	INFORMATION CONCERNING MINE OPERATIONS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
	FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2000



MINE CLOSURE

The Company announced plans to discontinue mining operations
effective April 30, 2000.  Subsequently the Company revised the mine
closing date to December 31, 2000.  A provision of $48.4 million for
mine closure costs, postretirement benefits other than pensions and
workman's compensation costs was recorded in July 1999 and billed to
Ohio Power Company under the coal supply agreement.

BLACK LUNG

	In April 2000, the Company recorded a $4.5 million provision for
black lung expense.  The amount provided was based on an actuarial
valuation prepared as of January 1, 2000 which projected the amount of
current black lung liabilities in excess of available trust funds.

MONEY POOL

	On June 15, 2000, the Company became a participant in the American
Electric Power (AEP) System Money Pool (Money Pool). The Money Pool is
a mechanism structured to meet the short-term cash requirements of the
participants with AEP Company, Inc. acting as the primary borrower on
behalf of the Money Pool. The Company's affiliates that are U.S.
domestic electric utility operating companies and coal-mining companies
are the primary participants in the Money Pool.

	The operation of the Money Pool is designed to match on a daily
basis the available cash and borrowing requirements of the participants.
Participants with excess cash loan funds to the Money Pool reducing the
amount of external funds AEP Company, Inc. needs to borrow to meet the
short-term cash requirements of other participants with advances from
the Money Pool.  AEP Company, Inc. borrows the funds needed on a daily
basis to meet the net cash requirements of the Money Pool participants.
A weighted average daily interest rate which is calculated based on the
outstanding short-term debt borrowings made by AEP Company, Inc. is
applied to each Money Pool participant's daily outstanding investment or
debt position to determine interest income or interest expense. Interest
income is included in nonoperating income, and interest expense is
included in interest charges.  At June 30, 2000 the Company was a net
investor in the Money Pool and reports its investment in the Money Pool
as Advances to Affiliates on the Balance Sheet.
