          On December 22,1986, the Company acquired approximately 33% of the
outstanding common stock of Community Natural Gas Company, Inc.
("Community"), an Indiana corporation, which is a small Indiana gas
distribution company with offices in Mt. Carmel, Illinois. Community conducts
its business in southwestern Indiana.

          Subject to various approvals, including approval under the Public
Utility Holding Act of 1935, the Company has agreed to acquire Lincoln
Natural Gas Company, Inc., a small gas distribution company serving customers
in the Rockport, Indiana area. An application on Form U-1 is being prepared
but has not yet been filed.

          2.  The principal generating facilities of the Company include the
Culley Station with 388,000 kW of capacity and Warrick Unit No. 4 with
135,000 kW of capacity, both located in Warrick County near Yankeetown,
Indiana; and the A.B. Brown Station with 500,000 kW of capacity, located in
Posey County about eight miles east of Mt. Vernon, Indiana. These facilities
include six coal-fired generating units and have a combined generating
capacity of 1,023,000 kW.

          The Company's Broadway Gas Turbine Units, with a capacity of
115,000 kW, are located in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. This
generating facility is equipped to burn oil and/or natural gas.  These units
generally are used only for reserve, peaking or emergency purposes due to the
higher unit cost per kilowatt hour of generation when using oil or gas as
fuel.

          The Company's Brown Gas Turbine I, with capacity of 80,000 MW, is
located at the A.B. Brown Station. The unit is fueled by natural gas,
although fuel oil can also be used if gas is unavailable. The main function
of the gas turbine is generating adequate power during times of peak demand.


However, it will also assist in maintaining voltage support on the west end
of the system, and it can be used to "black start" the Brown plant if a
catastrophe should cause a partial or total system blackout.

          The Company also owns two gas fired turbine generating units with a
capacity of 20,000 kW, which are used for peaking and emergency purposes
only. These units are known as the Northeast Gas Turbine Units and are
located northeast of Evansville, in Vanderburgh County, Indiana.

          The Company's transmission system consists of 871 circuit miles of
138,000, 69,000 and 36,000 volt lines. The transmission system also includes
26 substations with an installed capacity of 3,874,724 kilovolt amperes. The
electric distribution system includes 3,176 pole miles of lower voltage
overhead lines and 180 trench miles of conduit containing 987 miles of
underground distribution cables. The distribution system also includes 86
distribution substations with an installed capacity of 1,306,508 kilovolt
amperes and 45,057 distribution transformers with an installed capacity of
1,771,152 kilovolt amperes.

          The Company owns and operates three underground gas storage fields
with an estimated ready delivery from storage capability of 3.8 billion cubic
feet of gas. The Oliver Field, in service since 1954, is located in Posey
County, Indiana, about 13 miles west of Evansville; the Midway Field, in
service since 1966, is located in Spencer County, Indiana, about 20 miles
east of Evansville near Richland, Indiana; and, the Monroe City Field, in
service since 1958, is located 10 miles east of Vincennes, Indiana.

          The Company's gas transmission system includes 324 miles of
transmission mains, and the gas distribution system includes 2,196 miles of
distribution mains.

          The only utility property the Company owns outside of Indiana is
approximately eight miles of 138,000 volt electric transmission line which is
located in Kentucky and which interconnects with Louisville Gas and Electric
Company's transmission system at Cloverport, Kentucky.

          Community is a small gas utility that has several noncontiguous
service territories in southwestern Indiana. Much of its service territory is
adjacent to or near the gas service territory of the Company.  Community has
approximately 5,604 natural gas customers consisting of residential,
commercial, industrial and public authority classes of service.  Its gas
distribution system includes approximately 339 miles of distribution mains.
Community has no underground gas storage facilities.

          3.  For the year ended December 31,1993, the Company's retail and
wholesale electric sales totaled 5,454,990,508 kWh, while its retail and
transported gas sales totaled 28,193,812 Dth. The Company has no electric or
gas retail sales outside the State of Indiana. For this same period, the
Company had wholesale electric sales of 12,725,000 kWh to utilities located
in Kentucky and Ohio. The Company had no gas wholesale sales outside of
Indiana, or at the state line. During 1993, the Company purchased 266,871,000
kWh of power from utilities located in Kentucky and Ohio. For the year ended
December 31,1993, the Company's retail gas sales totaled 16,823,270 Dth and
11,370,542 Dth of transported gas for end users for a total gas sold and
transported of 28,193,812 Dth, all of which was distributed within the State
of Indiana. For this same period, the Company had no gas wholesale sales. In
1993, the Company purchased for its system supply 5,066,547 Dth of natural
gas from Texas Gas Transmission Corporation and Texas Eastern Corporation,
its traditional or contract suppliers, and 12,203,868 Dth from twenty-two
spot market gas suppliers.

          For the year ended December 31,1993, Community's retail gas sales
totaled 775,112 Dth and 87,730 Dth of transported gas for end users for a
total gas sold and transported of 862,842 Dth, all of which was distributed
within the State of Indiana. For this same period, Community had no gas
wholesale sales. In 1993, Community purchased for its system supply 219,384


Dth of natural gas from its four traditional or contract suppliers, Texas Gas
Transmission Corporation, Texas Eastern Corporation, ANR Pipeline and Midwest
Gas, and 575,435 Dth from six spot market gas suppliers.

          4.   The Company does not hold any interest in an exempt wholesale
generator or foreign utility company.

Company (and its subsidiary company) for the year ended December 31, 1993,

          Exhibit B:  Financial data schedule. 


           The above named Company has caused this statement to be duly
executed on its behalf by its authorized officer on this 25th day of
February, 1994.
