The bonds are not callable prior to maturity'.

The bonds were sold at a premium of $100,615, which is being amortized over the life of the bond issue. The unamortized balance of $87,479 is included in bond principal.

i NOTE D - COMMITMENTS l

Interconnection Agreement The City of Taunton, acting by vote of its Municipal Lighting l Plant Commission, has entered into an agreement with Montaup l Electric Company, dated July 31, 1970, as amended, concerning interconnection of electrical operations, purchase and sale of kilowatt capacity, and construction by Taunton of a generating unit of approximately 110 megawatt capability. The agreement-is for a period of twelve years following the commencement of operations of Unit No. 9 on December 1, 1975. Under the inter- l connection agreement, the City agrees to sell and Montaup agrees i to purchase all capacity of Unit No. 9 not utilized by the City with a maximum not to exceed 95 megawatts in the first year 6f operation and on a declining scale in subsequent years. It is estimated that by the twelfth year following commencing of regular operations, Taunton will recapture all of Unit No. 9 capacity. The Plant credited to sales for resale approximately

$10,663,000 of capacity and energy charges billed to Montaup Electric Company in 1979 for its share of power under the inter-connection agreement. This agreement includes a provision which provides that Taunton wl 1 purchase 8.2163% of the capacity and associated energy from Montaup's Somerset No. 6 generating unit for the periud November 1, 1978 through October 31, 1984 and 1.7123% of the capacity and associated energy from the Canal No. 2 generating unit, 50% of which is owned by Montaup, for the period November 1, 1978 through October 31, 1982.

December 31, 1979 NOTE D - COMMITMENTS - Continued Entitlements The Plant has entered into agreements to participate as a joint owner in two nuclear generating units as follows:

Ownership Lead Expenditures as Unit Share I:articipant Location of December 31, 1979 Pilgrim Unit Boston _ Plymouth,

, No. 2 .6% Edison Mass. $1,778,123 Seabrook Units No. 1 Public Seabrook,

, and No. 2 .10034% Service N.H.

Company of New Hampshire 896,162

$2.674.285 The expenditures of $2,674,285 are included in construction work in progress as of December 31, 1979. Due to delays in obtaining required regulatory approvals, it is not possible to estimate when the nuclear generating units will be completed or the total i expenditures to be incurred by the Plant for its share of con-struction costs.

As the result of an adverse court decision upholding the General Services Administration's decision to preclude nuclear develop-ment of the Charlestown, Rhode Island site, New England Power Company, as lead participant of Charlestown Units No. 1 and No. 2 has cancelled construction of the units pursuant to Section 23 of the Joint Ownership Agreement NEPCO Nuclear Units, as amended.

Costs to date, amounting to $177,372, were charged to operat' ions in 1979. The Plant will be billed for its share (.5%) of all costs resulting from the cancellation. Such costs are not

. deemed to be material. .

Leases J

The Plant leases data processing equipment under operating leases expiring during the next three years. The annual rental, charged to operations, is $40,428.

. NOTES TO' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED l December 31, 1979 NOTE E - CONTINGENCIES Several contractors have initiated litigation to recover additional costs alleged to have been incurred during the construction of Unit No. 9. The Lightirg Plant has disputed these claims which total approximately $282,000. Although it is not possible to determine the outcome of this litigation, management of the Lighting Plant does not anticipate that the ultimate disposition of these suits, even if adversely decided, will have a material adverse effect on earnings or financial position of the Plant since such amounts would be capitalized to the cost of Utility Plant.

NOTE F - CASH Municipal Lighting Plant cash is in the custody of the City of Taunton Treasurer and is commingled with other city funds.
