of litigation, provided those statements are identified as forward-looking and

projected in the statement. Forward-looking statements have been and will be
made in written documents and oral presentations of Southern Indiana Gas and

in Indiana Gas Company Inc. documents or oral presentations, the words
"believe," "anticipate," "endeavor," "estimate," "expect," "objective,"
"projection," "forecast," "goal," and similar expressions are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions and other
factors referred to specifically in connection with such forward-looking
statements, factors that could cause Indiana Gas Company Inc.'s actual results
