imately 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.

          In April 1994 the Company formed Energy Systems Group,
Inc. ("ESGI"), an Indiana corporation, as a wholly-owned
subsidiary.  ESGI provides equipment, lighting  and related
energy management design services to industrial and
commercial customers.  ESGI is located in Evansville,
Indiana.

          In May 1994 the Company formed Southern Indiana
Minerals, Inc. ("SIMI"), an Indiana corporation, as a
wholly-owned subsidiary.  SIMI processes and markets coal
combustion by-products.  SIMI is located in Evansville,
Indiana.

          On June 30, 1994,  the Company acquired Lincoln Natural
Gas Company, Inc. ("LNG"), an Indiana corporation,  a small
gas distribution company serving 1,368 customers in the
Rockport, Indiana area.  LNG's service territory is
contiguous to the Company's eastern gas service territory
boundary and is within the Company's existing electric
service territory.

          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 798
circuit miles of 138,000, 69,000 and 36,000 volt lines.  The
transmission system also includes 26 substations with an
installed capacity of 3,870,349 kilovolt amperes.  The
electric distribution system includes 3,175 pole miles of
lower voltage overhead lines and 186 trench miles of conduit
containing 1,046 miles of underground distribution cables. 
The distribution system also includes 87 distribution
substations with an installed capacity of 1,493,422 kilovolt
amperes and 45,644 distribution transformers with an
installed capacity of 1,805,318 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 2,263 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 5,815
natural gas customers consisting of residential, commercial,
industrial and public authority classes of service.  Its gas
distribution system includes approximately 411 miles of
distribution mains.  Community has no underground gas
storage facilities.

          LNG is a small gas utility that is contiguous to the
Company's eastern gas service territory boundary.  LNG has
1,368 natural gas customers consisting of residential,
commercial and industrial classes of service.  Its gas
distribution system includes approximately 57 miles of
distribution mains.  LNG has no underground gas storage
facilities.

          3.  For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company's
retail and wholesale electric sales totaled 5,566,309,913
kWh, while its retail and transported gas sales totaled
26,975,104 Dth.  The Company has no electric or gas retail

from its four traditional pipeline suppliers, Texas Gas
