PART 141_STATEMENTS AND REPORTS (SCHEDULES)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 141.100  Original cost statement of utility property.

    Any public utility or licensee becoming subject to the jurisdiction 
of the Commission shall file, insofar as applicable, the following 
statements properly sworn to by the officer in responsible charge of 
their compilation:

                               Statement A

    Statement A showing in outline the origin and development of the 
company including particularly a description (giving names of parties 
and dates) of each consolidation and merger to which the company, or a 
predecessor, was a party and each acquisition of an electric operating 
unit or system.

                               Statement B

    Statement B showing for each acquisition by the reporting company or 
any of its predecessors of an electric operating unit or system, the 
original cost, estimated, if not known, the cost of such company and the 
amount entered in the books in respect thereto as of the date of 
acquisition. If the depreciation, retirement, or amortization reserve 
was adjusted as of the date of acquisition and in connection therewith, 
a full disclosure of the pertinent facts should be made. The difference 
between the original cost and the amount entered in respect thereto of 
each acquisition of an electric operating unit or system, as of the date 
of acquisition, should be clearly stated, and a summary of all 
transactions affecting such difference through the end of the calendar 
year prior to the year in which the filing is made, and the resultant 
amount at the latter date, should be set forth. The amount to be 
included in account 114, Electric Plant Acquisition Adjustments, shall 
be subdivided so as to show the amounts applicable to (1) electric plant 
in service, (2) electric plant leased to others, and (3) electric plant 
held for future use. Whenever practical, such amount shall be classified 
according to nature, i.e., going value, structural value, etc.
    Where estimates are used in arriving at original cost or the amount 
to be included in account 114, a full disclosure of the method and 
underlying facts should be given. The method of determining the original 
cost of the electric plant acquired as operating units or systems should 
be described in sufficient detail to permit a clear understanding of the 
nature of the investigations which were made for that purpose.

                               Statement C

    Statement C showing any amounts arrived at by appraisals in the 
electric plant accounts (and not eliminated) in lieu of cost to the 
reporting company. This statement should give the full journal entry at 
the time the appraisal was originally recorded and if the entry had the 
effect of appreciating or writing up the electric plant account, the 
amount of the appreciation of writeup should be traced, by proper 
description and explanation of changes, from the date recorded through 
the end of the calendar year prior to the year in which the filing is 
made.

                               Statement D

    Statement D showing electric plant as classified in the books of 
account immediately prior to reclassification in accordance with the 
Uniform System of Accounts, including, under a descriptive heading, any 
unclassified amounts applicable jointly to the electric department and 
other departments of the utility.

                               Statement E

    Statement E showing summary of adjustments necessary to state 
accounts 101, 103-107, 114, and 116, as prescribed in the Uniform System 
of Accounts.

                               Statement F

    Statement F showing electric plant classified according to the 
accounts prescribed in the Uniform System of Accounts, and showing also 
the amount includible in account 116, Other Electric Plant Adjustments.

[[Page 462]]

                               Statement G

    Statement G giving a comparative balance sheet showing the accounts 
and amounts appearing in the books before the adjusting entries have 
been made and after such entries shall have been made.

                               Statement H

    Statement H giving a suggested plan for depreciating, amortizing, or 
otherwise disposing in whole or in part of the amounts includible in 
account 114, Electric Plant Acquisition Adjustments, and account 116, 
Other Electric Plant Adjustments.

                               Statement I
