THE CONNECTICUT LIGHT AND POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
<F1>1.General
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Annual Report of The Connecticut Light and Power Company
(the company or CL&P), a wholly owned subsidiary of Northeast Utilities (NU) on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 (1994 Form 10-K). In the opinion
of the company, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 1995, the
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, and
the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994
are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for a full year.
Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform with
the current period presentation.
<F2>2.Capitalization
On January 23, 1995, CL&P Capital, L.P. (CL&P LP) issued $100 million of
cumulative 9.3% Monthly Income Preferred Securities (MIPS), Series A. CL&P has
the sole ownership interest in CL&P LP, as a general partner, and is the
guarantor of the MIPS securities. Subsequent to the MIPS issuance, CL&P LP
loaned the proceeds of the MIPS issuance, along with CL&P's $3.1 million capital
contribution, back to CL&P in the form of an unsecured debenture. CL&P
consolidates CL&P LP for financial reporting purposes. Upon consolidation, the
unsecured debenture is eliminated, and the MIPS securities are accounted for as
a minority interest.
During the first quarter of 1995, the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of
MIPS, along with the proceeds of short-term debt, were used for redemption,
reacquisition or payment at maturity of $67.5 million of CL&P's 1989 Series, 9
percent Preferred Stock and $50 million of variable-rate 1989 Dutch Auction Rate
Transferable Securities.
<F3>3.Derivative Financial Instruments
CL&P uses fuel-swap agreements with financial institutions to hedge against
well-defined fuel-price risk created by negotiated energy contracts. CL&P does
not use them for trading purposes. These fuel swaps minimize exposure
associated with rising fuel prices and effectively fix CL&P's cost of fuel for
these negotiated energy contracts. Under the swap agreements, CL&P exchanges
monthly payments based on the differential between a fixed and variable price
for the associated fuel. As of March 31, 1995, CL&P had outstanding agreements
with a total notional value of approximately $192 million, and a positive mark-
to-market position of approximately $1.9 million. These swap agreements have
been made with various financial institutions, each of which are rated "A" or
better by Standard & Poor's rating group.
CL&P is exposed to credit risk on its fuel swaps if the counterparties fail to
perform their obligations. However, management anticipates that the
counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the
contracts.
For further information on Derivative Financial Instruments, see the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in CL&P's 1994 Form 10-K.
<F4>4.Commitments and Contingencies
Construction Program: For information regarding CL&P's construction program,
see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in CL&P's 1994 Form 10-K.
Nuclear Performance: Regarding the decisions for each of the five prudence
reviews related to outages that occurred over the period October 1990 through
February 1992 at the Millstone nuclear units, the Office of Consumer Counsel
(OCC) had appealed two of the decisions favorable to CL&P. The OCC has prevailed
in both appeals on a procedural issue and the cases have been remanded to the
DPUC for further proceedings.
Management's ongoing evaluation of the current Millstone 2 extended refueling
and maintenance outage that began on October 1, 1994 has concluded that, based
on currently available information, the unit is not expected to return to
service before June 1995. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q for additional
information on the Millstone 2 outage.

CONNECTICUT LIGHT AND POWER AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
This section contains management's assessment CL&P's (the company) financial
condition and the principal factors having an impact on the results of
operations. The company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northeast Utilities
(NU). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the company's
consolidated financial statements, footnotes and management's discussion and
analysis in the 1994 Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Overview
The company's net income decreased to approximately $66 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1995, from approximately $69 million for the same period
in 1994. The decrease in net income from 1994 is primarily attributable to
lower retail kilowatt-hour sales as a result of extremely mild weather in the
first three months of 1995. CL&P's retail kilowatt-hour sales for 1995 were
down by approximately 6 percent from 1994, which had colder than normal weather
in the first three months. The impact of lower sales in 1995 was partially
offset by the deferral of CL&P cogeneration expenses.
Nuclear Performance
The composite capacity factor of the five nuclear generating units that the NU
system operates -- including the Connecticut Yankee nuclear unit -- was 65.6
percent for the three months ended March 31, 1995, as compared with 66.9 percent
for the same period in 1994. The lower 1995 capacity factor was primarily the
result of an extended refueling and maintenance outage for Millstone 2.
On October 1, 1994, Millstone Unit 2 was shut down for a planned 63-day
refueling and maintenance outage. The outage has encountered several unexpected
difficulties which have lengthened the duration of the outage. The outage
extension was primarily caused by a significant scope increase in service water
system repairs as identified through a comprehensive inspection plan, and by a
need for management to exercise a deliberate approach to the conduct of work
during the early portion of the outage. The outage has been further extended
for one month (from May to June) based on a detailed analysis of the work
remaining to be performed, and the need to adequately train the plant's licensed
operators in the use of revised emergency operating procedures. The outage
schedule is currently under review, but the unit is not expected to return to
service until June 1995 following a Nuclear Regulatory Commission assessment of
the unit's readiness to restart. Total replacement-power costs attributable to
the extension of the outage for CL&P are expected to be in the range of $7
million per month. In addition, CL&P's share of operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs to be incurred during the outage are estimated to be $46 million, an
increase of approximately $19 million as a result of the extended outage. O&M
costs associated with the refueling outage are deferred and amortized through
rates for CL&P. The recovery of the replacement-power and O&M costs is subject
to prudence reviews in Connecticut.
CL&P has a mechanism that has been in operation since 1979 designed to recover
or refund certain nonnuclear fuel costs if the nuclear units do not operate at a
predetermined capacity factor (the Generation Utilization Adjustment Clause or
GUAC). For the GUAC year ended July 31, 1995, CL&P expects to defer
approximately $86 million of GUAC fuel costs for projected nuclear performance
below 72 percent. A one percent change in the GUAC factor from 72 percent
results in additional revenues to be collected or refunded of approximately $6
million. As of March 31, 1995, CL&P has reserved approximately $18 million
against the deferred GUAC costs, based on the methodology applied by the
Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) in previous GUAC decisions.
Recovery of the deferred costs will be subject to review by the DPUC.
Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (Maine Yankee) is the owner of an 860 MW
nuclear electric generating unit (the Plant). The company owns 12% of the common
stock of Maine Yankee and purchases approximately the same percentage of the
Plant's output at a rate based on Maine Yankee's costs. Like other pressurized
water reactors, the Plant has been experiencing degradation of its steam
generator tubes, primarily in the form of circumferential cracking. Until early
1995, the cracking was believed to be limited to a relatively small number of
tubes.
During the current refueling and maintenance outage that began in February 1995,
Maine Yankee detected substantially increased degradation of the steam generator
tubes. Maine Yankee is continuing to assess the extent of the cracking and
evaluating its options. The extent of tube cracking is sufficiently great that
the Plant cannot return to operation without repairs that will result in
substantial additional expenditures by Maine Yankee, with CL&P being responsible
for its pro rata share of noncapital costs under its power contract. In
addition, CL&P will incur additional costs for replacement power (estimated at
approximately $600,000 per month) until the Plant returns to service.
Maine Yankee intends to sleeve all 17,000 tubes in the Plant's three steam
generators. Maine Yankee expects that the sleeving operation would begin in
June and that the Plant would return to service near the end of 1995. The cost
to Maine Yankee of the sleeving operation has not been determined, but could be
approximately $40 million. If the capital cost of the sleeving operation
exceeds the funds available to Maine Yankee itself (which is not currently
expected), Maine Yankee might request equity contributions from its common
stockholders, including CL&P, under its capital funds agreement with them. If
requested, the stockholders are required to contribute their pro rata shares,
subject in some cases to regulatory approval.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash provided from operations increased approximately $22 million for the first
three months of 1995, as compared with the same period in 1994, primarily due to
cash payments received under a new wholesale power arrangement with the town of
Wallingford, Connecticut (Wallingford), effective January 1, 1995. Cash used
for financing activities was approximately $13 million higher in 1995, as
compared with 1994, primarily due to repayment of short-term debt, partially
offset by lower net reacquisitions and retirements of long-term debt. Cash used
for investments increased approximately $8 million in 1995, as compared with
1994, primarily due to nuclear fuel purchases in December 1993 that were
transferred to the nuclear fuel trust in January 1994, partially offset by lower
construction expenditures in 1995.
The company's construction program expenditures amounted to approximately $25
million for the first three months of 1995, as compared to approximately $33
million during the same period in 1994.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the First Quarter of 1995 with the First Quarter of
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
1994
- ----
Operating revenues decreased approximately $19 million in the first quarter of
1995, as compared with 1994. The components of the change in operating revenues
are as follows:
Changes in Operating Revenues Increase/(Decrease)
- ----------------------------- -------------------
(Millions of Dollars)
Regulatory decisions $ 20
Fuel, and purchased power cost recoveries (11)
Sales volume (28)
Sales to other utilities (4)
Other revenues 4
----
Total revenue change $(19)
====
Revenues related to regulatory decisions increased primarily because of the
retail rate increase for CL&P in July 1994 and higher conservation revenues.
Fuel and purchased power cost recoveries decreased primarily due to lower
revenues from lower energy sales to outside utilities. Sales volume decreased
as a result of lower retail kilowatt-hour sales in 1995. Retail sales decreased
6.0 percent for the first quarter of 1995 from 1994 sales level due to extremely
mild weather in the first three months of 1995 and colder than normal weather in
1994.
Fuel, purchased, and net interchange power expense increased approximately $9
million in the first quarter of 1995, as compared with 1994, primarily because
of a higher level of energy purchases from other utilities and a $5 million
increase in the reserve against deferred GUAC costs.
Other operation expense increased approximately $5 million and maintenance
expense decreased approximately $2 million. The increase in operation expense
is due primarily to higher capacity charges from Maine Yankee which is in an
extended refueling outage and higher conservation expenses. The decrease in
maintenance expense is due primarily to lower maintenance costs at the nuclear
units.
Amortization of regulatory assets, net decreased approximately $21 million in
the first quarter of 1995, as compared with 1994, primarily because of the
deferral of CL&P cogeneration expenses of $6 million per month which began in
July 1994.
Federal and state income taxes decreased approximately $20 million in the first
quarter of 1995, as compared with 1994, primarily because of lower book taxable
income and an adjustment to the tax accrual for a favorable tax ruling.
Deferred nuclear plants return decreased approximately $4 million in the first
quarter of 1995, as compared with 1994, primarily because the last five percent
of CL&P's Millstone 3 investment was phased into rates on January 1, 1995.
Other income decreased approximately $5 million in the first quarter of 1995, as
compared with 1994, primarily as a result of a settlement agreement with
Wallingford.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceeding
1. On April 12, 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
denied requests for reconsideration of its January 11, 1995 order granting
CL&P's petition concerning the Southeastern Connecticut Regional Resources
Recovery Authority project in Preston, Connecticut. In the January order, FERC
ruled that states cannot require a utility to pay qualifying facilities greater
than avoided costs. One party has appealed this decision to the United States
Court of Appeals, and further appeals are expected.
For additional information on this proceeding, see "Item 3 - Legal Proceedings"
in CL&P's 1994 Form 10-K.
Item 5.Other Information
1. On April 10, 1995, CL&P received a notice of opportunity from the
Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) to brief the issues
related to the outage at Millstone Unit 2, which ended on June 18, 1994,
involving the repair of damage to a reactor coolant pump. The notice requested
parties to submit briefs by May 3, 1995 on whether $13 million of replacement
power costs related to the outage should be recovered through rates and whether
hearings are necessary.
For additional information on this matter, see "Item 1. Business - Electric
Operations - Nuclear Generation - Millstone Units" in CL&P's 1994 Form 10-K.
