Hull Governor of Arizona State Capitol Ninth Floor, West Wing Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Dear Governor: This 44th Annual Report of the Arizona Power Authority details the Authority’s operational and financial activities for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002. This Annual Report also features the steps the Authority has taken to become a forward-looking power participant in the Southwest, as the industry shifts to an open, competitive marketplace. Through its active role in Hoover Dam’s engineering and operating functions, the Authority provides reliable energy to its customers at one of the lowest rates in the nation. In addition, the Authority is helping to define the role of public power within Arizona’s new deregulated electric utility environment. As the Authority assesses the future of open competition in power generation and distribution, it remains focused on its original mandate—to provide “the greatest public service and to encourage the widest practical use of electrical energy.” Sincerely, Jewell M.

Becoming a major planning entity and participant in power development in the Southwest will help ensure The Authority is also well positioned to influence future energy policy. For the first time, the Authority has a seat on the board of directors of the Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC), which defines policy for the western United States. One of only three directors’ seats to the entire state of Arizona, this places the Authority at the forefront of new planning, trends and technologies. the Authority fulfills its mandate into the future. ANNUAL REPORT 2002 4 REPORT OF THE COMMISSION The Arizona Power Authority is advancing the role of public power in Arizona in the new era of deregulation. The Authority is also moving forward to assure an adequate supply of electric transmission capability for its customers and the state. To this end, the Authority is an active participant in the Western Electric Coordinating Council and the Central Arizona Transmission Study Group. The Authority has also retained three new staff members with over 90 years of combined experience in the power industry in the western United States. Through the concerted effort of the JEWELL M.

MODELING IMPROVED PERFORMANCE Technology plays a central role in enabling the Arizona Power Authority to plan for the future. This year the Authority staff received extensive training in electric power software that enables them to model power transmission throughout the entire western U.S., as well as focusing on local areas such as particular regions of Arizona. The Authority uses its modeling software to study anticipated conditions on the power system and determine how specific changes impact the overall system. By more clearly understanding the power we’re purchasing, we can provide better service to our customers. In addition, as customer contracts come up for renewal, the Authority can model planned distribution to choose the most appropriate and efficient path. In addition, this software also makes it easier to illustrate the power system to our customers. Simple to understand graphics provide a clear representation of the power system. As a result, our customers can better understand the power they receive and the factors that influence it. 7 8 WATER YEAR 2002 OPERATIONS SUMMARY AND RESERVOIR STATUS Drier than average conditions have prevailed for the past three years in the Colorado River basin. As a result precipitation has decreased from 87% of normal in September 2001 to 58% in September 2002. The Colorado Basin snowpack measured 74% of normal in January 2002. Total unregulated inflow into Lake Powell dropped from an already low 59% in 2001 to 25% in 2002, making it the driest year on record. In September 2002, the elevation of Lake Powell was 3,627 feet, a decrease of 38 feet for the year and 73 feet below full pool elevation. The National Weather Service continues to forecast drier than normal conditions. The 25% inflow level in 2002 resulted in only 3.66 million acre-feet, the lowest unregulated inflow recorded since Glen Canyon Dam was completed in 1963. Subsequently, 2002 water storage for Lake Powell dropped to 14.5 million acre-feet, or 59% of capacity. By September 2002, the elevation of Lake Mead dropped to 1,156 feet, which is 73 feet below full pool elevation. Storage in Lake Mead dropped to 17.1 million acre-feet, or 66% of capacity. Because of the drawn down condition of Lake Powell, releases from that lake in water year 2003 are scheduled to meet the minimum objective release of 8.23 million acre-feet. This is consistent with requirements of the 1970 Criteria for Coordinated Long-Range Operation of Colorado River Reservoirs. Hydrologic conditions often change and the actual operation and condition of the Colorado River Storage System will depend on downstream requirements and the weather conditions in the Colorado River basins during the 2002-2003 water year. Lake Powell 3,700 Feet At Full Capacity RESERVOIR STATUS SEPTEMBER 2002 Lake Mead 1,229 Feet At Full Capacity 3,627 Feet 1,156 Feet ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES The Bureau of Reclamation has issued its 2003 Water A lawsuit brought by Defenders of Wildlife against Year Annual Operating Plan for the Colorado River. Reclamation remains in litigation. The suit alleges The Plan reflects the assumed effects of the California violation of the Endangered Species Act in failing water right holders executing a settlement agreement to evaluate and compensate for the impacts of that would allow Reclamation to continue to declare Colorado River operations on listed species in the a quantified surplus of water under its Interim Mexican delta.

River Basin. Activities such as water diversions and power production on the Lower Colorado River continue to be monitored for their impact on endangered and threatened species under the Multi-Species Conservation Program (MSCP). The MSCP will be implemented over a 50-year period, and will address future federal agency consultation needs under Section 7 and the incidental take authorizations under Section 10 of the Endangered Species Act. In lieu of funds from the Arizona Legislature, Arizona’s share of costs for the MSCP process was covered by contributions from Arizona water and power interests. 9 SCHEDULE OF CAPACITY AND ENERGY SALES 10 FOR PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2001 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2002 SALE OF HYDRO POWER Customers Aguila Irrigation District Avra Valley Irrigation & Drainage District Buckeye Water Conservation District Central Arizona Water Conservation District Chandler Heights Citrus Irrigation District Cortaro-Marana Irrigation District Electrical District No. 1, Pinal Electrical District No. 2, Pinal Electrical District No. 3, Pinal Electrical District No. 4, Pinal Electrical District No. 5, Pinal Electrical District No. 5, Maricopa Electrical District No. 6, Pinal Electrical District No. 7, Maricopa Electrical District No. 8, Maricopa Harquahala Valley Power District Maricopa County Municipal Water District #1 McMullen Valley Water Conservation & Drainage District Ocotillo Water Conservation District Queen Creek Irrigation District Roosevelt Irrigation District Roosevelt Water Conservation District Salt River Project San Tan Irrigation District Silverbell Irrigation & Drainage District Tonopah Irrigation District Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation & Drainage District City of Page City of Safford Town of Thatcher Town of Wickenburg Ak-Chin Indian Community Arizona Electric Power Cooperative Arizona Public Service Co.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. As described in Note 1, the Authority adopted the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as amended by GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus - an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 21 and No. 34 and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures, as of July 1, 2001. The management’s discussion and analysis is not a required part of the financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. We have applied certain limited procedures, which consisted principally of inquiries of management regarding the methods of measurement and presentation of the supplementary information. However, we did not audit the information and express no opinion on it. The supplemental schedules on pages 34 through 37 are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole. Pricewaterhouse Cooper L.L.P. August 2, 2002 Phoenix, Arizona 13 14 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following is a discussion and analysis of the Arizona Power Authority’s (the “Authority”) financial performance for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 and is designed to (a) assist the reader in focusing on significant financial issues, (b) provide an overview of the Authority’s financial activity, (c) identify changes in the Authority’s financial position. Since the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is designed to focus on the current year’s activities, resulting changes and currently known facts, please read it in conjunction with the Authority’s financial statements beginning on page 22. HIGHLIGHTS FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS • The Authority’s net assets decreased by $400,516 or 11%. • The Authority’s revenue increased by $2,284,061 or 11% and the net results from operations reduced the operating loss by $343,685 or 46% producing a decrease in net assets of $400,516. AUTHORITY HIGHLIGHTS Revised Scheduling Entity Agreement - On June 1, 1987, the Authority and the Salt River Project entered into a Scheduling Entity Agreement that provided for the Salt River Project to be the entity that dynamically schedules the Hoover generation allocated to the Authority by the Western Area Power Administration. The Agreement had been amended twice through September 30, 2001. The Authority and the Salt River Project executed a third Amendment to the Scheduling Entity Agreement effective October 1, 2001. This Amendment provides for the Salt River Project to pay the Authority $8.4 million each year in return for allowing the Salt River Project to continue to be the Scheduling Entity of the Hoover generation in Arizona through September 30, 2004. The amount of revenue paid by the Salt River Project for the year ending June 30, 2002 covered only nine months; consequently, the contribution to revenue pursuant to the Scheduling Entity Agreement was $6.3 million, not $8.4 million. Negotiations are currently under way to extend the Scheduling Entity Agreement and the $8.4 million annual payment by the Salt River Project for at least an additional two years. Other Changes That Will Improve or Provide Future Benefit to the Arizona Power Authority No new agreements or new customers were added during the current period. However, the Authority added three new staff members in recent months that bring substantial experience and knowledge regarding the operations of power systems in the southwest. 15 USING THIS ANNUAL REPORT This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. The Statement of Net Assets, the Statement of Net Assets, Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets and the Statement of Cash Flows (on pages 20-23) provide information about the activities of the Authority as a whole and present a longer-term view of the Authority’s finances. The Authority is a body corporate and politic of the State of Arizona and is a special-purpose government engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, the financial statements presented in this Annual Report are the required basic financial statements in accordance with the provisions of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements – and Management’s Discussion and Analysis – for State and Local Governments. There are six basic or normal transactions that will affect the comparability of the Statement of Net Assets summary presentation: Net Results of Activities – which will impact (increase/decrease) current assets and undesignated net assets. Borrowing for Capital – which will increase assets and long-term debt. Spending Borrowed Proceeds on New Capital – which will reduce current assets and increase capital assets. There is a second impact, an increase in invested capital assets and an increase in related net debt which will not change the investment in capital assets, net of debt. Spending of Non-borrowed Current Assets on New Capital – which will (a) reduce current assets and increase capital assets and (b) will reduce undesignated net assets and increase investment in capital assets, net of debt. Principal Payment on Debt – which will reduce current assets and reduce long-term debt. Reduction of Capital Assets through Depreciation – which will reduce capital assets and investment capital assets, net of debt. OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS This Discussion and Analysis is an introduction to the Authority’s basic financial statements, which are comprised of two components: (1) Fund Financial Statements. (2) Notes to the Financial Statements. Fund Financial Statements (Reporting on all of the Authority’s Funds.) The Fund Financial Statements begin on page 20 and provide detailed information about the individual funds. A fund is a fiscal and accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts that the Authority uses to keep track of specific sources of revenues and disbursements for specific purposes. The Authority’s funds are treated as proprietary and are enterprise in nature. Most of the Authority’s financial dealings are with contracts outside of state government. A separate fund is not maintained for government activities. The Authority does not act as a fiduciary. 16 CONDENSED STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS BUSINESS TYPE ACTIVITIES (THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) JUNE 30, 2002 JUNE 30, 2001 DIFF $ DIFF % Current assets 13,102,938 14,673,921 -1,570,983 -11% Long-term assets 51,832,754 52,948,182 -1,115,428 -2% 181,499 190,987 -9,488 -5% 65,117,191 67,813,090 -2,695,899 -4% 5,476,945 4,622,973 853,972 18% 56,516,086 59,665,441 -3,149,355 -5% 61,993,031 64,288,414 -2,295,383 -4% 181,499 190,987 -9,488 -5% Unrestricted 2,942,661 3,333,689 -391,028 -12% Net Assets, End of Year 3,124,160 3,524,676 -400,516 -11% Capital assets Current liabilities Long-term (Bonds pay, net) Net Assets: Capital Assets The largest component of the Authority’s net assets is unrestricted reserves (property replacement, designated and undesignated). CONDENSED STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS DISCUSSION Current Assets changed because the Authority’s customers accounts receivable decreased due to having less power available for sale, interest receivable on investments decreased due to much lower interest rates and prepaid purchased power (banked power) decreased due to having less power available for banking. Long Term Assets (Advances for the Hoover Uprating Program) changed because of the reduction in the cost of the current year Uprating Program and more of the prior year charges being amortized. Current Liabilities changed primarily due to the establishment of a bonds payable accrual, a decreased power contracts payable and the elimination of the Authority’s customer credits accrual. Long Term Liabilities changed because of a decrease in bonds payable due to reclassification to a current liability, a decrease in the discount on bonds payable due to amortization and an increase in the investments held by Trustee due to an accrual for the payment of bond principal. Net Assets changed because of decreases in capital assets, property replacement and undesignated assets. 17 There are six basic or normal transactions that will affect the comparability of the Statement of Changes in Net Assets summary presentation. REVENUES: Economic Condition – which can reflect a declining, stable or growing economic environment and has a substantial impact on rates and volumes of consumption. Increase/Decrease in Commission Approved Rates – while certain aspects of rates are set by statute, the Authority has the ability to impose and periodically increase/decrease rates. Market Impacts on Investment Income – market conditions may cause investment income to fluctuate more in the long-term than alternative shorter-term options. EXPENSES: Introduction of New Programs – individual programs may be added or deleted to meet changing Authority needs. Increase/Decrease in Authorized Personnel – changes in service demand may cause the Authority to increase/decrease authorized staffing. Staffing costs (salary and related benefits) represent 2.5% of the Authority’s operating costs. Salary Increases (cost of living, merit and market adjustment) – the ability to attract and retain human and intellectual resources requires the Authority to strive to approach a competitive salary range position in the marketplace. 18 CHANGES IN NET ASSETS BUSINESS TYPE ACTIVITIES (THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS) JUNE 30, 2002 JUNE 30, 2001 DIFF $ DIFF % $ 23,018,463 $ 20,734,402 $ 2,284,061 11% Purchase Power 16,075,797 15,077,567 998,230 7% Western Credits -4,623,123 -2,955,153 -1,667,970 56% Amortization of Hoover Uprating Program Costs 4,623,123 2,955,153 1,667,970 56% Trans & Dist 5,205,863 5,215,104 -9,241 0% Administrative and general 1,215,200 1,028,848 186,352 18% 28,855 37,473 -8,618 -23% 889,985 116,332 773,653 665% 23,415,700 21,475,324 1,940,376 9% -397,237 -740,922 343,685 -46% -3,729,166 -3,729,166 0 0% 2,977,031 2,727,681 249,350 9% 746,533 1,207,760 -461,227 -38% 2,323 18,030 -15,707 -87% -3,279 224,305 -227,584 -101% -400,516 -516,617 116,101 -22% 3,524,676 4,041,293 -516,617 -13% $ 3,124,160 $ 3,524,676 $ -400,516 -11% Revenues: Operating Revenues Expenses: Operating Expenses Depreciation Other Total Operating Expenses Operating Income (loss) Other (deductions) income: Interest Expense Deferred Interest Expense Interest Income Other Net Total Other Income (loss) Change in Net Assets Net Assets, Beginning of Year Net Assets, End of Year CHANGES IN NET ASSETS DISCUSSION Operating revenues changed because of increased power sales. Operating expenses changed because of increased purchased power costs; Western credits were increased because of the accrual of bonds payable principal and other costs related to the Uprating Program; amortization of Uprating Program costs increased because of the additional credits received; Administrative and general increased because of the hiring of additional employees and increased legal costs; depreciation decreased because less existing capital assets were available to depreciate and few new capital assets were purchased; and other costs increased because of the expensing of certain deferred assets. Operating loss changed due to a decrease in the loss compared to the prior year. Other items effecting a change in “Net Assets” were an increase in deferred interest expense because of less interest income and decreased late charges received from customers. 19 CAPITAL ASSETS As of fiscal year end, the Authority had $181,499 invested in a variety of capital assets, as reflected in the following schedule, which represents a net decrease (additions less retirements and depreciation) of $9,488 or 5% from the end of last year.

Also see page 28 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for a detailed summary of debt activity during the year. BUSINESS TYPE ACTIVITIES The following chart depicts the sources of revenues for the fiscal year: The Authority’s revenues may decrease in the coming year(s) due to drought conditions. Insufficient rain and snow pack results in less water to be processed through the turbines at Hoover Dam thereby producing less hydroelectric power available for sale. Additional wet years, and other factors, Hoover Power Sales $22,256,521 (93.64%) Other Income $2,323 (0.01%) Interest Income $746,533 (3.14%) could help stabilize revenues.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business The Arizona Power Authority (the “Authority”) is a body, corporate and politic, without taxing power, established by the Arizona Legislature on May 27, 1944 by the Power Authority Act. Under the Power Authority Act, the Authority is directed to obtain electric power developed from the mainstream of the Colorado River and sell such power to certain qualified purchasers. The Power Authority Act provides that the Authority must be a self-supporting agency and prohibits the Authority from incurring any obligation, which would be binding upon the State of Arizona. The Authority supplies capacity and energy on a wholesale basis to certain power purchasers in the State of Arizona. The Authority’s primary source of power and energy is the Hoover Power plant at Hoover Dam, located approximately 25 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada. Hoover power is produced by the Boulder Canyon Project hydropower plant owned by the Bureau of Reclamation. Hoover Dam is the highest and third largest concrete dam in the United States of America. Hoover Dam was dedicated in 1935 and the first generator of the Hoover Power plant was in full operation in October 1936 and has been in continuous operation since. Power and energy from the Hoover Power plant is transmitted to load centers in Arizona, California and Nevada. The Authority first contracted for Arizona’s share of Hoover power in 1952 and has continuously provided power and energy to its customers since that time. The Authority is governed by a commission of five members appointed by the Governor and approved by the Senate. The term of office for each member is six years and the members select a chairman and vice-chairman from among its membership for two-year terms. Pursuant to Arizona law, the (“Commission”) serves as the Authority’s regulatory body with the exclusive authority to establish electric prices. The Authority is required to follow certain procedures, pertaining to public notice requirements and special meetings, before implementing changes in electric price schedules. Change in Accounting Policy Effective July 1, 2001, the Authority adopted Governmental Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements - and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments, as amended by GASB Statement No. 37, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Governments: Omnibus - an Amendment of GASB Statements No. 21 and No. 34 and GASB Statement No. 38, Certain Financial Statement Note Disclosures. These statements established a new financial reporting model for state and local governments consisting of both the government-wide and fund financial statements (within the basic financial statements) and primary activities are categorized as either governmental or business type. The Authority is only engaged in business activities. In accordance with the provisions of paragraph 138 of GASB No. 34, this audit report presents the required basic financial statements for special-purpose governments engaged only in business-type activities. Accordingly, no significant change or impact resulted from the adoption of GASB No. 34, as amended by GASB No. 37 and No. 38. 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Measurement Focus The Authority’s Funds are accounted for on a flow of economic resources measurement focus. All assets and liabilities (whether current or non-current) associated with their activity are included in the Statement of Net Assets. The Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets present increases (revenues) and decreases (expenses) in total net assets. The Authority’s reported total net assets are segregated into invested capital assets and unrestricted components. Basis of Accounting Basis of Accounting refers to the time at which revenues and expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accrual basis of accounting is used by the Authority whereby revenues are recognized in the accounting period in which they are earned and become measurable, and expenses are recognized when incurred. Basis of Presentation GASB No. 20, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Proprietary Funds and Other Governmental Entities That Use Proprietary Fund Accounting, requires that governments’ proprietary activities apply all GASB pronouncements as well as the following pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statements and Interpretations, Accounting Principles Board Opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins. Governments are given the option whether or not to apply all FASB Statements and Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989, except for those that conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. The Authority has elected not to implement FASB Statements and Interpretations issued after November 30, 1989. Revenue Recognition The Authority recognizes revenue when power is delivered and billed to the customers. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Authority treats short-term temporary cash investments with original maturities when purchased, of three months or less as cash equivalents. Property, Plant, Equipment and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at original cost. The costs of additions and replacements are capitalized. Replacements of minor items of property are charged to expense as incurred. Costs of property retired are eliminated from accounts, likewise such costs plus removal expense less salvage are charged to accumulated depreciation. Advances for Hoover Uprating Program Proceeds from bonds payable were advanced by the Authority for uprating the Hoover Power Plant and are recorded as advances. Such advances, including debt issue costs, plus net interest expense incurred by the Authority are reimbursed in the form of credits on the monthly power bills rendered by the Western Area Power Administration of the Department of Energy (“Western”). These credits are issued over the 30-year life of the bonds. Substantially all advances, net interest expense and other related costs on the bonds are charged to the Uprating Program as amounts to be recovered from future credits. 25 26 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Investments The Authority has classified its marketable securities as held-to-maturity. Held-to-maturity securities represent those securities that the Authority has both the intent and ability to hold to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Schedule C Energy Under its Electric Service Contract with Western, the Authority has preferential rights to excess energy (“Schedule C energy”) generated at the Hoover Power Plant. The Authority buys Schedule C energy when available from Western during an operating year (October 1 to September 30). The Authority’s financial statements are prepared on a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) basis. When excess energy is available, the Authority bills its customers as Schedule C energy is delivered and receives payment during a given operating year, but Western does not bill for the cost of such Schedule C energy until the following operating year. An estimate of such amounts is accrued for at the end of the fiscal year. Operating and Non-Operating Revenues Operating revenues are revenues derived from the sale of power to customers or from other contractual agreements. Operating revenues include $6,300,000 received from Salt River Project for scheduling entity services. The revenue is the result of a recent agreement between the Authority and the Salt River Project which will yield $8,400,000 annual revenues to the Authority thereby reducing the overall revenue requirements to be paid by the Authority’s customers through power rates. The agreement expires September 30, 2004 unless renewed. Non-operating revenues are from sources other than the sale of power to customers and primarily consist of income earned on investments. Application of Net Assets to Expenses Incurred The Authority applies unrestricted, undesignated net assets to expenses incurred. To the extent undesignated net assets are unavailable, unrestricted, designated net assets will be applied to expenses incurred. Customer Credits The Authority operates on a non-profit basis and reduces charges to its customers, through credits on power bills, for any revenues in excess of expenses after the close of the operating year. Likewise, the Authority bills it’s customers for any deficit in revenues versus expenses incurred during the operating year. As of June 30, 2002, there were no accrued credits to be applied to customers’ power bills based upon rates from Western’s operating year ending September 30, 2002. Income Taxes The Authority is exempt from federal and Arizona state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded for the Authority in the accompanying financial statements. 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Geographic and Product Concentration The Authority’s revenues are derived from the sale of electrical power and services to contracted customers in the state of Arizona. The Hoover Uprating Fund is used to purchase electric power solely from Western. The Authority’s General Fund is used to purchase electric power from various providers. 2. FUND ACCOUNTING Hoover Uprating Fund The Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984 (“Hoover Act”) authorized the U.S. government to increase the capacity i.e., “uprate,” of existing generating equipment at the Hoover Dam Power Plant (“Uprating Program”). Instead of appropriating further federal funds for the Uprating Program, Congress implemented an advancement of funds procedure whereby prospective non-federal purchasers of the uprated Hoover capacity and associated energy contribute to the financing of the Uprating Program. The Uprating Program was determined to be complete in September 1995. The Authority financed a portion of the total Uprating Program by issuing bonds. The Hoover Uprating Fund accounts for advances by the Authority in connectio n with the Uprating Program. Effective June 1, 1987, the Authority executed new power contracts with Western and its customers which expire in 2017. The revenues and expenditures applicable to the sale and transmission of power and energy received by the Authority from Western under these contracts are accounted for in the Hoover Uprating Fund. APA General Fund The Authority’s operations other than those applicable to the Hoover Uprating Fund are accounted for in the APA General Fund. The purchase of supplemental power and the sale and transmission of such power to the Authority’s customers comprise the majority of this fund’s activity. 3. CASH All cash balances maintained by the State of Arizona Treasurer are for pooled investment purposes. Statutes require the State Treasurer to invest these pooled funds in obligations of the U.S. government. All investments are carried at cost. 27 28 4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment of the APA General Fund at June 30, 2002 were as follows: 2002 $ Transmission and distribution plant General plant 508,683 702,966 1,211,649 (1,030,150) Total Less accumulated depreciation $ Property, plant and equipment, net JUNE 30, 2001 Property, plant and equipment: Transmission plant $ 289,049 ADDITIONS $ - JUNE 30, 2002 DISPOSALS $ 181,499 - $ 289,049 Distribution plant 219,634 - - 219,634 General plant - office 683,599 19,367 - 702,966 1,192,282 19,367 - 1,211,649 - - (289,049) Total property, plant and equipment Accumulated depreciation: Transmission plant (289,049) Distribution plant (170,596) (8,697) - (179,293) General plant - office (541,650) (20,158) - (561,808) Total accumulated depreciation (1,001,295) (28,855) - (1,030,150) Property, plant and equipment, net $ 190,987 $ (9,488) $ - $ 181,499 The transmission and distribution plant is comprised of a substation and related equipment. Purchased power is delivered over transmission facilities owned by Western. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line composite method based on the estimated useful lives of the property items, which range from 5 to 44 years. 5. ADVANCES FOR HOOVER UPRATING PROGRAM Advances for the Hoover Uprating Program were reimbursed by Western through credits on the Authority’s power bills in the amount of $4,623,123 for the year ended June 30, 2002. Credits were received for the upraters portion of principal and interest expense on the bonds and other costs associated with the Hoover Uprating Program. During the year ended June 30, 2002, principal amortization, interest expense and other related costs on the bonds issued to finance the Uprating Program exceeded interest income by $4,559,365. Any variation between credits received and costs incurred are reconciled the following year. 6. BONDS PAYABLE Bonds payable consists of the following: JUNE 30, 2001 INCREASES REDUCTIONS TRANSFERS Bond payable current $ Bond payable long-term 68,945,000 $ - $ - $ Total bonds payable $ - $ - $ $ 68,945,000 JUNE 30, 2002 1,450,000 $ 1,450,000 (1,450,000) 67,495,000 - $ 68,945,000 6. BONDS PAYABLE (CONTINUED) In prior years, the Authority defeased various issues of bonds by purchasing U.S. government securities which were deposited in an irrevocable trust with an escrow agent to provide for future debt service until the call dates. As a result, those bonds are considered to be defeased and the liability for these bonds has been removed from the Hoover Uprating Fund. Accordingly, these trust account asset and related liabilities are not included in the Authority’s financial statements. The remaining bonds, totaling $68,945,000, bear interest ranging from 4.9 percent to 5.4 percent, are due from 2003 through 2017, and are secured by the pledged property, as defined by the resolution, which includes the proceeds from the sale of the bonds, rights and interest in various contracts and revenues. The Authority amortizes the bond discount using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Principal amounts due over the next five years ended June 30 and thereafter are as follow: $1,450,000 in 2003, $2,320,000 in 2004, $2,545,000 in 2005, $2,790,000 in 2006, $3,070,000 in 2007, $20,820,000 in 2008 through 2012, $29,160,000 in 2013 through 2017, and $6,790,000 in 2018. Crossover Refunding On September 12, 2001 the Authority issued $57,520,000 of Special Obligation Crossover Refunding Bonds. Proceeds from the sale of the bonds along with a fund’s contribution by the Authority will be held in an escrow trust account invested in government securities until October 1, 2003 (the “Crossover Date”) when, if certain conditions are met, the crossover refunding is scheduled to take place and $62,630,000 of the 1993 Series Power Resource Revenue Refunding Bonds maturing on and after October 1, 2005 will be defeased. If these conditions are not met, the assets in the escrow trust account will be used to retire the Special Obligation Crossover Bonds on the Crossover Date. The crossover is subject to the condition that on the Crossover Date balances held in the Debt Service Reserve Account at least equal the Debt Service Reserve Requirement and an appropriate legal opinion regarding the validity of the Authority’s 2001 Series Power Resource Revenue Refunding Bonds has been received. The proceeds in the government securities escrow trust account, together with the income realized from investment of trust assets, serve as collateral for the Special Obligation Crossover Bonds and are paying the debt service on those bonds until the Crossover Date. The Special Obligation Crossover Bonds are payable solely from the amounts in the escrow trust account and are not payable from any other source. Because they are not payable from revenues derived by the Authority or secured by any assets held by the Authority, neither the Special Obligation Crossover Bonds nor the assets held in the escrow trust account are reflected on the Authority’s statement of net assets at June 30, 2002. However, in conjunction with the issuance of the Crossover Bonds, the Authority deposited $2,694,576 with the crossover bond trustee; this amount is reflected as “Cash with fiscal agent” in the Authority’s Statement of Net Assets at June 30, 2002. If the crossover occurs on the Crossover Date, the outstanding Special Obligation Crossover Bonds will be exchanged for 2001 Series Power Resource Revenue Refunding Bonds of the same principal amount, maturity date, and interest rate as the crossover bonds. The proceeds in the escrow trust account will be used to refund that portion of the 1993 Series Bonds maturing on and after October 1, 2005. The 2001 Series Bonds will be reflected as obligations on the Authority’s books, and any gain or loss on extinguishment will be reflected in the Authority’s records as of the Crossover Date. On and after the Crossover Date, the refunded portion of the 1993 Series Bonds will no longer be outstanding and will cease to be entitled to any lien on the revenues pledged to payment of those bonds. Instead, the revenue stream originally pledged to secure the refunded portion of the 1993 Series Bonds will “cross over” to pay debt service on the 2001 Series Bonds. The Crossover Bonds and 2001 Series Bonds bear interest at a rate of 5% and 5.25%, payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2004 and maturing in 2017. 29 30 7. INVESTMENTS HELD BY TRUSTEE As of June 30, 2002, investments are collateralized with securities held by the Authority’s trustee. The amortized cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the held-to-maturity investments, of the investment securities at June 30 is as follows: 2002 Repurchase agreement U.S. government securities $ 7,146,663 2,568,910 Total held-to-maturity investments $ 9,715,573 On September 19, 1996, the Authority entered into a repurchase and custody agreement with MBIA Investment Management Corporation (“IMC”) wherein the Authority agreed to effect a series of repurchase transactions with IMC, in investments allowable under the bond resolution agreements and state law, with a fixed earnings rate of 6.95 percent. The securities are held in trust by Bank One of Arizona, N.A. If at any time the aggregate market value of all purchased securities is less than the amount required under the repurchase and custody agreement (calculated using a percentage of 104%), the Authority may require IMC to transfer additional securities so the aggregate market value of all securities will equal or exceed such requirement. 8. NET ASSETS Allocations of net assets for specified purposes are authorized and designated by the Commission, under provision of the Arizona Power Authority Act of 1944, as amended. The designated reserves shown on the accompanying statement of net assets are comprised of the following at June 30, 2002: 2002 Resource development Operations fund Power contracts System improvement and repairs $ 3,500,000 200,000 100,000 200,000 Total $ 4,000,000 9. RETIREMENT PLAN The Authority contributes to the retirement plan described below. Benefits are established by state statute and generally provide retirement, death, long-term disability, survivor, and health insurance premium benefits. The Arizona State Retirement System (the “Plan” or “ASRS”) administers a cost-sharing multiple-employer defined benefit pension plan that covers permanent, full-time employees of the Authority. The ASRS is governed by the Arizona State Retirement System Board according to the provisions of ARS Title 38, Chapter 5, Article 2. The ASRS issues a publicly available financial report that includes its financial statements and required supplementary information. A report may be obtained by writing or calling the plan at 1020 East Missouri Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85014, (602) 255-5575. The Plan was established by the State of Arizona to provide benefits for employees of the state and employees of participating political subdivisions and school districts. The Plan became effective on July 1, 1971. By actuarial computation, employee member and Authority contributions to the Plan were fixed at 2.49 percent (2.00 percent retirement and .49 percent long-term disability) of their compensation for the year ended June 30, 2002, with the contributions made through payroll deductions. Employee contributions vest immediately. Total contributions to the Plan for the year ended June 30, 2002 by the Authority’s covered employees were $12,728. 9. RETIREMENT PLAN (CONTINUED) 31 Matching employer member contributions were actuarially determined and fixed at the same rate as employee member contributions for the year ended June 30, 2002. In the event the Plan’s actuary determines that additional contributions are needed in order to amortize an unfunded accrued liability, every employer member will be required to contribute the revised contribution percentage which is established by the Arizona State Legislature. All full-time employees of the Authority are required to become members of the Plan. The Authority’s total payroll for employees covered by this Plan for the years ended June 30, 2002 was $521,521. Contributions to the Plan by the Authority for its covered employees vest over five years. All required employer contributions are made to the Plan by the end of each month. 10. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS In addition to the pension benefits described above, ASRS offers health care benefits to retired and disabled members that are no longer eligible for health care benefits through their former member employer’s group health plan. Retired is defined as actively receiving an annuity benefit and disabled is defined as receiving a long-term disability (“LTD”) benefit through the LTD program administered by ASRS. The following chart illustrates the maximum amount of the monthly available benefit for eligible members and their dependents: MEMBER Years of Credited Service Percent of Premium Benefit 5.0 - 5.9 6.0 - 6.9 7.0 - 7.9 8.0 - 8.9 9.0 - 9.9 10.0+ 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Not Medicare Eligible $ 75.00 90.00 105.00 120.00 135.00 150.00 DEPENDENT(S) Medicare Eligible $ 50.00 60.00 70.00 80.00 90.00 100.00 Not Medicare Eligible $ 130.00 156.00 182.00 208.00 234.00 260.00 Medicare Eligible $ 85.00 102.00 119.00 136.00 153.00 170.00 11. PURCHASED POWER, SALES AND TRANSMISSION COMMITMENTS The Authority is party to Firm Electric Service and Transmission Service Contracts with terms expiring September 30, 2017. This requires the Authority to pay approximately 19 percent of Western’s revenue requirements each operating year until the contract expires. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Authority paid $15,344,365 for Purchased Power under this contract. The Authority is obligated to pay these costs under the contract even in the unlikely event that no power is supplied. During the year ended June 30, 2002, the Authority paid $5,204,148 for related transmission costs to Western. The Authority has sales contracts with all customers. Under these contracts, customers are obligated to pay for their percentage allocation if any Hoover power is delivered or made available for delivery. These sales contracts expire September 30, 2017, but some can be terminated by the Authority on June 1, 2007 or thereafter.
