NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A. Tampa Electric Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of
TECO Energy, Inc.
B. The company has made certain commitments in connection with
its construction program. Total construction expenditures are
estimated to be $228 million for 1994 and $781 million during the
1995-1998 period. The estimate for the 1995-1998 period is
$100 million less than the amount shown in the company's Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended June 30, 1994. This reduction is a result of
a continuing review of engineering and construction requirements
and does not affect the company's generation expansion program.
C. As reported in the 1993 Form 10-K, the Florida Public Service
Commission (FPSC) issued an order on March 25, 1994 that changed
the company's authorized regulatory rate of return on common equity
to an 11.35 percent midpoint with a range of 10.35 percent to 12.35
percent, while leaving in effect the rates it had previously
established. The FPSC also ordered a $4-million annual accrual to
establish an unfunded storm damage reserve for transmission and
distribution property. In addition, the FPSC ordered the company
to prepare a study of the appropriate amount to be accrued annually
and the appropriate balance for this storm damage reserve. The
study was filed with the FPSC in September 1994 with a staff
recommendation expected in early 1995.
On July 18, 1994, the FPSC issued an order approving an
agreement between its staff and the company to cap the company's
authorized regulatory rate of return on common equity at
12.45 percent for calendar year 1994 only. The company expects
that any earnings above the 12.45 percent cap would be used to
increase the storm damage reserve.
- 7 -
FORM 10-Q
D. As reported in the 1993 Form 10-K, in February 1993 the FPSC
approved a settlement agreement between the company and Public
Counsel that resolved all issues related to prices for coal
purchased in the years 1990 through 1992 by the company from its
affiliate, Gatliff Coal Company, a subsidiary of TECO Coal. The
company refunded $10 million plus interest to its customers through
the fuel adjustment clause over a 12-month period beginning April
1, 1993. In the first quarter of 1993, the company recorded a one-
time $10-million pretax charge associated with this settlement
under the caption "Other income (expense), net".
E. In September 1994, the company, as part of its continuing
cost-control initiative, offered voluntary early retirement
packages to about 400 employees; it will accept up to 250. In
addition, other position eliminations and cost restructurings are
being implemented. A one-time charge for these programs estimated
to be between $24 million and $26 million will be recorded in the
fourth quarter of 1994.
F. Certain Dec. 31, 1993 amounts on the balance sheet 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
In the following discussion, all comparisons are with the
corresponding items and periods in the prior year.
Three months ended Sept. 30, 1994:
Net income for 1994's third quarter was $44 million,
$2 million higher than in 1993. Lower operation and maintenance
expense in 1994 was partially offset by a decline in retail energy
sales.
Third quarter 1994 revenues were $1 million lower due to lower
retail energy sales which more than offset the impact of the FPSC-
approved $16-million annual price increase effective in January
1994. Non-fuel revenues from sales to other utilities were $.5
million lower than in 1993.
Total retail energy sales were 2 percent lower with unusually
wet weather affecting the residential sector during the quarter.
Customer growth for the period was 1.9 percent.
Combined fuel and purchased power expense increased
$.6 million due to the timing of the recognition of fuel expense
under the FPSC-approved fuel adjustment clause.
Operation-other and maintenance expenses decreased $2 million
due to adjustments to the storm damage reserve in the current
quarter, which more than offset higher employee-related expenses,
additional accruals for self-insurance liability reserves and
increased expenses for regulatory activity.
The increase in depreciation of $1 million was due to normal
plant additions.
- 9 -
FORM 10-Q
Income tax expense was the same as in the prior year as higher
pre-tax income was offset by the adjustment recognized in the third
quarter of 1993 to reflect the increase in corporate income tax
rates to 35 percent retroactive to Jan. 1, 1993. Income taxes
were provided at the 35 percent tax rate for 1994.
Taxes, other than income were down $2 million for the period,
mainly from an adjustment of property taxes.
Interest expense, excluding allowance for borrowed funds used
during construction, was slightly lower due to savings from the
company's refinancing of over $240 million of long-term debt in
mid-1993, lower short-term debt balances and lower FPSC-approved
interest rates for customer deposits.
- 10 -
FORM 10-Q
Nine months ended Sept. 30, 1994:
Net income for the nine-month period ended Sept. 30, 1994 was
$97 million, $14 million higher due to increased retail energy
sales, higher retail prices and the $10 million pretax charge ($6
million after tax) recorded in the first quarter of 1993 associated
with the coal pricing settlement discussed in Note D on page 8.
Revenues increased $50 million, or 6 percent, the result of
higher retail energy sales and the FPSC-approved $16-million price
increase effective Jan. 1, 1994. Non-fuel revenues from sales to
other utilities declined $1 million, or 5 percent, as lower-priced
oil- and gas-fired generation available on other electric systems
continued to depress these sales.
Total retail energy sales were up 4 percent, reflecting an
improving economy, more favorable weather and customer growth of
1.8 percent.
Combined fuel and purchased power expense increased
$20 million due to the accounting for deferred fuel expense
consistent with the FPSC-approved fuel adjustment clause.
Operation-other and maintenance expenses increased
$16 million, or 9 percent, reflecting higher employee-related
expenses, accruals to the storm damage reserve and additional
accruals for self-insurance liability reserves.
As discussed in Note E on page 8, in September 1994, the
company, as part of its continuing cost-control initiative, offered
voluntary early retirement packages to about 400 employees; it will
accept up to 250. In addition, other position eliminations and
cost restructurings are being implemented. A one-time charge for
these programs estimated to be between $24 million and $26 million
will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 1994. The payback period
resulting from reduced operating expense is expected to be
approximately two years.
- 11 -
FORM 10-Q
The increase in depreciation expense of $3 million was due to
normal plant additions.
Income tax expense increased $5 million, or 10 percent, due to
higher pretax income.
Taxes, other than income were up $2 million for the period
mainly from higher revenue-related taxes, which are included in
customers' bills, partially offset by lower property taxes.
Interest expense, excluding allowance for borrowed funds used
during construction, was $3 million lower due to savings from the
company's refinancing of over $240 million of long-term debt in
mid-1993 and lower FPSC-approved interest rates on customer
deposits.
- 12 -
FORM 10-Q
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Changes in Financial Condition
Net receivables increased $17 million from Dec. 31, 1993,
reflecting seasonal variations in electric billings.
Deferred fuel expense of $14 million at year end was
essentially all recovered during the nine-month period ended
Sept. 30, 1994.
Other deferred credits increased $20 million from year end due
to the accounting for deferred fuel revenues consistent with the
FPSC-approved fuel adjustment clause and accruals to the storm
damage reserve and other liability reserves.
As discussed in Note C on pages 7 and 8, the FPSC issued an
order on March 25, 1994 that changed the company's authorized
regulatory rate of return on common equity to an 11.35 percent
midpoint with a range of 10.35 percent to 12.35 percent, while
leaving in effect the rates it had previously established. The
FPSC also ordered a $4-million annual accrual to establish an
unfunded storm damage reserve for transmission and distribution
property. In addition the FPSC ordered the company to prepare a
study of the appropriate amount to be accrued annually and the
appropriate balance for this storm damage reserve. The study was
filed with the FPSC in September 1994 with a staff recommendation
expected in early 1995.
On July 18, 1994, the FPSC issued an order approving an
agreement between its staff and the company to cap the company's
authorized regulatory rate of return on common equity at
12.45 percent for calendar year 1994 only. The company expects
that any earnings above the 12.45 percent cap would be used to

As discussed in Note B on page 7, estimated construction
expenditures for the 1995-1998 period are $100 million less than
the amount shown in the company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 1994. This reduction is a result of a continuing review
of engineering and construction requirements and does not affect
the company's generation expansion program.
