MONONGAHELA POWER COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
1. The Company's Notes to Financial Statements in the Allegheny
Power System companies' combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995, should be read with the
accompanying financial statements and the following notes.
With the exception of the December 31, 1995, balance sheet in
the aforementioned annual report on Form 10-K, the accompanying
financial statements appearing on pages 3 through 5 and these
notes to financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of
the Company, such financial statements together with these
notes thereto contain all adjustments (which consist only of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
Company's financial position as of June 30, 1996, the results
of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995.
2. The Statement of Income reflects the results of past operations
and is not intended as any representation as to future results.
For purposes of the Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows,
temporary cash investments with original maturities of three
months or less, generally in the form of commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, and repurchase agreements, are
considered to be the equivalent of cash.
3. Effective in 1996 the Company changed its method of reporting
certain bulk power transmission transactions with nonaffiliated
utilities, and reclassified prior year's bulk power revenues
and operation expenses to achieve a consistent presentation.
In prior years, some use of the Company's transmission system
was recorded as purchased power from selling utilities and as
sales of power to buying utilities. The benefit to the Company
was the difference between the two. Because of new Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission requirements, the Company
predominantly does not "buy" and "sell" such energy, but rather
a transmission fee is charged.
Under the new reporting method all such transactions are
recorded on a net revenue basis. The effect of the
reclassification was to reduce amounts reported for bulk power
transaction revenues and operation expenses by $17.7 million
and $37.5 million for the three and six months ended June 1995,
respectively, with no change in operating income or
consolidated net income.
4. As previously announced, the System is undergoing a
reorganization and reengineering process (restructuring) to
simplify its management structure and to increase efficiency.
In March 1996, the Company and its affiliates announced
additional restructuring plans which included consolidating
operating divisions, and centralizing and changing many
accounting, customer services, and other functions. Effective
July 1996, the Company and its affiliates reduced their work
force by about 570 employees. The reductions were accomplished
through an enhanced separation plan,
<PAGE>
- 7 -
attrition, and layoffs. An additional reduction of about 500
employees during the next two or three years will occur
primarily through attrition and, in the union workforce,
pursuant to appropriate contract terms.
Restructuring charges previously recorded were adjusted in the
second quarter to reflect current estimates. Restructuring
charges reflect estimated liabilities for severance, employee
termination costs, and other restructuring costs. Estimated
additional restructuring charges of about $9 million will be
recorded as the liabilities are incurred. A summary of
restructuring liabilities is provided below:

5. The Company owns 27% of the common stock of Allegheny
Generating Company (AGC), and affiliates of the Company own the
remainder. AGC owns an undivided 40% interest, 840 MW, in the
2,100-MW pumped-storage hydroelectric station in Bath County,
Virginia, operated by the 60% owner, Virginia Power Company, a
nonaffiliated utility. Following is a summary of income

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
WITH SECOND QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
Review of Operations
NET INCOME
Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $16.7
million compared with $12.9 million for the corresponding 1995 period.
For the first six months of 1996, net income was $29.7 million compared
with $32.4 million for the corresponding 1995 period. The six-month
period ended June 1996 includes restructuring charges of $13.8 million
($8.3 million net of taxes). Restructuring activities reported in the
first quarter continued in the second quarter with adjustments to the
restructuring charges previously recorded (see Note 4 to the Financial
Statements). The increase in earnings for the second quarter and first
six months of 1996, excluding the restructuring charges, resulted
primarily from increased sales to retail customers.
SALES AND REVENUES
Retail kWh sales to both residential and commercial
customers in the second quarter increased 5%, and to industrial customers
decreased 2%. In the first six months, retail kWh sales to residential,
commercial and industrial customers increased 8%, 5%, and 1%,
respectively. Growth in the number of customers and increased weather-
related sales combined to cause the increase in residential and commercial
sales. The increase in kWh sales to industrial customers in the first six
months of 1996 resulted primarily from increased sales to primary metals
and wood and paper products customers. Revenues from sales to industrial
customers decreased in both periods due primarily to a decrease in the
fuel and energy cost component. The fluctuation in revenues from retail
customers resulted from the following:

*Changes in revenues from fuel and energy cost adjustment
clauses have little effect on net income.
The increase in wholesale and other revenues resulted
primarily from continued increases in sales of capacity, energy, and
spinning reserve to other affiliated companies.
