NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. T a m pa Electric Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of
TECO Energy, Inc.
B. The company has made certain commitments in connection with its
continuing construction program. Total construction expenditures are
estimated to be $320 million for 1995, excluding allowance for funds
used during construction.
C. On May 2, 1995, the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC), in
a proposed agency action, voted to approve a plan submitted by the
company to increase the authorized rate of return on average common
equity (ROE) to 11.75 percent with a range of 10.75 percent to 12.75
percent and to defer $15 million of revenues for 1995 and additional
amounts related to levels of earned ROE. The company would be limited
to a maximum of 12.75 percent regulatory ROE for 1995. Also as part
of its proposed agency action, the FPSC voted to eliminate the
company's oil backout tariff effective Jan. 1, 1996. See additional
discussion on page 9.
D. Certain 1994 amounts on the statements of cash flows have been
restated to comply with the current year presentation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 1995:
Net income of $24.9 million for 1995's first quarter was
$3 million higher than the year-earlier quarter primarily due to
higher energy sales. These results were net of $7.4 million of
deferred revenues, as discussed on page 9. Operating income for 1995's
first quarter was 9 percent higher than in 1994, as higher revenues
and l ower operations-other expense more than offset higher
depreciation expense, and property and payroll taxes.
Revenues increased $9 million in the first quarter of 1995,
reflecting an almost 3-percent increase in retail energy sales
because of more normal weather in the current quarter and a continuing
strong local economy. Customer growth of 1.8 percent, slightly higher
than in 1994's first quarter, also contributed to higher revenues.
Energy sales to other utilities more than doubled from 1994's first
quarter as a result of normal weather and more competitive coal
prices. Non-fuel revenues from energy sales to other utilities were
$8.4 million, $.7 million higher than in 1994's period.
Combined fuel and purchased power expense increased $7.2 million
from the prior year's first quarter reflecting higher total energy
sales which more than offset the effects of lower fuel costs per unit.
- 7 -
FORM 10-Q
Operation-other expense decreased $2.8 million, or 7 percent,
mainly because of self-insurance liability accruals required in the
first quarter of 1994 and the impact in 1995 of reduced costs as a
result of the 1994 corporate restructuring program.
The increase in depreciation expense of $.7 million was due to
normal plant additions.
Income tax expense increased $.5 million or 5 percent from the
prior year's first quarter, reflecting higher pretax income.
Interest expense, excluding allowance for borrowed funds used
during construction, was 10 percent higher than in 1994's first
quarter, primarily due to higher rates on short-term and variable-rate
debt.

FORM 10-Q
Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition
On May 2, 1995 the FPSC in a proposed agency action voted to
approve a plan submitted by the company to increase its allowed ROE to
11.75 percent with a range of 10.75 percent to 12.75 percent and to
defer revenues under certain financial circumstances related to these
returns. For 1995, a minimum of $15-million of revenues will be
deferred as well as 50 percent of any actual revenues contributing to
an ROE in excess of 11.75 percent up to a net earned ROE of 12.75
percent and all actual revenues contributing to an ROE exceeding 12.75
percent. The deferred revenues, which would accrue interest at the 30-
day commercial paper rate specified in the Florida Administrative
Code, would be credited against the company's revenue requirements to
be determined in a future regulatory proceeding. As of March 31, 1995,
the company had deferred $7.4 million in revenues.
Also as part of its proposed agency action, the FPSC voted to
eliminate the company's oil backout tariff effective Jan. 1, 1996.
This tariff currently results in about $12 million of revenues
annually.
The FPSC issued its order on May 10, 1995. The order will become
effective on June 1, 1995, 21 days after issuance, unless an affected
party intervenes.
As described in the company's Current Report on Form 8-K, dated
April 25, 1995, Moody's Investor's Service lowered the senior and
subordinate debt ratings of the company one level to Aa2 and Aa3 from
Aa1 and Aa2, respectively. Moody's also changed its ratings outlook to
"stable" from "negative."

FORM 10-Q
Moody's P-1 short-term debt rating for the commercial paper
program of the company was unchanged.
In March 1995, Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. upgraded the
company's first mortgage bond rating to AA+ from AA and the
subordinate debt rating to AA from AA-.
