                      SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               September 30, 1995  
                                   (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, 1994.  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 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.  Basis of Accounting:

     The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with the
     provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 71 (SFAS
     71), "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulations." 
     The accounting standard allows cost-based rate-regulated utilities,
     such as the Company, to recognize in their financial statements
     revenues and expenses in different time periods than do enterprises
     that are not rate-regulated.  As a result, the Company has recorded,
     as of September 30, 1995, approximately $110 million and $3
     million of regulatory assets and liabilities, respectively, excluding
     net accumulated deferred income tax assets of approximately  $50
     million.  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 would 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 operation 
     in the period the write-off is recorded.  The Company's cash flows 
     would not be affected.


     C.  Recently Issued Accounting Standard

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
     Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  The
     provisions  of  the  Statement, which  must  be  implemented  by  the 
     Company for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1996, require the
     recognition of a loss in the income statement and related disclosures
     whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
     amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable.  The Company does
     not believe that adoption of the provisions of the Statement will have
     a material adverse impact on its results of operations or financial
     position.

     D.  Reclassifications:

     Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform
     with the 1995 presentation.

2.   RATE MATTERS:

     With respect to rate matters at September 30, 1995, 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,
     1994.  On July 10, 1995, the Company filed an application with the
     Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSC) for an increase in
     retail electric rates.  The proposed increase of 8.35% would produce
     additional revenues of approximately $76.7 million annually, if
     approved.  The Company has requested that the increase be implemented
     in two phases.  The first phase, an increase in revenues of
     approximately $61.8 annually, or 6.73%, would commence at the time the
     Company's 385 MW generating station currently under construction  near
     Cope, S. C. begins commercial operation, which is expected in January
     1996.  The second phase is planned in January 1997 and would produce
     additional revenues of approximately $14.9 million annually, or 1.62%
     more than current rates.  No assurance can be given as to the adequacy
     or timing of the rate relief that will be granted by the PSC. 
     Hearings are scheduled to begin during November 1995.  

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, 1995 approximately $15.1 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, 1995, 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, 1994.  No significant changes have occurred with respect
     to those matters as reported therein.

     Contingencies at September 30, 1995 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 $8.9 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 be 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 American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) and Nuclear Electric
     Insurance Limited (NEIL) providing combined primary and excess
     property and decontamination insurance coverage of $1.9 billion for
     any losses at Summer Station. The Company pays annual premiums and, in
     addition, could be assessed a retrospective premium assessment not to
     exceed 7.5 times its annual premium in the event of property damage
     loss to any nuclear generating facility covered under the NEIL
     program.  Based on the current annual premium, this retrospective
     premium assessment would not exceed $8.2 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
     material adverse impact on the Company's financial position and
     results of operations.

     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 $19.2 million) and are being amortized and
     recovered through rates over a ten-year period for electric operations
     and an eight-year period for gas operations.

     In September 1992 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified
     the Company, the City of Charleston and the Charleston Housing
     Authority of their potential liability for the investigation and
     cleanup of the Calhoun Park Area Site in Charleston, South Carolina. 
     This site originally encompassed approximately 18 acres and included
     properties which were the locations for industrial operations,
     including a wood preserving (creosote) plant and one of the Company's
     decommissioned manufactured gas plants.  The original scope of this
     investigation has been expanded to approximately 30 acres including
     adjacent properties owned by the National Park Service and the City of
     Charleston, and private properties.  The site has not been placed on
     the National Priority List, but may be added before cleanup is
     initiated.  The potentially responsible parties (PRP) have agreed with
     the EPA to participate in an innovative approach to site investigation
     and cleanup called "Superfund Accelerated Cleanup Model," allowing the
     pre-cleanup site investigations process to be compressed
     significantly.  The PRPs have negotiated an administrative order by
     consent for the conduct of a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study
     (RI/FS) and a corresponding Scope of Work.  Actual field work began
     November 1, 1993 after final approval and authorization was granted by
     EPA.  The Company is also working with the City of Charleston to
     investigate potential contamination from the manufactured gas plant
     which may have migrated to the city's aquarium site.  In 1994 the City
     of Charleston notified the Company that it considers the Company to be
     responsible for a projected $43.5 million increase in costs of the
     aquarium project allegedly attributable to delays resulting from
     contamination of the Calhoun Park area site.  The Company believes it
     has meritorious defenses against this claim and does not expect its
     resolution to have a material impact on its financial position or
     results of operations.

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

General

Competition

     The electric utility industry has begun a major transition that could
lead to expanded market competition and less regulatory protection.  Future
deregulation of electric wholesale and retail markets will create
opportunities to compete for new and existing customers and markets.  As a
result, profit margins and asset values of some utilities could be
adversely affected.  The pace of deregulation, the future market price of
electricity, and the regulatory actions which may be taken by the Public
Service Commission of South Carolina (PSC) in response to the changing
environment cannot be predicted.  However, the Company is aggressively
pursuing actions to position itself strategically for the transformed
environment.

     Regulated public utilities are allowed to record as assets some costs
that would be expensed by other enterprises.  If deregulation or other
changes in the regulatory environment occur, the Company may no longer be
qualified to apply this accounting treatment and may be required to
eliminate such regulatory assets from its balance sheet.  Such an event
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of
operations.  The Company reported approximately $110 million and $3
million of regulatory assets and liabilities, respectively, excluding
amounts related to net accumulated deferred income tax assets of approximately
$50 million, on its balance sheet at September 30, 1995.  The Company's cash 
flows would not be affected. 

              Material Changes in Capital Resources and Liquidity
                 From December 31, 1994 to September 30, 1995

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.

     On July 10, 1995, the Company filed an application with the PSC for an
increase in retail electric rates.  The proposed increase of 8.35% would
produce additional revenues of approximately $76.7 million annually, if
approved.  The Company has requested that the increase be implemented in two
phases.  The first phase, an increase in revenues of approximately $61.8
annually, or 6.73%, would commence at the time the Company's 385 MW
generating station currently under construction  near Cope, S. C. begins
commercial operation, which is expected in January 1996.  The second phase is
planned in January 1997 and would produce additional revenues of
approximately $14.9 million annually, or 1.62% more than current rates.  No
assurance can be given as to the adequacy or timing of the rate relief that
will be granted by the PSC.  Hearings are scheduled to begin during November
1995.

     The following table summarizes how the Company generated funds for its
utility property additions and construction expenditures during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994:

Net cash available for utility property 
  additions and construction expenditures       $251,743     $317,170

     On April 12, 1995 the Company issued $100 million of First Mortgage
Bonds, 7 5/8% series due April 1, 2025 to repay short-term borrowings.  

     The Company anticipates that the remainder of its 1995 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, 1995 was 3.38.

     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.

Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."  The provisions  of  the 
Statement, which  must  be  implemented  by  the  Company for the fiscal year
beginning January 1, 1996, require the recognition of a loss in the income
statement and related disclosures whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be
recoverable.  The Company does not believe that adoption of the provisions of
the Statement will have a material adverse impact on its results of
operations or financial position.

                  SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
                         Results of Operations
         For the Three and Nine months ended September 30, 1995
           As Compared to the Corresponding Periods in 1994

Earnings and Dividends

     Net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased approximately $7.4 million and $13.8 million, respectively,
compared to the corresponding periods in 1994.  Increases in electric and gas
margins more than offset increases in fixed operating costs.

     Allowance for funds used during construction (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 7%
and 5% of income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994, respectively.

     On February 14, 1995 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
payment of a dividend on common stock of approximately $28.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The dividend was paid on April 1, 1995 to
SCANA Corporation, the Company's parent.

     On April 27, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
payment of a dividend on common stock of $29.7 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1995.  The dividend was paid on July 1, 1995 to SCANA Corporation,
the Company's parent.

     On August 23, 1995 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
payment of a dividend on common stock of $31.4 million for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.   The dividend was paid on October 1, 1995 to SCANA
Corporation, the Company's parent.

     On October 17, 1995 the Company's Board of Directors authorized the
payment of a dividend on common stock of $31.7 million for the quarter ending
December 31, 1995.  The dividend is payable January 1, 1996 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, 1995, when compared to the corresponding periods in 1994,
were as follows:

     The electric sales margin increased for the three months ended September
30, 1995 compared to the corresponding period in 1994 primarily as a result
of increased sales attributable to warmer weather.  For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the increase in the electric margin over the comparable
1994 period is a result of the combined impact of warmer weather in the third
quarter of 1995, improved economic conditions and the base rate increase
received by the Company in mid-1994, which more than offset the negative
impact of milder weather experienced during the first half of 1995.

     The changes in the gas sales margins for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, when compared to the corresponding periods in 1994, were
as follows:

     The increases in the gas sales margins for the three and nine months
reflect increases in interruptible industrial sales.

Other Operating Expenses

     Increases (decreases) in other operating expenses, including taxes, for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the
corresponding periods in 1994 are presented in the following table:

     Other operation and maintenance expenses for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1995 remained slightly below 1994 levels primarily as a
result of lower costs at electric generating stations.  Increases in
depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine months'
comparisons reflect additions to plant in service.  The increases in income
tax expense for the two periods correspond to the increases in operating
income.  The increases in other taxes reflect higher property taxes resulting
from higher millages and assessments partially offset by lower payroll taxes
resulting from early retirements of employees.

Interest Charges

     Interest expense, excluding the debt component of AFC, for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased $3.8 million and $13.5 million
respectively, compared to the corresponding periods of 1994.   The increases
are due primarily to the issuance of additional debt, including commercial
paper, during the latter part of 1994 and early 1995.
