Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI

9.
Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations, conducted primarily through its ECBU, markets and trades electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products. The power marketing and trading operation has both physical and trading activities. Generation not required to meet native load requirements is available to be sold to third parties, either under long-term contracts, such as full requirements transactions or firm forward sales contracts, or in short-term and spot market transactions. When transactions are entered into, each transaction is designated as either a physical or trading transaction. In order for a transaction to be designated as physical, there must be intent and ability to physically deliver the power from company-owned generation. Physical transactions are accounted for on a settlement basis. All other transactions are considered trading transactions and are accounted for using the mark-to-market method of accounting. Under the mark-to-market method of accounting, these trading transactions are reflected at fair value as "Energy risk management assets" and "Energy risk management liabilities." Changes in fair value, resulting in unrealized gains and losses, are reflected in "Fuel and purchased and exchanged power." Revenues and costs for all transactions are recorded gross in the Consolidated Statements of Income as contracts are settled. Revenues are recognized in "Operating Revenues—Electric" and costs are recorded in "Fuel and purchased and exchanged power."

Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI

10.
Cinergy and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to foreign currency exchange rates, lower funding costs, and manage exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. Instruments used as hedges must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract and must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. Accordingly, changes in market values of designated hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values of the underlying hedged items at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.

Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

11.
As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, prior to the 1950s, gas was produced at MGP sites through a process that involved the heating of coal and/or oil. The gas produced from this process was sold for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.

12.
During the second quarter of 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133. The new standard requires companies to record derivative instruments, as defined in Statement 133, as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying fair value hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. The standard, as subsequently amended by Statement 137, is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Cinergy expects to reflect the adoption of this standard in financial statements issued beginning in the first quarter of 2001.

Cinergy

13.
Options to purchase shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of EPS-assuming dilution when the exercise prices of these options are greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period. Options to purchase approximately 1,734,000 and 923,000 shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS-assuming dilution for this reason for the quarters ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively. Options to purchase approximately 1,727,000 and 767,000 shares were excluded from the calculation of EPS-assuming dilution for this reason for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, respectively.

Cinergy

14.
On July 15, 1999, Cinergy and GPU completed a transaction whereby GPU acquired Cinergy's 50% ownership interest in Avon Energy, the parent company of Midlands. In exchange for its interest in Avon Energy, Cinergy received 452.5 million pounds sterling (approximately $700 million). As a result of the transaction, Cinergy realized a gain of approximately $0.50 per share in the third quarter. After deducting financing, transaction, and currency costs, the net contribution to earnings was approximately $0.43 per share.

15.
As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, PSI and Dynegy (formerly Destec) entered into a 25-year contractual agreement for the provision of coal gasification services in November 1995. The agreement requires PSI to pay Dynegy a base monthly fee including certain monthly operating expenses. PSI received authorization in the September 1996 Order for the inclusion of these costs in retail rates. In addition, PSI received authorization to defer, for subsequent recovery in retail rates, the base monthly fees and expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the September 1996 Order.
16.
As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, the collective-bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 1393, covering approximately 1,470 employees, expired on May 1, 1999. A new labor agreement was ratified April 22, 1999, and is effective from May 1, 1999, through April 30, 2002.

Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

17.
As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, during 1998, Cinergy and its subsidiaries adopted the provisions of Statement 131. During the first quarter of 1999, Cinergy reorganized its reportable segments. The business unit structure effective with that reorganization is described below.

    Financial results by business unit for the quarters ended September 30, 1999, and 1998, are as follows:

Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI

18.
On July 13, 1999, CG&E received a request from the EPA (Region 5) under section 114 of the CAA seeking documents and information regarding capital and maintenance expenditures at Beckjord. On July 14, 1999, PSI received the same request regarding Cayuga. On October 12, 1999, PSI received additional similar requests regarding Gallagher and Wabash River. These activities are part of an industry-wide investigation assessing compliance with the NSR and the NSPS (emissions standards that apply to new and modified units) of the CAA at electric generating units.

Cinergy and CG&E

19.
As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, comprehensive electric restructuring legislation was reintroduced in 1999 in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly. One of these bills—Senate Bill 3—subsequently received approval by both houses. On July 6, 1999, Ohio Governor Robert Taft signed the restructuring legislation into law. The new law became effective in October 1999.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

    CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION  Matters discussed in this section reflect and elucidate Cinergy's corporate vision of the future and, as a part of that, outline goals and aspirations, as well as specific projections. These goals and projections are considered forward-looking statements and are based on management's beliefs, as well as certain assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions and other factors that are referred to specifically in connection with these statements, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in any forward-looking statements include, among others: factors generally affecting operations, such as unusual weather conditions, unscheduled generation outages; unusual maintenance or repairs, unanticipated changes in fuel costs, environmental incidents, or system constraints; legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding deregulation and restructuring of the industry; increased competition in the electric and gas utility environment; challenges related to Year 2000 readiness; regulatory factors; changes in accounting principles or policies; adverse political, legal, or economic conditions; changing market conditions; success of efforts to invest in and develop new opportunities in non-traditional business; availability or cost of capital; employee workforce factors; legal and regulatory delays and other obstacles associated with mergers, acquisitions, and investments in joint ventures; costs and effects of legal and administrative proceedings; changes in legislative requirements; and other risks. The SEC's rules do not require forward-looking statements to be revised or updated, and Cinergy does not intend to do so.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Recent Developments

Cinergy

    Acquisitions  During the first nine months of 1999, Cinergy invested an additional $235 million in domestic and international unconsolidated subsidiaries.

On September 30, 1999, Cinergy (through a CC&T subsidiary) formed a partnership with Duke Energy North America LLC. This partnership will jointly own three wholesale generating facilities with total capacity of approximately 1,400 megawatts. These facilities will be natural gas-fired peaking stations with commercial operation anticipated for the summer of 2000.

    Dispositions  See Note 14 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information."

    Power Supply Business  The Company continues to consider a number of strategies to address the electricity market volatility during the industry restructuring. In November 1999, the Company's board of directors unanimously determined to remain in the supply segment of the electric industry as it moves to a competitive environment.

PSI

    Securities Ratings Changes  In October, Fitch IBCA changed their ratings for the following PSI securities: Secured Debt to A- from A, Senior Unsecured Debt to BBB+ from A-, Junior Unsecured Debt to BBB from BBB+, and Preferred Stock to BBB from BBB+.

Competitive Pressures

Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

    Federal  The Clinton Administration has introduced a bill—the Comprehensive Electricity Competition Act—that would grant all retail customers of electricity the right to choose their electricity supplier beginning January 1, 2003. The legislation would allow a state regulatory authority to opt out of the retail competition system if the authority conducted a public proceeding and determined that the electric customers of that state would be better served by a monopoly system or an alternative retail competition plan. A "compromise bipartisan" deregulation bill introduced on May 26, 1999 by Representatives Largent (R-Ok.) and Markey (D-Mass.) included similar mandate and opt out provisions with an effective date of January 1, 2002.

    Both the House and the Senate continue to hold hearings on electric restructuring to see if consensus legislation can be developed, but it is uncertain whether federal retail customer choice legislation will be passed by this Congress.

    Ohio  See Note 19 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information."

    Indiana  As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, electric restructuring legislation supported by a group of large industrial customers was introduced into the Indiana legislature in January 1999. This legislation did not pass in the 1999 session of the Indiana General Assembly, which ended in April 1999. Cinergy anticipates that electric restructuring legislation will again be introduced in the "short session" in Indiana in 2000.

    Kentucky  Throughout 1999, a task force convened by the Kentucky legislature has been meeting to study the issue of electric restructuring. The legislature next meets in January 2000, and it is not certain whether an electric restructuring bill will be introduced at that time.

Regulatory Matters

Cinergy and PSI

    Coal Gasification Contract Buyout Costs  See Note 15 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information."

Cinergy and CG&E

    PUCO Order—CG&E's Gas Rate Order  As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in April 1997, CG&E filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Ohio challenging the disallowance of information systems costs and imputation of certain revenues by the PUCO when it approved an overall average increase in CG&E's gas revenues in December 1996. On July 7, 1999, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on the appeal supporting the PUCO's decision to exclude a portion of the development costs of the information systems from the rate based calculation. However, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of CG&E on the imputed revenue appeal, deciding the PUCO acted unlawfully in imputing certain revenues. The ruling resulted in a revision in rates generating a $3 million increase in annual revenues for CG&E, which represents less than a one percentage increase in retail rates. The recovery of these costs began in the third quarter of 1999.

Other Matters

    Midwest ISO  In July of 1999, the Midwest ISO named Matthew Cordaro as the first President and Chief Executive Officer of the organization. In addition to Dr. Cordaro, the organization recently added Jim Torgeson as its Chief Financial Officer. The Midwest ISO is expected to begin operations in June of 2001 and recently filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission an appendix which once approved, would allow independent transmission companies to exist under the Midwest ISO.

    Two additional companies have agreed to join the Midwest ISO as transmission owners—Northern States Power and Alliant Energy. The addition of these two companies expands the total of transmission owners participating in the Midwest ISO to fourteen. This expansion increases the coverage of the Midwest ISO to include over 69,000 miles of transmission lines extending into portions of 16 states, and includes approximately $8.5 billion in transmission investment forming the largest ISO in the country.

    Repeal of the PUHCA  As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in February 1999, S. 313, a bill to repeal significant portions of PUHCA, was introduced in the Senate. The bill is currently awaiting action by the full Senate. In June 1999, H.R. 2363, a bill to repeal PUHCA, was introduced in the House as a companion bill to S. 313. H.R. 2363 is currently awaiting action by the House Commerce Committee.

    While it is uncertain whether these bills will be enacted into law, Cinergy continues to support the repeal of this act either as part of comprehensive reform of the electric industry or as separate legislation.

Environmental Issues

Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI

    Ozone Transport Rulemaking  As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in October 1998, the EPA finalized its ozone transport rule, also known as the NOX SIP Call. It applies to 22 states in the eastern half of the U.S., including the three states in which Cinergy's electric utilities operate, and also proposes a model nitrogen oxide (NOX) emission allowance trading program. The trading program would allow Cinergy to buy NOX emission allowances from, or sell NOX emission allowances to, other companies as necessary. The rule recommends that states reduce NOX emissions from primarily industrial and utility sources to a certain level by May 2003. The EPA gave the affected states until September 30, 1999, to incorporate NOX reductions with a trading program into their SIPs (defined as a state's plan for implementing emissions reductions to address air quality concerns). If the states fail to revise their SIPs accordingly, the EPA has proposed to implement a federal plan to accomplish NOX reductions by May 2003. The EPA must approve all SIPs.

    Ohio, Indiana, a number of other states, and various industry groups (some of which Cinergy is a member) filed legal challenges to the NOX SIP Call in late 1998. Ohio and Indiana have also preliminarily indicated that they will seek fewer NOX reductions from the utility sector than the EPA has recommended. On May 25, 1999, the Court of Appeals granted the petitioners' request for a deferral of the rule and indefinitely suspended the September 30 filing deadline, pending further review by the Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals heard arguments on the case on November 9, 1999 and is expected to make a decision in early 2000.

    In February 1998, the northeast states filed petitions seeking the EPA's assistance in reducing ozone in the eastern U.S. under Section 126 of the CAA. Section 126 petitions allow a state to claim that another state is contributing to its air quality problem and request that the EPA require that upwind state to reduce its emissions. On April 30, 1999, the EPA found that the Midwest stationary sources (including all of Cinergy's facilities) named in the petitions are significantly contributing to ozone problems in the northeast for both the one- and eight-hour ozone standards (health standards for ozone levels for a one- and eight-hour time period). The EPA has stated that the Section 126 petitions and the NOX SIP Call requirements should be coordinated. As with the NOX SIP Call, various industry groups filed legal challenges to the Section 126 petition findings.

    Based on a court decision regarding ambient (outside) air standards (discussed below) and the May 25 court decision (previously discussed), in mid-June the EPA (1) requested and was granted a deferral of the Section 126 rules, and (2) modified and re-proposed the Section 126 petitions rulemaking to only address the one-hour ozone standard. The petitions are limited to 12 states instead of the original 22 states. Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio must still meet the same NOX emissions requirements. The EPA has scheduled a new rulemaking to be complete by November 1999.

    Ambient Air Standards and Regional Haze  As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, during 1997, the EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and fine particulate matter and proposed rules for regional haze. Fine particulate matter refers to very small solid or liquid particles in the air. Regional haze involves fine particulate matter that impairs visibility in national parks. It was anticipated that utility NOX reductions called for in the EPA's final NOX SIP Call would (1) fully address the one-hour ozone standard and the new eight-hour ozone standard, and (2) partially address fine particulate matter and regional haze concerns. With the recent challenges to the NOX SIP Call and the eight-hour ozone standard (discussed below), it is unclear to what extent additional NOX reductions would be required of utilities.

    On May 14, 1999, the Court of Appeals ruled that both the new eight-hour ozone standard and the fine particulate matter standard were found questionable and were determined to be unenforceable by the EPA. In June, the EPA appealed the decision. On October 29, 1999, the full Court of Appeals rejected the EPA's request for reconsideration. It is likely that the EPA will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Cinergy currently cannot determine the outcome of the appeals process and the effects on future emissions reduction requirements.

    The EPA published the final regional haze rule on July 1, 1999. This rule establishes planning and emission reduction timelines for states to use to improve visibility in national parks throughout the U.S. The ultimate effect of the new regional haze rule could be requirements for (1) newer and cleaner technologies and additional controls on conventional particulates, and (2) reductions in SO2 and NOX emissions from utility sources. If more utility emissions reductions are required, the compliance cost could be significant. Cinergy currently cannot determine the outcome or effects of the states' determination.

    Air Toxics  As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in November 1998, the EPA finalized its ICR. The ICR requires all generating units to provide detailed information about coal use and mercury content. The EPA has selected about 100 generating units for one-time stack sampling, including Cinergy's Gibson Unit No. 3 and the Wabash River Repowering Project. The EPA is planning to make its regulatory determination on the need for additional regulation by the fourth quarter of 2000. If more air toxics regulations are issued, the compliance cost could be significant. Cinergy currently cannot predict the outcome or effects of the EPA's determination.

    NSR  The CAA's NSR provisions require that a company obtain a pre-construction permit if it plans to build a new stationary source of pollution or make a major modification to an existing facility. In July 1998, the EPA requested comments on proposed revisions to the NSR rules that would change NSR applicability by eliminating exemptions contained in the current regulation. Cinergy believes that if these changes are finalized, it will be significantly harder to maintain its facilities without triggering the NSR permitting requirements.

    See Note 18 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for a discussion of the lawsuit filed by the EPA as it relates to NSR issues.

    On September 15, 1999, the Attorney General of the State of New York issued a letter notifying Cinergy and CG&E of its intent to sue under the citizens suit provisions of the CAA. On November 3, 1999, the Attorney General of the State of Connecticut issued a letter notifying Cinergy and CG&E of its intent to sue under the citizens suit provisions of the CAA. New York and Connecticut allege that Cinergy and CG&E violated the CAA by constructing and continuing to operate a major modification of Beckjord without obtaining the required NSR pre-construction permits. Under the CAA, New York and Connecticut may not file a lawsuit against Cinergy or CG&E until at least sixty days after providing notice of the intent to sue.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions

Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI

    Energy Commodities Sensitivity  The Company markets and trades electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products. The Company utilizes over-the-counter forward and option contracts for the purchase and sale of electricity and also trades exchange-traded futures contracts. See Notes 9 and 10 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for the Company's accounting policies for certain derivative instruments. The Company's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks reported in the 1998 Form 10-K.

Cinergy

    Exchange Rate Sensitivity  The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts and currency swaps to hedge certain of its net investments in foreign operations. As part of the sale of the investment in Avon Energy, Cinergy eliminated the hedges related to the Midlands investment in July 1999. Additionally, the Company eliminated the forward exchange contracts related to its investment in the Czech Republic. See Notes 9 and 10 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for the Company's accounting policies for certain derivative instruments.

Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

    Interest Rate Sensitivity  The Company's net exposure to changes in interest rates primarily consists of debt instruments with floating interest rates that are benchmarked to various market indices. To manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to lower funding costs, the Company evaluates the use of, and has entered into, interest rate swaps. See Notes 9 and 10 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for the Company's accounting policies for certain derivative instruments. The Company's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks reported in the 1998 Form 10-K.

    Cinergy's committed lines are comprised of two revolving lines. The established revolving lines also provide credit support for Cinergy's commercial paper program, which is limited to a maximum principal amount of $400 million. Cinergy did not issue commercial paper during the third quarter of 1999.

    The established committed lines for CG&E and PSI also provide credit support for certain uncommitted lines, which are limited to a maximum principal amount of $75 million each. At September 30, 1999, $12 million was designated as credit support for PSI's uncommitted lines. CG&E and PSI also have the capacity to issue commercial paper that must be supported by committed lines of the respective company. Neither CG&E nor PSI issued commercial paper during the third quarter of 1999.

    Both CG&E and PSI have issued variable rate pollution control notes. Holders of these pollution control notes have the right to put their notes to the issuing company for redemption on any business day. Accordingly, these issuances are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Notes payable and other short-term obligations."

Cinergy

    Global Resources established a $100 million revolving credit agreement in 1998, which expired August 29, 1999, and was not extended or replaced.

    During mid-July, Cinergy's acquisition line was paid off due to the sale of Cinergy's 50% ownership interest in Avon Energy. (See Note 14 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information.")

Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P

    Year 2000  The Year 2000 issue generally exists because many computer systems and applications, including those embedded in equipment and facilities, use two-digit rather than four-digit date fields to designate an applicable year. As a result, the systems and applications may not properly recognize dates including and beyond the year 2000 or accurately process data in which such dates are included, potentially causing data miscalculations and inaccuracies or operational malfunctions and failures, which could materially affect a business's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

    Cinergy has established a centrally managed, company-wide initiative, known as the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, to identify, evaluate, and address Year 2000 issues. The Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, which began in the fourth quarter of 1996, is generally focused on three elements that are integral to this initiative: (1) business continuity, (2) risk management, and (3) regulatory compliance. Business continuity includes providing reliable electric and gas supply and service in a safe and cost-effective manner. This element encompasses mission-critical generation, transmission, and distribution systems and related infrastructure, as well as operational and financial IT systems and applications, end-user computing resources, and building systems (such as security, elevator, and heating and cooling systems). Risk management includes a review of the Year 2000 readiness efforts of Cinergy's critical suppliers, key customers and other principal business partners, and, as appropriate, the development of joint business support, contingency plans, and the inclusion of Year 2000 concerns as a regular part of the due diligence process in any new business venture. Regulatory compliance includes communications with regulatory agencies, other utilities, and various industry groups. While this initiative is broad in scope, it has been structured to identify and prioritize efforts for mission-critical electric and gas systems and services and key business partners.

    Under the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, Cinergy achieved a target date of June 30, 1999, for the remediation and testing of its mission-critical generation, transmission, and distribution systems, components, and applications (gas and electric). An innovative remediation and testing effort, which Cinergy also completed on June 30, 1999, involved resetting the clocks on all of the generation units it operates in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky so that they are now operating as if it were already January 1, 2000. Cinergy's experience has been that those units have continued to operate without any material adverse result relating to a Year 2000 issue. Cinergy will continue to monitor its mission-critical systems, components and applications for the remainder of the year to maintain their Year 2000 readiness status.

    Cinergy has also reviewed its existing contingency and business continuity plans and modified them in light of the Year 2000 issue. Contingency planning to maintain and restore service in the event of natural and other disasters (including software- and hardware-related problems) has been part of Cinergy's standard operation for many years, and Cinergy is working to leverage this experience in the review of existing plans to address Year 2000-related challenges. These reviews have assessed the potential for business disruption in various scenarios, including the most reasonably likely worst-case scenario, and to provide for key operational back up, recovery, and restoration alternatives.

    Cinergy cannot guarantee that third parties on whom it depends for essential goods and services (those where the interruption of the supply of such goods and services could lead to issues involving the safety of employees, customers, or the public; the continued reliable delivery of gas and/or electricity; and the ability to comply with applicable laws or regulations) will convert their mission-critical systems, components, and applications in a timely manner. Failure or delay by any of these third parties could significantly disrupt business. However, to address this issue, Cinergy has established a supplier compliance program, and is working with its critical suppliers in an effort to minimize such risks.

    In addition, Cinergy is coordinating its findings and other issues with other utilities and various industry groups via the Electric Power Research Institute Year 2000 Embedded Systems Project and the Year 2000 Readiness Assessment Program of the NERC, acting at the request of the DOE. The DOE has asked NERC to report on the integrity of the transmission system for North America and to coordinate and assess the preparation of the electric systems in North America for the Year 2000. NERC submitted its initial quarterly status report and coordination plan to the DOE in September 1998, and a second quarterly status report for the fourth quarter of 1998 was submitted on January 11, 1999. A third quarterly status report for the first quarter of 1999 was submitted on April 30, 1999. A fourth and final quarterly status report for the second quarter of 1999 was submitted to the DOE by NERC on August 3, 1999, in which Cinergy was listed as a "Y2k Ready" organization.

    Cinergy participated in the NERC-sponsored national preparedness drill on September 8 and 9, 1999. The goal of this drill was to rehearse, under simulated conditions, key portions of our administrative, operating, communications, and contingency plans for the transition into the Year 2000.

    Three major objectives were identified:


    Cinergy was successful in meeting these objectives.

    Cinergy currently estimates that the total cost for the inventory, assessment, remediation, testing, and upgrading of its systems as a result of the Year 2000 effort is approximately $13 million. Approximately $12.5 million in expenses have been incurred through September 30, 1999, for such things as external labor, for hardware and software upgrades, and for Cinergy employees who are dedicated full-time to the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program. The timing of these expenses may vary and is not necessarily indicative of readiness efforts or progress to date. Cinergy anticipates that a portion of its Year 2000 expenses will not be incremental costs, but rather, will represent the redeployment of existing IT resources. Since its formation, Cinergy has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant capital improvement costs related to planned system upgrades or replacements required in the normal course of business. These costs have not been accelerated as a result of the Year 2000 issue.

    The above information is based on Cinergy's current best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of future events, including the availability and future costs of certain technological and other resources, third-party modification actions, and other factors. Given the complexity of these issues and possible unidentified risks, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated and discussed above. Specific factors that might cause such differences include, among others; the ability to locate and correct all affected computer code, the timing and success of remedial efforts of third-party suppliers, and similar uncertainties.

    The above information is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure pursuant to the Federal Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.

Cinergy

    Other Commitments  At September 30, 1999, Cinergy had issued $337 million in guarantees primarily related to the energy marketing and trading activities of its subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, Cinergy had guaranteed $308 million of the debt securities of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

    Cinergy's diluted EPS increased to $0.76 for the third quarter of 1999, up more than 10 percent over results of $0.69 per share in the third quarter of 1998. The contribution to earnings of the Company's international operations increased $0.36 per share in the third quarter compared with the same period a year ago, primarily the result of the sale of the Company's share of Midlands, as discussed in Note 14.

    Earnings from regulated operations decreased $0.27 per share in the third quarter of 1999 compared with a year earlier. The decrease is primarily due to the results of the supply business and more normal operations and maintenance expenses following significant cost reductions in 1998, offset somewhat by growth in the service territory. Third quarter results for the supply business were down $0.36 per share from the same period in 1998. This is primarily attributable to the extreme weather conditions experienced in July 1999. Reference is made to the Form 8-K filed August 10, 1999, which describes the earnings impact of extreme weather experienced in July 1999.

    Cinergy's electric margins were positively impacted by $12 million or $0.07 EPS (EPS is net of fuel and income taxes) during the quarter, as compared to 1998, as a result of a change in estimate of PSI's utility services delivered but unbilled at month end.

    The explanations below follow the line items on the Statements of Income for Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI, which begin on page 9. However, only the line items that varied significantly from prior periods are discussed in these sections.

The results of Cinergy include other non-traditional entities.

    The decrease in electric operating revenues for Cinergy, CG&E and PSI for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to 1998, was primarily caused by decreased volumes on non-firm power wholesale transactions related to energy marketing and trading operations. Partially offsetting the decline was an increase in the average price per KWh for non-firm power customers, higher firm power KWh sales, and higher retail KWh sales resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers.

    Cinergy's electric margins were positively impacted by $12 million or $0.07 EPS (EPS is net of fuel and income taxes) during the quarter, as compared to 1998, as a result of a change in estimate of PSI's utility services delivered but unbilled at month end. Also contributing to the increase for Cinergy was increased international operations.

The results of Cinergy include other non-traditional entities, mainly CM&T.

    The increase in gas operating revenues for Cinergy for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to an increase in the wholesale gas operating revenues of CM&T resulting from an increase in the average price received per mcf sold.

    Partially offsetting the increase for Cinergy was the decrease in CG&E's gas operating revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998. This decrease was primarily due to an adjustment to estimated line losses used in the calculation of unbilled revenues. Also contributing to the decline in revenues for CG&E was a decrease in the number of retail customers resulting from the November 1997 implementation of the customer choice program in Ohio. CG&E accounts for the majority of Cinergy's retail, transportation, and other gas operating revenues.

Cinergy

    Other Revenues  The decrease in other revenues for Cinergy for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to development fees associated with new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's non-regulated entities that were collected in 1998.

    Purchased and Exchanged Power  The decrease in purchased and exchanged power expense for Cinergy, CG&E and PSI for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, compared to 1998, was primarily because of decreased purchases of non-firm power wholesale transactions as a result of a decline in sales volume in the energy marketing and trading operations. This decrease was offset partially by the extreme weather conditions experienced in July 1999. Reference is made to the Form 8-K filed on August 10, 1999, which describes the earnings impact of extreme weather experienced in July 1999.

    Gas Purchased  The increase in gas purchased expense for Cinergy for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 1998, was primarily because of an increase in the gas purchased expenses of CM&T. Partially offsetting the increase for Cinergy was a decline in purchased gas expense for CG&E, reflecting a decrease in the volume of gas purchased due to the loss of retail customers and a lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased.

    Other Operation  The increase in other operation expense for CG&E for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to an increase in computer hardware leasing expense and a bad debt write-off related to the energy marketing and trading business.

    The increase in other operation expense for PSI for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to an increase in the variable portion of base monthly fees related to the coal gasification services contract with Dynegy.

    The increase in other operation expense for Cinergy for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to the reasons outlined in the CG&E and PSI discussions above.

    Maintenance  The decrease in maintenance expense for Cinergy and PSI for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, in comparison to 1998, was primarily due to a reduction in maintenance costs associated with generating station repairs.

    Depreciation and Amortization  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for Cinergy and CG&E for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to additions to depreciable plant. Also contributing to the change for Cinergy and CG&E was an increased amortization of phase-in deferral expense, which reflects the PUCO-ordered phase-in plan for Zimmer.

Other Income and Deductions

    Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries  The decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for Cinergy for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was primarily driven by the July 1999 sale of Cinergy's 50% interest in Midlands. (See Note 14 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for a discussion of the sale of Cinergy's 50% investment in Avon Energy.)

    Miscellaneous—Net  The increase in miscellaneous—net for Cinergy of $9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, was primarily the result of transactions related to the sale of Midlands.

    Miscellaneous—net decreased for CG&E ($1 million) and PSI ($2 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 1999 compared to 1998. The CG&E decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income from a decrease in the balance of short-term loans to affiliated companies through Cinergy's money pool arrangement. The PSI decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in interest income and adjustments recorded related to certain transactions.

    Interest  Interest expense decreased for Cinergy ($5 million) for the quarter ended September 30, 1999. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest on short-term obligations resulting from a reduction in average short-term borrowings and lower short-term interest rates. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on long-term debt resulting from an increase in the amount of long-term debt outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

    Cinergy's diluted EPS increased to $1.93 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to $1.20 per share for the comparable period in 1998. During this same time period, the contribution to earnings of the company's international operations was $0.43 per share. This was primarily the result of the sale of the company's share of Midlands. Earnings from regulated operations, including the supply business, increased $0.32 per share during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase includes the impact of the extreme weather conditions experienced in July 1999. Reference is made to the Form 8-K filed on August 10, 1999, which describes the earnings impact of extreme weather experienced in July 1999.

    Cinergy's electric margins were positively impacted by $12 million or $0.07 EPS (EPS is net of fuel and income taxes) during the quarter, as compared to 1998, as a result of a change in estimate of PSI's utility services delivered but unbilled at month end.

The results of Cinergy include other non-traditional entities, mainly CM&T.

    The increase in gas operating revenues for Cinergy for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to the gas operating revenues of CM&T, which was acquired in June 1998.

    Partially offsetting the increase for Cinergy was the decrease in CG&E's gas operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998. This decrease was partially due to an adjustment to estimated line losses used in the calculation of unbilled revenues. Also contributing to the decrease in CG&E's gas operating revenues was a lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased which was passed on to end users, a decrease in the number of retail customers resulting from the November 1997 implementation of the customer choice program in Ohio, and a decrease in transportation mcf volumes resulting from the loss of a large industrial customer during late 1998. CG&E accounts for the majority of Cinergy's retail, transportation, and other gas operating revenues.

Cinergy

    Other Revenues  The increase in other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, for Cinergy was primarily the result of increases in sales and new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's non-regulated entities.

    Gas Purchased  The increase in gas purchased expense for Cinergy for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to an increase in the gas purchased expense of CM&T. Partially offsetting the increase for Cinergy was a decline in purchased gas expense for CG&E, reflecting a lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased.

    Other Operation  The decrease in other operation expense for PSI for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to the one-time charge of $80 million recorded during the second quarter of 1998 reflecting the implementation of a 1989 settlement of a dispute with the WVPA. Partially offsetting the decrease was the increase in the variable portion of the base monthly fees related to the coal gasification services contract with Dynegy.

    The decrease in other operation expense for Cinergy for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to the reasons outlined in the PSI discussion above. Partially offsetting the decrease for Cinergy was an increase in expenses associated with existing and new initiatives by certain of Cinergy's consolidated non-regulated businesses.

    Maintenance  The increase in maintenance expense for CG&E for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to maintenance outages, an increase in the cost of generating station repair parts, and an overall increase in required maintenance at all of CG&E's generating stations.

    The increase in maintenance expense for Cinergy for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was partially due to the reasons outlined in the CG&E discussion above. Also contributing to the change for Cinergy was an increase in PSI's maintenance expense primarily caused by generating station repair costs and planned maintenance outages.

    Depreciation and Amortization  The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily due to additions to depreciable plant. Also contributing to the change for Cinergy and CG&E was an increased amortization of phase-in deferral expense, which reflects the PUCO-ordered phase-in plan for Zimmer.

Other Income and Deductions

    Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries  For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $25 million for Cinergy, as compared to the same period of 1998. The increase was primarily driven by the increase in the earnings of Avon Energy for the period prior to the sale of the investment. (See Note 14 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for a discussion of the sale of Cinergy's 50% interest in Avon Energy.)

    Miscellaneous—Net  Miscellaneous—net increased $9 million for Cinergy during the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998. The Cinergy increase was primarily the result of transactions related to the sale of Midlands.

    Miscellaneous—net for PSI decreased $2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income and a decrease in the level of expenses associated with the sales of accounts receivable.

    Interest  Interest expense decreased $4 million for Cinergy for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period of 1998. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in interest on short-term obligations resulting from a reduction in average short-term borrowings and lower short-term interest rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in interest expense on long-term debt resulting from an increase in the amount of long-term debt outstanding.

Preferred Dividend Requirements of Subsidiaries

    Cinergy's preferred dividend requirements of subsidiaries decreased $1 million (21%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to PSI's redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.44% Series Cumulative Preferred Stock on March 1, 1998.

Preferred Dividend Requirement

    PSI's preferred dividend requirement decreased $1 million (23%) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period of 1998. This decrease was primarily attributable to PSI's redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.44% Series Cumulative Preferred Stock on March 1, 1998.

ULH&P

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR ULH&P FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

    The format of the following Results of Operations discussions has been changed from the format of prior periods. Unlike prior reports, the Results of Operations discussion for ULH&P is presented only for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, in accordance with General Instructions H(2)(a).

    Electric and gas margins and net income for ULH&P for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, and 1998 are as follows:

 
  ULH&P
 
  1999
  1998
 
  (in thousands)

Electric gross margin   $ 38,025   $ 34,565
Gas gross margin     25,214     20,972
Net income     9,073     6,626

    The increase in electric operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared to 1998, was primarily attributable to higher retail KWh sales resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers. A higher volume purchased from CG&E caused the associated change in electricity purchased from parent company for resale.

    The increase in gas operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, when compared to 1998, was primarily caused by an increase in retail mcf volumes sold and used per customer and an increase in the average price per mcf recovered from retail customers.

    The increase in depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 1998 was primarily due to additions to depreciable plant. The interest expense increase for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to 1998 was primarily due to the issuance of $40 million of debt during the fourth quarter of 1998 and the third quarter of 1999.

SIGNATURES

    Certain information and footnote 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 Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P, these statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to reflect the results of operations for the respective periods. The unaudited statements are subject to such adjustments as the annual audit by independent public accountants may disclose to be necessary.

    Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrants have duly caused this report to be signed by an officer and the chief accounting officer on their behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
