Alexander Grant;

& COMPANY MEMBER FIRM CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOt:NTANTS GRANT THORNTON INTERNATIONAL Municipal Light Commission of the City of Taunton Taunton, Massachusetts We have examined the balance sheet of Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant, (a department of the City of Taunton) as of December 31, 1983, and the related statements of

) earnings, surplus and changes in financial position for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

)

As discussed in note G, Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant records pension expense based on a formula determined by the Town; whereas, generally accepted accounting principles require the use of actuarial methods in determining annual pension expense.

In our opinion, except for the effect on the financial statements of the accounting policy discussed in the second i paragraph, the financial statements referred to above present

! fairly the financial position of the Taunton Municipal Lighting j

i Plant at December 31, 1983, and the results of its operations and changes in its financial position for the year then ended, i in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

The agreement is for a period of twelve years following the commencement of operations of Unit No. 9 on December 1, 1975.

Under the interconnection agreement, the City agrees to sell and Montaup agrees to purchase all capacity of Unit No. 9 not B utilized by the City with a maximum not to exceed 95 megawatts in the first year of operation and on a declining scale in subsequent years. It is estimated that by 1986 or 1987 Montaup will have purchased the maximum capacity allowed by law for sale to that utility. The Plant credited to sales for resale

$9,019,181 of capacity and energy charges billed to Montaup I Electric Company in 1983 for its share of power under the interconnection agreement.

NOTE D - COMMITMENTS - Continued Entitlements The Plant is a joint owner of the Seabrook Units 1 and 2 nuclear generating station located in Seabrook, New Hampshire. The lead participant in the project is Public Service Company of New Hampshire. The Plant's ownership share is .10034%.

Expenditures of $2,621,042 through December 31, 1983, are D

included in the Construction work-in-progress account. Several participants in the Seabrook Units have unsuccessfully attempted to bring about the cancellation of Unit 2. The Plant is unable to predict whether any action will be ordered by the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission or what effect such action, or any financing difficulties of PSNH or any other

> participant, may have on the cost of completion of the units.

It is estimated that Unit 1 will be completed in August, 1986.

The completion date of Unit 2 is uncertain Public at this time Company's Service because of the curtailment of construction.

latest estimates put the cost of building Unit 1 at $4.5 billion.

NOTE E - CONTINGENCIES Several contractors have initiated litigation to recover additional costs alleged to have been incurred during the construction of Unit No. 9. The Lighting Plant has disputed these claims which total approximately $282,000. Although it is not possible. to determine the outcome of this litigation, management ultimate of the Lighting Plant does not anticipate that the disposition of these suits, even if adversely decided, will have a p

material adverse effect on earnings or financial position of the Plant since such amounts would be capitalized to the cost of Utility Plant.

NOTE F - CASH Municipal Lighting Plant cash is in the custody of the City of Taunton Treasurer and is commingled with other city funds.

NOTE G - DEPARTURE FROM GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES B

Pension expense is not recorded in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which require, as a minimum, an annual provision equal to the total of normal cost of present employees under the plan, an amount equivalent to interest on any ,

unfunded prior service cost, and a provision for vested benefits.

Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED December 31, 1983 NOTE G - DEPARTURE FROM GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES -

Continued Instead, the Plant's pension expense is based on the current year

> contributions to the City's retirement fund and the Plant's retirement trust. The contribution to the City's retirement fund is based on the projected benefits to be paid during the year, while the contribution to the retirement trust is a straight-line funding of $350,000 per year for ten years. Due to the availability of funds, the Plant contributed $700,000 to the i retirement trust in 1983. The Plant's retirement trust is presently being actuarially viewed.

The effect on the accompanying financial statements of this departure from generally accepted accounting principles has not been determined.
