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

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.

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

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. American Electric Power also uses the Ultra-test product making the product
a company standard for the merged American Electric Power/ Central and South
West Corporation. The RIKA Companies provide ongoing maintenance and support of
the product.
o CSW has purchased the software database product. Whether this product will
continue to be used within the new American Electric Power organization has yet
to be determined.

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

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 2000. 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.
