Furnish particulars as to any significant contingent assets or liabilities existing at the end of the year. Notes relating to financial statements shown elsewhere in this report may be indicated here by reference. 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES General Southern Company Services, Inc. (the "Company") follows the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for service companies, as amended, effective January 1, 1980. The Company has no earnings or retained earnings since it primarily renders services at cost to its parent company, The Southern Company, and other affiliates, as further discussed in Note 2. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which requires the use of estimates. The actual results may differ from those estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers temporary cash investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Income Taxes The Company is included in the consolidated federal income tax return with The Southern Company and its subsidiaries. Federal income tax deferrals primarily resulting from the use of accelerated depreciation are fully utilized and accounted for by the operating subsidiaries of The Southern Company. Property, Equipment, and Depreciation and Amortization Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided on the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset (ranging from 3 to 12 years). Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases. On retirement or sale of assets, the cost of such assets and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss, if any, is credited or charged to income.
