SCANA CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(Unaudited)

        The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in SCANA Corporation's (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. These are interim financial statements, and due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the year. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.    Basis of Accounting

        The Company accounts for its regulated utility operations, assets and liabilities in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS 71 requires cost-based rate-regulated utilities to recognize in their financial statements certain revenues and expenses in different time periods than do enterprises that are not rate-regulated. As a result, the Company has recorded as of June 30, 2004, approximately $368 million and $560 million of regulatory assets (including environmental) and liabilities, respectively. Information relating to regulatory assets and liabilities follows.

Millions of dollars	June 30, 2004			December 31, 2003
Accumulated deferred income taxes, net	$	109		$	110
Under- (over-) collections — electric fuel and gas cost adjustment clauses, net		(5	)		38
Deferred purchased power costs		26			—
Deferred environmental remediation costs		19			20
Asset retirement obligation — nuclear decommissioning		49			48
Deferred non-conventional fuel tax benefits, net		(82	)		(67	)
Storm damage reserve		(34	)		(37	)
Franchise agreements		60			62
Non-legal asset retirement obligations		(358	)		(346	)
Other		24			21
Total	$	(192	)	$	(151	)

        Accumulated deferred income tax liabilities arising from utility operations that have not been included in customer rates are recorded as a regulatory asset. Accumulated deferred income tax assets arising from deferred investment tax credits are recorded as a regulatory liability.

        Under (over) collections electric fuel and gas cost adjustment clauses, net represent amounts under or over-collected from customers pursuant to the fuel adjustment clause (electric customers) or gas cost adjustment clause (gas customers) as approved by the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (SCPSC) or North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) during annual hearings.

        Deferred purchased power costs—In April 2004 the SCPSC approved a stipulation agreement between the Consumer Advocate and SCE&G whereby SCE&G was allowed to defer for recovery in a future rate proceeding the portion of the purchased power costs not allowed to be recovered through

9

the fuel clause. In its rate application filed on July 1, 2004, SCE&G is seeking to recover these deferred purchased power costs through base rates using a three-year amortization schedule.

        Deferred environmental remediation costs represent costs associated with the assessment and clean-up of manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites currently or formerly owned by the Company. Costs incurred at sites owned by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) are being recovered through rates. Such costs, totaling approximately $9.4 million, are expected to be fully recovered by the end of 2009. A portion of the costs incurred at sites owned by Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated (PSNC Energy) has been recovered through rates, and management believes the remaining costs of approximately $6.8 million will be recoverable. Amounts incurred and deferred to date that are not currently being recovered through gas rates at PSNC Energy are approximately $2.5 million.

        Asset retirement obligation—nuclear decommissioning represents the regulatory asset associated with the legal obligation to decommission and dismantle V. C. Summer Nuclear Station (Summer Station) as required by SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."

        Deferred non-conventional fuel tax benefits, net, represent the deferral of partnership losses and other expenses of approximately $49 million, offset by the tax benefit of those losses and expenses and accumulated synthetic fuel tax credits of approximately $131 million associated with SCE&G's two partnerships involved in converting coal to synthetic fuel. Under a plan approved by the SCPSC, any tax credits generated from non-conventional fuel produced by the partnerships and consumed by SCE&G and ultimately passed to SCE&G, net of partnership losses and other expenses, have been and will be deferred and will be applied to offset the capital costs of projects required to comply with legislative or regulatory actions. See also Note 2.

        The storm damage reserve represents an SCPSC approved reserve account capped at $50 million to be collected through rates over a period of approximately ten years. The accumulated storm damage reserve can be applied to offset incremental storm damage operations and maintenance costs in excess of $2.5 million in a calendar year.

        Franchise agreements represent costs associated with the 30-year electric and gas franchise agreements with the cities of Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina. These amounts are not earning a return, but are being amortized through cost of service rates over approximately 15 years.

        Non-legal asset retirement obligations represent net collections through depreciation rates of estimated costs to be incurred for the future retirement of assets for which no legal retirement obligation exists.

        The SCPSC and the NCUC (collectively, state commissions) have reviewed and approved through specific orders most of the items shown as regulatory assets. Other items represent costs which are not yet approved for recovery by a state commission. In recording these costs as regulatory assets, management believes the costs will be allowable under existing rate-making concepts that are embodied in rate orders received by the Company. However, ultimate recovery is subject to state commission approval. In the future, as a result of deregulation or other changes in the regulatory environment, the Company may no longer meet the criteria for continued application of SFAS 71 and could be required to write off its regulatory assets and liabilities. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position in the period the writeoff would be recorded.

B.    Equity Compensation Plan

        Under the SCANA Corporation Long-Term Equity Compensation Plan (the Plan), certain employees and non-employee directors may receive incentive and nonqualified stock options and other forms of equity compensation. The Company accounts for this equity-based compensation using the

10

intrinsic value method under APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. In addition, the Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure."

        All options have been granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company's stock on the respective grant dates since the Plan's inception; therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized in connection with such grants. If the Company had recognized compensation expense for the issuance of options based on the fair value method described in SFAS 123, pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been as presented below:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004		2003		2004		2003
Net income — as reported (millions)	$	60	$	74	$	161	$	158
Net income — pro forma (millions)	$	60	$	73	$	161	$	157
Basic and diluted earnings per share — as reported	$	.54	$	.67	$	1.45	$	1.42
Basic and diluted earnings per share — pro forma	$	.54	$	.66	$	1.45	$	1.41

No options have been granted since 2002.

C.    Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

        Components of net periodic benefit income or cost recorded by the Company were as follows:

							Other Postretirement Benefits
	Pension Benefits

	2004			2003			2004		2003

Net periodic benefit (income) cost	$	(7.6	)	$	(0.9	)	$	9.2	$	12.7

        The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was signed December 8, 2003 to make additional voluntary benefits available through Medicare. The Company has elected not to recognize the effects of the Act in these financial statements. The

11

Company will be evaluating the implications of the Act during the remaining portion of 2004 and recognize expected financial effects as prescribed by accounting standards in effect for subsequent reporting periods.

D.    Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per share amounts have been computed in accordance with SFAS 128, "Earnings Per Share." Under SFAS 128, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period after giving effect to securities considered to be dilutive potential common stock. The Company uses the treasury stock method in determining total dilutive potential common stock.

E.    Affiliated Transactions

        SCE&G holds two equity-method investments in partnerships involved in converting coal to non-conventional fuel. SCE&G had recorded as receivables from these affiliated companies approximately $19.1 million and $13.4 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. SCE&G had recorded as payables to these affiliated companies approximately $18.0 million and $12.2 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

F.     New Accounting Standards

        At the June 30—July 1, 2004 meeting of the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF), the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 02-14, "Whether an Investor Should Apply the Equity Method of Accounting to Investments Other Than Common Stock." The EITF determined that an investor should apply the equity method of accounting when it has an investment in common stock or an investment that is in-substance common stock, as defined, provided that the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. This consensus must be applied in reporting periods beginning after September 15, 2004.

        The Company will adopt the guidance provided by EITF Issue No. 02-14 by the fourth quarter 2004. The Company is currently evaluating what impact such guidance will have on its accounting for its telecommunications and other investments.

        At the March 2004 and November 2003 EITF meetings, the EITF reached consensus on Issue No. 03-01, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments." EITF Issue No. 03-01 requires that certain disclosures be made related to investments that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. Guidance for evaluating whether an investment is other-than-temporarily impaired is also provided. The impairment guidance is to be applied in reporting periods beginning after June 15, 2004. The disclosure guidance is effective for annual financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The Company's initial adoption of the disclosure guidance had no impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial position. The Company will adopt the impairment guidance by the third quarter 2004. The Company is currently evaluating what impact such guidance will have on its accounting for its telecommunications and other investments.

2.     RATE AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G)

        Electric

        On July 1, 2004 SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting a 5.66 percent, or $81 million, increase in retail electric base rates. The electric rate request is largely associated with recovering construction and operating costs for SCE&G's new Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which began commercial operation on May 1, 2004, and mandatory environmental upgrades primarily related to Federal Clean Air Act regulations. SCE&G's rate request does not include costs associated with construction of the new backup dam at Lake Murray. SCE&G is also seeking approval from the SCPSC to apply current and anticipated synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray. Hearings on this request will be held in November 2004 and an order is expected by year end. If approved, the new rates would go into effect in January 2005.

        In January 2003, in conjunction with the approval of a retail rate increase, the SCPSC deferred action on the recovery of certain purchased power costs pending the resolution of the appeal of the SCPSC's May 2002 order. In May 2002 the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to increase the fuel component of rates charged to electric customers, which reflected higher fuel costs projected for the period May 2002 through April 2003. The increase also provided continued recovery for under-collected actual fuel costs through April 2001, including short-term purchased power costs necessitated by outages at two of SCE&G's base load generating plants in winter 2000-2001. The Consumer Advocate of South Carolina (Consumer Advocate) appealed to the South Carolina Circuit Court (Circuit Court) the portion of the SCPSC's order related to the recovery of certain purchased power costs. The Circuit Court ruled that the current fuel clause only provides for the recovery of the fuel costs included in purchased power and not the total cost of the power purchased. The Circuit Court remanded the case to the SCPSC for final disposition. In February 2004 the General Assembly of South Carolina clarified the definition of the fuel clause to include the total cost of power purchased. In April 2004 the SCPSC approved a stipulation agreement between the Consumer Advocate and SCE&G whereby SCE&G would be allowed to defer for recovery in a future rate proceeding the approximately $25.6 million of purchased power costs not allowed to be recovered through the fuel clause. Such costs are among the issues included in the rate request discussed previously.

        In April 2004 the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to increase the fuel component of rates charged to electric customers from 1.678 cents per KWh to 1.821 cents per KWh. The increase reflects higher fuel costs projected for the period May 2004 through April 2005. The increase also provides continued recovery for under-collected actual fuel costs through February 2004. The new rates were effective as of the first billing cycle in May 2004.

        Gas

        SCE&G's rates are established using a cost of gas component approved by the SCPSC which may be modified periodically to reflect changes in the price of natural gas purchased by SCE&G.

        SCE&G's cost of gas component in effect during the period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 was as follows:

Rate Per Therm		Effective Date
$	.728	January-February 2003
	.928	March-October 2003
	.877	November 2003-June 2004

13

        The SCPSC allows SCE&G to recover, through a billing surcharge to its commercial and residential gas customers, the costs of environmental cleanup at the sites of former MGPs. The billing surcharge is subject to annual review and provides for the recovery of substantially all actual and projected site assessment and cleanup costs and environmental claims settlements for SCE&G's gas operations that had previously been recorded in deferred debits. In October 2003, as a result of the annual review, the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to reduce the billing surcharge from 3.0 cents per therm to 0.8 cents per therm, which is intended to provide for the recovery, prior to the end of the year 2009, of the balance remaining at June 30, 2004 of $9.4 million.

Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated (PSNC Energy)

        PSNC Energy's rates are established using a benchmark cost of gas approved by the NCUC, which may be modified periodically to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas. PSNC Energy revises its tariffs with the NCUC as necessary to track these changes and accounts for any over- or under-collections of the delivered cost of gas in its deferred accounts for subsequent rate consideration. The NCUC reviews PSNC Energy's gas purchasing practices annually.

        PSNC Energy's benchmark cost of gas in effect during the period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 was as follows:

Rate Per Therm		Effective Date
$	.460	January-February 2003
	.595	March 2003
	.725	April-November 2003
	.600	December 2003-June 2004

        On June 1, 2004 PSNC Energy filed testimony in the 2004 Annual Prudence Review related to the 12 months ended March 31, 2004. The NCUC will hold a hearing on August 10, 2004 to review PSNC Energy's filing.

        For service rendered on and after March 1, 2004, the NCUC authorized PSNC Energy to implement decrements in its sales and transportation rate schedules to reflect a decrease of approximately $5.7 million in PSNC Energy's annual fixed gas costs as well as an over-recovery of approximately $16.5 million.

        A state expansion fund, established by the North Carolina General Assembly and funded by refunds from PSNC Energy's interstate pipeline transporters, provides financing for expansion into areas that otherwise would not be economically feasible to serve. In June 2000 the NCUC approved PSNC Energy's requests for disbursement of up to $28.4 million from PSNC Energy's expansion fund to extend natural gas service to Madison, Jackson and Swain Counties in western North Carolina. The final phase of this project was completed and placed in service in April 2004 at a total cost of approximately $29.7 million.

        In December 1999 the NCUC issued an order approving the Company's acquisition of PSNC Energy. As specified in the order, PSNC Energy agreed to a moratorium on general rate cases until August 2005. General rate relief can be obtained during this period to recover costs associated with material adverse governmental actions and force majeure events.

3.     LONG-TERM DEBT

        On February 11, 2004 South Carolina Generating Company, Inc. (GENCO) issued $100 million of senior secured promissory notes maturing February 1, 2024 and bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.49%. Proceeds from this issuance were used to support GENCO's construction program and to repay intercompany advances borrowed for that purpose.

        In May 2004 SCE&G borrowed $23.6 million under an agreement with the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (the Bank) and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) that allows SCE&G to borrow funds from the Bank to construct a roadbed for SCDOT in connection with the Lake Murray Dam remediation project. The loan agreement provides for interest-free borrowings for costs incurred not to exceed $59 million with such borrowings being repaid over ten years from the initial borrowing. At June 30, 2004 SCE&G had $23.6 million outstanding under the agreement.

        In June 2004 the Company entered into new five-year revolving committed credit facilities totaling $650 million. These new lines of credit replaced $600 million in existing committed credit facilities. At June 30, 2004 SCANA, SCE&G (including South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc.) and PSNC Energy had available the following lines of credit and short-term borrowings outstanding:

(Millions)		SCANA			SCE&G			PSNC Energy
Lines of credit:
	Committed	$	100		$	525		$	125
	Uncommitted		113	(1)		78	(1)		—
Short-term borrowings outstanding:
	Commercial paper (270 or fewer days)		—			168			—
	Weighted average interest rate		—			1.30	%		—

⁽¹⁾

Includes a $78 million uncommitted line that either SCANA or SCE&G may use.

        On July 15, 2004 SCE&G retired at maturity $100 million of first mortgage bonds. These bonds were bearing interest at 7.70%.

4.     RETAINED EARNINGS

        SCANA Corporation's Restated Articles of Incorporation do not limit the dividends that may be paid on its common stock. However, the Restated Articles of Incorporation of SCE&G contain provisions that, under certain circumstances, could limit the payment of cash dividends on its common stock. In addition, with respect to hydroelectric projects, the Federal Power Act requires the appropriation of a portion of certain earnings therefrom. At June 30, 2004 approximately $46.3 million of retained earnings were restricted by this requirement as to payment of cash dividends on SCE&G's common stock.

5.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Investments

        Certain of SCANA Corporation's subsidiaries hold investments in marketable securities, some of which are subject to SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," mark-to-market accounting and some of which are considered cost basis investments for which determination of fair value historically has been considered impracticable. Equity holdings subject to SFAS 115 are categorized as "available for sale" and are carried at quoted market prices, with any unrealized gains and losses credited or charged to other comprehensive income (loss) within common equity on the Company's balance sheet. Debt securities and preferred stock with significant debt

15

characteristics are categorized as "held to maturity" and are carried at amortized cost. When indicated, and in accordance with its stated accounting policy, the Company performs periodic assessments of whether any decline in the value of these securities to amounts below the Company's cost basis is other than temporary. Among the factors considered in these assessments is whether an investment's decline in value to below cost basis has continued for greater than six to nine months. When other than temporary declines occur, write-downs are recorded through operations, and new (lower) cost bases are established. The Company also holds investments in several partnerships and joint ventures, some of which are accounted for using the equity method.

        At June 30, 2004 SCANA Communications Holdings, Inc. (SCH), a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of the Company, held investments in the following equity and debt securities.

Investee	Securities	Basis
		(Millions of dollars)
Magnolia Holding	6.2 million shares nonvoting common stock	$	2.1
ITC^DeltaCom	567.5 thousand shares of common stock		1.1
	166.9 thousand shares series A 8% preferred stock, convertible into 2.9 million shares of common stock		13.2
	Warrants to purchase 506.9 thousand shares of common stock		1.1
Knology	2.6 million shares of voting common stock		23.1
	2.2 million shares of nonvoting common stock		19.6
	13% senior unsecured notes due 2009, including accrued interest		52.7
	Warrants to purchase 16.5 thousand shares of common stock		—

        Magnolia Holding Company, LLC (Magnolia Holding), holds ownership interests in several Southeastern communications companies.

        ITC^DeltaCom, Inc. (ITC^DeltaCom) is a regional provider of telecommunications services. The common shares of ITC^DeltaCom owned by SCH had a market value of $3.1 million, and the warrants owned have a market value of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2004. The ITC^DeltaCom preferred shares owned by SCH are classified as held to maturity due to their debt features, and their market value is not readily determinable.

        Knology, Inc. (Knology) is a fully integrated provider of video, voice, data and advanced communication services to residential and business customers in the southeastern United States. The common shares of Knology (voting and non-voting) owned by SCH had a market value of $23.5 million as of June 30, 2004, resulting in an unrealized loss of $19.2 million (pre-tax). While the common shares have been in a continuous unrealized loss position since March 1, 2004, in accordance with the accounting policy described earlier, the Company has not determined that an other than temporary decline has occurred as of June 30, 2004.

Derivatives

        The Company follows the guidance required by FAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, in accounting for derivatives, including those arising from cash flow hedges related to natural gas. The Company also utilizes swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. These transactions are more fully described in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K.

        The Company recognized gains of approximately $1.1 million and $3.0 million, net of tax, as a result of qualifying cash flow hedges whose hedged transactions occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. The Company recognized gains of approximately $0.2 million and $5.8 million, net of tax, as a result of qualifying cash flow hedges whose hedged transactions occurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2003. These amounts were recorded in cost of gas. The Company estimates that most of the June 30, 2004 unrealized gain balance of $2.8 million, net of tax,

16

will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings in 2004 and 2005 as a decrease to gas cost if market prices remain stable. As of June 30, 2004, all of the Company's cash flow hedges settle by their terms before the end of 2006.

        Option premiums and gains resulting from qualifying fair value hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were insignificant and were recorded in cost of gas. As of June 30, 2004 all of the Company's fair value hedges had settled.

        At June 30, 2004 the estimated fair value of the Company's swaps totaled $1.6 million (loss) related to combined notional amounts of $329.9 million.

6.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Reference is made to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Commitments and contingencies at June 30, 2004 include the following:

A.    Lake Murray Dam Reinforcement

        In October 1999 the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) mandated that SCE&G reinforce its Lake Murray Dam in order to comply with new federal safety standards. Construction for the project and related activities, which began in the third quarter of 2001, is expected to cost approximately $275 million and be completed in 2005. Costs incurred through June 30, 2004 totaled approximately $216 million.

B.    Nuclear Insurance

        The Price-Anderson Indemnification Act, which deals with public liability for a nuclear incident, currently establishes the liability limit for third-party claims associated with any nuclear incident at $10.8 billion. Each reactor licensee is currently liable for up to $100.6 million per reactor owned for each nuclear incident occurring at any reactor in the United States, provided that not more than $10 million of the liability per reactor would be assessed per year. SCE&G's maximum assessment, based on its two-thirds ownership of Summer Station, would be approximately $67.1 million per incident, but not more than $6.7 million per year.

        Congress failed to renew the Price-Anderson Indemnification Act when it expired in 2003. The delayed renewal has no impact on the Company due to the "grandfathered" status of existing licensees that are covered under the expired Act until such time as it is renewed.

        SCE&G currently maintains policies (for itself and on behalf of the South Carolina Public Service Authority) with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited. The policies, covering the nuclear facility for property damage, excess property damage and outage costs, permit retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer's losses. Based on the current annual premium, SCE&G's portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $15.8 million.

        To the extent that insurable claims for property damage, decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and expenses arising from a nuclear incident at Summer Station exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent that SCE&G's rates would not recover the cost of any purchased replacement power, SCE&G will retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. SCE&G has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident at Summer Station. However, if such an incident were to occur, it would have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

17

C.    Environmental

        The Company maintains an environmental assessment program to identify and evaluate current and former sites that could require environmental cleanup. As site assessments are initiated, estimates are made of the amount of expenditures, if any, deemed necessary to investigate and clean up each site. These estimates are refined as additional information becomes available; therefore, actual expenditures could differ significantly from the original estimates. Amounts estimated and accrued to date for site assessments and cleanup relate solely to regulated operations.

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company

        At SCE&G, site assessment and cleanup costs are deferred and amortized with recovery provided through rates (see Note 2). Deferred amounts, net of amounts previously recovered through rates and insurance settlements, totaled $9.4 million at June 30, 2004. The deferral includes the estimated costs associated with the following matters.

        SCE&G owns a decommissioned MGP site in the Calhoun Park area of Charleston, South Carolina. The site is currently being remediated for benzene contamination in the intermediate aquifer on surrounding properties. SCE&G anticipates that the remaining remediation activities will be completed by the end of 2004, with certain monitoring and retreatment activities continuing until 2007. As of June 30, 2004, SCE&G had spent approximately $20.0 million to remediate the Calhoun Park site and expects to spend an additional $1.8 million.

        SCE&G owns three other decommissioned MGP sites in South Carolina which contain residues of by-product chemicals. Two of these sites are currently being remediated under work plans approved by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). SCE&G is continuing to investigate the remaining site and is monitoring the nature and extent of residual contamination. SCE&G anticipates that major remediation activities for the three owned sites will be completed before 2006. As of June 30, 2004, SCE&G had spent approximately $3.1 million related to these sites, and expects to spend an additional $4.9 million.

Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated

        PSNC Energy is responsible for environmental cleanup at five sites in North Carolina on which MGP residuals are present or suspected. PSNC Energy's actual remediation costs for these sites will depend on a number of factors, such as actual site conditions, third-party claims and recoveries from other potentially responsible parties. PSNC Energy has recorded a liability and associated regulatory asset of $6.8 million, which reflects the estimated remaining liability at June 30, 2004. Amounts incurred and deferred to date that are not currently being recovered through gas rates are approximately $2.5 million. Management believes that all MGP cleanup costs incurred will be recoverable through gas rates.

D.    Claims and Litigation

        In 1999 an unsuccessful bidder for the purchase of certain propane gas assets of SCANA Corporation (SCANA) filed suit against SCANA in Circuit Court, seeking unspecified damages. The suit alleges the existence of a contract for the sale of assets to the plaintiff and various causes of action associated with that contract. The Company does not believe that the resolution of this issue will have a material impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

        On August 21, 2003, SCE&G was served as a co-defendant in a purported class action lawsuit styled as Collins v. Duke Energy Corporation, Progress Energy Services Company, and SCE&G in South Carolina's Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial Circuit. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for the alleged improper use of electric transmission easements but have not asserted

18

a dollar amount for their claims. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that the licensing of attachments on electric utility poles, towers and other facilities to non-utility third parties or telecommunication companies for other than the electric utilities' internal use along the electric transmission line right-of-way constitutes a trespass. The Company is confident of the propriety of its actions and intends to mount a vigorous defense. The Company further believes that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

        On May 17, 2004, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit styled as Douglas E. Gressette, individually and on behalf of other persons similarly situated v. South Carolina Electric & Gas Company and SCANA. The case was filed in South Carolina's Court of Common Pleas for the Ninth Judicial Circuit. The Plaintiff alleges the Company made improper use of certain easements and rights-of-way by allowing fiber optic communication lines and/or wireless communication apparatuses to transmit communications other than the Company's electricity-related internal communications. Plaintiff asserts causes of action for unjust enrichment, trespass, injunction and declaratory judgment. Plaintiff did not assert a specific dollar amount for the claims. The Company believes its actions are consistent with governing law and the applicable documents granting easements and rights-of-way. The Company intends to mount a vigorous defense and believes that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

        A complaint was filed on October 22, 2003 against SCE&G by the State of South Carolina alleging that SCE&G violated the Unfair Trade Practices Act by charging municipal franchise fees to some customers residing outside a municipality's limits. The complaint also alleges that SCE&G failed to obey, observe or comply with the lawful order of the SCPSC by charging franchise fees to those not residing within a municipality. The complaint seeks restitution to all affected customers and penalties up to $5,000 for each separate violation. SCE&G is confident of the reasonableness of its actions and intends to mount a vigorous defense. The allegations contained in the complaint are the subject of a similar lawsuit that was filed and served on SCE&G, for which a Motion to Dismiss is pending. The allegations are also the subject of a purported class action lawsuit filed on or about December 12, 2003 against Duke Energy Corporation, Progress Energy Services Company and SCE&G. The Company believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition, SCE&G filed a petition with the SCPSC on October 23, 2003 pursuant to S. C. Code Ann. R.103-836. The petition requests that the SCPSC exercise its jurisdiction to investigate the operation of the municipal franchise fee collection requirements applicable to SCE&G's electric and gas service, to approve SCE&G's efforts to correct any past franchise fee billing errors, to adopt improvements in the system which will reduce such errors in the future, and to adopt any regulation which the SCPSC deems just and proper to regulate the franchise fee collection process.

        The Company is also engaged in various other claims and litigation incidental to its business operations which management anticipates will be resolved without material loss to the Company.

7.     SEGMENT OF BUSINESS INFORMATION

        The Company's reportable segments are listed in the following table. The Company uses operating income to measure profitability for its regulated operations. Therefore, net income is not allocated to the Electric Operations, Gas Distribution and Gas Transmission segments. The Company uses net income to measure profitability for its Retail Gas Marketing and Energy Marketing segments. Gas Distribution is comprised of the local distribution operations of SCE&G and PSNC Energy which meet SFAS 131 criteria for aggregation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

SCANA CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in SCANA Corporation's (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        Statements included in this discussion and analysis (or elsewhere in this quarterly report) which are not statements of historical fact are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and that actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) that the information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to further and/or continuing review and adjustment, (2) regulatory actions or changes in the utility and nonutility regulatory environment, (3) changes in the economy, especially in areas served by the Company's subsidiaries, (4) the impact of competition from other energy suppliers, including competition from alternate fuels in industrial interruptible markets, (5) growth opportunities for the Company's regulated and diversified subsidiaries, (6) the results of financing efforts, (7) changes in the Company's accounting policies, (8) weather conditions, especially in areas served by the Company's subsidiaries, (9) performance of and marketability of the Company's investments in telecommunications companies, (10) performance of the Company's pension plan assets, (11) inflation, (12) changes in environmental regulations, (13) volatility in commodity natural gas markets and (14) the other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in the Company's periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Electric Operations

        In April 2004 the joint U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force issued its "Final Report on the August 14, 2003 Blackout in the United States and Canada: Causes and Recommendations" (Blackout Report). The Blackout Report contains 46 recommendations that, if implemented, the Task Force believes would improve reliability of North America's interconnected bulk power system (the grid). Full implementation of the Blackout Report's recommendations would require a number of actions by legislative, regulatory and industry participants. However, the Blackout Report asserts as its single most important recommendation that the U.S. Congress should enact the reliability provisions contained in certain legislative measures (the Energy Bill), different versions of which passed the House and Senate in 2003 but have stalled in conference committee. Various provisions of the Energy Bill related to electric reliability are being resubmitted as separate legislation (reliability legislation). It is anticipated that any reliability legislation, if passed, would make reliability standards mandatory and enforceable with penalties for non-compliance and would strengthen the role of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), enabling it to enact regulatory initiatives that would significantly change the country's existing regulatory framework governing transmission, open access and energy markets and would attempt, in large measure, to standardize the national energy market.

        In addition, the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) is expected to proceed with its initiatives to develop, establish and enforce standards for the grid. To that end, NERC is working

21

closely with FERC to implement stronger reliability standards among NERC's voluntary membership. South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), along with other NERC members, is also working closely with NERC in these efforts. Such initiatives could be significantly influenced by any reliability legislation enacted by Congress. The Company cannot predict whether Congress will enact reliability legislation or the extent to which the other recommendations contained in the Blackout Report will be implemented. Any action by Congress or initiatives by FERC and NERC could significantly impact SCE&G's access to or cost of power for its native load customers and SCE&G's marketing of power outside its service territory.

Gas Transmission

        In June 2004 the Company announced plans to merge its two natural gas pipeline subsidiaries into one company. Under the plan, South Carolina Pipeline Corporation (SCPC), the Company's intrastate pipeline company, would merge with SCG Pipeline, Inc., the Company's interstate pipeline. The merged companies would operate as a single interstate pipeline company under FERC jurisdiction and would provide transportation services. If approved by FERC, the merger is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2005.

Retail Gas Marketing

        In March 2004 SCANA Energy acquired approximately 47,000 retail natural gas customers formerly served by another gas marketer in Georgia. With this transaction, SCANA Energy's total customer base represents about a 30 percent share of the 1.5 million customers in Georgia's natural gas market. SCANA Energy remains the second largest natural gas marketer in the state.

        In March 2004 SCANA Energy's term for serving low-income and high credit risk customers was extended by the Georgia Public Service Commission (GPSC) for an additional year (through August 31, 2005).

        In November 2003 the GPSC filed a petition with FERC seeking a declaratory order on the assignment of interstate capacity. That petition addressed the question of whether FERC would preempt the GPSC if a plan proposed by SCANA Energy for the assignment of Atlanta Gas Light Company's interstate capacity assets to certificated natural gas marketers was adopted by the GPSC. On April 15, 2004 FERC ruled that it continues to maintain jurisdiction and would preempt the GPSC in any plan dealing with interstate capacity assets. SCANA Energy filed a motion for reconsideration with FERC, which motion is still pending. SCANA Energy has operated successfully under the current interstate capacity plan and does not expect that FERC's ruling will have any negative impact on operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
AS COMPARED TO THE CORRESPONDING PERIODS IN 2003

        The following discussion of the results of operations of SCANA Corporation and its subsidiaries (the Company) includes a non-GAAP measure, GAAP-adjusted net earnings per share from operations, which excludes from net income the effects of sales of certain assets and investments and impairment charges related to certain investments. Management believes GAAP-adjusted net earnings per share from operations provides a meaningful representation of the Company's fundamental earnings power and can aid in analysis of period-over-period financial performance.

Earnings Per Share

        Earnings per share of common stock for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

	Second Quarter					Year to Date
	2004		2003			2004		2003
Reported (GAAP) earnings per share	$	.54	$	.67		$	1.45	$	1.42
Less: Gains from sales of investments and assets		—		.33			—		.33
Investment impairments		—		(.04	)		—		(.04	)
GAAP-adjusted net earnings per share from operations	$	.54	$	.38		$	1.45	$	1.13

Second Quarter 2004 vs 2003

        GAAP-adjusted net earnings per share from operations increased by $.16 due to improved electric margins of $.19, favorable results from nonregulated subsidiaries of $.02 and other of $.01. These factors were partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expenses of $.01, higher property taxes of $.02 and higher depreciation and amortization expense of $.03.

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        GAAP-adjusted net earnings per share from operations increased by $.32 due to improved electric margins of $.34, improved gas margins of $.09, a reduction of preferred dividend requirements of $.01, favorable results from nonregulated subsidiaries of $.03 and other of $.01. These factors were partially offset by higher operation and maintenance expenses of $.07, higher property taxes of $.04 and higher depreciation and amortization expense of $.05.

        GAAP earnings per share for the second quarter and year to date June 2003 includes a gain of $.33 per share in connection with the sale of ITC Holding shares and the receipt of an investment interest in a newly formed entity (Magnolia Holding) in May 2003. In the second quarter of 2003 the Company also recorded an impairment charge of $.04 per share related to the Knology preferred stock investment.

23

Pension Income

        Pension income was recorded on the Company's financial statements as follows:

		Second Quarter					Year to Date
Millions of dollars
		2004		2003			2004		2003
Income Statement Impact:
	Reduction in (component of) employee benefit costs	$	0.8	$	(1.2	)	$	1.8	$	(2.3	)
	Other income		2.5		1.9			4.9		3.9
Balance Sheet Impact:
	Reduction in (component of) capital expenditures		0.2		(0.3	)		0.6		(0.6	)
	Component of amount due to Summer Station co-owner		0.1		(0.1	)		0.3		(0.1	)
Total Pension Income		$	3.6	$	0.3		$	7.6	$	0.9

        For the last several years, the market value of the Company's retirement plan (pension) assets has exceeded the total actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits. Pension income in 2004 increased compared to the corresponding periods in 2003 primarily as a result of a more favorable investment market.

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFC)

        AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is capitalized. The Company includes an equity portion of AFC in nonoperating income and a debt portion of AFC in interest charges (credits) as noncash items, both of which have the effect of increasing reported net income. The increase in AFC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to construction expenditures related to the Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the Lake Murray Dam Project (see discussion at CAPITAL PROJECTS).

Dividends Declared

        The Company's Board of Directors has declared the following dividends on common stock during 2004:

Declaration Date	Dividend Per Share		Record Date	Payment Date
February 19, 2004	$	.365	March 10, 2004	April 1, 2004
April 29, 2004	$	.365	June 10, 2004	July 1, 2004

        Other income, including AFC, decreased primarily due to the monetization and valuation of the Company's telecommunication assets as discussed at Earnings Per Share partially offset by an increase in AFC due to construction expenditures related to the Lake Murray Dam Project.

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        Other income, including AFC, decreased primarily due to the monetization and valuation of the Company's telecommunications assets as discussed at Earnings Per Share partially offset by an increase in AFC due to construction expenditures related to the Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which was completed in May 2004, and the Lake Murray Dam Project.

27

Income Taxes

        Income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 decreased primarily as a result of changes in Other Income as discussed at Earnings Per Share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company anticipates that its contractual cash obligations will be met through internally generated funds, the incurrence of additional short-term and long-term indebtedness and sales of additional equity securities. The Company expects that it has or can obtain adequate sources of financing to meet its projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future. The Company's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the 12 months ended June 30, 2004 was 2.85.

        Cash requirements for the Company's regulated subsidiaries arise primarily from their operational needs, funding their construction programs and payment of dividends to SCANA Corporation. The ability of the regulated subsidiaries to replace existing plant investment, as well as to expand to meet future demand for electricity or gas, will depend on their ability to attract the necessary financial capital on reasonable terms. Regulated subsidiaries recover the costs of providing services through rates charged to customers. Rates for regulated services are generally based on historical costs. As customer growth and inflation occur and these subsidiaries continue their ongoing construction programs, rate increases will be sought. The future financial position and results of operations of the regulated subsidiaries will be affected by their ability to obtain adequate and timely rate and other regulatory relief.

        On July 1, 2004 SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting a 5.66 percent, or $81 million, increase in retail electric base rates. The electric rate request is largely associated with recovering construction and operating costs for SCE&G's new Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which began commercial operation on May 1, 2004, and mandatory environmental upgrades primarily related to Federal Clean Air Act regulations. SCE&G's rate request does not include costs associated with construction of the new backup dam at Lake Murray. SCE&G is also seeking approval from the SCPSC to apply current and anticipated net synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray. Hearings on this request will be held in November 2004 and an order is expected by year end. If approved, the new rates would go into effect in January 2005.

        The following table summarizes how the Company generated and used funds for property additions and construction expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions of dollars
	2004		2003
Net cash provided from operating activities	$	324	$	259
Net cash provided from (used for) financing activities		28		(69	)
Cash provided from sale of investments and assets		1		65
Cash and temporary investments available at the beginning of the period		117		341
Funds used for utility property additions and construction expenditures, net of noncash allowance for funds used during construction	$	232	$	380
Funds used for nonutility property additions		3		4
Funds used for investments		8		8

        The Company's issuance of various securities, including long-term and short-term debt, is subject to customary approval or authorization by state and federal regulatory bodies including state public service commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. In June 2004 the Company entered into new five-year revolving committed credit facilities totaling $650 million. These new lines of credit replaced $600 million in existing committed credit facilities. At June 30, 2004 SCANA, SCE&G

28

(including South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc.) and PSNC Energy had available the following lines of credit and short-term borrowings outstanding:

(Millions)		SCANA			SCE&G			PSNC Energy
Lines of credit:
	Committed	$	100		$	525		$	125
	Uncommitted		113	(1)		78	(1)		—
Short-term borrowings outstanding:
	Commercial paper (270 or fewer days)		—			168			—
	Weighted average interest rate		—			1.30	%		—

⁽¹⁾

Includes a $78 million uncommitted line that either SCANA or SCE&G may use.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

        On February 11, 2004 GENCO issued $100 million of senior secured promissory notes maturing February 1, 2024 and bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.49%. Proceeds from this issuance were used to support GENCO's construction program and to repay intercompany advances borrowed for that purpose.

        Effective May 1, 2004 shares of SCANA's common stock purchased on behalf of participants in the SCANA Investor Plus Plan, Stock Purchase-Savings Plan and Director Compensation and Deferral Plan are being purchased directly from SCANA rather than on the open market. SCANA estimates that these original issue purchases will result in the issuance of approximately two million new shares of common stock and provide approximately $65 million in additional common stock equity on an annual basis. In addition, since March 31, 2004 SCANA has not purchased outstanding shares of common stock on the open market.

        In May 2004 SCE&G borrowed $23.6 million under an agreement with the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (the Bank) and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) that allows SCE&G to borrow funds from the Bank to construct a roadbed for SCDOT in connection with the Lake Murray Dam remediation project. The loan agreement provides for interest-free borrowings for costs incurred not to exceed $59 million with such borrowings being repaid over ten years from the initial borrowing. At June 30, 2004 SCE&G had $23.6 million outstanding under the agreement.

        On July 15, 2004 SCE&G retired at maturity $100 million of first mortgage bonds. These bonds were bearing interest at 7.70%.

CAPITAL PROJECTS

        In May 2004 SCE&G's 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station began commercial operation. The $450 million facility includes three natural gas combustion-turbine generators and one steam-turbine generator. Approximately $276 million of the capital expenditures have been included in rate base, and the remainder is included in the rate case previously discussed.

        In October 1999 FERC mandated that SCE&G reinforce its Lake Murray Dam in order to comply with new federal safety standards. Construction for the project and related activities, which began in the third quarter of 2001, is expected to cost approximately $275 million and be completed in 2005. Costs incurred through June 30, 2004 totaled approximately $216 million. See also the previous rate case discussion.

        Construction of SCPC's South System Loop was completed in March 2004 at a cost of approximately $21 million. This pipeline stretches 38.3 miles from SCG Pipeline's connection with SCE&G's Jasper County Electric Generating Station to Yemassee in Hampton County, South Carolina, providing a new gas supply source to SCPC's current system.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

        For information on environmental matters see Note 6C to condensed consolidated financial statements.

OTHER MATTERS

Nuclear Station

        In April 2004 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved SCE&G's application for a 20-year license extension for its V. C. Summer Nuclear Station (Summer Station). The extension allows the plant to operate through August 6, 2042.

Synthetic Fuel

        SCE&G holds two equity-method investments in partnerships involved in converting coal to non-conventional fuel, the use of which fuel qualifies for federal income tax credits. The aggregate investment in these partnerships as of June 30, 2004 is approximately $5 million, and through June 30, 2004, they have generated and passed to SCE&G approximately $114 million in synthetic fuel tax credits. At June 30, 2004 SCE&G has recorded on its balance sheet $82 million net deferred tax benefits, which includes the effects of partnership losses. In addition, Primesouth, Inc, a non-regulated subsidiary of SCANA, operates a synthetic fuel facility for a third party and receives management fees, royalties and expense reimbursements related to these services. Primesouth does not benefit from any synfuel tax credits.

        Under a plan approved by the SCPSC, any tax credits generated by the partnerships and ultimately passed to SCE&G from synfuel produced for and consumed by SCE&G, net of partnership losses and other expenses, have been and will be deferred and will be applied to offset the capital costs of projects required to comply with legislative or regulatory actions. See Note 1A to the condensed consolidated financial statements. As discussed previously, SCE&G's rate case will seek SCPSC approval to apply current and anticipated net synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray.

        In March 2004 S. C. Coaltech No. 1 L.P. received a "No Change" letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to its synthetic fuel operations for the tax year 2000. After review of testing procedures, supporting documentation and conducting independent investigation, the IRS found that the partnership produces a qualifying fuel under section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code and found no reason to challenge the first placed-in-service status of the facility. This letter supports the Company's position that the synthetic fuel tax credits have been properly claimed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        All financial instruments held by the Company described below are held for purposes other than trading.

        Interest rate risk—The table below provides information about long-term debt issued by the Company and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by

30

expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the figures shown reflect notional amounts and related maturities. Fair values for debt and swaps represent quoted market prices.

As of June 30, 2004		Expected Maturity Date
Millions of dollars		2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	There- After	Total	Fair Value
Liabilities
Long-Term Debt:
Fixed Rate ($)		194.7	193.6	174.4	68.6	158.6	2,640.9	3,430.8	3,480.1
Average Fixed Interest Rate (%)		7.51	7.39	8.50	6.96	6.13	6.24	6.50
Variable Rate ($)				200.0				200.0	200.0
Average Variable Interest Rate (%)				1.70				1.70
Interest Rate Swaps:
Pay Variable/Receive Fixed ($)		54.3	3.2	3.2	28.2	118.2	122.8	329.9	(1.6	)
	Average Pay Interest Rate (%)	2.75	4.78	4.78	3.82	4.32	4.86	4.23
	Average Receive Interest Rate (%)	7.64	8.75	8.75	7.11	5.89	6.51	6.57

        While a decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt, it is unlikely that events which would result in a realized loss will occur.

        At June 30, 2004 the Company held investments in the 13% senior unsecured notes (due 2009) of a telecommunications company, the cost basis of which, including accrued interest, is approximately $52.7 million. As these notes are not broadly traded, determination of their fair value is not practical.

        Commodity price risk—The following table provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in natural gas prices. Weighted average settlement prices are per 10,000 mmbtu. Fair value represents quoted market prices.

Expected Maturity:

	Futures Contracts
				Options Purchased call (long) ($)
	Long ($)	Short ($)
2004
Settlement Price(a)	6.32	6.35

Fair Value	0.7	—

(a)

Weighted average

        Equity price risk—Investments in telecommunications companies' equity securities (excluding preferred stock with significant debt characteristics) are carried at market value or, if market value is not readily determinable, at cost. The carrying value of the Company's investments in such securities totaled $30.7 million at June 30, 2004. A temporary decline in value of ten percent would result in a $3.1 million reduction in fair value and a corresponding adjustment, net of tax effect, to the related equity account for unrealized gains/losses, a component of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). An other than temporary decline in value of ten percent would result in a $3.1 million reduction in fair value and a corresponding adjustment to net income, net of tax effect.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        As of June 30, 2004 an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that as of June 30, 2004 the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(Unaudited)

        The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in South Carolina Electric & Gas Company's (together with its consolidated affiliates, the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. These are interim financial statements, and due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the year. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.    Variable Interest Entity

        The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised 2003) (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", effective January 1, 2004, which requires an enterprise's consolidated financial statements to include entities in which the enterprise has a controlling financial interest. South Carolina Electric and Gas Company (SCE&G) has determined that it has a controlling financial interest in South Carolina Generating Company, Inc. (GENCO) under the criteria of FIN 46, and accordingly, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCE&G, GENCO and South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc. Prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the adoption of FIN 46. The consolidation resulted in an increase of approximately $329 million in net assets reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for June 30, 2004. The equity interest in GENCO is held solely by SCANA Corporation, the Company's parent. Accordingly, GENCO's equity and results of operations are reflected as a minority interest in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, and the adoption of FIN 46 therefore had no impact on the Company's equity, net earnings or cash flows.

        GENCO owns and operates a coal-fired electric generating station with a 615 megawatt net generating capacity (summer rating). GENCO's electricity is sold solely to SCE&G under the terms of a power purchase and related agreement. Substantially all of GENCO's property (carrying value of approximately $75 million) serves as collateral for its long-term borrowings.

B.    Basis of Accounting

        The Company accounts for its regulated utility operations, assets and liabilities in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS 71 requires cost-based rate-regulated utilities to recognize in their financial statements certain revenues and expenses in different time periods than do enterprises that are not rate-regulated. As a result the Company has recorded, as of June 30, 2004, approximately

38

$339 million and $458 million of regulatory assets (including environmental) and liabilities, respectively. Information relating to regulatory assets and liabilities follows.

Millions of dollars	June 30, 2004			December 31, 2003
Accumulated deferred income taxes, net	$	103		$	104
Under- (over-) collections — electric fuel and gas cost adjustment clauses, net		(1	)		39
Deferred purchased power costs		26			—
Deferred environmental remediation costs		9			11
Asset retirement obligation — nuclear decommissioning		49			48
Deferred non-conventional fuel tax benefits, net		(82	)		(67	)
Storm damage reserve		(34	)		(37	)
Franchise agreements		60			62
Non-legal asset retirement obligations		(274	)		(265	)
Other		25			20
Total	$	(119	)	$	(85	)

        Accumulated deferred income tax liabilities arising from utility operations that have not been included in customer rates are recorded as a regulatory asset. Accumulated deferred income tax assets arising from deferred investment tax credits are recorded as a regulatory liability.

        Under- (over-) collections—electric fuel and gas cost adjustment clauses, net represent amounts under or over-collected from customers pursuant to the fuel adjustment clause (electric customers) or gas cost adjustment clause (gas customers) as approved by the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (SCPSC) during annual hearings.

        Deferred purchased power costs—In April 2004 the SCPSC approved a stipulation agreement between the Consumer Advocate and SCE&G whereby SCE&G was allowed to defer for recovery in a future rate proceeding the portion of the purchased power costs not allowed to be recovered through the fuel clause. In its rate application filed on July 1, 2004, SCE&G is seeking to recover these deferred purchased power costs through base rates using a three-year amortization schedule.

        Deferred environmental remediation costs represent costs associated with the assessment and clean-up of manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites currently or formerly owned by SCE&&G. Costs incurred at sites owned by SCE&G are being recovered through rates. Such costs, totaling approximately $9.4 million, are expected to be fully recovered by the end of 2009.

        Asset retirement obligation—nuclear decommissioning represents the regulatory asset associated with the legal obligation to decommission and dismantle V. C. Summer Nuclear Station (Summer Station) as required by SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations."

        Deferred non-conventional fuel tax benefits, net represent the deferral of partnership losses and other expenses of approximately $49 million, offset by the tax benefit of those losses and expenses and accumulated synthetic fuel tax credits of approximately $131 million associated with SCE&G's two partnerships involved in converting coal to synthetic fuel. Under a plan approved by the SCPSC, any tax credits generated from non-conventional fuel produced by the partnerships and ultimately passed to SCE&G, net of partnership losses and other expenses, have been and will be deferred and will be applied to offset the capital costs of projects required to comply with legislative or regulatory actions. See also Note 2.

        The storm damage reserve represents an SCPSC approved reserve account capped at $50 million to be collected through rates over a period of approximately ten years. The accumulated storm damage reserve can be applied to offset incremental storm damage operations and maintenance costs in excess of $2.5 million in a calendar year.

39

        Franchise agreements represent costs associated with the 30-year electric and gas franchise agreements with the cities of Charleston and Columbia, South Carolina. These amounts are not earning a return, but are being amortized through cost of service rates over approximately 15 years.

        Non-legal asset retirement obligations represent net collections through depreciation rates of estimated costs to be incurred for the future retirement of assets for which no legal retirement obligation exists.

        The SCPSC has reviewed and approved through specific orders most of the items shown as regulatory assets. Other items represent costs which are not yet approved for recovery by the SCPSC. In recording these costs as regulatory assets, management believes the costs will be allowable under existing rate-making concepts that are embodied in rate orders received by SCE&G. However, ultimate recovery is subject to SCPSC approval. In the future, as a result of deregulation or other changes in the regulatory environment, the Company may no longer meet the criteria for continued application of SFAS 71 and could be required to write off its regulatory assets and liabilities. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position in the period the write-off would be recorded.

C.    Affiliated Transactions

        SCE&G has entered into agreements with certain affiliates to purchase gas for resale to its distribution customers and to purchase electric energy. SCE&G purchases all of its natural gas requirements from South Carolina Pipeline Corporation (SCPC). SCE&G had approximately $19.5 million and $39.5 million payable to SCPC for such gas purchases at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

        SCE&G holds two equity-method investments in partnerships involved in converting coal to non-conventional fuel. SCE&G had recorded as receivables from these affiliated companies for these investments approximately $19.1 million and $13.4 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively. SCE&G had recorded as payables to these affiliated companies approximately $18.0 million and $12.2 million at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

        The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Act) was signed December 8, 2003 to make additional voluntary benefits available through Medicare. SCE&G has elected not to recognize the effects of the Act in these financial statements. SCE&G will be evaluating the implications of the Act during the remaining portion of 2004 and recognize expected financial effects as prescribed by accounting standards in effect for subsequent reporting periods.

E.    Reclassifications

        Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted for 2004.

2.     RATE AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

        Electric

        On July 1, 2004 SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting a 5.66 percent, or $81 million, increase in retail electric base rates. The electric rate request is largely associated with recovering construction and operating costs for SCE&G's new Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which began commercial operation on May 1, 2004, and mandatory environmental upgrades primarily related to Federal Clean Air Act regulations. SCE&G's rate request does not include costs associated with construction of the new backup dam at Lake Murray. SCE&G is also seeking approval from the SCPSC to apply current and anticipated synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray. Hearings on this request will be held in November 2004 and an order is expected by year end. If approved, the new rates would go into effect in January 2005.

41

        In January 2003, in conjunction with the approval of a retail rate increase, the SCPSC deferred action on the recovery of certain purchased power costs pending the resolution of the appeal of the SCPSC's May 2002 order. In May 2002 the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to increase the fuel component of rates charged to electric customers, which reflected higher fuel costs projected for the period May 2002 through April 2003. The increase also provided continued recovery for under-collected actual fuel costs through April 2001, including short-term purchased power costs necessitated by outages at two of SCE&G's base load generating plants in winter 2000-2001. The Consumer Advocate of South Carolina (Consumer Advocate) appealed to the South Carolina Circuit Court (Circuit Court) the portion of the SCPSC's order related to the recovery of certain purchased power costs. The Circuit Court ruled that the current fuel clause only provides for the recovery of the fuel costs included in purchased power and not the total cost of the power purchased. The Circuit Court remanded the case to the SCPSC for final disposition. In February 2004 the General Assembly of South Carolina clarified the definition of the fuel clause to include the total cost of power purchased. In April 2004 the SCPSC approved a stipulation agreement between the Consumer Advocate and SCE&G whereby SCE&G would be allowed to defer for recovery in a future rate proceeding the approximately $25.6 million of purchased power costs not allowed to be recovered through the fuel clause. Such costs are among the issues included in the rate request discussed previously.

        In April 2004 the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to increase the fuel component of rates charged to electric customers from 1.678 cents per KWh to 1.821 cents per KWh. The increase reflects higher fuel costs projected for the period May 2004 through April 2005. The increase also provides continued recovery for under-collected actual fuel costs through February 2004. The new rates were effective as of the first billing cycle in May 2004.

        Gas

        SCE&G's rates are established using a cost of gas component approved by the SCPSC which may be modified periodically to reflect changes in the price of natural gas purchased by SCE&G.

        SCE&G's cost of gas component in effect during the period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 was as follows:

Rate Per Therm		Effective Date
$	.728	January-February 2003
	.928	March-October 2003
	.877	November 2003-June 2004

        The SCPSC allows SCE&G to recover, through a billing surcharge to its commercial and residential gas customers, the costs of environmental cleanup at the sites of former MGPs. The billing surcharge is subject to annual review and provides for the recovery of substantially all actual and projected site assessment and cleanup costs and environmental claims settlements for SCE&G's gas operations that had previously been recorded in deferred debits. In October 2003, as a result of the annual review, the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to reduce the billing surcharge from 3.0 cents per therm to 0.8 cents per therm, which is intended to provide for the recovery, prior to the end of the year 2009, of the balance remaining at June 30, 2004 of $9.4 million.

3.     LONG-TERM DEBT

        On February 11, 2004 GENCO issued $100 million of senior secured promissory notes maturing February 1, 2024 and bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.49%. Proceeds from this issuance were used to support GENCO's construction program and to repay intercompany advances borrowed for that purpose.

42

        In May 2004 SCE&G borrowed $23.6 million under an agreement with the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (the Bank) and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) that allows SCE&G to borrow funds from the Bank to construct a roadbed for SCDOT in connection with the Lake Murray Dam remediation project. The loan agreement provides for interest-free borrowings for costs incurred not to exceed $59 million with such borrowings being repaid over ten years from the initial borrowing. At June 30, 2004 SCE&G had $23.6 million outstanding under the agreement.

        In June 2004 SCE&G entered into new five-year revolving committed credit facilities totaling $525 million. These new lines of credit replaced $475 million in existing committed credit facilities.

        On July 15, 2004 SCE&G retired at maturity $100 million of first mortgage bonds. These bonds were bearing interest at 7.70%.

4.     RETAINED EARNINGS

        SCE&G's Restated Articles of Incorporation contain provisions that, under certain circumstances, could limit the payment of cash dividends on its common stock. In addition, with respect to hydroelectric projects, the Federal Power Act requires the appropriation of a portion of certain earnings therefrom. At June 30, 2004 approximately $46.3 million of retained earnings were restricted by this requirement as to payment of cash dividends on common stock.

5.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        Reference is made to Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Commitments and contingencies at June 30, 2004 include the following:

A.    Lake Murray Dam Reinforcement

        In October 1999 the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) mandated that SCE&G reinforce its Lake Murray Dam in order to comply with new federal safety standards. Construction for the project and related activities, which began in the third quarter of 2001, is expected to cost approximately $275 million and be completed in 2005. Costs incurred through June 30, 2004 totaled approximately $216 million.

B.    Nuclear Insurance

        The Price-Anderson Indemnification Act, which deals with public liability for a nuclear incident, currently establishes the liability limit for third-party claims associated with any nuclear incident at $10.8 billion. Each reactor licensee is currently liable for up to $100.6 million per reactor owned for each nuclear incident occurring at any reactor in the United States, provided that not more than $10 million of the liability per reactor would be assessed per year. SCE&G's maximum assessment, based on its two-thirds ownership of Summer Station, would be approximately $67.1 million per incident, but not more than $6.7 million per year.

        Congress failed to renew the Price-Anderson Indemnification Act when it expired in 2003. The delayed renewal has no impact on SCE&G due to the "grandfathered" status of existing licensees that are covered under the expired Act until such time as it is renewed.

        SCE&G currently maintains policies (for itself and on behalf of the South Carolina Public Service Authority) with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited. The policies, covering the nuclear facility for property damage, excess property damage and outage costs, permit retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer's losses. Based on the current annual premium, SCE&G's portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $15.8 million.

43

        To the extent that insurable claims for property damage, decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and expenses arising from a nuclear incident at Summer Station exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent that SCE&G's rates would not recover the cost of any purchased replacement power, SCE&G will retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. SCE&G has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident at Summer Station. If such an incident were to occur, it would have a material adverse impact on SCE&G's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

C.    Environmental

        SCE&G maintains an environmental assessment program to identify and evaluate current and former sites that could require environmental cleanup. As site assessments are initiated, estimates are made of the amount of expenditures, if any, deemed necessary to investigate and clean up each site. These estimates are refined as additional information becomes available; therefore, actual expenditures could differ significantly from the original estimates. Amounts estimated and accrued to date for site assessments and cleanup relate solely to regulated operations.

        At SCE&G, site assessment and cleanup costs are deferred and amortized with recovery provided through rates (see Note 2). Deferred amounts, net of amounts previously recovered through rates and insurance settlements, totaled $9.4 million at June 30, 2004. The deferral includes the estimated costs associated with the following matters.

        SCE&G owns a decommissioned MGP site in the Calhoun Park area of Charleston, South Carolina. The site is currently being remediated for benzene contamination in the intermediate aquifer on surrounding properties. SCE&G anticipates that the remaining remediation activities will be completed by the end of 2004, with certain monitoring and retreatment activities continuing until 2007. As of June 30, 2004, SCE&G had spent approximately $20.0 million to remediate the Calhoun Park site and expects to spend an additional $1.8 million.

        SCE&G owns three other decommissioned MGP sites in South Carolina which contain residues of by-product chemicals. Two of these sites are currently being remediated under work plans approved by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). SCE&G is continuing to investigate the remaining site and is monitoring the nature and extent of residual contamination. SCE&G anticipates that major remediation activities for the three owned sites will be completed before 2006. As of June 30, 2004, SCE&G had spent approximately $3.1 million related to these sites, and expects to spend an additional $4.9 million.

D.    Claims and Litigation

        On August 21, 2003, SCE&G was served as a co-defendant in a purported class action lawsuit styled as Collins v. Duke Energy Corporation, Progress Energy Services Company, and South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, in South Carolina's Circuit Court of Common Pleas for the Fifth Judicial Circuit. The plaintiffs are seeking damages for the alleged improper use of electric transmission easements but have not asserted a dollar amount for their claims. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that the licensing of attachments on electric utility poles, towers and other facilities to non-utility third parties or telecommunication companies for other than the electric utilities' internal use along the electric transmission line right-of-way constitutes a trespass. SCE&G is confident of the propriety of its actions and intends to mount a vigorous defense. SCE&G further believes that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

        On May 17, 2004, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit styled as Douglas E. Gressette, individually and on behalf of other persons similarly situated v. South Carolina Electric & Gas Company and SCANA. The case was filed in South Carolina's Court of Common Pleas for the

44

Ninth Judicial Circuit. The Plaintiff alleges the Company made improper use of certain easements and rights-of-way by allowing fiber optic communication lines and/or wireless communication apparatuses to transmit communications other than the Company's electricity-related internal communications. Plaintiff asserts causes of action for unjust enrichment, trespass, injunction and declaratory judgment. Plaintiff did not assert a specific dollar amount for the claims. The Company believes its actions are consistent with governing law and the applicable documents granting easements and rights-of-way. The Company intends to mount a vigorous defense and believes that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

        A complaint was filed on October 22, 2003 against SCE&G by the State of South Carolina alleging that SCE&G violated the Unfair Trade Practices Act by charging municipal franchise fees to some customers residing outside a municipality's limits. The complaint also alleges that SCE&G failed to obey, observe or comply with the lawful order of the SCPSC by charging franchise fees to those not residing within a municipality. The complaint seeks restitution to all affected customers and penalties up to $5,000 for each separate violation. SCE&G is confident of the reasonableness of its actions and intends to mount a vigorous defense. The allegations contained in the complaint are the subject of a similar lawsuit that was filed and served on SCE&G, for which a Motion to Dismiss is pending. The allegations are also the subject of a purported class action lawsuit filed on or about December 12, 2003 against Duke Energy Corporation, Progress Energy Services Company and SCE&G. SCE&G believes that the resolution of these actions will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition, SCE&G filed a petition with the SCPSC on October 23, 2003 pursuant to S. C. Code Ann. R.103-836. The petition requests that the SCPSC exercise its jurisdiction to investigate the operation of the municipal franchise fee collection requirements applicable to SCE&G's electric and gas service, to approve SCE&G's efforts to correct any past franchise fee billing errors, to adopt improvements in the system which will reduce such errors in the future, and to adopt any regulation which the SCPSC deems just and proper to regulate the franchise fee collection process.

        The Company is also engaged in various other claims and litigation incidental to its business operations which management anticipates will be resolved without material loss to the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in South Carolina Electric & Gas Company's (SCE&G) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        Statements included in this discussion and analysis (or elsewhere in this quarterly report) which are not statements of historical fact are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and that actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) that the information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to further and/or continuing review and adjustment, (2) regulatory actions or changes in the utility regulatory environment, (3) changes in the economy, especially in SCE&G's service territory, (4) the impact of competition from other energy suppliers, including competition from alternate fuels in industrial interruptible markets, (5) growth opportunities, (6) the results of financing efforts, (7) changes in SCE&G's accounting policies, (8) weather conditions, especially in areas served by SCE&G, (9) performance of SCANA Corporation's (SCANA) pension plan assets and the impact on SCE&G's results of operations, (10) inflation, (11) changes in environmental regulations and (12) the other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in SCE&G's periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. SCE&G disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Electric Operations

        In April 2004 the joint U.S.-Canada Power System Outage Task Force issued its "Final Report on the August 14, 2003 Blackout in the United States and Canada: Causes and Recommendations" (Blackout Report). The Blackout Report contains 46 recommendations that, if implemented, the Task Force believes would improve reliability of North America's interconnected bulk power system (the grid). Full implementation of the Blackout Report's recommendations would require a number of actions by legislative, regulatory and industry participants. However, the Blackout Report asserts as its single most important recommendation that the U.S. Congress should enact the reliability provisions contained in certain legislative measures (the Energy Bill), different versions of which passed the House and Senate in 2003 but have stalled in conference committee. Various provisions of the Energy Bill related to electric reliability are being resubmitted as separate legislation (reliability legislation). It is anticipated that any reliability legislation, if passed, would make reliability standards mandatory and enforceable with penalties for non-compliance and would strengthen the role of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), enabling it to enact regulatory initiatives that would significantly change the country's existing regulatory framework governing transmission, open access and energy markets and would attempt, in large measure, to standardize the national energy market.

        In addition, the North American Electric Reliability Council (NERC) is expected to proceed with its initiatives to develop, establish and enforce standards for the grid. To that end, NERC is working closely with FERC to implement stronger reliability standards among NERC's voluntary membership. SCE&G, along with other NERC members, is also working closely with NERC in these efforts. Such initiatives could be significantly influenced by any reliability legislation enacted by Congress. The Company cannot predict whether Congress will enact reliability legislation or the extent to which the other recommendations contained in the Blackout Report will be implemented. Any action by Congress or initiatives by FERC and NERC could significantly impact SCE&G's access to or cost of power for its native load customers and SCE&G's marketing of power outside its service territory.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004
AS COMPARED TO THE CORRESPONDING PERIOD IN 2003

Net Income

        Net income for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:

	Second Quarter				Year to Date
Millions of dollars
	2004		2003		2004		2003
Net income	$	56.9	$	39.9	$	110.7	$	87.0

Second Quarter 2004 vs 2003

        Net income increased due to higher electric margins of $20.6 million and a reduction of preferred dividend requirements of $0.8 million, partially offset by lower gas margins of $0.7 million, higher depreciation expense of $3.6 million, higher property taxes of $1.8 million and higher interest expense of $0.3 million.

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        Net income increased due to higher electric margins of $37.2 million and a reduction of preferred dividend requirements of $1.7 million, partially offset by lower gas margins of $3.9 million, higher operation and maintenance expense of $3.0 million, higher depreciation expense of $5.2 million and higher property taxes of $4.2 million.

Pension Income

        Pension income was recorded on SCE&G's financial statements as follows:

		Second Quarter					Year to Date
Millions of dollars
		2004		2003			2004		2003
Income Statement Impact:
	Reduction in (component of) employee benefit costs	$	1.1	$	(0.8	)	$	2.4	$	(1.4	)
	Other income		2.5		1.9			5.0		3.9
Balance Sheet Impact:
	Reduction in (component of) capital expenditures		0.3		(0.2	)		0.7		(0.4	)
	Component of amount due to Summer Station co-owner		0.1		(0.1	)		0.3		(0.1	)
Total Pension Income		$	4.0	$	0.8		$	8.4	$	2.0

        For the last several years, the market value of SCANA's retirement plan (pension) assets has exceeded the total actuarial present value of accumulated plan benefits. SCE&G's portion of SCANA's pension income in 2004 increased compared to the corresponding periods in 2003 primarily as a result of a more favorable investment market.

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFC)

        AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is capitalized. SCE&G includes an equity portion of AFC in nonoperating income and a debt portion of AFC in interest charges (credits) as noncash items, both of which have the effect of increasing reported net income. The increase in AFC for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 is primarily due to construction expenditures related to the Jasper County Electric Generating Station,

48

which was completed in May 2004, and the Lake Murray Dam Project (see discussion at CAPITAL PROJECTS).

Dividends Declared

        SCE&G and GENCO's Board of Directors has declared the following dividends on common stock held by SCANA during 2004:

Declaration Date	Amount		Quarter Ended	Payment Date
February 19, 2004	$	36.0 million	March 31, 2004	April 1, 2004
April 29, 2004	$	37.0 million	June 30, 2004	July 1, 2004
July 29, 2004	$	36.0 million	September 30, 2004	October 1, 2004

Electric Operations

        Electric Operations is comprised of the electric operations of SCE&G, GENCO and South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc. Electric operations sales margins were as follows:

		Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars
		2004		% Change		2003		2004		% Change		2003
Operating revenues		$	435.4	21.7	%	$	357.8	$	816.6	17.5	%	$	695.2

	Margin	$	295.5	12.7	%	$	262.2	$	568.6	11.9	%	$	508.3

Second Quarter 2004 vs 2003

        Margin increased $17.3 million due to favorable weather, $9.3 million from off-system sales and $6.7 million due to customer growth and consumption.

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        Margin increased due to increased retail electric base rates that went into effect in February 2003, for a total impact of $7.1 million, an additional $20.5 million due to favorable weather, $23.9 million from off-system sales and $8.8 million due to customer growth and consumption.

Gas Distribution

        Gas Distribution is comprised of the local distribution operations of SCE&G. Gas distribution sales margins (including transactions with affiliates) were as follows:

		Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars
		2004		% Change		2003		2004		% Change		2003
Operating revenues		$	67.9	6.3	%	$	63.9	$	213.5	4.7	%	$	204.0
Less: Gas purchased for resale			55.3	10.4	%		50.1		166.1	10.5	%		150.3
	Margin	$	12.6	(8.7	%)	$	13.8	$	47.4	(11.7	%)	$	53.7

Second Quarter 2004 vs 2003

        Margin decreased primarily due to a decreased billing surcharge for the recovery of environmental remediation expenses (offset in operations and maintenance expense).

49

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        Margin decreased primarily due to a decreased billing surcharge for the recovery of environmental remediation expenses of $4.2 million (offset in operations and maintenance expense) and an unfavorable competitive position of natural gas relative to alternate fuels of $0.8 million.

Other Operating Expenses

        Other operating expenses were as follows:

	Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars
	2004		% Change		2003		2004		% Change		2003
Other operation and maintenance	$	103.5	—		$	103.6	$	212.2	2.4	%	$	207.3
Depreciation and amortization		55.5	11.7	%		49.7		107.4	8.5	%		99.0
Other taxes		34.7	9.1	%		31.8		69.7	10.8	%		62.9
Total	$	193.7	4.6	%	$	185.1	$	389.3	5.4	%	$	369.2

Second Quarter 2004 vs 2003

        Other operation and maintenance expenses decreased slightly due to a decreased billing surcharge for the recovery of environmental remediation expenses of $1.0 million (offset in gas margin) and increased pension income of $1.9 million, partially offset by increased labor and benefit costs of $3.2 million. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.4 million due to the completion of the Jasper County Electric Generating Station and $2.4 million due to normal net property changes. Other taxes increased primarily due to increased property taxes.

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        Other operation and maintenance expenses increased primarily due to increased labor and benefit costs of $5.6 million, 2004 winter storm restoration expenses of $2.5 million and increased expenses at electric generation plants of $3.4 million, partially offset by a decreased billing surcharge for the recovery of environmental remediation expenses of $4.2 million (offset in gas margin) and increased pension income of $3.8 million. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.4 million due to the completion of the Jasper County Electric Generating Station and $5.0 million due to normal net property changes. Other taxes increased primarily due to increased property taxes.

Interest Expense

Second Quarter 2004 vs 2003

        Interest expense was unchanged due to increases of $2.2 million as a result of increased long-term debt offset by decreases of $1.2 million due to lower interest rates and $1.0 million due to increased AFC.

Year to Date 2004 vs 2003

        Interest expense increased by $6.1 million due to increased long-term debt, partially offset by $3.3 million due to lower interest rates and by $1.2 million due to increased AFC.

Income Taxes

        Income taxes for the quarter and year to date periods ended June 30, 2004 increased primarily as a result of changes in operating income.

50

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        SCE&G anticipates that its contractual cash obligations will be met through internally generated funds and the incurrence of additional short-term and long-term indebtedness. SCE&G expects that it has or can obtain adequate sources of financing to meet its projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future. SCE&G's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the 12 months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.44.

        SCE&G's cash requirements arise primarily from its operational needs, funding its construction programs and payment of dividends to SCANA. The ability of SCE&G to replace existing plant investment, as well as to expand to meet future demand for electricity and gas, will depend upon its ability to attract the necessary financial capital on reasonable terms. SCE&G recovers the costs of providing services through rates charged to customers. Rates for regulated services are generally based on historical costs. As customer growth and inflation occur and SCE&G continues its ongoing construction program, SCE&G expects to seek increases in rates. SCE&G's future financial position and results of operations will be affected by its ability to obtain adequate and timely rate and other regulatory relief.

        On July 1, 2004 SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting a 5.66 percent, or $81 million, increase in retail electric base rates. The electric rate request is largely associated with recovering construction and operating costs for SCE&G's new Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which began commercial operation on May 1, 2004, and mandatory environmental upgrades primarily related to Federal Clean Air Act regulations. SCE&G's rate request does not include costs associated with construction of the new backup dam at Lake Murray. SCE&G is also seeking approval from the SCPSC to apply current and anticipated net synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray. Hearings on this request will be held in November 2004 and an order is expected by year end. If approved, the new rates would go into effect in January 2005.

        The following table summarizes how SCE&G generated and used funds for property additions and construction expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions of dollars
	2004		2003
Net cash provided from operating activities	$	138	$	244
Net cash provided from financing activities		44		150
Cash and temporary cash investments available at the beginning of the period		56		23
Funds used for utility property additions and construction expenditures, net of noncash allowance for funds used during construction	$	212	$	343
Funds used for investments		8		8

        SCE&G's issuance of various securities, including long-term and short-term debt, is subject to customary approval or authorization by state and federal regulatory bodies including state public service commissions and the SEC. The following describes the financing programs currently utilized by SCE&G.

        In June 2004 SCE&G entered into new five-year revolving committed credit facilities totaling $525 million. These new lines of credit replaced $475 million in existing committed credit facilities. At

51

June 30, 2004 SCE&G had available the following lines of credit and short-term borrowings outstanding:

(Millions)
Lines of credit:
	Committed	$	525
	Uncommitted		78	(1)
Short-term borrowings outstanding:
	Commercial paper (270 or fewer days)		168
	Weighted average interest rate		1.30	%

⁽¹⁾

Either SCE&G or SCANA may use this uncommitted line.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS

        On February 11, 2004 GENCO issued $100 million of senior secured promissory notes maturing February 1, 2024 and bearing a fixed interest rate of 5.49%. Proceeds from this issuance were used to support GENCO's construction program and to repay intercompany advances borrowed for that purpose.

        In May 2004 SCE&G borrowed $23.6 million under an agreement with the South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (the Bank) and the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) that allows SCE&G to borrow funds from the Bank to construct a roadbed for SCDOT in connection with the Lake Murray Dam remediation project. The loan agreement provides for interest-free borrowings for costs incurred not to exceed $59 million with such borrowings being repaid over ten years from the initial borrowing. At June 30, 2004 SCE&G had $23.6 million outstanding under the agreement.

        On July 15, 2004 SCE&G retired at maturity $100 million of first mortgage bonds bearing interest at 7.70%.

CAPITAL PROJECTS

        In May 2004 SCE&G's 875 megawatt Jasper County Electric Generating Station began commercial operation. The $450 million facility includes three natural gas combustion-turbine generators and one steam-turbine generator. Approximately $276 million of the capital expenditures have been included in rate base, and the remainder is included in the rate case previously discussed.

        In October 1999 FERC mandated that SCE&G reinforce its Lake Murray Dam in order to comply with new federal safety standards. Construction for the project and related activities, which began in the third quarter of 2001, is expected to cost approximately $275 million and be completed in 2005. Costs incurred through June 30, 2004 totaled approximately $216 million. See also previous rate case discussion.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

        For information on environmental matters see Note 5C to condensed consolidated financial statements.

52

OTHER MATTERS

Nuclear Station

        In April 2004 the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved SCE&G's application for a 20-year license extension for its V. C. Summer Nuclear Station (Summer Station). The extension allows the plant to operate through August 6, 2042.

Synthetic Fuel

        SCE&G holds two equity-method investments in partnerships involved in converting coal to non-conventional fuel, the use of which fuel qualifies for federal income tax credits. The aggregate investment in these partnerships as of June 30, 2004 is approximately $5 million, and through June 30, 2004, they have generated and passed through to SCE&G approximately $114 million in synthetic fuel tax credits. At June 30, 2004 SCE&G has recorded on its balance sheet $82 million net deferred tax benefits, which includes the effects of partnership losses.

        Under a plan approved by the SCPSC, any tax credits generated by the partnerships and ultimately passed to SCE&G from synfuel produced for and consumed by SCE&G, net of partnership losses and other expenses, have been and will be deferred and will be applied to offset the capital costs of projects required to comply with legislative or regulatory actions. See Note 1B to condensed consolidated financial statements. As discussed previously, SCE&G's rate case will seek SCPSC approval to apply current and anticipated net synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray.

        In March 2004 S.C. Coaltech No. l L.P. received a "No Change" letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to its synthetic fuel operations for the tax year 2000. After review of testing procedures, supporting documentation and conducting independent investigation, the IRS found that the partnership produces a qualifying fuel under section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code and found no reason to challenge the first placed-in-service status of the facility. This letter supports SCANA's position that the synthetic fuel tax credits have been properly claimed.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        All financial instruments held by SCE&G and GENCO described below are held for purposes other than trading.

        Interest rate risk—The table below provides information about long-term debt issued by SCE&G and GENCO which is sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. Fair values for debt represent quoted market prices.

As of June 30, 2004	Expected Maturity Date
Millions of dollars	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	There- after	Total	Fair Value
Liabilities
Long-Term Debt:
Fixed Rate ($)	139.2	189.2	169.9	39.2	39.2	1,821.9	2,398.6	2,339.8
Average Interest Rate (%)	7.46	7.37	8.51	6.86	6.86	6.03	6.42

        While a decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt, it is unlikely that events which would result in a realized loss will occur.

53

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        As of June 30, 2004 an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of SCE&G's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of SCE&G's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, SCE&G's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that as of June 30, 2004 SCE&G's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in SCE&G's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect SCE&G's internal control over financial reporting.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NORTH CAROLINA, INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2004
(Unaudited)

        The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated's (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. These are interim financial statements, and due to the seasonality of the Company's business, the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the year. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported.

1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A.    Basis of Accounting

        The Company accounts for its regulated utility operations, assets and liabilities in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." SFAS 71 requires cost-based rate-regulated utilities to recognize in their financial statements certain revenues and expenses in different time periods than do enterprises that are not rate-regulated. As a result, the Company has recorded as of June 30, 2004 approximately $21 million and $98 million of regulatory assets (including environmental) and liabilities, respectively. Information relating to regulatory assets and liabilities follows.

Millions of dollars	June 30, 2004			December 31, 2003
Excess deferred income taxes	$	(2	)		—
Over-collections-gas cost adjustment clause, net		(3	)	$	(1	)
Deferred environmental remediation costs		9			9
Non-legal asset retirement obligations		(81	)		(77	)
Total	$	(77	)	$	(69	)

        Excess deferred income taxes represent deferred income taxes recorded in prior years at a rate higher than the current statutory rate. Pursuant to a North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) order, the Company is required to refund these amounts to customers through a rate decrement.

        Over-collections-gas cost adjustment clause, net represents amounts over-collected from customers pursuant to the Company's Rider D mechanism approved by the NCUC. This mechanism allows the Company to recover all prudently incurred gas costs.

        Deferred environmental remediation costs represent costs associated with the assessment and clean-up of manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites currently or formerly owned by the Company. A portion of the costs incurred has been recovered through rates. Approximately $2.5 million in costs have been incurred and deferred for subsequent rate consideration. (See Note 4.) Management believes that all MGP cleanup costs will be recoverable through gas rates.

        Non-legal asset retirement obligations represent net collections through depreciation rates of estimated costs to be incurred for the future retirement of assets for which no legal retirement obligation exists.

        The NCUC has reviewed and approved through specific orders most of the items shown as regulatory assets. Other items represent costs which are not yet approved for recovery by the NCUC.

59

In recording these costs as regulatory assets, management believes the costs will be allowable under existing rate-making concepts that are embodied in rate orders received by the Company. However, ultimate recovery is subject to NCUC approval. In the future, as a result of deregulation or other changes in the regulatory environment, the Company may no longer meet the criteria for continued application of SFAS 71 and could be required to write off its regulatory assets and liabilities. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial position in the period the write-off would be recorded.

B.    Total Comprehensive Income

        Total comprehensive income was not significantly different from net income for any period reported. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of the Company totaled $(0.6) million and $(0.9) million as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, respectively.

C.    Reclassifications

        Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted for 2004.

2.     RATE AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

        The Company's rates are established using a benchmark cost of gas approved by the NCUC, which may be modified periodically to reflect changes in the market price of natural gas. The Company revises its tariffs with the NCUC as necessary to track these changes and accounts for any over- or under-collections of the delivered cost of gas in its deferred accounts for subsequent rate consideration. The NCUC reviews the Company's gas purchasing practices annually.

        The Company's benchmark cost of gas in effect during the period January 1, 2003 through June 30, 2004 was as follows:

Rate Per Therm		Effective Date
$	.460	January-February 2003
	.595	March 2003
	.725	April-November 2003
	.600	December 2003-June 2004

        On June 1, 2004 the Company filed testimony in the 2004 Annual Prudence Review related to the 12 months ended March 31, 2004. The NCUC will hold a hearing on August 10, 2004 to review the Company's filing.

        For service rendered on and after March 1, 2004, the NCUC authorized the Company to implement decrements in its sales and transportation rate schedules to reflect a decrease of approximately $5.7 million in the Company's annual fixed gas costs as well as the current over-recovery of approximately $16.5 million.

        A state expansion fund, established by the North Carolina General Assembly and funded by refunds from the Company's interstate pipeline transporters, provides financing for expansion into areas that otherwise would not be economically feasible to serve. In June 2000 the NCUC approved the Company's requests for disbursement of up to $28.4 million from the Company's expansion fund to extend natural gas service to Madison, Jackson and Swain Counties in western North Carolina. The final phase of this project was completed and placed in service in April 2004 at a total cost of approximately $29.7 million.

        In December 1999 the NCUC issued an order approving SCANA Corporation's acquisition of the Company. As specified in the order, the Company agreed to a moratorium on general rate cases until

60

August 2005. General rate relief can be obtained during this period to recover costs associated with material adverse governmental actions and force majeure events.

3.     LONG-TERM DEBT

        In June 2004 the Company entered into a new five-year revolving committed credit facility totaling $125 million which replaced an existing 364-day committed credit facility.

4.     FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        The Company follows the guidance required by SFAS 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, in accounting for derivatives, including those arising from cash flow hedges related to natural gas. The Company also utilizes swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. These transactions are more fully described in Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 2003 Form 10-K.

        The Company utilizes hedging activities for natural gas purchases. Transaction fees and any realized gains or losses are recorded in deferred accounts for subsequent rate consideration. As of June 30, 2004 the Company had deferred net costs of approximately $1.5 million.

        The Company also utilizes swap agreements to manage interest rate risk. At June 30, 2004 the estimated fair value of the Company's swaps totaled $1.0 million (gain) related to combined notional amounts of $29.9 million.

5.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company is responsible for environmental cleanup at five sites in North Carolina on which MGP residuals are present or suspected. The Company's actual remediation costs for these sites will depend on a number of factors, such as actual site conditions, third-party claims and recoveries from other potentially responsible parties. The Company has recorded a liability and associated regulatory asset of approximately $6.8 million, which reflects the estimated remaining liability at June 30, 2004. Amounts incurred and deferred to date that are not currently being recovered through gas rates are approximately $2.5 million. Management believes that all MGP cleanup costs will be recoverable through gas rates.

61

6.     SEGMENT OF BUSINESS INFORMATION

        Gas Distribution is the Company's only reportable segment. Gas Distribution uses operating income to measure profitability. Intersegment revenues were not significant.

Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NORTH CAROLINA, INCORPORATED
MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management's Narrative Analysis of Results of Operations appearing in Public Service Company of North Carolina, Incorporated's (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, PSNC Energy) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        Statements included in this narrative analysis (or elsewhere in this quarterly report) which are not statements of historical fact are intended to be, and are hereby identified as, "forward-looking statements" for purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Readers are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and that actual results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) that the information is of a preliminary nature and may be subject to further and/or continuing review and adjustment, (2) regulatory actions or changes in the utility regulatory environment, (3) changes in the economy, especially in PSNC Energy's service territory, (4) the impact of competition from other energy suppliers, including competition from alternate fuels in industrial interruptible markets, (5) growth opportunities, (6) the results of financing efforts, (7) changes in PSNC Energy's accounting policies, (8) weather conditions, especially in areas served by PSNC Energy, (9) performance of SCANA Corporation's (SCANA) pension plan assets and the impact on PSNC Energy's results of operations, (10) inflation, (11) changes in environmental regulations and (12) the other risks and uncertainties described from time to time in PSNC Energy's periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. PSNC Energy disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements.

Net Income and Distributions/Dividends

        Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased $4.0 million compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to decreased margin of $2.0 million, higher operating expenses of $2.3 million and lower other income of $2.0 million, partially offset by lower income taxes of $2.5 million.

        The nature of PSNC Energy's business is seasonal. The quarters ending June 30 and September 30 are generally PSNC Energy's least profitable quarters due to decreased demand for natural gas related to space heating requirements.

        PSNC Energy's Board of Directors has authorized the following distributions/dividends on common stock held by SCANA during 2004:

Declaration Date	Amount		Quarter Ended	Payment Date
February 19, 2004	$	4.0 million	March 31, 2004	April 1, 2004
April 29, 2004	$	3.5 million	June 30, 2004	July 1, 2004
July 29, 2004	$	3.0 million	September 30, 2004	October 1, 2004

63

Gas Distribution

        Gas distribution is comprised of the local distribution operations of PSNC Energy. Changes in the gas distribution sales margins were as follows:

		Six Months Ended June 30,
Millions of dollars
		2004		Change		2003
Operating revenues		$	295.4	3.7	%	$	284.9
Less: Gas purchased for resale			195.9	6.8	%		183.4
	Margin	$	99.5	(2.0	)%	$	101.5

        Gas distribution sales margin for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased primarily due to a decline in customer usage per degree-day of approximately $4.0 million, partially offset by customer growth of approximately $2.6 million.

Operation and Maintenance Expenses

        Operation and maintenance expenses increased $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to increased labor and benefits costs of $1.4 million and increased administrative and general business expenses of $0.9 million.

Other Income

        Other income decreased $2.0 million compared to the same period in 2003 primarily due to a $1.0 million loss recognized on the sale of PSNC Energy's former corporate headquarters in Gastonia, North Carolina, decreased equity in earnings of affiliates of $0.3 million and decreased interest income of $0.5 million on amounts under-collected from customers through the operation of the Rider D mechanism. This mechanism allows PSNC Energy to recover all prudently incurred gas costs.

Income Taxes

        Income taxes changed primarily as a result of changes in operating and other income.

Capital Expansion Program and Liquidity Matters

        PSNC Energy's capital expansion program includes the construction of lines, systems and facilities and the purchase of related equipment. PSNC Energy's 2004 construction budget is approximately $51 million, compared to actual construction expenditures through June 30, 2004 of $26.4 million. PSNC Energy's ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the 12 months ended June 30, 2004 was 3.06.

        In June 2004 PSNC Energy entered into a new five-year revolving committed credit facility totaling $125 million. At June 30, 2004 PSNC Energy had no outstanding short-term borrowings.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

        As of June 30, 2004 an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of PSNC Energy's management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of PSNC Energy's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, PSNC Energy's management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that as of June 30, 2004 PSNC Energy's disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There has been no change in PSNC Energy's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2004 that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect PSNC Energy's internal control over financial reporting.

64

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        On July 1, 2004 SCE&G filed an application with the SCPSC requesting a 5.66 percent, or $81 million, increase in retail electric base rates. The electric rate request is largely associated with recovering construction and operating costs for SCE&G's new Jasper County Electric Generating Station, which began commercial operation on May 1, 2004, and mandatory environmental upgrades primarily related to Federal Clean Air Act regulations. SCE&G's rate request does not include costs associated with construction of the new backup dam at Lake Murray. SCE&G is also seeking approval from the SCPSC to apply current and anticipated synthetic fuel tax credits to offset the cost of constructing the back-up dam at Lake Murray. Hearings on this request will be held in November 2004 and an order is expected by year end. If approved, the new rates would go into effect in January 2005.

        In January 2003, in conjunction with the approval of a retail rate increase, the SCPSC deferred action on the recovery of certain purchased power costs pending the resolution of the appeal of the SCPSC's May 2002 order. In May 2002 the SCPSC approved SCE&G's request to increase the fuel component of rates charged to electric customers, which reflected higher fuel costs projected for the period May 2002 through April 2003. The increase also provided continued recovery for under-collected actual fuel costs through April 2001, including short-term purchased power costs necessitated by outages at two of SCE&G's base load generating plants in winter 2000-2001. The Consumer Advocate of South Carolina (Consumer Advocate) appealed to the South Carolina Circuit Court (Circuit Court) the portion of the SCPSC's order related to the recovery of certain purchased power costs. The Circuit Court ruled that the current fuel clause only provides for the recovery of the fuel costs included in purchased power and not the total cost of the power purchased. The Circuit Court remanded the case to the SCPSC for final disposition. In February 2004 the General Assembly of South Carolina clarified the definition of the fuel clause to include the total cost of power purchased. In April 2004 the SCPSC approved a stipulation agreement between the Consumer Advocate and SCE&G whereby SCE&G would be allowed to defer for recovery in a future rate proceeding the approximately $25.6 million of purchased power costs not allowed to be recovered through the fuel clause. Such costs are among the issues included in the rate request discussed previously.

        On May 17, 2004, the Company was served with a putative class action lawsuit styled as Douglas E. Gressette, individually and on behalf of other persons similarly situated v. South Carolina Electric & Gas Company and SCANA. The case was filed in South Carolina's Court of Common Pleas for the Ninth Judicial Circuit. The Plaintiff alleges the Company made improper use of certain easements and rights-of-way by allowing fiber optic communication lines and/or wireless communication apparatuses to transmit communications other than the Company's electricity-related internal communications. Plaintiff asserts causes of action for unjust enrichment, trespass, injunction and declaratory judgment. Plaintiff did not assert a specific dollar amount for the claims. The Company believes its actions are consistent with governing law and the applicable documents granting easements and rights-of-way. The Company intends to mount a vigorous defense and believes that the resolution of these claims will not have a material adverse impact on its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

        The Company, SCE&G and PSNC Energy are engaged in various claims and litigation incidental to their business operations which management anticipates will be resolved without material loss to the Company. The status of matters previously disclosed in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for 2003 have not changed significantly unless noted above.
