NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. | Consolidation and Nature of Operations |
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pinnacle West and our wholly-owned subsidiaries: APS, Pinnacle West Energy, APS Energy Services, SunCor and El Dorado. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated. Our accounting records are maintained in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
2. | Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which we believe are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. We suggest that these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements be read along with the consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2004 Form 10-K.
3. | Quarterly Fluctuations |
Weather conditions cause significant seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. In addition, real estate, trading and wholesale marketing activities can have significant impacts on our results for interim periods. For these reasons, results for interim periods do not necessarily represent results to be expected for the year.
4. | Changes in Liquidity |
On January 15, 2005, APS repaid its $100 million 6.25% Notes due 2005. APS used cash on hand to repay these notes.
On March 1, 2005, Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued $164 million of variable interest rate pollution control bonds, 2005 Series A-E, due 2029. The bonds were issued to refinance $164 million of outstanding pollution control bonds. The Series A-E bonds are payable solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement between APS and Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation. These bonds are classified as long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On April 11, 2005, Pinnacle West Energy issued $500 million of Floating Rate Senior Notes due April 1, 2007. Pinnacle West has unconditionally guaranteed these notes. Pinnacle West Energy used the proceeds of this issuance to repay a $500 million loan from APS. See “ACC Financing Order” in Note 5. APS intends to transfer $500 million in connection with Pinnacle West Energy’s transfer of the PWEC Dedicated Assets to APS. In the interim, APS intends to invest the proceeds or use them for general corporate purposes. See “APS General Rate Case” in Note 5 for information regarding APS’ acquisition of the PWEC Dedicated Assets.

Pinnacle West used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including making capital contributions to APS, which, in turn, used such funds to pay a portion of the approximately $190 million purchase price to acquire the Sundance Plant and for other capital expenditures incurred to meet the growing needs of APS’ service territory.
On August 1, 2005, APS repaid $300 million of its 7.625% Notes due 2005. APS used cash on hand to repay these notes.
APS had $566 million of pollution control bonds outstanding under which interest rates are reset on a daily, weekly or annual basis as of June 30, 2005. The holders of $223 million of these bonds have the right to cause APS to purchase their bonds on the applicable reset date if the bonds are not remarketed. Of these bonds, $50 million is classified as current maturities of long-term debt. The remaining $173 million of bonds are classified as long-term debt because APS has the intent and ability, as demonstrated by credit agreements in place that extend for more than one year, to refinance any bonds that APS is required to purchase.
The following is a list of principal payments due on Pinnacle West’s consolidated long-term debt and capitalized lease requirements as of June 30, 2005:
• | $352 million in 2005; | ||
• | $389 million in 2006; | ||
• | $674 million in 2007; | ||
• | $6 million in 2008; | ||
• | $1 million in 2009; and | ||
• | $2.012 billion thereafter. |
We have investments in auction rate securities in which interest rates are reset on a short-term basis; however, the underlying contract maturity dates extend beyond three months. We classify the investments in auction rate securities as investments in debt securities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The purchase and sale activities related to these investments have been reclassified on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the prior-year period to show purchases and sales on a gross basis.

APS General Rate Case
On April 7, 2005, the ACC issued an order in the general rate case that APS filed on June 27, 2003. The order became final and non-appealable on April 28, 2005. In its order, the ACC approved the 2004 Settlement Agreement, with certain revisions. Certain key financial components of the order include:
• | APS received an annual retail rate increase of approximately $75.5 million, or 4.21%, which was effective as of April 1, 2005. This increase does not include the impact of the PSA (discussed below). | ||
• | The PSA provides for the annual adjustment of rates to reflect variations in fuel and purchased power costs, subject to specified parameters and procedures, including the following: |
• | APS will record deferrals for recovery or refund to the extent actual fuel and purchased power costs vary from $0.020743 per kWh (basic fuel amount); | ||
• | The above deferrals are subject to a 90/10 sharing arrangement in which APS must absorb 10% of the costs above the base fuel amount and may retain 10% of the benefit from the costs that are below the base fuel amount; | ||
• | amounts to be recovered or refunded through the annual PSA adjustment are limited to a cumulative plus or minus $0.004 per kWh over the life of the PSA; | ||
• | in addition, the ACC order provides for a PSA surcharge mechanism as follows: |
• | each time the accumulated pretax net deferrals reach $50 million, APS must notify the ACC, but prior to the deferral balance exceeding $100 million, APS must file with the ACC to recover or refund such deferral balance through a surcharge; | ||
• | amounts recovered or refunded through any surcharge are not included in the $0.004 per kWh PSA annual adjustment limit; |
• | the recoverable amount of net fuel and purchased power costs through base rates and the $0.004 per kWh adjustment is capped at $776.2 million per year - PSA surcharge amounts are not included in the $776.2 million annual limits on fuel and purchased power recovery (APS does not expect such costs to exceed $776.2 million in 2005); |

• | the PSA will remain in effect for a minimum five-year period, but the ACC may eliminate the PSA at any time, if appropriate, in the event APS files a rate case before the expiration of the five-year period or if APS does not comply with the terms of the PSA; | ||
• | APS filed a request for a PSA surcharge on July 22, 2005 (see discussion below); and | ||
• | the first regular annual adjustment to the PSA would be on April 1, 2006, and is expected to be for the full $0.004 per kWh permitted by the ACC’s order, which is in addition to the PSA surcharge requested on July 22, 2005. |
• | The 2004 Settlement Agreement included a self-build moratorium for generating plants to be in service prior to January 1, 2015. The ACC order modified that moratorium to include the acquisition of a generating unit, or an interest in a generating unit, from any utility or merchant generator without prior ACC approval. | ||
• | APS was authorized to acquire Redhawk Units 1 and 2, West Phoenix Units 4 and 5, and Saguaro Unit 3, which are dedicated to serving APS’ customers (the “PWEC Dedicated Assets”) from Pinnacle West Energy, with a net carrying value of approximately $850 million, and to rate base the PWEC Dedicated Assets at a rate base value of $700 million, which will result in a mandatory rate base disallowance of approximately $150 million. This transfer was approved by the FERC on June 15, 2005 and completed on July 29, 2005. As a result, for financial reporting purposes, APS will recognize a one-time, after-tax net plant write-off of approximately $90 million during the third quarter of 2005. | ||
• | To bridge the time between the effective date of the rate increase and the actual date the PWEC Dedicated Assets transfer, effective April 1, 2005, APS and PWEC entered into a cost-based purchase power agreement (the “Bridge PPA”), which was based on the value of the PWEC Dedicated Assets. When the Bridge PPA became effective, prior power purchase agreements entered into between APS and PWEC were terminated. The Bridge PPA was terminated on July 29, 2005, upon Pinnacle West Energy’s transfer of the PWEC Dedicated Assets to APS. | ||
• | Effective April 1, 2005, APS adopted longer service lives in accordance with the 2004 Settlement Agreement for certain depreciable assets. This change is expected to have the effect of reducing annual depreciation expense for financial reporting purposes by approximately $30 million. Also in accordance with the 2004 Settlement Agreement, we adopted longer service lives for the PWEC Dedicated Assets, which is expected to have the effect of reducing annual depreciation expense for financial reporting purposes by approximately $10 million. |
Power Supply Adjuster
On July 22, 2005, APS filed an Application for Surcharge with the ACC requesting recovery of $100 million in deferred purchased power and fuel costs under the PSA approved by the ACC in APS’ recent general rate case. As required by the ACC order approving the PSA, APS filed the Application for Surcharge after the PSA “bank balance” reached $50 million and before it reached

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
$100 million, which APS expects to occur by mid-August of this year. APS proposes to recover the $100 million PSA bank balance over a 24-month period beginning with the billing cycle one of November 2005. The requested PSA surcharge represents an approximate 2.2% temporary increase in overall APS retail revenues.
Equity Infusion Notice
On July 20, 2005, Pinnacle West filed a Notice with the ACC indicating its intent to infuse more than $100 million of equity into APS during each of 2005, 2006 and subsequent years. Under Arizona law and decisions, Pinnacle West is required to give such notice at least 120 days prior to such an equity infusion into APS. The ACC may, but need not, take action on this Notice. If the ACC takes no action within the 120 day notice period, Pinnacle West may thereafter make the proposed equity infusions, at management’s discretion.
ACC Financing Order
On May 12, 2003, APS issued $500 million of debt pursuant to the Financing Order and made a $500 million loan to Pinnacle West Energy. Pinnacle West Energy distributed the net proceeds of that loan to the Company to fund the repayment of a portion of the debt incurred to finance the construction of the PWEC Dedicated Assets. On April 11, 2005, this loan was repaid with the proceeds of a new debt issuance by Pinnacle West Energy. See “Capital Needs and Resources — By Company — Pinnacle West Energy” in Part I, Item 2 below.
The ACC granted the Financing Order subject to various conditions. One of these conditions is that APS must maintain a common equity ratio of at least 40% and may not pay common dividends if such payment would reduce its common equity ratio below that threshold, unless otherwise waived by the ACC. This condition is an ongoing requirement and was not affected by Pinnacle West Energy’s repayment of APS’ $500 million loan.
Retail Electric Competition Rules
In 1999, the ACC approved rules for the introduction of retail electric competition in Arizona. The rules include the following major provisions:
• | They apply to virtually all Arizona electric utilities regulated by the ACC, including APS. | ||
• | Effective January 1, 2001, retail access became available to all APS retail electricity customers. |
13
Table of Contents
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
• | Electric service providers that get CC&N’s from the ACC can supply only competitive services, including electric generation, but not electric transmission and distribution. | ||
• | Affected utilities must file ACC tariffs that unbundle rates for noncompetitive services. | ||
• | The ACC shall allow a reasonable opportunity for recovery of unmitigated stranded costs. |
On November 27, 2000, a Maricopa County, Arizona, Superior Court judge issued a final judgment holding that the rules are unconstitutional and unlawful in their entirety due to failure to establish a fair value rate base for competitive electric service providers and because certain of the rules were not submitted to the Arizona Attorney General for certification. The judgment also invalidates all ACC orders authorizing competitive electric service providers, including APS Energy Services, to operate in Arizona. The ACC and other parties aligned with the ACC appealed the ruling to the Arizona Court of Appeals, and in January 2004, the Court invalidated some, but not all, of the rules as either violative of Arizona’s constitutional requirement that the ACC consider the “fair value” of a utility’s property in setting rates or as being beyond the ACC’s constitutional and statutory powers. Other rules were set aside for failure to submit such regulations to the Arizona Attorney General for certification as required by statute. A request for the Arizona Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeals decision was denied on January 4, 2005. To date, the ACC has taken no action on either the rules or the orders authorizing competitive electric service providers in response to the now final Court of Appeals decision. As a result, at present only limited electric retail competition exists in Arizona and only with certain entities not regulated by the ACC.
Track B Order
On March 14, 2003, the ACC issued the Track B Order, which required APS to solicit bids for certain estimated amounts of capacity and energy for periods beginning July 1, 2003. By May 6, 2003, APS entered into contracts to meet all or a portion of its requirements for the years 2003 through 2006 as follows:
(1) | Pinnacle West Energy agreed to provide 1,700 MW in July through September of 2003 and in June through September of 2004, 2005 and 2006, by means of a unit contingent contract. | ||
(2) | PPL EnergyPlus, LLC agreed to provide 112 MW in July through September of 2003 and 150 MW in June through September of 2004 and 2005, by means of a unit contingent contract. | ||
(3) | Panda Gila River LP agreed to provide 450 MW in October of 2003 and 2004 and May of 2004 and 2005, and 225 MW from November 2003 through April 2004 and from November 2004 through April 2005, by means of firm call options. |

With final ACC approval of the 2004 Settlement Agreement, the Track B contract with Pinnacle West Energy was cancelled, effective April 1, 2005 and replaced by the Bridge PPA. Also, the Track B contract with PPL was cancelled upon closing of the purchase of the Sundance Plant. On May 13, 2005, APS acquired the Sundance Plant from PPL Sundance for a purchase price of approximately $190 million.
General
Although some very limited retail competition existed in APS’ service area in 1999 and 2000, there are currently no active retail competitors providing unbundled energy or other utility services to APS’ customers. As a result, we cannot predict when, and the extent to which, additional competitors will re-enter APS’ service territory.
Federal
In July 2002, the FERC adopted a price mitigation plan that constrains the price of electricity in the wholesale spot electricity market in the western United States. The FERC adopted a price cap of $250 per MWh for the period subsequent to October 31, 2002. Sales at prices above the cap must be justified and are subject to potential refund.
On July 31, 2002, the FERC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for Standard Market Design for wholesale electric markets and, on April 28, 2003, the FERC Staff issued an additional white paper on the proposed Standard Market Design. On July 19, 2005, the FERC terminated the rulemaking proceeding.
On August 11, 2004, Pinnacle West, APS, Pinnacle West Energy, and APS Energy Services (collectively, the “Pinnacle West Companies”) submitted to the FERC an update to its three-year market-based rate review, pursuant to the FERC’s order implementing a new generation market power analysis. On December 20, 2004, the FERC issued an order approving market-based rates for control areas other than those of APS, Public Service Company of New Mexico and Tucson Electric Company. The order required the Pinnacle West Companies to submit additional data with respect to these control areas, and on February 18, 2005, the Pinnacle West Companies submitted such data. On April 11, 2005, APS and a group of APS wholesale electric customers, the Arizona Districts, submitted a settlement that resolved concerns raised by the Arizona Districts in the proceeding. On May 2, 2005, a protest and a motion to intervene were filed by the Yavapai-Apache Energy Office with respect to the settlement between APS and the Arizona Districts. On April 5, 2005, the FERC issued a deficiency letter seeking further information from the Pinnacle West Companies relating to the APS control area and the Pinnacle West Companies filed a response on April 22, 2005. The notice period for filing comments on that response expired on May 5, 2005, and no additional comments were filed. We cannot currently predict the outcome of this proceeding, but we do not believe that the outcome will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Contributions
Our minimum required pension contribution in 2005 is approximately $53 million. Of this amount, we have contributed approximately $27 million through July 2005. The contribution to be made to other postretirement benefit plans in 2005 is estimated to be approximately $37 million. Of this amount, we contributed approximately $18 million through July 2005. APS’ share is approximately 92% of both plans.
7. | Business Segments |
We have three principal business segments (determined by products, services and the regulatory environment):
• | our regulated electricity segment, which consists of traditional regulated retail and wholesale electricity businesses (primarily electricity service to Native Load customers) and related activities and includes electricity generation, transmission and distribution; |

8. | New Accounting Standards |
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” The standard establishes accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. SFAS No. 123(R) is effective for us as of January 1, 2006. We have evaluated the impacts of this new guidance and do not believe it will have a material impact on our financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued FIN No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations.” FIN No. 47 clarifies that an entity must record a liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation for which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN No. 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We are currently evaluating the new guidance, but do not expect the adoption of this interpretation to have a material impact on our financial statements.
9. Variable Interest Entities
In 1986, APS entered into agreements with three separate VIE lessors in order to sell and lease back interests in Palo Verde Unit 2. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with GAAP. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Palo Verde VIEs and, accordingly, do not consolidate them.
APS is exposed to losses under the Palo Verde sale leaseback agreements upon the occurrence of certain events that APS does not consider to be reasonably likely to occur. Under certain circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to Palo Verde or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), APS would be required to assume the debt associated with the transactions, make specified payments to the equity participants, and take title to the leased Unit 2 interests, which, if appropriate, may be required to be written down in value. If such an event had occurred as of June 30, 2005, APS would have been required to assume approximately $245 million of debt and pay the equity participants approximately $191 million.
10. Derivative and Energy Trading Accounting
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the commodity price of electricity, natural gas, coal and emissions allowances and in interest rates. We manage risks associated with
18
Table of Contents
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
these market fluctuations by utilizing various instruments that qualify as derivatives, including exchange-traded futures and options and over-the-counter forwards, options and swaps. As part of our overall risk management program, we use such instruments to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates and to hedge purchases and sales of electricity, fuels, and emissions allowances and credits. As of June 30, 2005, we hedged exposures to the price variability of the commodities for a maximum of four years. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to price changes in the hedged transactions. In addition, subject to specified risk parameters monitored by the ERMC, we engage in marketing and trading activities intended to profit from market price movements.
Cash Flow Hedges |
The changes in the fair value of our hedged positions included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||
June 30, | June 30, | |||||||||||||||
2005 | 2004 | 2005 | 2004 | |||||||||||||
Gains on the ineffective portion of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting | $ | 4,514 | $ | 88 | $ | 11,837 | $ | 1,472 | ||||||||
Gains (losses) from the change in options’ time value excluded from measurement of effectiveness | (1,189 | ) | (17 | ) | (331 | ) | 63 | |||||||||
Gains from the discontinuance of cash flow hedges | — | — | 385 | 1,137 |
During the twelve months ending June 30, 2006, we estimate that a net gain of $87 million before income taxes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an offset to the effect of market price changes for the related hedged transactions.
Our assets and liabilities from risk management and trading activities are presented in two categories, consistent with our business segments:
• | Regulated Electricity — non-trading derivative instruments that hedge our purchases and sales of electricity and fuel for APS’ Native Load requirements of our regulated electricity business segment; and | ||
• | Marketing and Trading — both non-trading and trading derivative instruments of our competitive business segment. |
The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities from risk management and trading activities at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 (dollars in thousands):

Cash or other assets may be required to serve as collateral against our open positions on certain energy-related contracts. Collateral provided to counterparties was $6 million at June 30, 2005 and $1 million at December 31, 2004, and is included in other current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Collateral provided to us by counterparties was $122 million at June 30, 2005 and $24 million at December 31, 2004, and is included in other current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value Hedges
On January 29, 2004, we entered into two fixed-for-floating interest rate swap transactions on our $300 million 6.4% Senior Notes. The purpose of these hedges is to protect against significant fluctuations in the fair value of our debt. Our interest rate swaps are considered to be fully effective with any resulting gains or losses on the derivative offset by a similar loss or gain amount on the underlying fair value of our debt. The fair value of the interest rate swaps was a loss of approximately $2.7 million at June 30, 2005 and is included in other current liabilities with the corresponding offset in current maturities of long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance or nonpayment by counterparties. We have risk management and trading contracts with many counterparties, including one counterparty for which a worst case exposure represents approximately 16% of Pinnacle West’s $620 million of risk management and trading assets as of June 30, 2005. Our risk management process assesses and monitors the financial exposure of these and all other counterparties. Despite the fact that the great majority of trading counterparties are rated as investment grade by the credit rating agencies, including the counterparty discussed above, there is still a possibility that one or more of these companies could default, resulting in a material impact on consolidated earnings for a given period. Counterparties in the portfolio consist principally of major energy companies, municipalities, local distribution companies and financial institutions. We maintain credit policies that we believe minimize overall credit risk to within acceptable limits. Determination of the credit quality of our counterparties is based upon a number of factors, including credit ratings and our evaluation of their financial condition. In many contracts, we employ collateral requirements and standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. Valuation adjustments are established representing our estimated credit losses on our overall exposure to counterparties.

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
Spent Nuclear Fuel and Waste Disposal
Nuclear power plant operators are required to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with the DOE, and the DOE is required to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive wastes generated by domestic power reactors. Although the Nuclear Waste Act required the DOE to develop a permanent repository for the storage and disposal of spent nuclear fuel by 1998, the DOE has announced that the repository cannot be completed before 2010 and it does not intend to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel prior to that date. In

November 1997, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) issued a decision preventing the DOE from excusing its own delay, but refused to order the DOE to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. Based on this decision and the DOE’s delay, a number of utilities, including APS (on behalf of itself and the other Palo Verde owners), filed damages actions against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims.Arizona Public Service Company v. United States of America, United States Court of Federal Claims, 03-2832C.
APS currently estimates it will incur $147 million (in 2004 dollars) over the life of Palo Verde for its share of the costs related to the on-site interim storage of spent nuclear fuel. At June 30, 2005, APS had a regulatory asset of $10 million which represents amounts spent for on-site interim spent fuel storage net of amounts recovered in rates per the ACC rate order that was effective April 1, 2005.
California Energy Market Issues and Refunds in the Pacific Northwest
FERC
In July 2001, the FERC ordered an expedited fact-finding hearing to calculate refunds for spot market transactions in California during a specified time frame. APS was a seller and a purchaser in the California markets at issue, and to the extent that refunds are ordered, APS should be a recipient as well as a payor of such amounts. The FERC is still considering the evidence and refund amounts have not yet been finalized. APS does not anticipate material changes in its exposure and still believes, subject to the finalization of the revised proxy prices, that it will be entitled to a net refund.
On March 19, 2002, the State of California filed a complaint with the FERC alleging that wholesale sellers of power and energy, including the Company, failed to properly file rate information at the FERC in connection with sales to California from 2000 to the present under market-based rates.State of California v. British Columbia Power Exchange et al., Docket No. EL02-71-000. The complaint requests the FERC to require the wholesale sellers to refund any rates that are “found to exceed just and reasonable levels.” This complaint was dismissed by the FERC and the State of California appealed the matter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In an order issued September 9, 2004, the Ninth Circuit upheld the FERC’s authority to permit market-based rates, but rejected the FERC’s claim that it was without authority to consider retroactive refunds when a utility has not strictly adhered to the quarterly reporting requirements of the market-based rate system. On September 9, 2004, the Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the FERC for further proceedings.State of California ex rel. Bill Lockyer, Attorney General v. FERC, No. 02-73093. Several of the intervenors in this appeal filed a petition for rehearing of this decision on October 25, 2004. The petition for rehearing has not been acted upon, and the outcome of the further proceedings cannot be predicted at this time.

The FERC also ordered an evidentiary proceeding to discuss and evaluate possible refunds for the Pacific Northwest. The FERC affirmed the ALJ’s conclusion that the prices in the Pacific Northwest were not unreasonable or unjust and refunds should not be ordered in this proceeding. This decision has now been appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Although the FERC ruling in the Pacific Northwest matter is being appealed and the FERC has not yet calculated the specific refund amounts due in California, we do not expect that the resolution of these issues, as to the amounts alleged in the proceedings, will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On March 26, 2003, FERC made public a Final Report on Price Manipulation in Western Markets, prepared by its staff and covering spot markets in the West in 2000 and 2001. The report stated that a significant number of entities who participated in the California markets during the 2000-2001 time period, including APS, may potentially have been involved in arbitrage transactions that allegedly violated certain provisions of the Independent System Operator tariff. After reviewing the matter, along with the data supplied by APS, the FERC staff moved to dismiss the claims against APS and to dismiss the proceeding. The motion to dismiss was granted by the FERC on January 22, 2004. Certain parties have sought rehearing of this order, and that request is pending.
California Civil Energy Market Litigation
The State of California and others have filed various claims, which have now been consolidated, against several power suppliers to California alleging antitrust violations.Wholesale Electricity Antitrust Cases I and II, Superior Court in and for the County of San Diego, Proceedings Nos. 4204-00005 and 4204-00006. Two of the suppliers who were named as defendants in those matters, Reliant Energy Services, Inc. (and other Reliant entities) and Duke Energy and Trading, LLP (and other Duke entities), filed cross-claims against various other participants in the PX and California independent system operator markets, including APS, attempting to expand those matters to such other participants. On December 13, 2002, the judge remanded the case to state court for the second time and the matter was appealed. On December 8, 2004, the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion on immunity on certain unrelated defendants. The cross-defendants will not be required to respond until the Court rules on pending motions. APS believes the claims by Reliant and Duke as they relate to APS are without merit.
APS was also named in a lawsuit regarding wholesale contracts in California, which, after being moved to state court, has been removed to the federal court for a second time.James Millar, et al. v. Allegheny Energy Supply, et al., San Francisco Superior Court, Case No. 407867, U.S. District Court (Northern District) C-04-0519 SBA. The First Amended Complaint alleges basically that the contracts entered into were the result of an unfair and unreasonable market, in violation of California unfair competition laws. The defendants have filed a motion in the state court requesting that the case be dismissed and expect a ruling prior to trial within the next several months. The PX has filed a lawsuit against the State of California regarding the seizure of forward contracts and the State has filed a cross complaint against APS and numerous other PX participants.Cal PX v. The State of California, Superior Court in and for the County of Sacramento, JCCP No. 4203. Various motions continue to be filed, and we currently believe these claims will have no material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Natural Gas Supply
Pursuant to the terms of a comprehensive settlement entered into in 1996 with El Paso Natural Gas Company, the rates charged for natural gas transportation are subject to a rate moratorium through December 31, 2005.

On July 9, 2003 the FERC issued an order that altered the capacity rights of parties to the 1996 settlement but maintained the cost responsibility provisions agreed to by parties to that settlement. On December 28, 2004, the D.C. Court of Appeals upheld the FERC’s authority to alter the capacity rights of parties to the settlement. With respect to the FERC’s authority to maintain the cost responsibility provisions of the settlement, a party has sought appellate review and is seeking to reallocate the costs responsibility associated with the changed contractual obligations in a way that would be less favorable to APS and Pinnacle West Energy than under the FERC’s July 9, 2003 order. Should this party prevail on this point, APS and Pinnacle West Energy’s annual capacity cost could be increased by approximately $3 million per year, from September 2003 through December 2005.
Consistent with its obligations under the 1996 settlement, El Paso filed a new rate case on June 30, 2005, which proposes new rates and new services to become effective on January 1, 2006. Protests were filed on July 12, 2005.
Navajo Nation Litigation
In June 1999, the Navajo Nation served Salt River Project with a lawsuit naming Salt River Project, several Peabody Coal Company entities (collectively, “Peabody”), Southern California Edison Company and other defendants, and citing various claims in connection with the renegotiations of the coal royalty and lease agreements under which Peabody mines coal for the Navajo Generating Station and the Mohave Generating Station.The Navajo Nation v. Peabody Holding Company, Inc., et al., United States District Court for the District of Columbia, CA-99-0469-EGS (the “D.C. Lawsuit”). APS is a 14% owner of the Navajo Generating Station, which Salt River Project operates. The D.C. Lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants obtained a favorable coal royalty rate by improperly influencing the outcome of a federal administrative process under which the royalty rate was to be adjusted. The suit seeks $600 million in damages, treble damages, punitive damages of not less than $1 billion, and the ejection of defendants “from all possessory interests and Navajo Tribal lands arising out of the [primary coal lease]”. In July 2001, the court dismissed all claims against Salt River Project.
In January, 2005, Peabody served APS with a lawsuit naming APS and the other Navajo Generating Station participants and seeking, among other things, a declaration that the participants “are obligated to reimburse Peabody for any royalty, tax, or other obligation arising out of the D.C. Lawsuit”.Peabody Western Coal Company v. Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, et al., Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Division No. 1, Cause No. 042-08561. Based on APS’ ownership interest in the Navajo Generating Station, APS could be liable for up to 14% of any such obligation. Because the litigation is in preliminary stages, APS cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter.
Environmental Matters
SuperfundSuperfund establishes liability for the cleanup of hazardous substances found contaminating the soil, water or air. Those who generated, transported or disposed of hazardous substances at a contaminated site are among those who are PRPs. PRPs may be strictly, and often jointly and severally, liable for clean-up. On September 3, 2003, the EPA advised APS that the EPA considers APS to be a PRP in the Motorola 52nd Street Superfund Site, Operable Unit 3 (OU3) in Phoenix, Arizona. APS has facilities that are within this Superfund site. APS

and Pinnacle West have agreed with the EPA to perform certain investigative activities of the APS facilities within OU3. Because the investigation has not yet been completed and ultimate remediation requirements are not yet finalized, neither APS nor Pinnacle West can currently estimate the expenditures which may be required.
Litigation
We are party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to environmental matters related to the Clean Air Act, Navajo Nation issues and EPA and ADEQ issues. In our opinion, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
13. Nuclear Insurance
The Palo Verde participants have insurance for public liability resulting from nuclear energy hazards to the full limit of liability under federal law. This potential liability is covered by primary liability insurance provided by commercial insurance carriers in the amount of $300 million and the balance by an industry-wide retrospective assessment program. If losses at any nuclear power plant covered by the programs exceed the accumulated funds, APS could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments. The maximum assessment per reactor under the program for each nuclear incident is approximately $101 million, subject to an annual limit of $10 million per incident. Based on APS’ interest in the three Palo Verde units, APS’ maximum potential assessment per incident for all three units is approximately $88 million, with an annual payment limitation of approximately $9 million.
The Palo Verde participants maintain “all risk” (including nuclear hazards) insurance for property damage to, and decontamination of, property at Palo Verde in the aggregate amount of $2.75 billion, a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination. APS has also secured insurance against portions of any increased cost of generation or purchased power and business interruption resulting from a sudden and unforeseen outage of any of the three units. The insurance coverage discussed in this and the previous paragraph is subject to certain policy conditions and exclusions.
Possible Price-Anderson Act Changes
Versions of comprehensive energy bills signed by the President on August 8, 2005 contain provisions that would amend the Price-Anderson Act, addressing public liability from nuclear energy hazards in ways that would increase the annual limit on retrospective assessments from $10.0 million to $15.0 million per reactor per incident with APS’ annual exposure per incident increasing from $9.0 million to $13 million.

15. | Guarantees |
We have issued parental guarantees and letters of credit and obtained surety bonds on behalf of our unregulated subsidiaries. Our parental guarantees related to Pinnacle West Energy consist of equipment and performance guarantees related to our generation construction program, and long-term service agreement guarantees for new power plants. Our credit support instruments enable APS Energy Services to offer commodity energy and energy-related products. Non-performance or non-payment under the original contract by our unregulated subsidiaries would require us to perform under the guarantee or surety bond. No liability is currently recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Pinnacle West’s guarantees on behalf of its subsidiaries. Our guarantees have no recourse or collateral provisions to allow us to recover amounts paid under the guarantee. The amounts and approximate terms of our guarantees and surety bonds for each subsidiary at June 30, 2005 are as follows (dollars in millions):

At June 30, 2005, we had entered into approximately $37 million of letters of credit which support various transmission and construction agreements. These letters of credit expire in 2005 and 2006. We intend to provide from either existing or new facilities for the extension, renewal or substitution of the letters of credit to the extent required. At June 30, 2005, Pinnacle West had approximately $4 million of letters of credit related to workers’ compensation expiring in 2006.
APS has entered into various agreements that require letters of credit for financial assurance purposes. At June 30, 2005, approximately $200 million of letters of credit were outstanding to support existing pollution control bonds of approximately $200 million. The letters of credit are available to fund the payment of principal and interest of such debt obligations. In July 2004, $150 million of these letters of credit were renewed for a three-year term and expire in 2007. The remainder expire in 2005. APS has also entered into approximately $100 million of letters of credit to support certain equity lessors in the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions (see Note 9 for further details on the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions). These letters of credit expire in 2010. Additionally, APS has approximately $5 million of letters of credit related to counterparty collateral requirements expiring in 2006. APS intends to provide from either existing or new facilities for the extension, renewal or substitution of the letters of credit to the extent required.
We enter into agreements that include indemnification provisions relating to liabilities arising from or related to certain of our agreements. APS has agreed to indemnify the equity participants and other parties in the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions with respect to certain tax matters. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated in the indemnification provisions and therefore, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnification provisions cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on historical experience and evaluation of the specific indemnities, we do not believe that any material loss related to such indemnification provisions is likely.
See Note 4 for information regarding Pinnacle West’s guarantee of $500 million of Pinnacle West Energy’s debt obligations.

Silverhawk(marketing and trading segment)–In June 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell our 75% interest in Silverhawk to NPC. Closing of the sale is subject to regulatory approvals, including approval by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission and the FERC, which are expected to occur by this fall. As a result of this pending sale, we recorded an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of approximately $55 million. The assets held for sale at June 30, 2005 are $207 million, of which property, plant and equipment accounted for approximately $200 million. Liabilities held for sale relate to accounts payable in the amount of $2 million.
SunCor(real estate segment)–In 2005, SunCor sold commercial properties, which are required to be reported as discontinued operations on Pinnacle West’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with SFAS No. 144. The assets held for sale at June 30, 2005 relate to property in the amount of $35 million. Liabilities held for sale relate to current maturities of long-term debt in the amount of $29 million.
NAC(other segment)–In 2004, we sold our investment in NAC.

instruments that qualify as derivatives to hedge purchases and sales of electricity and fuels. As of June 30, 2005, APS hedged exposures to these risks for a maximum of three years.
Cash Flow Hedges
The changes in the fair value of APS’ hedged positions included in the APS Condensed Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||

2005 | 2004 | 2005 | 2004 | |||||||||||||
Gains on the ineffective portion of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting | $ | 4,512 | $ | 124 | $ | 11,930 | $ | 1,535 | ||||||||

Gains from the discontinuance of cash flow hedges | — | — | 302 | 575 |
During the twelve months ending June 30, 2006, we estimate that a net gain of $54 million before income taxes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an offset to the effect of market price changes for the related hedged transactions.
APS’ assets and liabilities from risk management and trading activities are presented in two categories, consistent with Pinnacle West’s business segments:
• | Regulated Electricity – non-trading derivative instruments that hedge APS’ purchases and sales of electricity and fuel for its Native Load requirements; and | ||
• | Marketing and Trading – both non-trading and trading derivative instruments. |

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Pinnacle West’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Arizona Public Service Company’s Condensed Financial Statements and the related Notes that appear in Item 1 of this report.
OVERVIEW
Pinnacle West owns all of the outstanding common stock of APS. APS is a vertically-integrated electric utility that provides retail and wholesale electric service to most of the state of Arizona, with the major exceptions of about one-half of the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Tucson metropolitan area and Mohave County in northwestern Arizona. Through its marketing and trading division, APS also generates, sells and delivers electricity to wholesale customers in the western United States. APS has historically accounted for a substantial part of our revenues and earnings. Customer growth in APS’ service territory is about three times the national average and remains a fundamental driver of our revenues and earnings.
Pinnacle West Energy is our unregulated generation subsidiary. Pursuant to the ACC’s April 7, 2005 order in APS’ general rate case, on July 29, 2005, Pinnacle West Energy transferred the PWEC Dedicated Assets to APS. See “APS General Rate Case” in Note 5. As a result, Pinnacle West Energy’s remaining generating plant is Silverhawk, a 570 MW combined cycle plant located north of Las Vegas, Nevada. See Note 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the pending sale of our 75% ownership interest in this plant.
As part of the ACC order in APS’ general rate case, the ACC approved the PSA, which permits APS to defer for recovery or refund fuel and purchased power costs, subject to specified parameters and procedures. On July 22, 2005, APS filed an Application for Surcharge with the ACC requesting the recovery of $100 million in deferred fuel and purchased power costs over a 24-month period beginning with billing cycle one of November, 2005. See “APS General Rate Case” in Note 5. APS expects to file another general rate case in late 2005.
SunCor, our real estate development subsidiary, has been and is expected to be an important source of earnings and cash flow, particularly during the years 2003 through 2005 due to accelerated asset sales activity.
Our subsidiary, APS Energy Services, provides competitive commodity-related energy services and energy-related products and services to commercial and industrial retail customers in the western United States.
El Dorado, our investment subsidiary, owns minority interests in several energy-related investments and Arizona community-based ventures.
We continue to focus on solid operational performance in our electricity generation and delivery activities. In the generation area, 2004 represented the thirteenth consecutive year Palo Verde was the largest power producer in the United States. In the delivery area, we focus on superior reliability and customer satisfaction while expanding our transmission and distribution system to

meet growth and sustain reliability. We plan to expand long-term resources to meet our retail customers’ growing electricity needs.
See “Pinnacle West Consolidated – Factors Affecting Our Financial Outlook” below for a discussion of several factors that could affect our future financial results.
EARNINGS CONTRIBUTION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
We have three principal business segments (determined by products, services and the regulatory environment):
• | our regulated electricity segment, which consists of traditional regulated retail and wholesale electricity businesses (primarily electric service to Native Load customers) and related activities and includes electricity generation, transmission and distribution. | ||
• | our marketing and trading segment, which consists of our competitive energy business activities, including wholesale marketing and trading and APS Energy Services’ commodity-related energy services; and | ||
• | our real estate segment, which consists of SunCor’s real estate development and investment activities. |

General
Throughout the following explanations of our results of operations, we refer to “gross margin.” With respect to our regulated electricity segment and our marketing and trading segment, gross margin refers to electric operating revenues less purchased power and fuel costs. “Gross margin” is a “non-GAAP financial measure,” as defined in accordance with SEC rules. Exhibit 99.3 reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to operating income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We view gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure is a key component of our internal financial reporting and is used by our management in analyzing our business segments. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses. In addition, we have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to our current-period presentation.
Pending Sale of Silverhawk
In June 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell our 75% interest in Silverhawk to NPC. Closing of the sale is subject to regulatory approvals, including approval by the Nevada Public Utilities Commission and the FERC, which are expected to occur by this fall. As a result of this pending sale, we recorded an after-tax loss from discontinued operations of approximately $55 million. We have also reclassified Silverhawk operations in the current and prior periods to discontinued operations.
Deferred Purchased Power and Fuel Costs
APS’ retail rate case settlement became effective April 1, 2005. As part of the settlement, the ACC approved a 4.2% annual retail rate increase and a PSA that provides mechanisms for adjusting rates to reflect variations in fuel and purchased power costs. In accordance with the PSA, APS defers for future rate recovery 90% of the difference between actual purchased power and fuel costs and the amount for such costs currently included in base rates. As of June 30, 2005, APS had deferred $34 million of pretax purchased power and fuel costs.
Operating Results – Three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared with three-month period ended June 30, 2004
Our consolidated net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $27 million compared with $73 million for the prior-year period. The current-quarter net income included a loss from discontinued operations of $58 million which is primarily related to the pending sale and operations of Silverhawk (see discussion above). Income from continuing operations increased $11 million in the period-to-period comparison reflecting the following changes in earnings by segment:
• | Regulated Electricity Segment – Income from continuing operations increased approximately $29 million primarily due to a retail price increase effective April 1, 2005, higher retail sales volumes due to customer growth, the absence of regulatory asset amortization, deferred purchased power and fuel costs, net of higher costs, in accordance with the retail rate settlement, and lower depreciation due to lower depreciation rates. These positive factors were partially offset by higher operations and maintenance costs primarily related to generation, customer service, and benefit costs. | ||

Table of Contents
• | Marketing and Trading Segment – Income from continuing operations decreased approximately $4 million primarily due to lower realized margins on wholesale sales. | ||
• | Real Estate Segment – Income from continuing operations increased approximately $7 million primarily due to increased parcel sales. | ||

(a) | As discussed in Note 5 under “APS General Rate Case,” as part of the ACC’s order in APS’ general rate case, APS received rate base treatment of the PWEC Dedicated Assets. The estimated capital expenditures related to the PWEC Dedicated Assets are reflected in APS generation for the years 2005, 2006 and 2007. | |
(b) | The six months ended June 30, 2005 includes $190 million for the acquisition of the Sundance Plant. See Note 4 for a discussion of APS’ acquisition of the Sundance Plant. | |
(c) | Primarily information systems and facilities projects. | |
(d) | Consists primarily of capital expenditures for land development and retail and office building construction reflected in “Real estate investments” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
Delivery capital expenditures are comprised of T&D infrastructure additions and upgrades, capital replacements, new customer construction and related information systems and facility costs. Examples of the types of projects included in the forecast include T&D lines and substations, line extensions to new residential and commercial developments and upgrades to customer information systems. Major transmission projects are driven by strong regional customer growth. APS will begin major projects each year for the next several years, and expects to spend about $200 million on major transmission projects during the 2005 to 2007 time frame. These amounts are included in “APS-Delivery” in the table above. Completion of these projects is expected by at least 2008.
Generation capital expenditures are comprised of various improvements to APS’ existing fossil and nuclear plants, the acquisition of the Sundance Plant and the replacement of Palo Verde steam generators (see below). Examples of the types of projects included in this category are additions, upgrades and capital replacements of various power plant equipment such as turbines, boilers and environmental equipment. Generation also includes nuclear fuel expenditures of approximately $30 million annually for 2005 through 2007.
49
Table of Contents
Replacement of the steam generators in Palo Verde Unit 2 was completed during the fall outage of 2003 at a cost to APS of approximately $70 million. The Palo Verde owners have approved the manufacture of two additional sets of steam generators. These generators will be installed in Unit 1 (scheduled completion in the fall of 2005) and Unit 3 (scheduled completion in the fall of 2007). Our portion of steam generator expenditures for Units 1 and 3 is approximately $140 million, which will be spent through 2008. In 2005 through 2007, approximately $95 million of the costs for steam generator replacements at Units 1 and 3 are included in the generation capital expenditures table above and will be funded with internally-generated cash or external financings.
Contractual Obligations
Our future contractual obligations have not changed materially from the amounts disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of the 2004 Form 10-K with the exception of our aggregate:
• | purchased power and fuel commitments, which increased from approximately $855 million at December 31, 2004 to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2005 primarily due to increased commitment for the years 2005 through 2007; and | |
• | nuclear decommissioning funding requirements, which increased from approximately $201 million at December 31, 2004 to $386 million at June 30, 2005 for the years 2005 and thereafter. |
See Note 4 for a list of payments due on total long-term debt and capitalized lease requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In 1986, APS entered into agreements with three separate VIE lessors in order to sell and lease back interests in Palo Verde Unit 2. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with GAAP. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Palo Verde VIEs and, accordingly, do not consolidate them.
APS is exposed to losses under the Palo Verde sale leaseback agreements upon the occurrence of certain events that APS does not consider to be reasonably likely to occur. Under certain circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to Palo Verde or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), APS would be required to assume the debt associated with the transactions, make specified payments to the equity participants, and take title to the leased Unit 2 interests, which, if appropriate, may be required to be written down in value. If such an event had occurred as of June 30, 2005, APS would have been required to assume approximately $245 million of debt and pay the equity participants approximately $191 million.
Guarantees and Letters of Credit
We and certain of our subsidiaries have issued guarantees and letters of credit in support of our unregulated businesses. We have also obtained surety bonds on behalf of APS Energy Services. We have not recorded any liability on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with respect to these obligations. We generally agree to indemnification provisions related to liabilities arising from or related to certain of our agreements, with limited exceptions depending on the particular agreement. See Note 15 for additional information regarding guarantees and letters of credit.
See “Pinnacle West Energy” below for information regarding Pinnacle West’s guarantee of $500 million of Pinnacle West Energy’s debt obligations.

Credit Ratings
The ratings of securities of Pinnacle West and APS as of August 8, 2005 are shown below and are considered to be “investment-grade” ratings. The ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies, from which an explanation of the significance of their ratings may be obtained. There is no assurance that these ratings will continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision or withdrawal may adversely affect the market price of Pinnacle West’s or APS’ securities and serve to increase those companies’ cost of and access to capital. It may also require additional collateral related to certain derivative instruments (see Note 10).

Debt Provisions
Pinnacle West’s and APS’ debt covenants related to their respective bank financing arrangements include a debt-to-total-capitalization ratio and an interest coverage test. Pinnacle West and APS comply with these covenants and each anticipates it will continue to meet these and other significant covenant requirements. These covenants require that the ratio of debt to total capitalization cannot exceed 65% for the Company and for APS. At June 30, 2005, the ratio was approximately 53% for Pinnacle West and 51% for APS. The provisions regarding interest coverage require a minimum cash coverage of two times the interest requirements for each of the Company and APS. The interest coverage is approximately 4 times under the Company’s and APS’ bank financing agreements. Failure to comply with such covenant levels would result in an event of default which, generally speaking, would require the immediate repayment of the debt subject to the covenants.
Neither Pinnacle West’s nor APS’ financing agreements contain “ratings triggers” that would result in an acceleration of the required interest and principal payments in the event of a ratings downgrade. However, in the event of a ratings downgrade, Pinnacle West and/or APS may be subject to increased interest costs under certain financing agreements.
All of Pinnacle West’s bank agreements contain “cross-default” provisions that would result in defaults and the potential acceleration of payment under these loan agreements if Pinnacle West or APS were to default under other agreements. All of APS’ bank agreements contain cross-default
51
Table of Contents
provisions that would result in defaults and the potential acceleration of payment under these bank agreements if APS were to default under other agreements. Pinnacle West’s and APS’ credit agreements generally contain provisions under which the lenders could refuse to advance loans in the event of a material adverse change in financial condition or financial prospects, except that Pinnacle West and APS do not have a material adverse change restriction for revolver borrowings equal to outstanding commercial paper amounts.
See Note 4 for further discussions.
Capital Needs and Resources — By Company
Pinnacle West (Parent Company)
Our primary cash needs are for dividends to our shareholders; interest payments and optional and mandatory repayments of principal on our long-term debt. The level of our common dividends and future dividend growth will be dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, payout ratio trends, free cash flow and financial market conditions.
Our primary sources of cash are dividends from APS, external financings and cash distributions from our other subsidiaries, primarily SunCor. We expect SunCor to make cash distributions to the parent company of approximately $80 to $100 million in 2005 based on anticipated asset sales activities. As discussed in Note 5 under “ACC Financing Order,” APS must maintain a common equity ratio of at least 40% and may not pay common dividends if the payment would reduce its common equity below that threshold. As defined in the Financing Order, common equity ratio is common equity divided by common equity plus long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt. At June 30, 2005, APS’ common equity ratio as defined was approximately 48%.
Pinnacle West sponsors a qualified pension plan for the employees of Pinnacle West and our subsidiaries. We contribute at least the minimum amount required under IRS regulations, but no more than the maximum tax-deductible amount. The minimum required funding takes into consideration the value of the fund assets and our pension obligation. We contributed $35 million in 2004. APS and other subsidiaries fund their share of the pension contribution, of which APS represents approximately 92% of the total funding amounts described above. The assets in the plan are comprised of common stocks, bonds and real estate. Future year contribution amounts are dependent on fund performance and fund valuation assumptions. Our minimum required pension contribution in 2005 is approximately $53 million. Of this amount, we have contributed approximately $27 million through July 2005. The contribution to be made to other post retirement benefit plans in 2005 is estimated to be approximately $37 million. Of this amount, we contributed approximately $18 million through July 2005. APS’ share is approximately 92% of both plans.
On May 2, 2005, Pinnacle West redeemed at par all of its $165 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due November 1, 2005. The Company used cash on hand to redeem the notes.
On May 2, 2005, Pinnacle West issued 6,095,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $42 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $248 million. Pinnacle West used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including making capital contributions to APS, which, in turn, used such funds to pay a portion of the approximately $190 million purchase price to acquire the Sundance Plant and for other capital expenditures incurred to meet the growing needs of

Table of Contents
APS’ service territory.
On July 13, 2005, the Pinnacle West Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.475 per share of common stock, payable on September 1, 2005, to shareholders of record on August 1, 2005.
APS
APS’ capital requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures and optional and mandatory redemptions of long-term debt. See “ACC Financing Order” in Note 5 for a discussion of the $500 million loan from APS to Pinnacle West Energy authorized by the ACC pursuant to the Financing Order. This loan was repaid on April 11, 2005.
APS pays for its capital requirements with cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, external financings. APS has historically paid for its dividends to Pinnacle West with cash from operations. See “Pinnacle West (Parent Company)” above for a discussion of the common equity ratio that APS must maintain in order to pay dividends to Pinnacle West.
On January 15, 2005, APS repaid its $100 million 6.25% Notes due 2005. APS used cash on hand to redeem these notes.
On March 1, 2005, Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation issued $164 million of variable interest rate pollution control bonds, 2005 Series A-E, due 2029. The bonds were issued to refinance $164 million of outstanding pollution control bonds. The Series A-E bonds are payable solely from revenues obtained from APS pursuant to a loan agreement between APS and Maricopa County, Arizona Pollution Control Corporation. These bonds are classified as long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
On August 1, 2005, APS repaid $300 million of its 7.625% Notes due 2005. APS used cash on hand to repay these notes.
Although provisions in APS’ articles of incorporation and ACC financing orders establish maximum amounts of preferred stock and debt that APS may issue, APS does not expect any of these provisions to limit its ability to meet its capital requirements.
See “Deferred Purchased Power and Fuel Costs” above and “APS General Rate Case” in Note 5 for information regarding the PSA approved by the ACC.
Pinnacle West Energy
Pinnacle West Energy expects minimal capital expenditures over the next three years. See the capital expenditures table above for actual capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and projected capital expenditures for the next three years (the estimated capital expenditures related to the PWEC Dedicated Assets are reflected in APS).
53
Table of Contents
See “ACC Financing Order” in Note 5 for a discussion of the $500 million loan from APS to Pinnacle West Energy authorized by the ACC pursuant to the Financing Order. On April 11, 2005 Pinnacle West Energy issued $500 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due April 1, 2007. Pinnacle West has unconditionally guaranteed these notes. Pinnacle West Energy used the proceeds of this issuance to repay the APS loan. Pinnacle West Energy intends to repay the Floating Rate Senior Note with $500 million expected to be received from APS in connection with Pinnacle West Energy’s transfer of the PWEC Dedicated Assets to APS.
See Note 17 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above for a discussion of the pending sale of our 75% ownership interest in Silverhawk.
Other Subsidiaries
During the past three years, SunCor funded its cash requirements with cash from operations and its own external financings. SunCor’s capital needs consist primarily of capital expenditures for land development and retail and office building construction. See the capital expenditures table above for actual capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and projected capital expenditures for the next three years. SunCor expects to fund its capital requirements with cash from operations and external financings.
We expect SunCor to make cash distributions to the parent company of approximately $80 to $100 million in 2005 based on anticipated asset sales activities.
El Dorado expects minimal capital requirements over the next three years and intends to focus on prudently realizing the value of its existing investments.
APS Energy Services expects minimal capital expenditures over the next three years.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management must often make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex, and actual results could differ from those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies include the impacts of regulatory accounting and the determination of the appropriate accounting for our pension and other postretirement benefits and derivatives accounting. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies since our 2004 Form 10-K. See “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of the 2004 Form 10-K for further details about our critical accounting policies.

Customer growth in APS’ service territory averaged about 3.4% a year for the three years 2002 through 2004; we currently expect customer growth to average about 3.8% per year from 2005 to 2007. We currently estimate that total retail electricity sales in kilowatt-hours will grow 5.0% on average, from 2005 through 2007, before the effects of weather variations. Customer growth for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared with the prior year period was 4.1%.
Actual sales growth, excluding weather-related variations, may differ from our projections as a result of numerous factors, such as economic conditions, customer growth and usage patterns. Our experience indicates that a reasonable range of variation in our kilowatt-hour sales projection attributable to such economic factors can result in increases or decreases in annual net income of up to $10 million.
WeatherIn forecasting retail sales growth, we assume normal weather patterns based on historical data. Historical extreme weather variations have resulted in annual variations in net income in excess of $20 million. However, our experience indicates that the more typical variations from normal weather can result in increases or decreases in annual net income of up to $10 million.
Retail Rate MattersSee “APS General Rate Case” in Note 5 for a discussion of the ACC’s order in APS’ general rate case and “Power Supply Adjuster” for information regarding APS’ application to the ACC requesting recovery of $100 million in deferred fuel and purchased power costs under the PSA. APS expects to file another general rate case in late 2005.
Purchased Power and Fuel CostsSee “APS General Rate Case” in Note 5 for information regarding the PSA approved by the ACC. Purchased power and fuel costs are impacted by our electricity sales volumes, existing contracts for purchased power and generation fuel, our power plant performance, transmission availability or constraints, prevailing market prices, new generating plants being placed in service and our hedging program for managing such costs. See “Natural Gas Supply” in Note 12 for more information on fuel costs.
Wholesale Power Market ConditionsThe marketing and trading division focuses primarily on managing APS’ purchased power and fuel risks in connection with its costs of serving retail customer demand. The marketing and trading division, subject to specified parameters, markets, hedges and trades in electricity, fuels and emission allowances and credits. Our future earnings will be affected by the strength or weakness of the wholesale power market.
Other Factors Affecting Financial Results
Operations and Maintenance ExpensesOperations and maintenance expenses are impacted by growth, power plant additions and operations, inflation, outages, higher trending pension and other postretirement benefit costs and other factors.
Depreciation and Amortization ExpensesDepreciation and amortization expenses are impacted by net additions to utility plant and other property, which includes generation construction
55
Table of Contents
or acquisition, changes in depreciation and amortization rates (see Note 5), and changes in regulatory asset amortization. See Note 17 for information on the pending sale of Silverhawk. See Note 4 for information on APS’ acquisition of the Sundance Plant in 2005 and “Requests for Proposals” in Part II, Item 5 of this report for more information on requests for proposals to acquire additional long-term resources in 2006 and 2007.
Property TaxesTaxes other than income taxes consist primarily of property taxes, which are affected by tax rates and the value of property in-service and under construction. The average property tax rate for APS, which currently owns the majority of our property, was 9.2% of assessed value for 2004 and 9.3% for 2003. We expect property taxes to increase as new power plants, the acquisition of the Sundance Plant and our additions to transmission and distribution facilities phase-in to the property tax base.
Interest ExpenseInterest expense is affected by the amount of debt outstanding and the interest rates on that debt. The primary factors affecting borrowing levels in the next several years are expected to be our capital requirements and our internally generated cash flow. Capitalized interest offsets a portion of interest expense while capital projects are under construction. We stop accruing capitalized interest on a project when it is placed in commercial operation. We placed new power plants in commercial operation in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Interest expense is also affected by interest rates on variable-rate debt and interest rates on the refinancing of the Company’s future liquidity needs.
Retail Competition Although some very limited retail competition existed in APS’ service area in 1999 and 2000, there are currently no active retail competitors providing unbundled energy or other utility services to APS’ customers. As a result, we cannot predict when, and the extent to which, additional competitors will re-enter APS’ service territory.
SubsidiariesIn the case of SunCor, efforts to accelerate asset sales activities in 2004 were successful. A portion of these sales have been, and additional amounts may be required to be, reported as discontinued operations on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. SunCor’s net income was $45 million in 2004. See Note 17 for further discussion. We anticipate SunCor’s earnings contributions in 2005 to be approximately $50 million after income taxes.
El Dorado’s historical results are not indicative of future performance.
GeneralOur financial results may be affected by a number of broad factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements” for further information on such factors, which may cause our actual future results to differ from those we currently seek or anticipate.
Market Risks
Our operations include managing market risks related to changes in interest rates, commodity prices and investments held by our nuclear decommissioning trust fund.
56
Table of Contents
Interest Rate and Equity Risk
Our major financial market risk exposure is to changing interest rates. Changing interest rates will affect interest paid on variable-rate debt and interest earned by our nuclear decommissioning trust fund. Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use of a combination of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the commodity price and transportation costs of electricity, natural gas, coal and emissions allowances. We manage risks associated with these market fluctuations by utilizing various commodity instruments that qualify as derivatives, including exchange-traded futures and options and over-the-counter forwards, options and swaps. Our ERMC, consisting of officers and key management personnel, oversees company-wide energy risk management activities and monitors the results of marketing and trading activities to ensure compliance with our stated energy risk management and trading policies. As part of our risk management program, we use such instruments to hedge purchases and sales of electricity, fuels and emissions allowances and credits. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to price changes in the hedged commodities. In addition, subject to specified risk parameters monitored by the ERMC, we engage in marketing and trading activities intended to profit from market price movements.
The mark-to-market value of derivative instruments related to our risk management and trading activities are presented in two categories consistent with our business segments:
• | Regulated Electricity – non-trading derivative instruments that hedge our purchases and sales of electricity and fuel for APS’ Native Load requirements of our regulated electricity business segment; and | ||
• | Marketing and Trading – non-trading and trading derivative instruments of our competitive business segment. |
The following tables show the pretax changes in mark-to-market of our non-trading and trading derivative positions for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 (dollars in millions):

Credit Risk
We are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance or nonpayment by counterparties. We have risk management and trading contracts with many counterparties, including one counterparty for which a worst case exposure represents approximately 16% of Pinnacle West’s $620 million of risk management and trading assets as of June 30, 2005. See Note 1, “Derivative Accounting” in Item 8 of our 2004 Form 10-K for a discussion of our credit valuation adjustment policy. See Note 10 for further discussion of credit risk.
ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY – RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
Throughout the following explanations of our results of operations, we refer to “gross margin.” Gross margin refers to electric operating revenues less purchased power and fuel costs. Gross margin is a “non-GAAP financial measure,” as defined in accordance with SEC rules. Exhibit 99.4 reconciles this non-GAAP financial measure to operating income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. We view gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. This measure is a key component of our internal financial reporting and is used by our management in analyzing our business. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial
59
Table of Contents
measures that our management uses. In addition, we have reclassified certain prior-period amounts to conform to our current-period presentation.
Deferred Purchased Power and Fuel Costs
APS’ retail rate case settlement became effective April 1, 2005. As part of the settlement, the ACC approved a 4.2% annual retail rate increase and a PSA that provides mechanisms for adjusting rates to reflect variations in fuel and purchased power costs. In accordance with the PSA, APS defers for future rate recovery 90% of the difference between actual purchased power and fuel costs and the amount for such costs currently included in base rates. As of June 30, 2005, APS had deferred $34 million of pretax purchased power and fuel costs.
Operating Results – Three-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared with three-month period ended June 30, 2004
APS’ net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $64 million compared with $55 million for the prior-year period. The $9 million increase in the period-to-period comparison is due to a retail price increase effective April 1, 2005, higher retail sales volumes due to customer growth, the absence of regulatory asset amortization, and lower depreciation due to lower depreciation rates. These positive factors were partially offset by higher purchased power and fuel costs, net of deferred costs, in accordance with the retail rate settlement, higher operations and maintenance costs primarily related to generation, customer service, and benefit costs and lower realized margins on wholesale sales.

Regulated Electricity Revenues
Regulated electricity revenues were $58 million higher for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared with the prior-year period primarily as a result of:
• | a $28 million increase in retail revenues due to a price increase effective April 1, 2005; | ||
• | an $18 million increase in retail revenues related to customer growth, excluding weather effects; and | ||
• | a $12 million increase in Off-System Sales primarily due to sales previously reported in marketing and trading now classified as sales in regulated electricity in accordance with the retail rate settlement. |
Marketing and Trading Revenues
Marketing and trading revenues were $39 million lower for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared with the prior-year period primarily as a result of:
61
Table of Contents
• | a $25 million decrease in revenues from Off-System Sales primarily due to lower sales volumes and sales previously reported in marketing and trading now classified as sales in the regulated electricity in accordance with the retail rate settlement; | ||
• | a $15 million decrease in energy trading revenues on realized sales of electricity primarily due to lower delivered electricity prices and lower sales volumes; and | ||
• | a $1 million increase on future mark-to-market gains due to higher price volatility. |
Operating Results – Six-month period ended June 30, 2005 compared with six-month period ended June 30, 2004
APS’ net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $91 million compared with $89 million for the prior-year period. The $2 million increase in the period-to-period comparison is due to a retail price increase effective April 1, 2005, higher retail sales volumes due to customer growth, the absence of regulatory asset amortization, and lower depreciation due to lower depreciation rates. These positive factors were partially offset by higher purchased power and fuel costs, net of deferred costs, in accordance with the retail rate settlement, higher operations and maintenance costs primarily related to generation, customer service, and benefit costs, lower realized margins on wholesale sales, and higher property taxes due to increased plant in service.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) (15 U.S.C. 78aet seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to a company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Pinnacle West’s management, with the participation of Pinnacle West’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of Pinnacle West’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, Pinnacle West’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, Pinnacle West’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
APS’ management, with the participation of APS’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of APS’ disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005. Based on that evaluation, APS’ Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, APS’ disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The term “internal control over financial reporting” (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
No change in Pinnacle West’s or APS’ internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Pinnacle West’s or APS’ internal control over financial reporting.

Regulatory Matters
See Note 5 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a discussion of regulatory developments.
In connection with the FERC proceeding under which APS received approval to acquire the Sundance Plant, APS committed to an independent market monitoring plan that provides for an independent expert to monitor APS’ generation dispatch and operation of its transmission system and report to the FERC any potentially anti-competitive conduct. The plan took effect upon closing of the transaction and will continue in effect until the FERC approves a regional market monitoring plan or five years, whichever is earlier.
Environmental Matters
See “Environmental Matters — Superfund” in Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report for a discussion of a Superfund site.
Regional Haze Rules
On June 15, 2005, EPA issued the Clean Air Visibility Rule, which amends the 1999 regional haze rules by providing guidelines, known as the BART guidelines, for states to use in determining which facilities must install controls and the type of controls the facilities must use. See “Environmental Matters — Regional Haze Rules” in Part I, Item 1 of the 2004 Form 10-K. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this rule.
On August 1, 2005, the EPA proposed a rule to, among other things, revise a previously-adopted rule that would have allowed nine western states and tribes to follow a regional haze implementation plan for “Class I Areas” different from that provided for in the Clean Air Visibility Rule. See “EPA Environmental Regulation - Regional Haze Rules” in Part I, Item 1 of the 2004 Form 10-K for additional information about the previously-adopted rule. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the proposed rule.
Navajo Nation Environmental Issues
On October 16, 1995, the Four Corners participants and the Navajo Generating Station participants each filed a lawsuit in the District Court of the Navajo Nation, Window Rock District, challenging the applicability of the Navajo Nation Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act, the Navajo Nation Safe Drinking Water Act and the Navajo Nation Pesticide Act (collectively, the Navajo Acts). See “Environmental Matters — Navajo Nation Environmental Issues”, in Part I, Item 1 of the 2004 Form 10-K. On May 18, 2005, APS, Salt River Project and the Navajo Nation executed a Voluntary Compliance Agreement (“VCA”) to resolve their disputes regarding the Navajo Nation Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act for the Four Corners Power Plant and the Navajo Generating Station. The fundamental premise of the VCA is that the Navajo Nation EPA may regulate air issues for the Four Corners Power Plant only because the participants have agreed to submit to such regulation for the term of the agreement and under certain circumstances. If EPA approves the Navajo Nation’s air programs consistent with the VCA, APS would dismiss the pending litigation in the Navajo Nation Supreme Court and would dismiss the pending litigation in the Navajo Nation District Court to the extent the claims relate to the Clean Air Act. The Agreement does not address or resolve any dispute relating to the other Navajo Acts.
The Four Corners region, in which the Four Corners Plant is located, has been experiencing drought conditions. See “Water Supply” in Part I, Item 1 of the 2004 Form 10-K. APS has signed an agreement with area stakeholders to minimize the effect of the drought on the operations of the plant in 2005. The effect of the drought cannot be fully assessed at this time, and APS cannot predict the ultimate outcome, if any, of the drought or whether the drought will adversely affect the amount of power available, or the price thereof, from Four Corners.
Maricopa County Environmental Issues
During the period from November 2004 through March 2005, the Maricopa County Air Quality Department (“MCAQD”) issued a series of Notices of Violation (“NOVs”) to APS’ West Phoenix Power Plant that generally allege that the plant failed to comply with applicable permit requirements. APS is currently engaged in discussions with MCAQD concerning the NOVs. We do not expect the resolution of these matters to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regional Transmission Organizations (“RTO”)
On October 16, 2001, APS and other owners of electric transmission lines in the southwestern U.S. filed with the FERC a request for a declaratory order confirming that their proposal to form WestConnect RTO, LLC would satisfy the FERC’s requirements for the formation of an RTO. See “Regulation and Competition — Wholesale — Regional Transmission Organizations” in Part I, Item 1 of the 2004 Form 10-K. On July 1, 2005, FERC issued an order in response to a request from Bonneville Power Administration and utilities in the Northwest, regarding Grid West, a proposed regional organization for the Northwest region. In that order, FERC agreed that a regional organization for the Northwest region would not need to satisfy all of the RTO requirements established in the December 1999 order. APS is currently evaluating the impact of this order on its RTO initiative.
Federal Energy Legislation
On August 8, 2005, the President signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 into law. Due to its recent enactment and because many provisions require implementing regulations, the Company is unable to predict the impact of the Act on its operations.
Requests for Proposals
APS continually assesses its need for additional capacity resources to assure system reliability. Under the terms of the 2004 Settlement Agreement, APS committed to seek proposals from the competitive wholesale market for filling its future resource needs. The current reliability RFP identifies the amount of capacity and energy needed to reliably meet expected customer demands and sought proposals for at least 1,000 MW of new generating capacity for 2007 and beyond. Bid responses were submitted by July 18, 2005. Short-listed bidders will be notified by August 30, 2005, and winning bidders will be notified in mid-October.
APS also has in process a renewable RFP seeking at least 100 MW of renewable capacity with a capability of producing at least 250,000 MWH annually. In accordance with the terms of the 2004 Settlement Agreement, power must be deliverable to the APS transmission system and its pricing must not exceed 125% of conventional resource alternatives. A final decision, which is expected in mid-September 2005, is subject to ACC approval if an out-of-state provider is selected.
