CENTRAL AND SOUTH WEST CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
Set forth below is information concerning the consolidated
results of operations for CSW for the three month and six month
periods ending June 30, 1995. For information concerning the results
of operations for each of the Electric Operating Companies, see the
discussions below under the heading RESULTS OF OPERATIONS following
the financial statements of each of the Electric Operating Companies.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock was
unchanged at $103 million during the second quarter of 1995 compared
to the second quarter of 1994. Earnings per share decreased to $0.54
from $0.55 due to an increase in the number of shares of CSW common
stock outstanding. Included in the second quarter 1995 results was
the establishment of a reserve of $42 million for deferred merger and
acquisition costs as a result of CSW's termination of the Merger on
June 9, 1995. Also impacting earnings were increased interest costs
and lower earnings from Mirror CWIP liability amortization.
Offsetting these factors were increased gas revenues, non-fuel
electric revenues and prior year tax adjustments.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased 1% to $920
million in the second quarter of 1995 from $908 million in the second
quarter of 1994. This increase reflects increased gas revenues offset
partially by decreased electric revenues. Gas revenues increased due
to higher gas sales and transportation which were offset partially by
lower gas prices. Electric revenues decreased primarily due to lower
fuel revenues in the second quarter of 1995 compared to the second
quarter of 1994. Total retail Kwh sales increased 2.2% in the second
quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994.
Residential, commercial and industrial sales were up 2.5%, 1.9% and
2.1%, respectively. Increased usage, primarily by industrial
customers, and new residential and commercial customers, contributed
to the Kwh sales growth.
Fuel and Purchased Power. Fuel and purchased power expense
decreased 12% to $257 million in the second quarter of 1995 from $292
million in the second quarter of 1994. The total composite unit cost
of fuel decreased 8% to $1.65 per Mmbtu in the second quarter of 1995
from $1.79 per Mmbtu in the second quarter of 1994, reflecting lower
gas, lignite and nuclear fuel prices and increased use of less costly
nuclear fuel. These lower costs reduced total fuel expense $34
million. Purchased power decreased $1 million or 8% in the second
quarter of 1995.
Gas Purchased for Resale. Gas purchased for resale increased 27%
to $76 million in the second quarter of 1995 from $60 million in the
second quarter of 1994 due to an increase in gas sales volumes which
was partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of gas.
Charges for Terminated Merger. CSW recorded a $42 million charge
for the establishment of a reserve for deferred merger and acquisition
costs as a result of CSW's termination of the Merger on June 9, 1995.
See Part II - Other Information - Item 1. for additional information
related to the termination of the Merger and litigation arising in
connection therewith.
CSW RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
Maintenance. Maintenance decreased 9% to $41 million in the
second quarter of 1995 from $45 million in the second quarter of 1994.
This decrease was due primarily to lower levels of maintenance
associated with STP.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization
increased 3% from $89 million to $92 million due primarily to
increases in all classes of depreciable plant.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $26 million
during the second quarter of 1995 from $46 million during the second
quarter of 1994. This decrease resulted primarily from prior year tax
adjustments at the Electric Operating Companies as well as lower pre-
tax income. See NOTE 6. Federal Income Taxes for additional
information related to the tax adjustments.
Other Income and Deductions. Mirror CWIP liability amortization
decreased 35% to $11 million in the second quarter of 1995 from $17
million in the second quarter of 1994. The decrease reflects the
original liability amortization schedule agreed upon in the settlement
of CPL rate cases in 1990 and 1991. Other income increased $6 million
during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of
1994. The increase was primarily attributable to the reclassification
of CSWE's operating activities. Prior to 1994, CSWE was in the
developmental stage of its business and, accordingly, its operating
activities were classified in Other Income and Deductions. However,
in conjunction with the completion of three projects in 1994, CSWE's
revenues and expenses were classified as operating activities in Other
Diversified Revenues and Other Operating Expenses at the end of 1994.
Both of these components had negative earnings impacts classified in
Other Income and Deductions during the second quarter of 1994.
Interest on Short-Term Debt and Other. Interest on short-term
debt and other increased $11 million during the second quarter of 1995
as compared to the second quarter of 1994 due to higher levels of
short-term borrowings and higher short-term interest rates.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTH ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
decreased 3% to $141 million during the first six months of 1995 from
$146 million during the first six months of 1994. Earnings per share
decreased to $0.74 from $0.78, reflecting the impact of the Agreement
in Principle as well as the establishment of a $42 million reserve for
deferred merger and acquisition costs associated with CSW's
termination of the Merger on June 9, 1995. Also adversely impacting
earnings were increased interest costs and lower earnings from Mirror
CWIP liability amortization. Partially offsetting these factors were
increased non-fuel electric revenues and lower taxes.
Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased 10% to $1,579
million during the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $1,758 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1994. This decrease reflects a
$62 million write-off of fuel under-recovery and $50 million of
reserves for refunds recorded in the first quarter of 1995 as a result
of the Agreement in Principle. In addition, fuel revenues were lower
in the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of
1994 due to lower fuel costs as described below. The decrease in
operating revenues was offset in part by a 2.4% increase in total retail
Kwh sales in the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six
months of 1994. Residential, commercial and industrial sales increased
1.2%, 2.0% and 3.5%, respectively, during the six
CSW RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
months ended June 30, 1995. Increased usage, particularly among
industrial customers, and new residential and commercial customers
caused the increase. Gas revenues decreased 6% to $270 million during
first six months of 1995 from $288 million during the first six months
of 1994. This decrease was due to lower gas prices partially offset
by increased gas sales and transportation volumes.
Fuel and Purchased Power. Fuel and purchased power expense
decreased 15% to $492 million during the six months ended June 30,
1995 from $581 million during the six months ended June 30, 1994. The
composite unit cost of fuel decreased 16% to $1.63 per Mmbtu in the
first six months of 1995 from $1.93 per Mmbtu in the first six months
of 1994, reflecting lower gas, lignite and nuclear fuel prices and
increased use of less costly nuclear fuel. These lower costs reduced
total fuel expense by $83 million. Purchased power decreased $6
million or 21% in the first six months of 1995 as compared to the
first six months of 1994 due primarily to increased generation from
STP which replaced power that had been purchased during the first six
months of 1994 when STP was out of service.
Gas Purchased for Resale. Gas purchased for resale decreased 13%
to $148 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $170
million during the six months ended June 30, 1994 due to a decrease in
the average cost of gas which was partially offset by higher sales
volumes.
Gas Extraction and Marketing. Gas extraction and marketing
expenses increased $7 million to $52 million during the six months
ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the comparable period in 1994. The
increase was due to higher natural gas liquids sales volumes.
Other Operating. Other operating expense decreased 11% to $258
million during the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $289 million
during the six months ended June 30, 1994. This decrease was
primarily due to the recognition of a $21 million regulatory asset for
previously recorded restructuring charges. Also contributing to the
decrease was the reversal of $7 million in rate case costs pursuant to
the Agreement in Principle and reductions in employee related costs.
Charges for Terminated Merger. CSW recorded a $42 million charge
for the establishment of a reserve for deferred merger and acquisition
costs as a result of CSW's termination of the Merger on June 9, 1995.
See Part II - Other Information - Item 1. for information related to
the termination of the Merger and litigation arising in connection
therewith.
Maintenance. Maintenance decreased 9% to $78 million during the
six months ended June 30, 1995 from $86 million during the six months
ended June 30, 1994. This decrease was due to lower levels of
maintenance at the Electric Operating Companies, with the exception of
SWEPCO where maintenance increased slightly, and costs associated with
STP.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization
increased 6% from $176 million to $186 million due primarily to
increases in all classes of depreciable plant.
Taxes, Other than Federal Income. Taxes other than Federal
income decreased 14% to $86 million during the six months ended June
30, 1995 from $100 million during the six months ended June 30, 1994.
This decrease was due primarily to lower ad valorem tax expense as a
result of a true-up to prior year estimates.
CSW RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $84 million
during the first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months
of 1994. This decrease was due to a $34 million reduction of deferred
Federal income taxes resulting from the Agreement in Principle, a $23
million reduction due to prior year tax adjustments at the Electric
Operating Companies and lower pre-tax income. See NOTE 6. Federal
Income Taxes for additional information related to the tax
adjustments.
Other Income and Deductions. Mirror CWIP liability amortization
decreased 38% to $21 million during the six months ended June 30, 1995
from $34 million during the six months ended June 30, 1994. The
decrease reflects the original liability amortization schedule agreed
upon in the settlement of CPL rate cases in 1990 and 1991. Other
income increased $24 million to $34 million during the six months
ended June 30, 1995 from $10 million during the six months ended June
30, 1994. This increase was due primarily to increased interest
income of $12 million and recognition of $8 million of previously
deferred factoring income pursuant to the Agreement in Principle.
Other income also increased $3 million as a result of the sale by PSO
of non-utility fiber-optic telecommunication property during the first
quarter of 1995.
Interest on Short-Term Debt and Other. Interest on short-term
debt and other increased $21 million to $52 million in the first six
months of 1995 from $31 million during the first six months of 1994.
This increase reflects higher levels of short-term borrowing and
higher short-term interest rates.

CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock increased 23%
to $72.2 million during the second quarter of 1995 from $58.8 million in the
second quarter of 1994. The increase was due primarily to increased non-fuel
revenues, decreased plant maintenance and prior year tax adjustments, offset
partially by decreased Mirror CWIP liability amortization and higher
depreciation and interest expenses.
Electric Operating Revenues. Total revenues decreased 3% to $324.5
million during the second quarter of 1995 from $333.2 million during the
second quarter of 1994 due primarily to a $22.4 million decrease in fuel
revenue resulting from lower average unit fuel costs and purchased power as
discussed below. Partially offsetting the decrease in fuel revenue was a
$14.0 million increase in non-fuel revenue resulting from a 6% increase in
retail Kwh sales and a 60% increase in lower margin sales for resale. The
increase in retail sales was attributable to increased usage per customer in
1995. The increase in sales for resale was due primarily to a new contract
with an existing customer.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased approximately 14% to $76.0 million during
the second quarter of 1995 from $88.1 million during the second quarter of
1994. The decrease in fuel expense was due primarily to a 27% decrease in the
average unit cost of fuel from $1.88 per Mmbtu in the second quarter of 1994
to $1.38 per Mmbtu in the second quarter of 1995 resulting from the
expiration of higher priced gas contracts, the renegotiation of a coal
contract and increased usage of lower unit cost nuclear fuel. The decrease in
the cost of fuel was partially offset by an 18% increase in generation
attributable to the restart of STP Unit 2 in May 1994.
Purchased Power. Purchased power decreased $10.1 million during the
second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994 due to the
increased generation at STP Unit 2, which replaced power that had been
purchased during the second quarter of 1994 when STP Unit 2 was out of
service.
Other Operating. Other operating expense increased $2.5 million, or 5%,
during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994.
This increase was due primarily to higher administrative and general expenses,
partially offset by lower nuclear plant operating expenses than those incurred
during 1994 while STP was out of service.
Maintenance. Maintenance expense decreased $4.5 million, or 23%, during
the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994, due
primarily to decreased nuclear maintenance expense than that incurred during
1994 while STP was out of service and the postponement of previously scheduled
plant maintenance.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
$2.4 million, or 7%, during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the
second quarter of 1994 as a result of an increase in depreciable property and
the amortization of restructuring charges associated with the Agreement in
Principle. See NOTE 2. Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings for additional
information related to the Agreement in Principle.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $7.6 million in
the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of 1994 due
primarily to prior year tax adjustments. See NOTE 6. Federal Income Taxes
for additional information related to the tax adjustments.
CPL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
Other Income and Deductions. Mirror CWIP liability amortization
decreased $6.8 million compared to the second quarter of 1994. In accordance
with the original liability amortization schedule agreed upon in the
settlement of its rate cases in 1990 and 1991, CPL is amortizing its Mirror
CWIP liability in declining amounts over the years 1991 through 1995. Other
income was higher in the second quarter of 1995 when compared to the second
quarter of 1994 due primarily to the recognition of factoring income pursuant
to the Agreement in Principle and an increase in consolidated tax savings.
Interest Charges. Interest on short-term debt and other increased $3.6
million in the second quarter of 1995 when compared to the second quarter of
1994 as a result of higher levels of short-term debt outstanding at higher
interest rates and the recognition of interest expense associated with over-
recovered fuel.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock increased 5% to
$84.6 million during the first six months of 1995 from $80.4 million in the
first six months of 1994. Increased non-fuel revenue, decreased plant
maintenance and prior year tax adjustments, offset by decreased Mirror CWIP
liability amortization and higher depreciation expense, contributed to this
increase. Partially offsetting this increase were lower earnings resulting
from the effects of the Agreement in Principle. See NOTE 2. Litigation and
Regulatory Proceedings for additional information related to the Agreement in
Principle.
Electric Operating Revenues. Total revenues decreased $144.6 million, or
24%, during the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of
1994 due primarily to a $50.0 million reserve for refund and a $62.3 million
write-off of under-recovered fuel costs resulting from the Agreement in
Principle. Under the Agreement in Principle, CPL will provide customers a one-
time base rate refund of $50.0 million. In addition, CPL will not charge
customers for $62.3 million in replacement power costs associated with the
1993-1994 STP outage.
Also contributing to the decrease in revenue was a $53.4 million decrease
in fuel revenue resulting from lower average unit fuel costs and purchased
power as discussed below. Partially offsetting the decrease in fuel revenue
was a $21.1 million increase in non-fuel revenue resulting from a 5% increase
in retail Kwh sales and a 50% increase in lower margin sales for resale. The
increase in retail sales was attributable to increased usage per customer in
1995. The increase in sales for resale was due primarily to a new contract
with an existing customer.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased $30.0 million, or 18%, during the first six
months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994. The decrease in
fuel expense was due primarily to a 32% decrease in the average unit cost of
fuel from $2.03 per Mmbtu for the first six months of 1994 to $1.38 per Mmbtu
for the first six months of 1995 resulting from the expiration of higher
priced gas contracts, the renegotiation of a coal contract and increased usage
of lower unit cost nuclear fuel. The decrease in the cost of fuel was
partially offset by a 21% increase in generation attributable to the restart of
STP Units 1 and 2 in February and May 1994, respectively.
CPL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
Purchased Power. Purchased power decreased $22.8 million during the first
six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994 due to increased
generation at STP, which replaced power that had been purchased during the
first half of 1994 when STP was out of service.
Other Operating. Other operating expense decreased $28.7 million, or 26%,
during the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of
1994. The decrease was primarily due to the recognition of a $20.7 million
regulatory asset for previously recorded restructuring charges. Also
contributing to the decrease was the reversal of $6.5 million in rate case
costs pursuant to the Agreement in Principle.
Maintenance. Maintenance expense decreased $5.8 million, or 15%, during
the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994, due
primarily to decreased nuclear maintenance expense than that incurred during
1994 while STP was out of service and the postponement of previously scheduled
plant maintenance.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
$5.1 million, or 7%, during the first six months of 1995 when compared to
first six months of 1994 as a result of increased depreciable property and the
amortization of restructuring charges associated with the Agreement in
Principle.
Taxes, Other than Federal Income. Taxes other than Federal income
decreased $11.3 million during the first six months of 1995 as compared to the
first six months of 1994 due primarily to lower ad valorem tax expense
resulting from a true-up to prior year estimates.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $66.1 million in
the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of 1994 due
primarily to the accelerated flowback of $34.3 million of unprotected excess
deferred income taxes in accordance with the Agreement in Principle, prior
year tax adjustments and lower pre-tax income. See NOTE 6. Federal Income
Taxes for additional information related to the tax adjustments.
Other Income and Deductions. Mirror CWIP liability amortization decreased
$13.5 million during the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six
months of 1994. In accordance with the original liability amortization
schedule agreed upon in the settlement of its rate cases in 1990 and 1991, CPL
is amortizing its Mirror CWIP liability in declining amounts over the years
1991 through 1995. Other income was higher in the first six months of 1995
when compared to 1994 due primarily to the recognition of factoring income
pursuant to the Agreement in Principle and an increase in consolidated tax
savings.
Interest Charges. Interest on long-term debt increased $2.5 million
during the first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of
1994 as a result of increased long-term debt outstanding. Interest on short-
term debt and other increased $5.0 million in the second quarter of 1995 when
compared to the second quarter of 1994 as a result of higher levels of short-
term debt outstanding at higher interest rates and the recognition of interest
expense associated with over-recovered fuel.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF OKLAHOMA
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
increased 29% to $20.3 million during the second quarter of 1995
from $15.7 million during the second quarter of 1994. The
increase resulted primarily from prior year tax adjustments.
Electric Operating Revenues. Revenues decreased 7% to
$161.6 million during the second quarter of 1995 from $174.6
million during the second quarter of 1994. The decreased
revenues were due primarily to a $14.6 million reduction in fuel
revenues and a 3.8% decrease in retail Kwh sales which was
primarily the result of decreased weather-related demand. PSO
recovers its monthly fuel and purchased power expenses currently
in its revenues; therefore the decrease in these costs resulted
in lower revenues.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased 12% to $63.0 million during
the second quarter of 1995 as compared to $71.5 million during
the second quarter of 1994. This decrease was due primarily to a
reduction in the over-recovery of fuel costs, as well as a
reduction in average unit fuel costs from $2.05 per Mmbtu in 1994
to $1.86 per Mmbtu in 1995. The decrease in average unit fuel
costs was attributable to the settlement of coal transportation
litigation and a reduction in the spot market price of natural
gas. Such decreases were partially offset by an increase in
higher unit fuel cost natural gas-fired generation and the
reversal of prior year accruals for potential liabilities related
to coal transportation. See Part II - OTHER INFORMATION - Item
1. Legal Proceedings for additional information related to
pending coal transportation litigation.
Purchased Power. Purchased power decreased $4.1 million, or
42%, during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second
quarter of 1994 due primarily to decreased purchases of economy
energy.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $3.3
million, or 44%, during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to
the second quarter of 1994 primarily as a result of prior year
tax adjustments, offset in part by higher pre-tax income. See
NOTE 6. Federal Income Taxes for additional information related
to the tax adjustments.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
increased 39% to $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1995 from $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994.
The increase resulted primarily from the sale during the first
quarter of 1995 of non-utility fiber optic telecommunication
property, decreased operating and maintenance expenses and prior
year tax adjustments.
Electric Operating Revenues. Revenues decreased 7% to
$310.1 million during the first six months of 1995 from $332.1
million during the first six months of 1994 due primarily to a
$22.8 million reduction in fuel revenues and a 2.0% decrease in
retail Kwh sales (which was primarily the result of decreased
weather-related demand). PSO recovers its monthly fuel and
purchased power expenses currently in its revenues; therefore,
the decrease in these costs resulted in lower revenues.
PSO RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased approximately 6% to $133.5
million during the first six months of 1995 as compared to $141.5
million in the same period of 1994. This decrease was due
primarily to a reduction in the over-recovery of fuel costs, as
well as a reduction in average fuel costs from $2.07 per Mmbtu in
1994 to $1.79 per Mmbtu in 1995. The decrease in average fuel
costs was attributable to the settlement of certain coal
transportation litigation and a reduction in the price of natural
gas. Such decreases were partially offset by a 7% increase in
Kwh generation and the reversal of prior year accruals for
potential liabilities related to coal transportation. See Part
II - OTHER INFORMATION - Item 1. Legal Proceedings for additional
information related to pending coal transportation litigation.
Purchased Power. Purchased power decreased $12.4 million,
or 55%, during the first six months of 1995 as compared to the
same period of 1994 due primarily to decreased purchases of
economy energy.
Maintenance Expenses. Maintenance expenses decreased 14% to
$15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $17.4
million for the same period of 1994 primarily as a result of
decreased overhead line maintenance activities.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased $2.1 million, or 7%, during the
first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of
1994 due primarily to increases in depreciable plant.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased 41% to
$5.1 million during the first six months of 1995 from $8.7
million during the same period of 1994 primarily as a result of
prior year tax adjustments, offset in part by higher pre-tax
income. See NOTE 6. Federal Income Taxes for additional
information related to the tax adjustments.
Other Income and Deductions. Other income and deductions
increased $3.4 million primarily as a result of a $2.7 million
gain on the sale of non-utility fiber optic telecommunication
property during the first quarter of 1995.
Interest on Short-term Debt and Other. Short-term debt and
other increased $1.3 million due primarily to higher levels of
short-term debt outstanding at higher short-term interest rates.

SOUTHWESTERN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
increased 49% to $37.2 million during the second quarter of 1995
from $25.0 million during the second quarter of 1994. The
increase was due primarily to an increase in non-fuel revenue and
prior year tax adjustments.
Electric Operating Revenues. Electric operating revenues
increased $1.0 million to $213.0 million during the second
quarter of 1995 from $212.0 million during the second quarter of
1994 due primarily to a $5.6 million increase in non-fuel revenue
offset in part by a $4.6 million decrease in fuel revenue due to
lower average fuel costs. The increase in non-fuel revenues was
primarily the result of a 3.6% increase in retail Kwh sales.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased 10% to $78.7 million during the
second quarter of 1995 when compared to the second quarter of
1994 due primarily to a 7% decrease in generation and a decrease
in the average unit fuel cost from $1.74 per Mmbtu in 1994 to
$1.71 per Mmbtu in 1995. The decrease was due primarily to the
settlement of litigation with fuel suppliers and lower natural
gas prices. Because SWEPCO recovers its fuel expenses currently
in revenues, the decrease in these expenses resulted in lower
electric operating revenues during the second quarter of 1995.
Maintenance. Maintenance increased $0.5 million, or 5%,
during the second quarter of 1995 when compared to the first
quarter of 1994 due primarily to an increase in scheduled power
plant maintenance partially offset by decreased overhead line
maintenance. Overhead line maintenance expense was higher in the
second quarter of 1994 as a result of an ice storm that impacted
SWEPCO's distribution system during that period.
Taxes, Other than Federal Income. Taxes, other than Federal
income decreased $0.5 million, or 4%, during the second quarter
of 1995 when compared to the second quarter of 1994 due primarily
to a decrease in ad valorem taxes partially offset by an increase
in state franchise taxes.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased 25% to
$7.8 million during the second quarter of 1995 from $10.4 million
during the second quarter of 1994 due primarily to prior year tax
adjustments partially offset by higher pre-tax income. See NOTE
6. Federal Income Taxes for additional information related to
the tax adjustments.
Interest on Short-Term Debt and Other. Interest expense on
short-term debt and other increased $1.3 million, or 83%, during
the second quarter of 1995 when compared to the second quarter of
1994 due primarily to higher levels of short-term debt
outstanding at higher short-term interest rates.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
increased 34% to $52.0 million during the six months ended June
30, 1995 from $38.7 million during the six months ended June 30,
1994. This increase was due primarily to an increase in non-fuel
revenue and prior year tax adjustments.
SWEPCO RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994 (continued)
Electric Operating Revenues. Electric operating revenues
decreased $19.9 million, or 5%, during the first six months of
1995 when compared to the first six months of 1994 due primarily
to a $37.4 million decrease in fuel revenues that resulted from
lower average unit fuel cost. Partially offsetting the decrease
in fuel revenue was a $17.7 million increase in non-fuel revenue,
which reflected a 3.5% increase in retail Kwh sales.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased 19% to $141.8 million during
the first six months of 1995 when compared to the first six
months of 1994 due primarily to a decrease in the average unit
cost of fuel from $1.81 per Mmbtu in 1994 to $1.65 per Mmbtu in
1995 and a 9% decrease in generation. The decrease in the
average unit fuel cost was due primarily to the settlement of
litigation with fuel suppliers and lower natural gas prices.
Purchased Power. Purchased power expense increased $1.1
million, or 13%, during the first six months of 1995 as compared
to the first six months of 1994 primarily due to contractual
terms which call for increased operating reserves and on-peak
capacity negotiated as a part of the 1993 purchase of Bossier
Rural Electric Membership Corporation and a net increase in
economy purchases.
Maintenance. Maintenance increased $0.9 million, or 4%, in
the first six months of 1995 from $19.9 million during the first
six months of 1994 due primarily to increased scheduled power
plant maintenance partially offset by decreased overhead line
maintenance. Overhead line maintenance expense was higher in the
first six months of 1994 as a result of an ice storm that
impacted SWEPCO's distribution system during that period.
Depreciation. Depreciation increased $1.0 million, or 3%,
during the first six months of 1995 when compared to the first
six months of 1994 due to an increase in depreciable plant.
Taxes, Other than Federal Income. Taxes, other than Federal
income decreased $2.6 million, or 10%, during the first six
months of 1995 when compared to the first six months of 1994 due
primarily to a decrease in ad valorem taxes partially offset by
an increase in state franchise taxes.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $1.5
million, or 11%, to $12.7 million during the first six months of
1995 from $14.2 million during the first six months of 1994 due
primarily to prior year tax adjustments, which was partially
offset by higher pre-tax income. See NOTE 6. Federal Income
Taxes for additional information related to the tax adjustments.
Interest on Short-Term Debt and Other. Interest expense on
short-term debt and other increased $2.6 million, or 81%, during
the first six months of 1995 when compared to the first six
months of 1994 due primarily to higher levels of short-term debt
outstanding at higher short-term interest rates.

WEST TEXAS UTILITIES COMPANY
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE QUARTERS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994.
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
decreased 2% to $7.9 million during the second quarter of 1995
from $8.0 million in the second quarter of 1994. This decrease
was due primarily to higher interest expense on long-term debt.
Electric Operating Revenues. Electric operating revenues
increased slightly in the second quarter of 1995 as compared to
the second quarter of 1994. The increase was attributable
primarily to a $0.4 million increase in non-fuel revenues
resulting from increased on-system sales for resale to additional
customers, partially offset by the implementation of an interim
retail rate reduction of approximately $5.7 million on an annual
basis effective October 1, 1994. The increase in non-fuel
revenues was offset by a $0.3 million decrease in fuel revenues.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased $1.4 million, or 5%, during
the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second quarter of
1994 due primarily to an 8% decrease in generation. Partially
offsetting the effects of this decrease in generation was an
increase in average unit fuel costs to $1.78 per Mmbtu in 1995
from $1.75 per Mmbtu in 1994. The increase in unit fuel costs
resulted from an increase in the per unit cost of coal, which was
due to a higher level of minimum contract purchases during the
second quarter of 1995 and an increase in higher unit fuel cost
gas-fired generation. Such increases were partially offset by a
decrease in the price of natural gas.
Purchased Power. Purchased power increased $1.2 million
during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to the second
quarter of 1994, primarily as a result of additional economy
energy purchases made during the second quarter of 1995 and the
planned maintenance outage at Oklaunion that was longer in
duration in 1995 than in 1994.
Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased $0.4
million, or 13%, during the second quarter of 1995 as compared to
the second quarter of 1994 due primarily to prior year tax
adjustments recorded in the second quarter of 1995. See NOTE 6.
Federal Income Taxes for additional information related to the
tax adjustments.
Interest on Long-Term Debt. Interest charges on long-term
debt increased 12% to $5.3 million during the second quarter of
1995 from $4.7 million in the second quarter of 1994 due to
higher levels of long-term debt outstanding.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1994
Net Income for Common Stock. Net income for common stock
increased 5% to $12.0 million during the first six months of 1995
from $11.4 million in the first six months of 1994. The increase
was due primarily to decreased other operating and maintenance
expenses partially offset by increased interest on long-term
debt.
Electric Operating Revenues. Electric operating revenues
decreased $8.4 million, or 5%, in the first six months of 1995 as
compared to the first six months of 1994. This decrease was
attributable to an $8.6 million decrease in fuel revenues,
partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in non-fuel revenues
which resulted primarily from increased on-system sales for
resale to additional customers, partially offset

by the implementation of an interim retail rate reduction of
approximately $5.7 million on an annual basis effective October
1, 1994.
Fuel. Fuel expense decreased $9.8 million, or 14%, for the
first six months of 1995 as compared to the first six months of
1994 due primarily to a 6% decrease in generation and a 7%
decrease in average unit fuel costs from $2.05 per Mmbtu in 1994
to $1.90 per Mmbtu in 1995. The decrease in unit fuel costs was
due primarily to lower natural gas prices. The decreases were
partially offset by an increase in gas-fired generation during a
planned maintenance outage at Oklaunion that was longer in
duration in 1995 than in 1994.
Purchased Power. Purchased power increased $1.8 million
during the first six months of 1995 when compared to the
comparable period of 1994 primarily as a result of additional
economy energy purchases made during the first six months of 1995
and the planned maintenance outage at Oklaunion that was longer
in duration in 1995 than in 1994.
Other Operating. Other operating expenses decreased $1.8
million, or 5%, in the first six months of 1995 as compared to
the first six months of 1994 due primarily to decreased
production expenses related to the planned maintenance outage at
Oklaunion which was longer in duration in 1995 than in 1994,
decreased environmental expenditures and decreased employee
related costs.
Maintenance. Maintenance expenses decreased by $0.8
million, or 10%, during the first six months of 1995 as compared
to the first six months of 1994. This decrease was due in part
to decreased electric plant expenses that reflect plant overhauls
undertaken during the first six months of 1994 but not during the
comparable period in 1995. In addition, decreased distribution
expenses associated with tree trimming activities which have been
delayed until later in 1995 also contributed to the overall
decrease in maintenance expenses. These decreases were partially
offset by increased maintenance expense associated with the
planned outage at Oklaunion that was longer in duration in 1995
than in 1994.
Interest on Long-Term Debt. Interest charges on long-term
debt increased 11% to $10.1 million during the first six months
of 1995 from $9.1 million in the first six months of 1994 due to
higher levels of long-term debt outstanding.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Principles of Preparation
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
The condensed CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU financial
statements included herein have been prepared by each registrant
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
such rules and regulations, although each registrant believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed
financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes thereto included in the registrants'
combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994 and combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995.
The unaudited financial information furnished herewith
reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management
of such registrant, necessary for a fair statement of the results
of operations for the interim periods. Information for quarterly
periods is affected by seasonal variations in sales, rate
changes, timing of fuel expense recovery and other factors.
Certain financial statement items for prior years have been
reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.
2. Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
See the registrants' combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1994 and combined Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 for additional
discussion of litigation and regulatory proceedings. Reference
is also made to Part II-OTHER INFORMATION-Item 1. Legal
Proceedings for additional discussion of litigation matters.
CPL Rate Cases
CSW and CPL
The Texas Commission General Counsel, several Cities in
CPL's service territory and others initiated actions in late 1993
and early 1994 requesting a review by the Texas Commission of
CPL's base rates. The requests for a review of CPL's rates arose
out of the unscheduled 1993-1994 STP outage.
On April 5, 1995, CPL reached an Agreement in Principle with
other parties to pending regulatory proceedings involving base
rate, fuel and prudence issues relating to STP. On May 16, 1995,
CPL filed with the Texas Commission the CPL Settlement Agreement.
As discussed below, pursuant to the CPL Settlement Agreement,
base rate and fuel refunds and the reduction of CPL's fuel
factors are being implemented on an interim basis during the
summer of 1995. Hearings on the CPL Settlement Agreement were
held on July 19, 1995, and the final Texas Commission order
approving the CPL Settlement Agreement is expected in September
1995.
Under the CPL Settlement Agreement, CPL will provide
customers a one-time base rate refund of $50 million. In
addition, CPL will refund approximately $30 million in over-
recovered fuel cost through April 1995 and will not charge
customers for $62.25 million in replacement power costs and
related interest primarily associated with the 1993-1994 STP
outage. There will be no ongoing change in base rate levels.
However, CPL reduced its fuel factors by approximately $55
million on an annual basis beginning with the billing month of
July 1995, due to projections of lower fuel costs. CPL will
continue to seek resolution of its remaining non-nuclear fuel
costs through the current fuel reconciliation proceeding, Docket
No. 13650.
Neither CSW nor CPL experienced any significant earnings
impact during the second quarter of 1995 as a result of the
Agreement in Principle. Details of the items in the Agreement in
Principle which significantly impacted CSW's and CPL's earnings
during the first quarter of 1995, including several accounting
provisions, are set forth in the table below:
Earnings Impact of Significant Provisions of
Agreement in Principle
Pre-tax After-tax
(millions)
Base Rate Refund $ (50) $(33)
Fuel Write-off (62) (40)
Current Flowback of Excess
Deferred Federal Income Taxes 34 34
Capitalization of Previously
Expensed Restructuring and
Rate Case Costs 26 17
Recognition of Factoring
Income 12 8
The CPL Settlement Agreement additionally resolves (a) all
STP prudence issues through June 30, 1994, (b) potential claims
of excessive earnings for the five year period ending December
31, 1994 (a period in which CPL's rates were frozen), (c) certain
issues with respect to the treatment of Mirror CWIP and (d)
certain other pending issues. The CPL Settlement Agreement
resolves two cases now pending at the Texas Commission, the rate
inquiry in Docket No. 12820 and the prudence inquiry in Docket
No. 13126.
CPL has operated with its current rates in effect for more
than four years under a previous rate freeze agreement. That
rate freeze expired December 31, 1994. Under the Agreement in
Principle, CPL agreed not to file before September 28, 1995 for a
change in base rates. CPL anticipates that it will file a new
rate case with the Texas Commission after September 28, 1995
seeking to recover a retail revenue deficiency and to replace non-
cash earnings from Mirror CWIP with cash earnings. CPL is
amortizing its Mirror CWIP liability in declining amounts over
the years 1991 through 1995. Non-cash earnings of $68 million
were recognized in 1994, a decrease from the $75.7 million
recognized in 1993. The remaining liability to be amortized for
1995 is $41 million, which will fully amortize the Mirror CWIP
liability.
Civil Penalties
CSW and CPL
In May 1995, the NRC staff informed STP management that it
revoked a proposed $100,000 civil penalty and associated
violations filed against HLP in October 1994. As previously
reported, the proposed penalty was the result of what the NRC
believed was discrimination against a contractor employee at STP
who brought complaints of possible safety problems to the NRC's
attention. These actions resulted from the findings of an NRC
investigation of alleged violations of STP security and work
procedures in 1992. The incident cited by the NRC was the
subject of a hearing that concluded in July 1995 before a United
States Department of Labor judge with a ruling not expected
before 1996.
Power Purchases and Sales
CSW and PSO
MCPC
Reference is made to CSW's and PSO's combined Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 and combined
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
1995 for background on agreements PSO entered into in 1989 with
MCPC, a cogeneration development company located in northeastern
Oklahoma. The agreements provided, among other matters, that PSO
would deliver natural gas to MCPC for conversion to electrical
energy and that MCPC would supply energy to PSO. Subsequent to
1989, a series of disputes arose between PSO and MCPC relating to
the delivery of electric energy by MCPC to PSO and the charges
for the energy. The disputes involved both a lawsuit in the
District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma and proceedings before
the Oklahoma Commission.
On March 31, 1995, PSO, MCPC and the Oklahoma Commission
Staff signed a joint settlement resolving all issues pursuant to
the various proceedings before the Oklahoma Commission and the
District Court. The settlement, among other things, eliminated a
requirement that MCPC deliver an annual minimum of 394,200 Mwh of
Assured Delivery Energy and related provisions associated with
underdelivery charges. Most other provisions of the agreement
between PSO and MCPC were kept intact. The Oklahoma Commission
issued an order in May 1995 approving the settlement. The
settlement is on terms satisfactory to PSO and will not have a
material effect on CSW's or PSO's consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.
Rate Proceeding - Docket No. 13369
CSW and WTU
On August 25, 1994, WTU filed a petition with the Texas
Commission and cities with original jurisdiction to review WTU's
rates, proposed an interim across-the-board base retail rate
reduction of 3.25%, or approximately $5.7 million, effective
October 1, 1994, and sought until February 28, 1995, to develop
and file a RFP. WTU also requested the ability to "true-up,"
back to October 1, 1994, any difference in revenue requirements
upon final order of the Texas Commission and proposed that any
increases over the pre-October 1, 1994, base rates be implemented
prospectively on the effective date of the final order. WTU's
fuel reconciliation, Docket No. 13172, which was filed with the
Texas Commission on June 30, 1994, was consolidated with this
proceeding in September 1994.
On February 28, 1995, WTU filed with the Texas Commission
and cities with original jurisdiction an RFP which indicates a
revenue increase of approximately $14.5 million. However, WTU
simultaneously filed with the parties a settlement proposal to
reduce overall base rate revenue by 3.25%, effective October 1,
1994, which would have an annual impact in the rate year
beginning January 1, 1996 of approximately $5.9 million. The
settlement proposal reflects WTU's desire to maintain competitive
rates, recognizes the importance of competitive rates in the
changing electric service marketplace, and demonstrates WTU's
strong commitment to the long-term success of WTU and its
customers. Although settlement was not reached by the May 8
extended deadline, WTU continues to remain open to settlement.
On May 9, 1995, WTU filed an errata to its rate filing
package requesting a revised revenue increase of $12.6 million.
On June 8, 1995, WTU filed an additional errata but did not
revise the requested revenue increase at that time, citing no new
cost-of-service calculations.
Hearings are scheduled to begin August 14, 1995 at the Texas
Commission, with a final order anticipated in the fourth quarter
of 1995. On July 17, 1995 and July 24, 1995, the other parties
to the rate case and the Texas Commission staff filed testimony
that recommends WTU reduce rates by $14 million to $43 million
and make fuel refunds to customers of up to $8.7 million. The
proposed rate reductions assume the exclusion of Oklaunion-
related deferred accounting costs from WTU's rate base.
Management cannot predict the outcome of the rate proceeding or
the fuel reconciliation, but believes that the ultimate
resolution of these matters may, if not favorably resolved, have
a material adverse effect on WTU's results of operations and
financial condition. Management believes the ultimate resolution
of WTU's rate proceeding and the fuel reconciliation will not
have a material adverse effect on CSW's consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.
Rate Case Proceeding - Docket No. 7510
CSW and WTU
On February 15, 1995, the Court of Appeals affirmed all
aspects of the District Court judgment relating to the Texas
Commission's allowance of non-Oklaunion depreciation rates and
the surcharge of rate case expenses, reversed the District
Court's judgment relating to the exclusion of deferred Oklaunion
carrying costs in rate base, and remanded the case to the Texas
Commission to reexamine the issue of deferred costs in light of
the remand of Docket No. 7289, Application of WTU for Deferred
Accounting Treatment of Certain Oklaunion - Related Costs. WTU
filed a motion for rehearing at the Court of Appeals seeking
clarification of certain aspects of its order and arguing that
the Court of Appeals erred in remanding the case to the Texas
Commission for it to determine to what extent deferred costs are
necessary to preserve WTU's financial integrity because the issue
was not briefed or argued to the Court of Appeals and was,
therefore, waived. Other parties to the proceeding also filed
motions for rehearing. All motions were denied by the Court of
Appeals on April 26, 1995.
In May 1995, WTU filed its Application for Writ of Error to
the Supreme Court of Texas seeking discretionary review by that
Court to advance its argument that waiver has occurred. Other
parties to the appeal also sought review by the Supreme Court of
Texas. WTU's Application for Writ of Error may, if granted,
prevent further review of financial integrity issues with respect
to deferred accounting in any remand of Docket No. 7510. If a
broader remand is permitted and if the Texas Commission concludes
in Docket No. 7289 that deferred accounting was necessary to
preserve WTU's financial integrity during the deferral period,
the Texas Commission must decide to what extent the deferred
Oklaunion costs, including carrying costs, should be included in
rates in order to preserve WTU's financial integrity. See
Deferred Accounting below for a discussion of potential effects
of an adverse decision in the Docket No. 7289 remand.
For additional information regarding WTU's regulatory
matters, see CSW's and WTU's combined Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994, combined Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 and
combined Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 10, 1995.
Deferred Accounting
CSW and WTU
In September 1987, WTU received the 1987 Order from the
Texas Commission approving its request in Docket No. 7289,
Application of WTU for Deferred Accounting Treatment of Certain
Oklaunion - Related Costs. The 1987 Order authorized WTU to
defer operating expenses and carrying costs associated with
Oklaunion incurred subsequent to its December 1986 commercial
operation date until December 1987 when retail rates including
Oklaunion in WTU's rate base became effective. As a result, WTU
originally recorded approximately $32 million of Oklaunion
deferred costs, of which approximately $25 million were carrying
costs, to be recovered and amortized over the remaining life of
the plant.
Following a series of appeals challenging the 1987 Order,
the Supreme Court of Texas in October 1994 remanded WTU's
deferred accounting case to the Texas Commission to make a formal
finding whether the deferral of Oklaunion costs was necessary to
protect WTU's financial integrity during the deferral period.
The Texas Commission utilized a measurable harm standard in the
1987 Order approving the deferral of the Oklaunion costs.
On July 10, 1995, the ALJ in the WTU remand proceeding
before the Texas Commission, Docket No. 13949, issued a PFD and
Proposed Order. The PFD recommended that the 1987 Order be
reversed and WTU's request for deferred accounting treatment for
Oklaunion be denied.
In recommending denial of deferred accounting treatment for
WTU, the PFD asserts that deferred accounting was not necessary
to protect WTU's financial integrity. If the Texas Commission
adopts the ALJ's recommendation, WTU would be required to write
off the $26.5 million current balance of unamortized deferred
accounting costs related to Oklaunion.
Further, WTU has been recovering deferred accounting costs
since December 1987 through rates approved in Texas rate case
proceeding Docket No. 7510. As discussed above, the final Texas
Commission order in Docket No. 7510 has been the subject of
several legal proceedings and the issue of deferred accounting in
Docket No. 7510 remains on appeal. If the Texas Commission
adopts the PFD as proposed, WTU may be required at some point in
the remand of Docket No. 7510 to refund to customers deferred
accounting costs recovered in rates since December 1987. The refund
could potentially be up to $37 million including interest of
approximately $7 million as of June 30, 1995.
The Texas Commission is scheduled to consider the ALJ's
recommendation at its final order meeting to be held on August 2,
1995. The timing of a decision in WTU's currently pending rate
case, Docket No. 13369, could be impacted by the resolution of
WTU's deferred accounting case in Docket No. 13949.
While management can give no assurances as to the outcome of
the remanded proceeding, management believes that all of the
Oklaunion deferred costs were necessary to preserve WTU's
financial integrity during the deferral period and, accordingly,
that the 1987 Order should be upheld. Although WTU will continue
to pursue its position vigorously before the Texas Commission,
WTU can give no assurance as to what action the Texas Commission
will take or the results of any appeals that may arise therefrom.
If WTU's deferred accounting treatment is ultimately reversed and
not favorably resolved, WTU could experience a material adverse
effect on its results of operation and financial condition and
CSW could experience a material adverse effect on its
consolidated results of operation in the year recorded but not on
its continuing consolidated results of operation or financial
condition.
CSW and CPL
CPL was granted deferred accounting treatment for certain
STP Unit 1 and 2 costs by Texas Commission orders issued in
October 1990 and December 1990, respectively. In 1994, the
Supreme Court of Texas sustained deferred accounting as an
appropriate mechanism for the Texas Commission to use in
preserving the financial integrity of CPL. Because the Texas
Commission formally concluded that deferred accounting treatment
with respect to the STP costs was necessary to preserve the
financial integrity of CPL, the WTU deferred accounting
proceedings discussed above are not expected to affect CPL's
continued use of deferred accounting. CPL believes that the
language of the Supreme Court of Texas' opinion suggests that the
appropriateness of allowing deferred accounting may again be
reviewed under a financial integrity standard in the first case
in which the deferred STP costs will begin being recovered through
rates. If the courts decide that subsequent review under the
financial integrity standard is required, that review would be
conducted in a remand of the STP Unit 1 and 2 orders. Pending
the ultimate resolution of CPL's deferred accounting issues, CPL
is unable to predict how its deferred accounting orders will
ultimately be resolved by the Texas Commission.
If CPL's deferred accounting matters are not favorably
resolved, CSW and CPL could experience a material adverse effect
on their respective results of operations and financial
condition. While CPL's management is unable to predict the
ultimate outcome of these matters, management believes CPL will
receive approval of its deferred accounting orders or will be
successful in renegotiation of its rate orders, so that there
will be no material adverse effect on CSW's or CPL's results of
operation or financial condition.
For additional information on CPL's and WTU's deferred
accounting proceedings, see CPL's and WTU's combined Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 and
combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995.
3. Dividends
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
The subsidiary companies' mortgage indentures, as amended
and supplemented, contain certain restrictions on the use of
their retained earnings for cash dividends on their common stock.
These restrictions do not limit the ability of CSW to pay
dividends to its shareholders. At June 30, 1995, approximately
$1.5 billion of the subsidiary companies' retained earnings were
available for payment of cash dividends by CSW to its
shareholders. At June 30, 1995, the amount of retained earnings
available for payment of cash dividends to CSW by the Electric
Operating Companies was as follows:
Retained Earnings
Available for
Company Dividends
(millions)
CPL $752
PSO 142
SWEPCO 327
WTU 134
4. Earnings and Dividends Per Share of Common Stock
CSW
Earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing
net income for common stock by the average number of common
shares outstanding for the respective periods. Dividends per
common share reflect per share amounts paid during the periods.

CSWE Projects
CSW
Mulberry
The 117 Mw facility, which is 50% owned by Dev-I (a
wholly-owned subsidiary of CSWE), achieved commercial operation
in August 1994. CSWE has provided construction services to the
Mulberry cogeneration facility through Dev-I. CSWE's maximum
potential liability under the fixed price contract is $29 million
and is expected to decrease to zero over the next two years as
contractual standards are met. Additionally, Dev-I entered into
a fixed price contract of $14 million to construct the Mulberry
thermal host facility. At June 30, 1995, the estimated costs of
the host facility were approximately $48 million. The host
facility is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth
quarter of 1995. Negotiations are ongoing to determine how the
$34 million of costs exceeding the contract will be allocated
between Dev-I and its partner, each of whom has alleged that the
other party is responsible for the cost overruns. Dev-I has
sought to resolve the cost overruns with its business partner
through binding arbitration and has entered into a non-binding
memorandum of understanding intended to settle the Mulberry cost
overrun issues, as well as certain other outstanding issues
between the parties with respect to the Mulberry project and
other projects in which Dev-I and its business partner are
involved. The memorandum of understanding contemplates a final
settlement during the third quarter of 1995 that would, if
implemented, result in the disassociation of Dev-I and its
business partner. CSW has provided additional guarantees to the
project totaling approximately $42 million. Management cannot
predict whether the memorandum of understanding will lead to a
final settlement and, if not, whether the parties will submit to
binding arbitration or pursue litigation. While management
cannot predict the ultimate resolution of this matter, management
does not believe that it will have a material adverse impact on
CSW's consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Fort Lupton
CSWE has entered into an agreement on the Fort Lupton
project through a wholly-owned subsidiary, CSW Fort Lupton Inc.,
to purchase 50% of the 272 Mw project for $79.5 million of
equity. As of June 30, 1995, $43 million of equity had been
provided. CSWE has provided four letters of credit to the
project totaling $18.3 million. During March 1995, CSW Fort
Lupton Inc. closed permanent project financing on the Fort Lupton
facility which allowed CSW Fort Lupton Inc. to repay its $100
million construction borrowings to CSW.
Orange
The 103 Mw facility commenced commercial operation in June
1995. CSWE has committed to provide up to $130 million of
construction financing to the Orange cogeneration project in
which CSWE owns a 50% interest through Dev-I. Of this total, Dev-
I had provided $100 million at June 30, 1995. Dev-I expects to
obtain third party permanent financing for this project by year
end. In addition, CSW has provided five letters of credit to the
project totaling $5.3 million.
Other
As of June 30, 1995, CSWE had posted security deposits and
other security instruments of approximately $13 million on four
additional projects in various stages of development,
construction and operation.
Nuclear Insurance
CSW and CPL
As previously reported, in connection with the licensing and
operation of STP, the owners have purchased the maximum limits of
nuclear liability insurance, as required by law, and have
executed indemnification agreements with the NRC in accordance
with the financial protection requirements of the Price-Anderson
Act.
The Price-Anderson Act, a comprehensive statutory
arrangement providing limitations on nuclear liability and
governmental indemnities, is in effect until August 1, 2002. The
limit of liability under the Price-Anderson Act for licensees of
nuclear power plants is $8.92 billion per incident, effective as
of January 1995. The owners of STP are insured for their share
of this liability through a combination of private insurance
amounting to $200 million and a mandatory industry-wide program
for self-insurance totaling $8.72 billion. The maximum amount
that each licensee may be assessed under the industry-wide
program of self-insurance following a nuclear incident at an
insured facility is $75.5 million per reactor, which may be
adjusted for inflation, plus a five percent charge for legal
expenses, but not more than $10 million per reactor for each
nuclear incident in any one year. CPL and each of the other STP
owners are subject to such assessments, which CPL and other
owners have agreed will be allocated on the basis of their
respective ownership interests in STP. For purposes of these
assessments, STP has two licensed reactors.
The owners of STP currently maintain on-site decontamination
liability and property damage insurance in the amount of $2.75
billion provided by ANI and NEIL. Policies of insurance issued
by ANI and NEIL stipulate that policy proceeds must be used first
to pay decontamination and clean-up costs before being used to
cover direct losses to property. Under project agreements, CPL
and the other owners of STP will share the total cost of
decontamination liability and property insurance for STP,
including premiums and assessments, on a pro rata basis,
according to each owner's respective ownership interest in STP.
CPL purchases, for its own account, a NEIL I Business
Interruption and/or Extra Expense policy. This insurance will
reimburse CPL for extra expenses incurred, up to $1.65 million
per week, for replacement generation or purchased power as the
result of a covered accident that shuts down production at STP
for more than 21 weeks. The maximum amount recoverable for Unit
1 is $111.3 million and for Unit 2 is $111.8 million. CPL is
subject to an additional assessment up to $2.1 million for the
current policy year in the event that losses as a result of a
covered accident at a nuclear facility insured under the NEIL I
policy exceeds the accumulated funds available under the policy.
On August 28, 1994, CPL filed a claim under the NEIL I
policy relating to the 1993 - 1994 outage at STP Units 1 and 2.
NEIL is currently reviewing the claim. CPL management is unable
to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.
Henry W. Pirkey Power Plant
CSW and SWEPCO
In connection with the lignite mining contract for its Henry
W. Pirkey Power Plant, SWEPCO has agreed, under certain
conditions, to assume the obligations of the mining contractor.
As of June 30, 1995, the maximum SWEPCO would have to assume is
$73 million. The maximum amount may vary as the mining
contractor's need for funds fluctuates. The contractor's actual
obligation outstanding as of June 30, 1995 is approximately $60.7
million.
6. Federal Income Taxes
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
Due to the tax implications of the Agreement in Principle on
the financial statements of CSW and CPL recorded in the first quarter
of 1995 and the effects of the prior year tax adjustments on the
financial statements of CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU recorded during
the second quarter of 1995, the following reconciliation is presented.
CSW 3 Months 6 Months
Ended June 30, 1995 Ended June 30, 1995
($ in millions) ($ in millions)
Tax at statutory rates $42.7 35.0% $43.8 35.0%
Differences
Amortization of ITC (3.5) (2.9)% (7.0) (5.6)%

Other 2.0 1.0% 2.7 2.2%
$16.3 12.7% ($23.3) (18.6)%
Prior period adjustments of $22.2 million for tax balances
which are not required for future tax obligations are the primary
cause of the effective tax rate being lower than the statutory
rate for the three months ending June 30, 1995. In addition, prior
period adjustments for the six months ending June 30, 1995 reflect the
accelerated flowback of $34.3 million of unprotected excess
deferred income taxes in accordance with the Agreement in
Principle.

Financial Statements.
Capital Requirements, Liquidity and Financing
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
Construction and Capital Expenditures
Construction expenditures for the CSW System for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 were $206 million. These construction
expenditures were primarily for improvements to existing
production, transmission and distribution facilities, as well as
enhancements by Transok of existing gas gathering and
transmission systems. The improvements are required to meet the
needs of new customers and to satisfy the changing requirements
of existing customers. The CSW System anticipates that the
majority of all funds required for construction for the remainder
of the year will be provided from internal sources.
Short-Term Financing
The CSW System uses short-term debt to meet fluctuations in
working capital requirements and other interim capital needs.
The registrants, together with other members of the CSW System,
have established a money pool to coordinate short-term borrowings
and to make borrowings outside the money pool through CSW's
issuance of commercial paper. As of June 30, 1995, the CSW
System had entered into two revolving credit facilities totaling
$1.2 billion which replaced bank lines of credit used to back up
its commercial paper program.
Long-Term Financing
The CSW System is committed to maintaining financial
flexibility by maintaining a strong capital structure and
favorable securities ratings which help to assure future access
to capital markets when required. CSW, in order to strengthen
its capital structure and support growth from time to time, may
issue additional shares of its common stock. At June 30, 1995,
the capitalization ratios of each of the registrants were as
follows:
Company Common Preferred Long-Term
Equity Stock Debt
CSW 48% 5% 47%
CPL 46% 8% 46%
PSO 55% 2% 43%
SWEPCO 52% 4% 44%
WTU 52% 1% 47%
CSW and CPL
On July 19, 1995, CPL sold to underwriters $200 million of 6
5/8% FMB, Series KK, due July 1, 2005. The proceeds will be used
principally to redeem $139.2 million of 9 3/8% FMB, Series Z, due
December 1, 2019. The remainder of the proceeds will be used to
repay short-term debt, to provide working capital and for other
general corporate purposes.
On July 27, 1995, CPL sold to underwriters $100.6 million of
6.1% Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1995, due
July 1, 2028. The proceeds will be used to redeem two separate
outstanding PCRB issues, $68.9 million of 10 1/8%, Series 1984
PCRB, due October 15, 2014 and $31.8 million of 9 3/4%, Series U
FMB (secures Series 1985A collateralized PCRB), due July 1,
2015.

Litigation Relating to Termination of El Paso Merger
CSW
For information regarding the commitments and contingent
liabilities relating to the termination of the Merger, reference
is made to PART II-OTHER INFORMATION-Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
For background and earlier developments relating to Part II
information reference is made to the registrants' combined Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994 and
combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995.
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Litigation Relating to Termination of El Paso Merger
CSW
In May 1993, CSW entered into a Merger Agreement pursuant to
which El Paso would emerge from bankruptcy as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of CSW. El Paso is an electric utility company
headquartered in El Paso, Texas, which had filed a voluntary
petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code on January 8, 1992.
On June 9, 1995, CSW sent a letter to El Paso declining to
extend the termination date under the Merger Agreement as
requested by El Paso and terminating the Merger Agreement. CSW's
June 9, 1995 letter also informed El Paso that it was revoking
the Modified Third Amended Plan of Reorganization for the
proposed Merger with El Paso by a contemporaneous filing with the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas,
Austin Division, before which the El Paso bankruptcy
reorganization proceeding is pending.
On June 9, 1995, following CSW's notification that it was
terminating the Merger and withdrawing the Modified Third Amended
Plan of Reorganization, El Paso filed the El Paso Suit against
CSW in state district court in El Paso, Texas, claiming breach of
contract, breach of duty of good faith and fair dealing, breach
of fiduciary duty, business disparagement, tortious interference
with contract and fraud in the inducement. El Paso's suit seeks
a $25 million termination fee from CSW, CSW's share of certain
costs related to the Modified Third Amended Plan of
Reorganization, additional unspecified damages, punitive damages,
interest as permitted by law, reasonable attorneys fees and court
costs. On June 15, 1995, CSW filed suit against El Paso in the
United States Bankruptcy Court in Austin, Texas seeking a $25
million termination fee from El Paso due to El Paso's breaches of
the Merger Agreement, at least $3.6 million in rate case expenses
incurred by CSW on behalf of El Paso related to state regulatory
merger proceedings and a declaratory judgment that CSW properly
terminated the Merger Agreement. CSW also removed the El Paso
Suit from state district court to the United States Bankruptcy
Court in El Paso, Texas and requested that the action be
transferred to the United States Bankruptcy Court in Austin,
Texas, the bankruptcy court that has jurisdiction over El Paso's
bankruptcy case. The action has since been transferred to the
United States Bankruptcy Court in Austin, Texas. El Paso may
file a motion with the Austin bankruptcy court to remand its
lawsuit back to the state district court in El Paso or to change
venue from Austin to El Paso. CSW believes that it has
substantial defenses to the El Paso Suit and intends to defend
the El Paso Suit, and to pursue the CSW Suit, vigorously.
However, the outcome of the two lawsuits cannot presently be
predicted.
Background Information
For background information and earlier developments related
to the Merger, reference is made to CSW's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, Current Report on
Form 8-K dated May 23, 1995 and the documents referenced therein.
For further information related to the termination of the Merger,
the El Paso Suit and the CSW Suit, reference is made to CSW's
Current Reports on Form 8-K (i) dated June 9, 1995 and filed June
9, 1995 and (ii) dated June 9, 1995 and filed June 28, 1995, and
the documents referenced therein.
Cimmaron Litigation
CSW
On January 12, 1994, Cimmaron brought suit against CSW and
its wholly owned subsidiary, CSWE, in the 125th District Court of
Houston, Harris County, Texas. Cimmaron alleged that CSW and
CSWE breached commitments to participate with Cimmaron in a
failed BioTech Cogeneration project located in Colorado.
Cimmaron alleged breach of contract, fraud and negligent
misrepresentation claims in its petition and sought damages
totaling $250 million, punitive damages of an unspecified amount
and recovery of attorney's fees.
CSWE filed a counterclaim against Cimmaron and third-party
claims against the principals of Cimmaron on December 22, 1994,
alleging that they misrepresented and omitted material facts
about their experience and background and about the proposed
cogeneration project. CSWE sought damages of $500,000 (the
earnest money paid when the letter of intent was executed), the
costs incurred by CSWE in its due diligence investigation and
unspecified punitive damages. On January 10, 1995, Cimmaron
filed a first amended original petition to add claims of
negligence and gross negligence against the members of CSWE's
board of directors at the time of the failed project.
Effective July 27, 1995, the parties agreed upon a
settlement whereby they would dismiss their respective claims in
the BioTech Cogeneration litigation. The terms of the settlement
are on terms satisfactory to CSW and CSWE and will not have a
material adverse impact on CSW's consolidated results of
operations or financial condition.
Westinghouse Litigation
CSW and CPL
CPL and other owners of STP are plaintiffs in a lawsuit
filed in October 1990 in District Court in Matagorda County,
Texas against Westinghouse seeking damages and other relief. The
suit alleges that Westinghouse supplied STP with defective steam
generator tubes that are susceptible to stress corrosion
cracking. Westinghouse filed an answer to the suit in March 1992
denying the plaintiffs' allegations. A jury trial commenced on
July 5, 1995 in Bay City, Texas.
Inspections detected early indications of stress corrosion
cracking in steam generator tubes at STP. Management believes
the steam generator tubes will continue to deteriorate. The STP
owners have authorized the plant to solicit competitive bids for
replacement of the steam generators in 1999 for Unit 1 and 2000
for Unit 2.
A preliminary damages report prepared by experts for the STP
owners estimates that replacement of the STP Unit 1 and Unit 2
steam generators will cost approximately $285 million, of which
CPL's share would be approximately 25 percent. The estimated
replacement cost of $285 million does not include replacement
power costs, additional operating expenses and other costs that
are being sought from Westinghouse in the pending litigation.
Recoverability of these amounts and the steam generator
replacement costs from Westinghouse is uncertain. However,
management believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter
will not have a material adverse effect on CSW's or CPL's results
of operations or financial condition.
Burlington Northern Transportation Contracts
CSW and PSO
In June 1992, PSO filed suit in Federal District Court in
Tulsa, Oklahoma, against Burlington Northern seeking declaratory
relief under a long-term contract for the transportation of coal.
In July 1992, Burlington Northern asserted counterclaims against
PSO alleging that PSO breached the contract. The counterclaims
sought damages in an unspecified amount. In December 1993, PSO
amended its suit against Burlington Northern seeking damages and
declaratory relief under federal and state anti-trust laws. PSO
and Burlington Northern filed motions for summary judgment on
certain issues in the litigation. In March 1994, the court
issued an order granting PSO's motions for summary judgment and
denying Burlington Northern's motion. It was not necessary for
the court to decide the federal and state anti-trust claims
raised by PSO. Judgment was rendered in favor of PSO by the
United States District Court in May 1994. In June 1994,
Burlington Northern appealed this judgment to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. In April 1995, the Tenth
Circuit entered an order reversing the District Court's decision
in part and affirming the order in part. On May 2, 1995, PSO
filed a petition for rehearing by the Tenth Circuit. The
petition for rehearing was denied May 31, 1995 and the case has
been remanded to the District Court for further proceedings.
Management believes the ultimate resolution of this matter will
not have a material adverse effect on CSW's or PSO's consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.
PCB Cases
CSW and PSO
As previously reported, PSO has been named defendant in
complaints filed in state court in Oklahoma alleging, among other
things, that some of the plaintiffs were contaminated with PCBs
and other toxic by-products following transformer malfunctions.
As of July 28, 1995, the complaints totaled approximately $395
million, of which amount approximately one-third represents
punitive damages. Some claims have been dismissed, certain of
which resulted in settlements among the parties. The settlements
have not had a material adverse effect on CSW's or PSO's
consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Although management cannot predict the outcome of these
proceedings, management believes that PSO has defenses to these
claims and intends to pursue them vigorously. Moreover,
management has reason to believe that PSO's insurance may cover
some of these claims. Management also believes that the ultimate
resolution of these cases will not have a material adverse effect
on CSW's or PSO's consolidated results of operations or financial
condition.
Other Legal Claims and Proceedings
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
The CSW System is party to various other legal claims and
proceedings arising in the normal course of business. Management
does not expect disposition of these matters to have a material
adverse effect on the registrants' results of operations or
financial condition. See NOTE 2. Litigation and Regulatory
Proceedings for a discussion of each of the Electric Operating
Companies regulatory matters.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
CSW, CPL, PSO, SWEPCO and WTU
The information required for Item 4 was previously reported
in Item 4 of the registrants' combined Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 1995.
Item 5. Other Information.
Environmental Matters
Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976
CSW and CPL
Under the TSCA, the storage, use and disposal, among other
things, of PCBs are regulated. Violations of the TSCA may lead to
fines and penalties. CPL was inspected by the EPA in 1992 and
found to have TSCA record-keeping and other violations for PCBs.
CPL negotiated a settlement with the EPA and has accepted a
penalty of approximately $76,000. CPL is awaiting the consent
agreement from the EPA.
Sol Lynn Superfund Site
CSW and CPL
The Sol Lynn salvage yard was declared a Superfund site by
the EPA after it was found to contain a number of contaminants
including PCBs. Gulf States Utilities Company remediated the site
for approximately $2 million and sought to recover a portion of
the remediation costs from alleged PRPs, including CPL. In March
1995, CPL and Gulf States Utilities Company reached an agreement
pursuant to which CPL agreed to pay $50,000 as its share of
remediation costs, pending court approval.
PCB Storage Facilities
CSW and PSO
PSO investigated and identified PCB contamination at one of
its PCB storage facilities in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. PSO made
proper notification to the EPA of the contamination that was
caused by spills prior to the adoption of PCB spill regulations.
PSO negotiated a remediation plan with the EPA. Remediation began
in November 1994, and the remediation costs were $235,000. As
part of the remediation plan, the EPA requested PSO to sample the
land surrounding the PCB storage building site. The land will
include an active PSO substation and an industrial area that is
privately owned. The extent of any PCB contamination has not been
determined on either site.
Suspected MGP Sites in Texarkana, Texas and Arkansas and
Shreveport, Louisiana
CSW and SWEPCO
SWEPCO owns a suspected former MGP site in Texarkana, Texas
and Arkansas. The EPA ordered an initial investigation of this
site, as well as a site in Shreveport, Louisiana, which is no
longer owned by SWEPCO. The contractor who performed the
investigations of these two sites recommended to the EPA that no
further action be taken at this time. The contractor also
discovered that an underground storage tank was in place at the
Texarkana site and that it was leaking. SWEPCO removed the tank
in early 1995 and has made a request for closure from the Arkansas
Department of Pollution Control and Ecology based on soil and
ground water quality results.
Childress Substation Site
CSW and WTU
In response to its discovery of a prior release of
transformer oil from a 138 Kv (kilovolt) autotransformer at the
Childress substation, WTU contracted with a consultant in February
1995 to conduct a subsurface soil investigation to determine the
extent of soil contamination. The investigation showed that
hydrocarbon contamination was present in concentrations above the
TNRCC accepted levels. On March 21, 1995, the contractor began
removing contaminated materials for disposal. Post-excavation
sample analyses indicated that the site was cleaned to TNRCC
approved levels and the excavation was backfilled and restored to
its original condition. The project was completed on April 28,
1995 at a cost of approximately $216,000. The final closure
report was submitted to the TNRCC in June 1995.

SEVENTH:
(1) At each annual meeting of stockholders,
directors of the Corporation shall be elected to hold
office until the expiration of the term for which they
are elected, and until their successors have been duly
elected and qualified; except that if any such election
shall not be so held, such election shall take place at
a stockholders' meeting called and held in accordance
with the Delaware General Corporation Law. The
directors of the Corporation shall be divided into
three classes as nearly equal in size as is
practicable, hereby designated Class I, Class II and
Class III. The term of office of the initial Class I
directors shall expire at the next succeeding annual
meeting of stockholders, the term of office of the
initial Class II directors shall expire at the second
succeeding annual meeting of stockholders and the term
of office of the initial Class III directors shall
expire at the third succeeding annual meeting of
stockholders. For the purposes hereof, the initial
Class I, Class II and Class III directors shall be
those directors elected at the April 19, 1990 annual
meeting and designated as members of such Class. At
each annual meeting after the April 19, 1990 annual
meeting, directors to replace those of a Class whose
terms expire at such annual meeting shall be elected to
hold office until the third succeeding annual meeting
and until their respective successors shall have been
duly elected and shall qualify. If the number of
directors is hereafter changed, any newly created
- 9 -
directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so
apportioned among the classes as to make all classes as
nearly equal in number as is practicable.
(2) Any director may be removed from office by the
stockholders of the Corporation only for cause and only
by the affirmative vote of the holders of eighty
percent (80%) of the voting power of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock.
(3) The number of directors constituting the
entire Board of Directors shall be not less than nine
(9) nor more than fifteen (15) as may be fixed from
time to time by resolution adopted by a majority of the
entire Board of Directors; provided, however, that no
decrease in the number of directors constituting the
entire Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any
incumbent director. A majority of the entire Board of
Directors may adopt a resolution at any time to
increase the number of directors to not more than
fifteen (15) and, by vote of a majority of the Board of
Directors, elect a new director or directors to fill
any such newly created directorship. Any such new
director shall hold office until the next annual
meeting of stockholders and until his successor shall
have been duly elected and qualified.
(4) Vacancies occurring on the Board of Directors
for any reason may be filled by vote of a majority of
the remaining members of the Board of Directors,
although less than a quorum, at any meeting of the
Board of Directors. A
- 10 -
person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a
vacancy shall hold office until the next succeeding
annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and
until his or her successor shall have been duly elected
and qualified.
EIGHT: The following additional provisions are
inserted for the management of the business and for the
conduct of the affairs of this Corporation and for the
creation, definition, limitation and regulation of the
powers of the Corporation, the directors and the
stockholders:
(1) The Board of Directors shall have power from
time to time to fix and determine and to vary the
amount to be reserved as working capital of the
Corporation and, before the payment of any dividends or
making any distribution of profits, it may set aside
out of the net profits of the Corporation such sum or
sums as it may from time to time in its absolute
discretion think proper whether as a reserve fund to
meet contingencies or for the equalizing of dividends
or for repairing or maintaining any property of the
Corporation or for such corporate purposes as the Board
shall think conducive to the interests of the
Corporation, subject only to such limitations as the
Bylaws of the Corporation may from time to time impose.
(2) The Board of Directors shall also have power
without the assent or vote of the stockholders to make,
alter, amend and repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation;
to fix the times for the declaration and payment of
dividends; to authorize and cause to be executed and
delivered
- 11 -
mortgages on and instruments of pledge, or any other
instruments creating liens, on the real and personal
property of the Corporation; and to make and determine
the use and disposition of any surplus or net profits
over and above the capital of the Corporation.
(3) Subject to direction by resolution of a
majority of the stockholders, the Board of Directors
shall have power from time to time to determine whether
and to what extent and at what times and places and
under what conditions and regulations the accounts and
books of the Corporation (other than the stock ledger)
or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of
stockholders; and no stockholder shall have any right
to inspect any account or book or document of the
Corporation except as conferred by statute or
authorized by the directors or by a resolution of the
stockholders.
(4) The Board of Directors shall have the power
to appoint an Executive Committee from among their
number, which Committee, to the extent and in the
manner provided in the Bylaws of the Corporation, shall
have and may exercise all of the powers of the Board of
Directors, so far as may be permitted by law, in the
management of the business and affairs of the
Corporation whenever the Board of Directors is not in
session. The fact that the Executive Committee has
acted shall be conclusive evidence that the Board of
Directors was not in session at the time of such
action.
(5) The Corporation shall be entitled to treat
the person in whose name any share, right or option is
- 12 -
registered and the bearer of any scrip or right payable
to bearer, as the owner thereof for all purposes, and
shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other
claim to or interest in such share, right, option or
scrip on the part of any other person, whether or not
the Corporation shall have notice thereof, save as may
be expressly provided by the laws of the State of
Delaware.
NINTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is
proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any
class of them and/or between this Corporation and its
stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the
application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any
creditor or stockholder thereof, or on the application of
any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation
under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the
Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in
dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for
this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of
Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the
creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders
or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case
may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said Court
directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths
in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of
the stockholders or class of stockholders of this
Corporation, as the case may be, agrees to any compromise or
arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as
a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said
compromise or arrangement and
- 13 -
the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the Court of
which the said application has been made, be binding on all
the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the
stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation,
as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.
TENTH: Authorized shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation shall be issued in exchange for any remaining
outstanding shares of Common Stock of Central and South West
Utilities on the following basis:
(1) There shall be issued to each holder of such
shares of Common Stock of Central and South West
Utilities a number of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation computed by (i) multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock of Central and South West
Utilities held by such holder by .8095, (ii) rounding
the resulting product to the next lower number in the
event such product is not a whole number, and (iii)
multiplying such product as so rounded by four.
(2) There shall be paid to each holder of such
shares of Common Stock of Central and South West
Utilities, in any case in which the product of the
number of shares of Common Stock of Central and South
West Utilities held by him multiplied by .8095 is not a
whole number, cash equal to $12.00 multiplied by the
fraction by which such product exceeds the next lower
whole number, in lieu of shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation.
- 14 -
(3) Such shares of Common Stock of the
Corporation shall be issued, and such cash paid, upon
the surrender for cancellation, to the Corporation, of
the certificates representing such shares of Common
Stock of Central and South West Utilities, duly
endorsed for transfer if required, and in satisfaction
of all dividend and other rights in respect of such
shares.
ELEVENTH: To the full extent permitted by the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any
other applicable laws as presently or hereafter in effect,
no director of the Corporation shall be personally liable to
the Corporation or its stockholders for or with respect to
any acts or omissions in the performance of his or her
duties as a director of the Corporation. No amendment to or
repeal of this Article ELEVENTH shall apply to or have any
effect on the liability or alleged liability of any director
of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or
omissions of such director occurring prior to such
amendment.

Combination" shall mean any transaction that is referred to
in any one or more of clauses (1) through (6) of Section A
of this Article TWELFTH.

other than cash to be received per share by
holders of the Common Stock in such Business
Combination shall be at least equal to the highest

the Common Stock shall be in cash or in the same
form as previously has been paid by or on behalf of
the Interested Stockholder in connection with its
direct or indirect acquisition of beneficial
ownership of shares of such Common Stock. If the

transaction that has the effect of reducing the
number of outstanding shares of Common Stock,
unless the failure so to increase such annual rate
is approved by a majority of the Continuing
Directors; and (iii) such Interested Stockholders

additional shares of Common Stock except as part

increase in the Interested Stockholder's
percentage of beneficial ownership of Common
Stock.
(d) After the Determination Date, such Interested
Stockholder shall not have received the benefit,

from any fiduciary obligation imposed by law.
G. No Effect on Fiduciary Obligation of Directors.
The fact that any Business Combination complies with the

the Corporation, nor shall such compliance limit, prohibit
or otherwise restrict in any manner the Board of Directors,
