a subsidiary of CSPCo ("Conesville") to CSPCo's Conesville
Generating Station. That asset is valued at $1,641,000 less

2. By adding the following sentences to the end of the third

which amount has accumulated to an amount in excess of $300,000
and income from the investment of those funds. The possible
merger in the future of Simco into CSPCo is under study at this
time.
