Subject:

Licensee Guarantees of Payment of Deferred Premiums Cooper Nuclear Station NRC Docket No. 20 298. DPR 46 Centlemen:

In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 140.21, relative to deferred insurance premiums, the Nebraska Public Power District submits the following information which, we believe, demonstrates our ability to obtain funds in the amount of $10 million for payment of such pruniums within the specified three month period.

The Nebraska Public Power District has renewed a Credit Agreement, which is included as an enclosure, with the Amnrican National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago which indicates that said bank will lend the District funds, not to exceed $5 million as specifically reqaired to pay public liability claims arising from nuclear incidents. This Credit Agreement is valid through July 31, 1993, at which time the District will submit the appropriate documentation to verify

+he guarantee requirements for the following year.

Iowa Power under the terms of a power purchase contract, has acknowledged its responsibility to assume 50 percent of the retrospective premium requirements in an amount not to exceed $5 million in one year. Iowa Powe Ss chosen to utilize the type of guarantee defined in 10 CFR 140.21(e). There ;e, as enclosures to this letter, we are submitting the following documents in support of 50 percent of the required $10 million premium.

1. Iowa Power Inc. 1991 Annual Report to the Securities and Exchange Commission Form 10-K
2. Five Year Financial Forecast dated May,1991 for Midwest Ret ources, the holding company of Iowa Power.

We believe that the enclosed information is sufficient to demonstrate our ability to generate the necessary funds required by the deferred premium; however, should you require additional infr>rmation, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Note is issued under and pursuant'to .. _pter 70, Article 6, of the Revised Statutes of the dtate of Nebraska, as amended (the "Act"); and under and pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the

l to be made from the Electric Systou General Reserve Fund pursuant to Section 713 of the District's Power Supply System Revenue Bond

! Resolution, adopted by the Board of Directors of the District on

, September 9, 1972, as supplemented and amended in accordance with j the terms thereof.

1 l We are of the opinion that:

1 1. The District is duly created and validity existing under

, the provisions of the Act, with power to adopt the Note j Resolution, to enter into the Credit Agreement, to issue the Note i

! thereunder and to make and perform the covenants contained in the j i credit Agreement.

, 2. The Note Resolution has been duly adopted by the

! District, is in full force and effect and is valid and binding on I i the District and enforceable in accordance with its terms, and  !

i the credit Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by the i District, is in full force and effect, is valid and binding upon ,

the District and enforceable in accordance with its terms. I 1

j 3. The Note las been duly authorized and issued by the District in accordance with law and in accordance with the Noto

., Resolution and the Credit Agreement, and is a valid binding and i direct obligation of the District enforceable in accordance with its terms and entitled to the benefit of the Act and of the

! Credit Agreement.

I

4. The Internal Rever*te Code of 1506 as amended (the
" Code") sets forth certain lequirements which must be met'sub-sequent to the issuance and delivery of the Note for interest
thereon to be and remain excluded from gross income for purposes l of federal income taxation. Noncompliance with such requirements l may cause interest on the Note to be included in gross income retroactivo to the date of issue of the Note. The District has covenanted to comply with such requirements.

l In our opinion, under existing law, and assuming compliance I with the aforementioned covenant, interest on the Note is ex-cluded from groLs income for federal-and State of Nebraska income

. tax purposes. The Note is not a "specifitd private activity bond" within the meaning of Section 57(a) (5) of the Code and, therefore, the interest of the Note will not be treated as a preference item for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed by Section 55 of the Code. However, we note

- a portion of the interest _on the Note owned by corporations may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax, which is based in part on adjusted current earnings.

RETIREMERI' PLANS The Iowa Pcwer Inc. Salaried Employees' kefirement income Plan (Retirement Plan) provides for payment of fixed pension benefits to persons who retire after a specified age and number of years of service, based on average annual salary during the five highest paid consecutive years out of the last ten years prior to retirement. All of the officers named in the compensation table panicipate in the Retirement Plan.

MWR maintains an unfunded Supplemental Retirement Plan (Supplemental Plan) to provide additional retirement benefits to cenain ofdcers of IPR as determined by the MWR Board of Directors.

The Supplemental Pian covers all of the officers named in the ccmpensation table.- Part A of the Supplemental Plan pmvides retirement benefits up to 65% of a panicipant's highest annual salary duririg the five years prior to retirement reduced by the participant's Retiremerit Plan bene'it. The percentage applied is based on years of credited service. A participant who takes early .etirement is entitled to reduced benefits under the plan. A survivor benefit is payable to a surviving spouse. Part '

B of the Supplemental Plan provides that an additional 150% of annual salary is to be paid out to participants at the rate of 10% per year over 15 years, except in the event of a panicipant's death, in which event the unpaid balance would be paid to the participant's beneficiary or estate, c

Benefits from the Supplemental Plan will be paid out of general corporate funds. Midwest I Resources maintains life insurance on nanicipants in amounts actuarially determined to be sufficient to fund all of tue future liabilities unau the Supplemental Plan. Midwest Resources through a trust is both owner and bcneficiary of all such life insurance. The Supplemental Plan has been designed so that if the assumptions made as to mortality experience, policy dividend, tax credits and other factors are realhed Midwest Resources will recover fully its premium and benefit payments over the life of the' Supplemental Plan. Deferred compensation is considered pan of the salary covered by the Supplemental Plan.

The table below shows the estimated aggregate annual benefit payable (for the first 15 years of retirement) under the Supplemental Plan and the Retirement Plan.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CORPORATE STRUCTURE lowa Power Inc. (IPR or Company) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midwest Resources Inc. (MWR), a holding company which was formed on November 7,1990, through the merger of Iowa Resources Inc. (IOR) and Midwest Energy Company (MWE). IPR was previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of IOR and currently provides electric service to 254,000 customers in Iowa.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Electric Revenue increase (Decrease) from Prior Year 1991 1990 (In Millions) '

Sales volume ..... $18.8 $8.8 Rates - . . . . . . . . . . (3.0) 3.8 Cost of energy ..., (2.5) (13.2) '

Other . . . . . . . , , , (2,5) 0.4 Total ..... $10.8 $(0.2)-

- 1991 Compared to 1990 The Company continues to experience growth in both customers and usage per customer, especially for residential and small general service customers. Electric revenues increased 2.9 percent ever 1990.

A 50.4 percent decrease in allowance for funds (AFUDC), an increase in maintent.nce expenses and in property taxes and costs recorded for a reorganization and stafling plan (including an enlanced voluntary early retirement and a severance plan) announced in 1991 were major reasons for Eamings on Common Stock

". decreasing $4.1 million to $36.6 million.

Electric sales to jurisdictional customers increased 4.5 percent to 5.6 billion kWh for 1991, Residential-

.and small general service customer sales volumes increased 7.7 percent and 9.4' percent, re:pectively, due to customer growth and increases of 6.6 percent and 8.3 percent, respectively, in usage per customer. :'Ihe primary cause of these increases was colder temperatures during the heating season and wanner temperatures during the cooling season compared to 1990. Sales to large general service customers decreased 2.5 percent.

Overall, the impact of these items was an hicrease in resenues of $18.8 million. .

2

- The Company's sales for resale were 10.3 percent lower than 1990, resulting in a $2.5 million decrease in revenues An extended outage at Cooper Nuclear Station in 1991 and increased sales to jurisdictional customers reduced the amount of energy available for sales for resale.

Although generation at Company-owned facilities increased. Fuel for Generation decreased sligh:.y'due to lower coal and transporta: ion costs. Nuclear Power PurchasadLwas $0.6 million lower than-1990 due to a de"rease in fuel costs resulting from the outage. Other Operating Expenses increased 10.9 percent, or $6.3 1 million. Expenses related to the early retirement and severance plans and increases in information systems,-

- marketing, demand side management and outside services expenses accounted for $3.5 million of the increase.

'Also contributing to the increase were transmission and distribution and electrical engineering expenses.

  • These increases were partially offset by decreased costs of the merger of MWE and IOR.

-19 Y.

Maintenance expenses were 17.7 percent greater than 1990 prit'arily due to unplanned maintettance at generating stations and the timing of mgularly scheduled generator and boiler plant overhauls. Depreciation and Amonization increased 6.8 percent due to an increase in depreciable plant in service. General Taxes were $3.2 million, or 11.4 percent, over 1990 mostly due to increases in propeny assessment values and the average mill levy.

AFUDC decreased $2.6 million compared to 1990. Construction of two combustion turbines, placed in service in mid 1990, and a new energy center, placed in service in mid-1991, resulted in a significant decrease in the construction balance on which AFUDC is computed. In addition, the use of low-cost, shon-term financing caused equity AFUDC to drop substantially.

1990 Compared to 1989 In 1990, Eamings on Common Stock decreased $1.7 million to $40.7 million compared to 1989.

  • Sales of electricity to jurisdictional customers for 1990 exceeded 5.3 billion kWh, an increase of

.approximately 2.8 percent over the pior year. Sales to small general service and large general service cus'9mers increased 6.7 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively, due to the improved economy of the service territory. Sales to residential customers decreased 0.3 percent. Increases due to a 1.1 percent customer growth were partially offset by the effect of mild weather conditions during the first and fourth quaners.

Sales for resale increased 10.8 percent during 1990, representing continued deliveries under existing bulk i

power sales contracts and an increase in available energy, Although total sales of electricity increased 4.6 percent, Fuel for Generation decmased $3.1 million, or 5.7 percent, due to lower coal and transponation costs. An increase in energy available from Company-o .ned faciliues and Cooper Nuclear Station resulted in a decrease of $3.6 million, or 43,9%, for Power Purchased and Interchanged. Other Operating Expenses increased 2.6 percent due to $2.1 million of costs related to the merger of MWE and IOR. Maintenance expenses increased 20.7 percent due to overhauls of the Company's generating units and to repair of power lines damaged by the March 1990 ice storm. Depreciation expense increased 9.5 percent due to an increase in depreciable plant in service. General Taxes increased 6.9 percent because of increases in pmpeny assessment values and in the t.verage mill levy.

4 Increased construct'.on activity related to a new energy center and two combustion turbines during 1990 was the primary cause of a $1.6 million increase in AFUDC.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Capital resources of the Company are derived primarily from funds generated fmm current operations, shon.

term borrowings, long-term borrowings and equity financing. These capital resources provide funds required

.$ for current operations, debt interest and retirement, dividends, convruction expenditures and other capital requirements.

At December 31,1991, the Company's material sources of liquidity included current assets of $107 million and bank lines of credit of $86 million.

In December 1991, the Company issued $50 million of long-term debt to replace short-term borrowings.

The Company has property of approximately $291 million which can be used to support future long-term borrowings.

Short-term debt, which increased during the first three quaners of 1991 primarily because of the Company's g

construction programs was refinanced with long-term debt and a contribution from MWR during the fourth quaner. The increase in short term debt, offset partially by lower interest rates, was the primary cause of an increase of $0.6 million or 19.1 percent. in Other Interest Charges compared to 1990. Interest on Long-term Debt decreased $0.4 million, or 1.5 percent, compared to the prior year.

=

___._.__m.___ m _ ..__.m_.____

The Company's policy is to be ht position to access the capital markets whenever market conditions are appmpriate to replace short-term borrowings, refinance higher cost debt and preferred equities and finance capital expenditures. In 1992 the Company intends to file a shelf registration with the SEC for the issuance of up to $100 million of long-term debt.

The Company's access to extemal capital and its cost of capital are influenced by the credit ratings of its secunties. The Company's latest credit ratings are as follows:

Moody's Fitch Investors Standard Investors Service & Poor's Jervice First Mertgage Bonds A2 A A

, Preferred Stocks a3 A A-Commercial Paper P-1 N/R F-1 Due to the differences in the securities ratings of IPR and IPS, the consummation of the utdity merger

.is expected to have an effect on the current ratings. The rating agencies have informed the Company and the investment community of the potential changes ta its current ratings after the merger is consummated. Standard i

& Poor's has indicated that IPR's ratings 1. ave been placed on review with posit 'e implications. The merged utility's securities indicated ratings would be "A+" (senior debt), "A" (prdx.x stock) and " Al" (commercial paper). Fitch investors Service has placed IPS's first mortgage bonds on review with negative implications and IPR's preferred stock on review with positive implications. Indicated ratings for the merged utility's se:urities would be "A" (senior debt), "A" (preferred stock) and "F-1" (commercial paper). Moody's investors Service has placed its credit ratings of the securitie: of IPS under review for possible downgradt., The merged utility's preferred stock indicated rating should be an "a3" and indicated debt rating would be "A2".

Commercial paper rating should be unchanged at "P-1".

The above ratings reflect only the views of such rating agencies and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Generally, rating agencies base their ratings on information fumished to them by the issuing company and on investigation, studies and assumptions by the rating agencies. There.is no assurance that any panicular rating will continue for any givea period of time or that it will not be changed or withdrawn entirely if in the judgment of the rating agency circumstances so warrant. Such ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities.

The following is a summary of the meanings of the ratings shown above and the relative rank of the Company's rating within each agency's classification system.

Moody's top four long-term debt ratings (Aaa, Aa, A and Baa) are generally considered " investment grade,"

Obligations which are rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes and are considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but 1 elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future. A numerical

, modifier ranks the security within the colegory with a "1" indicating the high end, a "2" indicating the mid-range and a "3" indicating the low end of the category. Standard & Poor's top four long-term debt ratings (AAA, AA, A and BBB) are considered " investment grade". Debt rated "A" has a strong capacity to pay.

interest and repay principal although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories. Fitch Investors Service considers the top four long-term debt ratings (AAA, AA, A and BBB) as " investment grade," Fitch's "A" rated bonds are considered to be of good quality. The issuers ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions than bonds with higher ratings. A plus (+) or minus (-) sign is used after Standard & Poor's and Fitch ratings to designate the relative position of a credit o

withiri the rating category.

Ratings of preferred issues are an indication of the company's ability to pay the preferred dividend and -

any sinking fund obligations on a timely basis. Moody's top four preferred stock ratings (aaa, aa, a and b are generally considered " investment grade." Moody's "a" rating is considered to be an upper-medium preferred stock. Eamings and asset protection are expected to be maintained at adequate levels in the foreseeable future. Standard & Poor's top four prefened stock ratings (AAA, AA, A and BBB) are considered

" investment grade." Standard & Poor's "A" rating indicates adequate earnings and asset protection. Fitch's top four preferred stock ratings (AAA, AA, A and BBB) are generally considered " investment grade".

"A" rating is considered gaod quality. Asset protection and coverage of preferred dividends are considere adequate and are expected to be maintained.

Moody's top thn:e commercial paper ratings (P 1 P-2 and P 3) are generally considered " investment Issuers rated "P-1" have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations and repayment ability is often evidenced by a conservative capitalization structure, broad margins in camings coverage financial charges and well established access to a range of ftnancial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity. Standard and Poor's commercial paper ratings are a current assessment of the likelihood of

? payment of debt having an original maturity less than 365issues days.ratedTheAltop threethat indicate Standard & Poor's c the degree

' paper ratings (Al, A2 and A3) are considered " investment grade."

of safety regarding timely payment is either overwhelming or very strong. Those issues determined to posses overwhelming safety are denoted with a plus (+) sign designation. Fitch's commercial paper ratings are assigned at the request of the issuer to debt obligations with an original maturity not in excess of 270 days.

An "F-1" commercial paper rating is regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment.

Consolidated cash capital expenditures, including Coope- Nuclear Station capital improvements, were $66 million for 1991. The Company believes its capital resources and liquidity are sufficient to meet its cuntnt and projected requirements. See the discussion of planned capital expenditures in Prospective Informatio PROSPECTIVE INFORMATION The Company's results 'of operations are significantly influenced by weather conditions, the general economic conditions of the service territory and the ability to recover costs through the regulatory process.

The addition of new customers indicates general economic conditions continue to improve in the Company's service territory.

,a In late January 1992, the Company filed a notice with the Iowa Utilities Board (IUB) of its intention to file for an electric rate increase during the first quarter of 1992. Increasing nuclear expenses are a significant reason for the IPR electric rate case of 1992. While the Company expects nuclear expenses will continue to increase substantially over the next few years, the Company believes that such increases will not have a material impact on its financial position or its results of operations based on the historical inclusion of such expenses in the ratemaking process. The outcome of this ;ase will have an impact on the Company's revenues and camings for future periods (See Foomote (19)).

- The Company is allowed current recovery from retail and wholesale customers for fuel and purchased power costs through the energy adjustment clause. The clause reduces the impact of changes in cost on Company.

The Company's management annually reviews long-range capital expenditure needs. Based upon such a review, the Company has planned cash capital expenditures of $76 million for 1992. Estimated cash capitas.

expenditures for the years 1993 through 1995 are $248 million. The Company has not included any of the capital expenditures for the repowering project discussed below in its long-range capital plan amounts for 1 through 1995. Through the next five years, the Company has adequate base load generating reserves, inclu 2 capacity under contract, to meet its energy demands.

9 The Depanment of Energy (DOE) has entered into a cooperative agreement for a mpowering project of the Company's Des Moines Energy Center (DMEC). The DMEC, which closed in 1985, is the site' chosen to demonstrate a developing coal-buming technology believed to be substantially cleaner and more efficient than technologies now in use. The DOE committed to provide approximately $93 million, or about half the cost of the project. Nearly all of the remaining costs will be paid by the Company, as the general panner, with small contributions to the project from key vendors and a limited panner.

The Company curmntly has been granted funding for budget period #1 of Phase I which covers the period September 1991 through August 1992. The Company has no material capital commitments associated with budget period #1. If the pmject proceeds as expected and DOE funding is awarded under budget period #2, the Company's obligations could be as much as 59.6 million over the twelve-month period ending in August 1993. Phase 2 the construction period, could obligate the Company to an additional $62.5 million over a.

twenty-three month period (19941996.)

The cooperative agreement may be terminated unilaterally or by mutual agreement per the contract. In addition, the DOE is obligated to pay its share of all noncancellable obligations properly incurred by the Company before the effective date of any termination.

The Company's customers will continue to realize savings over the next several years as a result of mnegotiated coal supply and rail transportation contracts. The coal supply contract, which became effective July 1989, will reduce fuel costs through January 1993. The renegotiated rail transponation contract will continue to reduce the cost of transporting coal through 1997.

The Company's current fuel mix for installed capacity is 54 percent coal,22 percent oil and gas and 24 percent nuclear. No significant changes in the fuel mix are planned through 1994.

As a user of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB's), the Company is subject to govemmental regulations penaining to the use, handling and proper disposal of PCB's. The Company is involved as one of several parties in a cleanup at one site and has been notified by the EPA that it is being considered one of several potentially responsible panies at a second site. The Company has also notified the EPA with respect to a PCB incident at one if its propenies.

The Company's coal-fired generating units are minimally affected by the provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. By the year 2000, some coal-fired generating units will be required to install controls to reduce emissions of nitmgen oxides. The cost of these controls is expected to be nominal (see footnote 14).

Legislation enacted in Iowa in 1990 requires electric and gas utilities, beginning in 1992, to spend 2 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively, of their annual lowa jurisdictional mvenues on demand side management activities (effons to improve customer energy efficiency). The legislation permits periodic recovery of these costs so long as the utility's demand side programs are cost effective or,if not cost effective, so long as the utility was i

prudent and reasonable in the planning and implementation of the programs. Under the legislation, the utilities

( are also eligible for a monetary reward or subject to a monetary penalty depending upon the cost effectiveness ,

of the overall demand side management effort.

On June 6,1991 MWR announced a plan to merge IPS and IPR, its two wholly-owned subsidiary utility companies. The result will be a single utility company with approximately 412,000 electric customers and approximately 363,000 gas customers in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota. The proposed merger mquires various approvals, including approval of the transaction by the preferred shareholders. The IUB and the Minnesota Public Utiliues Commission approved the merger on December 23,1991, and January 21,1992, respectively. The Company and IPS filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

(FERC) for approval under the Federal Power Act on December 17, 1991. The Company anticipates a FERC decision within the next 12 months.

l l

As part of the application filed with the IUB, the Company and IPS provided testimony projecting total merger related savings of $89 million for the periods 1992 through 2001. The effect of any such reduced expenses could be' offset by increases in other utility expenses; reduced revenues due to moderate weather or economic conditions in the IPS and Ccmpany service territories, or for other reasons; or the treatment of such reduced expenses by regulatory authorities in the establishment of rates the utilitics are pennitted to charge their customers for electric and gas services. In current rate proceedings, the Company and IPS are proposing a sharing of any savings exceeding the cost of the merger on an equal basis between shareholders and customers.

The Company is unable to assure 1) that proper and acceptable regulatory appmvals of the merger will be obtained and, if obtained, the timing of such approvals; 2) the ultimate achievement of the projected savings included in the filed testimony; or 3) the outcome of the proposed sharing, if any, of savings from the regulatory proceedings.

As a further step towards the realignment of utility services, MWR announced on October 23,1991, that a voluntary early retirement program was being offered to salaried employees of IPR and IPS who were age 55 or older by December 31, 1991, regardless of length of service with the companies. There were 100 t

i employees, of which 44 were IPR employees, who elected retirem:nt under this plan. Since the Company is looking for greater reductions in the number of salaried positions than the early retirement program and normal attrition pmduced, additional reductions are required. A comprehensive separation plan, including outplacement assistance and severance benefits, has been developed for employees whose jobs are eliminated and who cannot be placed in other suitable jobs within MWR, MWR has identified additional salaried positions that will be eliminated as a result of the separation plan (see footnote 7).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1)

SUMMARY

t)F SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

(a) Corporate Organ 17ation and Principles of Consolidation:

lowa Power Inc. (Company or IPR) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midwest Resources Inc.

(MWR), a holding company. IPR provides electric service to 254.000 customers in 125 lowa communities.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all subsidiaries after climination of significant intercompany accounts and transactions.

In 1991 the Company began reponing off system sales as Operating Revenues rather than as a reduction to Power Pun.hased and Inteichant;cd.

Prior year amounts have been icclassified on a basis consistent with the 1991 presentation.

(b) Recognition of Revenues and Costs:

Utility revenues are recorded based on service tcadered to the end of the month. Acented unbilled revenues are $13,827,000 and $15,595,000 at December 31,1991 and 1990, respectively, and are included in Receivables on the Consolidated 11alance Sheets.

The majority of the Company's electric revenues are subject to an adjustment clause. This clause allows the Company to adjust the amounts charged for electric service as the costs of fuel for generation or purchased power change. 'Ihe costs recovered in revenues thmugh use of the adjustment clause are charged to expense in the same period.

(c) Depreciation and Amortization:

The Company's pmvisions for depreciation and amonization are based on straight line composite rates. The composite rate for 1991,1990 and 1989 was 3.7%

Utility plant is stated at original cost, which includes overheads, administrative costs and an allowance for funds used during construction.

The cost of repahs and minor replacements is charged to maintenance expense. Property additions and major property replacements are charged to plant accounts. Utility property retired or-g disposed of in the normal course of business is charged to accumulated provisions for depreciation,less net salvage credits, (d) Incon'c Taxes:

The Company provides defen d income taxes for all differences in the timing of income and expense except where such defened income taxes are not allowed by regulatory agencies as an expense for rate purposes, income tax expense related to these transactions is included in tne period in which

- the taxes become payable. The estimated cumulative net amount of defened taxes which has not been provided for as .of December 31,1991, is $57 million. primarily- related to depreciable assets.

  • Investment tax credits have been deferred and are being amoitized over the life of the related propeny.

31-a

The Financial Accounting Standards lloard (FASil) issued a new accounting standard which requires an asset and liability approach for Dnancial accounting and reporting for income taxes rather than the deferred method. The FASil has announced mat the effective date will be for fiscal years beginning after December 15,1992. The Company anticipates adoption in 1993 on a restatement basis.

llecause of rate regulation, the adoption of Re new standard will result in the recording of additional regulato:y assets and liabilities of approxi.wely $96 million with no material impact on camings in the year of adoption.

(c) Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:

The Company considers all cash and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents for purposes of the Consoi6ted Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash paid for interest and income taxes for the years ended December 31 was as follows (in thousands); 1 1

(2) RETIREMENT PLANS:

'the Company has non-contributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all employees. The benefit formulas are ba3cd on employees' years of service and individual camings.

The Company generally uses the aggregate actuarial cost method to detennine annual funding requirements. Under this meti:od, there is no unfunded prior service cost. The excess of the pitsent value of projected benefits over plan assets i: funded as a level percentage of covered paymil. IPR has been allowed to recover funding contributions in rates. Tlv plan assets are stated at fair market value and are composed of insurance contracts, federal government debt and corporate equity securities.

Net periodic pension cost includes the following components for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

Consolidated Balance Sheets . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides certain .calth care and life insurance berv, fits for retired employees. Under the current plan substantially all of the Company's employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for the Company. Ilowever, the Company retains the right to change these benefits anytime at its discretion.

The cost of retirce health care and life insurance benefitt. is recognized as an expense as claims or premiums are paid. These costs amounted to $1,501.000 for 1991, $1,856,000 for 1990 and $1,040,000 for 1989.

In December 1990, the FASB issued a standard, FAS 106, on accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions. This standard sequires that the expected cost of these benefits be charged to expense during the years that the employees render service. This is a significant change from the Company's current method of recognizing these costs on the claims or premiums paid basis. The Company is required to adopt the new accounting ar.d disclosure rules no later than 1993, although $

earlier implementation is pennitted, and may adopt the new standard prospectively or use a cumulative catch-up adjustment.

The Company expecu to prospectivel) adopt the new standard by January 1,1993 and plans ta amonize the discounted present value of the obligation at that date to expense over a 20-year period.

The estimated accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and the estimated net periodic costs as defined under FAS 106 are appmximately $30 million and $4 million, respectively.

The Company has previously been allowed rate recovery on these postretirement benefits on '

a claims or premiums paid basis. In future rate proceedings tht. Company is requesting recovery of costs on a FAS 106 accrual basis. The Company is unable to predim the regulators

  • acceptance of the accmal basis. If the Company is successful in its request, there would be no material impact on  :

camings as a result of adopting this pronouncement.

(3) LONG TERM POWER PURCilASE CONTRACT:

Under a long-term power purchase contract with the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD),

expiring in 20N, IPR buyr, one half of the output of the 778 megawatt Cooper Nuclear Station (Cooper). He Consolidated Balance Sheets include a liability for the Company's fixed ob!!gation to pay 50% of NPPD's Nuclear Facility Revenue Bonds. A like amount representing the Company's right to purchase Cooper power is shown as an asset.

Monthly payments to NPPD cover one-half of the fixed and operating costs of the plant (excluding depreciation but including debt service) and the Company's share of nuclear fuel costs (including nuclear fuel disposal) based on energy delivered. The debt service ponion on a monthly basis appmximates $1.5 million and is not contingent uprn the plant being in operation. Payments also include amounts to maintain various funds and reserves which art anticipated to be available for plant decommissicving costs. NPPD has filed a decommissioning plan with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and established an extemal trust for nuclear decommissianing funds. As of December 31, 1991, the Company's share of planned decommissioning costs is approximately

$60,650.000 in 1990 dollars. $7,608,000 har been funded. Nuclear power purchased in the Consolidated Statements of Income reflects such chalf,es. We debt amonization component of the Company's payments to NPPD was $8,455,000, $7,990,000 v.J $7.550,000 and the uct interest component was $6.600,000, $6,811,000 and $6,929,000 each for the years 1991,1990 and 1989, respectively Current maturities of the power purchase contract obligation are $8,948,000, $9,470,000,

$10,038,000, $10,638,000 and $11,273,000 for 1992,1993,1994,1995 and 1996, respectively.

Capital improvement costs for new propeny, including carrying costs, are being deferred, amonized and recovered in utes over the term of the NPPD contract. Capital improveme ut costs for propeny replacements, including carrying costs, art being deferred, amortized and recovered in rates over a five year period.

NPPD has pnmary and excess propeny insurance for Cooper in the amount of $1.3 billion, and the Company purchases $625 million of excess pmpeny coverage directly from a mutual insurance -

company. The combination of insurance programs pmvides the Company coverage for its 50% share of losses up to $2.515 billion. Currently, this is the maximum available coverage. Under NRC rules, the required excess propeny insurance must be used to pay the co.t <

of any obligation to decontaminate the facility and remove debris befo,e any other claims for pmperty damage in the event of an accident at any of the mutual company members insured nuclear plants, the Company would be subject to a retmspective maximum additional premium of approximately $2.6 million. The Company also purchases insurance coverage from the mutual insurance company for increased costs of generation and purchased power in the event of an accidental outage at Cooper.

NPPD purchases nuclear liability insurance in the amount of $200 million. In accordance with

  • the Price-Anderson Amendments Ac; of 1988, excess liability coverage is provided by a mandatory industry-wide program under which the owners of nuclear generating facilities could be assessed for liability incurred due to a serious nuclear incident at any commercial nuclear reactor in the United States. The Company's 50% share of the maximum amount of such an assessment would be $31.5 million per incident, payable in annual installments of not more than $5 million. Ilowever, an additional assessment of no more than 5% of this amount may be payable if the public liability claims and legal costs arising from a nuclear incident at an indemnified facility exceed the Price Anderson financial protection.
  • - An industry wide policy with an aggregate limit of $200 million for the nuclear industry as a whole is in effect to cover tort claims of workers as a result of radiation exposure on or after January 1, 1988, The Company's share of a maximum retrospective premium adjustment would be approximately $1.3 million.

~' (14) ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS:

The Company's coal fired generating units are minimally affected by the Phase i provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA). These generating units cunently meet the new CAA sulfur dioxide emission rate standards by buming low sulfur Wyoming coal. Additional emission rate reductions will not be required to achieve compliance. The Company estimates that sufficient emission allowances will be allocated on a system wide basis for its units to operate at the capacity factors needed to meet system energy requirements.

Once established, the numb:r of emission allowanct a allocated and any pro rata reductions in those allowances will determine the extent, if any, to which sales for resale will be restricted. By the year 2000, some Company coal fired generating units will be required to intall controls to reduce emissions of nitmgen oxides. The cost of thcsc controls is expected to be nominal. Essentially all utility generating units are subject to CAA provisions which address continuous emission monitoring, permit requirements and fees, and emission of toxic substances.

The costs to achieve compliance with these provisions are expected to be nominal.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing sttndards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. - An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by managem.:nt, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits pmvide a reasontble basis for our opinion.

In our ophion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Iowa Power Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31,1991 and 1990, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the tlute years in the period ended December 31,1991. in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
