Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations in the Companies' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1996.
On June 11, 1997, an agreement was reached between FirstEnergy Corp.
("FirstEnergy") and the City of Cleveland that provides the framework
for resolving transmission and distribution issues between Cleveland
Electric and Cleveland Public Power ("CPP"). FirstEnergy believes that
the agreement will enable both Cleveland Electric and CPP to better
serve their customers while enhancing opportunities for economic
development and growth within their respective service areas. In a
related development, an agreement was also reached with American
Municipal Power-Ohio ("AMP-Ohio") that forms a framework for resolving
certain transmission and operating issues. As a result of the
agreements, the City of Cleveland and AMP-Ohio will withdraw their
opposition to the pending merger of Centerior and Ohio Edison Company at
both the federal and state levels and all pending litigation involving
the City of Cleveland or CPP and the Companies will be stayed for 90
days to allow for settlement discussions.
