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.

THE ESTIMATION OF DEPRECIATION

11-1

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.

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.

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.

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,

shown as the total exposures at the beginning of age interval 4%5%, is obtained by

summing:

255+268+284+311 +334+374+405+448+501 +609.

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.

‘A Report of the Engineering Subcommittee of the Depreciation Accounting Committee, Edison Electric Institute. Publication No. 51 -23. Published 1952.

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.

The tables of the calculated annual depreciation accruals are presented in account

sequence in the section titled "Depreciation Calculations." The tables indicate the

estimated survivor curve and salvage percent for the account and set forth, for each
