SOUTHERN INDIANA GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. GENERAL
It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
Company's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders.
The consolidated statements are on the basis of interim
figures and are subject to audit and adjustments. These
financial statements include the accounts of Southern
Indiana Gas and Electric Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Southern Indiana Properties, Inc., Lincoln
Natural Gas Company, Inc., Energy Systems Group, Inc.
(Energy) and Southern Indiana Minerals, Inc. (SIMI), and
include all adjustments which are in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial
position and results of operations. Energy and SIMI were
incorporated during the second quarter of 1994. Because of
seasonal and other factors, the earnings for the three
months ending March 31, 1995 should not be taken as an
indication for all or any part of the balance of 1995.
2. UTILITY PLANT
Utility plant is stated at the historical original cost
of construction. Such cost includes payroll-related costs
such as taxes, pensions and other fringe benefits, general
and administrative costs, and an allowance for the cost of
funds used during construction (AFUDC), which represents the
estimated debt and equity cost of funds capitalized as a
cost of construction. While capitalized AFUDC does not
represent a current source of cash, it does represent a
basis for future cash revenues through depreciation and
return allowances. The weighted average AFUDC rates (before
income taxes) used by the Company for the three months
ending March 31, 1995 and 1994 were 7.8% and 9.6%,
respectively.
3. CASH FLOW INFORMATION
For the purposes of the Consolidated Balance Sheets and
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
The Company, for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and 1994 paid interest (net of amounts capitalized) of
$1,842,000 and $1,406,000, respectively, and income taxes of
$289,000 and $2,693,000, respectively. Additionally the
Company is involved in several partnerships which are
partially financed by partnership obligations amounting to
$10,200,000 and $12,881,000 at March 31, 1995 and December
31, 1994, respectively.
4. LONG-TERM DEBT
On May 1, 1995, the interest rate on $31,500,000 of
Adjustable Rate Pollution control bonds was changed from
3.50% to 4.60%. The new interest rate, 4.60% will be fixed
through April 30, 1996. For financial statement
presentation the $31,500,000 of Adjustable Rate Pollution
Control bonds are shown as a current liability.
On July 1, 1994, the interest rate on $9,975,000 of
Adjustable Rate Pollution Control Bonds was changed from
5.75% to 4.60%. The new interest rate, 4.60%, will be fixed
through June 30, 1997.
5. ACQUISITION OF LINCOLN
On June 30, 1994, the Company completed its acquisition
of Lincoln Natural Gas Company, Inc. (Lincoln), a small gas
distribution company with approximately 1,300 customers
contiguous to the eastern boundary of the Company's gas
service territory. The Company issued 49,399 of common
stock for all the common stock of Lincoln. This transaction
was accounted for as a pooling of interests; therefore,
prior financial statements have been restated to reflect
this merger.

6. OPERATING REVENUES - ACCOUNTING CHANGE
The Company previously recognized electric and gas
revenues when customers were billed on a cycle billing
basis. The utility service rendered after monthly meter
reading dates through the end of a calendar month (unbilled
revenues) became a part of operating revenues in the
following month. To more closely match revenues with
expenses, effective January 1, 1995, the Company changed its
method of accounting to accrue the amount of revenue for
sales unbilled at the end of each month. The cumulative
effect of the change on prior years, net of income taxes, is
included in net income for 1995. The effect of the change
for the quarter was to increase net income $3.2 million
($.20 per share), of which a decrease of $3.1 million ($.20
per share) is reflected in operations, and an increase of
$6.3 million ($.40 per share), the cumulative effect of the
change as of January 1, 1995 is reported as a separate
component of net income. Summarized below is the proforma
effect of this change, as if the change had been effective

SOUTHERN INDIANA GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
OPERATING REVENUES
Electric revenue was $8.3 million (12%) lower during the
first quarter compared to the same period in 1994, primarily
due to decreased nonsystem electric sales. Winter
temperatures in the Company's service territory, when
measured in heating degree days, were 15% warmer than the
same period the prior year and 14% below normal. Nonsystem
sales, which typically have much lower per unit sales
margins than system sales, were down 51% compared to the
first quarter of 1994 when the Company sold a substantial
amount of power to one nonassociated utility. Total system
sales were relatively unchanged although residential and
commercial sales declined 5% and 1%, respectively; a rise in
industrial sales offset the decreases.
A change in accounting method adopted by the Company
January 1, 1995 to record revenues for gas and electric
energy delivered to customers, but unbilled at the end of
each month, effected a $2.7 million reduction in electric
revenues for the three month period ending March 31, 1995.
(Refer to the following "Change In Accounting Method" and
to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
for further discussion of this accounting change and the
$6.3 million positive adjustment to net income for the
cumulative effect of the change as of January 1, 1995.)
In addition to the impact of fewer billed sales and the
change in accounting method, recovery of lower average fuel
and purchased power costs during the current quarter caused
related revenues to decline $2.5 million. Changes in the
cost of fuel for electric generation and purchased power are
passed on to customers through commission approved fuel cost
adjustments.
Other changes in electric revenues included the impact
of the second step, approximately 2.3% overall, of the
Company's electric rate increase effective June 29, 1994.
The changes in electric revenue are shown below:

(Decrease) in system sales (MWh) (23,897)
(Decrease) in nonsystem sales (MWh) (228,651)
11
A 24 % decline in average unit costs of gas sold, which is
passed on to customers through commission approved gas cost
adjustments, was the major reason for a $12 million (33%)
decrease in gas revenues during the current quarter. The
considerably milder winter temperatures nationwide created
excess spot market gas supplies, causing downward pressure
on market prices.
The warmer weather resulted in lower residential and
commercial sales; billed sales to these customers were down
12% and 10%, respectively. Additionally, industrial gas
sales decreased 9% due to fewer requirements of those
customers.
The Company's adoption of the unbilled revenues method
of accounting effective January 1, 1995 resulted in a $2.3
million reduction in gas revenues. (Refer to the following
"Changes In Accounting Method" and to Note 6 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of
this accounting change and the $6.3 million positive
adjustment to net income for the cumulative effect of the
change as of January 1, 1995.)
Although the Company's base retail gas rates have
increased overall about 4% since August 1994 when the second
step of its two-step retail rate increase became effective,
the impact of the adjustment during the first quarter of
1995 was offset by changes in sales mix and other factors.
The changes in gas revenues are shown below:

Period in 1994

reduction due to change in accounting method) (5,600)
Other (73)
$(11,973)
(Decrease) in total throughput (MDth) (979)
OPERATING EXPENSES
Fuel for electric generation decreased $5.7 million
(23%) during the current quarter due to a 14% decrease in
generation resulting from the reduction in nonsystem sales
activity and due to the lower per unit fuel costs.
Similarly, cost of gas sold declined $7.4 million (29%)
during the first three months of 1995 due to the decline in
spot market prices and fewer unit deliveries.
Higher other operation expenses and depreciation expense
reflected the February 1, 1995 commercial operation of the
Company's $103 million investment to comply with the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990, primarily its sulfur dioxide
scrubber. (See "Clean Air Act" in Item 7 of Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition in the Company's 1994 Form 10-K report
for further discussion.) Other operation expenses also
reflected increased employee benefit costs and increases in
various other operating expenses.
12
Federal and state income taxes on operations were down
$4.6 million chiefly due to a $9.2 million decline in pre-
tax operating income and to a $1.2 million reduction in
income taxes resulting from settlement of the Company's most
recent IRS audit.
OTHER INCOME
Other income was relatively unchanged during the
reporting period despite much lower allowance for equity
funds used during construction, the result of the completed
construction of the Company's new sulfur dioxide scrubber
and other equipment required to comply with the Clean Air
Act Amendments of 1990 (previously discussed). Other income
during the first quarter included the sale to another
utility of the Company's 1995 allotment of "bonus" sulfur
dioxide emission allowances (also called "extension
allowances") granted by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Company has an agreement with the utility to sell to it
essentially all of the Company's allotment of "bonus"
allowances for the five year period beginning 1995.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING METHOD
Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted the
unbilled revenue method of accounting to accrue the amount
of revenue for sales delivered but unbilled at the end of
each month to more closely match revenues with expenses.
Previously, the Company recognized electric and gas revenues
when customers were billed on a cycle billing basis. The
utility service rendered after monthly meter reading dates
through the end of a calendar month became part of operating
revenues in the following month. The unbilled revenue
method of accounting is a utility industry norm; few
utilities remain on the cycle billing method.
The adoption of this new method of accounting in the
first quarter of 1995 reduced electric and gas operating
revenues of $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Net of income taxes, these reductions represent a $3.1
million (20 cents per common share) decrease in net income.
The cumulative effect of this change in accounting method as
of January 1, 1995, net of income taxes, was $6.3 million
(40 cents per common share) and is reported as a separate
component of net income for 1995. The net effect of the
change for the quarter was a $3.2 million (20 cents per
common share) increase in net income. (See Note 6 of Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion
of this accounting change and the impact of the change on
prior periods on a proforma basis.)
EARNINGS
Earnings per share of common stock for the first quarter
rose nine cents (10%) compared to the same period in 1994.
The increase resulted from the 20 cents per share net
increase due to the change to the unbilled revenue method of
accounting, the sale of "bonus" emission allowances and the
reduction in income taxes, all of which were partially
offset by the impact of lower gas and electric sales and
higher operating expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's demand for capital is primarily related to
its construction of utility plant and equipment necessary to
meet customers' electric and gas energy needs, as well as
environmental compliance requirements, and to expenditures
for the Company's demand side management (DSM)
programs. Construction expenditures (excluding allowance
for other funds used during construction) and demand side
management program expenditures incurred during the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 totaled $10 million, representing an
$8.3 million decrease from the same period in 1994 when the
Company's new "scrubber" was under construction. These
expenditures were fully funded during the current period
with internally generated cash. The Company anticipates
continued financial stability during the remainder of 1995
and is presently faced with no liquidity problems.
13
The Company estimates that construction expenditures for
the five year period 1995-1999 will total approximately $230
million, including approximately $47 million to develop and
implement DSM programs; however, anticipated changes in the
electric industry and other factors may require changes to
the level of future DSM expenditures. (See "Demand Side
Management" in Item 7 of Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition in
the Company's 1994 Form 10-K report for further discussion).
Although the Company expects the majority of the
construction requirements and an estimated $90 million in
debt security and other long-term obligation redemptions to
be provided by internally generated funds, an additional
$55-70 million of external financing is anticipated to meet
such requirements.
OTHER MATTERS
All hearings have been completed on the Company's third
and final step of a requested adjustment in base electric
rates, primarily to recover the construction and operating
costs of its Clean Air Act Compliance project. A decision
is anticipated by mid-year.
On April 10, 1995 the Company executed a contract buyout
settlement with the Ziegler Coal Company for the Company's
remaining long-term coal contract which originally ran
through 1998. Under the settlement, the Company will pay
Ziegler $45.5 million during the second quarter of 1995, of
which approximately $29 million will have been escrowed by
July 15, 1995, the revised contract termination date. The
remaining $16.5 million will be recovered form utility
customers during the balance of 1995 and 1996. The Company
anticipates a $58 million net savings in fuel expense as a
result of the buyout. Due to the regulatory treatment of
the buyout payment and the resulting fuel expense savings,
the contract settlement will have no impact on financial
results.
