Depreciation for nuclear utilityplant production assets is provided on the modified sinking fund method under the amended phase-in plan adopted to conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 92 for 1990, and, for 1989, on the modified sinking fund method under the original phase-in plan adopted prior to application of FASB Statement No. 92 (see Note K). The straight-line method is used for all other assets, except nuclear fuel. The cost of units of property retired or replaced is re-moved from utility plant accounts and charged to accumulated depreciation. | ||
Nuclear Fuel: Nuclear fuel usage is charged to fuel expense based on the quantity of heat produced for electric generation. | Nuclear Fuel: Nuclear fuel usage is charged to fuel expense based on the quantity of heat produced for electric generation. Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the permanent storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel removed from nuclear reactors. Allegheny currently pays to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L), co-owner of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), its portion of DOE fees for such future disposal services. | ||

Margin Stabilization Plan: Allegheny has established a margin stabilization plan which has been approved by REA. Under the provisions of the plan, Allegheny develops a budgeted margin each year based on a targeted Times Interest Earned Ratio (TIER) of 1.06. If the actual margin realized is in excess of the TIER, Allegh-eny records the difference as a reduction of the current year's operating revenues and as a liabilityto its members. Conversely, if the actual margin realized is less than the TIER, Allegheny records the difference as an addition to the current year' operating revenues and as a receivable from its members. The liabilityor receivable l recorded at the end of each year is incorporated into Allegheny's rate structure for the following year through a cost-of-service billing adjustment made by Allegheny to its members. During the years ended October 31, 1990 and 1989, operating revenues were reduced by $ 6.4 million and $ 4.9 million, respectively, due to actual margins exceeding the TIER. These amounts are included in accounts payable to members at October 31, 1990 and 1989. | |||
The aforementioned margin stablization plan willremain in effect through October 31, 1991. | |||

SUMMARY
OF SIGNIFICANTACCOUNTING POLICIES Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Allegheny) is a rural electric cooperative utility established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Financing assistance is provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Electrification Administration (REA) and, therefore, Allegheny is subject to certain rules and regulations promulgated for rural electric borrowers by REA. Allegheny is a genera-tion and transmission cooperative, providing power supply to fourteen owner/
members who are rural electric distribution cooperative utilities providing electric power to consumers in certain areas of Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Allegheny maintains its accounting records in accordance with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's chart of accounts as modified and adopted by REA.
Electric UtilityPlant and Depreciation: Electric utility plant is stated at cost, which includes an allowance for funds used during construction. Depreciation for nuclear utilityplant production assets is provided on the modified sinking fund method under the amended phase-in plan adopted to conform to Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 92 for 1990, and, for 1989, on the modified sinking fund method under the original phase-in plan adopted prior to application of FASB Statement No. 92 (see Note K). The straight-line method is used for all other assets, except nuclear fuel. The cost of units of property retired or replaced is re-moved from utility plant accounts and charged to accumulated depreciation.
Nuclear Fuel: Nuclear fuel usage is charged to fuel expense based on the quantity of heat produced for electric generation. Under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is responsible for the permanent storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel removed from nuclear reactors. Allegheny currently pays to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company (PP&L), co-owner of Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), its portion of DOE fees for such future disposal services.
Cost of Decommissioning Nuclear Plant: Allegheny's portion of the estimated decommissioning costs of SSES is charged to operating expenses over the estimated useful life of the plant. As required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in 1990 Allegheny established a Decommissioning Trust Fund (Trust) which is restricted for use to ultimately decommission SSES. No payments were required to be made to the Trust in 1990. Included in other investments is $ 4.1 million of funds which
,
Allegheny's Board of Directors has restricted for future payments to the Trust.

A NOTE A (continued)
Alloroance for Funds Used During'onstruction: Allowance for funds used during construction represents the cost of directly related borrowed funds used for construction of or additions to an electric utility plant. The allowance is capitalized as a component of the cost of electric utility plant while under construction.
Investments in Associated Organizations: Investments in associated organizations are carried at cost.
Preliminary Surveys: Costs of preliminary surveys for potential development projects are recorded as deferred charges in other noncurrent assets. Ifconstruction of a project results from such surveys, the deferred charges are transferred to the cost of the facilities. If a preliminary survey is abandoned, the costs incurred are written off.
Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statements of cash flows, Allegheny consid-ers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Short-Tenn Investments: Short-term investments are carried at cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
Other Investments: Other investments include United States government obliga-tions, corporate obligations, and Common Stocks (marketable equity securities).
The U.S. government and corporate obligations are stated at cost which approxi-mates market value. Marketable equity securities are carried at the lower of their aggregate cost or market value. As of October 31, 1990, their cost was $ 984,000 and their market value was $ 807,000. Changes in net unrealized losses on noncurrent marketable equity securities are recorded directly in a separate equities'ccount and are not included in the determination of net margin. The change in net unreal-ized loss reflected in the equities section for the year ended October 31, 1990 is
$ 177,000.
Income Taxes: Investment tax credits, other than those sold through the safe harbor lease arrangement, are accounted for under the flow-through method whereby credits are recognized as a reduction of income tax expense in the year in which the credit is utilized for tax purposes.
Variations in the customary relationship between pretax accounting income and income tax expense are the result of patronage dividends. Net operating losses for financial and tax reporting purposes differ as a result of timing differences relating primarily to depreciation.

NOTE A (continued)
Margin Stabilization Plan: Allegheny has established a margin stabilization plan which has been approved by REA. Under the provisions of the plan, Allegheny develops a budgeted margin each year based on a targeted Times Interest Earned Ratio (TIER) of 1.06. If the actual margin realized is in excess of the TIER, Allegh-eny records the difference as a reduction of the current year's operating revenues and as a liabilityto its members. Conversely, if the actual margin realized is less than the TIER, Allegheny records the difference as an addition to the current year' operating revenues and as a receivable from its members. The liabilityor receivable l recorded at the end of each year is incorporated into Allegheny's rate structure for the following year through a cost-of-service billing adjustment made by Allegheny to its members. During the years ended October 31, 1990 and 1989, operating revenues were reduced by $ 6.4 million and $ 4.9 million, respectively, due to actual margins exceeding the TIER. These amounts are included in accounts payable to members at October 31, 1990 and 1989.
The aforementioned margin stablization plan willremain in effect through October 31, 1991.
Reclassification: The $ 1.8 million of investments included in other noncurrent assets in the 1989 financial statements has been reclassified to other investments to conform with the 1990 presentation.

NOTE C SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC S'FATION I
Allegheny owns a 10% undivided interest in SSES. PP&L owns the remaining 90%.
Both participants provide their own financing. Allegheny's portion of costs associ-ated with the station totalled $ 629 million and $ 618 million at October 31, 1990 and 1989, respectively. Allegheny's share of anticipated costs for ongoing construction and nuclear fuel for SSES is estimated to be approximately $ 60 million over the next five years. Allegheny receives a portion of the total station output equal to its percentage ownership. The statement of operations reflects Allegheny's share of, fuel and other operating costs associated with the station.
NOTE D INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATED ORGANIZATIONS Investments in associated organizations consist primarily of National Rural Utili-ties Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC) patronage capital, "Capital Term Certificates" and "Subordinate Term Certificates," and National Bank for Coopera-tives (CoBank) "C" stock and "E" stock. Certificates bear interest at 3% and 4% and begin maturing in 2014.
Allegheny is required to maintain these investments pursuant to certain loan and guarantee agreements.
NOTE E NOTES PAYABLE Allegheny has a short-term line of credit available with CFC of $ 21.4 million. There were no amounts outstanding at October 31, 1990 or 1989. The interest rate is generally at prime plus 1%. Restrictions are imposed under the line of credit arrangement including, among other things, maintenance of ratio requirements under existing long-term debt arrangements and limitation of total short-term indebtedness outstanding to an amount not to exceed the remaining unadvanced portion of certain existing REA long-term loan commitments ($ 43.0 million at October 31, 1990).
Notes payable at October 31, 1990 and 1989 consist of Pollution Control Revenue Bonds issued by an Industrial Development Authority on Allegheny's behalf. The bonds are subject to purchase on demand of the holder and remarketing on a "best efforts" basis. Sinking fund redemption is scheduled in varying amounts through 2014, and interest is due monthly at variable rates (5.5% to 7.1% for 1990 and 5.9%
to 8.0% for 1989). The bonds are convertible to a fixed interest rate and fixed term at Allegheny's option. $ 1.8 million of investments included in other investments at both October 31, 1990 and 1989 relate to a debt service reserve fund required under the bond indenture.

NOTE F LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt consists principally of mortgage notes payable for electric utility plant to REA and to the United States of America acting through the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) and guaranteed by REA. Substantially all the assets of Allegheny are pledged as collateral. Long-term debt consists of the following:
October 31 1990 1989 (In Thousands)
Mortgage notes payable to FFB at interest rates varying from 7.338%
to 13.820% in 1990 and 7.329% to 13.820% in 1989, due in varying amounts through 2021 $ 493,860 $ 491,942 Mortgage loan payable to CFC, payable in various quarterly installments, including interest through January 2015.
Variable rates ranged from 9.125% to 9.75% in 1990 and 9.25% to 11.00% in 1989 $ 2,004 $ 2,033 Notes payable to CFC, payable in various quarterly installments, including interest through October 2019. Variable rates ranged from 9.125% to 9.75% in 1990 and 9.5% to 11.00% in 1989 $ 3,123 $ 693 5% mortgage notes payable to REA due in varying amounts through 2019 $ 5,719 $ 4,015 Other $ 20 $ 39
$ 504,726 $ 498,722 Less current portion 9,695 8,803
$ 495,031 $ 489,919 Allegheny has the option on FFB promissory note advances to elect (subject to REA approval) an interim maturity date of two years after the date of the advance. At the date of the advance or on the maturity of an interim advance, Allegheny may also designate that it desires a long-term maturity up to a maximum of 34 years from the end of the calendar year in which the note was issued. At October 31, 1990, Allegheny had $ 25.8 million of advances maturing within one year which it, intends to convert to long-term obligations, either by rolling them over for addi-tional two-year periods or extending them to facility life-time financing, in accor-dance with the mortgage agreement.

NOTE F (continued)
Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the four years subsequent to October 31, 1991 are as follows (in thousands):
1992 $ 10,912 1993 11,661 1994 12,102 1995 12,496 The above maturity schedule reflects management's intent to convert FFB advances with interim maturity dates to long-term debt. Allegheny has used an interest rate it estimates to be an appropriate long-term rate, based on the October 31, 1990 interest rate, to compute the annual principal requirements.
Allegheny is required by mortgage covenants to maintain certain levels of interest coverage and annual debt service coverage. Allegheny was in compliance with such requirements at October 31, 1990.
During 1990 and 1989, Allegheny incurred interest costs of $ 43.0 million and $ 42.7 million, respectively. Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized, was $ 41.9 million and $ 41.7 million, respectively.
NOTE G INCOME TAXES At October 31, 1990, Allegheny had available nonmember net operating loss carryforwards of $ 16.9 million for financial reporting purposes and $ 158.5 million for tax reporting purposes expiring through 2005 and investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $ 33.8 million for both financial and tax reporting purposes, expiring through 2003. Allegheny also had operating loss carryforwards attributable to member activities of $ 19.2 million for financial reporting purposes and $ 155;0 million for tax reporting purposes which may be carried forward indefinitely. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of investment tax credit allowable as a result of a carryforward must be reduced by 35%.
In 1983, Allegheny sold certain investment and energy tax credits and depreciation deductions pursuant to a safe harbor lease. The proceeds from the sale, including interest earned thereon, have been deferred and are being recognized over the term of the lease (30 years). The net proceeds and related interest were required by REA to be used to retire outstanding FFB debt.
Under the term of the safe harbor lease, Allegheny is contingently liable in varying amounts in the event the lessor's tax benefits are disallowed and in the event of certain other occurrences. The maximum amount for which Allegheny was contingently liable approximated $ 20 million at October 31, 1990. Payment of this contingent liabilityhas been guaranteed by CFC.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE H RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Allegheny has an arrangement with an associated organization, Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association (PREA), under which PREA provides Allegheny with certain management, general, and administrative services on a cost reimbursement basis. Total costs for the services provided for the years ended Ocotober 31, 1990 and 1989 were $ 3.1 million and $ 2.6 million, respectively.
NOTE I COMMITMENTSAND CONTINGENCIES Allegheny and PP&L are members of certain insurance programs which provide coverage for property damage to members'uclear generating plants. Allegheny's portion of the facilities at SSES is insured against property damage losses up to
$ 218.5 million under these programs. Allegheny is also a member of an insurance program which provides coverage for the cost of replacement power during prolonged outages of nuclear units caused by certain specified conditions. Under the property and replacement power insurance programs, Allegheny could be assessed retrospective premiums in the event the insurers'osses exceed their reserves. The maximum amount Allegheny could be assessed under these pro-grams during the current policy year is $ .7 million.
Allegheny's public liabilityfor claims resulting fro'm a nuclear incident is currently limited to $780.7 million under provisions of the Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988 (Act), which extended the Price-Anderson Act to August 1, 2002. Allegheny is protected against this potential liabilityby a combination of commercial insur-ance and an industry retrospective assessment program.
In the event of a nuclear incident at any of the facilities owned by others and covered by'he Act, Allegheny could be assessed up to $ 12.6 million per incident, but not more than $2 million in a calendar year.
Allegheny is currently constructing a transmission facility which is estimated to cost a total of $ 2 million. Financing is being provided by REA ($ 1.4 million) and CFC ($ .6 million).
NOTE J SALE/LEASEBACKARRANGEMENT On June 30, 1988, Allegheny completed the sale and simultaneous leaseback of its
'ydroelectric generation facility at the Raystown Dam (the Facility). The Facility was sold to a trustee bank representing Ford Motor Credit Company (Ford) for $ 32 million in cash. Under terms of the arrangement, Allegheny is leasing the Facility Ford's trustee for an initial term of 30 years. Payments under the lease are due'rom in semiannual installments which commenced January 10, 1989. At the end 'of the 30-year term, Allegheny willhave the option to purchase the Facility for an am'ount equal to the Facility's fair market value.
38
NOTE J (continued)
Allegheny also has the option to renew the lease for a five-year fixed rate renewal and three fair market renewal periods, each of which may not be for a term of less than two years. Payments during the fixed rate renewal period are 30% of the average semiannual installments during the initial lease term. Allegheny willretain co-licensee status for the Facility throughout the term of the lease. The gain of $ 1.9 million related to the sale is being recognized over the lease term in the same proportion that the annual rental payments relate to total rental payments.
The payments by Allegheny under this lease were determined in part on the assumption that Ford willbe entitled to certain income tax benefits as a result of the sale and leaseback of the Facility. In the event that Ford were to lose all or any portion of such tax benefits, Allegheny would be required to indemnify Ford for the amount of the additional federal income tax payable by Ford as a result of any such loss.
The leaseback of the Facility is accounted for as an operating lease by Allegheny.
As of October 31, 1990, future minimum lease payments under this lease, which can vary based on the interest paid on the debt used by Ford to finance the transac-tion, are estimated as follows (in thousands):
1991 $ 1,932 1992 1,932 1993 2@61 1994 2361 1995 2@61 Thereafter 55,052 Total Minimum Lease Payments $ 65,999 The future minimum lease payments shown above are for the initial lease term and the five-year renewal period. These payments are based on an assumed interest rate of 8.8% and may fluctuate based on differences between the future interest rate and the assumed interest rate.
Rental expense for this lease totalled $ 2.1 million for the year ended October 31, 1990 and $ 2.0 million for the year ended October 31, 1989.
NOTE K CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE Effective November 1, 1989, Allegheny adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 92, "Regulated Enterprises - Accounting for Phase-in Plans." Under Statement No. 92, a utility may capitalize on its balance sheet the costs deferred under a rate phase-in plan if the plan meets specific criteria including the require-ment that such costs are recovered within 10 years of the date the deferrals began.
Otherwise, the deferred costs must be charged to expense in the period incurred.
39
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
NOTE K (continued)
Under the method of depreciation used by Allegheny for nuclear utility plant production assets prior to November 1, 1989, which was previously approved by REA, the amount of depreciation included in electric rates during the first 10 years of the related assets'ives was substantially less than the amount that would have been included using straight-line depreciation. Accordingly, this method of depre-ciation used for such assets was considered to be a phase-in plan under FASB Statement No. 92 that did not meet the 10-year recovery period established by FASB Statement No. 92.
In order to comply with FASB Statement No. 92, Allegheny amended its phase-in plan. Under the amended phase-in plan, which has received REA approval, depreciation of nuclear utility plant production assets is based one modified sinking fund method over a 10-year period commencing with 1990 and ending in 1999. The modified sinking fund method will result in the cumulative depreciation for the 10-year period being equal to straight-line depreciation over the same 10-year period. Commencing in the year 2000, the straight-line method willbe used by Allegheny for the remaining life of the assets. The net amount of costs deferred at October 31, 1990 under the phase-in plan amended to comply with FASB Statement No. 92 was $ 4.5 million.
Allegheny was also required to record a charge against income in 1990 for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the amount of $ 31.1 million representing the difference in depreciation for nuclear utility plant production assets used by Allegheny under its previous phase-in plan and the straight-line method of depreciation. This charge against income has been recorded as a defi-ciency in an unallocated equity account as of October 31, 1990, since the amount is not allocable to Allegheny's members. Beginning in 1990, all margins recognized by Allegheny are required to be used to reduce this deficiency. In addition, the current year, margin stabilization adjustment (see Note A) was calculated prior to the cumulative effect adjustment.
The adoption of FASB Statement No. 92 resulted in an increase in the 1990 margin before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $ 1.1 million. Pro forma amounts of operations for 1989, as if FASB Statement No. 92 would have been adopted in 1989, approximate the actual operating results reported for 1989.
