SUMMARY

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (2) Principles of Consolidation-The consolidated financial statements include the financer I results of Flonda Progress Corporaton, and its wholly-owned subsidianes. Flonda Power Corporaton. Flonda Progrest s largest subsidiary representing substantially all of its total assets. is an operating public utility engaged in the production, transmission, distnbution and sale of electrc energy wholly within the State of Flonda All signifcant intercompany balances and intercompany transactons have been eliminated, Certain reclassifcatons have been made to poor year amounts to conform with current year presentation. Flonda Progress is exempt from regulation as a registered holding company under the Pubic Utikty Holding Company Act of 1935. (b) Electric Plant-Electnc plant is stated at the onginal cost of constructon whch includes payroll and related costs such as taxes, pensions and other fringe benefits, general and administrative costs and an allowance for funds used dunng construction Substantially all the electnc plant is pledged as collateral for Flonda Power's first mortgage bonds. (c) Operating Revenues and Fuel Expense-Pnor to 1981. Flonda Power recognized utility revenues concurrent with billings to customers on a cycle bdhng basis. To more closely match revenues and expenses, in 1981 Flonda Power began accruing revenues for service rendered but unbilled. The cost of fossil fuel for electre generation is charged to expense as burned. The cost of nuclear fuel is amortized to fuel expense based on the quantity of heat produced for the generation of electric energy in relation to the quantity of heat expected to be produced over the life of the nuclear fuel core. Flonda Power is allowed to recover fuel and purchased power costs through fuel adjustment clauses Revenues o' fuel expenses are adjusted for differences between recoverable fuel costs and amounts included in current rates. Flonda Power recovers estimated future permanent storage and disposal costs of spent nuclear fuel through its fuel adjustment clauses. Nuclear fuel storage and disposal costs related to fuel that has been previously consumed and which has not yet been collected from customers has been set up as a deferred charge on the balance sheet. In June 1983, Flonda Power entered into a contract with the Department of Energy to dispose of fuel consumed prior to April 7,1983, the cost of which is $23,346,000, as well as fuel consumed after that dato at the current cost of .1C a kilowatt hour. 23

FLORIDA PROGRESS CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements i (d) Depreciation and Maintenance-Flonda Progress and its subsidianes provide for the depreciation of the onginal cost of propertres over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. The annual provtsion for depreciation, expressed as a 1 percentage of the average balances of depreciable electnc plant of Flonda Power was 3 68% for 1983 and 3.65% for 1982 and l 1981. Flonda Power provides for future nuclear plant decommissioning costs which are recoverable through rates charged to its customers. Pursuant to Flonda Public Service Commission requirements, Flonda Power is placing its retail collections in a I funded reserve. The combined recovery from all customers plus interest earned on the funded amounts is expected to provide for the future dismantling, removal and land restoration Costs which are presently estimated to be $362.000.000 in the year 2008. Flonda Power charges maintenance with the cost of repairs and minor renewals of property, the plant accounts with the cost of renewals and replacements of property units and accumulated depreciation with cost, less net salvage, of property units retired. l Flonda Power accrues a reserve for expenses anticipated to be incurred dunng scheduled nuclear plant refueling outages. ) l (e) Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFDC)-This item represents the estimated cost of funds applicable to l utility plant under construction. Recognition of this item as a cost of utihty plant is appropnate because it constitutes an actual cost of construction and, under established regulatory rate practices, Flonda Power is permitted to earn a return on these costs and to recover them in the rates charged for utility services. The average rate used in computing AFDC for the years 1983,1982, and 1981 was 10.08%,9.79% and 9 33%, respectively. (f) Pension Costs-Flonda Progress and its subsidianes have a retirement plan covenng substantially all of their employees. The total pension costs for 1983.1982 and 1981 were $6.872,000, $9,532,000 and $8,064,000,respectively. Pnor service costs, which were amortized over a 10 year penod pnor to 1983, became fully funded on January 1,1983, due to a change in the interest rate assumption. The change reduced the annual cost in 1983 by $2,065,000. Effective January 1,1982, the plan was amended to revise the early retirement benefits for long-service employees. This increased the annual cost in 1982 by $580,000 The plan was amended, effective December 31,1983, to increase the retirement benefits for employees. Annual contnbutions to the plan equal the amounts accrued for pension expense. A comparison of the actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits based on an assumed rate of investment return of 8% a year and plan net Essets is presented below: January 1, 1983 1982 (Thousands) Actuanal present value of accumulated plan benefits: Vested S 61,491 $ 53.561 j Nonvested 9,110 8,054 { Total $ 70,601 5 61,615 i Net assets available for benefits $143,383 $113,449 The actuanal present value of accumulated plan benefits does not recognize any improvements in benefits and ignores the effects of future compensation increases on the benefits participants will receive for their past service. If this value is adjusted for projected compensation increases consistent with the assumed rate of investment return, the adjusted actuarial present value of j accumulated plan benefits would be approximately $106.400,000 and $92.600,000 for 1983 and 1982, respectively 24

(4) LONG-TERM DEBT On December 1,1983, Flonda Power completed the defeasance of $50,000,000 Pollution Control Revenue Bonds due May 1,1984, and the advance refunding of a $25,000,000 Anticipaton Note due May 1,1984 Suffcent funds in the form of United States Government secunt es were deposited with trustees to pay the respective pnncipals and the accrued interest up to the date of redemption or matunty. The effects of these transactions on not income were insignifcant. The defcasance and the advance refunding were funded by proceeds from the issuance of $87,000.000 Annual Tender Polluton Control Revenue Bonds, Seres 1983 Bondt The interest rate will be adjusted on December t of each year and the bondholders may e!ect to tender their Seres 1983 Bonds at that time.

The combined aggregate matuntos of long term debt and cash sinking fund requirements for 1984,1985,1986,1987 and 1988 are $8,706.000, $11,313,000, $98,908,000, $109,763,000 and $14.061,000, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (5) JOINTLY-OWNED PLANT Flonda Power's 90% ownership share in the Crystal Arver nuclear unit amounted to $396.620.000 of electre plant in servce, $9.873.000 of construction work in progress, and $90,239,000 of accumulated depreciation, which includes

       $11,496.000 of decommissioning costs, at December 31,1983. Each partcipant provides for its own financing. Florda Power's share of the operating costs are included in the appropnate expense captions in the statements of income.

(6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (:) Construction Program-Substantial commitments have been made in connection with Fionda Power's construction program whch is presently estimated to be $276,100,000 in 1984, (b) Legal Proceedings-The 1978 forced shutdown of the Crystal River nuclear unit and ensuing Flonda Pubic Servce Commission (FPSC) investigation resulted in an order that Florda Power refund approximately $14,700,000 in increased fuel costs paid by its customers. On Apnl 8.1981, the FPSC reduced the required refund by $1,800,000 plus interest, but denied other points raised by Flonda Power. Flonda Power appealed this decision to the Florida Supreme Court on Apnl 24,1981. On December 16.1982, the Supreme Court issued its decision reversing the FPSC's Order and returned the matter to the FPSC for reconsderation. In making its decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the FPSC had improperly reired upon certa:n evidence. On July 13,1983, the FPSC issued an Order on Remand requinng Flonda Power to refund

     $11,056.000 plus interest to its customers. On August 12,1983, Florda Power again appealed this matter to the Florda Supreme Court, contending that the FPSC had again improperly relied on the same evidence, contrary to the Court's previous decision. In the opinion of Flonda Power management and legal counsel, the resolution of this matter should not result in any matenal adjustment to the recorded provisions for Fionda Power's best estimate of its ultimate refund liability.

However, in the event this matter is resolved adversely to Flonda Power, the maximum amount that Flonda Progress's earnings would be adversely impacted, as of December 31,1983, would be $5,800,000, net of income taxes. (c) Nuclear insurance-The Prce Anderson Act currently limits the liability of an owner of a nuclear power plant to

    $580.000,000 for a single nuclear incdent. Flonda Power has purchased the maximum available private insurance of j   $160,000,000, and the balance is provided by indemnity agreements with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. In the event of a nuclear incdent. Florda Power could be assessed up to $5.000,000 for the licensed reactor it owns with a maximum assessment of $10,000,000 in a year. Flonda Power carnes additional insurance with Nuclec,r Electric Insurance, Ltd. (NEIL) to cover the cost of replacement power dunng prolonged outages of the nuclear unit. Flonda Power is subject to a retrospective premium liability of up to $7,400,000 in any year in which losses exceed accumulated funds available to NEIL, Florda Power currently carnes apprommately $1,000,000,000 in property insurance representing the maximum available. This coverage is provded by vanous underwnters through several different policies. Under one of the polcies underwntten by NEIL, which provides $425,000,000 excess coverage, Flonda Power is contingently liable for a retrospective premium assessment of up to $6.500,000 in any one polcy year in the event NEll's excess property losses exceed available funds.

(7) SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION TO DISCLOSE THE EFFECTS OF CHANGING PRICES (Unaudited) The following suppiementary presentation is made consistent with Statement No. 33 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board and is intended to set forth the effect of both general inflation and changes in specifc prces on Flonda Progress and its subsdianes it should be viewed as an estimate of the approximate effect of inflation, rather than as a precise measure. Constant dollar amounts represent historcal costs stated in terms of dollars of equal purchasing power, as measured by the Consumer Prce Index for afi Urban Consumers. Current cost amounts reflect the changes in specifc prces of property, plant and equipment (plant) from the date the plant was acquired to the present, and differ from constant dollar amounts to the extent that specifc prces have increased more or less rapidly than the general rate of inflation. The current cost of plant is determired by indexing surviving plant by the Handy Whitman Index of Pubic Utility Construction Costs. Since the plant is not expected to be rtplaced precisely la kind, current cost does not necessanly represent the replacement cost of Florida Power's productive capacity. Amortization of nuclear fuel, an item included in operating and maintenance expense, and depreciation are determined by applying Florda Power's amortization and depreciation rates to the average indexed plant amounts. l l II

FLOHtDA PROGRESS CORPORATION Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Since only histoncal costs are deduct.b!e for income tax purposes. the income tax expense in the histoncal cost financial statements is not adjusted i Under the rate-makng prescnbed by the regulatory commissions to which Flonda Power is subject, only the histoncal cost of plant is recoverab'e in revenues as amortization and depreciation. Therefore the excess of the cost of plant stated in terms of constant dollars or current cost that exceeds the histoncal cost of plant is not presently recoverable in rates as amortization or l depreciat>on. and is reflected as a reduction to net recoverable cost. To properly reflect the economics of rate regulation in the consohdated statement of income from continuing operations. the reduction of Flonda Power's net plant should be offset by the gain from the dechne in purchasing power of net amounts owed Dunng a penod of inflation, holders of monetary assets suffer a loss of general purchasing power while holders of monetary habilities expenence a gain The ga:n from the deci ne in purchasing power of net amounts owed is pnmanly attnbutabte to the substant,al amount of debt which has been used to finance plant. S'nce the amortt2ation and depreciat.on on this pfant is hmrted to the recovery of histoncal costs. Flonda Power does not have the opportunity to reahze a holding gain on debt and is hmited to recovery only of the embedded cost of debt capital COMSOLIDATED FIVE YEAR COMPARISON OF SELECTED SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL DATA ADJUSTED FOR EFFECTS OF CHANGING PRICES (Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts, of Average 1983 Dollars) Years Ended December 31, 1982 1981 1980 1979 1983 Operating revenues $970,161 $835.465
