1)  Description of all products and services that were developed, in the process
    of development or being  considered  for development  by the  RIKA Companies
    during the period

    o           The RIKA  Companies  continues to add relay test macros to their
                standard  Ultra-test  software  package.  They have  completed a
                "vector  program"  which allows the user to do quick analysis of
                the real and reactive power components during relay testing.

    o           The RIKA  Companies  have  completed  development  of a software
                database   that   can  be  used  to   integrate   the   multiple
                substation/relay   maintenance  and  testing  software  programs
                available on the market.


2)  Description of  any  software or ancillary  services  provided to PSO by the
    RIKA Companies during the period

    o           In 1997,  CSW  completed  the purchase and  installation  of the
                Ultra-test  relay testing  package for each of its four electric
                operating  companies,  including PSO. The RIKA Companies provide
                ongoing maintenance and support of the product.

    o           CSW  is  in  the  process  of purchasing  the  software database
                product.

    o           PSO is evaluating at three  locations the substation  automation
                system  for  limited  implementation  on  the  PSO  distribution
                system.

    o           The RIKA  Companies  continue to provide a small amount of basic
                and advanced relay testing training.


3)  Statement of any dividends or interest paid to PSO, both for the period  and
    cumulatively,  as a  result of  its debt  and  equity  holdings  in the RIKA
    Companies

    o           RIKA continues to experience relatively slow growth and requires
                all  available  cash in order to  provide  working  capital  for
                operations.  As a result, PSO recorded no interest income in the
                first half 1999.  None of the  provisions of the agreement  were
                modified nor were any other  considerations given as a result of
                this decision.  PSO's cumulative interest received from the RIKA
                Companies is $45,874.

    o           The RIKA Companies paid no dividends to PSO during the reporting
                period nor cumulatively.


4)  Statement  regarding  the  nature and  consequences  of any event of default
    under  the development  agreement occurring during the period, including any
    resulting  change in the  voting  interest  held by  PSO in any  of the RIKA
    Companies and any exercise of control by PSO over the management and affairs
    of any of the RIKA Companies

                No  events of  default,  change in the  voting  interest  or any
                exercise of control occurred during the reporting period.
