BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The foregoing consolidated financial statements are unaudited.  
However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (comprising 
only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation 
of the financial statements have been included.  Results for any 
interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be 
expected for the year.  The consolidated financial statements 
include the accounts of IWC Resources Corporation (Resources) and 
its wholly owned subsidiaries.  The term "Company" refers to the 
consolidated operations of Resources and its subsidiaries.

Through its water subsidiaries, the Company owns and operates 
waterworks systems supplying water for residential, commercial and 
industrial uses and for fire protection in Indianapolis, Indiana, 
and the surrounding area.  These subsidiaries are regulated by the 
Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (Commission), and their 
accounting policies, which are substantially consistent with 
generally accepted accounting principles, are governed by the 
Commission.  The Company also owns and operates businesses which 
are involved in utility line locating, data processing and other 
utility-related services, and real estate sales and development.  
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been 
eliminated in consolidation.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set 
forth in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1993.

CURRENT EVENTS

Rate Case

On May 17, 1993, Indianapolis Water Company and Zionsville Water 
Corporation, both wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, filed a 
petition with the Commission for approval of a merger of the two 
companies and a new schedule of rates and charges applicable to 
their interconnected systems.  The increase in combined revenues 
sought by the companies is approximately $8.9 million, or 14%.  
This request for new rates includes the increased costs associated 
with adoption of accrual accounting for postretirement benefits 
other than pensions.  On November 10, 1993, the Utility Consumer 
Counselor, representing ratepayers, prefiled its testimony and 
exhibits in the case, the effect of which, if adopted by the 
Commission, would result in a decrease in current rates of 
approximately $4.6 million, or 7.2%.  The case was heard in 
December 1993, has been briefed and is now awaiting a final 
decision by the Commission.





Notes Payable to Banks and Long-term Debt

In January 1994, the Company prepaid $1,200,000 in principal amount 
of its 12-7/8% Series Bonds, due $240,000 in each of the years 1998 
through 2002, at a premium of $77,000.  Funds used to prepay the 
amount were derived from proceeds of the sale of common shares 
through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase 
Plan.

In March 1994, the Company issued $14,000,000 of 6.31% Senior Notes 
due March 15, 2001.  These bonds are redeemable in whole at the 
option of the Company on or after March 15, 1997.  Proceeds from 
the notes were used to repay $13,700,000 in short-term notes 
payable to banks.

Income Taxes on Customer Advances for Construction

In 1994 the Company began charging developers and customers for 
income taxes incurred on new customer advances for construction.  
Such income taxes collected are included both in water utilities 
operating revenues and income taxes for financial statement 
purposes and, accordingly, do not effect net earnings.  For the 
three months ended March 31, 1994, income taxes collected amounted 
to $266,000.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pursuant to the 1986 Amendments of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the 
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to 
propose new drinking water standards and requirements which, if 
promulgated, could be costly and require substantial changes in 
current operations of the Company.  The outcome of EPA's proposals 
are uncertain at this time.  Additionally, the Indiana Department 
of Environmental Management issues permits for discharges from the 
Company's treatment stations, the terms and limitations of which 
can, and may well be, onerous and expensive.

The Company has agreements with four key executives which provide 
that in the event of change in control of the Company, each 
executive vests in a three-year employment contract at their then 
existing level of compensation.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts as of March 31, 1993 and for the three months then 
ended have been reclassified to conform with the 1994 presentation.

           IWC Resources Corporation and Subsidiaries
   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                    and Results of Operations

General

The operations of IWC Resources Corporation and subsidiaries 
(Company) include two significant segments:  (1) water utilities 
and (2) utility-related services.

The most significant change in the Company's operations within 
the past year results primarily from the acquisition of SM&P 
Conduit Co., Inc. (SM&P) in June 1993.  SM&P's results of 
operations are included in the utility-related segment.

The Company's results of operations for both water utility and 
utility-related segments are seasonal in nature with the higher 
proportion of operating revenues and operating earnings being 
realized in the second and third quarters of the year than the 
first and fourth quarters.  Such seasonality is considered by 
the Company in developing its budgets by quarter.


        Three Months Ended March 31, 1994, Compared with
                Three Months Ended March 31, 1993

Due to the acquisition of SM&P and the seasonality of its 
operations, the Company budgeted an operating loss for the 
utility-related segment and, accordingly, lower consolidated net 
earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1994 as compared 
to the three months ended March 31, 1993.  Operating revenues 
and operation and administrative expenses were budgeted at 
$15,931,000 and $8,720,000, respectively, for the water 
utilities segment and $4,696,000 and $5,583,000, respectively, 
for the utility-related segment.  This compares to actual 
operating revenues and operation and administrative expenses of 
$16,085,000 and $8,64l,000, repectively, for the water utilities 
segment and $5,274,000 and $5,459,000, respectively, for the 
utility-related segment.  The increase of $578,000 of actual 
operating revenues over budgeted operating revenues in the 
utility-related segment is due primarily to new business 
contracts realized at several operating locations.

Following is a discussion and analysis of actual operating 
results.











                               -3-



Operating revenues increased $5,679,000 (36.2%) of which $4,730,000 
is applicable to the utility-related segment.  The increase in water 
utilities segment revenues of $949,000 represents a 6.3% increase 
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1993, and is primarily 
due a 5.9% increase in total water consumption.  Operation and 
administration expenses increased $5,624,000 (66.4%) of which 
$5,291,000 is applicable to the utility-related segment.  The 
increase in water utilities segment expenses of $333,000 which is 
discussed below represents a 4.0% increase over the three months 
ended March 31, 1993, and is primarily due to the effects of 
inflation on the Company's costs and cold related problems 
experienced during 1994.  Labor expenses increased $300,000 (9.5%) 
mainly due to a general wage increase, effective January 1, 1994, and 
to overtime paid due to maintenance repairs resulting from the 
extremely cold weather in January and February 1994.  Chemical costs 
increased $39,000 (26.2%) primarily due to increased usage and higher 
chemical costs.  Materials and transportation costs increased 
$135,000 (24.7%) largely due to the increase in maintenance repairs.  
The cost of outside services decreased $182,000 (11.1%) chiefly due 
to a decrease in consulting and other services.  Regulatory expenses 
decreased $68,000 (76.6%) primarily due to decreased rate case 
expenses.  Costs of the Company's pension and other benefit plans 
increased $53,000 (13.2%) primarily due to the higher costs of 
benefits provided.  Depreciation increased $388,000 (26.7%) of which 
$370,000 is applicable to the utility-related services segment.

Taxes, other than income taxes, increased $362,000 (23.4%) which is 
net of a $15,000 (1.0%) decrease in such expenses for the water 
utilities segment.  The increase in interest expense, net, of $54,000 
(3.1%) is largely due to the effects of higher rates on total debt 
outstanding.  Income taxes decreased $374,000 (30.0%) primarily due 
to the net effects of lower pretax earnings and income taxes charged 
on customer advances for construction.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At the present time, the majority of the Company's business 
activities are conducted through its water utilities.  In June 1993, 
the Company acquired SM&P which diversified the Company's 
operations.  The Company may, in the future, become involved in other 
water utilities and utility-related activities through the 
acquisition or formation of additional subsidiaries.  The source of 
capital to finance these subsidiaries will be determined at the time 
they are established or acquired.  However, the Company does not 
intend to enter into any business that would impair the Company's 
primary commitment to maintain and develop its water utilities to 
meet the current and future needs of their customers.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities result primarily from net 
earnings adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and 
deferred taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities.  The 
seasonal nature of the Company's business typically results in higher 
operating revenues in the second and third quarters of the year than 
in the first and fourth quarters.  Fluctuations in accounts payable 
and accrued expenses result primarily from property taxes and timing 
of payments, whereas federal income taxes vary with pretax earnings 
and the level of taxable customer advances for construction received 
by the Company.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities fluctuate primarily as a result 
of additions to utility plant and other property and the level of 
customer advances for construction, net of refunds.  Approximately 58 
miles of new mains were placed in service in 1993 compared with 
approximately 86 miles during 1992.

The Company continues to experience growth in its distribution system 
and received over $5,700,000 in new customer advances for 
construction of new mains in 1993 and over $6,500,000 in 1992.  Such 
advances are subject to refund over a ten-year period based on the 
addition of new customers to the constructed mains.  The Company 
refunded approximately $2,200,000 during 1993 and approximately 
$2,400,000 during 1992.  The Company also added $18,988,000 
(including $5,021,000 from the acquisition of SM&P) to utility plant 
and other property during 1993 compared to $15,751,000 during 1992.

The Company received $3,234,000 in new customer advances and refunded 
$991,000 in customer advances during the three months ended March 31, 
1994, compared to $1,824,000 and $681,000, respectively, during the 
three months ended March 31, 1993.  The Company also added $4,568,000 
to utility plant and other property during the three months ended 
March 31, 1994, compared to $2,359,000 during the three months ended 
March 31, 1993.




                                 -5-



Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities consists primarily of the 
Company's borrowings, dividend payments and sales of common shares.  
The Company utilizes borrowings against its lines of credit with 
local banks for its short-term cash needs.

In January 1993, the Company prepaid $1,100,000 in principal amount 
of its 12-7/8% Series Bonds at a premium of $80,000 and in January 
1994, prepaid an additional $1,200,000 in principal amount of these 
bonds at a premium of $77,000.  Funds used to prepay the amounts in 
1993 and 1994 were derived from proceeds of the sale of common shares 
through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan.  
In March 1994, the Company issued $14,000,000 of 6.31% Senior Notes 
due in 2001.  Proceeds from the notes were used to repay $13,700,000 
in short-term notes payable to banks incurred for the acquisition of 
SM&P.

Approximately 99%, 110%, and 81% of net earnings applicable to common 
and common equivalent shares were declared payable in cash dividends 
during 1993, 1992, and 1991, respectively.  Long-term debt, as a 
percentage of total capital and long-term debt, decreased to 52.6% at 
December 31, 1993, compared to 56.2% at December 31, 1992, and 52.1% 
at December 31, 1991.  The decrease in 1993 in the "debt ratio" was 
primarily due to the combined effects of a payment of $12,700,000 in 
long-term debt and issuance of new long-term debt of $11,600,000, 
issuance of $8,300,000 in common stock for the acquisition of SM&P, 
issuance of common stock through the Company's dividend reinvestment 
and restricted stock plans of $1,273,000 and an increase in retained 
earnings of $86,000.

During 1993, the Company increased its line of credit for working 
capital purposes to $22,200,000; borrowings under the lines were 
$8,521,000 at March 31, 1994.






















                                 -6-



Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for 1994 are budgeted at approximately 
$23,000,000 and will be financed primarily from internally generated 
cash, customer advances for construction, short-term bank borrowings 
and draws from construction funds held by the trustee.  Capital 
expenditures for the five-year period 1994 through 1998 are budgeted 
at approximately $125,000,000 with the major portion for new mains 
and distribution and plant facilities.  The Company anticipates that 
it will be necessary during the five-year period 1994 through 1998 to 
secure additional outside financing from both short and long-term 
debt, in order to finance planned capital expenditures and long-term 
debt maturities.

Projected capital expenditures do not include any construction 
projects that IWC could be required to undertake to comply with 
legislative or regulatory environmental or water quality requirements 
that may be imposed in the future.  If IWC is required to adopt new 
methods of water treatment, the costs involved will be substantial.  
Capital costs are estimated at $37,000,000 for ozonation and 
$90,000,000 for granular activated carbon (GAC).  Additionally, IWC 
is subject to regulatory requirements regarding discharges from its 
treatment plants.  The Company estimates that the cost to comply with 
possible changes to existing regulatory requirements could aggregate 
$30,000,000 for additional facilities and $1,000,000 in increased 
operating costs.  Such costs and expenses should be recoverable 
through water rates, but only after appropriate regulatory action.

Environmental Matters

The Company's utility operations are subject to pollution control and 
water quality control regulations, including those issued by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Indiana Department of 
Environmental Management (IDEM), the Indiana Water Pollution Control 
Board and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.  Under the 
Federal Clean Water Act and Indiana's regulations, the Company must 
obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 
permits for discharges from its White River, Fall Creek, and the 
Thomas W. Moses treatment stations.  The Company's current NPDES 
permits were to expire June 30, 1989, for White River and Fall Creek 
stations and December 31, 1990, for Thomas W. Moses treatment 
station.  Applications for renewal of the permits have been filed 
with, but have not been acted upon by, IDEM (these permits continue 
in effect pending review of the applications).  The Company received 
an NPDES permit for its White River North Station on April 1, 1991, 
and it has complied with the reporting requirements for the initial 
twelve-month period of the permit.  IDEM has authority to reopen this 
permit and it could propose in some or all of these permits 
additional limitations that could be difficult and expensive.  
Accordingly, the full impact of such restrictions cannot be assessed 
with certainty at this time.  The Company anticipates, however, that 
the capital costs and expense of compliance with any such permits are 
likely to be significant.


                                 -7-




Under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the Company is 
subject to regulation by EPA of the quality of water it sells and 
treatment techniques it uses to make the water potable.  EPA 
promulgates nationally applicable maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) 
for "contaminants" found in drinking water.  Management believes that 
the Company is currently in compliance with all MCLs promulgated to 
date.  EPA has continuing authority, however, to issue additional 
regulations under the SDWA, and Congress amended the SDWA in July 
1986 to require EPA, within a three-year period, to promulgate MCLs 
for over 80 chemicals not then regulated.  EPA has been unable to 
meet the three-year deadline, but has promulgated MCLs for many of 
these chemicals and has proposed additional MCLs.  Management of the 
Company believes that it will be able to comply with the promulgated 
MCLs and those now proposed without any change in treatment 
technique, but anticipates that in the future, because of EPA 
regulations, the Company may have to change its method of treating 
drinking water to include ozonation and/or GAC.  In either case, the 
capital costs could be significant (currently estimated at 
$37,000,000 for ozonation and $90,000,000 for GAC), as would be the 
Company's increase in annual operating costs (currently estimated at 
$1,600,000 for ozonation and $4,300,000 for GAC).  Actual costs could 
exceed these estimates.  The Company would expect to recover such 
costs through its water rates; however, such recovery may not 
necessarily be timely.

Under a 1991 law enacted by the Indiana Legislature, a water utility, 
including the utility subsidiaries of the Company, may petition the 
Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (Commission) for prior approval 
of its plans and estimated expenditures required to comply with 
provisions of, and regulations under, the Federal Clean Water Act and 
SDWA.  Upon obtaining such approval, the utility may include, to the 
extent of its estimated costs as approved by the Commission, such 
costs in its rate base for ratemaking purposes and recover its costs 
of developing and implementing the approved plans if statutory 
standards are met.  The capital costs for such new systems, equipment 
or facilities or modifications of existing facilities may be included 
in the utility's rate base upon completion of construction of the 
project or any part thereof.  While use of this statute is voluntary 
on the part of a utility, if utilized, it should allow utilities a 
greater degree of confidence in recovering major costs incurred to 
comply with environmental related laws on a timely basis.














                                 -8-




Trends, Inflation, and Changing Prices

Under normal conditions and particularly during periods of inflation, 
water utility revenues from increased water consumption will not keep 
pace with the increase in operating costs.  Therefore, periodic water 
rate and service charge adjustments are necessary, with the frequency 
of such increases being partially determined by the amount of 
inflation.

Results for any interim period are not indicative of results to be 
expected for the year.  Typically, the seasonal nature of the 
Company's business results in a higher proportion of operating 
revenues being realized in the second and third quarters of the year 
than the first and fourth quarters of the year.
