Presentation The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 17. Market Risk and Risk Management Instruments Select Energy provides both firm requirement energy services to its customers and engages in energy trading and marketing activities. Select Energy manages its exposure to risk from existing contractual commitments and provides risk management services to its customers through forward contracts, futures, over-the-counter swap agreements, and options (commodity derivatives). Select Energy has utilized the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose the quantitative information for its commodity price risks. Sensitivity analysis provides a presentation of the potential loss of future earnings, fair values or cash flows from market risk-sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to one or more hypothetical changes in commodity prices, or other similar price changes. Commodity Price Risk - Trading Activities: As a market participant in the Northeast United States, Select Energy conducts commodity-trading activities in electricity and its related products, natural gas and oil and, therefore, experiences net open positions. Select Energy manages these open positions with strict policies which limit its exposure to market risk and require daily reporting to management of potential financial exposure. Under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-10, "Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," these instruments are adjusted to market value, and the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the current period in the statements of income as fuel, purchased and net interchange power and in the balance sheets as prepayments and other. The mark-to-market position at March 31, 2002, had an asset value of $57.5 million. Under sensitivity analysis, the fair value of the portfolio is a function of the underlying commodity, contract prices and market prices represented by each derivative commodity contract. For swaps, forward contracts and options, market value reflects management's best estimates considering over-the-counter quotations, time value and volatility factors of the underlying commitments. Exchange-traded futures and options are recorded at market, based on closing exchange prices. As of March 31, 2002, Select Energy has calculated the market price resulting from a 10 percent unfavorable change in forward market prices. That 10 percent change would result in approximately a $15.5 million decline in the fair value of the Select Energy trading portfolio. In the normal course of business, Select Energy also faces risks that are either nonfinancial or nonquantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk, which is not reflected in the aforementioned sensitivity analysis. Commodity Price Risk - Nontrading Activities: Select Energy utilizes derivative financial and commodity instruments (derivatives), including futures and forward contracts, to reduce market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas sold under firm commitments with certain customers. Select Energy also utilizes derivatives, including price swap agreements, call and put option contracts, and futures and forward contracts, to manage the market risk associated with a portion of its anticipated supply requirements. These derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments. When conducting sensitivity analysis of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity, natural gas and oil nontrading portfolio, which would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity, natural gas and oil, the fair value of the contracts are determined from models which take into account estimated future market prices of electricity, natural gas and oil, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the underlying commitments. In most instances, market prices and volatility are determined from quoted prices on the futures exchange. Select Energy has determined a hypothetical change in the fair value for its nontrading electricity, natural gas and oil contracts, assuming a 10 percent unfavorable change in forward market prices. As of March 31, 2002, an unfavorable 10 percent change in forward market price would have resulted in a decline in fair value of approximately $35.3 million. The impact of a change in electricity, natural gas and oil prices on Select Energy's nontrading contracts on March 31, 2002, is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts are physically delivered. Select Energy also maintains natural gas service agreements with certain customers to supply gas at fixed prices for terms extending through 2004. Select Energy has hedged its gas supply risk under these agreements through New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) contracts. Under these contracts, the purchase price of a specified quantity of gas is effectively fixed over the term of the gas service agreements, which extend through 2004. As of March 31, 2002, the NYMEX contracts had a notional value of $60.9 million and a mark- to-market asset value of $1.2 million. Derivative Cash Flow Hedge Accounting: During the first quarter of 2002, $13.7 million in income, net of tax, was reclassified from other comprehensive income upon the conclusion of derivative cash flow hedge transactions and recognized in earnings. An additional $0.6 million of income, net of tax, was recognized in earnings for those derivatives that were determined to be ineffective. Currently, the cash flow hedge transactions entered into hedge cash flows through 2004. As a result of these new transactions and market value changes since January 1, 2002, other comprehensive income increased by $19.8 million, net of tax. Accumulated other comprehensive loss at March 31, 2002, was $3.4 million, net of tax (reduction to equity), relating to hedged transactions and it is estimated that $1 million, net of tax, will be reclassified as a charge to earnings within the next twelve months. Cash flows from the hedge contracts are reported in the same category as cash flows from the hedged activities. 18. Special Deposits Special deposits include cash collateral posted in connection with various power purchase and sales agreements. QUARTERLY REPORT OF SELECT ENERGY, INC.
