2013 Massachusetts: On July 24, 2013, Massachusetts enacted a law that changes the income tax rate applicable to utility companies effective January 1, 2014, from 6.5 percent to 8 percent. The tax law change required NU to remeasure its deferred taxes and resulted in NU increasing its deferred tax liability with an offsetting regulatory asset of approximately $61 million at its utility companies ($46.4 million at NSTAR Electric and $9.8 million at WMECO). 2013 Federal: On September 13, 2013, the Internal Revenue Service issued final Tangible Property regulations. The final regulations are meant to simplify, clarify and make more administrable the previously issued temporary and proposed regulations. In the third quarter of 2013, CL&P recorded an after-tax valuation allowance of $10.5 million against its deferred tax assets as a result of these regulations. NU continues to evaluate the implications of these new regulations, including several new elections. Therefore, a change to the valuation allowance at CL&P could result once NU completes the review of the impact of the final regulations. | ||

At the same time, effective September 6, 2013, the CL&P $300 million revolving credit facility was terminated. On September 6, 2013, NSTAR Electric amended its five-year $450 million revolving credit facility dated July 25, 2012 by extending the expiration date from July 25, 2017 to September 6, 2018. On September 6, 2013, the NU parent $1.15 billion commercial paper program was increased by $300 million to $1.45 billion. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, NU had approximately $1.2 billion and $1.15 billion, respectively, in short-term borrowings outstanding under the NU parent commercial paper program, which provides $263 million of available borrowing capacity as of September 30, 2013. The weighted-average interest rate on these borrowings as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 0.268 percent and 0.46 percent, respectively, which is generally based on money market rates. As of September 30, 2013, there were intercompany loans from NU of $342.9 million to CL&P, $228.5 million to PSNH and $79.8 million to WMECO. As of December 31, 2012, there were intercompany loans from NU of $405.1 million to CL&P, $63.3 million to PSNH, and $31.9 million to WMECO.

Description Of Working Capital
DescriptionOfWorkingCapital
|
Working Capital: NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO use their available capital resources to fund their respective construction expenditures, meet debt requirements, pay operating costs, including storm-related costs, pay dividends and fund other corporate obligations, such as pension contributions. The current growth in NU’s transmission construction expenditures utilizes a significant amount of cash for projects that have a long-term return on investment and recovery period. In addition, NU’s Regulated companies operate in an environment where recovery of its electric and natural gas distribution construction expenditures takes place over an extended period of time. This impacts the timing of the revenue stream designed to fully recover the total investment plus a return on the equity portion of the cost and related financing costs. These factors have resulted in current liabilities exceeding current assets by approximately $1.4 billion, $392 million, $315 million, $114 million and $11 million at NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO, respectively, as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $577 million of NU's current liabilities related to long-term debt that will be paid in the next 12 months, primarily consisting of $150 million for CL&P, $302 million for NSTAR Electric and $50 million for PSNH. NU, with its strong credit ratings, has several options available in the financial markets to repay or refinance these maturities with the issuance of new long-term debt. NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO will reduce their short-term borrowings with cash received from operating cash flows and/or with the issuance of new long-term debt, as deemed appropriate given capital requirements and maintenance of NU's credit rating and profile. Management expects the future operating cash flows of NU, CL&P, NSTAR Electric, PSNH and WMECO along with the access to financial markets, will be sufficient to meet any future operating requirements and forecasted capital investment opportunities. | ||
