Presentation The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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 those estimates. 15. New Accounting Standards In June 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 02-3, "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," requiring energy trading companies to classify revenues and expenses associated with certain energy trading contracts on a net basis within revenues, rather than recording the gross revenues and expenses. Select Energy and SENY currently account for energy trading activities using the mark-to-market method under EITF Issue No. 98-10, "Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities." EITF Issue No. 98-10 allows energy trading activities to be presented as revenues and as expenses or on a net basis in revenues in the income statement. Effective July 1, 2002, Select Energy and SENY adopted net reporting of revenues and expenses as allowed by EITF Issue No. 98-10. Prior to July 1, 2002, Select Energy and SENY presented energy trading activities as revenues and expenses as allowed by EITF Issue No. 98-10. The adoption of net reporting was applied retroactively to all periods presented but will have no effect on net income. On October 25, 2002, the EITF reached additional consensuses in EITF Issue No. 02-3. These consensuses supercede the consensus the EITF reached in June 2002. The first consensus rescinds EITF Issue No. 98-10, under which Select Energy currently accounts for energy trading activities. The consensus will require energy trading companies to follow SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, for energy trading activities and to discontinue mark-to- market accounting for contracts that are not derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the extent of trading contracts that are not derivatives. The second consensus requires net reporting of derivative energy trading activities effective January 1, 2003. Management has already adopted net reporting of trading activities and will continue to evaluate EITF Issue No. 02-3 as additional guidance becomes available. 16. Market Risk and Risk Management Instruments Select Energy provides both full requirement energy services to its customers and engages in energy trading and marketing activities. Select Energy manages its exposure to risk from its contractual commitments and provides risk management services to its customers through forward contracts, futures, over- the-counter swap agreements, and options (commodity derivatives). Select Energy has utilized the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose quantitative information for its commodity price risks. Sensitivity analysis provides a presentation of the potential loss of future earnings, fair values or cash flows from market risk-sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to one or more hypothetical changes in commodity prices, or other similar price changes. Commodity Price Risk - Trading Activities: As market participants in the Northeast United States, Select Energy and SENY conduct commodity-trading activities in electricity and its related products, natural gas and oil, and therefore, experience net open positions. Select Energy and SENY manage these open positions with strict policies which limit its exposure to market risk and require daily reporting to management of potential financial exposure. Under EITF Issue No. 98-10, these instruments are currently adjusted to market value, and the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the current period in the consolidated income statement as purchased power, net interchange power and capacity and in the consolidated balance sheet as unrealized net gains and unrealized losses on mark-to-market transactions. The net mark-to-market position at September 30, 2002 had asset values of $87.7 million for Select Energy and $10.6 million for SENY. These amounts include intercompany transactions of $16.6 million.. Under sensitivity analysis, the fair value of the portfolio is a function of the underlying commodity, contract prices and market prices represented by each derivative commodity contract. For swaps, forward contracts and options, market value reflects management's best estimates considering over-the- counter quotations, time value and volatility factors of the underlying commitments. Exchange-traded futures and options are recorded at market based on closing exchange prices. As of September 30, 2002, Select Energy has calculated the market price resulting from a 10 percent unfavorable change in forward market prices. That 10 percent change would result in approximately a $3.3 million decline in the fair value of the Select Energy trading portfolio. In the normal course of business, Select Energy also faces risks that are either nonfinancial or nonquantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk, which is not reflected in this sensitivity analysis. Commodity Price Risk - Nontrading Derivative Activities: Select Energy utilizes derivative financial and commodity instruments (derivatives), including futures and forward contracts, to reduce market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas sold under firm commitments to certain customers. Select Energy also utilizes derivatives, including price swap agreements, call and put option contracts, and futures and forward contracts, to manage the market risk associated with a portion of its anticipated supply requirements. These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments. When conducting sensitivity analyses of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity, natural gas and oil nontrading derivatives portfolio, which would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity, natural gas and oil, the fair values of the contracts are determined from models which take into account estimated future market prices of electricity, natural gas and oil, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the underlying commitments. In most instances, market prices and volatility are determined from quoted prices on the futures exchange. Select Energy has determined a hypothetical change in the fair value for its nontrading derivatives and electricity, natural gas and oil contracts, assuming a 10 percent unfavorable change in forward market prices. As of September 30, 2002, an unfavorable 10 percent change in market price would have resulted in a decline in fair value of approximately $15 million. The impact of a change in electricity, natural gas and oil prices on Select Energy's nontrading derivatives contracts on September 30, 2002, is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts are physically delivered. Select Energy also maintains natural gas service agreements with certain customers to supply gas at fixed prices for terms extending through 2004. Select Energy has hedged its gas supply risk under these agreements through New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) contracts. Under these contracts, the purchase price of a specified quantity of gas is effectively fixed over the term of the gas service agreements, which also extend through 2004. As of September 30, 2002, the NYMEX contracts had a notional value of $50.3 million and a mark-to-market asset value of $4.7 million. 17. Special Deposits Special deposits include cash collateral posted in connection with various power purchase and sales agreements.
