       The Company entered into a financing obligation relative to the Short
Creek Acid Mine Drainage facility through a sale and leaseback transaction. 
The lease term is 20 years with a bargain purchase option at the end of the
term.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 98
for accounting purposes the transaction did not qualify as a sale.  Therefore,
the facility was transferred to mining plant in service and is being
depreciated over 20 years which is the remaining life of the facility.

       Future minimum lease payments for the facility by year and in the
aggregate consisted of the following at June 30, 1994:

                                                                (in thousands)

                                     FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

       The Company announced a reduction of 95 employees effective May 28, 1994
as part of the American Electric Power (AEP) System's Clean Air Act compliance
plan.  Approximately 238 employees will remain in the Company's work force.

       The Cardinal Plant's Unit 2 will switch to low-sulfur coal to comply with
Phase I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA), which become effective
January 1, 1995.  The work force restructuring was implemented in order to
reduce the high-sulfur coal inventory at the plant in preparation for the fuel
switch.

       The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) strongly recommended that
the Company not supply coal to the Cardinal Plant Unit 1 after the commence-
ment of Phase I of the CAAA in January 1995.  AEP's systemwide PUCO approved
CAAA Phase I compliance plan includes continued use of Windsor coal at
Cardinal Unit 1 until the commencement of Phase II of the CAAA in January
2000.
