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 Pinnacle West or APS. In
addition to the Risk Factors described in Item 1A of the Pinnacle West/APS Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2008, these factors include, but are not limited to, state and federal regulatory and legislative decisions and actions, including the
outcome or timing of the pending rate case of APS; increases in our capital expenditures and operating costs and our ability to achieve timely
and adequate rate recovery of these increased costs; our ability to reduce capital expenditures and other costs while maintaining reliability and
customer service levels, and unexpected developments that would limit us from achieving all or some of our planned capital expenditure
reductions; volatile fuel and purchased power costs, including fluctuations in market prices for natural gas, coal, uranium and other fuels used
in our generating facilities, availability of supplies of such commodities, and our ability to recover the costs of such commodities; the outcome
and resulting costs of regulatory, legislative and judicial proceedings, both current and future, including those related to environmental
matters and climate change; the availability of sufficient water supplies to operate our generation facilities, including as the result of drought
conditions; the potential for additional restructuring of the electric industry, including decisions impacting wholesale competition and the
introduction of retail electric competition in Arizona; regional, national and international economic and market conditions, including the
strength of the housing, credit and financial markets; the potential adverse impact of current economic conditions on our results of operations;
the cost of debt and equity capital and access to capital markets; changes in the market price of our common stock; restrictions on dividends
or other burdensome provisions in new or existing credit agreements; our ability, or the ability of our subsidiaries, to meet debt service
obligations; current credit ratings remaining in effect for any given period of time; the performance of the stock market and the changing
interest rate environment, which affect the value of our nuclear decommissioning trust, pension, and other postretirement benefit plan assets,
the amount of required contributions to Pinnacle West’s pension plan and contributions to APS’ nuclear decommissioning trust funds, as well
as the reported costs of providing pension and other postretirement benefits and our ability to recover such costs; volatile market liquidity,
any deteriorating counterparty credit and the use of derivative contracts in our business (including the interpretation of the subjective and
complex accounting rules related to these contracts); changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the
interpretation of those principles and the impact of the adoption of new accounting standards; customer growth and energy usage; weather
variations affecting local and regional customer energy usage; power plant performance and outages; transmission outages and constraints;
the completion of generation and transmission construction in the region, which could affect customer growth and the cost of power supplies;
risks inherent in the operation of nuclear facilities, such as environmental, regulatory, health and financial risks, risk of terrorist attack, planned
and unplanned outages, and unfunded decommissioning costs; the ability of our power plant participants to meet contractual or other
obligations; technological developments in the electric industry; the results of litigation and other proceedings resulting from the California
and Pacific Northwest energy situations; the performance of Pinnacle West’s subsidiaries and any resulting effects on its cash flow; the
strength of the real estate market and economic and other conditions affecting the real estate market in SunCor’s market areas, which include
Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico and Utah; and other uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control
of Pinnacle West and APS.

As of December 31, 2008, Pinnacle West had accumulated net mark-to-market gains of $4 million related to our power marketing and trading
activities.
(a) Net effect on pretax gross margin from realization of prior-period mark-to-market included in line 51 and in
line 52 is zero. Realization of prior-period mark-to-market relates to cash flow recognition, not earnings
recognition. The arithmetic opposites of amounts included in line 51 are included in line 52. For example, line
52 shows that a prior-period mark-to-market loss of $4 million was transferred to “realized” for the total year
of 2008. A $4 million realized loss is included in the $17 million on line 51 for the total year of 2008.
(b) Quarterly amounts do not total to annual amounts because of intra-year mark-to-market eliminations.

(a) Net effect on pretax gross margin from realization of prior-period mark-to-market included in line 51 and in
line 52 is zero. Realization of prior-period mark-to-market relates to cash flow recognition, not earnings
recognition. The arithmetic opposites of amounts included in line 51 are included in line 52. For example, line
52 shows that a prior-period mark-to-market gain of $14 million was transferred to “realized” for the total year
2006. A $14 million realized gain is included in the $45 million on line 51 for the total year 2006.
(b) Quarterly amounts do not total to annual amounts because of intra-year mark-to-market eliminations.

Degree-Days — Cooling A measure of temperatures designed to indicate the amount of electricity demand for

between each day’s actual average temperature and a base temperature of 65°F for
the month. Average temperatures less than the base temperature are ignored.
Degree-Days — Heating A measure of temperatures designed to indicate the amount of electricity demand for
heating purposes. Heating degree-days are calculated by summing the difference
between each day’s actual average temperature and a base temperature of 65°F for
the month. Average temperatures greater than the base temperature are ignored.
Electricity and Other Commodity Sales, Realized Marketing and trading gross margin related to electricity and other commodities that
were delivered in the then-current period.

in prior periods for which the commodities were delivered in the current period.
Realization of prior-period mark-to-market relates to cash flow recognition, not
revenue recognition or earnings recognition, because in accordance with mark-to-
market accounting, the margin was already recorded in the prior period. A negative
amount shown in this category represents the arithmetic opposite of a gain
recognized in the period in which the commodities were delivered; an equal positive
amount is reflected in the realized revenue or margin for delivered commodities. A
positive amount shown in this category represents the arithmetic opposite of a loss
recognized in the period in which the commodities were delivered; an equal negative
amount is reflected in the realized revenue or margin for delivered commodities.
