working hard to deliver reIlable and eHicient power. Our customers have been able to rely on Florida Power Corporation for over 99 years. Probably has a lot to do with the experience and expertise of our people, not to mention our constant, dependable stream of affordable power. A stream that flows from more than 50 power plants. Quite a number Flon,da considering some power companies only have one. And what :* happens if that plant goes down? Darkness. Whatever that is. $9eEE http:llu'u'tefpc.com

a Purvis Gray & Comoany INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Bushnell Bushnell, Florida We have audited the accompanyin6 general-purpose financial statements of the City of Bushnell, Florida as of and for the year ended September 30, 1997, as listed in the table of contents. These general-purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the City of Bushnell, Florida's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general-purpose financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in 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 general-purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the general-purpose 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued a report dated December 23, 1997, on our consideration of the City of Bushnell, Florida's internal control over financial reporting and our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general-purpose financial statements taken as a whole.

- separate organizations if its officials appoint a voting majority of the organization's governing i body and either it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific fm' ancial benefits to, or to impose specific financial burdens on, the City. The City may also be financially accountable for governmental organizations ;
that are fiscally dependent upon the City. Based upon the application for these criteria, the ] Evergreen Cemetery was considered a component unit of the City. l e Evergreen Cemetery Fund I A Board of Trustees was created by City ordinance and is appointed by the City Council ; to administer the affairs of Evergreen Cemetery. One member of the City Council must be on the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees is authorized to sell cemetery lots i and to invest proceeds which are legally restricted by ordinance. The principal is not subject to expenditure and the interest can be used only for operations, maintenance and improvement of the cemetery. The Evergreen Cemetery is a blended component unit and is included in the City's reporting entity as a special revenue fund. Fund Accounting The City uses funds and account groups to report on its financial position and the results of its operations. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid ! financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government functions or activities. l I A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Funds are classified into three categories: governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. Each category, in turn, is divided into separate " fund types." 10 l l
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS g CITY OF DUSIINELL, FLORIDA E (Continued) Note 1 - Sununary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)' Fund Accounting (Concluded) Governmental funds are used to account for all or most of a government's general activities. Governmental funds of the City are as follows: a General Fund - The general fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all financial resources, except those required to be accounted for in au ther fund. a Special Revenue Funds - The special revenue funds are used to accoum for the proceeds I of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trusts, or for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes. The City operates two special revenue funds (the Evergreen Cemetery and Community Development Block Grant funds). Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the determination of net income is necessary or useful to sound finan:ial administration. Proprietary funds of the City are as follows: i a Enterprise Funds - The enterprise funds are used to account for activities that are l operated in a manner similar to private businesses where the cost of providing goods and g l services are primarily recorded through user charges. The City coerates electric, water 3 and sanitation enterprise funds. l Fiduciary funds are used to account for assets held on behalf of outside parties, including other governments, or on behalf of other funds within the government. m Agency Fund - The agency fund generally is used to account for assets that the government holds on behalf of others as their agent. The City operates a deferred compensation agency fund. e Trust Funds - The City operates a separate trust fund for both the general employees' and police officers' retirement funds. An account group, unlike a fund, is a financial reporting device designed to provide I accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are not recorded in the funds because they do not directly affect net expendable available financial resources. Account groups maintained by the City are as follows: u General Fixed Assets - Account for property and equipment not used in proprietary fund type operations or accounted for in trust funds. m General Long-Term Debt - Accounts for umnatured principal of long-term general g obligation indebtedness that is not a specific liability of a proprietary or fiduciary fund 5 type. 11 I
l NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS i CITY OF BUSIINELL, FLORIDA l (Continued) l I Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Basis of Accounting and Measurement Focus l The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, only current assets and current l liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements of these funds
. present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenses and other fm' ancing uses) in net current assets.
All proprietary fund types are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus, all assets and all liabilities associated with the operation of these funds are included on the balance sheet. Fund equity (i.e., net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. Proprietary fund type operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total assets. 1 The modified accrual basis of accounting is used by all governmental fund types and agency { funds. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when l susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and available). " Measurable" I means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available" means collectible j within the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of the current j period. l The following revenues are considered to be susceptible to accrual: ! Cigarette Tax Property Taxes State Revenue Sharing Proceeds Franchise Taxes Mobile Home License Tax Utility Service Taxes Alcoholic Beverage License Tax Interest Revenue Half-Cent Sales Tax 1 I Expenditures are recorded when the related fund liability is incurred. Principal and interest ; on general long-term debt are recorded as fund liabilities when due. I i The accrual basis of accounting is utilized by proprietary fund types. Under this method, revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. Pursuant to GASB Statement No. 20, the City has elected not to apply all Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statements and Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989, for proprietary fund type activities. Billing cycles of the proprietary funds which ! overlap September 30 are prorated based upon meter reading dates. The City reports deferred revenue on its combined balance sheet. Deferred revenues arise when a potential revenue does not meet both the " measurable" and "available" criteria for recognition in the current period. Deferred revenues also arise when resources are received 12 lL

In subsequent periods, when both revenue recognition criteria are met, or when the government has a legal claim to the resources, the 3 liability for deferred revenue is removed from the combined balance sheet and revenue is E recognized.
'gets ets are adopted on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, t that the provision for depreciation expense is not included in the budget of the poprietary funds. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the general fund. Annual appropriations lapse at fiscal year end. The 1997 annual operating budget was prepared for all funds, except the following:
a Evergreen Cemetery Fund - This fund was not budgeted for in 1997 by the City Council. I m Pension Trust and Agency Funds - These funds were not budgeted for in 1997 by the City Council. l Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts, and other commitments are E recorded as expenditures in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is 5 not employed by the City for budgetary purposes. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes amounts in demand deposits, as well as short-term investments with a maturity date within three months of the date acquired by the City. mm g1 Short-Term Interfund Receivables /Payables During the course of operations, numerous transactions occur between individual funds for g goods provided or services rendered. These receivables and payables are classified as "due to/from other funds" on the balance sheet. 3' Inventory Inventories held by the enterprise funds are stated at cost or market, whichever is lower. Prepaid Items Payments made to vendors for service that will benefit periods beyond September 30,1997, are recorded as prepaid items. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment used in governmental fund type operations are accounted for in the general fixed assets account group, rather than in governmental furids. No depreciation has been provided on such property, plant and equipment. 13
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSilNELL, FLORIDA (Continued) Note 1 - Sununary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued) Property, Plant and Equipment (Concluded) All property, plant and equipment are valued at historical cost or estimated historical cost, if actual historical cost is not available. Donated property, plant and equipment are valued at their estimated fair value on the date donated. The City has adopted the accounting policy of not capitalizing " infrastructure" general fixed assets (road, bridges, curbs and gutter, streets and sidewalks, drainage system, lighting systems and similar assets that are immovable and of value only to the City). Depreciation is provided in the enterprise funds in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of the depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives on the straight-line basis. The service lives by type of asset are as follows: Useful Lives In Years Electric Utility Fund Distribution Plant 25-40 Years Structures and Improvements 32 Years Equipment 6-12 Years Investment in Crystal River #3 Nuclear Plant 28 Years Water Utility Fund Distribution Plant 25-101 Years Building 50 Years Equipment 25 Years Sanitation Fund Equipment 7 Years Bond Discounts and Issuance Costs Bond discounts and issuance costs for proprietary fund types are deferred and amortized over the term of the bonds using the straight-line amortization method which produces a result not significantly different from the interest method. Bond discounts are presented as a reduction of the face amount of bonds payable, whereas issuance costs are recorded as deferred charges. Compensated Absences Vested or accumulated vacation leave that is expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources is reported as an expenditure and a fund liability of the governmental fund that will pay it. Amounts of vested or accumulated vacation leave that are not expected to be liquidated with expendable available financial resources are reported in the general long-term debt account group. No expenditure is reported for these amounts. Vested or accumulated vacation leave of proprietary funds is recorded as an expense and liability of those funds as the benefits accrue to employees. In accordance with the provision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 43, Accountingfor Compensated 14
I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CITY OF BUSHNELL, FLORIDA (Continued) l Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Concluded) Compensated Absences (Concluded) g Absences, no liability is recorded for nonvesting accumulating rights to receive sick pay E benefits. However, a liability is recognized for that portion of accumulating sick leave benefits that is estimated will be taken as " terminal leave" prior to retirement. Interfund Transactions l Quasi-external transactions are accounted for as revenues, expenditures or expenses. l Transactions that constitute reimbursements to a fund for expenditures / expenses initially made from it that are properly applicable to another fund, are recorded as expenditures / expenses ! in the reimbursing fund and as reductions of expenditures / expenses in the fund that is ! reimbursed. l All other interfund transactions, except quasi-external transactions and reimbursements, are l reported as transfers. Nonrecurring or nonroutine permanent transfers of equity are reported l as residual equity transfers. All other interfund transfers are reported as operating transfers. l Grants - Proprietary Funds g Unrestricted grants, entitlements or shared revenues received are reported as nonoperating W revenues. Such resources externally restricted for capital acquisitions or construction are reported as contributed capital. Operating expenses include depreciation on all depreciable g fixed assets (including those financed by grants). 3 Water Line Extension Charges g Water line extension charges are made to customers to cover the full cost of the addition. E Such charges are recorded as an equity contribution. Costs of the extension are reported as property and equipment and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset. Fund Equity Contributed capital is recorded in proprietary funds that have received capital grants or contributions from developers, customers or other funds. Reserves represent those portions of fund equity not appropriable for expenditures or legally segregated for a specific future use. Tval Columns on Combined Statements - Overview I Totai columns on the combined statements - overview are captioned " Totals (Memorandum Only)" te indicate they are presented only to facilitate financial analysis.

l NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS i CITY OF BUSIINELL, FLORIDA (Continued) Note 2 - Legal Compliance - Budgets Prior to October 1, the City Manager submits to the City Council a proposed operating budget for the fiscal year commencing on October 1. The operating budget includes proposed expenditures and the means of financing them. After submission of the proposed operating budget, workshops are held and public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments. Prior to October 1, the budget is legally enacted through passage of a resolution. Any transfers of budgeted amounts between departments within any fund and any revisions that alter the total expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City Council.

I NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATF31ENTS CITY OF BUSIINELL, FLORIDA (Continued) Note 11 - Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Continued) Pension Trust Funds g a Plan Description W In January 1996, the City adopted two separate single-employer pension plans, one for police officers and a general employees' retirement plan that covers substantially all full- g time City employees employed after January 1,1996, pursuant to the City's opt out of the g Florida Retirement System. These plans are maintained as pension trust funds and included as part of the City's reporting entity. City ordinance and state law requires E contributions to be determined by actuarial studies every three years. Both plans had g actuarial studies performed on a pro forma basis imrrediately prior to plan adoption, but not since then. Stand-alone financial reports are not issued. The general employees' retirement plan covers all full-time employees, except for police I officers. The plan is noncontributory, and the City provides the full contribution to fund the plan. The annual pension cost related to the plan includes amortization, over a thirty-year period, of a prior service cost established October 13, 1995. The police officers' retirement plan covers all full-time police officers. The plan is contributory and requires participante to contribute 1% of their salary to the plan. The City provides the balance of contributions required after the participants' contributions. In addition, state funds collected under Florida Statutes Chapter 175 and 185 are E contributed to the plan. The pension cost of the Police Officers' Retirement Plan includes 5 the amortization, over a thirty-year period, of prior service costs established October 13, 1995. Substantially all full-time City employees hired on or after January 1,1996, are eligible to participate in their respective plans. Benefits vest after ten years of credited service for all employees. In 1995, an actuarial study was performed before the plan began, which analyzed estimated payroll and premium tax receipts in order to provide an estimated contribution for the subsequent three fiscal years. A consulting actuary estimates the actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits. This is the liability that results from applying actuarial j assumptions to adjust the accumulated benefits earned by the participants to reflect the time I value of money (through discounts for interest) and the probability of payment (by means of decrements such as for death, disability, withdrawal or retirement) between the j valuation date and the expected date of payrnent. Significant actuarial assumptions used to compute the pension benefit obligations follow: 25 1

If the plans were to terminate, different actuarial assumptions and other factors might be applicable in determining the actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits. e Current Year Activity I For the year ended September 30,1997, the general employees' retirement plan had three nonvested participants and the police officers' retirement plan had two nonvested participants. There are no retired or terminated employees that have ever participated in I these plans. The City is obligated to contribute to the plans pursuant to the City Code Section 184. I The amount of the contributions are certified by the consulting actuary. During fiscal year 1996-97, the City contributed $3,303 to the general employees' retirement plan and $5,650 to the police officers' plan. i a Plan Assets Plan assets are invested in bank deposit accounts. Investment decisions are made by the trustee with direction from the Board of Trustees. Net assets available for benefits at l market value for the general employees' and police officers' pension plans at September 30,1997, were $4,212 and $16,784, respectively. s Funding Status and Progress According to Florida Statutes, Chapters 175,185 and 112, an actuarial valuation is required once every three years. An actuarial valuation determines the funding necessary l l 26
I l I l NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS g i CITY OF BUSIINELL, FLORIDA E (Continued) Note 11 - Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Concluded) Pension Trust Funds (Concluded) g a Funding Status and Progress (Concluded) g to keep the plan solvent. Because the effective date of the City's plan was January 1, l 1996, an actuarial valuation has not yet been completed and is not required until the plan a year ending September 30,1998. In the interim, the City makes contributions based on g the estimated actuarial study as noted above. Consequently, certain disclosures required by Government Accounting Standards are not available. a Trend Information I l The supplemental schedules section contains the required historical trend information which provides further information about progress being made in accumulating assets to pay benefits when due. Certain of the required schedules are presented for the years for which the pension benefit obligation is currently available. These schedules will expand in comparable years as more information becomes available. Deferred Compensation Fund The City offers its employees a deferred compensation plan created in accordance with g Internal Revenue Code Section 457. The plan, available to all City employees, permits E deferral of a portion of their salary until future years. A number of investment options (common stock balanced with corporate bonds and government securities, guaranteed interest, or a combination) are available to employees. The deferred compensation is not available to employees until termination, retirement, death or an unforeseen nonreimbursed emergency. The City matches 10% of employee contributions for all employees. Total City and employee g contributions to the plan were $3,311 and $31,811, respectively, for the year ended l September 30,1997. All amounts of compensation deferred under the plan, all property and rights purchased with those amounts, and all income attributable to those amounts, property, or rights are (until paid l or made available to the employee or other beneficiary) solely the property and rights of the l City (without being restricted to the provisions of benefits under the plan), subject only to the claims of the City's general creditors. Participants' rights under the plan are equal to those of general creditors of the City in an amount equal to the fair market value of the deferred account for each participant. The deferred compensation fund is classified as an agency fund. The assets are stated at market value. It is the opinion of the City Attorney that the City has no liability for losses under the plan. ! City management believes that it is unlikely that assets will be used to satisfy the claims of general creditors in the future. Note 12 - Retirement Benefits The City allows retired employees to participate in the City's health insurance plan. These g retirees are responsible for their premium payments. Currently, there are three retirees 3 participating. 27 I

Purvis Gray & ' Company INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF GENERAL-PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS Ilonorable Mayor and Council Members City of Bushnell Bushnell, Florida We have audited the general-purpose financial statements of the City of Bushnell, Florida (the City) as of and for the year ended September 30,1997, and have issued our report thereon dated December 23, 1997. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards I applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Compliance As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's general-purpose financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. l The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. l Internal Control Over Financial Reporting ; In planning and performing our audit, we considered the City's internal control over financial reportmg in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the general-financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. Our consideration of the internal control over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control over financial reporting that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the genera-purpose financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, We noted no matters involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, we noted other matters involving the internal control over financial reporting that we have reported to the City Council in a separate letter dated December 23, 1997.

Purvis Gray & Company INDEPENDENT' AUDITORS' REPORT ON EXAh11 NATION OF MANAGEnfENT'S ASSERTION ABOUT COMPLIANCE WITII SPECIFIED REQUIREMENTS Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Bushnell Bushnell, Florida We have examined management's assertion included in its representation letter dated December 23,1997, that the City of Bushnell, Florida complied with the allowable cost requirements of the grants and aids appropriations identified in the schedule of state financial assistance, for the year ended September 30, 1997. Management is responsible for the City of Bushnell, Florida's compliance with those requirements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assertion about the City's compliance based on our examination. Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination does not provide a legal determination on the City's compliance with specified requirements. In our opinion, management's assertion that the City of Bushnell, Florida complied with the allowable cost requirements of the grants and aids appropriations identified in the schedule of state financial assistance during the fiscal year ended September 30,1997, is fairly stated, in all material respects. This report is intended for the information of the City Council, management, and applicable state and federal agencies.

Purvis Gray & ( Company i 51ANAGEhfENT LETTER C05th1ENTS l Honorable Mayor and Council Members City of Bushnell Bushnell, Florida l During the course of our audit, the following items came to our attention. These items involve primarily operational matters which, if improved, will result in more efficient and effective operations. l Status of Prior Year Comments All prior comments have been satisfactorily addressed by the City of Bushnell, Florida (the City), except j for the following items l Evergreen Cemetery Fund I The Evergreen Cemetery fund of the City is maintained and operated by a volunteer association that ! handles all financial functions of the fund. In prior years, the annual audit has been the only time that ) the financial activity and records of the fund are received and analyzed by the City. Additionally, the volunteer association's treasurer alone keeps all records, approves payments, writes and signs checks, and receives bank statement. During 1996, the City began the process of reviewing a copy of the monthly l checking account bank statement. However, we recommend that the City continue working with the volunteer association to perform a more in-depth financial review. A second signature from City Hall should be considered for all volunteer association checks. l Also, during the course of our audit, we noted that the City did not adopt an annual operating budget for the Evergreen Cemetery fund (a special revenue fund). According to Florida Statutes, Chapter 166.241, all such funds must be budgeted for by the local government. We recommend the City include this fund in its 1997-98 operating budget. l Internal Financial Reporting Our audit indicates that the City does not generate summarized financial statements for each fund during the year for review by the City Council and key management. Information regarding the City's assets, l liabilities, revenues and expenses should be summarized to provide all interested parties key financial information to aid in decision making and the appropriate discharge of fiduciary responsibility of City officials. l Accordingly, we recommend that the City take steps to create summarized internal use financial statements as soon as is practical. The City should contact its financial software provider to determine l how best to obtain this information from the existing general ledger and financial reporting package l currently used. If not available from the existing system, alternative sources should be explored. Certified PubilC Accountants P.O. Box 23999 222 N E.1st Street . Gainesville, Florida 32602. (352) 378-2461.

Under this new system, all materials purchased and issued out should be recorded in both the perpetual system and inventory general ledger account, with periodic reconciliations of the two balances. Our audit indicates that periodic reconciliation of the perpetual system to the general ledger balance did not occur, resulting in large year end inventory adjustments , which teok extra man-hours to resolve. Accordingly, we recommend that the City institute a policy where the perpetual inventory system is reconciled at least quarterly (or monthly) to the general ledger control account, with appropriate adjustments made to bring the two in balance. We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the courtesies which have been extended to our staff. If you have any questions or comments about the contents of this letter, or the information accompanying this letter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

- This letter of explanation, or rebuttal, is being offered in accordance with the i
' Rules of the Auditor General" in panicular, Chapter 10.500 thereof.
Specifically, this letter responds to Purvis, Gray & Company's " Management Letter Comments" dated December 23,1997. In their repon, Purvis, Gray & Company made several ; recommendations for improvement in different areas of the City's accounting functions. The specific areas identified in their recommendations are as follows:
> EVERGREEN CEMETERY FUND 1
> INTERNAL FINANCIAL REPORTING
> INVENTORY SYSTEM The management of the city recognizes that the recommendations of the auditofs report are beneficial and achievable, therefore, this ! citer will be without rebuttal. Our comments will hence be restricted to explanatory comments, implementation plans or recommendations for the above identified areas.

> EVERGREEN CEMETERY FUND -[
Management agrees with the auditors recommendation for the need of more in-depth financial review of the Bushnell Evergreen Cemetery fmancial activities by the City. ( Traditionally, the Cemetery Board of Trustees and its treasurer has had total control and custody of these City funds. With no oversight by the Council or management of the ( fund activities, for the exception of a year end financial report to the City by the Board's treasurer. [ It is management's recommendation that the City Council appoint a committee to work with the Bushnell Evergreen Cemetery Board of Trustees, to develop a system agreeable to all, which will provide the necessary oversight and control recommended by the auditors. Once ( this system is developed management, with the assistance of the Board ofTrustees treasurer, can develop ta budget for this special revenue fund. This special revenue fund will be included in the overall City budget, as required by Florida Statutes 166.241. [
>INTERNALFINANCIAL REPORTING Management has been in contact with the financial software provider, to obtain information on how best to extract a summanzed financial statement from the City's general ledger and financial reporting package. Our generalledger is currently a DOS system and does
[ not facilitate easy extraction and manipulation of the financial infonnation. The City's software provider informed us, that a window based version of our general ledger software has been recently released in other participating municipalities. It is management's understanding that the [ new windows based general ledger includes additional standardized financial reports, as well as, software to generate customized reports of the financialinformation. The window based general ledger is available at no additional cost to the City. The new software will be installed in the near f future for testing and training. Once the installation and training is completed there will be a short period of time in which the systems will be run in parallel. Once the window based system meets with management's approval, a summarized financial statement will be provided to council on a ( reoccurring basis. [ klNVENTORY SYSTEM ue City implemented a computerized inventory system during the fiscal year [ 1996. This system has been utilized by the electric and water departments to meintain a perpetual inventory of all stock items. Since it's implementation the inventory system's balances have been reconciled to the general ledger on an annual basis. Management, in response to the auditor's ( recommendations, has implemented a quarterly reconciliation of the balances of the inventory system to the generalledger. In addition, a reconciliation of the inventory system to the actual stock will be performed semi-annually through a physical stock count. [ 59 m r'

SEMINOLE ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - THE COOPERATIVE: Seminole Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Seminole) is a generation and transmission cooperative (G & T). It is responsible for meeting the electric power and energy needs of its eleven distribution cooperative l members operating within the State of Florida. Seminole's rates are l established by its Board of Trustees, which is composed of representatives from each member cooperative. l Seminole constructed and operates two coal-fired generating facilities (Seminole Unit No. 1 and Unit No. 2) near Palatka, Florida with approximately 625 megawatts of net output per unit. These units are connected to the Florida bulk power supply grid through Seminole's 230 kV transmission lines and associated facilities. Both units commenced commercial operation in 1984. At year end 1997, 166 employees or approximately 39% of the total j workforce were covered by a three year collective bargaining agreement with Utility Workers Union of America expiring on June 30, 1999. j ' L l Seminole holds a 1.6994% undivided ownership interest in the Crystal l River Unit No. 3 (CR3) nuclear power plant operated by Florida Power j Corporation (FPC). Seminole also owns various transmission facilities I connecting Seminole to an Independent Power Producer (IPP) as well as individual members to the Florida bulk power grid. NOTE 2 -
SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: , 1 Seminole complies with the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed l l by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS). The accounting policies and l practices applied by Seminole in the determination of rates are also employed for financial reporting purposes. These policies and j practices require management to make estimates and assumptions that l affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial l statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during l the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those j estimates. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, " Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation", Seminole's Board of Trustees prescribes ratemaking recovery for certain transactions. Such transactions are approved by RUS prior to adoption. The consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and financial position of Seminole, Acuera Corp. (Acuera), and beginning in 1997, Putnam Leasing Company A, Inc., Putnam Leasing
Company B, Inc., and Putnam Leasing Company C, Inc., each wholly owned subsidiaries of Seminole. The three new subsidiaries were established to facilitate the completion of the lease / leaseback transactions ( discussed in Note eliminated.
- 3. All intercompany transactions have been Operating Revenue Seminole has wholesale power contracts with each of its members, whereby the members must purchase all electric power and energy which the member shall require for its system within the State of Florida from Seminole to the extent that Seminole shall have such power, energy and facilities available. The only exception relates to contracts between several members and the Southeastern Power Administration, which provides less than 2% of the total energy required by all members.
Operating revenue consists primarily of sales of electric power and energy by Seminole and a facilities use charge for Seminole's transmission lines serving a single member cooperative. Member revenues include amounts resulting from a fuel and purchased power adjustment clause which provides for billings to reflect increases or decreases in fuel and fuel related purchased power costs. The l levelized adjustment factor is based on costs projected by Seminole
) for a twelve-month period. Any overrecovery or underrecovery of costs plus an interest factor are to be refunded or billed to the members l semi-annually. At the members' option, refunds of overrecoveries may ) be deferred with interest every six months until such time as the member elects to have the overrecovery including accumulated interest refunded. Net deferred and current balances of these amounts of approximately $4.1 million and $5.8 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, are recorded as accrued liabilities until refunaed.
Included in operating revenue are approximately $526 million and $543 million of revenue from members for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, of which approximately $20 million and $15 million are included in receivables at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Utility Plant Utility plant owned by Seminole is stated at original cost. Such cost includes applicable supervisory and overhead cost, plus net interest charged during construction. The amounts of interest capitalized during 1997 and 1996 were $86,553 and $65,565, respectively. The cost of maintenance and repairs, including renewals and replacements of minor items of property, is charged to operating expense. The cost of replacement of depreciable property units, as distinguished from
l 3-minor items, is charged to utility plant. The cost of units replaced or retired, including cost of removal, net of any salvage value, is charged to accumulated depreciation. Certain leased transportation equipment is valued at the total net present value of minimum lease payments. Depreciation and Amortization Seminole provides for depreciation on owned utility plant using composite rates applied annually on a straight-line basis that will amortize the original cost of depreciable property over its estimated useful life. The average rates for 1997 and 1996 were as follows: 1997 1996 Coal-fired production plant 3.10% 3.10% Transmission plant 2.75% 2.75% General plant 5.90% 7.22% Nuclear production plant 4.74% 4.56% Depreciation expense amounted to $23,872,653 and $24,003,317 for 1997 and 1996, respectively. Improvements to the leased coal-fired plant are amortized over the remaining life of the base lease term. The related composite amortization rates were 5.91% and 5.87% for 1997 and 1996, respectively. Amortization of leased assets under capital leases amounted to 1 S2,281,194 and $2,081,696 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Amortization of Deferred Gain Deferred gain on sale-leaseback of plant is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the base lease term of 25 years commencing in 1985 and is reflected as a reduction of operating expenses. Deferred Charges At December 31, 1997 and 1996, deferred charges consisted primarily of unamortized debt costs and related prepayment and repricing penalties of approximately $58.8 million and S66 million, respectively. These deferred charges will be recovered through rates over the remaining lives of the related debt ranging up to twenty-one years. During 1997, certain of the unamortized balances of prepayment penalties were written off as directed by the Board of Trustees and are included in the write off of deferred charges in the amount of S3.9 million. 1
Also included in deferred charges at December 31, 1996 were costs associated with a load management incentive fee program with an unamortized balance of approximately $4.9 million. A 1996 amendment to the Load Management Incentive Program Expense Deferral Plan was adopted by the Board of Trustees which reduced the unamortized balance at year end 1996 by $1.5 million. As directed by the Board of Trustees, the $2.8 million unamortized balance remaining after 1997 amortization was written off in December 1997 These amounts are included in the write off of deferred charges. Long-Lived Assets Seminole evaluates, on a regular basis, whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying amounts of utility plant and deferred charges may warrant revision or may not be recoverable. Seminole measures impairment of these long-lived assets based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows from operations. At December 31, 1997, the net utility plant and net unamortized deferred charges balances are not considered to be impaired. Deferred Credits At December 31, 1997 and 1996, deferred credits primarily included deferred lease expense which represents the difference between cash payments and expense recognized on a straight-line basis related to the operating lease of certain generating facilities and a reserve for CR3 decommissioning costs. These deferred credits have been authorized by the Board of Trustees. Cash Equivalents Seminole considers all short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1996 statements to conform to current classifications. There were no changes in net margins as previously reported.
I NOTE 3 - LEASE / LEASEBACK TRANSACTIONS: In December 1997, Seminole entered into three long-term lease / leaseback transactions for a portion of its Palatka generating station. These transactions are characterized as sales and leasebacks for income tax purposes, but are reflected as financing transactions for financial reporting purposes. After a twenty-three year leaseback period, Seminole has three options including the exercise of a fixed purchase option which, if exercised, would allow Seminole to repurchase the leased assets, repay the related long-term debt and to retain all other rights of ownership (including tax ownership) with respect to the plant. The proceeds received by Seminole from these transactions were $288 million. From these proceeds, $224 million was paid to a financial institution for its entering into three separate payment undertaking agreements (PDAs) with Seminole. Under the PUAs, the financial institution assumed primary liability to pay the portion of Seminole's rental obligation under each lease corresponding to the debt in such leveraged lease. Therefore, both Seminole's interest in the PDAs and the corresponding lease obligations have been extinguished for financial reporting purposes. Additionally, on the date of closing, Seminole made advance rent payments totaling $.6 million and received fees totaling S.5 million. These transactions increased Seminole's investments and long-term debt (lease termination obligation) by $63.9 million and S63.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 1997. The S63.9 million increase in investments includes $33.4 million (lease termination fund) which has been invested in zero coupon government securities which will be held to maturity (the end of the twenty-three year leaseback period) and will accrete to a value to allow Seminole to fully fund the equity portion of the fixed purchase option. The fair market values of both the lease termination fund and lease termination obligation are not determinable since they are not marketable. The $63.9 million increase in investments also includes $30.5 million which represents Seminole's gross cash benefit. At December 31, 1997 this gross cash benefit, which is restricted as to use by an escrow agreement between Seminole and the RUS, has been invested in short-term government securities. Approximately S3.3 million in transaction costs had been incurred by Seminole as of December 31, 1997, with an estimated additional S.5 million expected to be incurred in 1998. The net cash benefit to Seminole totaling S26.7 million will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the twenty-three year leaseback period in the amount of S1.2 million annually, pursuant to SEAS No.71 and as authorized by the Board of Trustees.

I It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of CFC capital term certificates due to the nature and maturity of these investments. Of these investments, $1,459,947 are required as a condition of membership and of loans provided to Seminole by CFC. Of the
$2,613,312 and $2,325,779 carrying amounts at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, $63,307 matures in 2075 and $918,124 matures in 2080. Both of these amounts pay 5% annual interest. Additionally, S364,283 matures in 2030 and pays 3% annual interest and $114,233 bears no interect and amortizes through 2019. An additional non-interest bearing investment in these certificates maturing in 2005 totaling $1,153,365 and $865,024 at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, with investments of approximately $144,000 to be made semi-annually through July 2000, relates to an agreement between Seminole, CFC and the National Cooperative Services Corporation (NCSC, an affiliate of CFC) (see Note 12).
Investments in CFC subordinated term certificates are required as a condition of guarantees provided to others by CFC on behalf of Seminole and are generally priced at market rates at the time of issuance. These investments bear interest at various rates with a combined average of approximately 9.94% and 9.80% in 1997 and 1996, respectively. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the estimated fair values of these investments of approximately $17 million for each year are based on the current rates offered by CFC for this type of required investment. Restricted funds held by trustees for pollution control bond funds and the nuclear decommissioning trust fund are recorded at amortized cost and are considered to be held-to-maturity. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the estimated fair values of these funds of approximately $18 million for each year is based on quoted market prices for the securities held by the trustees. The lease termination fund and lease / leaseback benefit are described in Note 3. Special funds consisted of deposits, accruing interest at variable rates, made to FPC and to Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) to secure future transmission services and are scheduled to be refunded in 1999. The deposits' carrying values approximate fair market value and will be held-to-maturity.

$ 652,773,223 $ 606,594,101 The estimated maturities and annual sinking fund requirements of all long-term debt, at current interest rates for the four years subsequent to December 31, 1998, are presented below:
Annual Maturities Year ending and Sinking Fund December 31, Requirements 1999 $18,105,466 2000 $19,588,377 2001 $20,968,809 2002 $22,174,552
Substantially all owned assets and leasehold interests other than the lease termination fund are pledged as collateral for the above mentioned debt to the United States of America (RUS and FFB) and CFC. At December 31, 1997 and 1996, the estimated fair values of long-term debt including current portion, are approximately S682 million and
$616 million, respectively. For Seminole's long-term debt with interest rates substantially fixed to final maturity, and for that portion that is subject to interest rate adjustment more than six months from year end, fair value is estimated based on the present value of the underlying cashflows. For that portion of long-term debt that reprices to market rates at intervals of six months or less, the carrying amount has been used as a reasonable estimate of fair value.
The fair value of the lease termination obligation is discussed in Note 3. Obligations Under Capital Leases At December 31, 1997, Seminole was obligated under certain capital leases of transportation equipment for which base lease terms expire on various dates through 2005. The following is a schedule of future lease payments under these leases together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of December 31, 1997: Year ending December 31, 1998 $ 4,636,953 1999 4,633,266 2000 4,633,266 2001 4,633,266 2002 4,633,266 Thereafter 9,951,353 Total minimum lease payments 33,121,370 Less amount representing interest ( 9,375,772) Present value of minimum lease payments 23,745,598 Less current principal portion ( 2,464,663)
$ 21,280,935 These transportation equipment leases provide for renewals and options to purchase the equipment at fair market value at various dates or upon expiration. Payments under these leases are included as a cost of fuel inventory and expensed based on the tons of coal burned throughout the year.
l NOTE 7 - NET MARGINS AND EQUITY RESTRICTIONS: l Under provisions of the RUS mortgage, until total equity equals or exceeds forty percent of total assets, the distribution of capital contributed by members is limited generally to twenty-five percent of patronage capital and margins of the next preceding year where, after giving effect to such distribution, the total equity will equal or exceed twenty percent of total assets. Distributions may be made, however, in such amounts as may be approved by RUS through waiver of the aforementioned restrictions. Such distributions to members totaled $634,660 and $1,565,472 in 1997 and 1996, representing amounts j equal to 25% of 1996 and 1995 net margins, respectively. The RUS mortgage requires Seminole to design its wholesale rates with a view . I towards maintaining, on a calendar year basis, a Times Interest Earned Ratio (as defined) of not less than 1.0 and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined) of not less than 1.0. An RUS stipulation arising from the sale of tax benefits requires Seminole to design its wholesale rates to provide an annual Times Interest Earned Ratio (as defined) of not less than 1.05. In 1997 and 1996, Seminole achieved a Times Interest Earned Ratio (as defined) of 1.06 for each year, and a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined) of 1.23 and 1.27, respectively. NOTE 8 - LINES OF CREDIT: i Seminole has available uncommitted lines of credit totaling $100 million of which none were drawn at December 31, 1997. RUS policy governs use of these funds. NOTE 9 - INCOME TAXES: Seminole is a non-exempt cooperative subject to federal and state income taxes and files a consolidated tax return. As a cooperative, Seminole is entitled to exclude patronage dividends from taxable income. In 1996 Seminole's bylaws were revised to require that Seminole is obligated, effective January 1, 1997, to declare patronage l dividends in an aggregate amount equal to Seminole's federal taxable
- income from its furnishing of electric energy and other services to l its member-patrons. Accordingly, such income will not be subject to l income taxes.
Seminole's ratemaking methods provide that any income taxes related ! to current operations are recognized as expense and are recovered r through rates when currently payable. In addition, income tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of taxes currently payable in the period utilized. In 1997 and 1996, net taxable income from non-patronage activity was eliminated by the application of net operating loss carryforwards. However, due to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) L
provisions enacted by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, Seminole paid AMT of approximately S1,600,000 and $200,000 in 1997 and 1996, respectively. AMT was charged to current operations in 1996. AMT was not generated from current operations in 1997 and is reflected as a cost of the lease / leaseback transactions described in Note 3. At December 31, 1997, net operating losses and income tax credits of approximately $102 million and $12 million are available to offset future taxable income and tax liabilities, respectively, expiring in years through 2006. Temporary differences in certain items of income and expense for tax and financial reporting purposes result primarily from depreciation, amortization and sale-leaseback of plant. Seminole has recorded the following noncurrent deferred tax asset, valuation allowance and noncurrent deferred tax liability in 1997 and 1996: 1997 1996 Noncurrent deferred tax asset S 59,900,000 $ 87,900,000 Less: valuation allowance (51,900,000) (78,400,000) Net noncurrent deferred tax asset 8,000,000 9,500,000 Noncurrent deferred tax liability 8,000,000 9,500,000 Net noncurrent deferred tax asset / liability S S __ Because, as a result of the bylaw change effective January 1, 1997, Seminole excludes from its taxable income amounts derived from patronage activity, the deferred tax asset, valuation allowance and deferred tax liability are calculated solely based on non-patronage activity. Prior to 1997, these components were calculated based on total temporary differences. The 1996 amounts shown above have been restated from the prior year to ensure comparability. The noncurrent deferred tax asset reflects deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards at statutory rates plus investment tax credits and AMT credits. Based on Seminole's historical transactions resulting in non-patronage losses and the revised bylaw provisions regarding patronage dividends effective January 1, 1997, it is not anticipated that Seminole will have future taxable income sufficient to fully realize the benefit of the existing tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 1997. A valuation allowance has been recorded in each year to reduce deferred tax assets relating to tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards. The valuation allowance decreased from 1996 to 1997 due primarily to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in 1997. The noncurrent deferred tax liability reflects taxable temporary differences at statutory rates.
NOTE 10 - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS: l Substantially all Seminole employees participate in the National Rural l Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Retirement and Security l Program (the Program), a defined benefit pension plan qualified under Section 401 and tax exempt under Section 501 (a) of the Internal
. Revenue Code. Seminole had accrued for pension expense amounts equal to the annual contributions to the Program until July 1, 1987, when a moratorium on contributions went into effect due to reaching full funding limitation. This moratorium on employer contributions was discontinued in November 1994 and reinstated in May 1995 and then discontinued again in October 1996. Employer contributions amounted to $1,331,507 in 1997 and $597,440 in 1996.. In this multi-employer plan, which is available to all member cooperatives of NRECA, the accumulated benefits and plan assets are not determined or allocated
- separately by individual employer.
Employees retiring on or after age 55 receive the benefit of being allowed to continue, at their expense, health care coverage under Seminole's group plan. In addition, these retirees may use a portion of their accumulated unused sick pay to apply toward these medical insurance premiums. The following sets forth the plan's funded status reconciled with amounts reported in Seminole's consolidated balance sheets at December d 31, 1997 and 1996. Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO): 1997 1996 Active plan participants not l yet fully eligible $2,767,300 $2,648,000 ! Fully eligible active plan participants 659,900 474,200 ; Retirees and dependents 301,700 354,400 Other plan participants 49,300 25,300 Total APBO $3,778,200 $3,501,900 Unrecognized gain /(loss) from past experience 60,100 ( 104,000) Accrued postretirement benefit liability $3,838,300 $3,397,900 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components: l Service cost S 286,400 $ 277,900 i Interest cost on accumulated I benefit obligation 246,900 228,700 l Amortization of unrecognized prior service cost Net periodic postretirement benefit cost S 533,300 $ 506,600
A 7.5% increase in the cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 1997. This rate is assumed to decrease incrementally to 5.5% in 2001 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, a 1% increase in the health care trend rate would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by
$331,900 or 8.8% at year-end 1997 and net periodic cost by $49,000 or 9.2% for the year. The weighted average discount rate and rate of compensation increase used in determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation for 1997 were 7.5% and 5.5%,
respectively. NOTE 11 - OPERATING LEASES: At December 31, 1997, Seminole was obligated under certain leases of generating facilities and transportation equipment for which base lease terms expire on various dates through 2009. The lease of the generating facilities contains a variable interest rate component that could affect future lease payments. Base rental obligations under these leases are payable as follows: Year ending December 31, 1998 $ 39,508,208 1999 $ 40,201,628 2000 $ 40,705,066 2001 S 40,705,066 2002 S 40,054,734 Thereafter S 262,976,788 These leases provide for renewals and options to purchase at fair market value at various dates or upon expiration. Rental payments for these transportation equipment leases totaled $4,557,481 for both 1997 and 1996. These payments were included as a cost of fuel inventory and expensed based on the tons of coal burned throughout the year. NOTE 12 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES: Seminole is purchasing a significant portion of the coal for the plant under a long-term contract expiring in 2010. Contract terms specify minimum annual purchase commitments, subject to force majeure conditions, and prices, which are subject to adjustment for changes in costs. In addition, Seminole has long-term contracts expiring through 2010 for transportation of substantially all coal purchases. Contract terms include a minimum cost as determined by a base quantity of tons shipped and prices, which are subject to adjustment for
I changes in costs. Total charges under these long-term contracts were approximately $110 million and $123 million in 1997 and - 1996, q respectively. ' Seminole has established an external nuclear decommissioning trust fund (NDTF) in compliance with regulations prescribed by the Nuclear l Regulatory Commission. The trust fund balance of approximately $3.2 l million represents Seminole's cumulative share at December 31, 1997 of the estimated sinking fun'd reserve required to decommission CR3. Annual cash deposits will continue to be made to the NDTF representing Seminole's annual share of the projected sinking fund requirements. These amounts will be recovered from members through rates annually. l Based upon a site specific study completed in 1994, Seminole's total share of the projected cost of decommissioning is approximately $7.2 million stated in 1996 dollars, and decommissioning expenditures are. expected to occur over a twenty-six year period ending in the year 2041. In January 1993, Seminole began purchasing power from an IPP under a twenty year agreement which requires the purchase of 295 megawatts of capacity by Seminole from a generating station that was constructed and is being operated by the IPP on a site leased from Acuera. During the initial ten years of the agreement, Seminole is required to purchase an additional 145 megawatts of capacity to be supplied by the IPP from an existing coal-fired generating facility. Under the terms ! of the agreement Seminole will receive this capacity on a first call l basis, subject to certain restrictions as to its use. Seminole is I obligated to make annual "take or pay" capacity payments of- l approximately $34.6 million over the remaining five years of the initial ten years and approximately $21 million over the final ten years of the agreement. Total charges under this long-term contract were approximately $49 million and $48 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively. In 1993, Seminole entered into an agreement with the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) in which JEA will provide Seminole with 52 megawatts of firm capacity from January 1, 1995 through December 31,- 2001. This "take or pay" contract obligates Seminole to make annual capacity payments ranging from approxiinately $2.3 million to $2.6 million over the remaining four years of the contract. Total charges under this long-term contract were approximately $2.0 million in both 1997 and 1996. During 1993, Seminole entered into an agreement with CFC and NCSC whereby, beginning in 1994, Seminole began receiving the periodic net proceeds and certain other rights related to the NCSC refinancing of its debt associated with certain transportation equipment leases with a variable rate financing by CFC. In exchange, Seminole is at risk to make net payments to CFC in the event that the variable rate,
currently 6.6%, on the CFC internal funding which has a balance of
$17.2 million at December 31, 1997, averages more than 16.0% over the remaining seven year life of the agreement. The periodic net proceeds or payments are credited or recovered through the fuel adjustment clause.
In January 1994, Seminole entered into a "take or pay" agreement with the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) in which OUC provided Seminole with 75 megawatts of firm capacity during 1996 and will provide 125 megawatts of firm capacity from January 1, 1997 through December 31, 2000 with a minimum annual obligation of approximately $6.7 million. Additionally the contract calls for OUC to provide 75 megawatts of firm capacity from January 1, 2001 through May 31, 2004 with a minimum annual obligation of approximately $4.0 million for 2001 through 2003 and $1.7 million during 2004. Total charges under this long term contract were approximately $9.2 million in 1997 and S5.7 million in 1996. During 1995, Seminole completed the process of obtaining all certifications and permits necessary to construct a 440 MW combined cycle generating facility on a Seminole owned site in Hardee County, Florida. At December 31, 1997 and 1996 approximately S3.6 million is included in Construction Work in Progress related to this facility. This project, once scheduled to go in service in 1999, was postponed for three years by Seminole's Board of Trustees as a result of a new agreement with FPC. Under this agreement, FPC will supply Seminole with additional electric power for three years beginning in 1999. Seminole continues to evaluate the option of purchasing power from other power suppliers in order to determine whether the Hardee facility should be constructed for operation beginning in 2002 or if a more viable option exists. It is expected that a decision will be made during 1999. In the normal course of business Seminole has ongoing disputes with some of its power suppliers. Additionally, some of the billings received by Seminole for purchased power are subject to adjustment based on the actual costs of the seller. During 1997 and 1996, several disputes were settled resulting in refunds relating to purchased power costs recorded in prior periods in the amounts of approximately S300 thousand and $3 million, respectively, not including interest. Also during 1997 and 1996, refunds were received in the aggregate amounts of approximately $4.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, not including interest, for adjustments to reflect actual costs related to power billings from prior periods. These amounts were recorded in both years as reductions to purchased power expenses.
Seminole is a party to litigation involving various claims arising in the normal course of business. In tho opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially affect Seminole's financial statements. I { a l i
