The method of tax allocation reflects the benef ts and burdens realized by each company's participation in the consolidated tax return, approximating a separate return result for each company.

Federal incorre tax expense adjustments in 1990, associated with previously deferred investment tax credits relating to the 1988 write off of nuclear plant investment, decressed the net tax provision related to nonoperating income by $18,810,000.

The favorable resolution of an iwue concerning the appropriate year to recognize a property tax deduction resulted in an adjustment which reduced federal income tax expense in 1990 by $3,911,000 ($2.168.000 in the fourth quarter).

For tax purposes, net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $1M,049.000 are available to reduce future taxable income and will expire in 2003 through 2005. The 34% tax effect of the NOLs generated is

$55,777,000 and is reflected as a reduction to deferred federal income tax relating to accelerat< .1 depreciation and amorti7ation. Future utilization of these tax NOL carryforwards would result in recording the related deferred taxes.

The 1986 Tax Act provides for an AMT credit to be used to reduce the regular tax to the AMT level should the regular tax exceed the AMT AMT credits of $27,822.000 are wailable to offset future regular tax. The credits may be carried forward indefmitely.

with current IERC revenue reporting requirements, as discussed in the Summary of Sigm6 cant Accounting Policies. This restatement had no effect on earninp results for the applicable quarter. The unaudited quarterly results for the quarter ended March 31,1991 were also restated to reflect the change in accounting for nuclear plant depreciation to the straight-line method (at about a 3% accrual rate) as discussed in Note 12.

Earnings for the quarter ended December 31,1991 were increased as a result of year-end adjustments. A

$9,453,000 adjustment to reduce depreciation expense for the year for the change in the nuclear plant straight line depreciation rate to 2 5% (see Summary of Significant Accounting Pohcies and Note 12) was partially offset by an

$804,000 reduction in phase in carrying charges for the adjustment to 1991 cost deferrals (see Note 6). The total of these adjustments increased quarterly camings by $6,882,000.

Earnings for the quarter ended June 30,1990 were increased as a result or feoeral income tax expense adjuoments associated with deferred investment tax credits relating to the 1988 write-off of nuclear plant investment. See Note 7. The adjustments increased quarterly earnings by $17,907,000.

Eamings for the quarter ended December 31,1990 were decreased as a result of year-end adjustments. A

$13,933,000 reduction in phase-in carrying charges for the adjustment to 1990 cest deferrals (see Note 6) was partially offset by adjustments of $7,760.000 to reduce depreciation espense for the year for the change in depreciation rates for nonnuclear and Davis Besse property (see Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) and
