Item 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

(c)      Exhibits

              Exhibit 99.1          Press release dated July 23, 2004


Item 12.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

         On July 23, 2004, SCANA Corporation issued the press release attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The press release discloses a non-GAAP measure,
GAAP-adjusted net earnings from operations, which excludes from net income the
effects of sales of certain investments and impairment charges related to
certain investments. Management believes that GAAP-adjusted net earnings from
operations provides a meaningful representation of the Company's fundamental
earnings power and can aid in analysis of period-over-period financial
performance.
