For federal and state income tax purposes, the Company does not pay income taxes at the legal entity level; rather the current taxable income or loss of the Company is reported on the respective income tax returns of its members. As federal and state income taxes are a cost component in rates allowed by the FERC, these taxes are included in the regulatory-basis financial statements.

The difference between the adjusted depreciation expense and depreciation expense at an annual rate of 3.33% is deferred and tracked for ratemaking purposes. During the levelization period, the amount deferred for ratemaking purposes increased through year 10 and then was amortized into earnings over the remaining five years. At December 31, 2023, the end of the levelization period, the amount deferred for ratemaking purposes will be reduced to zero. The Company's method of recognizing depreciation expense for ratemaking purposes is considered a Phase-in Plan and, as a result, no regulatory asset is recorded under GAAP and is not reflected in those financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, the deferral period had concluded with a total deferral of $95.2 million. The five-year amortization period began in 2019, with cumulative amortization from 2019 to present of $76.1 million.

from a pipeline system and the amount of natural gas scheduled to be delivered or received at current market prices. We value these imbalances by applying the difference between the measured quantities of natural gas delivered to or received from our shippers and operators to the midpoint of the range of prices reported for Millennium - East Receipts citygate index price.

Failure to comply with these various health, safety and environmental laws and regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and potentially criminal enforcement measures, including citizen suits, which can include the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of injunctions or restrictions on operation.

On February 6, 2021, Ladder Creek acquired and began operating the Tekas Pipeline System, and on February 8, 2021, Ladder Creek submitted notice to the Commission of the transaction. As a result, in fiscal year 2021, Cimarron recorded the estimated retirement of approximately 15.6 million of Gas plant in service, 11.4 million of Accumulated provisions for depreciation, and 4.2 million of salvage value in Gas plant sold, as approved by FERC. Cimarron expects to record an additional retirement of the remaining actual Gas plant in service, Accumulated provisions for depreciation, and salvage value not yet retired, subject to approval by FERC.</span></div>

The principal differences from GAAP relate to the fact that these financial statements: (1) as permitted by FERC rules, contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP; (2) classify certain accounts differently on the Comparative Balance Sheet and Statement of Income; (3) do not reflect the new basis of accounting established as a result of a change in ownership which occurred in 2004 and 2011; (4) contain certain amounts deferred as regulatory assets or liabilities, which were recognized as income or expense for GAAP; (5) reflect income taxes consistent with the FERC USofA and FERC Policy Statements, which were not recorded for GAAP since Gulf South is a wholly owned subsidiary of a partnership; (6) typically reflect the gain or loss on the disposal of assets as a component of accumulated depreciation, not on the Statement of Income; and (7) recognize allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC) rather than capitalized interest as allowed under GAAP. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Subsequent events have been evaluated through April 13, 2023, the date these financial statements were available to be issued.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Use of Estimates</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the FERC requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the fair values of certain items.

Deferred income taxes are recognized for differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. Actual income taxes could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or results from the final review of tax returns by federal or state tax authorities. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reduced the maximum corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning January 1, 2018, which resulted in a regulatory liability of approximately $255.2 million being established for the portion of the reduction related to utility plant (Account 282), which also includes a gross-up calculation of $71.0 million that was offset to a regulatory asset (Account 182). The regulatory liability began amortizing to utility income effective January 1, 2018, over the life of the utility plant, which was estimated to be 34 years.

Gulf South also provides interruptible natural gas PAL services. Gulf South’s customers choose, based upon their particular needs, the applicable mix of services depending upon availability of pipeline and storage capacity, the price of services and the volume and timing of customer requirements. The maximum rates that may be charged by Gulf South are established through the FERC's cost-based rate-making process; however, rates actually charged by Gulf South may be less than those allowed by the FERC. Under the FERC regulations, certain revenues that Gulf South collects may be subject to possible refunds to its customers. Accordingly, during a rate case, estimated refund liabilities are recorded considering regulatory proceedings, advice of counsel and estimated risk-adjusted total exposure, as well as other factors. Gulf South's service contracts can range from one to twenty years although Gulf South may enter into shorter- or longer-term contracts, and services are invoiced monthly with payment from the customer generally expected within ten to thirty days, depending on the terms of the contract.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Firm Service Contracts</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">: Gulf South offers firm services to its customers.

The fixed fee is recognized ratably over the contract term, representative of the proportion of the committed stand-ready capacity obligation that has been fulfilled to date, and the usage fee is recognized upon satisfaction of each distinct monthly performance obligation, consistent with the allocation objective and based upon the level of effort required to satisfy the stand-ready obligation in a given month.

The case was filed on March 29, 2019. The lawsuit claims include, among other things, negligence, strict liability, nuisance and breach of contract, alleging that the defendants’ drilling, dredging, pipeline and industrial operations since the 1930s have caused increased storm surge risk, increased flood protection costs and unspecified damages to the City of New Orleans. In October 2020, this case was stayed pending the outcome of a consolidated appeal to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in a similar case. On August 5, 2021, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the oil-and-gas defendants in that consolidated appeal, finding that the two cases being appealed should be re-examined in federal district court since they involve operations that were federally overseen at the time. The ruling reverses a previous decision that allowed the cases to be heard in state court, which the plaintiffs had sought. As a result of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision, it is anticipated that this case will be reviewed in federal district court to determine whether the case should be heard in that court.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Gulf South and one other of Boardwalk Pipelines operating subsidiaries have been named as defendants in several suits in the State of Louisiana that are similar in nature to the City of New Orleans Litigation discussed above.

Under the CAA, Gulf South may be required to obtain pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce or significantly increase air emissions, obtain and strictly comply with stringent air permit requirements or utilize specific equipment or technologies to control emissions. The need to obtain permits has the potential to delay the development or expansion of Gulf South’s projects. Over the next several years, Gulf South may be required to incur certain capital expenditures for air pollution control equipment or other air emissions related issues. For example, in 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a final rule under the CAA, lowering the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ground-level ozone to 70 parts per billion under both the primary and secondary standards to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare, respectively. Since that time, the EPA issued area designations with respect to ground-level ozone, issued final requirements that apply to state, local and tribal air agencies for implementing the 2015 NAAQS for ground-level ozone and, on December 31, 2020, published notice of a final action to retain the 2015 ozone NAAQS without revision on a going-forward basis. However, several groups have filed litigation over this December 2020 final action. In October 2021, the EPA announced that it would reconsider the December 2020 determination to maintain the November 2015 NAAQS with a target date of year end 2023. A draft </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">assessment released in April 2022 indicates EPA staff have received a preliminary conclusion that the December 2020 decision will stand, but until a full review occurs and a final decision is released, the full extent of the impacts of any new standards are not clear. States are expected to implement more stringent regulations that could apply to Gulf South's operations. Compliance with any final decision could, among other things, require installation of new emission controls on some of Gulf South's equipment, result in longer permitting timelines and significantly increase its capital expenditures and operating costs. Additionally, the threat of climate change continues to attract considerable public, governmental and scientific attention. As a result, numerous proposals have been made and are likely to continue to be made at the international, national, regional, state and local levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). These efforts have included consideration of cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes, and GHG reporting and tracking programs, and regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources. The EPA has determined that GHG emissions endanger public health and the environment and, as a result, has adopted regulations under the CAA related to GHG emissions.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Commitments for Construction</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Gulf South’s future capital commitments are comprised of binding commitments under purchase orders for materials ordered but not received and firm commitments under binding construction service agreements.

As of December 31, 2022, the amount of gas owed to Gulf South due to gas imbalances and gas loaned under PAL and certain firm service agreements was approximately 3.15 trillion British thermal units (TBtu). Assuming an average market price during December 2022 of $5.33 per million British thermal unit (MMBtu), the market value of that gas was approximately $16.8 million. As of December 31, 2021, the amount of gas owed to Gulf South due to gas imbalances and gas loaned under PAL and certain firm service agreements was approximately 2.40 TBtu. Assuming an average market price during December 2021 of $3.59 per MMBtu, the market value of that gas was approximately $8.6 million. If any significant customer should have credit or financial problems resulting in a delay or failure to pay for services provided or repay the gas owed to Gulf South, it could have a material adverse effect on Gulf South’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Note 8: Related Party Transactions </span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:36pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Gulf South makes advances to or receives advances from Boardwalk Pipelines under the cash management program described in Note 2.

identified asset, the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset. After the criteria is satisfied, the Company accounts for these arrangements as leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and leased liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, including payments at commencement that depend on an index or rate. The Company’s office and office equipment leases in which the Company is the lessee do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, so an incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at the lease commencement date, is utilized to determine the present value of lease payments. When a secured borrowing rate is not readily available, unsecured borrowing rates are adjusted for the effects of collateral to determine the incremental borrowing rate. The Company uses the implicit rate for agreements in which it is a lessor. The Company has not entered into any material agreements in which it is a lessor. Lease expense and lease income are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for operating leases.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:24.75pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:24.75pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company’s lease agreements consist of equipment and real property, including an office facility and an office equipment.
