TECO ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies for both utility and diversified operations include:

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of TECO Energy, Inc., its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, and the accounts of variable interest entities (VIEs) for which it is the primary beneficiary (TECO Energy or the company). TECO Energy is considered to be the primary beneficiary of VIEs if it has both 1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Effective Jan. 1, 2010, amended accounting standards on consolidation resulted in the reconsolidation of two projects in Guatemala.

All significant intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Generally, the equity method of accounting is used to account for investments in partnerships or other arrangements in which TECO Energy is not the primary beneficiary, but is able to exert significant influence. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary to state fairly the financial position of TECO Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries as of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended Jun. 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2011.

The use of estimates is inherent in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Actual results could differ from these estimates. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all year-end disclosures required for an annual report on Form 10-K by GAAP in the United States of America.

Revenues

As of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010, unbilled revenues of $62.3 million and $65.5 million, respectively, are included in the “Receivables” line item on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Accounting for Franchise Fees and Gross Receipts

The regulated utilities (Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas System (PGS)) are allowed to recover from customers certain costs incurred through rates approved by the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC). The amounts included in customers’ bills for franchise fees and gross receipt taxes are included as revenues on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. These amounts totaled $27.1 million and $55.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, compared to $28.1 million and $59.0 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010. Franchise fees and gross receipt taxes payable by the regulated utilities are included as an expense on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in “Taxes, other than income”. These amounts totaled $27.1 million and $55.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, compared to $28.0 million and $58.8 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010.

Purchased Power

Tampa Electric purchases power on a regular basis to meet the needs of its customers. Tampa Electric purchased power from entities not affiliated with TECO Energy at a cost of $43.9 million and $71.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, compared to $49.1 million and $106.3 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010. Prudently incurred purchased power costs at Tampa Electric have historically been recoverable through FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses.

Cash Flows Related to Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The company classifies cash inflows and outflows related to derivative and hedging instruments in the appropriate cash flow sections associated with the item being hedged. In the case of heating oil swaps which are used to mitigate the fluctuations in the price of diesel fuel, the cash inflows and outflows are included in the operating section. For natural gas and ongoing interest rate swaps, the cash inflows and outflows are included in the operating section. For interest rate swaps that settle coincident with the debt issuance, the cash inflows and outflows are treated as premiums or discounts and included in the financing section of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance requiring companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income, in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011. The company will adopt the guidance as required. It will have no effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to more closely align its fair value measurement and disclosure requirements with IFRS. The guidance relates to: measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed in a portfolio; the application of premiums and discounts in fair value measurement; and disclosures for items required to be disclosed, but not reported on the statement of financial position, at fair value and Level 3 measures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011. The company will adopt the guidance as required. It will have no effect on the company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows

3. Regulatory

Tampa Electric’s and PGS’s retail businesses are regulated by the FPSC. Tampa Electric also is subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 (PUHCA 2005). However, pursuant to a waiver granted in accordance with the FERC’s regulations, TECO Energy is not subject to certain accounting, record-keeping and reporting requirements prescribed by the FERC’s regulations under PUHCA 2005. The operations of PGS are regulated by the FPSC separately from the operations of Tampa Electric. The FPSC has jurisdiction over rates, service, issuance of securities, safety, accounting and depreciation practices and other matters. In general, the FPSC sets rates at a level that allows utilities such as Tampa Electric and PGS to collect total revenues (revenue requirements) equal to their cost of providing service, plus a reasonable return on invested capital.

Storm Damage Cost Recovery

Tampa Electric accrues $8.0 million annually to an FPSC-approved self-insured storm damage reserve. Tampa Electric’s storm reserve was $41.4 million and $37.4 million as of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010, respectively.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Tampa Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the FERC.

Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting standards for regulated operations. Areas of applicability include: deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; and the deferral of costs as regulatory assets to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year.

4. Income Taxes

The company’s U.S. subsidiaries join in the filing of a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concluded its examination of the company’s 2009 consolidated federal income tax return during 2010. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the year 2007 and onward. Years 2010 and 2011 are currently being examined by the IRS under its Compliance Assurance Program. TECO Energy does not expect the settlement of current IRS examinations to significantly change the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits by the end of 2011. Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years from the filing of an income tax return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. Years still open to examination by tax authorities in major state and foreign jurisdictions include 2005 and forward.

During the second quarter of 2010, the company finalized the settlements of certain state items that were under appeal. As a result, the company recorded a $1.6 million after-tax benefit, excluding interest. During the six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, the company recorded a total of $4.0 million after-tax benefit, excluding interest, for these state items.

The company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in “Operation other expense-Other” on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in accordance with standards for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, the company recorded $0.2 million of interest charges. For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, the company recorded $1.3 million of interest income as a result of reaching a favorable settlement for certain state items that were under appeal. No amounts were recorded for penalties for the six month periods ended Jun. 30, 2011 or 2010.

The effective tax rate increased to 35.92% for the six-months ended Jun. 30, 2011 from 34.84% for the same period in 2010. The six-month period ended Jun. 30, 2010 included a benefit from the settlements of certain state items and a benefit resulting from the permanently reinvested earnings at DECA II, offset by a $5.9 million foreign tax credit valuation allowance.

For the fiscal 2011 plan year, TECO Energy assumed an expected long-term return on plan assets of 7.75% and a discount rate of 5.30% for pension benefits under its qualified pension plan, and a discount rate of 5.25% for its other postretirement benefits as of their Jan. 1, 2011 measurement dates.

Effective Dec. 31, 2006, in accordance with the accounting standard for defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefits, TECO Energy adjusted its postretirement benefit obligations and recorded other comprehensive income (loss) to reflect the unamortized transition obligation, prior service cost, and actuarial gains and losses of its postretirement benefit plans. The adjustment to other comprehensive income was net of amounts that, for purposes prescribed by accounting standards for regulated operations, were recorded as regulatory assets for Tampa Electric Company. For the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, TECO Energy and its subsidiaries reclassed $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of unamortized transition obligation, prior service cost and actuarial losses from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income as part of periodic benefit expense. In addition, during the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, Tampa Electric Company reclassed $2.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of unamortized transition obligation, prior service cost and actuarial losses from regulatory assets to net income as part of periodic benefit expense.

In connection with the restructuring events that occurred in the third quarter of 2009 that changed the senior management structure, TECO Energy recognized settlement charges of $0.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010 for payouts from its TECO Energy Group Supplemental Executive Retirement Program (SERP).

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and a companion bill, The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act were signed into law. Among other things, both acts reduce the tax benefits available to an employer that receives the Medicare Part D subsidy, resulting in a write-off of any associated deferred tax asset. As a result, TECO Energy reduced its deferred tax asset by $6.4 million and recorded a corresponding charge of $1.1 million and a regulatory tax asset of $5.3 million.

The amendment (i) extends the maturity date to Feb. 17, 2012, (ii) provides that TRC will pay program and liquidity fees, which will total 70 basis points, (iii) provides that the interest rates on the borrowings will be based on prevailing asset-backed commercial paper rates, unless such rates are not available from conduit lenders, in which case the rates will be at an interest rate equal to, at Tampa Electric Company’s option, either Citibank’s prime rate (or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) or a rate based on the London interbank offer rate (if available) plus a margin and (iv) makes other technical changes.

7. Long-Term Debt

Purchase in Lieu of Redemption of Polk County Industrial Development Authority Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2010

On Mar. 1, 2011, Tampa Electric Company purchased in lieu of redemption $75.0 million Polk County Industrial Development Authority (PCIDA) Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2010 (the PCIDA Bonds). On Nov. 23, 2010, the PCIDA had issued the PCIDA Bonds in a term-rate mode pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Trust Agreement governing those bonds. Proceeds of the PCIDA Bonds were used to redeem $75.0 million PCIDA Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007, which previously had been in auction rate mode and had been held by Tampa Electric Company since Mar. 26, 2008. The PCIDA Bonds bore interest at the initial term rate of 1.50% per annum from Nov. 23, 2010 to Mar. 1, 2011.

On Mar. 26, 2008, Tampa Electric Company purchased in lieu of redemption $20.0 million Hillsborough County Industrial Development Authority (HCIDA) Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007C. After the Mar. 1, 2011 purchase of the PCIDA Bonds, $95.0 million in bonds purchased in lieu of redemption were held by the trustee at the direction of Tampa Electric Company as of Jun. 30, 2011 (Held Bonds) to provide an opportunity to evaluate refinancing alternatives. The Held Bonds effectively offset the outstanding debt balances and are presented net on the balance sheet.

Issuance of TECO Finance, Inc. 4.00% Notes due 2016 and 5.15% Notes due 2020

On Mar. 15, 2010, TECO Finance, Inc. (TECO Finance) issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.00% Notes due Mar. 15, 2016 and $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.15% Notes due Mar. 15, 2020. The 2016 Notes were priced at 99.594% of the principal amount to yield 4.077% to maturity, and the 2020 Notes were priced at 99.552% of the principal amount to yield 5.208% to maturity. TECO Finance is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TECO Energy whose business activities consist solely of providing funds to TECO Energy for its diversified activities. The TECO Finance notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by TECO Energy.

The offering resulted in net proceeds to TECO Finance (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) of approximately $543.5 million. TECO Finance used these net proceeds to fund the cash purchase of the TECO Energy and TECO Finance notes tendered in March 2010 (see TECO Energy, Inc. and TECO Finance, Inc. Tender Offers below) and to fund the redemptions of the TECO Energy Floating Rate Notes due 2010 and 7.20% Notes due 2011 in April 2010. TECO Finance may redeem some or all of the notes at its option at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the Indenture), plus 25 basis points; in either case, the redemption price would include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

TECO Energy, Inc. and TECO Finance, Inc. Tender Offers

On Mar. 22, 2010, TECO Energy and TECO Finance completed debt tender offers which resulted in the purchase of approximately $70.0 million principal amount of TECO Energy notes for cash and approximately $230.0 million principal amount of TECO Finance notes for cash.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, TECO Energy and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of its business. Where appropriate, accruals are made in accordance with accounting standards for contingencies to provide for matters that are probable of resulting in an estimable loss. While the outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, management does not believe that their ultimate resolution will have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Merco Group at Aventura Landings v. Peoples Gas System

The first portion of a non-jury trial in this case was held in June 2011 in the Dade County, Florida Circuit Court. The trial is expected to resume and conclude in October 2011. Merco Group at Aventura Landings I, II and III (Merco) alleged that coal tar from a certain former PGS manufactured gas plant site had been deposited in the early 1960s onto property now owned by Merco. Merco alleged that it incurred approximately $3.9 million in costs associated with the removal of such coal tar and provided testimony claiming approximately $110.0 million plus interest in damages from out-of-pocket development expenses and lost profits due to the delay in its condominium development project allegedly caused by the presence of the coal tar. PGS maintains that it is not liable because the coal tar did not originate from its manufactured gas plant site and filed a third-party complaint against Continental Holdings, Inc., which Merco also added as a defendant in its suit, as the owner at the relevant time of the site that PGS believes was the source of the coal tar on Merco’s property. In addition, the court will consider PGS’s counterclaim against Merco which claims that, because Merco purchased the property with actual knowledge of the presence of coal tar on the property, Merco should contribute toward any damages resulting from the presence of coal tar.

Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

Tampa Electric Company, through its Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas divisions, is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain superfund sites and, through its Peoples Gas division, for certain former manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liability associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, as of Jun. 30, 2011, Tampa Electric Company has estimated its ultimate financial liability to be $21.3 million, primarily at PGS. This amount has been accrued and is primarily reflected in “Long-term regulatory liabilities” on the company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The environmental remediation costs associated with these sites, which are expected to be paid over many years, are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices.

The estimated amounts represent only the estimated portion of the clean-up costs attributable to Tampa Electric Company. The estimates to perform the work are based on Tampa Electric Company’s experience with similar work, adjusted for site-specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.

In instances where other PRPs are involved, many of those PRPs are creditworthy and are likely to continue to be creditworthy for the duration of the remediation work. However, in those instances that they are not, Tampa Electric Company could be liable for more than Tampa Electric Company’s actual percentage of the remediation costs.

Factors that could impact these estimates include the ability of other PRPs to pay their pro-rata portion of the cleanup costs, additional testing and investigation which could expand the scope of the cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from the cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. These costs are recoverable through customer rates established in subsequent base rate proceedings.

Potentially Responsible Party Notification

In October 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified Tampa Electric Company that it is a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, commonly known as Superfund, for the proposed conduct of a contaminated soil removal action and further clean up, if necessary, at a property owned by Tampa Electric Company in Tampa, Florida. The property owned by Tampa Electric Company is undeveloped except for location of transmission lines and poles, and is adjacent to an industrial site, not owned by Tampa Electric Company, which the EPA has studied since 1992 or earlier. The EPA has asserted this potential liability due to Tampa Electric Company’s ownership of the property described above but, to the knowledge of Tampa Electric Company, this assertion is not based upon any release of hazardous substances by Tampa Electric Company. Tampa Electric Company has responded to the EPA regarding such matter. The scope and extent of its potential liability, if any, and the costs of any required investigation and remediation have not been determined.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrative Order

In December 2010, Clintwood Elkhorn Mining Company, a subsidiary of TECO Coal Corporation (TECO Coal), received an Administrative Order from the EPA relating to the discharge of wastewater associated with inactive mining operations in Pike County, Kentucky. TECO Coal responded to the EPA on Feb. 14, 2011. The scope and extent of TECO Coal’s potential liability, if any, and the costs of any required investigation and remediation related to these inactive mining operations in the area have not been determined.

12. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

From time to time, TECO Energy and its affiliates enter into futures, forwards, swaps and option contracts for the following purposes:

 

   

To limit the exposure to price fluctuations for physical purchases and sales of natural gas in the course of normal operations at Tampa Electric and PGS;

 

   

To limit the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on debt securities at TECO Energy and its affiliates; and

 

   

To limit the exposure to price fluctuations for physical purchases of fuel at TECO Coal.

TECO Energy and its affiliates use derivatives only to reduce normal operating and market risks, not for speculative purposes. The company’s primary objective in using derivative instruments for regulated operations is to reduce the impact of market price volatility on ratepayers.

The risk management policies adopted by TECO Energy provide a framework through which management monitors various risk exposures. Daily and periodic reporting of positions and other relevant metrics are performed by a centralized risk management group which is independent of all operating companies.

The company applies the accounting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. These standards require companies to recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the financial statements, to measure those instruments at fair value, and to reflect the changes in the fair value of those instruments as either components of OCI or in net income, depending on the designation of those instruments. The changes in fair value that are recorded in OCI are not immediately recognized in current net income. As the underlying hedged transaction matures or the physical commodity is delivered, the deferred gain or loss on the related hedging instrument must be reclassified from OCI to earnings based on its value at the time of the instrument’s settlement. For effective hedge transactions, the amount reclassified from OCI to earnings is offset in net income by the market change of the amount paid or received on the underlying physical transaction.

The company applies the accounting standards for regulated operations to financial instruments used to hedge the purchase of natural gas for its regulated companies. These standards, in accordance with the FPSC, permit the changes in fair value of natural gas derivatives to be recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities reflecting the impact of hedging activities on the fuel recovery clause. As a result, these changes are not recorded in OCI (see Note 3).

The company’s physical contracts qualify for the normal purchase/normal sale (NPNS) exception to derivative accounting rules, provided they meet certain criteria. Generally, NPNS applies if the company deems the counterparty creditworthy, if the counterparty owns or controls resources within the proximity to allow for physical delivery of the commodity, if the company intends to receive physical delivery and if the transaction is reasonable in relation to the company’s business needs. As of Jun. 30, 2011, all of the company’s physical contracts qualify for the NPNS exception.

For derivative instruments that meet cash flow hedge criteria, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. For the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010, all hedges were effective.

The company is exposed to credit risk primarily through entering into derivative instruments with counterparties to limit its exposure to the commodity price fluctuations associated with diesel fuel and natural gas. Credit risk is the potential loss resulting from a counterparty’s nonperformance under an agreement. The company manages credit risk with policies and procedures for, among other things, counterparty analysis, exposure measurement, and exposure monitoring and mitigation.

It is possible that volatility in commodity prices could cause the company to have material credit risk exposures with one or more counterparties. If such counterparties fail to perform their obligations under one or more agreements, the company could suffer a material financial loss. However, as of Jun. 30, 2011, all of the counterparties with transaction amounts outstanding in the company’s energy portfolio are rated investment grade by the major rating agencies. The company assesses credit risk internally for counterparties that are not rated.

The company has entered into commodity master arrangements with its counterparties to mitigate credit exposure to those counterparties. The company generally enters into the following master arrangements: (1) Edison Electric Institute agreements (EEI) - standardized power sales contracts in the electric industry; (2) International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements (ISDA) - standardized financial gas and electric contracts; and (3) North American Energy Standards Board agreements (NAESB) - standardized physical gas contracts. The company believes that entering into such agreements reduces the risk from default by creating contractual rights relating to creditworthiness, collateral and termination.

The company has implemented procedures to monitor the creditworthiness of its counterparties and to consider nonperformance in valuing counterparty positions. The company monitors counterparties’ credit standing, including those that are experiencing financial problems, have significant swings in credit default swap rates, have credit rating changes by external rating agencies or have changes in ownership. Net liability positions are generally not adjusted as the company uses derivative transactions as hedges and has the ability and intent to perform under each of these contracts. In the instance of net asset positions, the company considers general market conditions and the observable financial health and outlook of specific counterparties, forward looking data such as credit default swaps, when available, and historical default probabilities from credit rating agencies in evaluating the potential impact of nonperformance risk to derivative positions.

Certain TECO Energy derivative instruments contain provisions that require the company’s debt, or in the case of derivative instruments where Tampa Electric Company is the counterparty, Tampa Electric Company’s debt, to maintain an investment grade credit rating from any or all of the major credit rating agencies. If debt ratings, including Tampa Electric Company’s, were to fall below investment grade, it could trigger these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. The company has no other contingent risk features associated with any derivative instruments.

The table below presents the fair value of the overall contractual contingent liability positions for the company’s derivative activity at Jun. 30, 2011:

13. Fair Value Measurements

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010. As required by accounting standards for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. For natural gas and heating oil swaps, the market approach was used in determining fair value.

Natural gas and heating oil swaps are over-the-counter swap instruments. The primary pricing inputs in determining the fair value of these swaps are the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) quoted closing prices of exchange-traded instruments. These prices are applied to the notional amounts of active positions to determine the reported fair value.

The company considered the impact of nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivatives. The company considered the net position with each counterparty, past performance of both parties and the intent of the parties, indications of credit deterioration, and whether the markets in which we transact have experienced dislocation. At Jun. 30, 2011, the fair value of derivatives was not materially affected by nonperformance risk. The company’s net positions with substantially all counterparties were liability positions.

Fair Value of Debt

At Jun. 30, 2011, total long-term debt had a carrying amount of $3,082.2 million and an estimated fair market value of $3,354.8 million. At Dec. 31, 2010, total long-term debt had a carrying amount of $3,226.4 million and an estimated fair market value of $3,449.3 million.

14. Restructuring Charges

On Jul. 30, 2009, TECO Energy, Inc. announced organizational changes that resulted in severance and other benefits costs that were mostly expensed during the fourth quarter of 2009. For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, the remaining $1.5 million was recognized on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income under “Restructuring charges”.

15. Variable Interest Entities

Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the accounting standards for consolidation of VIEs were amended. The most significant amendment was the determination of a VIE’s primary beneficiary. Under the amended standard, the primary beneficiary is the enterprise that has both 1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Tampa Electric Company has entered into multiple power purchase agreements (PPAs) with wholesale energy providers in Florida to ensure the ability to meet customer energy demand and to provide lower cost options in the meeting of this demand. These agreements range in size from 121 mega-watts (MW) to 370 MW of available capacity, are with similar entities and contain similar provisions. Because some of these provisions provide for the transfer or sharing of a number of risks inherent in the generation of energy, these agreements meet the definition of being VIEs. These risks include: operating and maintenance; regulatory; credit; commodity/fuel; and energy market risk. Tampa Electric Company has reviewed these risks and has determined that the owners of these entities have retained the majority of these risks over the expected life of the underlying generating assets, have the power to direct the most significant activities, the obligation or right to absorb losses or benefits and hence remain the primary beneficiaries. As a result, Tampa Electric Company is not required to consolidate any of these entities. Tampa Electric Company purchased $26.2 million and $42.0 million pursuant to PPAs for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, respectively, and $30.6 million and $61.0 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, respectively.

In one instance Tampa Electric Company’s agreement with the entity for 370 MW of capacity was entered into prior to Dec. 31, 2003, the effective date of these standards. Under these standards, the company is required to make an exhaustive effort to obtain sufficient information to determine if this entity is a VIE and which holder of the variable interests is the primary beneficiary. The owners of this entity are not willing to provide the information necessary to make these determinations, have no obligation to do so and the information is not available publicly. As a result, the company is unable to determine if this entity is a VIE and if so, which variable interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary. The company has no obligation to this entity beyond the purchase of capacity; therefore, the maximum exposure for the company is the obligation to pay for such capacity under terms of the PPA at rates that could be unfavorable to the wholesale market. Under this PPA, Tampa Electric Company purchased $5.9 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, respectively, and $17.6 million and $30.3 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, respectively.

Tampa Electric Company does not provide any material financial or other support to any of the VIEs it is involved with, nor is it under any obligation to absorb losses associated with these VIEs. In the normal course of business, Tampa Electric Company’s involvement with the remaining VIEs does not affect its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies for Tampa Electric Company include:

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Tampa Electric Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc. For the purposes of its consolidated financial reporting, Tampa Electric Company is comprised of the Electric division, generally referred to as Tampa Electric, the Natural Gas division, generally referred to as PGS, and potentially the accounts of VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Tampa Electric Company is considered to be the primary beneficiary of VIEs if it has both 1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. For the periods presented, no VIEs have been consolidated (See Note 13).

All significant intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary to state fairly the financial position of Tampa Electric Company and its subsidiaries as of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended Jun. 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2011.

The use of estimates is inherent in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The year-end consolidated condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, however this quarterly report on Form 10-Q does not include all year-end disclosures required for an annual report on Form 10-K by GAAP in the United States of America.

Revenues

As of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010, unbilled revenues of $62.3 million and $65.5 million, respectively, are included in the “Receivables” line item on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Accounting for Franchise Fees and Gross Receipts

Tampa Electric and PGS are allowed to recover from customers certain costs incurred through rates approved by the FPSC. The amounts included in customers’ bills for franchise fees and gross receipt taxes are included as revenues on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income. These amounts totaled $27.1 million and $55.5 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, compared to $28.1 million and $59.0 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010. Franchise fees and gross receipt taxes payable by the regulated utilities are included as an expense on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in “Taxes, other than income”. These amounts totaled $27.1 million and $55.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, compared to $28.0 million and $58.8 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010.

Purchased Power

Tampa Electric purchases power on a regular basis to meet the needs of its customers. Tampa Electric purchased power from entities not affiliated with TECO Energy at a cost of $43.9 million and $71.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, compared to $49.1 million and $106.3 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010. Prudently incurred purchased power costs at Tampa Electric have historically been recoverable through FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses.

Cash Flows Related to Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Tampa Electric Company classifies cash inflows and outflows related to derivative and hedging instruments in the appropriate cash flow sections associated with the item being hedged. For natural gas and ongoing interest rate swaps, the cash inflows and outflows are included in the operating section. For interest rate swaps that settle coincident with the debt issuance, the cash inflows and outflows are treated as premiums or discounts and included in the financing section of the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance requiring companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income, in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011. Tampa Electric Company will adopt the guidance as required. It will have no effect on Tampa Electric Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

35


Table of Contents

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance to more closely align its fair value measurement and disclosure requirements with IFRS. The guidance relates to: measuring the fair value of financial instruments that are managed in a portfolio; the application of premiums and discounts in fair value measurement; and disclosures for items required to be disclosed, but not reported on the statement of financial position, at fair value and Level 3 measures. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after Dec. 15, 2011. Tampa Electric Company will adopt the guidance as required. It will have no effect on Tampa Electric Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

3. Regulatory

Tampa Electric’s and PGS’s retail businesses are regulated by the FPSC. Tampa Electric also is subject to regulation by the FERC under PUHCA 2005. However, pursuant to a waiver granted in accordance with the FERC’s regulations, TECO Energy is not subject to certain accounting, record-keeping and reporting requirements prescribed by the FERC’s regulations under PUHCA 2005. The operations of PGS are regulated by the FPSC separately from the operations of Tampa Electric. The FPSC has jurisdiction over rates, service, issuance of securities, safety, accounting and depreciation practices and other matters. In general, the FPSC sets rates at a level that allows utilities such as Tampa Electric and PGS to collect total revenues (revenue requirements) equal to their cost of providing service, plus a reasonable return on invested capital.

Storm Damage Cost Recovery

Tampa Electric accrues $8.0 million annually to an FPSC-approved self-insured storm damage reserve. Tampa Electric’s storm reserve was $41.4 million and $37.4 million as of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010, respectively.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Tampa Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the FERC.

Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting standards for regulated operations. Areas of applicability include: deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; and the deferral of costs as regulatory assets to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year.

4. Income Taxes

Tampa Electric Company is included in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with TECO Energy and its affiliates. Tampa Electric Company’s income tax expense is based upon a separate return computation. Tampa Electric Company’s effective tax rates for the six months ended Jun. 30, 2011 and Jun. 30, 2010 differ from the statutory rate principally due to state income taxes, domestic activity production deduction and the equity portion of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction.

The IRS concluded its examination of TECO Energy’s consolidated federal income tax return for the year 2009 during 2010. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the year 2007 and onward. Years 2010 and 2011 are currently under examination by the IRS under its Compliance Assurance Program. TECO Energy does not expect the settlement of current IRS examinations to significantly change the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits by the end of 2011. Florida’s statute of limitations is three years from the filing of an income tax return. The state impact of any federal changes remains subject to examination by various states for a period of up to one year after formal notification to the states. Years still open to examination by Florida’s tax authorities include 2007 and onward.

5. Employee Postretirement Benefits

Tampa Electric Company is a participant in the comprehensive retirement plans of TECO Energy. Amounts allocable to all participants of the TECO Energy retirement plans are found in Note 5, Employee Postretirement Benefits, in the TECO Energy, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Tampa Electric Company’s portion of the net pension expense for the three months ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was $3.1 million and $4.4 million for pension benefits, and $3.2 million and $3.3 million for other postretirement benefits. For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, net benefit expenses were $6.7 million and $9.3 million for pension benefits and $6.7 million and $6.9 million for other postretirement benefits.

For the fiscal 2011 plan year, TECO Energy assumed an expected long-term return on plan assets of 7.75% and a discount rate of 5.30% for pension benefits under its qualified pension plan, and a discount rate of 5.25% for its other postretirement benefits as of their Jan. 1, 2011 measurement dates.

Effective Dec. 31, 2006, in accordance with the accounting standard for defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefits, Tampa Electric Company adjusted its postretirement benefit obligations and recorded regulatory assets to reflect the unamortized transition obligation, prior service cost, and actuarial gains and losses of its postretirement benefit plans. Included in the benefit expenses discussed above, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, Tampa Electric Company reclassed $2.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, of unamortized transition obligation, prior service cost and actuarial losses from regulatory assets to net income. For the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, Tampa Electric Company reclassed $3.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and a companion bill, The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act were signed into law. Among other things, both acts reduced the tax benefits available to an employer that receives the Medicare Part D subsidy, resulting in a write-off of any associated deferred tax asset. As a result, Tampa Electric Company reduced its deferred tax asset by $5.3 million and recorded a corresponding regulatory tax asset.

6. Short-Term Debt

Tampa Electric Company Accounts Receivable Facility

On Feb. 18, 2011, Tampa Electric Company and TRC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tampa Electric Company, amended their $150 million accounts receivable collateralized borrowing facility, entering into Omnibus Amendment No. 9 to the Loan and Servicing Agreement with certain lenders named therein and Citicorp North America, Inc. as Program Agent. The amendment (i) extends the maturity date to Feb. 17, 2012, (ii) provides that TRC will pay program and liquidity fees, which will total 70 basis points, (iii) provides that the interest rates on the borrowings will be based on prevailing asset-backed commercial paper rates, unless such rates are not available from conduit lenders, in which case the rates will be at an interest rate equal to, at Tampa Electric Company’s option, either Citibank’s prime rate (or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) or a rate based on the London interbank offer rate (if available) plus a margin and (iv) makes other technical changes.

7. Long-Term Debt

Purchase in Lieu of Redemption of Polk County Industrial Development Authority Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2010

On Mar. 1, 2011, Tampa Electric Company purchased in lieu of redemption $75.0 million Polk County Industrial Development Authority (PCIDA) Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2010 (the PCIDA Bonds). On Nov. 23, 2010, the PCIDA had issued the PCIDA Bonds in a term-rate mode pursuant to the terms of the Loan and Trust Agreement governing those bonds. Proceeds of the PCIDA Bonds were used to redeem $75.0 million PCIDA Solid Waste Disposal Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007, which previously had been in auction rate mode and had been held by Tampa Electric Company since Mar. 26, 2008. The PCIDA Bonds bore interest at the initial term rate of 1.50% per annum from Nov. 23, 2010 to Mar. 1, 2011.

On Mar. 26, 2008, Tampa Electric Company purchased in lieu of redemption $20.0 million Hillsborough County Industrial Development Authority (HCIDA) Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007C. After the Mar. 1, 2011 purchase of the PCIDA Bonds, $95.0 million in bonds purchased in lieu of redemption were held by the trustee at the direction of Tampa Electric Company as of Jun. 30, 2011 (Held Bonds) to provide an opportunity to evaluate refinancing alternatives. The Held Bonds effectively offset the outstanding debt balances and are presented net on the balance sheet.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, Tampa Electric Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of its business. Where appropriate, accruals are made in accordance with accounting standards for contingencies to provide for matters that are probable of resulting in an estimable loss. While the outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, management does not believe that their ultimate resolution will have a material adverse effect on Tampa Electric Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Merco Group at Aventura Landings v. Peoples Gas System

The first portion of a non-jury trial in this case was held in June 2011 in the Dade County, Florida Circuit Court. The trial is expected to resume and conclude in October 2011. Merco Group at Aventura Landings I, II and III (Merco) alleged that coal tar from a certain former PGS manufactured gas plant site had been deposited in the early 1960s onto property now owned by Merco. Merco alleged that it incurred approximately $3.9 million in costs associated with the removal of such coal tar and provided testimony claiming approximately $110.0 million plus interest in damages from out-of-pocket development expenses and lost profits due to the delay in its condominium development project allegedly caused by the presence of the coal tar. PGS maintains that it is not liable because the coal tar did not originate from its manufactured gas plant site and filed a third-party complaint against Continental Holdings, Inc., which Merco also added as a defendant in its suit, as the owner at the relevant time of the site that PGS believes was the source of the coal tar on Merco’s property. In addition, the court will consider PGS’s counterclaim against Merco which claims that, because Merco purchased the property with actual knowledge of the presence of coal tar on the property, Merco should contribute toward any damages resulting from the presence of coal tar.

Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

Tampa Electric Company, through its Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas divisions, is a PRP for certain superfund sites and, through its Peoples Gas division, for certain former manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liability associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, as of Jun. 30, 2011, Tampa Electric Company has estimated its ultimate financial liability to be $21.3 million, primarily at PGS. This amount has been accrued and is primarily reflected in “Long-term regulatory liabilities” on Tampa Electric Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The environmental remediation costs associated with these sites, which are expected to be paid over many years, are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices.

The estimated amounts represent only the estimated portion of the clean-up costs attributable to Tampa Electric Company. The estimates to perform the work are based on Tampa Electric Company’s experience with similar work adjusted for site-specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.

In instances where other PRPs are involved, many of those PRPs are creditworthy and are likely to continue to be creditworthy for the duration of the remediation work. However, in those instances that they are not, Tampa Electric Company could be liable for more than Tampa Electric Company’s actual percentage of the remediation costs.

Factors that could impact these estimates include the ability of other PRPs to pay their pro-rata portion of the cleanup costs, additional testing and investigation which could expand the scope of the cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from the cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. These costs are recoverable through customer rates established in subsequent base rate proceedings.

Potentially Responsible Party Notification

In October 2010, the U.S. EPA notified Tampa Electric Company that it is a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, commonly known as Superfund, for the proposed conduct of a contaminated soil removal action and further clean up, if necessary, at a property owned by Tampa Electric Company in Tampa, Florida. The property owned by Tampa Electric Company is undeveloped except for location of transmission lines and poles, and is adjacent to an industrial site, not owned by Tampa Electric Company, which the EPA has studied since 1992 or earlier. The EPA has asserted this potential liability due to Tampa Electric Company’s ownership of the property described above but, to the knowledge of Tampa Electric Company, this assertion is not based upon any release of hazardous substances by Tampa Electric Company. Tampa Electric Company has responded to the EPA regarding such matter. The scope and extent of its potential liability, if any, and the costs of any required investigation and remediation have not been determined.

10. Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

From time to time, Tampa Electric Company enters into futures, forwards, swaps and option contracts for the following purposes:

 

   

To limit the exposure to price fluctuations for physical purchases and sales of natural gas in the course of normal operations; and

 

   

To limit the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on debt securities.

Tampa Electric Company uses derivatives only to reduce normal operating and market risks, not for speculative purposes. Tampa Electric Company’s primary objective in using derivative instruments for regulated operations is to reduce the impact of market price volatility on ratepayers.

The risk management policies adopted by Tampa Electric Company provide a framework through which management monitors various risk exposures. Daily and periodic reporting of positions and other relevant metrics are performed by a centralized risk management group which is independent of all operating companies.

Tampa Electric Company applies the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging. These standards require companies to recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the financial statements, to measure those instruments at fair value, and to reflect the changes in the fair value of those instruments as either components of OCI or in net income, depending on the designation of those instruments. The changes in fair value that are recorded in OCI are not immediately recognized in current net income. As the underlying hedged transaction matures or the physical commodity is delivered, the deferred gain or loss on the related hedging instrument must be reclassified from OCI to earnings based on its value at the time of the instrument’s settlement. For effective hedge transactions, the amount reclassified from OCI to earnings is offset in net income by the market change of the amount paid or received on the underlying physical transaction.

Tampa Electric Company applies accounting standards for regulated operations to financial instruments used to hedge the purchase of natural gas for the regulated companies. These standards, in accordance with the FPSC, permit the changes in fair value of natural gas derivatives to be recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities to reflect the impact of hedging activities on the fuel recovery clause. As a result, these changes are not recorded in OCI (see Note 3).

Tampa Electric Company’s physical contracts qualify for the NPNS exception to derivative accounting rules, provided they meet certain criteria. Generally, NPNS applies if Tampa Electric Company deems the counterparty creditworthy, if the counterparty owns or controls resources within the proximity to allow for physical delivery of the commodity, if Tampa Electric Company intends to receive physical delivery and if the transaction is reasonable in relation to Tampa Electric Company’s business needs. As of Jun. 30, 2011, all of Tampa Electric Company’s physical contracts qualify for the NPNS exception.

The following table presents the derivative hedges of natural gas contracts at Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010 to limit the exposure to changes in the market price for natural gas used to produce energy and natural gas purchased for resale to customers:

Based on the fair value of the instruments at Jun. 30, 2011, net pretax losses of $12.3 million are expected to be reclassified from regulatory assets to the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income within the next twelve months.

(1) Changes in OCI and AOCI are reported in after-tax dollars.

For derivative instruments that meet cash flow hedge criteria, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivatives representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. For the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010, all hedges were effective.

The maximum length of time over which the company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows extends to Dec. 31, 2013 for the financial natural gas contracts. The following table presents by commodity type the company’s derivative volumes that, as of Jun. 30, 2011, are expected to settle during the 2011, 2012 and 2013 fiscal years:

Tampa Electric Company is exposed to credit risk primarily through entering into derivative instruments with counterparties to limit its exposure to the commodity price fluctuations associated with natural gas. Credit risk is the potential loss resulting from a counterparty’s nonperformance under an agreement. Tampa Electric Company manages credit risk with policies and procedures for, among other things, counterparty analysis, exposure measurement, and exposure monitoring and mitigation.

It is possible that volatility in commodity prices could cause Tampa Electric Company to have material credit risk exposures with one or more counterparties. If such counterparties fail to perform their obligations under one or more agreements, Tampa Electric Company could suffer a material financial loss. However, as of Jun. 30, 2011, substantially all of the counterparties with transaction amounts outstanding in Tampa Electric Company’s energy portfolio are rated investment grade by the major rating agencies. Tampa Electric Company assesses credit risk internally for counterparties that are not rated.

Tampa Electric Company has entered into commodity master arrangements with its counterparties to mitigate credit exposure to those counterparties. Tampa Electric Company generally enters into the following master arrangements: (1) EEI agreements - standardized power sales contracts in the electric industry; (2) ISDA agreements - standardized financial gas and electric contracts; and (3) NASEB agreements - standardized physical gas contracts. Tampa Electric Company believes that entering into such agreements reduces the risk from default by creating contractual rights relating to creditworthiness, collateral and termination.

Tampa Electric Company has implemented procedures to monitor the creditworthiness of its counterparties and to consider nonperformance in valuing counterparty positions. Tampa Electric Company monitors counterparties’ credit standing, including those that are experiencing financial problems, have significant swings in credit default swap rates, have credit rating changes by external rating agencies, or have changes in ownership. Net liability positions are generally not adjusted as Tampa Electric Company uses derivative transactions as hedges and has the ability and intent to perform under each of these contracts. In the instance of net asset positions, Tampa Electric Company considers general market conditions and the observable financial health and outlook of specific counterparties, forward looking data such as credit default swaps, when available, and historical default probabilities from credit rating agencies in evaluating the potential impact of nonperformance risk to derivative positions.

Certain of Tampa Electric Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require Tampa Electric Company’s debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating from any or all of the major credit rating agencies. If debt ratings were to fall below investment grade, it could trigger these provisions, and the counterparties to the derivative instruments could request immediate payment or demand immediate and ongoing full overnight collateralization on derivative instruments in net liability positions. Tampa Electric Company has no other contingent risk features associated with any derivative instruments.

The table below presents the fair value of the overall contractual contingent liability positions for Tampa Electric Company’s derivative activity at Jun. 30, 2011:

11. Fair Value Measurements

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, Tampa Electric Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of Jun. 30, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2010. As required by accounting standards for fair value measurements, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Tampa Electric Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. For all assets and liabilities presented below the market approach was used in determining fair value.

Natural gas swaps are over-the-counter swap instruments. The primary pricing inputs in determining the fair value of natural gas swaps are the NYMEX quoted closing prices of exchange-traded instruments. These prices are applied to the notional amounts of active positions to determine the reported fair value.

Tampa Electric Company considered the impact of nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivatives. Tampa Electric Company considered the net position with each counterparty, past performance of both parties and the intent of the parties, indications of credit deterioration, and whether the markets in which we transact have experienced dislocation. At Jun. 30, 2011, the fair value of derivatives was not materially affected by nonperformance risk. Tampa Electric Company’s net positions with substantially all counterparties were liability positions.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

At Jun. 30, 2011, Tampa Electric Company’s total long-term debt had a carrying amount of $1,994.7 million and an estimated fair market value of $2,182.6 million. At Dec. 31, 2010, total long-term debt had a carrying amount of $2,069.5 million and an estimated fair market value of $2,217.0 million.

13. Variable Interest Entities

Effective Jan. 1, 2010, the accounting standards for consolidation of VIEs were amended. The most significant amendment was the determination of a VIE’s primary beneficiary. Under the amended standard, the primary beneficiary is the enterprise that has both 1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and 2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

Tampa Electric Company has entered into multiple PPAs with wholesale energy providers in Florida to ensure the ability to meet customer energy demand and to provide lower cost options in the meeting of this demand. These agreements range in size from 121 MW to 370 MW of available capacity, are with similar entities and contain similar provisions. Because some of these provisions provide for the transfer or sharing of a number of risks inherent in the generation of energy, these agreements meet the definition of being VIEs. These risks include: operating and maintenance; regulatory; credit; commodity/fuel; and energy market risk. Tampa Electric Company has reviewed these risks and has determined that the owners of these entities have retained the majority of these risks over the expected life of the underlying generating assets, have the power to direct the most significant activities, the obligation or right to absorb losses or benefits and hence remain the primary beneficiaries. As a result, Tampa Electric Company is not required to consolidate any of these entities. Tampa Electric Company purchased $26.2 million and $42.0 million pursuant to PPAs for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, respectively, and $30.6 million and $61.0 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, respectively.

In one instance Tampa Electric Company’s agreement with the entity for 370 MW of capacity was entered into prior to Dec. 31, 2003, the effective date of these standards. Under these standards, the company is required to make an exhaustive effort to obtain sufficient information to determine if this entity is a VIE and which holder of the variable interests is the primary beneficiary. The owners of this entity are not willing to provide the information necessary to make these determinations, have no obligation to do so and the information is not available publicly. As a result, Tampa Electric Company is unable to determine if this entity is a VIE and if so, which variable interest holder, if any, is the primary beneficiary. Tampa Electric Company has no obligation to this entity beyond the purchase of capacity; therefore, the maximum exposure for Tampa Electric Company is the obligation to pay for such capacity under terms of the PPA at rates that could be unfavorable to the wholesale market. Under this PPA, Tampa Electric Company purchased $5.9 million and $13.0 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2011, respectively, and $17.6 million and $30.3 million for the three and six months ended Jun. 30, 2010, respectively.

Tampa Electric Company does not provide any material financial or other support to any of the VIEs it is involved with, nor is it under any obligation to absorb losses associated with these VIEs. In the normal course of business, Tampa Electric Company’s involvement with the remaining VIEs does not affect its Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets, Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

Operating Results

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011

TECO Energy, Inc. reported second quarter net income of $77.5 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $75.5 million, or $0.35 per share, in the second quarter of 2010. Results in the second quarter of 2010 were reduced by a $4.1 million charge related to early debt retirement.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Year-to-date net income and earnings per share were $129.2 million, or $0.60 per share, in 2011, compared to $131.3 million, or $0.61 per share, in the same period in 2010. Year-to-date results in 2010 were reduced by charges of $21.2 million, primarily for early retirement of TECO Energy and TECO Finance notes.

Operating Company Results

All amounts included in the operating company and Parent & other results discussions below are after tax, unless otherwise noted.

Tampa Electric Company – Electric Division

Tampa Electric reported net income for the second quarter of $58.4 million, compared with $56.8 million for the same period in 2010. Results for the quarter reflected a 0.7% higher average number of customers, higher earnings on nitrogen oxide (NOx) control projects, and lower operations and maintenance expenses.

Total degree days in Tampa Electric’s service area were 12% above normal, but essentially in line with the second quarter of 2010. Total net energy for load, which is a calendar measurement of retail energy sales rather than a billing cycle measurement, decreased 2.3% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The quarterly energy sales shown on the statistical summary below reflects the energy sales based on the timing of billing cycles, which can vary period to period. Lower retail energy sales were driven primarily by lower sales to industrial-phosphate customers due to increased self-generation capacity, and the operation of a generating unit in 2011 by an industrial-phosphate customer in 2011, who had experienced an outage in 2010.

Table of Contents

Operations and maintenance expense, excluding all FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses, decreased $5.3 million, reflecting higher generating system maintenance expenses, which were more than offset by lower accruals for performance-based incentive compensation for all employees. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.0 million due to additions to facilities to serve customers.

Year-to-date net income was $90.0 million, compared with $104.9 million in the 2010 period, driven primarily by lower energy sales due to milder winter weather than the record cold 2010 winter season, partially offset by 0.7% higher average number of customers, lower operations and maintenance expenses, and higher earnings on NOx control projects.

Total degree days in Tampa Electric’s service area were 9% above normal, but 9% below the prior year-to-date period. Pretax base revenue was $25 to $30 million lower than 2010, primarily reflecting the milder weather and the voluntary conservation that typically occurs during periods without extreme weather.

In the 2011 year-to-date period, total net energy for load declined 6.5% compared to the same period in 2010. The year-to-date energy sales shown on the statistical summary below reflects the higher sales associated with the late December 2010 cold weather that are included in 2011 billed sales. Lower retail energy sales were driven primarily by milder winter weather and lower sales to industrial-phosphate customers, due to the factors described above. Sales to commercial and industrial-other customers reflect the modest improvements in the Florida economy experienced by certain customers, primarily medical facilities and certain manufacturers.

Operations and maintenance expense, excluding all FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses, decreased $7.7 million. Higher spending on generating unit maintenance was more than offset by lower accruals of performance-based incentive compensation for all employees.

Compared to the 2010 year-to-date period, depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.2 million, reflecting the additions to facilities to serve customers discussed above.

Tampa Electric Company – Natural Gas Division (Peoples Gas)

Peoples Gas reported net income of $5.9 million for the second quarter, compared to $5.1 million in the same period in 2010. Quarterly results reflect a 0.6% higher average number of customers, lower sales to residential customers due to mild spring weather and increased sales volumes to interruptible industrial customers due to the operation of several higher-usage customers that were idle in the 2010 period. Non-fuel operations and maintenance expense decreased slightly due to lower accruals of performance-based incentive compensation for all employees, partially offset by $2.1 million of expense related to the defense of environmental contamination claims. Results in the 2010 quarter included a $2.4 million provision related to potential earnings above the top of the allowed return on equity (ROE) range as a result of the unprecedented cold winter weather in 2010, and Peoples Gas expectation that it would earn above the top of its allowed ROE range of 9.75% to 11.75%. Results also reflect increased depreciation expense due to routine plant additions.

Peoples Gas reported net income of $20.6 million for the year-to-date period, compared to $23.0 million in the same period in 2010. Results reflect a 0.7% higher average number of customers, but lower usage by residential and commercial customers due to milder weather in the first quarter compared to the unusually cold winter weather in 2010. Increased sales volumes to industrial customers reflect the operation of several higher-usage customers that were idle in the 2010 period. Gas transported for power generation customers increased over the 2010 year-to-date period due to lower natural gas prices that made it more economical to use natural gas for power generation. Non-fuel operations and maintenance expense was essentially unchanged from the 2010 period, driven primarily by the same factors as in the second quarter.

TECO Coal

TECO Coal achieved second quarter net income of $15.8 million on sales of 2.1 million tons, compared to $20.7 million on sales of 2.4 million tons in the same period in 2010. Results in 2010 included a $2.0 million benefit from the settlement of state income tax issues recorded in prior years.

In 2011, results reflect an average net per-ton selling price, excluding transportation allowances, of slightly more than $89 per ton, almost 16% higher than in 2010, and above prior guidance due to a sales mix that was more heavily weighted to metallurgical and PCI coal. In the second quarter of 2011, the all-in total per-ton cost of production increased to $79 per ton, which is above the cost guidance range previously provided. Cost of production in the second quarter was driven by higher contract miner costs, higher costs of all supplies that are oil-related such as conveyor belts and tires, and lower productivity due to adverse weather. TECO Coal’s effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was 24%, the same as the 2010 period.

TECO Coal recorded year-to-date net income of $24.0 million on sales of 4.1 million tons in 2011, compared to $37.5 million on sales of 4.6 million tons in the 2010 period. In 2010, year-to-date net income included a $5.3 million benefit from the settlement of state income tax issues recorded in prior years. The year-to-date sales mix was driven by the same factors as in the second quarter. The 2011 year-to-date average net per-ton selling price was $85 per ton and the all-in total per-ton cost of production was approximately $78 per ton. TECO Coal’s effective income tax rate was 22%, compared to 23%, excluding the effect of the state income tax settlements discussed above, in the 2010 year-to-date period.

TECO Coal’s year-to-date cost of production includes $0.35 per ton of costs associated with core drilling and exploration activities in an ongoing program to identify additional specialty coal (metallurgical and PCI) reserves on properties already under its control. These activities to identify incremental specialty coal reserves are in support of TECO Coal’s efforts to grow specialty coal sales to 50% of the sales mix within two years.

TECO Guatemala

TECO Guatemala reported second quarter net income of $5.6 million in 2011, compared to $10.6 million in the 2010 period. Year-to-date 2011 net income was $11.9 million, compared to $21.0 million in the 2010 period. Results in the 2011 quarter reflect no earnings from DECA II (sold in October 2010), which were $4.8 million and $8.0 million in the 2010 quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, and $1.7 million and $3.5 million lower capacity payments in the 2010 quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, related to the Alborada Power Station contract extension, which became effective September 2010. Results at the San José Power Station also reflect normal capacity payments compared to 2010 when the payments were reduced for a portion of the quarter due to unplanned outages in 2009, higher prices for spot energy sales, and lower interest expense due to lower rates on the non-recourse debt.

Parent & other

The cost for Parent & other in the second quarter of 2011 was $8.2 million, compared to a cost of $17.7 million in the same period in 2010. Results in 2011 reflect $3.5 million lower interest expense as a result of the 2011 debt retirements and the 2010 debt restructuring and retirement actions. In 2010, the cost for Parent & other included a $4.1 million charge for parent debt retirement. Results in 2010 also included a $0.7 million negative valuation adjustment to foreign tax credits based on estimated foreign source income and projected timing of the utilization of the net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards.

The year-to-date Parent & other cost was $17.3 million in 2011, compared to $55.1 million in the 2010 period. Results in 2011 reflect $7.3 million lower interest expense as a result of the 2011 debt retirements and the 2010 debt restructuring and retirement actions. The 2010 year-to-date cost included $20.3 million of debt retirement charges and $0.9 million of final restructuring charges. In 2010, the year-to-date cost for Parent & other also included negative valuation adjustments to foreign tax credits totaling $5.9 million, and a $1.1 million charge to adjust deferred tax balances related to the Medicare Part D subsidies as a result of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act enacted in the first quarter.

Income Taxes

The provisions for income taxes from continuing operations for the six month periods ended Jun. 30, 2011 and 2010, were $72.5 million and $70.4 million, respectively.

Tampa Electric Company

     BBB+         Baa1         A-   

TECO Energy/TECO Finance

     BBB         Baa3         BBB   

On May 27, 2011, Standard & Poor’s upgraded Tampa Electric Company, TECO Finance and TECO Energy to BBB+, BBB and BBB, respectively, all with stable outlooks.

On Mar. 24, 2011, Fitch Ratings upgraded Tampa Electric Company, TECO Finance and TECO Energy to A-, BBB and BBB, respectively, all with stable outlooks.

Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch describe credit ratings in the BBB or Baa category as representing adequate capacity for payment of financial obligations. Fitch describes credit ratings in the A category as representing strong capacity for payment of financial obligations. The lowest investment grade credit ratings for Standard & Poor’s is BBB-, for Moody’s is Baa3 and for Fitch is BBB-; thus all three credit rating agencies assign TECO Energy, TECO Finance and Tampa Electric Company’s senior unsecured debt investment grade ratings.

A credit rating agency rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Our access to capital markets and cost of financing, including the applicability of restrictive financial covenants, are influenced by the ratings of our securities. In addition, certain of Tampa Electric Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions that require Tampa Electric Company’s debt to maintain an investment grade credit rating. See Note 13 to the TECO Energy, Inc., Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The credit ratings listed above are included in this report in order to provide information that may be relevant to these matters and because downgrades, if any, in credit ratings may affect our ability to borrow and may increase financing costs, which may decrease earnings. These credit ratings are not necessarily applicable to any particular security that we may offer and therefore should not be relied upon for making a decision to buy, sell or hold any of our securities.

2011 Guidance and Business Drivers

Based on strong year-to-date actual results and expectations for the remainder of the year consistent with prior guidance, TECO Energy is maintaining its 2011 earnings per share guidance range of $1.25 to $1.40, excluding charges and gains, and is updating its business drivers as discussed below.

Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas expect to earn their respective allowed returns on equity authorized in their 2009 base rate proceedings. Tampa Electric expects customer growth to continue to be in line with the trends experienced in 2010; however, due to the unusual weather experienced in 2010, it expects lower energy sales in 2011 assuming normal weather. In 2010, weather added between $30 and $40 million to pretax base revenue at Tampa Electric. Also in 2010, Tampa Electric reduced base revenue $24 million as a one-time item under its regulatory agreement approved by the FPSC.

TECO Coal now expects 2011 sales of between 8.2 million and 8.5 million tons at an average selling price across all products of more than $88 per ton, which is $1 per ton higher than at the time guidance was originally provided, due to a higher percentage of specialty coal sales. The lower coal sales are driven by the year-to-date delays in mine plan approvals by regulatory authorities and the availability of contract miners. All of the expected 2011 sales are under contract. The selling price will average more than $90 per ton over the remainder of the year due to the completion of shipments of tons to European customers under contracts signed in 2010 in the first quarter. The 2011 product mix is expected to be about 45% specialty coal, which includes stoker, metallurgical and PCI coals, and the remainder utility steam coal. The cost of production is now expected to be at the high end of the previously provided cost range of $74 and $78 per ton, due to higher contract miner costs, higher safety related costs, higher royalties and severance costs, which are a function of selling price, and higher surface mining cost, primarily due to longer hauling distances as a result of delays in the issuance of permits. TECO Coal’s effective income tax rate is expected to be about 25% for the full year.

The guidance assumes normal operations for the Alborada and San José power stations in Guatemala. TECO Guatemala extended the power sales contract for the Alborada Power Station for five years at rates approximately 55%, or $7.0 million after tax on an annual basis, below the previous contract level effective Sep. 14, 2010. TECO Guatemala’s results will reflect the absence of earnings from DECA II, which was sold in October 2010. Prior to the sale, DECA II contributed $13.1 million to 2010 net income at TECO Guatemala.

Parent & other interest cost in 2011 will reflect the December 2010 early retirement of $236 million of TECO Energy and TECO Finance notes due in 2012, and the repayment of $64 million of notes at maturity on May 1, 2011.

This guidance is provided in the form of a range to allow for varying outcomes with respect to important variables, such as the strength of the economic and housing market recovery in Florida, weather and customer usage at the Florida utilities, and margins at TECO Coal.

Fair Value Measurements

All natural gas derivatives were entered into by the regulated utilities to manage the impact of natural gas prices on customers. As a result of applying accounting standards for regulated operations, the changes in value of natural gas derivatives of Tampa Electric and PGS are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities to reflect the impact of the risks of hedging activities in the fuel recovery clause. Because the amounts are deferred and ultimately collected through the fuel clause, the unrealized gains and losses associated with the valuation of these assets and liabilities do not impact our results of operations.

Heating oil hedges are used to mitigate the fluctuations in the price of diesel fuel which is a significant component in the cost of coal production at TECO Coal and its subsidiaries.

The valuation methods we used to determine fair value are described in Note 13 to the TECO Energy, Inc. Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. In addition, the company considered the impact of nonperformance risk in determining the fair value of derivatives. The company considered the net position with each counterparty, past performance of both parties and the intent of the parties, indications of credit deterioration, and whether the markets in which we transact have experienced dislocation. At Jun. 30, 2011 the fair value of derivatives was not materially affected by nonperformance risk. Our net positions with substantially all counterparties were liability positions.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies relate to deferred income taxes, employee postretirement benefits, long-lived assets and regulatory accounting. For further discussion of our critical accounting policies, see TECO Energy, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. We may enter into futures, swaps and option contracts, in accordance with the approved risk management policies and procedures, to moderate this exposure to interest rate changes and achieve a desired level of fixed and variable rate debt.

Commodity Risk

We face varying degrees of exposure to commodity risks including coal, natural gas, fuel oil and other energy commodity prices. Any changes in prices could affect the prices these businesses charge, their operating costs and the competitive position of their products and services, and affect the net fair value of derivatives. We assess and monitor risk using a variety of measurement tools based on the degree of exposure of each operating company to commodity risk. Our most significant commodity risk exposure for the remainder of 2011 is the potential effect of high natural gas prices on our cash flows. Prudently incurred costs for natural gas are recoverable through FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses, and therefore do not affect our earnings. However, higher than expected prices for natural gas can affect the timing of recovery and thus impact cash flows.

The change in fair value of derivatives is largely due to the decrease in the average fixed price component of the company’s outstanding natural gas swaps of approximately 11% from Dec. 31, 2010 to Jun. 30, 2011. For natural gas, the company maintains a similar volume hedged as of Jun. 30, 2011 from Dec. 31, 2010.
