The President's iVlessage My fellow shareholders:

Our Company's financial picture showed im-provement in 1975, largely as the result of additional revenues produced from rate increases.

Earnings per share of common stock were$2.70, up from the severely depressed level of$2.21 in 1974.The annual dividend per share of common remained at$1.60.<<'g~-1:i""..,'...-

~~'.~I 4 i'S"j'go into operation.

The second unit is scheduled for commercial service in 1977.The units are expected to have capacities of 821,000 kilowatts each."...industrial sales lagged behind'l974...." Territorial energy sales increased only 2 percent to 24.1 billion kilowatt-hours.

Commercial and resi-dential'sales showed a healthy increase, but indus-trial sales lagged behind 1974~reflecting the general slowdown in the economy.During the fourth quarter some turnaround was experienced in the industrial sector.Total operating revenues were$606 million, up from$461 million in 1974.and net income rose from$72.3 million to$101.6 million.During 19/5 our Company spent$301 million for construction and raised a net of$169 million of new capital.We expect to spend$270 million on construc-tion during 1976 and$826 million for the three years 1976-78.Our energy forecasts indicate that as industrial activity returns to a more normal level, growth in energy usage on the CPZcL system will be at a 7.4 percent annual rate for the next ten years.That growth P'~~.rate would compare with 9 percent for the 1966-75~S period.',l'~, s~"We made substantial reductions in our construction We made substantial reductions in our construc-tion plan in 1974 and again in 1975.The latter reduc-tion represented a reluctant tailoring of the con-struction budget to the amount of capital we~>'@,.".i"~,;.;-.:

j-.;~could reasonably expect to attract.The present-~""i'jfj+i',,.'ji"'">~",...>>plan will support growth in demand at a'~~rate of only 6.5 percent during the next--pz ten years, and may result in shortages.of energy at intervals of peak de-'.';-" mand beginning in1981.Weretain: ':<.some flexibility for moving up the=construction of coal-burning plants if load grows as we ex-pect that it will and earnings improve sufficiently to permit us to obtain the ad-ditional capital on a':.i;..reasonable basis.-'r Peak demand on the sys-tem rose 6.1 percent to 5,060,000 kilowatts in 1975.We placed our second nu-clear generating facility in com-mercial operation in November.It is the first unit of the Brunswick plant to

"...we produced 22 percent of our energy from nuclear plants...." During the year we produced 22 percent of our energy requirements in nuclear plants.74 percent, in coal-burning plants.4 percent in hydro plants.and less than 1 percent by burning oil and natural gas.We are fortunate to have most of our generation from the more plentiful fuels-coal and uranium.In 1976 we expect that 30 percent of total generation will be from , nuclear plants.If it had been necessary for CPAL to produce the same amount of energy it obtained from nuclear plants during 1975 by burning coal or oil at the aver-age cost for our system, the Company's fuel bill would have been increased$52 million."...1975 was a good year for our customers...." In spite of the fact that electric bills have risen sharply, 1975 was a good year for our customers.

too.In 1960 the average CPhL electric bill for 5.067 kilowatt-hours annually required a little less than 2 percent of the average buying income of Carolina families.Income figures for 1975 are not available.

But in 1975 the average CP8cL electric bill for 11.094 kilowatt-hours required less thar;3 percqnt of the 1974 average buying income.Thus, while energy usage more than doubled in the last 15 years, the share of buying income required to pay the bill in-creased much slower.!Our average revenue per kilowatt-hour for sales to residential customers continues to be one of the low-'st for electric companies that operate along the east coast.In January of 1975 we received decisions in the retail rate cases that were filed in late 1973.Also in january we began billing a higher base rate and fuel charge to wholesale customers.

With escalating costs.we found it necessary to file during the summer for another retail rate increase.part of which we began collecting on an interim basis.The details of these rate actions are presented elsewhere in this report.While our revenues are up and earnings have im-proved and while tight cost controls are in effect in every area of our operation.

the Company's earnings have remained below what the regulatory commis-sions have found to be just and reasonable because of the escalating costs in every area of the Company's operation."We are very dependent upon reasonable and re-sponsive regulation

~..." We are very dependent upon reasonable and re-sponsive regulation.

The speed with which reg-ulators act is very important.

In 1975 the North Carolina General Assembly expanded the State Utilities Commission from five to seven members and authorized it to act in three-member panels.The case we filed in July 1975 was decided in February.That is only seven months from filing to final disposition.

In December the North Carolina Commission called for bids from independent firms to study the operation of CPhL and three other utility companies.

This is a step we have publicly advocated.

We are confident that such a study will provide additional evidence for our customers that we are doing a good job for them."...for the remainder of this century, the electric industry must depend primarily on coal and uranium for fuel." Through participation in the Electric Power Re-search Institute.

our Company is involved in the ex-ploration and development of alternative methods of producing electricity.

However.it is very clear that for the remainder of this century the electric industry must depend primarily on coal and uranium for fuel.Other technologies simply will not be commercially available within this period.A small but vocal minority continues to question the safety of nuclear plants.The safety record of this industry is without parallel.Extensive studies indi-cate that the risk involved with nuclear plants is min-imal and controllable so as to make them quite ac-ceptable.and particularly so when one considers the energy choices available to our society"This country needs a cohesive national energy pol-icy.This country needs a cohesive national energy policy.That policy should balance the need to protect the environment with reasonable use of domestic re-sources to supply energy.As it is now.some 50 com-mittees and agencies of the federal government ad-minister a fragmented energy program.Until this in-efficient system is streamlined.

there is little chance for developing a comprehensive program to resolve the national energy dilemma.There is need for much broader public understanding of energy issues.The year just ended was not an easy one for our Company.We hope we have'turned the corner and that the days ahead will be better.I am proud of the 4.700 men and women with whom I work at CP8 L.They have shown commendable flexibility and re-sourcefulness in adapting to changing circumstances and in finding solutions to the varied problems that face us.We also appreciate your continued support and confidence and pledge our best efforts in the chal-lenging days ahead.Respectfully submitted by order of our Board of Directors.

Sincerely yours, March 17, 1976 Chairman/President I~

Financial Net Income, Earnings and Divi'dends Net income for 1975 was$101,622,000 as com-pared with$72,271,000 for 1974.Earnings per share based on the'arger number of shares outstanding were$2.70 as compared with$2.21 in 1974.Div-idends totaling$1.60 per share were paid on common stock during the y'ear.Operating Revenues.Operating revenues from sales of electricity within the service area during 1975 increased$151.2 million over 1974.Rate increases placed into effect since 1970 to recover increased costs resulted in in-*creased revenues of$324,819.000 in 1975.$180,760,000 in 1974 and$68,091.000 in 1973.Sales of electric ene"gy, excluding nonterritorial sales, increased about two percent in 1975.essen-tially the same percentage of growth as in 1974.The small increase during the past two years reflected the effects of energy conservation, relatively mild weather and reduced economic activity.Sales of energy to industrial customers showed a 5 percent net decrease in 1975 from the year earlier.In the fourth quarter.however, industrial sales reflected a 7 per-cent increase over the fourth quarter of 1974.Operating Expenses Operating expenses increased 29 percent or$111.8 million in 1975 as compared with a 43 percent.or$116 million increase in 1974.Cost of fuel for electric generation decreased 1 percent in 1975 after increasing 122 percent in 1974.Total kilowatt-hours generated in fuel-burning plants increased 2 percent in 1975 after decreasing 1 per-cent in 1974.Average costs of fossil fuels increased only 1 percent in 1975 after increasing by 135 percent.in 1974.Nuclear-fueled generation increased by 16 percent in 1975, reflecting the operation of unit two of th'e Brunswick nuclear plant which was declared in commercial operation in November 1975.Deferred fuel cost accounting (begun in 1974 with the implementation of fossil fuel adjustment clauses), resulted in a net charge against income of$20.7 mil-lion in 1975 as compared with a net credit to income in 1974 of$35 million.Deferred fuel costs to be billed in future months reached$35 million at the end of 1974 and dropped to$14.4 million at the end of 1975 principally as a result of a significant drop in the unit cost of fossil fuel burned.Also.for North Carolina retail operations, the Company started billing for higher fuel costs on a current basis effective Septem-ber 1, 1975;and the accumulated deferred and un-billed fuel costs which totaled$12.4 million at that time ($7,942,000 at December 31, 1975)are being collected over.approximately 12 months.Purchased power costs decreased 10 percent in 1975 as compared with an 85 percent increase in 1974.The 1975 decrease reflects a 19 percent reduc-" tion in kilowatt-hours purchased because the Com-pany's own plants generated a greater proportion of energy requirements.

Maintenance expense (excluding employee wages)increased$3.4 million in 1975 as compared with a decrease of$2 million in 1974.During the last quarter of 1975, the Company resumed normal maintenance schedules which were interrupted in 1974 when discretionary maintenance was deferred because of reduc'ed revenues.Other operation and maintenance expenses in-creased in 1975, reflecting the impact of inflation on the costs of goods and services.In 1975 the Company placed in service the initial unit at the Brunswick nuclear power plant which, while having a signif-icantly lower fuel cost than coal-fired plants.has a higher requirement for other operating expenses.Depreciation expense increased$11.1 million in 1975 as compared with$3.7 million in 1974.During 1975 the Company began depreciating the first unit of its Brunswick nuclear plant.and effective October 1,, 1975 adopted revised depreciation rates.The revised rates generally reflect shorter remaining service lives for electric plant in service, which increased depre-ciation expense by$2,538.000.

Taxes other than income taxes reflect increased state and local taxes on revenues and plant in service.The increase in 1975 over 1974 was not as much as normal because in 1974 the Company refined its ac-counting for North Carolina gross receipts taxes.This resulted in a nonrecurring increase of$3,991,000 in expenses in 1974.Income tax expense increased to$45.2 million in 1975 from$16.9 million in 1974.In 1975 the increase resulted primarily from increased operating income before income taxes.Tax expense for 1975 represented 15 cents of each revenue dollar with 8 cents for state and local gov-ernments and 7 cents for federal taxes.This compares with 13 cents, 9 cents and 4 cents, respectively, for 1974.Other Income Other income increased$9.3 million in 1975 as compared with a$22.5 million increase in 1974.The

Financing and Construction Construction expenditures during 1975 totaled$301 million.Of this,$244 million was for generating facilities.

$23 million for transmission and$34 mil-lion for distribution and general facilities.

In addi-tion.nuclear fuel expenditures for 1975 totaled$17.5 million.During 1975 the Company completed the follow-ing financings:

lanuary 1975, four million shares of common stock for net proceeds of$56 million and$22.35 million principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 11'is%Series.due 1994;in March, two million shares of$2.675 Series A Preference Stock for net proceeds of$47.9 million;in May.$100 million prin-cipal amount of First Mortgage Bonds.11%Series.due April 15~1984;and in November, five million shares of common stock for net proceeds of$86.075 million.Proceeds from 1975 financings were used to retire$131.6 million of short-term notes outstanding at the beginning of the year.In addition to financings..funds were provided from the recovery of capital through depreciation and amortization totaling$57 million;from earnings re-tained and invested in the business of$30 million;and from deferred income taxes and investment tax credits totaling$39 million.The Company's construction program for 1976 through 1978 is estimated to require$826 million with$270 million of this amount budgeted for 1976.170 187 Tax Status of Common, Preferred and Preference Dividends Under existing Internal Revenue Service regula-122 135 147 102I 72 22 23 25 27 25 38 1965'66'67'68'69'70'71'72'73'74'75 tions, two percent of dividends paid to common shareholders during 1975 constituted a return of capi-tal for federal income tax purposes and is not taxable as dividend income.All dividends paid in 1975 to holders of preferred and preference stock are taxable as dividend income.Capitalization The Company's capitalization at December 31, 1975 was$2.213,558.580, consisting of 49.9 percent first mortgage bonds, 32.6 percent common equity.15.2 percent preferred and preference stock and 2.3 percent a six-year promissory note.

Intervenors in these proceedings have appealed to the Court of Appeals.South Carolina"A permanent retail rate increase of 18.3 percent (rather than the 21 percent requested in October 1973)was granted by the South Carolina Public Service Commission in January 1975.In the same month, the South Carolina Commission also approved a fossil.fuel adjustment clause similar to the one approved in North Carolina, which continues to be in effect in South Carolina.Wholesale An increase in wholesale rates and a fossil fuel adjustment clause for municipalities, private utilities, and'rural electric cooperatives were placed in effect by the Company in January 1975.Applica-tion for these increases was made to the Federal Power Commission in July 1974.Hearings on the case began in April 1975.but a final decision is pending.During 1975, these increases produced additional revenues of$50,732.000

($19,978.000 from base rates and$30,754.000 from the fossil fuel adjustment charge), which are subject to refund.Increasing costs in almost every area of the Com-pany's operations required that the Company file for additional rate relief in 1975.North Carolina In July 1975, an application to increase retail rates in North Carolina by approximately 22 percent was filed by the company, and a 12 percent interim in-crease was granted by the North Carolina Utilities Commission in August.Hearings on the general rate increase began in December 1975 and were con-cluded in January.In February.the commission ren-dered its decision allowing an increase of 22 percent or$82 million annually which was the full amount requested.

In its order.the commission redesigned all resi-dential rates and included a basic facilities charge regardless of the kilowatt-hours used.In addition.it instituted a higher summer than winter rate for all-electric customers for June through September usage.The commission also modified the approved fuel charge to reflect nuclear fuel costs and purchase and interchange power.and rolled more of the current fuel costs into the basic rates.

South Carolina The Company also made application in July 1975 for a rate increase of 7.5 percent to South Carolina~residential customers.

This increase was to equalize the residential rates in tVorth Carolina and South Carolina.In August 1975, the Company filed to in-crease retail rates in South Carolina by about 23 per-cent.An interim increase of 12 percent was placed in effect in September.

The South Carolina Public Ser-vice Commission has not yet set a hearing date, but effective March 1, 1976, the full increase was placed into effect subject to refund pending final hearings.Wholesale In December 1975.the Federal Power Commission directed CPgrL to modify the basis of its fuel charge to'holesale customers effective January 1, 1976.The charge must now be based on costs for fossil and nuclear fuel and purchased and interchange power.On January 30, 1976, the Company filed with the Federal Power Commission to increase wholesale rates by approximately 34.5 percent.The increase, based on anticipated 1976 sales, would produce addi-tional annual revenue of$33.7 million for the Com-pany.In addition, the Company is seeking a tempo-rary fuel charge of.088 cents per kilowatt-hour (to be applied over a period of up to 12 months)as a means of recovering

$4.6 million in deferred fuel expenses.On February 27, 1976 the FPC accepted the Com-pany's wholesale rate filing and suspended the effec-tive date until May 1.1976.However, the FPC order required the Company to submit revised tariffs re-flecting the elimination of tax normalization.

Peak Pricing Hearings As a result of the growing interest in new methods of rate design and a statutory requirement.

a hearing on peak load pricing.time-of-day metering, conserva-tion, and load management began on December 16, 1975 before the iVorth Carolina Utilities Commission.

The Company filed affidavits setting forth its position and recommended that studies be made to determine whether the benefits of new rate designs would out-weigh the costs.In their testimony.

CP8tL representa-tives described the Company's efforts in load man-agement and its participation in national rate design studies being conducted by the Electric Power Re-search Institute and the Edison Electric Institute.

Construction iVew Facilities On November 3.Unit iVo.2 of the Brunswick plant was placed into commercial operation at 790.000 kilowatts.

$793 million, including the expense for cooling towers and other modifica-tions to the cooling system which are required under present operating and discharge permits.Construction Plan Revision Revised energy forecasts.

coupled with the un-availability of capital on, reasonable terms.caused the Company to make major revisions in construction plans.The revisions involved all future generating units and were designed to reduce capital outlays during the 1976-1979 time period.The current plan supports a growth rate of 6.5 percent'annually

-less than the 7.4 percent com-pounded ten-year growth rate which latest studies indicate will occur.Growth of more than 6.5 percent annually may result in negative reserves in the early 1980s.However, if earnings are sufficient to attract.more capital, the Company could accelerate the con-struction of one or more coal-fired plants.Proposed Construction Unit Brunswick¹1 (821MW)Roxboro¹4 (720MW)Mayo¹1 (720MW)Harris¹1 (900MW)Mayo¹2 (720MW)Harris¹2 (900M W)Undesignated (1150MW)Harris¹4 (900MW)Undesignated (1150MW)Harris¹3 (900MW)Type Nuclear Fossil Fossil Nuclear Fossil Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear Nuclear In-Service Date 4/77 3/80 3/83 3/84 3/85 3/86 3/87 3/88 3/89 3/90 Transmission Lines Authorized Authorized transmission line construction for 1976 and following years includes 286 miles of 500,000-volt line, 650 miles of 230.000-volt line, and 151 miles of 115,000-volt line.Environmental Matters CP8cL spent nearly$1S.3 million during 1975 for construction of environmental protection facilities.

Of this,$8 million went for air quality control equip-ment and$7.3 million for water quality control de-vices.Projects completed during 197S included elec-trostatic precipitators at the Cape Fear, Lee.Sutton, and Weatherspoon plants;modifications to the cir-culating water system at the Weatherspoon plant;and installation of mechanical cooling towers at the Cape Fear plant.Expenditures for environmental protection equipment at new and existing plants are expected to be$34 million in 1976.A cooling tower at Roxboro¹3 is scheduled for completion in 1976.Construction is underway at the Brunswick plant on two natural draft, salt water cooling towers, which are scheduled to be operational by May 1978.However, the Company has challenged that por-tion of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)plant discharge permit which requires construction of the towers for the Brunswick plant and has asked for a re-evaluation of that requirement so that further studies of the present cooling system's impact on marine life in the Cape Fear estuary may be completed and evaluated.

Because construction of towers may not be necessary.

the Company feels that the re-evaluation is clearly in tne public interest.A prehear-ing conference before an EPA administrative judge was held in january 1976;the full hearing is scheduled to begin in Raleigh on june 1.Amendments to the Clean Air Act of 1970 were among the important issues proposed in Congress during 1975.Originally intended to provide more time and flexibility for meeting the strict provisions of the 1970 law, the amendments now being consid-ered by Congress would, instead.increase its restric-tiveness.If adopted.the amendments would close a major portion of the nation's land to industrial de-velopment, nearly double the cost of pollution con-trol equipment for electric plants.greatly increase the electric industry's capital requirements.

and bring about further large increases in the cost of electricity for customers.

Operations Total system energy requirements for 1975 were 25.8 billion kilowatt-hours.

Of this total, about 0.1 billion kilowatt-hours were sold to utilities outside the service area.System load factor was 58.1 percent as compared to 60.2 percent in 1974.System capabil-ity, including long-term contract purchases from other utilities, was 7,071,500 kilowatts.

Total generating capacity is 6,843,500 kilowatts.

Of this, 56.7 percent is from seven steam electric plants burning fossil fuels, 21.8 percent from the Robinson and Brunswick nuclear units, 18.4 percent from 33 internal combustion turbine generators, and the remaining 3.1 percent from four hydroelectric plants.Sources for the total energy produced were: 72.5 percent coal, 22.4 percent nuclear.3.8 percent hydro-electric,.1 percent residual oil,.4 percent No.2 oil, and.8 percent natural gas.The Sutton plant was con-verted from residual oil to coal in January 1975.The r

Peak Loads A new peak load for the system was reached on August 25 when customer demand was'5,060,000 kilowatts, 6.1 percent higher than the 1974 summer peak.A winter peak load of 4,968,000 kilowatts was reached on January 19, 1976.A new record for energy used in one day was set on January 19 when custom-ers required 102,578,000 kilowatt-hours.

The previ-ous one-day record of 97.158.000 kilowatt-hours was on August 26, 1975.Reliability Groups CP&L continues its participation as one of the 30 companies in the Southeastern Electric Reliability Council (SERG).Membership includes all power suppliers with generating capacities of at least 25,000 kilowatts.

The Company is also one of seven electric utilities in the Virginia-Carolinas Reliability Group (VACAR).Improving system reliability for member companies is the principal purpose of both groups.Long-term Coal Contract The Company is currently negotiating with Pick-ands Mather&Company to develop a second deep coal mine in Pike County, Kentucky.In 1974, an agreement was made to develop the first mine from which initial deliveries of coal are expected in 1976.CP&L expects to receive a total of 1.6 million tons per year for 25 years from the two.mines.

This is low sulfur coal which the Company expects will enable it to meet air quality requirements without adding scrubbers to a new plant.Ownership Distribution of Stock Ownership (Common, Preferred, and Preference Stock Combined)Shareholders Shares Number Percent Number Percent The Carolinas......39,510 43.12 8,607,230 22.90 Elsewhere.........52,118 56.88 28,972,820 77.10 Totals...........

.trusts,.or nominees.At the 1975 annual meeting, more than 82 percent of the total shares outstanding were represented in i person or by proxy.The largest beneficial shareholder of record at the end of 1975 had less than 2 percent of the shares outstanding.

Dividend Reinvestment Service Interest in the dividend reinvestment plan con-tinued to increase during 1975.About 4,100 shareholders are participating in the Dividend Rein-vestment Plan initiated by the Company in 1973.Under the plan, Company common.preferred, or preference dividends may be automatically rein-vested in additional shares of common stock.The program is administered by iVorth Carolina National Bank and any questions regarding participa-tion should be directed to NCNB, Dividend Rein-vestment Service, Post Office Box 120, Charlotte, North Carolina 28201.

Customers Although total energy sales increased in 1975 by only 1.9 percent, energy consumption by all classes except industrial was up significantly.

Sales within the service area were 24.1 billion kilowatt-hours compared to 23.6 billion in 1974.Kilowatt-hour sales~to residential customers increased 4.0 percent;sales to commercial customers increased 6.2 percent;sales for resale increased 7.6 percent;and sales to indus-trial customers decreased 5.3 percent.The number of retail customers increased 1.9 per-cent to 660,474.Electric service for resale was supplied to 18 electric membership corporations, 24 municipalities, and 2 privately owned utilities.

These resale customers used 5.4 billion kilowatt-hours in 1975, 22 percent of total Company sales.Of the total residential units served by CPtkL at year's end, 22.4 percent were all-electric.

Similarly, 23.4 percent of the comrr, ercial and 11.2 percent of the industrial customers had total electric facilities.

Residential.Residential customers totaled 560,954, or 84.9 percent of the Company's total customers, and ac-counted for 31.8 percent of 1975 operating revenues.Average annual coitsumption per customer was 11,094 kilowatt-hours, up from 10,861 in 1974.The average annual residential bill of$347.54 was less than 3 percent of the average family buying income for the Carolinas as reported by'Sales iVlanagement ivfagazine's Survey of Buying Power.Commercial The Company's 94,556 commercial customers represented 14.3 percent of the total retail customers and produced 18.4 percent of the operating revenues.In 1975, average annual usage by commercial cus-tomers was 40.049 kilowatt-hours, an increase of 2,088 kilowatt-hours over 1974.Industrial For the year, CP&L's 3,318 industrial customers used 7.8 billion kilowatt-hours, representing a de-crease from 1974 of 5.3 percent.Industrial sales rep-resented 27.7 percent of the total Company operating revenues.Expenditures announced for new and expanded industries in the service area totaled$269,1 million, substantially below the previous one-year high of$658.9 million established in 1974.It is estimated that 8,444 new job opportunities.

with an annual payroll of$51 million, will be pro-vided by this increased industrial activity.Customer Relations In June, the Company launched"Project Com-municate," an intensive program of customer contact to help explain rising electric costs, counsel custom-ers on efficient use of electricity, and answer other questions about the Company and its operations.

The object of the program, designed as an on-going effort to supplement the Company's regular customer communications activities, is greater public under-standing.Over 30,000 customer-households were contacted during the latter half of the year.Average Price of Electricity Paid by Residential Customers (Twelve Months Ending December 31.1975 and 1974)Cents Per Kilowatt-Hour 1975 1974.8.27'.70 5 44 5.50 5.36 5.06 5.01'.80 4.71 4.02'*.'.56 4.18 4.55, 3.78 4.25 3.93 4.09 3.42 3.89 3.67.-..*~"'.', 3.89.3.07""c 3.88 3.67 3.69 3.06 3.61 3.35 3.59 2.74 Place New York, N.Y.Newark.N.l.Boston.Mass.Philadelphia.

SUMMARY

OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES System of Accounts.The accounting records of the~Company are maintained in accordance with uniform systems of accounts prescribed by the Federal Power Commission and the regulatory commissions of North Carolina and South Carolina.Electric Utility Plant.Electric utility plant is stated at original cost.The cost of additions, including re-placements of units of property and betterments, is I charged to utility plant.The Company includes in 1 R such additions an allowance for funds used during construction (8%for 1975 and 1974).Maintenance l and repairs of property and replacements and renew-als of items determined to be less than units of prop-erty are charged to maintenance expense.The cost of units of property replaced or renewed plus removal'g costs, less salvage, is charged to accumulated depre-g.elation.

Utility plant is subject to the lien of the Com-pany's mortgage.~Allowance for Funds Used During Construction.

In accordance with the uniform systems of accounts , prescribed by regulatory authorities, an allowance for funds used during construction is included in con-struction work in progress and credited to income..recognizing that funds used for construction were provided by borrowings, preferred stock, and com-~~mon equity.This accounting practice results in the inclusion in utility plant in service of amounts con-sidered by regulatory authorities as an appropriate cost for the purpose of establishing rates for utility charges to customers over the service lives of the property.Depreciation and Amortization.

Depreciation of utility plant, other than nuclear fuel.for financial reporting purposes is computed on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives and charged principally to depreciation expense.Depreciation provisions as a percent of average depreciable prop-<erty other than nuclear fuel approximated 3.0%in-'975 and 2.8%in 1974.Effective as of October 1, 1975 I the Company adopted revised depreciation rates gen-s erally reflectin shorter estimated useful lives for util-:, ity plant.which increased the provision for deprecia-'ion by$2,538,000 in 1975.Amortization of nuclear~~~~fuel charged to fuel expense (1975,$9,190,000; 1974,..:,$8,757,000) is computed on the unit-of-production

".method.~'Revenues.

Customers meters are read and bills are: rendered on a cycle basis.Revenues are recorded when billed, as is the customary practice in the indus-Deferred Fossil Fuel Inventory Costs.In 1974, pur-suant to state regulatory commission orders, and in January 1975, pursuant to Federal Power Commission order, the Company put into effect automatic fossil fuel adjustment clauses to recover increased fuel costs.The provisions of the clauses result in a time lag between the date increased fuel cost is incurred and the date such cost is billed to customers.

To properly match increased fuel costs with the related revenues, the Company defers, except for North Carolina retail operations, increased fuel cost when incurred and expenses it in the month the related revenue is billed.Beginning September 1, 1975 for North Carolina re-tail operations, the fossil fuel adjustment clause was replaced by an"approved fuel charge" adjustment to basic rates (which results in billing increased fuel costs on a current basis)and the Company was au-thorized to recover the deferred fossil fuel inventory costs accumulated at August 31.1975 by a temporary rate surcharge over an approximate twelve-month period, with matching amortization of the deferred costs (see Note 5).Therefore, as a result of deferred fuel cost accounting, operating expenses include a charge of$20,650,131 in 1975 and a credit of$35,028,046 in 1974 and deferred fossil fuel inven-tory costs on the balance sheet decreased$20,650,131 in 1975 and increased$35,028,046 in 1974, represent-ing the normalization of such costs.Related deferred income taxes have been recorded (see Note 4)and are reflected in income tax expense;and the accumulated deferred tax liability is reflected in Current Portion of Deferred Income Taxes on the balance sheet.Income Taxes.Deferred income tax provisions are recorded only to the extent such amounts are cur-rently allowed for rate-making purposes.In com-pliance with regulatory accounting.

income taxes are allocated between Operating Income and Other In-come, principally with respect to interest charges re-lated to construction work in progress.Deferred in-come taxes are provided relating to the deduction for income tax purposes of a coal mining subsidiary's development costs and such taxes are charged to Other Income.See Note 4 with respect to certain other income tax information.

Investment Tax Credits.Investment tax credits generated and utilized after 1971 have been deferred and are being amortized over the service lives of the property;substantially all credits prior to 1972 were deferred for amortization over five-year periods.At December 31, 1975 the Company had generated but not utilized investment tax credits totaling$14,600,000.

Preferred Dividends.

Preferred stock dividends de-clared and charged to retained earnings include amounts applicable to the first quarter of the follow-ing year, except for the Preferred Stock A.$7.45 Series which dividends are wholly applicable to the year in which declared.Retirement Plan.The Company has a non-contributory retirement plan for all regular full-time employees and is funding the costs accrued under the plan.Retirement plan costs for 1975 and 1974 were approximately

$3,526,000 and$2,421,000, respec-tively.In 1975.the Company amended the plan by changing, among other things, vesting provisions to conform with the requirements of the Employee Re-tirement Income Security Act of 1974.the interest assumption from 4'/z%to 5%, and the amortization of unfunded prior servic.cost over a period of twenty years from January 1, 1975 instead of from January 1., 1974.The effect of these changes on periodic net income is not material.At January 1, 1975, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, the unfunded prior ser-vice cost was approximately

$24 million and the ac-tuarially computed value of vested benefits exceeded assets of the plan by approximately

$22 million.Other Policies.At December 31, 1975 the Company had available lines of credit with various banks and maintains account balances in connection with cer-tain of such lines.Other property and investments are stated principally at cost, less accumulated deprecia-tion where applicable, except for the investment in its coal mining subsidiary which is accounted for on the equity basis.Temporary cash investments are stated at cost, approximating market value.Materials and supplies inventories are stated at average cost.The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful ac-counts receivable (1975,$580,237;1974,$427.876).Bond premium, discount and expense are amortized over the life of the related debt.?:l ,~'L 22 2.CAPITAL STOCK Preferred Stock.without par value.cumulative:

The Company recorded revenues of:.~$71,101,000 in 1975 and$60,81'1,000 in 1974 pur-'<Qsuant to such automatic fossil fuel adjustment clause.~%The resolution of the matter'is pending.In the opin->i>~~~,'ra ion of the Company the validity of the fossil fuel adjustment clause will be upheld.On February 20, 1976 the NCUC approved the Company's application for a permanent increase in rates applicable to North Carolina retail operations, and also approved$14.412,000 of related interim-increase revenues billed in 1975.Operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 1975 include$53,793.000 (including

$30,754,000 under provisions of a fossil fuel adjustment clause'pplicable to wholesale customers) subject to possi-ble refund to the extent not finally allowed by pend-ing rate proceedings.

Included in the balance sheet is deferred fossil fuel inventory costs of$3,790,000 which is subject to FPC review and approval which may necessitate adjustments if such review so re-quires.The Attorney General of North Carolina has ap-pealed the NCUC order of August 27, 1975 which authorized the Company, effective September 1, 1975.to replace its automatic fossil fuel adjustment clause with a corresponding increase in basic rates, and to recover through revenues over approximately twelve months deferred fossil fuel costs totaling$12.367,000 at August 31, 1975.Accordingly, the Company.from September 1 through December 31, 1975, has recorded revenues of$30.135,000, includ-ing$4,425.000 applicable to recovery of the previ-ously unbilled deferred fossil fuel costs.Although, upon motion of the Attorney General, the NCUC has reconsidered its order and determined that thi;Attor-ney General's exceptions were without merit, the ul-timate outcome of this matter is uncertain pending final judicial determination.

included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

As discussed in the next to last paragraph of Note 5 to financial statements.

operating revenues for 1975 include$53,793.000 and the balance sheet includes deferred fossil fuel inventory costs of$3,790.000, which amounts are subject to possible refund or adjustment to the extent not finally allowed in pending rate proceedings.

26 As discussed in the last paragraph of Note 5 to financial statements.

the Attorney General of North Carolina has appealed the North Carolina Utilities Commission order of August 27.1975.under which the Company has recorded revenues of$30.135,000 from September 1 through December 31, 1975 and has unrecovered deferred fossil fuel inventory costs of$7,942,000 at December 31.1975.The ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain pending final judicial determination.

In our opinion.subject to the effect.if any.of the final determination of the uncertainties described in the preceding two paragraphs, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the financial position of the Company at December 31, 1975 and 1974.and the results of its operations and the source and use of its financial resources for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.Raleigh.North Carolina February 20.1976 Directors At fanuary 1.1976 Officers At January 1, 1976 Year shown in parenthesis indicates beginning I of period of service as a director Daniel D.Cameron.Sr., President.

f CAROLINA POWER 6r LIGHT COMPANY NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATBKNTS June 30, 1976 Page 6 of 12 1.SKQfARY OF S'IGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES S stem of Accounts.The accounting records of the Company are maintained in accordance with uniform systems of accounts prescribed by the Federal Power Commission (FPC)and the regulatory commissions of North Carolina and South Carolina.Electric Utili Plant.Electric utility plant is stated at original cost.The cost of additions, including replacements of units of property and betterments, is charged to utility plant.The Company includes in the cost of such additions an allowance for funds used during construction (8%).Maintenance and repairs of property and replacements and renewals of items determined to be less than units of property are charged to maintenance expense, The cost of units of property replaced or renewed plus removal costs, less salvage, is charged to accumulated depreciation.

Utility plant is subject to the lien of the Company's mortgage.Allowance for Funds Used Durin Construction.

In accordance with the uniform systems of accounts prescribed by regulatory authorities, an allowance for funds used during construction is included in con-struction work in progress and credited to income, recognizing that funds used for construction were provided by borrowings, preferred stock, and common equity.This accounting practice results in the inclusion in utility plant in service of amounts considered by regulatory authorities as an appropriate cost for the purpose of establishing rates for utility charges to customers over the service lives of the property.De reciation and Amortization.

Depreciation of utility plant, other than nuclear fuel, for financial reporting purposes is computed on the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives and charged principally to depreciation expense.Depreciation provisions as a percent of average depreciable property other than nuclear fuel approximated 3.3%.Effective as of October 1, 1975 the Company adopted revised depreciation rates generally reflecting shorter estimated useful lives for utility plant, which increased the provision for depreciation by$7,644,000 for the twelve months ended June 30, 1976.Amortization of nuclear fuel ($12,491,,000) is computed on the unit-of-production method and charged to fuel expense.Deferred Fuel Costs.In 1974, pursuant to state regulatory commission orders, and in January 1975, pursuant to FPC order, the Company put into effect automatic fossil fuel adjustment clauses to recover increased fuel costs.The provisions of the clauses result in a time lag between the date increased fuel cost is incurred and the date such cost is billed to customers.

To properly match increased i f Page 7 of 12 fuel costs with the related revenues, the Company defers, except for North Carolina retail operations, increased fuel cost when incurred and expenses it in the month the related revenue is billed.Beginning September 1, 1975 for North Carolina retail operations, the fossil fuel adjustment clause was replaced by an"approved fuel charge" adjustment to basic rates (which results in billing increased fuel costs on a current basis)and the Company was authorized to recover the defexred fossil fuel inventory costs accumulated at August 31, 1975 by a temporary rate surcharge over an approximate twelve-month period, with matching amortization of the deferred costs (see Note 6).In May 1976, the Company adopted new wholesale rates pursuant to FPC order which included higher'uel costs in basic rates and established the fuel adjustment clause base at the higher, and essentially current, fuel cost level.Income Taxes.Deferred income tax provisions are recorded only to the extent such amounts are currently allowed for rate-making purposes.In March 1976 (applicable to retail operations) and May 1976 (for wholesale operations), the Company began providing fully for deferred income taxes applicable to all significant timing differences, which resulted in increased income tax expense for the twelve months ended June 30, 1976.These provisions coincided with the recognition of revenues from the placing into effect of new customer billing rates which reflect such costs and, therefore, net income was not materially affected.In compliance with regulatory accounting, income taxes are allocated between Operating Income and Other Income, principally with respect to interest charges related to construction work in progress.See Note 5 with respect to certain other income tax information.

Necessity Certificates permitted amortization over 60-month periods, for Federal income tax purposes, the cost of certain plant facilities completed during the tax period 1952 through 1958.Amounts equivalent to the net reduction in federal taxes on income attributable to the excess of such amortization over depreciation ordinarily deducted were charged against income and the corresponding credit recorded in Account 216-Retained Earnings Restricted for Future Taxes on Income pursuant to orders of State Regulatory Authorities.

In the accompany-ing balance sheet, the accumulated credit of$6,429,924 attributable to such accumulated deferred taxes is included in Retained Earnings.In Financial Statements filed with'he Federal Power Commission and with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the accumulated credit for deferred Federal taxes on income is excluded from Retained Earnings and shown as"Accumulated Deferred Taxes on Income" consistent with the regulations of each of these commissions.

Investment Tax Credits.Investment tax credits generated and utilized after 1971 have been deferred and are being amortized over the, service lives of the property;substantially all credits prior to 1972 were deferred for amortization over five-year periods.At December 31, 1975, the Company had generated but not utilized investment tax credits totaling$14,600,000 (see Note 5 for prior years'ax credits eliminated in 1974 and included herein).

l j t$l 5 Page 8 of 12 1 Preferred and Preference Dividends.

Preferred and preference stock dividends declared and charged to retained earnings include amounts applicable

'to the first quarter of the following year, except for the Preferred Stock A,$7.45 Series, issued in 1973, which dividends are wholly applicable to the calendar quarter in which declared.Retirement Plan.The Company has a non-contributory retirement plan for all regular full-time employees and is funding the costs accrued under the plan.Retirement plan costs for twelve months ended June 30, 1976 were approximately

$3,504,000.

Xn 1975, the Company amended the plan by changing, among other things, vesting provisions to conform with the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the interest assumption from 4>%to 5%, and the amortization of the unfunded prior service cost over a period of twenty years from January 1, 1975 instead of from January 1, 1974.The effect of these changes on periodic net income is not material.At January 1, 1976, the date of the latest actuarial valuation, the unfunded prior service cost was approximately

$21 million and the actuarially computed value of vested benefits exceeded assets of the plan by an estimated$11 million.Other Policies.Other property and investments are stated principally at cost, less accumulated depreciation where applicable, except for the investment in its coal mining subsidiary which is accounted for on the equity basis.Temporary cash investments are stated at cost, approximating market value.Materials and supplies inventories are stated at average cost.The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable

($915,554).Bond premium, discount and expenses are amortized over the life of the related debt.2.CAPITAL STOCK Preferred Stock, without par value, cumulative:

$11,000,000 in 1976 and 1977 and declining each year thereafter through 1980, Under the terms of the leases for the internal combustion turbine (ICT)generators and the nuclear fuel, the Company, under certain circumstances, is contingently liable to purchase the properties from the lessors.The Company is responsible for expenses in connection with most of the leased properties, including insurance, taxes and maintenance.

Electric utility plant at June 30, 1976 includes approximately

$15 million representing cost less accumulated depreciation of four hydroelectric projects licensed by the FPC, which licenses expire in 1976, 1993 and 2008.Upon or after expiration of each license, the United States may take over the project, or the FPC may issue a new license either to the Company or a new licensee.In the event of a takeover ox'icensing to another licensee, the Company would be paid its"net investment" in the project, not to exceed fair value, plus, sevexance damages, if any.No provision for amortization reserves as required for the determination of"net investment" has been 1

Page 12 of 12 recorded as such amounts, if any, are considered immaterial.

In 1973, the Company applied for a new 50-year license for the Walters Hydroelectric Project which original license expires in 1976.A competing application has been filed by a group of rural electric cooperatives.

The Company expects that its license application will be granted.The Company is a member of Nuclear Mutual Limited, established to provide insurance coverage against property damage to members'uclear generating facilities.

The Company would be subject to a maximum assessment of about$19 million in the event of losses.In 1972, the Company committed a total of$3,450,000 for research concerning development of the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor payable in ten equal annual installments through 1981.Federal income tax returns after 1973 have not been examined.The Attorney General of North Carolina has appealed to the North Carolina Supreme Court the North Carolina Court of Appeals'ffirmance in May 1976 of an order of the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC)dated December 1974 approving the Company's automatic fossil fuel adjustment clause applicable to North Carolina retail operations.

The Company recorded revenues of$71,101,000 in 1975 and$60,811,000 in 1974 pursuant to such automatic fossil fuel adjustment clause.The resolution of the matter is pending.In the opinion of the Company the validity of the fossil fuel adjustment clause will be upheld.Operating revenues for the twelve months ended June 30, 1976 include$63,867,000 subject to possible refund with interest to the extent not finally allowed by pending rate proceedings.

Total recorded revenues subject to refund with interest at June 30, 1976 pending final regulatory determinations aggregated

$89,541,000 and were billed from January 1, 1975 through June 30, 1976.Included in the balance sheet at June 30, 1976 is deferred fuel costs of$3,050,000 which is subject to FPC review and approva1 which may necessitate adjustments, if such review so requires.The Attorney General of North Carolina appealed to the North Carolina Court of Appeals that portion of the NCUC order of August 27, 1976 which authorized the Company, effective September 1, 1975, to recover through revenues over approximately twelve months deferred fossil fuel costs totaling$12,367,000 at August 31, 1975.On August 18, 1976, the Court of Appeals affirmed the NCUC order, but the Attorney General has announced that he will appeal this decision to the North Carolina Supreme Court.From September 1 through June 30, 1976, the Company recorded revenues of$11,094,000 applicable to recovery of the previously unbilled deferred fossil fuel costs.The ultimate outcome of this matter is uncertain pending the filing of an appeal by the Attorney General which is expected and final judicial determination.

Substantial environmental matters are presently pending before various governmental agencies and courts.The Company may, as a result-, incur increased construction or operating expenditures.
