The company has adopted FAS 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This standard requires that comprehensive income, which includes net income as well as certain changes in assets and liabilities recorded in common equity, be reported in the financial statements. There were no components of comprehensive income other than net income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. B. As reported in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 1999, the assets of TeCom were sold for $1.0 million in cash in November 1999. The company decided to exit the automated energy management systems business because it lacked the distribution channels necessary to effectively reach the markets for its products. TECO Energy reported a net after-tax loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $12.9 million in the third quarter of 1999. As a result of the company's intention to sell this business, all activities of the subsidiary through Sept. 1, 1999, the measurement date, were reported as discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income. After-tax losses from discontinued operations were $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999, and $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Total revenues from discontinued operations related to TeCom were $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively. There were no revenues reported in 2000. C. A $0.6 million after-tax gain on disposal of discontinued operations was recorded in the first quarter of 1999 relating to the sale of TECO Oil & Gas Inc.'s offshore assets previously reported in the company's Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the years ended Dec. 31, 1998 and 1999. There were no significant revenues from the discontinued oil and gas operations in 2000 or 1999. D. TECO Energy and its subsidiaries have made certain commitments in connection with their continuing capital expenditure program and estimate that capital expenditures for continuing operations during 2000 will be as follows: millions -------- Tampa Electric Company Tampa Electric division $251 Peoples Gas System division 75 TECO Power Services Corporation 147 TECO Transport Corporation 12 TECO Coal Corporation 50 Other diversified businesses 13 ---- $548 TECO Power Services Corporation - investment in unconsolidated affiliates $ 54 ==== Tampa Electric Company is a potentially responsible party for certain superfund sites, and through its Peoples Gas System division, for certain manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liability associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, Tampa Electric Company estimates its ultimate financial liability at approximately $20 million over the next 10 years. The environmental remediation costs associated with these sites are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices. 7 8 FORM 10-Q E. Revenues in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 reflected the deferral for refund to customers of $2.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively, of electric revenues associated with 1999 earnings at Tampa Electric. These deferred revenues resulted from Tampa Electric's regulatory agreement that ended on Dec. 31, 1999. Tampa Electric expects the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) staff to closely monitor the company's achieved return on equity during 2000, but not to require Tampa Electric to negotiate a new regulatory plan. On Aug. 1, 2000, the FPSC approved a stipulation entered into by the Office of Public Counsel, Florida Industrial Power Users Group (FIPUG), and Tampa Electric settling the deferred revenue refund amount for 1997 and 1998. From Sept. 1, 2000 through Dec. 31, 2000, Tampa Electric will refund $13 million to its customers which was the amount originally approved by the FPSC for the years 1997 and 1998. As a result, this amount was anticipated and recorded in earnings before the FIPUG filed its protest in which the stipulation was reached. The exact amount of the 1999 refund is expected to be settled by year end. Tampa Electric does not expect these refunds to have a significant impact on earnings. F. The total income tax provisions differ from amounts computed by applying the federal statutory tax rate to income before income taxes for the following reasons: THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------ ------------------ (in millions) 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------ ------ ------ ------ Net income from continuing operations $ 57.5 $ 52.8 $111.0 $102.3 Total income tax provision 8.7 22.0 29.4 43.3 ------ ------ ------ ------ Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ 66.2 $ 74.8 $140.4 $145.6 ====== ====== ====== ====== Income taxes on above at federal statutory rate of 35% $ 23.2 $ 26.2 $ 49.2 $ 51.0 Increase (Decrease) due to: State income tax, net of federal income tax 1.8 2.4 3.9 4.6 Amortization of investment tax credits (1.3) (1.3) (2.5) (2.5) Non-conventional fuels tax credit (13.2) (4.4) (17.4) (8.5) Permanent reinvestment for foreign income (2.1) (0.4) (4.8) (0.4) Other 0.3 (0.5) 1.0 (0.9) ------ ------ ------ ------ Total income tax provision from continuing operations $ 8.7 $ 22.0 $ 29.4 $ 43.3 ====== ====== ====== ====== Provision for income taxes as a percent of income from continuing operations, before income taxes 13.2% 29.5% 21.0% 29.7% ====== ====== ====== ====== 8 9 FORM 10-Q G.

In late September 1999, TECO Energy, Inc. announced a program to repurchase up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock. Shares acquired constitute treasury shares. In the six months ended June 30, 2000, the company acquired 1.6 million shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of $29.9 million; the average per share price was $18.62. Since the program was announced, the company has acquired 7.0 million shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of $144.7 million at an average per share price of $20.55. The company's share repurchase program favorably impacted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2000 by approximately $.01 per share and by approximately $.02 per share for the year-to-date period. 9 10 FORM 10-Q I. In February 2000, TECO Energy, Inc. entered into an agreement to form US Propane, a joint venture, to combine its Peoples Gas Company (PGC) propane operations with the propane operations of Atmos Energy Corporation, AGL Resources Inc. and Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. In June 2000, US Propane announced that it would combine with Heritage Propane Partners, L.P. to create the fourth largest retail propane distributor in the United States that will distribute propane to over 480,000 customers in 28 states. Through a series of transactions completed Aug. 10, 2000, US Propane sold its propane business to Heritage Propane Partners for approximately $180 million in cash and other consideration, and purchased all of the outstanding common stock of Heritage Holdings, Inc., the general partner of Heritage Propane Partners, for $120 million. US Propane now owns the general partner interest and 34 percent of the limited partnership interests of Heritage Propane Partners. TECO Energy, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary TECO Propane Ventures, LLC, will account for its approximately 38 percent interest in US Propane under the equity method of accounting. J. The management of TECO Energy determined its reportable segments based on each subsidiary's contribution of revenues, operating income and total assets. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of TECO Energy but are included in determining reportable segments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements include the following: general economic conditions, particularly those in Tampa Electric's service area affecting energy sales; weather variations affecting energy sales and operating costs; potential competitive changes in the electric and gas industries, particularly in the area of retail competition; regulatory actions affecting Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas System; commodity price changes affecting the competitive positions of Tampa Electric and the Peoples Gas companies as well as margins at TECO Coalbed Methane and TECO Coal; changes in and compliance with environmental regulations that may impose additional costs or curtail some activities; TECO Power Services' ability to successfully develop and operate its projects and TECO Coal's ability to successfully operate its synthetic fuel production facilities in a manner qualifying for Section 29 Federal Income tax credits. Some of these factors are discussed more fully under "Investment Considerations" in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 1999, and reference is made thereto. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000: Net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $57.5 million, or $.46 per share, up from $52.8 million, or $.40 per share. for the three-month period ended June 30, 1999. Net income including discontinued operations for the second quarter of 1999 was $51.9 million, or $.39 per share. The 9-percent increase over last year's net income from operations and the 15-percent growth in EPS from 1999's second quarter reflected the favorable impact of synthetic fuel production at TECO Coal, higher operating revenues driven by strong customer growth in the core electric and gas businesses, increased contributions at TECO Power Services from the San Jose Power Station, and higher gas prices at TECO Coalbed Methane. These were partially offset by higher costs and expenses. TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY - ELECTRIC DIVISION (TAMPA ELECTRIC) Tampa Electric's net income for the quarter increased approximately 3 percent, driven primarily by improved retail energy sales volumes, which were 6 percent higher for the quarter, partially offset by higher costs. Growth in retail customers was 3 percent. Expenses for the quarter increased, reflecting higher depreciation and accelerated maintenance expenses to enhance summer unit availability. Prior year results were favorably impacted by U.S. Department of Energy credits associated with the Polk Power Station, which expired at the end of 1999. Results for the current quarter include the favorable impact of cost recovery from the scrubber investment at Big Bend Station, which was placed into service in December 1999. A summary of the operating statistics for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 is below: (in millions, except average customers) OPERATING REVENUES KILOWATT-HOUR SALES --------------------------------- -------------------------------- THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 1999 CHANGE 2000 1999 CHANGE -------- -------- ------ ------- ------- ------ Residential $ 149.7 $ 135.5 10.5% 1,818.0 1,690.8 7.5% Commercial 94.5 86.4 9.4% 1,412.6 1,332.5 6.0% Industrial - Phosphate 15.8 13.8 14.8% 340.3 317.3 7.2% Industrial - Other 16.0 13.9 15.2% 280.6 257.2 9.1% Other sales of electricity 24.2 21.5 12.6% 343.8 313.8 9.5% Deferred and other revenues 5.8 5.7 2.2% -- -- -- -------- -------- ------- ------- 306.0 276.8 10.6% 4,195.3 3,911.6 7.3% Sales for resale 26.9 21.0 28.5% 631.2 522.2 20.9% Other operating revenue 7.5 6.6 12.7% -- -- -- -------- -------- ------- ------- $ 340.4 $ 304.4 11.9% 4,826.5 4,433.8 8.9% ======== ======== ======= ======= Average customers 557.6 540.9 3.1% ======== ======== System Net Input 4,565.2 4,308.2 6.0% ======= ======= 13 14 FORM 10-Q A generator failure caused an unplanned outage at Tampa Electric's 385-megawatt Gannon Station Unit 6 on July 18, 2000. The unit is currently being repaired and is expected to be back in service by the end of 2000. Tampa Electric has been purchasing and expects to continue to purchase replacement power to meet peak loads until the unit returns to service. The estimated replacement power costs of approximately $20 million is expected to be fully recovered through the fuel adjustment cost recovery clause. It is expected that most of these repair costs will be covered by insurance and the remaining amount will be capitalized. As a result, the outage is not expected to have a significant impact on Tampa Electric's operating income. TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY - NATURAL GAS DIVISION (PEOPLES GAS SYSTEM) Net income at Peoples Gas System (PGS) increased 19 percent to $4.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared with $3.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by customer growth of 4 percent and corresponding higher volumes. Commercial volumes were up 5-percent, while residential volumes were down slightly. Lower margin sales to interruptible wholesale and electric power generation customers were up 23- percent. Depreciation was higher reflecting the company's continuing expansion efforts, while operation and maintenance expenses were essentially even with last year.

The City has suspended negotiations for a renewed agreement; however, normal operations in Lakeland have continued under the terms of the expired agreement. Lakeland provided approximately $2 million of PGS' annual operating revenues in 1999. DIVERSIFIED COMPANIES - OPERATING RESULTS TECO POWER SERVICES (TPS) recorded significantly higher net income of $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $3.5 million for the same period last year. The increase primarily reflects commencement of operation of the 120-megawatt San Jose Power Station in Guatemala in January and of the Hardee Power Station expansion in May of this year. TECO TRANSPORT recorded second quarter net income of $6.4 million, down slightly from $6.9 million last year. Results for the quarter reflected lower phosphate movements and significantly higher fuel costs, partially offset by higher 14 15 FORM 10-Q revenues from strong Tampa Electric and export grain tonnages, and increased northbound movements on the river systems. TECO COAL reported net income of $7.2 million in the second quarter, an increase of $3.6 million over the same period last year, reflecting the addition of the synthetic fuel facilities in the second quarter of 2000. TECO Coal's results for the second quarter of 2000 included $9.1 million of Federal Income Tax credits on the coal produced and sold from these synthetic fuel facilities. TECO Coal's results also reflected the expiration of the Tampa Electric contract at the end of 1999, which partially offset the increase from the operation of the synthetic fuel facilities. TECO Energy's other diversified companies recorded net income of $5.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, an increase of over 7% from $5.4 million for the same period last year. The increase was driven primarily by improved results at TECO Coalbed Methane due to higher gas prices. OTHER Allowance for other funds used during construction (AFUDC) was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 up from $0.2 million for the same period last year. AFUDC is expected to increase over the next several years reflecting Tampa Electric's generation expansion activities. Interest charges were $39.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 compared to $27.6 million for the same period in 1999. Financing costs were higher for the second quarter reflecting higher borrowing levels and higher interest rates. The effective income tax rate on net income from continuing operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 was 13.2 percent compared to 29.5 percent last year. This decrease primarily reflects the substantial increase in non-conventional fuels tax credits related to the recently acquired synthetic fuel facilities at TECO Coal. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, these tax credits totaled $9.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively at TECO Coal and TECO Coalbed Methane, compared to $4.4 million at TECO Coalbed Methane for the same quarter last year. The decrease also reflects the tax impact for increased foreign operations versus the same period last year. (See Note F on page 8.) SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000: Year-to-date net income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $111.0 million, or $.88 per share, up from $102.3 million, or $.78 per share, for the same period last year. Net income including discontinued operations was $101.1, or $.77 per share, for the six-months ended June 30, 1999. The 9-percent increase over last year's net income from operations and the 13-percent EPS growth from 1999's year-to-date results, as previously noted in the quarterly discussion, reflected the favorable impact of the commercial operation of TECO Coal's new synthetic fuel facilities, higher revenues driven by customer growth in the core electric and gas businesses, earnings growth at TECO Power Services driven by new projects including the San Jose Power Station, and higher gas prices for TECO Coalbed Methane. These were partially offset by higher costs and expenses. TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY - ELECTRIC DIVISION (TAMPA ELECTRIC) Tampa Electric's year-to-date net income increased to $64.3 million compared to $62.1 million for the same period last year. The approximate 4-percent increase was driven primarily by improved retail energy sales volumes, which were 7-percent higher year-to-date. Growth in retail customers was 3-percent. Year-to-date expenses increased over last year reflecting higher depreciation and accelerated maintenance expenses to enhance summer unit availability. Prior year results reflected U.S. Department of Energy credits associated with the Polk Power Station, which expired at the end of 1999.

The increase was primarily driven by customer growth and corresponding higher volumes. Commercial volumes and residential volumes were up 9-percent and 11- percent, respectively, for the year. Lower margin sales to interruptible wholesale and electric power generation customers were up 26 percent year-to-date. Depreciation was higher reflecting the company's continuing expansion efforts while operation and maintenance expenses were slightly higher.

The $10.9 million increase primarily reflects commencement of operation of the 120-megawatt San Jose Power Station in Guatemala in January and the commercial operation of the Hardee Power Station expansion in May of this year. Higher business development expenses partially offset the increases. 16 17 FORM 10-Q TECO TRANSPORT'S year-to-date net income was $14.3 million, an increase of over 9 percent compared to last year's $13.1 million. This increase was driven by higher revenues from strong Tampa Electric, export grain and northbound river tonnages offsetting higher fuel costs and lower phosphate movements, and higher gains on asset dispositions in 2000 versus 1999. . TECO COAL reported net income year-to-date of $8.6 million, an increase of $1.2 million over last year reflecting the addition of the synthetic fuel facilities in the second quarter of 2000. TECO Coal's six-month results included $9.1 million of Federal Income Tax credits on the coal produced and sold from the synthetic fuel facilities. TECO Coal's results also reflect the expiration of the Tampa Electric contract at the end of 1999, which partially offset the increase from the operation of the synthetic fuel facilities. TECO Energy's other diversified companies recorded net income of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of over 8 percent from net income of $11.6 million for the same period last year. The increase was driven primarily by improved results at TECO Coalbed Methane due to higher gas prices. OTHER Year-to-date allowance for other funds used during construction (AFUDC) was $1.0 million compared to $0.2 million for the same period last year. AFUDC is expected to increase over the next several years reflecting Tampa Electric's generation expansion activities. Interest charges were $75.0 million for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2000 compared to $53.7 million for the same period in 1999. This increase is a result of higher borrowing levels and higher interest rates. The effective income tax rate on net income from continuing operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 was 21.0 percent compared to 29.7 percent last year. This decrease primarily reflects the substantial increase in non-conventional fuels tax credits related to the recently acquired synthetic fuel facilities at TECO Coal. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, these tax credits totaled $9.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively at TECO Coal and TECO Coalbed Methane, compared to $8.5 million at TECO Coalbed Methane for the same period last year. The decrease also reflects the tax impact for increased foreign operations versus the same period last year. (See Note F on page 8.) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In November 1999, TECO Energy's automated energy management system subsidiary, TeCom, sold its assets for $1.0 million in cash. The after-tax loss from discontinued operations for the three-and six-months ended June 30, 1999 were $0.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively. (See Note B on page 7.) In March, 1999, TECO Oil & Gas sold its subordinated note from American Resources Offshore, Inc. (ARO) to a third party for $500,000 in cash. In a separate transaction, ARO agreed to assume disputed joint billing payments of approximately $425,000. The net gain of $0.6 million recorded in 1999's first quarter related to these two transactions. (See Note C on page 7.) LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION TECO Energy anticipates that internally generated funds will meet most of its capital requirements for ongoing operations and commitments. However, the company expects that some part of its capital requirements, as well as any significant new investments, will be funded with external capital, which may include debt of various maturities, preferred stock or common stock. Construction work in progress decreased by $39 million since Dec. 31, 1999, due to placing the San Jose plant in service partially offset by additional expenditures related to equipment startup and commissioning activities for the Hamakua Power Station project and ongoing construction activities for the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station facility as discussed below. Notes payable increased $353 million since Dec. 31, 1999, reflecting the additions of the San Jose plant, expenditures for the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station, purchase of synthetic fuel facilities and the acquisition of an additional interest in the ECK Generating Project. Each of these matters is described below. TECO Energy expects to replace a portion of its short-term debt with longer term borrowings during the second half of 2000. In September 1999, TECO Energy announced a program for the repurchase of up to $150 million of its outstanding common stock. To date, the company has acquired 7.0 million shares of its outstanding common stock at a cost of $144.7 million. (See Note H on page 9.) 17 18 FORM 10-Q In November 1999, TM Power Ventures L.L.C. (TMPV), a joint venture between TECO Power Services and Mosbacher Power Partners L.P., executed an agreement with NCP of Virginia, L.L.C. to build, own and operate a 312-megawatt electric generating facility on the Delmarva Peninsula in Virginia. This generating facility, the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station, is scheduled to be on-line in two phases with 135 megawatts expected to be in service in August 2000 and the remaining capacity expected to be in service by June 2001. The estimated $175 million project cost is expected to be financed with non-recourse debt and equity from the partners. Plans for the financing of the project are proceeding, and based upon the projected timing for permit receipts and project completion, the expected funding date is early September 2000. Also in November 1999, TPS announced its 50-percent participation in a 60-megawatt facility under construction in Hamakua, Hawaii. The project continues to make draws under a lease financing arrangement, which is supported by guarantees from the project sponsors. Commercial operation of the facility is scheduled for late November 2000. In January 2000, TMPV acquired an additional 13.35-percent ownership interest in the ECK Generating Project, increasing TPS' investment in the Czech project by $19.5 million. TMPV is continuing its efforts to seek a qualified buyer for TMPV's entire interest in the project. As previously discussed in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2000, TPS became the 100-percent owner of the San Jose Power Station in February 2000. Conversion of the construction loan to permanent non-recourse financing was delayed, and closing on the financing is now scheduled to occur in August 2000. In January 2000, TECO Coal purchased two existing synthetic fuel production facilities which qualify for Section 29 tax credits through 2007. Commercial operation began well ahead of schedule during the second quarter of 2000. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On May 3, 2000, the governor of Florida by executive order created a commission charged with proposing a comprehensive energy plan and strategy for the state. The 17 member Energy 2020 Study Commission will address issues including the current and future reliability of electric and natural gas supply, emerging energy supply and delivery options, electrical industry competition, environmental impacts of energy supply, energy conservation, and fiscal impacts of energy supply options on taxpayers and energy providers. The Commission will convene its first meeting in September 2000, and will provide a written report containing specific recommendations, including legislature recommendations, by December 1, 2001. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING In 1998, the FASB issued FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The new standard, as amended, requires an entity to recognize derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the financial statements, to measure those instruments at fair value and to reflect the changes in fair value of those instruments as either components of comprehensive income or in net income, depending on the types of those instruments. In preparation for adoption of this Statement effective Jan. 1, 2001, the company has completed an analysis of the information required by FAS 133, and is continuing to evaluate and document all derivatives and hedging relationships. From time to time, TECO Energy has entered into futures, swaps and options contracts to hedge the selling price for its physical production at TECO Coalbed Methane, to limit exposure to gas price increases at both the regulated natural gas utility and unregulated propane business, and to limit exposure to fuel price increases at TECO Transport. TECO Energy has not used derivatives or other financial products for speculative purposes. The company does not anticipate that the adoption of FAS 133 will significantly impact its financial statements since activity in derivatives has been relatively minimal and short-term in duration. Management will continue to evaluate all current and possible future uses of derivatives, including their effectiveness for hedging, and to apply appropriate procedures and methods for valuing them. ACCOUNTING FOR REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE COSTS FOR PLANNED MAJOR MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES TECO Energy and its subsidiaries charge the cost of repairs and maintenance to expense as incurred. One exception to this is at TPS' Alborada Power Station in Guatemala (TCAE). For this facility, revenue deferrals are recorded to recognize the portion of billings that reflect payments for major maintenance and overhaul expenses that will take place in the future. This liability is included on the balance sheet in Other deferred credits. Amounts deferred are not significant. 18 19 FORM 10-Q ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Interest Rate Risk TECO Energy is exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of its borrowing activities. A hypothetical 10-percent increase in TECO Energy's weighted average interest rate on its variable rate debt would not have a significant impact on TECO Energy's pretax earnings over the next fiscal year. A hypothetical 10-percent decrease in interest rates would not have a significant impact on the estimated fair value of TECO Energy's long-term debt at June 30, 2000. Based on policies and procedures approved by the Board of Directors, from time to time TECO Energy or its affiliates may enter into futures, swaps and option contracts to moderate exposure to interest rate changes. Commodity Price Risk Currently, at Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas System, commodity price increases due to changes in market conditions for fuel, purchased power and natural gas are recovered through cost recovery clauses, with no effect on earnings. TECO Coalbed Methane is exposed to commodity price risk through the sale of natural gas, and TECO Coal is exposed to commodity price risk through coal sales. As TECO Power Services develops the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station, and other similar projects, the company may utilize futures, swaps and option contracts in connection with the marketing of power in order to reduce the variability of electricity selling prices. From time to time, TECO Energy or its affiliates may enter into futures, swaps and options contracts to hedge the selling price for physical production at TECO Coalbed Methane, to limit exposure to gas price increases at both the regulated natural gas utility and unregulated propane business, or to limit exposure to fuel price increases at TECO Transport. TECO Energy and its affiliates do not use derivatives or other financial products for speculative purposes. 19 20 FORM 10-Q PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS As previously reported, Gatliff Coal Company, a subsidiary of TECO Coal, has been the subject of a federal investigation arising from the discharge of waste water from an orphan mine pit that allegedly was not in compliance with discharge restrictions in applicable permits. In July 2000, in order to resolve this matter, Gatliff entered a guilty plea to a misdemeanor violation of the Rivers and Harbors Act for negligent discharge of waste, and agreed to pay a fine of $20,000 and contribute $180,000 to environmental protection projects in the region. Sentencing is scheduled for sometime in September 2000. Gatliff's plea is conditioned on the finalization of a compliance agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency providing that neither Gatliff nor its affiliates will be subject to debarment or suspension with respect to governmental contracts as a result of this plea. If such compliance agreement is not completed prior to sentencing, Gatliff may withdraw its plea. ITEM 6.
