SOUTHWEST GAS CORPORATION
NOTES TO SUMMARY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except par values)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
The financial statements have been prepared by Southwest Gas Corporation
(the Company) using the equity method of accounting for PriMerit Bank
(PriMerit). Segmented information is presented within the income
statement. The Financial Services segment includes the net income of
PriMerit and its subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, reduced by
allocated carrying costs associated with the Company's investment in
PriMerit (principally interest) net of taxes. This presentation is not
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.
The financial statement presentation in this report produces the same
net income as the consolidated financial statements and, in management's
opinion, is a fair representation of the operations and contributions to
net income of the Company's two segments.
NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT IN PRIMERIT BANK:
The capital structure supports both the investment in PriMerit and the
investment in the gas segment. Financing costs allocable to PriMerit
are determined based on the investment in PriMerit under the equity
method.
