SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1994
(Unaudited)
The following notes should be read in conjunction with the
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1993. These are interim financial statements and,
because of temperature variations between seasons of the year,
the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income are
not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the year. In
the opinion of management, the information furnished herein
reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which
are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
periods reported.
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
A. Principles of Consolidation:
The Company, a public utility, is a South Carolina
corporation organized in 1924 and a wholly owned subsidiary
of SCANA Corporation (SCANA), a South Carolina holding
company. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements
include the accounts of the Company and South Carolina Fuel
Company, Inc. (Fuel Company), an affiliate. Intercompany
balances and transactions between the Company and Fuel
Company have been eliminated in consolidation.
The assets of the former Peoples Natural Gas Company of South
Carolina, which were owned by SCANA and operated by the
Company, were transferred to the Company on January 1, 1994.
The transaction did not have a significant impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.
The Company has entered into agreements with certain
affiliates to purchase gas for resale to its distribution
customers and to purchase electric energy. The Company
purchases all of its natural gas requirements from South
Carolina Pipeline Corporation. The Company purchases all of
the electric generation of Williams Station, which is owned
by South Carolina Generating Company, Inc., under a unit
power sales agreement. Such unit power purchases are
included in "Purchased power."
B. Reclassifications:
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to
conform with the 1994 presentation.
2. RATE MATTERS:
With respect to rate matters at March 31, 1994, reference is
made to Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993. No changes have occurred with
respect to those matters as reported therein except as shown
below.
On March 31, 1994 the Company filed an application with The
South Carolina Public Service Commission (PSC) for the
elimination of the $.40 fare for low income riders of the
Company's transit system. A hearing is scheduled for May 31,
1994.
3. RETAINED EARNINGS:
The Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company and the
Indenture underlying certain of its bond issues contain
provisions that may limit the payment of cash dividends on
common stock. In addition, with respect to hydroelectric
projects, the Federal Power Act may require the appropriation
of a portion of the earnings therefrom. At March 31, 1994
approximately $10.7 million of retained earnings were
restricted as to payment of dividends on common stock.
4. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
With respect to commitments at March 31, 1994, reference is
made to Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1993. No significant changes have
occurred with respect to those matters as reported therein.
7
<PAGE>
Contingencies at March 31, 1994 are as follows:
A. Nuclear Insurance
The Price-Anderson Indemnification Act, which deals with the
Company's public liability for a nuclear incident, currently
establishes the liability limit for third-party claims
associated with any nuclear incident at $9.4 billion. Each
reactor licensee is currently liable for up to $79.3 million
per reactor owned for each nuclear incident occurring at any
reactor in the United States, provided that not more than $10
million of the liability per reactor would be assessed per
year. The Company's maximum assessment, based on its two-
thirds ownership of Summer Station, would not exceed
approximately $52.9 million per incident but not more than
$6.7 million per year.
The Company currently maintains policies (for itself and on
behalf of the PSA) with Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited
(NEIL) and American Nuclear Insurers (ANI) providing combined
property and decontamination insurance coverage of $1.4
billion for any losses in excess of $500 million pursuant
to existing primary coverages (with ANI) on Summer Station.
The Company pays annual premiums and, in addition, could be
assessed a retroactive premium not to exceed 7 1/2 times its
annual premium in the event of property damage loss to any
nuclear generating facilities covered by NEIL. Based on the
current annual premium, this retroactive premium would not
exceed approximately $8.1 million.
To the extent that insurable claims for property damage,
decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and
expenses arising from a nuclear incident at Summer Station
exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such
insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the
extent that the Company's rates would not recover the cost of
any purchased replacement power, the Company will retain the
risk of loss as a self-insurer. The Company has no reason to
anticipate a serious nuclear incident at Summer Station. If
such an incident were to occur, it could have a materially
adverse impact on the Company's financial position.
B. Environmental
The Company has an environmental assessment program to
identify and assess current and former operations sites that
could require environmental cleanup. As site assessments are
initiated, an estimate is made of the amount of expenditures,
if any, necessary to investigate and clean up each site.
These estimates are refined as additional information becomes
available; therefore actual expenditures could significantly
differ from the original estimates. Amounts estimated and
accrued to date for site assessment and cleanup
(approximately $22.9 million) relate primarily to regulated
operations; such amounts have been deferred and are being
amortized and recovered through rates over a ten year period.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Material Changes in Capital Resources and Liquidity
From December 31, 1993 to March 31, 1994
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The cash requirements of the Company arise primarily from
its operational needs and construction program. The ability of
the Company to replace existing plant investment, as well as to
expand to meet future demands for electricity and gas, will
depend upon its ability to attract the necessary financial
capital on reasonable terms. The Company recovers the costs of
providing services through rates charged to customers. Rates for
regulated services are based on historical costs. As customer
growth and inflation occur and the Company expands its
construction program it is necessary to seek increases in rates.
As a result the Company's future financial position and results
of operations will be impacted by its ability to obtain adequate
and timely rate relief.
The following table summarizes how the Company generated
funds for its utility property additions and construction
expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
1993:
Three Months Ended
March 31,
1994 1993
(Thousands of Dollars)
Net cash provided from operating activities $ 50,008 $11,710
Net cash provided from financing activities 66,895 32,096
Cash and temporary cash investments available
at the beginning of the period 193 24,302
Net cash available for utility property
additions and construction expenditures $117,096 $68,108
Funds used for utility property additions
and construction expenditures, net of
noncash allowance for funds used during
construction $106,912 $51,004
The Company anticipates that the remainder of its 1994 cash
requirements will be met primarily through internally generated
funds, sales of additional securities, additional equity
contributions from SCANA and the incurrence of additional short-
term and long-term indebtedness. The timing and amount of such
financings will depend upon market conditions and other factors.
The ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the twelve months
ended March 31, 1994 was 3.78.
The Company expects that it has or can obtain adequate
sources of financing to meet its cash requirements for the next
twelve months and for the foreseeable future.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY
Results of Operations
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 1994
As Compared to the Corresponding Period in 1993
Earnings and Dividends
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1994
increased approximately $8.5 million when compared to the
corresponding period in 1993 primarily due to an increase in the
electric operating margin.
AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of
the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance
construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction
work in progress) is capitalized. Both the equity and the debt
portions of AFC are noncash items of nonoperating income which
have the effect of increasing reported net income. AFC
represented approximately 5% and 8% of income before income taxes
for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
On February 15, 1994 the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the payment of a dividend on common stock of
$28,100,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1994. The dividend
was paid on April 1, 1994 to SCANA Corporation, the Company's
parent.
On April 28, 1994 the Company's Board of Directors
authorized the payment of a dividend on common stock of
$29,600,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1994. The dividend is
payable on July 1, 1994 to SCANA Corporation, the Company's
parent.
Sales Margins
The change in the electric sales margins for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 when compared to the corresponding
period in 1993 was as follows:
Three Months
Change % Change
(Millions)
Electric operating revenues $27.3 13.1
Less: Fuel used in electric
generation 5.2 14.4
Purchased power 2.8 10.9
Margin $19.3 13.2
The electric sales margin increased for the three months
ended March 31, 1994 compared to the corresponding period in 1993
primarily due to higher kilowatt hour sales due to increased
customer usage associated with a period of extremely cold weather
during the first quarter of 1994. In addition, the electric
sales margin includes an increase in retail electric rates which
was effective beginning June 1993.
10
<PAGE>
The change in the gas sales margins for the three months
ended March 31, 1994 when compared to the corresponding period in
1993 was as follows:
Three Months
Change % Change
(Millions)
Gas operating revenues $6.6 9.3
Less: Gas purchased for resale 4.1 10.4
Margin $2.5 8.0
The increase in the gas sales margin for the three months is
primarily a result of increased sales due to the transfer of the
operations of the former Peoples Natural Gas Company of South
Carolina from SCANA Corporation to the Company in January 1994.
The increase in the gas sales margin for the three months also
includes increased sales partially offset by reduced recoveries
under the weather normalization adjustment, both due to colder
weather during the first quarter of 1994.
Other Operating Expenses
Increases (decreases) in other operating expenses,
including taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 1994
compared to the corresponding period in 1993 are presented in the
following table:
Three Months
Change % Change
(Millions)
Other operation and maintenance $ 4.0 6.5
Depreciation and amortization 1.4 5.4
Income taxes 8.5 47.1
Other taxes (0.2) (0.8)
Total $13.7 11.2
Other operation and maintenance expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 increased primarily due to an
increase in employee-related expenses. The depreciation and
amortization increase for the three months reflects additions to
plant in service. The increase in income tax expense for the
three month comparison corresponds to the increases in income
and reflects the 1993 increase in the corporate tax rate from 34%
to 35% which was recorded in August 1993 and was retroactive to
January 1, 1993.
