Vested benefits are payable in a lump sum upon retirement, termination, death or disability. If the participant’s account balance exceeds $5,000, the participant may defer payment, or upon retirement, elect installment payments over a specified period of time not exceeding 15 years from the date of commencement of benefits. The Plan also provides for withdrawals due to financial hardship.
Participants may borrow from their account balance a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance under the Plan. Loan terms range from 1 to 5 years, or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence, except for some loans, which are transferred in from other plans, which maintain their existing terms. The loans bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates and are secured by the balance in the participant’s account and an assignment of current pay of the participant sufficient to service the loan.
Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company may wholly or partially terminate the Plan or direct the discontinuance of contributions at any time, subject to the provisions of ERISA. Upon terminating the Plan, the Company may either liquidate the assets or continue to pay benefits as they become payable under Plan provisions. If the assets are liquidated, the net assets (after payment of expenses) will be allocated among participants in proportion to their account balances.
Forfeitures in the Plan relate to the unvested portion of Matching Contributions attributable to participants who terminate employment. Amounts forfeited by terminating participants may be restored to the participant if the participant returns to work within a time period specified by the Plan. Forfeitures not restored to participants will be applied first to restore other prior forfeitures and then to pay Plan expenses. Any remaining forfeitures are reallocated to participants as additional Fixed Contributions.
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.
The investments in ScottishPower ADS are stated at fair value based on published market quotations at year-end. Each ScottishPower ADS represents four ordinary shares of ScottishPower common stock. The per share market values of the ScottishPower ADS at December 31, 2002 and 2001 were $22.92 and $21.70, respectively.

Investment valuation (continued)
Investments in mutual funds and the common and commingled trust fund are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Temporary cash investments and participant loans are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
The Plan’s investments in insurance contracts are stated at contract value, which represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less withdrawals. Plan management believes that the contract value approximates fair value for the insurance contracts. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the fair value of all investment contracts was $105,461,077 and $83,585,914, respectively. The average yield to maturity of the insurance contracts was 5.52% and 6.14% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. There were no valuation reserves at December 31, 2002 and 2001.
Fixed rate insurance contract crediting rates are applied as determined at the time of purchase and are constant until maturity. Variable or floating rate contracts’ crediting rates are reset from time to time to minimize the spread between market and book value for security-backed investments or to allow the general account investment to be interest rate responsive. The reset values for security backed investment rates are a function of contract value, market value, yield and duration. The average crediting interest rate was 4.99% and 5.99% at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Minimum crediting interest rates vary by contract.
Some insurance contracts contain contingencies that could lead to penalties being assessed on withdrawals from the contract that are the result of events initiated by the Company such as plan terminations, spin-offs or early retirement programs.
Investment transactions and investment income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net (depreciation) appreciation in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized (depreciation) appreciation on these investments.
Payment of benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid. As of December 31, 2002 and 2001, net assets available for benefits included benefits of $376,673 and $1,012,145, respectively, due to participants who have withdrawn from participation in the Plan.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Administrative expenses
The Plan provides that each participating Employer may pay administrative costs and expenses of the Plan; those costs not paid by each Employer are paid from Plan assets.
Participant loans
Loan transactions are treated as a transfer between the investment funds and the Participant Loan Fund.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent accounting pronouncements
On January 1, 2001, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138 became effective for the Plan.
In October 2001, the Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) issued guidance under SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue C19, Contracts Subject to Statement 35, Statement 110, or Statement of Position 94-4 (Issue C19), which provides that contracts that are accounted for under either SFAS No. 110 or SFAS No. 35, as amended by SFAS No. 110, or SOP 94-4 are exempt from SFAS No. 133. A FASB Exposure Draft of a proposed amendment to SFAS No. 133 addressing these issues was recently issued. Accordingly, the Plan continues to apply SOP 94-4.

Party-in-Interest Transactions
Certain Plan investments are shares of ScottishPower ADS, the Bankers Trust Pyramid Directed Account Cash Fund and Pyramid Equity Index Fund. Indirectly, ScottishPower is the Plan Sponsor and Bankers Trust is the trustee, as defined by the Plan. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest.

Concentration of Risk
At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Plan’s assets consist primarily of investments in financial instruments, including temporary cash investments, guaranteed investment contracts, ScottishPower ADS, mutual funds, a common and commingled trust fund and participant loans. The Plan does not require collateral or other security to support the investments in these financial instruments. These investments may subject the Plan to concentrations of risk, as from time-to-time, (a) cash balances exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (b) market values of securities are dependent on the ability of the issuers to honor contractual commitments, and (c) the value of ScottishPower ADS, mutual funds and the common and commingled trust fund are subject to changes in market values.
6.
Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has determined and informed the Company by letter dated May 6, 2002, that the Plan and related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC.
