CINERGY CORP.
Below is information concerning the consolidated results of operations for Cinergy for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. For information concerning the results of operations for each of the other registrants for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, see the discussion under the heading "Results of Operations" following the financial statements of each registrant.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Operating Revenues
Electric Operating Revenues
The components of electric operating revenues and the related kwh sales are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 Revenue Kwh Sales 1999 1998 1999 1998 ($ and kwh in millions) Retail $676 $ 633 12,276 11,678 Sales for resale 266 515 10,694 21,733 Other 27 11 172 - ---- ------ ------ ------- Total $969 $1,159 23,142 33,411 |
Electric operating revenues decreased $190 million (16%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, when compared to the same period for 1998. This decrease was primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale transactions related to energy marketing and trading operations. Partially offsetting the decline was an increase in the average price per kwh for retail customers, higher retail and firm power kwh sales resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers and a return to more normal weather in the first quarter of 1999, as compared to 1998, and increased international operations.
Gas Operating Revenues
The components of gas operating revenues and the related mcf sales are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 Revenue Mcf Sales ------------------- ------------------- 1999 1998 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- ----- ($ and mcf in millions) Sales for resale $243 $ - 143 N/A Retail 158 174 26 26 Transportation 20 11 13 16 ---- ---- --- --- Total $421 $185 182 42 |
Gas operating revenues increased $236 million in the first quarter of 1999, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the gas operating revenues of ProEnergy, which was acquired in June 1998. A lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased, which was passed on to end users, contributed to the decrease in retail sales. Transportation revenues increased as more residential and commercial customers began to purchase gas directly from suppliers, using transportation services provided by CG&E. This increase in transportation revenues was partially offset by a decrease in mcf transportation volumes resulting from the loss of a large industrial transportation customer during late 1998.
Other Revenues
Other revenues increased $8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, over the same period of 1998. This increase was primarily the result of increased revenues of new non-regulated initiatives operated by the various business units.
Operating Expenses
Fuel and Purchased and Exchanged Power
The components of fuel and purchased and exchanged power are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Fuel $198 $181 Purchased and exchanged power 235 471 ---- ---- Total $433 $652 |
Electric fuel costs increased $17 million (9%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year.
An analysis of these fuel costs is shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 (in millions) Fuel expense - March 31, 1998 $181 Increase (Decrease) due to change in: Price of fuel (2) Deferred fuel cost 5 Kwh generation 9 Other 5 ---- Fuel expense - March 31, 1999 $198 |
Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $236 million (50%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily reflecting decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to others as a result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in the energy marketing and trading operations.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, increased $227 million, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the gas purchased expenses of ProEnergy, which was acquired in June 1998. Partially offsetting this increase was a lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased.
Other Operation and Maintenance
The components of other operation and maintenance expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Other operation $195 $174 Maintenance 50 39 ---- ---- Total $245 $213 |
Other operation expenses increased $21 million (12%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in operating expenses related to various non-regulated subsidiaries and the estimated loss on a specific customer account.
Maintenance expenses increased $11 million (28%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to an increase in maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain production facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
The components of depreciation and amortization expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Depreciation $79 $73 Amortization of phase-in deferrals 6 6 Amortization of post-in-service deferred operating expenses 1 1 --- --- Total $86 $80 |
Depreciation expense increased $6 million (8%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to additions to depreciable plant.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
The $33 million increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily attributable to an increase in the earnings of Avon Energy resulting from increased profits related to Midlands' supply business and lower costs of purchased electricity.
Preferred Dividend Requirements of Subsidiaries
The decrease in preferred dividend requirements of subsidiaries of $1 million (44%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily attributable to PSI's redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.44% Series Cumulative Preferred Stock on March 1, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Operating Revenues
Electric Operating Revenues
The components of electric operating revenues and the related kwh sales are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 Revenue Kwh Sales 1999 1998 1999 1998 ($ and kwh in millions) Retail $358 $336 5,882 5,438 Sales for resale 121 254 4,918 10,793 Other 3 3 N/A N/A ---- ---- ------ ------ Total $482 $593 10,800 16,231 |
Electric operating revenues decreased $111 million (19%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, when compared to the same period for 1998. This decrease was primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale transactions related to Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations. Partially offsetting the decline was higher retail kwh sales resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers and a return to more normal weather in the first quarter of 1999, as compared to 1998.
Gas Operating Revenues
The components of gas operating revenues and the related mcf sales are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 Revenue Mcf Sales 1999 1998 1999 1998 ($ and mcf in millions) Retail $144 $162 26 26 Transportation 20 11 13 16 ---- ---- -- -- Total $164 $173 39 42 |
Gas operating revenues decreased $9 million (5%) in the first quarter of 1999, when compared to the same period last year. A lower average cost per mcf of gas purchased, which was passed on to end users, contributed to the decrease in retail sales. Transportation revenues increased as more residential and commercial customers began to purchase gas directly from suppliers, using transportation services provided by CG&E. This increase in transportation revenues was partially offset by a decrease in mcf transportation volumes resulting from the loss of a large industrial transportation customer during late 1998.
Operating Expenses
Fuel and Purchased and Exchanged Power
The components of fuel and purchased and exchanged power are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Fuel $ 86 $ 88 Purchased and exchanged power 113 237 ---- ---- Total $199 $325 |
Electric fuel costs decreased $2 million (2%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year.
An analysis of these fuel costs is shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 (in millions) Fuel expense - March 31, 1998 $88 Increase (Decrease) due to change in: Price of fuel 1 Deferred fuel cost (7) Kwh generation 4 --- Fuel expense - March 31, 1999 $86 Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $124 million (52%) for the |
quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This decline primarily reflects decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to others as a result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, decreased $18 million (18%), when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an decrease in the average cost per mcf of gas purchased.
Other Operation and Maintenance
The components of other operation and maintenance expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Other operation $ 84 $ 82 Maintenance 24 19 --- --- Total $108 $101 |
Maintenance expenses increased $5 million (26%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to an increase in maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain production facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
The components of depreciation and amortization expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Depreciation $43 $41 Amortization of phase-in deferrals 7 6 Amortization of post-in-service deferred operating expenses 1 1 --- --- Total $51 $48 |
Depreciation expense increased $2 million (5%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to additions to depreciable plant.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily due to an increase in interest income and an increase in allowance for equity funds used during construction resulting from an increase in the equity rate applied and an increase in construction expenditures subject to allowance.
Interest
The decrease in interest expense of $2 million (9%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, was due to decreases in both interest on long-term debt and other interest expense. The decrease in interest expense on long-term debt is primarily due to a net redemption of approximately $90 million of long-term debt during the period of March 1998 through February 1999. The decrease in other interest expense was due to a reduction in average short-term borrowings and lower short-term interest rates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Operating Revenues
The components of operating revenues and the related kwh sales are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 Revenue Kwh Sales 1999 1998 1999 1998 ($ and kwh in millions) Retail $318 $297 6,393 6,239 Sales for resale 157 287 6,282 12,185 Other 7 8 N/A N/A ---- ---- ------ ------ Total $482 $592 12,675 18,424 |
Operating revenues decreased $110 million (19%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, when compared to the same period for 1998. This decrease was primarily due to decreased volumes on non-firm power sales for resale transactions related to Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations. Partially offsetting the decline was an increase in the average price per kwh for retail customers and higher retail and firm power kwh sales resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers and a return to more normal weather in the first quarter of 1999, as compared to 1998.
Operating Expenses
Fuel and Purchased and Exchanged Power
The components of fuel and purchased and exchanged power are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Fuel $107 $ 92 Purchased and exchanged power 128 261 ---- ---- Total $235 $353 |
Fuel costs increased $15 million (16%) for the first quarter of 1999, as compared to the same period last year.
An analysis of fuel costs is shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 (in millions) Fuel expense - March 31, 1998 $ 92 Increase (Decrease) due to change in: Price of fuel (3) Deferred fuel cost 12 Kwh generation 6 ---- Fuel expense - March 31, 1999 $107 |
Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased $133 million (51%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This decline primarily reflects decreased purchases of non-firm power for resale to others as a result of a decline in sales for resale volumes in Cinergy's energy marketing and trading operations.
Other Operation and Maintenance
The components of other operation and maintenance expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in millions) Other operation $ 88 $ 82 Maintenance 25 20 ---- ---- Total $113 $102 |
Other operation expense increased $6 million (7%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to the estimated loss on a specific customer account.
Maintenance expense increased $5 million (25%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to an increase in maintenance activities associated with planned outages at certain production facilities.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily attributable to a decrease in interest income.
Interest
The $2 million (7%) decrease in interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily due to a decrease in other interest expense resulting from a reduction in average short-term borrowings and lower short-term interest rates. Partially offsetting the decrease was an increase in interest expense on long-term debt resulting from the net issuance of approximately $144 million of long-term debt during the period from March 1998 through December 1998.
Preferred Dividend Requirement
The decrease in preferred dividend requirement of $1 million (48%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily attributable to PSI's redemption of all outstanding shares of its 7.44% Series Cumulative Preferred Stock on March 1, 1998.

THE UNION LIGHT, HEAT AND POWER COMPANY
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1999
Operating Revenues
Electric Operating Revenues
Electric operating revenues increased $2 million (5%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This increase primarily reflects a return to more normal weather conditions, as compared to the same period in 1998, and higher retail kwh sales resulting from growth in the average number of residential and commercial customers.
Gas Operating Revenues
The components of gas operating revenues and the related mcf sales are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 Revenue Mcf Sales 1999 1998 1999 1998 ($ and mcf in thousands) Retail $31,555 $27,266 5,219 4,491 Transportation 1,445 1,214 1,078 1,106 ------- ------- ----- ----- Total $33,000 $28,480 6,297 5,597 |
Gas operating revenues increased $5 million (16%) in the first quarter of 1999, when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a increase in mcf volumes sold, a return to more normal weather conditions, and an increase in the number of customers.
Operating Expenses
Electricity Purchased from Parent Company for Resale
Electricity purchased increased $3 million (8%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year. This increase reflects higher volumes purchased from CG&E.
Gas Purchased
Gas purchased for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, increased $1 million (6%), when compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in the volumes of gas purchased, due to higher demand and an increase in the number of customers.
Other Operation and Maintenance
The components of other operation and maintenance expenses are shown below:
Quarter Ended March 31 1999 1998 (in thousands) Other operation $ 8,948 $8,135 Maintenance 1,242 1,295 ------- ------- Total $10,190 $9,430 |
Other operation expenses increased $.8 million (10%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in administrative and general activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation increased $.3 million (10%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, due to additions to depreciable plant.
Other Income and (Expenses) - Net
The change in other income and (expenses) - net of $.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period of 1998, is primarily attributable to an increase in miscellaneous non-utility revenues.
Interest
The increase in interest expense of $.4 million (40%) for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, as compared to the same period last year, was primarily due to the net issuance of approximately $30 million of long-term debt during the period of April 1998 through December 1998.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

4. Cinergy'senergy marketing and trading operations, conducted primarily through its ECBU, markets and trades electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products. The power marketing and trading operation has both physical and trading activities. Generation not required to meet native load requirements is available to be sold to third parties, either under long-term contracts, such as full requirements transactions or firm forward sales contracts, or in short-term and spot market transactions. When transactions are entered into, each transaction is designated as either a physical or trading transaction. In order for a transaction to be designated as physical, there must be intent and ability to physically deliver the power from company-owned generation. Physical transactions are accounted for on a settlement basis. All other transactions are considered trading transactions and are accounted for using the mark-to-market method of accounting. Under the mark-to-market method of accounting, these trading transactions are reflected at fair value as "Energy risk management assets" and "Energy risk management liabilities." Changes in fair value, resulting in unrealized gains and losses, are reflected in "Fuel and purchased and exchanged power." Revenues and costs for all transactions are recorded gross in
the Consolidated Statements of Income as contracts are settled. Revenues are recognized in "Operating Revenues - Electric" and costs are recorded in "Fuel and purchased and exchanged power."
Although physical transactions are entered with the intent and ability to settle the contract with company-owned generation, it is likely, that from time to time, due to numerous factors such as generating station outages, native load requirements, and weather, power used to settle the physical transactions will be required to be purchased on the open market. Depending on the factors giving rise to these open market purchases, the cost of such purchases could be in excess of the associated revenues. Losses such as this will be recognized as the power is delivered. In addition, physical contracts are subject to permanent impairment tests. At March 31, 1999, management has concluded that no physical contracts are impaired.
Prior to December 31, 1998, the transactions now included in the trading portfolio were accounted for and valued at the aggregate lower of cost or market. Under this method, only the net value of the entire portfolio was recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Contracts in the trading portfolio are valued at end-of-period market prices, utilizing factors such as closing exchange prices, broker and over-the-counter quotations, and model pricing. Model pricing considers time value and volatility factors underlying any options and contractual commitments. Management expects that some of these obligations, even though considered as trading contracts, will ultimately be settled from time to time by using company-owned generation. The cost of this generation is typically below the market prices at which the trading portfolio has been valued.
Because of the volatility currently experienced in the power markets, and the factors discussed above pertaining to both the physical and trading activities, volatility in future earnings (losses) from period to period in the ECBU is likely.
Cinergy's ECBU also physically markets natural gas and trades natural gas and other energy-related products. All of these operations are accounted for on the mark-to-market method of accounting. Revenues and costs from physical marketing are recorded gross in the Consolidated Statements of Income as contracts are settled due to the exchanging of title to the natural gas throughout the earnings process. All non-physical transactions are recorded net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Energy risk management assets and liabilities and gross margins from these trading activities currently are not significant.
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
5. Cinergy and its subsidiaries use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to foreign currency exchange rates, lower funding costs, and manage exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. Instruments used as hedges must be designated as a hedge at the inception of the contract and must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. Accordingly, changes in market values of designated hedge instruments must be highly correlated with changes in market values of the underlying hedged items at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract.
Cinergy and its subsidiaries utilize foreign exchange forward contracts and currency swaps to hedge certain of its net investments in foreign operations. Accordingly, any translation gains or losses related to the foreign exchange forward contracts or the principal exchange on the currency swap are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss," which is a separate component of common stock equity. Aggregate translation losses related to these instruments are reflected in "Current Liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Interest rate swaps are accounted for under the accrual method. Accordingly, gains and losses based on any interest differential between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts, calculated on agreed upon notional principal amounts, are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of interest expense as realized over the life of the agreement.

6. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, prior to the 1950s, gas was produced at MGP sites through a process that involved the heating of coal and/or oil. The gas produced from this process was sold for residential, commercial, and industrial uses.
Cinergy and PSI
Coal tar residues, related hydrocarbons, and various metals associated with MGP sites have been found at former MGP sites in Indiana, including at least 21 MGP sites which PSI or its predecessors previously owned. PSI acquired four of the sites from NIPSCO in 1931 and at the same time it sold NIPSCO the sites located in Goshen and Warsaw, Indiana. In 1945, PSI sold 19 of these sites (including the four it acquired from NIPSCO) to Indiana Gas and Water Company, Inc. (now IGC). One of the 19 sites, located in Rochester, Indiana, was later sold by IGC to NIPSCO.
IGC and NIPSCO both made claims against PSI, contending that PSI is a Potentially Responsible Party under the CERCLA with respect to the 21 MGP sites, and therefore legally responsible for the costs of investigating and remediating these sites. Moreover, in August 1997, NIPSCO filed suit against PSI in federal court, claiming, pursuant to CERCLA, recovery from PSI of NIPSCO's past and future costs of investigating and remediating MGP related contamination at the Goshen MGP site.
In November 1998, NIPSCO, IGC, and PSI entered into a Site Participation and Cost Sharing Agreement by which they settled allocation of CERCLA liability for past and future costs, among the three companies, at seven MGP sites in Indiana. Pursuant to this agreement, NIPSCO's lawsuit against PSI was dismissed. The parties have assigned one of the parties lead responsibility for managing further investigation and remediation activities at each of the sites. Similar agreements were reached between IGC and PSI which allocate CERCLA liability at 14 MGP sites with which NIPSCO had no involvement. These agreements conclude all CERCLA and similar claims between the three companies relative to MGP sites. Pursuant to the agreements and applicable laws, the parties are continuing to investigate and remediate the sites as appropriate. Investigation and cleanup of some of the sites is subject to oversight by the IDEM.
PSI has placed its insurance carriers on notice of IGC's, NIPSCO's, and the IDEM's claims related to MGP sites. In April 1998, PSI filed suit in Hendricks County Circuit Court against its general liability insurance carriers seeking, among other matters, a declaratory judgment that its insurance carriers are obligated to defend MGP claims against PSI or pay PSI's costs of defense and to indemnify PSI for its costs of investigating, preventing, mitigating, and remediating damage to
property and paying claims associated with MGP sites. PSI cannot predict the outcome of this litigation.
Based upon the work performed to date, PSI has accrued costs for the sites related to investigation, remediation, and groundwater monitoring. Estimated costs of certain remedial activities are accrued when such costs are reasonably estimable. PSI does not believe it can provide an estimate of the reasonably possible total remediation costs for any site prior to completion of a remedial investigation/feasibility study and the development of some sense of the timing for the implementation of the potential remedial alternatives, to the extent such remediation may be required. Accordingly, the total costs that may be incurred in connection with the remediation of all sites, to the extent remediation is necessary, cannot be determined at this time. These future costs at the 21 Indiana MGP sites, based on information currently available, are not material to Cinergy's financial condition or results of operations. However, as further investigation and remediation activities are undertaken at these sites, the potential liability for the 21 MGP sites could be material to Cinergy's and PSI's financial condition or results of operations.
Cinergy, CG&E, and ULH&P
CG&E and its utility subsidiaries are aware of potential sites where MGP activities have occurred at some time in the past. None of these sites is known to present a risk to the environment. CG&E and its utility subsidiaries have undertaken preliminary site assessments to obtain more information about some of these MGP sites.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
7. During the second quarter of 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133. The new standard requires companies to record derivative instruments, as defined in Statement 133, as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value. The Statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document, designate, and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting treatment. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999, and Cinergy expects to adopt the provisions of Statement 133 in the first quarter of 2000.
The Company has not yet quantified the impacts of adopting Statement 133 on its consolidated financial statements. However, Statement 133 could increase volatility in earnings and other comprehensive income.
Cinergy Presented below is a reconciliation of earnings per common share (basic EPS) and earnings per common share assuming dilution (diluted EPS). Income Shares Earnings (Numerator) (Denominator) Per Share (In thousands, except per share amounts) Quarter ended March 31, 1999 Earnings per common share: Net income $127,245 158,746 $ .80 Effect of dilutive securities: Common stock options 412 Contingently issuable common stock 13 EPS--assuming dilution: Net income plus assumed conversions $127,245 159,171 $ .80 Quarter ended March 31, 1998 Earnings per common share: Net income $106,071 157,764 $ .67 Effect of dilutive securities: Common stock options 787 Contingently issuable common stock 123 EPS--assuming dilution: Net income plus assumed conversions $106,071 158,674 $ .67 |

Cinergy
9. Midlands (of which the Company owns 50%) has a 40% ownership interest in a 586 MW power project in Pakistan ("Uch project" or "Uch") which as originally scheduled to begin commercial operation in late 1998. In July 1998, the Pakistani government-owned utility issued a notice of intent to terminate certain key project agreements relative to the Uch project. The notice asserted that various forms of corruption were involved in the original granting of the agreements to the Uch investors by a predecessor government. The Company believes that this notice is similar to notices received by a number of other independent power projects in Pakistan.
The Uch investors, including a subsidiary of Midlands, strongly deny the allegations and have pursued all available legal options to enforce their contractual rights under the project agreements. Physical construction of the project is complete; however, commercial operations have been delayed pending resolution of the dispute. In December 1998, the Pakistani government offered to withdraw its notice.
Through its 50% ownership of Midlands, the Company's current investment in the Uch project is approximately $36 million. In addition, project lenders could require investors to make additional capital contributions to the project under certain conditions. The Company's share of these additional contributions is approximately $8 million. At the present time, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.
Cinergy and PSI
10. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, PSI and Dynegy (formerly Destec) entered into a 25-year contractual agreement for the provision of coal gasification services in November 1995. The agreement requires PSI to pay Dynegy a base monthly fee including certain monthly operating expenses. PSI received authorization in the September 1996 Order for the inclusion of these costs in retail rates. In addition, PSI received authorization to defer, for subsequent recovery in retail rates, the base monthly fees and expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the September 1996 Order. Over the next five years, the base monthly fees and expenses for the coal gasification service agreement are expected to total $201 million.
During the third quarter of 1998, PSI reached an agreement with Dynegy to purchase the remainder of its 25-year contract for coal gasification services for $265.7 million. The proposed purchase, which is contingent upon regulatory approval satisfactory to PSI, could be completed in 1999. PSI is investigating financing alternatives. The transaction, if approved as proposed, is not expected to have a material impact on PSI's earnings.
Currently, natural gas prices have fallen to a level which causes the synthetic gas supply taken under the current gasification services agreement to be substantially above market. If the buyout of the gasification services agreement is approved, the combustion turbine will be fired with natural gas, or with synthetic gas if it can be produced at a cost competitive with natural gas.
11. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, the collective-bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 1393, covering approximately 1,470 employees, expired on May 1, 1999. A new labor agreement was ratified April 22, 1999, and is effective from May 1, 1999, through April 30, 2002.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
12. As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, during 1998, Cinergy and its subsidiaries adopted the provisions of Statement 131. During the first quarter of 1999, Cinergy reorganized its reportable segments. The business unit structure effective with that reorganization is described below.
The ECBU operates and maintains, exclusive of certain jointly-owned plant, all of the Company's domestic electric generation facilities. In addition to the production of electric power, all energy risk management, marketing, and proprietary arbitrage trading, with the exception of electric and gas retail sales, is conducted through the ECBU. Revenues from external customers are derived from the ECBU's marketing, trading, and risk management activities. Intersegment revenues are derived from the sale of electric power to the EDBU.
The EDBU plans, constructs, operates, and maintains the Company's transmission and distribution systems and provides gas and electric energy to end users. Revenues from customers other than end users are primarily derived from the transmission of electric power through the Company's transmission system.
The CIBU manages the development, sales, and marketing of domestic, non-regulated wholesale energy and energy-related products and services. Most of the CIBU's revenues are derived from the sales of such products and services to external, end-use customers. In addition, some of the CIBU's activities are conducted through joint-venture affiliates, including the construction and sale or lease of cogeneration and trigeneration facilities to large commercial/industrial customers and energy management services to third parties.
The IBU directs and manages all of the Company's international business holdings, which include wholly-owned subsidiaries and equity investments. Revenues and equity earnings from unconsolidated companies are primarily derived from energy-related businesses.
Transfer pricing for sales of electric energy and sales of electric and gas transmission and distribution services between the ECBU and EDBU are derived from the operating utilities' retail and wholesale rate structures.
Financial results by business unit for the quarters ended March 31, 1999, and 1998, and Total Segments Assets at March 31, 1999, and December 31, 1998, are as follows: 1999 All Reconciling Cinergy Business Units Other Eliminations ECBU EDBU CIBU IBU Total (1) (2) Consolidated ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Operating Revenues - External Customers $ 503,638 $ 868,367 $17,400 $ 12,874 $1,402,279 $ - $ - $1,402,279 Intersegment Revenues 456,536 - - - 456,536 - (456,536) - Segment Profit (Loss) Before Taxes 83,317 102,754 (2,729) 24,136 207,478 (1,305) - 206,173 Total Segment Assets at March 31, 1999 $5,081,083 $3,897,368 $46,876 $789,840 $9,815,167 $30,981 $ - $9,846,148 1998 All Reconciling Cinergy Business Units Other Eliminations ECBU EDBU CIBU IBU Total (1) (2) Consolidated ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (in thousands) Operating Revenues - External Customers $ 502,098 $ 832,452 $13,765 $ 146 $ 1,348,461 $ - $ - $ 1,348,461 Intersegment Revenues 434,931 - - - 434,931 - (434,931) - Segment Profit (Loss) Before Taxes 91,153 90,572 (3,268) (961) 177,496 (11,554) - 165,942 Total Segment Assets at December 31, 1998 $5,474,428 $3,987,055 $42,107 $751,861 $10,255,451 $ 43,344 $ - $10,298,795 1.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION Matters discussed in
this "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" in "Part I. Financial Information" reflect and elucidate
Cinergy's corporate vision of the future and, as a part of that, outline goals
and aspirations, as well as specific projections. These goals and projections
are considered forward-looking statements and are based on management's beliefs,
as well as certain assumptions made by management. Forward-looking statements
involve risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements. In addition to any assumptions
and other factors that are referred to specifically in connection with these
statements, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those indicated in any forward-looking statements include, among others:
factors generally affecting operations, such as unusual weather conditions,
unscheduled generation outages; unusual maintenance or repairs, unanticipated
changes in fuel costs, environmental incidents, or system constraints;
legislative and regulatory initiatives regarding deregulation and restructuring
of the industry; increased competition in the electric and gas utility
environment; challenges related to Year 2000 readiness; regulatory factors;
changes in accounting principles or policies; adverse political, legal, or
economic conditions; changing market conditions; success of efforts to invest in
and develop new opportunities in non-traditional business; availability or cost
of capital; employee workforce factors; legal and regulatory delays and other
obstacles associated with mergers, acquisitions, and investments in joint
ventures; costs and effects of legal and administrative proceedings; changes in
legislative requirements; and other risks. The SEC's rules do not require
forward-looking statements to be revised or updated, and Cinergy does not intend
to do so.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Recent Developments
Cinergy
Acquisitions During the first quarter of 1999, Cinergy, through its
international subsidiaries, invested an additional $41 million in international
unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Competitive Pressures
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Ohio As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, electric restructuring legislation was
reintroduced in 1999 in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly. These
companion bills propose to give choice to all retail electric customers by
January 1, 2001. As written, the legislation has not gained consensus among the
stakeholders.
The Ohio Senate Ways and Means Committee has scheduled a vote on a deregulation bill during the second quarter of 1999 with a full senate vote scheduled if a bill is reported from committee. It is uncertain whether these efforts will produce legislation in Ohio in 1999.
Indiana As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, legislation by a large group of industrial customers was introduced into the Indiana legislature in January 1999. This legislation did not pass in the 1999 session of the Indiana General Assembly, which came to a close on April 29, 1999.

Environmental Issues
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
Ozone Transport Rulemaking As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in October 1998,
the EPA finalized its Ozone Transport Rule (or NOx SIP Call). It applies to 22
states in the eastern half of the US, including the three states in which the
Cinergy electric utilities operate, and also proposes a model NOx trading
program. This rule recommends that states reduce NOx emissions from primarily
industrial and utility sources to a certain limit by May 2003. The EPA gave the
affected states until September 30, 1999, to incorporate utility NOx reductions
with a trading program into their SIPs. Ohio, Indiana, a number of other states,
and various industry groups, including some of which Cinergy is a member, filed
legal challenges to the NOx SIP Call in late 1998. Ohio and Indiana have also
provided preliminary indications that they will seek fewer NOx reductions from
the utility sector in their implementing regulations than the EPA has budgeted
in its rulemaking.
On April 30, 1999, the EPA made an affirmative technical determination on the
February 1998 northeast state CAAA Section 126 petitions seeking to reduce ozone
in the eastern US. By affirming these Section 126 petitions the EPA makes a
finding that the named Midwest stationary sources (including all of Cinergy's
facilities) are significantly contributing to ozone problems in the northeast
for both the one- and eight-hour ozone standard. The EPA has stated that the
Section 126 petitions and the NOx SIP call requirements should be coordinated.
Therefore, the EPA will defer fully granting the relief sought by petitioners
until the affected states file their proposed SIPs in September 1999.
Ambient Air Standards and Regional Haze As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in 1997, the EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and fine particulate matter and was scheduled to finalize new regional haze rules by the summer of 1999. It is currently anticipated that the new ozone standard will not require additional utility NOx reductions beyond those resulting from the NOx SIP Call discussed above.
The EPA finalized the new regional haze rules on April 22, 1999. These rules established planning and emission reduction timelines for states to use to improve visibility in national parks throughout the US. The ultimate effect of the new regional haze rules could be requirements for newer and cleaner technologies and additional controls on conventional particulates and/or reductions in SO2 and NOx emissions from utility sources. If more utility emissions reductions are required, the compliance cost could be significant. The outcome or effects of the states' determination cannot currently be predicted.
Air Toxics As discussed in the 1998 Form 10-K, in November 1998, the EPA finalized its Mercury ICR. Pursuant to the ICR, all generating units must provide detailed information about coal use and mercury content. The EPA has since selected about 100 generating units for one-time stack sampling, including Cinergy's Gibson Unit No. 3 and the Wabash River Repowering Project. The EPA is planning to make its regulatory determination on the need for additional regulation by the fourth quarter of 2000. If more air toxics regulations are issued, the compliance cost could be significant. The outcome or effects of the EPA's determination cannot currently be predicted.

Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
Energy Commodities Sensitivity The Company markets and trades electricity,
natural gas, and other energy-related products. The Company utilizes
over-the-counter forward and option contracts for the purchase and sale of
electricity and also trades exchange-traded futures contracts. See Notes 4 and 5
of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for
the Company's accounting policies for certain derivative instruments. The
Company's market risks have not changed materially from the market risks
reported in the 1998 Form 10-K.
Cinergy
Exchange Rate Sensitivity The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward
contracts and currency swaps to hedge certain of its net investments in foreign
operations. See Notes 4 and 5 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I.
Financial Information" for the Company's accounting policies for certain
derivative instruments. The Company's market risks have not changed materially
from the market risks reported in the 1998 Form 10-K.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Interest Rate Sensitivity The Company's net exposure to changes in interest
rates primarily consists of debt instruments with floating interest rates that
are benchmarked to various market indices. To manage the Company's exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates and to lower funding costs, the Company
constantly evaluates the use of, and has entered into, interest rate swaps. See
Notes 4 and 5 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial
Information" for the Company's accounting policies for certain derivative
instruments. The Company's market risks have not changed materially from the
market risks reported in the 1998 Form 10-K.

Long-term Debt For information regarding recent issuances and redemptions of
long-term debt securities, see Notes 2 and 3 of the "Notes to Financial
Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information."
As of April 30, 1999, CG&E and PSI have remaining state regulatory authority for long-term debt issuance of $200 million and $30 million, respectively.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Short-term Debt Obligations representing notes payable and other short-term
obligations (excluding notes payable to affiliated companies) at March 31, 1999,
were as follows:
Cinergy Established Lines Outstanding (in millions) Cinergy Committed lines Acquisition line $ 160 $ 160 Revolving line 600 - Commercial paper - 336 Uncommitted line 45 83* Utility subsidiaries Committed lines 215 - Uncommitted lines 410 180 Pollution control notes 267 267 Non-utility subsidiary 130 27 ------ ------ Total $1,827 $1,053 |
* Excess over Established Line represents amount sold by dealers to other investors.
CG&E
Established Lines Outstanding (in millions) Committed lines $ 85 $ - Uncommitted lines 215 105 Pollution control notes 184 184 ---- ---- Total $484 $289 PSI Established Lines Outstanding (in millions) Committed lines $130 $ - Uncommitted lines 195 75 Pollution control notes 83 83 ---- ---- Total $408 $158 |
Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI
Cinergy's committed lines are comprised of an acquisition line and a revolving
line. The established revolving line also provides credit support for Cinergy's
commercial paper program, which is limited to a maximum principal amount of $400
million. The proceeds from the commercial paper sales were used for general
corporate purposes.
The established committed lines for CG&E and PSI each include $75 million designated as backup for certain of the uncommitted lines at March 31, 1999. CG&E and PSI also have the capacity to issue commercial paper that must be supported by committed lines of the respective company. Neither CG&E nor PSI issued commercial paper during the first quarter of 1999.
Both CG&E and PSI have issued variable rate pollution control notes. Holders of these pollution control notes have the right to put their notes on any business day. Accordingly, these issuances are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Notes payable and other short-term obligations."
Cinergy
Global Resources established a $100 million revolving credit agreement in 1998,
which was due to expire in March 1999 and has been extended to June 29, 1999.
Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P
Year 2000 The Year 2000 issue generally exists because many computer systems and
applications, including those embedded in equipment and facilities, use
two-digit rather than four-digit date fields to designate an applicable year. As
a result, the systems and applications may not properly recognize dates
including and beyond the year 2000 or accurately process data in which such
dates are included, potentially causing data miscalculations and inaccuracies or
operational malfunctions and failures, which could materially affect a
business's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Cinergy has established a centrally-managed, company-wide initiative, known as the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, to identify, evaluate, and address Year 2000 issues. The Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, which began in the fourth quarter of 1996, is generally focused on three elements that are integral to this initiative: (1) business continuity, (2) risk management, and (3) regulatory compliance. Business continuity includes providing reliable electric and gas supply and service in a safe and cost-effective manner. This element encompasses mission-critical generation, transmission, and distribution systems and related infrastructure, as well as operational and financial IT systems and applications, end-user computing resources, and building systems (such as security, elevator, and heating and cooling systems). Risk management includes a review of the Year 2000 readiness efforts of Cinergy's critical suppliers, key customers and other principal business partners, and, as appropriate, the development of joint business support, contingency plans, and the inclusion of Year 2000 concerns as a regular part of the due diligence process in any new business venture. Regulatory compliance includes communications with regulatory agencies, other utilities, and various industry groups. While this initiative is broad in scope, it has been structured to identify and prioritize efforts for mission-critical electric and gas systems and services and key business partners.
Under the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program, Cinergy has established a target date of June 30, 1999, for the remediation and testing of its mission-critical generation, transmission, and distribution systems (gas and electric). An innovative remediation and testing effort which Cinergy has initiated involves operating several electric-generating units with post Year 2000 dates. Cinergy's experience has been that those units have continued to operate without any material adverse result relating to a Year 2000 issue. Cinergy's progress to date ranges from approximately 95% regarding IT systems to approximately 87% regarding assessment of critical suppliers.
Cinergy has also reviewed its existing contingency and business continuity plans and modified them in light of the Year 2000 issue. Contingency planning to maintain and restore service in the event of natural and other disasters (including software- and hardware-related problems) has been part of Cinergy's standard operation for many years, and Cinergy is working to leverage this experience in the review of existing plans to address Year 2000-related challenges. These reviews have assessed the potential for business disruption in various scenarios, including the most reasonably likely worst-case scenario, and to provide for key operational back up, recovery, and restoration alternatives.
Cinergy cannot guarantee that third parties on whom it depends for essential goods and services (those where the interruption of the supply of such goods and services could lead to issues involving the safety of employees, customers, or the public; the continued reliable delivery of gas and/or electricity; and the ability to comply with applicable laws or regulations) will convert their mission-critical systems and processes in a timely manner. Failure or delay by any of these third parties could significantly disrupt business. However, to address this issue, Cinergy has established a supplier compliance program, and is working with its critical suppliers in an effort to minimize such risks.
In addition, Cinergy is coordinating its findings and other issues with other utilities and various industry groups via the Electric Power Research Institute Year 2000 Embedded Systems Project and the Year 2000 Readiness Assessment Program of the NERC, acting at the request of the DOE. The DOE has asked NERC to report on the integrity of the transmission system for North America and to coordinate and assess the preparation of the electric systems in North America for the Year 2000. NERC submitted its initial quarterly status report and coordination plan to the DOE in September 1998, and a second quarterly status report for the fourth quarter of 1998 was submitted on January 11, 1999. A third quarterly status report for the first quarter of 1999 was submitted on April 30, 1999.
Cinergy currently estimates that the total cost for the inventory, assessment, remediation, testing, and upgrading of its systems as a result of the Year 2000 effort is approximately $13 million. Approximately $12 million in expenses have been incurred through March 31, 1999, for such things as external labor, for hardware and software upgrades, and for Cinergy employees who are dedicated full-time to the Cinergy Year 2000 Readiness Program. The timing of these expenses may vary and is not necessarily indicative of readiness efforts or progress to date. Cinergy anticipates that a portion of its Year 2000 expenses will not be incremental costs, but rather, will represent the redeployment of existing IT resources. Since its formation, Cinergy has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant capital improvement costs related to planned system upgrades or replacements required in the normal course of business. These costs have not been accelerated as a result of the Year 2000 issue.
The above information is based on Cinergy's current best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of future events, including the availability and future costs of certain technological and other resources, third-party modification actions, and other factors. Given the complexity of these issues and possible unidentified risks, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated and discussed above. Specific factors that might cause such differences include, among others, the ability to locate and correct all affected computer code, the timing and success of remedial efforts of third-party suppliers, and similar uncertainties.
The above information is a Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure pursuant to the Federal Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act.
Cinergy
Other Commitments At March 31, 1999, Cinergy had issued $297 million in
guarantees primarily related to the energy marketing and trading activities of
its subsidiaries and affiliates. In addition, Cinergy had guaranteed $258
million of the debt securities of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

FIFTY-SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE dated as of the thirtieth day of April, 1999, made and entered into by and between PSI ENERGY, INC. (hereinafter commonly referred to as the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Indiana, formerly named Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc., and the successor by consolidation to Public Service Company of Indiana, an Indiana corporation, party of the first part, and LASALLE NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States and having its office or place of business in the City of Chicago, State of Illinois and the successor trustee to The First National Bank of Chicago (hereinafter commonly referred to as the "Trustee"), party of the second part,
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Public Service Company of Indiana (hereinafter commonly referred to as the "Initial Mortgagor"), prior to its consolidation with certain other corporations to form the Company, executed and delivered to the Trustee a certain indenture of mortgage or deed of trust (hereinafter called the "original Indenture" when referred to as existing prior to any amendment thereto, and the "Indenture" when referred to as heretofore, now or hereafter amended), dated September 1, 1939, and a First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as of March 1, 1941, to secure the bonds of the Initial Mortgagor, its successors and assigns, issued from time to time under the Indenture in series for the purposes of and subject to the limitations specified in the Indenture; and
WHEREAS, the Company on September 6, 1941, became, through a consolidation, the successor of the Initial Mortgagor (and four other companies) and succeeded to all the rights and became liable for all the obligations of the Initial Mortgagor (and such other companies); and

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS, SERIES DDD, 8.31%, DUE SEPTEMBER 1, 2032
Section 1. There are hereby created a forty-seventh, a forty-eighth and a forty-ninth series of bonds to be issued under and secured by the Indenture, to be designated as "PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series BBB, 8%, Due July 15, 2009", "PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series CCC, 8.85%, Due January 15, 2022" and "PSI Energy, Inc.

Section 2. The following provisions shall apply to the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD.
(a) The Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD shall be issued in fully registered form only. However, except as provided elsewhere in this Section, the registered owner of all of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD initially shall be The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee, and such Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD initially shall be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee. Payment of the principal of or interest on Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD registered in the name of DTC or its nominee shall be made in the manner and at the address(es) specified in the Letter of Representations, dated April 30, 1999, from the Company and the Trustee to DTC. DTC (and any successor securities depository) and its (or their) participating institutions (collectively "Participants") shall maintain a book-entry registration and transfer system with respect to ownership of beneficial interests in the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD (the "Book-Entry System").
(b) The Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD, initially shall be issued in the form of a separate, single, authenticated, fully registered bond for each such series (each a "Global Debt Security") which (i) need not be in the form of a lithographed or engraved certificate, but may be typewritten or printed on ordinary paper or such paper as the Trustee may reasonably request, (ii) shall represent and be denominated in an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable) issued under this Supplemental Indenture, (iii) shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (iv) shall be registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, and delivered to DTC or its nominee or a custodian therefor, and (v) shall contain the following legend on the face thereof:
Unless this certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC"), to issuer or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co or in such other name as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered holder hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable) in definitive certificated form, a Global Debt Security representing the Bonds of a particular Series may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC to a nominee of DTC or by a nominee of DTC to DTC or another nominee of DTC or by DTC or any such nominee to a successor securities depository or a nominee of any such successor securities depository.
(c) The Trustee and the Company may treat Cede & Co. or its nominee, or any successor securities depository or nominee thereof (collectively, the "Depository") as the sole and exclusive owner of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD, registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), giving any notice permitted or required to be given to holders of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), under the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, registering the transfer of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD, obtaining any consent or other action to be taken by holders of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), and for all other purposes whatsoever and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any registrar nor any paying agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to any Participant, any person claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable) under or through the Depository or any Participant, or any other person which is not shown on the registration books as being a holder of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable) with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by the Depository or any Participant; (ii) the payment by the Depository to any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal or redemption price of or interest on the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable); (iii) the payment by any Participant to any owner of a beneficial ownership interest in the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), in respect of the principal of or interest on the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable) or (iv) any consent or other action taken by the Depository as owner of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable). The Trustee shall pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), only to or upon the order of the registered holder or holders of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), as shown on the registration books, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Company's obligations with respect to the principal or redemption price of and interest on the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a holder of the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, or DDD (as applicable), as shown on the registration books of DTC, shall receive an authenticated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Company to make payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD, pursuant to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee for Cede & Co, and subject to the provisions of the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture, the word "Cede & Co.", as used in this Supplemental Indenture, shall refer to each new nominee of DTC.
(d) In the event that after the occurrence of an event of default that has not been cured or waived, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the beneficial interests in the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD (as applicable), as reflected in the books and records of the Depository, notify the Trustee, through the Depository or any Participant, that the continuation of the Book-Entry System is no longer in the best interests of such holders of beneficial interests in the Bonds of such Series, then the Trustee shall notify the Depository and the Company, and the Depository will notify the Participants of the availability through the Depository of definitive certificated Bonds of such Series. In such event, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company, signed by its President or a Vice President and by its Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant Secretary (an "Issue Order"), for the authentication and delivery of definitive certificated Bonds of Series BBB, Bonds of Series CCC, and Bonds Series DDD (as applicable), will authenticate and deliver Bonds of such Series in definitive certificated form, in any authorized denominations, all pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, to the person or persons specified to the Trustee in writing by the Depository in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Debt Security or Securities and in exchange for such Global Debt Security or Securities.
(e) If at any time the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD, or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be registered as a clearing agency in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company may appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Bonds of such Series. If a successor Depository for the Bonds of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive certificated Bonds of Series BBB, Bonds of Series CCC, and Bonds of Series DDD (as applicable), will authenticate and deliver Bonds of such Series in definitive certificated form, in any authorized denominations, all pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, to the person or persons specified to the Trustee in writing by the Depository in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Debt Security or Securities and in exchange for such Global Debt Security or Securities.
(f) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD shall no longer be represented by a Global Debt Security. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive certificated Bonds of such Series, will authenticate and deliver Bonds of Series BBB, Bonds of Series CCC, and Bonds of Series DDD (as applicable) in definitive certificated form, in any authorized denominations, all pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, to the person or persons specified to the Trustee in writing by the Depository in the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Global Debt Security and in exchange for such Global Debt Security or Securities.
(g) Upon the exchange of a Global Debt Security for the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD in definitive certificated form, in authorized denominations, the applicable Global Debt Security or Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee.
(h) Whenever the Depository requests the Company and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee and the Company will cooperate with the Depository in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to (i) make available one or more separate Global Debt Securities evidencing the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD to any Participant having Bonds of such Series credited to its account at the Depository, or (ii) arrange for another Depository to maintain custody of the Global Debt Security or Securities evidencing the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD.
(i) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to holders of the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD pursuant to the Indenture and this Supplemental Indenture by the Company or the Trustee with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by holders of the Bonds of such Series, the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or other action and give the Depository notice of such record date not less than 15 calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible. Such notice to the Depository shall be given only so long as a Depository or its nominee is the sole holder of the Bonds of Series BBB, the Bonds of Series CCC, or the Bonds of Series DDD (as applicable).
The Bonds of Series BBB, CCC, and DDD and the Trustee's certificate of each such series to be endorsed thereon shall be substantially in the following forms, respectively:

(FORM OF REVERSE OF SERIES BBB BOND)
This bond is one of the bonds of the Company issued and to be issued from time to time under and in accordance with and all secured by an indenture of mortgage or deed of trust, dated September 1, 1939, from Public Service Company of Indiana (predecessor of the Company) to The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee, to which LaSalle National Bank is successor trustee, (which indenture as amended by all supplemental indentures is hereinafter referred to as the "Indenture"). Said Trustee or its successor in trust under the Indenture is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Trustee." Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a description of the property mortgaged and pledged and the nature and extent of the security for said bonds. By the terms of the Indenture, the bonds secured thereby are issuable in series which may vary as to date, amount, date of maturity, rate of interest and in other respects as in the Indenture provided.
This bond is one of a series designated as "PSI Energy, Inc. First Mortgage Bonds, Series BBB, 8%, Due July 15, 2009" (hereinafter referred to as "Bonds of Series BBB") of the Company issued under and secured by the Indenture and created by a Fifty-Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 30, 1999, which also amends the Indenture.
The rights and obligations of the Company and of the bearers and registered owners of bonds may be modified or amended with the consent of the Company by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of the bonds then outstanding at a meeting of bondholders called for the purpose (and by an affirmative vote of the bearers or registered owners entitled to vote of at least seventy-five per centum (75%) in principal amount of bonds of any series affected by such modification or amendment in case one or more, but less than all, series of bonds are so affected), all in the manner and subject to the limitations set forth in the Indenture, any consent by the bearer or registered owner of any bond being conclusive and binding upon such bearer or registered owner and upon all future bearers or registered owners of such bond, irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent is made on such bond; provided that no such modification or amendment shall, among other things, extend the maturity or reduce the amount of, or reduce the rate of interest on, or otherwise modify the terms of the payment of the principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on this bond, which obligations are absolute and unconditional, or permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or equal with the lien of the Indenture on any of the mortgaged property.
The Bonds of Series BBB will be subject to redemption (the "Make-Whole Redemption") at the option of the Company at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, until maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Bonds of Series BBB being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Bonds of Series BBB.
"Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any Make-Whole Redemption of any Bonds of Series BBB, the excess, if any, of (i) the sum, as determined by a Quotation Agent (as defined herein), of the present values of the principal amount of such Bonds of Series BBB, together with scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date to the stated maturity of the Bonds of Series BBB, in each case discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate (as defined herein) over (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds of Series BBB to be redeemed.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date for a Make-Whole Redemption, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (as defined herein), calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price (as defined herein) for such redemption date, calculated on the third business day preceding the redemption date, plus 0.15% (15 basis points).
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to the stated maturity of the Bonds of Series BBB that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of Series BBB.
"Quotation Agent" means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with the Company. "Reference Treasury Dealer" means a primary U.S. Government securities dealer.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date
for a Make-Whole Redemption, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) on the third business day preceding such redemption date, as
set forth in the daily statistical release designated "H.15" (or any successor
release) published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or
(ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published or does not
contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest
and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee
obtains fewer than three such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average
of such Quotations.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date for a Make-Whole Redemption, the average, as determined by the Trustee (after consultation with the Company), of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date.
Notice of any redemption by the Company will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any redemption date to each holder of Bonds of Series BBB to be redeemed. If less than all the Bonds of Series BBB are to be redeemed at the option of the Company, the Trustee shall select, in such manner as it shall deem fair and appropriate, the Bonds of Series BBB of such series to be redeemed in whole or in part.
Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, on and after any redemption date, interest will cease to accrue on the Bonds of Series BBB or portions thereof called for redemption.
In the case of any of certain events of default specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable prior to the stated date of maturity hereof in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this bond, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof or of the Indenture, to or against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor company, either directly or through the Company or such predecessor or successor company, under any constitution or statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, shareholders, directors and officers being waived and released by the registered owner hereof by the acceptance of this bond and being likewise waived and released by the terms of the Indenture.
The Bonds of Series BBB are issuable only in registered form without coupons. This bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person or by attorney duly authorized, at the principal office or place of business of LaSalle National Bank, the Trustee, or its successor in trust under the Indenture, or, at the option of the registered owner, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, State of New York, upon the surrender and cancellation of this bond, and upon any such transfer a new registered bond or bonds of the same series and maturity date and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor.

The Bonds of Series CCC will be subject to redemption (the "Make-Whole Redemption") at the option of the Company at any time in whole, or from time to time in part, until maturity, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Bonds of Series CCC being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount (as defined below), if any, with respect to such Bonds of Series CCC.

"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to the stated maturity of the Bonds of Series CCC that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the Bonds of Series CCC.

In the case of any of certain events of default specified in the Indenture, the principal of this bond may be declared or may become due and payable prior to the stated date of maturity hereof in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
