The most significant differences between GAAP and the comprehensive basis of accounting applied in these Financial Statements are the classification of certain accounts on the Comparative Balance Sheet, Statement of Income and Statement of Cash Flows.

Management evaluates its estimates and related assumptions regularly, including those related to fair value measurements of derivatives, useful lives of net utility plant, recognition of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) and certain valuations including recoverability of deferred tax assets, each as further discussed under the respective sections within this note. Changes in facts and circumstances or additional information may result in revised estimates, and actual results may differ from these estimates.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Fair Value Measurements</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Hierarchy Levels 1, 2 and 3 are terms for the priority of inputs to valuation approaches used to measure fair value. Hierarchy Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Hierarchy Level 2 inputs are inputs that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Hierarchy Level 3 inputs are inputs that are not observable in the market.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">In determining fair value, we use observable market data when available, or models that incorporate observable market data. In addition to market information, we incorporate transaction-specific details that, in management’s judgment, market participants would take into account in measuring fair value.

The foregoing amounts include 75,000 Dth/d of firm capacity over the remaining fixed term of a transportation services agreement with an associated company. Each of the third-party customers has the right to extend the term of its respective agreement for up to two consecutive five-year terms. </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The transaction price under our firm transportation services includes a fixed fee reserving the right to transport natural gas up to maximum contractually specified levels during the contract term, in which the customers have continuous access to such reservation levels and are obligated to pay the fixed fee regardless of the quantity actually transported, but have no ability to defer unused service capacity to future periods. Because we are continuously available to provide transportation service for the reserved capacity on a daily basis with the same pattern of transfer, we have concluded that we provide a single performance obligation to our customers on a continuous basis over time and recognize the take-or-pay fixed fee as revenue on an output method ratably over the period based on the passage of time, or, in limited instances where the reserved volume of capacity varies over the contractual term, based on the expiration of capacity rights. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate amount of transaction price associated with fixed fees for reserved capacity allocated to our unsatisfied performance obligations was approximately $556.3 million, including $51.1 million with an associated company, which we will recognize over the remaining terms of the respective firm transportation service agreements described above. </span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Additionally, under our firm transportation arrangements, customers pay incremental fees on a fee per-unit rate for quantities transported in excess of the reserved capacity during a given period. We may also enter into arrangements to provide transportation services to additional customers on a fee per-unit rate for the quantities actually transported. Such services are generally described as interruptible services, as the customer accepts the possibility that service may be interrupted at our discretion in order to provide services under reserved capacities. We stand ready to provide interruptible services with the same pattern of transfer to the customer, and we have concluded that we provide a single performance obligation to our customers under each respective arrangement </span></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">on a continuous basis over time. Additionally, we have concluded that the amount for which we have the right to invoice under our interruptible service contracts corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. As such, we have elected a practical expedient under which we recognize revenue each period in the amount for which we have the right to invoice.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Contract Balances</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Contract assets represent our right to consideration for transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a transportation service agreement when the associated consideration is not yet due.

Prior to construction, such costs associated with preliminary stage activities are capitalized to Accounts 183.1 and 183.2, Preliminary Survey and Investigation Charges (Gas).

The depreciation rate for our Transmission Plant assets is 2.5% as approved by the FERC. Generally, upon retirement or other disposition of net utility plant, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts, and the resulting difference after the consideration of any proceeds and any costs to remove, sell or dispose of the assets are recorded in Accounts 108, 111, 115, Accumulated Provision for Depreciation, Amortization and Depletion. If a retirement constitutes an extraordinary property loss by approval or order of the Commission, Account 182, Extraordinary Property Loss is charged. We do not recognize gains or losses on retirements of gas plant on the Statement of Income unless the asset is for land or gas plant constituting an operating unit or system (as approved by the FERC). </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Management tests net utility plant for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of net utility plant might not be recoverable. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets for purposes of assessing recoverability. Recoverability generally is determined by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. If the carrying value of the asset is not recoverable, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the excess, if any, of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset is adjusted. We did not record any impairments related to net utility plant during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.</span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (“AFUDC”)</span></div><div style="text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="text-align:justify;text-indent:27pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Arial',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">AFUDC represents the capitalized carrying cost of capital funds related to the construction of long-lived assets and is depreciated over future periods as part of the total cost of the related asset.

Raised on Rehearing and Setting Aside Prior Order in Docket No. AC 19-95-001 ("October 2020 Order"), revising its June 18, 2020 directive to Alliance to record all excess ADIT amounts as a regulatory liability on its books. The October 2020 Order requires Alliance to record excess ADIT only to the extent that Alliance concludes that such amounts are probable to be refunded in future rates. The October 2020 Order also directed Alliance to disclose the entire excess ADIT amount in its FERC Form No. 2, Notes to the Financial Statements. In light of changed circumstances resulting from new recourse rate agreements becoming effective November 2022, Alliance is recording a portion of the entire excess ADIT amount as a regulatory liability on Alliance's books.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div><table

We estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, considering current expected credit losses using a forward-looking “expected loss” model, the financial condition of our customers, and the age of past due accounts. The majority of our trade receivable balances are due within 30 days. We monitor the credit quality of our counterparties through review of collection trends, credit ratings, and other analyses, such as bankruptcy monitoring. Financial assets from our natural gas transmission business and gathering and transportation business are segregated into separate pools for evaluation due to different counterparty risks inherent in each business. Changes in counterparty risk factors could lead to reassessment of the composition of our financial assets as separate pools or the need for additional pools. We calculate our allowance for credit losses incorporating an aging method. In estimating our expected credit losses, we utilize historical loss rates over many years, which include periods of both high and low commodity prices. Commodity prices could have a significant impact on a portion of our gathering and processing counterparties’ financial health and ability to satisfy current liabilities. Our expected credit loss estimate considers both internal and external forward-looking commodity price expectations, as well as counterparty credit ratings, and factors impacting their near-term liquidity. In addition, our expected credit loss estimate considers potential contractual, physical, and commercial protections and outcomes in the case of a counterparty bankruptcy. The physical location and nature of our services help to mitigate collectability concerns of our gathering, processing, and transportation producer customers. Our gathering lines in many cases are physically connected to the customers’ wellheads and pads, and there may not be alternative gathering lines nearby. The construction of gathering systems is capital intensive and it would be costly for others to replicate, especially considering the depletion to date of the associated reserves. As a result, we play a critical role in getting customers’ production from the wellhead to a marketable condition and location.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">This tends to reduce collectability risk as our services enable producers to generate operating cash flows.

This results in gas transportation imbalance receivables and payables which are recovered or repaid in cash, based on market-based prices, or through the receipt or delivery of gas in the future. Imbalance receivables and payables are included in Miscellaneous Current and Accrued Assets and Other Current Liabilities in the Balance Sheets. Imbalance receivables which are recovered through receipt of gas in the future are valued based on the lower of the current market prices or weighted average cost of natural gas in the system. Imbalance payables are valued at current market prices. Settlement of imbalances requires agreement between the pipelines and shippers as to allocations of volumes to specific transportation contracts and the timing of delivery of gas based on operational conditions. Pursuant to a settlement with our shippers issued by the FERC on February 5, 2008, to streamline the process, if a cash-out refund is due and payable to a shipper during any year pursuant to our FERC Gas Tariff, shipper will be deemed to have immediately assigned its right to the refund amount to us.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The cash-out balance on December 31, 2024, is $1.2 million; it will be held in Miscellaneous Current and Accrued Liabilities until approved by the FERC.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:12pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The cash-out balance as of December 31, 2023, was $329,000 and filed with FERC on April 29, 2024.</span></div><div><span><br/></span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:112%">Property, Plant and Equipment</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-indent:-18pt"><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:400;line-height:112%">Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost.
