Below is information concerning the consolidated results of operations for
Cinergy for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999. For information
concerning the results of operations for each of the other registrants for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, see the discussion under the heading
"Results of Operations" following the financial statements of each registrant.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Operating Revenues
Electric Operating Revenues
The components of electric operating revenues and the related KWh sales are
shown below:

---- ------ ------ -------
Total $942 $1,022 22,358 27,580
Electric operating revenues decreased $80 million (8%) for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, when compared to the same period for 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale
transactions related to energy marketing and trading operations and milder
weather. Partially offsetting the decline was an increase in the average price
per KWh for non-firm power customers, higher retail and firm power KWh sales
resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial
customers, and increased international operations.
Gas Operating Revenues
The components of gas operating revenues and the related mcf sales are shown
below:

Retail 52 49 6 6

---- ---- --- ---
Total $329 $142 138 62
Gas operating revenues increased $187 million in the second quarter of 1999,
when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the gas operating
revenues of CM&T, which was acquired in June 1998. Retail revenues increased
primarily due to an increase in sales by the non-regulated businesses.
Transportation revenues increased as more residential and commercial customers
continued to purchase gas directly from suppliers, using transportation services
provided by CG&E. This increase in transportation revenues was partially offset
by a decrease in mcf transportation volumes resulting from the loss of a large
industrial transportation customer during late 1998.
Other Revenues
Other revenues increased $1 million (31%) for the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
over the same period of 1998. This increase was primarily the result of
increased sales and new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's non-regulated
entities.

----
Fuel expense - June 30, 1999 $186
Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $175 million (40%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily
reflecting decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to others as a
result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in the energy marketing and
trading operations. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, a
favorable adjustment of $18 million after tax was recorded as a result of a
re-evaluation of transactions included in the trading portfolio as of December
31, 1998, at the time of adoption of EITF Issue 98-10. Also contributing to the
decline was the provision of $61 million of reserves for the energy marketing
and trading business recorded during the second quarter of 1998.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, increased $181 million, when
compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the gas purchased
expenses of CM&T, which was acquired in June 1998. Partially offsetting this
increase was a lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased.
Other Operation and Maintenance
The components of other operation and maintenance expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended
June 30
1999 1998
(in millions)
Other operation $172 $252
Maintenance 64 55
---- ----
Total $236 $307
Other operation expenses decreased $80 million (32%) for the quarter ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This decrease is primarily
due to the one-time charge of $80 million recorded during the second quarter of
1998, reflecting the implementation of a 1989 settlement of a dispute with the
WVPA. Also, during the second quarter of 1998, a provision of $4 million for
potential bad debts related to certain energy marketing and trading accounts was
recorded. This decrease was partially offset by the increased growth in expenses
associated with existing and new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's
consolidated non-regulated businesses.
Maintenance expenses increased $9 million (16%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period of 1998. This increase is due to an
increase in maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain
production facilities and other repairs performed at certain facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
The components of depreciation and amortization expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended
June 30
1999 1998

Depreciation $81 $74
Amortization of phase-in deferrals 6 6

--- ---
Total $88 $81
Depreciation expense increased $7 million (9%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to additions to
depreciable plant.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The $3 million (34%) increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated
subsidiaries for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
of 1998, is primarily attributable to an increase in the earnings of Avon Energy
resulting from increased profits related to Midlands' supply business and lower
costs of purchased electricity. On July 15, 1999, Cinergy and GPU completed a
transaction whereby GPU acquired Cinergy's 50% ownership interest in Avon
Energy, the parent company of Midlands. (See Note 12 of the "Notes to Financial
Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information.")

Electric operating revenues decreased $270 million (12%) for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, from the comparable period of 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale
transactions related to energy marketing and trading operations. Partially
offsetting the decline was an increase in the average price per KWh for retail
customers and non-firm power customers, higher retail and firm power KWh sales
resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial
customers, a return to more normal weather, and increased international
operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 1998.

---- ---- --- ---
Total $750 $327 319 104
Gas operating revenues increased $423 million for the six months ended June 30,
1999, when compared to the same period last year. This increase is primarily due
to the gas operating revenues of CM&T, which was acquired in June 1998.
Transportation revenues increased as customers continued the trend of purchasing
gas directly from suppliers, using transportation services provided by CG&E.
These increases were partially offset by a decline in retail sales due to a
lower cost per mcf purchased that was passed on to the customer, and a reduction
in the average number of retail, commercial, and industrial customers.
Other Revenues
Other revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1999, increased $9 million,
over the same period of 1998. This increase was primarily the result of
increased sales and new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's non-regulated
entities.

primarily reflecting decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to others
as a result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in the energy marketing and
trading operations. Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, a
favorable adjustment of $18 million after tax was recorded as a result of a
re-evaluation of transactions included in the trading portfolio as of December
31, 1998, at the time of adoption of EITF Issue 98-10. Also contributing to the
decline was the provision of $63 million of reserves for the energy marketing
and trading business recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the six months ended June 30, 1999, increased $408 million
when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the acquisition of
CM&T in June 1998, and its related gas purchased expense. Slightly offsetting
this increase is a lower average cost per mcf of gas paid by CG&E.
Other Operation and Maintenance

primarily due to the one-time charge of $80 million recorded during the second
quarter of 1998, reflecting the implementation of a 1989 settlement of a dispute
with the WVPA. This decrease was partially offset by the increased growth in
expenses associated with existing and new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's
consolidated non-regulated businesses.
Maintenance expenses increased $20 million (21%) for the six months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This increase is due to an
increase in maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain
production facilities and other repairs performed at certain facilities.

---- ----
Total $175 $161
Depreciation expense increased $12 million (8%) for the six months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to additions
to depreciable plant. Amortization of phase-in deferrals reflects the PUCO
ordered phase-in plan for Zimmer.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, the equity in earnings of unconsolidated
subsidiaries increased $36 million, as compared to the same period of last year.
This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in the earnings of Avon
Energy resulting from increased profits related to Midlands' supply business and
lower costs of purchased electricity. On July 15, 1999, Cinergy and GPU
completed a transaction whereby GPU acquired Cinergy's 50% ownership interest in
Avon Energy, the parent company of Midlands. (See Note 12 of the "Notes to
Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information.")
Preferred Dividend Requirements of Subsidiaries
The decrease in preferred dividend requirements of subsidiaries of $1 million
(28%) for the six months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of
1998, is primarily attributable to PSI's redemption of all outstanding shares of
its 7.44% Series Cumulative Preferred Stock on March 1, 1998.

Electric operating revenues decreased $63 million (12%) for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, when compared to the same period for 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale
transactions related to Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations.
Partially offsetting the decline was higher retail KWh sales resulting from
growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers.
Gas Operating Revenues

Gas operating revenues increased $4 million (8%) in the second quarter of 1999,
when compared to the same period last year. Transportation revenues increased as
more residential and commercial customers continued to purchase gas directly
from suppliers, using transportation services provided by CG&E.

Fuel expense - June 30, 1999 $76
Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $100 million (42%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This
decline primarily reflects decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to
others as a result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in Cinergy's energy
marketing and trading operations. Additionally, during the quarter ended June
30, 1999, a favorable adjustment of $9 million after tax was recorded as a
result of a re-evaluation of transactions included in the trading portfolio as
of December 31, 1998, at the time of adoption of EITF Issue 98-10. Also
contributing to the decline was the provision of $56 million of reserves for the
energy marketing and trading business recorded during the second quarter of
1998.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, decreased $1 million (6%),
when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in the
volume of gas purchased.
Other Operation and Maintenance
The components of other operation and maintenance expenses are shown below:

---- ----
Total $100 $105
Other operation expenses decreased $7 million (9%) for the quarter ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998. The decline is due primarily
to activities occurring in 1998 related to Year 2000 expenditures and other
transmission and underground line expenses which did not occur in 1999. Also,
during the second quarter of 1998, a provision of $2 million for potential bad
debts related to certain energy marketing and trading accounts was recorded.
Maintenance expenses increased $2 million (7%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to an increase in
maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain production
facilities and overhead line maintenance.
Depreciation and Amortization

Total $51 $48
Depreciation expense increased $2 million (5%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to additions to
depreciable plant.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $1 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily
attributable to an increase in miscellaneous non-utility revenues.

primarily due to decreased volumes on sales for resale transactions. There was
also a decrease in the average price per KWh paid for the corresponding
purchases of purchased and exchanged power described below. Offsetting the
decrease were higher retail KWh sales due to the return to more normal weather
and growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers.

mcf of gas purchased, which was passed on to end users, was the primary reason
for this decrease. Transportation revenues increased as residential and
commercial customers continued to purchase gas directly from suppliers, using
transportation services provided by CG&E. This increase in transportation
revenues was partially offset by a decrease in mcf transportation volumes
resulting from the loss of a large industrial customer during late 1998.

Fuel expense - June 30, 1999 $162
Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $225 million (47%) for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, when compared to the same period last year,
primarily reflecting decreased purchases of power for resale to others.
Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, a favorable adjustment of
$9 million after tax was recorded as a result of a re-evaluation of transactions
included in the trading portfolio as of December 31, 1998, at the time of
adoption of EITF Issue 98-10. Also contributing to the decline was the provision
of $57 million of reserves for the energy marketing and trading business
recorded during the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the six months ended June 30, 1999, decreased $19 million
(16%) when compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting a
decrease in the average cost per mcf of gas purchased.
Depreciation and Amortization
The components of depreciation and amortization expenses are shown below:
Six Months Ended

Total $101 $96
Amortization of phase-in deferrals reflects the PUCO ordered phase-in plan for
Zimmer.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is largely due to
an increase in miscellaneous non-utility revenues.
Interest
The decrease in interest expense of $3 million (6%) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, was due to decreases in
both interest on long-term debt and other interest expense. The decrease in
interest expense on long-term debt was primarily due to the maturity of
approximately $110 million of long-term debt in February 1999. The decrease in
other interest is due to a reduction in average short-term borrowings and lower
short-term interest rates.

---- ---- ------ ------
Total $463 $512 12,498 15,335
Operating revenues decreased $49 million (10%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, when compared to the same period for 1998. This decrease was primarily due
to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale transactions related to
Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations. Partially offsetting the
decline was an increase in the average price per KWh for retail customers and
higher retail and firm power KWh sales resulting from growth in the average
number of residential and commercial customers.

The components of fuel and purchased and exchanged power are shown below:

Fuel expense - June 30, 1999 $104
Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $94 million (41%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This
decline primarily reflects decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to
others as a result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in Cinergy's energy
marketing and trading operations. Additionally, during the quarter ended June
30, 1999, a favorable adjustment of $9 million after tax was recorded as a
result of a re-evaluation of transactions included in the trading portfolio as
of December 31, 1998, at the time of adoption of EITF Issue 98-10. Also
contributing to the decline was the provision of $5 million of reserves for the
energy marketing and trading business recorded during the second quarter of
1998.
Other Operation and Maintenance

---- ----
Total $117 $189
Other operation expenses decreased $79 million (49%) for the quarter ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998. This decrease is primarily due
to the one-time charge of $80 million recorded during the second quarter of 1998
reflecting the implementation of a 1989 settlement of a dispute with the WVPA.
Maintenance expense increased $7 million (25%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period of 1998. This increase is due to an
increase in maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain
production facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2 million (5%) for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to
additions to depreciable plant.
Interest
The $2 million (10%) decrease in interest expense for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily due to a decrease in
other interest expense resulting from a reduction in average short-term
borrowings and lower short-term interest rates.

Total operating revenues decreased $158 million (14%) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, when compared to the same period last year. This decrease was
primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale
transactions related to Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations.
Partially offsetting this decrease were increased volumes on retail sales and
firm sales and a higher average price per KWh received on retail and non-firm
sales for resale transactions. Also contributing to the increase were higher
retail KWh sales resulting from an increase in retail and industrial customers.

Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 1999, a favorable adjustment of
$9 million after tax was recorded as a result of a re-evaluation of transactions
included in the trading portfolio as of December 31, 1998, at the time of
adoption of EITF Issue 98-10. Also contributing to the decline was the provision
of $6 million of reserves for the energy marketing and trading business recorded

primarily due to the one-time charge of $80 million recorded during the second
quarter of 1998, reflecting the implementation of a 1989 settlement of a dispute
with the WVPA.
Maintenance expenses increased $13 million (28%) for the six months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998. The increase was primarily due
to an increase in production maintenance activities associated with planned
outages at certain production facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3 million (5%) for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily
due to additions to depreciable plant.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is due primarily to
a decrease in interest income and a decrease in the level of expenses associated
with the sales of accounts receivable.
Interest
The decrease in interest expense of $4 million (9%) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to a
decrease in other interest expense resulting from a reduction in average
short-term borrowings and lower short-term interest rates.
Preferred Dividend Requirement
The decrease in preferred dividend requirement of $1 million (31%) for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily
attributable to PSI's redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.44% Series
Cumulative Preferred Stock on March 1, 1998.

THE UNION LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER COMPANY
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Operating Revenues
Electric Operating Revenues
Electric operating revenues increased $7 million (17%) for the quarter ended
June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This increase primarily
reflects higher retail KWh sales resulting from growth in the average number of
residential and commercial customers and an increase in unbilled revenues.
Gas Operating Revenues
The components of gas operating revenues and the related mcf sales are shown
below:

Transportation 1,060 870 976 850
------ ------ ----- -----
Total $9,084 $8,626 2,075 2,038
Gas operating revenues increased $.5 million (5%) in the second quarter of 1999,
when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in the
price per mcf which was partially offset by a decrease in the volume of mcfs
sold.
Operating Expenses
Electricity Purchased from Parent Company for Resale
Electricity purchased increased $2 million (7%) for the quarter ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the same period last year. This increase reflects higher
volume purchased from CG&E.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, decreased $.6 million (15%),
when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a decrease in the
volumes of gas purchased.
Depreciation
Depreciation increased $.3 million (9%) for the quarter ended June 30, 1999, as
compared to the same period last year, due to additions to depreciable plant.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $80 thousand for the quarter
ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily due to
a decrease in the level of expenses associated with the sales of accounts
receivable.
Interest
The increase in interest expense of $.5 million (48%) for the quarter ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the net
issuance of approximately $30 million of long-term debt during the period of
April through December 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999
Operating Revenues
Electric Operating Revenues
Electric operating revenues increased $9 million (10%) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, from the comparable period of 1998. This increase primarily
reflects higher retail KWh sales resulting from growth in the average number of
residential and commercial customers and an increase in unbilled revenues.

Gas operating revenues increased $5 million (13%) for the six months ended June
30, 1999, when compared to the same period of last year. An increase in mcf
volumes sold and used per customer primarily attributed to the revenue increase.
Operating Expenses
Electricity Purchased from Parent Company for Resale
Electricity purchased increased $5 million (7%) for the six months ended June
30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This increase reflects
higher volumes purchased from CG&E.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the six months ended June 30, 1999, increased $.4 million
(2%), when compared to the same period in 1998. This increase reflects an
increase in the volumes and average cost per mcf of gas purchased.
Depreciation
Depreciation increased $.6 million (10%) for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
as compared to the same period last year, due to additions to depreciable plant.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is due
primarily to a decrease in the level of expenses associated with the sales of
accounts receivable.
Interest
The increase in interest expense of $.9 million (44%) for the six months ended
June 30, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, was due to changes in
interest on long-term debt and allowance for borrowed funds used during
construction. The increase in interest on long-term debt was due primarily to
the net issuance of approximately $30 million of long-term debt during the
period from April through December 1998.

7. Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations, conducted primarily
through its ECBU, markets and trades electricity, natural gas, and other
energy-related products.The power marketing and trading operation has both
physical and trading activities. Generation not required to meet native
load requirements is available to be sold to third parties, either under
long-term contracts, such as full requirements transactions or firm forward
sales contracts, or in short-term and spot market transactions. When
transactions are entered into, each transaction is designated as either a
physical or trading transaction In order for a transaction to be designated
as physical, there must be intent and ability to physically deliver the
power from company-owned generation. Physical transactions are accounted
for on a settlement basis. All other transactions are considered trading
transactions and are accounted for using the mark-to-market method of
accounting. The inclusion of transactions in both the trading and physical
portfolios is periodically evaluated, and under certain circumstances
transaction may be reclassified between portfolios. Under the
mark-to-market method of accounting, these trading transactions are
reflected at fair value as "Energy risk management assets" and "Energy risk
management liabilities." Changes in fair value, resulting in unrealized
gains and losses, are reflected in "Fuel and purchased and exchanged
power." Revenues and costs for all transactions are recorded gross in the
Consolidate Statements of Income as contracts are settled. Revenues are
recognized in "Operating Revenues - Electric" and costs are recorded in
"Fuel and purchased and exchanged power."
Although physical transactions are entered with the intent and ability to
settle the contract with company-owned generation, it is likely, that from
time to time, due to numerous factors such as generating station outages,
native load requirements, and weather power used to settle the physical
transactions will be required to be purchased on the open market. Depending
on the factors giving rise to these open market purchases, the cost of such
purchases could be in excess of the associated revenues. Losses such as
this will be recognized as the power is delivered. In addition, physical
contracts are subject to permanent impairment tests. At June 30, 1999,
management has concluded that there is no impairment.
Prior to December 31,1998, the transactions now included in the trading
portfolio were accounted for and valued at the aggregate lower of cost or
market. Under this method, only the net value of the entire portfolio was
recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, a favorable adjustment of $18
million after tax was recorded as a result of a re-evaluation of
transactions included in the trading portfolio as of December 31, 1998 at
the time of adoption of EITF Issue 98-10.
Contracts in the trading portfolio are valued at end-of-period market
prices, utilizing factors such as closing exchange prices, broker and
over-the-counter quotations, and model pricing. Model pricing considers
time value and volatility factors underlying any options and contractual
commitments. Management expects that some of these obligations, even though
considered as trading contracts, will ultimately be settled from time to
time by using company-owned generation. The cost of this generation is
typically below the market prices at which the trading portfolio has been
valued.
Because of the volatility currently experienced in the power markets, and
the factors discussed above pertaining to both the physical and trading
activities, volatility in future earnings losses) from period to period in
the ECBU is likely (see Note 16).
Cinergy's ECBU also physically markets natural gas and trades natural gas
and other energy-related products. All of these operations are accounted
for n the mark-to-market method f accounting. evenues and costs from
physical marketing are recorded gross in the Consolidated Statements of
Income as contracts are settled due to the exchanging of title to the
natural gas throughout the earnings process. All non-physical transactions
are recorded net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Energy risk
management assets and liabilities and gross margins from these trading
activities currently are not significant.
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
8. Cinergy and its subsidiaries use derivativ financial instruments to hedge
exposures to foreign currency exchange rates, lower funding costs, and
manage exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. Instruments used as
hedges must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract and
must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being
hedged. Accordingly, changes in market values of designated hedge
instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values of the
underlying hedged items at inception of the hedge and over the life of the
hedge contract.
Cinergy and its subsidiaries utilize foreign exchange forward contracts and
currency swaps to hedge certain of its net investments in foreign
operations. Accordingly, any translation gains or losses related to the
foreign exchange forward contracts or the principal exchange on the
currency swap are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," which
is a separate component of common stock equity. Aggregate translation
losses related to these instruments are reflected in "Current Liabilitie in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In connection with the sale of its
interest in Avon Energy (see Note 12), Cinergy terminated the hedging
contracts related to its investment in July 1999. After closing out these
contracts, the remaining foreign exchange hedging contracts are not
significant.
Interest rate swaps are accounted for under the accrual method.
Accordingly, gains and losses based on any interest differential between
fixed-rate and floating-rate interes amounts, calculated on agreed upon
notional principal amounts, ar recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Income as a component of interest expense as realized over the life of the
agreement.
Additionally, during the second quarter of 1999, the Company settled the
forward exchange contracts related to its investments in the Czech
Republic. The settlement costs were not material.

9. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, prior to the 1950s, gas was produced at
MGP sites through a process that involved the heating of coal and/or oil.
The gas produced from this process was sold for residential, commercial,
and industrial uses.
Cinergy and PSI
Coal tar residues, related hydrocarbons, and various metals associated with
MGP sites have been found at former MGP sites in Indiana, including at
least 21 MGP sites which PSI or its predecessors previously owned. PSI
acquired four of the sites from NIPSCO in 1931 and at the same time it sold
NIPSCO the sites located in Goshen and Warsaw, Indiana. In 1945, PSI sold
19 of these sites (including the four it acquired from NIPSCO) to Indiana
Gas and Water Company, Inc. (now IGC). One of the 19 sites, located in
Rochester, Indiana, was later sold by IGC to NIPSCO.
IGC and NIPSCO both made claims against PSI, contending that PSI is a
Potentially Responsible Party under the CERCLA with respect to the 21 MGP
sites, and therefore legally responsible for the costs of investigating and
remediating these sites. Moreover, in August 1997, NIPSCO filed suit
against PSI in federal court, claiming, pursuant to CERCLA, recovery from
PSI of NIPSCO's past and future costs of investigating and remediating MGP
related contamination at the Goshen MGP site.
In November 1998, NIPSCO, IGC, and PSI entered into a Site Participation
and Cost Sharing Agreement by which they settled allocation of CERCLA
liability for past and future costs, among the three companies, at seven
MGP sites in Indiana. Pursuant to this agreement, NIPSCO's lawsuit against
PSI was dismissed. The parties have assigned one of the parties lead
responsibility for managing further investigation and remediation
activities at each of the sites. Similar agreements were reached between
IGC and PSI which allocate CERCLA liability at 14 MGP sites with which
NIPSCO had no involvement. These agreements conclude all CERCLA and similar
claims between the three companies relative to MGP sites. Pursuant to the
agreements and applicable laws, the parties are continuing to investigate
and remediate the sites as appropriate. Investigation and cleanup of some
of the sites is subject to oversight by the IDEM.
PSI has placed its insurance carriers on notice of IGC's, NIPSCO's, and the
IDEM's claims related to MGP sites. In April 1998, PSI filed suit in
Hendricks County Circuit Court against its general liability insurance
carriers seeking, among other matters, a declaratory judgment that its
insurance carriers are obligated to defend MGP claims against PSI or pay
PSI's costs of defense and to indemnify PSI for its costs of investigating,
preventing, mitigating, and remediating damage to property and paying
claims associated with MGP sites. The case was moved to the Hendricks
Superior Court 1 on a motion for change of judge. The Hendricks Superior
Court 1 has set the case for trial beginning on September 11, 2000, and
ordered the parties to meet certain deadlines for discovery proceedings
based upon this trial date. PSI cannot predict the outcome of this
litigation.
Based upon the work performed to date, PSI has accrued costs for the sites
related to investigation, remediation, and groundwater monitoring.
Estimated costs of certain remedial activities are accrued when such costs
are reasonably estimable. PSI does not believe it can provide an estimate
of the reasonably possible total remediation costs for any site prior to
completion of a remedial investigation/feasibility study and the
development of some sense of the timing for the implementation of the
potential remedial alternatives, to the extent such remediation may be
required. Accordingly, the total costs that may be incurred in connection
with the remediation of all sites, to the extent remediation is necessary,
cannot be determined at this time. These future costs at the 21 Indiana MGP
sites, based on information currently available, are not material to
Cinergy's financial condition or results of operations. However, as further
investigation and remediation activities are undertaken at these sites, the
potential liability for the 21 MGP sites could be material to Cinergy's and
PSI's financial condition or results of operations.
Cinergy, CG&E, and ULH&P
CG&E and its utility subsidiaries are aware of potential sites where MGP
activities have occurred at some time in the past. None of these sites is
known to present a risk to the environment. CG&E and its utility
subsidiaries have undertaken preliminary site assessments to obtain more
information about some of these MGP sites.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
10. During the second quarter of 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133. The new
standard requires companies to record derivative instruments, as defined in
Statement 133, as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The
Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be
recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria
are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's
gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income
statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate,
and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting
treatment. The standard, as subsequently amended by Statement 137, is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Cinergy expects
to reflect the adoption of this standard in financial statements issued
beginning in the first quarter of 2001.
The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting Statement 133 on
its consolidated financial statements. However, accounting prescribed under
Statement 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive
income.
Cinergy
11. Options to purchase shares of common stock are excluded from the
calculation of EPS-assuming dilution when the exercise prices of these
options are greater than the average market price of the common shares
during the period. Options to purchase approximately 1,683,000 and 931,000
shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS-assuming dilution for this
reason for the quarters ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
Options to purchase approximately 1,736,000 and 695,000 shares were
excluded fro . the calculation of EPS-assuming dilution for this reason for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.
Cinergy
12. On July 15, 1999, Cinergy and GPU completed a transaction whereby GPU
acquired Cinergy's 50% ownership interest in Avon Energy, the parent
company of Midlands. In exchange for its interest in Avon Energy, Cinergy
received 452.5 million pounds sterling (approximately $700 million). As a
result of the transaction, Cinergy will realize a gain of approximately
$.50 cents per share in the third quarter. After deducting financing,
transaction, and currency costs, the net contribution to earnings will be .
approximately $.43 cents per share.

13. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, PSI and Dynegy (formerly Destec)
entered into a 25-year contractual agreement for the provision of coal
gasification services in November 1995. The agreement requires PSI to pay
Dynegy a base monthly fee including certain monthly operating expenses. PSI
received authorization in the September 1996 Order for the inclusion of
these costs in retail rates. In addition, PSI received authorization to
defer, for subsequent recovery in retail rates, the base monthly fees and
expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the September 1996 Order.
Over the next five years, the base monthly fees and expenses for the coal
gasification service agreement are expected to total $201 million.
During the third quarter of 1998, PSI reached an agreement with Dynegy to
purchase the remainder of its 25-year contract for coal gasification
services. The settlement agreement specifies a purchase price of $249
million. The proposed purchase, which is contingent upon regulatory
approval satisfactory to PSI, could be completed in 1999. PSI is
investigating financing alternatives. The transaction, if approved as
proposed, is not expected to have a material impact on PSI's earnings.
In anticipation of the buyout, PSI and the UCC have come to a settlement
agreement with respect to the proper ratemaking treatment of the buyout fee
and other buyout implementation costs. The agreement, entered into on June
21, 1999, provides for PSI's retail electric rates to be decreased to
eliminate jurisdictional costs associated with the gasification services
agreement. Additionally, the agreement allows PSI to recover the retail
electric jurisdictional portion of the buyout fee and the associated buyout
implementation costs through its rates with carrying costs on unrecovered
amounts, over an eighteen-year period. The settlement agreement has been
submitted to the IURC for approval.
14. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, the collective-bargaining agreement
with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 1393,
covering approximately 1,470 employees, expired on May 1, 1999. A new labor
agreement was ratified April 22, 1999, and is effective from May 1, 1999,
through April 30, 2002.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
15. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, during 1998, Cinergy and its
subsidiaries adopted the provisions of Statement 131. During the first
quarter of 1999, Cinergy reorganized its reportable segments. The business
unit structure effective with that reorganization is described below.
The ECBU operates and maintains, exclusive of certain jointly-owned plant,
all of the Company's domestic electric generation facilities. In addition
to the production of electric power, all energy risk management, marketing,
and proprietary arbitrage trading, with the exception of electric and gas
retail sales, is conducted through the ECBU. Revenues from external
customers are derived from the ECBU's marketing, trading, and risk
management activities. Intersegment revenues are derived from the sale of
electric power to the EDBU.
The EDBU plans, constructs, operates, and maintains the Company's
transmission and distribution systems and provides gas and electric energy
to end users. Revenues from customers other than end users are primarily
derived from the transmission of electric power through the Company's
transmission system.
The CIBU manages the development, sales, and marketing of domestic,
non-regulated wholesale energy and energy-related products and services.
Most of the CIBU's revenues are derived from the sales of such products and
services to external, end-use customers. In addition, some of the CIBU's
activities are conducted through joint-venture affiliates, including the
construction and sale or lease of cogeneration and trigeneration facilities
to large commercial/industrial customers and energy management services to
third parties.
The IBU directs and manages all of the Company's international business
holdings, which include wholly-owned subsidiaries and equity investments.
Revenues and equity earnings from unconsolidated companies are primarily
derived from energy-related businesses.
Transfer pricing for sales of electric energy and sales of electric and gas
transmission and distribution services between the ECBU and EDBU are
derived from the operating utilities' retail and wholesale rate structures.
Financial results by business unit for the quarters ended June 30, 1999, and

16. During late July, the geographic region in which Cinergy operates
experienced extreme weather conditions. As a result of these conditions,
Cinergy expects a reduction in net income for July of $57 million (after
tax, $16 million and $41 million for CG&E and PSI, respectively), or $.36
per share basic and dilutive. Cash losses reflecting costs to serve
wholesale power contracts and anticipated liquidated damage claims totaled
$73 million, $27 million, and $46 million after tax or $.46 per share basic
and dilutive for Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI, respectively. Also, as a result of
the extreme weather, increased sales from retail operations contributed $16
million, $11 million, and $5 million or $.10 per share basic and dilutive
after tax for Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI, respectively.
The extreme weather conditions required the purchase of power needed to
supplement generation to meet record wholesale and retail customer demand.
The anticipated liquidated damages are related to supply curtailments to
eight power marketers for four-to six hours on July 30.
These weather conditions in Cinergy's service area included record-setting
temperatures and extraordinary levels of demand. Preliminary figures
indicate electric demand in the Cinergy system's tri-state service
territory peaked at 10,858 MW July 22. On July 30 demand peaked at an
estimated 10,811 MW. An aggressive call for voluntary conservation,
including 2,600 contacts with large-volume power users as well as the
triggering of standard industrial interruptible contracts, reduced the
potential peak by more than 600 MW.
Additionally, the Company experienced regional transmission constraints
which prevented it from receiving significant amounts of prescheduled power
and further limited hourly purchases from the north, east, and west for
both service territory and other wholesale obligations.
The Company is continuing to consider a number of strategies to address the
electricity market volatility being encountered as the industry
restructures, including construction of additional generation capacity,
securing additional sources of supply, possible expansion of or exit from
the power supply business, and pursuit of asset flexibility and customer
choice in all states where it operates. The Company intends to pursue the
alternatives which it believes will appropriately enable it to address the
volatility of the developing eletricity market.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION Matters discussed in
this "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in "Part I. Financial Information" reflect and elucidate
Cinergy's corporate vision of the future and, as a part of that, outline goals
and aspirations, as well as specific projections. These goals and projections
are considered forward-looking statements and are based on management's beliefs,
as well as certain assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions
and other factors that are referred to specifically in connection with these
statements, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those indicated in any forward-looking statements include, among others:
factors generally affecting operations, such as unusual weather conditions,
unscheduled generation outages; unusual maintenance or repairs, unanticipated
changes in fuel costs, environmental incidents, or system constraints;
legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding deregulation and restructuring
of the industry; increased competition in the electric and gas utility
environment; challenges related to Year 2000 readiness; regulatory factors;
changes in accounting principles or policies; adverse political, legal, or
economic conditions; changing market conditions; success of efforts to invest in
and develop new opportunities in non-traditional business; availability or cost
of capital; employee workforce factors; legal and regulatory delays and other
obstacles associated with mergers, acquisitions, and investments in joint
ventures; costs and effects of legal and administrative proceedings; changes in
legislative requirements; and other risks. The SEC's rules do not require
forward-looking statements to be revised or updated, and Cinergy does not intend
to do so.

Competitive Pressures
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Federal The Clinton Administration has introduced a bill--the Comprehensive
Electricity Competition Act--that would grant all retail customers of
electricity the right to choose their electricity supplier beginning January 1,
2003. The legislation would allow a state regulatory authority to opt out of the
retail competition system if the authority conducted a public proceeding and
determined that the electric customers of that state would be better served by a
monopoly system or an alternative retail competition plan. A "compromise
bipartisan" deregulation bill introduced on May 26 by Representatives Largent
(R-Ok.) and Markey (D-Mass.) included similar mandate and opt out provisions
with an effective date of January 1, 2002.
Both the House and the Senate continue to hold hearings on electric
restructuring and to see if consensus legislation can be developed, but it is
uncertain whether federal retail customer choice legislation will be passed by
this Congress.
Ohio As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, comprehensive electric restructuring
legislation was reintroduced in 1999 in both houses of the Ohio General
Assembly. One of these bills--Senate Bill 3--subsequently received approval by
both houses, and in July 1999, Ohio Governor Robert Taft signed the
restructuring legislation into law. The new law becomes effective in October
1999.
The new law calls for a competitive retail electric market starting January 1,
2001. Other details of the law include:
- - A 5% cut in the generation component of rates for every residential
customer beginning January 1, 2001;
- - Utility rates otherwise are frozen for non-switching customers through each
utility's market development period (ending no later than December 31,
2005);
- - The filing of a transition plan by each utility within 90 days of the
effective date of the law (the PUCO is given 275 days to approve or reject
a utility's filing). The transition plan must include a rate unbundling
plan, a corporate separation plan, an operational support plan, an employee
assistance plan, and a consumer education plan. The plan may also include a
quantification of utility transition costs and application to receive
transition revenues;
- - The establishment of a market development period, which is the transition
period to full market competition;
- - The recovery of transition costs throughout the market development period,
as determined by the PUCO;
- - The recovery of regulatory assets through December 31, 2010, as approved by
the PUCO;
- - The transfer of either ownership or control of the transmission system to
an independent transmission entity before December 31, 2003; and
- - The establishment of incentives to induce twenty percent (20%) of the loads
by customer class to switch providers by no later than December 31, 2003.
At this time, CG&E has not completed its transition plan and as such cannot
predict the ultimate financial impact the electric restructuring legislation
will have on future earnings and financial position.
Indiana As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, electric restructuring legislation
supported by a group of large industrial customers was introduced into the
Indiana legislature in January 1999. This legislation did not pass in the 1999
session of the Indiana General Assembly, which ended in April, 1999. Cinergy
anticipates that electric restructuring legislation will again be introduced in
the "short session" in Indiana in 2000.
Kentucky Throughout 1999, a task force convened by the Kentucky legislature has
been meeting to study the issue of electric restructuring. The legislature next
meets in January 2000, and it is not certain whether an electric restructuring
bill will be introduced at that time.
Regulatory Matters
Cinergy and PSI
Coal Contract Buyout Costs See Note 13 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in
"Part I. Financial Information."
Cinergy and CG&E
PUCO Order - CG&E's Gas Rate Order As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in April
1997, CG&E filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio challenging
the disallowance of information systems costs and imputation of certain revenues
by the PUCO when it approved an overall average increase in CG&E's gas revenues
in December 1996. On July 7, 1999, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on the
appeal supporting the PUCO's decision to exclude a portion of the development
costs of the information systems from the rate based calculation. However, the
Supreme Court ruled in favor of CG&E on the imputed revenue appeal, deciding the
PUCO acted unlawfully in imputing certain revenues. The ruling will,
prospectively, result in a revision in rates generating a $3 million increase in
annual revenues for CG&E, which represents less than a one percentage increase
in retail rates.
Other Matters
Midwest ISO In July of 1999, the Midwest ISO named Matthew Cordaro as the first
President and Chief Executive Officer of the organization. It also updated its
expectations to begin operations in June of 2001.
As of August 1, 1999, there are 12 transmission owners participating in the
Midwest ISO. The participating transmission owners cover territories with over
47,000 miles of transmission lines extending into 11 states, and includes over
$7 billion of transmission investment, forming one of the largest ISOs in the
country.
Repeal of the PUHCA As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in February 1999, S.
313, a bill to repeal significant portions of PUHCA, was introduced in the
Senate. The bill is currently awaiting action by the full Senate. In June 1999,
H.R. 2363, a bill to repeal PUHCA, was introduced in the House as a companion
bill to S. 313. H.R. 2363 is currently awaiting action by the House Commerce
Committee.
While it is uncertain whether these bills will be enacted into law, Cinergy
continues to support the repeal of this act either as part of comprehensive
reform of the electric industry or as separate legislation.
Environmental Issues
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
Ozone Transport Rulemaking As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in October 1998,
the EPA finalized its Ozone Transport Rule (or NOx SIP Call). It applies to 22
states in the eastern half of the US, including the three states in which the
Cinergy electric utilities operate, and also proposes a model NOx trading
program. This rule recommends that states reduce NOx emissions from primarily
industrial and utility sources to a certain limit by May 2003. The EPA gave the
affected states until September 30, 1999, to incorporate utility NOx reductions
with a trading program into their SIPs. Ohio, Indiana, a number of other states,
and various industry groups, including some of which Cinergy is a member, filed
legal challenges to the NOx SIP Call in late 1998. Ohio and Indiana have also
provided preliminary indications that they will seek fewer NOx reductions from
the utility sector in their implementing regulations than the EPA has budgeted
in its rulemaking.
On April 30, 1999, the EPA made an affirmative technical determination on the
February 1998 northeast state CAAA Section 126 petitions seeking to reduce ozone
in the eastern US. By affirming these Section 126 petitions, the EPA makes a
finding that the named Midwest stationary sources (including all of Cinergy's
facilities) are significantly contributing to ozone problems in the northeast
for both the one- and eight-hour ozone standard. The EPA has stated that the
Section 126 petitions and the NOx SIP call requirements should be coordinated.
Therefore, the EPA will defer fully granting the relief sought by petitioners
until the affected states file their proposed SIPs in September 1999.
On May 25, 1999, the Court of Appeals granted the petitioners' request for a
stay of the rule and indefinitely suspended the September 30 filing deadline,
pending further review by the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals is now
scheduled to hear arguments on the case in the fall of 1999, making a decision
in early 2000.
Based on the May 14 court decision (see below) and the May 25 court decision, in
mid-June the EPA modified and re-proposed the Section 126 petitions to only
address the one-hour ozone standard. The EPA also limited the petitions to 12
states instead of the original 22 states. NOx sources in the states of Indiana,
Kentucky, and Ohio would still be required to meet the same emissions
requirements. The new rulemaking is scheduled for completion by November 1999.
Ambient Air Standards and Regional Haze As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in
1997, the EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and
fine particulate matter. Utility NOx reductions called for in the EPA's final
NOx SIP call were anticipated to address both the one-hour and the new
eight-hour ozone standard. With the recent challenges to the NOx SIP call it is
unclear to what extent additional NOx reductions would be required of utilities
to address eight-hour ozone non-attainment issues.
On May 14, 1999, the Court of Appeals ruled that both the new eight-hour ozone
standard and the fine particulate matter standard were unconstitutional and
therefore unenforceable by the EPA. In June, the EPA appealed the decision. At
this time, the outcome of the appeals process and the effects on future
emissions reduction requirements cannot be determined.
The EPA published the final regional haze rule on July 1, 1999. This rule
establishes planning and emission reduction timelines for states to use to
improve visibility in national parks throughout the US. The ultimate effect of
the new regional haze rule could be requirements for newer and cleaner
technologies and additional controls on conventional particulates and/or
reductions in SO2 and NOx emissions from utility sources. If more utility
emissions reductions are required, the compliance cost could be significant. The
outcome or effects of the states' determination cannot currently be predicted.
Air Toxics As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in November 1998, the EPA
finalized its ICR. Pursuant to the ICR, all generating units must provide
detailed information about coal use and mercury content. The EPA has since
selected about 100 generating units for one-time stack sampling, including
Cinergy's Gibson Unit No. 3 and the Wabash River Repowering Project. The EPA is
planning to make its regulatory determination on the need for additional
regulation by the fourth quarter of 2000. If more air toxics regulations are
issued, the compliance cost could be significant. The outcome or effects of the
EPA's determination cannot currently be predicted.
NSR On July 21, 1992, the EPA published final regulations governing the
application of new source rules to electric generating plant repairs and
pollution control projects undertaken to comply with the CAAA. Generally, the
rule provides that plants undertaking pollution control projects will not
trigger NSR requirements. The Natural Resources Defense Council and a group of
utilities including CG&E and PSI have filed petitions for review of the
regulations with the Court of Appeals. In July 1998, the EPA requested comment
on proposed revisions to the NSR rules which would change NSR applicability by
eliminating exemptions contained in the current regulation.
On July 13 and 14, 1999, CG&E and PSI received from the EPA (Region 5) requests
under section 114 of the CAAA seeking documents and information regarding
capital and maintenance expenditures at Beckjord and Cayuga, respectively. These
activities are part of an industry-wide investigation assessing compliance with
the NSR and New Source Performance Standards of the CAAA at electric generating
units.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
Energy Commodities Sensitivity The Company markets and trades electricity,
natural gas, and other energy-related products. The Company utilizes
over-the-counter forward and option contracts for the purchase and sale of
electricity and also trades exchange-traded futures contracts. See Notes 7 and 8
of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for
the Company's accounting policies for certain derivative instruments. The
Company's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks
reported in the 1998 Form 10-K.
Cinergy
Exchange Rate Sensitivity The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward
contracts and currency swaps to hedge certain of its net investments in foreign
operations. As part of the sale of the investment in Avon Energy, Cinergy
eliminated the hedges related to the Midlands investment in July 1999.
Additionally, the Company eliminated the forward exchange contracts related to
its investment in the Czech Republic. See Notes 7 and 8 of the "Notes to
Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for the Company's
accounting policies for certain derivative instruments.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Interest Rate Sensitivity The Company's net exposure to changes in interest
rates primarily consists of debt instruments with floating interest rates that
are benchmarked to various market indices. To manage the Company's exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates and to lower funding costs, the Company evaluates
the use of, and has entered into, interest rate swaps. See Notes 7 and 8 of the
"Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for the
Company's accounting policies for certain derivative instruments. The Company's
market risks have not changed materially from the market risks reported in the
1998 Form 10-K.

Long-term Debt For information regarding recent issuances and redemptions of
long-term debt securities, see Notes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 of the "Notes to
Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information."
As of July 31, 1999, CG&E and PSI have remaining state regulatory authority for
long-term debt issuance of $200 million and $30 million, respectively. ULH&P
received a state regulatory order for authority to issue long-term debt of up to
$50 million on August 5, 1999, that will expire on December 31, 2001.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
Cinergy's committed lines are comprised of an acquisition line and a revolving
line. The established revolving line also provides credit support for Cinergy's
commercial paper program, which is limited to a maximum principal amount of $400
million. The proceeds from the commercial paper sales were used for general
corporate purposes.
The established committed lines for CG&E and PSI each included $75 million
designated as backup for certain of the uncommitted lines at June 30, 1999;
however, if not in use as backup, these amounts would be available for
borrowing. CG&E and PSI also have the capacity to issue commercial paper that
must be supported by committed lines of the respective company. Neither CG&E nor
PSI issued commercial paper during the second quarter of 1999.
Both CG&E and PSI have issued variable rate pollution control notes. Holders of
these pollution control notes have the right to put their notes to the issuing
company for redemption on any business day. Accordingly, these issuances are
reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Notes payable and other
short-term obligations."
Cinergy
Global Resources has established a $100 million revolving credit agreement,
which was due to expire in June 1999 and has been extended to August 1999.
During mid-July, Cinergy's acquisition line was settled due to the sale of
Cinergy's 50% ownership interest in Avon Energy. (See Note 12 of the "Notes to
Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information.")
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Year 2000 The Year 2000 issue generally exists because many computer systems and
applications, including those embedded in equipment and facilities, use
two-digit rather than four-digit date fields to designate an applicable year. As
a result, the systems and applications may not properly recognize dates
including and beyond the year 2000 or accurately process data in which such
dates are included, potentially causing data miscalculations and inaccuracies or
operational malfunctions and failures, which could materially affect a
business's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Cinergy has established a centrally managed, company-wide initiative, known as
the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, to identify, evaluate, and address Year
2000 issues. The Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, which began in the fourth
quarter of 1996, is generally focused on three elements that are integral to
this initiative: (1) business continuity, (2) risk management, and (3)
regulatory compliance. Business continuity includes providing reliable electric
and gas supply and service in a safe and cost-effective manner. This element
encompasses mission-critical generation, transmission, and distribution systems
and related infrastructure, as well as operational and financial IT systems and
applications, end-user computing resources, and building systems (such as
security, elevator, and heating and cooling systems). Risk management includes a
review of the Year 2000 readiness efforts of Cinergy's critical suppliers, key
customers and other principal business partners, and, as appropriate, the
development of joint business support, contingency plans, and the inclusion of
Year 2000 concerns as a regular part of the due diligence process in any new
business venture. Regulatory compliance includes communications with regulatory
agencies, other utilities, and various industry groups. While this initiative is
broad in scope, it has been structured to identify and prioritize efforts for
mission-critical electric and gas systems and services and key business
partners.
Under the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, Cinergy achieved a target date of
June 30, 1999, for the remediation and testing of its mission-critical
generation, transmission, and distribution systems, components, and applications
(gas and electric). An innovative remediation and testing effort, which Cinergy
also completed on June 30, 1999, involved resetting the clocks on all of the
generation units it operates in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky so that they are now
operating as if it were already January 1, 2000. Cinergy's experience has been
that those units have continued to operate without any material adverse result
relating to a Year 2000 issue. Cinergy will continue to monitor its
mission-critical systems, components and applications for the remainder of the
year to maintain their Year 2000 readiness status.
Cinergy has also reviewed its existing contingency and business continuity plans
and modified them in light of the Year 2000 issue. Contingency planning to
maintain and restore service in the event of natural and other disasters
(including software- and hardware-related problems) has been part of Cinergy's
standard operation for many years, and Cinergy is working to leverage this
experience in the review of existing plans to address Year 2000-related
challenges. These reviews have assessed the potential for business disruption in
various scenarios, including the most reasonably likely worst-case scenario, and
to provide for key operational back up, recovery, and restoration alternatives.
Cinergy cannot guarantee that third parties on whom it depends for essential
goods and services (those where the interruption of the supply of such goods and
services could lead to issues involving the safety of employees, customers, or
the public; the continued reliable delivery of gas and/or electricity; and the
ability to comply with applicable laws or regulations) will convert their
mission-critical systems, components, and applications in a timely manner.
Failure or delay by any of these third parties could significantly disrupt
business. However, to address this issue, Cinergy has established a supplier
compliance program, and is working with its critical suppliers in an effort to
minimize such risks.
In addition, Cinergy is coordinating its findings and other issues with other
utilities and various industry groups via the Electric Power Research Institute
Year 2000 Embedded Systems Project and the Year 2000 Readiness Assessment
Program of the NERC, acting at the request of the DOE. The DOE has asked NERC to
report on the integrity of the transmission system for North America and to
coordinate and assess the preparation of the electric systems in North America
for the Year 2000. NERC submitted its initial quarterly status report and
coordination plan to the DOE in September 1998, and a second quarterly status
report for the fourth quarter of 1998 was submitted on January 11, 1999. A third
quarterly status report for the first quarter of 1999 was submitted on April 30,
1999. A fourth and final quarterly status report for the second quarter of 1999
was submitted to the DOE by NERC on August 3, 1999, in which Cinergy was listed
as a "Y2k Ready" organization.
Cinergy plans to participate in a NERC-sponsored national preparedness drill on
September 8 and 9, 1999, involving its Year 2000 contingency plans.
Cinergy currently estimates that the total cost for the inventory, assessment,
remediation, testing, and upgrading of its systems as a result of the Year 2000
effort is approximately $13 million. Approximately $12 million in expenses have
been incurred through June 30, 1999, for such things as external labor, for
hardware and software upgrades, and for Cinergy employees who are dedicated
full-time to the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program. The timing of these
expenses may vary and is not necessarily indicative of readiness efforts or
progress to date. Cinergy anticipates that a portion of its Year 2000 expenses
will not be incremental costs, but rather, will represent the redeployment of
existing IT resources. Since its formation, Cinergy has incurred, and will
continue to incur, significant capital improvement costs related to planned
system upgrades or replacements required in the normal course of business. These
costs have not been accelerated as a result of the Year 2000 issue.
The above information is based on Cinergy's current best estimates, which were
derived using numerous assumptions of future events, including the availability
and future costs of certain technological and other resources, third-party
modification actions, and other factors. Given the complexity of these issues
and possible unidentified risks, actual results may vary materially from those
anticipated and discussed above. Specific factors that might cause such
differences include, among others; the ability to locate and correct all
affected computer code, the timing and success of remedial efforts of
third-party suppliers, and similar uncertainties.
The above information is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure pursuant to the
Federal Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.
Cinergy
Other Commitments At June 30, 1999, Cinergy had issued $321 million in
guarantees primarily related to the energy marketing and trading activities of
its subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, Cinergy had guaranteed $258
million of the debt securities of its subsidiaries and affiliates.
