Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1994
(1) ACCOUNTING POLICIES
It is Midland's opinion that the financial information contained in this
report reflects all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the
results for the period reported, but such results are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year, due to the somewhat seasonal
nature of Midland's operations. All such adjustments were of a normal,
recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
However, the disclosures herein when read with the annual report for 1993 filed
on Form 10-K are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
-----------------------------------------------------------
& RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
-----------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- - ---------------------
Reductions in contract towing, changes in commodity mix, rate reductions and
rate de-escalations resulted in a 12% decrease in revenues from the prior year.
Downtime for unscheduled plant maintenance at Midland's largest customer and
lost volume from a long-term contract currently subject to litigation
contributed to a 29% reduction in utility contract coal ton miles from the 1993
level. In addition, volume in 1993 was positively impacted by stockpiling in
anticipation of a possible coal miners strike. Redeployment of equipment to
other commodities and tramp towing helped limit the reduction in overall ton
miles to 6%. Midland's liquid barge business, which was sold in December 1993,
generated revenues of $2.7 million in the first quarter of 1993.
Operating earnings were negatively impacted by the reduced utility contract
coal volume as previously discussed, and lower rates associated with non-coal
tonnage. Significantly higher operating costs, as compared to 1993, resulting
from reduced tow sizes, loading delays and other inefficiencies due to extended
ice and high water conditions were partially offset by the implementation of
cost savings programs instituted in late 1993. The adverse operating
conditions and the resulting higher operating costs are expected to continue
into the second quarter. Net earnings for the first quarter declined 69% as
compared to last year.
Midland has negotiated an extension of its long-term contract with its largest
customer, Cincinnati Gas & Electric Co., through the year 2000. Under the
terms of the extension, Midland made some rate concessions, effective January
1, 1994, in exchange for certain renewal and efficiency improvement rights.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Debt payments, dividends and advances to Parent and capital expenditures of
$1,119,000 were funded from cash provided by operating activities in the First
Quarter of 1994.
