ITEM 8. — CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

UniSource Energy — Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

UniSource Energy Corporation’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the UniSource Energy Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control — Integrated Framework.

Based on management’s assessment using those criteria, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, UniSource Energy Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders’ of
UniSource Energy Corporation:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of UniSource Energy Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the Index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

As described in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements, the company changed the manner in which it accounts for income taxes as a result of implementing FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes— an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 as of January 1, 2007.

As described in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the company changed the manner in which it accounts for pension and post-retirement obligations as a result of implementing Financial Accounting Standards Board Standard No. 158 as of December 31, 2006.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

*		TEP’s Variable Rate Industrial Development Bonds (IDBs) are backed by letters of credit (LOCs) issued pursuant to TEP’s Credit Agreement which expires in August 2011 and the TEP Letter of Credit facility which expires in April 2011. Although the Variable Rate IDBs mature between 2018 and 2029, the above maturity reflects a redemption or repurchase of such bonds in 2011 as though the LOCs terminate without replacement upon expiration of the TEP Credit Agreement. Weighted average interest rates on this variable rate tax-exempt debt ranged from 0.55% to 8.09% during 2008, 3.11% to 3.95% during 2007, and 2.95% to 3.96% during 2006, and the average interest rate on such debt was 2.11% in 2008, 3.64% in 2007, and 3.47% in 2006.

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

TEP, a regulated public utility, is UniSource Energy’s largest operating subsidiary and represented approximately 81% of UniSource Energy’s assets as of December 31, 2008. TEP generates, transmits and distributes electricity to approximately 400,000 retail electric customers in a 1,155 square mile area in Southern Arizona. TEP also sells electricity to other utilities and power marketing entities primarily located in the Western U.S. In addition, TEP operates Springerville Unit 3 on behalf of Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc. (Tri-State).

UES holds the common stock of UNS Gas, Inc. (UNS Gas) and UNS Electric, Inc. (UNS Electric). UNS Gas is a gas distribution company with 146,000 retail customers in Mohave, Yavapai, Coconino, and Navajo counties in Northern Arizona, as well as Santa Cruz County in South Central Arizona. UNS Electric is an electric transmission and distribution company with approximately 90,000 retail customers in Mohave and Santa Cruz counties.

Millennium invests in unregulated businesses. On March 31, 2006, UniSource Energy completed the sale of all of the capital stock of Global Solar, Inc. (Global Solar), Millennium’s largest subsidiary, to a third party. We present Global Solar’s operations throughout this report as discontinued operations. See Note 16.

In May 2008, UED completed the development of the Black Mountain Generating Station (BMGS), a 90 MW gas turbine generating facility in Northern Arizona and, through a five-year power sale agreement (PPA), is providing energy to UNS Electric.

We conduct our business in three primary business segments — TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric.

References to “we” and “our” are to UniSource Energy and its subsidiaries, collectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

We account for our investments in subsidiaries using the consolidation method when we hold a majority of a subsidiary’s voting stock and we can exercise control over the subsidiary. The accounts of the subsidiary and parent are combined, and intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated. Intercompany profits on transactions between regulated entities are not eliminated.

We use the equity method to report corporate joint ventures, partnerships, and affiliated company investments when we can demonstrate the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of an investee company. Equity method investments are recorded at cost and appear on a single line item on the balance sheet and net income (loss) from the entity is reflected in Other Income on the income statements. Quarterly, we review the equity investments and where there is an other-than-temporary impairment, we recognize the loss in earnings.

USE OF ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

We make estimates and assumptions to prepare financial statements under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP). These estimates and assumptions affect:

•

A portion of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements;

•

Our disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements; and

•

A portion of revenues and expenses reported during the periods presented.

Because these estimates involve judgments, the actual amounts may differ from the estimates.

ACCOUNTING FOR RATE REGULATION

The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulate portions of TEP’s, UNS Gas’ and UNS Electric’s utility accounting practices and rates. The ACC authorizes certain rates charged to retail customers, the issuance of securities, and transactions with affiliated parties. The FERC regulates TEP’s and UNS Electric’s rates for wholesale power sales and transmission services.

We apply the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation (FAS 71) to the regulated portion of TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric. Beginning in December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations. See Note 2. In accordance with FAS 71, regulatory assets and liabilities are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Regulatory assets are the deferral of costs expected to be recovered in future customer rates and regulatory liabilities represent current recovery of expected future costs.

The conditions a regulated company must satisfy to apply the accounting policies and practices of FAS 71 include:

	•		An independent regulator sets rates;

	•		The regulator sets the rates to recover the specific enterprise’s costs of providing service; and

	•		The service territory lacks competitive pressures to reduce rates below the rates set by the regulator.

We evaluate our regulatory assets each period and believe recovery is probable. We have received or requested return on certain regulatory assets for which we are currently recovering or seeking recovery through rates. If we were required to terminate application of FAS 71 to all of our regulated operations, we would have to record an extraordinary gain (loss) in the income statement and an after-tax loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) to remove all of the regulatory assets and liabilities in the balance sheet at that time. See Note 2.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

We define Cash and Cash Equivalents as cash (unrestricted demand deposits) and all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

K/A-17



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

UTILITY PLANT

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric report utility plant at cost. Costs included in utility plant are materials and labor, contractor services, construction overhead (where applicable), and an Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) or capitalized interest during construction.

Costs to replace major units of property are included in utility plant. The cost of planned major maintenance activities, including scheduled overhauls at TEP’s generation plants, is recorded as the costs are actually incurred. Replacement of capital equipment included in plant maintenance activities is capitalized to utility plant. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric charge the cost of repairs and minor replacements to Other Operations and Maintenance expense.

When a unit of regulated property is retired the original cost less any salvage value is credited or charged to accumulated depreciation. Prior to December 2008, before TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations, interim retirements of unregulated generation plant, together with the cost of removal less salvage, were charged to accumulated depreciation. Gains and losses resulting from the final retirement of unregulated properties are credited or charged to the income statement and the corresponding cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the balance sheet.

AFUDC and Capitalized Interest

AFUDC, which reflects the cost of debt or equity funds used to finance construction, is capitalized as part of the cost of regulated utility plant. AFUDC applies to all regulated operations that follow FAS 71. AFUDC amounts capitalized are included in rate base for establishing utility rates. For operations that do not apply FAS 71, interest related only to debt is capitalized as a cost of construction. The interest capitalized that relates to debt reduces Other Interest Expense on the income statement. The interest capitalized that relates to equity funds is recorded as Other Income. Beginning in December 2008, when TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations, TEP began capitalizing interest that relates to equity funds. See Note 2.

Depreciation

TEP, UNS Gas, UNS Electric and UED compute depreciation for owned utility plant on a straight-line basis at rates based on the economic lives of the assets. See Note 6. The ACC approves depreciation rates for all utility plant, except that of UED. Depreciation rates are based on average useful lives and reflect estimated removal costs, net of estimated salvage value for interim retirements. Prior to December 2008, before TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations, the depreciable lives for TEP’s generation assets were based on remaining useful lives. We have summarized the average annual depreciation rates for all utility plants below.


Year	TEP			UNS Gas			UNS Electric			UED
2008		3.33	%		2.77	%		4.47	%		2.57	%
2007		3.35	%		3.28	%		4.60	%		n/a
2006		3.21	%		3.05	%		4.52	%		n/a

Computer Software Costs

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric capitalize costs incurred to purchase computer software and amortize those costs over the estimated economic life of the product. If the software is no longer useful, we immediately charge capitalized computer software costs to expense. TEP amortized capitalized computer software costs of $7 million in 2008, $9 million in 2007, and $7 million in 2006.

TEP Utility Plant under Capital Leases

TEP financed the following generation assets with capital leases: Springerville Common Facilities, Springerville Unit 1, Springerville Coal Handling Facilities, and Sundt Unit 4. The following table shows the amount of lease expense incurred for TEP’s generation-related capital leases. The lease terms are described in TEP Capital Lease Obligations in Note 7.

Total Lease Expense	$	82	$	89	$	98

INVESTMENTS IN LEASE DEBT AND EQUITY

TEP’s investments in lease debt and equity are interests in two of TEP’s capital leases: Springerville Unit 1 and Springerville Coal Handling Facilities. See Note 7. These investments do not reduce the capital lease obligations reflected on the balance sheet because there is no legal right of offset. TEP makes lease payments to a trustee who then distributes to debt and equity holders.

TEP’s investments in lease debt are considered to be held-to-maturity investments because TEP has the ability and intent to hold until maturity. TEP records these investments at amortized cost and recognizes interest income. TEP presents these investments in Investments in Lease Debt and Equity on the balance sheet and classifies them as investing activities on its cash flow statements. See Note 8.

JOINTLY-OWNED FACILITIES

TEP has investments in several plants and transmission facilities jointly owned with other utilities. These projects are accounted for on a proportionate consolidation basis. See Note 6.

K/A-19



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (FAS 143) requires entities to record the estimated present value of a liability for a legal obligation to retire an asset in the future. FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations (FIN 47), requires entities to record the estimated present value of a liability for a legal obligation to perform asset retirement activity even if the timing and (or) method of settlement depends on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.

TEP records a liability for the estimated present value of a conditional asset retirement obligation related to its generation assets as follows:

•

when it is able to reasonably estimate the fair value of any future obligation to retire as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance or contract; or

•

if it can reasonably estimate the fair value.

When the liability is initially recorded at net present value, TEP capitalizes the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, TEP adjusts the liability to its present value by recognizing accretion expense as an operating expense each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon retirement of the asset, TEP either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss if the actual costs differ from the recorded amount.

Beginning in December 2008, when TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations, TEP began recording cost of removal for its generation assets that is recoverable through rates charged to customers. See Note 2. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric record cost of removal for their transmission and distribution assets through depreciation rates and recover those amounts in rates charged to their customers. There are no legal obligations associated with these assets. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric have recorded their obligation for estimated costs of removal as regulatory liabilities.

EVALUATION OF ASSETS FOR IMPAIRMENT

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric evaluate their Utility Plant and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the value of the assets may be impaired. If the fair value of the asset, determined based on the undiscounted expected future cash flows, is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment charge would be recorded.

Millennium evaluates its investments for impairment at the end of each quarter. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss would be recorded. See Note 3.

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

We defer costs related to the issuance of debt and amortize on a straight-line basis over the life of the debt. These costs include underwriters’ commissions, discounts or premiums, and other costs such as legal, accounting and regulatory fees and printing costs.

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric defer and amortize the gains and losses on reacquired debt associated with their regulated operations to interest expense over the remaining life of the original debt. Prior to December 2008, when TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations, TEP recognized gains and losses on reacquired debt, including unamortized debt issuance costs, associated with its generation operations, as incurred.

UTILITY OPERATING REVENUES

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric record utility operating revenues when services are provided or commodities are delivered to customers. Operating revenues include unbilled revenues which are earned (service has been provided) but not billed by the end of an accounting period.

K/A-20



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Amounts delivered are determined through systematic monthly readings of customer meters. At the end of the month, the usage since the last meter reading is estimated and the corresponding unbilled revenue is calculated. Unbilled revenue is calculated based on daily generation or purchased volumes, estimated customer usage by class, estimated line losses and estimated average customer rates. Accrued unbilled revenues are reversed the following month when actual billings occur. The accuracy of the unbilled revenue estimate is affected by factors that include fluctuations in energy demands, weather, line losses, and changes in the composition of customer classes.

Beginning in January 2009, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP will have a rate-adjustment mechanism that will provide for the recovery of purchased natural gas and electric fuel and purchased energy cost. UNS Gas and UNS Electric have rate-adjustment mechanisms in place that allow for a revenue surcharge or surcredit (that adjusts the customer’s base rate for delivered purchased power) to collect or return under- or over- recovery of costs. These rate-adjustment mechanisms are revised periodically and may increase or decrease the level of costs recovered through base rates for any difference between the total amount collected under the clauses and the recoverable costs incurred. See Note 2.

TEP’s wholesale revenue and purchased power costs from settled energy contracts that are not physically delivered are reported on a net basis in Electric Wholesale Sales. The corresponding cash receipts and payments are recorded in the statement of cash flows as Cash Receipts from Electric Wholesale Sales and Purchased Energy Costs Paid, respectively.

We record an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to reduce accounts receivable for revenue amounts that are estimated to be uncollectible. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection experience and any specific customer collection issues that are identified. TEP’s Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $17 million at December 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007. UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s combined Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $3 million at December 31, 2008 and $2 million at December 31, 2007.

INVENTORY

TEP records fuel inventory, primarily coal, at weighted average cost. TEP uses full absorption costing, under which all handling and procurement costs are included in the cost of the inventory. Examples of these costs include direct material, direct labor, overhead costs and transportation costs. See Note 5 regarding fuel purchase contracts.

Materials and supplies consist of transmission and distribution line construction and repair materials and generating station and transmission and distribution substation repair materials. Materials and supplies inventories are recorded at cost.

FUEL AND PURCHASED ENERGY COSTS

TEP and UNS Electric Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause (PPFAC)

Beginning in January 2009, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP will defer differences between purchased energy costs and the recovery of such costs in rates. UNS Electric also defers differences between purchased energy costs and the recovery of such costs in rates. Where applicable, fuel cost over-recoveries (the excess of fuel costs recovered in base rates over fuel costs incurred) are deferred as current regulatory liabilities and under-recoveries (the excess of fuel costs incurred over fuel costs recovered in base rates) are deferred as current regulatory assets. The 2008 TEP Rate Order requires TEP to credit, with interest, $58 million of Fixed CTC true-up revenues, charged from May 2008 to November 30, 2008, to customers through the PPFAC. See Note 2.

UNS Gas Purchased Gas Adjustor (PGA)

UNS Gas defers differences between gas purchase costs and the recovery of such costs in base rates under a Purchased Gas Adjustor (PGA) mechanism. The PGA mechanism addresses the volatility of natural gas prices and allows UNS Gas to recover its commodity costs through a price adjustor. UNS Gas may change the PGA factor monthly based on an ACC approved mechanism that compares the twelve-month rolling weighted average gas cost, subject to limitations on how much the price per therm may change in a twelve-month period. The difference between the actual cost of UNS Gas’ gas supplies and transportation contracts and that currently allowed by the ACC is deferred and recovered or repaid through the PGA mechanism. When under-or over-recovery trigger points are met, UNS Gas may request a PGA surcharge or surcredit with the goal of collecting or returning the amount deferred from or to customers, with interest, over a twelve-month period. See Note 2.

K/A-21



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

INCOME TAXES

GAAP requires us to report some of our assets and liabilities differently for our financial statements than we do for income tax purposes. We reflect the tax effects of these differences as deferred income tax assets or liabilities in our balance sheets. We measure these deferred tax assets and liabilities using current income tax rates. Federal and state income tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense in the year in which the credit arises.

GAAP requires that regulated enterprises that apply FAS 71 record a deferred income tax liability for tax benefits that are flowed through to a customer when temporary differences arise. A regulatory asset is established for the future increases in taxes payable and is recovered from customers through future rates as temporary differences reverse. TEP became fully normalized in 1990 and temporary differences, arising after that point in time, do not flow through to ratepayers. The balance in the regulatory asset Income Taxes Recoverable Through Future Revenues relates to flow through years prior to 1990. See Note 2.

We allocate income taxes to the subsidiaries based on their taxable income and deductions as reported in the consolidated tax return filings.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FAS 109 (FIN 48), which requires us to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that we will sustain a tax position under examination. TEP recorded the cumulative effects of applying this interpretation as an increase of less than $1 million to retained earnings and the recognition of a $13 million uncertain tax liability. The ongoing recognition of changes in measurement of uncertain tax positions are reflected as a component of income tax expense.

UniSource Energy and TEP record interest on unrecognized tax benefits or liabilities as either Interest Income or Interest Expense in the income statements. No penalties were incurred in the periods reported.

TAXES OTHER THAN INCOME TAXES

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric act as conduits or collection agents for excise tax (sales tax) as well as franchise fees and regulatory assessments. We record liabilities payable to governmental agencies when they charge their customers for these amounts. Neither the amounts charged nor payable are reflected in the income statement.

EMISSION ALLOWANCES

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issues emission allowances to qualifying utilities based on past operational history. Each allowance permits emission of one ton of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) in its vintage year or a subsequent year. TEP receives an allotment of these SO₂emission allowances annually; UNS Electric and UED do not receive SO₂emission allowances since neither has coal-fired generation. When issued from the EPA, these SO₂emission allowances have no book value for accounting purposes but may be sold if TEP does not need them for operations. TEP may also purchase additional SO₂emission allowances if needed. Purchased SO₂emission allowances are recorded at cost. Beginning in January 2009, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP will credit 50% of the gains from the sales of SO₂emission allowances to the PPFAC. The remaining 50% of gains from sales of excess SO₂ emissionallowances will be reflected as a reduction of Other Operations and Maintenance expense on TEP’s income statement when title passes and in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 100% of gains from sales of excess SO₂emission allowances were reflected as a reduction of Other Operations and Maintenance expense in the periods presented.

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

RENEWABLE ENERGY STANDARDS TARIFF (REST)

In June 2008, the ACC approved a REST surcharge for TEP and UNS Electric. The surcharge is intended to recover the cost of qualified renewable expenditures, such as payments to customers who have renewable energy resources or the incremental cost of renewable power generated or purchased by TEP or UNS Electric. To the extent that the surcharge matches qualified renewable expenditures, TEP and UNS Electric recognize revenue that is reflected in the income statement as Other Revenue. Any surcharge collected in excess of qualified renewable expenditures will be reflected in the financial statements as a current regulatory liability. Conversely, qualified renewable expenditures in excess of the REST surcharge will be reflected as a current regulatory asset. See Note 2.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric are exposed to energy price risk associated with their gas and purchased power requirements, volumetric risk associated with their seasonal load and operational risk associated with their power plants, transmission and transportation systems. This risk is mitigated through the PPFAC and PGA mechanisms which provides an adjustment to TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s retail rates to recover the actual costs of purchased power, gas, transmission and transportation. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric further reduce these risks through a variety of derivative and non-derivative instruments. See Note 4.

On the date the company enters into a contract that is considered a derivative instrument, we apply one of the following accounting treatments:

•

Cash Flow Hedges are used by TEP to hedge the cash flow risk associated with unfavorable changes in the variable interest rate on the Springerville Common Lease. The effective portion of the changes in the market prices of cash flow hedges are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in (AOCI and the ineffective portion, if any, is recognized in earnings.

We formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives have been and are expected to remain highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items. We discontinue hedge accounting when: (1) the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; (2) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised; (3) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction will occur; or (4) we determine that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.

When TEP determines that a contract is no longer effective in offsetting the changes in cash flows of a hedged item TEP recognizes changes in fair value in earnings. The gains and losses at that time remain in AOCI and are reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged transaction occurs.

Prior to December 2008, TEP and UNS Gas hedged the changes in cash flows that are to be received or paid in connection with gas swap agreements and forward power sales. These contracts hedged the cash flow risk associated with TEP’s summer load requirements and its forecasted excess generation and UNS Gas’ winter load requirement. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts were recorded in AOCI.

Beginning in January 2009, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP is permitted to recover fuel and purchased power costs, including the prudent cost of hedging contracts, through the PPFAC. UNS Gas is also permitted, through its PGA mechanism, to recover the prudent cost of hedging contracts. At December 31, 2008, TEP and UNS Gas reclassified the unrealized gains and losses for commodity contracts that are eligible to be recovered through the PPFAC or PGA as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability rather than as a component of AOCI.

Mark-to-Market transactions include:

	•		TEP non-trading hedges, such as forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas or short-term forward power sales contracts, that did not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment or did not qualify for the normal scope exception. Prior to December 2008, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market prices of non-trading hedges or short-term forward power sales contracts were recorded on the same line in the income statement as the hedged transaction. Beginning in December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, which permits recovery in the PPFAC of hedging transactions, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability.

	•		TEP trading derivatives which are forward power purchase and sale contracts entered into to reduce our exposure to energy and commodity prices. As unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market prices of trading derivatives are not recoverable in the PPFAC, unrealized gains and losses are recorded in the income statement in Electric Wholesale Sales.

	•		UNS Electric derivatives such as forward power purchases and gas swaps. In December 2006, UNS Electric received authorization from the ACC to defer the unrealized gains and losses on the balance sheet as a regulatory asset or a regulatory liability rather than as a component of AOCI or in the income statement.

	•		UNS Gas derivatives such as forward gas purchases and gas swaps. Beginning in December 2008, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability, as the UNS Gas PGA mechanism permits the recovery of the prudent cost of hedging contracts.

These mark-to-market contracts are subject to specified risk parameters established and monitored by UniSource Energy’s Risk Management Committee.

•

Normal Purchase and Normal Sale transactions are forward energy purchase and sales contracts entered into by TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric to support the current load forecast and entered into with a counterparty with load serving requirements or generating capacity. These contracts are not required to be marked-to-market and are accounted for on an accrual basis. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our counterparties for non-performance risk to ensure it does not impact our ability to obtain the normal scope exception.

We consider the effect of counterparty credit risk in determining the fair value of derivative instruments that are in a net asset position, after incorporating collateral posted by counterparties, and allocate the credit risk adjustment to individual contracts. We also incorporate the impact of our own credit risk, after considering collateral posted, on instruments that are in a net liability position and allocate the credit risk adjustment to all individual contracts.

Although TEP’s and MEG’s gains and losses on trading activities are recorded on a net basis in the income statement, we report the related cash receipts and cash payments separately in the statement of cash flows.

We present cash collateral and derivative assets and liabilities, associated with the same counterparty, separately in our financial statements and we bifurcate all derivatives into their current and long-term portions on the balance sheet.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

UniSource Energy has a stock-based long-term incentive plan. UniSource Energy measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award (with some limited exceptions). Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (the “requisite service period”) which typically will be the vesting period. Compensation cost is not recognized for anticipated forfeitures of equity instruments prior to vesting. Our share-based compensation plans are described more fully in Note 12.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

UniSource and TEP adopted the following recently issued accounting standards:

•

FAS 157, Fair Value Measurement, issued September 2006, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in the principal market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. See Note 13.

•

FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active — issued and effective October 2008, provides guidance clarifying how FAS 157 Fair Value Measures (FAS 157) should be applied in markets that are not active. The guidance reaffirms the notion of fair value as an exit price as of the measurement date. The FSP emphasizes that approaches other than the market value approach to determine fair value, such as the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows and appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, may be appropriate. See Note 13.

The following recently issued accounting standards are not yet reflected in the UniSource Energy and TEP financial statements:

•

EITF 08-6, Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations, issued January 2009, requires an entity to apply the cost accumulation model when determining the carrying value of an equity investment. Share issuances by the investee should be accounted for as if the equity investee had sold a proportionate share of its investment with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. In addition, the EITF requires that impairment testing be performed at an overall investment level. The standard is applicable for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

•

FAS 161, Disclosures About Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment to FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, issued March 2008, requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activity. The standard requires that the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk so that the reader understands the purpose of derivative use in terms of the risks that the entity is intending to manage. The standard also requires disclosure of the location in the financial statements of derivative balances as well as the location of gains and losses incurred during the reporting period. The standard will be applicable for fiscal years or interim periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008 with early adoption encouraged. We will adopt the requirements of this pronouncement in our 2009 first quarter Form 10-Q.

•

FSP FAS 132(R)-1 Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets issued in December 2008, amends Statement 132(R)-1 to require more detailed disclosures about employers’ plan assets, including employers’ investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk within plan assets, and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. We will adopt the requirements of this pronouncement in our 2009 Form 10-K.

RECLASSIFICATIONS AND OTHER ADJUSTMENTS

To be comparable with the 2008 presentation, UniSource Energy and TEP reclassified in the prior year Statements of Income less than $0.5 million, from Other Income to Interest Income.

In 2008, UniSource Energy recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $2 million ($1.2 million after-tax) related to an investment impairment for a Millennium investment, $1 million ($0.6 million after-tax) of which should have been recorded prior to 2008.

In September 2008, TEP recorded an additional tax expense of $1 million related to a determination that certain accrued tax penalty payments will not be deductible for tax purposes under IRS regulations.

NOTE 2. REGULATORY MATTERS

TEP RATES AND REGULATION

In 1999, the ACC approved a Settlement Agreement (1999 Settlement Agreement) between TEP and certain customer groups related to the implementation of retail electric competition in Arizona. The 1999 Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things, recovery of transition assets and capped rates for TEP customers through 2008. Upon approval of the 1999 Settlement Agreement, TEP discontinued regulatory accounting under FAS 71 for its generation operations. Beginning in December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation related operations. The 1999 Settlement Agreement and the 2008 Rate Order allowed TEP to continue to report its transmission and distribution operations under FAS 71.

K/A-25



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

1999 Settlement Agreement

We believe that the 1999 Settlement Agreement contemplated that TEP’s retail rates for generation service would have been market-based beginning January 1, 2009. As part of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP and all the parties to the 2008 Proposed Settlement Agreement relinquished all claims related to the 1999 Settlement Agreement and the ACC order adopting the 1999 Settlement Agreement.

1999 Transition Recovery Asset

TEP’s Transition Recovery Asset consisted of generation-related regulatory assets and a portion of TEP’s generation plant asset costs. Transition costs that were recovered through the Fixed CTC included: (1) the Transition Recovery Regulatory Asset; (2) a small portion of generation-related plant assets included in Plant in Service on the balance sheet; and (3) excess capacity deferrals related to operating and capital costs associated with Springerville Unit 2 which were amortized as an off-balance sheet regulatory asset through 2003. In May 2008, TEP fully amortized the remaining Transition Recovery Asset balance, as costs were fully recovered through rates.

In May 2007, the ACC ordered that TEP’s current Fixed CTC revenue remain at its then-current level until the effective date of a final order in the TEP 2008 proposed settlement agreement proceeding. As of December 1, 2008, when new rates went into effect, TEP had collected $58 million of true-up revenues and recorded a $58 million reserve for Fixed CTC revenue to be refunded against its Electric Retail Sales in 2008. The 2008 TEP Rate Order requires TEP to return the Fixed CTC true-up revenues to customers by reducing the PPFAC balance.

These transition costs were amortized as follows:

	2008			2007			2006
	-Millions of Dollars-

TEP 2008 Rate Order

The 2008 TEP Rate Order, issued by the ACC and effective December 1, 2008, provides for a cost of service rate methodology for TEP’s generation assets; an average base rate increase of 6% over TEP’s previous retail rates; a fuel rate included in base rates of 2.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh); a PPFAC effective January 1, 2009; a base rate increase moratorium through January 1, 2013; and a waiver of any claims under the 1999 Settlement Agreement.

As a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations. In addition, in December 2008, TEP began deferring its mark-to-market adjustments as regulatory assets/liabilities for derivative instruments that are expected to be recovered through the PPFAC. TEP also reflected the Fixed CTC revenues to be refunded as part of the PPFAC. See discussion below and Note 4.

K/A-26



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

TEP expects to credit to customers $14 million of Fixed CTC revenue in the next twelve months and classified this amount as Current Regulatory Liabilities — Over-Recovered Purchased Energy Costs. The remaining $44 million is classified as Non-Current Regulatory Liabilities — Over-Recovered Purchased Energy Costs.

Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause

The PPFAC became effective January 1, 2009. The PPFAC allows recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, including demand charges and the prudent costs of contracts for hedging fuel and purchased power costs. The PPFAC consists of a forward component and a true-up component.

•

The forward component will be updated on April 1 of each year, starting in 2009. The forward component will be based on the forecasted fuel and purchased power costs for the 12-month period from April 1 to March 31, less the base cost of fuel and purchased power of 2.9 cents per kWh, which is embedded in base rates. At January 1, 2009, the forward component was zero because of CTC true-up revenues of $58 million that will be credited to customers.

•

The true-up component will reconcile any over/under collected amounts from the preceding 12 month period and will be credited to or recovered from customers in the subsequent year.

In addition to the $58 million of CTC true-up revenues, TEP will credit the following against the PPFAC: 100% of short-term wholesale revenues; 10% of the profit on trading activity; and 50% of the gains from the sales of SO₂ emission allowances.

Ratemaking Methodology for Generation Assets

Rates for generation service are based on a cost-of-service methodology. All generation assets acquired by TEP between the end of the rate case test year (December 31, 2006) and the end of the base rate increase moratorium period (December 31, 2012) shall be included in TEP’s rate base at their respective original depreciated cost, subject to subsequent review and approval by the ACC in future rate cases.

Luna is included in TEP’s original cost rate base at its net book value of $48 million as of December 31, 2006. Springerville Unit 1 non-fuel costs are being recovered through base rates at $25.67 per kilowatt (kW) per month, which approximates the levelized cost of Springerville Unit 1 through the remainder of the lease term.

Depreciation and Net Negative Salvage

On December 1, 2008, TEP implemented new depreciation rates that include a component for net negative salvage value for all generation assets except Luna and new depreciation rates for distribution and general plant assets that will extend the depreciable lives of these assets. The net impact on the income statement is to increase depreciation expense $11 million per year.

	•		Final Mine Reclamation and Retiree Health Care Costs represent costs associated with TEP’s jointly-owned facilities at San Juan, Four Corners and Navajo. TEP is required to recognize the present value of its liability associated with final reclamation and retiree health care obligations. As TEP is permitted to fully recover these costs through the PPFAC when the costs are invoiced by the miners, TEP recorded a regulatory asset.

	•		Unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments (PPFAC) are contracts for which the settled amounts will be recovered through the PPFAC. As TEP expects to recover the final settled amounts through the PPFAC, TEP reclassified amounts previously recorded in the income statement and in AOCI to a regulatory asset.

	•		Deregulation Costs represent deferred expenses that TEP incurred to comply with various ACC deregulation orders.

	•		Property taxes related to generation assets which will be recovered in rates as cash is paid rather than as costs are accrued.

	•		Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits represent the underfunded status of TEP’s defined benefit and other postretirement benefit plans prior to December 2008. As TEP expects to recover these costs in rates, TEP reclassified amounts previously recorded in AOCI to a regulatory asset.

Income Statement Impact of Applying FAS 71

In addition to the impact of reapplying FAS 71, TEP recorded the following amounts in its income statement as a result of applying FAS 71:

Total Expense Increase	$	39	$	91	$	77

If TEP had not applied FAS 71 in these years, the above amounts would have been reflected in the income statements in prior periods.

Renewable Energy Standard Tariff (REST)

The ACC approved a REST surcharge for TEP effective June 1, 2008, to allow TEP to recover the cost of qualified renewable expenditures, such as payments to customers who have renewable energy resources or the incremental cost of renewable power generated or purchased by TEP. Any surcharge collected in excess of qualified renewable expenditures will be reflected in the financial statements as a current regulatory liability. Conversely, qualified renewable expenditures in excess of the REST surcharge will be reflected as a current regulatory asset. Through December 31, 2008, TEP collected $9 million in customer surcharge, of which $3 million was expensed for REST projects and the remaining $6 million was recorded as a current regulatory liability.

The approved REST adjustor mechanism, allows TEP to file an application with the ACC to apply any shortage or surplus in the prior year’s program expenses to the subsequent year’s REST surcharge.

Total Net Regulatory Assets	$	19		$	11

Regulatory assets are either being collected in rates or are expected to be collected through rates in a future period, as described below:

	1.		Property Tax and Self-Insured Medical Deferrals are recorded based on historical ratemaking treatment allowing recovery as costs are paid out, rather than as costs are accrued. In December 2008, as a result of TEP reapplying FAS 71 for its generation operations, TEP recorded a regulatory property tax asset related to its generation assets. While these assets do not earn a return, the costs are fully recovered in rates over an approximate six month period.

	2.		Derivative Instruments represent the unrealized gains or losses on contracts entered into to hedge the variability of purchased energy costs and short-term wholesale sales that are expected to be recovered through the PPFAC. As a result of the rate case and the approval of the PPFAC, TEP deferred the gains and losses on certain contracts that meet the recovery criteria under the PPFAC requirements.

	3.		Deregulation costs represent deferred expenses that TEP incurred to comply with various ACC deregulation orders, the recovery of which has been authorized by the ACC in the 2008 TEP Rate Order. These assets are included in rate base and consequently earn a return. TEP will recover these costs through rates over a four-year period, beginning in December 2008.

K/A-30

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

	4.		Rate Case Costs. In the 2008 TEP Rate Order, the ACC approved recovery of rate case costs over a four-year period beginning in December 2008. TEP does not earn a return on these assets.

	5.		San Juan Coal Contract Amendment costs of $15 million were incurred by TEP in 2000. In the 2008 TEP Rate Order, the ACC approved the recovery of $9 million of these costs over a nine-year period beginning in December 2008. These assets do not earn a return.

	6.		Income Taxes Recoverable Through Future Revenues, while not included in rate base, are amortized over the life of the assets. TEP does not earn a return on these assets.

	7.		Pension Assets. In December 2008, as a result of TEP reapplying FAS 71 for its generation operations, TEP recorded a regulatory pension and postretirement benefit asset related to its generation employees. Based on past regulatory actions, TEP expects to recover these costs in rates. TEP does not earn a return on these assets.

	8.		Final Reclamation and Retiree Health Care Costs represent costs associated with TEP’s jointly-owned facilities at San Juan, Four Corners and Navajo. TEP is required to recognize the present value of its liability associated with final reclamation and retiree health care obligations. As TEP is permitted to fully recover these costs through the PPFAC when the costs are invoiced by the miners, TEP recorded a regulatory asset. TEP expects to recover these costs over the life of the mines, which is estimated to be between 17 and 34 years. TEP will not earn a return on these assets.

	9.		Unamortized Loss on Reacquired Debt Costs is amortized for rate recovery over the remaining life of the related debt instruments over a period of 21 years. TEP does not earn a return on these costs.

Regulatory liabilities represent items that TEP expects to pay to customers through billing reductions in future periods or use for the purpose for which they were collected from customers, as described below:

	10.		Renewable Energy Standards Tariff (REST) represents the REST surcharge collected in excess of qualified renewable expenditures. See below.

	11.		Net Cost of Removal for Interim Retirements represents an estimate of the cost of future asset retirement obligations net of salvage value. These are amounts collected through revenue for the net cost of removal of interim retirements for transmission, distribution, general and intangible plant which are not yet expended. In December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP began collecting through revenue the net cost of removal of interim retirements for generation plant, which it has not yet expended.

Future Implications of Discontinuing Application of FAS 71

TEP continues to apply FAS 71 to its regulated operations. TEP regularly assesses whether it can continue to apply FAS 71 to these operations. If TEP stopped applying FAS 71 to its regulated operations, it would write-off the related balances of its regulatory assets as an expense and its regulatory liabilities as income on its income statement. Based on the regulatory assets balances, net of regulatory liabilities, at December 31, 2008, if TEP had stopped applying FAS 71 to its regulated operations, it would have recorded an extraordinary after-tax gain of $53 million and an after-tax loss in AOCI of $64 million. While future regulatory orders and market conditions may affect cash flows, TEP’s cash flows would not be affected if TEP stopped applying FAS 71.

UNS GAS RATES AND REGULATION

2007 UNS Gas Rate Order

In November 2007, the ACC issued a final order in the UNS Gas rate case, approving a $5 million, or 4% base rate increase. New rates went into effect in December 2007. UNS Gas also received modifications to its PGA mechanism to help address problems posed by volatile gas prices, as discussed below.

As a result of the order allowing $0.3 million of rate case costs, UNS Gas expensed $0.6 million of deferred costs in October 2007.

K/A-31

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

2008 General Rate Case Filing

In November 2008, UNS Gas filed a general rate case (on a cost of service basis) with the ACC requesting a total rate increase of 6% to cover a revenue deficiency of $10 million. The case uses a June 30, 2008 test year. UNS Gas expects the ACC to rule on its rate case in 2009.

Purchase Gas Adjustor (PGA) Mechanism

UNS Gas’ retail rates include a PGA mechanism intended to address the volatility of natural gas prices and allow UNS Gas to recover its actual commodity costs, including transportation, through a price adjustor. All purchased gas commodity costs, including transportation, increase the PGA bank, a balancing account. UNS Gas recovers these costs or returns amounts over-collected from/to ratepayers through a PGA rate. The PGA rate includes the following two components:

	(1)		The PGA factor, computed monthly, is a calculation of the twelve-month rolling weighted average gas cost, and automatically adjusts monthly, subject to limitations on how much the price per therm may change in a twelve-month period. Effective December 2007, the ACC increased the annual cap on the maximum increase in the PGA factor from $0.10 per therm to $0.15 per therm in a twelve-month period.

	(2)		At any time UNS Gas’ PGA bank balance is under-recovered, UNS Gas may request a PGA surcharge with the goal of collecting the amount deferred from customers over a period deemed appropriate by the ACC. When the PGA bank balance reaches an over-collected balance of $10 million on a billed basis, UNS Gas is required to request a PGA surcredit with the goal of returning the over-collected balance to customers over a period deemed appropriate by the ACC.

The PGA surcharge in 2006 ranged between $0.05 cents and $0.35 cents per therm. In 2007, the PGA surcharge was $0.05 cents per therm through April 2007. In September 2007, the ACC approved a $0.04 cent per therm PGA surcredit, effective October 2007 through April 2008. Since May 2008, there has been no surcharge or surcredit in effect.

Based on current projections of gas prices, UNS Gas believes that the current PGA rates will allow it to timely recover its gas costs. However, changes in the market price for gas, sales volumes and surcharge amount could significantly change the PGA bank balance in the future.

The following table shows the balance of over-recovered purchased gas costs:

	•		Pension Assets represent the unfunded status of UNS Gas’ share of the UES pension and other postretirement benefit plans that it expects, based on past regulatory actions, to recover through rates. UNS Gas does not earn a return on these costs.

	•		Other Regulatory assets consist of its 2007 rate case costs which are recoverable over 3 years. In addition, UNS Gas deferred its 2008 rate case costs and its low income assistance program costs. UNS Gas requested recovery of these costs in its 2008 rate case filing. UNS Gas does not earn a return on these costs.

Regulatory liabilities represent items that UNS Gas expects to pay to customers through billing reductions in future periods or use for the purpose for which they were collected from customers, as described below:

•

Net Cost of Removal for Interim Retirements represents an estimate of the cost of future asset retirement obligations. These are amounts collected through revenue for the net cost of removal of interim retirements for which removal costs have not yet been expended. In December 2007, to comply with ACC requirements, UNS Gas reclassified $12 million of Net Cost of Removal for Interim Retirements from Accumulated Depreciation to a regulatory liability.

Income Statement Impact of Applying FAS 71

If UNS Gas had not applied FAS 71, net income would have been $4 million lower in 2008 as UNS Gas would have recognized under-recovered purchased energy costs as an expense to its income statement rather than a reduction to its regulatory liability. Net income would have been $9 million higher in 2007 and $11 million higher in 2006 as UNS Gas would have been able to recognize over-recovered purchased energy costs as a reduction to its expenses in the income statement rather than record a regulatory liability.

Future Implications of Discontinuing Application of FAS 71

UNS Gas regularly assesses whether it can continue to apply FAS 71. If UNS Gas stopped applying FAS 71 to its regulated operations, UNS Gas would write-off the related balance of its regulatory assets as an expense and write-off its regulatory liabilities as income on its income statement. Based on the regulatory asset and liability balances, if UNS Gas had stopped applying FAS 71 to its regulated operations, it would have recorded an extraordinary after-tax gain of $14 million and an after-tax loss in AOCI of $10 million at December 31, 2008. Discontinuing application of FAS 71 would not affect UNS Gas cash flows.

UNS ELECTRIC RATES AND REGULATION

2008 UNS Electric Rate Order

In the May 2008 rate order, the ACC approved a rate increase of 2.5% ($4 million) effective in June 2008. As a result of the May 2008 rate order limiting recovery of deferred rate case costs, UNS Electric expensed $0.3 million of the $0.6 million deferred costs in May 2008.

Purchased Power and Fuel Adjustment Clause (PPFAC)

UNS Electric’s retail rates include a PPFAC, which allows for a separate surcharge or surcredit to the base rate for delivered purchased power to collect or return under- or over-recovery of costs. Allowable PPFAC costs include fuel, purchased power (less proceeds from most wholesale sales) and transmission costs.

As part of the May 2008 ACC rate order, a new PPFAC rate of approximately $0.087 per kWh took effect on June 1, 2008. The PPFAC mechanism has a forward component and a true-up component. The forward component of the PPFAC rate is based on forecasted fuel and purchased power costs. The true-up component reconciles actual fuel and purchased power costs with the amounts collected in the preceding PPFAC year and any amounts to be refunded/collected from customers in the coming year’s PPFAC rate. The true-up component is updated on June 1 of each year, beginning June 1, 2009. The retail rates prior to June 2008 included a charge for fuel and purchased power of approximately $0.07 per kWh (base rate recovery of $0.052 per kWh and a transmission surcharge of $0.018).

At December 31, 2008, UNS Electric had over recovered its purchased power by $7 million on an accrual (GAAP) basis, of which less than $0.5 million was under-recovered on a billed basis. The PPFAC balance is shown in Current Liabilities as Regulatory Liabilities — Over-Recovered Purchased Energy Costs. At December 31, 2007, UNS Electric had over recovered its purchased power by $9 million on an accrual (GAAP) basis of which $4 million was on a billed (regulatory) basis and the balance is shown as a noncurrent liability in Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities — Over-Recovered Purchased Power Costs.

Purchased Power Agreement

In June 2008, UED and UNS Electric entered into a 5-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) under which UED sells all the output of BMGS to UNS Electric. The PPA is a tolling arrangement in which UNS Electric takes operational control of BMGS and assumes all risk of operation and maintenance costs, including fuel. UNS Electric accounts for the PPA as an operating lease. The costs associated with the PPA are recoverable through UNS Electric’s PPFAC.

Derivative Instruments		—			(7	)
Net Cost of Removal for Interim Retirements		(11	)		(2	)

Regulatory assets are either being collected in rates or are expected to be collected through rates in a future period, as described below:

	•		Derivative Instruments represent the unrealized gains or losses on contracts entered into to hedge the variability of purchased energy costs that are expected to be recovered through the PPFAC. UNS Electric does not earn a return on these costs.

	•		Pension Assets represent the unfunded status of UNS Electric’s share of the UES pension and other postretirement benefit plans that it expects, based on past regulatory actions, to recover through rates. UNS Electric does not earn a return on these costs.

	•		Rate case costs are included in rate base and consequently earn a return. The recovery period is 3 years.

Regulatory liabilities represent items that UNS Electric expects to pay to customers through billing reductions in future periods or use for the purpose for which they were collected from customers, as described below:

	•		Renewable Energy Standards Tariff (REST) represents the REST surcharge collected in excess of qualified renewable expenditures. The ACC approved a REST surcharge for UNS Electric, effective June 1, 2008, to allow UNS Electric to recover the cost of qualified renewable expenditures, such as payments to customers who have renewable energy resources or the incremental cost of renewable power generated or purchased by UNS Electric. Any surcharge collected in excess of qualified renewable expenditures will be reflected in the financial statements as a current regulatory liability. Conversely, qualified renewable expenditures in excess of the REST surcharge will be reflected as a current regulatory asset. The REST plan includes an adjustor mechanism which allows UNS Electric to file an application with the ACC to apply any shortage or surplus in the prior year’s program expenses to the subsequent year’s REST surcharge.

	•		UNS Electric defers differences between purchased energy costs and the recovery of such costs in revenues. Future billings are adjusted for such deferrals through use of a already deferred PPFAC approved by the ACC. The PPFAC allows for a revenue surcharge or surcredit (that adjusts the customer’s rate for delivered purchased power) to collect or return under- or over-recovery of costs.

	•		Net Cost of Removal for Interim Retirements represents an estimate of the cost of future asset retirement obligations. These are amounts collected through revenue for the net cost of removal of interim retirements for which removal costs have not yet been expended. In June 2008, to comply with ACC expectations, UNS Electric reclassified $7 million of Net Cost of Removal for Interim Retirements from Accumulated Depreciation to a regulatory liability.

Income Statement Impact of Applying FAS 71

If UNS Electric had not applied FAS 71, net income would have been $15 million lower in 2008 as UNS Electric would have recognized under-recovered purchased energy and unrealized losses on its commodity derivative instruments as an expense to its income statement, rather than as regulatory assets or a reduction to its regulatory liabilities. If UNS Electric had not applied FAS 71, net income would have been $1 million higher in 2007, and $3 million higher in 2006, as UNS Electric would have been able to recognize over-recovered purchased power costs as a credit to the income statement rather than record an increase to regulatory liabilities.

Future Implications of Discontinuing Application of FAS 71

UNS Electric regularly assesses whether it can continue to apply FAS 71 to its operations. If UNS Electric stopped applying FAS 71 to its regulated operations, it would write-off the related balances of its regulatory assets as an expense and would write-off its regulatory liabilities as income on its income statement. Based on the regulatory asset and liability balances, if UNS Electric had stopped applying FAS 71 to its regulated operations, it would have recorded an extraordinary after-tax loss of $4 million and an after-tax loss in AOCI of $1 million at December 31, 2008. Discontinuing application of FAS 71 would not affect UNS Electric’s cash flows.

NOTE 4. ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, TRADING ACTIVITIES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

TEP INTEREST RATE SWAP

In June 2006, TEP entered into an interest rate swap to reduce the risk of unfavorable changes in variable interest rates related to changes in LIBOR. The swap has the effect of converting approximately $35 million of variable rate lease payments for the Springerville Common Facilities Lease to a fixed rate through January 1, 2020. The swap is designated as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. Because the changes in interest payments, resulting from changes in LIBOR, were completely offset by the interest rate swap in 2008, 2007 and 2006, there was no ineffectiveness recorded in earnings.

FUEL AND POWER TRANSACTIONS

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric enter into forward contracts to purchase or sell a specified amount of capacity or energy at a specified price over a given period of time, within established limits to take advantage of favorable market opportunities and reduce exposure to energy price risk associated with their gas and purchased power requirements, volumetric risk associated with their seasonal load and operational risk associated with their power plants, transmission and transportation systems. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric also have natural gas supply agreements under which each company purchases all of its gas requirements at spot market prices. In an effort to minimize price risk on these purchases and sales, TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric enter into gas price swap agreements under which they purchase gas at fixed prices and simultaneously sell gas at spot market prices. All of the contracts and agreements referred to in this paragraph are considered derivative instruments.

Beginning in January 2009, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP is permitted to recover fuel and purchased power costs, including the prudent cost of hedging contracts, through the PPFAC. UNS Gas is currently permitted, through its PGA mechanism, to recover the prudent cost of hedging contracts. As a result, at December 31, 2008, TEP and UNS Gas reclassified unrealized gains and losses on those commodity contracts that are eligible to be recovered through the PPFAC from AOCI to regulatory assets.

Prior to December 2008, unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market prices of non-trading hedges or short-term forward power sales contracts were recorded on the same line in the income statement as the hedged transaction. Beginning in December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, which permits the recovery of prudent costs associated with hedging contracts through the PPFAC, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as either a regulatory asset or regulatory liability.

UniSource Energy and TEP record unrealized gains and losses on energy trading contracts in Wholesale Sales. In 2008 and 2007, there were no net unrealized gains and losses. In 2006, UniSource Energy and TEP had a net unrealized gain of $1 million.

At December 31, 2008, TEP and UNS Electric had contracts that will settle through the fourth quarter of 2013. UNS Gas had contracts that will settle through the first quarter of 2012. Amounts presented, above, as Net Current Assets (Liabilities), are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

Credit Risk Adjustment

When the fair value of our derivative contracts are reflected as an asset, the counterparty owes us and this creates credit risk. We minimize our credit risk by (1) entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties, (2) limiting our exposure to each counterparty, (3) monitoring the financial condition of the counterparties and (4) requiring collateral in accordance with the counterparty master agreements. Using a combination of market credit default swap data and historical recovery rates for subordinated bonds, we consider the impact of counterparty credit worthiness in determining the fair value of our derivatives as well as its possible effect on continued qualification for cash flow hedge accounting. At December 31, 2008, the impact of counterparty credit risk on the fair value of derivative asset contracts was less than $0.5 million.

We also consider the impact of our own credit risk on instruments that are in a net liability position, after deducting collateral posted, using market credit default swap data and allocate the credit risk adjustment to all individual contracts in a net liability position. The impact of our own credit risk was less than $0.5 million.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

The use of contractual arrangements to manage the risks associated with changes in energy commodity prices creates credit risk exposure resulting from the possibility of nonperformance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric enter into contracts for the physical delivery of energy and gas which contain remedies in the event of non-performance by the supply counterparties. In addition, volatile energy prices can create significant credit exposure from energy market receivables and mark-to-market valuations.

As of December 31, 2008, TEP had total credit exposure to other counterparties of $27 million related to its wholesale marketing and gas hedging activities, of which two counterparties individually composed greater than 10% of the total credit exposure. UNS Gas and UNS Electric had no credit exposure to other counterparties.

To provide credit enhancements for forward energy purchase contracts and hedging activities TEP, posted credit enhancements of $1 million with counterparties exposed to TEP. UNS Gas and UNS Electric each posted cash collateral of $7 million and letters of credit of $10 million and $7 million, respectively.

Fuel and Purchased Power Contracts

TEP has long-term contracts for the purchase and delivery of coal and natural gas with various expiration dates from 2009 through 2020. Amounts paid under these contracts depend on actual quantities purchased and delivered. Some of these contracts (i) include a price adjustment clause that will affect the future cost and (ii) require TEP to pay a take-or-pay charge or liquidated damages if certain minimum quantities are not purchased and/or transported. TEP expects to spend more to meet its fuel requirements than the minimum purchase obligations outlined above. TEP paid $233 million in 2008, $209 million in 2007, and $186 million in 2006 for the purchase and delivery of coal and natural gas.

TEP has entered into agreements with utilities and other energy suppliers for purchased power to meet system load and energy requirements, replace generation from company-owned units under maintenance and during outages, and meet operating reserve obligations. In general, these contracts provide for capacity payments and energy payments based on actual power taken under the contracts. These contracts expire in various years between 2009 and 2014. Certain of these contracts are at a fixed price per MW and others are indexed to natural gas prices. The commitment amounts included in the table are based on projected market prices as of December 31, 2008. TEP paid $91 million in 2008, $40 million in 2007, and $17 million in 2006 for purchased power under non-cancelable contracts.

TEP paid $2 million for transmission contracts in each of 2008, 2007, and 2006.

Starting January 1, 2009, fuel and purchased power costs are recoverable from customers through a PPFAC.

Operating Leases

TEP’s aggregate operating lease expense, which is primarily for office facilities and computer equipment, with varying terms, provisions, and expiration dates, totaled $1 million in 2008 and $2 million in each of the years 2007 and 2006.

Environmental Regulation

Federal Clean Air Act Amendments

TEP generating facilities are subject to EPA limits on the amount of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions into the atmosphere. TEP capitalized $73 million in 2008, $7 million in 2007 and $1 million in 2006 in construction costs to comply with environmental requirements and expects to capitalize $20 million in 2009 and $7 million in 2010, including TEP’s share of new pollution control equipment being installed at San Juan described below. In addition, TEP recorded operating expenses of $14 million in 2008, $10 million in 2007 and 2006 related to environmental compliance. TEP expects environmental expenses to be $13 million in 2009.

K/A-44

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As a result of a 2005 settlement agreement between PNM, environmental activist groups, and the New Mexico Environment Department (PNM Consent Decree), the co-owners of San Juan are installing new pollution control equipment at the generating station to reduce mercury, particulate matter, NOx, and SO₂emissions. TEP owns 50% of San Juan Units 1 and 2. The PNM Consent Decree includes stipulated penalties for non-compliance with specified emissions limits at San Juan. TEP’s share of stipulated penalties at San Juan was $1 million in 2008, $2 million in 2007, and less than $0.5 million in 2006. TEP can not deduct these penalties for income tax purposes. TEP does not expect to incur any stipulated penalties at San Juan in 2009. The installation of new pollution control equipment designed to remedy all emission violations was completed in 2008 for San Juan Unit 1 and is expected to be completed at San Juan Unit 2 in early 2009.

In 1993, the EPA allocated TEP’s generating units SO₂ Emission Allowances based on past operational history. Beginning in 2000, TEP’s generating units were required to hold SO₂Emission Allowances equal to the level of emissions in the compliance year or pay penalties and offset excess emissions in future years. To date, TEP has had sufficient SO₂Emission Allowances to comply with the SO₂regulations.

Mercury Emissions

In 2005, the EPA adopted the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR), a cap and trade regulation relating to mercury emissions, requiring states to develop rules for implementing the federal requirements. Arizona adopted its mercury emission rules in 2007. In order to comply with the CAMR or Arizona’s current mercury rules, emission control equipment may be required at Springerville by 2013. TEP expects the associated capital costs for this equipment to be approximately $6 million for Springerville Units 1 and 2. If the emission control equipment is installed, TEP expects the annual operating expenses to be approximately $3 million, once all installations are completed.

In February 2008, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the CAMR. Unless and until this decision is overturned, the law in effect prior to the adoption of the CAMR becomes the applicable law, and requires the EPA to develop an emission limit for mercury that represents the maximum achievable control technology. It is expected to take the EPA at least two years to establish such a standard, followed by a period of three years during which existing plants would implement any controls needed to comply with the standard.

As of January 31, 2009, TEP and ADEQ reached an agreement that improves regulatory certainty regarding mercury compliance obligations under existing Arizona rules, while achieving mercury reductions substantially similar to those that would be required by the existing Arizona rules. This agreement relates to the Springerville and Sundt generating stations.

Depending on the rulemaking schedule for developing either the federal or state standards, emission controls may be required at some or all coal fired units by 2013 or later. As stipulated in the PNM Consent Decree described above, the co-owners of San Juan are installing new pollution control equipment at the generating station to reduce mercury emissions. Mercury emissions controls for San Juan Units 1 and 2 must be installed by December 31, 2009. TEP will continue to review and comply with any changes to federal and state regulations. Changes to the regulations could result in the need for different emission control equipment with different capital and operating costs than those currently expected.

Climate Change

Based on the competing proposals to regulate greenhouse gas emissions by federal, state, and local regulatory bodies and uncertainty in the regulatory process, the scope of such regulations and their affect on our operations cannot be determined.

Regional Haze

The EPA’s regional haze rules require emission controls known as Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) for certain industrial facilities emitting air pollutants that reduce visibility. The operators of the Four Corners, Navajo, and San Juan generating stations submitted BART analyses in 2007 and early 2008. PNM, operator of San Juan, believes the controls being installed at San Juan as a result of the 2005 settlement agreement between PNM, environmental activist groups, and the New Mexico Environment Department (PNM Consent Decree) constitute BART and did not recommend installation of any additional pollution control equipment. The operators of the Four Corners and Navajo generating stations recommended installing certain additional pollution control equipment in their respective BART analyses. The level and cost of pollution control required, if any, will not be known until the plans are approved by the regulatory agencies. If required, controls would need to be in place by 2013 or later.

TEP may incur additional costs to comply with future changes in federal and state environmental laws, regulations and permit requirements at existing electric generating facilities. Compliance with these changes may reduce operating efficiency.

UNS GAS and ELECTRIC COMMITMENTS

At December 31, 2008, UNS Gas had various firm non-cancelable purchase commitments as described in the table below.

UNS Gas purchases gas from various suppliers at market prices. However, UNS Gas’ risk of loss due to increased costs (as a result of changes in the market price of fuel) is mitigated through the use of the PGA, which provides for pass-through of most fuel costs to customers. UNS Gas’ forward gas purchase agreements expire through 2012. UNS Gas has firm transportation agreements with capacity sufficient to meet its load requirements. These contracts expire in various years between 2011 and 2023. UNS Gas paid $55 million in 2008, $13 million in 2007, and $10 million in 2006 for gas and transportation under committed contracts.

At December 31, 2008, UNS Electric had various firm non-cancelable purchase commitments as described in the table below.

Since UNS Electric’s all-requirements purchased power contract expired in May 2008, UNS Electric has entered into agreements with various energy suppliers for purchased power at market prices to meet energy requirements. In general, these contracts provide for capacity payments and energy payments based on actual power taken under the contracts. These contracts expire in various years through 2013. Certain of these contracts are at a fixed price per MW and others are indexed to natural gas prices. The commitment amounts included in the table above are based on market prices as of December 31, 2008. UNS Electric paid $53 million in 2008 for purchased power under these contracts.

UNS Electric imports the power it purchases over the Western Area Power Administration’s (WAPA) transmission lines. UNS Electric’s transmission capacity agreements with WAPA provide for annual rate adjustments and expire in 2011 and 2017. However, the effects of both purchased power and transmission cost adjustments are mitigated through a purchased power rate-adjustment mechanism. UNS Electric paid $7 million in 2008, $7 million in 2007, and $8 million in 2006 for transmission under committed contracts.

In addition, UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s combined operating lease expense, which is primarily for office facilities and computer equipment, with varying terms, provisions, and expiration dates was $1 million in each of the years 2008, 2007 and 2006. UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s estimated future minimum payments under non-cancelable operating leases are approximately $1 million per year from 2009 to 2011 and $1 million thereafter.

TEP CONTINGENCIES

El Paso Electric Transmission

In 2006, El Paso filed a complaint at the FERC claiming that TEP must request service under El Paso’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT) in order to transmit power from Luna to TEP’s system. TEP filed a counter complaint stating that TEP has existing rights under a 1982 Tucson-El Paso Transmission Agreement and, therefore, is not required to pay for transmission service under El Paso’s OATT. On November 13, 2008, the FERC issued an order supporting TEP’s position. In December 2008, El Paso refunded to TEP $10 million paid for transmission service from Luna during the pendency of this dispute and interest of $1 million. On January 14, 2009, FERC granted El Paso’s request for a rehearing of this matter. TEP deferred recognition of a reduction in transmission expense pending resolution of the appeals process and is no longer accruing for transmission service under El Paso’s OATT.

On December 30, 2008, TEP filed a complaint in the United States Federal District Court against El Paso seeking a $2 million reimbursement from El Paso for transmission charges paid by TEP to PNM because of the El Paso dispute. On February 23, 2009, El Paso filed a motion to dismiss TEP’s complaint, or in the alternative, requested a stay in the proceeding pending further resolution by FERC. TEP intends to a file a response requesting that the court deny El Paso’s motion. TEP’s response is due on March 12, 2009. TEP cannot predict the timing or outcome of this lawsuit.

Claims Related to Navajo Generating Station

In June 1999, the Navajo Nation filed suit against Salt River Project, several Peabody Coal Company entities (including Peabody Western Coal Company, the coal supplier to Navajo Generating Station), Southern California Edison Company, and other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia (D.C. Lawsuit). The D.C. Lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants obtained a favorable coal royalty rate of the lease agreements under which Peabody mines coal by improperly influencing the outcome of a federal administrative process pursuant to which the royalty rate was to be adjusted. The suit seeks $600 million in damages, treble damages, and punitive damages of not less than $1 billion, and the ejection of defendants from all possessory interests and Navajo Tribal lands arising out of the primary coal lease. In July 2001, the U.S. District Court dismissed all claims against Salt River Project. In March 2008, the U.S. District Court lifted a stay that had been in place since October 2004 and referred pending discovery related motions to a Magistrate judge. The Magistrate filed his Report and Recommendations on June 13, 2008 and the Navajo thereafter sought judicial review of the Magistrate’s Report and Recommendations by filing an Objection with the District Court on June 27, 2008. The matter was fully briefed and parties are awaiting the Judge’s decision.

In 2004, Peabody Western Coal Company (Peabody) filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Missouri against the participants at Navajo, including TEP (7.5% owner), for reimbursement of royalties and other costs arising out of the D.C. Lawsuit. In July 2008, the parties entered into a joint stipulation of dismissal of these claims which was approved by the Circuit Court. TEP cannot predict whether the lawsuit will be refiled based upon the final outcome of the D.C. Lawsuit.

Claims Related to San Juan Coal Company

San Juan Coal Company, the coal supplier to San Juan, through leases with the federal government and the State of New Mexico, owns coal interests with respect to an underground mine. Certain gas producers have oil and gas leases with the federal government, the State of New Mexico and private parties in the area of the underground mine. These gas producers allege that San Juan Coal Company’s underground coal mining operations have or will interfere with their gas production and will reduce the amount of natural gas that they would otherwise be entitled to recover. San Juan Coal Company has compensated certain gas producers for any remaining gas production from a well when it was determined that mining activity was close enough to warrant shutting down the well. These settlements, however, do not resolve all potential claims by gas producers in the underground mine area. TEP cannot estimate the impact of any future claims by these gas producers on the cost of coal at San Juan.

Environmental Reclamation at Remote Generating Stations

TEP currently pays on-going reclamation costs related to the coal mines which supply the remote generating stations, and it is probable that TEP will have to pay a portion of final reclamation costs upon mine closure. When a reasonable estimate of final reclamation costs is available, the liability is recognized as a cost of coal over the remaining term of the corresponding coal supply agreement. At December 31, 2008, TEP has recorded a liability of $9 million based on our $17 million obligation at the expiration dates of the coal supply agreements in 2011 through 2017. At December 31, 2007, TEP had recorded a liability of $4 million. See Resolution of TEP Contingencies — Navajo Generating Station below.

TEP’s PPFAC, as approved in the 2008 TEP Rate Order, allows TEP to pass-through most fuel costs, including final reclamation costs, to customers. Therefore, in 2008, when TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations, TEP reclassified these costs from fuel expense to a regulatory asset. TEP will increase the regulatory asset and the liability over the remaining life of the coal supply agreements on an accrual basis, and will recover the regulatory asset through the PPFAC as final mine reclamation costs are paid to the coal suppliers.

Amounts recorded for final reclamation are subject to various assumptions, such as estimating the costs of reclamation, when final reclamation will occur, and the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate to be used to discount future liabilities. As these assumptions change, TEP will prospectively adjust the expense amounts for final reclamation over the remaining coal supply agreement term. TEP does not believe that recognition of its final reclamation obligations will be material to TEP in any single year because recognition occurs over the remaining terms of its coal supply agreements.

TEP Wholesale Accounts Receivable and Allowances

TEP’s Accounts Receivable from Electric Wholesale Sales includes $16 million of receivables at December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 related to sales to the California Power Exchange (CPX) and the California Independent System Operator (CISO) in 2001 and 2000. To ensure that TEP is adequately reserved for its transactions with the CPX and the CISO, TEP increased its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts by $0.5 million in 2008. The recognized reserve balance at December 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007 was $14 million and $13 million respectively. There are several outstanding legal issues, complaints and lawsuits concerning the California energy crisis related to the FERC, wholesale power suppliers, Southern California Edison Company, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the CPX and the CISO. We cannot predict the outcome of these issues or lawsuits.

Tucson to Nogales Transmission Line

TEP and UNS Electric are parties to a project development agreement for the joint construction of an approximately 60-mile transmission line from Tucson to Nogales, Arizona. UNS Electric’s participation in this project was initiated in response to an order by the ACC to improve reliability to UNS Electric’s retail customers in Nogales, Arizona.

In 2002, the ACC approved the location and construction of the proposed 345-kV line along a route identified as the Western Corridor route subject to a number of conditions, including obtaining all required permits from state and federal agencies. The U.S. Forest Service subsequently identified a preference for a route identified as the Central Corridor route in the final Environmental Impact Statement for the project. TEP is considering options for the project including potential new routes. If a decision is made to pursue an alternative route, approvals will be needed from the ACC, the Department of Energy, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the International Boundary and Water Commission. As of December 31, 2008, TEP had capitalized $11 million related to the project, including $2 million of land and land rights. If TEP does not receive the required approvals or abandons the project, TEP believes there is a high likelihood of cost recovery for prudent and reasonably incurred costs related to the project as a consequence of the ACC’s requirement for a second transmission line serving the Nogales, Arizona area.

RESOLUTION OF TEP CONTINGENCIES — Navajo Generating Station

In 2004, Peabody Western Coal Company (Peabody), the coal supplier to the Navajo Generating Station, filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for the City of St. Louis, Missouri against the participants at Navajo, including TEP (7.5% owner), for reimbursement of royalties and other costs and breach of the coal supply agreement. In July 2008, the parties entered into a joint stipulation of dismissal of these claims which was approved by the court. TEP had not recorded a liability for these claims.

In addition, in 1996, SRP filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court on behalf of the participants at Navajo, including TEP, seeking declaratory judgment that the Navajo participants are not responsible for postretirement benefit costs payable to the coal supplier’s employees and final reclamation costs after the coal supply agreement expires and the mine closes. The Navajo participants and Peabody entered into a settlement agreement, which was approved by the court in the third quarter of 2008, and thereafter dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice. As a result of this settlement agreement, TEP recorded the present value of its share of the postretirement benefit costs, totaling $6 million, and final reclamation costs, totaling $3 million, as fuel expense in the third quarter. In December 2008, when TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations (see Note 2), TEP reclassified these expenses from fuel expense to a regulatory asset as the ACC permits recovery of mine reclamation and retiree health care costs in rates.

TEP will increase its regulatory asset and increase its liabilities over the remaining life of the coal supply agreement on an accrual basis. TEP will recover the regulatory asset through the PPFAC as the final mine reclamation and retiree health care costs are invoiced by the miner (cash basis). TEP will pay its share of the settlement as coal is purchased in the future with an estimated annual cash impact of approximately $1 million per year from 2008 to 2026.

GUARANTEES AND INDEMNITIES

In the normal course of business, UniSource Energy and certain subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of certain subsidiaries. We enter into these agreements primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness of a subsidiary on a stand-alone basis. The most significant of these guarantees are:

	•		UES’ guarantee of senior unsecured notes issued by UNS Gas ($100 million) and by UNS Electric ($100 million),

	•		UES’ guarantee of the $60 million UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver, and

	•		UniSource Energy’s guarantee of approximately $2 million in building lease payments for UNS Gas.

To the extent liabilities exist under these contracts, the liabilities are included in our consolidated balance sheets.

In addition, we have indemnified the purchasers of interests in certain investments from additional taxes due for years before the sale of such investments. The terms of the indemnifications do not include a limit on potential future payments; however, we believe that we have abided by all tax laws and paid all tax obligations. We have not made any payments under the terms of these indemnifications to date.

We believe that the likelihood UniSource Energy or UES would be required to perform or otherwise incur any significant losses under any of these guarantees or indemnities is remote.

NOTE 7. DEBT, CREDIT FACILITIES, AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

Long-term debt matures more than one year from the date of the financial statements. We summarize UniSource Energy and TEP’s long-term debt in the statements of capitalization.

UNISOURCE ENERGY DEBT

Convertible Senior Notes

In March 2005, UniSource Energy issued $150 million of 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes (Convertible Senior Notes) due 2035. The Convertible Senior Notes are unsecured and are not guaranteed by TEP or any other UniSource Energy subsidiary. Each $1,000 of Convertible Senior Notes is convertible into 27.033 shares of UniSource Energy Common Stock at any time, representing a conversion price of approximately $36.99 per share of our Common Stock, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Beginning on March 5, 2010, UniSource Energy will have the option to redeem the Convertible Senior Notes, in whole or in part, for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. Holders of the Convertible Senior Notes may require UniSource Energy to repurchase the Convertible Senior Notes, in whole or in part, for cash on March 1, 2015, 2020, 2025 and 2030, or if certain change of control transactions occur, or if our common stock is no longer listed on a national securities exchange. The repurchase price will be 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Notes plus accrued interest.

TEP DEBT

Collateral Trust Bonds

In 1998, TEP issued a total of $140 million, 7.5% Collateral Trust Bonds, due August, 2008. TEP retired these bonds in 2008. See Pima A and Pima B Bonds below.

Pima A Bonds

In March 2008, The Industrial Development Authority of Pima County (Pima Authority) issued, for the benefit of TEP, approximately $91 million of its 2008 Series A tax-exempt, unsecured, 6.375% bonds (Pima A Bonds) due September 1, 2029. The proceeds were used to redeem a corresponding principal amount of bonds previously issued by the Pima Authority for TEP’s benefit, which TEP repurchased in 2005. In 2005, TEP did not cancel the repurchased bonds, which remained outstanding under their respective indentures but were not reflected as debt on the balance sheet. As holder of the repurchased bonds, TEP received the payment of the redemption price.

K/A-52

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

TEP used the redemption proceeds to repay $75 million in revolving loans outstanding under its revolving credit facility. The remaining proceeds were used in May 2008 to redeem $10 million of the $138 million 7.5% Collateral Trust Bonds due August 2008. TEP capitalized $1 million of costs related to the issuance of the 2008 Pima A Bonds and will amortize these costs through August 2029, the term of the bonds.

Interest on the 2008 Pima A Bonds is payable semi-annually, commencing on September 1, 2008.

Beginning in March 2013, TEP will have the option to redeem the 2008 Pima A Bonds, in whole or in part, for cash, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest.

Pima B Bonds

In June 2008, the Pima Authority issued for TEP’s benefit, $130 million of its 2008 Series B tax-exempt variable rate IDBs (Pima B Bonds) due September 1, 2029. The 2008 Pima B Bonds are supported by a letter of credit (LOC) issued under the TEP 2008 Letter of Credit Facility. The LOC is secured by $132 million of 1992 Mortgage Bonds and expires April 30, 2011. The proceeds were used to redeem a corresponding principal amount of bonds previously issued by the Pima Authority for TEP’s benefit which TEP repurchased in 2005. TEP did not cancel the repurchased bonds, which remained outstanding under their respective indentures but were not reflected as debt on the balance sheet. As holder of the repurchased bonds being redeemed, TEP received the payment of the redemption price.

TEP deposited the redemption proceeds with the trustee for its 7.5% Collateral Trust Bonds. In August 2008, the deposit was applied to the payment of $128 million of principal plus $5 million of accrued interest on such bonds at maturity.

TEP was required to deposit these funds with the trustee pursuant to amendments dated May 30, 2008 to the TEP Credit Agreement and the 2008 TEP Letter of Credit Facility. These amendments allowed TEP to exclude the $128 million of Collateral Trust Bonds to be retired in August 2008 from Total Indebtedness for the calculation of its leverage ratio covenant at June 30, 2008.

TEP capitalized $1 million of costs related to the issuance of the 2008 Pima B Bonds and will amortize these costs through August 2029.

The 2008 Pima B Bonds accrue interest at a rate which resets weekly unless and until the interest rate mode is converted to another permitted interest rate mode, such as a term rate. The average weekly interest rate on TEP’s Pima B Bonds ranged from 0.50% to 8.25%, with an average rate of 2.03% for 2008. The peak weekly rate of 8.25% occurred in mid-September 2008, when the short-term debt markets began to experience significant disruptions related to the creditworthiness of several large financial institutions. As of December 31, 2008, the rate on this debt was 0.75%. TEP pays a remarketing fee of 10 basis points (bps) to the remarketing agent of the bonds, an LOC fee of 65 bps to the lenders, and an LOC issuing fee of 12.5 bps to the issuing bank.

1992 Mortgage

TEP’s 1992 Mortgage creates liens on and security interests in most of TEP’s utility plant assets, with the exception of Springerville Unit 2. San Carlos Resources Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TEP, holds title to Springerville Unit 2. Utility Plant under Capital Leases is not subject to such liens or available to TEP creditors, other than the lessors. The net book value of TEP’s utility plant subject to the lien of the indenture was approximately $1 billion at December 31, 2008.

TEP CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

The terms of TEP’s capital leases are as follows:

	•		The Sundt Lease has an initial term to January 2011 and provides for renewal periods of two or more years through 2020.

	•		The Springerville Common Facilities Leases have an initial term to December 2017 for one lease and January 2021 for the other two leases, subject to optional renewal periods of two or more years through 2025.

K/A-53

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

	•		The Springerville Unit 1 Leases have an initial term to January 2015 and provide for renewal periods of three or more years through 2030.

	•		The Springerville Coal Handling Facilities Leases have an initial term to April 2015 and provide for one renewal period of six years, then additional renewal periods of five or more years through 2035.

TEP has agreed with the owners of Springerville Units 3 and 4 that, upon expiration of the Springerville Coal Handling Facilities and Common Leases, TEP will acquire the leased interest in the facilities at fixed prices of $120 million in 2015, $38 million in 2017, and $68 million in 2021. Upon such acquisitions by TEP, each of the owners of Unit 3 and Unit 4 have the obligation to purchase or continue renting from TEP a 17% and 14% interest, respectively, in such facilities. On or before the Sundt and Springerville Unit 1 Lease expiration dates, TEP will determine if it will purchase the assets at the fair market value or renegotiate the lease terms.

In January 2009, through scheduled lease payments, TEP reduced its capital lease obligation by $14 million.

Investments in Springerville Lease Debt and Equity

TEP held an undivided equity ownership interest in Springerville Unit 1 lease totaling $48 million at December 31, 2008 and at December 31, 2007. TEP held an investment in Springerville Unit 1 lease debt totaling $59 million at December 31, 2008 and $71 million at December 31, 2007. TEP also held an investment in Springerville Coal Handling Facilities lease debt totaling $20 million at December 31, 2008 and $34 million at December 31, 2007.

Springerville Common Lease Debt Refinancing

In 1985, TEP sold and leased back its undivided one-half ownership interest in the common facilities at the Springerville Generating Station. TEP refinanced the lease debt totaling $68 million in June 2006, and the leases were amended to remove the requirement that the notes be periodically refinanced to avoid the occurrence of a special event of loss. The lease debt now matures when the leases expire. Interest is payable at LIBOR plus 1.5% through 2009. Thereafter, the spread over LIBOR increases by 0.125% every three years, to 2% by June 2018. Prior to the refinancing, the interest rate was LIBOR plus 4%. The refinancing had no impact on the Springerville Common Facilities capital lease obligation or asset.

A portion of the rent payable by TEP pursuant to the Springerville Common Facilities Leases is determined by the amount of interest payable on the underlying floating rate lease debt. In June 2006, TEP entered into an interest rate swap to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the portion of rent determined by the interest rate on this debt. This swap has the effect of fixing the interest portion of rent at a rate of 7.27% on a portion of the principal balance, which was $35 million as of December 31, 2008. The interest rate swap has been recorded by TEP as a cash flow hedge for financial reporting purposes. See Note 4.

UNS ELECTRIC LONG-TERM DEBT

In August, 2008, UNS Electric issued $100 million of senior unsecured debt; $50 million at 6.5%, due 2015 and $50 million at 7.1%, due 2023 (UNS Electric 2008 Long-Term Debt). The UNS Electric Long-Term Debt is guaranteed by UES. The notes may be prepaid with a make-whole call premium reflecting a discount rate equal to an equivalent maturity U.S. Treasury security yield plus 50 basis points.

UNS Electric used $60 million of the proceeds to repay its 7.61% senior unsecured notes that matured on August 11, 2008. The remaining proceeds were used to repay UNS Electric’s outstanding borrowings under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver and for general corporate purposes. UNS Electric capitalized $1 million of costs related to the issuance of the debt and will amortize these costs over the life of the debt.

The UNS Electric Long-Term Debt contains certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on transactions with affiliates, mergers, liens to secure indebtedness, restricted payments and incurrence of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2008, UNS Electric was in compliance with the covenants.

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

UNS Electric must meet a leverage test and an interest coverage test to issue additional debt or to pay dividends. However, UNS Electric may, without meeting these tests, refinance existing debt and incur up to $5 million in short-term debt.

UNS GAS LONG-TERM DEBT

UNS Gas has $100 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding, consisting of $50 million of 6.23%, due August 2011, and $50 million of 6.23%, due August 2015. The notes may be prepaid with a make-whole call premium reflecting a discount rate equal to an equivalent maturity U.S. Treasury security yield plus 50 basis points. UES guarantees the notes.

UNS Gas must meet a leverage test and an interest coverage test to issue additional debt or to pay dividends. UNS Gas may refinance existing debt and incur up to $7 million in short-term debt.

The note purchase agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including restrictions on transactions with affiliates, mergers, liens to secure indebtedness, restricted payments and incurrence of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2008, UNS Gas was in compliance with the terms of its note purchase agreement.

TEP’s Variable Rate IDBs are backed by a $341 million LOC issued pursuant to TEP’s Credit Agreement which expires in August 2011 and TEP’s $132 million Letter of Credit Facility which expires in April 2011. Although the Variable Rate IDBs mature between 2018 and 2029, the above table reflects a redemption or repurchase of such bonds in 2011 as though the LOCs terminate without replacement upon expiration of the TEP Credit Agreement.

Effective with commercial operation of Springerville Unit 3 in July 2006, Tri-State is reimbursing TEP for various operating costs related to the common facilities on an ongoing basis, including 14% of the Springerville Common Lease payments and 17% of the Springerville Coal Handling Facilities Lease payments. TEP remains the obligor under these capital leases, and Capital Lease Obligations do not reflect any reduction associated with this reimbursement. Lease expenses reimbursed by Tri-State were $7 million in each of 2008 and 2007 and $3 million in 2006.

UNISOURCE ENERGY CREDIT AGREEMENT

The UniSource Energy Credit Agreement consists of a $30 million amortizing term loan facility and a $70 million revolving credit facility and matures in August 2011. UniSource Energy’s obligations under the UniSource Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of the capital stock of Millennium, UES and UED.

At December 31, 2008 the following balances were outstanding:


			Long-
	Current		Term						Current		Long-
	Liabilities		Debt			Total			Liabilities		Term Debt			Total

Weighted Average Interest Rate on the Revolver		—		2.48	%		2.48	%		—		6.27	%		6.27	%

We have included the revolver borrowings in Long-Term Debt as UniSource Energy has the ability and the intent to have outstanding borrowings for the next twelve months. In January 2009, UniSource Energy repaid $1 million under its revolving credit facility.

Principal payments of $1.5 million on the outstanding term loan are due quarterly, with the balance due at maturity. We have the option of paying interest on the term loan and on borrowings under the revolving credit facility at adjusted LIBOR plus 1.25% or the sum of the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the agent bank’s reference rate and 0.25%.

The UniSource Energy Credit Agreement restricts additional indebtedness, liens, mergers, sales of assets, and certain investments and acquisitions. We must also meet: (1) a minimum cash flow to interest coverage ratio for UniSource Energy on a standalone basis and (2) a maximum leverage ratio on a consolidated basis. In September 2008, as a result of higher than expected fuel and purchased power costs, UniSource Energy amended the UniSource Energy Credit Agreement to provide more flexibility to meet the leverage ratio test for the next four calendar quarters, ending June 30, 2009. In February 2009, the leverage test in the UniSource Energy Credit Agreement was further amended through August 2011. The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). As of December 31, 2008, UniSource Energy was in compliance with the terms of its credit agreement.

UniSource Energy may pay dividends if, after giving effect to the dividend payment, it has more than $15 million of unrestricted cash and unused revolving credit.

TEP CREDIT AGREEMENT

The TEP Credit Agreement consists of a $150 million revolving credit facility, and a $341 million LOC facility which supports $329 million of tax-exempt Variable Rate IDBs. The TEP Credit Agreement matures in August 2011 and is secured by $491 million of Mortgage Bonds issued under the 1992 Mortgage which creates a lien on and security interest in most of TEP’s utility plant assets.

Interest rates and fees under the TEP Credit Agreement are based on a pricing grid tied to TEP’s credit ratings. Letter of credit fees are 0.45% per annum and amounts drawn under a letter of credit would bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.45% per annum. TEP has the option of paying interest on borrowings under the revolving credit facility at LIBOR plus 0.45% or the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the agent bank’s reference rate.

The TEP Credit Agreement restricts additional indebtedness, liens, sale of assets and sale-leaseback agreements. The TEP Credit Agreement also requires TEP to meet a minimum cash coverage ratio and a maximum leverage ratio. If TEP complies with the terms of the TEP Credit Agreement, TEP may pay dividends to UniSource Energy.

In September 2008, as a result of higher than expected fuel and purchased power costs, TEP amended the TEP Credit Agreement, to provide more flexibility to meet the leverage ratio test for the next four calendar quarters, ending June 30, 2009. The leverage ratio is calculated as the ratio of consolidated total indebtedness to EBITDA. As of December 31, 2008, TEP was in compliance with all the terms of its credit agreement.

K/A-56



UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

As of December 31, 2008, TEP had $10 million in loans outstanding under its revolving credit facility at an interest rate of 0.91% and $1 million outstanding in letters of credits. As of December 31, 2007, TEP had $10 million outstanding under this facility. The revolving loan balances are included in Current Liabilities in the UniSource Energy and TEP balance sheets. The outstanding Letters of Credit are off-balance sheet obligations of TEP.

TEP Letter of Credit Facility

In April 2008, TEP entered into a three-year $132 million letter of credit and reimbursement agreement (2008 TEP Letter of Credit Facility). The 2008 TEP Letter of Credit Facility supports $130 million aggregate principal amount of variable rate tax-exempt IDBs that were issued on behalf of TEP in June 2008. (See Pima B Bonds above).

Interest rates and fees under the 2008 TEP Letter of Credit Facility are based on a pricing grid tied to TEP’s credit ratings. Based on TEP’s current credit ratings, the letter of credit fees are 0.65% per annum during the first two years and 0.775% in the third year.

The TEP Letter of Credit Facility contains substantially the same restrictive covenants as the TEP Credit Agreement described above. As of December 31, 2008, TEP was in compliance with all the terms of the TEP Letter of Credit Facility.

UNS GAS/UNS ELECTRIC CREDIT AGREEMENT

The UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver is a $60 million revolving credit facility which matures in August 2011. Either UNS Gas or UNS Electric may borrow up to a maximum of $45 million, so long as the combined amount borrowed does not exceed $60 million. UNS Gas is only liable for UNS Gas’ borrowings, and similarly, UNS Electric is only liable for UNS Electric’s borrowings under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver. UES guarantees the obligations of both UNS Gas and UNS Electric.

UNS Gas and UNS Electric each have the option of paying interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% or the greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the agent bank’s reference rate.

The UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver contains restrictions on additional indebtedness, liens, mergers and sales of assets. The UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver also contains a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum cash flow to interest coverage ratio for each borrower. As of December 31, 2008, UNS Gas and UNS Electric were each in compliance with the terms of the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver.

The borrowings under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver were as follows:


	UNS		UNS			UNS		UNS

At December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, UNS Electric’s borrowings under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver were excluded from Current Liabilities and presented as Long-Term Debt, as UNS Electric has the ability and the intent to keep the borrowings outstanding under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver for the next twelve months. The outstanding letters of credit support power and gas purchases and hedges and are off-balance sheet obligations for UNS Gas and UNS Electric.

In February 2009, UNS Electric repaid $4 million under the UNS Gas/UNS Electric Revolver.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS NOT CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE

The fair value of a financial instrument is the market price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability at the measurement date. We use the following methods and assumptions for estimating the fair value of our financial instruments:

•

The carrying amounts of our current assets and liabilities, including Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt and amounts outstanding under our credit agreements, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Accordingly, these items have been excluded from the table below.

•

Investments in Lease Debt and Equity: TEP calculated the present value of remaining cash flows at the balance sheet date using current market rates with similar characteristics with respect to credit rating and time-to-maturity. In 2008, we also incorporated the impact of counterparty credit risk using market credit default swap data.

•

Fixed Rate Long-Term Debt: UniSource Energy and TEP used quoted market prices, where available, or calculated the present value of remaining cash flows at the balance sheet date using current market rates for bonds with similar characteristics with respect to credit rating and time-to-maturity. In 2008, we also incorporate the impact of our own credit risk using a credit default swap rate when determining the fair value of fixed rate long-term debt.

•

Variable Rate Long-Term Debt: TEP considers the principal amounts of variable rate debt outstanding to be reasonable estimates of their fair value. In 2008, the fair value of variable rate long-term debt has also been adjusted for credit risk using a credit default swap rate.

The use of different estimation methods and/or market assumptions may yield different estimated fair value amounts.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS

UniSource Energy

In February 2009, UniSource Energy declared a first quarter dividend to shareholders of $0.29 per share of UniSource Energy Common Stock. The dividend, totaling approximately $10 million, will be paid on March 9, 2009 to common shareholders of record as of February 24, 2009. In 2008, UniSource Energy paid quarterly dividends to the shareholders of $0.24 per share, for a total of $0.96 per share, or $34 million for the year. In 2007, UniSource Energy paid quarterly dividends to the shareholders of $0.225 per share, for a total of $0.90 per share, or $32 million, for the year. During 2006, UniSource Energy paid quarterly dividends to the shareholders of $0.21 per share, for a total of $0.84 per share, or $29 million, for the year.

In 2008, UniSource Energy’s dividend to the shareholders of $34 million exceeded its retained earnings. As a result, we recorded dividends of $14 million against retained earnings and dividends of $20 million against common stock. UniSource Energy has no additional paid-in capital. Such dividends do not represent a return of capital dividend for income tax purposes.

Our ability to pay cash dividends on Common Stock outstanding depends, in part, upon cash flows from our subsidiaries: TEP, UES, Millennium and UED, as well as compliance with various debt covenant requirements. As of December 31, 2008, we complied with the terms of all such debt covenant requirements.

TEP

TEP paid dividends of $3 million in 2008, $53 million in 2007, and $62 million in 2006. UniSource Energy is the holder of TEP’s common stock. TEP met the requirements discussed below before paying these dividends.

In December 2007, UniSource Energy contributed $18 million of capital to TEP.

Bank Credit Agreement

TEP’s Credit Agreement as of August 2006 allows TEP to pay dividends as long as TEP complies with the agreement and certain financial covenants including quarterly limits on the ratio of total indebtedness to total earnings before interest expense/income, income taxes and non-cash items. TEP is in compliance with these covenants.

Federal Power Act

This Act states that dividends shall not be paid out of funds properly included in capital accounts. TEP’s 2008, 2007 and 2006 dividends were paid from current year earnings.

UNS Gas and UNS Electric

Restrictions placed on UNS Gas and UNS Electric limit UES’ ability to pay dividends. The 2003 UES Settlement Agreement limits UNS Gas and UNS Electric’s ability to pay dividends of no more than 100% of its earnings to UniSource Energy. Additionally, the terms of the senior unsecured note agreements entered into by both UNS Gas and UNS Electric contain dividend restrictions. See Note 7. UES did not pay any dividends to UniSource Energy in 2008, 2007 or 2006.

UES made capital contributions to UNS Electric of less than $0.5 million in 2008.

UniSource Energy made no capital contributions to UNS Electric in 2008 and $10 million in 2007.

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Millennium and UED

Millennium paid dividends of $25 million to UniSource Energy in 2008 and $15 million in 2007. Millennium did not pay dividends to UniSource Energy in 2006. UED paid dividends to UniSource Energy of $0.5 million in 2008. No dividend payments were made in 2007 or 2006. Millennium and UED have no dividend restrictions.

In December 2008, UniSource Energy contributed $59 million in capital to UED by canceling an intercompany promissory note in the amount of $59 million. Borrowings under the promissory note were used to finance the development of BMGS.

UNISOURCE ENERGY SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

In March 1999, UniSource Energy adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. As of April 1, 1999, each Common Stock shareholder receives one Right for each share held. Each Right initially allows shareholders to purchase UniSource Energy’s Series X Preferred Stock at a specified purchase price. However, the Rights are exercisable only if a person or group (the “acquirer”) acquires or commences a tender offer to acquire 15% or more of UniSource Energy Common Stock.

In 2008, the effective tax rate is 55% for UniSource Energy and 71% for TEP compared to a combined federal and state statutory effective tax rate of 39.6%. In 2008, it was determined that the environmental penalties at San Juan Generating Station would never be deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, an additional $3 million of tax expense was recognized in 2008 for penalties incurred in the current and prior years. Other items included in GAAP expense which will never be deductible for tax were offset by the recognition of income tax credits.

Deferred Income Tax Assets — Current at December 31, 2008 and 2007 for UniSource Energy includes $3 million of deferred tax assets related to losses of a foreign investment held by a Millennium subsidiary. Management plans to dispose of its investment in the foreign joint venture and recognize the deferred losses on UniSource Energy’s federal and state income tax returns. This recognition on filed tax returns will allow for realization of the deferred tax asset. If management is unable to complete its plans to dispose of the joint venture, UniSource Energy may be required to write off the deferred tax asset of $3 million.

UniSource Energy and TEP have net operating loss carryforwards in the states of Arizona and New Mexico. Deferred tax assets at December 31, 2008 reflect $43 million of state net operating losses at UniSource Energy and $28 million at TEP which are expected to be used before the carryforward period expires in 2013. Deferred tax assets also include $2 million of federal and state capital loss carryforward at UniSource Energy expiring in 2010 and 2011. Management expects to use these losses on filed tax returns before they expire.

Management believes that based on its historical pattern of taxable income, UniSource Energy will produce sufficient income in the future to realize its deferred income tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. No valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the balance in deferred tax assets since management believes it is more likely than not that UniSource Energy will be able to recognize the tax deductions on future returns.

As of December 31, 2008, UniSource Energy’s balance sheet reflects income taxes receivable of $13 million. This balance includes $16 million of alternative minimum tax paid with the 2006 federal return which will be refunded through a carryback of 2008 net operating income tax losses of $77 million. This receivable is offset by amounts due to tax authorities for audit adjustments carried over from prior years.

Uncertain Tax Positions

UniSource Energy and TEP adopted Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48) as of January 1, 2007. FIN 48 requires us to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that we will sustain a tax position under examination. Each tax position is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit reported by UniSource Energy, all of which is recorded at TEP, was $20 million at December 31, 2008 and $12 million at December 31, 2007. The amount recorded by UniSource Energy and TEP on January 1, 2007 when FIN 48 was adopted was $13 million. The following table shows the changes in unrecognized tax benefits of UniSource Energy and TEP:


	December 31,
	2008			2007

Unrecognized Tax Benefits, beginning of year	$	12		$	13
Additions based on tax positions taken in the current year		6			—
Reductions based on tax positions taken in the current year		—			—
Additions based on tax positions taken in the prior year		3			—
Reductions based on tax positions taken in the prior year		(1	)		(1	)

Unrecognized Tax Benefits, end of year	$	20		$	12

Unrecognized tax benefits which, if recognized, would reduce the effective tax rate, were $1 million at December 31, 2008 for both UniSource Energy and TEP. There were no significant amounts of such unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007.

The $8 million increase in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits from 2007 to 2008 relates to $6 million of tax benefit attributable to tax positions taken in 2008 which may not be sustainable, plus $3 million of tax positions taken in prior years which are now uncertain based on additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2008, offset by the recognition of $1 million of previously uncertain tax benefits from prior years. The balance in unrecognized tax benefits could increase in the next twelve months as a result of the ongoing IRS audits, but the amount of the increase cannot be determined.

TEP recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in Other Interest Expense in the income statements. In September 2008, the statute of limitations expired for the 2004 tax year. As a result of the closure of the statute, TEP reversed $1 million of previously recorded interest expense associated with uncertain tax positions. No interest expense was recognized for 2008, $1 million was recognized in 2007. The balance of interest payable at December 31, 2008 is $1 million. No penalties have been recognized.

UniSource Energy and TEP have been audited by the IRS through tax year 2004. UniSource Energy and TEP are currently under audit by the IRS for 2005 for a limited issue related to the amount of indirect costs capitalized into the tax basis of assets, and is under audit for 2006. The 2005 audit continues from prior years and the 2006 audit began in late 2008. No material adjustments have been proposed by the IRS for either year, but UniSource Energy and TEP have recorded a current liability of $3 million for taxes and interest for issues agreed to in prior years which have been accepted by the IRS as affecting 2005 and 2006. We are unable to determine when the audits will be completed. UniSource Energy and TEP are not currently under audit by any state tax agencies.

Other Tax Matters

On its 2002 tax return, TEP filed for an automatic change in accounting method relating to the capitalization of indirect costs to the production of electricity and self-constructed assets. We also used the new accounting method on the 2003 and 2004 returns for TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric. In 2005, the Internal Revenue Service issued a ruling limiting the ability of electric and gas utilities to use the new accounting method. Based on settlement guidelines issued by the IRS in March 2007, this issue has been settled with the IRS. In December 2007, TEP recorded the effect of the settlement by recognizing $2 million of interest income. In 2008, UniSource Energy received a $16 million refund of taxes and interest, of which $15 million related to TEP. The refunds have no income statement impact to UniSource Energy or TEP.

NOTE 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION BENEFIT PLANS

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric maintain noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans for substantially all regular employees and certain affiliate employees. Employees receive benefits based on their years of service and average compensation. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric fund the plans by contributing at least the minimum amount required under Internal Revenue Service regulations.

We recognize the underfunded status of our defined benefit pension plans as a liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The underfunded status is measured as the difference between the fair value of the plans assets and the projected benefit obligation for pension plans. We recognize a regulatory asset to the extent these future costs are probable of recovery in rates. In December 2008, as a result of the 2008 TEP Rate Order, TEP reapplied FAS 71 to its generation operations. Accordingly, TEP reclassified pension amounts related to its generation operations, previously recognized in AOCI, to a regulatory asset.

TEP also provides supplemental retirement benefits to certain employees whose benefits are limited by IRS benefit or compensation limitations. Changes in benefit obligations are recognized as a component of AOCI.

Pension Contributions

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (The Pension Act) establishes minimum funding targets for pension plans beginning in 2008. A plan’s funding target is the present value of all benefits accrued or earned as of the beginning of the plan year. While the annual targets are not legally required, if a plan does not meet the annual funding targets, the plan’s benefit payment options are limited and a funding deficiency notice must be sent to all plan participants. All TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric plans are in compliance with The Act.

In 2009, to meet the funding requirements of The Pension Act, TEP expects to contribute $16 million and UNS Gas and UNS Electric expect to contribute a total of $2 million to the pension plans.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

TEP provides limited health care and life insurance benefits for retirees. All regular employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for TEP or an affiliate. UNS Gas and UNS Electric provide postretirement medical benefits for current retirees and a small group of active employees. In the 2008 TEP Rate Order, the ACC authorized accrual basis recovery of other postretirement benefit plan costs based on a commitment to fund the plan. TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric now record changes in their other postretirement obligation, not yet reflected in net periodic benefit cost, as a regulatory asset, as such amounts are probable of future recovery in rates. Amounts previously recorded in AOCI have been reclassified to a regulatory asset.

Net periodic benefit cost for the other postretirement benefit plan was remeasured as of January 1, 2007 to reflect the plan amendment communicated to plan participants on January 2, 2007. A discount rate of 5.6% was used for the January 2007 portion of the expense, while a discount rate of 5.8% was used for the remaining eleven months.

Net periodic benefit cost is subject to various assumptions and determinations, such as the discount rate, the rate of compensation increase, and the expected return on plan assets. We estimated the expected return on plan assets based on a review of the plans’ asset allocations. We also consulted with a third-party investment consultant and the plans’ actuary who consider factors such as:

•

market and economic indicators

•

historical market returns

•

correlations and volatility

•

central banks’ and government treasury departments’ forecasts and objectives, and

•

recent professional or academic research.

Changes that may arise over time with regard to these assumptions and determinations will change amounts recorded in the future as net periodic benefit cost.

TEP’s investment policy for the pension plans targets exposure to the various asset classes in the following allocations: equity securities 50%, debt securities 30%, real estate 10%, and other 3%. TEP rebalances the portfolio when the portfolio allocation is not within the desired range of exposure. The plan seeks to provide returns in excess of a portfolio benchmark. TEP tracks the plan’s portfolio relative to the benchmark and provides quarterly investment reviews which consist of a performance and risk assessment on all investment managers and on the portfolio.

Investment managers for the plan may use derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes or as a part of their investment strategy. Currency hedges have also been used for defensive purposes. Real estate managers use leverage but it is limited by investment policy.

DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLANS

TEP, UNS Gas and UNS Electric offer defined contribution savings plans to all eligible employees. The Internal Revenue Code identifies the plans as qualified 401(k) plans. Participants direct the investment of contributions to certain funds in their account which may include a UNS stock fund. TEP, UNS Gas, and UNS Electric match part of a participant’s contributions to the plans. TEP made matching contributions to these plans of approximately $4 million in each of 2008, 2007 and 2006.

The total number of shares which may be awarded under the Plan cannot exceed 2.25 million shares. At December 31, 2008, the total number of shares awarded under the 2006 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan was 0.7 million shares.

STOCK OPTIONS

In 2008, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 303,550 stock options to officers with an exercise price of $26.18. In 2007, the board granted 184,260 stock options to officers with an exercise price of $37.88. In 2006, the board granted 187,640 stock options to officers with an exercise price of $30.55.

Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, vest over three years, become exercisable in one-third increments on each anniversary date of the grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the service period for the total award based on the grant date fair value of the options less estimated forfeitures. For awards granted to retirement eligible officers, compensation expense is recorded immediately. Certain stock option awards accrue dividend equivalents that are paid in cash on the earlier of the date of exercise of the underlying option or the date the option expires. Compensation expense is recognized as dividends are paid.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with the assumptions noted in the following table. The expected term of the stock option granted in 2008 was estimated using historical exercise data. The expected term of all other options granted in prior years was estimated using a “simplified” method which considers the 3 year vesting period and the contractual term. The risk-free rate is based on the rate available on a U.S. Treasury Strip with a maturity equal to the expected term of the option at the time of the grant. Expected volatility was based on historical volatility for UniSource Energy’s stock for the past 6 years, the expected term. The expected dividend yield on a share of stock was calculated using the historical dividend yield with the implicit assumption that current dividend yields will continue in the future.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS/AWARDS AND PERFORMANCE SHARES

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock and stock units are generally granted under the Plan to non-employee directors. Restricted stock is an award of Common Stock that is subject to forfeiture if the restrictions specified in the award are not satisfied. Stock units are a non-voting unit of measure that is equivalent to one share of Common Stock. The directors may elect to receive stock units in lieu of restricted stock. Restricted stock generally vests over periods ranging from one to three years and are payable in Common Stock. Stock units vest either immediately or over periods ranging from one to three years. The restricted stock units vest immediately upon death, disability, or retirement. In the January following the year the person is no longer a director, Common Stock shares will be issued for the vested stock units. Compensation expense equal to the fair market value on the grant date is recognized over the vesting period. Fully vested but undistributed stock unit awards accrue dividend equivalent stock units based on the fair market value of common shares on the date the dividend is paid. Compensation expense is recognized when dividends are paid.

In 2008, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted the following stock units to non-employee directors:

•

February 2008 — 3,130 stock units at a weighted average fair value of $28.75 per share,

•

May 2008 — 18,448 stock units at a weighted average fair value of $31.71 per share, and

•

August 2008 — 1,400 stock units at a weighted average fair value of $32.15 per share.

In 2007, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 17,857 stock units at a weighted average fair value of $37.30 per share to non-employee directors. In 2006, we granted 17,151 stock units to non-employee directors at a weighted-average fair value of $30.76 per share on the grant date.

Performance Share Awards

In February 2008, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 49,120 performance share awards (targeted shares) to Officers at a grant date fair value, based on a Monte Carlo simulation, of $17.10 per share. The performance share awards will be paid out in shares of UniSource Energy Common Stock based on UniSource Energy’s performance over the performance period of January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. The performance criteria specified in the awards is determined based on targeted UniSource Energy Total Shareholder Return during the performance period compared to the Total Shareholder Return over the same period of an industry or peer group. The performance shares vest ratably over the performance period and any unearned awards are forfeited. Compensation expense equal to the fair value on the grant date is recognized over the vesting period if the requisite service period is fulfilled whether or not the threshold is received.

In March 2007, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 37,270 performance share awards (targeted shares) to certain officers at a grant date fair value of $35.56 per share (market price of $37.88 less the present value of expected dividends of $2.32). The performance share awards will be paid out in shares of UniSource Energy Common Stock based on UniSource Energy’s achievement of targeted Cumulative Cash Flow from Operations and Cumulative Diluted Earnings per Share over the performance period of January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009.

In May 2006, 45,520 performance share awards (targeted shares) were granted to certain officers at a grant date fair value of $28.39 per share (market price of $30.55 less the present value of expected dividends of $2.16). The performance share awards will be paid out in shares of UniSource Energy Common Stock based on UniSource Energy’s achievement of targeted Cumulative Cash Flow from Operations and Cumulative Earnings per Share over the period of January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008. The total number of shares that vested as of the end of the performance period was 12,325.

The performance criteria specified for the 2007 and 2006 awards is determined based on targeted UniSource Energy cumulative Cash Flow from Operations during the performance period, cumulative Earning per Share in 2006, and Diluted Earnings per Share in 2007. The performance shares vest ratably over the performance period and any unearned awards are forfeited. Compensation expense equal to the fair market value on the grant date less the present value of expected dividends is recognized over the vesting period if it is probable that the performance criteria will be met. Compensation expense is adjusted if the goals are not achieved.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE (Stock Options, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Units)

Annually during 2006 through 2008, TEP recorded share-based compensation expense of $2 million. UniSource Energy recorded share-based compensation expense of $3 million in 2008 and 2007 and $2 million in 2006. The actual tax deduction realized from the exercise of share-based payment arrangements totaled $1 million for 2008, $0.5 million in 2007, $2 million in 2006. We capitalize a portion share-based compensation costs as a cost of construction.

At December 31, 2008, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation was $2 million, which will be recorded as compensation expense over the remaining vesting periods through February 2011. The total number of shares awarded but not yet issued, including target performance based shares, under the share-based compensation plans at December 31, 2008 was 2 million.

2009 SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AWARDS

In February 2009, the Compensation Committee of the UniSource Energy Board of Directors granted 248,760 stock options to officers with an exercise price of $26.11 and 62,190 performance share awards (targeted shares) at a grant date fair value, based on a Monte Carlo Simulation of $21.62 per share. The performance share awards will be paid out in shares of UniSource Energy Common Stock based on targeted, cumulative UniSource Energy Total Shareholder Return during the performance period of January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2011, compared to the Total Shareholder Return over the same period of an industry or peer group.

NOTE 13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. As defined in FAS 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). FAS 157 clarifies that the exchange price is the price in the principal market in which the reporting entity would transact for the asset or liability. With limited exceptions, the provisions of FAS 157 are applied prospectively. There was no transition adjustment as a result of adopting FAS 157.

As permitted by FSP FAS 157-2, we have elected to defer the adoption of the nonrecurring fair value measurement disclosures of nonfinancial assets and liabilities, such as asset retirement obligations, until January 1, 2009.

FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active, issued October 2008, provides guidance clarifying how FAS 157 should be applied in markets that are not active. The guidance reaffirms the notion of fair value as an exit price as of the measurement date. The FSP emphasizes that approaches other than the market value approach to determine fair value, such as the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows and risk-adjusted discount rates, may be appropriate. The FSP, which is effective upon issuance and applicable to prior periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued, did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

In accordance with FAS 157, we have categorized our financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by FAS 157 are as follows:

Level 1.		Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities and listed derivatives).

Level 2.		Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate bonds, which trade infrequently), pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liabilities (examples include most non-exchange-traded derivatives, including interest rate swaps), and pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3.		Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability (examples include longdated or complex derivatives including certain long-dated options on gas and power).

The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, UniSource Energy and TEP’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2008. As required by FAS 157, 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 valuation is based on quoted prices, traded in active markets. These investments are included in Investments and Other Property — Other in the UniSource Energy and TEP balance sheets.

(3)		Equity Investments (UniSource Energy table only) are, in the absence of readily ascertainable market values, based on the investment partners’ valuations and comprise Millennium’s equity investment in unregulated businesses. These investments are included in Investments and Other Property — Other in the UniSource Energy balance sheet.

(4)		Collateral provided (UniSource Energy table only) for energy contracts with counterparties to reduce credit risk exposure.

(5)		Energy contracts include gas swap agreements (Level 2), forward power purchase and sales contracts (Level 3), and forward power purchase contracts indexed to gas (Level 3), entered into to take advantage of favorable market conditions and reduce exposure to energy price risk. The valuation techniques are described below.

(6)		Interest Rate Swap is valued based on the six month LIBOR index.

Energy Contracts

TEP, UNS Gas, UNS Electric and Millennium primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best available information. Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full terms of the asset or liability, such as gas swap derivatives valued using New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) pricing, adjusted for basin differences, the instrument is categorized in Level 2.

Derivatives valued using an aggregate pricing service or published prices that represent a consensus reporting of multiple brokers are categorized in Level 3. For both power and gas prices, TEP obtains quotes from brokers, major market participants, exchanges or industry publications as well as its own price experience from active transactions in the market. TEP primarily uses one set of quotations each for power and for gas, and then uses the other sources as validation of those prices. The broker providing quotes for power prices states that the market information provided is indicative only, but believes it to be reflective of market conditions as of the time and date indicated. In addition, energy derivatives include contracts where published prices are not readily available. These include contracts for delivery periods during non-standard time blocks, contracts for delivery during only a few months of a given year when prices are quoted only for the annual average, or contracts for delivery at illiquid delivery points. In these cases, TEP applies certain management assumptions to value such contracts. These assumptions include applying historical price curve relationships to calendar year quotes, applying percentage multipliers to value non-standard time blocks, including the impact of counterparty credit risk, using current and historical default and recovery rates, our own credit risk, using credit default swap data, and including adjustments for transmission and line losses to value contracts at illiquid delivery points. TEP reviews these assumptions on a quarterly basis.

NOTE 14. UNISOURCE ENERGY EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)

We compute basic EPS by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except when the effect would be anti-dilutive, the diluted EPS calculation includes the impact of shares that could be issued upon exercise of outstanding stock options, contingently issuable shares under equity-based awards or common shares that would result from the conversion of convertible notes. The numerator in calculating diluted earnings per share is Net Income adjusted for the interest on convertible notes (net of tax) that would not be paid if the notes were converted to common shares.

The following table shows the effects of potential dilutive common stock on the weighted average number of shares:

For the year ended December 31, 2008, 4 million potentially dilutive shares from the conversion of convertible senior notes, and after-tax interest expense of $4 million was not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

Stock options to purchase an average of 312,000, 169,000 and 67,000 shares of Common Stock were outstanding during 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively, but were not included in the computation of EPS because the stock option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Common Stock at year end.

NOTE 15. RELATED PARTIES

UniSource Energy incurs corporate costs that are allocated to its subsidiaries, including TEP. Corporate costs are allocated based on a weighted-average of three factors: assets, payroll and revenues. Management believes this method of allocation is reasonable and approximates the cost that TEP and its other affiliates would have incurred as stand-alone entities. Charges allocated to TEP were $7 million in each of 2008, 2007 and 2006. Charges allocated to UNS Gas and UNS Electric were $1 million in each of 2008, 2007 and 2006.

TEP provides all corporate services (finance, accounting, tax, information technology services, etc.) to UniSource Energy, UNS Gas and UNS Electric as well as to UniSource Energy’s non-utility businesses. Costs are directly assigned to the benefiting entity where possible. Common costs are allocated on a cost-causative basis. Management believes this method of allocation is reasonable. The charges by TEP to the other companies were $15 million in 2008, $14 million in 2007, and $9 million in 2006.

In 2008, TEP and UNS Electric began selling power to each other at prices based on the Dow Jones Four Corners Daily Index. TEP had wholesale power sales to UNS Electric of $25 million. UNS Electric had wholesale power sales of $9 million to TEP.

In 2008, TEP charged UNS Electric $2 million for control area services. No such services were provided in 2007 and 2006.

In May 2008, UED began providing energy from its Black Mountain Generating Station (BMGS) to UNS Electric, through a power sale agreement. UED charged UNS Electric $7 million for this energy. UNS Gas charged UNS Electric $7 million and UED $1 million for gas used by the BMGS facility.

Southwest Energy Solutions, Inc. (SES), a subsidiary of Millennium, provides a supplemental workforce for TEP and UNS Electric. Types of services provided for TEP include dusk to dawn lighting, facilities maintenance, meter reading, transmission and distribution, line locating, and general supplemental support. SES bills TEP for these services. Management believes that the charges for services are reasonable and approximate the cost that TEP would have incurred if it performed these services directly. SES charged TEP $15 million in 2008, $14 million in 2007 and 2006 for these services. SES provides meter reading services for UNS Electric. SES charged UNS Electric $1 million for these services in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

Carboelectrica Sabinas, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Sabinas) is a Mexican limited liability company created to develop up to 800 megawatts (MW) of coal-fired generation in the Sabinas region of Coahuila, Mexico. Millennium owns 50% of Sabinas. Sabinas also owns 19.2% of Minerales de Monclova, S.A. de C.V. (Mimosa). Mimosa is an owner of coal and associated gas reserves and a supplier of metallurgical coal to the Mexican steel industry and thermal coal to the major electric utility in Mexico. Altos Hornos de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (AHMSA) and affiliates own the other 50%. UniSource Energy’s former Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, who retired on December 31, 2008, is on the board of directors of AHMSA. As of December 31, 2008, Millennium’s remaining investment in Sabinas is $14 million.

Millennium is in the process of finalizing a sale of its interest in Sabinas to Mimosa. In December 2008, Mimosa and Millennium signed a letter delineating the general terms of the sale and purchase. The terms called for an upfront $5 million payment to Millennium which was received in January 2009. Other key terms of the transaction include a three year, interest-bearing, collateralized $15 million note from Mimosa and an interest in carbon credits created from flaring coal mine methane at Mimosa mines. The sale is expected to close before the end of the first quarter of 2009.

NOTE 16. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In January 2006, UniSource Energy’s Board of Directors approved a plan to dispose of its investment in Global Solar to a third party. Global Solar appears in these financial statements as discontinued operations.

On March 31, 2006, UniSource Energy sold all of the capital stock of Global Solar to a third party. UniSource Energy received $16 million in cash as part of the transaction; a portion of the proceeds was used to satisfy $10 million of secured promissory notes held by a UniSource Energy subsidiary. In addition to the cash purchase price, UniSource Energy received a ten-year option to purchase between 5 and 10 percent of the common stock of Global Solar. The option is only exercisable after the seventh anniversary of the closing or upon the occurrence of certain events including a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Global Solar, a merger, a change of control transaction, an initial public offering of Global Solar common stock or the payment by Global Solar of dividends in excess of specified amounts. For accounting purposes, no value was assigned to this repurchase option.

TEP deposited the Pima B redemption proceeds for its 7.5% Collateral Trust Bonds with a trustee. On August 1, 2008, the deposit was applied to the payment of $128 million of principal plus $5 million of accrued interest upon maturity of the bonds. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2008, UniSource Energy and TEP had a $128 million non-cash financing activity that affected recognized assets and liabilities but did not result in cash receipts or payments.

Other non-cash investing and financing activities of UniSource Energy and TEP that affected recognized assets and liabilities but did not result in cash receipts or payments were as follows:

UNISOURCE ENERGY, TEP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

The non-cash net cost of removal of interim retirements represents an accrual for future asset retirement obligations that does not impact earnings.

The non-cash change in capital lease obligations represents interest accrued for accounting purposes in excess of interest payments in 2008, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE 18. QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED)

Our quarterly financial information is unaudited but, in management’s opinion, includes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation. Our utility businesses are seasonal in nature. Peak sales periods for TEP and UNS Electric generally occur during the summer months and peak sales periods for UNS Gas generally occur during the winter months. Accordingly, comparisons among quarters of a year may not represent overall trends and changes in operations.

ITEM 9A. — CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

UniSource Energy and TEP’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer supervised and participated in UniSource Energy and TEP’s evaluation of their disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined under Rule 13a — 15(e) or Rule 15d — 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of December 31, 2008. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in UniSource Energy and TEP’s periodic reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by UniSource Energy and TEP in the reports that they file or submit under the Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive and principal financial officers, or person performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon the evaluation performed, UniSource Energy and TEP’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that UniSource Energy and TEP’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

While UniSource Energy and TEP continually strive to improve their disclosure controls and procedures to enhance the quality of their financial reporting, there has been no change in UniSource Energy or TEP’s internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2008, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, UniSource Energy or TEP’s internal control over financial reporting.

UniSource Energy’s and TEP’s Management’s Reports on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Under 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley appear as the first two reports under Item 8 in UniSource Energy’s and TEP’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for UniSource Energy appears as the third report under Item 8, and the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for TEP appears as the fourth report under Item 8.
