1. The Company's Notes to Financial Statements in the Allegheny

the year ended December 31, 1995, should be read with the
accompanying financial statements and the following notes.
With the exception of the December 31, 1995, balance sheet in
the aforementioned annual report on Form 10-K, the accompanying
financial statements appearing on pages 3 through 5 and these
notes to financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of
the Company, such financial statements together with these
notes thereto contain all adjustments (which consist only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
Company's financial position as of June 30, 1996, the results
of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995.
2. The Statement of Income reflects the results of past operations
and is not intended as any representation as to future results.
For purposes of the Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows,
temporary cash investments with original maturities of three
months or less, generally in the form of repurchase agreements,
are considered to be the equivalent of cash.
3. Common stock dividends per share declared and paid during the
periods for which income statements are included are as
follows:
1996 1995
1st 2nd 1st 2nd

ALLEGHENY GENERATING COMPANY
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
WITH SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
The changes in revenues and net income are primarily
due to a continuing reduction in the Company's net plant (the major
component of rate base). As a result of the April 4, 1996 settlement
agreement which is described below, the Company's Return on Equity (ROE)
decreased from 11.2% to 11%, with resultant decreases in revenues and net
income.
The decrease in other interest for the six months ended
June 1996 was due to the prior year reflecting interest paid on the
revenue refund pursuant to the March 23, 1995 settlement agreement
described below.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's discussion on Liquidity and Capital
Resources and Results of Operations in the Allegheny Power System
companies' combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995, should be read with the following information.
On December 21, 1995, the Company submitted a
negotiated settlement to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
to address the Company's return on equity (ROE) effective after 1995.
Interested parties representing less than 2% of the Company's eventual
revenues filed exceptions. On February 20, 1996, the FERC instituted an
investigation of the proposed rate. Subsequently, the parties who filed
exceptions removed their exceptions and accepted the settlement agreement
provided for a 1996 return on equity of 11% and an ROE adjustment
mechanism for future years.
In July 1996, the Company filed a request with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for authority to pay common dividends
from time to time through December 31, 2001, out of capital or unearned
surplus, to the extent permitted under applicable corporation law and any
applicable financing agreements which restrict distributions to
shareholders. Due to the nature of being a single asset company with
declining capital needs, the Company systematically reduces capitalization
each year as its asset depreciates. This has resulted in the payment of
dividends in excess of current earnings and the reduction of retained
earnings. The Company's practice is to retire debt and pay dividends in
amounts necessary to maintain a 45% common equity position. The payment
of dividends out of capital surplus will not be detrimental to the
financial integrity or working capital of either the Company or its
parents, nor will it adversely affect the protections due debt security
holders.
