Exhibit A CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements For the Year Ended December 31, 1999 Note A-Consolidation: The consolidating financial statements include the accounts of Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Connecticut Valley Electric Company Inc. (CVEC), C. V. Realty, Inc., and Catamount Resources Corporation (CRC) which compose CVPS consolidated. In addition, for purposes of this SEC Form U-3A-2, the consolidating financial statements include the accounts of CVPS's affiliates, Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. (VELCO) 56.8 percent owned, Vermont Electric Transmission Company, Inc. (VETCO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VELCO and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation (VY) 31.3 percent owned, which constitutes total consolidated. CVPS follows the equity method of accounting for its investments in affiliates. See Note D. Note B-Income taxes: CVPS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries -------------------------------------- The Company records income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance has not been recorded, as the Company expects all deferred income tax assets will be utilized in the future. VELCO ----- VELCO records income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 109, additional deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from VELCO's transmission billing calculation will be returned to, or collected from, ratepayers in future transmission billings. VELCO expects all deferred income tax assets will be utilized in the future. CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements (continued) VY -- Vermont Yankee records taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Note C-VETCO: VETCO has entered into support agreements in connection with construction of the transmission line with substantially all of the New England electric utilities. The support agreements require the utilities to reimburse VETCO for all operating and capital costs of the transmission line on an unconditional and absolute basis. In return, VETCO has agreed to build, own, operate and maintain the line and to involve itself in no other activities during the term of the agreement, which extends for 30 years from the date of commercial operation of the line. These support agreements also provide for an advisory committee made up of participants to review the operations of VETCO and to make recommendations on major decisions. VETCO is obligated to follow these recommendations to the extent reasonably practical. Although, VELCO owns 100 percent of VETCO's outstanding Common Stock, these provisions of the support agreements effectively restrict VELCO's control, VELCO has not consolidated its financial information with that of VETCO and instead is accounting for its investment using the equity method.
