Coal, already a steady performer in CPS' fuels mix, satisfied 36.9% of San Antonio's 1986-87 electric requirements, a lesser percen-tage than in previous years. This is due to avail-ability ofless-expensive gas for generation, CPS purchase of 398.4 million KWII this year at a

A new type of energy survey was aho initiated in 1986 to help area farmers and ranchers manage their energy consumption more efficiently. The Rural and Agricultural Audit Program (RA AP) is designed to assess the specialised energy usye patterns of farms and ranches and suF8est methods for controlling energy costs. CPS' agribusiness energy audit i
program was the first of its kind in Texas.
I Wise use of natural gas and ekdricity applies not only to energy efficiency but also to safety. CPS' Public Safety Awareness programs were presented to schools, civic and social

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES j Basis of Accounting City Public Service ("CPS") uses the accrual method of accounting based upon the Uniform System of Accounts for Gas and Electric Utilities issued by the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners. Fiscal Year The fiscal year ended January 31, 1988 is re-ferred to herein as 1988 and the year ended January 31, 1987 as 1987. Revenues and Expenses Revenue is recognized as billed on a I cycle basis. Rate schedules include fuel and gas cost adjust-ment clauses that permit recovery of fuel and gas costs in the month incurred. CPS charges to expense the cost of electric production fuel in the period that it is consumed and the cost of resale gas in the period of purchase. = j' Utility Plant These assets are stated at the cost of construction, including costs of contracted services, direct material and
- labor, indirect
- costs, including general g
engineering, labor and material overhead, and an allowance for to interest used during construction ("AIUDC"). CPS computes AIUDC using rates representing 'the cost of borrowed funds on projects estimated to cost l'n excess of one million dollars and 0 expected to require more than one year to complete. Retire,- ments of utility
- plant, together with removal cost less
- salvage, are charged to accumulated depreciation.
The q maintenance of property, and replacement and renewals of items g determined to be less than a unit of property, are charged to maintenance expense. General utility plant assets consist of land, buildings, and equipment for general and administrative l purposes that are used commonly in electric and gas operations. CPS computes depreciation using the straight-line method over 1 the estimated service lives of the various classes of depre-W ciable property as determined by periodic engineering studies. Depreciation as a percentage of average depreciable plant was 3.08% in 1988 and 3.07% in 1987. Contributions in aid of construction are amortized over a period equal to the lives of the related assets, ,f Other Restricted Cash These amounts consist primarily of lunds being held in escrow as required under contracts with a q gas supplier and a public housing authority, and other funds not generally available for current operations.

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Investments - Investments are stated at cost which approximates market value. The specific identification method is used to determine cost in computing gain or-loss on sales of securities. Amortization of premium and accretion of discount is recorded over the term of the investment. } Deferred Debits and Other - These amounts consist primarily of 1 the unamortized balances of bond issuance expenses and excess of reacquisition amounts over revenue bond principal amounts I refunded in advance. Amortization is recorded over the period 1 of the outstanding bonds. 2. CASH, TEMPORARY CASH INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENTS CPS deposits at January 31, 1988 and 1987 were entirely J collateralized by banks for the account of CPS. CPS' 1 investments, including both restricted and unrestricted, at January 31, 1988 and 1987, were all in U.S. Treasury securities and were beld at the Board's general depository bank for the f account of ' CPS. CPS' investments are generally limited to U. S. Government obligations. ( Fully collateralized cash and certificates of
- deposit, including restricted amounts of
$11.0
- million, were
$20.1 million at January 31, 1988. Investments in U. S. Government obligations, including restricted amounts of $346.7 million, were $375.3 million with a market value of $375.7 million at January 31, 1988. l 3. REVENUE BOND INDENTURE REQUIREMENTS The Trust Indenture executed by the City of San Antonio (the ~ "City") in conjunction with the issuance of the revenue bonds dated February 1, 1951 through August 1,
- 1974, "Old Series Bonds," contains, among others, the f ollot'ing provisions:
n y1 1) All of the assets of the gas and electric systems, together with the net revenues of the systems, as defined, are pledged with the Harris Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, h Illinois, as Corporate Trustee, to secure the payment o.f the "Old Series Bonds." q1 2) Gross revenues of the gas and electric system shall be j applied to: (a) expenses of operating and maintaining the systems; (b) debt service and reserve requirements on the "Old Series Bonds"; (c) payment of an "in lieu of tax"

J CITY pVF.LIC SERVICE 4 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 31, 1988 and 1987 3. REVENUE BOND INDENTURE REQUIREMENTS (continued) 2) amount to the City; (d) an amount equal to 12-1/2% of gross revenues to the Improvements and Contingencies Fundi (e) additional benefits and payments to the City to bring City } benefits and payments to 14% of grosa revenues; (f) addi-tional payments to the Improvements and Contingencies Fund until such fund equals 20% of the value of fixed capital 7 assets; and (g) balance to a surplus fund. ~ 3) The following funds are established: (a). General Fund; (b) Improvements and Contingencies Fund; (c) Bond Construction ] Fund (containing the procneds of revenue bonds); (d) Principal and Interest Current Requirements (containing the monthly payments of annual debt requirements), and (e) Bond ? Reserve Fund (containing an amount equal to the next fiscal year's principal and interest requirements). These funds may be invested with authorized depository banks or in U. S. Government securities. ~ Beginning with the year ended January 31, 1976, New Series Electric and Gas Systems Revenue Improvement Bonds ("New Series f Bonds") were issued. These bonds are junior and subordinate to the "Old Series Bonds. " The bond ordinances authorizing these issues provide that no further bonds or obligations will be Tj authorized or issued under the terms of the Trust Indenture for "Old Series Bonds." While any of the "Old ' Series Bonds" are outstanding, the "New Series Bonds" are payable solely from the 3 net revenues of the systems (1) deposited and available for 4 deposit in the Improvements and Contingencies Fund and (2) from funds payable to the City. At such time as the Trust Indenture covering the "Old Series Bonds" becomes inoperative, revenues 1 ] will be applied as follows: (a) for maintenance and operating expenses of the sys t ems'; (b) for payments of the "New Series Bonds"; (c) for the payment of any obligations inferior in lien ? to the "New Series Bonds" which may be issued; (d) for an i amount equal to 6% of the gross revenues of the systems to be deposited in a Repair and Replacement. Fundi (e) for cash payments and benefits to the City not to exceed 14% of the [ gross revenues of the systems; and (f) any remaining revenues to the Repair and Replacement Fund.

SHORT-TERM DEBT In November 1983, the City Council of the City of San Antonio f authorized the issuance of $100 million in tax-exempt commercial paper (the "Commercial Paper") to assist in the financing of eligible projects, including fuel acquisition and { capital improvements to the utility systems (the "Systems"). As of January 31, 1988, $98' million in principal amount was outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of approxi-mately 4.98% and an average life outstanding of about 62 days. All proceeds have been used for construction purposes.

Such pledge on Net Revenues is subordinate and inferior to the pledge securing j 2 payment of (i) the Old Series Bonds (ii) the New Series Bonds e and (iii) any New Series Bonds to be issued in the future. The i City and Texas Commerce Bank National Association bave entered into a revolving credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") pursuant to which such bank is obligated under the Credit h Agreement to loan to the City an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million for the' purpose of paying amounts due on the Commercial Paper.

PENSION PLAN L CPS has a self-administered, defined-benefit contributory pension plan covering substantially all employees. Partici-pating employees contribute 5% of their base pay bi-weekly. Normal retirement age is 65;
- however, early retirement is available with 25 years of benefit service.
Benefits are reduced for retirement under age 55. The total employer pension cost (all funded), which includes amortization of past service costs over 30 years using the Unit Credit Cost actuar.al method, is summarized as follows: 1988 1987 (in thousands) Amounts deposited in the CPS i Employees' Pension Trust $9.345 $9.136 Percentage of covered payroll 12% 12% Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement (GASB) No. 5, { effective for years beginning after December 1986, requires that a pension benefit obligation be measured using the actuarial present value of Credited Projected
- Benefits, as 7
adjusted for projected salary increases. This measure is independent of the funding method used to determine contri-butions to the plan. The actuarial valuation as of December 31, 1987, was computed using an assumed rate of return of 8.5% and projected salary increases averaging 6.5%. As a result, under GASB No. 5 the following represents CPS' pension benefit obligation (in thousands) as of December 31, 1987: 1 For retirees, beneficiaries and inactive participants $ 54,862 For active participants: Employer and employee-financed j vested benefits 146,473 { Employer-financed nonvested benefits 25,848 Total Pension Benefit Obligation $227.183 ) Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits (at fair market value) $148.962 Unfunded Pension Benefit Obligation S 78.221 . j
CITY PUBLIC SERVICE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ~ JANUARY 31, 1988 and 1987 6. PENSION PLAN (continued) Prior to GASB No. 5, CPS reported the plan status as the i actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits. Under such method, the actuarial present values of accumulated plan benefits using an assumed rate of return of 8% was $137,856,000 at December 31, 1986. At that time, net assets available for plan benefits were $132,075,000 at fair market value. 1 The actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits as of December 31, 1987 is $158,565,000 based on the same actuarial 7 method with some changes in actuarial assumptions, including an i 8.5% rate of return. This value compares to the net asset value of $148,962,000 as reported above. I Employees that retired prior to 1983 are receiving annuity a payments from an insurance carrier as well as receiving some benefits directly from CPS. These incremental costs for 1988 T and 1987 were $723,000 and $711,000, respectively, and were i recorded when paid. CPS also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. CPS' employees are eligible for these benefits upon retirement from CPS. The r l cost of retiree health care and life insurance benefits, funded by CPS and retired employee contributions, is recognized as an expense of CPS as employer contributions are made to the T programs. These costs approximated $792,000 and $734,000 for a 1988 and 1987, respectively. 7 J, 7. PAYMENTS TO THE CITY OF SAN ANTONIO The Trust Indenture provides for benefits and services totaling f* 14% of CPS gross revenues, as defined, to be paid or provided to the City. The Ci t y had previously elected to accept benefits less than 14% of gross revenue; however, on October 1, 7 1987, the City reinstated benefits at the full 14% of allowable revenues. The reduction of City benefits had no effect on financial operations. f Payments to the City of San Antonio for 1988 and 1987 were as follows: 1988 1987 h (in thousands) In lieu of taxes 8,946 7,799 Refund gas and electric services 15,656 15,286 ~ Additional payments 75,044 73,106 $ 99.646 $ 96.191 J

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT CPS is one of four participants in the South Texas Project ("STP"), which consists of two 1,250 megawatt nuclear generat-ing units under construction at a site in Matagorda County, Texas. The other participants in the project are Houston Lighting & Powe'r Company ("HL&P"), the project manager, Central Power and Light Company ("CPL") and the City of Austin ("Austin"). Under the terms of the STP participation agree-ment, each participant provides financing for its share of construction expenditures with CPS' participating interest in the project being 28% or 700 megawatts. Projected commercial [ operation dates are the summer of 1988 and June 1989 for Units 1 and 2, respectively. 7 In 1982, the City of Austin filed suit against HL&P, originally seeking rescission of its obligations in connection with the Project. That suit is now pending in a State District Court in Dallas County, Texas, and includes claims that HL&P breached i its duties and mismanaged the Project as Project
- Manager, seekicg damages on various theories ranging from $406 million to approximately $938 million.
On January 7, 1988, HL&P filed pleadings against CPS, CPL and its parent company,. Central and South West Corporation ("CSW"), in the City of Austin liti-gation in Dallas County snd in the State District Court in Matagorda County seeking a declaratory judgment that HL&P has no liability to the other participants in the Project and seeking contribution and indemnity f rom CPS, CPL and CSW for 7 any damages for which it is held liable to the City of i Austin. In March 1988, CPS and CPL made a call for binding arbitration concerning their disputes with HL&P over the South Texas Project including any mismanagement by HL&P, under the l terms of the South Texas Project Participation Agreement, and have requested that any proceedings on HL&P's pleadings against CPS and CPL be stayed pending the arbitration. In December 1985, a suit involving the project was settled on the agreement of Brown & Root, the former architect / engineer and constructor for STP, to pay the plai nti f f s, CPS and the other participants, $750 million. CPS commenced receipt of its $210 million share of the settlement in January 1986. Quarterly installments, without interest, in the amount of $7.5 million a r.e remitted purcuant to an unqualified contractual obligation of Aetna Life Insurance Company. The. remaining payments have been recorded as current other receivables and as Litigation Settlements Benefits Receivable. = s
8 ~ CITY pVBLIC SERVICE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 31, 1988 and 1987 ~ 8. SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT (continued) The estimated total direct cost of the project is $5.278 billion after consideration of the net present value of the ~ Brown & Root settlement and other project related credits. CPS' portion of the total costs for STP is $2.1 billion for construction and interest during construction and $115 million for fuel to be purchased prior to commercial operation of each Unit. CPS' share of remaining costs is estimated to be $105 million for plant construction and $13 million for nuclear fuel over the next two years, exclusive of interest. The costs may vary from the estimated amount due to inflation, changes in ~ equipment
- delivery, construction schedules, and regulatory changes.
T As of January 31, 1988, CPS has expended approximately $1.988 1 billion on the project (net of the $210 million settlement with Brown & Root), including interest during construction of $479 million and advance payments on fuel of $102 million. A license authorizing the loading of fuel and operation of ~ Unit 1 of the STP at power levels up to 5% of rated thermal power was issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") on August 21, 1987. The Project Manager loaded fuel shortly thereafter and commenced an initial startup test program. Unit 1 achieved its initial criticality in early March and HL&P was expected to seek authorization f rom the NRC to proceed with its test program up to full power operation shortly thereafter. In connection with the licensing and operation of STP, the participants have obtained all nuclear property and nucle 9.P ~ liability insurance required to date. However, there can be no { assurance that all potential losses or liabilities will be insurable or that the amount of insurance carried will be sufficient to cover all potential losces and liabilities. The participants currently maintain property damage insurance of ~ $1.23 billion through American Nuclear Insurers ("ANI") and L'uclear Electric Insurance Limited ("NEIL") and are planning to purchase additional $165 million limits from NEIL following Unit l's initial criticality. The NEIL excess property damage insurance (totaling $500 million) must be used to cover decontamination and clean-up expenses before being used to .[] cover direct losses to property. The participants have purchased all available private insurance (currently $160 million) against liability claims that may result from a nuclear incident, the total of which claiins are limited under the Price-Anderson Act to $720 million as of January 1988. In January 1987, the participants executed with a.
a, _ CITY PUBLIC SERVICE NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JANUARY 31, 1988 and 1987 SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT (continued) 8. the NRC an indemnification agreement under the provisions of the Price-Anderson Act, which could result in STP participants being assessed retrospective premiums of up to $5 million per incident (but not more than $10 million per year) to cover claims in excess of that covered by private insurance. The Price-Anderson Act expired August 1, 1987. Congress is currently considering bills that would extend the Price-Anderson Act and could substantially increase the liability for nuclear plant owners. Until a new Law is passed, the current provisions continue to apply to STP. 9. COMMITWENTS AND CONTINGENCIES In December
- 1986, CPS approved a
settlement offer from railroads involved in disputed issues about the proper and lawful freight rates. As a result, CPS received a $31 million ~ pa ymen t from the railroads in January 1987, most of which was used to replace utility funds used to make prior $26.4 million court-ordered rail tariff payments and to offset legal expenses incurred during the dispute. In January 1988, CPS received an additional $10 million, and CPS will receive additional annual ~' paymen ts ranging from $10.5 to $13 million, totaling $70.5 million, over the next six years from the railroads, which is expected to be returned to customers as paymen ts are received. The remaining amounts due have been recorded as current other receivables and Litigation Settlements Benefits ~ Receivable. l ~ Other - CPS is involved in various legal proceedings related to alleged personal and property
- damages, breach of contract, environmental matters, condemnation appeals, and discrimination cases.
In the opinion of management of CPS, the outcome of such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the i financial position or results of operations of CPS. l 1 Other purchase and construction commitments a"ounted to approximately $525.5 million at January 31,
- 1988, including
$441 million for a turnkey contract for construction of a new coal fired power plant to be completed by the summer of 1992. As of January 31,
- 1988, CPS has no significant lease commitments.
