Part I


Item 1.       Business

       (a)    General Development of the Business.

              Indiana  Gas  Company,  Inc.  (Indiana  Gas or the  company) is an
              operating  public utility engaged in the business of providing gas
              utility service in the state of Indiana. It was incorporated under
              the laws of the  state of  Indiana  on July 16,  1945.  All of the
              outstanding  shares of common  stock of the  company  are owned by
              Indiana Energy,  Inc. (Indiana Energy),  which is a public holding
              company.

              On June 14,  1999,  Indiana  Energy and  SIGCORP,  Inc.  (SIGCORP)
              jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement to combine
              into a new holding  company named Vectren  Corporation  (Vectren).
              SIGCORP is an investor-owned energy and telecommunications company
              that through its subsidiaries provides electric and gas service to
              southwest  Indiana and energy and  telecommunication  products and
              services throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.

              Indiana Gas Company,  Inc.  and Southern  Indiana Gas and Electric
              Company,  Inc.,  Indiana Energy's and SIGCORP's  utility companies
              will operate as separate subsidiaries of Vectren.

              The merger is conditioned,  among other things, upon the approvals
              of the  shareholders  of each  company  and  customary  regulatory
              approvals.  On December 17,  1999,  the merger was approved by the
              shareholders  of each company.  On December 20, 1999,  the Federal
              Energy Regulatory  Commission (FERC) issued an order approving the
              proposed merger. In approving the merger,  the FERC concluded that
              the  merger  was in the public  interest  and would not  adversely
              affect competition,  rates or regulation. The companies anticipate
              that the  remaining  regulatory  processes can be completed in the
              first quarter of calendar 2000.

       (c)    Narrative Description of the Business.

              During  fiscal 1999,  Indiana Gas  supplied  gas to about  500,000
              residential,  small commercial and contract (large  commercial and
              industrial)  customers in 284 communities in 48 of the 92 counties
              in the state of Indiana.  The  service  area has a  population  of
              approximately 2 million and contains diversified manufacturing and
              agriculture-related  enterprises.  The principal industries served
              include  automotive parts and  accessories,  feed, flour and grain
              processing,  metal castings,  aluminum products,  gypsum products,
              electrical equipment, metal specialties and glass.

              The  largest   communities   served  include   Muncie,   Anderson,
              Lafayette-West  Lafayette,  Bloomington,  Terre Haute, Marion, New
              Albany, Columbus,  Jeffersonville,  New Castle and Richmond. While
              Indiana  Gas does not  serve in  Indianapolis,  it does  serve the
              counties and communities which border that city.

              For  the  fiscal  year  ended  September  30,  1999,   residential
              customers  provided 66 percent of revenues,  small  commercial  23
              percent  and  contract  11  percent.  Approximately  99 percent of
              Indiana Gas' customers  used gas for space  heating,  and revenues
              from these  customers  for the fiscal year were  approximately  90
              percent of total operating revenues. Sales of gas are seasonal and
              strongly affected by variations in weather  conditions.  Less than
              half of total margin,  however,  is space heating related.  During
              the fiscal  year  ended  September  30,  1999,  Indiana  Gas added
              approximately 11,400 residential and commercial customers.

              Indiana Gas sells gas directly to  residential,  small  commercial
              and  contract  customers  at  approved  rates.  Indiana  Gas  also
              transports gas through its pipelines at approved rates to contract
              customers  which have  purchased  gas directly  from  producers or
              through  brokers and marketers.  The total volumes of gas provided
              to both  sales and  transportation  customers  is  referred  to as
              throughput.

              Gas  transported  on behalf of end-use  customers  in fiscal  1999
              represented 43 percent (51,213 MDth) of throughput  compared to 40
              percent  (45,598  MDth) in 1998 and 34  percent  (41,874  MDth) in
              1997.  Although  revenues  are  lower,  rates  for  transportation
              generally  provide the same  margins as would have been earned had
              the gas been sold under normal sales tariffs.

              Effective April 1, 1996,  Indiana Gas purchases all of its natural
              gas and winter delivery service from ProLiance Energy,  LLC, a gas
              marketing  affiliate  of  Indiana  Energy  (see Item 7,  ProLiance
              Energy,  LLC).  Prices for gas and related  services  purchased by
              Indiana Gas are  determined  primarily  by market  conditions  and
              rates  established  by the Federal Energy  Regulatory  Commission.
              Indiana  Gas'  rates and  charges,  terms of  service,  accounting
              matters,  issuance of  securities,  and certain other  operational
              matters are regulated by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission
              (IURC).

              Adjustments to Indiana Gas' rates and charges  related to the cost
              of gas are made  through  gas  cost  adjustment  (GCA)  procedures
              established by Indiana law and  administered by the IURC. The IURC
              has applied the statute  authorizing  the GCA procedures to reduce
              rates when  necessary so as to limit net operating  income,  after
              adjusting to normal weather,  to the level  authorized in the last
              general rate order.  The earnings  test provides that no refund be
              paid to the extent a utility has not earned its authorized utility
              operating income over the previous 60 months (or during the period
              since the utility's last rate order, if longer).

              Information regarding  environmental matters affecting the company
              is  incorporated  herein  by  reference  to Item 7,  Environmental
              Matters.

              Indiana Gas had 736 full-time employees and 25 part-time employees
              as of September 30, 1999.

              During fiscal 1997, the Indiana Gas Board of Directors  authorized
              management to undertake the actions  necessary and  appropriate to
              restructure Indiana Gas' operations.  These actions by Indiana Gas
              were consistent with Indiana Energy,  Inc.'s (Indiana Gas' parent)
              growth strategy that was approved by its board of directors during
              fiscal  1997.   See  Item  7,  Growth   Strategy   and   Corporate
              Restructuring.

Item 2.       Property

              The   properties  of  Indiana  Gas  are  used  for  the  purchase,
              production,  storage  and  distribution  of gas  and  are  located
              primarily  within the state of Indiana.  As of September 30, 1999,
              such  properties  included  10,948  miles of  distribution  mains;
              512,351  meters;  five  reservoirs  currently  being  used for the
              underground  storage of purchased  gas with  approximately  71,484
              acres of land held under storage  easements;  7,310,173 Dth of gas
              in company-owned  underground storage with a daily  deliverability
              of 134,160  Dth;  171,451  Dth of gas in contract  storage  with a
              daily  deliverability  of 3,563 Dth; and four liquefied  petroleum
              (propane) air-gas manufacturing plants with a total daily capacity
              of 32,700 Dth of gas.

              Indiana  Gas'  capital  expenditures  during the fiscal year ended
              September 30, 1999, amounted to $60.2 million.


Item 3.       Legal Proceedings

              See Item 8, Note 11 for  litigation  matters  involving  insurance
              carriers pertaining to Indiana Gas' former manufactured gas plants
              and storage facilities.

              See Item 8, Note 12 for discussion of litigation  matters relating
              to the gas supply and portfolio administration  agreements between
              ProLiance and Indiana Gas and ProLiance and Citizens Gas.


Item 4.       Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

              No matter was  submitted  during the fourth  quarter of the fiscal
              year ended September 30, 1999, to a vote of security holders.

              On December 17, 1999, the  shareholders  of Indiana  Energy,  Inc.
              approved the merger between Indiana Energy, Inc. and SIGCORP, Inc.

              Financial Condition

              Results of Operations

              Net income for Indiana Gas Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (Indiana
              Gas or the  company)  for the  last  three  fiscal  years  were as
              follows:

                    (Millions)          1999         1998        1997(1)

                    Net Income          $31.4        $30.9         $13.1

              (1) Reflects  restructuring  costs of $24.5 million after-tax (see
              Growth Strategy and Corporate Restructuring).


              Margin (Operating Revenues Less Cost of Gas)

              In 1999,  utility  margin  increased 4 percent ($8.7 million) when
              compared to 1998.  The increase is primarily  attributable  to the
              addition of new  residential and commercial  customers,  the lower
              cost of  unaccounted  for gas and a one-time  sale of native  gas.
              Weather  for the year was 1 percent  colder  than the same  period
              last year and 13 percent warmer than normal.

              In 1998,  utility margin  decreased 6 percent ($13.2 million) when
              compared  to 1997.  The  decrease  is  primarily  attributable  to
              weather  14  percent  warmer  than the prior  year and 14  percent
              warmer  than  normal,  offset  somewhat  by  the  addition  of new
              residential and commercial customers.

              In   1999,   total   system   throughput   (combined   sales   and
              transportation)  increased 3 percent (3.3 MMDth) when  compared to
              last year.  In 1998,  throughput  decreased 7 percent  (8.1 MMDth)
              when  compared  to 1997.  Indiana  Gas'  rates for  transportation
              generally  provide  the same  margins as are earned on the sale of
              gas under  its  sales  tariffs.  Approximately  one-half  of total
              system  throughput  represents  gas used for space  heating and is
              affected by weather.

              Total  average  cost  per  dekatherm  of  gas  purchased  (average
              commodity  and demand) was $3.01 in 1999,  $3.65 in 1998 and $3.64
              in 1997. The price changes are due primarily to changing commodity
              costs in the marketplace.

              Operating Expenses

              Operation and maintenance  expenses increased $6.3 million in 1999
              due in part to  administrative  and  service  fees paid to Indiana
              Gas'  affiliate,   IEI  Services,   LLC  (IEI  Services).   Higher
              administrative  service  costs  associated  with the company's new
              customer  information  and  work  management  systems  and  rental
              expense related to buildings  previously owned also contributed to
              the  increase.  These  increases  were  partially  offset  by  the
              adjustment to the company's severance accrual.

              Operation and maintenance  expenses  increased  approximately $4.6
              million  in 1998  when  compared  to  1997.  The  increase  is due
              primarily to administrative  and service fees paid to Indiana Gas'
              affiliate,  IEI Services, LLC (IEI Services) related to assets now
              owned  by IEI  Services.  IEI  Services  began  providing  support
              services to Indiana Gas effective  October 1, 1997 (see  resulting
              lower  depreciation  and  amortization  below).  The  increase was
              offset  somewhat  by  lower  labor  costs  and  related   benefits
              resulting from work force reductions.

              Restructuring  costs of $39.5 million  (pre-tax)  were recorded in
              1997 related to the  implementation of Indiana Energy,  Inc.'s new
              growth   strategy  during  that  year  (see  Growth  Strategy  and
              Corporate Restructuring).

              Depreciation and  amortization  increased in 1999 primarily due to
              additions  to  plant  to  serve  new  customers  and  to  maintain
              dependable  service  to  existing   customers.   Depreciation  and
              amortization  decreased  in 1998 due  primarily to the transfer of
              assets to IEI  Services,  and assets held for disposal  which were
              written  down to estimated  fair values in 1997.  The decrease was
              partially offset by additions to plant.

              Federal and state income taxes remained about the same in 1999 and
              increased in 1998 due primarily to changes in taxable income.

              Taxes other than income taxes  increased in 1999 by  approximately
              $1.0 million due to higher  property  tax  expense,  the result of
              additions  to plant.  Taxes other than income  taxes  decreased in
              1998 due to lower  property tax expense and reduced gross receipts
              tax expense.

              Interest Expense

              In 1999,  interest  expense  was about the same as 1998.  Interest
              expense  decreased  in 1998 due to a decrease in  interest  rates,
              partially offset by an increase in the average outstanding debt.

              Other Operating Matters


              Agreement to Merge with SIGCORP, Inc.

              On June 14,  1999,  Indiana  Energy and  SIGCORP,  Inc.  (SIGCORP)
              jointly announced the signing of a definitive agreement to combine
              into a new holding  company named Vectren  Corporation  (Vectren).
              SIGCORP is an investor-owned energy and telecommunications company
              that through its subsidiaries provides electric and gas service to
              southwest  Indiana and energy and  telecommunication  products and
              services throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.

              Under the agreement,  Indiana Energy shareholders will receive one
              share of Vectren  common  stock for each  share of Indiana  Energy
              held at the closing date. SIGCORP  shareholders will receive 1.333
              shares of Vectren  common  stock for each share of SIGCORP held at
              the closing date. The transaction,  which has been approved by the
              boards of directors of both companies, is intended to be accounted
              for as a pooling of interests. The transaction is also intended to
              be a tax-free exchange of shares.

              Indiana Gas Company,  Inc.  and Southern  Indiana Gas and Electric
              Company,  Inc.,  Indiana Energy's and SIGCORP's utility companies,
              will operate as subsidiaries of Vectren.

              The merger is conditioned,  among other things, upon the approvals
              of the  shareholders  of each  company  and  customary  regulatory
              approvals.  On December 17,  1999,  the merger was approved by the
              shareholders  of each company.  On December 20, 1999,  the Federal
              Energy Regulatory  Commission (FERC) issued an order approving the
              proposed merger. In approving the merger,  the FERC concluded that
              the  merger  was in the public  interest  and would not  adversely
              affect competition,  rates or regulation. The companies anticipate
              that the  remaining  regulatory  processes can be completed in the
              first quarter of calendar 2000.

              Subsequent Acquisition Agreement

              On December 15, 1999, Indiana Energy Inc. announced that the board
              of  directors  had  approved a  definitive  agreement  under which
              Indiana Energy will acquire the natural gas distribution  business
              of Dayton  Power and Light  Co.,  Inc.  This  acquisition,  with a
              purchase  price of $425  million,  is expected to be funded with a
              bank  facility  which will be  replaced  over time with  permanent
              financing.  This  transaction is conditioned  upon the approval of
              several  regulatory  bodies.  Management  hopes  to  complete  the
              transaction by the end of the second quarter of 2000.

              Growth Strategy and Corporate Restructuring

              In April 1997, the Board of Directors of Indiana Energy approved a
              growth strategy designed to support the company's  transition into
              a more  competitive  environment.  As part of the  current  growth
              strategy,  Indiana  Energy  will  endeavor  to  become  a  leading
              regional  provider of energy products and services and to grow its
              consolidated  earnings  per  share  by an  average  of 10  percent
              annually  through 2004. To achieve such earnings  growth,  Indiana
              Energy's   aim  is  to  grow  the   earnings   contribution   from
              non-regulated  operations  to over 35 percent of its total  annual
              earnings  by 2004 and to  aggressively  manage  costs  within  its
              utility  operations  and  non-regulated   administrative  services
              provider.

              During  1997,  the  Indiana  Gas  Board  of  Directors  authorized
              management to undertake the actions  necessary and  appropriate to
              restructure  Indiana  Gas'  operations  and  recognize a resulting
              restructuring  charge of $39.5 million ($24.5  million  after-tax)
              for fiscal 1997 as described below.

              In July 1997,  the company  advised its  employees  of its plan to
              reduce its work force from about 1,025 full-time employees at June
              30, 1997, to  approximately  800 employees by 2002. The reductions
              are  being   implemented   through   involuntary   separation  and
              attrition.  Indiana  Gas  recorded  restructuring  costs  of  $5.4
              million  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1997  related to the
              involuntary  terminations  planned  under the  company's  specific
              near-term   employee  reduction  plan,  which  was  scheduled  for
              completion  by  the  end  of  fiscal  1999.  These  costs  include
              separation pay in accordance with Indiana Gas' severance policy of
              $3.9  million,   and  net  curtailment  losses  related  to  these
              employees'  postretirement  and pension  benefits.  As a result of
              initial work force reductions  during September 1997 and primarily
              attrition thereafter,  most of the reductions  contemplated during
              the two year period and  accrued  originally  have been  achieved.
              During the second quarter of fiscal 1999, the company reviewed its
              remaining  accruals for costs associated with the involuntary work
              force reductions.  Taking into  consideration an unexpectedly high
              level of voluntary  terminations,  the company  determined that no
              additional  significant  involuntary  work force  reductions  were
              likely to occur.  Prior to  September  30,  1998,  $2.2 million of
              involuntary  termination  benefits had been paid. As a result, the
              severance  accrual and other  operating  expenses  were reduced by
              $1.7 million during fiscal year 1999.

              Indiana  Gas'  management  also  committed  to  sell,  abandon  or
              otherwise  dispose of certain  assets,  including  buildings,  gas
              storage  fields  and  intangible   plant.   Indiana  Gas  recorded
              restructuring  costs of $34.1 million during the fourth quarter of
              fiscal  1997 to  adjust  the  carrying  value of those  assets  to
              estimated fair value. These assets have been sold or are no longer
              in use.

              ProLiance Energy, LLC

              ProLiance  Energy,  LLC  (ProLiance),   a  nonregulated  marketing
              affiliate  of Indiana  Energy,  began  providing  natural  gas and
              related  services to Indiana Gas and Citizens Gas and Coke Utility
              (Citizens Gas) effective April 1, 1996.

              The sale of gas and provision of other  services to Indiana Gas by
              ProLiance is subject to  regulatory  review  through the quarterly
              gas cost adjustment proceeding currently pending before the IURC.

              On September 12, 1997, the Indiana Utility  Regulatory  Commission
              (IURC)  issued a decision  finding  the gas  supply and  portfolio
              administration  agreements  between  ProLiance and Indiana Gas and
              ProLiance  and  Citizens  Gas (the gas  supply  agreements)  to be
              consistent with the public interest. The IURC's decision reflected
              the  significant  gas  cost  savings  to  customers   obtained  by
              ProLiance's services and suggested that all material provisions of
              the agreements between ProLiance and the utilities are reasonable.
              Nevertheless,  with  respect  to  the  pricing  of  gas  commodity
              purchased  from  ProLiance and two other pricing  terms,  the IURC
              concluded that additional  review in the gas cost adjustment (GCA)
              process  would be  appropriate  and directed that these matters be
              considered  further in the pending,  consolidated  GCA  proceeding
              involving  Indiana  Gas and  Citizens  Gas.  The  IURC has not yet
              established   a   schedule   for   conducting   these   additional
              proceedings.

              The IURC's  September  12,  1997,  decision  was  appealed  to the
              Indiana  Court of Appeals by certain  Petitioners,  including  the
              Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor,  the Citizens Action
              Coalition of Indiana and a small group of large-volume  customers.
              On October 8, 1998, the Indiana Court of Appeals issued a decision
              which reversed and remanded the case to the IURC with instructions
              that the gas supply  agreements be disapproved.  The basis for the
              decision  was that because the gas supply  agreements  provide for
              index based  pricing of gas  commodity  sold by  ProLiance  to the
              utilities,  the gas supply agreements should have been the subject
              of an application  for approval of an alternative  regulatory plan
              under Indiana statutory law.

              On April 22, 1999,  the Indiana  Supreme  Court granted a petition
              for  transfer of the case and will now  consider the appeal of the
              IURC's  decision  and issue its own  decision on the merits of the
              appeal at a later date.  By granting  transfer,  the Supreme Court
              has vacated the Court of Appeals' decision.

              If the Supreme Court reverses the IURC's  decision , the case will
              be  remanded  to the IURC for further  proceedings  regarding  the
              public interest in the gas supply agreements. If the Supreme Court
              affirms   the   IURC's   decision,   as   described   above,   the
              reasonableness of certain of the gas costs incurred by Indiana Gas
              under the gas supply  agreements  will be further  reviewed by the
              IURC  in  the  consolidated  GCA  proceeding.   The  existence  of
              significant   benefits  to  the  utilities  and  their   customers
              resulting  from  ProLiance's  services has not been  challenged on
              appeal.  Indiana Gas and  Citizens Gas are  continuing  to utilize
              ProLiance for their gas supplies.

              On or  about  August  11,  1998,  Indiana  Gas,  Citizens  Gas and
              ProLiance each received a Civil Investigative  Demand ("CID") from
              the United  States  Department of Justice  requesting  information
              relating to Indiana Gas' and Citizens Gas'  relationship  with and
              the activities of ProLiance.  The Department of Justice issued the
              CID to gather  information  regarding  ProLiance's  formation  and
              operations,  and to  determine  if  trade  or  commerce  has  been
              restrained. Indiana Gas has provided all information requested and
              management  continues  to believe  that  there are no  significant
              issues in this matter.

              While the results of the ProLiance  issues  mentioned above cannot
              be predicted,  management  does not expect these matters to have a
              material  impact on Indiana Gas' financial  position or results of
              operations. However, no assurance can be provided.

              The Year 2000 Issue

              Many existing  computer programs use only two digits to identify a
              year in the date field. These programs were designed and developed
              without  considering  the  impact  of the  upcoming  change in the
              century. If not corrected,  many computer  applications could fail
              or create  erroneous  results by or at the year  2000.  This issue
              relates  not  only to  information  technology  (IT),  but also to
              non-IT  related  equipment  and plant  that may  contain  embedded
              date-sensitive microcontrollers or microchips.

              The  company  has  identified   what  it  believes  are  its  most
              significant  worst  case Year 2000  scenarios  for the  purpose of
              helping it to focus its Year 2000 efforts. These scenarios are the
              interference with the company's ability to (1) receive and deliver
              gas  to  customers,   (2)  monitor  gas  pressure  throughout  the
              company's gas distribution  system,  (3) bill and receive payments
              from  customers,  and (4)  maintain  continuous  operation  of its
              computer  systems.  As discussed  below, the company has taken the
              steps  necessary  to ensure  that these worst case  scenarios  are
              addressed and any impact has been minimized.

              The  company  has  evaluated  the Year  2000  readiness  of all IT
              hardware and software including the mainframe,  network,  servers,
              personal   computers,   system  and   application   software   and
              telecommunications.  Almost  all  hardware  was  found  to  be  in
              compliance  as a result of  projects  conducted  in 1997 and 1998.
              Replacements of major customer  information  and billing  systems,
              which had  already  begun in 1997,  were  placed  into  service in
              January 1999. These new systems, driven by the need for additional
              functionality  and business  flexibility,  are designed to be Year
              2000 compliant and have been tested. Other maintenance and project
              activities conducted in 1998 and 1999 and activities scheduled for
              the  remainder of 1999 have been  initiated to bring the remaining
              software   environment  into  compliance.   The  projects  include
              replacements,  upgrades and rewrites.  The  company's  plan for IT
              items includes the following phases and timeline: (a) Assessment -
              completed  in  1998,  (b)  Strategy  -  completed  in 1998 and (c)
              Design,  Implementation,  Testing and  Validation - in process and
              substantially  completed  as of  September  30,  1999,  and  fully
              completed  by  October  31,  1999.  The  company  has not found it
              necessary  to  postpone  work on any other  critical  IT  projects
              because of efforts to achieve Year 2000 compliance.

              Non-IT systems with embedded  microcontrollers  or microchips have
              been evaluated to determine if they are Year 2000 compliant. These
              systems include buildings,  transportation,  monitoring equipment,
              process  controls,  engineering  and  construction.  The  internal
              assessment  process has been completed,  and few compliance issues
              were found.  Software  upgrades  for  equipment in the gas control
              system were completed in July 1999.

              The  company  has  contacted  its  major  vendors,  suppliers  and
              customers to gather information regarding the status of their Year
              2000 compliance.  Although compliance issues identified from these
              inquiries have been  addressed,  this process may not fully ensure
              these parties' Year 2000 compliance. Disruptions in the operations
              of these parties could have an adverse  financial and  operational
              effect on the company.

              The company has  developed  its  contingency  plan related to Year
              2000 issues.  This plan includes  modifying the company's  already
              existing  plans for business  resumption,  information  technology
              disaster  recovery and gas supply  contingencies,  and  considers,
              among other things,  alternate  recovery  locations,  backup power
              generation, adequate material supplies and personnel requirements.
              The  company's  contingency  plan  was  filed  with  the  IURC  on
              September 30, 1999. This plan will be in place, tested and refined
              as needed by December 31, 1999.

              Total  costs  expected to be incurred by the company to remedy its
              Year 2000 issues were originally estimated at $1.5 million,  which
              included costs to replace certain existing systems sooner than had
              been planned.  At September 30, 1999,  the company  estimates that
              $.1 million remains to be expensed and that total expenditures for
              the  remedy of Year 2000  issues  will  approximate  the  original
              estimate.

              Management believes that Year 2000 issues have been addressed on a
              schedule and in a manner that will prevent such issues from having
              a material impact on the company's  financial  position or results
              of operations. However, while the company has and will continue to
              manage its Year 2000  compliance  plan,  there can be no assurance
              that the company will be successful in identifying  and addressing
              all  material  Year 2000  issues  including  those  related to the
              company's vendors, suppliers and customers.

              Environmental Matters

              Indiana Gas is currently conducting  environmental  investigations
              and  work  at  26  sites  that  were  the   locations   of  former
              manufactured gas plants.  It has been seeking to recover the costs
              of the  investigations  and work from insurance carriers and other
              potentially  responsible  parties (PRPs).  The IURC has determined
              that these costs are not recoverable from utility customers.

              Indiana Gas has completed the process of identifying  PRPs and now
              has PRP  agreements  in place  covering  19 of the 26  sites.  The
              agreements  provide  for  coordination  of efforts  and sharing of
              investigation  and clean-up  costs  incurred and to be incurred at
              the sites.  PSI Energy,  Inc.  is a PRP on all 19 sites.  Northern
              Indiana  Public  Service  Company  is a PRP on 5 of the 19  sites.
              These  agreements  limit  Indiana  Gas'  share of past and  future
              response  costs at these 19 sites to  between  20 and 50  percent.
              Based on the  agreements,  Indiana Gas has  recorded a  receivable
              from  PRPs  for  their  unpaid  share  of the  liability  for work
              performed by Indiana Gas to date, as well as accrued  Indiana Gas'
              proportionate  share of the estimated cost related to work not yet
              performed.

              Indiana  Gas has  filed a  complaint  in  Indiana  state  court to
              continue its pursuit of insurance  coverage  from three  insurance
              carriers, with the trial scheduled for early 2000. As of September
              30,  1999,  Indiana  Gas  has  recorded   settlements  from  other
              insurance  carriers in an aggregate amount of approximately  $15.5
              million.  Subsequent  to  September  30,  1999,  an  agreement  in
              principle has been reached with one of these insurers.

              These  environmental  matters  have  had  no  material  impact  on
              earnings  since  costs  recorded  to  date  approximate  insurance
              settlements  received.  While  Indiana Gas has  recorded all costs
              which it presently expects to incur in connection with remediation
              activities,  it is possible  that future  events may require  some
              level of additional  remedial  activities  which are not presently
              foreseen.

              For further information  regarding the status of investigation and
              remediation of the sites and financial  reporting,  see Note 11 of
              the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

              Gas Cost Adjustment

              Adjustments to Indiana Gas' rates and charges  related to the cost
              of gas are made  through  gas  cost  adjustment  (GCA)  procedures
              established by Indiana law and  administered  by the IURC. The GCA
              passes  through  increases  and  decreases  in the  cost of gas to
              Indiana Gas' customers dollar for dollar.

              In addition,  the IURC has applied the statute authorizing the GCA
              procedures  to reduce rates when  necessary so as to limit utility
              operating income,  after adjusting to normal weather, to the level
              authorized  in the last  general  rate order.  The  earnings  test
              provides  that no refund be paid to the  extent a utility  has not
              earned its authorized  utility  operating income over the previous
              60 months  (or during the  period  since the  utility's  last rate
              order, if longer).

              New Accounting Standards

              In  fiscal  1999,  the  company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
              Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
              an Enterprise and Related Information.  This statement establishes
              standards  for the way that public  companies  report  information
              about  operating  segments  in  annual  financial  statements  and
              requires that those companies  report selected  information  about
              operating  segments in annual and interim financial reports issued
              to shareholders. Indiana Gas has no reportable segments.

              In June 1998,  the FASB issued  Statement of Financial  Accounting
              Standards  No. 133,  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and
              Hedging  Activities.  The  statement  establishes  accounting  and
              reporting  standards  requiring that every derivative  instrument,
              including  certain  derivative   instruments   embedded  in  other
              contracts,  be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or
              liability  measured at its fair value. The statement requires that
              changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized  currently in
              earnings  unless  specific  hedge  accounting  criteria  are  met.
              Special  accounting  for  qualifying  hedges allows a derivative's
              gains and losses to offset  related  results on the hedged item in
              the income  statement,  and requires  that a company must formally
              document,  designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions
              that receive hedge accounting.  In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS
              137,  which  defers  the  effective  date of SFAS  133.  ProLiance
              utilizes  derivative  instruments  to  manage  pricing  decisions,
              minimize the risk of price  volatility,  and  minimize  price risk
              exposure in the energy markets. The standard will be effective for
              ProLiance in fiscal 2001.  ProLiance  has not yet  quantified  the
              impact of adopting  this  statement on its  financial  position or
              results of operations.

              Liquidity and Capital Resources

              Indiana Gas'  capitalization  objectives  are 55-65 percent common
              equity  and  preferred  stock and 35-45  percent  long-term  debt.
              Indiana Gas' common  equity  component was 57 percent of its total
              capitalization at September 30, 1999.

              New construction,  normal system maintenance and improvements, and
              information  technology investments needed to provide service to a
              growing  customer  base  will  continue  to  require   substantial
              expenditures.  Total capital required to fund capital expenditures
              and  refinancing  requirements  for  1998  and  1999,  along  with
              estimated amounts for 2000 through 2002, is as follows:

              Indiana  Gas'  long-term  goal is to  internally  fund at least 75
              percent  of its  capital  expenditure  program.  This  has  helped
              Indiana Gas maintain its high creditworthiness. The long-term debt
              of Indiana Gas is currently rated Aa2 by Moody's Investors Service
              and AA- by Standard & Poor's  Corporation.  In 1999, 59 percent of
              Indiana Gas' capital  expenditures  were funded  internally (i.e.,
              from net  income  less  dividends  plus  charges to net income not
              requiring funds). In 1998, 64 percent of capital expenditures were
              provided by funds  generated  internally.  External funds required
              for the 1999 construction  program were obtained primarily through
              short-term  debt.  Indiana Gas' ratio of earnings to fixed charges
              for 1999 was 4.0 (see Exhibit 12).

             In July 1999, Indiana Gas retired $10 million of 8.90% Notes.

             In July 1999,  Indiana Gas filed a registration  statement with the
             Securities and Exchange  Commission which has become effective with
             respect to $100 million in debt securities.  Indiana Gas expects to
             issue this debt pursuant to a medium-term note program, denominated
             as  Series  G. The net  proceeds  from  the sale of these  new debt
             securities will be used for general corporate  purposes,  including
             repayment  of  long-term   debt  and   financing  of  Indiana  Gas'
             continuing construction program.

              On October 5, 1999,  Indiana Gas issued  $30,000,000  in principal
              amount of Series G Medium  Term Notes  bearing  interest  at 7.08%
              with a maturity date of October 5, 2029.

             Provisions  under which  certain of Indiana Gas' Series E, Series F
             and Series G Medium-Term  Notes were issued  entitle the holders of
             $137  million of these notes to put the debt back to Indiana Gas at
             face value at certain specified dates before maturity  beginning in
             2000.  Long-term debt subject to the put provisions during the four
             years following 1999 totals $20.0 million.

             Short-term  cash working  capital is required  primarily to finance
             customer accounts  receivable,  unbilled utility revenues resulting
             from  cycle  billing,  gas  in  underground  storage,  prepaid  gas
             delivery  service  and  capital   expenditures   until  permanently
             financed.  Short-term  borrowings  tend to be  greatest  during the
             heating  season  when  accounts  receivable  and  unbilled  utility
             revenues are at their  highest.  Indiana Gas'  commercial  paper is
             rated P-1 by Moody's and A-1+ by Standard & Poor's.  Prior to March
             1999,  bank  lines  of  credit  had  been  the  primary  source  of
             short-term   financing.   Effective  in  March  1999,  Indiana  Gas
             implemented a $100 million commercial paper program.

             Forward-Looking Information

             A "safe harbor" for  forward-looking  statements is provided by the
             Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995  (Reform Act of
             1995).  The  Reform  Act of 1995  was  adopted  to  encourage  such
             forward-looking   statements  without  the  threat  of  litigation,
             provided those statements are identified as forward-looking and are
             accompanied  by  meaningful   cautionary   statements   identifying
             important  factors  that could  cause the actual  results to differ
             materially from those  projected in the statement.  Certain matters
             described  in  Management's  Discussion  and Analysis of Results of
             Operations and Financial Condition,  including, but not limited to,
             Indiana Energy's earnings growth strategy,  Indiana Energy's merger
             with SIGCORP and the formation of Vectren,  ProLiance and Year 2000
             issues, are forward-looking  statements.  Such statements are based
             on  management's  beliefs,  as  well  as  assumptions  made  by and
             information  currently  available to management.  When used in this
             filing  the  words  "aim,"  "anticipate,"  "endeavor,"  "estimate,"
             "expect,"  "objective,"   "projection,"   "forecast,"  "goal,"  and
             similar  expressions  are  intended  to  identify   forward-looking
             statements.  In  addition  to any  assumptions  and  other  factors
             referred to specifically  in connection  with such  forward-looking
             statements,  factors  that  could  cause  Indiana  Energy's  actual
             results  to  differ  materially  from  those  contemplated  in  any
             forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

             Factors  affecting  utility  operations  such  as  unusual  weather
             conditions;    catastrophic    weather-related    damage;   unusual
             maintenance or repairs;  unanticipated changes to gas supply costs,
             or  availability  due to higher demand,  shortages,  transportation
             problems   or  other   developments;   environmental   or  pipeline
             incidents; or gas pipeline system constraints.

             Increased competition in the energy environment,  including effects
             of industry restructuring and unbundling.

             Regulatory  factors such as  unanticipated  changes in rate-setting
             policies  or  procedures;   recovery  of  investments   made  under
             traditional  regulation,  and  the  frequency  and  timing  of rate
             increases.

             Financial or regulatory  accounting  principles or policies imposed
             by the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board,  the Securities and
             Exchange  Commission,  the Federal  Energy  Regulatory  Commission,
             state public  utility  commissions,  state  entities which regulate
             natural gas  transmission,  gathering and  processing,  and similar
             entities with regulatory oversight.

             Economic   conditions   including   inflation  rates  and  monetary
             fluctuations.

             Changing   market   conditions  and  a  variety  of  other  factors
             associated with physical energy and financial  trading  activities,
             including,  but not limited to, price,  basis,  credit,  liquidity,
             volatility, capacity, interest rate and warranty risks.

             Availability or cost of capital, resulting from changes in: Indiana
             Energy,   interest   rates,   and  securities   ratings  or  market
             perceptions of the utility industry and energy-related industries.

             Employee  workforce  factors,  including changes in key executives,
             collective  bargaining  agreements  with  union  employees  or work
             stoppages.

             Legal and regulatory  delays and other  obstacles  associated  with
             mergers, acquisitions and investments in joint ventures such as the
             ProLiance judicial and administrative proceedings, the formation of
             Vectren,  and the acquisition of the gas  distribution  business of
             Dayton Power & Light Co, Inc.

             Costs and other  effects of legal and  administrative  proceedings,
             settlements,  investigations,  claims and other matters, including,
             but not limited to, those described in the Other Operating  Matters
             section  of  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis  of Results of
             Operations and Financial Condition.

             Changes in federal, state or local legislative  requirements,  such
             as   changes  in  tax  laws  or  rates,   environmental   laws  and
             regulations.

             The  inability  of the  company  and  its  vendors,  suppliers  and
             customers to achieve Year 2000 readiness.

             Indiana Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries  undertakes no obligation
             to  publicly  update  or  revise  any  forward-looking  statements,
             whether  as a result of  changes  in  actual  results,  changes  in
             assumptions, or other factors affecting such statements.


Item 7A.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

             Indiana Gas' (the company's) debt portfolio  contains a substantial
             amount of fixed-rate long-term debt and, therefore, does not expose
             the company to the risk of material  earnings or cash flow loss due
             to changes in market  interest  rates.  At September 30, 1999,  the
             company  was not  engaged  in other  contracts  which  would  cause
             exposure to the risk of material  earnings or cash flow loss due to
             changes  in market  commodity  prices,  foreign  currency  exchange
             rates, or interest rates.

Item 8.   Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

             Management's Responsibility for Financial Statements

             The management of the company is responsible for the preparation of
             the  consolidated  financial  statements and the related  financial
             data  contained  in  this  report.  The  financial  statements  are
             prepared  in  conformity   with   generally   accepted   accounting
             principles and follow accounting policies and principles applicable
             to regulated public utilities.

             The integrity and objectivity of the data in this report, including
             required  estimates  and  judgements,  are  the  responsibility  of
             management.  Management maintains a system of internal controls and
             utilizes  an  internal  auditing  program  to  provide   reasonable
             assurance of compliance  with company  policies and  procedures and
             the safeguard of assets.

             The  board  of  directors  pursues  its  responsibility  for  these
             financial  statements  through  its audit  committee,  which  meets
             periodically  with  management,   the  internal  auditors  and  the
             independent  auditors,  to  assure  that each is  carrying  out its
             responsibilities.  Both the internal  auditors and the  independent
             auditors meet with the Audit  Committee of the  company's  board of
             directors, with and without management  representatives present, to
             discuss the scope and results of their  audits,  their  comments on
             the  adequacy of internal  accounting  controls  and the quality of
             financial reporting.

             Report of Independent Public Accountants

             To the  Shareholders and Board of Directors of Indiana Gas Company,
             Inc.:

             We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and
             schedules  of  long-term  debt of Indiana  Gas  Company,  Inc.  (an
             Indiana  corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Indiana Energy,
             Inc.) and subsidiary  companies as of September 30, 1999, and 1998,
             and  the  related   consolidated   statements  of  income,   common
             shareholder's  equity and cash flows for each of the three years in
             the period ended September 30, 1999. These financial statements are
             the responsibility of the company's management.  Our responsibility
             is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our
             audits.

             We  conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
             auditing  standards.  Those  standards  require  that we  plan  and
             perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the
             financial  statements are free of material  misstatement.  An audit
             includes  examining,  on a  test  basis,  evidence  supporting  the
             amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
             includes  assessing the accounting  principles used and significant
             estimates  made by  management,  as well as evaluating  the overall
             financial  statement  presentation.  We  believe  that  our  audits
             provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

             In our opinion,  the financial statements referred to above present
             fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Indiana
             Gas Company,  Inc. and  subsidiary  companies,  as of September 30,
             1999, and 1998, and the results of their  operations and their cash
             flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30,
             1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

             1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Practices

             A.  Consolidation

             Indiana Gas Company,  Inc. and its subsidiaries (Indiana Gas or the
             company)  provide  natural  gas and  transportation  services  to a
             diversified base of customers in 284 communities in 48 of Indiana's
             92 counties.

             B.  Utility Plant and Depreciation

             Except as described below,  utility plant is stated at the original
             cost  and  includes   allocations  of  payroll-related   costs  and
             administrative  and general  expenses,  as well as an allowance for
             the cost of funds used during construction.  Upon normal retirement
             of a depreciable unit of property,  the cost is credited to utility
             plant and charged to  accumulated  depreciation  together  with the
             cost of removal,  less any salvage.  No gain or loss is  recognized
             upon normal retirement.

             Provisions for  depreciation of utility  property are determined by
             applying  straight-line  rates to the original  cost of the various
             classifications of property.  The average depreciation rate was 4.3
             percent for 1999, 3.9 percent for 1998, and 4.1 percent for 1997.

             Cost  in  excess  of   underlying   book  value  of  acquired   gas
             distribution companies is reflected as a component of utility plant
             and is being amortized primarily over 40 years.

             C.  Unamortized Debt Discount and Expense

             Indiana Gas was  authorized  as part of an August 17,  1994,  order
             from the Indiana Utility  Regulatory  Commission (IURC) to amortize
             over a 15-year period the debt discount and expense  related to new
             debt  issues  and  future  premiums  paid  for debt  reacquired  in
             connection with  refinancing.  Debt discount and expense for issues
             in place prior to this order are being  amortized over the lives of
             the  related  issues.  Premiums  paid  prior to this order for debt
             reacquired in connection with  refinancing are being amortized over
             the life of the refunding issue.

             D.  Cash Flow Information

             For the purposes of the Consolidated  Statements of Cash Flows, the
             company  considers cash  investments  with an original  maturity of
             three months or less to be cash  equivalents.  Cash paid during the
             periods reported for interest and income taxes were as follows:

</TABLE>


             E.  Revenues

             To more closely match  revenues and  expenses,  Indiana Gas records
             revenues for all gas  delivered to customers  but not billed at the
             end of the accounting period.

             F.  Gas in Underground Storage

             Gas in underground  storage at September 30, 1999, was $9.5 million
             compared to $19.4 million at September  30, 1998.  This decrease is
             the result of the  replacement  of contract  storage with increased
             delivery services.

             Based on the average cost of purchased gas during  September  1999,
             the cost of  replacing  the current  portion of gas in  underground
             storage exceeded last-in,  first-out cost at September 30, 1999, by
             approximately $4.5 million.

             G.  Refundable or Recoverable Gas Cost

             The cost of gas purchased and refunds from suppliers,  which differ
             from amounts  recovered  through rates,  are deferred and are being
             recovered or refunded in accordance with procedures approved by the
             IURC.

             H.  Allowance For Funds Used During Construction

             An  allowance  for funds used during  construction  (AFUDC),  which
             represents   the  cost  of  borrowed  and  equity  funds  used  for
             construction  purposes, is charged to construction work in progress
             during the period of construction  and included in "Other - net" on
             the Consolidated  Statements of Income. An annual AFUDC rate of 6.0
             percent  was used for 1999 and 1998,  while an  annual  rate of 7.5
             percent was used for 1997.

             The table  below  reflects  the  total  AFUDC  capitalized  and the
             portion of which was  computed on borrowed and equity funds for all
             periods reported.

                                          -----         -----       ------

             I.  Use of Estimates

             The   preparation  of  financial   statements  in  conformity  with
             generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to
             make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of
             assets and  liabilities  and  disclosure of  contingent  assets and
             liabilities  at  the  date  of the  financial  statements  and  the
             reported  amounts of revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting
             period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

             J.  Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

             Indiana Gas is subject to the  provisions of Statement of Financial
             Accounting  Standards No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain
             Types of Regulation (SFAS 71). Regulatory assets represent probable
             future revenue to Indiana Gas  associated  with certain costs which
             will be recovered  from customers  through the ratemaking  process.
             Regulatory  liabilities  represent  probable  future  reductions in
             revenues  associated  with  amounts  that  are  to be  credited  to
             customers  through the ratemaking  process.  Regulatory  assets and
             liabilities  reflected  in the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet  as of
             September 30 (in thousands) relate to the following:

                                                               -------     -------

                                                               -------     -------
</TABLE>

             Of the above September 30, 1999 balances, $3.4 million is earning a
             return,  which is comprised of Amounts due from  customers - income
             taxes, net and Deferred acquisition costs.

             The remaining net assets of $0.3 million, while consisting of items
             included  in rates but not  earning a return,  are being  recovered
             over varying periods.  Postretirement  benefits other than pensions
             will be fully recovered over less than one year.  Unamortized  debt
             discount  and expense  will be  recovered  as discussed in Note 1C.
             Refundable gas costs will be refunded as discussed in Note 1G.

             It is Indiana Gas' policy to continually  assess the recoverability
             of  costs  recognized  as  regulatory  assets  and the  ability  to
             continue to account for its activities in accordance  with SFAS 71,
             based  on the  criteria  set  forth in SFAS  71.  Based on  current
             regulation, Indiana Gas believes such accounting is appropriate. If
             all or part of Indiana Gas'  operations  cease to meet the criteria
             of  SFAS  71,  a  write-off  of  related   regulatory   assets  and
             liabilities  would be required.  In addition,  Indiana Gas would be
             required to  determine  any  impairment  to the  carrying  costs of
             deregulated plant and inventory assets.

             K.  Reclassifications

             Certain reclassifications have been made in the company's financial
             statements   of  prior  years  to  conform  to  the  current   year
             presentation.  These reclassifications have no impact on previously
             reported net income.

             2. Agreement to Merge with SIGCORP, Inc.

             On June 14,  1999,  Indiana  Energy  and  SIGCORP,  Inc.  (SIGCORP)
             jointly announced the signing of a definitive  agreement to combine
             into a new holding  company  named Vectren  Corporation  (Vectren).
             SIGCORP is an investor-owned energy and telecommunications  company
             that through its subsidiaries  provides electric and gas service to
             southwest  Indiana and energy and  telecommunication  products  and
             services throughout the Midwest and elsewhere.

             Under the agreement,  Indiana Energy  shareholders will receive one
             share of Vectren common stock for each share of Indiana Energy held
             at the closing date. SIGCORP shareholders will receive 1.333 shares
             of  Vectren  common  stock for each  share of  SIGCORP  held at the
             closing  date.  The  transaction,  which has been  approved  by the
             boards of directors of both companies,  is intended to be accounted
             for as a pooling of interests.  The transaction is also intended to
             be a tax-free exchange of shares.

             Indiana Gas Company,  Inc.  and  Southern  Indiana Gas and Electric
             Company,  Indiana Energy's and SIGCORP's  utility  companies,  will
             operate as subsidiaries of Vectren.

             The merger is conditioned,  among other things,  upon the approvals
             of the  shareholders  of  each  company  and  customary  regulatory
             approvals.  The companies  anticipate that the regulatory processes
             can be completed in the first quarter of calendar 2000. Transaction
             and related  costs  incurred  through  September 30, 1999 were $2.7
             million and have been deferred.


             3. Corporate Restructuring

             In April 1997, the Board of Directors of Indiana Energy  approved a
             growth strategy designed to support the company's transition into a
             more competitive environment.

             During  1997,  the  Indiana  Gas  Board  of  Directors   authorized
             management to undertake the actions  necessary and  appropriate  to
             restructure  Indiana  Gas'  operations  and  recognize  a resulting
             restructuring charge of $39.5 million ($24.5 million after-tax) for
             fiscal 1997 as described below.

             In July 1997,  the  company  advised its  employees  of its plan to
             reduce its work force from about 1,025 full-time  employees at June
             30, 1997, to  approximately  800 employees by 2002.  The reductions
             are being implemented through involuntary separation and attrition.
             Indiana Gas recorded restructuring costs of $5.4 million during the
             fourth   quarter  of  fiscal  1997   related  to  the   involuntary
             terminations   planned  under  the  company's   specific  near-term
             employee  reduction plan, which was scheduled for completion by the
             end  of  fiscal  1999.  These  costs  include   separation  pay  in
             accordance with Indiana Gas' severance policy of $3.9 million,  and
             net curtailment  losses related to these employees'  postretirement
             and pension benefits.  As a result of initial work force reductions
             during September 1997 and primarily attrition  thereafter,  most of
             the reductions  contemplated during the two year period and accrued
             originally have been achieved.  During the second quarter of fiscal
             1999,  the  company  reviewed  its  remaining  accruals  for  costs
             associated with the involuntary work force reductions.  Taking into
             consideration an unexpectedly high level of voluntary terminations,
             the company determined that no additional  significant  involuntary
             work force reductions were likely to occur.  Prior to September 30,
             1998,  $2.2 million of  involuntary  termination  benefits had been
             paid.  As a result,  the  severance  accrual  and  other  operating
             expenses were reduced by $1.7 million during fiscal year 1999.

             Indiana  Gas'  management  also  committed  to  sell,   abandon  or
             otherwise  dispose  of certain  assets,  including  buildings,  gas
             storage   fields  and  intangible   plant.   Indiana  Gas  recorded
             restructuring  costs of $34.1 million  during the fourth quarter of
             fiscal  1997 to  adjust  the  carrying  value  of those  assets  to
             estimated fair value.  These assets have been sold or are no longer
             in use.

             4.  Short-Term Borrowings

             Effective  in March 1999,  Indiana Gas  implemented  a $100 million
             commercial  paper program.  Indiana Gas' commercial paper is priced
             to  the  public  at a  rate  determined  by  current  money  market
             conditions.  At September  30, 1999  Indiana Gas had  approximately
             $68.6 million outstanding.

             In addition to Indiana Gas' $100 million committed facility for its
             commercial  paper  program,  Indiana Gas and Capital Corp.  have an
             aggregate  $20  million  line of credit.  At  September  30,  1999,
             Indiana  Gas  had  no  outstanding  bank  loans.  These  lines  are
             renewable  annually.  Indiana Gas and Capital Corp.  compensate the
             participating  banks with arrangements that vary from no commitment
             fees to a combination  of fees that are mutually  agreeable.  Notes
             payable to banks bore interest at rates  negotiated  with the banks
             at the time of  borrowing.  Indiana  Gas'  Board of  Directors  has
             authorized short-term borrowings of up to $150 million.

             Commercial  paper and bank loans  outstanding  during the  reported
             periods were as follows:

             5.  Long-Term Debt

             In July 1999, Indiana Gas retired $10 million of 8.90% Notes.

             In July 1999,  Indiana Gas filed a registration  statement with the
             Securities and Exchange  Commission with respect to $100 million in
             debt securities. Indiana Gas expects to issue this debt pursuant to
             a medium  term  note  program,  denominated  as  Series  G. The net
             proceeds  from the sale of these new debt  securities  will be used
             for general corporate  purposes,  including  repayment of long term
             debt and financing of Indiana Gas' continuing construction program.

             On October 5, 1999,  Indiana  Gas issued $30  million in  principal
             amount of Series G Medium  Term Notes  bearing  interest at the per
             annum rate of 7.08% with a maturity date of October 5, 2029.

             Consolidated  maturities and sinking fund requirements on long-term
             debt  subject  to  mandatory   redemption  during  the  five  years
             following 1999 are (in millions) $3.25 in 2002,  $18.25 in 2003 and
             $3.25 in 2004.

             Provisions  under which  certain of Indiana Gas' Series E, Series F
             and Series G Medium Term Notes were  issued  entitle the holders of
             $137  million of these notes to put the debt back to Indiana Gas at
             face value at certain specified dates before maturity  beginning in
             2000.  Long-term  debt (in millions)  subject to the put provisions
             during the five years following 1999 totals $5.0 in 2000,  $11.5 in
             2002 and $3.5 in 2004.

             6.  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

             The estimated  fair values of the company's  financial  instruments
             were as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>


                                                         September 30, 1999              September 30, 1998
                                                         -------------------            -------------------
                                                     Carrying           Fair         Carrying        Fair
             Thousands                                 Amount          Value           Amount        Value
             ---------                                 ------         -------         -------       ------
<S>                                                  <C>             <C>            <C>            <C>
             Cash and cash equivalents               $     14        $     14       $     742      $     742
             Notes payable                          $  68,621       $  68,621       $  33,705      $  33,705
             Long-term debt (includes
               amounts due within one year)          $181,849        $174,358        $191,975       $208,870
</TABLE>


             Certain methods and  assumptions  must be used to estimate the fair
             value of financial  instruments.  Because of the short  maturity of
             cash and cash  equivalents and notes payable,  the carrying amounts
             approximate fair values for these financial  instruments.  The fair
             value of the company's  long-term  debt was estimated  based on the
             quoted  market  prices  for the same or  similar  issues  or on the
             current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining
             maturities.

             Under current regulatory treatment,  call premiums on reacquisition
             of long-term  debt are generally  recovered in customer  rates over
             the life of the refunding  issue or over a 15-year period (see Note
             1C). Accordingly, any reacquisition would not be expected to have a
             material effect on the company's  financial  position or results of
             operations.

             7.  Capital Stock

             Indiana Gas has 16 million shares of authorized no par value common
             stock.

             Indiana  Gas  has 4  million  shares  of  authorized  and  unissued
             preferred stock.

             8.  Retirement Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits

             Indiana Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries have multiple defined benefit
             pension and other  postretirement  benefit  plans.  The  nonpension
             plans include plans for health care and life insurance.  All of the
             plans are  non-contributory  with the  exception of the health care
             plan  which  contains  cost-sharing  provisions  whereby  employees
             retiring after January 1, 1996, are required to make  contributions
             to the plan when  increases  in the  companies'  health  care costs
             exceed the general rate of  inflation,  as measured by the Consumer
             Price Index (CPI). Indiana Gas is a participating  company in those
             plans and all amounts disclosed below relate solely to Indiana Gas.

             The IURC has authorized Indiana Gas to recover the costs related to
             postretirement  benefits  other  than  pensions  under the  accrual
             method  of  accounting   consistent  with  Statement  of  Financial
             Accounting   Standards   No.   106,   Employers'   Accounting   for
             Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.  Amounts accrued prior
             to that  authorization were deferred as allowed by the IURC and are
             currently being amortized.

             Net periodic  benefit  cost,  excluding the 1997  curtailment  loss
             related to the postretirement health care and life insurance plans,
             consisted of the following components:

             The assumed  health care cost trend rate for medical gross eligible
             charges used in measuring the postretirement benefit obligation for
             the health care plan as of September 30, 1999,  was 6.5 percent for
             fiscal  2000.  This rate is assumed to decrease  gradually  through
             fiscal 2004 to 5.0 percent and remain at that level thereafter.

             A 1 percent  change in the assumed health care cost trend rates for

             years. There are no leases that extend beyond 2036. Indiana Gas has
             storage and supply contracts that extend up to 6 years. Total lease
             expense was $2.2 in 1999, $1.0 in 1998 and $2.2 in 1997.

             The recording of  restructuring  costs of $39.5 million in 1997 had
             the  effect  of   decreasing   deferred   income  tax   expense  by
             approximately $15.0 million.

             Effective  income tax rates were 35.08  percent,  36.18 percent and
             34.65   percent  of  pretax   income  for  1999,   1998  and  1997,
             respectively.  This  compares  with a  combined  federal  and state
             income tax statutory rate of 37.93 percent for all years  reported.
             Individual   components   of  these  rate   differences   were  not
             significant  except  investment tax credit which amounted to (1.9%)
             in 1999, (1.9%) in 1998 and (4.5%) in 1997.

             As required by the IURC,  Indiana Gas uses a  normalized  method of
             accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes reflect
             the net tax effect of  temporary  differences  between the carrying
             amounts of assets and liabilities for financial  reporting purposes
             and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred income taxes
             are  provided for taxes not  currently  payable due to, among other
             things,  the  use  of  various  accelerated  depreciation  methods,
             shorter depreciable lives and the deduction of certain construction
             costs for tax  purposes.  Taxes  deferred  in prior years are being
             charged and income  credited as these tax effects  reverse over the
             lives of the related assets.

             Significant  components  of Indiana Gas' net deferred tax liability
             as of September 30, 1999, and 1998, are as follows:

             Investment tax credits have been deferred and are being credited to
             income over the life of the property giving rise to the credit. The
             Tax  Reform  Act of 1986  eliminated  investment  tax  credits  for
             property acquired after January 1, 1986.

             11.  Environmental Costs

             In the past,  Indiana Gas and others,  including former affiliates,
             and/or   previous   landowners,   operated   facilities   for   the
             manufacturing  of  gas  and  storage  of  manufactured  gas.  These
             facilities  are no longer in operation  and have not been  operated
             for many years. Under currently  applicable  environmental laws and
             regulations,  Indiana Gas,  and the others,  may now be required to
             take  remedial  action if  certain  byproducts  are  found  above a
             regulatory threshold at these sites.

             Indiana Gas has  identified  the  existence,  location  and certain
             general  characteristics of 26 gas manufacturing and storage sites.
             Based upon the site work  completed  to date,  Indiana Gas believes
             that a level  of  contamination  that  may  require  some  level of
             remedial activity may be present at a number of the sites.  Removal
             activities  have been  conducted  at  several  sites and a remedial
             investigation/feasibility  study (RI/FS) has been  completed at one
             of the sites  under an agreed  order  between  Indiana  Gas and the
             Indiana  Department  of  Environmental  Management  (IDEM),  with a
             Record of Decision  (ROD)  expected to be issued by IDEM by the end
             of calendar year 1999.  Although Indiana Gas has not begun an RI/FS
             at additional sites, Indiana Gas has submitted several of the sites
             to IDEM's  Voluntary  Remediation  Program  (VRP) and is  currently
             conducting some level of remedial activities including  groundwater
             monitoring  at certain  sites  where  deemed  appropriate  and will
             continue  remedial  activities  at the  sites  as  appropriate  and
             necessary.

             Based upon the work  performed  to date,  Indiana  Gas has  accrued
             investigation,  remediation,  groundwater  monitoring  and  related
             costs for the sites.  Estimated costs of certain  remedial  actions
             that  may  likely  be  required  have  also  been  accrued.   Costs
             associated with environmental  remedial activities are accrued when
             such costs are probable and reasonably estimable.  Indiana Gas does
             not believe it can provide an estimate of the  reasonably  possible
             total  remediation  costs for any site  prior to  completion  of an
             RI/FS  and  the  development  of  some  sense  of  the  timing  for
             implementation  of the site specific remedial  alternative,  to the
             extent such remediation is required.  Accordingly,  the total costs
             which may be incurred in  connection  with the  remediation  of all
             sites, to the extent remediation is necessary, cannot be determined
             at this time.

             Indiana Gas has been  seeking to recover the costs it has  incurred
             and  expects  to  incur  relating  to the 26 sites  from  insurance
             carriers and other potentially responsible parties (PRPs). The IURC
             has determined  that these costs are not  recoverable  from utility
             customers.

             Indiana Gas has completed the process of  identifying  PRPs and now
             has PRP  agreements  in  place  covering  19 of the 26  sites.  The
             agreements  provide  for  coordination  of efforts  and  sharing of
             investigation and clean-up costs incurred and to be incurred at the
             sites. PSI Energy, Inc. is a PRP on all 19 sites.  Northern Indiana
             Public  Service  Company  is a PRP  on 5 of  the  19  sites.  These
             agreements  limit  Indiana  Gas' share of past and future  response
             costs at these 19 sites to between 20 and 50 percent.  Based on the
             agreements,  Indiana Gas has  recorded a  receivable  from PRPs for
             their unpaid share of the liability  for work  performed by Indiana
             Gas to date, as well as accrued Indiana Gas' proportionate share of
             the estimated cost related to work not yet performed.

             Indiana  Gas has  filed a  complaint  in  Indiana  state  court  to
             continue its pursuit of  insurance  coverage  from three  insurance
             carriers,  with the trial scheduled for early 2000. As of September
             30, 1999, Indiana Gas has recorded settlements from other insurance
             carriers in an aggregate  amount of  approximately  $15.5  million.
             Subsequent  to September  30, 1999,  an agreement in principle  has
             been reached with one of these insurers.

             These environmental matters have had no material impact on earnings
             since costs  recorded  to date  approximate  insurance  settlements
             received.  While  Indiana  Gas has  recorded  all  costs  which  it
             presently   expects  to  incur  in  connection   with   remediation
             activities,  it is  possible  that future  events may require  some
             level of  additional  remedial  activities  which are not presently
             foreseen.

             12.  Affiliate Transactions

             ProLiance  Energy,  LLC  (ProLiance),   a  non-regulated  marketing
             affiliate of Indiana Energy, began providing natural gas supply and
             related  services to Indiana Gas effective  April 1, 1996.  Indiana
             Gas' purchases  from  ProLiance for resale and for injections  into
             storage for 1999,  1998 and 1997  totaled  $231.9  million,  $269.2
             million and $306.1 million, respectively.

             The sale of gas and  provision of other  services to Indiana Gas by
             Indiana  Energy's  marketing  affiliates  are subject to regulatory
             review  through  the  quarterly  gas  cost  adjustment   proceeding
             currently pending before the IURC.

             On September 12, 1997, the Indiana  Utility  Regulatory  Commission
             (IURC)  issued a decision  finding  the gas  supply  and  portfolio
             administration  agreements  between  ProLiance  and Indiana Gas and
             ProLiance  and  Citizens  Gas (the  gas  supply  agreements)  to be
             consistent with the public interest.  The IURC's decision reflected
             the  significant   gas  cost  savings  to  customers   obtained  by
             ProLiance's  services and suggested that all material provisions of
             the agreements  between ProLiance and the utilities are reasonable.
             Nevertheless,   with  respect  to  the  pricing  of  gas  commodity
             purchased  from  ProLiance  and two other pricing  terms,  the IURC
             concluded that additional findings in the gas cost adjustment (GCA)
             process  would be  appropriate  and directed  that these matters be
             considered  further in the  pending,  consolidated  GCA  proceeding
             involving  Indiana  Gas and  Citizens  Gas.  The  IURC  has not yet
             established a schedule for conducting these additional proceedings.

             The IURC's September 12, 1997, decision was appealed to the Indiana
             Court of Appeals  by  certain  Petitioners  including  the  Indiana
             Office of Utility Consumer Counselor, the Citizens Action Coalition
             of Indiana and a small group of large-volume  customers. On October
             8,  1998,  the  Indiana  Court of Appeals  issued a decision  which
             reversed and remanded the case to the IURC with  instructions  that
             the  gas  supply  agreements  be  disapproved.  The  basis  for the
             decision  was that  because the gas supply  agreements  provide for
             index  based  pricing of gas  commodity  sold by  ProLiance  to the
             utilities,  the gas supply  agreements should have been the subject
             of an application  for approval of an alternative  regulatory  plan
             under Indiana statutory law.

             On April 22, 1999, the Indiana Supreme Court granted a petition for
             transfer of the case and will now consider the appeal of the IURC's
             decision  and issue its own decision on the merits of the appeal at
             a later date. By granting  transfer,  the Supreme Court has vacated
             the Court of Appeals' decision.

             If the Supreme Court  reverses the IURC's  decision , the case will
             be  remanded  to the IURC for  further  proceedings  regarding  the
             public interest in the gas supply agreements.  If the Supreme Court
             affirms the IURC's decision,  the  reasonableness of certain of the
             gas costs  incurred by Indiana Gas under the gas supply  agreements
             will  be  further  reviewed  by the  IURC in the  consolidated  GCA
             proceeding.  The existence of significant benefits to the utilities
             and their  customers  resulting from  ProLiance's  services has not
             been  challenged  on appeal.  Indiana Gas is  continuing to utilize
             ProLiance for its gas supply.

             On or  about  August  11,  1998,  Indiana  Gas,  Citizens  Gas  and
             ProLiance each received a Civil  Investigative  Demand ("CID") from
             the United  States  Department  of Justice  requesting  information
             relating to Indiana Gas' and Citizens  Gas'  relationship  with and
             the  activities of ProLiance.  The Department of Justice issued the
             CID to  gather  information  regarding  ProLiance's  formation  and
             operations,  and  to  determine  if  trade  or  commerce  has  been
             restrained. Indiana Gas and ProLiance have provided all information
             requested  and  management  continues  to believe that there are no
             significant issues in this matter.

             While the results of the ProLiance issues mentioned above cannot be
             predicted,  management  does not  expect  these  matters  to have a
             material  impact on Indiana Gas'  financial  position or results of
             operations. However, no assurance can be provided.

             CIGMA,  LLC,  owned  jointly and equally by IGC  Energy,  Inc.,  an
             indirect wholly owned  subsidiary of Indiana  Energy,  and Citizens
             By-Products  Coal  Company,  a wholly owned  subsidiary of Citizens
             Gas, provides  materials  acquisition and related services that are
             used by Indiana  Gas.  Indiana  Gas'  purchases  of these  services
             during  1999 and 1998  totaled  $16.9  million  and $15.6  million,
             respectively.

             IEI Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Indiana Energy, provides
             information technology,  financial,  human resources,  building and
             fleet  services.  Amounts billed by IEI Services to Indiana Gas for
             1999 and 1998 were $30.4 million and $26.7 million, respectively.

             Indiana Gas also  participates  in a  centralized  cash  management
             program  with its  parent,  affiliated  companies  and banks  which
             permits funding of checks as they are presented.

             Amounts owed to affiliates  totaled $20.0 million and $15.0 million
             at September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  and are included in
             Accounts Payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

             Amounts due from  affiliates  totaled $1.0 million and $5.4 million
             at September 30, 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  and are included in
             Accounts Receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

             13.  New Accounting Standards

             For  fiscal  1999,  the  company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
             Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of
             an Enterprise and Related Information.  This statement  establishes
             standards  for the way that  public  companies  report  information
             about  operating  segments  in  annual  financial   statements  and
             requires that those  companies  report selected  information  about
             operating  segments in annual and interim  financial reports issued
             to shareholders. Indiana Gas has no reportable segments.

             In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  Accounting  for
             Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities.   The  statement
             establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every
             derivative  instrument,  including certain  derivative  instruments
             embedded in other  contracts,  be recorded in the balance  sheet as
             either  an asset or  liability  measured  at its  fair  value.  The
             statement  requires that changes in the derivative's  fair value be
             recognized  currently in earnings unless specific hedge  accounting
             criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a
             derivative's  gains and  losses to offset  related  results  on the
             hedged item in the income  statement,  and requires  that a company
             must formally document,  designate, and assess the effectiveness of
             transactions that receive hedge accounting.  In June 1999, the FASB
             issued  SFAS 137,  which  defers  the  effective  date of SFAS 133.
             ProLiance  utilizes   derivative   instruments  to  manage  pricing
             decisions,  minimize  the risk of price  volatility,  and  minimize
             price  risk  exposure  in  the  energy  markets.  SFAS  133  is now
             effective  for  ProLiance  in fiscal  2001.  ProLiance  has not yet
             quantified  the impact of adopting this  statement on its financial
             position or results of operations.

             periods within fiscal years are not comparable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS ON SCHEDULES

To Indiana Gas Company, Inc.:

         We  have  audited  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards,  the consolidated  financial  statements  included in Item 8, in this
Form 10-K,  and have issued our report thereon dated October 29, 1999. Our audit
was made for the  purpose of forming an opinion on those  statements  taken as a
whole.  The  schedules  listed in Item  14(a)-2  are the  responsibility  of the
company's  management  and are  presented  for  purposes of  complying  with the
Securities  and  Exchange  Commission's  rules  and  are not  part of the  basic
financial  statements.  These  schedules  have been  subjected  to the  auditing
procedures  applied in the audit of the basic  financial  statements and, in our
opinion, fairly state in all material respects the financial data required to be
set forth  therein in  relation  to the basic  financial  statements  taken as a
whole.

II.  Transportation Credit
  1. Seller shall provide to Buyer, as a credit against the
Contract Rates, a Transportation Credit ("TC") for the sale
from the Buyer to Seller of projected available annual
portfolio entitlements.
  2. The Transportation Credit shall be calculated from time
to time to reflect changes in projected available annual
entitlements, based on the following formula:

  TC = Base TC x Projected Available Annual Entitlements
                   Base Available Annual Entitlements

  Where:  a.   Base TC = $1,864,290
          b.   Base Available Annual Entitlements =
35,843,831 Dth
          c.   Projected Available Annual Entitlements =
            Total Entitlements - Normal Demand
            (i)  Total Entitlements are the sum of the quantities of
               entitlements historically supplied by longhaul pipeline
               transportation entitlements reserved by Buyer.
            (ii) Normal Demand is the projected normal weather quantity
               of entitlements historically supplied by firm longhaul
               pipeline deliveries for firm customers.

  3.  The TC shall be divided among months based upon the
projected available monthly entitlements.
Amendment
     Seller and Buyer agree that this Appendix C may be
amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the
Parties, which ultimately will be memorialized in a revised
Appendix C.

               Appendix E- Commodity Purchases

     This Appendix E addresses the gas supply and other
variable costs applicable to Nominated Daily Quantities and
Balancing Quantities as identified below.
For Monthly Baseload Purchases:
     Buyer shall pay to Seller each Contract Month an amount
determined by multiplying the monthly baseload quantities of
Gas scheduled for Buyer's purchase under this Agreement
during the Contract Month, by a price per MMBtu determined
using the first monthly index from Inside FERC's GAS MARKET
REPORT, in the table "PRICES OF SPOT GAS DELIVERED TO
INTERSTATE PIPELINES" for the applicable zone, specified
below, for the applicable month, plus all other applicable
variable costs as identified below shall apply.
For Daily Swing Purchases:
     Buyer shall pay to Seller each Contract Month an amount
determined by summing all applicable "Daily Amounts" for the
Contract Month.  A "Daily Amount" shall be calculated for
each day during the Contract Month for which daily swing
quantities of Gas have been confirmed for purchase.  The
"Daily Amounts" shall be determined by multiplying (a) the
confirmed swing quantities of gas scheduled for the
particular day of the Contract Month, by (b) a price per
MMBtu determined using the Daily Midpoint Price reported in
Gas Daily, in the table "DAILY PRICE SURVEY", for the
applicable zone, specified below, for purchases for the
applicable day.   As to any day for which Gas Daily for any
reason (e.g. holidays and weekends) does not publish the
above referenced prices, the applicable prices shall be that
utilized for the last prior day such is published.   In
addition all other applicable variable costs as identified
below shall apply.
For Other Purchases:
     For any purchases not covered by a specified pricing
method, or for fixed price quantities, pricing shall be as
negotiated and mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties.
For Summer Storage Refill:
     For summer refill of leased storage, Buyer shall pay to
Seller an amount based on averaging the seven summer monthly
indices for the applicable supply area, and based upon
presuming storage refill quantities to be equally split
between the summer months.  For summer refill of company
storage, the parties will agree on the extent to which an
index average method will be used, after consideration of
the operational scheduling needs of company storage.  In
addition, all other applicable variable costs as identified
below shall apply.
               Appendix E- Commodity Purchases

For Storage Withdrawals:
     For quantities of storage withdrawals for which Buyer
has previously paid for commodity, applicable storage
withdrawal variable costs as identified below shall apply.

See Item 4a which is incorporated by reference into this Item 10 for information
concerning executive officers.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION


Non-employee  directors of the Company and of Indiana Gas or Investments receive
combined  fees  totaling  $21,000  per year for  service  on the boards of these
companies.  The fees are paid under the Directors Restricted Stock Plan approved
by the shareholders at their January 13, 1992,  meeting.  Under the plan, $7,000
of  the  combined  directors'  fees  paid  by the  Company  and  Indiana  Gas or
Investments to non-employee directors is in the form of restricted shares of the
Company.  The restricted shares are issued to each non-employee  director at the
beginning  of their  three-year  term,  and the number of  restricted  shares is
determined  by dividing  $21,000  ($7,000 for each year) by the per share market
price of the Company's stock during the period specified in the plan. To receive
the restricted  shares,  a director must consent to the restrictions in writing.
Directors may elect to receive the remaining  $14,000 in unrestricted  shares or
in cash.  To elect to receive  unrestricted  shares  instead of cash, a director
must provide an  irrevocable  written  election to the  secretary of the Company
before  the  beginning  of the  calendar  year for which the  election  relates.
Moreover,  if during  the  calendar  year a  non-employee  is  elected to fill a
vacancy  in the  board of  directors,  under the plan,  a one time  election  is
permitted to allow the director to receive the balance of that  calendar  year's
compensation in unrestricted shares.

Restricted shares may not be sold, transferred,  pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated  or  hypothecated,  other than by will or by the laws of  descent  and
distribution  until the first to occur of: (1) the  expiration of the director's
term of  office  for  which  the  grant  relates;  (2) the  grantee's  death  or
disability;  (3) the termination of the grantee's status as a director  pursuant
to  the  mandatory   retirement  policy  for  directors;   (4)  the  involuntary
termination of the grantee's status as a director; (5) approval by a majority of
the other directors of the grantee's voluntary  termination of his/her status as
a director  because of the  relocation of his/her  principal  place of residence
outside of  Indiana;  or (6) a change in control  of the  Company.  In no event,
however,  are the restricted shares transferable and free of restrictions before
the expiration of a six-month  period  beginning the first day of the director's
term of office or, if later, the date of issuance of the shares.

All  restricted  shares bear a legend citing the  restrictions  contained in the
plan. When the  restrictions  lapse,  the grantee is entitled to have the legend
removed from any shares or certificates.  Restrictions are lifted  automatically
upon the  expiration  of the  period to which  the  restrictions  apply.  On the
completion of the merger, as discussed in Note 2, restrictions on shares granted
under the Directors  Restricted Stock Plans will lift. If a director voluntarily
terminates  his/her  status  as such  before  the  expiration  of the  period of
restriction, any shares still subject to restriction are immediately forfeited.

The Company has reserved 85,919 shares for grant under the plan. As of September
30,  1999,  54,994  shares  remain in  reserve.  Those  shares  may  consist  of
authorized but unissued  shares or shares  reacquired by the Company,  including
shares  purchased  in the open market.  If any shares  subject to the grants are
forfeited, the forfeited shares become available for reissuance under the plan.

The  board  may  amend,  modify,  alter  or  terminate  the  plan  at any  time.
Amendments, modifications or alterations which would: (1) increase the number of
shares reserved for issuance under the plan, (2) materially  modify the class of
individuals  to whom  grants of shares may be made,  (3)  materially  modify the
manner in which  shares are  granted,  or (4)  materially  increase the benefits
accruing  to  grantees  under  the  plan,  must  be  approved  by the  Company's
shareholders.

Non-employee directors also receive a fee of $500 for each Company board meeting
attended and $500 for each board meeting of Indiana Gas or Investments attended.
Each non-employee member of a committee of the board is paid a fee of $1,000 for
each  meeting  of the  committee  attended,  and  each  non-employee  chair of a
committee  is paid a retainer of $3,000 and an  additional  fee of $500 for each
meeting attended.

There is a unfunded plan under which non-employee directors may defer all or any
part of fees  received  in cash  until  the  occurrence  of  certain  conditions
specified in the plan.  Under the plan, which has been in place since January 1,
1999, at the election of the  participant,  amounts  deferred are considered for
accounting  purposes  to be  invested  in  one  of  several  measurement  funds,
including  a company  phantom  stock fund,  with  returns  measured  pursuant to
formulas specified in the plan.  Currently,  the investment funds are consistent
with the investment funds available under the company's retirement savings plan.
This plan  replaced a deferred  compensation  plan that had been in effect since
fiscal year 1995.

</TABLE>


(1)  The amounts shown in this column are payments  under the Annual  Management
     Incentive  Plan.  Amounts paid in any fiscal year are  attributable  to the
     Company's  performance in the prior fiscal year. The following payments (in
     thousands)  were  earned in fiscal year 1999 and have been  determined  and
     approved for  distribution by the Company's  compensation  committee:  L.A.
     Ferger ($ 227);N. C. Ellerbrook  ($204);  Paul T. Baker ($ 123); Anthony E.
     Ard ($ 77);  Timothy M. Hewitt ($ 56) and,  Carl L. Chapman ($ 120).  These
     payments will be shown in next year's summary compensation tables as fiscal
     year 2000 Bonus. With the exception of the Chief Executive  Officer,  these
     payments were determined based upon the company's financial  performance as
     determined by the consolidated return on equity relative to a peer group of
     companies,  and, with the  exception of the Chief  Executive  Officer,  the
     achievement of individual performance objectives.

(2)  The amounts  shown in this column are dividends  paid on restricted  shares
     issued under the Stock Plan relating to "Long-Term Incentive Compensation".

(3)  The amounts shown in this column represent the value of shares issued under
     the Executive Restricted Stock Plan (Stock Plan) and for which restrictions
     were lifted in each of those fiscal years. For instance,  the amounts shown
     for  fiscal  year  1997  represent  the  value of  one-third  of the  Third
     Measuring Period shares,  including the performance grant, issued under the
     Stock Plan and for which restrictions were lifted as of September 30, 1997.
     For fiscal year 1998, in contemplation  of additional  changes to the Stock
     Plan,  the board of  directors  approved an  amendment to the Stock Plan to
     postpone the lapsing of the  restrictions on shares from September 30, 1998
     until February 1, 1999.  With the exception of L. A. Ferger,  the executive
     officers  consented to the  postponement  of the lapsing of restrictions on
     their respective shares; consequently, after 1998 this column only reflects
     a value for the  issuance  of shares to Mr.  Ferger  under the Stock  Plan.
     After the  lifting of those  restrictions,  the  executive  officers,  as a
     group,  held 75,914  restricted  shares,  with an aggregate market value of
     those shares as of that date of  $1,522,835.  Those  shares  continue to be
     subject to  restrictions  imposed  by the Stock  Plan,  and they  represent
     one-third of the initial grant of the Fourth Measuring  Period shares,  and
     all of the initial  grants of the Fifth and Sixth  Measuring  Periods.  The
     number and value of  restricted  shares held by each  executive  officer on
     September 30, 1999, follows: L. A. Ferger - 31,528 shares,  $632,452;  Niel
     C.  Ellerbrook - 14,264  shares,  $286,136;  Paul T. Baker - 13,630 shares,
     $273,418;  Anthony E. Ard - 5,971  shares,  $119,778;  Timothy M.  Hewitt -
     4,484 shares, $89,949; and Carl L. Chapman - 6,037 shares, $121,102.

(4)  The  amounts  shown  in  this  column  are  Company  contributions  to  the
     Retirement Savings Plan and the dollar value of insurance premiums paid by,
     or on  behalf  of,  the  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  with  respect  to
     split-dollar life insurance for the benefit of executive officers.

(5)  Mr. Ferger  retired as Chief  Executive  Officer of the company and Indiana

</TABLE>



(1)  This column shows the  restricted  shares  awarded  during fiscal year 1999
     under the Stock  Plan.  The market  value of the shares on the dates of the
     grants is  determined  according to a formula in the Stock Plan based on an
     average price over a period of time preceding the grant. Dividends are paid
     directly  to the holders of the stock.  Included  is the  initial  grant of
     shares for the Sixth Measuring Period.

(2)  The  granting  of  additional  shares,  if  any,  and  the  application  of
     forfeiture  provisions  depends upon certain  measurements of the Company's
     total  return  to  shareholders  in  comparison  to  the  total  return  to
     shareholders of a predetermined group of comparable companies.

(3)  The Sixth Measuring Period initial grant shares,  which are included in the
     total number of shares shown in column (b) and are also set forth in column
     (e), are subject to forfeiture.  If the Company's  performance  compared to
     the peer group (peer group) during this  measuring  period places it in the
     bottom  quartile,  the  executive  officers  will forfeit all of the shares
     granted for this period. For fiscal year, 1999, companies in the peer group
     were as follows:  AGL Resources Inc.,  Atmos Energy Corp.,  Cascade Natural
     Gas Corp., CTG Resources, Inc., Eastern Enterprises, Energen Corp., Laclede
     Gas Co., MCN Energy Group,  Inc.  (formerly  MCN Corp.),  National Fuel gas
     Co.,  New Jersey  Resources  Corp.,  NICOR,  Inc.,  NW Natural,  NUI Corp.,
     Pennsylvania Enterprises,  Inc., Peoples Energy Corp., Piedmont Natural Gas
     Co.  Inc.,  Public  Service  Co.  of North  Carolina,  Inc.,  South  Jersey
     Industries,  Inc., SEMCO Energy,  Inc.,  Southern Union Co.,  Southwest Gas
     Corp.,  Southwestern  Energy Co., UGI Corp.,  Washington  Gas Light Co. and
     WICOR,  Inc.  In fiscal year 1999,  Bay State Gas Co. was removed  from the
     peer group, as it was merged out of existence. The companies to be included
     in the  peer  group  were  determined  by one of the  company's  investment
     bankers and approved by the company's Compensation Committee.

(4)  The Sixth Measuring Period initial grant shares,  which are the same as the
     total number of shares in column (b) are  presented in this column.  If the
     Company's  performance  compared to the peer group  during  this  measuring
     period places it in the middle two quartiles, these shares will vest.

(5)  Under the Stock Plan, if the Company's performance compared to the peer
     group during the Sixth Measuring Period places it in the top quartile, an
     additional performance grant equal to the original Sixth Measuring Period
     grant will be made. In that event, the shares shown in column (e) will be
     doubled.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION

The purpose of the Stock Plan is to retain and motivate the Company's  principal
officers and to increase  their  incentive to work toward the  attainment of the
Company's  long-term growth and profit objectives by providing them with a means
of acquiring or increasing their  proprietary  interests.  Under the Stock Plan,
the  compensation  committee  recommends  to the  board  of  directors,  and the
non-employee  directors  determine  the  executive  officers,  as well as  other
principal  officers,  to whom  grants  will be made and the  percentage  of each
officers  base  salary  to be used for  determining  the  number of shares to be
granted.

To be eligible for a grant,  a principal  must consent in writing to observe the
restrictions  imposed on the  shares.  The shares may not be sold,  transferred,
pledged,  or assigned until  restrictions are lifted.  For the three-year grants
that were provided under the Stock Plan through the end of fiscal year 1997, the
restrictions  are lifted in 33 1/3 percent  increments on the fourth,  fifth and
sixth anniversaries of the calendar day immediately preceding the first calendar
day of the measuring  period.  On the completion of the merger with SIGCORP,  as
discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  restrictions on
shares granted under the Stock Plan will lift.

The granting of additional shares, if any, and the application of the forfeiture
provisions,  depends upon two primary criteria:  (i) certain measurements of the
total return of the Company's  shareholders in comparison to the total return of
shareholders  of the  companies  in the  peer  group:  and  (ii)  the  continued
employment of the officer during the period of the restriction.

Effective  October 1, 1997,  the Stock Plan was  amended to provide  that grants
would be provided on an annual basis  instead of every three  years.  To reflect
the change from three-year  grants,  the percentage of the participant's  annual
salary that is used to determine the grant is no longer  subject to a multiplier
of three.  Although  grants  will still be subject to a three year total  return
performance  measuring  period,  all of the  restrictions  will be lifted on the
fourth anniversary of the calendar day immediately  preceding the first calendar
day of the measuring period applicable to that grant.


RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

During the past fiscal year, the Company sponsored the Retirement  Savings Plan,
which covers both  bargaining  and  non-bargaining  employees.  In general,  the
Savings Plan permits  participants  to elect to have not more than 19 percent of
their  qualified  compensation  (subject to certain  maximums  imposed on highly
compensated  employees by the Internal  Revenue Code) invested on a tax-deferred
basis in shares of the  Company's  Common  Stock or  various  investment  funds.
Non-bargaining   participants   in  the  Savings  Plan  have  matching   Company
contributions  made to the plan on their  behalf  equal to 100  percent of their
contributions  not  in  excess  of 6  percent  of  their  individual  redirected
compensation.

The Summary Compensation Table shows the value of contributions made to the plan
for executive officers in the column marked "All Other Compensation."

RETIREMENT PLANS

During the past fiscal  year,  the  Company  and  Indiana  Gas each  sponsored a
defined  benefit  pension plan covering  full-time  employees of the Company and
certain of its subsidiaries,  and of Indiana Gas, respectively, who meet certain
age and service  requirements.  The Company's  plan covers  salaried  employees,
including executive  officers,  and provides fixed benefits at normal retirement
age based upon compensation and length of service,  the costs of which are fully
paid by the employer and are  computed on an actuarial  basis.  The pension plan
also provides for benefits upon death,  disability  and early  retirement  under
conditions specified therein. The remuneration covered by this plan includes all
compensation  for regular work periods  (excluding  overtime,  bonuses and other
forms of additional compensation).

On January 1, 1999, this plan was converted to a cash balance pension plan which
provides  participants  the  opportunity to receive lump sum benefits in lieu of
fixed  monthly  benefits.  The amount of the lump sum benefit is based on annual
accruals which relate to the  participant's  compensation.  In order to ease the
transition  of the  plan  conversion,  the plan has  special  grandfather  rules
applicable  to  participants  at  certain  service  levels and ages to avoid any
reduction in their benefits under the plan.

During the past  fiscal  year,  the  Company  had a  supplemental  pension  plan
covering  the  principal  officers  of the  Company  and its  subsidiaries.  The
supplemental pension plan provides fixed benefits at normal retirement age based
upon  compensation  and is  computed on an  actuarial  basis.  The  supplemental
pension  plan also  provides  for  benefits  upon  death,  disability  and early
retirement under conditions specified therein,  including service  requirements.
This supplemental  pension plan also provides a reduced benefit to a participant
who voluntarily  terminates his employment with a participating  employer (which
may consist of the  Company or one or more of its  subsidiaries)  before  normal
retirement  age (65),  but  following  a change in control of the  Company.  The
remuneration  covered by the supplemental pension plan includes all compensation
for  regular  work  periods  (including  incentive  payments  and other forms of
additional compensation).

Upon retirement at or after age 65, any participant in the supplemental  pension
plan will,  in general,  be entitled to an annual  pension for life which,  when
added  to  primary  Social  Security  benefits,  defined  benefit  pension  plan
benefits,  described  above,  and  benefits  under the  Retirement  Savings Plan
attributable  to   contributions   by   participants'   employers,   will  equal
approximately 65 percent of the participant's average annual compensation during
the 60  consecutive  calendar  months  immediately  preceding the  participant's
retirement  date.  The  amounts  paid under the  supplemental  pension  plan are
unfunded and are paid from the general assets of the Company.

The following table illustrates the estimated normal annual retirement  benefits
payable  to a covered  participant  retiring  at age 65 under  the  supplemental
pension  plan  and  under  the  defined  benefit  plan  based  on the  specified
remuneration and under the Retirement Savings Plan attributable to contributions
made by the Company  and, as  pertinent,  one or more of its  subsidiaries.  The
compensation  included  in the  Summary  Compensation  Table  under  salary  and
payments under the annual  Incentive Plan qualifies as remuneration for purposes
of these plans. The amounts shown do not reflect reductions,  which would result
from joint and survivor elections.

                 500,000                          325,000

(1)  The  compensation  covered by the plans  includes the salary and  incentive
     payments shown on the Summary  Compensation Table. Years of service are not
     used in  calculating  the benefit  amount under the  Unfunded  Supplemental
     Retirement  Plan. The amounts shown above are offset by Social Security and
     benefits under the Retirement  Savings Plan  attributable to  contributions
     made by the Company and, as pertinent, one or more of its subsidiaries.

(2)  Although  the benefit  attributable  to the  Savings  Plan may be paid in a
     single lump sum payment,  it has been  converted  to an annual  benefit for
     purposes of this table. The estimated aggregate annual pension plan benefit
     may be greater than the amounts in the table to the extent that the Savings
     Plan benefit,  after  conversion to an annual benefit and when added to the
     annual  benefit under the  applicable  defined  benefit  plan,  exceeds the
     amount  specified  in the table.  Since the  Savings  Plan has only been in
     effect  for a few  years,  it is  unlikely  in the  near  future  that  the
     aggregated  Savings Plan benefit and defined  benefit  plan  benefits  will
     exceed the amount specified in the table.

EMPLOYMENT AND TERMINATION BENEFITS AGREEMENTS

The Company,  with  approval of the board of  directors,  has entered into three
year  employment  agreements  with the executive  officers listed in the Summary
Compensation  Table.  Each agreement  continues  unless notice of termination is
given be either party, in which event the agreement will terminate approximately
three years from the date of notice.  The period between notice and  termination
is defined as an  "employment  period"  under each  agreement.  Each  officer is
entitled  to  compensation  consisting  of the annual  aggregate  base salary or
salaries,  and such additional  compensation as the board determines  throughout
the  employment  period.  Each  agreement is also subject to  termination in the
event of  disability,  death,  or voluntary  retirement by the individual or his
termination for cause.

There is also additional  termination  benefits payable to the executives in the
event of their termination for reasons other than disability,  death,  voluntary
retirement or  termination  for cause.  These  termination  benefits are payable
under the following  conditions if the  employment of an executive is terminated
during the employment period:

             The Company  terminates  the  employment  of the  executive for any
             reason (other than for cause, death, the executive's  attainment of
             age 65, or the executive's disability): or

             The executive  voluntary  terminates his employment for good reason
             (as defined below): or

             The executive voluntarily  terminates his employment without reason
             during  the  thirty  day  period  immediately  following  the first
             anniversary of an acquisition of control of the Company.

For purposes of the  employment  agreements,  the term "good  reason"  before an
acquisition of control means a material  breach of the  employment  agreement by
the Company.  After an acquisition of control,  the term "good reason" means any
material change in the terms of the executive's employment with the Company.

The  benefits  payable  to the  executive  upon  the  early  termination  of the
employment  period include a lump sum payment of the remaining salary payable to
the executive if he continued his  employment for the duration of the employment
period,  a minimum  bonus or  bonuses  (determined  based on his  highest  bonus
payable to the executive during the immediately  preceding three years) for each
of the years,  or portion  thereof,  remaining in the employment  period and the
actuarial  equivalent of any benefits  which will not be earned by the executive
as a result of his termination  before the completion of the employment  period,
including benefits under nonqualified retirement and welfare plans maintained by
the Company. In addition, any restricted stock held by the executive will become
fully vested. Finally to the extent that payment of the benefits would result in
an excise tax  payable  by the  executive  under  Section  280G of the  Internal
Revenue Code,  the Company will make an  additional  payment to the executive to
offset completely the effect of the excise tax.

The  benefits  described  above apply to all  executive  officers  listed in the
Summary  Compensation  Table other than Timothy M. Hewitt. Mr. Hewitt's benefits
are predicated upon a 24 month  employment  period versus a 36 month period.  In
addition, Mr. Hewitt is not entitled to the gross-up payment, if applicable, for
any excise tax payable under the Internal revenue Code Section 280G.



Item 12.      Securities Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The  Company  has one  class of  capital  stock  outstanding,  consisting  as of
November 30, 1999, of 29,804,590  shares of Common Stock without par value.  The
number  of  shares  contained  in  this  report  reflects  adjustments  for  the
four-for-three stock split, which was approved by the board of directors on July
31,  1998,  and  became  effective  on  October  2,  1998.  The  holders  of the
outstanding  shares of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held
of record on each matter presented to a vote of the shareholders.

In  connection  with the  Company's  acquisition  of  Richmond  Gas  Corporation
("Richmond") and Terre Haute Gas Corporation  ("Terre Haute"),  shares of Common
Stock of the Company  were issued to certain  members of the Anton  Hulman,  Jr.
family, certain corporations  controlled by them, certain trusts established for
their benefit and certain other persons with personal or business  relationships
with the family  (collectively,  the "Hulman Interests").  At November 30, 1999,
the Hulman Interests  beneficially owned an aggregate of 3,615,603 shares of the
Company,  which  comprised  12.13  percent of the Company's  outstanding  Common
Stock.  At November 30, 1999, the following  beneficial  owners held more than 5
percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company, the only class of voting
securities outstanding:

                                                              Nature of
 Title of     Name and Address of        Number of Shares   Beneficial   Percent

           Terre Haute, Indiana 47807



As a result of the  attribution  to certain  persons of shares  held by Hulman &
Company, the following persons are deemed to be beneficial owners of more than 5
percent of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company:

The number of shares  held  beneficially  by Mari H.  George,  Anton H.  George,
Katherine  M.  George,  Nancy L. George and M.  Josephine  George each  includes
2,113,247  shares  held by Hulman & Company as to which  each,  as a director of
Hulman & Company,  may be deemed to share voting power and investment power. The
number of shares  held  beneficially  by Mari H. George and Anton H. George each
includes   289,864   shares  held  by   Rose-Hulman   Institute  of   Technology
("Rose-Hulman")  as to which  Anton H.  George,  as a member  of the  Investment
Management  Committee of the Board of Trustees of  Rose-Hulman,  and as to which
Mari H.  George,  as a member of the Board of  Trustees,  may be deemed to share
voting power and investment  power,  and as to which each  disclaims  beneficial
ownership. Laura L. George is the wife of Anton H. George, and the shares listed
for her are those  beneficially  owned by Mr. George.  Laura L. George disclaims
beneficial  ownership  of  all  such  shares.  The  information  furnished  here
regarding beneficial ownership is derived from the Schedule 13D, as amended most
recently on June 29, 1994, filed by the Hulman Interests with the Securities and

MERGER AND RELATED MATTERS

At the time the merger  agreement among SIGCORP,  Indiana Energy and Vectren was
executed,  Indiana Energy and SIGCORP entered into cross option agreements.  See
Item 7 - Other Operating  Matters for more  information  about this merger.  The
first,  entitled  "SIGCORP  Inc.  Stock  Option  Agreement"  grants an option to
Indiana Energy to purchase  4,702,483 SIGCORP common shares.  The SIGCORP Option
Agreement provides for an exercise price of $29.70 per SIGCORP common share. The
second,  entitled "Indiana Energy, Inc. Stock Option Agreement" grants an option
to SIGCORP to purchase  5,927,524  Indiana  Energy  common  shares.  The Indiana
Energy  Option  Agreement  provides for an exercise  price of $22.27 per Indiana
Energy common share.  Neither Indiana Energy nor SIGCORP paid any  consideration
in connection with the Option  agreements other than the execution of the merger
agreement.

The Indiana  Energy  Option and the SIGCORP  Option may be exercised at any time
after the merger agreement becomes  terminable as a result of a "Trigger Event."
A Trigger Event is:

     1)   a material  breach of any material  representation  or warranty or any
          covenant or agreement under the merger agreement: or,

     2)   any one of the following,

      the expiration of the merger agreement,

          o    receipt  by a  party  of a  competing  bid  which  the  board  of
               directors of that party determines must, in the exercise of their
               fiduciary duties, be accepted,

          o    failure to obtain shareholder approval of the merger:  withdrawal
               or modification of the recommendation of the Indiana Energy board
               or the SIGCORP board that the shareholders approve the merger,

          o    the  acquisition  by a third party of more than 25% of the voting
               power of Indiana Energy or SIGCORP: or

          o    failure to approve  replacement  executive officers of Vectren if
               the officers  contemplated by the merger  agreement are unable or
               unwilling to serve, provided that in each case, Indiana Energy or
               SIGCORP fails to reject a third party tender or exchange offer.

Upon  exercise of the  SIGCORP or the  Indiana  Energy  Option,  the  exercising
company  would  own up to 16.6% of the  outstanding  common  shares of the other
company.

The Indiana Energy and SIGCORP Option terminate upon the earliest of

     the effective time of the merger;

     the  termination  of the merger  agreement for reasons other than a Trigger
     Event; or

          o    180 days following the  termination of the merger  agreement upon
               or during the  continuance  of a Trigger  Event (or if the option
               cannot be exercised at the end of the 180 day period due to legal
               action,  until ten business days after the impediment is removed,
               but in no event later than June 11, 2002).
