       (a)     General Development of the Business.

               Indiana  Energy,  Inc.  (Indiana  Energy  or  the  company)  is a
               publicly owned holding company with  subsidiaries  and affiliates
               engaged in natural gas distribution, gas portfolio administrative
               services and marketing of natural gas, electric power and related
               services.  It was  incorporated  under  the laws of the  state of
               Indiana   on  October   24,   1985.   Indiana   Energy  has  five
               subsidiaries:  Indiana Gas Company, Inc., IEI Services,  LLC, IEI
               Capital Corp., IEI Investments, Inc., and Number-3CHK, Inc.

               Indiana Gas Company, Inc. (Indiana Gas), the principal subsidiary
               and  business  entity of the  holding  company,  is an  operating
               public  utility  engaged in the business of providing gas utility
               service in central and southern Indiana.

               IEI  Services,  LLC,  formed in October  1997,  provides  support
               services to Indiana Energy and its  subsidiaries.  These services
               include  information  technology,   financial,  human  resources,
               building and fleet services.

               IEI Capital Corp.  (Capital Corp.), was formed in October 1997 to
               conduct the  financing  for Indiana  Energy and its  subsidiaries
               other than Indiana Gas. Capital Corp.  provides the non-regulated
               businesses   with   short-term   financing  for  working  capital
               requirements,  as well as secures  permanent  financing for those
               entities as necessary.

               IEI Investments,  Inc. (IEI  Investments) was formed to group the
               operations of nonregulated businesses and segregate them from the
               regulated businesses. IEI Investments has three subsidiaries, IGC
               Energy,  Inc.,  Energy Realty,  Inc. and Energy  Financial Group,
               Inc.

               On  November 1, 1994,  IGC Energy,  Inc.  (IGC  Energy)  formed a
               natural gas marketing subsidiary,  Indiana Energy Services,  Inc.
               (IES),  which  provided  natural gas and related  services to gas
               utilities and customers in Indiana and  surrounding  states,  and
               from January 1, 1996,  to March 31, 1996 to Indiana Gas. On March
               15, 1996,  IGC Energy and Citizens  By-Products  Coal Company,  a
               wholly  owned   subsidiary  of  Citizens  Gas  and  Coke  Utility
               (Citizens Gas),  formed  ProLiance  Energy,  LLC  (ProLiance),  a
               jointly and equally owned limited liability  company,  to provide
               natural  gas supply and  related  marketing  services.  ProLiance
               assumed  the  business  of IES and began  providing  services  to
               Indiana Gas and Citizens Gas effective  April 1, 1996.  ProLiance
               is also a power  marketer,  providing gas and power to over 1,000
               commercial, industrial and municipal customers.

               On April 1,  1997,  IGC  Energy  and  Citizens  By-Products  Coal
               Company  formed CIGMA,  LLC (CIGMA),  a jointly and equally owned
               limited liability company.  CIGMA provides materials  acquisition
               and related services that are used by Indiana Gas,  Citizens Gas,
               and third parties throughout a fourteen-state area.

               On May 23, 1997, IGC Energy,  Citizens  By-Products  Coal Company
               and Energy  Systems  Group,  Inc.  (ESGI) formed  Energy  Systems
               Group, LLC (ESG), an equally owned limited liability company. ESG
               provides  a package  of  products,  services  and  skills to help
               energy users achieve enhanced energy and operational performance.
               The  packages  provide  for  improvements  to be paid  for by the
               customers from savings generated within their existing  operating
               budgets.  ESG assumed  the  responsibilities  of ESGI,  an energy
               related performance  contracting firm and wholly owned subsidiary
               of SIGCORP, Inc.

               On June 30, 1998, IGC Energy and Cinergy Supply Network,  Inc., a
               subsidiary of Cinergy Corp.  (Cinergy),  formed Reliant Services,
               LLC (Reliant),  an equally owned limited  liability  company,  to
               perform   underground   facilities   locating  and   construction
               services.  In May  1999,  Reliant  purchased  the  assets  of two
               Indianapolis based companies and began operation. In August 1999,
               Reliant  entered the meter reading  business as well.  Reliant is
               based  in the  Indianapolis  area  and will  focus  initially  on
               serving electric,  gas,  telephone,  cable and water companies in
               Indiana,  Ohio and  Kentucky.  Reliant's  customer  base includes
               major  utility  companies  in  metropolitan  areas  in  which  it
               currently operates.

               Energy Realty,  Inc. is a real estate company with investments in
               affordable housing and historic rehabilitation projects.

               Energy  Financial  Group,  Inc.  (EFGI) was formed on January 20,
               1998,  to hold all  financial  entities  and  investments  of IEI
               Investments.  Also on January 20, 1998,  IEI  Synfuels,  Inc. was
               established as a wholly-owned  subsidiary of EFGI and on February
               5, 1998,  purchased one limited partnership unit (representing an
               8.3  percent   ownership   interest)  in  Pace  Carbon   Synfuels
               Investors,  L.P. (Pace Carbon),  a Delaware  limited  partnership
               formed to develop,  own and operate four  projects to produce and
               sell  coal-based  synthetic fuel. Pace Carbon converts coal fines
               (small coal particles) into coal pellets/briquettes that are sold
               to major coal users such as utilities and steel  companies.  This
               process is eligible for federal tax credits  under  Section 29 of
               the Internal  Revenue Code and the Internal  Revenue  Service has
               issued a private letter ruling with respect to the four projects.

               On April 1, 1998,  IEI  Financial  Services,  LLC (IEI  Financial
               Services) began its operations.  IEI Financial  Services performs
               third-party  collections,  energy-related  equipment  leasing and
               related services.  IEI Financial Services provides these services
               to Indiana Gas and to other third parties.

               On October  9,  1998,  IEI  Investments  committed  to invest $10
               million  in  Haddington  Energy  Partners,   L.P.   (Haddington).
               Haddington,  a  Delaware  limited  partnership,  has  raised  $77
               million  to  invest in six to eight  projects  that  represent  a
               portfolio of  development  opportunities,  including  natural gas
               gathering and storage and electric power generation. Haddington's
               investment  opportunities will focus on acquiring and building on
               projects in progress rather than start-up ventures.

               On June 14,  1999,  Indiana  Energy and SIGCORP,  Inc.  (SIGCORP)
               jointly  announced  the  signing  of a  definitive  agreement  to
               combine  into a new holding  company  named  Vectren  Corporation
               (Vectren).    SIGCORP   is   an    investor-owned    energy   and
               telecommunications company that through its subsidiaries provides
               electric  and gas  service to  southwest  Indiana  and energy and
               telecommunication  products and services  throughout  the Midwest
               and elsewhere.

               Indiana Gas Company,  Inc. and Southern  Indiana Gas and Electric
               Company,  Inc.,  Indiana Energy's and SIGCORP's utility companies
               will operate as separate subsidiaries of Vectren.

               The merger is conditioned, among other things, upon the approvals
               of the  shareholders  of each  company and  customary  regulatory
               approvals.  On December 17, 1999,  the merger was approved by the
               shareholders  of each company.  On December 20, 1999, the Federal
               Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order approving the
               proposed merger. In approving the merger, the FERC concluded that
               the  merger was in the public  interest  and would not  adversely
               affect competition, rates or regulation. The companies anticipate
               that the remaining  regulatory  processes can be completed in the
               first quarter of calendar 2000.

               On December 15,  1999,  the company  announced  that the board of
               directors  had  approved a definitive  agreement  under which the
               company  will  acquire the natural gas  distribution  business of
               Dayton Power and Light Co., Inc. The acquisition, with a purchase
               price of $425  million,  is  expected  to be  funded  with a bank
               facility   which  will  be  replaced  over  time  with  permanent
               financing.  This  transaction is conditioned upon the approval of
               several  regulatory  bodies.  Management  hopes to  complete  the
               transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2000.

       (c)     Narrative Description of the Business.

               During  fiscal 1999,  Indiana Gas  supplied gas to about  500,000
               residential,  small commercial and contract (large commercial and
               industrial) customers in 284 communities in 48 of the 92 counties
               in the state of Indiana.  The service  area has a  population  of
               approximately  2 million and contains  diversified  manufacturing
               and  agriculture-related  enterprises.  The principal  industries
               served include automotive parts and accessories,  feed, flour and
               grain  processing,  metal  castings,  aluminum  products,  gypsum
               products, electrical equipment, metal specialties and glass.

               The  largest   communities   served  include  Muncie,   Anderson,
               Lafayette-West Lafayette,  Bloomington,  Terre Haute, Marion, New
               Albany, Columbus,  Jeffersonville, New Castle and Richmond. While
               Indiana  Gas does  not  serve  Indianapolis,  it does  serve  the
               counties and communities which border that city.

               For  the  fiscal  year  ended  September  30,  1999,  residential
               customers  provided 66 percent of revenues,  small  commercial 23
               percent  and  contract 11  percent.  Approximately  99 percent of
               Indiana Gas' customers  used gas for space heating,  and revenues
               from these  customers for the fiscal year were  approximately  90
               percent of total  operating  revenues.  Sales of gas are seasonal
               and strongly affected by variations in weather  conditions.  Less
               than half of total margin,  however,  is space  heating  related.
               During the fiscal  year ended  September  30,  1999,  Indiana Gas
               added approximately 11,400 residential and commercial customers.

               Indiana Gas sells gas directly to residential,  small  commercial
               and  contract  customers  at  approved  rates.  Indiana  Gas also
               transports  gas  through  its  pipelines  at  approved  rates  to
               contract   customers  which  have  purchased  gas  directly  from
               producers, or through brokers and marketers. The total volumes of
               gas  provided  to both  sales  and  transportation  customers  is
               referred to as throughput.

               Gas  transported  on behalf of end-use  customers  in fiscal 1999
               represented 43 percent (51,213 MDth) of throughput compared to 40
               percent  (45,598  MDth) in 1998 and 34 percent  (41,874  MDth) in
               1997.  Although  revenues  are  lower,  rates for  transportation
               generally  provide the same margins as would have been earned had
               the gas been sold under normal sales tariffs.

               Effective April 1, 1996, Indiana Gas purchases all of its natural
               gas as well as winter delivery service from ProLiance.

               Prices for gas and related services  purchased by Indiana Gas are
               determined  primarily by market  conditions and rates established
               by the Federal Energy Regulatory  Commission.  Indiana Gas' rates
               and charges,  terms of service,  accounting matters,  issuance of
               securities,  and certain other operational  matters are regulated
               by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).

               Adjustments to Indiana Gas' rates and charges related to the cost
               of gas are made  through  gas cost  adjustment  (GCA)  procedures
               established by Indiana law and administered by the IURC. The IURC
               has applied the statute  authorizing the GCA procedures to reduce
               rates when  necessary so as to limit  utility  operating  income,
               after adjusting to normal weather, to the level authorized in the
               last  general  rate order.  The earnings  test  provides  that no
               refund  be paid to the  extent  a  utility  has  not  earned  its
               authorized  utility  operating income over the previous 60 months
               (or during the period  since the  utility's  last rate order,  if
               longer).

               Information regarding environmental matters affecting the company
               is  incorporated  herein by  reference  to Item 7,  Environmental
               Matters.

               The company and its direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries
               had 858  full-time  employees  and 34  part-time  employees as of
               September 30, 1999.

               The company is currently  implementing  a growth  strategy  which
               provides   for,   among  other   things,   growing  the  earnings
               contribution from nonutility operations and aggressively managing
               costs within its utility  operations and  non-regulated  services
               provider.   See   Item   7,   Growth   Strategy   and   Corporate
               Restructuring.

               Information  concerning the operating  segments of the company is
               incorporated  herein by  reference to the Note 17 of the Notes to
               the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8.

Item 2.        Property

               Indiana Energy owns no real property.

               The  properties  of  Indiana  Gas  are  used  for  the  purchase,

               primarily within the state of Indiana.  As of September 30, 1999,
               such  properties  included  10,948 miles of  distribution  mains;
               512,351  meters;  five  reservoirs  currently  being used for the

See Item 4a which is incorporated by reference into this Item 10 for information
concerning executive officers.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION


Non-employee  directors of the Company and of Indiana Gas or Investments receive
combined  fees  totaling  $21,000  per year for  service  on the boards of these
companies.  The fees are paid under the Directors Restricted Stock Plan approved
by the shareholders at their January 13, 1992,  meeting.  Under the plan, $7,000
of  the  combined  directors'  fees  paid  by the  Company  and  Indiana  Gas or
Investments to non-employee directors is in the form of restricted shares of the
Company.  The restricted shares are issued to each non-employee  director at the
beginning  of their  three-year  term,  and the number of  restricted  shares is
determined  by dividing  $21,000  ($7,000 for each year) by the per share market
price of the Company's stock during the period specified in the plan. To receive
the restricted  shares,  a director must consent to the restrictions in writing.
Directors may elect to receive the remaining  $14,000 in unrestricted  shares or
in cash.  To elect to receive  unrestricted  shares  instead of cash, a director
must provide an  irrevocable  written  election to the  secretary of the Company
before  the  beginning  of the  calendar  year for which the  election  relates.
Moreover,  if during  the  calendar  year a  non-employee  is  elected to fill a
vacancy  in the  board of  directors,  under the plan,  a one time  election  is
permitted to allow the director to receive the balance of that  calendar  year's
compensation in unrestricted shares.

Restricted shares may not be sold, transferred,  pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated  or  hypothecated,  other than by will or by the laws of  descent  and
distribution  until the first to occur of: (1) the  expiration of the director's
term of  office  for  which  the  grant  relates;  (2) the  grantee's  death  or
disability;  (3) the termination of the grantee's status as a director  pursuant
to  the  mandatory   retirement  policy  for  directors;   (4)  the  involuntary
termination of the grantee's status as a director; (5) approval by a majority of
the other directors of the grantee's voluntary  termination of his/her status as
a director  because of the  relocation of his/her  principal  place of residence
outside of  Indiana;  or (6) a change in control  of the  Company.  In no event,
however,  are the restricted shares transferable and free of restrictions before
the expiration of a six-month  period  beginning the first day of the director's
term of office or, if later, the date of issuance of the shares.

All  restricted  shares bear a legend citing the  restrictions  contained in the
plan. When the  restrictions  lapse,  the grantee is entitled to have the legend
removed from any shares or certificates.  Restrictions are lifted  automatically
upon the  expiration  of the  period to which  the  restrictions  apply.  On the
completion of the merger, as discussed in Note 2, restrictions on shares granted
under the Directors  Restricted Stock Plans will lift. If a director voluntarily
terminates  his/her  status  as such  before  the  expiration  of the  period of
restriction, any shares still subject to restriction are immediately forfeited.

The Company has reserved 85,919 shares for grant under the plan. As of September
30,  1999,  54,994  shares  remain in  reserve.  Those  shares  may  consist  of
authorized but unissued  shares or shares  reacquired by the Company,  including
shares  purchased  in the open market.  If any shares  subject to the grants are
forfeited, the forfeited shares become available for reissuance under the plan.

The  board  may  amend,  modify,  alter  or  terminate  the  plan  at any  time.
Amendments, modifications or alterations which would: (1) increase the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the plan, (2) materially  modify the class of
individuals  to whom  grants of shares may be made,  (3)  materially  modify the
manner in which  shares are  granted,  or (4)  materially  increase the benefits
accruing  to  grantees  under  the  plan,  must  be  approved  by the  Company's
shareholders.

Non-employee directors also receive a fee of $500 for each Company board meeting
attended and $500 for each board meeting of Indiana Gas or Investments attended.
Each non-employee member of a committee of the board is paid a fee of $1,000 for
each  meeting  of the  committee  attended,  and  each  non-employee  chair of a
committee  is paid a retainer of $3,000 and an  additional  fee of $500 for each
meeting attended.

There is a unfunded plan under which non-employee directors may defer all or any
part of fees  received  in cash  until  the  occurrence  of  certain  conditions
specified in the plan.  Under the plan, which has been in place since January 1,
1999, at the election of the  participant,  amounts  deferred are considered for
accounting  purposes  to be  invested  in  one  of  several  measurement  funds,
including  a company  phantom  stock fund,  with  returns  measured  pursuant to
formulas specified in the plan.  Currently,  the investment funds are consistent
with the investment funds available under the company's retirement savings plan.
This plan  replaced a deferred  compensation  plan that had been in effect since
fiscal year 1995.

(1)  The amounts shown in this column are payments  under the Annual  Management
     Incentive  Plan.  Amounts paid in any fiscal year are  attributable  to the
     Company's  performance in the prior fiscal year. The following payments (in
     thousands)  were  earned in fiscal year 1999 and have been  determined  and
     approved for  distribution by the Company's  compensation  committee:  L.A.
     Ferger ($ 227);N. C. Ellerbrook  ($204);  Paul T. Baker ($ 123); Anthony E.
     Ard ($ 77);  Timothy M. Hewitt ($ 56) and,  Carl L. Chapman ($ 120).  These
     payments will be shown in next year's summary compensation tables as fiscal
     year 2000 Bonus. With the exception of the Chief Executive  Officer,  these
     payments were determined based upon the company's financial  performance as
     determined by the consolidated return on equity relative to a peer group of
     companies,  and, with the  exception of the Chief  Executive  Officer,  the
     achievement of individual performance objectives.

(2)  The amounts  shown in this column are dividends  paid on restricted  shares
     issued under the Stock Plan relating to "Long-Term Incentive Compensation".

(3)  The amounts shown in this column represent the value of shares issued under
     the Executive Restricted Stock Plan (Stock Plan) and for which restrictions
     were lifted in each of those fiscal years. For instance,  the amounts shown
     for  fiscal  year  1997  represent  the  value of  one-third  of the  Third
     Measuring Period shares,  including the performance grant, issued under the
     Stock Plan and for which restrictions were lifted as of September 30, 1997.
     For fiscal year 1998, in contemplation  of additional  changes to the Stock
     Plan,  the board of  directors  approved an  amendment to the Stock Plan to
     postpone the lapsing of the  restrictions on shares from September 30, 1998
     until February 1, 1999.  With the exception of L. A. Ferger,  the executive
     officers  consented to the  postponement  of the lapsing of restrictions on
     their respective shares; consequently, after 1998 this column only reflects
     a value for the  issuance  of shares to Mr.  Ferger  under the Stock  Plan.
     After the  lifting of those  restrictions,  the  executive  officers,  as a
     group,  held 75,914  restricted  shares,  with an aggregate market value of
     those shares as of that date of  $1,522,835.  Those  shares  continue to be
     subject to  restrictions  imposed  by the Stock  Plan,  and they  represent
     one-third of the initial grant of the Fourth Measuring  Period shares,  and
     all of the initial  grants of the Fifth and Sixth  Measuring  Periods.  The
     number and value of  restricted  shares held by each  executive  officer on
     September 30, 1999, follows: L. A. Ferger - 31,528 shares,  $632,452;  Niel
     C.  Ellerbrook - 14,264  shares,  $286,136;  Paul T. Baker - 13,630 shares,
     $273,418;  Anthony E. Ard - 5,971  shares,  $119,778;  Timothy M.  Hewitt -
     4,484 shares, $89,949; and Carl L. Chapman - 6,037 shares, $121,102.

(1)  This column shows the  restricted  shares  awarded  during fiscal year 1999
     under the Stock  Plan.  The market  value of the shares on the dates of the
     grants is  determined  according to a formula in the Stock Plan based on an
     average price over a period of time preceding the grant. Dividends are paid
     directly  to the holders of the stock.  Included  is the  initial  grant of
     shares for the Sixth Measuring Period.

(2)  The  granting  of  additional  shares,  if  any,  and  the  application  of
     forfeiture  provisions  depends upon certain  measurements of the Company's
     total  return  to  shareholders  in  comparison  to  the  total  return  to
     shareholders of a predetermined group of comparable companies.

(3)  The Sixth Measuring Period initial grant shares,  which are included in the
     total number of shares shown in column (b) and are also set forth in column
     (e), are subject to forfeiture.  If the Company's  performance  compared to
     the peer group (peer group) during this  measuring  period places it in the
     bottom  quartile,  the  executive  officers  will forfeit all of the shares
     granted for this period. For fiscal year, 1999, companies in the peer group
     were as follows:  AGL Resources Inc.,  Atmos Energy Corp.,  Cascade Natural
     Gas Corp., CTG Resources, Inc., Eastern Enterprises, Energen Corp., Laclede
     Gas Co., MCN Energy Group,  Inc.  (formerly  MCN Corp.),  National Fuel gas
     Co.,  New Jersey  Resources  Corp.,  NICOR,  Inc.,  NW Natural,  NUI Corp.,
     Pennsylvania Enterprises,  Inc., Peoples Energy Corp., Piedmont Natural Gas
     Co.  Inc.,  Public  Service  Co.  of North  Carolina,  Inc.,  South  Jersey
     Industries,  Inc., SEMCO Energy,  Inc.,  Southern Union Co.,  Southwest Gas
     Corp.,  Southwestern  Energy Co., UGI Corp.,  Washington  Gas Light Co. and
     WICOR,  Inc.  In fiscal year 1999,  Bay State Gas Co. was removed  from the
     peer group, as it was merged out of existence. The companies to be included
     in the  peer  group  were  determined  by one of the  company's  investment
     bankers and approved by the company's Compensation Committee.

(4)  The Sixth Measuring Period initial grant shares,  which are the same as the
     total number of shares in column (b) are  presented in this column.  If the
     Company's  performance  compared to the peer group  during  this  measuring
     period places it in the middle two quartiles, these shares will vest.

(5)  Under the Stock Plan,  if the  Company's  performance  compared to the peer
     group during the Sixth Measuring  Period places it in the top quartile,  an
     additional  performance  grant equal to the original Sixth Measuring Period
     grant will be made.  In that event,  the shares shown in column (e) will be
     doubled.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The purpose of the Stock Plan is to retain and motivate the Company's  principal
officers and to increase  their  incentive to work toward the  attainment of the
Company's  long-term growth and profit objectives by providing them with a means
of acquiring or increasing their  proprietary  interests.  Under the Stock Plan,
the  compensation  committee  recommends  to the  board  of  directors,  and the
non-employee  directors  determine  the  executive  officers,  as well as  other
principal  officers,  to whom  grants  will be made and the  percentage  of each
officers  base  salary  to be used for  determining  the  number of shares to be
granted.

To be eligible for a grant,  a principal  must consent in writing to observe the
restrictions  imposed on the  shares.  The shares may not be sold,  transferred,
pledged,  or assigned until  restrictions are lifted.  For the three-year grants
that were provided under the Stock Plan through the end of fiscal year 1997, the
restrictions  are lifted in 33 1/3 percent  increments on the fourth,  fifth and
sixth anniversaries of the calendar day immediately preceding the first calendar
day of the measuring  period.  On the completion of the merger with SIGCORP,  as
discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  restrictions on
shares granted under the Stock Plan will lift.

The granting of additional shares, if any, and the application of the forfeiture
provisions,  depends upon two primary criteria:  (i) certain measurements of the
total return of the Company's  shareholders in comparison to the total return of
shareholders  of the  companies  in the  peer  group:  and  (ii)  the  continued
employment of the officer during the period of the restriction.

Effective  October 1, 1997,  the Stock Plan was  amended to provide  that grants
would be provided on an annual basis  instead of every three  years.  To reflect
the change from three-year  grants,  the percentage of the participant's  annual
salary that is used to determine the grant is no longer  subject to a multiplier
of three.  Although  grants  will still be subject to a three year total  return
performance  measuring  period,  all of the  restrictions  will be lifted on the
fourth anniversary of the calendar day immediately  preceding the first calendar
day of the measuring period applicable to that grant.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

During the past fiscal year, the Company sponsored the Retirement  Savings Plan,
which covers both  bargaining  and  non-bargaining  employees.  In general,  the
Savings Plan permits  participants  to elect to have not more than 19 percent of
their  qualified  compensation  (subject to certain  maximums  imposed on highly
compensated  employees by the Internal  Revenue Code) invested on a tax-deferred
basis in shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock or  various  investment  funds.
Non-bargaining   participants   in  the  Savings  Plan  have  matching   Company
contributions  made to the plan on their  behalf  equal to 100  percent of their
contributions  not  in  excess  of 6  percent  of  their  individual  redirected
compensation.

The Summary Compensation Table shows the value of contributions made to the plan
for executive officers in the column marked "All Other Compensation."

RETIREMENT PLANS

During the past fiscal  year,  the  Company  and  Indiana  Gas each  sponsored a
defined  benefit  pension plan covering  full-time  employees of the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries,  and of Indiana Gas, respectively, who meet certain
age and service  requirements.  The Company's  plan covers  salaried  employees,
including executive  officers,  and provides fixed benefits at normal retirement
age based upon compensation and length of service,  the costs of which are fully
paid by the employer and are  computed on an actuarial  basis.  The pension plan
also provides for benefits upon death,  disability  and early  retirement  under
conditions specified therein. The remuneration covered by this plan includes all
compensation  for regular work periods  (excluding  overtime,  bonuses and other
forms of additional compensation).

On January 1, 1999, this plan was converted to a cash balance pension plan which
provides  participants  the  opportunity to receive lump sum benefits in lieu of
fixed  monthly  benefits.  The amount of the lump sum benefit is based on annual
accruals which relate to the  participant's  compensation.  In order to ease the
transition  of the  plan  conversion,  the plan has  special  grandfather  rules
applicable  to  participants  at  certain  service  levels and ages to avoid any
reduction in their benefits under the plan.

During the past  fiscal  year,  the  Company  had a  supplemental  pension  plan
covering  the  principal  officers  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries.  The
supplemental pension plan provides fixed benefits at normal retirement age based
upon  compensation  and is  computed on an  actuarial  basis.  The  supplemental
pension  plan also  provides  for  benefits  upon  death,  disability  and early
retirement under conditions specified therein,  including service  requirements.
This supplemental  pension plan also provides a reduced benefit to a participant
who voluntarily  terminates his employment with a participating  employer (which
may consist of the  Company or one or more of its  subsidiaries)  before  normal
retirement  age (65),  but  following  a change in control of the  Company.  The
remuneration  covered by the supplemental pension plan includes all compensation
for  regular  work  periods  (including  incentive  payments  and other forms of
additional compensation).

Upon retirement at or after age 65, any participant in the supplemental  pension
plan will,  in general,  be entitled to an annual  pension for life which,  when
added  to  primary  Social  Security  benefits,  defined  benefit  pension  plan
benefits,  described  above,  and  benefits  under the  Retirement  Savings Plan
attributable  to   contributions   by   participants'   employers,   will  equal
approximately 65 percent of the participant's average annual compensation during
the 60  consecutive  calendar  months  immediately  preceding the  participant's
retirement  date.  The  amounts  paid under the  supplemental  pension  plan are
unfunded and are paid from the general assets of the Company.

The following table illustrates the estimated normal annual retirement  benefits
payable  to a covered  participant  retiring  at age 65 under  the  supplemental
pension  plan  and  under  the  defined  benefit  plan  based  on the  specified
remuneration and under the Retirement Savings Plan attributable to contributions
made by the Company  and, as  pertinent,  one or more of its  subsidiaries.  The
compensation  included  in the  Summary  Compensation  Table  under  salary  and
payments under the annual  Incentive Plan qualifies as remuneration for purposes
of these plans. The amounts shown do not reflect reductions,  which would result
from joint and survivor elections.

(1)  The  compensation  covered by the plans  includes the salary and  incentive
     payments shown on the Summary  Compensation Table. Years of service are not
     used in  calculating  the benefit  amount under the  Unfunded  Supplemental
     Retirement  Plan. The amounts shown above are offset by Social Security and
     benefits under the Retirement  Savings Plan  attributable to  contributions
     made by the Company and, as pertinent, one or more of its subsidiaries.

(2)  Although  the benefit  attributable  to the  Savings  Plan may be paid in a
     single lump sum payment,  it has been  converted  to an annual  benefit for
     purposes of this table. The estimated aggregate annual pension plan benefit
     may be greater than the amounts in the table to the extent that the Savings
     Plan benefit,  after  conversion to an annual benefit and when added to the
     annual  benefit under the  applicable  defined  benefit  plan,  exceeds the
     amount  specified  in the table.  Since the  Savings  Plan has only been in
     effect  for a few  years,  it is  unlikely  in the  near  future  that  the
     aggregated  Savings Plan benefit and defined  benefit  plan  benefits  will
     exceed the amount specified in the table.

EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION BENEFITS AGREEMENTS

The Company,  with  approval of the board of  directors,  has entered into three
year  employment  agreements  with the executive  officers listed in the Summary
Compensation  Table.  Each agreement  continues  unless notice of termination is
given be either party, in which event the agreement will terminate approximately
three years from the date of notice.  The period between notice and  termination
is defined as an  "employment  period"  under each  agreement.  Each  officer is
entitled  to  compensation  consisting  of the annual  aggregate  base salary or
salaries,  and such additional  compensation as the board determines  throughout
the  employment  period.  Each  agreement is also subject to  termination in the
event of  disability,  death,  or voluntary  retirement by the individual or his
termination for cause.

There is also additional  termination  benefits payable to the executives in the
event of their termination for reasons other than disability,  death,  voluntary
retirement or  termination  for cause.  These  termination  benefits are payable
under the following  conditions if the  employment of an executive is terminated
during the employment period:

             The Company  terminates  the  employment  of the  executive for any
             reason (other than for cause, death, the executive's  attainment of
             age 65, or the executive's disability): or

             The executive  voluntary  terminates his employment for good reason
             (as defined below): or

             The executive voluntarily  terminates his employment without reason
             during  the  thirty  day  period  immediately  following  the first
             anniversary of an acquisition of control of the Company.

For purposes of the  employment  agreements,  the term "good  reason"  before an
acquisition of control means a material  breach of the  employment  agreement by
the Company.  After an acquisition of control,  the term "good reason" means any
material change in the terms of the executive's employment with the Company.

The  benefits  payable  to the  executive  upon  the  early  termination  of the
employment  period include a lump sum payment of the remaining salary payable to
the executive if he continued his  employment for the duration of the employment
period,  a minimum  bonus or  bonuses  (determined  based on his  highest  bonus
payable to the executive during the immediately  preceding three years) for each
of the years,  or portion  thereof,  remaining in the employment  period and the
actuarial  equivalent of any benefits  which will not be earned by the executive
as a result of his termination  before the completion of the employment  period,
including benefits under nonqualified retirement and welfare plans maintained by
the Company. In addition, any restricted stock held by the executive will become
fully vested. Finally to the extent that payment of the benefits would result in
an excise tax  payable  by the  executive  under  Section  280G of the  Internal
Revenue Code,  the Company will make an  additional  payment to the executive to
offset completely the effect of the excise tax.

The  benefits  described  above apply to all  executive  officers  listed in the
Summary  Compensation  Table other than Timothy M. Hewitt. Mr. Hewitt's benefits
are predicated upon a 24 month  employment  period versus a 36 month period.  In
addition, Mr. Hewitt is not entitled to the gross-up payment, if applicable, for
any excise tax payable under the Internal revenue Code Section 280G.




Item 12.      Securities Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The  Company  has one  class of  capital  stock  outstanding,  consisting  as of
November 30, 1999, of 29,804,590  shares of Common Stock without par value.  The
number  of  shares  contained  in  this  report  reflects  adjustments  for  the
four-for-three stock split, which was approved by the board of directors on July
31,  1998,  and  became  effective  on  October  2,  1998.  The  holders  of the
outstanding  shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held
of record on each matter presented to a vote of the shareholders.

In  connection  with the  Company's  acquisition  of  Richmond  Gas  Corporation
("Richmond") and Terre Haute Gas Corporation  ("Terre Haute"),  shares of Common
Stock of the Company  were issued to certain  members of the Anton  Hulman,  Jr.
family, certain corporations  controlled by them, certain trusts established for
their benefit and certain other persons with personal or business  relationships
with the family  (collectively,  the "Hulman Interests").  At November 30, 1999,
the Hulman Interests  beneficially owned an aggregate of 3,615,603 shares of the
Company,  which  comprised  12.13  percent of the Company's  outstanding  Common
Stock.  At November 30, 1999, the following  beneficial  owners held more than 5
percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, the only class of voting
securities outstanding:

                                                                       Nature of
 Title of     Name and Address of      Number of Shares     Beneficial Percent

           Terre Haute, Indiana 47807



As a result of the  attribution  to certain  persons of shares  held by Hulman &
Company, the following persons are deemed to be beneficial owners of more than 5
percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company:

   Common      M. Josephine George          2,119,193              7.11%



The number of shares  held  beneficially  by Mari H.  George,  Anton H.  George,
Katherine  M.  George,  Nancy L. George and M.  Josephine  George each  includes
2,113,247  shares  held by Hulman & Company as to which  each,  as a director of
Hulman & Company,  may be deemed to share voting power and investment power. The
number of shares  held  beneficially  by Mari H. George and Anton H. George each
includes   289,864   shares  held  by   Rose-Hulman   Institute  of   Technology
("Rose-Hulman")  as to which  Anton H.  George,  as a member  of the  Investment
Management  Committee of the Board of Trustees of  Rose-Hulman,  and as to which
Mari H.  George,  as a member of the Board of  Trustees,  may be deemed to share
voting power and investment  power,  and as to which each  disclaims  beneficial
ownership. Laura L. George is the wife of Anton H. George, and the shares listed
for her are those  beneficially  owned by Mr. George.  Laura L. George disclaims
beneficial  ownership  of  all  such  shares.  The  information  furnished  here
regarding beneficial ownership is derived from the Schedule 13D, as amended most
recently on June 29, 1994, filed by the Hulman Interests with the Securities and
Exchange Commission,  and Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed through September 30, 1999. The
filing of the Schedule 13D by the Hulman  Interests did not affirm the existence
of a "group" within the meaning of Section  13(d)(3) of the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934 or the regulations promulgated under it.

The  following  table  sets  forth the  number of shares of Common  Stock of the
Company  beneficially owned by the directors,  the chief executive officer,  the
five  additional  named  executive  officers,  and all  directors  and executive
officers as a group,  as of September 30, 1999.  Except as otherwise  indicated,
each individual has sole voting and investment  power with respect to the shares
