                   SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           September 30, 1994  
                               (Unaudited)

     The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the  Company's  Annual 
Report  on  Form  10-K  for  the  year  ended December 31, 1993.  These are
interim financial statements and, because of temperature variations between
seasons of the year, the amounts reported in the 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.  Principles of Consolidation:

        The Company, a public utility, is a South Carolina corporation
        organized in 1924 and a wholly owned subsidiary of SCANA
        Corporation (SCANA), a South Carolina holding company. The
        accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts
        of the Company and South Carolina Fuel Company, Inc. (Fuel
        Company), an affiliate.  Intercompany balances and transactions
        between the Company and Fuel Company have been eliminated in
        consolidation.

        The assets of the former Peoples Natural Gas Company of South
        Carolina, which were owned by SCANA and operated by the Company,
        were transferred to the Company on January 1, 1994.  The
        transaction did not have a significant impact on the Company's
        financial position or results of operations.

        The Company has entered into agreements with certain affiliates to
        purchase gas for resale to its distribution customers and to
        purchase electric energy.  The Company purchases all of its natural
        gas requirements from South Carolina Pipeline Corporation.  The
        Company purchases all of the electric generation of Williams
        Station, which is owned by South Carolina Generating Company, Inc.,
        under a unit power sales agreement.  Such unit power purchases are
        included in "Purchased power."

        B.  Reclassifications:

        Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to
        conform with the 1994 presentation.

2.   RATE MATTERS:

        With respect to rate matters at September 30, 1994, reference is
        made to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the
        Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
        31, 1993.  No changes have occurred with respect to those matters
        as reported therein except as shown below.


        On May 18, 1994 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
        ordered the Company to refund certain amounts to its wholesale
        customers.  The refund was ordered because the retail rate on which
        wholesale rates were based  had been reduced and refunds had been
        made to retail customers in response to an order of the South 
        Carolina  Public  Service  Commission (PSC) issued on January 19,
        1993.  The Company refunded $1.1 million, including interest, to
        its wholesale customers on July 28, 1994.


        In June 1994 the Company placed into effect the second phase of the
        retail electric rate increase approved by the PSC on June 7, 1993. 
        The new  rates  will  produce  an  increase in electric operating
        revenue of $18.5 million annually, based on a test year.


        On June 6, 1994 the PSC issued an order denying the Company's
        request that the $.40 fare for low income riders of the Company's
        transit system be eliminated.  The Company has appealed the PSC's
        order to the South Carolina Circuit Court.



7






       On October 27, 1994 the PSC issued an order approving the Company's
       request to recover through a billing surcharge to its gas customers
       the costs of environmental cleanup at the sites of former
       manufactured gas plants.  The billing surcharge, which goes into
       effect with the first billing cycle in November 1994, provides for
       the recovery of approximately $16.2 million representing
       substantially all site assessment and cleanup costs for the
       Company's gas operations that had previously been deferred (see Note
       4B).

3.   RETAINED EARNINGS:

       The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company and the
       Indenture underlying certain of its bond issues contain provisions
       that may limit the payment of cash dividends on common stock.  In
       addition, with respect to hydroelectric projects, the Federal Power
       Act may require the appropriation  of  a portion  of the earnings
       therefrom.  At September 30, 1994 approximately $12.5 million of
       retained earnings were restricted as to payment of dividends on
       common stock.

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

       With respect to commitments at September 30, 1994, reference is made
       to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial  Statements  appearing 
       in  the  Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
       December 31, 1993.  No significant changes have occurred with
       respect to those matters as reported therein.


       Contingencies at September 30, 1994 are as follows:

       A.  Nuclear Insurance

       The Price-Anderson Indemnification Act, which deals with the
       Company's public liability for a nuclear incident, currently
       establishes the liability limit for third-party claims associated
       with any nuclear incident at $9.4 billion.  Each reactor licensee is
       currently liable for up to $79.3 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.  The Company's maximum assessment, based
       on its two-thirds ownership of Summer Station, would not exceed
       approximately $52.9 million per incident but not more than $6.7
       million per year.

       The Company currently maintains policies (for itself and on behalf
       of the PSA) with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (NEIL) and
       American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) providing combined property and
       decontamination insurance coverage of $1.4  billion for  any losses
       in excess of $500 million pursuant to existing primary coverages
       (with ANI) on Summer Station. The Company pays annual premiums and,
       in addition, could be assessed a retroactive premium not to exceed
       7 1/2 times its annual premium in the event of property damage loss
       to any nuclear generating facilities covered by NEIL.  Based on the
       current annual premium, this retroactive premium would not exceed
       approximately $8.1 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 the
       Company's rates would not recover the cost of any purchased
       replacement power, the Company will retain the risk of loss as a
       self-insurer.  The Company has no reason to anticipate a serious
       nuclear incident at Summer Station.  If such an incident were to
       occur, it could have a materially adverse impact on the Company's
       financial position.


       B.  Environmental

       The Company has an environmental assessment program to identify and
       assess current and former operations sites that could require
       environmental cleanup.  As site assessments are initiated, an
       estimate is made of the amount of expenditures, if any, necessary
       to investigate and clean up each site.  These estimates are refined
       as additional information becomes available; therefore actual
       expenditures could significantly differ from the original
       estimates.  Amounts estimated and accrued to date for site
       assessment and cleanup relate primarily to regulated operations;
       such amounts have been deferred (approximately $20.8 million) and
       are being amortized and recovered through rates over a ten-year
       period (see Note 2).

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

           Material Changes in Capital Resources and Liquidity
               From December 31, 1993 to September 30, 1994

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The cash requirements of the Company arise primarily from its
operational needs and construction program.  The ability of the Company to
replace existing plant investment, as well as to expand to meet future
demands for electricity and gas, will depend upon its ability to attract
the necessary financial capital on reasonable terms.  The Company recovers
the costs of providing services through rates charged to customers.  Rates
for regulated services are based on historical costs.  As customer growth
and inflation occur and the Company expands its construction program it is
necessary to seek increases in rates.  As a result the Company's future
financial position and results of operations will be impacted by its
ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief.

     The following table summarizes how the Company generated funds for its
utility property additions and construction expenditures during the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993:

                                                 (Thousands of Dollars)

Net cash provided from operating activities     $227,493     $124,012
Net cash provided from financing activities       89,484       58,460 
Cash and temporary cash investments available
  at the beginning of the period                     193       24,302         
Net cash available for utility property 
  additions and construction expenditures       $317,170     $206,774         

                                              
Funds used for utility property additions 
  and construction expenditures, net of
  noncash allowance for funds used during
  construction                                  $323,231     $182,004         


     On July 21, 1994 the Company issued $100 million of First Mortgage
Bonds, 7.70% series due July 15, 2004 to repay short-term borrowings in a
like amount.  

     On November 3, 1994 the Company issued $30 million of Pollution Control
Facilities Revenue Bonds due November 1, 2024.  The proceeds from the sale of
the bonds will be used to defray the cost of constructing certain facilities
for the disposal of solid waste at the Company's Cope Generating Station
under construction in Orangeburg County, South Carolina.

     The Company anticipates that the remainder of its 1994 cash requirements
will be met primarily through internally generated funds, sales of additional
securities, additional equity contributions from SCANA and the incurrence of
additional short-term and long-term indebtedness.  The timing and amount of
such financings will depend upon market conditions and other factors.

     The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months ended
September 30, 1994 was 3.63.

     The Company expects that it has or can obtain adequate sources of
financing to meet its cash requirements for the next twelve months and for
the foreseeable future.

                 SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
                          Results of Operations
           For the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1994
                  As Compared to the Corresponding Period in 1993


Earnings and Dividends

     Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1994 decreased
approximately $3.4 million when compared to the corresponding period in 1993
primarily due to decreased electric sales margins in the third quarter of
1994.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 increased
approximately $8.1 million when compared to the corresponding period in 1994
primarily due to an increase in the electric sales margins.

     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.  Both
the equity and the debt portions of AFC are noncash items of nonoperating
income which have the effect of increasing reported net income.  AFC
represented approximately 3.2% and 2.6% of income before income taxes for the
three months ended September 30, 1994  and 1993, respectively, and 
approximately 5.1% and 5.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and
1993, respectively.

     On August 24, 1994 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
payment of a dividend on common stock of $29,000,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1994.  The dividend was paid on October 1, 1994 to SCANA
Corporation, the Company's parent.

Sales Margins

     The changes in the electric sales margins for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1994, when compared to the corresponding periods in 1993,
were as follows:

                                                                             
                                                                              
                                    Three Months            Nine Months 
                                 Change    % Change      Change   % Change    
                               (Millions)              (Millions)  

Electric operating revenues      $(9.7)     (3.2)        $28.6      3.9    
Less:  Fuel used in electric
         generation               (1.8)     (3.5)          9.2      7.3 
       Purchased power             0.1       0.2          (2.1)    (2.4)   

Margin                           $(8.0)     (3.6)        $21.5      4.2       


     The electric sales margin decreased for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 compared to the corresponding period in 1993 as a result
of decreased residential and commercial kilowatt hour sales due to milder
weather in 1994.  The electric sales margin increased for the nine months'
comparison primarily as a result of increased retail electric rates,
increased industrial sales and a general improvement in the economy.

     The changes in the gas sales margins for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1994, when compared to the corresponding periods in
1993, were as follows:

                                                                              
                                        Three Months           Nine Months 
                                      Change   % Change     Change    % Change
                                    (Millions)            (Millions)
 
Gas operating revenues                $7.1       29.1      $21.2       17.0  
Less:  Gas purchased for resale        5.7       33.3       15.9       21.1 
Margin                                $1.4       19.3      $ 5.3       10.8   

     The increases in the gas sales margins for the three and nine months
reflect increases in interruptible industrial sales and the transfer of the
operations of the former Peoples Natural Gas Company of South Carolina from
SCANA Corporation to the Company in January 1994.

Other Operating Expenses

     Increases  (decreases) in other  operating expenses, including  taxes, 
for the  three  and  nine  months  ended September 30, 1994 compared to the
corresponding periods in 1993 are presented in the following table:

Other operation and maintenance       $(1.2)     (1.7)      $ 5.4       2.7  
Depreciation and amortization           0.4       1.4         3.2       4.2  
Income taxes                           (6.3)    (17.1)        5.3       8.1

Total                                 $(6.4)     (4.3)      $14.5       3.7   


     While the increase in other operation and maintenance expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 is primarily due to increases in
employee benefit-related expenses, the decrease for the three months'
comparison results from a reduction in other employee-related expenses. 
The depreciation and amortization increases for the three and nine months
reflect additions to plant in service.  The decrease in income tax expense
for the three months' comparison corresponds to the decrease in income for
the third quarter.  The increase for the nine months' comparison reflects
the increase in operating income.
