PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Consolidation and Nature of Operations
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pinnacle
West and our subsidiaries: APS, SunCor, APSES, El Dorado and Pinnacle West Marketing & Trading.
Intercompany accounts and transactions between the consolidated companies have been eliminated.
Our accounting records are maintained in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial
statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that we
believe are necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations
and cash flows for the periods presented. We suggest that these condensed consolidated financial
statements and notes be read along with the consolidated financial statements and notes to
consolidated financial statements included in our 2007 Form 10-K, except to the extent of the
following items: (1) we have reclassified certain prior year real estate segment revenues and
expenses to discontinued operations on our Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income in
accordance with SFAS No. 144; (2) we have netted certain
prior year amounts on our Condensed
Consolidated Balance Sheets and Statements of Cash Flows to reflect the adoption of FASB Staff
Position No. FIN 39-1 (see Note 10); and
(3) reclassifications as contributions in aid of
construction of amounts previously reported as part of capital expenditures on the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
3. Quarterly Fluctuations
Weather conditions cause significant seasonal fluctuations in our revenues. In addition, real
estate activities can have significant impacts on our results for interim periods. For these
reasons, results for interim periods do not necessarily represent results expected for the year.
4. Liquidity Matters
The following table shows principal payments due on Pinnacle Wests and APS total long-term
debt and capitalized lease requirements as of March 31, 2008 (dollars in millions):

PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Recent sub-prime mortgage issues have adversely affected the overall financial markets.
Certain bond insurers have had actual or potential downgrades of their AAA credit ratings due to
their insuring certain mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. The
interest rates on eleven issues of APS pollution control bonds, in the aggregate amount of
approximately $343 million, are reset every seven days through auction processes. These bonds are
supported by bond insurance policies provided by Ambac Assurance Corporation, and the interest
rates on the bonds can be directly affected by the rating of the bond insurer. Downgrades of bond
insurers also increase the possibility of a failed auction, which results in higher interest
rates during the failed auction periods. During the first quarter of
2008, we had seven failed
auctions, which represented about 5% of all of our auctions for the quarter. When the auctions
failed, the bondholders received the maximum 14% annual interest rate for the week of the failed
auction. The bonds were successfully re-auctioned the following week. We continue to monitor this
market and are evaluating our options to eliminate our exposure to the auction rate market. We do
not expect, however, that our auction rate interest exposure will have a material adverse impact on
our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
An existing ACC order requires APS to maintain a common equity ratio of at least 40%. As
defined in the ACC order, the common equity ratio is common equity divided by the sum of common
equity and long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt. At March 31, 2008, APS
common equity ratio, as defined, was 54%, its total common equity was approximately $3.4 billion,
and total capitalization was approximately $6.2 billion. APS would be prohibited from paying
dividends if its common equity falls below approximately $2.5 billion, assuming APS total
capitalization remains the same.
SunCor has a $150 million loan facility secured primarily by an interest in land, commercial
properties, land contracts and homes under construction. The loan facility requires compliance
with certain loan covenants pertaining to debt to net worth, debt service, liquidity, cash flow
coverage and restrictions on debt. As of March 31, 2008, the amount of SunCors net assets that
could not be transferred to Pinnacle West in the form of cash dividends as a result of these
covenants was approximately $217 million.
As a result of the restrictions in the preceding two paragraphs, as of March 31, 2008, the
restricted net assets of our subsidiaries exceeded 25% of our consolidated net assets (at March 31,
2008, our consolidated net assets were approximately $3.5 billion). These restrictions do not
materially affect Pinnacle Wests ability to meet its ongoing capital requirements.
5. Regulatory Matters
2008 General Rate Case
On March 24, 2008, APS filed a request with the ACC for a net rate increase of $266 million
for retail customers effective no later than July 1, 2009 (the
March Rate Request) based on a test year ended
September 30, 2007, adjusted as described below. The ACC staff requested that APS update
financial schedules, testimony and other data contained in the March
Rate Request to reflect a test year ended December 31, 2007. Although APS concluded that the March Rate Request complied with applicable ACC test year requirements, to prevent further delays in processing the rate request, APS
agreed to file the updated
information with the ACC on or before June 3, 2008. The ACC
staff has agreed to complete its review of the updated information no later
than 30 days after APS makes its revised submission. Thereafter, we expect the ACC to issue a
procedural schedule detailing the timeline for addressing the request.

PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The
key financial provisions of the March Rate Request included:
|
|
|
an average rate increase of 8.1% for existing customers plus
the establishment of a new growth-related impact fee charged to new
connections; |
|
|
|
|
an increase of $253 million in non-fuel base rates and a net increase of $13 million
for fuel and purchased power costs reflected in base rates, and recovery of up to $53
million of such increases through the impact fee; |
|
|
|
|
a rate base of $5.3 billion, which approximates the ACC-jurisdictional portion of
the book value of utility assets, net of accumulated depreciation and other credits, as
of September 30, 2007, subject to certain adjustments, such as the inclusion of Units 5
and 6 of the Yucca Power Plant (near Yuma in southwestern Arizona), the steam generator
replacements at Palo Verde Unit 3, environmental upgrades to APS coal plants, and other
plant additions under construction at the end of the test year that are currently in
service or expected to go into service before the proposed rates are requested to
become effective; |

|
|
|
|
an $87 million attrition adjustment to address erosion in APS earnings and return
on equity between the end of the test year and 2010; and |
|
|
|
|
a new super-peak residential time-of-use rate and a commercial and industrial
critical peak pricing proposal to allow eligible customers additional options to manage
their electric bills, as well as other conservation-related rate design proposals. |
In addition, APS requested various modifications to the Environmental Improvement Surcharge
and the Demand Side Management Adjustment Clause that will allow APS to expand its conservation and
demand-side management programs and support environmental upgrades to APS facilities in response to
and in anticipation of future environmental requirements.
2007 Retail Rate Order
As previously disclosed, in June 2007 the ACC issued an order (the Retail Rate Order) in a
general retail rate case that APS filed in late 2005. The Retail Rate Order approved a $322
million increase in APS annual retail base revenues, effective July 1, 2007, which included a $315
million fuel-related increase and a $7 million non-fuel related increase. The Retail Rate Order
also authorized APS recovery of approximately $34 million of 2005 Deferrals through a temporary
PSA surcharge over a twelve-month period beginning July 1, 2007, modified the PSA in various
respects and increased the Base Fuel Rate. In addition, the Retail Rate Order provides that the
PSA adjustor that took effect on February 1, 2007 ($0.004 per kWh), and that was scheduled to
expire on January 31, 2008, will remain in effect as long as necessary to allow APS to collect
$46 million of

2007 fuel and purchased power costs deferred as a result of the mid-2007 implementation of the
new Base Fuel Rate. We anticipate that this adjustor will remain in effect through mid-2008.

The PSA rate for the PSA Year (February 1 through January 1) beginning February 1, 2008 was
set at the maximum $0.004 per kWh. Any uncollected deferrals during the 2008 PSA Year resulting
from this limit will be included in the historical component of the PSA rate for the PSA Year
beginning February 1, 2009.
Rate Requests for Transmission and Ancillary Services
On July 10, 2007, APS submitted a revised Open Access Transmission Tariff filing with the FERC
to move from a fixed rate to a formula rate in order to more accurately reflect the costs that APS
incurs in providing transmission and ancillary services. The requested formula rate would have
resulted in an estimated $37 million increase in annual transmission revenues, effective October 1,
2007. The proposed formula rate would be updated each year effective June 1 on the basis of APS
actual cost of service, as disclosed in APS FERC Form 1 report for the previous fiscal year, and
projected capital expenditures. Approximately $30 million of the requested increase represents
charges for transmission services to serve APS retail customers (Retail Transmission Charges).
On September 21, 2007, the FERC issued an order on these proposed revisions to APS
transmission rates in which it accepted APS proposed formula rates and ordered settlement judge
procedures, which are underway. The proposed rates became effective March 1, 2008, subject to
refund based upon the ultimate outcome of proceedings at the FERC on this matter.
On December 31, 2007, APS filed with the ACC an application to increase annual pretax retail
revenues by approximately $30 million, effective March 1, 2008, to cover the Retail Transmission
Charges authorized by the FERC. This retail rate increase implements an ACC-approved mechanism,
the transmission cost adjustor (TCA), by which changes in Retail Transmission Charges can be
reflected in APS retail rates. On February 13, 2008, the ACC voted to approve APS request,
subject to refund pending final outcome of FERC proceedings on this matter.
11
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On June 1, 2008, our FERC transmission rates will automatically adjust based on the formula
mechanism described above. In addition, APS will file a new request with the ACC to implement the
TCA allowing APS to reflect the resulting increased Retail Transmission Charges in its retail
rates.
Equity Infusion Notice
On
May 2, 2008, Pinnacle West filed a Notice with the ACC that
would allow Pinnacle West to infuse up to $400 million of equity
into APS during 2008 in the event Pinnacle West deems it appropriate
to do so. Under Arizona law and
implementing regulatory decisions, Pinnacle West is required to give such notice at least 120 days prior to such an equity
infusion into APS. The ACC may, but need not, take action on this Notice. If the ACC takes no
action within the 120 day notice period, Pinnacle West may thereafter make any such
infusions at the Companys discretion.
Federal
FERC Order
On August 11, 2004, Pinnacle West, APS, Pinnacle West Energy, and APSES (collectively, the
Pinnacle West Companies) submitted to the FERC an update to their three-year market-based rate
review pursuant to the FERCs order implementing a new generation market power analysis. On
December 20, 2004, the FERC issued an order approving the Pinnacle West Companies market-based
rates for control areas other than those of APS, Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) and
Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP). The FERC staff required the Pinnacle West Companies to
submit additional data with respect to these control areas, and the Pinnacle West Companies did so.
On April 17, 2006, the FERC issued an order revoking the Pinnacle West Companies authority to
make sales at market-based rates in the APS control area (the April 17 Order). The FERC found
that the Pinnacle West Companies failed to provide the necessary information about the calculation
of transmission imports into the APS control area to allow the FERC to make a determination
regarding FERCs generation market power screens in the APS control area. The FERC found that
the Pinnacle West Companies may charge market-based rates in the PNM and TEP control areas.
On August 13, 2007, the FERC issued an order on rehearing, reinstating the authority of the
Pinnacle West Companies to make sales at market-based rates in all seasons for sales outside of the
Phoenix Valley, and in all seasons except the summer for sales within the Phoenix Valley. The
Pinnacle West Companies submitted a compliance filing implementing this order to the FERC on
October 12, 2007. This compliance filing was accepted conditionally by FERC in an order issued
January 17, 2008. In compliance with the January 17, 2008 order, the Pinnacle West Companies filed
a revised mitigation plan to implement cost-based rates for sales in the Phoenix Valley during the
summer months. The first summer period under this cost-based mitigation will begin on June 1,
2008. We are awaiting a response from the FERC regarding the approval of our proposed mitigation
plan.
Based upon an analysis of this matter, at this time neither Pinnacle West nor APS believes
that this proceeding will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

6. Retirement Plans and Other Benefits
Pinnacle West sponsors a qualified defined benefit and account balance pension plan, a
nonqualified supplemental excess benefit retirement plan (SEBRP), and other postretirement
benefit plans for the employees of Pinnacle West and our subsidiaries. Pinnacle West uses a
December 31 measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans. The
market-related value of our plan assets is their fair value at the measurement date.
The following table provides details of the plans benefit costs for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007. Also included is the portion of these costs charged to expense, including
administrative costs and excluding amounts billed to electric plant participants or capitalized as

Contributions
The contribution to our pension plan in 2008 is estimated to be approximately $50 million.
The contribution to our other postretirement benefit plans in 2008 is estimated to be approximately
$20 million. APS and other subsidiaries fund their share of the contributions. APS share is
approximately 96% of the plans.

8. Income Taxes
As a result of a change in IRS guidance, we claimed a tax deduction related to an APS tax
accounting method change on our 2001 federal consolidated income tax return. The accelerated
deduction resulted in a $200 million reduction in the current income tax liability and a
corresponding increase in the plant-related deferred tax liability. Our 2001 federal consolidated
income tax return is currently under examination by the IRS. As part of its ongoing examination,
the IRS is reviewing this accounting method change and the resultant deduction. Within the next
three months, we expect that the IRS will finalize its examination of the 2001 return, which will
include a settlement on the tax accounting method change. Although the ultimate outcome of this
matter cannot currently be predicted, as a result of the current status of the examination, we have increased by approximately $13 million our estimate of the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits
included in accrued taxes and other deferred credits on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
at March 31, 2008. We do not expect the ultimate outcome of this examination to have a material
adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations. We expect that it will have a
negative impact on cash flows, but do not believe it will materially affect our ability to meet our
on-going capital requirements. We do not expect that there will be any other significant increases
or decreases in our unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
9. Variable-Interest Entities
In 1986, APS entered into agreements with three separate VIE lessors in order to sell and
lease back interests in Palo Verde Unit 2. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in
accordance with GAAP. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Palo Verde VIEs and, accordingly,
do not consolidate them.
APS is exposed to losses under the Palo Verde sale leaseback agreements upon the occurrence of
certain events that APS does not consider to be reasonably likely to occur. Under certain
circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to Palo Verde
or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), APS would be required to assume the debt associated
with the transactions, make specified payments to the equity participants, and take title to the
leased Unit 2 interests, which, if appropriate, may be required to be written down in value. If
such an event had occurred as of March 31, 2008, APS would have been required to assume
approximately $194 million of debt and pay the equity participants approximately $170 million.
10. Derivative and Energy Trading Accounting
We use derivative instruments (primarily forward purchases and sales, swaps, options and
futures) to manage our exposure to the commodity price risk inherent in the purchase and sale of
fuel, electricity and emission allowances and credits. As of March 31, 2008, we hedged exposures
to the price variability of the power and gas commodities for a maximum of 39 months. The changes
in market value of such contracts have a high correlation to price changes in the hedged
transactions.

Cash Flow Hedges
The changes in the fair value of our hedged positions included in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income, after consideration of amounts deferred under the PSA, for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

During the next twelve months ending March 31, 2009, we estimate that a net gain of $101
million before income taxes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an
offset to the effect of market price changes for the related hedged transactions. To the extent
the amounts are eligible for inclusion in the PSA, the amounts will be recorded as either a
regulatory asset or liability and have no effect on earnings.
FIN 39-1
We adopted FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39,
Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39-1) on January 1, 2008. In accordance
with this guidance, we elected to offset the fair value amounts for derivative instruments,
including collateral, executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.
Collateral was previously reported in other current assets or other current liabilities on our
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This guidance required retrospective application for all
prior periods presented. As a result, our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Statement of
Cash Flows line items changed by the following amounts (dollars in thousands):

We maintain a margin account with a broker to support our risk management and trading
activities. The margin account was a liability of $56 million at March 31, 2008 and an asset of
$31 million at December 31, 2007 and is included in the margin account in the table above. Cash is
deposited with the broker in this account at the time futures or options contracts are initiated.
The change in market value of these contracts (reflected in mark-to-market) requires adjustment of
the margin account balance.
See Note 20 for a discussion of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we adopted
January 1, 2008.
Credit Risk
We are exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance or nonpayment by counterparties. We
have risk management and trading contracts with many counterparties, including one counterparty for
which a worst case exposure represents approximately 19% of Pinnacle Wests $242 million of risk
management and trading assets as of March 31, 2008. Our risk management process assesses and
monitors the financial exposure of this and all other counterparties. Despite the fact that the
great majority of trading counterparties securities are rated as investment grade by the credit
rating agencies, including the counterparty discussed above, there is still a possibility that one
or more of these companies could default, resulting in a material impact on consolidated earnings
for a given period. Counterparties in the portfolio consist principally of financial institutions,
major energy companies, municipalities and local distribution companies. We maintain credit
policies that we believe minimize overall credit risk to within acceptable limits. Determination
of the credit quality of our counterparties is based upon a number of factors, including credit
ratings and our evaluation of their financial condition. To manage credit risk, we employ
collateral requirements, standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and
negative exposures associated with a single counterparty and credit default swaps. Valuation
adjustments are established representing our estimated credit losses on our overall exposure to
counterparties.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station
Spent Nuclear Fuel and Waste Disposal
Nuclear power plant operators are required to enter into spent fuel disposal contracts with
the DOE, and the DOE is required to accept and dispose of all spent nuclear fuel and other
high-level radioactive wastes generated by domestic power reactors. Although the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act required the DOE to develop a permanent repository for the storage and disposal of spent
nuclear fuel by 1998, the DOE has announced that the repository cannot be completed before at least
2017. In November 1997, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
(D.C. Circuit) issued a decision preventing the DOE from excusing its own delay, but refused to
order the DOE to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel. Based on this decision and the DOEs delay, a
number of utilities, including APS (on behalf of itself and the other Palo Verde owners), filed
damages actions against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims. APS is currently pursuing that
damages claim and trial is expected to occur in 2009.
19
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
APS currently estimates it will incur $132 million (in 2008 dollars) over the life of Palo
Verde for its share of the costs related to the on-site interim storage of spent nuclear fuel. At
March 31, 2008, APS had a regulatory liability of $15 million that represents amounts recovered in
retail rates in excess of amounts spent for on-site interim spent fuel storage.
California Energy Market Issues and Refunds in the Pacific Northwest
FERC
In July 2001, the FERC ordered an expedited fact-finding hearing to calculate refunds for spot
market transactions in California during a specified time frame. APS was a seller and a purchaser
in the California markets at issue and, to the extent that refunds are ordered, APS should be a
recipient as well as a payor of such amounts. The FERC is still considering the evidence and
refund amounts have not yet been finalized. However, on September 6, 2005, the Ninth Circuit
issued a decision, concluding that the FERC may not order refunds from entities that are not within
the FERCs jurisdiction. Because a number of the entities owing refunds under the FERCs
calculations are not within the FERCs jurisdiction, this order may affect the level of recovery of
refunds due in this proceeding. In addition, on August 8, 2005, the FERC issued an order allowing
sellers in the California markets to demonstrate that its refund methodology results in an overall
revenue shortfall for their transactions in the relevant markets over a specified time frame. More
than twenty sellers made such cost recovery filings on September 14, 2005. On January 26, 2006,
the FERC conditionally accepted thirteen of these filings, reducing the refund liability for these
sellers. Correspondingly, this will reduce the recovery of total refunds in the California
markets. On August 2, 2006, the Ninth Circuit issued a decision on the appropriate temporal scope
and the type of transactions that are properly subject to the refund orders. In the decision, the
Court preserved the scope of the FERCs existing refund proceedings, but also expanded it
potentially to include additional transactions, remanding the orders to the FERC for further
proceedings. Various parties filed petitions for rehearing on this order. In addition, on
December 19, 2006, the Ninth Circuit issued a decision on the appropriate standard of review at the
FERC on wholesale power contracts in the refund proceedings, specifically addressing the
application of the so-called just and reasonable standard as opposed to the public interest
standard. In so doing, the Ninth Circuit remanded the matter back to the FERC with the requirement
that the FERC review the refund matter using the appropriate standard of review. Several parties
sought rehearing of this decision at the Ninth Circuit. Like the August 2, 2006 Ninth Circuit
decision, the December 19, 2006 decision has the potential to expand the existing FERC refund
proceedings. A settlement, resolving APS issues with certain California parties for the current
refund period, was filed with the FERC on May 2, 2008, which will be followed by a sixty-day comment
period at the FERC. We currently believe the refund claims at the FERC related to the parties not
involved in this settlement, as well as the claims related to the parties involved
in the settlement, will have no material adverse impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
On March 19, 2002, the State of California filed a complaint with the FERC alleging that
wholesale sellers of power and energy, including APS, failed to properly file rate
information at the FERC in connection with sales to California from 2000 to the present under
market-based rates. The complaint requests the FERC to require the wholesale sellers to refund any
rates that are found to exceed just and reasonable levels. This complaint was dismissed by the
FERC, and the State of California appealed the matter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In an
20
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
order issued September 9, 2004, the Ninth Circuit upheld the FERCs authority to permit
market-based rates, but rejected the FERCs claim that it was without authority to consider
retroactive refunds when a utility has not strictly adhered to the quarterly reporting requirements
of the market-based rate system. On September 9, 2004, the Ninth Circuit remanded the case to the
FERC for further proceedings. Following several years of procedural activity, on March 20, 2008,
the FERC re-opened its proceedings. We believe that, once the settlement mentioned above is approved by the FERC, this
matter also will be dismissed as to APS. Accordingly, we currently believe that the outcome of these further
proceedings will have no material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations
or cash flows.
On March 26, 2003, the FERC made public a Final Report on Price Manipulation in Western
Markets, prepared by its staff and covering spot markets in the West in 2000 and 2001. The report
stated that a significant number of entities who participated in the California markets during the
2000-2001 time period, including APS, may potentially have been involved in arbitrage transactions
that allegedly violated certain provisions of the Independent System Operator tariff. After
reviewing the matter, along with the data supplied by APS, the FERC staff moved to dismiss the
claims against APS and to dismiss the proceeding. The motion to dismiss was granted by the FERC on
January 22, 2004. Certain parties have sought rehearing of this order, and that request is
pending. Under the pending settlement agreement mentioned above, filed with the FERC on May 2,
2008, these parties will withdraw their request for rehearing once the settlement is approved by
the FERC.
On July 25, 2001, the FERC also ordered an evidentiary proceeding to discuss and evaluate
possible refunds for wholesale sales in the Pacific Northwest. The FERC affirmed the ALJs
conclusion that the prices in the Pacific Northwest were not unreasonable or unjust and refunds
should not be ordered in this proceeding. This decision was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Ninth Circuit. On August 24, 2007, the Ninth Circuit issued an opinion that remanded the
proceeding to the FERC for further consideration. Petitions for rehearing of this opinion were
filed on December 17, 2007. Although the FERC ruling in this matter is being appealed and the FERC
has not yet calculated the specific refund amounts at issue, we do not expect that the resolution
of these issues will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
Navajo Nation Litigation
In June 1999, the Navajo Nation served Salt River Project with a lawsuit filed in the United
States District Court for the District of Columbia (the D.C. Lawsuit) naming Salt River Project,
several Peabody Coal Company entities (collectively, Peabody), Southern California Edison Company
and other defendants, and citing various claims in connection with the renegotiations of the coal
royalty and lease agreements under which Peabody mines coal for the Navajo Generating Station and
the Mohave Generating Station. APS is a 14% owner of the Navajo Generating Station, which Salt
River Project operates. The D.C. Lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the defendants obtained
a favorable coal royalty rate by improperly influencing the outcome of a federal administrative
process under which the royalty rate was to be adjusted. The suit seeks $600 million in damages,
treble damages, 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 court dismissed all claims against Salt River Project.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In January 2005, Peabody served APS with a lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court for the City of
St. Louis naming APS and the other Navajo Generating Station participants and seeking, among other
things, a declaration that the participants are obligated to reimburse Peabody for any royalty,
tax, or other obligation arising out of the D.C. Lawsuit. Based on APS ownership interest in the
Navajo Generating Station, APS could be liable for up to 14% of any such obligation. APS cannot
currently predict the outcome of this matter.
Superfund
Superfund establishes liability for the cleanup of hazardous substances found contaminating
the soil, water or air. Those who generated, transported or disposed of hazardous substances at a
contaminated site are among those who are PRPs. PRPs may be strictly, and often jointly and
severally, liable for clean-up. On September 3, 2003, the EPA advised APS that the EPA considers
APS to be a PRP in the Motorola 52nd Street Superfund Site, Operable Unit 3 (OU3) in
Phoenix, Arizona. APS has facilities that are within this Superfund site. APS and Pinnacle West
have agreed with the EPA to perform certain investigative activities of the APS facilities within
OU3. Because the investigation has not yet been completed and ultimate remediation requirements
are not yet finalized, at the present time neither APS nor Pinnacle West can accurately estimate
the expenditures that may be required.
Salt River Project
Salt River Project has notified APS that Salt River Project allegedly failed to bill APS for
(a) energy losses under certain service schedules of a power contract between the parties and (b)
certain other charges under the contract. Salt River Project asserts that certain of these
failures to bill APS for such losses and charges may extend back to 1996 and, as a result, claims
that APS owes it approximately $29 million. APS disputes that it is required to pay these
amounts. No lawsuit or litigation has been initiated in the matter at this time. We do not expect
that resolution of this matter will have a material adverse impact on our financial position,
results of operations, or cash flows.
Litigation
We are party to various other claims, legal actions and complaints arising in the ordinary
course of business, including but not limited to environmental matters related to the Clean Air
Act, Navajo Nation issues and EPA and ADEQ issues. In our opinion, the ultimate resolution of
these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

13. Nuclear Insurance
The Palo Verde participants have insurance for public liability resulting from nuclear energy
hazards to the full limit of liability under federal law. This potential liability is covered by
primary liability insurance provided by commercial insurance carriers in the amount of $300 million
and the balance by an industry-wide retrospective assessment program. If losses at any nuclear
power plant covered by the program exceed the accumulated funds, APS could be assessed
retrospective premium adjustments. The maximum assessment per reactor under the program for each
nuclear incident is approximately $101 million, subject to an annual limit of $15 million per
incident, to be periodically adjusted for inflation. Based on APS interest in the three Palo
Verde units, APS maximum potential assessment per incident for all three units is approximately
$88 million, with an annual payment limitation of approximately $13 million.
The Palo Verde participants maintain all risk (including nuclear hazards) insurance for
property damage to, and decontamination of, property at Palo Verde in the aggregate amount of $2.75
billion, a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination.
APS has also secured insurance against portions of any increased cost of generation or purchased
power and business interruption resulting from a sudden and unforeseen accidental outage of any of
the three units. The property damage, decontamination, and replacement power coverages are
provided by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL). APS is subject to retrospective assessments
under all NEIL policies if NEILs losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds. The maximum
amount of retrospective assessments APS could incur under the current NEIL policies totals
$21.1 million. The insurance coverage discussed in this and the previous paragraph is subject to
certain policy conditions and exclusions.

15. Guarantees
We have issued parental guarantees and letters of credit and obtained surety bonds on behalf
of our subsidiaries. Our parental guarantees for Pinnacle West Marketing & Trading and APS relate
to commodity energy products. Our credit support instruments enable APSES to offer energy-related
products and commodity energy. Non-performance or non-payment under the original contract by our
subsidiaries would require performance under the guarantee or surety bond. No liability is
currently recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Pinnacle Wests current
outstanding guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries. Our guarantees have no recourse or
collateral provisions to allow us to recover amounts paid under the guarantees. The amounts and
approximate terms of our guarantees and surety bonds for each subsidiary at March 31, 2008 are as

At March 31, 2008, Pinnacle West had approximately $7 million of letters of credit related to
workers compensation expiring in 2009. We intend to provide from either existing or new
facilities for the extension, renewal or substitution of the letters of credit to the extent
required.
APS has entered into various agreements that require letters of credit for financial assurance
purposes. At March 31, 2008, approximately $200 million of letters of credit were outstanding to
support existing pollution control bonds of approximately $200 million. The letters of credit are
available to fund the payment of principal and interest of such debt obligations and expire in
2010. APS has also entered into approximately $79 million of letters of credit to support certain
equity lessors in the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions (see Note 9 for further details on the
Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions). These letters of credit expire in 2010. Additionally, at
March 31, 2008, APS had approximately $4 million of letters of credit related to counterparty
collateral requirements expiring in 2008. APS intends to provide from either existing or new
facilities for the extension, renewal or substitution of the letters of credit to the extent
required.
We enter into agreements that include indemnification provisions relating to liabilities
arising from or related to certain of our agreements; most significantly, APS has agreed to
indemnify the equity participants and other parties in the Palo Verde sale leaseback transactions
with respect to certain tax matters. Generally, a maximum obligation is not explicitly stated in
the indemnification provisions and, therefore, the overall maximum amount of the obligation under
such indemnification provisions cannot be reasonably estimated. Based on historical experience and
evaluation of the specific indemnities, we do not believe that any material loss related to such
indemnification provisions is likely.

For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the weighted average common shares outstanding were
the same for both basic and diluted shares. There were 703,875 outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock that were excluded from the computation of diluted
earnings per share because the impact of including those options would be antidilutive.
Dilutive stock options and performance shares (which are contingently issuable) increased
average common shares outstanding by approximately 577,000 shares for the three months ended March
31, 2007. All the outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock were included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise prices were
less than the average market price of the common shares for the three-month period ended March
31, 2007.
17. Discontinued Operations
SunCor (real estate segment) - In 2008 and 2007, SunCor sold or expects to sell commercial
properties that are required to be reported as discontinued operations on Pinnacle Wests Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income in accordance with SFAS No. 144. Assets held for sale relate to
commercial properties in the amount of $51 million at March 31, 2008 and $7 million at December 31,
2007. Total revenues related to discontinued operations included in Pinnacle Wests Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were
immaterial.
18. Nuclear Decommissioning Trust
To fund the costs APS expects to incur to decommission Palo Verde, APS established external
decommissioning trusts in accordance with NRC regulations. APS invests the trust funds in fixed
income securities and domestic equity securities. APS applies the provisions of SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, in accounting for investments
in
25
PINNACLE WEST CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
decommissioning trust funds, and classifies these investments as available for sale. As a result,
we record the decommissioning trust funds at their fair value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets. Because of the ability of APS to recover decommissioning costs in rates and in accordance
with the regulatory treatment for decommissioning trust funds, we have recorded the offsetting
amount of gains (losses) on investment securities in other regulatory liabilities or assets. The
following table summarizes the fair value of APS nuclear decommissioning trust fund assets at
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 (dollars in millions):

19. New Accounting Standards
See Note 20 for a discussion of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we
adopted January 1, 2008.
See Notes 10 and S-1 for a discussion of FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB
Interpretation No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39-1), which we
adopted January 1, 2008.
SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities was
effective for us on January 1, 2008. This guidance provides companies with an option to report
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. We did not elect the fair value option
for any of our financial assets or liabilities therefore, SFAS No. 159 did not have an impact on
our financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and
hedging activities. The Statement is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently
evaluating this new guidance but do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
20. Fair Value Measurements
We adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008. This new standard
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. We apply fair value measurements to derivative instruments and nuclear
decommissioning trust assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on our
financial statements.
SFAS No. 157 requires companies to disclose the fair value of certain assets and liabilities
according to a fair value hierarchy. This hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the
inputs used to determine fair values, which are then classified and disclosed in one of three
categories. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:
|
|
|
Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted
prices in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are
observable. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 model-derived valuations with unobservable inputs that are supported by
little or no market activity. |
As required by SFAS No. 157, assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level
of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Companys assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect
the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value
hierarchy levels. The following table presents the fair value at March 31, 2008 of our assets and
liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis for both Pinnacle West Consolidated and APS
(dollars in millions):

S-1. Derivative and Energy Trading Accounting
APS is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the commodity price of electricity,
natural gas and emissions allowances. As part of its overall risk management program, APS uses
various commodity instruments that qualify as derivatives to hedge purchases and sales of
electricity, fuels, and emission allowances and credits. As of March 31, 2008, APS hedged
exposures to these risks for a maximum of 39 months.
Cash Flow Hedges
The changes in the fair value of APS hedged positions included in the APS Condensed
Statements of Income, after consideration of amounts deferred under the PSA, for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

|
During the next twelve months ending March 31, 2009, APS estimates that a net gain of $77
million before income taxes will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as an
offset to the effect of market price changes for the related hedged transactions. To the extent
the amounts are eligible for inclusion in the PSA, the amounts will be recorded as either a
regulatory asset or liability and have no effect on earnings.
FIN 39-1
We adopted FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39,
Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39-1), on January 1, 2008. In accordance
with this guidance, we elected to offset the fair value amounts for derivative instruments,
including collateral, executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.
Collateral was previously reported in other current assets or other current liabilities on our
Condensed Balance Sheets. This guidance required retrospective application for all prior periods
presented. As a result, APS Condensed Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows line items
changed by the following amounts (dollars in thousands):

We maintain a margin account with a broker to support our risk management and trading
activities. The margin account was a liability of $56 million at March 31, 2008 and an asset of
$31 million at December 31, 2007 and is included in the margin account in the table above. Cash is
deposited with the broker in this account at the time futures or options contracts are initiated.
The change in market value of these contracts (reflected in mark-to-market) requires adjustment of
the margin account balance.
See
Note 20 for a discussion of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we adopted
January 1, 2008.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Pinnacle Wests Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Arizona Public Service Companys Condensed Financial
Statements and the related Notes that appear in Item 1 of this report.
OVERVIEW
Pinnacle West owns all of the outstanding common stock of APS. APS is a vertically-integrated
electric utility that provides retail and wholesale electric service to most of the state of
Arizona, with the major exceptions of about one-half of the Phoenix metropolitan area, the Tucson
metropolitan area and Mohave County in northwestern Arizona. APS has historically accounted for a
substantial part of our revenues and earnings, and is expected to continue to do so. Although
customer growth in APS service territory has recently decreased, it is still above the national
average and remains an important driver of our revenues and earnings.
Our cash flows and profitability are affected by the rates APS may charge and the timely
recovery of costs through those rates. APS retail rates are regulated by the ACC and its
wholesale electric rates (primarily for transmission) are regulated by the FERC. APS capital
expenditure requirements, which are discussed below under Liquidity and Capital Resources, are
substantial because of customer growth in APS service territory and inflationary impacts on the
capital budget, highlighting APS need for the timely recovery through rates of these and
other expenditures. On March 24, 2008, APS filed a rate case with the ACC requesting, among other
things, an increase in rates to help defray rising infrastructure costs, approval of an impact fee
and approval of new conservation rates. Details of the current ACC rate case and other retail and
wholesale rate matters are discussed in Note 5.
SunCor, our real estate development subsidiary, has been an important source of earnings in
recent years, although SunCors earnings in 2007 and expected earnings in 2008 reflect the weak
real estate market. See discussion below in Pinnacle West Consolidated Factors Affecting our
Financial Outlook Subsidiaries. Our subsidiary, APSES, provides energy-related products and
services and competitive commodity-related energy services to commercial and industrial retail
customers in the western United States. Recently, APSES has de-emphasized its commodity-related
energy services. El Dorado, our investment subsidiary, owns minority interests in several
energy-related investments and Arizona community-based ventures.
We continue to focus on solid operational performance in our electricity generation and
delivery activities. In the delivery area, we focus on superior reliability and customer
satisfaction. We plan to expand long-term energy resources and our transmission and distribution
systems to meet the electricity needs of our growing retail customers and sustain reliability.
See Pinnacle West Consolidated Factors Affecting Our Financial Outlook below for a
discussion of several factors that could affect our future financial results.

EARNINGS CONTRIBUTION BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Pinnacle Wests two reportable business segments are:
|
|
|
our regulated electricity segment, which consists of traditional regulated retail
and wholesale electricity businesses (primarily electric service to Native Load
customers) and related activities and includes electricity generation, transmission and
distribution; and |
|
|
|
|
our real estate segment, which consists of SunCors real estate development and
investment activities. |

PINNACLE WEST CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating Results Three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared with three-month period ended
March 31, 2007
Our consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $4 million compared
with net income of $17 million for the comparable prior-year period. Net income decreased $21
million in the period-to-period comparison and is reflected in the segments as follows:
|
|
|
Regulated Electricity Segment Net income decreased approximately $10 million
primarily due to higher operations and maintenance expense related to increased costs
for generation (including more planned overhauls and maintenance) and increased
customer service and other costs; and higher depreciation and amortization primarily
due to higher plant balances. These negative factors were partially offset by higher
retail sales primarily due to customer growth. |
|
|
|
|
Real Estate Segment Net income decreased approximately $10 million primarily due
to lower land parcel sales resulting from the weak real estate market. |
Additional details on the major factors that increased (decreased) net income for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared with the prior-year period are contained in the
following table (dollars in millions):

Regulated Electricity Segment Revenues
Regulated electricity segment revenues were $87 million higher for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared with the prior-year period primarily because of:
|
|
|
a $63 million increase in retail revenues due to a rate increase effective July 1,
2007; |
|
|
|
|
a $17 million increase in revenues from Off-System Sales due to higher prices and
volumes; |
|
|
|
|
an $8 million increase in retail revenues primarily related to customer growth,
excluding weather effects; |
|
|
|
|
a $3 million increase due to a transmission rate increase effective March 1, 2008; |
|
|
|
|
an $18 million decrease in retail revenues related to recovery of PSA deferrals,
which had no earnings effect because of amortization of the same amount recorded as
fuel and purchased power expense; and |
|
|
|
|
a $14 million net increase due to miscellaneous factors. |
41
Real Estate Segment Revenues
Real estate segment revenues were $29 million lower for the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared with the prior-year period primarily because of the weak real estate market.
All Other Revenues
All other revenues were $16 million lower for the three months ended March 31, 2008 compared with
the prior-year period primarily due to a $15 million decrease in marketing and trading revenues as
a result of lower mark-to-market gains because of changes in forward prices and lower sales
volumes.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Pinnacle West Consolidated
Operating Cash Flows
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $246 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008, compared with $215 million for the comparable prior-year period, an increase in net cash
flow of $31 million. This increase was primarily due to a change
in the amount of margin cash collected from counterparties as a
result of changes in commodity prices, partially offset by other
miscellaneous factors.
Investing Cash Flows
Net
cash used for investing activities was $248 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared with $184 million for the comparable prior-year period, a decrease in net cash flow
of $64 million.
This cash flow decrease was primarily due to:
|
|
|
An increase in cash used for capital expenditures and capitalized interest of
$33 million (see table and discussion below); and |
|
|
|
|
A decrease of $33 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of securities at
APS. |
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used for financing activities was $36 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $3 million for the comparable
prior-year period, a decrease in net cash flow of $39 million.
This cash flow decrease was primarily due to:
|
|
|
A net decrease of $33 million in short-term borrowings to fund day-to-day
operations and liquidity needs; and |
|
|
|
|
A net decrease of $6 million due to miscellaneous factors. |

Primarily capital expenditures for residential, land development and retail and
office building construction reflected in Real estate investments and Capital
expenditures on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |
Distribution and transmission capital expenditures are comprised of infrastructure additions
and upgrades, capital replacements, new customer construction and related information systems and
facility costs. Examples of the types of projects included in the forecast include power lines,
substations, line extensions to new residential and commercial developments and upgrades to
customer information systems, partially offset by amounts for the recent changes in the line
extension policy. See Line Extension Schedule in Note 3 of the 2007 Form 10-K for further
details regarding the recent changes to the line extension policy.
Generation capital expenditures are comprised of various improvements to APS existing fossil
and nuclear plants. Examples of the types of projects included in this category are additions,
upgrades and capital replacements of various power plant equipment such as turbines, boilers and
environmental equipment. Installation of new steam generators in Palo Verde Unit 3 was completed
in the fourth quarter of 2007 at an approximate cost of $70 million (APS share), which completed
the steam generator replacement program for all three units. Environmental expenditures are
estimated at approximately $70 million to $120 million per year for 2008, 2009 and 2010. We are
also monitoring the status of certain environmental matters, which, depending on their final
outcome, could require additional environmental expenditures. (See Business of Arizona Public
Service Company
43
Environmental Matters Regional Haze Rules in Item 1 of the 2007 Form 10-K.) Generation also
includes nuclear fuel expenditures of approximately $90 million to $120 million per year for 2008,
2009 and 2010.
Capital expenditures will be funded with internally generated cash and/or external financings,
which may include issuances of long-term debt and Pinnacle West common stock.
Pinnacle West (Parent Company)
Our primary cash needs are for dividends to our shareholders and principal and interest
payments on our long-term debt. The level of our common stock dividends and future dividend growth
will be dependent on a number of factors including, but not limited to, payout ratio trends, free
cash flow and financial market conditions.
Our primary sources of cash are dividends from APS, external debt and equity financings and
cash distributions from our other subsidiaries, primarily SunCor. An existing ACC order requires
APS to maintain a common equity ratio of at least 40% and prohibits APS from paying common stock
dividends if the payment would reduce its common equity below that threshold. As defined in the
ACC order, the common equity ratio is common equity divided by the sum of common equity and
long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt. At March 31, 2008, APS common
equity ratio, as defined, was approximately 54%.
Pinnacle West sponsors a qualified defined benefit and account balance pension plan and a
non-qualified supplemental excess benefit retirement plan for the employees of Pinnacle West and
our subsidiaries. IRS regulations require us to contribute a minimum amount to the qualified plan.
We contribute at least the minimum amount required under IRS regulations, but no more than the
maximum tax-deductible amount. The minimum required funding takes into consideration the value of
plan assets and our pension obligation. The assets in the plan are comprised of fixed-income,
equity and short-term investments. Future year contribution amounts are dependent on plan asset
performance and plan actuarial assumptions. We contributed approximately $52 million in 2007. The
contribution to our pension plan in 2008 is estimated to be approximately $50 million. The
expected contribution to our other postretirement benefit plans in 2008 is estimated to be
approximately $20 million. APS and other subsidiaries fund their share of the contributions. APS
share is approximately 96% of both plans.
On April 22, 2008, the Pinnacle West Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of
$0.525 per share of common stock, payable on June 2, 2008, to shareholders of record on May 1,
2008.
See
Equity Infusion Notice in Note 5 for information regarding Pinnacle
Wests filing of a notice with the ACC regarding a potential equity
infusion into APS of up to $400 million during 2008.
APS
APS capital requirements consist primarily of capital expenditures and mandatory redemptions
of long-term debt. APS pays for its capital requirements with cash from operations, equity
infusions from Pinnacle West and, to the extent necessary, external financings. APS has
historically paid its dividends to Pinnacle West with cash from operations. See Pinnacle West
(Parent Company) above for a discussion of the common equity ratio that APS must maintain in order
to pay dividends to Pinnacle West.
Other Financing Matters Although APS defers actual retail fuel and purchased power costs on
a current basis, APS recovery of the deferrals from its ratepayers is subject to annual and, if
necessary,
44
periodic PSA adjustments. See PSA Modifications in Note 3, Item 8 of the 2007 Form 10-K for
information regarding the PSA approved by the ACC.
See Cash Flow Hedges in Note 10 for information related to the change in our margin account.
Other Subsidiaries
During the past three years, SunCor funded its cash requirements with cash from operations and
its own external financings. SunCors capital needs consist primarily of capital expenditures for
land development and retail and office building construction. See the capital expenditures table
above for actual capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2008 and
projected capital expenditures for the next three years. SunCor expects to fund its future capital
requirements with cash from operations and external financings.
El Dorado expects minimal capital requirements over the next three years and intends to focus
on prudently realizing the value of its existing investments.
APSES expects minimal capital expenditures over the next three years.
Debt Provisions
Pinnacle Wests and APS debt covenants related to their respective bank financing
arrangements include debt to capitalization ratios. Certain of APS bank financing arrangements
also include an interest coverage test. Pinnacle West and APS comply with these covenants and each
anticipates it will continue to meet these and other significant covenant requirements. For both
Pinnacle West and APS, these covenants require that the ratio of consolidated debt to total
consolidated capitalization not exceed 65%. At March 31, 2008, the ratio was approximately 51% for
Pinnacle West and 47% for APS. The provisions regarding interest coverage require minimum cash
coverage of two times the interest requirements for APS. The interest coverage was approximately
4.7 times under APS bank financing agreements as of March 31, 2008. Failure to comply with such
covenant levels would result in an event of default which, generally speaking, would require the
immediate repayment of the debt subject to the covenants and could cross-default other debt. See
further discussion of cross-default provisions below.
Neither Pinnacle Wests nor APS financing agreements contain rating triggers that would
result in an acceleration of the required interest and principal payments in the event of a rating
downgrade. However, our bank financial agreements contain a pricing grid in which the interest
costs we pay are determined by our current credit ratings.
All of Pinnacle Wests loan agreements contain cross-default provisions that would result in
defaults and the potential acceleration of payment under these loan agreements if Pinnacle West or
APS were to default under certain other material agreements. All of APS bank agreements contain
cross-default provisions that would result in defaults and the potential acceleration of payment
under these bank agreements if APS were to default under certain other material agreements.
Pinnacle West and APS do not have a material adverse change restriction for revolver borrowings.
See Note 4 for further discussions.

Credit Ratings
The ratings of securities of Pinnacle West and APS as of May 5, 2008 are shown below. The
ratings reflect the respective views of the rating agencies, from which an explanation of the
significance of their ratings may be obtained. There is no assurance that these ratings will
continue for any given period of time. The ratings may be revised or withdrawn entirely by the
rating agencies if, in their respective judgments, circumstances so warrant. Any downward revision
or withdrawal may adversely affect the market price of Pinnacle Wests or APS securities and serve
to increase the cost of and access to capital. It may also require additional collateral related
to certain derivative instruments, natural gas transportation, fuel supply, and other
energy-related contracts.

Pinnacle West has a shelf registration under SEC Rule 415. Pinnacle West
currently has no outstanding, rated senior unsecured securities. However, Moodys
assigned a provisional (P) rating and Standard & Poors assigned a preliminary (prelim)
rating to the senior unsecured securities that can be issued under such shelf
registration. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In 1986, APS entered into agreements with three separate VIE lessors in order to sell and
lease back interests in Palo Verde Unit 2. The leases are accounted for as operating leases in
accordance with GAAP. We are not the primary beneficiary of the Palo Verde VIEs and, accordingly,
do not consolidate them (see Note 9).
APS is exposed to losses under the Palo Verde sale leaseback agreements upon the occurrence of
certain events that APS does not consider to be reasonably likely to occur. Under certain
circumstances (for example, the NRC issuing specified violation orders with respect to Palo Verde
or the occurrence of specified nuclear events), APS would be required to assume the debt associated
with the transactions, make specified payments to the equity participants, and take title to the
leased Unit 2 interests, which, if appropriate, may be required to be written down in value. If
such an event had occurred as of March 31, 2008, APS would have been required to assume
approximately $194 million of debt and pay the equity participants approximately $170 million.
Guarantees and Letters of Credit
We have issued parental guarantees and letters of credit and obtained surety bonds on behalf
of our subsidiaries. Our parental guarantees for Pinnacle West Marketing & Trading and APS relate
to
46
commodity energy products. Our credit support instruments enable APSES to offer
energy-related products and commodity energy. Non-performance or non-payment under the original
contract by our subsidiaries would require performance under the guarantee or surety bond. No
liability is currently recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Pinnacle
Wests current outstanding guarantees on behalf of our subsidiaries. Our guarantees have no
recourse or collateral provisions to allow us to recover amounts paid under the guarantees. We
generally agree to indemnification provisions related to liabilities arising from or related to
certain of our agreements, with limited exceptions depending on the particular agreement. See Note
15 for additional information regarding guarantees and letters of credit.
Contractual Obligations
Our future contractual obligations related to fuel and purchased power contracts have
increased from approximately $3.1 billion at December 31, 2007 to $8.0 billion at March 31, 2008 as

Generation Sources in Part I, Item 1 of the 2007 Form 10-K.
See Note 4 for a list of payments due on total long-term debt and capitalized lease
requirements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In preparing the financial statements in accordance with GAAP, management must often make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting
period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex and actual results could differ from
those estimates. Our most critical accounting policies include the impacts of regulatory
accounting, the determination of the appropriate accounting for our pension and other
postretirement benefits and derivatives accounting. There have been no changes to our critical
accounting policies since our 2007 Form 10-K. See Critical Accounting Policies in Item 7 of the
2007 Form 10-K for further details about our critical accounting policies.
OTHER ACCOUNTING MATTERS
See
Note 20 for a discussion of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which we
adopted January 1, 2008.
See
Notes 10 and S-1 for a discussion of FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1, Amendment of FASB
Interpretation No. 39, Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39-1), which we
adopted January 1, 2008.
We adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities effective January 1, 2008. This guidance provides companies with an option to report
47
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. We did not elect the fair value
option for any of our financial assets or liabilities therefore, SFAS No. 159 did not have an
impact on our financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities. This guidance requires enhanced disclosures about derivative instruments and
hedging activities. The Statement is effective for us on January 1, 2009. We are currently
evaluating this new guidance but do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial
statements.
PINNACLE WEST CONSOLIDATED FACTORS AFFECTING
OUR FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Factors Affecting Operating Revenues, Fuel and Purchased Power Costs
General Electric operating revenues are derived from sales of electricity in regulated retail
markets in Arizona and, to a lesser extent, from competitive retail and wholesale power markets in
the western United States. For the years 2005 through 2007, retail electric revenues comprised
approximately 84% of our total electric operating revenues. Our electric operating revenues are
affected by electricity sales volumes related to customer growth, variations in weather from period
to period, customer mix, average usage per customer, electricity rates and tariffs and the recovery
of PSA deferrals. Off-System Sales of excess generation output, purchased power and natural gas
are included in regulated electricity segment revenues and related fuel and purchased power because
they are credited to APS retail customers through the PSA. These revenue transactions are
affected by the availability of excess economic generation or other energy resources and wholesale
market conditions, including demand and prices. Competitive retail sales of energy and
energy-related products and services are made by APSES in certain western states that have opened
to competition.
Rate Proceedings Our cash flows and profitability are affected by the rates APS may charge
and the timely recovery of costs through those rates. APS retail rates are regulated by the ACC
and its wholesale electric rates (primarily for transmission) are regulated by the FERC. APS
capital expenditure requirements, which are discussed above under Liquidity and Capital Resources
- Capital Expenditure Requirements, are substantial because of customer growth in APS service
territory and inflationary impacts on the capital budget, highlighting APS need for the timely
recovery through rates of these and other expenditures. On March 24, 2008, APS filed a rate case
with the ACC requesting, among other things, an increase in rates to help defray rising
infrastructure costs, approval of an impact fee and approval of new conservation rates. Details of
the current ACC rate case and other retail and wholesale rate matters are discussed in Note 5.
Fuel and Purchased Power Costs Fuel and purchased power costs included on our Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income are impacted by our electricity sales volumes, existing contracts
for purchased power and generation fuel, our power plant performance, transmission availability or
constraints, prevailing market prices, new generating plants being placed in service in our market
areas, our hedging program for managing such costs and, since April 1, 2005, PSA deferrals and the
amortization thereof. See PSA Modifications in Note 3, Item 8 of the 2007 Form 10-K for
information regarding the PSA. APS recovery of PSA deferrals from its ratepayers is subject to
annual and, if necessary, periodic PSA adjustments.
Customer and Sales Growth The customer and sales growth referred to in this paragraph apply
to Native Load customers and sales to them. Customer growth in APS service territory for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2008 was 2.0% compared with the prior-year period. Customer
growth
48
averaged 4.0% a year for the three years 2005 through 2007; and we currently expect customer growth
to decline, averaging about 1% to 2% per year for 2008 through 2010 due to factors reflecting the
economic conditions both nationally and in Arizona. For the three years 2005 through 2007, APS
actual retail electricity sales in kilowatt-hours grew at an average annual rate of 4.8%; adjusted
to exclude the effects of weather variations, such retail sales growth averaged 3.8% a year. We
currently estimate that total retail electricity sales in kilowatt-hours will grow 1% to 2% on
average per year, during 2008 through 2010, excluding the effects of weather variations. We
currently expect our retail sales growth in 2008 to be below average because of potential effects
on customer usage from the economic conditions mentioned above and retail rate increases (see Note
5).
Actual sales growth, excluding weather-related variations, may differ from our projections as
a result of numerous factors, such as economic conditions, customer growth, usage patterns and
responses to retail price changes. Our experience indicates that a reasonable range of variation
in our kilowatt-hour sales projection attributable to such economic factors can result in increases
or decreases in annual net income of up to $10 million.
Weather In forecasting retail sales growth, we assume normal weather patterns based on
historical data. Historical extreme weather variations have resulted in annual variations in net
income in excess of $20 million. However, our experience indicates that the more typical
variations from normal weather can result in increases or decreases in annual net income of up to
$10 million.
Wholesale Market Our marketing and trading activities focus primarily on managing APS risks
relating to fuel and purchased power costs in connection with its costs of serving Native Load
customer demand. Our marketing and trading activities include, subject to specified parameters,
marketing, hedging and trading in electricity, fuels and emission allowances and credits. See
Rate Requests for Transmission and Ancillary Services in Note 5 for information regarding APS
filing with the FERC requesting an increase in transmission rates.
Other Factors Affecting Financial Results
Operations and Maintenance Expenses Operations and maintenance expenses are impacted by
growth, power plant operations, maintenance of utility plant (including generation, transmission,
and distribution facilities), inflation, outages, higher-trending pension and other postretirement
benefit costs and other factors.
Depreciation and Amortization Expenses Depreciation and amortization expenses are impacted by
net additions to utility plant and other property (such as new generation, transmission, and
distribution facilities), and changes in depreciation and amortization rates. See Capital
Expenditures above for information regarding planned additions to our facilities.
Property Taxes Taxes other than income taxes consist primarily of property taxes, which are
affected by the value of property in-service and under construction, assessment ratios, and tax
rates. The average property tax rate for APS, which currently owns the majority of our property,
was 8.3% of the assessed value for 2007 and 8.9% of assessed value for 2006. We expect property
taxes to increase as we add new utility plant (including new generation, transmission and
distribution facilities) and as we improve our existing facilities. See Capital Expenditures
above for information regarding planned additions to our facilities.
49
Interest Expense Interest expense is affected by the amount of debt outstanding and the
interest rates on that debt. The primary factors affecting borrowing levels are expected to be our
capital expenditures, long-term debt maturities, and internally generated cash flow. Capitalized
interest offsets a portion of interest expense while capital projects are under construction. We
stop accruing capitalized interest on a project when it is placed in commercial operation.
Retail Competition Although some very limited retail competition existed in Arizona in 1999
and 2000, there are currently no active retail electric service providers providing unbundled
energy or other utility services to APS customers. We cannot predict when, and the extent to
which, additional electric service providers will re-enter APS service territory.
Subsidiaries SunCors net income was $24 million in 2007, $61 million in 2006 and $56 million
in 2005. See Note 17 for further discussion. We currently expect minimal contributions from
SunCor in 2008. This estimate reflects the weak real estate market.
The historical results of APSES, Pinnacle West Marketing & Trading and El Dorado are not
indicative of future performance.
General Our financial results may be affected by a number of broad factors. See
Forward-Looking Statements below for further information on such factors, which may cause our
actual future results to differ from those we currently seek or anticipate.
Market Risks
Our operations include managing market risks related to changes in interest rates, commodity
prices and investments held by our nuclear decommissioning trust fund.
Interest Rate and Equity Risk
We have exposure to changing interest rates. Changing interest rates will affect interest
paid on variable-rate debt and the market value of fixed income securities held by our nuclear
decommissioning trust fund. The nuclear decommissioning trust fund also has risks associated with
the changing market value of its investments. Nuclear decommissioning costs are recovered in
regulated electricity prices.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in the commodity price and transportation
costs of electricity, natural gas and emissions allowances. Our ERMC, consisting of officers and
key management personnel, oversees company-wide energy risk management activities and monitors the
results of marketing and trading activities to ensure compliance with our stated energy risk
management and trading policies. We manage risks associated with these market fluctuations by
utilizing various commodity instruments that qualify as derivatives, including exchange-traded
futures and options and over-the-counter forwards, options and swaps. As part of our risk
management program, we use such instruments to hedge purchases and sales of electricity, fuels and
emissions allowances and credits. The changes in market value of such contracts have a high
correlation to price changes in the hedged commodities.
The following tables show the net pretax changes in mark-to-market value of our derivative
positions for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 (dollars in millions):

These contracts are hedges of
our forecasted purchases of natural gas and electricity. The impact of these
hypothetical price movements would substantially offset the impact that these same
price movements would have on the physical exposures being hedged. To the extent the amounts are eligible for inclusion in the PSA, the amounts
are recorded as either a regulatory asset or liability. |
Credit Risk
We are exposed to losses in the event of non-performance or non-payment by counterparties.
See Note 1, Derivative Accounting in Item 8 of our 2007 Form 10-K for a discussion of our credit
valuation adjustment policy. See Note 10 for further discussion of credit risk.
ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating Results Three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared with three-month period ended
March 31, 2007
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $6 million compared with net income
of $4 million for the comparable prior-year period. Net income decreased approximately $10 million
primarily due to higher operations and maintenance expense related to increased costs for
generation (including more planned overhauls and maintenance) and increased customer service and other costs;
and higher depreciation and amortization primarily due to higher plant balance. These negative
factors were partially offset by higher retail sales primarily due to customer growth.
Additional details on the major factors that increased (decreased) net income for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2008 compared with the prior-year period are contained in the
following table (dollars in millions):

Regulated Electricity Segment Revenues
Regulated electricity segment revenues were $87 million higher for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 compared with the prior-year period primarily because of:
|
|
|
a $63 million increase in retail revenues due to a rate increase effective July 1,
2007; |
|
|
|
|
a $17 million increase in revenues from Off-System Sales due to higher prices and
volumes; |
|
|
|
|
an $8 million increase in retail revenues primarily related to customer growth,
excluding weather effects; |
|
|
|
|
a $3 million increase due to a transmission rate increase effective March 1, 2008; |
|
|
|
|
an $18 million decrease in retail revenues related to recovery of PSA deferrals,
which had no earnings effect because of amortization of the same amount recorded as
fuel and purchased power expense; and |
|
|
|
|
a $14 million net increase due to miscellaneous factors. |

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Arizona Public Service Company
Operating Cash Flows
Net
cash provided by operating activities was $266 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008, compared with $185 million for the comparable prior year period, an increase in net cash
flow of $81 million. This change was primarily due a change
in the amount of margin cash collected from counterparties as a
result of changes in commodity prices and other
miscellaneous factors.
Investing Cash Flows
Net
cash used for investing activities was $240 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared with $164 million for the comparable prior year period, a decrease in net cash flow
of $76 million.
This cash flow decrease was primarily due to:
|
|
|
An increase of $43 million in cash used for capital expenditures and related
capitalized interest costs (see table and discussion above); and |
|
|
|
|
A decrease of $33 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of securities. |
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash used for financing activities was $70 million for the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared with no cash used for the comparable prior year period, a decrease in net cash flow
of $70 million.
The cash flow decrease was primarily due to:
|
|
|
A net decrease of $27 million in short-term borrowings to fund day-to-day
operations and liquidity needs; and |
|
|
|
|
A decrease of $43 million due to the timing of dividends paid. |
For additional discussion see LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Pinnacle West Consolidated.
Contractual Obligations
APS future contractual obligations related to fuel and purchased power contracts have
increased from approximately $3.0 billion at December 31, 2007 to $7.9 billion at March 31, 2008 as

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See Pinnacle West Consolidated Factors Affecting Our Financial Outlook in Item 2 above for
a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of a company
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports
that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods
specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without
limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and
communicated to a companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Pinnacle Wests management, with the participation of Pinnacle Wests Chief Executive Officer
and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of Pinnacle Wests disclosure
controls and procedures as of March 31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, Pinnacle Wests Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, Pinnacle Wests
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
APS management, with the participation of APS Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of APS disclosure controls and procedures as of March
31, 2008. Based on that evaluation, APS Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have
concluded that, as of that date, APS disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The term internal control over financial reporting (defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) refers to
the process of a company that is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with GAAP.
56
No change in Pinnacle Wests or APS internal control over financial reporting occurred during
the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2008 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, Pinnacle Wests or APS internal control over financial reporting.

Construction and Financing Programs
See Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part I, Item 2 of this report for a discussion of
construction and financing programs of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Regulatory Matters
See Note 5 for a discussion of regulatory developments.
58
NRC Inspection
In early 2007, the NRC placed Palo Verde Unit 3 in the multiple/repetitive degraded
cornerstone column of the NRCs Action Matrix, which has resulted in an enhanced NRC inspection
regime, including on-site in-depth inspections of Palo Verde equipment and operations. See
Business of Arizona Public Service Company, Nuclear Generating Facility NRC Inspection in Item
1 of the 2007 Form 10-K for more information regarding the enhanced inspection regime and related
procedures and correspondence between APS and the NRC. On March 31, 2008, APS submitted to the NRC
a revision to its improvement plan to address issues raised by the NRC in its Inspection Report.
The NRC will continue to provide increased oversight at Palo Verde until the facility demonstrates
sustained performance improvement. APS will continue cooperating fully with the NRC throughout
this process.
Environmental Matters
Superfund
See Superfund in Note 12 for a discussion of a Superfund site.
By letter
dated April 25, 2008, the EPA informed APS that it may be a PRP
in the Gila River Indian Reservation Superfund Site in Maricopa
County, Arizona. We are currently evaluating this matter and
investigating whether APS owns land located within this Superfund
site. Currently the EPA is only seeking payment from APS and other
PRPs for past
cleanup-related costs. We have not yet completed our review and are
unable to predict the outcome of this matter; however, based upon the
total amount of cleanup costs reported by the EPA in its letter to
APS, we do not expect that the resolution of this matter will have a
material adverse impact on our financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
Mercury On March 15, 2005, the EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) to control
mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants. This rule established performance standards
limiting mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants and established a two phased market-based
emissions trading program. Under the trading program, the EPA assigned each state a mercury
emissions budget and each state must submit to the EPA a plan detailing how it will meet its
budget. In the first phase of the program, beginning in 2010, mercury emissions from all
coal-fired power plants in the country will be reduced from a total of 48 tons per year to 38 tons.
In 2018, those emissions will be further reduced to 15 tons.
In November 2006, ADEQ submitted a State Implementation Plan (SIP) to the EPA to implement
the CAMR. ADEQs SIP generally incorporated the EPAs model cap-and-trade program, but it included
additional requirements, including the requirement to meet a 90% mercury removal control level or
0.0087 lbs/GWh, whichever is greater, the requirement to obtain mercury allowances at a 2:1 ratio
for any emissions that fall below the specified control level, and the requirement, beginning in
2013, to consider clean coal technologies as part of permitting any new generation.
On February 8, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the CAMR and the
EPA rule that allowed for the creation of the CAMR and, on March 14, 2008, the court issued the
mandate to vacate these rules. The EPA is expected to ask for a rehearing of the decision and/or
appeal to the Supreme Court. 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 several years to establish its standard, followed by a period of several years during
which existing plants would implement any controls needed to comply with the standard. The courts
ruling also invalidates CAMR-based portions of ADEQs mercury rule (the trading provisions of the
rule), although the state-only emission limits remain in effect. While we continue to monitor this
matter, we cannot predict the final outcome of the courts proceeding (if a rehearing is requested
or appeal filed), the response of ADEQ or the scope, timing or impact of any alternate rules that
may be proposed to address mercury emissions.
We have installed, and continue to install, certain of the equipment necessary to meet the
current mercury standards. However, due to the recent U.S. Court of Appeals decision, we will
monitor the type and timing of any necessary equipment installation. The estimated costs expected
to be incurred over the
59
next three years for such equipment are included in our environmental expenditure estimates (see
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Capital
Expenditures in Item 2).
Federal Implementation Plan Four Corners
As previously reported, in April 2007, the EPA adopted a source specific FIP to set air
quality standards at Four Corners, after which APS filed a petition for review in the United States
District Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit seeking revisions to the FIP to clarify certain
requirements and allow operational flexibility. See Business of Arizona Public Service Company,
Environmental Matters, Federal Implementation Plan Four Corners FIP in Item 1 of the 2007 Form
10-K for additional details regarding this matter. Briefing in this case is now complete and the
court scheduled oral arguments, as requested by the EPA, to occur in May 2008. We anticipate that
the court will issue its opinion before the end of 2008. Although we cannot predict the outcome or
the actual timing of these matters, we do not believe that they will have a material adverse impact
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Climate Change
Legislative and Regulatory Initiatives. In the past several years, the United States Congress
has considered bills that would regulate domestic greenhouse gas emissions, but such bills have not
yet received sufficient Congressional approval to become law; however, there is growing consensus
that some form of regulation or legislation is likely to occur in the near future at the federal
level with respect to greenhouse gas emissions. In 2007, the United States Supreme Court ruled
that greenhouse gases fit within the Clean Air Acts broad definition of air pollutant and, as a
result, the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions of new motor vehicles under
the Clean Air Act. The court held that the only way the EPA can avoid regulating greenhouse gases
is if it determines that the emissions do not contribute to climate change, or if the EPA provides
a reasonable explanation for why it cannot or will not exercise its discretion to regulate these
emissions. While this decision applies only to emissions from new motor vehicles, if the EPA
determines that greenhouse gas emissions can reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or
welfare, this determination will likely impact other Clean Air Act programs as well, and could
potentially result in new regulatory requirements for our power plants.
If any emission reduction legislation or regulations are enacted, we will assess our
compliance alternatives, which may include replacement of existing equipment, installation of
additional pollution control equipment, purchase of allowances, curtailing certain operations, or
other actions. Although associated capital expenditures or operating costs resulting from
greenhouse gas emission regulations or legislation could be material, we believe that we would be
able to recover the costs of these environmental compliance initiatives through our rates.
Regional Initiative. In 2007, six western states (Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon,
Utah and Washington) and two Canadian provinces (British Columbia and Manitoba) entered into an
accord, the Western Climate Initiative (the Initiative), to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from
automobiles and certain industries, including utilities. In August 2007, the Initiative
participants set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 15% below 2005 levels by 2020. By
August 2008, the Initiative participants intend to develop a plan for implementation of this goal.
We believe that the implementation of any such program in Arizona would require legislative action.
While we continue to monitor the impact of the Initiative, at the present time we cannot predict
what form it will ultimately take, whether it will be implemented or, if it is implemented, what
impact it will have on our operations.

Company Response to Climate Change Initiatives. While we are currently not subject to state
or federal limits on our greenhouse gas emissions, we have undertaken a number of initiatives to
address emission concerns, including renewable energy development and the procurement and promotion
of programs and rates related to energy conservation, renewable energy use and energy efficiency.
APS currently has a diverse portfolio of renewable resources including wind, geothermal, solar and
biomass and we are focused on increasing the percentage of our energy that is produced by renewable
resources. (See Business of Arizona Public Service Company Alternative Generation Sources in
Item 1 of the 2007 Form 10-K.) In addition, we are currently developing a Climate Management
Report to comply with an ACC order in which the ACC directed APS to undertake a climate management
plan, carbon emission reduction study and commitment and action plan with public input and ACC
review. We expect to complete the report in 2008.
In January 2008, APS joined the Climate Registry as a Founding Reporter. Founding Reporters
are companies that voluntarily join the non-profit organization before May 2008 to measure and
report greenhouse gas emissions in a common, accurate and transparent manner consistent across
industry sectors and borders. Pinnacle West has also reported, and will continue to report,
greenhouse gas emissions in its annual Corporate Responsibility Report, which is available on our
website (www.pinnaclewest.com). In addition to emissions data, the report provides information
related to the Company, its approach to sustainability and its workplace and environmental
performance. The information on Pinnacle Wests website, including the Corporate Responsibility
Report, is not incorporated by reference into this report.
