Note 10 — Business Segments:

 

AWR has three reportable segments, water, electric and contracted services, whereas GSWC has two segments, water and electric. Within the segments, AWR has two principal business units: water and electric service utility operations conducted through GSWC, and one contracted services unit conducted through ASUS and its subsidiaries. AWR has no material assets other than its investments in its subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis.

 

All activities of GSWC are geographically located within California.  The operating activities of CCWC have been included in discontinued operations as described in Note 9.  All activities of CCWC were located in the state of Arizona. GSWC is, and CCWC was, a rate-regulated utility.

 

Activities of ASUS and its subsidiaries are conducted in California, Georgia, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.  Each of ASUS’s wholly owned subsidiaries is regulated by the state in which the subsidiary primarily conducts water and/or wastewater operations.  Fees charged for operations and maintenance, and renewal and replacement services are based upon the terms of the contracts with the U.S. government which have been filed with the commissions in the states in which ASUS’s subsidiaries are incorporated.

 

The tables below set forth information relating to GSWC’s operating segments, ASUS and its subsidiaries, and other matters. The identifiable assets are net of respective accumulated provisions for depreciation. Capital additions reflect capital expenditures paid in cash and exclude property installed by developers and conveyed to GSWC and through May 31, 2011 for CCWC.
