Deloitte& ToucheLLP Suite 645 Telephone:(217) 753-1375 First National Bank Building Facsimile:(217) 744-0193 Spnngheid, Illinois 62794-9428 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Board of Directors of Soyland Power Cooperative, Inc. and Subsidiary Decatur, Illinois We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Soyland Power Cooperative, Inc. and subsidiary (the " Cooperative") as of December 31,1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of revenues and expenses, of members' equities (deficit) and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Cooperative's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 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 management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Cooperative as of December 31,1995 and 1994, and the results ofits operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,1995 have been prepared assuming the Cooperative will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note I A. to the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors and management of the Cooperative have determined the Cooperative cannot operate on a long-term basis pursuant to the Superseding Debt Restructuring Agreement (see Note 5) and that w holesale power rates being charged by the Cooperative to its members must be reduced to a competitive level, w hich raises substantial doubt about the ability of the Cooperative to continue as a going concern. Management's plan with regard to this matter is also discussed in Note I A. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated February 29,1996 on our consideration of Soyland Power Cooperative, Inc.'s internal control structure and a report dated February 29,1996 on its compliance with laws and regulations. bl LN February 29,1996 UeloitteTouche Tohmatsu International

l Soyland Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31,1995 and 1994 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. Organization - The consolidated financial statements reflect the accounts of Soyland Power Cooperative, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Energy Systems of Illinois, Inc., ("the Cooperative"). The subsidiary was created in 1987 for the purpose of selling ground source heat pumps to rural consumers. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolida-tion. The Cooperative is a nonprofit organization engaged primarily in the generation and transmission of wholesale electric service to its twenty-one members located in central and southern Illinois. The Cooperative has entered into wholesale power agreements with each of its members which require the members to buy and receive from the Cooperative all of their power and energy requirements and require the Cooperative to sell and deliver power and energy in satisfaction of such requirements. The wholesale power agree-ments with the members extend to various dates from years 2015 to 2017. The Cooperative's rates are established by the Board of Directors and are subject to approval by the Rural Utilities Service ("RUS"). Wholesale power rates charged to members are determined based on cash requirements, including debt service requirements. The Cooperative is not subject to the regulatory authority of the Illinois Commerce Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabill-ties at December 31,1995 and 1994 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years then ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Basis offrcsentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction ofliabilities in the normal course of business. The Board of Directors and management believe the effect of deregulation and retail wheeling in the utility industry will significantly increase competition between the Cooperative and its competitors. The Board of Directors and management of the Cooperative have determined the Cooperative cannot operate on a long-term basis pursuant to the Superseding Debt Restructuring Agreement (see Note 5) and that wholesale power rates being charged by the Cooperative to its members must be reduced to a competitive level. The Cooperative is considering various alternatives in order to achieve competitive rates. These alternatives include the sale of all or a portion of the Cooperative's assets, renegotiation of power supply contracts, reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code, restructuring of debt and buy out of existing debt. The Board of Directors and management believe that without a competitive rate charged to its members the Cooperative will be unable to compete for a new load or maintain its existing load and, therefore, will have difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet debt service requirements and sustain operations. This difficulty, if not relieved by one or a combination of the aforementioned alternatives being considered, raises substantial doubt about the Cooperative's ability to continue as a going concern. All of the above alternatives are currently being considered by the Board of Directors and management as possible solutions. Implementation of any of the alternatives will have an impact on the Cooperative's financial statements. Management of the Cooperative has asserted that the Cooperative has sufficient cash flows for the 1996 fiscalyear to meet operating expenses and debt service requirements. Management has also asserted that the current wholesale power rates required under the terms of the Superseding Debt Restructuring Agreement will remain in effect pending the outcome of alternatives being considered. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification 35
Soyland of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification ofilabilities that might be necessary should the Cooperative be unable to continue as a going concern. B. Bas /s g(Acteunt/qg ne accounting records of the Cooperative are maintained in accordance with the Uniform System of Ac-counts prescribed by RUS. C. Electric Util/(y Plant - Depreciation of electric utility plant in service is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on the straight line basis at rates as follows: Production plant: Nuclear 2.5% Steam 3.1% 4.0% Gas turbine and diesel 2.0% Transmission plant 2.75% Distribution plant 3.0% J General plant 2.5% 20% i Based upon guidelines provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC"), which establish a minimum funding level, and in - conjunction with Illinois Ibwer (principal owner and operator of the Clinton nuclear generating facility - see Note 2), the Coopera-tive estimates that its portion of the costs to decommission the Clinton facility, which will not begin until the year 2027, will be approximately $57,200,000 (in 1995 dollars), A site-specific study to estimate the cost of dismantling, removing and disposing of the Clinton generating facility is nearing completion. This study is expected to result in projected decommissioning costs higher 3 than the NRC-specified funding level. The future decommissioning costs are being recovered over the life of the facility using the i sinking fund method. t in 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (*FASB") issued an exposure draft on accounting for liabilities related to closure and removal oflong-lived assets. This exposure draft would change the way the Cooperative accounts for nuclear decommissioning costs and fossil plant dismantling. ne exposure draft calls for recording as a liability the present value of estimated future cash flows to decommission nuclear power plants and dismantle fossil plants. Maintenance and repair of property and replacements and renewals of items determined to be less than units of property are charged to expense. Replacement and renewals ofitems considered to be units of property are charged to the property accounts. At the time properties are disposed of, the original cost, plus cost of removal less salvage of such property, is charged to accumulated depreciation. D. AllowanceforBorn7wedhnds UsedDuring Construction - The allowalce for borrowed funds used during the period of construc-i tion represents the estimated interest cost of borrowed funds used for construction purposes. The composite rate used to calculate 1 the allowance approximated 6.7% and 5.2% for 1995 and 1994, respectivesy. E. Nuclearhcl-he cost of nuclear fuel, including capitalized interest and overhead, is being amortized to fuel expense on the basis of the number of units of thermal energy produced in relation to the total thermal units expected to be produced over the life of the j fuel. Nuclear fuel expense includes a provision for estimated spent nuclear fuel disposal cost which is being collected currently from members and remitted to the U. S. Department of Energy (" DOE"), which is responsible for the disposal of the spent nuclear fuel. t The Energy Iblicy Act of 1992 established a fund to pay for the decontamination and decommissioning of three nuclear enrichment j facilities operated by DOE. A portion of the fund is to be collected from electric utilities that have purchased enrichment services from DOE. Each utility is being assessed an annual fee for a period of 15 years beginning in 1994. The Cooperative recorded a r regulatory asset and a liability representing an estimate of its total required contribution to this fund, as determined by DOE, related to the nuclear fuel used in the Clinton nuclear generating facility (See Notes 2 and 5). The regulatory asset is being ) 36
l Soyland l amortized to nuclear fuel expense and collected in rates charged to members. l l E Narketab/cSecuritics-Ikmmmissioning 7htst - In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.115 l " Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS No.115"). This statement requires that debt and equity securities be classified into one of three categories: held to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. The Coop:rative adopted SFAS No. ' i 115 effective January 1,1994, in accordance with the provisions of this statement, prior years' financial statements have not been restated. At January 1,1994, the adoption of SFAS No. I15 resulted in a $35,501 net unrealized holding gain being recorded in members' equities. All marketable debt and equity securities have been classified as available-for sale based on the Cooperative's intent and ability to sell the securities in response to changes in Interest rates, investment risk and the availability of and yield on alternative investments. In accordance with SFAS No.115, these securities are carried at fair value, with the net unrealized holding gains and losses excluded from eamings and reported as a net amount in a separate component of members' equities, until realized. The average cost method is used to compute realized gains or losses on the sale of securities. C. TemporaryInvestments - Temporary investments consist of an interest bearing sweep account an,d are stated at cost which approxi mates market. The Cooperative considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash ' equivalents. The Ccoperative's banking arrangements require the maintenance of a $100,000 compensating balance. //. Inventories - Inventories consist of fuel (including S02 allowances) and materials and supplies and are stated at moving average 1 cost. I. Ncmber Pnpayments - Member prepayments represent cash advances from members. The Cooperative uses these advances to pay down line-of-credit borrowings. The Cooperative pays interest on member advances at a rate lower than that on the line of-credit. Such interest payrr 'nts on member advances totaHed approximately $769,000 and $688,000 for the years ended December 31,1995 and 1994, respectively. /. IbwcrSupply Ityments - Fayments made under power supply agreements (see Note 8) are classified as purchased capacity, energy costs and transmission expense in the consolidated statements of revenues and expenses. K. liferredRcrenue-Deferred revenue consists of discounted advanced interest payments received on the Cooperative's National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation ("CFC") capital term certificates. Such payment was made by CFC to the Cooperative pursu-ant to the terms of the Superseding Debt Restructuring Agreement (see Notes 3 and 5). The amount of this deferred revenue will be amortized over the period during which it would have been earned (1995 through 1999). 1 L Presentation - Certain amounts reported for 1994 have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation. 1 37

Soyland 5. DEBT AND DEBT RESTRUCTURING Long-term debt at December 31,1995 and 1994, consists of the following: 1995 1994 Superseding Restructured Debt-Imputed interest at 4.2%, due in quarterly installments through 2018 $ 893,095,255 $ 906,836,968 CFC - variable rate (6.2% at December 31,1995) mortgage notes payable, due in various quarterly installments through 2006 49,387,640 49,387,640 RUS - 2% and 5% notes payable, due In quarterly installments through 2018 15,753,424 16,732,500 CFC - variable rate (6.2% at December 31,1995) capital addition loan notes payable, due in quarterly installments through 2022 14,947,853 U.

The Agreement related to approximately $944,756,000 of recorded, outstanding debt (including related accrued interest and certain interest credits) on vari-ous loans and previously restructured debt guaranteed by RUS. The loans and previously restructured debt were originally obtained to finance construction costs relating to the Clinton nuclear generating facility. Under the agreement, the debt was restructured into two notes payable to RUS: Note A for $730,596,406 and Note B for $363,982,707. Note A bears interest at 7.5% and is due in quarterly installments through 2018. Note B bears interest at 7.5% and requires the Cooperative to make annual Energy Sales Payments and Power Cost Savings Payments (for principal and interest) through 2029. The amount of the Energy Sales Payment is based on a load growth formula (as determined by tM Agreement) wNch will result in a payment if, and only if, future load growth is achieved. The amount of the Power Cost Savings Payment is based on a cost savings formula (as determined by the Agreement) and will result in payments if, and only if, power cost savings occur. To the extent that interest on Note B for any calendar year is not required to be paid, such unpaid interest is added to the unpaid principal balance of Note B. The amount of Note B not repaid by April 30,2029 will be forgiven. Management of the Cooperative projects stable growth and stable power costs in future years and therefore anticipates that payments under Note B will be minimal. At December 31,1995 and 1994, the Cooperative has accrued and charged to interest expense approximately $1,360,000 and $700,000, respectively, for Energy Sales Payments due April 30,1996 and 1995, respectively. There have been no Power Cost Savings Payments made, nor are there any due. The Cooperative has accounted for the restructuring in its financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.15, Accounting by Dchtors and Creditorsfor Troubled Debt Restructuring (*SFAS 15'), as a 40
Soyland 1 modification of terms. Under a modification of terms, the carrying value of the debt at the time of restructuring is not changed unless it exceeds the future cash payments, excluding amounts contingently payable, specified by the new terms. Future minimum cash I payments required under the terms of the Agreement totalled $1,586,205,000, excluding amounts contingently payable. Because of the contingent nature of the Cooperative's obligation to make principal and interest payments on Note B, only the required principal and interest payments on Note A were used at the date of the restructuring to impute the interest rate (4.2%) on the restructured debt. In accordance with SFAS 15, unpaid inteiest on Note B is added to the unpaid principal balance of Note B and not recorded in the accompanying financial statements. The amounts due on Note A and Note B, including amounts contingently payable, according to the terms of the debt restructuring plan discussed above, total $1,136,642,750 (Note A, $708,584,808, and Note B, $428,057,942, including unpaid interest) at December 31,1995. As part of a previous debt restructuring, dated March 29,1989, the Cooperative recorded $107,366,810 of prior period unpaid interest on that restructured debt. The Cooperative included $53,294,999 of this amount in electric plant (relating to the period the plant was under construction) and $54,071,811 as deferred interest. The deferred interest will be amortized and collected through rates over the life of the related debt restructured by the Agreement. Annual maturities oflong-term debt for each of the fiveyears subsequent to December 31,1995, are as follows: 1996, $26,487,572: 1997, $30,237,294; 1998, $26,655,808; 1999, $26,194,968: 2000, $34,691,319. The Cooperative had $15,000,000 of unadvanced funds available at December 31,1995 from long-term loans approved by CFC for capital additions and a $30,000,000 operating line of credit approved by CFC, of which $12,656,252 had been drawn down at December 31,1994. The interest rate on the CFC line of credit fluctuates monthly based on CFC's Intermediate-term Interest Rate (6.5% at December 31,1994). All assets of the Cooperative are pledged to secure the long-term debt to RUS and CFC. The Cooperative has not completed the management audit required by the " Management Consultant" provision of Section 5.01(q) of the Agreement and has not received a written walver of the requirement from RUS. The Cooperative has received written notice from RUS that RUS will not take action under the enforcement provisions contained in Section 2.10 of the Agreement through February 28,1996. Management expects to complete the management audit and believes no enforcement action will occur. 6. PENSION PLANS The Cooperative participates in a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan and a 401(K) defined contribution plan which covers substantially all employees. The Cooperative makes annual contributions to the plans equal to the amount accrued for pension expense. Total pension expense for both plans amounted to $156,166 and $197,801 for the years ended December 31,1995 and 1994, respectively. 7. INCOME TAX STA TUS The Cooperative is a nonprofit corporation organized under the Statutes of the State ofIllinois and is exempt from Federal and state income taxes under applicable tax regulations. Applied Energy Systems oflilinois, Inc. is subject to corporate income taxes. Income tax expense recorded by Applied Energy Systems ofIllinois, Inc. for the years ended December 31,1995 and 1994 totalled approxi-mately $79,000 and $114,000, respectively. 8. COMMITMENTS The Cooperative anticipates that the Clinton nuclear generating facility will furnish approximately 30% ofits energy requirements. The current and additional long-term energy requirements will be furnished through power supply agreements with Illinois Power Company ("IP") and Central Illinois Public Service Company ("CIPS") as discussed below. 41
Soyland The Cooperative *s share of nuclear fuel commitments for Clinton is approximately $3.4 million for uranium concentrates through 1998, $.9 million for conversion through 2002, $6.2 million for enrichment through 1999 and $28.2 million for fabrication through
- 2017, The Cooperative has contracted to purchase 435 MW ofcapacity annually from IP's fossil fueled generating plants through 2011.The Cooperative has committed to provide emission allowances related to its power supply agreement with IP lt is anticipated that all of these costs will be recoverable through rates charged to members.
The Cooperative has also contracted to purchase 102 MW of capacity annually from CIPS' fossil fueled units through 1999. In addition, the Cooperative has purchased transmission capacity from IP through 2011 and from CIPS through 2014. The contract payments to IP and CIPS are determined on an "as if owned" basis and include capacity charges (consisting of production, operation and maintenance costs) and energy charges. The approximate fixed capacity charges and energy cost data under these contracts for the years ended December 31,1995 and 1994 are as follows: IP CIPS Contracted Total fixed Contracted Total Fixed f Purchase Capacity Energy Purchase Capacity Energy Year Capacity Charges Costs capacity Charges Costs 1995 435 $ 29,400,000 $18,700,000 102 $ 18,500,000 $ 7,000,000 1 / 1994 288 18,700,000 24,700,000 206 26,700,000 6,600,000 At December 31,1995, the Cooperative had a 6.6% demand note receivable from IP for $6,000,000 for working capital advances related to the fossil-fueled plants under the power supply agreement described above. 9. CONTINGENCIES Under the Price-Anderson Act, as amended in 1988, all nuclear power station operators are subject to pubhc liability for a nuclear incident (currently limited to $8.9 billion per incident). Coverage of the first $200 million is provided by private insurance with the balance provided by retrospective premium assessments against each licensed nuclear unit in the United States. As a joint owner of the Clinton nuclear facility, the Cooperative is a party to the insurance policies which are maintained by Illinois Power Company (80.79% owner and operator of Clinton) and is charged for its proportionate share of such insurance costs. In the event of an incident at any nuclear plant in the United States in excess of $200 million, the Cooperative could be assessed a maximum of $10,500,000 per incident, with a maximum assessment of $1,300,000 per incident per year. IP maintains insurance on behalf ofIP and the Cooperative for certain losses related to the operation of Clinton. The insurance coverage limit for physical damage to the plant is $1.6 billion efTective December 15,1994. This insurance includes a primary layer of $500 million provided by nuclear insurance pools and an excess layer of $ 1. I billion provided by an industry-owned mutual i insurance company. in the event of an accident with an estimated cost of reactor stabilization and site decontamination exceeding $ 100 million, NRC regulations require that insurance proceeds be dedicated and used first to return the reactor to, and maintain it in, a safe and stable condition. After providing for stabilization and decontamination, the insurers would then cover property damage up to a total payout of $1.38 billion. Second, the NRC requires decontamination of the reactor station site in accordance with the plan approved by the NRC. The insurers would provide up to $220 million to cover decommissioning costs in excess of fands already collected for decommissioning. In the event insurance limits are not exhausted, the excess will cover a portion of the value of the undamaged property. In addition, while the Cooperative has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear accident at Clinton, if such an incident should occur, the claims for property damage and other costs would materially exceed the limit of current or available insurance coverage. 42
. - =. l Soyland l Multiple major losses, covered under the current property damage and business interruptions insurance coverage, involving Clinton would result in retrospective premium assessments of up to approximately $13 million. IP would allocate this assessment between l IP and the Cooperative based on their respective ownership interest in Clinton. The Cooperative is a defendant in various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Based on discussions with legal counsel, management believes that the final settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Cooperative's financial position or results of operations. During 1990, the U.S. Congress passed the clean Air Act of 1990 (the " Clean Air Act") which, among other things, promulgated certain emission standards within the electric utility industry. The Clean Air Act requires reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants and has two phases for compliance. Phase 1, which took effect January 1,1995, is not expected to have a signifkant impact on Cooperative operations related to Cooperative-owned plant. The impact of Phase !!, which is effective January 1,2000, has not been determined by Cooperative management. The impact of the Clean Air Act on purchased power could be significant. The Cooperative expects that any additional cost incurred will be recovered through rates charged to members. 10. DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Cooperative, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the esti-mates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Cooperative could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments: Assets Narketab/c securitics - decommissioning (nest - Trust investments are carried at fair value based on quoted market a prices for each specific investment instrument.
- Investments - The December 31,1995 and 1994 investment balances comprise the following:

soyland Fair value for investments is estimated as follows:
- 1. The Cooperative considers CFC capital term certificates to be a condition of borrowing and patronage capital to be directly related to borrowing. As described below, Cooperative management believes the fair value of the related debt is not determin-able and thus the fair value of the CFC capital term certificates is not determinable.
- 2. The carrying amount of these items is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
- 3. Management was not able to estimate the fair value of these investments which represent the Cooperative's investment in economic development companies.
- Cash and TemporaryInvestments The carrying amounts of these items are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments.
Liabilities
- Long-Term Debt - Due to all long term debt being either with or guaranteed by the United States Government and due to the unique nature of the debt instrument resulting from the debt restructuring, management believes the fair value of the Cooperative's debt is not determinable.
