NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTRUCTIONS: The space below is provided for important notes regarding
the financial statements or any account thereof. Furnish
particulars as to any significant contingent assets or
liabilities existing at the end of the year. Notes
relating to financial statements shown elsewhere in this
report may be indicated here by reference.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Property, Plant and Equipment and Related Depreciation
Property, Plant and Equipment is stated at historical cost.
Depreciation is provided on a composite straight-line basis using the
average of depreciable property at the beginning and end of each
year.
b. Income Taxes
The Corporation provides deferred taxes with respect to timing
differences in the recognition of revenues and expenses for tax and
accounting purposes. The major difference results from using
accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. The Corporation is
included in the Consolidated Federal Income Tax Return filed for The
Columbia Gas System, Inc.
c. Pension Costs
The Corporation participates in the Retirement Income Plan of
The Columbia Gas System, Inc. This is a trusteed noncontributory
Retirement Income Plan which, with certain minor exceptions, covers
all regular employees. The Service Corporation's portion amounted to
$1,042,000 in 1995 and $1,476,000 in 1994, including the amortization
of unfunded prior service costs.
d. Leases
Payments made by the Corporation in connection with operating
leases are charged to expense as incurred. No capitalized leases
existed in 1995.
e. Account Numbers
The Corporation uses certain FERC accounts which do not match
existing SEC accounts; therefore, the year-end balances of the
following FERC accounts were reclassified to a corresponding SEC
account.

f. Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
During 1991, the System adopted SFAS No. 106, Employer's Accounting
for Post-Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, retroactive to January
1, 1991. The Corporation has elected to record and defer the full amount
of its estimated accumulated post-retirement obligations other than
pensions. These obligations total $13,681,000 as of December 31, 1995,
and represent the actuarial present value of the post-retirement benefits
to be paid to current employees and retirees based on services rendered.
g. System Money Pool
The System Money Pool exists for affiliate companies to borrow
excess cash from other affiliate companies. Prior to 1995, the
Corporation served as the System Money Pool's administrator. A change in
accounting occurred in 1995 which eliminated the accumulation of these
loans on the System Money Pool administrator's records.
