<td>Income tax provision and net income for our Regulated Operating Subsidiaries do not include
any allocation of taxes for METC. METC is organized as a single-member limited liability
company that is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. METC is treated as a
branch of MTH, which is taxed as a multiple-partner limited partnership for federal income tax
purposes. Since METC and MTH, its immediate parent, file as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes, they are exempt from federal income taxes. As a result, METC does not record a
provision for federal income taxes in its statements of operations or record amounts for
federal deferred income tax assets or liabilities on its statements of financial position. For
FERC regulatory reporting, however, METC computes theoretical federal income taxes as well as
the associated deferred income taxes and includes an annual allowance for income taxes in its
net revenue requirement used to determine its rates.</td>
