Derivative Instruments, Market Risk Information and Other Risk Management Activities

A.

Derivative Instruments

Derivatives that are utilized for trading purposes are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings.  Other contracts that are derivatives but do not meet the definition of a cash flow or fair value hedge and cannot be designated as normal purchases or normal sales are also recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings.  For those contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and meet the cash flow hedge requirements, the changes in the fair value of the effective portion of those contracts are generally recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions occur.  For contracts that meet the definition of a derivative but do not meet the hedging requirements, and for the ineffective portion of contracts that meet the cash flow hedge requirements, the changes in fair value of those contracts are recognized currently in earnings.  Derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges and the item they are hedging are both recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets.  Derivative contracts that are entered into as a normal purchase or sale and are probable of resulting in physical delivery, and are documented as such, are recorded under accrual accounting.  

There was no material impact recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges.  A pre-tax negative $4.2 million was recognized in earnings for the ineffective portion of fair value hedges.  The changes in the fair value of both the fair value hedges and the natural gas inventory being hedged are recorded in purchased power, net interchange power and capacity on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.  

The tables below summarize the derivative assets and liabilities at September 30, 2004.  The business activities of NU Enterprises that result in the recognition of derivative assets include concentrations of credit risk to energy marketing and trading counterparties.  At September 30, 2004, Select Energy has $178.2 million of derivative assets from trading, non-trading, and hedging activities.  These assets are exposed to counterparty credit risk.  However, a significant portion of these assets is contracted with investment grade rated counterparties or collateralized with cash.  The amounts below do not include option premiums paid, which are recorded as prepayments and amounted to $4.4 million related to energy trading activities and $9 million related to marketing activities at September 30, 2004.  These amounts also do not include option premiums received, which are recorded as other current liabilities and amounted to $7 million related to energy trading activities and $1.9 million related to marketing activities at September 30, 2004.

(Millions of Dollars)	Assets	Liabilities		Total
Trading	$  94.0	$  (71.0)	$23.0
Non-trading	3.3	(2.3)	1.0
Hedging	80.9	(84.9)	(4.0)
Total	$178.2	$(158.2)	$20.0

Trading: To gather market intelligence and utilize this information in risk management activities for the wholesale marketing activities, Select Energy conducts limited energy trading activities in electricity, natural gas, and oil, and therefore, experiences net open positions.  Select Energy manages these open positions with strict policies that limit its exposure to market risk and require daily reporting to management of potential financial exposures.  

Derivatives used in trading activities are recorded at fair value and included in the consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities.  Changes in fair value are recognized in operating revenues in the consolidated statements of income in the period of change.  The net fair value position of the trading portfolio at September 30, 2004 was assets of $23 million.

Select Energy's trading portfolio includes New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) futures, financial swaps, and options, the fair value of which is based on closing exchange prices; over-the-counter forwards, financial swaps, and options, the fair value of which is based on the mid-point of bid and ask market prices; and bilateral contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity or natural gas, the fair value of which is determined using available information from external sources.  Select Energy's trading portfolio also includes transmission congestion contracts (TCC).  The fair value of the TCCs included in the trading portfolio is based on published market data.  

 Non-Trading: Non-trading derivative contracts are used for delivery of energy related to Select Energy's wholesale and retail marketing activities.  These contracts are subject to fair value accounting because these contracts are derivatives that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales, as defined.  These contracts cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales either because they are included in the New York energy market which settles financially or because management did not elect the normal purchases and sales designation.  Changes in fair value of a positive $0.2 million of non-trading derivative contracts were recorded in revenues in the first nine months of 2004.  

Market information for the TCCs classified as non-trading is not available and those contracts cannot be reliably valued.  Management believes the amounts paid for these contracts, which total $5.4 million at September 30, 2004, and are included in premiums paid, are equal to their fair value.  

Hedging:  Select Energy utilizes derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures and forward contracts, to reduce market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas purchased to meet firm sales and purchase commitments to 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 and delivery requirements.  These derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and are used to reduce the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity or natural gas.  A derivative that hedges exposure to the variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (a cash flow hedge) is initially recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.  Cash flow hedges impact net income when the forecasted transaction being hedged occurs, when hedge ineffectiveness is measured and recorded, when the forecasted transaction being hedged is no longer probable of occurring, or when there is accumulated other comprehensive loss and the hedge and the forecasted transaction being hedged are in a loss position on a combined basis.  

Select Energy maintains natural gas service agreements with certain customers to supply gas at fixed prices for terms extending through 2006.  Select Energy has hedged its gas supply risk under these agreements through NYMEX futures contracts.  Under these contracts, which also extend through 2006, the purchase price of a specified quantity of gas is effectively fixed over the term of the gas service agreements.  At September 30, 2004 the NYMEX futures contracts had notional values of $88.3 million and were recorded at fair value as derivative assets of $18.9 million.  

Select Energy also maintains various physical and financial instruments to hedge its electric and gas purchases and sales through 2006.  These instruments include forwards, futures, options, financial collars, swaps and financial transmission rights.  These hedging contracts, which are valued at the mid-point of bid and ask market prices, were recorded as derivative assets of $62 million and derivative liabilities of $84.5 million at September 30, 2004.  

Select Energy hedges certain amounts of natural gas inventory with gas futures, options and swaps, some of which are accounted for as fair value hedges.  The changes in fair value of the futures, options and swaps were recorded as derivative liabilities of $0.4 million at September 30, 2004.  During the third quarter, a change in the fair value of hedged natural gas inventory of a negative $4.3 million was recorded along with the change in the fair value of the hedge of a positive $0.1 million.  In September 2004, certain of these fair value hedges were redesignated as cash flow hedges, and future changes in fair value will be included in other comprehensive income (equity), unless ineffective.

B.

Market Risk Information

Select Energy utilizes the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose 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.  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, fair 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 fair value based on closing exchange prices.

Wholesale and Retail Marketing Portfolio:  When conducting sensitivity analyses of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity, natural gas and oil on the wholesale and retail marketing portfolio, which would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity, natural gas and oil, the fair values of the contracts are determined from models that take into consideration 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 wholesale and retail marketing portfolio, which includes cash flow hedges and electricity, natural gas and oil contracts, assuming a 10 percent change in forward market prices. At September 30, 2004, a 10 percent change in market price would have resulted in an increase in fair value of $47.4 million or a decrease in fair value of $45.1 million.

The impact of a change in electricity, natural gas and oil prices on Select Energy's wholesale and retail marketing portfolio at September 30, 2004, is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts are physically delivered.

Trading Contracts:  At September 30, 2004, Select Energy has calculated the market price resulting from a 10 percent change in forward market prices.  That 10 percent change would result in approximately a $1.1 million increase or decrease in the fair value of the Select Energy trading portfolio. In the normal course of business, Select Energy also faces risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable.  These risks principally include credit risk, which is not reflected in this sensitivity analysis.

C.

Other Risk Management Activities

Credit Risk Management:  Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that NU would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of its contractual obligations.  NU serves a wide variety of customers and suppliers that include independent power producers, industrial companies, gas and electric utilities, oil and gas producers, financial

institutions, and other energy marketers.  Margin accounts exist within this diverse group, and NU realizes interest receipts and payments related to balances outstanding in these margin accounts.  This wide customer and supplier mix generates a need for a variety of contractual structures, products and terms which, in turn, requires NU to manage the portfolio of market risk inherent in those transactions in a manner consistent with the parameters established by NU’s risk management process.

Credit risks and market risks at NU Enterprises are monitored regularly by a Risk Oversight Council operating outside of the business lines that create or actively manage these risk exposures to ensure compliance with NU’s stated risk management policies.  

NU tracks and re-balances the risk in its portfolio in accordance with fair value and other risk management methodologies that utilize forward price curves in the energy markets to estimate the size and probability of future potential exposure.

NYMEX traded futures and option contracts cleared off the NYMEX exchange are ultimately guaranteed by NYMEX to Select Energy.  Select Energy has established written credit policies with regard to its counterparties to minimize overall credit risk on all types of transactions.  These policies require an evaluation of potential counterparties’ financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances (including cash in advance, letters of credit, and parent guarantees), and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty.  This evaluation results in establishing credit limits prior to Select Energy entering into energy contracts.  The appropriateness of these limits is subject to continuing review.  Concentrations among these counterparties may impact Select Energy’s overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes to economic, regulatory or other conditions.

At September 30, 2004, Select Energy maintained collateral balances from counterparties of $67.4 million.  These amounts are included in both cash and cash equivalents and other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
