DEPRECIATION STUDY
CALCULATED ANNUAL DEPRECIATION ACCRUALS RELATED TO GENERAL PLANT
AS OF DECEMBER 31,2004
PART I . INTRODUCTION
SCOPE
This report presents the results of the depreciation study prepared for Oklahoma
Gas and Electric Company - Holding Company ("Company") as applied to general plant
in service as of December 31, 2004. It relates to the concepts, methods and basic
judgments which underlie recommended annual depreciation accrual rates related to
current general plant in service.
The service life estimates resulting from the study were based on informed judgment
which incorporated analyses of historical plant retirement data for the electric utility of
Oklahoma Gas and Electric plant as recorded through 2002; the net salvage analyses of
historical plant retirement data for the electric utility of Oklahoma Gas and Electric plant
recorded through 2002; a review of Company practice and outlook as they relate to plant
operation and retirement; and consideration of current practice in the utility industry,
including knowledge of service life and salvage estimates used for other general plant
assets.
PLAN OF REPORT
Part I includes brief statements of the scope and basis of the study. Part II presents
descriptions of the methods used in the service life and salvage studies and the methods
and procedures used in the calculation of depreciation. Part 111 presents the results of the
1-2
study, including a summary table and detailed tabulations of the calculated remaining lives
and annual accruals.
BASIS OF STUDY
Deweciation
For some accounts, the annual depreciation was calculated by the straight line
method using the average service life procedure and the remaining life basis. For the
remaining plant accounts, the annual depreciation was based on amortization accounting.
The calculated remaining lives and annual depreciation accrual rates were based on
attained ages of plant in service and the estimated service life and salvage characteristics
of each depreciable group.
Survivor Curve and Net Salvaae Estimates
The procedure for estimating survivor curves, which define service lives and
remaining lives, consisted of compiling historical service life data for the plant accounts or
other depreciable groups, analyzing the historical data base through the use of accepted
techniques, and forecasting the survivor characteristics for each depreciable account or
group. These forecasts were based on interpretations of the historical data analyses and
the expectations of future survivors. The combination of the historical data and the
estimated future trend yields a complete pattern of life characteristics, Le., a survivor curve,
from which the average service life and remaining service life are derived.
The historical data analyzed for life estimation purposes were compiled through
2002 from the Company’s fixed asset records for the OG&E electric utility. Such data
included plant additions, retirements, transfers and other activity recorded by the Company
for each of its plant accounts and subaccounts,
1-3
The estimates of net salvage by account incorporated a review of experienced costs
of removal and salvage related to plant retirements, and consideration of trends exhibited
by the historical data for the OG&E electric utility. Each component of net salvage, Le.,
cost of removal and salvage, was stated in dollars and as a percent of retirement.
An understanding of the function of the plant and information with respect to the
reasons for past retirements and the expected causes of future retirements was obtained
through discussions with operating and management personnel. The supplemental
information obtained in this manner was considered in the interpretation and extrapolation
of the statistical analyses.
Calculation of Depreciation
The depreciation accrual rates were calculated using the straight line method, the
remaining life basis and the average service life depreciation procedure. The continuation
of amortization accounting for certain accounts is recommended because of the
disproportionate plant accounting effort required when compared to the minimal original
cost of the large number of items in these accounts. An explanation of the calculation of
annual and accrued amortization is presented on page 11-28 of the report.

PART 11. METHODS USED IN THE ESTIMATION OF DEPRECIATION
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation, as defined in the Uniform System of Accounts, is the loss in service
value not restored by current maintenance, incurred in connection with the consumption
or prospective retirement of electric and gas plant in the course of service from causes
which are known to be in current operation and against which the utility is not protected by
insurance. Among the causes to be given consideration are wear and tear, decay, action
of the elements, inadequacy, obsolescence, changes in the art, changes in demand,
requirements of public authorities, and, in the case of natural gas companies, the
exhaustion of natural resources.
Depreciation, as used in accounting, is a method of distributing fixed capital costs,
less net salvage, over a period of time by allocating annual amounts to expense. Each
annual amount of such depreciation expense is part of that year's total cost of providing
utility service. Normally, the period of time over which the fixed capital cost is allocated to
the cost of service is equal to the period of time over which an item renders service, that
is, the item's service life. The most prevalent method of allocation is to distribute an equal
amount of cost to each year of service life. This method is known as the straight line
method of depreciation.
The calculation of annual depreciation based on the straight line method requires
the estimation of average life and salvage. These subjects are discussed in the sections
which follow.
11-2
SERVICE LIFE AND NET SALVAGE ESTIMATION
Averase Service Life
The use of an average service life for a property group implies that the various units
in the group have different lives. Thus, the average life may be obtained by determining
the separate lives of each of the units, or by constructing a survivor curve by plotting the
number of units which survive at successive ages. A discussion of the general concept of
survivor curves is presented. Also, the Iowa type survivor curves are reviewed.
Survivor Curves
The survivor curve graphically depicts the amount of property existing at each age
throughout the life of an original group. From the survivor curve, the average life of the
group, the remaining life expectancy, the probable life, and the frequency curve can be
calculated. In Figure 1, a typical smooth survivor curve and the derived curves are
illustrated. The average life is obtained by calculating the area under the survivor curve,
from age zero to the maximum age, and dividing this area by the ordinate at age zero. The
remaining life expectancy at any age can be calculated by obtaining the area under the
curve, from the observation age to the maximum age, and dividing this area by the percent
surviving at the observation age. For example, in Figure 1 , the remaining life at age 30 is
equal to the crosshatched area under the survivor curve divided by 29.5 percent surviving
at age 30. The probable life at any age is developed by adding the age and remaining life.
If the probable life of the property is calculated for each year of age, the probable life curve
shown in the chart can be developed. The frequency curve presents the number of units
retired in each age interval and is derived by obtaining the differences between the amount
of property surviving at the beginning and at the end of each interval.
11-3
Iowa TvDe Curves. The range of survivor characteristics usually experienced by
utility and industrial properties is encompassed by a system of generalized survivor curves
known as the Iowa type curves. There are four families in the Iowa system, labeled in
accordance with the location of the modes of the retirements in relationship to the average
life and the relative height of the modes. The left moded or L curves, presented in Figure
2, are those in which the greatest frequency of retirement occurs to the left of, or prior to,
average service life. The symmetrical moded or S curves, presented in Figure 3, are those
in which the greatest frequency of retirement occurs at average service life. The right
moded or R curves, presented in Figure 4, are those in which the greatest frequency
occurs to the right of, or after, average service life. The origin moded or 0 curves,
presented in Figure 5, are those in which the greatest frequency of retirement occurs at the
origin, or immediately after age zero. The letter designation of each family of curves (L,
SI R or 0) represents the location of the mode of the associated frequency curve with
respect to the average service life. The numerical subscripts represent the relative heights
of the modes of the frequency curves within each family.
The Iowa curves were developed at the Iowa State College Engineering Experiment
Station through an extensive process of observation and classification of the ages at which
industrial property had been retired. A report of the study which resulted in the
classification of property survivor characteristics into 1 8 type curves, which constitute three
of the four families, was published in 1935 in the form of the Experiment Station's Bulletin
125.' These type curves have also been presented in subsequent Experiment Station
'Winfrey, Robley. Statistical Analvses of Industrial ProPertv Retirements. Iowa State College, Engineering Experiment Station, Bulletin 125. 1935.

B.Couch, Jr., an Iowa State College graduate student, submitted a thesis3 presenting his
development of the fourth family consisting of the four 0 type survivor curves.
Retirement Rate Method of Analvsis
The retirement rate method is an actuarial method of deriving survivor curves using
the average rates at which property of each age group is retired. The method relates to
property groups for which aged accounting experience is available or for which aged
accounting experience is developed by statistically aging unaged amounts and is the
method used to develop the original stub survivor curves in this study. The method (also
known as the annual rate method) is illustrated through the use of an example in the
following text, and is also explained in several publications, including "Statistical Analyses
of Industrial Property retirement^,"^ "Engineering Valuation and Depreciati~n,"~ and
"Depreciation Systems."6
The average rate of retirement used in the calculation of the percent surviving for
the survivor curve (life table) requires two sets of data: first, the property retired during a
period of observation, identified by the property's age at retirement; and
second, the

property exposed to retirement at the beginnings of the age intervals during the same
period. The period of observation is referred to as the experience band, and the band of
years which represent the installation dates of the property exposed to retirement during
the experience band is referred to as the placement band. An example of the calculations
used in the development of a life table follows. The example includes schedules of annual
aged property transactions, a schedule of plant exposed to retirement, a life table and
illustrations of smoothing the stub survivor curve.
Schedules of Annual Transactions in Plant Records. The property group used to
illustrate the retirement rate method is observed for the experience band 1995-2004 during
which there were placements during the years 1990-2004. In order to illustrate the
summation of the aged data by age interval, the data were compiled in the manner
presented in Tables 1 and 2 on pages 11-12 and 11-13. In Table 1, the year of installation
(year placed) and the year of retirement are shown. The age interval during which a *<*+ ..-v&+- rl+. ' e -
retirement occurred is determined from this information. In the example which follows,
$10,000 of the dollars invested in 1990 were retired in 1995. The $10,000 retirement
occurred during the age interval between 4% and 5% years on the basis that approximately
one-half of the amount of property was installed prior to and subsequent to July 1 of each
year. That is, on the average, property installed during a year is placed in service at the
midpoint of the year for the purpose of the analysis. All retirements also are stated as
occurring at the midpoint of a one-year age interval of time, except the first age interval
which encompasses only one-half year.
The total retirements occurring in each age interval in a band are determined by
summing the amounts for each transaction year-installation year combination for that age

interval. For example, the total of $143,000 retired for age interval 4%5% is the sum of
the retirements entered on Table 1 immediately above the stairstep line drawn on the table
beginning with the 1995 retirements of 1990 installations and ending with the 2004
retirements of the 1998 installations. Thus, the total amount of 143 for age interval 4%-5%
equals the sum of:
10 + 12 + 13 + 11 + 13 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 20.
In Table 2, other transactions which affect the group are recorded in a similar
manner. The entries illustrated include transfers and sales. The entries which are credits
to the plant account are shown in parentheses. The items recorded on this schedule are
not totaled with the retirements, but are used in developing the exposures at the beginning
of each age interval.
Schedule of Plant Exposed to Retirement. The development of the amount of plant
exposed to retirement at the beginning of each age interval is illustrated in Table 3 on page
11-15.
The surviving plant at the beginning of each year from 1995 through 2004 is
recorded by year in the portion of the table headed "Annual Survivors at the Beginning of
the Year." The last amount entered in each column is the amount of new plant added to
the group during the year. The amounts entered in Table 3 for each successive year
following the beginning balance or addition are obtained by adding or subtracting the net
entries shown on Tables 1 and 2. For the purpose of determining the plant exposed to
retirement, transfers-in are considered as being exposed to retirement in this group at the
beginning of the vear in which they occurred, and the sales and transfers-out are
considered to be removed from the plant exposed to retirement at the beqinninq of the
followina vear.

a Additions during the year.
Thus, the amounts of plant shown at the beginning of each year are the amounts of plant
from each placement year considered to be exposed to retirement at the beginning of each
successive transaction year. For example, the exposures for the installation year 1999 are
calculated in the following manner:
Exposures at age 0 = amount of addition = $750,000 Exposures at age W = $750,000 - $8,000 = $742,000 Exposures at age 1% = $742,000 - $18,000 = $724,000 Exposures at age 2% = $724,000 - $20,000 - $19,000 = $685,000 Exposures at age 3% = $685,000 - $22,000 = $663,000
For the entire experience band 1995-204, the total exposures at the beginning of
an age interval are obtained by summing diagonally in a manner similar to the summing
of the retirements during an age interval (Table 1). For example, the figure of 3,789,

Original Life Table. The original life table, illustrated in Table 4 on page 11-17, is
developed from the totals shown on the schedules of retirements and exposures, Tables
1 and 3, respectively. The exposures at the beginning of the age interval are obtained from
the corresponding age interval of the exposure schedule, and the retirements during the
age interval are obtained from the corresponding age interval of the retirement schedule.
The retirement ratio is the result of dividing the retirements during the age interval by the
exposures at the beginning of the age interval. The percent surviving at the beginning of
each age interval is derived from survivor ratios, each of which equals one

minus the retirement ratio. The percent surviving is developed by starting with 100% at
age zero and successively multiplying the percent surviving at the beginning of each
interval by the survivor ratio, i.e., one minus the retirement ratio for that age interval. The
calculations necessary to determine the percent surviving at age 5% are as follows:
88.15 Exposures at age 4% = 3,789,000 Retirements from age 4% to 5% = 143,000 Retirement Ratio = 143,000 +3,789,000 = 0.0377 Survivor Ratio - Percent surviving at age 5% = (88.15) x (0.9623) = 84.83
- - Percent surviving at age 4%
1.000 - 0.0377 = 0.9623 -
The totals of the exposures and retirements (columns 2 and 3) are shown for the
purpose of checking with the respective totals in Tables 1 and 3. The ratio of the total
retirements to the total exposures, other than for each age interval, is meaningless.
The original survivor curve is plotted from the original life table (column 6, Table 4).
When the curve terminates at a percent surviving greater than zero, it is called a stub
survivor curve. Survivor curves developed from retirement rate studies generally are stub
curves.
Srnoothina the Oriainal Survivor Curve. The smoothing of the original survivor curve
eliminates any irregularities and serves as the basis for the preliminary extrapolation to
zero percent surviving of the original stub curve. Even if the original survivor curve is
complete from 100% to zero percent, it is desirable to eliminate any irregularities, as there
is still an extrapolation for the vintages which have not yet lived to the age at which the
curve reaches zero percent. In this study, the smoothing of the original curve with estab-
lished type curves was used to eliminate irregularities in the original curve.
The Iowa type curves are used in this study to smooth those original stub curves
which are expressed as percents surviving at ages in years. Each original survivor curve
was compared to the Iowa curves using visual and mathematical matching in order to
11-18
determine the better fitting smooth curves. In Figures 6, 7, and 8, the original curve
developed in Table 4 is compared with the L, SI and R Iowa type curves which most nearly
fit the original survivor curve. In Figure 6, the L1 curve with an average life between 12 and
1 3 years appears to be the best fit. In Figure 7, the SO type curve with a 12-year average
life appears to be the best fit and appears to be better than the L1 fitting. In Figure 8, the
R I type curve with a 12-year average life appears to be the best fit and appears to be
better than either the L l or the SO. In Figure 9, the three fittings, 12-L1, 12-SO and 12-R1
are drawn for comparison purposes. It is probable that the 12-R1 Iowa curve would be
selected as the most representative of the plotted survivor characteristics of the group,
assuming no contrary relevant factors external to the analysis of historical data.
Simulated Plant Balance Method
The Simulated plant balance method of life analysis is a statistical procedure by
which experienced average service life and survivor characteristics are inferred through a
series of approximations in which several average service life and survivor curve
combinations are tested. The testing procedure consists of applying survivor ratios defined
by the average service life and survivor curve combinations being tested to historical plant
additions and comparing the resulting calculated, or simulated, surviving balances with the
actual surviving balances.

Each year-end book balance is the sum of the plant surviving from the original
annual additions. Each calculated year-end balance is the sum of the simulated plant
surviving from the same original annual additions. The simulated survivors are calculated
for each vintage by multiplying the original additions by the percent surviving corresponding
to the age of the vintage as of the date of the yearend balances being simulated. This
procedure is repeated until a series of simulated balances is calculated. The balances are
then compared with the book balances to determine which average service life and survivor
curve combinations result in calculated balances most nearly simulating the progression
of actual balances.
The simulated plant balance method is presented in greater detail in the Edison
Electric Institute’s publication, “Methods of Estimating Utility Plant Life’’.7
Service Life Considerations
The service life estimates were based on judgment which considered a number of
factors. The primary factors were the current Company policies and outlook as determined
during conversations with management and the survivor curve estimates from previous
studies of both the holding company and the electric utility assets as well as other utility
companies.
For the 10 plant accounts and subaccounts for which survivor curves were
estimated, the statistical analyses using the retirement rate or simulated plant record
methods did not provide specific indicators of survivor patterns. Therefore, judgment
incorporating the estimates of other utilities was a major factor in determining service life.

11-24
These accounts represent 8 percent of depreciable plant. The estimates of the remaining
accounts were based on amortization periods.
Salvaqe Analvsis
The estimates of net salvage by account were based in part on historical data
compiled through 2002 for the OG&E electric utility. Cost of removal and salvage were
expressed as percents of the original cost of plant retired, both on annual and three-year
moving average bases. The most recent five-year average also was calculated for
consideration. The net salvage estimates by account are expressed as a percent of the
original cost of plant retired.
Net Salvaqe Considerations
The estimates of future net salvage are expressed as percentages of surviving plant
in service, i.e., all future retirements. In cases in which removal costs are expected to
exceed salvage receipts, a negative net salvage percentage is estimated. The net salvage
estimates were based on judgment which incorporated analyses of historical cost of
removal and salvage data, expectations with respect to future removal requirements and
markets for retired transportation and power operated equipment.
Statistical analyses for the transportation equipment subaccount and power
operated equipment account of the OG&E electric utility were utilized in determining a
reasonable net salvage percent. All other accounts were amortized, therefore, a zero
percent for net salvage was recommended.
CALCULATION OF ANNUAL AND ACCRUED DEPRECIATION
After the survivor curve and salvage are estimated, the annual depreciation accrual
rate can be calculated. In the average service life procedure, the annual accrual rate is
computed by the following equation:
(100% - Net Salvage, Percenf) Average Sewice Life
Annual Accrual Rate, Percent =
11-25
The calculated accrued depreciation for each depreciable property group represents that
portion of the depreciable cost of the group which will not be allocated to expense through
future depreciation accruals if current forecasts of life characteristics are used as a basis
for straight line depreciation accounting.
The accrued depreciation calculation consists of applying an appropriate ratio to the
surviving original cost of each vintage of each account, based upon the attained age and
the estimated survivor curve. The accrued depreciation ratios are calculated as follows:
Average Remaining Life Expectancy Average Service Life
- Net Salvage, Pen=enf). Ratio = (1 -
The application of these procedures is described for a single unit of property and
a group of property units. Salvage is omitted from the description for ease of application.
Sinale Unit of ProDertv
The calculation of straight line depreciation for a single unit of property is
straightforward. For example, if a $1,000 unit of property attains an age of four years and
has a life expectancy of six years, the annual accrual over the total life is:
$'*Oo0 = $100 per year. (4 + 6)
The accrued depreciation is:
6 10
$1,000 (1 - -) = $400.
Group Depreciation Procedures
When more than a single item of property is under consideration, a group procedure
for depreciation is appropriate because normally all of the items within a group do not have
11-26
identical service lives, but have lives that are dispersed over a range of time. There are
two primary group procedures, namely, average service life and equal life group.
Remainina Life Annual Accruals. For the purpose of calculating remaining life
accruals as of December 31, 2004, the depreciation reserve for each plant account is
allocated among vintages in proportion to the calculated accrued depreciation for the
account. Explanations of remaining life accruals and calculated accrued depreciation
follow. The detailed calculations as of December 31, 2004, are set forth in the Results of
Study section of the report.
Averaae Service Life Procedure. In the average service life procedure, the
remaining life annual accrual for each vintage is determined by dividing future book
accruals (original cost less book reserve) by the average remaining life of the vintage. The
average remaining life is a directly weighted average derived from the estimated future
survivor curve in accordance with the average service life procedure.
The calculated accrued depreciation for each depreciable property group represents
that portion of the depreciable cost of the group which would not be allocated to expense
through future depreciation accruals, if current forecasts of life characteristics are used as
the basis for such accruals. The accrued depreciation calculation consists of applying an
appropriate ratio to the surviving original cost of each vintage of each account, based upon
the attained age and service life. The straight line accrued depreciation ratios are
calculated as follows for the average service life procedure:
Average Remaining Life Average Service Life ’
Ratio =
11-27
CALCULATION OF ANNUAL AND ACCRUED AMORTIZATION
Amortization, as defined in the Uniform System of Accounts, is the gradual
extinguishment of an amount in an account by distributing such amount over a fixed period,
over the life of the asset or liability to which it applies, or over the period during which it is
anticipated the benefit will be realized. Normally, the distribution of the amount is in equal
amounts to each year of the amortization period.
The calculation of annual and accrued amortization requires the selection of an
amortization period. The amortization periods used in this report were based on judgment
which incorporated a consideration of the period during which the assets will render most
of their service, the amortization periods and service lives used by other utilities, and the
service life estimates previously used for the asset under depreciation accounting.
Amortization accounting is appropriate for certain General Plant accounts that
represent numerous units of property, but a very small portion of depreciable plant in
service. The accounts and their amortization periods are as follows:

For the purpose of calculating annual amortization amounts as of December 31,
2004, the book or ratemaking book depreciation reserve for each plant account or
subaccount is assigned or allocated to vintages. The reserve assigned to vintages with an
age greater than the amortization period is equal to the vintage’s original cost. The
remaining reserve is allocated among vintages with an age less than the amortization
period in proportion to the calculated accrued amortization. The calculated accrued
amortization is equal to the original cost multiplied by the ratio of the vintage’s age to its
amortization period. The annual amortization amount is determined by dividing the future
amortizations (original cost less allocated book reserve) by the remaining period of
amortization for the vintage.

PART 111. RESULTS OF STUDY
QUALIFICATION OF RESULTS
The calculated annual depreciation accrual rates are the principal results of the
study. Continued surveillance and periodic revisions are normally required to maintain
continued use of appropriate annual depreciation accrual rates. An assumption that
accrual rates can remain unchanged over a long period of time implies a disregard for the
inherent variability in service lives and salvage and for the change of the composition of
property in service. The annual accrual rates were calculated in accordance with the
straight line remaining life method of depreciation using the annual service life procedure
based on estimates which reflect considerations of current historical evidence and
expected future conditions.
The annual depreciation accrual rates are applicable specifically to the general plant
in service as of December 31, 2004. For most plant accounts, the application of such
rates to future balances that reflect additions subsequent to December 31, 2004, is
reasonable for a period of three to five years.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPRECIATION TABULATIONS
A summary of the results of the study, as applied to the original cost of general
plant at December 31,2004, is presented on page 111-4 of this report. The schedule sets
forth the original cost, the book reserve, future accruals, the calculated annual depreciation
rate and amount, and the corhposite remaining life related to general plant.
