COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES.
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COSTS - CIPS (Central Illinois Public
Service Company) and certain of its predecessors and other
affiliates operated facilities in the past for manufacturing gas
from coal. In connection with manufacturing gas, various by-
products were produced, some of which remain on sites where the
facilities were located. CIPS has identified 13 of these former
manufactured gas plant sites (environmental remediation sites)
which contain potentially harmful materials. Under directives
from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA), CIPS
has incurred costs and associated legal expenses related to the
investigation and remediation of the sites.
One site was added to the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (USEPA) Superfund list on August 30, 1990. On September
30, 1992 the IEPA, in consultation with the USEPA, decided that
the long-term remedial plan for this site should consist of a
ground water pump-and-treat program. The IEPA and CIPS entered
into an agreement, which received approval by the court on March
14, 1994, for CIPS to carry out the remedial action with the IEPA
providing oversight. It is not known at this time what specific
remedial action will be required at the other 12 sites.
In 1987, CIPS filed a lawsuit against a number of insurance
carriers seeking full indemnification for all costs in connection
with certain environmental sites. CIPS has now settled the
lawsuit with most of the insurance carriers.
The estimated incurred costs related to studies and remediation
at these 13 sites and associated legal expenses are being accrued
and deferred rather than expensed currently, pending recovery
through rates, from insurance carriers or from other parties.
The total amount deferred represents costs incurred and estimates
for costs of completing studies at various sites and an estimate
of remediation costs at the Superfund site. At March 31, 1994
the amounts recovered have exceeded the aggregate amount
deferred.
In 1992, the Illinois Commerce Commission (the "Illinois
commission") issued an Order (the "Generic Order") in its
consolidated generic proceeding initiated on March 6, 1991,
regarding appropriate ratemaking treatment of cleanup costs
incurred by Illinois utilities with respect to environmental
remediation sites. The Generic Order indicates that allowed
cleanup costs may include prudently incurred costs of
investigation, assessment and cleanup of environmental
remediation sites, as well as litigation costs including those
involved in insurance recovery claims. The Generic Order
10
authorizes utilities, including CIPS, to propose a mechanism to
recover cleanup costs which is consistent with the provisions of
the order. Such a mechanism must, among other things, provide
for (1) recovery of cleanup costs over a five-year period,
excluding carrying costs associated with the unrecovered balance
of cleanup costs from the time that the recovery mechanism
becomes effective; (2) a return to ratepayers over a five-year
amortization period of any reimbursement of cleanup costs
received from insurance carriers or other parties; and (3) a
prudence review of each utility's expenditures. The Generic Order
was upheld on appeal by the Third District Illinois Appellate
Court. That decision held that a rate rider mechanism is an
appropriate means for utilities to recover cleanup costs. The
case has been appealed to the Illinois Supreme Court by an
intervenor that maintains that no recovery of cleanup costs
should be allowed and that, if allowed, a rate rider mechanism is
not the proper means of providing recovery. CIPS cannot predict
what action the Illinois Supreme Court will take in this matter.
On March 26, 1993 the Illinois commission approved CIPS' proposed
environmental cost-recovery rate riders, effective with April
1993 billings to customers. Known as the electric environmental
adjustment clause and the gas environmental adjustment clause,
the riders are designed to enable CIPS to recover from its
customers costs associated with cleanup of the environmental
remediation sites, along with associated legal expenses, over a
five year period on terms consistent with the Generic Order. The
environmental adjustment clause riders provide for an annual
review of amounts recovered through the riders. Amounts found to
have been incorrectly included would be subject to refund.
Through December 31, 1993, CIPS had collected $2.6 million from
its customers pursuant to the riders. Pursuant to monthly
filings made by CIPS under the riders, no additional amounts have
been collected from customers under the riders since January
1994. On April 6, 1994, the Illinois commission initiated a
reconciliation proceeding to review CIPS environmental
remediation activities and determine whether the level of
revenues collected by the riders is consistent with the amount of
remediation costs prudently incurred.
Total cost to be incurred for the cleanup of these sites or the
possible recovery from insurance carriers and other parties
cannot be estimated. Management believes that any costs incurred
in connection with the sites that are not recovered from
insurance carriers or other parties will be recovered through
utility rates. Accordingly, management believes that costs
incurred in connection with these sites will not have a material
adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations
of CIPS.
FERC ORDER 636 - During 1992, the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") issued a series of orders that require
substantial restructuring of the service obligations of
interstate pipeline suppliers. These orders (together called
Order 636) required mandatory unbundling of existing pipeline gas
sales services. Mandatory unbundling requires pipelines to sell
separately the various components previously included with gas
sales services (i.e., storage, transport, capacity sales, etc.).
11
Order 636 provides a mechanism for pipelines to recover four
categories of transition costs associated with restructuring
their gas sales services.
Based on currently available information contained in the various
interstate pipeline Order 636 compliance filings, CIPS estimates
that the total amount of transition costs to be incurred by CIPS
is approximately $10 million of which $3 million has been paid.
At March 31, 1994, CIPS had recorded a liability and a related
deferred gas cost for that portion of the transition costs that
will be billed to CIPS regardless of future pipeline services.
The Illinois commission issued an order in March 1994 permitting
retail gas distribution companies, including CIPS, full recovery
through rates of Order 636 transition costs. On May 4, 1994, the
Illinois commission granted rehearing of the order. CIPS
believes that the rehearing will be limited to a determination of
the proper allocation of transition costs among customer classes.
CIPS cannot predict whether the Illinois commission's final order
in this matter will be appealed.
CLEAN AIR ACT - CIPS' compliance strategy to meet the sulfur
dioxide emission reduction requirements of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 (Amendments) includes complying with Phase I
of the Amendments by switching to a lower sulfur coal at some of
its units. Phase II compliance will be accomplished by
additional fuel switching at various units and by increased
scrubbing with its existing scrubber at Newton Unit 1. Phase I
and Phase II emission provisions of the Amendments become
effective in 1995 and 2000, respectively.
CIPS estimates that total capital costs, primarily for
modifications to boilers, precipitators, coal handling
facilities, and continuous monitoring equipment for
implementation of this compliance strategy, will be less than $50
million in total including amounts spent to date. Operating
costs are not expected to change materially. Compliance costs
could result in electric base rate increases of approximately one
to two percent by the year 2000.
In 1991, in accordance with the plan to switch some units to
lower sulfur coal, CIPS signed a long-term coal contract with an
existing supplier for lower sulfur Illinois coal. Due to the
magnitude of the supplier's capital investment, the contract
includes a graduated termination charge. In 1994, CIPS can
terminate the contract under certain conditions, and CIPS would
be required to pay up to $41 million (plus an inflation
adjustment) in termination charges. Each year subsequent to 1994
the termination charge is reduced according to a formula using
tons of coal purchased. The termination charge would not be
effective if CIPS terminated the contract due to the failure of
the coal to meet quality specifications provided for in the
contract.
LABOR DISPUTES - The International Union of Operating Engineers
Local 148 and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
Local 702 each filed unfair labor practice charges in 1993 with
the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) relating to the
12
legality of the lockout by CIPS of both unions during 1993. The
Peoria Regional Office of the NLRB has issued a complaint against
CIPS concerning its lockout of IBEW-702 represented employees.
However, the Peoria Regional Office did not find merit to a
similar charge filed by IUOE 148 and it was dismissed. The IUOE
148 has appealed the dismissal within the NLRB. Both unions
seek, among other things, back pay and other benefits for the
period of the lockout. CIPS estimates the amount of back pay and
other benefits for both unions to be less than $12 million.
Management believes the lockout was both lawful and reasonable
and that the final resolution of the disputes will not have a
material adverse effect on financial position or results of
operations.
OTHER ISSUES - The Company is involved in other legal and
administrative proceedings before various courts and agencies
with respect to rates, taxes, gas and electric fuel cost
reconciliations, service area disputes, environmental and other
matters. Although unable to predict the outcome of these
matters, management believes that appropriate liabilities have
been established and that final disposition of these actions will
have no material adverse effect on the results of operations or
the financial position of the Company.
CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE - On January 1, 1994, CIPSCO
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (SFAS No. 115). Under the statement, the Company's
investments in debt and marketable securities are reported at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a net
amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity until
realized. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 did not have a material
effect on financial position or results of operation.
13
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
THE OUTLOOK
CIPS currently estimates that its total construction expenditures
for the 1994-1998 period will be about $431 million, including
about $4 million of allowance for funds used during construction.
In addition to funds for construction, projected capital
requirements for the 1994-1998 period include $93 million for
scheduled debt retirements. Capital requirements for the 1994-
1998 period are expected to be provided primarily through
internally generated funds. External financing to fund scheduled
debt retirements may be required.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Financial condition and total capitalization for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 have changed as follows:

The utility transported approximately 40 million therms of customer-owned gas
in the first quarter of 1994 and 41 million therms in the first quarter of
1993. Transportation revenues were higher in 1993 because of the greater
volume transported at a higher average rate.
Other Operation: Other operation expense increased 16% primarily due to
nonrecurring expenses related to the settlement of labor disputes.
Maintenance: Maintenance expense increased 22% due to the timing of power
station maintenance, for which similar projects did not occur in the first
quarter of 1993.
Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization increased due to
normal plant additions.
Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Utility revenue taxes increased because of
increased revenue.
Interest Charges and Preferred Dividends: Interest charges and preferred
dividends decreased 7% in 1994 due to refinancings made in 1993 which lowered
interest and dividend rates.

ceiling such that as to future employment contracts, no senior
executive or director of the Company receive combined salary and
other compensation which is more than two times the salary
provided to the President of the United States."
(2) Shareholder Proposal No. 2 - "Take the necessary steps to insure
that any increase in salary and/or compensation in future
employment contracts for senior executives and directors be no
greater percentage-wise than the increase in dividends paid to
the Stockholders."
(3) Shareholder Proposal No. 3 - "In the future refrain from entering
into agreements providing executive compensation contingent on a
change in control of the Company unless such agreements or
arrangements are specifically submitted to the shareholders for
approval."

Item 5. Other Information
On March 23, 1994, final court approval was granted to the settlement
agreement between CIPS and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
Local 702 ("IBEW 702") dismissing a lawsuit previously filed by IBEW 702
concerning the labor dispute.
Currently, dry fly ash material produced by the coal-fired generating units at
the Coffeen Power Station is hauled by truck to an off-site disposal area
under terms of an agreement between CIPS and the owner of the disposal site.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (the "Agency") has notified the
owner that some remediation of the site may be required. An engineering study
of the area is in progress. The final resolution of this matter is not
expected to be material to the results of operations or the financial position
of the Company.
