(1) NUG contracts are subject to regulatory accounting and their amortization does not impact earnings.
(2) A gross amount of $40 million ($29 million, net) of the coal contracts is related to FES. The 2014 and estimated 2015 to 2019 amortization
expense for FES is $5.7 million annually.
(3) A gross amount of $102 million ($41 million, net) of the coal contracts was recorded with a regulatory offset and the amortization does not
impact earnings. Accordingly, the amortization expense for these coal contracts is excluded from table above.
FES acquired certain customer contract rights which were capitalized as intangible assets. These rights allow FES to supply electric
generation to customers, and the recorded value is being amortized ratably over the term of the related contracts.
