Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
UniSource Energy Corporation:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of UniSource Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2009, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, of cash flows, of capitalization, and of changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 26, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Unaudited

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF ACCOUNTING PRESENTATION

UniSource Energy Corporation (UniSource Energy or UNS) is a holding company that has no significant operations of its own. Operations are conducted by UniSource Energy’s subsidiaries, each of which is a separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities. UniSource Energy owns the common stock of Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP), UniSource Energy Services, Inc. (UES), Millennium Energy Holdings, Inc. (Millennium) and UniSource Energy Development Company (UED).

TEP, a regulated public utility, is UniSource Energy’s largest operating subsidiary and represented approximately 81% of UniSource Energy’s assets as of June 30, 2009. TEP generates, transmits and distributes electricity to approximately 401,000 retail electric customers in a 1,155 square mile area in Southern Arizona. TEP also sells electricity to other utilities and power marketing entities primarily located in the Western U.S. In addition, TEP operates Springerville Unit 3 on behalf of Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. (Tri-State).

UES holds the common stock of UNS Gas, Inc. (UNS Gas or UNSG) and UNS Electric, Inc. (UNS Electric or UNSE). UNS Gas is a gas distribution company with 145,000 retail customers in Mohave, Yavapai, Coconino, and Navajo counties in Northern Arizona, as well as Santa Cruz County in Southeast Arizona. UNS Electric is an electric transmission and distribution company with approximately 90,000 retail customers in Mohave and Santa Cruz counties.

Millennium invests in unregulated businesses. In June 2009, Millennium sold its 50% equity interest in Carboelectrica Sabinas, S. de R.L. de C.V. See Note 14.

In May 2008, UED completed the development of the Black Mountain Generating Station (BMGS), a 90 MW gas turbine generating facility in Northern Arizona and, through a five-year power sale agreement (PPA), is providing energy to UNS Electric.

References to “we” and “our” are to UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries, collectively.

The accompanying quarterly financial statements of UniSource Energy and TEP are unaudited but reflect all normal recurring accruals and other adjustments which we believe are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. These financial statements are presented in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) interim reporting requirements which do not include all the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for audited annual financial statements. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include disclosures required by GAAP for audited annual financial statements. This quarterly report should be reviewed in conjunction with UniSource Energy and TEP’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K. UniSource Energy and TEP have evaluated all subsequent events through the financial statements’ issuance date.

Weather, among other factors, causes seasonal fluctuations in TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s sales; therefore, quarterly results are not indicative of annual operating results.

RECLASSIFICATIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

In 2006, we recorded an investment in 14.14% of Springerville Unit 1 lease equity transaction as a lease restructuring. We have subsequently determined that the transaction was best characterized as a purchase of an interest in a trust accounted using equity method accounting. As a result, TEP recorded a net increase to the income statement of $0.6 million, before tax. The net adjustment recorded in June 2009 included additional depreciation expense of $4 million; a reduction of interest expense on capital leases of $2 million; and $3 million of equity in earnings which is included in Other Income on the income statement.

In addition, TEP recorded approximately $1 million ($0.6 million after-tax) of additional depreciation for plant improvements that should have been recorded prior to 2009. TEP also recorded an after-tax gain of $1.5 million related to proceeds from a company owned life insurance policy that should have been recorded prior to 2009.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

TEP 2008 Rate Order

In the TEP 2008 Rate Order, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) granted TEP a Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause (PPFAC) which allows recovery of actual fuel and purchased power costs, including demand charges, transmission costs, and prudent settlement costs of contracts for hedging fuel and purchased power costs. UNS Electric has a similar PPFAC mechanism described in Note 2. UNS Gas has a Purchased Gas Adjuster (PGA) mechanism which allows UNS Gas to recover its actual commodity costs, including transportation. See Note 2.

To provide more information regarding the components of the PPFAC/PGA and to be comparable with the 2009 presentation, UniSource Energy and TEP made the following reclassifications to the statements of income for the quarter and the six-month period ended June 30, 2008:

	•		For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, UniSource Energy and TEP reclassified Transmission expenses of $5 million and $2 million, respectively, from Other Operations and Maintenance to Transmission, a component of Total Fuel and Purchased Energy. For the six-month period ended June 30,2008, UniSource Energy and TEP reclassified Transmission expenses of $9 million and $4 million from Other Operations and Maintenance to Transmission, a component of Total Fuel and Purchased Energy;

	•		For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, UniSource Energy and TEP reclassified capital lease expenses of $1 million from Interest on Capital Leases to Fuel. For the six-month period ended June 30,2008, UniSource Energy and TEP reclassified capital lease expenses of $2 million from Interest on Capital Leases to Fuel; and

	•		For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2008, UniSource Energy reclassified $5 million and $11 million, respectively, of over-recovered PPFAC and PGA expenses from Purchased Energy, Transmission, and Fuel to Increase (Decrease) to reflect PPFAC (or PGA) Recovery Treatment, a component of Total Fuel and Purchased Energy.

These reclassifications had no effect on Net Income.

Other Reclassifications

In addition, for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2008, UniSource Energy and TEP reclassified REST and DSM revenue of $0.5 million from Other Revenue to Electric Retail Sales. These reclassifications had no effect on Net Income.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

NOTE 2. REGULATORY MATTERS

ACCOUNTING FOR RATE REGULATION

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric generally use the same accounting policies and practices used by unregulated companies. However, sometimes regulatory accounting requires rate-regulated companies to apply special accounting treatment to show the effect of rate-regulation. For example, the ACC may not allow TEP, UNS Gas or UNS Electric to currently charge their customers to recover certain expenses, but instead may require that they charge these expenses to customers in the future. In this situation, TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric defer these items and show them as regulatory assets on the balance sheet until they are allowed to charge their customers. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric then amortize these items as expenses as they recover these charges from customers. Similarly, certain revenue items may be deferred as regulatory liabilities, which are also eventually amortized to the income statement as rates to customers are reduced.

The conditions a rate-regulated company must satisfy to apply regulatory accounting policies and practices include:

	•		an independent regulator sets rates;

	•		the regulator sets the rates to recover the specific costs of providing service; and

	•		the service territory lacks competitive pressures to reduce rates below the rates set by the regulator.

TEP 2008 Rate Order

The 2008 TEP Rate Order, issued by the ACC and effective December 1, 2008, provides for a cost of service rate methodology for TEP’s generation assets; an average base rate increase of 6% over TEP’s previous retail rates; a fuel rate included in base rates of 2.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh); a PPFAC (defined below) effective January 1, 2009; a base rate increase moratorium through January 1, 2013; and a waiver of any claims under the 1999 Settlement Agreement.

As a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP reapplied regulatory accounting to its generation operations. In addition, in December 2008, TEP began deferring its mark-to-market adjustments for derivative instruments that are expected to be recovered through the PPFAC as either regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities.

Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause (PPFAC)

The TEP PPFAC became effective January 1, 2009. The PPFAC allows recovery of fuel and purchased power costs incurred to provide service to retail customers, including demand charges, transmission costs, and the prudent costs of contracts for hedging fuel and purchased power costs. The PPFAC consists of a forward component and a true-up component.

	•		The forward component of 0.18 cents per kWh became effective on April 1, 2009, and will be updated each year. The forward component is based on the forecasted fuel and purchased power costs for the twelve-month period from April 1 to March 31 the following year, less the base cost of fuel and purchased power of approximately 2.9 cents per kWh, which is embedded in base rates.

	•		The true-up component will reconcile any over/under collected amounts from the preceding twelve-month period and will be credited to or recovered from customers in the subsequent year.

TEP credited Fixed CTC revenue to be refunded ($58 million collected from May 2008 to November 30, 2008) to customers as an offset to the PPFAC rate. This credit will offset the forward and true-up components of the PPFAC, resulting in a PPFAC charge of zero until the Fixed CTC revenue to be refunded is fully credited, which is expected to occur over the next 36 to 48 months beginning April 1, 2009.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

For the purposes of reconciling fuel and purchased power to PPFAC revenues, including the credited forward component, TEP will credit the allocable retail portion of the following against the PPFAC eligible costs: 100% of short-term wholesale revenues; 10% of the annual profit on trading activity; and 50% of the revenues from the sales of SO₂ emission allowances.

UNS GAS RATES AND REGULATION

2008 General Rate Case Filing

In November 2008, UNS Gas filed a general rate case with the ACC (on a cost of service basis) requesting a total rate increase of 6% to cover a revenue deficiency of $10 million. The case uses a June 30, 2008, test year. UNS Gas expects the ACC to rule on its rate case in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Purchased Gas Adjuster (PGA) Mechanism

UNS Gas’ retail rates include a PGA mechanism intended to address the volatility of natural gas prices and allow UNS Gas to recover its actual commodity costs, including transportation, through a price adjuster. All purchased gas commodity costs, including transportation, increase the PGA bank, a balancing account. UNS Gas recovers these costs or returns amounts over-collected from/to ratepayers through a PGA mechanism. The PGA mechanism includes the following two components:

	(1)		The PGA factor, computed monthly, is a calculation of the twelve-month rolling weighted average gas cost, and automatically adjusts monthly, subject to limitations on how much the price per therm may change in a twelve-month period. Effective December 2007, the ACC increased the annual cap on the maximum increase in the PGA factor from $0.10 per therm to $0.15 per therm in a twelve-month period.

	(2)		At any time UNS Gas’ PGA bank balance is under-recovered, UNS Gas may request a PGA surcharge with the goal of collecting the amount deferred from customers over a period deemed appropriate by the ACC. When the PGA bank balance reaches an over-collected balance of $10 million on a billed basis, UNS Gas is required to request a PGA surcredit with the goal of returning the over-collected balance to customers over a period deemed appropriate by the ACC.

In September 2007, the ACC approved a $0.04 cent per therm PGA surcredit, effective October 2007 through April 2008. Since May 2008, there has been no surcharge or surcredit in effect.

Based on current projections of gas prices, UNS Gas believes that it will recover its gas costs in a timely manner. However, changes in the market price for gas, sales volumes and surcharge amount could significantly change the PGA bank balance in the future.

UNS ELECTRIC RATES AND REGULATION

2009 General Rate Case Filing

In April 2009, UNS Electric filed a general rate case with the ACC (on a cost of service basis) requesting a total rate increase of 7.4% to cover a revenue deficiency of $13.5 million. The case uses a December 31, 2008, test year. UNS Electric expects the ACC to rule on its rate case in 2010.

Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause (PPFAC)

UNS Electric’s retail rates include a PPFAC, which allows for a separate surcharge or surcredit to the base rate for delivered purchased power to collect or return under- or over-recovered costs. Allowable PPFAC costs include fuel, purchased power (less proceeds from most wholesale sales) and transmission costs. The PPFAC approved in UNS Electric’s last rate case in May 2008, allows recovery of fuel and purchased power costs incurred to provide service to retail customers, including demand charges and the prudent costs of contracts for hedging fuel and purchased power costs.

The PPFAC mechanism has a forward component and a true-up component. The forward component of the PPFAC rate is based on the difference between forecasted fuel and purchased power costs and the base cost of fuel and purchased power included in base rates. The true-up component reconciles the previous year’s actual fuel and purchased power costs with the amounts collected through base and PPFAC rates and credits or recovers that amount to or from customers in the subsequent PPFAC year. The PPFAC rate will be updated on June 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2009.

On June 1, 2009, a PPFAC credit of approximately 1.06 cents per kWh took effect. The PPFAC rate from June 1, 2008, to May 31, 2009, was a charge of approximately 1.5 cents per kWh. Base rates of approximately 7.1 cents per kWh have been in effect since June 1, 2008. The retail rates prior to June 2008, included a charge for fuel and purchased power of approximately 7 cents per kWh (base rate recovery of 5.2 cents per kWh and a transmission surcharge of 1.8 cents per kWh).

The following table shows the balance of over-recovered purchased power costs:

FUTURE IMPLICATIONS OF DISCONTINUING REGULATORY ACCOUNTING

UniSource Energy and TEP regularly assess whether they can continue to apply regulatory accounting to operations. If they stopped applying regulatory accounting, they would write-off the related balances of their regulatory assets as an expense and would write-off their regulatory liabilities as income on their income statement. Based on the regulatory asset and liability balances, if TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric had stopped applying regulatory accounting, they would have recorded an extraordinary after-tax gain in the statements of income of $64 million, $11 million and $1 million, respectively, and an after-tax loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) of $63 million, $2 million and $2 million, respectively, at June 30, 2009. Discontinuing regulatory accounting would not affect any of the companies’ cash flows.

NOTE 3. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Based on the way we organize our operations and evaluate performance, we have three reportable segments:

	(1)		TEP, a vertically integrated electric utility business, is UniSource Energy’s largest subsidiary.

	(2)		UNSG is a regulated gas distribution utility business.

	(3)		UNSE is a regulated electric distribution utility business.

The UniSource Energy, UES and MEH holding companies, UED, and several other subsidiaries and equity investments, which are not considered reportable segments, are included in Other. Through affiliates, MEH holds investments in several unregulated energy and emerging technology companies. UED develops generating resources and performs other project development activities.

NOTE 4. DEBT, CREDIT FACILITIES AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

UNS CREDIT AGREEMENT

The UniSource Credit Agreement has a leverage ratio financial covenant which is calculated as the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), and cannot exceed a specified level. In February 2009, the leverage ratio was amended to allow additional debt to EBITDA. As of June 30, 2009, UniSource Energy was in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement.

UniSource Energy had the following balances outstanding under its credit agreement:


			Long-

On August 4, 2009, UniSource Energy had $65 million in borrowings outstanding under its revolving credit facility.

TEP CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Investments in Springerville Lease Debt

In March 2009, TEP purchased $31 million of Springerville Unit 1 lease debt which included a premium that will be amortized over the remaining term of the lease. The investment appears on the balance sheet as Investments in Lease Debt and Equity.

TEP CREDIT AGREEMENT

At June 30, 2009, TEP had $40 million in borrowings outstanding and $1 million in letters of credit issued under its revolving credit agreement. The letters of credit were issued to provide credit enhancements for energy purchase contracts and hedging activities. As of December 31, 2008, TEP had $10 million in borrowings outstanding and $1 million in letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility. On August 4, 2009, TEP had $49 million in borrowings outstanding and $1 million in letters of credit issued under its revolving credit facility. The revolving loan balances are included in Current Liabilities in the UniSource Energy and TEP balance sheets.

UED SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

In March 2009, UED entered into a 364-day, $30 million senior secured term loan facility. The loan is guaranteed by UniSource Energy and is secured by a lien of substantially all the assets of UED, including the BMGS and an assignment of UED’s PPA with UNS Electric. UED has the option of paying interest on the loan facility at LIBOR plus 3% or an alternative base rate plus 2%. The alternative base rate is the greater of federal funds plus 0.5%, the agent bank’s reference rate or one-month LIBOR plus 1%. UED paid $1 million in debt issuance costs which are being amortized over 1 year, the term of the loan. UED used the proceeds of the loan to pay a dividend of $30 million to UniSource Energy. In July 2009, UED repaid $2 million under its term loan facility.

NOTE 5. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, TRADING ACTIVITIES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

RISKS AND OVERVIEW

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric are exposed to energy price risk associated with their gas and purchased power requirements, volumetric risk associated with their seasonal load and operational risk associated with their power plants, transmission and transportation systems. The energy price risk is mitigated through the PPFAC and PGA mechanisms which provide an adjustment to TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s retail rates to recover the actual costs of purchased power, gas, transmission and transportation. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric further reduce their energy price risk through a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments. The objectives for entering into such contracts include: creating price stability for TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric; to ensure TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric can meet their load and reserve requirements; and reducing TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s exposure to price volatility that may result from delayed recovery under the PPFAC or PGA. While current procurement methodologies allow TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric to recover electric and gas procurement costs from customers, future regulatory structures could change, potentially impacting the recoverability of electric and gas procurement costs. See Note 2 for further information regarding regulatory matters.

We consider the effect of counterparty credit risk in determining the fair value of derivative instruments that are in a net asset position, after incorporating collateral posted by counterparties, and allocate the credit risk adjustment to individual contracts. We also incorporate the impact of our own credit risk, after considering collateral posted, on instruments that are in a net liability position and allocate the credit risk adjustment to all individual contracts.

Although TEP’s gains and losses on trading activities are recorded on a net basis in the income statement, we report the related cash receipts and cash payments separately in the statement of cash flows. We present cash collateral and derivative assets and liabilities, associated with the same counterparty, separately in our financial statements and we bifurcate all derivatives into their current and long-term portions on the balance sheet.

CASH FLOW HEDGES

TEP hedges the cash flow risk associated with unfavorable changes in the variable interest rates related to LIBOR on the Springerville Common Facilities Lease. TEP entered into swaps that converted approximately $30 million and $35 million of variable rate lease debt payments for the Springerville Common Facilities Lease to a fixed rate from May 2009 through July 1, 2014, and June 2006 through January 2, 2020, respectively. In addition, TEP hedges the cash flow risk associated with a six-year power supply agreement using a six-year power purchase swap agreement. TEP accounts for cash flow hedges as follows:

	•		Changes in the fair value of TEP’s interest rate swaps and TEP’s six-year power purchase swap agreement are recorded in AOCI;

	•		When TEP determines a contract is no longer effective in offsetting the changes in cash flow of a hedged item, TEP recognizes the changes in fair value in earnings. The gains and losses at that time remain in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged transaction occurs.

We formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives have been and are expected to remain highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. We discontinue hedge accounting when: (1) the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; or (4) we determine that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

MARK-TO-MARKET

•		TEP

		TEP non-trading hedges, such as forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas, short-term forward power sales contracts, or call and put options (gas collars), that did not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment or did not qualify for the normal scope exception, are considered mark-to-market transactions. TEP hedges a portion of its monthly natural gas exposure for natural gas purchased for plant fuel, gas-indexed purchased power and spot market purchases with fixed price contracts for a maximum of three years. Beginning in December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, which permits recovery in the PPFAC of hedging transactions, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability only to the extent they qualify for recovery under the PPFAC mechanism.

		TEP enters into certain energy-related derivatives for trading purposes which are forward power purchase and sale contracts entered into purely to profit from market price changes. As unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market prices of trading derivatives are not recoverable in the PPFAC, unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the income statement in Electric Wholesale Sales. The net trading activities represent a very small portion (less than 1%) of TEP’s revenue from wholesale sales.

•		UNS Electric

		As a result of the expiration, in May 2008, of the fixed price full-requirements supply agreement with PWMT, UNSE began hedging a portion of its purchased power exposure to fixed price and natural gas-indexed contracts with forward power purchases or financial gas swaps. In April 2009, UNS Electric also began using call and put options, creating price stability and reducing exposure to price volatility that may result in delayed recovery under the PPFAC.

•		UNS Gas

		UNS Gas enters into derivatives such as forward gas purchases and gas swaps, creating price stability and reducing exposure to natural gas price volatility that may result in delayed recovery under the PGA. Beginning in December 2008, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability, as the UNS Gas PGA mechanism permits the recovery of the prudent cost of hedging contracts.

NORMAL PURCHASE AND NORMAL SALE

UNS Gas, UNS Electric and TEP entered into forward energy purchase and sales contracts, including call options, to support the current load forecast and contracts entered into with a counterparty with load serving requirements or generating capacity. These contracts are not required to be marked-to-market and are accounted for on an accrual basis. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our counterparties for non-performance risk to ensure it does not impact our ability to obtain the normal scope exception.

2008 ACCOUNTING SUMMARY

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, we recorded unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments as follows:

	•		TEP’s interest rate swaps, TEP’s forward contracts to sell excess capacity, and TEP and UNS Gas’ forward gas swaps were recorded in AOCI;

	•		TEP’s non-trading hedges such as forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas, and TEP’s forward purchase and sale trading contracts were recorded in the income statement; and

	•		All other commodity contracts were reflected on the balance sheet as either regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities.

Hedging Policy

TEP and UNS Electric have policies requiring 90% of peak demand to be hedged by the fourth quarter of the year preceding the peak period. UNS Electric has a policy requiring a minimum 45% of forecasted monthly energy needs to be hedged two months prior to the beginning of each month. TEP and UNS Gas have policies requiring a target of 45% of the estimated monthly natural gas exposure should be fixed two months prior to the beginning of each month. To achieve this target, purchases of 15% of the estimated gas risk are made each year so that at the end of 3 years the 45% minimum goal is realized. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric are in compliance with these policies.

Credit Risk Adjustment

When the fair value of our derivative contracts are reflected as an asset, the counterparty owes us and this creates credit risk. We minimize our credit risk by: (1) entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties, (2) limiting our exposure to each counterparty, (3) monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties and (4) requiring collateral in accordance with the counterparty master agreements. Using a combination of market credit default swap data and historical recovery rates for bonds, we consider the impact of counterparty credit worthiness in determining the fair value of our derivatives as well as its possible effect on continued qualification for cash flow hedge accounting. At June 30, 2009, and at December 31, 2008, the impact of counterparty credit risk on the fair value of derivative asset contracts was less than $0.5 million.

We also consider the impact of our own credit risk on instruments that are in a net liability position, after deducting collateral posted, using market credit default swap data and allocating the credit risk adjustment to all individual contracts in a net liability position. At June 30, 2009, and at December 31, 2008, the impact of our own credit risk was $1 million and less than $0.5 million, respectively.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The use of contractual arrangements to manage the risks associated with changes in energy commodity prices creates credit risk exposure resulting from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric enter into contracts for the physical delivery of energy and gas which contain remedies in the event of non-performance by the supply counterparties. In addition, volatile energy prices can create significant credit exposure from energy market receivables and mark-to-market valuations.

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric have contractual agreements for their energy procurement and hedging activities that contain certain provisions that require each company to post collateral under certain circumstances. These circumstances include credit rating downgrades, or a failure to meet certain financial ratios. In the event that such credit events were to occur, TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric would have to provide certain credit enhancements in the form of cash or letters of credit to fully collateralize their exposure to these counterparties.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

The total fair value of all derivative instruments under contracts with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2009, for TEP, UNS Gas, and UNS Electric is $50 million, $21 million and $24 million, respectively. To provide credit enhancements for forward energy purchase contracts and hedging activities, TEP posted cash collateral of $9 million and $1 million in letters of credit with counterparties exposed to TEP. UNS Gas and UNS Electric each posted cash collateral of $4 million and $1 million, respectively, and UNS Electric letters of credit of $12 million. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on June 30, 2009, TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric would be required to post additional collateral to its counterparties of $41 million, $18 million and $13 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, TEP had $20 million of credit exposure to other counterparties’ creditworthiness related to its wholesale marketing and gas hedging activities, of which three counterparties individually composed greater than 10% of the total credit exposure. At June 30, 2009, UNS Gas and UNS Electric had immaterial exposure to other counterparties.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

In March 2009, UniSource Energy received a refund of $15 million on its 2008 consolidated federal tax return, filed in 2009, $10 million of which is allocable to TEP. At June 30, 2009, UniSource Energy and TEP have AMT credits, for federal tax purposes, of $48 million and $33 million, respectively. The UniSource Energy consolidated balance of the state NOL carryforward is $22 million at June 30, 2009, $17 million of which is attributable to TEP.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2009, UniSource Energy changed its method of accounting for income tax expense for interim reporting. UniSource Energy has been using the discrete method to calculate income tax expense. The discrete method requires the calculation of permanent and timing differences for each quarter as the events giving rise to the difference occur. The new method is the effective tax rate method which applies an estimated annual effective tax rate to net income before income taxes for the period to calculate income tax expense. The purpose of the change was to improve interim reporting. The discrete method is an acceptable method of calculating income taxes for the regulated utility industry; however the effective tax rate method is the preferred method under GAAP. This change has been reflected in the financial statements without restatement of prior periods.

For the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2009, the effective tax rate differed from the federal rate, primarily due to state income taxes and the effect of permanent differences. For the quarter and six-month period ended June 30, 2008, the discrete rate differs from the federal tax rate primarily due to federal and state tax credits and depreciation differences on a flow through basis.

NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

TEP COMMITMENTS

In 2009, TEP entered into the following additional, firm, non-cancelable purchase commitments from those reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K:

Certain of TEP’s purchased power contracts are at a fixed price per MWh and others are indexed to natural gas prices. The commitment amounts included in the table are based on projected market prices as of June 30, 2009.

UNS ELECTRIC COMMITMENTS

In 2009, UNS Electric entered into forward power purchase agreements through December 2010. UNS Electric estimates its minimum payments for these forward purchases to be $21 million in 2010.

UNS GAS COMMITMENTS

In 2009, UNS Gas entered into forward gas purchase agreements through April 2012. UNS Gas estimates its minimum payments for these forward purchases to be $2 million in 2009, 2010, 2011 and $1 million in 2012.

TEP CONTINGENCIES

El Paso Electric Transmission

In 2006, El Paso filed a complaint to the FERC claiming that TEP must request service under El Paso’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) in order to transmit power from Luna to TEP’s system. TEP filed a counter complaint stating that TEP has existing rights under a 1982 Tucson-El Paso Transmission Agreement and, therefore, is not required to pay for transmission service under El Paso’s OATT. On November 13, 2008, the FERC issued an order supporting TEP’s position. In December 2008, El Paso refunded to TEP $10 million paid for transmission service from Luna during the pendency of this dispute and interest of $1 million. On January 14, 2009, FERC granted El Paso’s request for a rehearing of this matter. TEP is no longer accruing for transmission service under El Paso’s OATT, however, due to rehearing, TEP deferred recognition of a reduction in transmission expense.

In December 2008, TEP filed a complaint in the United States Federal District Court against El Paso seeking a $2 million reimbursement from El Paso for transmission charges paid by TEP to PNM for transmission service in an attempt to mitigate TEP’s damages before FERC issued its decision in November 2008. In February 2009, El Paso filed a motion to dismiss TEP’s complaint, or in the alternative, requested a stay in the proceeding pending further resolution by FERC. In April 2009, TEP filed a response requesting that the court deny El Paso’s motion, followed by an El Paso response in May 2009. TEP cannot predict the timing or outcome of this lawsuit.

Claims Related to Navajo Generating Station

In June 1999, the Navajo Nation filed suit against Salt River Project, several Peabody Coal Company entities (including Peabody Western Coal Company, the coal supplier to Navajo Generating Station), Southern California Edison Company, and other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (D.C. Lawsuit). Although TEP is not a named defendant in the D.C. Lawsuit, TEP is a participant in the Navajo Generation Station. The D.C. Lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants obtained a favorable coal royalty rate of the lease agreements under which Peabody mines coal by improperly influencing the outcome of a federal administrative process pursuant to which the royalty rate was to be adjusted. The suit seeks $600 million in damages, treble damages, and 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 District Court dismissed all claims against Salt River Project. In March 2008, the District Court lifted a stay that had been in place since October 2004 and referred pending discovery related motions to a magistrate judge. In June 2009, the District Court ordered the parties to complete fact discovery by February 2010.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

In 2004, Peabody Western Coal Company (Peabody) filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Missouri against the participants at Navajo, including TEP (7.5% owner), for reimbursement of royalties and other costs arising out of the D.C. Lawsuit. In July 2008, the parties entered into a joint stipulation of dismissal of these claims which was approved by the Circuit Court. TEP cannot predict whether the lawsuit will be refiled based upon the final outcome of the D.C. Lawsuit.

Claims Related to San Juan Generating Station

San Juan Coal Company, the coal supplier to San Juan, through leases with the federal government and the State of New Mexico, owns coal interests with respect to an underground mine. Certain gas producers have oil and gas leases with the federal government, the State of New Mexico and private parties in the area of the underground mine. These gas producers allege that San Juan Coal Company’s underground coal mining operations have or will interfere with their gas production and will reduce the amount of natural gas that they would otherwise be entitled to recover. San Juan Coal Company has compensated certain gas producers for any remaining gas production from a well when it was determined that mining activity was close enough to warrant shutting down the well. These settlements, however, do not resolve all potential claims by gas producers in the underground mine area. TEP cannot estimate the impact of any future claims by these gas producers on the cost of coal at San Juan.

Environmental Reclamation at Remote Generating Stations

TEP currently pays on-going reclamation costs related to the coal mines which supply the remote generating stations, and it is probable that TEP will have to pay a portion of final reclamation costs upon mine closure. When a reasonable estimate of final reclamation costs is available, the liability is recognized as a cost of coal over the remaining term of the corresponding coal supply agreement. At June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008, TEP’s balance sheet reflected a liability of $9 million based on our estimated $17 million obligation at the expiration dates of the coal supply agreements in 2011 through 2017.

TEP’s PPFAC, as approved in the 2008 TEP Rate Order, allows TEP to pass-through most fuel costs, including final reclamation costs, to customers. Therefore, in 2008, when TEP reapplied regulatory accounting to its generation operations, TEP reclassified these costs from fuel expense to a regulatory asset. TEP will increase the regulatory asset and the liability over the remaining life of the coal supply agreements on an accrual basis, and will recover the regulatory asset through the PPFAC as final mine reclamation costs are paid to the coal suppliers.

Amounts recorded for final reclamation are subject to various assumptions, such as estimating the costs of reclamation, when final reclamation will occur, and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate to be used to discount future liabilities. As these assumptions change, TEP will prospectively adjust the expense amounts for final reclamation over the remaining coal supply agreement term. TEP does not believe that recognition of its final reclamation obligations will be material to TEP in any single year because recognition occurs over the remaining terms of its coal supply agreements.

TEP Wholesale Accounts Receivable and Allowances

TEP’s Accounts Receivable from Electric Wholesale Sales includes $16 million of receivables at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 related to sales to the California Power Exchange (CPX) and the California Independent System Operator (CISO) in 2001 and 2000. The recognized reserve balance, effectively decreasing accounts receivable, at June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008 was $14 million. There are several outstanding legal issues, complaints and lawsuits concerning the California energy crisis related to the FERC, wholesale power suppliers, Southern California Edison Company, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the CPX and the CISO. We cannot predict the outcome of these issues or lawsuits.

Tucson to Nogales Transmission Line

TEP and UNS Electric are parties to a project development agreement for the joint construction of an approximately 60-mile transmission line from Tucson to Nogales, Arizona. UNS Electric’s participation in this project was initiated in response to an order by the ACC to improve reliability to UNS Electric’s retail customers in Nogales, Arizona.

In 2002, the ACC approved the location and construction of the proposed 345-kV line along a route identified as the Western Corridor route subject to a number of conditions, including obtaining all required permits from state and federal agencies. The U.S. Forest Service subsequently identified a preference for a route identified as the Central Corridor route in the final Environmental Impact Statement for the project. TEP is considering options for the project including potential new routes. If a decision is made to pursue an alternative route, approvals will be needed from the ACC, the Department of Energy, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the International Boundary and Water Commission. As of June 30, 2009, TEP had capitalized $11 million related to the project, including $2 million of land and land rights. If TEP does not receive the required approvals or abandons the project, TEP believes there is a high likelihood of cost recovery from ratepayers for prudent and reasonably incurred costs related to the project as a consequence of the ACC’s requirement for a second transmission line serving the Nogales, Arizona area.

GUARANTEES

In the normal course of business, UniSource Energy and certain subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of certain subsidiaries. We enter into these agreements primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness of a subsidiary on a stand-alone basis. The most significant of these guarantees are:

	•		UES’ guarantee of $100 million senior unsecured notes issued by UNS Gas and $100 million senior unsecured notes issued by UNS Electric,

	•		UES’ guarantee of the $60 million UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver,

	•		UniSource Energy’s guarantee of approximately $2 million in building lease payments for UNS Gas, and

	•		UniSource Energy’s guarantee of the $30 million UED Credit Agreement.

To the extent liabilities exist under these contracts, the liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets.

We believe that the likelihood UniSource Energy or UES would be required to perform or otherwise incur any significant losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE

The fair value of a financial instrument is the market price that would be received from the sale of an asset or transfer of a liability at the measurement date. The carrying amounts of our current assets and liabilities, including Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt and amounts outstanding under our credit agreements, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items have been excluded from the table below. We use the following methods and assumptions for estimating the fair value of our financial instruments:

•		Investments in Lease Debt and Equity: TEP calculated the present value of remaining cash flows at the balance sheet date using current market rates with similar characteristics with respect to credit rating and time-to-maturity. We also incorporated the impact of counterparty credit risk using market credit default swap data.

•		Fixed Rate Long-Term Debt: UniSource Energy and TEP used quoted market prices, where available, or calculated the present value of remaining cash flows at the balance sheet date using current market rates for bonds with similar characteristics with respect to credit rating and time-to-maturity. We also incorporate the impact of our own credit risk using a credit default swap rate when determining the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt.

•		Variable Rate Long-Term Debt: TEP considers the principal amounts of variable rate debt outstanding to be reasonable estimates of their fair value. The fair value of variable rate long-term debt has also been adjusted for credit risk using a credit default swap rate.

•		UNS considers the carrying value of the MEH note receivable to approximate fair value. See Note 14.

NOTE 9. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION BENEFIT PLANS

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric maintain noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans for substantially all regular employees and certain affiliate employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s average compensation. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric fund the plans by contributing at least the minimum amount required under Internal Revenue Service regulations.

We recognize the underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The underfunded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan’s assets and the projected benefit obligation for pension plans. We recognize a regulatory asset to the extent these future costs are probable of recovery in rates.

Additionally, we provide supplemental retirement benefits to certain employees whose benefits are limited by Internal Revenue Service benefit or compensation limitations. Changes in supplemental retirement benefit obligations are recognized as a component of AOCI.

In 2009, due to a decline in asset values, TEP increased its expected pension plan contributions for 2009 from $16 million to $18 million.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

TEP provides limited health care and life insurance benefits for retirees. All regular employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for TEP or an affiliate. UNS Gas and UNS Electric provide postretirement medical benefits for current retirees and one active employee. The majority of UNS Gas and UNS Electric employees do not participate in the postretirement medical plan.

NOTE 10. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

Under the 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors may issue various types of share-based compensation, including stock options, restricted shares/units, and performance shares. The total number of shares which may be awarded under the Plan cannot exceed 2.25 million shares. As of June 30, 2009, the total number of shares awarded under the 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan was 1 million shares.

STOCK OPTIONS

In February 2009, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 248,760 stock options to officers with an exercise price of $26.11. In February 2008, the Compensation Committee granted 303,550 stock options to officers with an exercise price of $26.18.

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, vest over three years, become exercisable in one-third increments on each anniversary date of the grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the service period for the total award based on the grant date fair value of the options less estimated forfeitures. For awards granted to retirement eligible officers, compensation expense is recorded immediately. Certain stock option awards accrue dividend equivalents that are paid in cash on the earlier of the date of exercise of the underlying option or the date the option expires. Compensation expense is recognized as dividends are paid.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected terms of the stock options granted in 2009 and 2008 were estimated using historical exercise data. The risk-free rate is based on the rate available on a U.S. Treasury Strip with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option at the time of the grant. The expected volatility for each award was based on historical volatility for UniSource Energy’s stock for a period equal to the expected term of the award. The expected dividend yield on a share of stock was calculated using the historical dividend yield with the implicit assumption that current dividend yields will continue in the future.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

Restricted Stock Units

In May 2009, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 21,885 restricted stock units to non-employee directors at a weighted average fair value of $26.73 per share. In May 2008 and in February 2008, restricted stock units of 18,448 and 3,130, respectively, were granted to non-employee directors at a weighted average fair value of $31.71 per share and $28.75 per share, respectively. In the January following the year the person is no longer a Director, Common Stock shares will be issued for the vested stock units. The restricted stock units vest in one year or immediately upon death, disability, or retirement.

Performance Share Awards

In February 2009, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 62,190 performance share awards (targeted shares) to Officers at a grant date fair value, based on a Monte Carlo simulation, of $21.62 per share. The performance share awards will be paid out in shares of UniSource Energy common stock based on targeted, cumulative UniSource Energy Total Shareholder Return during the performance period of January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011 compared with Total Shareholder Return over the same period of an industry peer group.

In February 2008, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 49,120 performance share awards (targeted shares) to Officers at a grant date fair value, based on a Monte Carlo simulation, of $17.10 per share. The performance share awards will be paid out in shares of UniSource Energy Common Stock based on UniSource Energy’s performance over the performance period of January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. The performance criteria specified in the awards is determined based on targeted UniSource Energy Total Shareholder Return during the performance period compared with the Total Shareholder Return over the same period of an industry peer group.

Compensation expense for the 2009 and 2008 awards is equal to the fair value on the grant date and is recognized over the vesting period if the requisite service period is fulfilled, whether or not the threshold is achieved.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

UniSource Energy and TEP recorded compensation expense of $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. We capitalized approximately 29% of the share-based compensation costs.

At June 30, 2009, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation was $4 million which will be recorded as compensation expense over the remaining vesting periods through February 2012. The total number of shares awarded but not yet issued, including target performance based shares, under the share-based compensation plans at June 30, 2009 was 2 million.

(1)		Cash Equivalents are based on observable market prices and are comprised of the fair value of Commercial Paper and Money Market Funds.

(2)		Level 2 investments comprise amounts held in mutual and money market funds related to deferred compensation and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) benefits. The valuation is based on quoted prices, traded in active markets. These investments are included in Investments and Other Property – Other in the UniSource Energy and TEP balance sheets.

(3)		Equity Investments (UniSource Energy table only) are, in the absence of readily ascertainable market values, based on the investment partners’ valuations and comprise Millennium’s equity investment in unregulated businesses. These investments are included in Investments and Other Property – Other in the UniSource Energy balance sheet.

(4)		Collateral provided for energy contracts with counterparties to reduce credit risk exposure.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited


(5)		Energy contracts include gas swap agreements (Level 2), gas collars (Level 3), forward power purchase and sales contracts (Level 3), and forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas (Level 3), entered into to take advantage of favorable market conditions and reduce exposure to energy price risk. The valuation techniques are described below.

(6)		Interest Rate Swaps are valued based on the six-month LIBOR index.

As permitted by fair value accounting rules, we deferred the adoption of the nonrecurring fair value measurement disclosures of nonfinancial assets and liabilities, such as asset retirement obligations, until January 1, 2009. As we have no new asset retirement obligations and no remeasurement events, such as changes to the timing or amount of undiscounted cash flows expected to be paid to retire assets, we did not revise our original estimates of the fair value and therefore are not required to include asset retirement obligations in our fair value disclosures. We had no other nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Energy Contracts

TEP, UNS Gas, and UNS Electric primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full terms of the asset or liability, such as gas swap derivatives valued using New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) pricing, adjusted for basin differences, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.

Derivatives valued using an aggregate pricing service or published prices that represent a consensus reporting of multiple brokers are categorized in Level 3. For both power and gas prices, TEP and UNS Electric obtain quotes from brokers, major market participants, exchanges or industry publications as well as its own price experience from active transactions in the market. TEP and UNS Electric primarily use one set of quotations each for power and for gas, and then use the other sources as validation of those prices. The broker providing quotes for power prices states that the market information provided is indicative only, but believes it to be reflective of market conditions as of the time and date indicated. In addition, energy derivatives include contracts where published prices are not readily available. These include contracts for delivery periods during non-standard time blocks, contracts for delivery during only a few months of a given year when prices are quoted only for the annual average, or contracts for delivery at illiquid delivery points. In these cases, TEP and UNS Electric apply certain management assumptions to value such contracts. These assumptions include applying historical price curve relationships to calendar year quotes, applying percentage multipliers to value non-standard time blocks, including the impact of counterparty credit risk, using current and historical default and recovery rates, our own credit risk, using credit default swap data, and including adjustments for transmission and line losses to value contracts at illiquid delivery points. TEP and UNS Electric review these assumptions on a quarterly basis.

The fair value of TEP’s and UNS Electric’s gas collars is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model which takes into account inputs such as contract terms, including maturity, and market parameters, including assumptions of the future prices of energy, interest rates, volatility, credit worthiness and credit spread. The fair value of TEP’s purchase power call option is estimated using an internal pricing model which includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility, and contract valuation. TEP’s model also considers credit and non-performance risk. UniSource Energy and TEP’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Losses on mark-to-market contracts include the reclassification of realized gains and losses on the settlement of derivative contracts. All of the Level 3 unrealized gains and losses are attributable to the change in fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities held at the reporting date.

There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 derivatives.

NOTE 12. UNISOURCE ENERGY EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the diluted EPS calculation includes the impact of shares that could be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options, contingently issuable shares under equity-based awards or common shares that would result from the conversion of convertible notes. The numerator in calculating diluted earnings per share is Net Income adjusted for the interest on convertible notes (net of tax) that would not be paid if the notes were converted to common shares.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, 4 million potentially dilutive shares from the conversion of convertible senior notes, and after-tax interest expense of $1 million and $2 million, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

The following table shows the number of stock options to purchase shares of Common Stock excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the stock option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock:

NOTE 14. SALE OF MILLENNIUM’S INVESTMENT IN SABINAS

In June 2009, Millennium finalized a sale of its 50% equity interest in Carboelectrica Sabinas, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Sabinas), a Mexican limited liability company. Millennium received an upfront payment of $5 million in January 2009 and a $15 million, three-year, 6%, secured note receivable from Minerales de Monclova, S.A. de C.V. (Mimosa). Principal on the note is due at maturity; interest on the note is due annually on December 31. The $15 million note is included in Investments and Other Property – Other on UniSource Energy’s balance sheet. Millennium recorded a $6 million pre-tax gain on the sale included in Other Income on UniSource Energy’s income statement.

NOTE 15. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

UniSource Energy and TEP adopted the following recently issued accounting standards:

	•		FAS 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment to FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, issued March 2008, requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activity. The standard requires that the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk so that the reader understands the risks that the entity is intending to manage through the use of the derivative instruments. The standard also requires disclosure of the location in the financial statements of derivative balances as well as the location of gains and losses incurred during the reporting period. See Note 5.

	•		EITF 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations, issued November 2008, requires an entity to apply the cost accumulation model when determining the carrying value of an equity investment. Share issuances by the investee should be accounted for as if the equity investee had sold a proportionate share of its investment with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. In addition, the EITF requires that impairment testing be performed at an overall investment level. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

	•		FAS 165, Subsequent Events, issued May 2009, established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The standard applies to reporting periods starting second quarter 2009 and the relevant disclosure is included in Note 1.

	•		FSP FAS 107-1, and APB 28-1 Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, issued April 2009, expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments not measured at fair value to interim periods. The pronouncement requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. We have adopted the requirements of this pronouncement. See Note 8.

The following recently issued accounting standards are not yet reflected in the UniSource Energy and TEP financial statements:

	•		FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, issued in December 2008, amends Statement 132(R)-1 to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. We will adopt the requirements of this pronouncement in our 2009 Form 10-K.

	•		FAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125, issued June 2009, improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. We are assessing the impact of this pronouncement, which will be applicable for our 2009 10-K.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) – Unaudited

	•		FAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51, issued June 2009, amends Interpretation 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. We are assessing the impact of this pronouncement, which will be applicable to us for 2010.

	•		FAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FAS 162, issued June 2009, establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This statement is effective for financial statements issued in the third quarter 2009.

NOTE 17. REVIEW BY INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The UniSource Energy and TEP condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2009, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 2008, have been reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm. Their reports (dated August 5, 2009) are included on pages 1 and 2. The reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP state that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their reports on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Act) for their reports on the unaudited financial information because neither of those reports is a “report” or a “part” of the registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.


ITEM 2. —		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis explains the results of operations, the general financial condition, and the outlook for UniSource Energy and its three primary business segments and includes the following:

•

outlook and strategies;

•

operating results during the second quarter and six-months ended June 30, 2009 compared with the same periods in 2008;

•

factors which affect our results and outlook;

•

dividends; and

•

critical accounting estimates.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with UniSource Energy and TEP’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and with the Comparative Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, beginning on page 3, which present the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Management’s Discussion and Analysis explains the differences between periods for specific line items of the Comparative Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

References in this report to “we” and “our” are to UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries, collectively.

UNISOURCE ENERGY CONSOLIDATED

OVERVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED BUSINESS

UniSource Energy is a holding company that has no significant operations of its own. Operations are conducted by UniSource Energy’s subsidiaries, each of which is a separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities. UniSource Energy owns the outstanding common stock of TEP, UniSource Energy Services, Inc. (UES), UniSource Energy Development Company (UED) and Millennium Energy Holdings, Inc. (Millennium).

TEP, an electric utility, has provided electric service to the community of Tucson, Arizona, for over 100 years. UES was established in 2003, when it acquired the Arizona gas and electric properties from Citizens. UES, through its two operating subsidiaries, UNS Gas, Inc. (UNS Gas) and UNS Electric, Inc. (UNS Electric), provides gas and electric service to 30 communities in Northern and Southern Arizona. UED developed and owns the Black Mountain Generating Station (BMGS), a 90 MW natural gas-fired peaking facility in Northern Arizona that, through a power sales agreement, is providing energy to UNS Electric. Millennium has existing investments in unregulated businesses; however no new investments are planned at Millennium. At June 30, 2009, the investment in Millennium represented 1% of UniSource Energy’s total assets. We conduct our business in three primary business segments — TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGIES

Our financial prospects and outlook for the next few years will be affected by many factors including: the 2008 TEP Rate Order that freezes base rates through 2012, the recent national and regional economic downturn, the financial market disruptions and volatility, potential regulations impacting greenhouse gas emissions and other regulatory factors. Our plans and strategies include the following:

•

Maintain and enhance TEP’s system reliability and safety while operating under a base rate freeze through 2012;

•

Maintain an appropriate cost structure while operating under a base rate freeze through 2012;

•

Ensure UniSource Energy continues to have adequate liquidity by maintaining sufficient lines of credit and regularly reviewing and adjusting UniSource Energy’s short-term investment strategies in response to market conditions;

•

Expand TEP and UNS Electric’s portfolio of renewable energy sources and demand side management programs to meet Arizona’s renewable energy standards;

•

Enhance the value of TEP’s transmission system while continuing to provide reliable access to generation for TEP and UNS Electric’s retail customers and market access for all generating assets;

•

Obtain ACC approval of rate increases for UNS Gas and UNS Electric to provide adequate revenues to cover the rising cost of providing reliable and safe service to their customers; and

•

Develop strategic responses to potential new legislation on carbon emissions and define steps to achieve environmental objectives that provide an appropriate return on investment and are consistent with earnings growth.

Economic Conditions

As a result of general economic conditions, retail customer growth and energy sales to all classes of customers at UniSource Energy’s utility subsidiaries are below the average levels experienced in prior periods. UniSource Energy’s future results of operations may continue to be impacted by weak economic conditions. While we cannot predict if customer growth will return to historic levels, we expect combined customer growth to average approximately 0.5% per year during the next 18 months. Despite the weak economic conditions, we did not experience a material increase in uncollectible accounts at TEP, UNS Gas or UNS Electric in the last 12 months.

To date, UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries have not been materially impacted by volatility and disruptions in the financial markets. Our banking relationships remain stable. UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries have access to $280 million of revolving credit facilities, of which $153 million was unused as of July 31, 2009, which we believe is sufficient to meet current operating, capital and financing needs. UniSource Energy, TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric have not experienced, nor do they expect to experience, any difficulties obtaining funding under their respective revolving credit facilities. None of these credit facilities have any bankrupt financial institutions as lenders, and no lenders in the bank groups have refused to fund when requested.

As of July 31, 2009, TEP, UNS Electric and UNS Gas did not have any material power or gas trading exposure to financially distressed counterparties. We cannot predict whether in the future our financial condition or results of operations will be impacted by current economic conditions or liquidity concerns in the financial markets.

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric maintain noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans for substantially all regular employees and certain affiliate employees. The pension assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of domestic and international equity securities, fixed income securities, real estate and alternative investments. As of June 30, 2009, the total value of the pension assets was approximately $149 million, compared with $135 million as of December 31, 2008. Our projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2008 was $230 million. Due to the decline in the total asset value of the plans during 2008, 2009 funding requirements are expected to be $19 million, compared with the $10 million annual contribution that was funded in 2008.

For a further discussion of economic conditions and their impact on UniSource Energy, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations, UniSource Energy Consolidated — Economic Conditions in UniSource Energy and TEP’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Environmental Matters

UniSource Energy’s utility subsidiaries are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations affecting present and future operations, including regulations regarding air emissions, water quality, wastewater discharges, solid waste and hazardous waste.

These laws and regulations can result in increased capital, operating and other costs, particularly with regard to enforcement efforts focused on existing power plants and compliance plans with regard to new and existing power plants. There are proposals and ongoing studies at the state, federal and international levels to address global climate change that could result in the regulation of CO₂ and other greenhouse gases. There are federal strategic initiatives underway addressing renewable energy and energy efficiency standards. The cost impact of legislation or regulation to address these initiatives depends on the specific legislation or regulation enacted and cannot be determined at this time although such costs could be substantial due to TEP’s use of coal as the primary fuel for generation. We would seek rate relief in the event of the imposition of a federal carbon tax or related federal carbon regulations.

For other environmental matters related to TEP, see Item 5. Other Information, Environmental Matters, below.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Overview

2009 compared with 2008

We expect UniSource Energy’s net income and results from operations to improve in 2009 compared with 2008 due primarily to the following reasons:

	•		A 6% base rate increase that was effective December 1, 2008 for TEP’s customers and the implementation of a purchased power and fuel adjustment clause (PPFAC) at TEP beginning January 1, 2009. The base rate increase should generate approximately $50 million of additional revenue based on 2008 retail kWh sales levels, while the PPFAC allows TEP to pass through the actual cost of fuel and purchased power costs to retail customers. Through the first six months of 2009, TEP’s retail kWh sales were 3.3% below kWh sales levels during the same period of 2008. If sales volumes continue to lag behind 2008 levels during the second half the year, the additional revenue generated from the base rate increase could be less than $50 million. As a result of the PPFAC, relative to prior periods, TEP’s net income should not be as sensitive to changes in fuel and purchased power costs or revenues from short-term wholesale sales which are an off-set to the recoverable PPFAC costs;

	•		No amortization expense related to TEP’s Transition Recovery Asset (TRA) will be recorded in 2009 since that asset became fully amortized in May 2008. In 2008, TEP recorded TRA amortization of $24 million; and

	•		TEP will not defer recognition of any revenues subject to refund during 2009. During 2008, TEP deferred $58 million of revenue to be refunded.

These factors will be partially offset by:

	•		Higher operating costs due to increases in general O&M costs, pension-related expenses and planned generating plant maintenance; and

	•		An increase in depreciation and amortization expense caused by an increase in plant in service, and the effects of the December 2008 TEP rate order that increased depreciation rates on certain assets and amortization expense related to certain regulatory assets.

Seasonality of Utility Operations

The net income and results of operations of UniSource Energy’s utility businesses are seasonal in nature. TEP and UNS Electric are summer-peaking utilities and historically have recorded a majority of their net income during the second and third quarters, when hot weather drives increases in energy consumption. Energy demand from UNS Gas customers typically peaks during the winter, and that company records the majority of its net income during the first and fourth quarters.

TEP’s new rates, which include higher charges for higher levels of energy use, are expected to shift an even greater share of our earnings to summer peak periods. Moreover, our earnings will no longer benefit from the sale of excess energy during periods of lower consumption, including the first and fourth quarters, since that wholesale revenue is now credited against charges included in the new PPFAC.

Second Quarter of 2009 Compared with the Second Quarter of 2008

UniSource Energy reported net income of $31 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with net income of $5 million in the second quarter of 2008.

The increase in UniSource Energy’s net income in the second quarter of 2009 is due primarily to: no provision for rate refunds recorded by TEP in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $15 million in the same period last year; an increase in retail revenues from the 6% average base rate increase that took effect at TEP in December 2008; the PPFAC that allows TEP to collect actual fuel and purchased power costs from retail customers; no TRA amortization expense recorded by TEP in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $7 million in the second quarter of 2008; and a $6 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of an investment by Millennium. See Tucson Electric Power Company, and Other Non-Reportable Business Segments, Results of Operations, below.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared with the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008

UniSource Energy reported net income of $36 million for the first six months of 2009 compared with net income of $2 million in the same period last year.

The increase in UniSource Energy’s net income in the first six months of 2009 is due primarily to: the base rate increase and PPFAC at TEP; no TRA amortization expense recorded by TEP in the first six months of 2009 compared with $24 million in the same period last year; no provision for rate refunds recorded by TEP in the first six months of 2009 compared with $15 million in the same period last year; and a $6 million pre-tax gain related to the sale of an investment by Millennium. See Tucson Electric Power Company, and Other Non-Reportable Business Segments, Results of Operations, below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

UniSource Energy Consolidated Cash Flows

UniSource Energy’s consolidated cash flows are provided primarily from retail and wholesale energy sales at TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric, net of the related payments for fuel and purchased power. Generally, cash from operations is lowest in the first quarter and highest in the third quarter due to TEP’s summer peaking load. Cash used for investing activities is primarily a result of capital expenditures at TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric. Cash used for financing activities can fluctuate year-to-year depending on: repayments and borrowings under revolving credit facilities; debt issuances or retirements; capital lease payments by TEP; and dividends paid by UniSource Energy to its shareholders.

Liquidity

The primary source of liquidity for UniSource Energy, the parent company, is dividends from its subsidiaries, primarily TEP. Also, under UniSource Energy’s tax sharing agreement, subsidiaries make income tax payments to UniSource Energy, which makes payments on behalf of the consolidated group. The table below provides a summary of the liquidity position of UniSource Energy on a stand-alone basis and for each of its segments.

Short-term Investments

UniSource Energy has a short-term investment policy which governs the investment of excess cash balances by UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries. We review this policy periodically in response to market conditions to adjust, if necessary, the maturities and concentrations by investment type and issuer in the investment portfolio. As of June 30, 2009, UniSource Energy’s short-term investments consisted of highly-rated and liquid money market funds and commercial paper. These short-term investments are classified as Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Balance Sheet.

Access to Revolving Credit Facilities

UniSource Energy, TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric are each party to a revolving credit agreement with a group of lenders, which is available to be used for working capital purposes. Each of these agreements is a committed facility and expires in August 2011. The TEP and UNS Gas/UNS Electric credit agreements may be used for revolving borrowings, as well as to issue letters of credit. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric each issue letters of credit from time to time to provide credit enhancement to counterparties for their power or gas procurement and hedging activities. The UniSource Energy Credit Agreement may be used only for revolver borrowings.

UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries believe that they have sufficient liquidity under their revolving credit facilities to meet their short-term working capital needs and to provide credit enhancement as may be required under their respective energy procurement and hedging agreements.

Liquidity Outlook

Neither UniSource Energy nor any of its subsidiaries have any long-term debt maturities until 2011 when $50 million of unsecured notes mature at UNS Gas. The UniSource Energy and TEP Credit Agreements and the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver also expire in 2011. The 364-day UED $30 million term loan facility is due in March 2010. UniSource Energy is required to make principal payments on an amortizing term loan, totaling $6 million per year. See UniSource Energy Credit Agreement, below.

Financing Activities		31			177

Operating Activities

In the first six months of 2009, net cash flows from operating activities were $26 million higher than the same period last year due to: base rate increases at TEP and UNS Electric; lower costs of fuel and purchased energy; lower interest paid on capital leases and long-term debt; and lower income taxes paid.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $105 million lower in the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008 due to: a $133 million deposit made by TEP last year with the trustee for bonds that matured on August 1, 2008; and a $12 million decrease in capital expenditures in 2009; partially offset by a $31 million investment made by TEP this year to purchase Springerville lease debt in 2009.

UniSource Energy Consolidated	$	178	$	294

Financing Activities

Net cash flows from financing activities were $146 million lower in the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period last year due primarily to a $191 million reduction in proceeds from the issuance of debt. In 2008, TEP received proceeds of $221 million related to a long-term debt issuance, compared with proceeds of $30 million received by UED in March of 2009 under a 364-day loan. In the first six months of 2009, TEP’s payments for capital lease obligations were $48 million less than the same period last year.

UniSource Energy Credit Agreement

The UniSource Credit Agreement consists of a $30 million amortizing term loan facility and a $70 million revolving credit facility that matures in August 2011. Principal payments of $1.5 million on the outstanding term loan are due quarterly, with the balance due at maturity. At June 30, 2009, there was $12 million outstanding under the term loan facility and $57 million outstanding under the UniSource Energy revolving credit facility at a weighted average interest rate of 1.57%. We have alternative interest calculation options on the term loan and on borrowings under the revolving credit facility. We have the option of paying interest at adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25% or the sum of (i) the greater of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (b) the agent bank’s reference rate and (ii) 0.25%.

The UniSource Credit Agreement restricts additional indebtedness, liens, mergers, sales of assets, and certain investments and acquisitions. We must also meet: (1) a minimum cash flow to debt service coverage ratio for UniSource Energy on a standalone basis and (2) a maximum leverage ratio on a consolidated basis. We may pay dividends if, after giving effect to the dividend payment, we have more than $15 million of unrestricted cash and unused revolving credit.

In September 2008 and February 2009, as a result of higher than expected fuel and purchased power costs, UniSource Energy amended its credit agreements to provide more flexibility to meet the required leverage ratio. Although fuel and purchase power expenses have decreased in recent months, current economic conditions could result in lower customer growth rates and lower sales, thus impacting our ability to comply with these covenants.

As of June 30, 2009, we were in compliance with the terms of the UniSource Credit Agreement.

If an event of default occurs, the UniSource Credit Agreement may become immediately due and payable. An event of default includes failure to make required payments under the UniSource Credit Agreement, failure of UniSource Energy or certain subsidiaries to make payments or default on debt greater than $20 million, or certain bankruptcy events at UniSource Energy or certain subsidiaries.

Interest Rate Risk

UniSource Energy is subject to interest rate risk resulting from changes in interest rates on its borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The interest paid on revolving credit borrowings is variable. Given the recent volatility in LIBOR and other benchmark interest rates, UniSource Energy may be required to pay higher rates of interest on borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Convertible Senior Notes

UniSource Energy has outstanding $150 million of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2035. Each $1,000 of Convertible Senior Notes is convertible into 27.246 shares of our Common Stock at any time, representing a conversion price of approximately $36.70 per share of our Common Stock, subject to adjustments. The closing price of UniSource Energy’s Common Stock was $27.60 on July 31, 2009.

Capital Contributions

In March 2009, UED used loan proceeds to distribute $30 million to UniSource Energy. UniSource Energy used the proceeds to contribute $30 million of capital to TEP. TEP used the proceeds to purchase lease debt related to Springerville Unit 1. See Other Non-Reportable Business Segments, UED, and Tucson Electric Power Company, Liquidity and Capital Resources, below for more information.

Guarantees

•

UES’ guarantee of $100 million senior unsecured notes issued by UNS Gas and $100 million senior unsecured notes issued by UNS Electric;

•

UES’ guarantee of the $60 million UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver;

•

UniSource Energy’s guarantee of approximately $2 million in building lease payments for UNS Gas; and

•

UniSource Energy’s guarantee of the $30 million UED Credit Agreement.

To the extent liabilities exist under the contracts subject to these guarantees, such liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheets.

We believe that the likelihood that UniSource Energy or UES would be required to perform or otherwise incur any significant losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes in our contractual obligations or other commercial commitments from those reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the following entered into in 2009:

These amounts will reduce future tax payments, but will have no income statement impact.

TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Executive Summary

TEP recorded net income of $27 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with net income of $6 million in the same period in 2008. For the first six months of 2009, TEP recorded net income of $26 million compared with a net loss of $3 million in the same period last year. The improvement in net income during the second quarter and first six months of 2009 is due primarily to: the elimination of TRA amortization expense that was incurred in 2008; no provision for rate refunds recorded in 2009; the average base rate increase of 6% that went into effect in December 2008; and the recovery of actual fuel and purchased power costs from retail customers.

Beginning on January 1, 2009, TEP implemented a PPFAC. The PPFAC allows recovery of actual fuel and purchased power costs from TEP’s retail customers. The fuel and purchased power costs are off-set by the following, which are credited to the PPFAC: 100% of short-term wholesale revenues, 10% of the profit on trading activity and 50% of the revenues from the sale of SO₂ emission allowances. As a result of the PPFAC, relative to prior periods, TEP’s net income should not be as sensitive to changes in fuel and purchased power costs or revenues from short-term wholesale sales.

The financial condition and results of operations of TEP are currently the principal factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of UniSource Energy on an annual basis. The following discussion relates to TEP’s utility operations, unless otherwise noted.

Second Quarter of 2009 Compared with the Second Quarter of 2008

The following factors contributed to the change in TEP’s net income:

•

a $15 million increase in retail revenues due primarily to the base rate increase that took effect in December 2008 and the PPFAC that became effective in January 2009;

•

a provision for rate refunds of $15 million recorded in the second quarter of 2008;

•

a $3 million decrease in long-term wholesale revenues due primarily to lower kWh sales to Salt River Project (SRP) and Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA);

•

an $8 million decrease in total fuel and purchased energy expense, net of short-term wholesale revenues, due to lower generating output and a decline in the market price of wholesale power and natural gas;

•

an $8 million increase in O&M expense due primarily to: a $3 million increase related to maintenance outages at TEP’s jointly-owned generating plants and a $3 million increase in pension expense;

•

an $11 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to: additions to plant in service; new depreciation rates for generation assets; amortization of regulatory assets resulting from the 2008 TEP Rate Order; and a $4 million adjustment related to a change in accounting for TEP’s investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity;

•

a $7 million decrease in the amortization of TEP’s TRA. In May 2008, the TRA was fully amortized;

•

a $7 million increase in total other income due to interest income related to an income tax refund; and a $3 million adjustment related to a change in accounting for TEP’s investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity; and

•

a $4 million decrease in total interest expense resulting from lower interest rates on variable rate long-term debt, lower interest on capital leases; and a $2 million adjustment related to a change in accounting for TEP’s investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity.

In June 2009, TEP adjusted its accounting for a 2006 investment in 14.14% of Springerville Unit 1 lease equity. As a result, TEP recorded a net increase to the income statement of $0.6 million, before tax. The adjustment recorded in June 2009 for the period from July 2006 through June 2009 included additional depreciation expense of $4 million; a reduction of interest expense on capital leases of $2 million; and $3 million of equity in earnings which is included in Other Income on the income statement.

In the second quarters of 2009 and 2008, the net pre-tax benefit recognized by TEP related to Springerville Units 3 and 4 for operating fees and contributions toward common facility costs was $3 million.

Six Months Ended June 30 of 2009 Compared with the same period of 2008

The following factors contributed to the change in TEP’s net income:

•

a $10 million increase in retail revenues due primarily to the base rate increase that took effect in December 2008 and the PPFAC that became effective in January 2009;

•

a provision for rate refunds of $15 million recorded in the second quarter of 2008;

•

a $4 million decrease in long-term wholesale revenues due primarily to lower kWh sales to SRP and NTUA;

•

a $24 million decrease in total fuel and purchased energy expense, net of short-term wholesale revenues, due to lower generating output and a decline in the market price of wholesale power and natural gas;

•

a $24 million increase in O&M expense due in part to: higher planned power plant maintenance costs of $12 million; a $6 million increase in pension expense; and a $3 million increase in expenses related to renewable energy and energy efficiency programs that are offset by revenues collected from customers.

•

a $15 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense due to: additions to plant in service; new depreciation rates for generation assets; amortization of regulatory assets resulting from the 2008 TEP Rate Order; and a $4 million adjustment related to a change in accounting for TEP’s investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity ;

•

a $24 million decrease in the amortization of TEP’s TRA. In May 2008, the TRA was fully amortized;

•

a $5 million increase in total other income due to interest income related to an income tax refund; and a $3 million adjustment related to a change in accounting for TEP’s investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity; and

•

a $7 million decrease in total interest expense resulting from expense resulting from lower interest rates on variable rate long-term debt, lower interest on capital leases; and a $2 million adjustment related to a change in accounting for TEP’s investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease equity.

In the first six months of 2009 and 2008, the net pre-tax benefit recognized by TEP related to Springerville Units 3 and 4 for operating fees and contributions toward common facility costs was $6 million.

Utility Sales and Revenues

Economic conditions, customer growth, weather and other consumption factors affect retail sales of electricity. Electric wholesale revenues are affected by market prices in the wholesale energy market, regional demand for energy and the availability of TEP generating resources.

The table below provides trend information on retail kWh sales and revenues by major customer class and electric wholesale sales made by TEP during the second quarters of 2009 and 2008, as well as weather data for TEP’s service territory.

TEP Retail Rates

On December 1, 2008, TEP implemented a retail base rate increase averaging 6%. On an annual basis, the average base rate is approximately 8.9 cents per kWh and includes approximately 2.9 cents per kWh for fuel and purchased power expense. TEP also recovers fuel and purchased power costs through the PPFAC. See 2008 TEP Rate Order below for more information. Changes in retail revenues may not correspond to changes in kWh sales due to the base rate increase and changes in retail rate design implemented in December 2008.

Residential and Commercial

Residential kWh sales increased by 0.5% in the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period last year. Residential revenues increased $5 million or 6.2% during the same period. TEP’s service territory experienced an unusually mild June, as cooling degree days were 25% below the 10-year average for the month of June. The mild June was partially offset by a warmer than normal May.

Commercial kWh sales were 3.7% below the second quarter of 2008, while commercial revenues increased 4.4%. The decrease in commercial kWh sales was driven primarily by economic conditions. Revenues from commercial kWh sales were higher as a result of the base rate increase that became effective in December 2008.

Industrial, Mining and Public Authority

Sales volumes to industrial, mining and public authority customers decreased by a combined 3.4% in the second quarter of 2009 due primarily to the weak economy. Associated revenues increased by $4 million or 5.4% compared with the second quarter of 2008.

Retail Margin Revenues

The table below provides a summary of the margin revenues (revenues excluding base fuel charges included in retail rates, PPFAC and REST and DSM charges) on TEP’s retail sales for the first three months of 2009. Comparable data is not available for 2008 since TEP’s new rate structure went into effect in December 2008.

TEP believes that Retail Margin Revenues provides useful information to investors as a measure of TEP’s ability to pay for operating expenses with retail revenues, after giving effect to related fuel and purchased power expenses.

Long-Term Wholesale Revenues

Revenues from long-term wholesale contracts decreased by $3 million in second quarter of 2009 compared with last year primarily due to lower sales volumes to the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority (NTUA). In 2009, the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority received a greater allotment of federal hydro power as hydro conditions in the Colorado River basin have been above normal. In addition, low gas prices made it more economic for one of their major customers to self-generate than to purchase power from NTUA. These factors led NTUA to purchase 50% less energy under its agreement with TEP compared with the second quarter of last year. The gross margin (long-term wholesale revenues less the cost of energy, which is based on TEP’s average fuel and purchased power costs) on TEP’s long-term wholesale sales during the second quarter of 2009 was $4 million.

Short-Term Wholesale and Trading Revenues

All of the revenues from short-term wholesale sales and 10% of the profits from wholesale trading activity are credited to fuel and purchased power costs eligible for recovery in the PPFAC. See Operating Expenses, Fuel and Purchased Power Expense, and 2008 TEP Rate Order, Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause, below for more information.

Residential and Commercial

Residential kWh sales decreased by 2.4% in the first six months of 2009 due primarily to a weak economy and mild weather, while residential revenues increased $5 million or 3.1% during the same period. Heating degree days in the first three months of 2009 were 20% below the 10-year average, while cooling degree days in the second quarter of 2009 were 0.7% below the 10-year average.

Commercial kWh sales were 3.3% below the first six months of 2008, while commercial revenues increased 0.7%. The decrease in commercial kWh sales was driven primarily by weak economic conditions. Revenues from commercial kWh sales increased by $1 million as a result of the base rate increase that became effective in December 2008.

Industrial, Mining and Public Authorities

Sales volumes to industrial, mining and public authority customers decreased by a combined 4.1% in the first six months of 2009 due primarily to the weak economy. Associated revenues were flat compared with the same period last year.

Retail Margin Revenues

The table below provides a summary of the margin revenues (retail revenues excluding base fuel, PPFAC and REST and DSM charges) on TEP’s retail sales for the first six months of 2009. Comparable data is not available for 2008 since TEP’s new rate structure went into effect in December 2008.

PPFAC

TEP’s PPFAC became effective on January 1, 2009. The PPFAC allows recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, including demand charges, transmission costs and prudent costs for hedging fuel and purchased power costs. See 2008 TEP Rate Order, Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause, below for more information.

Energy Resources

In the second quarter and first six months of 2009, coal-fired generation decreased by 23% and 20%, respectively, due to lower retail energy demand and the switching of fuel at Sundt 4 from coal to natural gas. The lower generating output led to decreases in coal-related fuel expense of $12 million and $25 million in the second quarter and first six months of 2009, respectively.

Wholesale market prices for power were lower during the first six months of 2009 compared with last year, making it more economic for TEP to purchase power rather than run its own gas-fired generation. As a result, purchased power volumes increased 5% during the second quarter of 2009 and 21% during the first six months of 2009. Gas-fired generation increased during the second quarter of 2009 due to the switching of fuel at Sundt 4; however, during the first six months of 2009, gas-fired generation decreased by 6% compared with the same period last year.

Market Prices

As a participant in the Western U.S. wholesale power markets, TEP is directly and indirectly affected by changes in market conditions. The average market price for around-the-clock energy based on the Dow Jones Palo Verde Index was 68% lower in the second quarter and 61% lower in the first six months of 2009 compared with the same periods last year. The average price for natural gas based on the Permian Index was 71% lower during the second quarter of 2009 compared with the second quarter of 2008 and 62% lower during the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period last year. We cannot predict whether changes in various factors that influence demand and supply will cause prices to change for the remainder of 2009.

Other Operating Expenses

TRA Amortization

TEP did not record any TRA amortization in the second quarter or first six months of 2009, as the TRA balance was amortized to zero in May 2008. TRA amortization was $7 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $24 million in the first six months of 2008. Amortization of the TRA was the result of the 1999 Settlement Agreement with the ACC, which changed the accounting method for TEP’s generation operations. This item reflected the recovery, through 2008, of transition recovery assets which were previously regulatory assets of the generation business.

O&M

The table below summarizes the items included in TEP’s O&M expense.

Total O&M	$	69	$	61	$	144	$	120


⁽¹⁾		Represents expenses related to TEP’s customer-funded renewable energy programs; the offsetting funds collected from customers are recorded in retail revenue.

The increase in Other O&M expense during the second quarter and first six months of 2009, excluding reimbursed expenses and expenses related to renewable energy and DSM programs, is due primarily to higher pension expense and an increase in planned maintenance expense on TEP’s generating units compared with the same periods last year. As a result of the weak economy and lower customer growth rates, TEP is taking steps to reduce the level of O&M increases compared with 2008.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2008 TEP Rate Order

Base Rate Increase

TEP received a base rate increase, effective December 1, 2008, of approximately 6% over its previous average retail rate of 8.4 cents per kWh. The average base rate is 8.9 cents per kWh and includes approximately 2.9 cents per kWh for fuel and purchased power costs.

Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause

The PPFAC became effective starting January 1, 2009. The PPFAC allows recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, including demand charges, transmission costs and the prudent costs of contracts for hedging fuel and purchased power costs. The PPFAC consists of a forward component and a true-up component.

•

The forward component was established as of April 1, 2009 and will be updated on April 1 of each year. The forward component is based on the forecasted fuel and purchased power costs for the 12-month period from April 1 to March 31, less the base cost of fuel and purchased power of 2.9 cents per kWh, which is embedded in base rates. The ACC approved a forward component of 0.18 cents per kWh, effective April 1, 2009.

•

The true-up component will reconcile any over/under collected amounts from the preceding 12 month period and will be credited to or recovered from customers in the subsequent year.

As part of the reconciliation of fuel and purchased power costs and PPFAC revenues, TEP credits the following against the recoverable costs: 100% of short-term wholesale revenues; 10% of the profit on trading activity; and 50% of the revenues from the sales of SO₂ emission allowances.

On a cash basis, Fixed CTC revenue to be refunded ($58 million collected from May 2008 to November 30, 2008) will be credited to customers as an offset to the PPFAC. This credit will off-set the forward and true-up components of the PPFAC, resulting in a PPFAC charge of zero until the Fixed CTC revenue to be refunded is fully credited, which is expected to occur over the next 36 to 48 months beginning April 1, 2009.

El Paso Electric Dispute

TEP was a party to a proceeding at FERC that involved the interpretation of the 1982 Power Exchange and Transmission Agreement (1982 Agreement) between TEP and El Paso. The dispute related to TEP’s ability to use existing rights for the transmission of power from Luna into TEP’s system. On November 13, 2008, the FERC issued a decision that supported TEP’s position. As a result of the ruling, El Paso refunded to TEP pre-tax amounts of $10 million in disputed transmission charges and $1 million of accrued interest. TEP is no longer accruing transmission charges under this agreement. In January 2009, FERC granted El Paso’s request for a rehearing in this matter. As a result of the pending appeal process, TEP’s 2008 net income does not reflect the refund made by El Paso. TEP does not expect to recognize any income related to this refund until the appeals process is fully resolved.

In December 2008, TEP filed a complaint in the U.S. Federal District Court against El Paso seeking a $2 million reimbursement for transmission charges paid by TEP to PNM for transmission service in an attempt to mitigate TEP’s damages before FERC issued its decision in November 2008. On February 23, 2009, El Paso filed a motion to dismiss TEP’s complaint, or in the alternative, requested a stay in the proceeding pending further resolution by FERC. In April 2009, TEP filed a response requesting that the court deny El Paso’s motion, followed by an El Paso reply in May 2009. TEP cannot predict the timing or outcome of this lawsuit.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Expense

In the second quarters of 2009 and 2008, TEP charged $5 million and $3 million, respectively, of pension and postretirement benefit expenses to O&M expense. For the first six months of 2009 and 2008, the charges were $11 million and $5 million, respectively. For the full year 2009, TEP expects to charge $18 million of pension and postretirement benefit expense to O&M expense. The increase in 2009 compared with 2008 is due primarily to a decline in the market value of the pension asset values, as well as decreases in the discount rates used to calculate the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit costs. See Note 9. Employee Benefit Plans, for more information.

Fair Value Measurements

As described in Note 11 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, TEP adopted accounting rules for fair value measurements, on January 1, 2008 which, among other things, establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, based on the valuation techniques used to determine the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, TEP’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009. As required by fair value accounting rules, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1)		Cash Equivalents are based on observable market prices and are comprised of the fair value of Commercial Paper and Money Market Funds.

(2)		Level 2 investments consist of amounts held in mutual and money market funds related to deferred compensation and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) benefits. The valuation is based on quoted prices, traded in active markets. These investments are included in Investments and Other Property – Other in the UniSource Energy and TEP balance sheets.

(3)		Energy contracts include gas swap agreements (Level 2); gas collars (Level 3); forward power purchase and sales contracts (Level 3); and forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas (Level 3), entered into to take advantage of favorable market conditions and reduce exposure to energy price risk. The valuation techniques are described below.

(4)		Interest Rate Swaps are valued based on the six month LIBOR index.

(5)		Collateral provided for energy contracts with counterparties to reduce credit risk exposure.

For 2009 year-to-date, TEP recorded unrealized losses of $8 million in net regulatory assets, $5 million of which related to the change in fair value of Level 2 gas swaps, due to lower forward gas prices. The remaining $3 million related to the change in the fair value of Level 3 forward power contracts.

TEP primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavors to utilize the best available information. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full terms of the asset or liability, such as gas swap derivatives valued using New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) pricing, adjusted for basin differentials, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.

Derivatives valued using an aggregate pricing service or published prices that represent a consensus reporting of multiple brokers are categorized in Level 3. For both power and gas prices, TEP obtains quotes from brokers, major market participants, exchanges or industry publications as well as its own price experience from active transactions in the market. TEP primarily uses one set of quotations each for power and for gas, and then uses the other sources as validation of those prices. The broker providing quotes for power prices states that the market information provided is indicative only, but believes it to be reflective of market conditions as of the time and date indicated. In addition, energy derivatives include contracts where published prices are not readily available. These include contracts for delivery periods during non-standard time blocks, contracts for delivery during only a few months of a given year when prices are quoted only for the annual average, or contracts for delivery at illiquid delivery points. In these cases, TEP applies certain management assumptions to value such contracts. These assumptions include applying historical price curve relationships to calendar year quotes, applying percentage multipliers to value non-standard time blocks, including the impact of counterparty credit risk, using current and historical default and recovery rates, our own credit risk, using credit default swap data, and including adjustments for transmission and line losses to value contracts at illiquid delivery points. TEP reviews these assumptions on a quarterly basis.

The fair value of TEP’s gas collar is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model which takes into account inputs such as contract terms, including maturity, and market parameters, including assumptions of the future prices of energy, interest rates, volatility, creditworthiness and credit spread. The fair value of TEP’s purchase power call option is estimated using an internal pricing model which includes assumptions about market risks such as liquidity, volatility, and contract valuation. TEP’s model also considers credit and non-performance risk. TEP’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurements requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

*		Net Cash Flows after Capital Expenditures and Net Cash Flows Available after Required Payments, both non-GAAP measures of liquidity, should not be considered as alternatives to Net Cash Flows - Operating Activities, which is determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity. TEP believes that Net Cash Flows after Capital Expenditures and Net Cash Flows Available after Required Payments provide useful information to investors as measures of liquidity and its ability to fund its capital requirements, make required payments on debt and capital lease obligations, and pay dividends to UniSource Energy.

Liquidity Outlook

During 2009, TEP expects to generate sufficient internal cash flows to fund all of its construction expenditures and operating activities. Cash flows may vary during the year, with cash flow from operations typically the lowest in the first quarter and highest in the third quarter due to TEP’s summer peaking load. As a result of the varied seasonal cash flow, TEP will use, as needed, its revolving credit facility to fund its business activities.

Operating Activities

In the first six months of 2009, net cash flows from operating activities decreased by $29 million compared with 2008. Net cash flows were impacted by:

•

a $15 million increase in cash receipts from retail and wholesale electric sales, less fuel and purchased power costs, resulting from lower wholesale sales, fuel costs and purchased power costs; and

•

an $8 million decrease in total interest paid resulting from lower rates on variable rate debt and lower capital lease interest paid; offset by

•

a $36 million increase in O&M costs related primarily to planned major plant outage and maintenance costs and general cost pressures resulting from inflation and other economic factors; and

•

an $11 million increase in performance deposit payments.

Investing Activities

Net cash used for investing activities was $93 million lower in the first six months of 2009 compared with 2008 primarily due to: a $133 million deposit made last year by TEP to the trustee for bonds that matured in August 2009; and a $4 million decrease in capital expenditures; partially offset by a $31 million investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease debt. See Financing Activities, Investments in Springerville Lease Debt and Equity, below for more information.

Financing Activities

Net cash proceeds from financing activities were $109 million lower in the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008 due to: proceeds of $221 million received last year related to a long-term debt issuance; partially offset by a $20 million increase in net proceeds from revolving credit facility borrowings; a $30 million capital contribution from UniSource Energy; and a decrease in payments for capital lease obligations of $48 million.

TEP Credit Agreement

The TEP Credit Agreement consists of a $150 million revolving credit facility and a $341 million letter of credit facility which supports $329 million of tax-exempt variable rate bonds. The TEP Credit Agreement matures in 2011 and is secured by $491 million of Mortgage Bonds. At June 30, 2009, there were $40 million in borrowings outstanding and $1 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2009, TEP was in compliance with the terms of the TEP Credit Agreement.

TEP Letter of Credit Facility

TEP has a $132 million letter of credit and reimbursement agreement (2008 TEP Letter of Credit Facility) that expires in April 2011. The 2008 TEP Letter of Credit Facility supports $130 million of variable rate tax-exempt IDBs. As of June 30, 2009, TEP was in compliance with the terms of its 2008 Letter of Credit Facility.

Capital Contribution from UniSource Energy

In March 2009, UniSource Energy contributed $30 million of capital to TEP. TEP used the proceeds to purchase Springerville Unit 1 lease debt. See Investments in Springerville Lease Debt and Equity, below.

Interest Rate Risk

TEP is exposed to interest rate risk resulting from changes in interest rates on certain of its variable rate debt obligations, as well as borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As a result, TEP may be required to pay significantly higher rates of interest on outstanding variable rate debt and borrowings under its revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, TEP had $459 million in tax-exempt variable rate debt outstanding. The interest rates on TEP’s tax-exempt variable rate debt are reset weekly by its remarketing agents. The maximum interest payable under the indentures for the bonds is 10% on the $130 million of 2008 Pima B Bonds and 20% on the other $329 million in IDBs. During 2008, the average rates paid ranged from 1.15% to 8.09%. During 2009, the average rates paid have ranged from 0.32% to 0.57%. At July 31, 2009, the average rate on the debt was 0.32%.

Capital Lease Obligations

At June 30, 2009, TEP had $532 million of total capital lease obligations on its balance sheet. The table below provides a summary of the outstanding lease amounts in each of the obligations.


	Capital Lease Obligation
	Balance				Renewal/Purchase
Leased Asset	at June 30, 2009		Expiration		Option
	- Millions of Dollars -
Springerville Unit 1	$	317		2015	Fair market value purchase option

Springerville Coal Handling Facilities		94		2015	Fixed price purchase option

Springerville Common Facilities		108		2020	Fixed price purchase option

Sundt Unit 4		13		2011	Fair market value purchase option


Total Capital Lease Obligations	$	532

Except for TEP’s 14% equity ownership in the Springerville Unit 1 Leases and its 13% equity ownership in the Springerville Coal Handling Facilities, TEP will not own these assets at the expiration of the leases. TEP may renew the leases or purchase the leased assets at such time. The renewal and purchase options for Springerville Unit 1 and Sundt Unit 4 are generally for fair market value as determined at that time, while the purchase price option is fixed for the Springerville Coal Handling Facilities and Common Facilities. TEP’s capital lease obligation balances decline over time due to the normal capital lease payments made by TEP. See Note. 4 Debt, Credit Facilities and Capital Lease Obligations for more information about the fixed purchase price amounts.

Investments in Springerville Lease Debt and Equity

At June 30, 2009, TEP had $145 million of investments in lease debt and equity on its balance sheet. In March 2009, TEP made a $31 million purchase of Springerville Unit 1 lease debt.

Income Tax Position

TEP increased its expected pension plan contributions for 2009 from $16 million to $18 million.

Dividends on Common Stock

TEP can pay dividends if it maintains compliance with the TEP Credit Agreement and certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2009, TEP was in compliance with the terms of the TEP Credit Agreement.

The Federal Power Act states that dividends shall not be paid out of funds properly included in capital accounts. Although the terms of the Federal Power Act are unclear, we believe that there is a reasonable basis for TEP to pay dividends from current year earnings.

UNS GAS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UNS Gas reported net income of less than $1 million in the second quarters of 2009 and 2008. In the first six months of 2009, UNS Gas reported net income of $5 million compared with $7 million in the same period last year.

Retail therm sales decreased by 0.9% in the second quarter of 2009 compared with the same period last year due to mild weather, slower customer growth and general economic conditions.

Through a Negotiated Sales Program (NSP) approved by the ACC, customers who receive gas transmission services from UNS Gas may also elect to purchase gas from UNS Gas. Approximately one half of the margin earned on these NSP sales is retained by UNS Gas, while the remainder benefits retail customers through a credit to the PGA mechanism which reduces the gas commodity price.

Retail therm sales were 11.6% lower in the first six months of 2009 compared with the same period last year due to mild weather, slower customer growth and general economic conditions. The lower gas sales volumes resulted in a $3 million, or 9.1%, decrease in non-fuel retail revenues.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RATES AND REGULATION

Energy Cost Adjustment Mechanism

UNS Gas’ retail rates include a PGA mechanism intended to address the volatility of natural gas prices and allow UNS Gas to recover its actual commodity costs, including transportation, through a price adjustor. The difference between UNS Gas’ actual monthly gas and transportation costs and the rolling 12-month average cost of gas and transportation is deferred and recovered from or returned to customers through the PGA mechanism.

The current PGA mechanism has two components, the PGA factor and the PGA surcharge or credit. The PGA factor is a mechanism that calculates the twelve-month rolling weighted average gas cost and automatically adjusts monthly, subject to limitations on how much the price per therm may change in a twelve month period. The annual cap on the maximum increase in the PGA factor is $0.15 per therm in a twelve month period.

At any time UNS Gas’ PGA bank balance is under-recovered, UNS Gas may request a PGA surcharge with the goal of collecting the amount deferred from customers over a period deemed appropriate by the ACC. When the PGA bank balance reaches an over-collected balance of $10 million on a billed to customers basis, UNS Gas is required to make a filing so that the ACC can determine how the over-collected balance should be returned to customers. On June 30, 2009, the PGA bank balance was over-collected by $8 million.

2008 General Rate Case Filing

In November 2008, UNS Gas filed a general rate case with the ACC on a cost of service basis. UNS Gas is seeking a 6%, or $9.5 million, rate increase. The rate increase requested by UNS Gas was based on an original cost rate base of $182 million and an 11% ROE. On June 8, 2009, the ACC staff and other intervenors filed testimony in this proceeding. The ACC staff recommended a rate increase of $3.4 million based on an original cost rate base of $178 million and a 10% ROE. Hearings before an administrative law judge (ALJ) are scheduled to begin August 10, 2009. UNS Gas expects the ACC to issue a final order in the fourth quarter of 2009. UNS Gas cannot predict the outcome of this general rate case proceeding.

Fair Value Measurements

UNS Gas adopted accounting rules for fair value measurements, on January 1, 2008. See Tucson Electric Power, Factors Affecting Results of Operations, above, for more information about fair value accounting rules.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, UNS Gas’ financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009. As required by fair value accounting rules, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Outlook

UNS Gas’ capital requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures. In the first six months of 2009, capital expenditures were $7 million. UNS Gas expects internal cash flows to fund its future operating activities and a large portion of its construction expenditures. Sources of funding future capital expenditures could include draws on the revolving credit facility, additional credit lines, the issuance of long-term debt, or capital contribution from UniSource Energy. UNS Gas may need to rely more heavily on external funding sources for capital expenditures until it receives a decision in the rate case filed in November 2008. See 2008 General Rate Case Filing, above.

Ending Cash	$	26		$	19

Operating cash flows increased in the first six months of 2009 due primarily to lower purchased energy costs paid.

UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver

The UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver is a $60 million unsecured revolving credit facility which matures in August 2011. Either borrower may borrow up to a maximum of $45 million so long as the combined amount borrowed does not exceed $60 million.

The UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver contains restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, mergers and sales of assets; it also contains a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum cash flow to interest coverage ratio for each borrower. UNS Gas expects to draw upon the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver from time to time for seasonal working capital purposes, to fund a portion of its capital expenditures or to issue letters of credit to provide credit enhancement for its energy procurement and hedging activities. As of June 30, 2009, UNS Gas and UNS Electric were each in compliance with the terms of the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver. As of July 31, 2009, UNS Gas had no outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver.

Interest Rate Risk

UNS Gas is subject to interest rate risk resulting from changes in interest rates on its borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The interest paid on revolving credit borrowings is variable. As a result of recent volatility in interest rates, UNS Gas may be required to pay higher rates of interest on borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Senior Unsecured Notes

UNS Gas has $100 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding consisting of $50 million of 6.23% Notes due in 2011 and $50 million of 6.23% Notes due in 2015, each of which are guaranteed by UES. The note purchase agreement for UNS Gas restricts transactions with affiliates, mergers, liens, restricted payments and incurrence of indebtedness, and also contains a minimum net worth test. As of June 30, 2009, UNS Gas was in compliance with the terms of its note purchase agreement.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes in UNS Gas’ contractual obligations or other commercial commitments from those reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, other than the following purchase obligations entered into in 2009:

Dividends on Common Stock

The note purchase agreement for UNS Gas contains restrictions on dividends. UNS Gas may pay dividends so long as (a) no default or event of default exists and (b) it could incur additional debt under the debt incurrence test. See Senior Unsecured Notes, above. It is unlikely, however, that UNS Gas will pay dividends in the next few years due to expected cash requirements for capital expenditures.

UNS ELECTRIC

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

UNS Electric reported net income of $2 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared with $1 million in the second quarter of 2008. In the first six months of 2009 and 2008, UNS Electric reported net income of $2 million and $1 million, respectively.

Similar to TEP, UNS Electric’s operations are generally seasonal in nature, with peak energy demand occurring in the summer months.

In the first six months of 2009, total retail kWh sales increased 4.1% compared with the same period last year. Non-mining kWh sales decreased by 3.8% due in part to weak economic conditions. Sales to UNS Electric’s mining customer increased as the mine expanded its production output compared with the first half of 2008.

UNS Electric’s retail customer base did not change compared with June 30, 2008.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rates

2008 UNS Electric Rate Order

In May 2008, the ACC issued an order authorizing a 2.5%, or $4 million base rate increase effective June 1, 2008. UNS Electric had requested a 5.5%, or $8.5 million base rate increase.

Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause

As part of the 2008 ACC order, a new PPFAC mechanism took effect on June 1, 2008. The PPFAC mechanism has a forward component and a true-up component. The forward component of the PPFAC rate is based on forecasted fuel and purchased power costs. The true-up component reconciles actual fuel and purchased power costs with the amounts collected in the prior year and any amounts under/over-collected will be collected/credited

from/to customers. The ACC approved a cap on the PPFAC forward component of 1.73 cents per kWh, resulting in total fuel and purchased power recovery of approximately 8.7 cents per kWh, an increase of approximately 1.7 cents per kWh in UNS Electric’s average retail rate. On April 1, 2009, UNS Electric filed a request with the ACC for a PPFAC rate that credits 1.06 cents per kWh. This results in a total fuel and purchased power recovery of approximately 6.06 cents per kWh that became effective on June 1, 2009.

2009 General Rate Case Filing

On April 30, 2009, UNS Electric filed a rate case application with the ACC seeking a base rate increase of 7.4% or $13.5 million. UNS Electric’s filing also included a proposal to acquire, and put into its rate base, BMGS, the gas-fired facility in UNS Electric’s service territory that is owned and operated by UED. The proposed acquisition and inclusion of BMGS in rate base would not impact the amount of the total rate increase requested by UNS Electric. Hearings before an ACC administrative law judge are scheduled to begin February 2, 2010.

Fair Value Measurements

UNS Electric adopted accounting rules for fair value measurements, on January 1, 2008. See Tucson Electric Power, Factors Affecting Results of Operations, above, for more information about fair value accounting rules.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, UNS Electric’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009. As required by fair value accounting rules, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

(1)		Cash Equivalents are based on observable market prices and are comprised of the fair value of Money Market Funds.

(2)		Collateral provided to energy contract counterparties to reduce credit risk exposure.

(3)		Energy contracts include gas swap agreements (Level 2), gas collars (Level 3), forward power purchase and sales contracts (Level 3), and forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas (Level 3), entered into to take advantage of favorable market conditions and reduce exposure to energy price risk. The amounts include current and non-current liabilities and are net of current and non-current assets. The level 3 valuation techniques are described below.

UNS Electric recorded in 2009 year-to-date, unrealized losses of $4 million in net regulatory assets, of which $3 million relates to the change in the fair value of forward power purchase contracts classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The remaining $1 million relates to the change in the fair value of gas swap agreements, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. These changes in fair value were primarily due to lower forward power prices on fixed price forward power purchases and due to lower forward gas prices on gas swap agreements.

UNS Electric’s Level 3 derivatives include certain energy contracts where published prices are not readily available. These include contracts for delivery periods during non-standard time blocks, contracts for delivery during only a few months of a given year when prices are quoted only for the annual average, or contracts for delivery at illiquid delivery points. In these cases, UNS Electric applies certain management assumptions to value such contracts. These assumptions include applying historical price curve relationships to calendar year quotes, applying percentage multipliers to value non-standard time blocks, including the impact of counterparty credit risk, current and historical default and recovery rates, our own credit risk using credit default swap data, and including adjustments for transmission and line losses to value contracts at illiquid delivery points. UNS Electric reviews these assumptions on a quarterly basis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity Outlook

In the first six months of 2009, UNS Electric’s capital expenditures were $17 million. UNS Electric expects internal cash flows to fund a portion of its construction expenditures. Additional sources of funding future capital expenditures could include draws on the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver, additional credit lines, the issuance of long-term debt, or capital contributions from UniSource Energy.

UNS Electric implemented an average base rate increase of approximately 2.5% in June 2008, however the increase does not provide sufficient cash flow to cover UNS Electric’s higher costs and fund all of its capital expenditures. UNS Electric may need to rely on external funding sources for capital expenditures until it receives a decision in the rate case UNS Electric filed in April 2009. See UniSource Energy Consolidated, Outlook and Strategies, Economic Conditions and UniSource Energy, Liquidity and Capital Resources, Liquidity, Access to Revolving Credit Facilities, above for more information regarding the potential impact of current financial market conditions.

Operating Cash Flow and Capital Expenditures

The table below provides summary cash flow information for UNS Electric.

Operating cash flows increased in the first six months of 2009 due to higher industrial and mining kWh sales, as well as an increase in base rates and the PPFAC charge that went into effect on June 1, 2008.

UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver

See UNS Gas, Liquidity and Capital Resources, UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver above for a description of UNS Electric’s unsecured revolving credit agreement.

The UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver contains restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, mergers and sales of assets; it also contains a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum cash flow to interest coverage ratio for each borrower. UNS Electric expects to draw upon the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver from time to time for seasonal working capital purposes, to fund a portion of its capital expenditures or to issue letters of credit to provide credit enhancement for its energy procurement and hedging activities. At July 31, 2009, UNS Electric had no borrowings and $12 million in letters of credit outstanding under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver.

Senior Unsecured Notes

UNS Electric has $100 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding, consisting of $50 million of 6.50% notes due in 2015 and $50 million of 7.10% notes due in 2023. The notes are guaranteed by UES. The note purchase agreement for UNS Electric contains certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on transactions with affiliates, mergers, liens to secure indebtedness, restricted payments, and incurrence of indebtedness. As of June 30, 2009, UNS Electric was in compliance with the terms of its note purchase agreement.

Contractual Obligations

There have been no significant changes in UNS Electric’s contractual obligations or other commercial commitments from those reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K other than the following purchase obligations entered into in 2009:

Dividends on Common Stock

The note purchase agreement for UNS Electric contains restrictions on dividends. UNS Electric may pay dividends so long as (a) no default or event of default exists and (b) it could incur additional debt under the debt incurrence test. See Senior Unsecured Notes, above. It is unlikely, however, that UNS Electric will pay dividends in the next few years due to expected cash requirements for capital expenditures.

UniSource Energy Parent Company

UniSource Energy parent company expenses include interest expense (net of tax) related to the UniSource Energy Convertible Senior Notes and the UniSource Credit Agreement.

UED

UED completed the construction of the 90 MW BMGS near Kingman, Arizona in May 2008. UED sells the output of BMGS to UNS Electric through a PPA.

In March 2009, UED entered into a 364-day $30 million term loan facility that is guaranteed by UniSource Energy and is secured by substantially all of the assets of UED, which primarily consist of BMGS and a mortgage on UED’s leasehold interest in the real property on which BMGS is located. UED immediately drew down the entire facility and distributed the loan proceeds to UniSource Energy, which in turn made a capital contribution to TEP. UED has the option of paying interest at LIBOR plus 3% or an alternate base rate plus 2%. In July 2009, UED made a $2 million principal payment on this term loan. See UniSource Energy Consolidated, Liquidity and Capital Resources, Capital Contributions, above, for more information.

In the second quarter and first six months of 2009, UED recorded after-tax income of $1 million and $2 million, respectively related to the operation of BMGS.

Millennium Investments

In June 2009, Millennium finalized a sale of its 50% interest in Sabinas to Mimosa. The terms called for an upfront $5 million payment to Millennium which was received in January 2009. Other key terms of the transaction include a three year, 6% interest-bearing, collateralized $15 million note from Mimosa. In June 2009, Millennium recorded a $6 million pre-tax gain on the sale.

FACTORS AFFECTING RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Millennium Investments

Millennium is in the process of exiting its remaining investments. At June 30, 2009, Millennium’s total investments, including a $15 million note, were approximately $30 million and its cash balance was $5 million. Millennium paid $3 million in dividends to UniSource Energy in the first quarter of 2009.

Nations Energy Corporation (Nations Energy), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennium, has been inactive since 2001. As of June 30, 2009, Nations Energy had a deferred tax asset of $3 million related to investment losses that have not been reflected on UniSource Energy’s consolidated income tax return.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, Millennium’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009. As required by fair value accounting rules, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

In preparing financial statements under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), management exercises judgment in the selection and application of accounting principles, including making estimates and assumptions. UniSource Energy and TEP’s Critical Accounting Estimates are described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and includes the following:

•

Accounting for Rate Regulation;

•

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations;

•

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plan Assumptions;

•

Accounting for Derivative Instruments, Trading Activities and Hedging Activities;

•

Unbilled Revenue — TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric;

•

Plant Asset Depreciable Lives — TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric; and

•

Deferred Tax Valuation.

Each of our critical accounting estimates involves complex situations requiring a high degree of judgment either in the application and interpretation of existing literature or in the development of estimates that impact the financial statements. There have been no significant changes in our accounting policies from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The FASB recently issued the following Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS):

•

FAS 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment to FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, issued March 2008, requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activity. The standard requires that the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk so that the reader understands the risks that the entity is intending to manage through the use of the derivative instruments. The standard also requires disclosure of the location in the financial statements of derivative balances as well as the location of gains and losses incurred during the reporting period. See Note 5.

•

EITF 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations, issued November 2008, requires an entity to apply the cost accumulation model when determining the carrying value of an equity investment. Share issuances by the investee should be accounted for as if the equity investee had sold a proportionate share of its investment with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. In addition, the EITF requires that impairment testing be performed at an overall investment level. We adopted January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

•

FAS 165, Subsequent Events, issued May 2009, established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The standard is applies to reporting periods starting second quarter 2009 and is included in Note 1.

•

FSP FAS 107-1, and APB 28-1 Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, issued April 2009, expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments not measured at fair value to interim periods. The pronouncement requires entities to disclose the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. We have adopted the requirements of this pronouncement. See Note 8.

The following recently issued accounting standards are not yet reflected in the UniSource Energy and TEP financial statements:

•

FSP FAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets, issued in December 2008, amends Statement 132(R)-1 to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. We will adopt the requirements of this pronouncement in our 2009 Form 10-K.

•

FAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities a replacement of FASB Statement 125, issued June 2009, improves the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any, in transferred financial assets. We are assessing the impact of this pronouncement, which will be applicable for our 2009 10-K.

•

FAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51, issued June 2009, amends Interpretation 46(R) to require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. We are assessing the impact of this pronouncement, which will be applicable to us for 2010.

•

FAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FAS 162, issued June 2009, establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. This statement is effective for financial statements issued third quarter 2009.

We express our expectations, beliefs and projections in good faith and believe them to have a reasonable basis. However, we make no assurances that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will be achieved or accomplished. We have identified the following important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in our forward-looking statements. These may be in addition to other factors and matters discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and other parts of this report: state and federal regulatory and legislative decisions and actions, including environmental legislation and renewable energy requirements; regional economic and market conditions which could affect customer growth and energy usage; weather variations affecting energy usage; the cost of debt and equity capital and access to capital markets; the performance of the stock market and changing interest rate environment, which affect the value of the company’s pension and other postretirement benefit plan assets and the related contribution requirements and expense; unexpected increases in O&M expense; resolution of pending litigation matters; changes in accounting standards; changes in critical accounting estimates; the ongoing restructuring of the electric industry; changes to long-term contracts; the cost of fuel and power supplies; and performance of TEP’s generating plants.

ITEM 3. — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information contained in this Item identifies material changes from the information included in Part II, Item 7A in UniSource Energy and TEP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009, in addition to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented in Item 1 and Management’s Discussion and Analysis presented in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q.

Interest Rate Risk

In May 2009, TEP entered into two interest rate swaps to reduce the risk of unfavorable changes in variable interest rates related to changes in LIBOR. The swaps have the effect of converting approximately $30 million of variable rate lease debt payments for the Springerville Common Facilities Leases to a fixed rate through June 30, 2014 and July 1, 2014.

Commodity Price Risk

TEP

TEP is exposed to commodity price risk primarily relating to changes in the market price of electricity, natural gas, coal and emission allowances. Beginning January 1, 2009, this risk is mitigated through the PPFAC mechanism which provides for recovery of the actual cost of fuel and purchased power for TEP’s retail customers. The commodity price risk from changes in the price of coal, electricity and emission allowances have not changed materially from the commodity price risks reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Natural Gas

In addition to energy from its coal-fired facilities, TEP typically uses purchased power, supplemented by generation from its gas-fired units to meet the summer peak demands of its retail customers and to meet local reliability needs. Some of these purchased power contracts are price indexed to natural gas prices. Short-term and spot power purchase prices are also closely correlated to natural gas prices. Due to its increasing seasonal gas and purchased power usage, TEP hedges a portion of its total natural gas exposure from plant fuel, gas-indexed purchase power and spot market purchases with fixed price contracts for a maximum of three years. TEP purchases its remaining gas fuel needs and purchased power in the spot and short-term markets.

In the first six months of 2009, the average market price of natural gas was $3.17 per MMBtu, or 62% lower than the same period in 2008. The table below summarizes TEP’s gas generation output and purchased power for the first three months of 2009 and 2008.


Six Months Ended June 30,	2009		2008		2009			2008

Purchased Power		1,517,000		1,255,000		25	%		18	%

The net pre-tax unrealized losses on derivative gas contracts were as follows:

Prices based on models and other valuation methods		(1	)		—			(4	)		(5	)

Total	$	(1	)	$	—		$	(26	)	$	(27	)

TEP uses sensitivity analysis to measure the impact of an unfavorable change in market prices on the fair value of its derivative forward contracts. Beginning in December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, which permits the recovery of prudent costs associated with hedging contracts through the PPFAC, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability. As contracts settle, the unrealized gains and losses are reversed and realized gains or losses are recorded to the PPFAC. The chart below summarizes the change in unrealized gains or losses if market prices increase or decrease by 10%.


	- Millions of Dollars -

Non-Cash Flow Hedges
Forward gas contracts	$	5		$	(5	)
Forward power sales and purchase contracts		(1	)		1

Cash Flow Hedges
Forward power purchase contracts		1			(1	)

UNS Gas

UNS Gas is subject to commodity price risk, primarily from the changes in the price of natural gas purchased for its customers. This risk is mitigated through the PGA mechanism which provides an adjustment to UNS Gas’ retail rates to recover the actual costs of gas and transportation. For UNS Gas’ forward gas purchase contracts, a 10% decrease in market prices would result in an increase in unrealized net losses reported as net regulatory assets of $3 million, while a 10% increase in market prices would result in a decrease in unrealized net losses reported as net regulatory assets of $3 million.

UNS Electric

UNS Electric is exposed to commodity price risk from changes in the price for electricity and natural gas. This risk is mitigated through a PPFAC mechanism which fully recovers the costs incurred on a timely basis. For UNS Electric’s forward power purchase contracts, a 10% decrease in market prices would result in an increase in unrealized net losses reported as net regulatory assets of $10 million, while a 10% increase in market prices would result in a decrease in unrealized net losses reported as net regulatory assets of $10 million.

For UNS Electric’s forward gas purchase contracts, a 10% decrease in market prices would result in an increase in unrealized net losses reported as net regulatory assets of $2 million, while a 10% increase in market prices would result in a decrease in unrealized net losses reported as regulatory assets of $2 million.

Credit Risk

UniSource Energy is exposed to credit risk in its energy-related marketing, trading and hedging activities related to potential non-performance by counterparties.

As of June 30, 2009, TEP’s total credit exposure related to its wholesale marketing and gas hedging activities was approximately $20 million, including $11 million of inter-company exposure to UNS Electric. TEP’s total exposure to non-investment grade or non-rated counterparties was $5 million.

At June 30, 2009, TEP had $10 million in credit enhancements, consisting of $9 million in cash and $1 million in letters of credit, posted with counterparties, and did not hold any collateral from its counterparties.

At June 30, 2009, UNS Gas had no mark-to-market counterparty credit exposure under its supply and hedging contracts. As of June 30, 2009, UNS Gas had posted $4 million in cash as credit enhancements with its counterparties, and did not hold any collateral from counterparties.

At June 30, 2009, UNS Electric had less than $1 million of counterparty credit exposure under such contracts. As of June 30, 2009, UNS Electric had posted $12 million in letters of credit and $1 million in cash collateral as credit enhancements with its counterparties and had not collected any collateral margin from its counterparties.


ITEM 4.		— CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

UniSource Energy and TEP’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervised and participated in UniSource Energy and TEP’s evaluation of their disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a – 15(e) or Rule 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in UniSource Energy and TEP’s periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by UniSource Energy and TEP in the reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation performed, UniSource Energy and TEP’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that UniSource Energy and TEP’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

While UniSource Energy and TEP continually strive to improve their disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of their financial reporting, there has been no change in UniSource Energy or TEP’s internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, UniSource Energy or TEP’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.		— LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Right of Way Matters

TEP is a defendant in a putative class action filed on February 11, 2009, in the United States District Court in Albuquerque, New Mexico by members of the Navajo Nation. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that the rights of ways for defendants’ transmission lines on Navajo lands were improperly granted and that the compensation paid for such rights of way was inadequate. The plaintiffs are requesting, among other things, that the transmission lines on these lands be removed. In June 2009, TEP and the other defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit on procedural grounds. TEP cannot predict the outcome of this lawsuit.

There are no other pending material legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, other than routine litigation incidental to the business of the Company. We discuss other legal proceedings in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Commitments and Contingencies and in Item 2. – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


ITEM 1A.		— RISK FACTORS

The business and financial results of UniSource Energy and TEP are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties have not changed materially from those reported in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 5.		– OTHER INFORMATION

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The following table reflects the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for UniSource Energy and TEP:


	6 Months Ended		12 Months Ended
	June 30, 2009		June 30, 2009
UniSource Energy		1.971		1.668

TEP		1.847		1.591

For purposes of this computation, earnings are defined as pre-tax earnings from continuing operations before minority interest, or income/loss from equity method investments, plus interest expense and amortization of debt discount and expense related to indebtedness. Fixed charges are interest expense, including amortization of debt discount and expense on indebtedness.

Environmental Matters

In April 2009, APS received a request from the EPA under section 114 of the Clean Air Act seeking information about Four Corners. Four Corners, which is operated by APS, is comprised of five coal-fired generating units. TEP has a 7% ownership interest in two units, totaling 110 MW. APS is in the process of responding to the EPA’s request. TEP cannot predict the timing or outcome of this matter.
