It is Niagara Mohawk's view that the curtailment of capital expenditures to ensure payment of possible retrospective premiums of up to $20 million would not be a material problem as this amount represents only about 4.9% of currently scheduled construction expenditures, net of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFC) for the year 1994.
