              M. Susan Hardwick
        Vice President and Controller             (812)         491-4305
        ------------------------------            -----         --------
                   (Name)                      (Area Code)  (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the
     registrant was required to file much report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
     identify report(s). [X] Yes [ ]No

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
     the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
     earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion
     thereof? [X] Yes [ ] No

     If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively
     and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
     estimate of the results cannot be made.

     Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's 2001 financial statements, the
     Company's management determined that previously issued financial statements
     should be restated. The restatement will have the effect of decreasing net
     income for 2001 and 2000 by approximately $1.8 million and $0.7 million,
     respectively. The restatement will increase reported retained earnings as
     of January 1, 2000 by $2.9 million. These errors primarily related to gas
     inventory accounting, the proper clearing of employee benefit related costs
     routinely accumulated on the balance sheet, and other reconciliation errors
     and other errors related to the recording of estimates.
