FERC INSPECTION REPORT - CAREY Mr. Carey reported that during the week of July 10, 2006, the FERC inspection and Part 12 inspection, as well as the Potential Failure Modes Analysis (PFMA) discussions/meetings were held at HEA. Most of the discussions involved the PFMA and the history of Bradley and potential problems. Bradley came out as having more calcite than what the inspectors have seen in other dams. There is a small amount of corrosion down the diversion tunnel, which will be monitored. Seismic movement for Bradley, that was approved by FERC in a record decision, is a greater amount of movement than what FERC normally approves. The discussion came up of why Bradley could have greater seismic movement than other dams. It has been proposed that the tunnel drains which are accessed from the outside be cleaned out next year. Bradley Lake Project Mane_ ent Committee Meeting July 26, 2006 Page 3 of 6 7C. INSURANCE RENEWAL - CUNNINGHAM Mr. Cunningham gave a summary of the insurance summary Renewal period July 1, 2006 — July 1, 2007 and Expiring period July 1, 2005 — July 1, 2006. Mr. Haagenson’s recommendation was to find a way to fund $20M. Mr. Posey added that the group should look at the cost of borrowing or a letter of credit for $20M from either AIDEA or someone else vs. the cost of insuring it. The group agreed to revisit this item at the next meeting with more information becoming available from the underwriter and Mr. Cunningham, also adding to that AIDEA’s look at how they would help fund the $20M. Mr. Carey clarified that it is Alaska Energy Authority that owns it and not AIDEA. 7D. RENEWAL & CONTINGENCY FUND REDEPOSIT PROCEDURE - MACMILLAN Ms. MacMillan gave a brief overview of the procedure, stating that this was a proposed housekeeping tool so that the movement of cash matches the budget plan. Motion #06-5: Mr. Janorschke moved to approve the Renewal and Contingency Fund redeposit procedure beginning with project fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 as follows: Renewal and Contingency Fund redeposit will be made in early August each year.

LEGAL MATTERS - (2 motions) CARMONY First Legal Matter Motion #06-8: Mr. Carmony moves that the legal services provided to the BPMC by AterWynne be terminated and that an offer be extended to the firm of Davis Wright Tremaine to be retained as interim counsel to the BPMC. Seconded by Mr. Janorschke for discussion. Mr. Carmony’s concern is that there is commingling legal advice across the boundaries of various organizations. Mr. Haagenson stated that on the IOC everyone has their own attorneys, and the IPG is the same. Mr. Carmony added it may be time to terminate their services and obtain a firm that the group is all convinced can provide advice to the group. His research directed him to the firm of Davis Wright Tremaine as a recommendation for an interim counsel, hence the termination of the firm of AterWynne and extend an offer to Davis Wright Tremaine. Mr. Carey stated that the firm of Davis Wright Tremane could have a problem with in the sense that there would be conflict of interest, and asked if there were any other firms that could be used. Mr. Haagenson added that this group has a right to pick their own attorney. AterWynne is the present attorney by letter agreement. If the move is made to Davis Wright Tremaine, he recommended finding another attorney, adding that it may involve extending the search out of state. Mr. Carmony amended the motion to read: Move we terminate the services of AterWynne and have the Chairman begin immediately to identify and employ or retain an interim counsel until such time as something can be brought to the board for a more permanent arrangement. Seconded by Mr. Janorschke for further discussion. Mr. Haagenson stated that terminating before employing could be a big mistake and to use caution if the group proceeds this direction: lt might be worth further amending Mr. Carmony’s motion to say we. are looking at replacing AterWynne with someone else, and let this group do an evaluation to find a replacement and do the action at the correct time. Mr. Carmony stated that if that was a suggested amendment, he would second it. Mr. Carmony stated that we have made the decision to pursue new counsel and are going to authorize the Chair to do that investigation and bring a recommendation back to the group. Mr. Haagenson restated that he is not authorizing getting new counsel — rather, going out and find someone to replace them and once we have them and pick them, then we will replace them. Mr. Janorschke further amended the motion to include a timeline of the end of the year 2006. Chair Stewart agreed to making the assignment and a timeline. The Chair will bring back recommendations to the next BPMC meeting with a decision at the following meeting by the end of the year. A voice vote was taken and the motion was passed by unanimous approval. ‘ Bradley Lake Project Mane_ ent Committee Meeting July 26, 2006 Page 5 of 6 Second Legal Matter Motion #06-9: Mr. Carmony moves that the Chairman promptly inform the utility members of the BPMC of all work assigned to the BPMC attorney. Further, that all work products, including drafts of the attorney be distributed to each utility at the same time it is turned over for review to the Chairman. Seconded by Mr. Janorschke for discussion. It was agreed that the wording “including drafts” will be removed from the above-stated motion. A roll call vote was taken and the results were as follows: City of Seward No Matanuska Electric Association: Yes Chugach Electric Association: No Homer Electric Association: Yes Golden Valley Electric Association: No Anchorage Municipal Light & Power: No Alaska Energy Authority: Yes 7G. LETTERS FROM AEA - HAAGENSON Mr. Haagenson presented three letters: Letter from Bryan Carey to Steve Haagenson dated June 13) 2006 Letter from Steve Haagenson to Bryan Carey dated July 17, 2006 Letter from Ron Miller to Steve Haagenson dated July 25, 2006 He stated the two points the letters reference — request for bond counsel for work that they did and request for backup for the other part of the invoice. Mr. Bjorkquist noted that the concern that AEA has with the invoice that was given is the description didn’t describe what was done sufficiently to know that it was related to the operations of Bradley as opposed to something else. Reviewing bond documents — what was the purpose, what was intended, why was that being done. Multiple things are going on amongst the utilities with respect to Bradley and other issues — including possible divestiture. That is not related to operating Bradley, and if that is what this legal review is for, it’s inappropriate to be passed through the Bradley budget. That is fundamentally the question that AEA asks — what was being done with this, what’s the work, so that AEA knows. The second part about requesting the work product that came from that, in the past, you have shared work product with AEA, and that is a very efficient way to operate. If there is a common understanding of how things work, things work much better. What was intended was if this is something that you believe is appropriate to share with us, share it so that we don’t have to duplicate the work effort to come to our own conclusion on the very same issues. AEA asks for clarification that it’s appropriate within Bradley operations as opposed to outside Bradley operations into something that would be inappropriate to pass through the Bradley budget. The role that we suggest AEA plays is a minimal role and the only question that we ask related to that is to obtain assurance that what you are invoicing through the Bradley budget, passed through to every ratepayer in the railbelt, is related to Bradley operations and not something else. You are exempt from regulation for Bradley, not from anything else. When the last fiscal Bradley Lake Project Manz, 1ent Committee Meeting July 26, 2006 Page 6 of 6 years budget was approved, there was a request to put in $150,000 for formation of a joint action agency, which is unrelated to operating Bradley — it has to do with the potential divestiture of Bradley. The Bradley budget is inappropriate for that and for AEA just to ask for clarification that the invoices relate to Bradley and Bradley operations is a minimal intrusion into the prerogatives of the BPMC. Chair Stewart asked that there be more use of phones and less use of letters to resolve these issues. 8. COMMITTEE REPORTS 8A. OPERATORS REPORT —- UPDATE ON GOVERNOR MODIF. PROJECT — O’HARE Mr. O’Hare gave a brief overview on the project update handout dated July 26, 2006. The overview included items accomplished, major problems encountered and expenditures to date. He stated that construction was completed on Unit 1 as of May 13, 2006 and have started testing, which was put on hold on May 18, 2006 due to a divider issue. The modifications for that divider issue were completed on July 6, 2006, and testing for Unit 1 was completed on July 10, 2006. The testing proved the new design has improved the operation of the Unit. Unit #2 construction started on July 12, 2006. Expect construction to be complete on August 8, 2006, followed by testing of both units on August 16, 2006. Some of the major problems encountered include a deficiency in the design of the hydraulic system that precluded the dividers to operate at the required speed of 1.1 seconds. That mandated that VA TECH go back and do some redesign and hydraulic upgrades, which caused a delay and a change order to the initial contract. During construction of Unit #1 some problems with the linkage were found, including pitting and galling. VA TECH has corrected these problems with Unit #1 and just found that Unit #2 has the same problems. It has resulted in change orders to the contract and a bit of a delay. During testing of Unit#1,.it was discovered that the new hydraulic system was not strong enough to pull the dividers out of the:stream during four and six needle operations, resulting in VA TECH going back and redesigning the. profiles of the dividers so that the force factor angle was changed to allow the present hydraulics, to be able to pull the dividers out of the stream. 8B. NEXT MEETING DATE The next meeting date will be at the call of the Chair. 9.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying special-purpose financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with, and in conformity with the accounting requirements specified in Note A, and are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The purpose of the Committee is to arrange for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (the Project), which became operational in September 1991, and the scheduling, production and dispatch of power. The members of the Committee include the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) and the five purchasers under the Power Sales Agreement - Chugach Electric Association, Inc.; Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc.; the Municipality of Anchorage (Municipal Light & Power); the City of Seward (Seward Electric System); and the Alaska Electric Generation & Transmission Cooperative, Inc. (AEG&T). The Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA) and the Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. (MEA) are additional parties to the Power Sales Agreement but are included as power purchasers for purposes of representation while AEG&T has no direct vote as a consequence of the individual representation of HEA and MEA. Section 13 of the Power Sales Agreement delineates other Committee responsibilities, including: establishing procedures for each party's water allocation, budgeting for annual Project costs and calculating each party's required contribution to fund annual Project costs. Committee approval of operations and maintenance arrangements for the Project, sufficiency of the annual budgets and wholesale power rates and the undertaking of optional Project work requires a majority affirmative vote and the affirmative vote of AEA. The Power Sales Agreement extends until the later of: 1) 50 years after commencement of commercial operation or 2) the complete retirement of bonds outstanding under the AEA Power Revenue Bond Resolution along with the satisfaction of all other payment obligations under the Power Sales Agreement. Renewal options for additional terms exist. Establishment of Trust Funds: Article V, Section 502 of the Alaska Energy Authority's Power Revenue Bond Resolution established a Revenue Fund and an Operating Fund, including an Operating Reserve account, to be held by AEA. In actuality these funds, along with the Debt Service, Excess Investment Earnings (arbitrage), and various construction funds related to the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project are all held by the Corporate Trust Department of US Bank in Seattle, Washington. BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) June 30, 2006 and 2005 NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) All deposits, including utility contributions and interest transferred from other funds, are made into the Revenue Fund, which transfers amounts approximately equal to one-twelfth of the annual operating and maintenance budget into the Operating Fund on a monthly basis. Additional transfers are made from the Revenue Fund to the Debt Service Fund in order to satisfy semiannual interest payments and annual principal payments on the Project's outstanding bonds payable. Interest earnings available for operations and maintenance are derived from the following funds: Debt Service Fund; Operating Reserve Fund; Operating Fund; Revenue Fund; Capital Reserve Fund; and the Renewal & Contingency Fund when the fund balance is $5,000,000 or greater. Revenue and Expense Recognition: Utility contributions are recognized as revenue when due to be received under the terms of the Power Sales Agreement. Transfers from other funds are recognized when the transfer is made and interest earnings are recognized when received. Operating and maintenance expenses are recognized when incurred, while interest and principal transfers to Debt Service Fund are recognized when the transfer is made. Purchases of fixed asset replacements are expensed when purchased. Transfer to the Renewal and Contingency Reserve Fund (R & C) for repayments of capital costs is recognized at fiscal year end based on capital costs incurred as of fiscal year end. Estimates: The preparation of the special-purpose financial statements of the Operating and Revenue Funds requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes: The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee is exempt from income taxation under Section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE B: INVESTMENTS Substantially all of the balances in the following funds are invested in collateralized investment agreements through the trust department of US Bank. The specified interest rate for monies from the Operating and Revenue Funds invested in the agreements is 7.38% per annum. Balances at June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows: BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) June 30, 2006 and 2005 NOTE B: INVESTMENTS (Continued) 2006 200. Operating Fund $ 534,188 $ 650,865 Revenue Fund 457,898 524,902 Total investments $992,086 $1,175,767 Investments are sold as needed to cover operating requisitions submitted to the trustee and are therefore considered to be short-term and available for sale. Investments are presented at aggregate cost, which approximates market value. For purposes of the cash flow statements, management considers the full amount of the investment balance to be cash available for operations. NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS During May 1994, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into the Master Maintenance and Operating agreement with the Committee. The purpose of the agreement is to establish contract administration and budgeting procedures for maintenance and operation contracts of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project and to provide for the lease or other use of facilities and equipment in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Power Sales Agreement. The term of the Master Agreement is indefinite, remaining in effect until termination of the Power Sales Agreement or until AEA no longer legally exists. This agreement authorizes AEA to enter into any contracts necessary to perform operating or maintenance-type services to the Project, subject to the approval of the Committee. On behalf of the Committee, the AEA entered into an agreement with Chugach Electric Association, Inc. (CEA) in August, 1996, for the provision of all services necessary to dispatch the Bradley Project's electric power output. The dispatch agreement runs concurrently with the wheeling and related services contract entered into by and among the parties to the Power Sales Agreement in December 1987 and remains in effect for the term of the wheeling agreement unless CEA ceases to be the output dispatcher. In August 1996, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into an agreement with CEA on behalf of the Committee for the provision of maintenance services for the Daves Creek and Soldotna SVC Substations. BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) June 30, 2006 and 2005 NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS (Continued) An operation and maintenance agreement dated February 11, 1994, was executed between Homer Electric Association, Inc. and the Alaska Energy Authority. This agreement provides for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project by Homer Electric Association, Inc. The agreement is through June 30, 2004 and continues from year to year thereafter, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination must be given one year in advance of the termination date. HEA is to be reimbursed for costs associated with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project as determined in advance through the submission of an annual budget based upon prudent estimates and anticipated operation and maintenance costs. In August, 1996, the agreement was amended to separate the maintenance of the transmission facilities from the hydroelectric project. The transmission agreement continues from year to year, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination must be given six months in advance of termination dates. In June, 1999 the agreement was again amended to require HEA to provide communication services in addition to the other services. NOTE D: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, costs incurred under the various contracts with related parties described in Note C were as follows: 2006 2005 Homer Electric Association, Inc. — operation, maintenance and communications $ 1,640,208 $ 1,574,296 Chugach Electric Association, Inc. — substation service maintenance $ 89,641 $ 162,448 Alaska Energy Authority — administrative fees $ 200,000 $ 200,000 For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Chugach Electric Association, Inc. provided dispatch services to the Committee at the agreed upon amount which is zero.

By General Manager ALASKA ENERGY AUTHORITY By Executive Director Agreement Amending and Extending the Term of the Operation and Maintenance Agreement for Bradley Lake Project (AEA 2006-01) BRADLEY GOVERNOR PROJECT UPDATE The Bradley governor project is essentially 95% complete. 1. All of the hardware modifications have been completed. 2. The program software is in place and operating satisfactorily with minor exceptions. All project as-builts and manuals have been completed and are in place. All Operators have been trained on the operation of the new governor. CEA dispatchers have been instructed on the use of the new governor. ov The exception noted in item #2 is a minor problem with large power transients during certain needle transitions. These power transients are on the order of 5-7 MW which is well outside the project specifications. We are requiring VA Tech modify the governor algorithms to eliminate, or at least reduce, the amplitude of the transients. Their revisions have been submitted to EPS for modeling evaluations. The initial results look promising and are expected to resolve the problem. When the revised algorithms have been approved, there will be a short (2-5 day) plant outage for installation and testing. We expect this to occur in January or February of 2007. In the meantime, the governor continues to operate well, outside of these particular transitions. Expenditures YTD are as follows: Total budget for FY06 = $ 2,492,351 Total spent in FY06 = $1,721,748 Total budget for FY07 = $867,681 Total spent to date in FY07 = $1,228,432 Total budget for FY06 & FY07 = $3,361,032 Total spent to date for FY06 & FY07 = $2,950,180 Total to date FY06 & FYO7 - under budget by $410,852 BRADLEY AVAILABLE SPIN LIMIT During the early operation of Bradley Lake the governor was slow to respond to system transients. A study was implemented to address this lack of response. As a result of this study a conclusion was reached by the Intertie Operating Committee (IOC) that the spin response exhibited by Bradley Lake was equal to 27 MW of spin on a combustion turbine. The 27 MW was voted on as the spin limit for Bradley Lake with a 14 MW spin limit if on a single unit. Those limits have been in effect since the early days of Bradley Lake operation. With the successful commissioning of the new governor and the resulting increased responsiveness, the Bradley Lake Operations and Dispatch (O&D) Subcommittee agrees that this limit on Bradley Lake spinning reserve is no longer required. The O&D feels the entire capacity of the Bradley Lake Plant that is not already committed, should be available for spinning reserve service. However, there may be other considerations involved in the use of this spinning reserve such as spin quality, location, accessibility and security. For this reason the IOC Dispatch Subcommittee is meeting to evaluate the alternatives and determine new use requirements for the Bradley Lake spinning reserve. The results of this meeting should be available in January of 2007. The O&D recommends the BPMC rescind the present limits on Bradley Lake spinning reserve in favor of new limits and/or use requirements developed by the IOC Dispatch Subcommittee when they have been finalized. BRADLEY POWER AND FIBER CABLE REPLACEMENT The Power and fiber cable replacement project is progressing well and completion is expected by the end of the 2007 construction season. Materials have and continue to be purchased including the cable and microwave equipment. The construction contract will be awarded soon with the expectation of starting work as soon as possible in the Spring. Due to cost increases in materials, we are over the projected project cost at this point by approximately $200,000. While this is of concern it is still within the total project contingency. However, any additional unforeseen cost increases will certainly require a revision to the budget for this project. HEA will provide a project budgetary update at the next BPMC meeting to include a budget amendment request if required. im AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS JUNE 30, 2006 AND 2005 Parisena, Stromberg & Company A Professional Corporation Audited Financial Statements and Other Financial Information BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS Independent Auditor's Report Balance Sheets Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Surplus Statements of Cash Flows Notes to Financial Statements Independent Auditor's Report on Additional Information Statements of Expenses 10 11 Independent Auditor's Report Bradley Lake Project Management Committee Anchorage, Alaska We have audited the accompanying special-purpose balance sheets of the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee Operating and Revenue Funds (a project management committee) as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related special-purpose statements of revenues and expenses, and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Bradley Lake Project Management Committee. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The accompanying special-purpose financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with, and in conformity with the accounting requirements specified in Note A, and are not intended to be a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The purpose of the Committee is to arrange for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (the Project), which became operational in September 1991, and the scheduling, production and dispatch of power. The members of the Committee include the Alaska Energy Authority (AEA) and the five purchasers under the Power Sales Agreement - Chugach Electric Association, Inc.; Golden Valley Electric Association, Inc.; the Municipality of Anchorage (Municipal Light & Power); the City of Seward (Seward Electric System); and the Alaska Electric Generation & Transmission Cooperative, Inc. (AEG&T). The Homer Electric Association, Inc. (HEA) and the Matanuska Electric Association, Inc. (MEA) are additional parties to the Power Sales Agreement but are included as power purchasers for purposes of representation while AEG&T has no direct vote as a consequence of the individual representation of HEA and MEA. Section 13 of the Power Sales Agreement delineates other Committee responsibilities, including: establishing procedures for each party's water allocation, budgeting for annual Project costs and calculating each party's required contribution to fund annual Project costs. Committee approval of operations and maintenance arrangements for the Project, sufficiency of the annual budgets and wholesale power rates and the undertaking of optional Project work requires a majority affirmative vote and the affirmative vote of AEA. The Power Sales Agreement extends until the later of: 1) 50 years after commencement of commercial operation or 2) the complete retirement of bonds outstanding under the AEA Power Revenue Bond Resolution along with the satisfaction of all other payment obligations under the Power Sales Agreement. Renewal options for additional terms exist. Establishment of Trust Funds: Article V, Section 502 of the Alaska Energy Authority's Power Revenue Bond Resolution established a Revenue Fund and an Operating Fund, including an Operating Reserve account, to be held by AEA. In actuality these funds, along with the Debt Service, Excess Investment Earnings (arbitrage), and various construction funds related to the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project are all held by the Corporate Trust Department of US Bank in Seattle, Washington. BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) June 30, 2006 and 2005 NOTE A: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) All deposits, including utility contributions and interest transferred from other funds, are made into the Revenue Fund, which transfers amounts approximately equal to one-twelfth of the annual operating and maintenance budget into the Operating Fund on a monthly basis. Additional transfers are made from the Revenue Fund to the Debt Service Fund in order to satisfy semiannual interest payments and annual principal payments on the Project's outstanding bonds payable. Interest earnings available for operations and maintenance are derived from the following funds: Debt Service Fund; Operating Reserve Fund; Operating Fund; Revenue Fund; Capital Reserve Fund; and the Renewal & Contingency Fund when the fund balance is $5,000,000 or greater. Revenue and Expense Recognition: Utility contributions are recognized as revenue when due to be received under the terms of the Power Sales Agreement. Transfers from other funds are recognized when the transfer is made and interest earnings are recognized when received. Operating and maintenance expenses are recognized when incurred, while interest and principal transfers to Debt Service Fund are recognized when the transfer is made. Purchases of fixed asset replacements are expensed when purchased. Transfer to the Renewal and Contingency Reserve Fund (R & C) for repayments of capital costs is recognized at fiscal year end based on capital costs incurred as of fiscal year end. Estimates: The preparation of the special-purpose financial statements of the Operating and Revenue Funds requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Income Taxes: The Bradley Lake Project Management Committee is exempt from income taxation under Section 501 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. NOTE B: INVESTMENTS Substantially all of the balances in the following funds are invested in collateralized investment agreements through the trust department of US Bank. The specified interest rate for monies from the Operating and Revenue Funds invested in the agreements is 7.38% per annum. Balances at June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows: BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) June 30, 2006 and 2005 NOTE B: INVESTMENTS (Continued) 2006 2005 Operating Fund $ 534,188 $ 650,865 Revenue Fund 457,898 524,902 Total investments $992,086 $_ 1,175,767 Investments are sold as needed to cover operating requisitions submitted to the trustee and are therefore considered to be short-term and available for sale. Investments are presented at aggregate cost, which approximates market value. For purposes of the cash flow statements, management considers the full amount of the investment balance to be cash available for operations. NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS During May 1994, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into the Master Maintenance and Operating agreement with the Committee. The purpose of the agreement is to establish contract administration and budgeting procedures for maintenance and operation contracts of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project and to provide for the lease or other use of facilities and equipment in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Power Sales Agreement. The term of the Master Agreement is indefinite, remaining in effect until termination of the Power Sales Agreement or until AEA no longer legally exists. This agreement authorizes AEA to enter into any contracts necessary to perform operating or maintenance-type services to the Project, subject to the approval of the Committee. On behalf of the Committee, the AEA entered into an agreement with Chugach Electric Association, Inc. (CEA) in August, 1996, for the provision of all services necessary to dispatch the Bradley Project's electric power output. The dispatch agreement runs concurrently with the wheeling and related services contract entered into by and among the parties to the Power Sales Agreement in December 1987 and remains in effect for the term of the wheeling agreement unless CEA ceases to be the output dispatcher. In August 1996, the Alaska Energy Authority entered into an agreement with CEA on behalf of the Committee for the provision of maintenance services for the Daves Creek and Soldotna SVC Substations. BRADLEY LAKE PROJECT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE OPERATING AND REVENUE FUNDS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) June 30, 2006 and 2005 NOTE C: MAJOR CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS (Continued) An operation and maintenance agreement dated February 11, 1994, was executed between Homer Electric Association, Inc. and the Alaska Energy Authority. This agreement provides for the operation and maintenance of the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project by Homer Electric Association, Inc. The agreement is through June 30, 2004 and continues from year to year thereafter, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination must be given one year in advance of the termination date. HEA is to be reimbursed for costs associated with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Project as determined in advance through the submission of an annual budget based upon prudent estimates and anticipated operation and maintenance costs. In August, 1996, the agreement was amended to separate the maintenance of the transmission facilities from the hydroelectric project. The transmission agreement continues from year to year, except upon written notice to terminate by either party. Notice of termination must be given six months in advance of termination dates. In June, 1999 the agreement was again amended to require HEA to provide communication services in addition to the other services. NOTE D: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, costs incurred under the various contracts with related parties described in Note C were as follows: 2006 2005 Homer Electric Association, Inc. — operation, maintenance and communications $ 1,640,208 $ 1,574,296 Chugach Electric Association, Inc. — substation service maintenance $ 89,641 $ 162,448 Alaska Energy Authority — administrative fees $ 200,000 $ 200,000 For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, Chugach Electric Association, Inc. provided dispatch services to the Committee at the agreed upon amount which is zero.

LETTERS FROM AEA - HAAGENSON Mr. Haagenson presented three letters: , 2006 006 06 »sufficiently to know that it was related to the , what | why was that being done. Multiple things are going on he utilities » | 1 Fespe ‘toyBradley and other issues — including possible divestiture. jot related to opetating Bradley, and if that is what this legal review is for, it’s 2 to be passed ‘through the Bradley budget. orien is fundamentally the question that What was being done with this, what's the work’7’so that AEA knows. The second part about requesting the work product that came from that, in the past, you have shared work product with AEA that is a very efficient way to operate. If there is a common understanding of how)things work, things work much better. What was intended was if this is something that you be ieve is appropriate to share with us, share it so that we don’t have to duplicate the work effort to come to our own conclusion on the very same issues. AEA just— gti ope that it’s appropriate within Bradley operations as opposed to outside Bradley operations into something that would be inappropriate to pass through the Bradley budget. operatinns The role that we suggest AEA plays is a minimal role and the nly question that we ask related to that is to obtain assurance that what you are invoicing through the Bradley budget, passed through to every ratepayer in the railbelt, is related to Bradley and not something else. You are exempt from regulation for Bradley, not from anything else. When the last fiscal years budget Bradley Lake Project Mana___ ent Committee Meeting July 26, 2006 Page 6 of 7 was approved, there was a request to put in $150,000 for formation of a joint action agency, which is unrelated to operating Bradley — it has to do with the potential divestiture of Bradley. The Bradley budget is inappropriate for that and for AEA just to ask for clarification that the invoices relate to Bradley and Bradley operations is a minimal intrusion into the prerogatives of the BPMC. Chair Stewart asked that there be more use of phones and less use of letters to resolve these issues. 8. COMMITTEE REPORTS 8A.
