. Had the Company used the method-prescribed in the Department's rate order, the effect on 1978 first and second quarter earnings would be immaterial.

The annual accrual rates for the six month periods ending June 30, 1978 and 1977 were 10.3" and 8.3", respectively.

(4) The Company's investments in nuclear electric companies are accounted for on the equity method.

BOSTON EDISON COMPAW Management's Discussion and Analysis of Statement of Income  !

Six Months Ended June 30, 1978 Versus Six Months Ended June 30, 1977 l

t For the first six months of 1978, kilowatthour sales to the Company's retail customers and for the total Edison territory increased 1.97. and i 2.0%, respectively. It is estimated that approximately 25,000,000 kilowatthour sales were lost due to the February blizzard which shut  ;

down the metropolitan 3oston area for a week and that absent such loss, l' territory kilowatthour sales would have increased 2.57.. Sales to the Company's partial requirement customers decreased 5.0?. due to the shut down of Mystic Unit #7 for maintenance, thus total Edison System sales increased six tenths of 17..

s Total operating revenues amounted to $305,399,000, an increase of r

$24,619,000 over the comparable 1977 period, as restated for certain wholesale revenue refunds. Electric revenues, excluding fuel and pur-chased prv:- adjustment revenues, increased $10,413,000, or 5.9% as summari:ed: y Karail Revenues:

Rate Increases S 8,420,000 Increase in Energy Sold 1,446,000 Total Retail Revenue Increase 9,S66,000 Sales for Resale 547,000 Total Increase in Base Electric Revenues S10,413,000 Electric fuel and purchased power clause revenue increased $16,301,000 over the same period in 1977, while stea= fuel clause revenues decreased

$1,601,000.

Operation expenses for the first six months of 1978 were $168,292,000, an increase of $14,924,000 or 9.7% over 1977. Of the increase S13,193,000 or 887. was due to the increase in fuel and purchased power expenses. '

other cperation expensas increased $1,731,000 primarily due to Union wage increases effective May, 1977 and 1978 and a manage =ent salary increase effective January 1, 1978. /

Maintenance expenses for the first six months increased $888,000 or 5.47.

due to a higher caintenance budget in the first six =e nths o f 1978.

Maintenance expense is allocated throughcut the year based on revenues.

Taxes other than ine:me taxes increased $1,568,000 primarily due t:

increased property taxes. Municipal property taxes are charged ratably throughout the year.

The ef fective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 1978 and 1977, are 437. and 457., respectively. The lower race in 1978 is attributable to the increase in All:wances for Other Funds Used During Construction which is not considered in competing 'iccome tax expense.

.....-__m . ...._._.._.s_._..__..-

4 Other interest increased $1,326,000 or 38*. principally as a result of increases in the prime lending rate and the reduction of bank loans in May 1977 resulting from the issuance of 550,000,000 series ? Bonds. ,

Total AFUDC increased $4,073,000 due primarily to higher monthly average construction verk in progress balances and a change in the AFUDC race.

BOSTON EDISON COMPANY Management's Discussion and Analysis of Statements of income Second _ Suarter of 1978 Versus First Quarter of 1978 Kilowatthour sales to the Company's retail customers and for the total Edison territory decreased approximately 77. for the second quarter of 1978 over the first quarter of 1978. Sales to the Ceepany's contract customers decreased 2.57., due primarily to a decrease in contract sales fro = Mystic Unit 7 which was shutdovn for maintenance during most of the 1978 second quarter.

Total operating revenues for the second quarter decreased $24,231,000 or 15'. due primarily to decreased sales. Of this decrease fuel and purchased power adjustment revenues accounced for 947., while base revenues increased $683,000 as summarized below:

Retail Revenues:

Rate Increases $4,083,000 Decrease in Energy Sold (1,090,000)

Total Retail Revenues Increase 2,993,000 Sales for Resale (Primarily Due to Mystic Unit 7 Contract Sales - See Above) (2,310,000)

Total Increase in Base Electric Revenues S 683,000 Total operating expenses decreased S27,989,000 or 197. due principally to s decrease in fuel and purchased power expenses. Thus, net operating inco=e increased $3,758,000 or 217..

The effective income tax rates for the second and first quarters of 1978 were 457 and 417., raspectively. The increased rate in the second quarter is due principally to approximately 637. of the six =enth pre-tax income being earned in the second quarter, whereas the investment tax credit amortization is reflected ratably throughout the year.

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction increased $1,022,000 in the second quarter of 1978 due primarily to increased =onthly average con-struction work in progress balances.

Primarily as a result of fluctuations described above, second quarter net income increased $4,301,000.

BOSTON EDISON COMPANY PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings On May 17, 1978, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court denied the Company's petition for stay of the proceedings before the Department of Public Utilities on its investigation into the capacity needs of the Company and the construction program required to meet such needs. (See Form 8K dated April 18, 1978).

On May 19, 1978, the Company amended an October 1975 Settlement Agreement with Atlas Corporation. This agreement dismissed the suit filed by the Company on February 6,1978 against Atlas Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. This suit had sought specific performance of the October 1975 Settlement Agreement (See Registrant's Form SK dated February 6,1978). The Amended Settlement Agreement of May 19, 1978 releases and discharges Atlas Corporation from the performance of the October 1975 Settlement Agreement and provides for the purchase and sale of approximately 2,186,500 pounds of uranium concentrates and giving the Company options to purchase up to 1,500,000 pounds more.

On May 25, 1978, the Atomic Safety and Licensing Appeal Board affirmed the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board's denial of our application for a limited work authorization - based on a finding that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff had not conducted an adequa*.e review of alternative sites. We will not appeal that decision; additional documentation on alternate sites is being prepared by the NRC staff.

The Company's request for a rehearing of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court's April 19, 1978 decision on our 1975 and 1976 rate case appeal was

On June 27, 1978, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued a decision granting the Company an additional $3.86 million in interim rate relief. l The increase is subject to refund pending the Court's final decision on the Company's appeal from the Department of Public Utilities' 1978 rate order.

On July 26, 1978, an initial decision from the United States Environ = ental ,

Protection Agency approved the "once-through" cooling system for Pilgrim  !
