   1. (a) Exhibit A. The following schedules:

      1. (I) The financial statements and accompanying footnotes as they appear in the utility’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, for the most recent fiscal year ended prior to the filing of the application;
      2. (II) The financial statements and accompanying footnotes as they appear in the utility’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the filing of the application; and
      3. (III) Any amendments or changes to the financial information presented in the utility’s most recent Form 10-K and Form 10-Q as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which the utility has filed prior to the filing of the application.

      1. Balance Sheet. A balance sheet prepared as provided by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s Uniform System of Accounts showing the balance in each account at the close of the calendar year preceding the filing of the application, and also showing the balance in account at the end of the latest 12-month period available prior to the filing of the application.

      4. Retained Earnings. A statement of retained earnings as provided by the Uniform System of Accounts, and prepared in the same manner and for the same period as the income statement in paragraph (b) of this subsection.

      5. A statement of all known contingent liabilities except minor items involving relatively small amounts, as of the date of the application.

      6. A utility may, however, satisfy the requirements of Exhibit A by providing the following in lieu of the schedules listed in items 1. through 5. above:

2. (2) Where the utility has previously filed with the Commission the information to be contained in its application or in Exhibit A or B, and where the previous filing is current or up-to-date, the Commission will accept specific reference to that filing in lieu of a separate filing to meet the requirements of this rule.
