(a)   The Company sold its Martinka mining division and most of the Martinka related coal reserves to an unaffiliated
      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.
(c)   Sales were to the Parent company - Ohio Power Company for the Gavin Plant.

Idling of Mine

            The Meigs mine was temporarily idled on March 1, 1995.  Production
resumed on April 3, 1995.  The idling was scheduled because of coal inventory
surpluses arising during recent Gavin Plant outages resulting from the
scrubber retrofit project.
