Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General In December 1985, the Financial Accounting Total revenue increased in 1986 over 1985 as a result of Standards Board issued Statement No. 87, Employer's electric rate increases and higher electric sales. See Accounting For Pensions. This statement becomes "Electric Operating Revenue" below. *effective in 1987. Statement No. 87 prescribes a method Operation and maintenance expenses decreased in for determining periodic pension cost which differs 1986 compared with 1985 as a result of lower fuel significantly from the method utilized by the Company in expense. The lower fuel expense was primarily due to the 1986 and prior years. Historically the Company has used excellent performance of the Company's nuclear units. the same method for determining periodic pension cost In accordance with the Declaratory Order issued as used for funding the pension plan. Beginning in 1987, by th,e Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) on the method prescribed by Statement No. 87 for measuring September 28, 1984, the Company deferred all operating periodic pension cost will differ from the method utilized costs, carrying charges on investment, fuel savings and for funding purposes.

The Company has determined that plant was included in rates. The combination of this pension cost for 1987, determined in accordance with Declaratory Order and theJune 27, 1986 rate order, Statement No. 87, will be approximately $10 million less which permits continued accrual of an amount equivalent than 1986 pension cost.
