Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 -- Financial Statement Presentation
The information presented in this Form 10-Q is unaudited. In the opinion
of management the information reported reflects all adjustments which were
necessary to a fair statement of the results for the periods reported.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously reported
data to the current presentation.
NOTE 2 -- Merger Agreement with RWE
On September 16, 2001 the Company entered into a merger agreement with RWE
Aktiengesellschaft and Thames Water Aqua Holdings GmbH, which is RWE's
holding company for its global water business, to merge with a subsidiary
of RWE and become a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of RWE. Under the
terms of the merger agreement RWE will purchase all the outstanding shares
of American Water Works Company common stock at a price of $46.00 per
share in cash.
RWE is a global multi-utility company that does business through its
subsidiaries and affiliates in over 120 countries. Its core businesses
are electricity, gas, water, and waste and recycling. Upon completion of
the transaction, American Water will be combined with the U.S. operations
of Thames Water Plc, RWE's London-based international water services
business. American Water will manage the joint operations in North,
Central and South America.
The transaction was approved at a special meeting of the stockholders of
American Water Works Company on January 17, 2002. Before the transaction
can be completed, state and federal regulatory approvals are required. As
of the end of January 2002, all of the applications for approval were
filed where required by state regulatory authorities. The states where
applications for approval have been filed are Arizona, California, Hawaii,
Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The states of
Georgia and Michigan do not regulate the Company's utility operations, and
the states of Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio and Texas have no statutory
jurisdiction over the RWE transaction. The Company is still awaiting
approval in nine states. Those states are Arizona, California, Illinois,
Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia. In Arizona hearings will be conducted in August and a final
decision is anticipated during the early part of the fourth quarter of
2002. In California a schedule for processing the request has been issued
by the Commission that could result in an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ)
assigned to the case issuing a recommended decision no later than December
19, 2002. Once the ALJ's decision is issued there is a 25-day period for
comments by the applicants and intervenors before the record is presented
to the Commission for decision. In Illinois hearings have been completed
and it is anticipated that a final decision will be issued by the end of
the year. In Maryland hearing dates have not been established. In New
Jersey hearings are scheduled to conclude during August and a final
decision is anticipated early in the fourth quarter. In New Mexico the
ALJ assigned to the case issued a decision that recommends approval of the
acquisition with conditions, and a final decision from the Commission on
the Judge's recommendation is anticipated during August. In New York the
labor union representing a portion of the Company's workforce has
recommended that the Commission approve the acquisition, with a final
decision from the Commission anticipated prior to the end of 2002. In
Pennsylvania the ALJ assigned to the case issued a decision that
recommends approval of the acquisition with conditions, and a final
decision from the Commission on the Judge's recommendation is anticipated
during August. In West Virginia an agreement has been reached among the
parties that recommends approval of the acquisition and identifies
conditions to be included in the order, and a final Commission decision
regarding the agreement is anticipated during August. Since approving the
transaction in May, the Kentucky Public Service Commission reaffirmed its
decision and clarified some of the conditions set forth in its original
order. Although the Indiana Public Utility Commission does not have
statutory jurisdiction over the transaction, that Commission is conducting
a review of the transaction that is anticipated to be concluded during
September. The Company made a Hart-Scott-Rodino filing with the Federal
Trade Commission in the second quarter of 2002 and the investigation
period expired without additional inquiry. The Company continues to
believe that the original projection for a closing to occur some time
during the first six months of 2003 remains a reasonable expectation.
One condition of the agreement requires the Company to redeem its publicly
traded preferred stock prior to closing. That redemption was completed on
March 1, 2002.
During the first six months of 2002 the Company recorded a charge of $1.7
million, reflecting costs incurred in connection with the merger. The
merger related costs have been reported on a separate line in the
consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. No tax benefit
was recognized for these legal fees because it is not probable that these
costs will be deductible for tax purposes.
On November 6, 2001 the Company and its financing subsidiary, American
Water Capital Corp.(AWCC), executed a Note Purchase Agreement with RWE for
$1.2 billion in senior unsecured notes at an interest rate of 4.92%. The
notes were purchased at par by RWE and mature on November 6, 2006.
The Company and its subsidiaries used the proceeds from the sale of the
notes to acquire the common stock of Azurix North America Corp. and Azurix
Industrials Corp., to fund the acquisition of the water and wastewater
assets of Citizens Communications Company and to reduce outstanding short-
term debt. Closing occurred in two tranches with one on November 6, 2001
in the amount of $298.5 million and another on January 14, 2002 in the
amount of $900 million.
On June 12, 2002 the Company and AWCC executed a Note Purchase Agreement
with RWE for $320 million in senior unsecured notes. The agreement calls
for up to $170 million in notes at an interest rate of 5.65% and $150
million in notes at a floating interest rate based on LIBOR rates plus 20
basis points. Closing occurred on $40 million of the 5.65% senior notes
on June 12, 2002 and the Company expects closing of the remaining $130
million of 5.65% notes to occur in the fourth quarter of 2002. The 5.65%
notes and floating rate notes are due on June 12, 2007 and June 26, 2003,
respectively. These notes will be primarily used to repay short-term debt.
NOTE 3 -- Acquisition Of Water And Wastewater Assets Of Citizens
Communications Company
On January 15, 2002 the Company and its subsidiaries completed their
acquisition of all of the water and wastewater assets of Citizens
Communications Company (NYSE:CZN) for $859 million in cash and $120
million of assumed liabilities. A $.8 million increase to the purchase
price has been agreed upon after the substantial completion of an audited
closing statement of net assets. The acquired operations provide water
and wastewater service to almost 300,000 regulated customers in Arizona,
California, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Citizens also had
developed a water supply project in Illinois with the possibility of
additional wholesale customers along the pipeline.
The Company is completing the determination of the amounts to be assigned
to intangible assets and goodwill. At June 30, 2002, $80.6 million and
$59.6 were recorded as goodwill and intangibles, respectively, in
connection with this transaction. A value of $54.3 million was assigned
to intangible assets with an indefinite life, and $5.3 million of value
was assigned to intangible assets with lives from 15 to 21 years.
The purchase price for these assets was consistent with the multiples paid
in other similar transactions. Regulatory and strategic considerations
contributed to a purchase price that resulted in the recognition of
goodwill. The assets reside in progressive regulatory environments where
the Company currently operates and broadens the geographic diversity of
the Company's total operations. The inclusion of the acquired customers
in California and Arizona increases the Company's customers in the Western
United States to 10% of its total customer base. With the acquisition,
the Company becomes one of the principal water purveyors in the Phoenix
area and strengthens its competitive position for the privatization
opportunities in this rapidly growing region and the other states included
in the acquisition footprint.
The unaudited pro forma results listed below were prepared as if the
acquisition occurred on January 1, 2001 and include the historical results

NOTE 4 -- Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill increased from $136.5 million at December 31, 2001 to $219.1
million at June 30, 2002, primarily due to goodwill associated with the
Citizens acquisition that was completed on January 15, 2002. At June 30,
2002 $103.3 million of the Company's goodwill was assigned to the
regulated utility services segment and $115.8 million was assigned to the
unregulated services segment.
Intangible assets increased from $23.4 million at December 31, 2001 to
$81.9 million at June 30, 2002, reflecting $59.6 million of intangible
assets acquired in the Citizens transaction. At June 30, 2002 $59.5
million of the intangible assets were in the regulated utility services
segment and $22.4 million were in the unregulated services segment.
Intangible assets with finite lives at June 30, 2002 consisted of $5.3
million ($5.2 million net) in the regulated utility services segment with
lives from 15 to 21 years and $23.4 million ($22.4 million net) in the
unregulated services segment with lives of 11 years.
NOTE 5 -- Other Investments
On April 2, 2002 the Company tendered approximately 2.2 million shares of
its 3.5 million shares of ITC Holding Company (ITC) common stock. The
Company tendered the shares as part of ITC's program to repurchase its own
stock. The Company acquired this stock with the 1999 acquisition of
National Enterprises Inc. (NEI) as it was part of NEI's non-water related
investments. The sale resulted in proceeds of $26.2 million, and a $14
million after-tax gain which was reflected in second quarter 2002 results.
This cash gain was offset by a $10.8 million non-cash loss, $6.7 million
after tax, that was also recorded during the second quarter when the
Company determined that the value of two other securities acquired as part
of the NEI acquisition had become permanently impaired. The Company
continues to review all reasonable options regarding the remaining
securities that include 1.3 million shares of Deutsche Telekom and 1.3
million shares of ITC acquired as part of the NEI acquisition.
NOTE 6 -- Gain From Sale Of Operating Systems
Kelda Group plc and the Company jointly announced on August 30, 2001 that
they had reached an agreement whereby Kelda's Aquarion Company would
acquire the Company's New England operations. On April 25, 2002 the
Company completed the divestiture and received its initial cash payment of
$120.5 million subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement. An
$18.6 million after-tax gain was reflected in second quarter 2002 results.
The utility operations acquired by Aquarion serve a total of 65,000
customers and had revenues of $51 million in 2001. A finance subsidiary
of the Company, which owns and leases certain assets to its affiliated
operating company in Massachusetts, was also acquired by Aquarion as part
of the transaction.
NOTE 7 -- Gain On Sale Of Land
Two of the Company's subsidiaries completed separate transactions for the
sale of non-essential property that resulted in $10 million in after-tax
net gains during the second quarter of 2002. These sales resulted in
proceeds of approximately $16 million.
NOTE 8 -- Earnings Per Share
The average number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share
includes 13,520 of potential common shares issuable in connection with the
long-term incentive program for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001
and 259,534 and 145,483 potential common shares for employee stock options
for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
The average number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share
includes 8,128 of potential common shares issuable in connection with the
long-term incentive program for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001
and 287,490 and 119,110 potential common shares for employee stock options
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

NOTE 10 -- New Accounting Standards
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS
141) and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142),
collectively referred to as the "Standards." SFAS 141 supersedes
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 16, "Business Combinations."
The provisions of SFAS 141 (1) require that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001, (2) provided specific criteria for the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill, and (3) require that
unamortized negative goodwill be written off immediately as an
extraordinary gain instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS 141 also
requires that upon adoption of SFAS 142 the Company reclassify the
carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of goodwill,
based on certain criteria. SFAS 142 supersedes APB 17, "Intangible
Assets," and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and
intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions
of SFAS 142 (1) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets, (2) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim
periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of
goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired), (3)
require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing
potential future impairments of goodwill, and (4) remove the forty-year
limitation on the amortization period of intangible assets that have
finite lives. The Company adopted the provisions of the Standards on
January 1, 2002.
The Standards require the excess of the fair values of acquired net assets
over cost recorded in the statement of financial position to be recognized
as the effect of a change in accounting principle as of the date SFAS 141
is initially applied in its entirety. In compliance with this transition
requirement the Company recognized a $2.7 million gain on January 1, 2002.
During the second quarter of 2002 the Company completed the process of
making the determinations as to what its reporting units are and what
amounts of goodwill, intangible assets, other assets and liabilities
should be allocated to those reporting units as of January 1, 2002. The
reporting units were the 27 separate regulated utility subsidiaries
(including the five New England subsidiaries that were sold on April 25,
2002) and unregulated services reporting units at American Water Resources
and American Water Services. The Company's carrying value of goodwill at
January 1, 2002 was $139.2 million, of which $23.4 million is assigned to
various regulated subsidiaries and $115.8 million is assigned to American
Water Services. Intangible assets with an assigned value of $23.4 million
were management contracts at American Water Services that have a finite
life.
A transitional impairment test for goodwill as of January 1, 2002 was
completed by the Company in the second quarter of 2002. Income and market
approaches were used for reporting unit valuations. The methodologies
used to implement the market approach were the market multiples
methodology, which results in an indication of value by comparing the
business being valued to guideline publicly traded companies, and the
similar transactions methodology, which develops an indication of value
based on prices paid for comparable business. The methodology used to
implement the income approach was the capitalized income approach that
bases the value of an asset on the future cash flows attributable to that
asset. Based on these approaches the Company determined that goodwill is
not currently impaired. The Company will perform required annual
impairment tests in the fourth quarter after the long-term planning
process has been completed.
The Company is no longer recording $1.7 million of annual tax deductible
amortization relating to the goodwill associated with the 1999 acquisition
of its joint venture partner's interest in AmericanAnglian Environmental
Technologies. The remainder of the goodwill and intangible assets at
January 1, 2002 were not being amortized because they are related to
business combinations completed after the July 1, 2001 effective date of
SFAS 141 or the goodwill was related to acquisitions that occurred prior
to October 31, 1970 that was not being amortized because in the opinion of
management there had been no diminution in value. The following table
reflects consolidated results adjusted as though the adoption of the
Standards occurred as of the beginning of the three and six-month periods

In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," (SFAS 143) on the accounting for obligations
associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. SFAS 143 requires a
liability to be recognized in the financial statements for retirement
obligations meeting specific criteria. Measurement of the initial
obligation is to approximate fair value with an equivalent amount recorded
as an increase in the value of the capitalized asset. The asset will be
depreciable in accordance with normal depreciation policy and the
liability will be increased, with a charge to the income statement, until
the obligation is settled. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the
effects that adoption of the provisions of SFAS 143 will have on its
results of operations and financial position but does not expect them to
be material.
In August of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," (SFAS 144) that replaces
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of." SFAS 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens discontinued operations to
include more disposal transactions. Under SFAS 144, operating losses of
discontinued operations are recognized in the period in which they occur,
instead of accruing future operating losses before they occur. The
effects of adoption of the provisions of SFAS 144 by the Company on
January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on its results of
operations and financial position.
In April of 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, "Recession of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections (SFAS 145)." SFAS 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies
existing accounting pronouncements. The Company does not expect the
adoption of the provisions of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on its
results of operations and financial position.
In June of 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting For Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task force (EITF) Issue
No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)." The principal difference between SFAS 146 and Issue 94-3
relates to its requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost
associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability
for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to
an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that
are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating
the effects that adoption of the provisions of SFAS 146 will have on its
results of operations and financial position but does not expect them to
be material.
PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
The operating results of the Azurix North American Corp. and Azurix
Industrials Corp. (Azurix), and the water and wastewater assets of
Citizens Communications Company (Citizens) acquisitions have been included
in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income since
the completion of the acquisitions on November 7, 2001 and January 15,
2002, respectively.
Consolidated revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2002
were higher than for the same periods of 2001 by 17% and 19%,
respectively. These increases reflect the additional revenues from the
Company's Azurix and Citizens acquisitions, that were partially offset by
the sale of the New England subsidiaries on April 25, 2002.
Approximately $44 million and $80 million of the overall revenue increase
in the second quarter and first six months in 2002 occurred in the
unregulated services segment, reflecting the November 2001 acquisition of
Azurix. The portion of the Company's overall revenue from its unregulated
businesses grew from 3% during the second quarter of 2001 to 13% during
the second quarter of 2002.
Regulated business revenues increased by 5% and 7% for the second quarter
and first six months of 2002 compared to the same periods in 2001. The
primary reason for the increase in revenue generated by the regulated
businesses during the second quarter of 2002 was the addition of $32
million in revenue from the Citizens acquisition. The Citizens acquisition
added revenues of $53 million during the first six months of 2002.
During the first six months of 2002, four utility subsidiaries received
rate orders that are expected to provide $26.3 million in additional
annual revenues. The largest of these rate increases was a $24 million
annual rate increase authorization in Pennsylvania that became effective
in January of 2002. Three of the Company's subsidiaries have rate
increase applications on file requesting additional annual revenues of
$19.6 million. The $12.7 million request by the Company's Indiana
subsidiary accounts for the major portion of the pending requests.
The addition of almost 300,000 customers from the Citizens acquisition
resulted in increases of 6% and 5% in total water sales in the second
quarter and six months over the same periods in 2001. Even though
revenues and sales increased between the second quarter and first six
months of 2001 and the same periods in 2002, per customer water sales,
excluding the Citizens acquisition, were less than prior year amounts.
These decreases are mainly a result of weather patterns and the economy.
Mandated restrictions on water use due to drought conditions in New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, and unusually high rainfall in the Midwest and
Southeast, were the primary causes for water use reductions for
residential and small business customers.
In addition, industrial water use continued on a decline that began in
late 2001. Industrial sales for the second quarter and first six months
were down 8% and 9%, or 900 million gallons and 1.8 billion gallons,
compared to the same periods in 2001. Present economic conditions
continue to put pressure on these large customers, forcing curtailments or
closing of operations.
Operating expenses in the second quarter and the first six months of 2002
were 33% and 32% higher than the same periods in 2001. The inclusion of
the operating expenses related to the Azurix and Citizens operations
during the second quarter and first six months of 2002 significantly
increased total expenses as these acquisitions were not part of the
company's consolidated financial information during the same periods last
year. Approximately $60 million of the $62 million increase in operation
and maintenance expenses (O&M) and $73 million of the $78 million increase
in total operating expenses experienced by the Company during the second
quarter of 2002 over the second quarter of 2001 resulted from the addition
of expenses from Azurix and Citizens.
Included in these expenses are costs to integrate the businesses,
particularly the Azurix operations into existing operations. These costs
will continue throughout the year as the Company continues to transition
systems and locations.
On a per customer basis, regulated operations experienced a 2% increase in
O&M expenses in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the second quarter
of 2001, reflecting the beginning of the realization of the synergies with
the Citizens acquisition. Per customer O&M expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 had increased by 4% over the first six months in 2001.
During the remainder of the year the Company anticipates O&M per customer
expense savings will continue to materialize as projects to consolidate
certain business functions are completed. However, it should be noted that
expenses will be negatively impacted by anticipated increases in pension
and insurance costs reflecting external market dynamics.
The increases in depreciation expense for the second quarter and first six
months were related to the Company's ongoing program of utility plant
construction.
Interest expense rose by $8.5 million in the second quarter and $17.3
million in the first six months of 2002 compared to the same periods in
2001. This increase is attributable to approximately $1.2 billion of new
debt associated with the Azurix and Citizens acquisitions.
Income taxes increased in the second quarter and first six months of 2002
when compared to the second quarter and first six months in 2001
reflecting increased earnings due to the sale of operating systems,
investments and land. The Company's effective income tax rate for the six
months ended June 30 increased to 48.4% in 2002 from 39.5% in 2001,
reflecting the relatively low tax basis in the stock of the New England
subsidiaries that was sold in 2002 and $1.7 million of expenses incurred
in 2002 in connection with the pending merger with RWE Aktiengesellschaft
for which it is not probable that the Company will receive a tax
deduction.
Net income to common stock was $66.7 million for the second quarter of
2002 compared with $49.2 million for the same period in 2001. Net income
to common stock for the first six months of 2002 was $84.4 million
compared with $72.6 million for the same period in 2001.
Other comprehensive income, net of tax, was $1 million in the second
quarter of 2002 compared to a $4.5 million loss in the same period in
2001. Other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $1.2 million and $6.5
million in the first six months of 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
Company's other comprehensive income or loss represents the after-tax
unrealized gain or loss on passive investments in publicly traded
securities and foreign currency translation adjustments.
Comprehensive income increased to $67.7 million and $83.2 million in the
second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively, compared to
comprehensive income of $44.7 million and $66.0 million in the same
periods in 2001.
Diluted earnings per share of common stock in the second quarter of 2002
were $.66 compared to $.50 in the same period in 2001. These 2002 results
include a 19-cent per share positive impact associated with the sale of
the Company's New England operations, a 14-cent positive impact from the
sale of other investments in ITC Holding Company stock, a seven-cent
negative impact from the permanent write-down of other investments that
were part of non-water investments included in the Company's 1999
acquisition of National Enterprises Inc. (NEI), a ten-cent positive impact
resulting from sales of land and expenses of one-cent per share related to
the RWE merger. Diluted earnings per share of common stock in the first
six months of 2002 were $.84 compared to $.73 in the same period in 2001.
These 2002 results include a three-cent per share positive impact of
adopting the new financial accounting standards relating to business
combinations, a 19-cent per share positive impact associated with the sale
of the Company's New England operations, a 14-cent positive impact from
the sale of other investments in ITC Holding Company stock, a seven-cent
negative impact from the permanent write-down of other investments that
were part of non-water investments included in the Company's 1999
acquisition of NEI, a ten-cent positive impact resulting from sales of
land and expenses of two-cents per share related to the RWE merger.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
-------------------------------
On January 14, 2002 the Company's financing subsidiary, American Water
Capital Corp.(AWCC) closed on its second and final issue totaling $900
million under its November 6, 2001 Note Purchase Agreement with RWE.
These 4.92% notes were primarily used to fund the acquisition of the
Citizens water and wastewater assets. On June 12, 2002 the Company and
AWCC executed another Note Purchase Agreement with RWE for up to $320
million in senior unsecured notes. The agreement allows AWCC to issue up
to $170 million in notes at an interest of 5.65% and $150 million in notes
at a floating interest rate based on LIBOR rates plus 20 basis points.
Closing occurred on $40 million of the 5.65% senior notes on June 12, 2002
and the Company expects closing of the remaining $130 million of 5.65%
notes to occur in the fourth quarter of 2002. The 5.65% notes and
floating rate notes are due on June 12, 2007 and June 26, 2003,
respectively. These notes will be primarily used to repay short-term
debt.
On July 31, 2002 AWCC extended for one year its current 364-day $500
million revolving credit agreement with a group of eleven domestic and
international banks. The revolving credit agreement supports AWCC's
commercial paper program.
Two subsidiaries issued $39.9 million in tax-exempt long-term debt during
the first six months of 2002.
In the first six months of 2002, the Company invested $19.5 million in the
common stock of three subsidiaries.
A condition of the merger agreement with RWE required the Company to
redeem all of its issued and outstanding shares of 5% Cumulative
Preference Stock and 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock prior to closing. That
redemption was completed on March 1, 2002. The 365,158 shares of 5%
Cumulative Preference Stock were redeemed for $25.00 per share and the
101,777 shares of 5% Cumulative Preferred Stock were redeemed for $25.25
per share, in each case without interest.
On April 2, 2002 the Company tendered approximately 2.2 million shares of
its 3.5 million shares of ITC Holding Company (ITC) common stock. The
Company tendered the shares as part of ITC's program to repurchase its own
stock. The Company acquired this stock with the 1999 acquisition of
National Enterprises Inc. (NEI) as it was part of NEI's non-water related
investments. The sale resulted in proceeds of $26.2 million, and a $14
million after-tax gain which was reflected in second quarter 2002 results.
This cash gain was offset by a $10.8 million non-cash loss, $6.7 million
after tax, that was also recorded during the second quarter when the
Company determined that the value of two other securities acquired as part
of the NEI acquisition had become permanently impaired. The Company
continues to review all reasonable options regarding the remaining
securities that include 1.3 million shares of Deutsche Telekom and 1.3
million shares of ITC acquired as part of the NEI acquisition.
The value of the Company's pension plan assets decreased to $339.3 million
at June 30, 2002 from $365.9 million at December 31, 2001, reflecting
negative equity returns. Negative investment returns will increase the
Company's pension expense and plan contributions in the future.
New Accounting Standards
------------------------
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS
141) and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142),
collectively referred to as the "Standards." SFAS 141 supersedes
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 16, "Business Combinations."
The provisions of SFAS 141 (1) require that the purchase method of
accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30,
2001, (2) provided specific criteria for the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill, and (3) require that
unamortized negative goodwill be written off immediately as an
extraordinary gain instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS 141 also
requires that upon adoption of SFAS 142 the Company reclassify the
carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of goodwill,
based on certain criteria. SFAS 142 supersedes APB 17, "Intangible
Assets," and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2001. SFAS 142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and
intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions
of SFAS 142 (1) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets, (2) require that goodwill and indefinite-lived
intangible assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim
periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of
goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired), (3)
require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing
potential future impairments of goodwill, and (4) remove the forty-year
limitation on the amortization period of intangible assets that have
finite lives. The Company adopted the provisions of the Standards on
January 1, 2002.
The Standards require the excess of the fair values of acquired net assets
over cost recorded in the statement of financial position to be recognized
as the effect of a change in accounting principle as of the date SFAS 141
is initially applied in its entirety. In compliance with this transition
requirement the Company recognized a $2.7 million gain on January 1, 2002.
During the second quarter of 2002 the Company completed the process of
making the determinations as to what its reporting units are and what
amounts of goodwill, intangible assets, other assets and liabilities
should be allocated to those reporting units as of January 1, 2002. The
reporting units were the 27 separate regulated utility subsidiaries
(including the five New England subsidiaries that were sold on April 25,
2002) and unregulated services reporting units at American Water Resources
and American Water Services. The Company's carrying value of goodwill at
January 1, 2002 was $139.2 million, of which $23.4 million is assigned to
various regulated subsidiaries and $115.8 million is assigned to American
Water Services. Intangible assets with an assigned value of $23.4 million
were management contracts at American Water Services that have a finite
life.
A transitional impairment test for goodwill as of January 1, 2002 was
completed by the Company in the second quarter of 2002. Income and market
approaches were used for reporting unit valuations. The methodologies
used to implement the market approach were the market multiples
methodology, which results in an indication of value by comparing the
business being valued to guideline publicly traded companies, and the
similar transactions methodology, which develops an indication of value
based on prices paid for comparable business. The methodology used to
implement the income approach was the capitalized income approach that
bases the value of an asset on the future cash flows attributable to that
asset. Based on these approaches it was determined that goodwill is not
currently impaired. The Company will perform required annual impairment
tests in the fourth quarter after the long-term planning process has been
completed.
The Company is no longer recording $1.7 million of annual tax deductible
amortization relating to the goodwill associated with the 1999 acquisition
of its joint venture partner's interest in AmericanAnglian Environmental
Technologies. The remainder of the goodwill and intangible assets at
January 1, 2002 were not being amortized because they are related to
business combinations completed after the July 1, 2001 effective date of
SFAS 141 or the goodwill was related to acquisitions that occurred prior
to October 31, 1970 that was not being amortized because in the opinion of
management there had been no diminution in value. The following table
reflects consolidated results adjusted as though the adoption of the
Standards occurred as of the beginning of the three and six-month periods

In June of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," (SFAS 143) on the accounting for obligations
associated with the retirement of long-lived assets. SFAS 143 requires a
liability to be recognized in the financial statements for retirement
obligations meeting specific criteria. Measurement of the initial
obligation is to approximate fair value with an equivalent amount recorded
as an increase in the value of the capitalized asset. The asset will be
depreciable in accordance with normal depreciation policy and the
liability will be increased, with a charge to the income statement, until
the obligation is settled. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating the
effects that adoption of the provisions of SFAS 143 will have on its
results of operations and financial position but does not expect them to
be material.
In August of 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," (SFAS 144) that replaces
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of." SFAS 144 requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived
assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens discontinued operations to
include more disposal transactions. Under SFAS 144, operating losses of
discontinued operations are recognized in the period in which they occur,
instead of accruing future operating losses before they occur. The
effects of adoption of the provisions of SFAS 144 by the Company on
January 1, 2002 did not have a material effect on its results of
operations and financial position.
In April of 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, "Recession of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical
Corrections (SFAS 145)." SFAS 145 updates, clarifies and simplifies
existing accounting pronouncements. The Company does not expect the
adoption of the provisions of SFAS 145 to have a material effect on its
results of operations and financial position.
In June of 2002 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting For Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities," (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 addresses
financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task force (EITF) Issue
No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits
and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a
Restructuring)." The principal difference between SFAS 146 and Issue 94-3
relates to its requirements for recognition of a liability for a cost
associated with an exit or disposal activity. SFAS 146 requires that a
liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability
for an exit cost was recognized at the date of an entity's commitment to
an exit plan. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that
are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company is currently evaluating
the effects that adoption of the provisions of SFAS 146 will have on its
results of operations and financial position but does not expect them to
be material.
