l REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS To the Advisory Board and Board of Directors of the South Carolino Public Service Authority: We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of the South Carolina Public Service Authority (o component unit of the state of South Carolino- Note 1) os of December 31,1998 and 1997 and the related statements of occumulated earnings reinvested in the business, reinvested earnings, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1998. These financial state. ments are the responsibility of the Authority's management. Our responsibility is to express on opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in occordance with generally accepted auditing standards. 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 occounting principles used and significant estimates mode by man-ogement, as well as evoluoting the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. l in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the South Carolina Public Service I Authority as of December 31,1998 and 1997 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1998 in conformity with generolly accepted accounting principles, j The Year 2000 supplementary information on page 39 is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by l the Governmental Account;ng Standards Board (GASB), and we did not audit and do not express u opinion on such information. Further, we were unable to apply I

                    +c .he information certain procedures prescribed by professional standards because disclosure criteria specified by GASB Technical Bulletin 98-1 os amended l

are not sufficiently specific to permit meaningful results from the prescribed proce-l dures. In addition, we do not provide assurance that the South Carolino Public Service Authority is or will become Year 2000 compliant, that the South Corolino l Public Service Authority's Year 2000 remediation efforts will be successful in whole or in port, or that parties with which the South Carolino Public Service Authority does business are or will be Year 2000 compliant.

Management has completed on inventory of computer systems and other electionic equipment necessary to conduct the Authonty's opero-tions. In connection with this inventory, items were classied as mission entical, pnonty # 1 and prionty #2. Mission cntical items would result in immediate disruption of service to the Authonty's c.ustomers or create o safety nsk in the event of system failure. Pnonty # 1 items would not result in immediate disruption of customer service, but would impede operations or create safety nsks if not resolved in a timely manner Pnonty

    #2 stems may cause on inconvenience to normal business operations but are not deemed to pose a matenal threat to the Authonty.

Remediation and testing of mission cntical items and paonty # 1 items is expected to be complete by Apnl 1999. The Authonty has adopted a two-prong approach to preponng for potential year 2000 failures in the event that remediation and testing efforts fail dunng actual date transitions, o contingency plan is required for each mission cntical and pnonty # 1 system or device. These plans are forgeted for completion by Apnl 1999 for mission cntical stems and by July 1999 for prionty # 1 systems Management has token measures to oscertain the year 2000 readiness of certain businesses and governmental agencies external to the Authonty. Cotical supphers have been identfied and pnontaed for those goods and services that would result in customer sernce disruptions or create safety issues should that product or service become unovailable Each of these supphers hos been contacted to determine their state of year 2000 readiness. The results of these inqumes indicate that opproximo+ely half of the cntical supphers are year 2000 ready with the remain-ing half torgeted to be year 2000 ready by August 1999. The Authonty hos also initiated information exchanges with its industnol customers in order to identify and resolve any issues that would prevent these customers f om accepting power dehvery os o result of the year 2000 issue. The Authonty expects its total expenditures related to year 2000 comphonce issues to opproximate 515 milhon. Because of the unprecedented nature of the year 2000 issue, ;ts effects and the success of related remediation efforts will not be fully deter-minoble until the year 2000 and therecher. Monogement connot assure that the Authonty is or will be year 2000 teody, that the Authonty's semediation efforts will be successful in whole or in port, or that parties with whom the Authonty does business will be year 2000 ready-l l l financials  %
