Preparation of this Actuarial Valuation
As of January 1, 2004 for PacifiCorp Retirement Plan
This report has been prepared for PacifiCorp and summarizes the results of the funding valuation for the
plan year and the accounting and reporting requirements for the 2005 fiscal year for pension benefits as
set forth in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 87 as amended (II SFAS No. 87") and
No. 88 as amended (IISFAS No. 88"). In addition, this material is intended to serve as a source document
for information to meet certain accounting or government filing requirements. Determinations for
purposes other than the funding valuation and financial accounting requirements may be significantly
different from the results reported herein. Thus, the use of this report for purposes other than those
expressed here may not be appropriate.
In conducting the valuation, we have relied on personnel, plan design, and asset infoffi1ation supplied by
PacifiCorp as of the valuation date. While we cannot verify the accuracy of all this infoffi1ation, the
supplied information was reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. As a result of this review, we
have no reason to doubt the substantial accuracy or completeness of the information and believe that it
has produced appropriate results.
This valuation has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted actuarial principles and
practices, including the applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice as issued by the Actuarial Standards
Board. In addition, the valuation results are based on our understanding of the applicable laws and
regulations under IRC sections 404 and 412, and our understanding of the requirements of SFAS Nos.
87 and 88. The accounting information in this report is not intended to supersede or supplant the advice
and interpretations of the Company s auditors.
The actuarial assumptions and methods used in this valuation are described in the Actuarial
Assumptions section of this report.
For the funding valuation, the interest rate and mortality table used to measure current liability
are prescribed by IRC section 412. It is our belief that all other actuarial assumptions used for
the funding valuation represent reasonable expectations of anticipated plan experience.
PacifiCorp selected the economic assumptions and prescribed them for use for purposes of
compliance with SF AS No. 87 and SF AS No. 88. While the demographic assumptions were also
prescribed by PacifiCorp, Hewitt Associates provided guidance with respect to these
assumptions and it is our belief that they represent reasonable expectations of anticipated plan
experIence.
The undersigned are familiar with the near-term and long-term aspects of pension valuations and meet
the Qualification Standards of the American Academy of Actuaries necessary to render the actuarial
opinions contained herein. All of the sections of this report are considered an integral part of the
actuarial opinions.

Current Liability
Current liability equals the present value of all accrued benefits, measured using an interest rate that
satisfies two requirements:
. The interest rate lies within the permissible range, and
The interest rate reflects annuity purchase rates that would be used by insurance companies
satisfy the liabilities of the plan upon termination.
The Internal Revenue Service has stated in IRS Notice 90-11 that the second requirement will be
deemed to be satisfied (until the Service provides further guidance) if the interest rate lies within the
permissible range.
The Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 changed the permissible range for 2004 and 2005 so it is
now expressed in terms of a percentage of the four-year weighted average of corporate bond rates.
The pennissible range for RP A '94 current liability calculations (the Retirement Protection Act of
1994) is shown below:

Accrued Benefit Values
This section presents the results of a separate valuation of the plan s obligations based only on
benefits accrued as of the valuation date of January 1 2004. The focus of this valuation differs from
the calculation of ongoing funding requirements which anticipates benefits to be earned by future
service and salary increases. This accrued benefit valuation assumes an ongoing plan and, therefore
differs from a calculation of PBGC termination liabilities which would be based on the benefits and
assumptions appropriate for a terminating plan.
The American Academy of Actuaries, in Appendix I of the Actuarial Standards of Practice
Number 4, has provided recommended procedures for the calculation of the present value of vested
accrued benefits (Illustration 1) and the present value of accrued benefits (Illustration 2). The results
under both Illustrations include the sum of the present value of:
. All benefits expected to be paid to former participants and their beneficiaries; and
. Benefits expected to be paid at future dates to present active participants, based only on service and
pay prior to the date of calculation.
The present value of vested accrued benefits using Illustration 1 recognizes only the benefits in
which an active participant retains a right, independent of continuation of employment beyond the
calculation date. It does not include any additional benefits which might arise because of future death
or disability that would not become payable if the participant had terminated employment before the
occurrence of the death or disability.
The present value of all accrued benefits using Illustration 2 recognizes all accrued benefits expected
to become payable at future dates, including the accrued portion of disability and preretirement death
benefits. Thus, the accrued benefit of a nonvested participant is included in this calculation to the
extent it will become payable (Le., vested) upon the occurrence of a future event such as termination
death, disability, or retirement.
The accrued benefit used in these calculations is based on the personnel data supplied by the
company.

Contributions
Funding Standard Account
The minimum contribution is determined under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) by
maintaining a Funding Standard Account (FSA). The minimum contribution required is the amount
necessary to make the FSA credits for the plan year equal to the FSA charges for the plan year.
Contributions in excess of the minimum create a credit balance, which serves to reduce the minimum
contribution requirement for the subsequent plan year.
The FSA charges for the plan year are the sum of:
(1 )Normal cost;
(2)Amortization payments, representing amortization over 30-year periods for the initial unfunded
actuarial liability, and for increases in the unfunded actuarial liability caused by plan
amendments or the addition of new employee groups; over I a-year periods for the increases in
the unfunded actuarial liability due to changes in actuarial assumptions; and over 5-year
periods for increases in the unfunded actuarial liability resulting from actuarial losses;
(3)Interest on the above items; and
(4)An additional charge is applied for plans that are not sufficiently well-funded.
The FSA credits for the plan year are the sum of:
(5)Credit balance at the end of the prior plan year;
(6)Contributions made;
(7)Amortization payments, representing amortization over I a-year periods for decreases in the
unfunded actuarial liability due to changes in actuarial assumptions and over 5-year periods for
decreases in the unfunded actuarial liability resulting from actuarial gains; and
(8)Interest on the above items.
If the FSA credits are less than the FSA charges, a funding deficiency exists which is subject to an
initial nondeductible tax of 100/0 with additional penalties if not corrected within a specified time
frame.

Additional Funding Requirement for 2004 Plan Year
Beginning with the 1995 plan year, the Retirement Protection Act of 1994 modified the additional
funding charge that was introduced by the Pension Protection Act of 1987. This additional funding
charge applies only to underfunded plans. In general, this charge can vary from a 4 to a 12-year
amortization of the unfunded current liability, reduced by certain charges and credits in the funding
standard account. If applicable, the additional funding charge results in an increased minimum
required contribution.
The additional funding requirement eligibility test (Gateway Test) determines if the plan s minimum
contribution is subject to the additional charge for the plan year. For the 2004 plan year, the test
compares current liabiHty to the actuarial value of assets on January 1 , 2004. The gateway current
liability must be calculated using the 1983 Group Annuity Mortality table and the maximum
permissible interest rate, which is 6.550/0 for 2004.
If the gateway percentage (the ratio of assets to liabilities) is greater than 90%, then the plan is
exempt from the additional funding charge. If the gateway percentage is greater than 80% but less
than 900/0, then the plan may qualify for the "volatility rule exemption.To qualify, the plan must
have gateway percentages greater than 90% in two consecutive years out of the immediately prior
three years. For 2004, the gateway percentage is greater than 90%, and thus the plan is exempt from
the additional funding charge.

Funding Policy Contribution
Effective January 1 , 2001 , the company adopted a new funding policy. The policy defines the
contribution as of January 1 , 2001 to be the normal cost plus a five year amortization of the unfunded
actuarial liability .
In subsequent years, the difference between the actual unfunded actuarial liability and the expected
unfunded liability is amortized over five years. In addition, increases or decreases in the unfunded
actuarial liability as a result of changes in plan benefits, population coverages, assumptions, or
actuarial methods are amortized over five years. Finally, the funding policy contribution will be no
less than the minimum required contribution nor greater than the maximum deductible contribution.

Full Funding Limitation
The Full Funding Limitation (FFL) is defined in IRC Section 412(c)(7) as the ERISA full funding
limitation with a minimum equal to the RP A '94 full funding limitation.
The ERISA FFL is the excess, if any, of the actuarial accrued liability (projected to the end of the
year) over the lesser of the fair market value of assets and the actuarial value of assets. RPA '
requires the full funding limitation to be no smaller than the excess, if any, of 90% of the RP A '
current liability over the actuarial value of assets.
For determining the ERISA full funding limitation for the minimum required contribution, an
adjustment is made to reflect the Funding Standard Account Credit Balance, with interest to the end
of the year at the funding interest rate.

Experien ce
Determination of the Actuarial Loss (Gain) for Funding Purposes
If the experience of the plan had corresponded to that expected under the actuarial assumptions, the
plan would have had no actuarial loss (gain). However, for the plan year just ended, the actual
experience did vary from the assumptions used for the plan and the resulting actuarial loss (gain) is
determined as follows:

Analysis of Experience
There are two main sources of actuarial gain or loss during any year: liability experience and
investment experience. During 2003, the experience from all sources created a net actuarial gain of
$11 613,476. This gain was the result of an investment gain of$17 755,407 offset by a liability loss
of $6 141 931 .
The return during the 2003 plan year on the actuarial value of assets was 10.3%. The return during
the 2003 plan year on the market value of assets was 21.2%. The history of return on market value of
assets is shown on the following page.

Asset Return
The table below shows the actual and assumed rates of return on the market value of assets over the
past several years.
The rates of return have been developed by assuming benefits and expenses are paid uniformly
throughout the year and contributions made after the plan year are paid at the end of the year. The
rate should be used in analyzing trends in actuarial experience, but is not appropriate for comparisons
external to the actuarial report.
The rates of return prior to 1996 are taken from the January I , 1996 valuation report by the previous
actuary.

Accounting Information Under SFAS No.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 87 (Employers' Accounting for
Pensions) and Statement No. 88 (Employers' Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of
Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits) in December 1985.
The expense and disclosure portions of Statement No. 87 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1986. The balance sheet and non-U .S. plans portion of Statement No. 87 are effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15 , 1988. Statement No. 88 is effective upon adoption of
Statement No. 87.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and
Other Postretirement Benefits) was published in February 1998. Statement No. 132 amended the
disclosure requirements of F AS Statements No. 87 and 88. The disclosure requirements under
Statement No. 132 first became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15 , 1997.
Statement No. 132 was subsequently revised in December 2003. All but one of the new disclosure
requirements under Statement No. 132 (revised 2003) are effective for fiscal years ending after
December 15 2003. Disclosure of estimated future benefit payments is effective for fiscal years
ending after June 15, 2004.
PacifiCorp adopted the expense and disclosure portions of Statement No. 87 in 1987 based on a
December 31 measurement date. The next several pages contain the results determined under
Statement No. 87 , as amended by Statement No. 132, for footnote disclosure in the 2004 financial

Personnel Information
This section contains data on personnel submitted for the actuarial valuation. The information is
organized to be useful for a variety of purposes:
. Counts of plan participants and averages of age and service provide quick comparisons of the
differences from year to year in the employee group.
.. .
. The detailed information on personnel by age and service isolates the number of participants
eligible for specific employee benefits. For example, if participants with 15 or more years of,
service are to receive additional vacation, this distribution indicates the number of participants
currently eligible for additional vacation and the number potentially becoming eligible for
additional vacation in each of the next several years.
The actuarial valuation was based on personnel information from company records. The following
table shows the number of participants by category and the number of vested active participants:

Preretirement Death
Postponed Retirement
If death occurs before age 55, the vested participant's
spouse will be eligible to begin receiving a life annuity or
lump sum immediately or may defer payment until the time
the participant would have become age 55. If deferred to
age 55, the benefit amount will be equal to the amount the
spouse would have received if the participant had separated
from service on the date of death or on the actual date of
termination, if earlier, survived until age 55, and then died
with a 50% joint and survivor benefit in effect.
The spouse of a participant who dies while employed after
age 55 or after completing 30 years of service shall receive
a life annuity equal to the benefit which would have been
paid if the participant had retired on the day before his death
with a 50% joint and survivor benefit in effect. In the case
of death of a participant with 30 years of service before age
, 55, the participant is assumed to be age 55 in determining
the applicable early retirement reduction factors.
Preretirement death benefits of tenninated vested
participants are the same as those for active participants
except that the benefit is reduced for the cost of death
protection after the date of termination of employment.
Participants may elect out of this coverage at the time of

been fully discharged. The cost will then be:
The benefits paid from the plan
plus
administrative expenses
less
investment gains
plus
investment losses.
The actuarial process assigns pension costs to the current year by estimating, based on both current
and future service, the benefits to be paid to current plan participants. These estimates are determined
through an actuarial valuation which uses three basic elements to project payments from the plan:
. Benefit provisions of the plan.
. Data on the present work force, terminated vested, and retired employees.
. Certain predictions (actuarial assumptions) about the future as it applies to this work force.
Actuarial Assumptions
The first step in the actuarial process is to determine the magnitude of the pension liability by
determining the benefits expected to be paid. To determine how many employees will become
eligible for benefits, what benefits will be paid, and how long benefits wi11 be paid, it is necessary to
make some economic and demographic predictions (usua11y called actuarial assumptions) such as:
An assumed retirement age predicting when employees will begin to receive retirement benefits.
. A mortality rate predicting the number of employees who will die before retirement and the
duration of benefit payments after retirement.
. A withdrawal rate predicting the number of employees who will leave the work force before
retirement. (Sometimes certain kinds of withdrawal such as disabilities are predicted separately.
. If the benefits are based on compensation, an assumed rate of pay increases predicting employees
compensation in future years.

Actuarial Assumptions (continued)
These assumptions are applied to the data for each employee to predict the amount of benefits
expected to be paid each year in the future. The total future benefit payments in each year are then
discounted at a selected interest rate to determine the current amount which with future investment
return, wil1 be sufficient to pay the expected benefits as they become payable. The discounted
payments are usually called the present value of future benefits.

Actuarial Method
The actuarial method is the mathematical process which determines the contributions required to pay
for the present value of future benefits, by allocating costs to the years of an employee s career.
Some costs are allocated to future years in an employee s career (future service liability) and other
costs are allocated to past years (past service liability).

There is a fair amount of flexibility in this allocation of costs between future and past. Some methods
assign relatively little cost to past years in an employee s career, others assign a more significant
portion to the past. Al1 methods produce allocations of contributions which will accumulate to
amount sufficient to provide the benefits at retirement. However, the various methods produce
widely different al1ocation of contributions to past and future employment.

Actuarial Assumptions (continued)
Many actuarial methods are acceptable under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA) for calculating cash contributions. However, once an actuarial method has been selected
and filed for minimum funding purposes, a change in method may be made only if approved by the
Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate. The Secretary has granted automatic approval for some
changes in actuarial method.
Usual terminology refers to the future allocation as the present value offuture normal costs and the
past allocation as the accrued liability.
The portion of the accrued liability which is not covered by the assets of the plan is called the
unfunded accrued liability. The value of the assets used in the actuarial process under ERISA must
take into account fair market value, but this may be done in a way which eliminates much of the
short-term fluctuation of market value from one valuation to the next.

Actuarial Assumptions (continued)
The unfunded accrued liability must also be discharged, and this is done by an amortization payment.
The amortization payment is flexible, and may be increased or decreased within certain allowable
bounds. The sum of both the normal cost and the amortization payment is the current year s pension
cost.

Valuations to determine contributions to the ongoing plan use the Projected Unit Credit Cost
Method.
Under this actuarial method, the cost attributed to past service (past service liability or accrued
liability) is determined on the valuation date as the present value of the benefits actually earned
(accrued) as of that date. The unfunded accrued liability is the amount by which the accrued liability
exceeds the valuation assets.
The current year normal cost determined on the valuation date, is the amount required to fund the
benefit expected to be earned in the current year.
Because the value of the future service liability is not used in the calculation of normal cost, it is
often omitted from the actuarial report which may show only an a~crued liability.
The calculations for any disability, termination or death benefits take into consideration that the
entitlement to benefits may begin at various future times. Each age prior to retirement has associated
with it appropriate probabilities of disability, termination and death.
