NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Total income taxes paid for the quarter ended June 30 were $234,768,000 and
$207,499,000 for 1996 and 1995, respectively. For the six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, income taxes paid were $236,435,000 and $220,085,000,
respectively. Interest paid, net of amounts capitalized, for the quarter
ended June 30 was $69,665,000 and $61,979,000 for 1996 and 1995,
respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, interest
paid was $137,684,000 and $129,570,000, respectively.
2. The South Carolina Public Service Commission, on May 7, 1996, ordered a
rate reduction in the form of a decrement rider of 0.4319 cents per
kilowatt-hour, or an average of approximately 8 percent, affecting South
Carolina retail customers. The rate reduction was reflected on bills
rendered on or after June 1, 1996. This net decrement rider reflects a
reduction for an interim true-up adjustment associated with Catawba Nuclear
Station purchased capacity costs as well as an increase for demand side
management costs recovery. The rate adjustment was made because, in the
South Carolina retail jurisdiction, cumulative levelized revenues
associated with the recovery of Catawba purchased capacity costs have
exceeded purchased capacity payments and accrual of deferred returns.
3. The Company is involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before
various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies regarding
matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve
substantial amounts. Where appropriate, the Company has made accruals in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
5 "Accounting for Contingencies," in order to provide for such
matters. Management is of the opinion that the final disposition of these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.
4. These are quarterly financial statements and the amounts reported in the
Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts
expected for the respective years. These amounts may be affected by
seasonal temperature variations, timing of scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance of certain electric generating units, and the Company's policy
of accruing estimates for certain other expenses ratably over twelve months
until final amounts are determined.
5. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial statements
contain adjustments of a normal recurring nature such that the financial
statements present fairly the financial position of the Company as of the
respective dates shown and the results of its operations for the respective
periods then ended.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity And Capital Resources
During the period January 1, 1996 through June 30, 1996, additions to
property (including nuclear fuel) of $320.6 million and retirements of $113.7
million resulted in a net increase in gross plant of $206.9 million.
The Company has completed the construction of a combustion turbine
facility in Lincoln County, North Carolina to provide capacity at periods of
peak demand. During 1995, twelve units of the Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station
began commercial operation. The last four units began commercial operation in
the first quarter of 1996, two units on February 1, 1996 and two units on March
1, 1996.
As a result of bids received in response to the two requests for
proposals (RFP) issued in 1995, the Company signed a Letter of Intent with PECO
Energy Co. of Philadelphia for the option to purchase up to 250 megawatts of
capacity during the summer months of 1998 through 2001. Contract arrangements
between the parties were finalized on August 1, 1996. The long-term RFP is
closed and will not be awarded.
The Company normally experiences seasonal peak loads in the summer and
winter which are relatively in balance. On August 14, 1995, the Company
experienced a new all-time peak load of 15,542 megawatts. This peak load figure
excludes both the portion of the demand of the other joint owners of the Catawba
Nuclear Station met by their retained ownership and the load of Nantahala Power
and Light Company.
Fixed charges coverage for the twelve months ended June 30, 1996, using
the SEC method, was 5.05 times. Internal cash generation for the twelve months
ended June 30, 1996 was 98 percent.
During July 1996, the Company made its first purchases under a program,
announced in March 1996, to repurchase up to $1 billion of its outstanding
Common Stock over the next five years. The Company may repurchase shares
periodically subject to available cash and alternative investment opportunities.
The Company is involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before
various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies regarding
matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve
substantial amounts. Where appropriate, the Company has made accruals in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 "Accounting
for Contingencies," in order to provide for such matters. Management is of the
opinion that the final disposition of these proceedings will not have a material
adverse effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.
The South Carolina Public Service Commission, on May 7, 1996, ordered a
rate reduction in the form of a decrement rider of 0.4319 cents per
kilowatt-hour, or an average of approximately 8 percent, affecting South
Carolina retail customers. The rate reduction was reflected on bills rendered on
or after June 1, 1996. This net decrement rider reflects a reduction for an
interim true-up adjustment associated with Catawba Nuclear Station purchased
capacity costs as well as an increase for demand side management costs recovery.
The rate adjustment was made because, in the South Carolina retail jurisdiction,
cumulative levelized revenues associated with the recovery of Catawba purchased
capacity costs have exceeded purchased capacity payments and accrual of deferred
returns.
On April 24, 1996, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
issued final rules on open access transmission. On July 9, 1996, the Company
filed a pro forma open access transmission tariff complying with the
requirements of the final rules. Such a filing was required of all
transmission-owning utilities subject to the FERC's final rules. The Company
also filed on that date a proposed settlement of all
8
<PAGE>
rate issues previously pending before the FERC. The Company's pro forma tariff
contains the rates agreed upon under the settlement. The settlement and the July
9, 1996 tariff filing remain subject to final FERC approval.
Results of Operations
Earnings per share for the second quarter and year-to-date June 1996
were $0.71 and $1.59, respectively, up 16.4% and 3.9% compared to the same
periods in 1995.
Revenues for the second quarter and year-to-date June 1996 increased by
$67.3 and $118.3 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods in
1995. Total electric sales for the second quarter were up 5.3% compared to the
second quarter of 1995. Warmer weather in May and June contributed to increases
in billed residential and general service sales of 14.5% and 7.4%, respectively.
Textile sales were down 6.4%, due to a weaker demand for textile goods, while
other industrial sales were up 1.1%. This increase in revenues was also
partially aided by increased revenues from the Associated Enterprises Group
business units. For year-to-date June 1996, total revenues increased primarily
due to warmer summer and colder winter weather and contributions from the
Associated Enterprises Group business units.
Fuel expense for the second quarter and year-to-date June 1996
increased by $14.9 and $22.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods
in 1995. These increases were primarily due to higher levels of fossil
generation as a percentage of total generation.
Net interchange and purchased power expense decreased $22.2 and $27.2
million for the second quarter and year-to-date June 1996, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1995. These decreases were primarily due to
decreases in power purchased from the other Catawba joint owners.
Operating and maintenance expenses increased $24.7 million for the
second quarter 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This 7.6% increase was
primarily due to higher nuclear outage costs associated with the timing of
planned refueling outages at the Company's nuclear power stations. Increased
activity of the Associated Enterprises Group business units also resulted in
increased costs. Year-to-date June 1996 operating and maintenance expenses
increased $72.6 million compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was
primarily due to costs associated with a severe winter storm affecting large
portions of the Company's service area in February 1996 and higher planned
nuclear refueling outage costs. Costs incurred in connection with the increased
activity of the Associated Enterprises Group business units also contributed to
this increase.
Depreciation and amortization increased $10.0 and $20.0 million for the
second quarter and year-to-date June 1996, respectively, compared to the same
periods in 1995. These increases are primarily due to the completion of the
Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station and additions to distribution plant,
including investment to support customer growth.
Allowance for funds used during construction and other deferred returns
decreased $5.2 and $7.9 million for the second quarter and year-to-date June
1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995. These decreases
were largely due to the completion of the Lincoln Combustion Turbine Station.
