Exhibit 99.2

Independent Auditors' Report

The Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companies' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

VERMONT ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

(a) Description of Business - The consolidated financial statements of Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. ("VELCO" or the "Company") include the accounts of Vermont Transco LLC ("VT Transco") and VELCO. The Company is subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") as to rates, terms of service and financing and by state regulatory commissions as to other aspects of business, including the construction of electric transmission assets.

VELCO owned and operated an electric power transmission system in the State of Vermont. VELCO had transmission contracts with the State of Vermont, acting by and through the Vermont Department of Public Service, and with all of the electric utilities providing service in the State of Vermont. These transmission contracts have been reviewed and approved by the FERC. Additionally, VELCO has an agreement for single-unit power purchases of electricity, which it resells at cost to one of its stockholders in the State of Vermont.

On June 30, 2006, VELCO transferred substantially all of its electric transmission assets, along with the associated contracts, to VT Transco, in exchange for Class A Member Units, and the assumption of VELCO's long term-debt and other liabilities. In addition, VELCO entered into a Management Services Agreement with Vermont Transco to serve as the Manager of VT Transco. This agreement provides for VT Transco to reimburse VELCO for all of its costs in fulfilling its responsibilities as the Manager of VT Transco.

VELCO, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vermont Electric Transmission Company, Inc. ("VETCO") (Note 9), constructed and maintains the Vermont portion of a transmission line used to transmit power purchased by the New England Power Pool on behalf of New England electric utilities from Hydro-Quebec, a Canadian utility. To assist VELCO in making its initial capital contribution to VETCO, the participating Vermont electric utilities purchased all of the shares of VELCO's Class C preferred stock.

VELCO's common and preferred stock are owned by various Vermont utilities. Central Vermont Public Service Corporation ("CVPS") owns 48% of VELCO's Class B and 31% of its Class C common stock and 47% of its Class C preferred stock.

VELCO also has agreements with various stockholders and other Vermont utilities to act as agent in order to provide a single entity that can accumulate costs related to the combined utilities' participation in certain joint projects. VELCO bills these costs, along with any direct costs incurred, to the participating Vermont utilities in accordance with each participant's obligations. These agency transactions are not reflected as part of VELCO's operations; however, operating expenses may be indirectly impacted from year to year, depending on the significance and nature of the activities performed by VELCO.

(b) Consolidation - VELCO consolidates VT Transco as it controls the financial and operating policies of VT Transco. Ownership interests of members other than the Company in the equity of VT Transco are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as minority interest in the caption labeled "Equity Interest of Non-Controlling Members in VT Transco". The share of members other than the Company in the income of VT Transco is deducted in determining the Company's consolidated net income. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c) Regulatory Accounting - Electric utilities are subject to certain accounting standards that are not applicable to other business enterprises in general. The Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation ("FAS 71"), which requires regulated entities, in appropriate circumstances, to establish regulatory assets or liabilities, and thereby defer the income statement impact of certain charges or revenues because they are expected to be collected or refunded through future customer billings.

The Company and its utility subsidiary follow accounting policies prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and the Vermont Public Service Board ("VPSB").

On December 9, 2005, the FERC approved a filing allowing at that time VELCO, and now through its subsidiary VT Transco, to begin amortizing over a ten year period the deferred depreciation charges the Company incurred when taking depreciation under the bond sinking fund method. This regulatory asset which accounts for the difference between depreciation reported in the consolidated financial statements and depreciation previously recovered in rates is $3,828,499 and $4,253,887 as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

On June 16, 2006, the FERC approved a filing allowing at the time VELCO, and now through its subsidiary VT Transco, to accumulate as a regulatory asset the costs associated with the LLC transaction and to amortize and recover that asset over a fifteen year period to commence when the Company began operations. This regulatory asset is $2,094,370 as of December 31, 2006.

The Company continually assesses whether regulatory assets continue to meet the criteria for probability of future recovery. This assessment includes consideration of factors such as changes in the regulatory environment, recent rate orders to other regulated entities under the same jurisdiction. If future recovery of certain regulatory assets becomes improbable, the affected assets would be written off in the period in which such determination is made.

(d) Revenue Recognition - Electric transmission service for utilities, municipalities, municipal electric companies, electric cooperatives and other eligible entities is provided through the Company's facilities under the ISO-NE open-access transmission tariff regulated by FERC. The Company charges for these services under FERC approved rates. Prior to June 30, 2006, revenue was billed monthly based on estimated cost of service plus 11.5% return on capital. The tariff specifies the general terms and conditions of service on the transmission system and the approved rates set forth the Revenue to be billed monthly based on estimated cost of service plus an 11.5% return on capital for Class B and Class C shareholders prior to June 30, 2006 and 11.5% return on capital for Class A Member Units and a 13.3% return on capital for Class B Member Units from inception of VT Transco. The effect of unbilled revenue at the end of the accounting period represents the difference between billed and actual costs for the month of December and is approximately $944,000 at December 31, 2006 and is reported in prepaid and other assets in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

(e) Utility Plant - Utility plant in service is stated at cost. Major expenditures for plant and those which substantially increase useful lives are capitalized. The Company provides for depreciation of utility plant in service using annual rates to amortize the cost of depreciable assets over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their costs are removed from plant, and such costs, plus removal cost, less salvage, are charged against accumulated depreciation.

In 2006, the Company completed a depreciation rate study for its depreciable utility plant. The Company implemented a new depreciation rate schedule which recognizes depreciation expense as a percentage of average remaining transmission plant at 2.63% as of December 31, 2006. This method is consistent with the straight-line method of depreciation. Prior to January 1, 2006, rights of way, transmission equipment, communications equipment, buildings and office equipment were depreciated over 75 years, 30 years, 20 years, 30 years and 5 to 10 years, respectively.

Software is recorded at cost. Depreciation is recorded at straight-line rates over the estimated useful life of the assets which is five years.

(f) Asset Retirement Obligations - The Company follows the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 47 ("FIN 47"), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. FIN 47 was issued in March 2005 as an interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143 ("SFAS 143"), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, originally issued in June 2001. FIN 47 clarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement obligation" as used in SFAS 143 refers to a legal obligation to perform as asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability at fair value for an asset retirement obligation when it has been incurred if the amount can be reasonably estimated, even if settlement of the liability is conditional on a future event.

Page 8 of 19

The Company has substantively reviewed the regulations, laws, and contractual obligations to which it is party to identify situations where there are legal obligations to perform asset retirement activities. This review has identified a limited number of leases and railroad crossing agreements which obligate the Company to perform asset retirement activities upon termination. In considering how to determine the fair value of these obligations, the Company has determined that because of the limited number and limited size of the asset retirement obligations, the fair value of the obligations would not have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operation and cash flows.

(g) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets, such as utility plant, and regulatory assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset to the carrying value of the asset. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary. As long as it assets continue to be recovered through ratemaking process, the Company believes that such impairment is unlikely.

(h) Allowance for Borrowed Funds Used During Construction ("AFUDC") - Allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC") represents the cost of the debt used to find the construction of transmission assets. The portion of the allowance that applies to borrowed funds is presented in the consolidated statements of income as a reduction of interest expense. AFUDC is not currently realized in cash, but is recovered in the form of increased revenue collected as a result of depreciation of the property. The Company capitalized AFUDC at an average rate of 5.78% in 2006, 4.26% in 2005 and 2.29% in 2004.

(i) Materials and Supplies Inventory - Materials and supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

(j) Unamortized Debt Expense - Costs associated with the original issuance of long-term debt has been capitalized and amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Amortization expense amounted to $76,289 in 2006, $86,820 in 2005 and $98,139 in 2004.

(k) Income Taxes - VT Transco LLC is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state statutes. As such, it is not liable for federal or stated income taxes. VT Transco's members (except certain tax-exempt members) report their share of the Company's earnings, gains, losses, deductions and tax credits on their respective federal and state income tax returns. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements only include a provision for federal and state income tax expense of VELCO.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date.

(l) Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and final average pay. The cost of the program is being funded currently.

The Company also sponsors a defined benefit health care plan for substantially all employees. The Company measures the costs of its obligation based on its best estimate. The net periodic costs are recognized as employees render the services necessary to earn the postretirement benefits.

Page 9 of 19

(m) Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying amount of utility plant, deferred income taxes, environmental liabilities and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(n) Commitments and Contingencies - Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated.

(o) New Accounting Pronouncements - In September 2006, FASB issued Statement No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires an employer that sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to:

1. recognize, in its balance sheet, the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined postretirement plan measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation,
2. recognize, net of tax, as a component of other comprehensive income, the actuarial and experienced gains or losses and prior service costs or credits,
3. measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet.

The required date of adoption of SFAS 158 for the Company is December 31, 2007 for the recognition portion of the standard and December 31, 2008 for the measurement date portion.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 ("SFAS 109"). FIN 48 provides guidance on recognition thresholds and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken on an enterprise's tax return. An enterprise must be able to show that it is more likely than not that the recognition of its tax position will be sustained upon examination, based on the position's technical merits. Furthermore, the measurement of the tax position that meets the threshold outlined in the recognition step should be measurement at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of FIN 48 for the fiscal year beginning January 2007. FIN 48 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(p) Reclassifications - Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

$121,893,000

The terms of the indenture, as supplemented, under which the First Mortgage Bonds were issued, require, among other restrictions, that the total of common equity investment and indebtedness of the Company subordinated to the First Mortgage Bonds must equal at least one-third of the aggregate principal amount of the bonds outstanding or $40,631,000, at December 31, 2006. The Company believes it is in compliance with this requirement at December 31, 2006.

Other Long-Term Debt - Other long-term debt includes notes payable of $1,533,393 and $2,594,311 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, bearing interest at rates ranging from 5.44% to 6.51%, which mature within the next four years. The notes are secured by a lien on certain office equipment and furniture. Principal repayments for the next five years will amount to:

NOTE 4. Notes Payable to Bank

The Company has an unsecured $95,000,000 line of credit agreement with a financial institution, reduced by certain standby letters of credit, expiring on December 30, 2007 to provide interim financing for plant construction. As part of this agreement, the Company agrees to pay 0.15% per annum on the daily unused line of credit amount. Average daily borrowing was $63,287,191 in 2006 at a weighted average interest rate of 5.78%. Management expects to renew the line of credit with similar terms during 2007 for use in 2008. The outstanding balance at December 31, 2006 amounted to $61,470,000.

NOTE 5. Income Taxes

Federal and state income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 follows:

	2006	2005	2004
Federal:    Current    Deferred       Total federal State:    Current    Deferred       Total state Total federal and state income tax	$717,970    737,674 1,455,644 188,196      244,642      432,838 $1,888,482	$283,966 1,062,967 1,346,933 81,076      345,041      426,117 $1,773,050	$(941,443) 1,141,024     199,581  (273,227)   365,145      91,918  $291,499

The difference between the actual tax provision and the "expected" tax expense for 2006 and 2005 (computed by applying the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate to earnings before taxes) is primarily attributable to the change in equity in earnings of subsidiary, state income taxes net of federal benefit, and the effects of several non-deductible items.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are presented below:

	2006	2005
Deferred tax assets:    Deferred compensation    Alternative minimum tax credit    Other       Total gross deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities:    Utility plant depreciation       Net deferred tax liability	$1,498,004  485,468     957,885  2,941,357  (9,237,121) $(6,295,764)	$1,469,840  485,468     880,535  2,835,843  (8,149,291) $(5,313,448)

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income.

VELCO files its income tax return on a consolidated basis with VETCO. The consolidated income taxes payable are allocated between VELCO and VETCO on a separate-company basis, in accordance with a tax-sharing agreement.

NOTE 6. Equity Transactions

Common Stock - In December 2005, 5,017 additional shares of Class B common stock were issued.

Preferred Stock - The Class C preferred stock entitles stockholders to variable rate quarterly dividends but does not entitle stockholders to vote, except under certain circumstances. Quarterly dividends and a return of capital are paid to preferred stockholders in amounts substantially equivalent to the dividends and return of capital received by the Company from VETCO.

NOTE 7. Non-Controlling Member's Equity of VT Transco

VT Transco's non-controlling members include investor-owned utilities, municipalities, and electric cooperatives. Each non-controlling member was issued membership interests in VT Transco in proportion to the value of cash it contributed to the Company. A rollforward of the equity interest of non-controlling members in VT Transco is as follows:

Issuance of membership units
Income before tax of VT Transco
Distributions of VT Transco income before tax
Ending balance, December 31, 2006 Equity interest of non-controlling members
$54,000,000 
3,245,383 
      (776,171)
$56,469,212 

Distribution of VT Transco's income before tax to non-controlling members is at the discretion of the Company and is in proportion to each member's percentage interest in VT Transco.

NOTE 8. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

Defined Benefit Plan - The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The benefits are based on years of service and final average pay. The Company makes annual contributions to the plan equal to the maximum amount that can be deducted for income tax purposes. The measurement date used to determine pension benefits for the defined benefit pension plan is September 30.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions ("FAS 87") states that if a pension plan's accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") exceeds the fair value of plan assets, the employer shall recognize in the statement of financial position a liability that is at least equal to the unfunded ABO with an offsetting charge to other comprehensive income. Primarily due to actuarial losses, the Company's ABO was greater than the fair value of plan assets at September 30, 2005. As such, VELCO has recognized an additional minimum pension of $63,723 at December 31, 2005, reflecting this underfunded pension obligation. The Company would normally record a charge to other comprehensive income as an offset to this entry, however, under FAS 87 the Company can offset this entry with another deferred asset equal to the lessor of unrecognized prior service cost of $552,208 or the additional minimum pension liability of $63,723 at September 30, 2005. Therefore, the Company has not charged other comprehensive income but has instead recorded another deferred asset of $63,723 at December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2006, the fair value of plan assets is greater than the ABO, therefore the additional minimum pension liability was removed from the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

Post Retirement Plan - The Company's current postretirement benefit plan offers health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees who meet certain age and years of service eligibility requirements. Under certain circumstances, eligible retirees are required to make contributions for postretirement benefits. The Company accrues the cost of postretirement benefits during the employees' years of service. When the Company began accrual accounting for such costs in 1993, it elected to recognize previously unaccrued postretirement benefit costs, known as the transition obligation, by amortizing these costs ratably over a 20-year period. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company contributed $100,379 and $188,423 toward these benefits. The Company anticipates contributing $175,000 for these benefits in 2007. The measurement date used to determine post retirement benefits for the post retirement plan is December 31.

The FERC has established certain guidelines that all FERC-regulated companies, including the Company, must follow in order to recover postretirement benefit costs in rates. The guidelines generally allow for the recovery of postretirement benefits when accrued. However, these guidelines do require that all postretirement benefit costs be

Page 15 of 19

funded when accrued. The Company's current plan is to fund its annual postretirement benefits accrual by making deposits into a 401(h) account, a separate account established within the pension investment fund and through a Voluntary Employees' Benefit Association (VEBA). Additionally, these guidelines require the Company to advise the FERC of its plans for accruing and funding postretirement benefit costs. The Company filed its plans with the FERC in 1995, although such plans have not yet been approved by the FERC.

	Postretirement Benefits 2006	Postretirement Benefits 2005
Change in projected benefit obligation:    Benefit obligation at beginning of year    Service cost    Interest cost    Actuarial loss    Benefits paid       Benefit obligation at end of year Change in plan assets:    Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year    Actual return on plan assets    Employer contribution    Benefits paid       Fair value of plan assets at end of year           Funded status Unrecognized net transition obligation Unrecognized net actuarial loss           Accrued benefit cost Adjustments for contributions           Prepaid benefit cost	$1,833,643  49,395  97,581  (25,215)     (150,390) 1,805,014  413,555  30,982  288,481  (150,390)  582,628  (1,222,386) 133,406  1,077,102  (11,878)   52,955  $41,077	$1,642,986  36,935  102,437  277,592    (226,307) 1,833,643  318,496  35,225  286,142  (226,307)  413,556  (1,420,087) 155,641  1,151,882  (112,564) 166,274  $53,710

Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A 1.0% increase in the trend rate would increase the postretirement accumulated benefit obligation by $26,234 and a 1.0% decrease in the trend rate would decrease the postretirement accumulated benefit obligation by $24,364 in 2006.

	Postretirement Benefits 2006	Postretirement Benefits 2005	Postretirement Benefits 2004

The assumptions, used to determine net periodic postretirement benefit costs are as follows:

	Postretirement Benefits 2006	Postretirement Benefits 2005
Weighted average assumptions:    Discount rate    Expected return on plan assets    Rate of compensation increase	5.75% 7.5% 4.50%	5.5% 7.5% 4.5%

Defined Contribution Plan - The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan to which eligible employees may contribute part of their salaries and wages within prescribed limits. Employees are eligible to participate in this plan during their first year of employment, if the employee has attained age 18. Vesting begins after 1,000 hours of service. Employees are fully vested in the Company's contribution in five years. Additional matching contributions may be made on the employees' behalf based on the results of operations. The Company contributed $263,065 and $248,070 in 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Deferred Compensation - The principal amounts of deferred compensation result from plans for the Company's management and Board of Directors. The plans and the agreement generally provide for annual retirement benefits beginning at age 65 for management and at age 70 for the Board of Directors. The Company is funding the cost of the plans in part through life insurance contracts. The cost of these plans, net of the increase in cash surrender value and insurance proceeds, if any, has been charged to operating expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 9. Investment in Affiliated Company

Investment in affiliated company is accounted for under the equity method and represents VELCO's 100% ownership of the common stock of Vermont Electric Transmission Company, Inc. ("VETCO"). The Company reviewed the guidance of FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as revised in December 2003 ("FIN 46R"), which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities ("VIE") by business enterprises that are the primary beneficiaries. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment risk to permit it to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise with the majority of the risks or rewards associated with the VIE. As part of VELCO's assessment of FIN 46R, VELCO reviewed the substance of VETCO to determine if it is still appropriate that the entity is not consolidated with VELCO's operations. VETCO continues to operate under support agreements in connection with the construction of the transmission line with substantially all of the New England electric utilities. These agreements require the utilities to reimburse VETCO for all of the operating and capital costs of the line on an unconditional and absolute basis. Additionally, these support agreements provide for an advisory committee made up of participants to review VETCO's operations and make recommendations on major decisions. VETCO is obligated to follow these recommendations to the extent reasonably practical. These provisions effectively restrict VELCO's control over VETCO's operations. Based on these facts, VELCO has determined that it does not have a controlling financial interest in VETCO, as VELCO is not exposed to the risks and rewards of VETCO. In addition, the support agreements effectively restrict VELCO's control, therefore VELCO has not consolidated its financial information with that of VETCO and, instead, is accounting for its investment using the equity method.

VELCO owns 100% of the common stock in VETCO. VELCO's initial capital contribution was $9,999,000. VETCO pays VELCO a quarterly dividend that represents a return on investment at a rate based on market rates. In addition, a return of investment calculated to maintain equity at approximately 20% of VETCO's total capitalization is paid to VELCO quarterly. This return of equity ceased when the long-term debt was paid in full in April 2006. Through December 31, 2006, VETCO has returned to VELCO $9,850,000 of the original capital contribution. The carrying amount of the investment is $428,336 and $382,980 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Other Related Party Activity - VELCO has contracted with VETCO to provide VETCO with management and support services. In connection therewith, VELCO has charged VETCO $1,159,787 in 2006 and $1,179,011 in 2005, which primarily represents payroll services and insurance costs. These amounts are reflected as expenses in VETCO's operating results and as a decrease in expenses in VELCO's accompanying consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 10. Other Related Party Transactions

NOTE 11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value disclosures for the Company's consolidated financial instruments:

• The carrying amounts of cash, bond sinking fund deposits, bond interest deposits and short-term debt approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
• The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on currently quoted market prices for similar types of issues. At December 31, 2006, its carrying amount approximates fair value.

NOTE 13. Consideration of Variable Interest Entity

VELCO evaluated, among other entities, the companies that supply power to VELCO through its purchase power agreements. VELCO determined that it is possible that some of these companies may be considered VIEs. These companies have power plants that have daily capacity output. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, VELCO purchased a total of 13,440 and 11,412 megawatt-hours (MWH), respectively, under these agreements. These purchases approximate 100% of the total MWH purchased by VELCO for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and amounted to $559,483 and $446,344, respectively. In order to determine if these counterparties are VIEs and if VELCO is the primary beneficiary of these counterparties, VELCO concluded that it needed more information from the entities. However, each of the entities has indicated that they will not provide the requested information as they are not contractually obligated to provide such confidential information. Since VELCO was unable to obtain the necessary information and as allowed under a scope exception in FIN 46R, the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not reflect the consolidation of any entities with which VELCO has a purchase power agreement.

NOTE 14. Self Insurance

The Company is self-insured for employee health benefits. Under the terms of the self insurance Plan, all full-time, regular employees were eligible for participation and as such, the Company is responsible for the administration of the Plan and any resultant liability incurred. The Company maintains a stop-loss insurance agreement with the insurance company to limit its losses on individual and aggregate claims. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has provided a reserve of $63,129 for claims incurred but not reported.

NOTE 15. Subsequent Event

On March 21, 2007, the Company received the proceeds from the sale of its Series R First Mortgage Bonds for the principal amount of $80,000,000, which the Company used to pay-down its existing line of credit.
