GAINESVILLE REGIONAL UTILITIES NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30,1986 AND 1985 Note 1 -

SUMMARY

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basisof Accounting Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) consists of the Combined Utility Funds of the City of Gainesville, Florida (City). GRU uses the accrual basis of accounting and has adopted the uniform system of accounts prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commis-sion. The electric, water, and wastewater funds are combined along with all restricted asset accounts.

Investments l Investments are stated at amortized costs. Premium or discount is amortized over the investment's maturity based on the interest method.

Inventories inventories are stated at cost using the weighted average unit cost method for materials, and the last-in, first-out (UFO) method for fuel. Obsolete and unusable items are reduced to estimated salvage values.

Utility Plant Property and equipment are recorded at cost or estimated original cost where applicable. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense as incurred. The average cost of depreciable plant retired is eliminated from the plant accounts and such cost, plus removal expense less salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation and Nuclear Generating Plant Decommissioning Depreciation of utility plant is computed using the straight-line methad os er the estimated service life of the property. Depreciation was equivalent to 2.83% and 2.82% of average depreciable propeity for 1986 and 1985, respectively. Depreciation expense includes a provision for decommissioning costs related to the jointly-owned nuclear power plant (see Note 5) at an annual rate of 3.6% of GRU's share of the estimated costs.

Amortization of Nuclear Fuel The cost of nuclear fuel, including estimated disposal cost, is charged to operating expenses. These costs are charged to customers through increased rates or through the fuel adjustment clause.

Utility Revenue Recognition Utility revenues are recorded as earned. Fuel adjustment revenues are recognized based on the actual fuel costs. Amounts charged based on estimated costs are adjusted monthly for any differences between the actual and estimated costs once actual costs are known.

Interfund Transactions Interfund transactions and contributions are generally made in accordance with budget ordinances. Interfund transactions and balances, except direct billings for utility services (see Note 4), are eliminated for the Combined Utility Funds. Interfund loans do not bear interest.

SUMMARY

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued:

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction An allowance for interest on borrowed funds used during construction of $543,338 in 1986 and $254,300 in 1%5 is included in con-struction in progress and as a reduction of interest expense. These amounts are computed by applying the effective interest rate on the funds borrowed to finance the projects to the monthly balance of projects under construction. The effective interest rates were approximately 10.3% in 1986 and 1985.

Amortization Bond issuance costs are amortized over the life of the bonds. Other miscellaneous deferred debits are generally being amortized I

over periods from five to ten years. Deferred debit amortization expense was $33,454 and $43,937 for 1986 and 1985, respectively.

Contributions in Aid of Construction Utility plant in service for the water and wastewater funds includes assets received from contributions in aid of construction. The amount of amortization expense included in the statement of revenue and expense relating to the contributed assets is credited to retained earnings to reflect the transfer of this amount to the related contributions account.

Reclassification Certain amounts for 1985 have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted for 1986.

Note 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS:

The City sponsors and administers two retirement plans that include GRU employees together with other City employees.

The Employees Pension Plan (Employees Plan), a defined benefit, primary contributory pension plan, covers all employees of GRU, except certain personnel who participate only in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

The Oty accounts for, and funds the costs of, the Employees Plan as they accrue. Such costs are based on contribution rates determined by the most recent actuarial valuation.The total contributions by the Oty, including amortization of prior service costs, for the years ended September 30,1986 and 1985, were $1,348,221 and $1,256,526, respectively. Of these totals, approximately

$843,604 and $730,130 was contributed by GRU in 1986 and 1985, respectively.

The following information for the Employees Plan is as of September 30,1986, the date of the latest actuarial valuation:

Actuarial Present Value of Accumulated Plan Benefits-Vested $28,435,835 Actuarial Present Value of Accum ulated Plan Benefits - Nonvested 2,103,404

$30.539,239 Net Assets Available For Benefits $29,130,564 Weighted Average Assumed Rate of Return Used to Determine the Actuarial Present Value of Plan Benefits 10 %

.; Beginning in 1979, certain employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution deferred compensation plan managed by the International City Management Association Retirement Corporation as fiscal agent for the Oty. Ur: der this plan, the Oty contributes 6% of an employee's annual salary and employees may contribute either a specified percentage or dollar amount. Total

deferred compensation cost for CRU for the fiscal years ended September 30,1986 and 1985 was approximately $116,703 and

$99,165, respectively.

Note 9 LITIGATION:

Island Creek Coal Sales Company (Island Creek) has claimed that the City of Gainesville (through GRU) breached a coal sales agreement with that company by cancelling the contract. lsland Creek has submitted alternate damage claim figures of $64 million and $40 million, respectively, based upon different legal damages theories. The City has filed a counter <laim in the same arbitration for approximately $2.2 million and has stringently resisted Island Creek Coal Sales Company's claims. The matter was -

trel before a panel of three arbitrators in October,1986, with the parties being required to file all briefs by February 10,1987. An oral decision is not expected before June,1987 After consultation with legal counsel, it is the opinion of management that any liability that might ensue would not materially impair GRU's financial condition.
