                INFORMATION CONCERNING OPERATIONS
               FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

    In June 1994 a $25 million loss was recorded as the Company idled a
leased dragline and shovel and bought out the lease.  Management concluded
that this mining equipment would no longer be needed due to the Muskingum
River Plant's Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 compliance plan to use low
sulfur coal from unaffiliated sources.  Included in the recorded loss were the
operating lease buyout and the write-off of $3.1 million net book value of
leasehold improvements and capitalized spare parts.  These costs are being
normalized for selling price purposes and the portion of this provision
unbilled at June 30, 1994 was deferred and will be billed over the months of
July through November 1994.

    expense as the uncovered coal is mined and sold.
