“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private
            Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
  This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its
  Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause
  actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
  forward-looking statements are: the economic climate and growth in, or contraction within, our service territory and changes in market demand and demographic
  patterns, inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends, volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability of capital on reasonable
  terms and developments impairing our ability to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt at attractive rates, the availability and cost of funds to
  finance working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material,
  electric load, customer growth and the impact of retail competition, weather conditions, including storms, and our ability to recover significant storm restoration
  costs through applicable rate mechanisms, available sources and costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers
  and transporters, availability of necessary generating capacity and the performance of our generating plants, our ability to recover I&M’s Donald C. Cook Nuclear
  Plant Unit 1 restoration costs through warranty, insurance and the regulatory process, our ability to recover regulatory assets and stranded costs in connection with
  deregulation, our ability to recover increases in fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates, our ability to build or acquire generating
  capacity, including the Turk Plant, and transmission line facilities (including our ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at
  acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs (including the costs of projects that are cancelled) through applicable rate cases or competitive rates, new
  legislation, litigation and government regulation including requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and
  other substances or additional regulation of fly ash and similar combustion products that could impact the continued operation and cost recovery of our plants,
  timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions (including rate or other recovery of new investments in
  generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance), resolution of litigation (including the dispute with Bank of America), our ability to
  constrain operation and maintenance costs, our ability to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity, natural gas and other
  energy-related commodities, changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom we have contractual arrangements, including participants in the
  energy trading market, actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of debt, volatility and changes in markets for electricity, natural gas, coal,
  nuclear fuel and other energy-related commodities, changes in utility regulation, including the implementation of ESPs and related regulation in Ohio and the
  allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including PJM and SPP, accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-
  setting bodies, the impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by our pension, other postretirement benefit plans and nuclear
  decommissioning trust and the impact on future funding requirements, prices and demand for power that we generate and sell at wholesale, changes in
  technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation, other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of
  terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes and other catastrophic events and our ability to recover through rates the remaining unrecovered
  investment, if any, in generating units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives.

AEP Q4 2010 Earnings Presentation

  • 2. “Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: the economic climate and growth in, or contraction within, our service territory and changes in market demand and demographic patterns, inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends, volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability of capital on reasonable terms and developments impairing our ability to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt at attractive rates, the availability and cost of funds to finance working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material, electric load, customer growth and the impact of retail competition, weather conditions, including storms, and our ability to recover significant storm restoration costs through applicable rate mechanisms, available sources and costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers and transporters, availability of necessary generating capacity and the performance of our generating plants, our ability to recover I&M’s Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 restoration costs through warranty, insurance and the regulatory process, our ability to recover regulatory assets and stranded costs in connection with deregulation, our ability to recover increases in fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates, our ability to build or acquire generating capacity, including the Turk Plant, and transmission line facilities (including our ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs (including the costs of projects that are cancelled) through applicable rate cases or competitive rates, new legislation, litigation and government regulation including requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and other substances or additional regulation of fly ash and similar combustion products that could impact the continued operation and cost recovery of our plants, timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions (including rate or other recovery of new investments in generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance), resolution of litigation (including the dispute with Bank of America), our ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs, our ability to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related commodities, changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom we have contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market, actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of debt, volatility and changes in markets for electricity, natural gas, coal, nuclear fuel and other energy-related commodities, changes in utility regulation, including the implementation of ESPs and related regulation in Ohio and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including PJM and SPP, accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard- setting bodies, the impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by our pension, other postretirement benefit plans and nuclear decommissioning trust and the impact on future funding requirements, prices and demand for power that we generate and sell at wholesale, changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation, other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes and other catastrophic events and our ability to recover through rates the remaining unrecovered investment, if any, in generating units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives.
