Electric Peak Demand The electric peak demand in O&R’s service area occurs during the summer air conditioning season.
The weather during the summer of 2016 was cooler than design conditions.
O&R’s 2016 service area peak demand was 1,435 MW, which occurred on July 22, 2016.
The 2016 peak demand included an estimated 761 MW for O&R’s full- service customers and 674 MW for customers participating in its electric retail choice program.
“Design weather” for the electric system is a standard to which the actual peak demand is adjusted for evaluation and planning purposes.
Since the NYISO can invoke demand reduction programs under specific circumstances, design conditions do not include these programs’ potential impact.
However, the O&R forecasted peak demand at design conditions does include the impact of certain demand reduction programs.
The company estimates that, under design weather conditions, the 2017 service area peak demand will be 1,625 MW, including an estimated 861 MW for its full-service customers and 764 MW for its electric retail choice customers.
The company decreased its five-year forecast of average annual growth of the electric peak demand in its service area at design conditions from approximately 0.3 percent (for 2016 to 2020) to (0.1) percent (2017 to 2021) primarily due to a forecasted increase in distributed generation as well as lower growth in demand from customers.
Pike's peak demand is reflected in the company's service area peak demand amounts (see Note U to the financial statements in Item 8).
Electric Supply The electricity O&R sold to its full-service customers in 2016 was purchased under firm power contracts or through the wholesale electricity market.
The company expects that these resources will again be adequate to meet the requirements of its customers in 2017.
O&R does not own any electric generating capacity.
The company plans to meet its continuing obligation to supply electricity to its customers through a combination of electricity purchased under contracts or purchased through the wholesale electricity market.
To reduce the volatility of its customers’ electric energy costs, the company has contracts to purchase electric energy and enters into derivative transactions to hedge the costs of a portion of its expected purchases.
For information about the company’s contracts, see Note O to the financial statements in Item 8.
In general, the Utilities recover their purchased power costs, including the cost of hedging purchase prices, pursuant to rate provisions approved by the state public utility regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
See “Financial and Commodity Market Risks – Commodity Price Risk,” in Item 7 and “Recoverable Energy Costs” in Note A to the financial statements in Item 8.
From time to time, certain parties have petitioned the NYSPSC to review these provisions, the elimination of which could have a material adverse effect on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Gas Operations Gas Facilities O&R’s capitalized costs for utility plant, net of accumulated depreciation for gas facilities, which are primarily distribution facilities, were $536 million and $502 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Natural gas is delivered by pipeline to O&R at various points in or near its service territory and is distributed to customers by the company through an estimated 1,865 miles of mains and 104,748 service lines

We expect to incur additional charges of approximately $1.5 associated with the Deutsch and Lowe alignment in 2010 as we finish implementing our plans.

EXPENSES AND OTHER INCOME
## Table 1 ##
Net Interest Expense For 2009 as compared to 2008, cash interest expense, largely related to our short-term obligations, and interest income both decreased primarily due to lower interest rates, mostly in the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, and to a lesser extent, the United States.
The majority of the change in non-cash interest expense resulted from a decline in amortization of deferred warrant costs and debt issuance costs in connection with the expiration of our $750.0 Three-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of June 13, 2006 (the “2006 Credit Agreement”) in June 2009.
The decrease in non-cash interest expense was partially offset by changes in the value of obligations to purchase noncontrolling equity shares of consolidated subsidiaries.
The value of these obligations may fluctuate depending on projected future operating performance of these subsidiaries.
See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.
For 2008 as compared to 2007, cash interest expense decreased primarily due to the repurchase of the majority of the 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (the “4.50% Notes”) in the first quarter of 2008, lower interest rates paid on the Floating Rate Senior Unsecured Notes due 2010 (the “2010 Notes”), lower short-term debt balances and lower interest rates at our international agencies.
Interest income decreased due to more conservative investment strategies in the United States compared to the prior year and lower interest rates in the United States.
Other Income, net Results of operations include certain items which are either discrete or are not directly associated with our revenue producing operations.
## Table 2 ##
Net Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt – During 2009, we recorded a net charge of $25.1 related to the settlement of our tender offers for the 5.40% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2009 (the “2009 Notes”), 7.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2011 (the “2011 Notes”) and the 2010 Notes, the redemption of all of our outstanding 2009 Notes and the retirement of our 4.50% Notes.
During 2007, we recognized non-cash charges related to the extinguishment of $200.0 of our 4.50% Notes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
## Table 3 ##
(1) Does not include restricted cash balances Cash Flow from Operating Activities: Cash provided from operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in certain assets and liabilities.
For fiscal year 2010 we generated $223.0 million in cash flow from operations, an increase of $4.2 million when compared to the $218.8 million generated in fiscal year 2009.
During fiscal year 2010, net income increased by $42.3 million to $137.3 million when compared to fiscal year 2009.
Despite the increase in net income, net cash provided by operating activities remained relatively consistent.
This was primarily due to: ?
Fiscal year 2010 net income included a deferred tax expense of $38.5 million compared to a $24.9 million deferred tax benefit included in 2009 net income due to the release of the tax valuation allowance in fiscal year 2009.  ?
During fiscal year 2010, the Company invested in working capital as result of higher business activity.
Compared to fiscal year 2009, accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable increased by $60.9 million, $38.8 million and $42.9 million, respectively.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities: Cash flow from investing activities consists primarily of capital expenditures and acquisitions.
We had net cash outflows of $95.3 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to $49.5 million in fiscal year 2009.
The increase is primarily due to an increase of $49.8 million in capital expenditures.
We anticipate our capital spending to be consistent in fiscal year 2011 to maintain our projected growth rate.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities: Cash flows from financing activities consist primarily of cash transactions related to debt and equity.
During fiscal year 2010, we had net cash outflows of $38.6 million, compared to $30.2 million in fiscal year 2009.
During the year we had the following significant transactions: ?
We retired $53.0 million in aggregate principal amount (carrying value of $51.1 million) of 2007 Convertible Notes for $80.7 million, which included a $29.6 million premium paid for the equity component of the instrument.  ?
We received net proceeds from employee stock option exercises of $40.5 million in fiscal year 2010, compared to $38.7 million in fiscal year 2009.
