      company.  No return on equity investment associated with these operations has been billed since the division ceased
      mining coal effective July 1, 1992.  All results associated with the Martinka division since then are billed to the
      Parent Company, Ohio Power Company, eliminating any earnings effect to the Company.
(b)   As represented by "Cost of Operation" plus "Federal Income Taxes" reported in Statements of Income - Meigs Division.
(c)   Sales were to the Parent Company - Ohio Power Company for the Gavin Plant.

                                INFORMATION CONCERNING OPERATIONS
                               FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

      As described in Note 3 of the 1993 annual report and in prior quarterly
reports, the Company has been involved in litigation concerning the pumping of
water from its Meigs 31 mine.

      In April 1994 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit reversed
the judgement of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio
which had granted a preliminary injunction to the Company preventing the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (Federal EPA) and the Federal
Office of Surface Mining, Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) from interfering
with the removal of water from Meigs 31 mine.  The Company sought and received
a stay of the Court of Appeals' mandate and on July 15, 1994 filed a petition
with the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari seeking a review of the
Court of Appeals Order.

      As a result of the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection
proposing to fine the Company for alleged violations from the release of mine
water into the Ohio River, the Company filed an action on June 1, 1994 in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia seeking a
determination that the state of West Virginia has no jurisdiction to impose
penalties with respect to the Meigs mine water discharges.  On July 27, 1994
West Virginia filed an answer to the Company's complaint disputing the
Company's entitlement to a declaratory judgement and asserting a counterclaim
seeking an award of $2.55 million in civil penalties, reimbursement of
monitoring costs and compensation for unspecified natural resources damage. 
The cost of returning the mine to service including the cost of the resolution
of the aforementioned litigation and environmental mitigation will be
recovered through insurance or from Ohio Power Company under the terms of the
coal supply agreement.
