ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (Company), a subsidiary of Cinergy Corp.,
expects a reduction in net income of $16 million (after tax) in July related to
the extreme weather conditions late in the month. While increased sales from
retail operations contributed $11 million after tax, cash losses reflecting
costs to serve wholesale power contracts and anticipated liquidated damage
claims totaled $27 million after tax.
The extreme weather conditions required the purchase of power needed to
supplement generation to meet record wholesale and retail customer demand. The
anticipated liquidated damages are related to supply curtailments to eight power
marketers for four-to six hours July 30.
