This
report contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations and we assume no obligation to update these statements. Because actual results may
differ materially from expectations, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on these statements. A number of
factors could cause future results to differ materially from historical results, or from results or outcomes currently expected or sought by us. These factors include the
ongoing restructuring of the electric industry, including the introduction of retail electric competition in Arizona and APS’ October 2001 ACC filing; the outcome of regulatory and legislative proceedings relating to the restructuring; state and federal regulatory and legislative decisions and actions, including the price mitigation plan adopted by
the FERC in June 2001; regional economic and market conditions, including the California energy situation and completion of generation construction in the region,
which could affect customer growth and the cost of power
supplies; the cost of debt and equity capital; weather variations affecting local and regional customer energy usage; conservation programs; power plant performance; the
successful completion of our generation expansion program; regulatory issues associated with generation expansion, such as permitting and licensing; our ability to compete successfully outside traditional regulated markets (including the wholesale market); technological developments in the
electric industry; and the strength of the real estate market in SunCor’s market areas, which include Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.
These factors and the other matters discussed above may cause future results to differ materially from historical results, or from results or outcomes we currently expect or seek.
