Dear Sir:

On July 14, 1987, Dutpiesne Light Company fi1ed, on behalf of Ohio Edison Company (OE), an Appliention for License Amendment.

and Approval in Connection wit.h Sale and Leaseback Transactions J

by OE.

On July 31, 1987, Duquesne Light Company filed on behalf

)

of The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CET) and The Toledo Edison Company (TED), an Appliention far License Amendment and Approva1 in Conneetion uith Sa1e and Leaseback Transactions by CEI and TED.

The NRC published a S h o.l l y notice of these applientions on August 12, 1987 (52 Fed. Heg. 29,909, 29,915). By separate letters dat ed Sept ember 1R, 1987, OE and CEI/TFD identified potential equity investors t ha t.

might-participate in l

the transactions.

On September 23, 1987, the NRC approved the l

applientions.

The September 18 letters identiried, where possible, the names of subsidiaries which were believed would participate as e(luity i n ve s t.o rs, but because of the prospective nature of the transactions, the precise unbnidiarie, could not always be iden t. i f i ed.

Indeed, a new subsidiary is s ome t. i me s formed just. to pp 8709300195 070928 I

l

SHAw. PITTM AN, PoTTs & TROWBRIDGE A PARTNERSHIP INCLUDING PROFES$ TONAL CORPORATIONS participate in such transactions.

Accordingly, for review and l

. approval purposes, the financial statements of the parent corporations of potential equity investors were submitted.

Thus, in OE's September 18 letter, Chase Manhattan Capital Markets Corporation was ident.ified as a subsidiary that might act as an equity investor, while the financial statemerts for its parent, the Chase Manhattan Corporation, were submitted for review and approval.

S imil arl y, in CEI/TED's September 18 letter, llousehold Finance Corporation was identified as a. subsidiary that might act as.a potential equit.y investor for its parent, liousehold International, and the finacial statements for llousehold International were provided for review and approval.

This Friday, Applicants learned that the equity investors above intend to vary the participation of their subsidiaries.

Chase Manhattan Corporat. ion will use another wholly owned subsidiary, Chase Manhattan Realty Leasing Corporation, as the equity investor, llousehold International will participate not only through Household Finance Corporation, but also through Alexander.ilumilton Life Insurance company, another wholiy cuned subsidiary.

This information should not affect the approval granted in Amendment 1 to NPF-73 or necessitate further NRC 1leensing action.

The parent corporations of the potential equity inyestors were idenLified in the September 18 subuittais through the provision of financial statements, and it was the information on the parent corporations that the NRC reviewed and found satisfactory before issuing the license amendment.

The September 18 letters indicated that subsidiaries of the parent corporations would act as the equit y investors, and NPF-73 aut horized such transactions.

Applicants bring this matt er to your attention only to ensure the accuracy of their re p re se n t a t. i ons.

In addit,lon to the above information, Applicants learned of one further change.

OE's S e p t.embe r 18 letter identified Trans Union Leasing Corporation or a subsidiary thereof as one of the pot ent ial equity investors.

OE has learned t h a t.

for tax purposes, it is necessary that an affiliate, not a subsidiary, of Trans Union Lensing Corporation net as the equity investor.

The newly formed affiliate that wishes to act as the equity investor is 11 0 Power Plant

'I n c., a member of the 11 Group lloiding Inc.

family of corporations.

A copy of the most. recent financial statement f or 11 Group IIol d i ng Inc. is provided as attachment 1.

Like Trans Union Leasing Corporat. ion, 11 0 Power Plant Inc. is neit.her a foreign corporation nor affiliated with an eieetric utility.

l I

l To accomodate this slight change, OE reque s t.s that the NRC consider ilG Power Plant lne. as one of the equity investors authorized to pa r t i c i pa t.o in the sale and leaseback transactions.

Two vehinles to accomplish this are suggested. First, the SRC i

could simply issue a letter stating that HG l' owe r Plant Inc. is authorized to participate.

Since lhi Power Plant Inc. would not becomo a licensee, since the transactions involve no transfer of

i l

SH Aw, PITTM AN, PoTTs & TROWB RIDGE l

4 PAnTNcese metuomo encressiowAL conaonArious l

control over the license, and since Amendment No. 1 to NPF-73 applies to "anyone who may acquire an interest under these t ran s ac t i o n s (making the conditions and limitations of the l

license fully appl.icable to HG Power Plant Inc.), it is submitted that the NRC need only issue a letter to authorize HG Power Plant Inc. to act as an equity investor.

A proposed. letter is provided as Attachment 2.

Alternatively, if the NRC feels that more formal licensing action is desirable, OE requests that the NRC issue an addendum to Amendment No. 1 to NPF-73, incorporating into the amendment proposed reference to this submittal. is a addendum.

The NRC could also issue amendment 2 to NPF-73, identical to amendment 1 but including reference to this letter.

With respect t.o either of these actions, no new Sholly notice would be necessary, because OE's proposed transactions have already been fully described in the NRC's Federal Register Not. ice of August 12.

As noted in OE's original appliention, the sale and leaseback transactions must be completed by September 30 to maximize the tax benefits of the transactions.

The closing date for OE's transactions is September 29.

OE therefore asks that the NRC act on this request by September 29.

OE recognizes that this is a ]ast minute request, but because of t he importance and benefits of these transactions, OE seeks the NRC's indulgence.

The potential investment o f IIG Power Plant. Inc. is up to $100 million, and f.inancial benefits of these transactions inure to OE's consumers and improve OE's financial strength and thus its ability to ensure IWPS Unit 2 is operated and maintained under the highest sa f eta st andards.

We appreciate your consideration of these matters.

Sincerely, 4

Certified Public Accountants (312)648-0555 Board of Directors H Group Holding, Inc.

Chicago, Illinois We have examined the consolidated balance sheets of H Group Holding, Inc., and Subsidiaries as of January 31, 1987 and 1986, and.the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and changes in financial position for the years then ended.

Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we con-sidered necessary in the circumstances.

We did not examine the financial statements of a consolidated subsidiary for 1987 and 1986, which statements reflect total assets constituting 37% and 36%,

respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and total income constituting 36% and 31%, respectively, of the consolidated total income.

These statements were examined by other auditors whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for this consolidated subsidiary, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

In our opinion, based upon our examinations and the reports of the other auditors, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of H Group Holding, Inc., and Subsidiaries as of January 31, 1987 and 1986, and the results of the!_ r operations and the changes in their financial position for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a

consistent basis.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

Principles of consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of H Group Holding, Inc., and its subsidiaries (individually and collectively referred to as the " Company") after elimination n

of all material intercompany balances and transactions.

The Company's primary operating subsidiaries are Hyatt Corpora-tion ("Hyatt"), Conwood Company, L.P.

("Conwood") (Note 5),

Braniff, Inc. and Dalfort Corporation ("Dalfort",

formerly Braniff Airways, Incorporated).

Certain amounts in 1986 have been reclassified to conform with the 1987 presentation.

Marketable securities:

The portfolio of marketable securities is stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market.

Inventories:

Inventories, consisting primarily of food, beverage, tobacco and aircraft parts and supplies, are stated at the lower of average cost or market.

Investments:

Investments in companies or partnerships in which the Company owns 20% but not more than 50% of the common stock or partner-ship interest are accounted for by the equity method.

Invest-ments in partnerships in which the Company owns less than 20%

are stated at cost.

Property and equipment and depreciation and amortization:

Property and equipment are stated at cost.

Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets, primarily by the straight-line method.

Summary of significant accounting policies:

(continued)

Product lines:

Product lines of Conwood are being amortized by the straight-line method over their estimated economic useful lives of approximately 23 to 28 years.

Excess cost of investment over equity:

The-excess cost of investment over net assets acquired (Note 4) and in certain equity investments (Note 3) is being amortized by the straight-line method over periods ranging from 10 to 40 years.

Leasehold acquisition costs:

Costs of acquiring leasehold interests are deferred and amor-tized by the straight-line method over the life of the lease or 40 years, whichever is less.

Investment tax credit:

The Company follows the practice of treating investment tax credits as a reduction of the provision for income taxes in the year in which the related credit arises (flow-through method).

2.

Marketable securities:

The Company's portfolio of marketable securities consists of common and preferred stock, stock options, convertible bonds, publicly traded partnership units, and various types of fixed-income securities including government and corporate bonds.

Acquisition:

On October 10,

1986, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company acquired all of the remaining shares of Dalfort Corporation not held by the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $29,064,000, or

$14.00 per share.

The acquisition and merger have been e

accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the excess of $22,456,000 of acquisition price over the historical carrying value of minority interest has been recorded as goodwill.

Acquisitions:

(continued)

On September 13, 1985, Dalfort purchased a 95% limited partner-ship interest in Conwood Company, L.P.

("Conwood"), a producer of smokeless tobacco products.

The acquisition was consummated at a purchase price of approximately $402,000,000.

Funding for the acquisition was obtained from the following sources:

(i) S62,000,000 from the cash of Conwood Corporation (the pre-decessor company); (ii) $20,000,000 from capital contributions of the partners of Conwood; (iii) S110,000,000 f rom a subordina-ted loan from a subsidiary of the Company; and (iv) $210,000,000 from a secured bank loan.

The purchase price exceeded the historical net book value of Conwood Corporation's assets at September 13, 198 5 by approximately $25 8,00 0,00 0.

The acquisition has been accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the purchase price was allo-cated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired on the basis of their appraised fair value at September 13, 1985.

The excess purchase price remaining after such allocation of approximately $32,000,000 has been recorded as goodwill and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 40-year period.

On January 29, 1986, Conwood Capital Corporation (Capital"),

a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conwood, issued its 14 1/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures Due 1998

("the Debentures")

in the principal amount of $210,000,000 (Note 8).

The net proceeds f rom the sale of the Debentures have been applied to repay in full the $110,000,000 subordinated loan from a subsidiary of the Company and approximately $100,000,000 of the secured bank loan.

Concurrent with the sale of the Debentures, the remain-ing balance of indebtedness outstanding under the secured bank loan of approximately $110,000,000 was assigned to an affiliated partnership (Note 8).

Receivables, long-term portion:

During the year ended January 31, 1987, the Company purchased participation in the amounts of $20,000,000 and $10,000,000, respectively, in bank loans made to an affiliated hotel partnership apd an unrelated company.

The $20,000,000 parti-cipation, which is secured by a second mortgage on a hotel property, bears interest at 1/2% over the prime rate and is payable in monthly installments of interest only, with a final maturity in June 1991.

The $10,000,000 participation bears interest at 13 1/2% and is payable in semiannual installments of interest only until 1994, with a final maturity in 1998.

At January 31, 1986, receivables, long-term portion, included the Company's participation amounting to approximately

$33,667,000 in a secured loan f rom a bank to Dalfort Corpora-tion (Note 7).

On December 24, 1986, at which time the unpaid principal balance had been reduced to an amount which equaled the Company's participation, the bank assigned all of its remaining rights under the loan agreement to the Company.

Accordingly, at January 31, 1987, the Company's participation and the note payable from Dalfort Corporation are deemed to be intercompany balances and have been eliminated from the courolidated financial statements.

Commitments and contingencies:

The company covers certain qualified employees under various retirement and savings plans (defined contribution plans).

These plans allow employees to make voluntary contributions.

The Company's contributions to these plans an.ounted to

$7,500,000 and $6,100,000 for 1987 and 1986, respectively.

During 1987, one the Company's subsidiaries terminated one of its defined benefit plans and implemented a new, substantially identical plan.

In connection therewith, excess assets of the terminated plan of approximately $12,500,000 reverted to such subsidiary.

One of the Company's subsidiaries adopted a profit-sharing and stock ownership plan during the year ended January 31, 1985.

The Company's contribution to this plan amounted to approxi-mately $300,000 and $2,300,000 in 1987 and 1986, respectively.

The Company is a guarantor of several mortgage notes on hotels operated by the Company under leases where the Company is, in any event, obligated to pay sufficient rent to amortize these mortgage notes.

Commitments and contingencies:

The Company is a general partner in various partnerships owning hotel properties which are subject to mortgage indebtedness.

These mortgage agreements generally limit the lender's recourse to security interests in assets financed and/or other assets of the partnership and/or general partner (s) thereof.

It is k}

the opinion of Company management that the current market value of each of these hotel properties exceeds the related mortgage indebtedness.

The Company is committed, under certain conditions, to invest or loan up to approximately $73,200,000 to joint ventures and partnerships developing and constructing hotel properties.

The company has executed completion guarantees of approxi-s mately $11,500,000 for three hotels presently being construc-

~

ted.

The Company has guaranteed the repayment of indebtedness of an affiliated hotel company in an amount not to exceed

$13,500,000.

The Company has guaranteed performance of its responsibilities under management contracts and leases for the operation of various arenas and convention centers.

The total of such per-formance guarantees was

$3,500,000 at January 31, 1987.

The Company has guaranteed outstanding letters of credit aggre-gating approximately S11,500,000 at January 31, 1987.

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions.

The Company and its legal counsel are of the opinion that the actions will not result in any material liability.

Commitments and contingencies:

(continued)

The Internal Revenue Service has completed a field examination of the federal income tax returns of the Company for the years ended January 31, 1974 through 1982.

Certain issues were raised which have resulted in proposed adjustments.

The Company recently concluded settlement discussions with the Internal Revenue Service during which a substantial portion

=

of the proposed adjustments were resolved.

With regard to those adjustments which were accepted by the Company, a significant portion are

" timing adjustments",

that is, a

deduction disallowed for the year under

audit, however, allowable in a subsequent year.

The remaining unaccepted adjustments will be contested by the Company, since it is the company's view, based on the opinion of legal counsel, that the positions taken by the Company are correct and will ultimately be sustained.

The Internal Revenue Service has recently commenced a field audit examination of the federal income tax returns of the Company for the years ended January 31, 1983 through 198 5.

While the Company cannot predict the results or actions which may be taken upon completion of the 1983-1985 examinations, it is the Compan y ' s view that the amounts provided for income tax liabilities and interest thereon are adequate.

11.

Leased assets and commitments:

The Company leases

land, hotels,
motels, aircraft, airport terminal facilities and equipment under both capital and operating leases.

Most of the leases for hotels and motels contain renewal options which enable the Company to retain use of the facilities in desirable operating areas and require the Company to pay executory costs, including taxes, maintenance and insurance.

Generally, the capital leases for hotels and motels provide for contingent rentals based on percentages of gross sales.

The operating leases for hotels base the rental payments, in most cases, upon profit before depreciation, debt service and income taxes.

Operating lease agreements covering aircraft provide for minimum and contingent rental payments.

No aircraft contingent rental was payable during 1987 and 1986.
