<p style="margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2">Allegheny records income taxes under the liability method of accounting. Deferred income tax balances are generally determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using the statutory income tax rates in effect for years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Investment tax credits are amortized over the estimated useful life of the related property. Tax benefits are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the position. Such tax positions are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. </font></p>
