NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In this reportCinergy (which includesCinergy Corp. and all of our regulated and non-regulated subsidiaries) is, at times, referred to in the first person as "we"“we”, "our"“our”, or "us"“us”.

1.                        Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)                                  Presentation

 

Our Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal, recurring adjustments) necessary in the opinion of the registrants for a fair presentation of the interim results.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the notes thereto included in the registrants’ combined 2001 Form 10-K offor the registrants.year ended December 31, 2002 (2002 10-K).  Certain amounts in the 20012002 Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 20022003 presentation.

(b)                                  Financial Derivatives

 

We use derivative financial instruments to manage:

    manage funding costs;

    exposurecosts and exposures to fluctuations in interest rates; and

    exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.

We account for derivatives under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement 133), which requires all derivatives that are not exempted to be accounted for at fair value.  Changes in the derivative'sderivative’s fair value must be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  Gains and losses on derivatives that qualify as hedges can (a) offset related fair value changes on the hedged item in the income statement for fair value hedges; or (b) be recorded in other comprehensive income for cash flow hedges.  To qualify for hedge accounting, financial instruments must be designated as a hedge (for example, an offset of foreign exchange or interest rate risks) at the inception of the contract and must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the hedged item.  Accordingly, changes in the fair values or cash flows of instruments designated as hedges must be highly correlated with changes in the fair values or cash flows of the related hedged items.

 From time to time, we may use foreign currency contracts (for example, a contract obligating one party to buy, and the other to sell, a specified quantity of a foreign currency for a fixed price at a future date) and currency swaps (for example, a contract whereby two parties exchange principal and interest cash flows denominated in different currencies) to hedge foreign currency denominated purchase and sale commitments (cash flow hedges) and certain of our net investments in foreign operations (net investment hedges) against currency exchange rate fluctuations. Reclassification of unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency cash flow hedges from other comprehensive income occurs when the underlying hedged item is recorded in income.

We also use interest rate swaps (an agreement by two parties to exchange fixed-interest rate cash flows for floating-interest rate cash flows) and treasury locks (an agreement to exchange cash flows basedthat fixes the yield or price on a specific treasury security for a specific period, which we sometimes use in connection with the movement in the underlying treasury benchmark over a specified periodissuance of time)fixed rate debt)Effective with our adoption of Statement 133 in the first quarter of 2001, we began accountingWe account for allsuch derivatives (including interest rate swaps and treasury locks) usingat fair value, accounting, and we assess the effectiveness of any interest rate swaps and/or treasury locks used in hedging activities.

At September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, the ineffectiveness of instruments that we have classified as cash flow hedges of variable-rate debt instruments was not material.  Reclassification of unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges of debt instruments fromAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) occurs as interest is accrued on the debt instrument.  We currently estimate that on an after-tax basis, $4$5 million of

23



unrealized losses will be reclassified as a charge toInterest during

25


Interest

during the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2003.March 31, 2004.  See Note 1(d)(j)(iviv) below for further discussion of Statement 133.

(c)                                  Energy Marketing and Trading

 

We market and trade electricity, natural gas, coal, and other energy-related products.  We designate derivative transactions as accrualtrading or tradingnon-trading at the time they are originated.originated in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 02-3, Issues Involved inAccounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities (EITF 02-3).  Derivatives are classified as accrualnon-trading only when we (a) have the intent and projected ability to fulfill substantially all obligations from company-owned assets, and (b) meet the requirements to consider the contract a normal purchase or sale under Statement 133 (if a derivative), or meet the requirements to consider the contract non-trading under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 98-10,Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities (EITF 98-10) (if not a derivative under Statement 133).assets.  Such classification is generally limited to the sale of generation to third parties when it is not required to meet native load requirements (end-use customers within our public utility companies'companies’ franchise service territory).  All other energy contractsderivatives (excluding electric, coal, and gas purchase contracts for use in serving our native load requirements) are classified as trading.  Gas trading is comprised of transactions for which gas is physically delivered to a customer (physical gas trading), as well as transactions that are financial in nature for which delivery rarely occurs (financial gas trading).  SinceCinergy owns no gas production and has limited transmission capabilities, all gas transactions (other than procurement and sale of gas to The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E) and to The Union Light, Heat and Power Company (ULH&P) retail customers) are considered trading whether physical or financial.  Certain gas and coal contracts do not meet the definition of a derivative and, therefore, are not required to be classified as trading or non-trading.

We account for non-trading derivatives and non-derivative energy contracts on the accrual transactions by recognizing revenuesbasis of accounting (accrual contracts).  Non-trading derivatives are accounted for as accrual only if the contract qualifies for the normal purchases and costs when the underlying commodity is delivered andsales scope exception in Statement 133.  We account for all trading transactionsderivatives using the fair value method of accounting.  Under the fair value method of accounting, unrealized trading transactionsderivatives are shown at fair value in our Balance Sheets asEnergy risk management assets and andEnergy risk management liabilities.  All changes in fair value of such contracts are reflected as gains or losses in our Statements of Income.  In October 2002, the EITF reached a consensus in EITF 02-3 to rescind EITF Issue 02-398-10, Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities (EITF 02-3) to rescind EITF 98-10.98-10).  This decision will requirerequired that non-derivative contracts currentlypreviously accounted for at fair value be accounted for on an accrual basis, in the future.beginning January 1, 2003.  See Note 1(d)(j)(ii) below for further discussion.

        We reflect unrealized gains and losses, resulting from changes in fair value, on a net basis inOperating Revenues. For physical gas trading and for all power trading,In 2003, we recognize both revenues and costs on a gross basis inOperating Revenues and inFuel and purchased and exchanged power andGas purchased, respectively, when transactions are settled. For financial gas trading, realized gains and losses are recorded on a net basis inOperating Revenues when transactions are settled. In June 2002, the EITF reached a consensus requiringbegan reflecting realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading derivatives on a net basis in Operating Revenues pursuant to the requirements of EITF 02-3, regardless of whether the transactions were settled physically.  Prior to 2003, the realized results for trading contracts that were physical in nature were presented as either (a) Operating Revenues,if sales contractsor (b) Fuel and purchased and exchanged power expense or Gas purchased expense, if purchase contracts.  The presentation for 2002 has been reclassified to conform to the new presentation.  Non-trading derivatives, as well as substantially all energy tradingmarketing contracts to bethat are not derivatives, are presented neton a gross basis inOperating Revenues or , beginning with the third quarter of 2002,Fuel and reclassification of all periods presented.

Although we intend to settle accrual contracts with company-owned assets, occasionally we settle these contracts with purchases on the open trading markets.  The cost of these purchases could be in excess of the associated revenues.  We recognize the gains or losses on these transactions as delivery occurs.  Due to the infrequency of such settlements, both historical and projected, and the fact that physical settlement to the customer still occurs, we continue to apply the normal purchases and sales exemption to such physical contracts that constitute derivatives.  Open market purchases may occur for the following reasons:

    generating station outages;

    least-cost alternative;

24


      native load requirements; and

      extreme weather.

     

    We anticipate that some of the electricity obligations, even though considered trading contracts,derivatives, will ultimately be settled using company-owned generation.  The variable cost of this generation is usually below the market price at which the trading portfolio has been valued.  The potential for earnings volatility from period to period is increased due to the risks associated with marketing and trading electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related products.

     

    We value contracts in the trading portfolioderivatives using end-of-the-period fair values, utilizing the following factors (as applicable):

      closing exchange prices (that is, closing prices for standardized electricity and natural gas products traded on an organized exchange, such as the New York Mercantile Exchange);

      broker-dealer and over-the-counter price quotations; and

      model pricing (which considers time value and historical volatility factors of electricity and natural gas).

    (d)                                  Accounting ChangesInventory

     (i)    Energy Trading

            The EITF has been discussing several issues relatedPrior to the accounting and disclosure of energyJanuary 1, 2003, natural gas inventory for our domestic gas trading activities under EITF 98-10. In June 2002, the EITF reached a consensus in EITF 02-3 requiring all realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy trading contracts be presented net in the income statement, whether or not settled physically. However, the EITF rescinded this consensus in October 2002 and replaced it with a requirement to present all gains and losses on energy trading derivatives on a net basis beginning in 2003. In addition, certain non-derivative contracts used in our trading activities would have been required to be presented net under the June 2002 consensus. Under the new consensus, these contracts will likely continue to be presented gross. Since most of our energy trading activities involve derivatives, we believe this new consensus will not have a substantially different impact than the June 2002 consensus, other than deferring the ultimate implementation date. We continue to expect substantial reductions inOperating Revenues, Fuel and purchased and exchanged power expense, andGas purchased expense as a result of adopting net reporting. However,Operating Income andNet Income will not be affected by this change.Operating Revenues foroperation, Cinergy,CG&E, and PSI Energy, Inc. (PSI), under the EITF's June 2002 consensus regarding net presentation, would have been as follows:

    The results ofCinergyalso include amounts related to non-registrants.

            In October 2002, the EITF reached a consensus to rescind EITF 98-10. All energy trading contracts that do not qualify as a derivative will no longer be Marketing & Trading, LP (Marketing & Trading) was accounted for at fair value.  Instead, accrualAll other inventory was accounted for at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined through the weighted average method.  Effective January 1, 2003, accounting will be used. The consensus is immediately effective for all new contracts executed after October 25, 2002, and will requireMarketing & Trading’s gas inventory was adjusted to the lower of cost or market method with a cumulative effect adjustment, to income after tax inas required by EITF 02-3.  See (j)(i) below for additional discussion of the first quarterimpacts of 2003 for all contracts executed prior to October 25, 2002. The magnitude of this adjustment will depend on the fair value as of January 1, 2003, of energy trading contracts meeting the criteria

    25



    outlined above.Cinergy has begun reviewing the various contracts to determine the effect of this change.adopting EITF 02-3.

     During the October 2002 meeting, the EITF also rescinded a prior consensus reached in the June 2002 meeting regarding new disclosures for energy trading activities. In addition, the EITF elected not to provide guidance at this time on the recognition of inception gains on energy trading transactions. However, the decision to rescind EITF 98-10 will eliminate the recognition of inception gains on contracts that do not meet the definition of a derivative since such contracts will be accounted for on an accrual basis.

    (e)(ii)    Business Combinations and                                  Intangible Assets

            In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,Business Combinations (Statement 141), and No. 142,

    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142). Statement 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method. With the adoption of Statement 142, goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization. Statement 142 requires that goodwill beare not amortized.  Goodwill is assessed for impairment upon adoption and at least annually, thereafteror when circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined significantly, by applying a fair-value-based test, as opposed to the undiscounted cash flow test applied under prior accounting standards.test.  This test must beis applied at the "reporting unit"“reporting unit” level, which is not permitted to be broader than the current business segments discussed in Note 9. Under Statement 142, an acquired8.  Acquired intangible asset should beassets are separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is

    27



    obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer's intent to do so.

    (f)                                    Impairment of Long-lived Assets

    We began applying Statement 141evaluate long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in the third quarter of 2001 and Statement 142 in the first quarter of 2002. The discontinuance of amortization of goodwill, which began in the first quarter of 2002, is not material to our financial position or results of operations. We have identified the reporting units forCinergy and finalized the initial transition impairment test. Based on the result of this test, the transition impact of applying Statement 142 is not material to our financial position or results of operations. We will continue to perform goodwill impairment tests annually, as required by Statement 142, or when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable.  So long as an asset or group of assets is not held for sale, the determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets, as compared with the carrying value of the assets.  If an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value of the assets and recording a reporting unit has declined significantly.provision for an impairment loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value.  Once assets are classified as held for sale, the comparison of undiscounted cash flows to carrying value is disregarded and an impairment loss is recognized for any amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the assets.

     

    Cinergy has classified certain non-core investments as held for sale.  The results of operations for these investments are presented as (iii)    Asset Retirement ObligationsDiscontinued operations, net of tax in our financial statements.

    (g)                                 Stock-Based Compensation

     

            In July 2001,We have historically accounted for our stock-based compensation plans using the FASB issuedintrinsic value method under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).  Effective January 1, 2003, Cinergy adopted prospectively the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (Statement 148), for all employee awards granted or modified after January 1, 2003.  The following table illustrates the effect on our Net Income and Earnings Per Common Share (EPS) if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period.

    (h)                                 Asset Retirement Obligations (Statement 143). Statement 143 requires

    We recognize the fair value recognition of legal obligations to retireassociated with the retirement or removal of long-lived assets at the time the obligations are incurred.  The initial recognition of this liability will beis accompanied by a corresponding increase in property, plant, and equipment.  Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability will beis adjusted for any revisions to the expected cash flows of the retirement obligation (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant, and equipment), and for accretion of the liability due to the passage of time (recognized as an operation expense).  Additional depreciation expense will beis recorded prospectively for any property, plant, and equipment increases. We currently accrue costs of removal on many regulated, long-lived assets through depreciation expense, with a corresponding charge to accumulated depreciation, as allowed by each regulatory jurisdiction. For assets that we conclude have a retirement obligation under Statement 143, the accounting we currently use will be modified to comply with this standard. We will adopt Statement 143 in the first quarter of 2003. We have formed an implementation team and are continuing to analyze the impact of this statement. However, at this time, we have not determined whether its implementation will be material to our financial position or results of operations.

     (iv)    Derivatives

            During 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133. This standard was effective forCinergy beginning in 2001, and requires us to record derivative instruments, which are not exempt under certain provisions

    26



    of Statement 133, as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value (i.e., mark-to-market). Our financial statements reflect the adoption of Statement 133 in the first quarter of 2001. Since many of our derivatives were previously required to use fair value accounting, the effects of implementation were not material.

            Our adoption did not reflect the potential impact of applying fair value accounting to selected electricity options and capacity contracts. We had not historically accounted for these instruments at fair value because they were intended as either hedges of peak period exposure or sales contracts served with physical generation, neither of which were considered trading activities. At adoption, we classified these contracts as normal purchases or sales based on our interpretation of Statement 133 and in the absence of definitive guidance on such contracts. In June 2001, the FASB staff issued guidance on the application of the normal purchases and sales exemption to electricity contracts containing characteristics of options. While many of the criteria in this guidance are consistent with the existing guidance in Statement 133, some criteria were added. We adopted the new guidance in the third quarter of 2001, and the effects of implementation for these contracts were not material to our financial position or results of operations. We will continue to apply this guidance to any new electricity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative.

            In December 2001, the FASB staff revised the current guidance to make the evaluation of whether electricity contracts qualify as normal purchases and sales more qualitative than quantitative. This new guidance uses several factors to distinguish between capacity contracts, which qualify for the normal purchases and sales exemption, and options, which do not. These factors include deal tenor, pricing structure, specification of the source of power, and various other factors. We adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2002, and its impact was not material to our financial position or results of operations.

            In October 2001, the FASB staff released final guidance on the applicability of the normal purchases and sales exemption to contracts that contain a minimum quantity (a forward component) and flexibility to take additional quantity at a fixed price (an option component). While this guidance was issued primarily to address optionality in fuel supply contracts, it applies to all derivatives (subject to certain exceptions for capacity contracts in electricity discussed in the previous paragraphs). This guidance concludes that such contracts are not eligible for the normal purchases and sales exemption due to the existence of optionality in the contract. We adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2002, consistent with the transition provisions.Cinergy has certain contracts that contain fixed-price optionality, primarily coal contracts, which we reviewed to determine the impact of this new guidance. Due to a lack of liquidity with respect to coal markets in our region, we determined that our coal contracts do not meet the net settlement criteria of Statement 133 and thus do not qualify as derivatives. Given these conclusions, the results of applying this new guidance were not material to our financial position or results of operations.

            In May 2002, the FASB issued an exposure draft that would amend Statement 133 to incorporate certain implementation conclusions reached by the FASB staff. The proposed effective date would be the first quarter of 2003. We do not believerecognize liabilities for asset retirement obligations for which the amendment asfair value cannot be reasonably estimated.  CG&E and PSI Energy, Inc. (PSI) have asset retirement obligations associated with river structures at certain generating stations.  However, the retirement date for these river structures cannot be determined; therefore, the fair value of the associated liability currently drafted, will have a material effect oncannot be estimated and no amounts are recognized in the financial statements herein.

    Effective with our financial position or resultsadoption of operations.

    (v)    Asset Impairment

            In August 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (Statement 143), on January 1, 2003, we do not accrue the Impairmentestimated cost of Long-Lived Assets (Statement 144). Statement 144 addresses accounting and reportingremoval when no obligation exists for any of our non-regulated assets, even if removal of the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. Statement 144 was effective beginning with the first quarter of 2002. The impact of implementation onasset is likely.  For our financial position or results of operations was not material.rate-regulated assets where our tariff rate

    (vi)    Exit Activities 

            In August 2002, the FASB issuedincludes a cost of removal component, we recognize a charge for estimated cost of removal under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146,71, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activitiesthe Effects of Certain Types of Regulation (Statement 71), as part of depreciation.  This includes most assets for PSI, (Statement 146)CG&E, except for its generating assets, and ULH&PStatement 146 addresses accounting and reportingSee (j)(iii) for the recognition of exit costs, including, but not limited to, one-time employee benefit terminations, contract cancellations, and facility consolidations. This statement requires that such costs be recognized only when they meet the definition of a liability under generally accepted accounting principles. Certain of the costs discussed in Note 8 were accrued under previous accounting standards that Statement 146 will supersede when it becomes effective. However, Statement 146 applies only to exit activities initiated in 2003 and after. All costs recorded through September 30, 2002, are unaffected by this pronouncement. The impact of implementation on our financial position or results of operations is not expected to be material.additional information.

     (vii)    Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

            As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K, we have historically accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,(i)Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25). In July 2002,Cinergy announced that it will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123) effective with the next grant cycle (January 2003), and will begin measuring the compensation cost of stock-based awards under the fair value method. On October 4, 2002, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft of a Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure that would amend Statement 123 and APB Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting. This proposed statement provides alternative methods of transition to Statement 123 and more expanded disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results in both annual and interim financial statements.Cinergy intends to adopt the transition provisions that require expensing options prospectively in the year of adoption consistent with the original pronouncement. Existing awards will continue to follow the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25. The anticipated impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations, assuming award levels and fair values similar to past years, is not expected to be material. This change will primarily impact the accounting for stock options related to the Cinergy Corp. 1996 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, Cinergy Corp. Stock Option Plan, and Cinergy Corp. Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan.

    (e)                                    Operating Revenues

     

    Our operating companies recordOperating revenues for electric and gas service when delivered to customers.  Customers are billed throughout the month as both gas and electric meters are read.  We recognize revenues for retail energy sales that have not yet been billed, but where gas or electricity has been consumed.  This is termed "unbilled revenue"“unbilled revenue” and is a widely recognized and accepted practice for utilities.  In making our estimates of unbilled revenue, we use complex systems that consider various factors, including weather, in our calculation of retail customer consumption at the end of each month.  Given the use of these systems and the fact that customers are billed monthly, we believe it is unlikely that materially different results will occur in future periods when revenue is subsequently billed.

    The amount of unbilled revenues forCinergy,CG&E, PSI, andULH&PPSI as of March 31, 2003 and 2002, were $124as follows:

    (j)                                    Accounting Changes

    (i)                    Energy Trading

    In October 2002, the EITF reached consensus in EITF 02-3, to (a) rescind EITF 98-10, (b) generally preclude the recognition of gains at the inception of new derivatives, and (c) require all realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy trading derivatives to be presented net in the Statements of Income, whether or not settled physically.  The consensus to rescind EITF 98-10 required most energy trading contracts that do not qualify as derivatives to be accounted for on an accrual basis, rather than at fair value.  The consensus was immediately effective for all new contracts executed after October 25, 2002, and required a cumulative effect adjustment to income, net of tax, on January 1, 2003, for all contracts executed on or prior to October 25, 2002.  The cumulative effect adjustment, on a net of tax basis, was a loss of $13 million $63for Cinergy and $8 million (includingfor CG&E, which includes primarily the impact of certain coal contracts, gas inventory, and certain gas contracts, which were all accounted for at fair value.  We expect the ongoing impact of this rescission to have the largest impact on our gas trading business, which uses financial contracts, physical contracts, and gas inventory to take advantage of various arbitrage opportunities.  Prior to the rescission of EITF 98-10, all of these activities were

    30



    accounted for at fair value.  Under the revised guidance, only certain items are accounted for at fair value, which could increase volatility in reported results of operations.

    The consensus to require all gains and losses on energy trading derivatives to be presented net in the Statements of Income was effective January 1, 2003, and required reclassification for all periods presented.  This resulted in substantial reductions in reported Operating Revenues, Fuel and purchased and exchanged power expense, and Gas purchased expense.  However, Operating Income and Net Income were not affected by this change.  See Note 3 for additional information.

    (ii)                Business Combinations and Intangible Assets

    In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations (Statement 141), and No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142).  Statement 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method.  With the adoption of Statement 142, goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization.  Statement 142 requires that goodwill be assessed for impairment upon adoption (transition impairment test) and at least annually thereafter by applying a fair-value-based test, as opposed to the undiscounted cash flow test applied under prior accounting standards.  This test must be applied at the “reporting unit” level, which is not permitted to be broader than the current business segments discussed in Note 8.  Under Statement 142, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer’s intent to do so.

    We began applying Statement 141 in the third quarter of 2001 and Statement 142 in the first quarter of 2002.  The discontinuance of amortization of goodwill, which began in the first quarter of 2002, was not material to our financial position or results of operations.  We finalized our transition impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2002 and have recognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $11 million (net of tax) for goodwill related to certain of our international assets.  This amount is reflected in Cinergy’s Statements of Income as a Cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, net of tax.  While Statement 142 did not require the initial transition impairment test to be completed until December 31, 2002, it required a transition impairment charge to be reflected as of January 1, 2002.  We will continue to perform goodwill impairment tests annually, as required by Statement 142, or when circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined significantly.

    (iii)            Asset Retirement Obligations

    In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement 143, which requires fair value recognition beginning January 1, 2003, of legal obligations associated with the retirement or removal of long-lived assets, at the time the obligations are incurred.  The initial recognition of this liability is accompanied by a corresponding increase in property, plant, and equipment.  Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability is adjusted for any revisions to the expected cash flows of the retirement obligation (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant, and equipment), and

    31



    for accretion of the liability due to the passage of time (recognized as an operation expense).  Additional depreciation expense is recorded prospectively for any property, plant, and equipment increases.

    We previously accrued costs of removal on many long-lived assets through depreciation expense if we believed removal of the assets at the end of their useful life was likely.  The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff has interpreted Statement 143 to disallow the accrual of estimated cost of removal when no obligation exists under Statement 143, even if removal of the asset is likely.  As a result, all accumulated cost of removal for our non-regulated assets, primarily CG&E’s generation assets, was reversed upon adoption.  However, accrued cost of removal for rate-regulated assets is recoverable through our rates as a component of depreciation.  Since Statement 71 applies, accruing estimated cost of removal continues to be acceptable.  As a result, accumulated cost of removal was not reversed upon adoption of Statement 143 for the rate-regulated assets of PSI, CG&E, and ULH&P.

    )We adopted Statement 143 on January 1, 2003, and Cinergy and CG&E both recognized a gain of $39 million (net of tax) for the cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle.  Substantially all of this adjustment reflects the reversal of previously accrued cost of removal for CG&E’s generating assets, which do not apply Statement 71.  Accumulated Depreciation at adoption includes $316 million, $25 million, and $146 million of accumulated cost of removal related to PSI’s, ULH&P’s, and $61 million,CG&E’s utility plant in service assets, respectively, at September 30, 2002.which represent regulatory liabilities and were not included as part of the cumulative effect adjustment.  The increases in assets and liabilities from adopting Statement 143 were not material to our financial position.

    Pro-forma results as if Statement 143 was applied retroactively for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 and the quarter ended March 31, 2002 are not materially different from reported results.

    (f)(iv)              Related Party TransactionsDerivatives

     

            To supplement native loadDuring 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133.  This standard was effective for Cinergy beginning in 2001, and requires us to record derivative instruments, which are not exempt under certain provisions of Statement 133, as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value (i.e., mark-to-market).  Our financial statements reflect the adoption of Statement 133 in the first quarter of 2001.  Since many of our derivatives were previously required to use fair value accounting, the effects of implementation were not material.

    In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement 149).  Statement 149 primarily amends Statement 133 to incorporate implementation conclusions previously cleared by the FASB staff, to clarify the definition of a derivative and to require derivative instruments that include up-front cash payments to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.  Implementation issues that have been previously cleared by the FASB staff will continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates at the time that they were cleared and new guidance has varying implementation provisions, none of

    which will apply until the third quarter of 2003.  We have begun to evaluate the impacts of adopting Statement 149 but are currently unable to determine whether the impacts will be material to our results of operations or financial position.

    There has been recent discussion about the use of broad market indices (e.g., consumer price index) in power sales contracts and whether such indices disqualify capacity contracts that otherwise qualify for the use of the normal purchases and sales scope exception.  In April 2003, the FASB staff provided some proposed clarifications on this issue.  This guidance is currently open for public comment.  We expect this guidance to be finalized sometime during the summer of 2003, with a proposed effective date for Cinergy of October 1, 2003.  We are unable to determine whether the impact of this recent interpretation would be material to our results of operations or financial position until the FASB staff finalizes its guidance.

    (v)                  Exit Activities

    In August 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (Statement 146).  Statement 146 addresses accounting and reporting for the recognition of exit costs, including, but not limited to, one-time employee benefit terminations, contract cancellations, and facility consolidations.  This statement requires that such costs be recognized only when they meet the definition of a liability under generally accepted accounting principles.  However, Statement 146 applies only to exit activities initiated in 2003 and after.  All costs recorded through December 31, 2002, were unaffected by this pronouncement.  The impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations was not material.

    (vi)              Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

    We have historically accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under APB 25.  In July 2002, Cinergy announced that it would adopt Statement 123 for all employee awards granted or modified after January 1, 2003, and would begin measuring the compensation cost of stock-based awards under the fair value method.  In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement 148, which amends Statement 123 and APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting.  Statement 148 provides alternative methods of transition to Statement 123 and more expanded disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results in both annual and interim financial statements.  Cinergy adopted Statement 148 on January 1, 2003, and has adopted the transition provisions that require expensing options prospectively beginning in the year of adoption.  Awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, will continue to follow the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25.  The impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations, assuming award levels and fair values similar to past years, is not material.  This change will primarily impact the accounting for stock options and other performance based awards related to the Cinergy Corp. 1996 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, the Cinergy Corp. Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan, and the Cinergy Corp. Stock Option Plan.

    33



    (vii)          Consolidation of Special Purpose Entities (SPE)

    The FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities in January 2003.  This interpretation will significantly change the consolidation requirements for 2002,CG&ESPEs.  We have begun reviewing the impact of this interpretation but have not yet concluded whether consolidation of certain SPEs will be required.  There are two SPEs for which consolidation may be required.  These SPEs have individual power sale agreements to an unrelated third party for approximately 45 megawatts (MW) of capacity, ending in 2009, andPSI 35 MW of capacity, ending in 2016.  In addition, the SPEs have agreed toindividual power purchase peaking power fromagreements with Cinergy Capital & Trading, Inc. (Capital & Trading), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary to supply the power.  Capital & Trading also provides various services, including certain credit support facilities.

    Cinergy’s quantifiable exposure to loss as a result ofCinergy Corp., pursuant to the terms of a wholesale market-based tariff. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, payments under involvement with these contracts totaled approximately $20 million forCG&E andtwo SPEs is $28 million, forPSI.which includes investments in these entities of $3 million and exposure under the capped credit facilities of approximately $25 million.  There is also a non-capped facility, but it can only be called upon in the event the SPE breaches representations, violates covenants, or other unlikely events.

    28



    (g)    Foreign Currency 

            We translate theIf appropriate, consolidation of all assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries, whose functional currency (generally,these two SPEs, at their carrying values, will be required in the local currencythird quarter of 2003.  Approximately $225 million of non-recourse debt would be included in Cinergy’s Balance Sheet upon initial consolidation.  However, the countryimpact on results of operations would be expected to be immaterial.

    Cinergy believes that its accounts receivable sale facility, as discussed in which the subsidiary is located) is not the United States (U.S.) dollar, using the appropriate exchange rate as2002 10-K, would remain unconsolidated since it involves transfers of the end of the month. We translate income and expense items using the average exchange rate prevailing during the month the respective transaction occurs. We record translation gains and losses inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss),financial assets to a qualifying SPE, which is exempted from consolidation by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities and this interpretation.

    2.    Common Stock

            In February 2002,Cinergy Corp. sold 6.5 million shares of its common stock with net proceeds of approximately $200 million. The net proceeds from the transaction were used to repay a portion of short-term debt ofCinergy Corp.

    As discussed in the 2001 Form2002 10-K, it isCinergy currentlyCinergy's policy to issue issues newCinergy Corp. common stock shares to satisfy obligations under its various employee stock plans and the Cinergy Corp. Direct Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan.  During the first quarter of 2003, Cinergy has issued 2.4approximately 1.5 million shares under these plansplans.

    On January 15, 2003, Cinergy Corp. filed a registration statement with the SEC with respect to the issuance of common stock, preferred stock, and other securities in 2002.an aggregate offering amount of $750 million.  On February 5, 2003, Cinergy sold 5.7 million shares of common stock of Cinergy Corp. with net proceeds of approximately $175 million under this registration statement.  The net proceeds from the transaction were used to reduce short-term debt of Cinergy Corp. and for other general corporate purposes.

    3.                        Change in Method of Revenue Presentation for Energy Trading Derivatives

    In October 2002, the EITF reached consensus in EITF 02-3 to require all realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy trading derivatives to be presented net in the Statements of Income, whether or not settled physically.  This consensus was effective beginning January 1, 2003, and required reclassification for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.

    4.                                      Long-term Debt

    In October 2002, PSI filed a petition with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) for the purpose of securing authorization and approval to issue two subordinated promissory notes to Cinergy Corp. for the acquisition of the Butler County, Ohio and Henry County, Indiana peaking plants.  In January 2002,2003, the IURC granted this request, and in February 2003, PSI paid at maturity $23 million issued the notes.  One subordinated note was for the principal amount of Medium-Term Notes, Series A. The securities were not replaced by new issues of long-term debt.

            In May 2002,$200 million with an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinergy Global Resources, Inc. entered into a senior term loan and a junior term loan, borrowing $13.1 million and $7 million, respectively. Each of the loans have periodic principal reduction payments, with the senior loan having a final maturity of March 15, 2019, and the junior loan having a final maturity of March 15, 2012. In July 2002, borrowings under the senior and junior loans were increased to $13.8 and $7.1 million, respectively. At that time, the annual interest rate of 6.302% and will mature on the senior loanApril 15, 2004.  The second subordinated note was fixed at 6.97%for $176 million with an annual interest rate of 6.403% and the junior loan was fixed at 6.35%. Previously, interestwill mature on the loans was at a variable rate.

            On September 1, 2002,CG&E paid at maturity $100 million principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds, 71/4% Series.2004.

    36


            On September 10, 2002,
    CG&E borrowed the proceeds from the issuance by the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority of $84 million principal amount of its State of Ohio Air Quality Development Revenue Refunding Bonds 2002 Series A, due September 1, 2037. The issuance consists of two $42 million tranches, with the interest rate on one tranche being reset every 35 days by auction and the interest rate on the other tranche being reset every 7 days by auction. The initial interest rates for the 35-day and 7-day tranches were 1.40% and 1.35%, respectively. Proceeds from the borrowing were used on October 7, 2002 to redeem, at par, two $42 million Series 1985 A&B Air Quality Development Authority State of Ohio Customized Purchase Revenue Bonds, due December 1, 2015. The redeemed bonds had been classified inNotes payable and other short-term obligations.

    On September 12, 2002,March 7, 2003, PSI borrowed the proceeds from the issuance by the Indiana Development Finance Authority of $23$35 million principal amount of its Environmental Refunding Revenue Bonds Series 2002A,2003, due MarchApril 1, 2031. The initial interest rate for the bonds2022.  Interest was 1.40%. The interest rate resetsinitially set at 1.05% and will reset every 35 days by auction. ProceedsThe bonds are not putable by the holders; therefore, PSI’s debt obligation is classified as Long-term debt.  On March 28, 2003, the proceeds from this borrowing plus the borrowinginterest income earned were used on October 1, 2002 to redeem, at par,cause the $23refunding of the $35 million principal amount outstanding of Indiana Development Finance Authority Environmental Refunding Revenue Bonds Series 1998, due August 1, 2028. The redeemed bonds had been classified inNotes payable and other short-term obligations.

    29



            On September 12, 2002,PSI borrowed the proceeds from the issuance by the Indiana Development Finance Authority of $24.6 million principal amount of its Environmental Refunding Revenue Bonds Series 2002B, due March 1, 2019. The initial interest rate for the bonds was 1.35%. The interest rate resets every 7 days by auction. Proceeds from the issuance were used on October 1, 2002 to redeem, at par, the $24.6 million principal amount of City of Princeton, Indiana Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds, 1996 Series, due March 1, 2019. The1997 Series.

    On April 25, 2003, PSI redeemed bonds had been classified inNotes payable and other short-term obligations.

            The holders$26.8 million of the newly issued Ohio Air Quality Development Authority and Indiana Development Finance Authority bonds mentioned above have the benefit of a financial guaranty insurance policy that insures the payment of principal of, and interest on, the bonds when due.CG&E andPSI have each entered into an insurance agreement with the bond insurer and have pledged first mortgage bonds to secure their respective reimbursement obligations under such agreements.following Series A, Medium-term Notes:

            On September 23, 2002,CG&E issued $500 million principal amount senior unsecured debentures due September 15, 2012, with an interest rate of 5.70%. Proceeds from the offering were used to repay short-term indebtedness incurred in connection with general corporate purposes including capital expenditures related to environmental compliance construction, and the repayment at maturity of $100 million principal amount ofCG&E First Mortgage Bonds, 71/4% Series. In July 2002,CG&E executed a treasury lock with a notional amount of $250 million, which was designated as a cash flow hedge of 50 percent of the forecasted interest payments on this debt offering. The treasury lock effectively fixed the benchmark interest rate (i.e., the treasury component of the interest rate, but not the credit spread) for 50 percent of the offering from July 2002 through the issuance date in order to reduce the exposure associated with treasury rate volatility. With the issuance of the debt, the treasury lock was settled. Given the use of hedge accounting, this settlement is reflected inAccumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on an after-tax basis in the amount of $13 million, rather than a charge to net income. This amount will be reclassified toInterest expense over the 10-year life of the related debt as interest is accrued.

    CG&EThe following table summarizes our andPSI caused the redemption of certain series of variable rate pollution control notes (tax-exempt notes obtained to finance equipment or land development for pollution control purposes) with a principal amount of $84 million and $47.6 million, respectively. Holders of the notes had the option of having their notes redeemed at various times ranging from any business day to annually. Because the optional redemption features were one year or less, the notes are reflected inNotes payable and other short-term obligations in the Balance Sheets forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI. The notes were redeemed with proceeds from the issuance of new series of variable rate pollution control notes that do not have the redemption features mentioned above, and are therefore classified asLong-term debt obligations. See Note 3 for further discussion of variable rate pollution control notes.

    The commercial paper program is limited to $800 million and is supported by Cinergy Corp.’s revolving lines.

    In our credit facilities,Cinergy Corp. has covenanted to maintain:

      a consolidated net worth of $2 billion; and

      a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated total capitalization not in excess of 65 percent.

     

    38



    A breach of these covenants could result in the termination of the credit facilities and the acceleration of the related indebtedness.  In addition to breaches of covenants, certain other events that could result in the termination of available credit and acceleration of the related indebtedness include:

      bankruptcy;

      defaults in the payment of other indebtedness; and

    31


        judgments against the company that are not paid or insured.

       

      The latter two events, however, are subject to dollar-based materiality thresholds.

      5.    Sales of Accounts Receivable

              In February 2002,CG&E,PSI, andULH&P replaced their existing agreement to sell certain of their accounts receivable and related collections.Cinergy Corp. formed Cinergy Receivables Company, LLC (Cinergy Receivables) to purchase, on a revolving basis, nearly all of the retail accounts receivable and related collections ofCG&E,PSI, andULH&P.Cinergy Corp. does not consolidate Cinergy Receivables since it meets the requirements to be accounted for as a qualifying special-purpose entity. The sales of receivables are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (Statement 140).

              The proceeds obtained from the sales of receivables are largely cash but do include a subordinated note from Cinergy Receivables for a portion of the purchase price (typically approximates 25 percent of the total proceeds). The note is subordinate to senior loans that Cinergy Receivables obtains from commercial paper conduits controlled by unrelated financial institutions. Cinergy Receivables provides credit enhancement related to senior loans in the form of over-collateralization of the purchased receivables. However, the over-collateralization is calculated monthly and does not extend to the entire pool of receivables held by Cinergy Receivables at any point in time. As such, these senior loans do not have recourse to all assets of Cinergy Receivables. These loans provide the cash portion of the proceeds paid toCG&E,PSI, andULH&P.

              This subordinated note is a retained interest (right to receive a specified portion of cash flows from the sold assets) under Statement 140 and is classified withinNotes receivable from affiliated companies in the accompanying Balance Sheets ofCG&E,PSI, andULH&P and is classified withinNotes receivable onCinergy Corp.'s Balance Sheets. In addition,Cinergy Corp.'s investment in Cinergy Receivables constitutes a purchased beneficial interest (purchased right to receive specified cash flows, in our case residual cash flows), which is subordinate to the retained interests held byCG&E,PSI, andULH&P. The carrying values of the retained interests are determined by allocating the carrying value of the receivables between the assets sold and the interests retained based on relative fair value. The key assumptions in estimating fair value are credit losses and selection of discount rates. Because (a) the receivables generally turn in less than two months, (b) credit losses are reasonably predictable due to each company's broad customer base and lack of significant concentration, and (c) the purchased beneficial interest is subordinate to all retained interests and thus would absorb losses first, the allocated basis of the subordinated notes are not materially different than their face value. Interest accrues toCG&E,PSI, andULH&P on the retained interests using the accretable yield method, which generally approximates the stated rate on the notes since the allocated basis and the face value are nearly equivalent.Cinergy Corp. records income from Cinergy Receivables in a similar manner. We record an impairment charge against the carrying value of both the retained interests and purchased beneficial interest whenever we determine that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred (which is unlikely unless credit losses on the receivables far exceed the anticipated level).

      32



              The key assumptions used in measuring the retained interests for sales since the inception of the new agreement are as follows:

       
       Cinergy
       CG&E and
      subsidiaries

       PSI
       ULH&P
       
      Anticipated credit loss rate 0.6%0.6%0.5%1.0%
      Discount rate on expected cash flows 5.0%5.0%5.0%5.0%
      Receivables turnover rate(1) 13.2%13.6%12.7%14.2%

      (1)
      Receivables at period end divided by annualized sales for period.

              The hypothetical effect on the fair value of the retained interests assuming both a 10 percent and 20 percent unfavorable variation in credit losses or discount rates is not material due to the short turnover of receivables and historically low credit loss history.

      CG&E retains servicing responsibilities for its role as a collection agent on the amounts due on the sold receivables. However, Cinergy Receivables assumes the risk of collection on the purchased receivables without recourse toCG&E,PSI, andULH&P in the event of a loss. While no direct recourse toCG&E,PSI, andULH&P exists, these entities do risk loss in the event collections are not sufficient to allow for full recovery of their retained interests. No servicing asset or liability is recorded since the servicing fee paid toCG&E approximates a market rate.

              The following table shows the gross and net receivables sold, retained interest, and purchased beneficial interest as of September 30, 2002.

              A decline in the long-term senior unsecured credit ratings ofCG&E,PSI, orULH&P below investment grade would result in a termination of the sale program and discontinuance of future sales of receivables, and could prevent Cinergy Receivables from borrowing additional funds from commercial paper conduits.

      6.                        Energy Trading Credit Risk

       

      Cinergy'sCinergy’s extension of credit for energy marketing and trading is governed by a Corporate Credit Policy.  Written guidelines document the management approval levels for credit limits, evaluation of creditworthiness, and credit risk mitigation procedures.  Exposures to credit risks are monitored daily by the Corporate Credit Risk function.  As of September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, approximately 98 percent of the credit exposure related to energy trading and marketing activity was with counterparties rated Investment Grade or the counterparties’ obligations were guaranteed by a parent company or other entity rated Investment Grade.  No single non-investment grade counterparty accounts for more than one percent of our total credit exposure.  Energy commodity prices can be extremely volatile and the market can, at times, lack liquidity.  Because of these issues, credit risk for energy commodities is generally greater than with other commodity trading.

       In December 2001, Enron Corp. (Enron) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of New York. We decreased our trading activities with Enron in the months prior to its bankruptcy filing. We intend to resolve any contract differences pursuant to the terms of those contracts, business practices, and the applicable provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as approved by the court. While we cannot predict the court's resolution of these matters, we do not believe that any exposure relating to those contracts would have a material impact on our financial

      33



      position or results of operations. While most of our contracts with Enron were considered trading and thus recorded at fair value, a few contracts were accounted for utilizing the normal exemption under Statement 133 (see Note 1(d)(iv)). These contracts were recognized at fair value when the contracts were terminated in the fourth quarter of 2001.

      We continually review and monitor our credit exposure to all counterparties and secondary counterparties.  If appropriate, we may adjust our credit reserves to attempt to compensate for increased credit risk within the industry.  Counterparty credit limits may be adjusted on a daily basis in response to changes in a counterparty'scounterparty’s creditworthiness, financial status, or public debt ratings.

      7.                        Commitments and Contingencies

      (a)                                  Guarantees

       

      In the ordinary course of business, Cinergy Corp. has made separate guaranteesenters into various agreements providing financial or performance assurances to certain counterparties regarding performancethird parties on behalf of commitments by our consolidated subsidiaries,certain unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures.  WeThese agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise attributed to these entitieson a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the extension of sufficient credit to accomplish their intended commercial purposes.  The guarantees have various termination dates, from short-term (less than one year) to open-ended.

      In many cases, the maximum potential amount of an outstanding guarantee is an express term, set forth in the guarantee agreement, representing the maximum potential obligation of Cinergy under that guarantee (excluding, at times, certain legal fees to which a guaranty beneficiary may be entitled).  In those cases where there is no maximum potential amount expressly set forth in

      39



      the guarantee agreement, we calculate the maximum potential amount by considering the terms of the guaranteed transactions, to the extent such amount is estimable.

      Cinergy has guaranteed the payment of $33 million as of March 31, 2003, for unconsolidated subsidiaries’ debt and for borrowings by individuals under the Director, Officer, and Key Employee Stock Purchase Program.  Cinergy may be obligated to pay the debt’s principal and any related interest in the event of an unexcused breach of a guaranteed payment obligation by the unconsolidated subsidiary or an unexcused breach of guaranteed payment obligations by certain directors, officers, and key employees.  The majority of these guarantees expire in two years.

      Cinergy Corp. has also provided performance guarantees on behalf of certain unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures.  These guarantees support performance under various agreements and instruments (such as construction contracts, operation and maintenance agreements and energy service agreements).  Cinergy Corp. may be liable in the event of an unexcused breach of a guaranteed performance obligation by an unconsolidated subsidiary.  Cinergy Corp. has estimated its maximum potential amount to be $133 million under these guarantees as of March 31, 2003.  Cinergy Corp. may also have recourse to third parties for claims required to be paid under certain of these guarantees.  The majority of these guarantees expire at the completion of the underlying performance agreements, generally 15 to 20 years.

      Cinergy has entered into contracts that include indemnification provisions as a routine part of its business activities.  Examples of thesecontracts include purchase and sale agreements and operating agreements.  In general, these provisions indemnify the counterparty for matters such as breaches of representations and warranties and covenants contained in the contract.  In some cases, particularly with respect to purchase and sale agreements, the potential liability for certain indemnification obligations is capped, in whole or in part (generally at an aggregate amount not exceeding the sale price), and subject to a Securitiesdeductible amount beforeany payments would become due.In other cases (such as indemnifications for willful misconduct of employees in a joint venture), the maximum potential amount is not estimable given that the magnitude of any claims under those indemnifications would be a function of the extent of damages actually incurred, which is not practicable to estimate unless and Exchange Commission orderuntil the event occurs.  Cinergy has estimated the maximum potential amount, where estimable, to be $129 million under these indemnification provisions and considers the Public Utility Holding Company Actlikelihood of 1935, as amended, which limitsmaking any material payments under these provisions to be remote.  The termination period for the amount we can have outstanding under guarantees atmajority of matters provided by indemnification provisions in purchase and sale agreements generally ranges from one to six years.

      We believe the likelihood that Cinergy would be required to perform or otherwise incur any one time to $2 billion. Assignificant losses associated with any or all of September 30, 2002, we had $547 million outstanding under the guarantees issued, of which approximately 75 percent represents guarantees of obligations reflected onCinergy's Consolidated Balance Sheets. These outstanding guarantees relate to subsidiary and joint venture indebtedness and performance commitments.described in the preceding paragraphs is remote.

      (b)                                  Ozone Transport Rulemakings

       

      In June 1997, the Ozone Transport Assessment Group, which consisted of 37 states, made a wide range of recommendations to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to address the impact of ozone transport on serious non-attainment areas (geographic areas defined by the EPA as non-compliant

      40



      with ozone standards) in the Northeast, Midwest, and South.  Ozone transport refers to wind-blown movement of ozone and ozone-causing materials across city and state boundaries. In late 1997, the EPA published a proposed call for revisions to State Implementation Plans (SIP) for achieving emissions reductions to address air quality concerns. The EPA must approve all SIPs.

       

      (i)(i)               Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) SIPState Implementation Plan (SIP) Call

       

      In October 1998, the EPA finalized its ozone transport rule, also known as the NOX SIP Call.  It applied to 22 states in the Easterneastern half of the U.S.United States (U.S.), including the three states in which our electric utilities operate, and proposed a model NOX emission allowance-tradingallowance trading program.  This rule recommended that states reduce NOX emissions primarily from industrial and utility sources to a certain level by May 2003. The EPA gave the affected states until September 30, 1999, to incorporate NOX reductions and, at the discretion of the state, a NOX trading program into their SIPs. The EPA proposed to implement a federal plan to accomplish the equivalent NOX reductions by May 1, 2003, if states failed to revise their SIPs.

              Ohio, Indiana, a number of other states, and various industry groups (some of which we are a member), filed legal challenges to the NOX SIP Call withIn August 2000, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Court of Appeals).

              Following a number of rulings and appeals, in August 2000, the Court of Appeals extended the deadline for NOX reductions to May 31, 2004. The states and other groups sought review of the Court of Appeals ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court (Supreme Court). In March 2001, the Supreme Court decided not to grant that review.

        In June 2001, the Court of Appeals remanded portions of the NOX SIP Call to the EPA for reconsideration of how growth was factored into the state NOX budgets.  On May 1, 2002, the EPA published, in the Federal Register, a final rule reaffirming its growth factors and state NOX budgets,

      34



      with additional explanation.  The states of West Virginia and Illinois, along with various industry groups (some of which we are a member), have challenged the growth factors and state NOX budgets in an action filed in the Court of Appeals.  It is unclear when the Court of Appeals will reach a decision in this case, or whether this decision will result in an increase or decrease in the size of the NOX reduction requirement, or a deferral of the May 31, 2004 compliance deadline.

      The states of Indiana and Kentucky developed final NOX SIP rules in response to the NOX SIP Call, through cap and trade programs, in June and July of 2001, respectively.  On November 8, 2001, the EPA approved Indiana'sIndiana’s SIP rules, which became effective December 10, 2001.  On April 11, 2002, the EPA proposed direct final approval of Kentucky'sKentucky’s rules and they became effective on June 10, 2002.  The state of Ohio completed its NOX SIP rules in response to the NOX SIP Call on July 8, 2002, with an effective date of July 18, 2002,2002.  On January 16, 2003, the EPA proposed a direct final rule to approve Ohio’s SIP.  The EPA has since withdrawn that proposal, and now intends to issue a conditional approval, which will not take effect until Ohio changes one specific aspect of its final rule (relating to the EPA's approval is expected later this year.date flow control takes effect).  Cinergy’sCinergy's current plans for compliance with the EPA'sEPA’s NOX SIP Call would also satisfy compliance with Indiana'sIndiana’s, Kentucky’s, and Kentucky'sOhio’s SIP rules and Ohio's proposed rules.

      On September 25, 2000,Cinergy announced a plan for its subsidiaries,CG&E andPSI, to invest in pollution control equipment and other methods to reduce NOX emissions.  This plan includes the following:

                        install nine selective catalytic reduction units at several different generating stations;

                        install other pollution control technologies, including new computerized combustion controls, at all generating stations;

                        make combustion improvements; and

                        utilize the NOX allowance market to buy or sell NOX allowances as appropriate.

      The current estimate offor additional expenditures for this investment is approximately $350$238 million (in nominal dollars) and includesis in addition to the following:

        install selective catalytic reduction units (SCR) at several different generating stations;

        install other pollution control technologies, including new computer software, at all generating stations;

        make combustion improvements; and

        utilize market opportunities$604 million already incurred to buy and sell NOX allowances.

              SCRs are the most proven technology currently available for reducing NOX emissions produced in coal-fired generating stations.comply with this program.

       

      41



      (ii)           Section 126 Petitions

       

      In February 1998, several northeast states filed petitions seeking the EPA'sEPA’s assistance in reducing ozone in the Eastern U.S. under Section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).  The EPA believes that Section 126 petitions allow a state to claim that sources in another state are contributing to its air quality problem and request that the EPA require the upwind sources to reduce their emissions.

      In December 1999, the EPA granted four Section 126 petitions relating to NOXemissions.  This ruling affected all of our Ohio and Kentucky facilities, as well as some of our Indiana facilities, and requiresrequired us to reduce our NOX emissions to a certain level by May 2003.  In May 2001, the Court of Appeals substantially upheld a challenge to the Section 126 requirements, and remanded portions of the rule to the EPA for reconsideration of how growth was factored into the emission limitations.  On August 24, 2001, the Court of Appeals temporarily suspended the Section 126 compliance deadline, pending the EPA's reconsideration of growth factors. On May 1, 2002, the EPA issued a final rule extending the Section 126 rule compliance deadline to May 31, 2004, thus harmonizing the deadline with that for the NOX SIP Call.

       (iii)    State Ozone Plans

      On November 15, 1999,April 4, 2003, the EPA issued a proposed rule withdrawing the Section 126 rule in states with approved SIPs under the NOX SIP Call, which include the states of Indiana and Kentucky (along with Jefferson County, Kentucky) jointly filed an amendment to their attainment demonstration on how they intend to bring the Greater Louisville Area (including Floyd and Clark Counties in Indiana) into attainment with the one-hour ozone standard.Kentucky.  The Greater Louisville Area has since attained the one-hour ozone standard, and on October 23, 2001,proposed rule states that the EPA re-designatedwill withdraw the area as beingSection 126 in attainment withOhio once Ohio has a fully approved SIP.  As a result of these actions, we anticipate that standard. Previous SIP amendments called for, among other things, statewide NOX reductions from utilities inthe Section 126 rule will not affect any of our facilities.

      35



      Indiana, Kentucky, and surrounding states which are less stringent than the EPA's NOX SIP Call. Indiana and Kentucky committed to adopt utility NOX control rules by December 2000 that would require controls be installed by May 2003. However, Indiana halted the rulemaking for NOX controls at this level, but completed NOX SIP Call level reduction regulations. Kentucky has completed its rulemaking, and issued a final rule that changed the compliance deadline to mirror the NOX SIP Call of May 31, 2004. However, on March 18, 2002, Kentucky completed the withdrawal of this regulation in favor of its completed and more restrictive regulations in response to the NOX SIP Call.

      See (e) below for a discussion of the tentative EPA Agreement, the implementation of which could affect our strategy for compliance with the final NOX SIP Call.

      (c)                                  New Source Review (NSR)

       

      The CAA'sCAA’s NSR provisions require that a company obtain a pre-construction permit if it plans to build a new stationary source of pollution or make a major modification to an existing facility, unless the changes are exempt.

              On September 15, 1999, November 3, 1999, and February 2, 2001, the Attorneys General of New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey, respectively, issued letters notifyingCinergy andCG&E of their intent to sue under the citizens' suit provisions of the CAA. These states alleged violations of the CAA by constructing and continuing to operate a major modification ofCG&E's W.C. Beckjord Generating Station (Beckjord Station) without obtaining the required NSR pre-construction permits.

      On November 3, 1999, the EPAUnited States sued a number of holding companies and electric utilities, includingCinergy,CG&E, andPSI, in various U.S. District Courts (District Court).Courts.  TheCinergy,CG&E, andPSI suit alleged violations of the CAA at two of our generating stations relating to NSR and New Source Performance Standards requirements.  The suit sought (1) injunctive relief to require installation of pollution control technology on each of the generating units at CG&E’s W.C. Beckjord Generating Station (Beckjord Station) and atPSI’sPSI's Cayuga Generating Station, (Cayuga Station), and (2) civil penalties in amounts of up to $27,500 per day for each violation.

              On March 1, 2000,  Since that time, two amendments to the EPA filed an amended complaint againstCinergy,CG&E, andPSI. The amended complaint added alleged violations of the NSR requirements of the CAA at two of our generating stations contained in a notice of violation (NOV)have been filed by the EPA on November 3, 1999. It also added claims for relief of alleged violations of nonattainment NSR, Indiana and Ohio SIPs, and particulate matter emission limits (as discussed below in (d)).

              The amended complaint sought (1) injunctive relief to require installation of pollution control technology on each of the generating units at Beckjord Station andPSI's Cayuga Station, Wabash River Generating Station, and Gallagher Generating Station, and such other measures as necessary, and (2) civil penalties in amounts of up to $27,500 per day for each violation.

              On March 1, 2000, the EPA also filed an amended complaint in a separate lawsuitUnited States, alleging additional violations of the CAA, relating to NSR, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)including allegations involving different generating units.  In addition, three northeast states and two environmental groups have intervened in the case.

      On December 21, 2000, Cinergy, CG&E, and Ohio SIP requirements regarding various generating stations, includingPSI reached an agreement in principle with the parties in the litigation for a generating station operated by the Columbus Southern Power Company (CSP) and jointly-owned by CSP, the Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), andCG&E. The EPA is seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties of up to $27,500 per day for each violation. This suit is being defended by CSP. On April 4, 2001, the District Court in that case ruled that neither the Government nor the intervening plaintiff environmental groups could obtain civil penalties for any alleged violations that occurred more than five years prior to the filingnegotiated resolution of the complaint, but that both parties could seek injunctive reliefCAA claims in the litigation.  See (e) below for alleged violations that occurred more than five years before the filinga discussion of the complaint. Thus, if the plaintiffs prevail in their claims, any calculation for penalties will not start on the date of the alleged violations, unless those alleged violations occurred after November 3, 1994, but CSP would be forcedtentative EPA Agreement, which relates to install the controls required under the CAA. Neither party appealed that decision.matters discussed within this note.

      42



              On June 28, 2000, the EPA issued an NOV toCinergy,CG&E, andPSI for alleged violations of NSR, PSD, and SIP requirements atCG&E's Miami Fort Generating Station andPSI's Gibson Generating Station. In addition,Cinergy andCG&E have been informed by DP&L, the operator of J.M. Stuart Generating Station (Stuart Station), that on June 30, 2000, the EPA issued an NOV to DP&L for alleged violations of NSR, PSD, and SIP requirements at this station.CG&E owns 39 percent of the Stuart Station. The NOVs indicated the EPA may (1) issue an order requiring compliance with the requirements of the SIP, or (2) bring a civil action seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties of up to $27,500 per day for each violation.

              On August 2, 2001, the states of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut filed an assented to motion to intervene in this litigation. Their motion was granted by the District Court on August 3, 2001. The states' proposed complaint is an exhibit to the motion to intervene.Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI are in the process of evaluating the states' complaint, and their answer is due to be filed by November 30, 2002. At this time,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI are unable to determine the effect, if any, this filing will have on the issues affecting us regarding NSR, as framed in the EPA's amended complaint.

              On January 17, 2002, the Hoosier Environmental Council and the Ohio Environmental Council (Environmental Groups) filed an unopposed motion to intervene as plaintiffs in this litigation. The motion was granted by the District Court on March 19, 2002, and the complaint of the Environmental Groups' was filed on May 1, 2002.Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI are in the process of evaluating the Environmental Groups' complaint, and their answer is due to be filed by November 30, 2002. At this time,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI are unable to determine the effect, if any, this filing will have upon the issues affecting us regarding NSR, as framed in the EPA's amended complaint.

              On July 18, 2002, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana (Indiana District Court), issued an order on a motion for partial summary judgment in a similar case involving the Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Company (SIGECO). The narrow issue presented by SIGECO's motion was at what point does an owner or operator of facilities have to determine whether a pre-construction permit is required under the CAA. The Indiana District Court, relying in part upon a decision issued by the Environmental Appeals Board in a similar case involving the Tennessee Valley Authority, ruled that the owner or operator must review evidence of the projected post-project emissions increases to determine if the pre-construction permit is required, and may not rely upon evidence of actual post-project emissions. The Indiana District Court is the same court in whichCinergy's case is pending, so it could be expected that this order would influence a decision upon any similar motion filed byCinergy. No such motion is pending at this date. At this timeCinergy cannot predict the impact any such ruling might have on its financial position or results of operations.

              On July 26, 2002, the Indiana District Court also issued an order on a motion for partial summary judgment in the SIGECO case. The issue presented by SIGECO's motion was whether the general federal five-year statute of limitations bars an action for civil penalties for allegedly unlawful construction projects that were completed more than five years prior to the filing of suit. The Indiana District Court held that an NSR preconstruction violation accrues on the first day of construction without a permit, and continues only through the end of construction. Accordingly, the government may not collect civil penalties for allegedly unlawful projects for which construction ended more than five years before the filing of an enforcement action.Cinergy is not aware that any notice of appeal has been filed regarding that order.Cinergy will file a similar motion if the parties fail to enter into a consent decree to settle all issues. At this timeCinergy cannot predict the impact on our financial position or results of operations, although the amount of penalties, if any, that could potentially be awarded by the Indiana District Court if the ruling is not reversed, would be significantly smaller than the amount claimed by the EPA in its amended complaint againstCinergy.

      37



              On October 25, 2002, the Indiana District Court also issued an order on a motion for summary judgment in the SIGECO case. The issue presented by SIGECO's motion was whether or not the Government violated the Congressional Review of Agency Rule Making Act, 5 U.S.C. Section 801,et seq. (CRA) by establishing a new agency rule without submitting a report to Congress about the rule as required by the CRA. SIGECO had argued that, at least since the filing of the NSR lawsuit against it in November 1999, the EPA was interpreting more strictly the NSR routine maintenance exemption that had been validated by the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals inWisconsin Electric Power Co. v. Reilly, 893 F.2d 901 (7th Cir. 1990), and that this new, stricter interpretation in effect established a new agency rule. In denying SIGECO's motion, the Indiana District Court held that SIGECO had failed to demonstrate that the EPA had changed its longstanding interpretation of the NSR routine maintenance exemption. As the Indiana District Court is the same court in whichCinergy's case is pending, it could be expected that this order would influence a decision upon any similar motion filed byCinergy. However, no such motion is pending at this date.Cinergy cannot predict the impact any such ruling might have on its financial position or results of operations.

      On October 4, 2002, the Indiana District Court issued a Revised Case Management Plan inCinergy’sCinergy's case that sets forth the dates by which various events in the litigation, such as discovery and the filing of dispositive motions, must be completed.  Consistent with the plan, on October 9, 2002, the Indiana District Court set the case for trial by jury commencing on October 4, 2004.

       See (e) below for

      At this time, it is not possible to predict whether a discussionfinal agreement implementing the agreement in principle can be reached.  The parties continue to negotiate.  If the settlement is not completed, we intend to defend against the allegations vigorously in court.  In such an event, it is not possible to determine the likelihood that the plaintiffs would prevail upon their claims or whether resolution of the tentative EPA Agreement, which relates tothese matters discussed within this note.would have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

      (d)                                  Beckjord Station NOVNotice of Violation (NOV)

       

      On November 30, 1999, the EPA filed an NOV againstCinergy andCG&E, alleging that emissions of particulate matter at the Beckjord Station exceeded the allowable limit. The NOV indicated the EPA may (1) issue an administrative penalty order, or (2) file a civil action seeking injunctive relief and civil penalties of up to $27,500 per day for each violation.  The allegations contained in this NOV were incorporated within the March 1, 2000 amended complaint, as discussed in (c) above.  On June 22, 2000, the EPA issued an NOV and a finding of violation (FOV) alleging additional particulate emission violations at Beckjord Station and offered us an opportunity to meet and discuss the allegations and corrective measures.Station.  The NOV/FOV indicated the EPA may issue an administrative compliance order, issue an administrative penalty order, or bring a civil or criminal action.

      See (e) below for a discussion of the tentative EPA Agreement, which relates to matters discussed within this note.

      (e)                                  EPA Agreement

       

      On December 21, 2000,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI reached an agreement in principle with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice (Justice Department),United States, three northeast states, and two environmental groups that could serve as the basis for a negotiated resolution of CAA claims and other related matters brought against coal-fired power plants owned and operated byCinergy’sCinergy's operating subsidiaries.  The complete resolution of these issues is contingent upon establishing a final agreement with the EPA and other parties.  If a final agreement is reached with these parties, it would resolve past claims of alleged NSR violations as well as the Beckjord Station NOVs/FOV discussed previously under (c) and (d).

       In addition, the intent of the tentative agreement is that we would be allowed to continue on-going activities to maintain reliability and availability without subjecting the plants to future litigation regarding federal NSR permitting requirements.

      38



      In return for resolution of claims regarding past maintenance activities, as well as future operational certainty, we have tentatively agreed to:

        shut down or repower with natural gas, nine small coal-fired boilers at three power plants beginning in 2004;

        build four additional sulfur dioxide (SO2) scrubbers, the first of which must be operational by December 31, 2007;

        upgrade existing particulate control systems;

        phase in the operation of NOX reduction technology year-round starting in 2004;

        reduce our existing Title IV SO2 cap by 35 percent in 2013;

        pay a civil penalty of $8.5 million to the U.S. government; and

        43




        implement $21.5 million in environmental mitigation projects, including retiring 50,000 tons of SO2 allowances by 2005.

      The estimated cost for these capital expenditures is expected to be approximately $700 million through 2013.  These capital expenditures are in addition to our previously announced commitment to install NOX controls as discussed in (b) above, but includesdoes include capital costs thatCinergy would otherwise expect to spend regardless of the settlement due to new environmental requirements expected in the second half of this decade.

       

      Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI have accrued costs related to certain aspects of the tentative agreement.  In reaching the tentative agreement, we did not admit any wrongdoing and remain free to continue our current maintenance practices, as well as implement future projects for improved reliability.

              In January 2002, the Justice Department completed its review of NSR, after considering dismissal of the lawsuits, and decided to pursue the pending lawsuits, including the suit againstCinergy,CG&E, andPSI. We will continue to pursue a negotiated settlement of these lawsuits if that continues to be in the best interests of the company.

      At this time, it is not possible to predict whether a final agreement implementing the agreement in principle can be reached.  The parties continue to negotiate.  If the settlement is not completed, we intend to defend against the allegations, discussed in (c) and (d) above, vigorously in court.  In such an event, it is not possible to determine the likelihood that the plaintiffs would prevail onupon their claims or whether resolution of these matters would have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

      (f)                                    Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Sites

       (i)    General

      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.

       (ii)    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 sites whichPSI or its predecessors previously owned.PSI acquired four of the sites from Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO) in 1931.  At the same time,PSI sold NIPSCO the sites located in Goshen and Warsaw, Indiana.  In 1945,PSI sold 19 of these sites (including the four sites it acquired from NIPSCO) to the predecessor of the Indiana Gas Company, Inc. (IGC).  IGC later sold the site located in Rochester, Indiana to NIPSCO.

      39



      IGC (in 1994) and NIPSCO (in 1995) both made claims againstPSI. The basis of these claims was thatPSI is a Potentially Responsible Party with respect to the 21 MGP sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). The claims further asserted thatPSI was legally responsible for the costs of investigating and remediating the sites.  In August 1997, NIPSCO filed suit againstPSI in federal court, claiming recovery (pursuant to CERCLA) of NIPSCO's past and future costs of investigating and remediating MGP-related contamination at the Goshen, Indiana MGP site.

              In November 1998, NIPSCO, IGC, andPSI entered into a Site Participation and Cost Sharing Agreement (Agreement)Agreements (Agreements)This AgreementThese Agreements allocated CERCLAthe Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) liability for past and future costs at seventhe MGP sites in Indiana among the three companies. As a result of the Agreement, NIPSCO's lawsuit againstPSI was dismissed. The parties have assigned lead responsibility for managing further investigation and remediation activities at each of the sites to one of the parties. Similar agreements were reached between IGC andPSI that allocate CERCLA liability at 14 MGP sites with which NIPSCO was not involved.  These agreements concluded all CERCLA and similar claims between the three companies related to MGP sites.  The parties continue to investigate and remediate the sites, as appropriate, under the agreements and applicable laws.  The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) oversees investigation and cleanup of some of the sites.

       

      PSI notified its insurance carriers of the claims related to MGP sites raised by IGC, NIPSCO, and IDEM.  In April 1998,PSI filed suit in Hendricks County Circuit Court in the State of

      44



      Indiana against its general liability insurance carriers.PSI sought a declaratory judgment to obligate its insurance carriers to (1) defend MGP claims againstPSI, or (2) payPSI’sPSI's costs of defense and compensatePSI for its costs of investigating, preventing, mitigating, and remediating damage to property and paying claims related to MGP sites.  The lawsuit was moved to the Hendricks County Superior Court (Superior Court) in July 1998.PSI and its insurance carriers filed briefs on various issues for decision by the Superior Court in hearings held in November 2001. On February 1, 2002, the Superior Court  The trial court issued rulings on motions for summary judgment. The Superior Court granted the motionsa variety of several insurance carriers that claimed there was insufficient evidence concerning the terms of their insurance policies. The insurance policies in question were between 1950-1958 and 1961-1964. The Superior Court entered a final judgment with respect to these "lost policies" on March 25, 2002. With respect to the remaining policies (between 1958-1961 and 1964-1984), the Superior Court denied all of the insurance carriers' motions. This included motions on the issues of Trigger of Coverage, Expected or Intended Damage, Late Notice, and Voluntary Payments. The Superior Court found triable issues of fact for the jury to decide as to the former two issues, and ruled inPSI's favor, as a matter of law, on the latter two issues. On February 15, 2002,PSI requested rulings on certain remaining summary judgment issues and a clarification of certain of the Superior Court's summary judgment rulings. That request was denied on April 1, 2002. On March 15, 2002, one of the insurance carriers filed a motion for partial summary judgment asserting a Lack of Justiciability. That motion was heard on April 26, 2002, and denied by the Superior Court on April 30, 2002.

              On April 23, 2002,PSI filed a notice of appeal with the Indiana Court of Appeals with respect to the Superior Court's March 25, 2002 order granting final judgment with respectclaims and defenses in the litigation.  PSI has appealed certain adverse rulings to certain "lost policies." On June 21, 2002, the Superior Court granted the motions ofPSI and the insurance carriers and certified four orders for interlocutory review by the Indiana Court of Appeals.  Unlike the "lost policies" appeal that is an appeal of right, the appeal of these four certified orders is discretionary and the Indiana Court of Appeals can accept or reject any or all of the issues certified. At the present time,PSI cannot predict the outcome of this litigation, including the outcome of the appeals to the Indiana Court of Appeals.

      40



      (iii)    CG&E 

      CG&E and its utility subsidiaries are is 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 has begun preliminary site assessments to obtain information about some of these MGP sites.

       

      PSI andCG&E, including its utility subsidiaries, have accrued costs for the sites related to investigation, remediation, and groundwater monitoring to the extent such costs are probable and can be reasonably estimated.PSI andCG&E, including its utility subsidiaries, do not believe they can provide an estimate of the reasonably possible total remediation costs for any site before a remedial investigation/feasibility study has been completed.is performed.  To the extent remediation is necessary, the timing of the remediation activities impacts the cost of remediation.  Therefore,PSI andCG&E, including its utility subsidiaries, currently cannot determine the total costs that may be incurred in connection with remediation of all sites, to the extent that remediation is required.  Until investigation and remediation activities have been completed on these sites, and the extent of insurance coverage for these costs, if any, is determined, we are unable to reasonably estimate the total costs and impact on our financial position or results of operations.

      (g)                                 Asbestos Claims Litigation

       

      CG&E andPSI have been named in lawsuits related to Asbestos at their electric generating stations.  In these lawsuits, plaintiffs claim to have been exposed to Asbestos containing products in the course of their work at theCG&E andPSI generating stations.  The plaintiffs further claim that as the property owner of the generating stations,CG&E andPSI should be held liable for their injuries and illnesses based on an alleged duty to warn and protect them from any Asbestos exposure.  A majority of the lawsuits to date have been brought against PSIThe impact onCG&E's&E’s and andPSI’sPSI's financial position or results of operations of these cases to date has not been material.

      One specific case filed againstPSI has been tried to verdict.  Following a ten week trial of the case entitledWilliam Lee Roberts, Jr. and Beverly Roberts v. AC&S, Inc., et al., PSI Energy, Inc., Marion Superior Court 2, on May 24, 2002, theThe jury returned a verdict againstPSI in the amount of $494,000approximately $500,000 on a negligence claim and forPSI on punitive damages.PSI is appealing the judgment in this case.  The total damages were immaterial toPSI’sPSI's financial position and results of operations.  However, future verdicts in any of the pending lawsuits could be material. At this time,CG&E andPSIare not able to predict the ultimate outcome of these lawsuits or the impactsimpact onCG&E's&E’s and andPSI’sPSI's financial position or results of operations.

      (h)                                 Gas Customer Choice

      In January 2000, Cinergy Investments Inc. (Investments) sold Cinergy Resources, Inc. (Resources), a former subsidiary, to Licking Rural Electrification, Inc., doing business as The Energy

      45



      Cooperative (Energy Cooperative).  In February 2001,Cinergy,CG&E, and Resources were named as defendants in three class action lawsuits brought by customers relating to Energy Cooperative'sCooperative’s removal from the Ohio Gas Customer Choice program and the failure to deliver gas to customers.

      Subsequently, these class action suits were amended and consolidated into one suit.CG&E has been dismissed as a defendant in the consolidated suit.  In March 2001,Cinergy,CG&E, and Investments were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by both Energy Cooperative and Resources.  This lawsuit concerns any obligations or liabilities Investments may have to Energy Cooperative following its sale of Resources.  This lawsuit is pending in the Licking County Common Pleas Court.  Trial is anticipated to occur in late 2003 or early 2004.  In October 2001, Cinergy,CG&E, and Investments initiated litigation in October 2001 against the Energy Cooperative requesting indemnification by the Energy Cooperative for the claims asserted by former customers in the class action litigation.  TrialThis customer litigation is scheduled to occurpending in mid-2003.the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court.  A trial date has not been set.  We intend to vigorously defend these lawsuits.  At the present time,Cinergy we cannot predict the outcome of these suits.

      (i)                                    PSI Fuel Adjustment Charge

       

              As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K,PSI defers fuel costs that are recoverable in future periods subject to Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) approval under a fuel recovery mechanism. In June 2001, the IURC issued an order in aPSI fuel recovery proceeding, disallowing approximately $14 million of deferred costs. In June 2001,PSI formally requested that the IURC reconsider its disallowance decision. In August 2001, the IURC indicated that it would reconsider its decision andPSI continued the deferral of these costs. In August 2002, the IURC issued its final ruling allowingPSI to fully recover the $14 million.

              In June 2001,PSI filed a petition with the IURC requesting authority to recover $16 million in under-billedunder billed deferred fuel costs incurred from March 2001 through May 2001.  The IURC approved recovery of these costs subject to refund pending the findings of an investigative sub-docket.  The sub-docket was opened to investigate the reasonableness of, and underlying reasons for, the under-billedunder billed deferred fuel costs.  A hearing was held in July 2002, and in March 2003 the IURC issued an order giving final approval to PSI’s recovery of the $16 million.

      (j)                                    PSI Retail Rate Case

      In December 2002, PSI filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of a base retail electric rate increase.  PSI filed initial testimony in this case in March 2003.  PSI proposes an increase in revenues of approximately $200 million, or an average increase of approximately 15 percent over PSI’s retail electric rates in effect at the end of 2002.  An IURC decision is expected in the first quarter of 2004.

      46



      (k)                                PSI Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) Ratemaking Treatment for NOX Equipment

      In April 2003, PSI filed an application with the IURC requesting that its CWIP rate adjustment mechanism be updated for expenditures through December 2002 related to NOX equipment currently being installed at certain PSI generation facilities.  CWIP ratemaking treatment allows for the recovery of carrying costs on certain pollution control equipment while and after the equipment is under construction.  Testimony and exhibits supporting PSI’s second CWIP rate adjustment mechanism update have not yet been filed.  However, amounts proposed for potential recovery are presented below:

      Amounts include retail customers’ portion only and represent an annual return on qualified NOX equipment expenditures.

      PSI’s initial CWIP rate mechanism adjustment (authorized in July 2002) resulted in an approximately one percent increase in customer rates.  Under the IURC’s CWIP rules, PSI may update its CWIP tracker at six-month intervals.  The first such update to PSI’s CWIP rate mechanism occurred in the first quarter of 2003.  The IURC’s July 2002 order also authorized PSI to defer, for subsequent recovery, post-in-service depreciation and to continue the accrual for allowance for funds used during construction (AFUDC).  Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 92, Regulated Enterprises-Accounting for Phase-in Plans, the equity component of AFUDC will not be deferred for financial reporting after the related assets are placed in service.

      (l)                                    PSI Purchased Power Tracker (Tracker)

      The Tracker was designed to provide for the recovery of costs related to purchases of power necessary to meet native load requirements to the extent such costs are not recovered through the existing fuel adjustment clause.

      PSI is authorized to seek recovery of 90 percent of its purchased power expenses through the Tracker (net of the displaced energy portion recovered through the fuel recovery process and net of the mitigation credit portion), with the remaining 10 percent deferred for subsequent recovery in PSI’s general rate case.  In March 2002, PSI filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval to extend the Tracker process beyond the summer of 2002.  A hearing was held on January 16, 2003, and the case is now awaiting an IURC order.  We cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding at this time.

      (m)                              CG&E Gas Rate Case

      In the third quarter of 2001, CG&E filed a retail gas rate case with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) seeking to increase base rates for natural gas distribution service and requesting recovery through a tracking mechanism of the costs of an accelerated gas main replacement program with an estimated capital cost of $716 million over 10 years.  CG&E entered into a settlement agreement with most of the parties and a hearing on this matter was held in April 2002.  An order was issued in May 2002, in which the PUCO approved the settlement agreement and authorized a base rate increase of approximately $15 million, or 3.3 percent overall, effective May 30, 2002.  We anticipate a decisionIn addition, the PUCO authorized CG&E to implement the tracking mechanism to recover the costs of the accelerated gas main replacement program, subject to certain rate caps that increase in amount annually through May 2007, through the effective date of new rates in CG&E’s next retail gas rate case.  In the fourth quarter of 2002.2002, CG&E filed an application to increase its rates under the tracking mechanism.  In April 2003, CG&E entered into a settlement agreement with the parties, providing for an increase of $6.5 million, which the PUCO subsequently approved.

      (j)(n)                                 ULH&P Gas Rate Case

      As discussed in the 2002 10-K, in the second quarter of 2001, ULH&P filed a retail gas rate case with the Kentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) seeking to increase base rates for natural gas distribution services and requesting recovery through a tracking mechanism of the costs of an accelerated gas main replacement program with an estimated capital cost of $112 million over 10 years.  ULH&P made its second annual filing for an increase under the tracking mechanism in March 2003.  The application seeks an increase of $2 million.  ULH&P expects the KPSC to rule on the application during the second quarter of 2003.  At the present time, ULH&P cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.  The Kentucky Attorney General has appealed the KPSC’s approval of the tracking mechanism to the Franklin Circuit Court and has also appealed the KPSC’s August 2002 order approving the new tracking mechanism rates.  At the present time, ULH&P cannot predict the timing or outcome of this litigation.

      8.    Employee Severance Programs(p)                                  Enron Corp. (Enron) Bankruptcy

      In March 2002, a Voluntary Early Retirement Program (VERP) offering was made to approximately 280 non-union employees. As a resultDecember 2001, Enron filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the 213 employees electing the VERPU.S. Bankruptcy Code in the second quarterSouthern District of 2002,New York.  We decreased our trading activities with Enron in the months prior to its bankruptcy filing and have filed a motion with the bankruptcy court overseeing the Enron bankruptcy seeking appropriate netting of the various payables and receivables between and among Enron and Cinergy,CG&E, entities.  We intend to resolve any contract differences pursuant to the terms of those contracts, business practices, andPSI recorded expenses the applicable provisions of approximately $35 million, $16 million (including $2 million related toULH&P), and $18 million, respectively,the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as approved by the court.  While we cannot predict the court’s resolution of these matters, we do not believe that any exposure relating to benefits provided to the VERP participants. In the second quarterthose contracts would have a material impact on our financial position or results of 2002,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI incurred approximately $13 million, $2 million, and $4 million, respectively, in additional expenses related to other employee severance programs.operations.

              In June 2002, a VERP was also offered to approximately 70 Utility Workers of America / Independent Utilities Union # 600 (IUU) employees. As a result of the 41 employees electing the VERP in the third quarter of 2002,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI recorded expenses of approximately $4 million, $2 million (including $1 million related toULH&P), and $1 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2002 relating to benefits provided to IUU VERP participants.

        Management utilizes segment profit (loss) to evaluate segment performance.

        (3)

        The increase in 2003 is primarily due to the increase in the average price realized on wholesale commodity non-firm transactions and the sale of synthetic fuel which began in July 2002.

        (4)

        The increase in 2003 is primarily due to the increase in the average price received per thousand cubic feet (mcf) delivered reflecting a substantial increase in the wholesale gas commodity costs, which is passed directly to the retail customer dollar-for-dollar under the state mandated gas cost recovery mechanism.  Also contributing to this increase was higher mcf volumes sold due to colder than normal weather.

        11.  Ohio Deregulation

                As discussedelectric deregulation in the 2001 Form 10-K, in July 1999, Ohio Governor Robert Taft signedstate of Ohio.  The transition period is governed by Amended Substitute Senate Bill No. 3 (Electric Restructuring Bill), beginning the transition to electric deregulation and customer choice for the State of Ohio. The Electric Restructuring Bill created a competitive electric retail service market effective January 1, 2001. The legislation provides for a market development period that began January 1, 2001, and ends no later than December 31, 2005. During the market development period, electric rates toCG&E customers are frozen.

        46



                In May 2000,CG&E reached a stipulated agreement with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) staffadopted and various other interested parties with respect to its proposal to implement electric customer choice in Ohio effective January 1, 2001. In August 2000, the PUCO approvedCG&E's stipulation agreement. Subsequently, two parties filed applications for rehearing with by the PUCO.  In October 2000, the PUCO denied these applications. One of the parties appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court in the fourth quarter of 2000 andUnder CG&E&E’s subsequently intervened in that case. In April 2002, the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the PUCO's stipulated agreement withCG&E with respect to implementing electric customer choice. The Ohio Supreme Court ruling leavesCG&E's transition plan entirely intact.

                UnderCG&E's transition plan, retail customers continue to receive transportation services fromCG&E, but may purchase electricity from another supplier.  Retail customers that purchase electricity from another supplier receive shopping credits fromCG&E.  The shopping credits generally reflect the costs of electric generation included inCG&E's&E’s frozen rates.  However, shopping credits for the first 20 percent of electricity usage in each customer class to switch suppliers are higher thanCG&E's&E’s electric generation costs in order to stimulate the development of the competitive retail electric retail service market.

        CG&E recovers its regulatory assets and other transition costs through a Regulatory Transition Charge (RTC) paid by all retail customers.  As the RTC is collected from customers, CG&E amortizes the deferred balance of regulatory assets and other transition costs.  A portion of the RTC collected from customers is recognized currently as a return on the deferred balance of regulatory assets and other transition costs and as reimbursement for the difference in the shopping credits provided to customers and the wholesale revenues from switched generation.  The ability of CG&E to recover its regulatory assets and other transition costs is dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, the level of CG&E’s electric sales, prices in the wholesale power markets, and the amount of customers switching to other electric suppliers.

        On January 10, 2003, CG&E filed an application with the PUCO for approval of a methodology to establish how market-based rates for non-residential customers will be determined when the market development period ends.  In the filing, CG&E seeks to establish a market-based standard service offer rate for non-residential customers that do not switch suppliers and a process for establishing the competitively bid generation service option required by the Electric Restructuring Bill.  As of March 31, 2003, more than 20 percent of the load in each of CG&E’s non-residential customer classes has switched to other electric suppliers.  Under its transition plan, CG&E may end the market development period for those classes of customers once 20 percent switching has been achieved; however, PUCO approval of the standard service offer rate and competitive bidding process is required before the market development period can be ended.  CG&E is not requesting to end the market development period for non-residential customers at this time.  CG&E is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

        11.                 Transfer of Generating Assets

        In December 2002, the IURC approved a settlement agreement among PSI, the Indiana Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor, and the IURC Testimonial Staff authorizing PSI’s purchase of the Henry County, Indiana and Butler County, Ohio, gas-fired peaking plants from two non-regulated affiliates.  In February 2003, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order that was effective April 2002, allowedCinergy to jointly dispatch the regulated generating assets ofPSI in conjunction with the deregulated generating assets ofCG&E. The order also authorizes the transferunder Section 203 of the Federal Power Act authorizing PSI’sCG&E generating assets to a non-regulated affiliate. However,Cinergy has determined that it can realize the benefits acquisition of the new joint dispatch agreement without transferringCG&E's generation assets. Therefore, whileCG&E will continueplants, which occurred on February 5, 2003.  Subsequently, in April 2003, the FERC issued a tolling order allowing additional time to pursue any remaining regulatory and other approvals alreadyconsider a request for rehearing filed in process that are necessary forresponse to the transferFebruary 2003 FERC order.  At this time, we cannot predict the outcome ofCG&E's generation assets,Cinergy does not plan to transferCG&E's generating assets to a non-regulated affiliate in the foreseeable future. this matter.

          ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          In this reportCinergy (which includesCinergy Corp. and all of our regulated and non-regulated subsidiaries) is, at times, referred to in the first person as "we"“we”, "our"“our”, or "us"“us”.

           

          The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report and the 2001combined Form 10-K.10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (2002 10-K).  The results discussed below are not necessarily indicative of the results that may occur in any future periods.

          IntroductionINTRODUCTION

          In Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), we explain our general operating environment, as well as our liquidity and capital resources and results of operations.  Specifically, we discuss the following:

            factors affecting current and future operations;

            potential sources of cash for future capital expenditures;

            why revenues and expenses changed from period to period; and

            how the above items affect our overall financial condition.

          Organization

           

          ORGANIZATION

          Cinergy Corp., a Delaware corporation created in October 1994, owns all outstanding common stock of The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E) and PSI Energy, Inc. (PSI), both of which are public utility subsidiaries.  As a result of this ownership, we are considered a utility holding company.  Because we are a holding company with material utility subsidiaries operating in multiple states, we are registered with and are subject to regulation by the SECSecurities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended (PUHCA).  Our other principal subsidiaries are:

            Cinergy Wholesale Energy, Inc.;

            Cinergy Services, Inc. (Services);

            Cinergy Investments, Inc.;

            and

            Cinergy Global Resources, Inc.; and

            Cinergy Technologies, Inc.

           

          CG&E, an Ohio corporation, is a combination electric and gas public utility company that provides service in the southwestern portion of Ohio and, through its subsidiaries, in nearby areas of Kentucky and Indiana.CG&E's&E’s principal subsidiary, The Union Light, Heat and Power Company (ULH&P), is a Kentucky corporation that provides electric and gas service in northern Kentucky.CG&E's&E’s other subsidiaries are insignificant to its results of operations.

          In 2001,CG&E began a transition to electric deregulation and customer choice.  Currently, the competitive retail electric market in Ohio is in the development stage.CG&E is recovering its

          MD&A - - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) approved costs and retail electric rates are frozen during this market development period.

           

          PSI, an Indiana corporation, is a vertically integrated and regulated electric utility that provides service in north central, central, and southern Indiana.

           

          The majority of our operating revenues are derived from the sale of electricity and the sale and/or transportation of natural gas.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Environmental Issues

          Cinergy’s 2002 10-K, includes a discussion of certain environmental issues that could affect our liquidity.  These include:

          Ambient Air StandardsStandards;

                            Regional Haze;

                            Global Climate Change; and

                            Air Toxics Regulation.

           

          In 1997, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone and fine particulate matter. Fine particulate matter refers to very small solid or liquid particles in the air. The EPA has estimated that it will take up to five years to collect sufficient ambient air monitoring data to determine fine particulate matter non-attainment areas. A fine particulate monitoring network was put in place during 1999 and 2000. Following identification of non-attainment areas, the states will identify the sources of particulate emissions and develop emission reduction plans. These plans may be state-specific or regional in scope. We currently cannot predict the exact amount and timing of required reductions.

             ��    On May 14, 1999, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (Court of Appeals) ruled that the EPA's final rule establishing the new eight-hour ozone standard and the fine particulate matter standard constituted an invalid delegation of legislative authority, and also that the EPA had improperly failed to consider the beneficial health effects of ozone (shielding from Ultraviolet-B radiation) when it established the NAAQS ozone standards. In June 1999, the EPA appealed the conclusion that its standards constituted an invalid delegation of legislative authority, but did not appeal the decision that it is required to consider the beneficial health effects of ozone when setting the NAAQS. On February 27, 2001, the U.S. Supreme Court (Supreme Court) reversed the Court of Appeals' ruling. However, the Supreme Court invalidated the EPA's implementation procedure for the portion of the case dealing with the eight-hour ozone standard.

                  Following the Supreme Court's ruling, the Court of Appeals reconsidered the validity of the eight-hour ozone standard and the fine particulate matter standard, as a number of issues that were raised by the parties were not addressed in its original opinion invalidating those standards. On March 26, 2002, the Court of Appeals ruled in the EPA's favor on all remaining issues. Nonetheless, before the standards can be implemented, the EPA must conduct rulemaking to: (1) assess the beneficial health effects of ozone in connection with the NAAQS ozone standards; and (2) develop an approach for implementing the ozone standard in accordance with the Supreme Court's opinion. At this time, the EPA predicts that emissions reductions will be required in the 2007-2019 timeframe, but we currently cannot predict the exact amount and timing of required reductions.

                  Seeaddition, see Note 7 of the "Notes“Notes to Financial Statements"Statements” in "Part I.“Item 1.  Financial Information"Information” contained herein, for additional Environmental Issuesinformation regarding other environmental items and other matters that could effect our liquidity.

          Pensions

          Cinergy maintains qualified defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all United States (U.S.) employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements.  Plan assets consist of investments in equity and fixed income securities.  Funding for the qualified defined benefit pension plans is based upon actuarially determined contributions that take into account the amount deductible for income tax purposes and the minimum contribution required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.  Due to the decline in market value of the investment portfolio over the last few years, assets held in trust to satisfy plan obligations have decreased.  Additionally, recent decreases in long-term interest rates have the effect of increasing the measured liability for funding purposes.  As a result of these events, future funding obligations could increase substantially.  Cinergy’s minimum required contributions for calendar year 2003 are $11 million, as compared to $4 million for the calendar year 2002.  We are considering additional discretionary contributions of up to $50 million for the calendar year 2003.  The discretionary contributions would be intended to improve the overall funding of the plan.

          Other Investing Activities

          Our ability to invest in growth initiatives is limited by certain legal and regulatory requirements, including PUHCA.  The PUHCA limits the types of non-utility businesses in which Cinergy and other registered holding companies under PUHCA can invest as well as the amount of capital

          58



          that can be invested in permissible non-utility businesses.  Also, the timing and amount of investments in the non-utility businesses is dependent on the development and favorable evaluations of opportunities.  Under the PUHCA restrictions, we are allowed to invest or commit to invest in certain non-utility businesses, including:

                            Exempt Wholesale Generators (EWG) and Foreign Utility Companies (FUCO)

          An EWG is an entity, certified by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), devoted exclusively to owning and/or operating, and selling power from one or more electric generating facilities.  An EWG whose generating facilities are located in the U.S. is limited to making only wholesale sales of electricity.

          A FUCO is a company all of whose utility assets and operations are located outside the U.S. and which are used for the generation, transmission, or distribution of electric energy for sale at retail or wholesale, or the distribution of gas at retail.  A FUCO may not derive any income, directly or indirectly, from the generation, transmission or distribution of electric energy for sale or the distribution of gas at retail within the U.S.  An entity claiming status as a FUCO must provide notification thereof to the SEC under PUHCA.

          In May 2001, the SEC issued an order under PUHCA authorizing Cinergy to invest (including by way of guarantees) an aggregate amount in EWGs and FUCOs equal to the sum of (1) our average consolidated retained earnings from time to time plus (2) $2 billion.  As of March 31, 2003, we had invested or committed to invest $1.0 billion in EWGs and FUCOs, leaving available investment capacity under the May 2001 order of $2.4 billion.

                            Qualifying Facilities and Energy-Related Non-utility Entities

          SEC regulations under the PUHCA permit Cinergy and other registered holding companies to invest and/or guarantee an amount equal to 15 percent of consolidated capitalization (consolidated capitalization is the sum of Notes payable and other short-term obligations, Long-term debt (including amounts due within one year), Preferred Trust Securities, Cumulative Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries, and total Common Stock Equity) in domestic qualifying cogeneration and small power production plants (qualifying facilities) and certain other domestic energy-related non-utility entities.  At March 31, 2003, we had invested and/or guaranteed approximately $0.5billion of the $1.3 billion available.

          Guarantees

          We are subject to an SEC order under the PUHCA, which limits the amounts Cinergy Corp. can have outstanding under guarantees at any one time to $2 billion.  As of March 31, 2003, we had $608 million outstanding under the guarantees issued, of which approximately 88 percent represents guarantees of obligations reflected on Cinergy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The amount outstanding represents Cinergy Corp.’s guarantees of liabilities and commitments of its

          59



          consolidated subsidiaries, unconsolidated subsidiaries, and joint ventures.  See Note 7(a) of the “Notes to Financial Statements” in “Item 1. Financial Information” for a discussion of guarantees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (Interpretation 45).  Interpretation 45 requires disclosure of maximum potential liabilities for guarantees issued on behalf of unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures and under indemnification clauses in various contracts.  The Interpretation 45 disclosure differs from the PUHCA restrictions in that it requires a calculation of maximum potential liability, rather than actual amounts outstanding; it excludes guarantees issued on behalf of consolidated subsidiaries; and it includes potential liabilities under indemnification clauses.

          Collateral Requirements

          Cinergy has certain contracts in place, primarily with trading counterparties, that require the issuance of collateral in the event our debt ratings are downgraded below investment grade.  Based upon our March 31, 2003 trading portfolio, if such an event were to occur, Cinergy would be required to issue up to approximately $75 million in collateral related to its gas and power trading operations.

          Capital Resources

           

          We meet our current and future capital requirement needs through a combination of internally and externally generated funds, including the issuance of debt and/or equity securities.Cinergy believes that it has adequate financial resources to meet its future needs.

          Notes Payable and Other Short-term Obligations

          Short-term Borrowings

                  At September 30, 2002,We are required to secure authority to issue short-term debt from the SEC under the PUHCA and from the PUCO.  The SEC under the PUHCA regulates the issuance of short-term debt by Cinergy Corp., PSI, and ULH&P.  The PUCO has regulatory jurisdiction over the issuance of short-term debt by CG&E.

          Cinergy Corp., under the PUHCA, was granted approval to increase total capitalization (excluding retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)), which may be any combination of debt and equity securities, by $5 billion.  Outside this requirement, Cinergy Corp. is not subject to specific regulatory debt authorizations.

          For the purposes of quantifying regulatory authority, short-term debt includes revolving credit borrowings, uncommitted credit line borrowings, inter-company money pool obligations, and commercial paper.

          61



          Cinergy Corp.’s short-term borrowing consists primarily of unsecured revolving lines of credit and the sale of commercial paper.  Cinergy Corp.’s $1 billion revolving credit facilities and $800 million commercial paper program also support the short-term borrowing needs of CG&E and PSI.  In addition, Cinergy, CG&E, and PSI maintain uncommitted lines of credit.  These facilities are not firm sources of capital but rather informal agreements to lend money, subject to availability, with pricing determined at the time of advance.  The following is a summary of outstanding short-term borrowings for Cinergy, CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P, including variable rate pollution control notes:

          In April 2003, Cinergy Corp. successfully placed a $600 million, 364-day senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  This facility expiring in Februaryreplaces a $600 million, 364-day facility that expired April 30, 2003. At September 30, 2002, certain of our non-regulated subsidiaries had $6 million of unused and available revolving credit lines.

          51



          In our credit facilities,Cinergy Corp. has covenanted to maintain:

            a consolidated net worth of $2 billion; and

            a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated total capitalization not to exceedin excess of 65 percent.

           

          A breach of these covenants could result in the termination of the credit facilities and the acceleration of the related indebtedness.  In addition to breaches of covenants, certain other events that could result in the termination of available credit and acceleration of the related indebtedness include:

            bankruptcy;

            defaults in the payment of other indebtedness; and

            judgments against the company that are not paid or insured.

           

          The latter two events, however, are subject to dollar-based materiality thresholds.

                  As of September 30, 2002, our operating companies had regulatory authority to borrow up to a total of $1.27 billion in short-term debt ($671 million forCG&E and its subsidiaries, including $65 million forULH&P, and $600 million forPSI). As of September 30, 2002,CG&E and its subsidiaries had $667 million (including $63 million forULH&P) unused and available andPSI had $520 million unused and available under their respective regulatory authority.

          63


          Uncommitted Lines

                  In addition to revolving credit facilities,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI also maintain uncommitted lines of credit represented by written, enforceable agreements. However, the lenders under such agreements are not obligated to make advances and, therefore, we pay no fees for these lines of credit. The purpose of these agreements is to provide the framework (including conditions to lending and events of default) for making borrowings at an interest rate and for a term that would be determined at the time that the borrower requests an advance. At September 30, 2002,Cinergy Corp. had uncommitted lines of $65 million, of which $45 million remained unused.CG&E andPSI have established uncommitted lines of $15 million and $60 million, respectively, all of which remained unused at September 30, 2002.

          Commercial Paper

                  Cinergy Corp. has a commercial paper program with a maximum outstanding principal amount of $800 million. This program is supported byCinergy Corp.'s $1 billion revolving credit facilities. The commercial paper program at theCinergy Corp. level, in part, supports the short-term borrowing needs ofCG&E andPSI. At September 30, 2002,Cinergy Corp. had $311 million in commercial paper outstanding.

          Variable Rate Pollution Control Notes

           

          CG&E andPSI have has issued certain variable rate pollution control notes (tax-exempt notes obtained to finance equipment or land development for pollution control purposes).  Because the holders of these notes have the right to redeemhave their notes redeemed on a daily, monthly, or annual basis, they are reflected inNotes payable and other short-term obligations in on the Balance Sheets forCinergy, and CG&E, andPSI.  At September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, CG&E andPSI had $196 million and $83$112 million outstanding in short-term variable rate pollution control notes, respectively. In October 2002,classified as short-term debt.  PSI had no outstanding short-term pollution control notes.  Any short-term pollution control note borrowings outstanding do not reduce the unused and available short-term debt regulatory authority of CG&E and, PSI redeemed $84 million, and $47.6 million, respectively,ULH&P.  See Notes 4 and 5 of variable ratethe “Notes to Financial Statements” in “Item 1. Financial Information” for additional information regarding pollution control notes (see Notes 3 and 4 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information" for additional information).notes.

          Money Pool

           

          Cinergy Corp., Services, and our operating companies participate in a money pool arrangement to better manage cash and working capital requirements.  Under this arrangement, those companies with surplus short-term funds provide short-term loans to affiliates (other thanCinergy Corp.) participating under this arrangement.  This surplus cash may be from internal or external sources.  The amounts outstanding under this money pool arrangement are shown as a component of Notes receivable from affiliated companies and/or orNotes payable to affiliated companies on the Balance Sheets ofCG&E,PSI, andULH&P.  Any money pool borrowings outstanding reduce the unused and available short-term debt regulatory authority ofCG&E,PSI, andULH&P.

          Capital Leases

                  Our operating companies are able to enter into capital leases subject to the authorization limitations of the applicable state utility commissions. New financing authority is subject to the approval of the respective commissions. On May 22, 2002,ULH&P received approval from the Kentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) to enter into up to an additional $25 million of capital lease obligations for the period ending December 31, 2004. On June 26, 2002,PSI received approval from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) to enter into an additional $100 million of capital lease obligations for the period ending December 31, 2003.

          Long-term Debt

          We are required to secure authority to issue long-term debt from the SEC under the PUHCA and the state utility commissions of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.  The SEC under the PUHCA regulates the issuance of long-term debt byCinergy Corp.  The respective state utility commissions regulate the issuance of long-term debt by our operating companies. In June 2000, the SEC issued an order under the PUHCA authorizing

          Cinergy Corp., under PUHCA, was granted approval to increase total capitalization (excluding retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)), which may be any combination of debt and equity securities, by $5 billion.  Outside this requirement, Cinergy Corp. is not subject to specific regulatory debt authorizations.

          (2)

          Includes amounts for ULH&P.

          Cinergy Corp., over a five-year period expiring in June 2005, to increase its total capitalization based on a balance at December 31, 1999 (excluding retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) by has an additional $5 billion, through the issuance of any combination of equity and debt securities. This increased authorization is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, that common equity comprises at least 30 percent ofCinergy Corp.'s consolidated capital structure and thatCinergy Corp., under certain circumstances, maintains an investment grade rating on its senior debt obligations.

                  In July 2002,CG&E filed aeffective shelf registration statement with the SEC relating to the issuance of up to $750 million in any combination of common stock, preferred stock, stock purchase contracts or unsecured debt securities, of which approximately $573 million remains available for issuance.  CG&E has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC relating to the issuance of up to $500 million in any combination of unsecured debt securities, first mortgage bonds, or preferred stock, all of which remains available for issuance.  PSI has an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC relating to the issuance of up to $700 million in any combination of unsecured debt securities, first mortgage bonds, or preferred stock. This shelf registration statement becamestock, all of which remains available for issuance.  ULH&P has effective in September 2002, and on September 23, 2002,CG&E sold $500 million of senior unsecured debentures thereby reducing the standby capacity of its shelf registration statement to $200 million.PSI maintains shelf registration statements with the SEC with authority remainingrelating to issue $400 million in unsecured debentures, $205 million in first mortgage bonds, and $40 million in preferred stock.ULH&P may issuethe issuance of up to $30$50 million in secured or unsecured debt securities and up to $40 million in first mortgage bonds, of which $30 million in unsecured debt securities and $20 million in first mortgage bonds.bonds remain available for issuance.

           CG&E,PSI, andULH&P are also subject to the various state public utility commissions for authority to issue securities. At September 30, 2002,PSI had authority to issue up to $452 million in any combination of unsecured debt securities or first mortgage bonds, andULH&P had authority to issue up to $75 million in secured or unsecured bonds. As a result of the issuance of $500 million of unsecured debentures,CG&E had no remaining authority for the issuance of securities.CG&E intends to file for additional authority from the PUCO in the fourth quarter of 2002.

                  On October 18, 2002,PSI filed a petition with the IURC for the purpose of securing authorization and approval to issue promissory notes toCinergy for the acquisition of the Butler County, Ohio and Henry County, Indiana peaking plants. These peaking plants are currently owned by indirect wholly-

          53



          owned subsidiaries ofCinergy. In the petition,PSI seeks the approval to issue two promissory notes toCinergy. One promissory note will be for the principal amount of $200 million with an annual interest rate of 6.302% and will mature on April 15, 2004. The second promissory note will be for the remainder of the purchase price, which will be determined by the IURC, with an annual interest rate of 6.403% and will mature on September 1, 2004. Each promissory note will be pre-payable at the option ofPSI, in whole or in part, at any time before its scheduled maturity, without penalty or premium. The promissory notes will be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the full prior payment of all senior debt ofPSI. At this time,PSI cannot predict the outcome of this matter. For further discussion of the acquisition, see "Transfer of Generating Assets toPSI" in "Results of Operations—Future."

          Off-Balance Sheet Financing

          As discussed in the 2001 Form2002 10-K,Cinergy uses special-purpose entities (SPE) to finance various projects.  The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)FASB issued an exposure draftInterpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (Interpretation 46) in July 2002 on a proposedJanuary 2003.  This interpretation of consolidation accounting standards that wouldwill significantly change the consolidation requirements for SPEs.  We have reviewedbegun reviewing the impact of this proposalinterpretation but have not yet concluded whether consolidation of certain SPEs will be required.  There are two SPEs for which consolidation may be required.  These SPEs have individual power sale agreements to an unrelated third party for approximately 45 megawatts (MW) of capacity, ending in 2009, and if adopted35 MW of capacity, ending in its current form, we believe that2016.  In addition, the SPEs have individual power purchase agreements with Cinergy Capital & Trading, Inc. (Capital & Trading) to supply the power.  Capital & Trading also provides various services, including certain credit support facilities.

          65



          Cinergy’s quantifiable exposure to loss as a result of involvement with these two SPEs is $28 million, which includes investments in these entities of $3 million and exposure under the capped credit facilities of approximately $25 million.  There is also a non-capped facility, but it would requirecan only be called upon in the event the SPE breaches representations, violates covenants, or other unlikely events.

          If appropriate, consolidation of all theassets and liabilities of these two SPEs, discussedat their carrying values, will be required in the 2001 Form 10-K, exceptthird quarter of 2003.  Approximately $225 million of non-recourse debt would be included in Cinergy’s Consolidated Balance Sheets upon initial consolidation.  However, the impact on results of operations would be expected to be immaterial.

          Cinergy believes that its accounts receivable sale facility, as discussed in Note 5 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Part I. Financial Information." The accounts receivable sale facility2002 10-K, would remain unconsolidated since it involves transfers of financial assets to a qualifying SPE, which is exempted from consolidation by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (Statement 140) and this proposal. This exposure draft proposes that SPEs not meetingInterpretation 46.

          Cinergy holds investments in various unconsolidated subsidiaries which are accounted for under the required criteria be consolidated at fair value, effective in the second quarter of 2003 forCinergy.

                  As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K,Cinergyequity method and has an arrangement with an SPE that has contracted to buy five combustion turbines (turbines). In the second quarter of 2002,Cinergy exercised its option to purchase the contractual rights to twoguaranteed approximately $8 million of the turbines and subsequently sold those rights to third parties.Cinergy recognized a lossdebt of $6.9 million on these sales. The rights to the remaining turbines remain with the SPE.entities.

          The results of Cinergy also include amounts related to non-registrants.

          Net income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20022003 was $131$166 million ($.77.95 per share on a diluted basis) as compared to $128$85 million ($.80.52 per share on a diluted basis) for the same period last year.  Income before taxes for the period was $176$198 million compared to $208$150 million for the same period a year ago.  Increased gross margins, primarily from wholesale and retail gas operations, were partially offset by higher operating costs.  These gas margins primarily reflect the results of our domestic gas trading operation, Cinergy Marketing & Trading, LP (Marketing & Trading) as well as an increased volume of retail sales due to colder than normal weather during the quarter.  Also contributing to the gas margin increase over 2002 was the impact of accounting changes that required certain gas contracts and inventory to be accounted for on the accrual basis beginning in 2003.  Cinergy’s Cinergy'sincreased income also reflects a reductionnet gain resulting from the implementation of certain accounting changes, which have been reflected as a cumulative effect of a change in income taxes primarily relatedaccounting principles.  See Note 1(j)(viii) of the “Notes to tax credits associated with the production of synthetic fuel, beginningFinancial Statements” in July 2002.“Item 1. Financial Information” for further information regarding these accounting changes.

          Gas operating revenues increased forCinergyand decreased forCG&E&E’s for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001. Wholesale retail gas revenues forCinergyincreased for the quarter ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, mainly due to a higher price receivedan increase in retail per thousand cubic feet (mcf) sold by Cinergy Marketing & Trading, LP (Marketing & Trading). Wholesale natural gas commodity spot prices were approximately 15 percent higher on average than in the third quarter of 2001. Also contributing toCinergy's wholesale revenues was an increase in the amount of mcf delivered.

          Cinergy's andCG&E's retail gas revenues decreased primarily due to a reduction in retail mcf sales and lowerhigher prices received per mcf delivered.  The lowerincrease in retail gas sales volumes is primarily the result of the colder than normal weather in the first quarter of 2003.  The higher price per mcf delivered reflects a decreasean increase in CG&E’s base rates, as approved by the PUCO in May 2002, and tariff adjustments associated with the gas main replacement program and gas cost recovery mechanism.  For further information see Note 7(m) in the “Notes to Financial Statements” in “Item 1.

          Electricity Purchased from Parent Company for Resale

          Electricity purchased from parent company for resale increased for the same period last year. Income before taxes for the period was $395 million compared to $512 million for the same period a year ago. Increased total gross margins were offset by the recognition of approximately $71 million of costs associated with employee severance programs and charges related to the write-off of certain equipment and technology investments, and higher operating costs.

          Electric operating revenues forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI decreased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, as compared to 2001.Cinergy's andCG&E's decrease in wholesale revenues primarily reflects a reduction in the average price received per MWh. Additionally, the decrease inPSI's wholesale revenues primarily reflect the implementation of the new joint operating agreement effective April 2002 (see "Termination of the Operating Agreement" in "Results of Operations-Future"). In connection with implementation of the new operating agreement, the majority of new wholesale sales transactions entered into since April 2002 were originated on behalf ofCG&E.

                  Retail revenues increased forCinergy andPSI due to increased MWh sales,an increase in consumption as a result of warmercolder than normal weather. Also contributing to the increase were higher realizations and changes in rate tariff adjustments associated with demand-side management, Purchase Power Tracker (Tracker), and fuel cost recovery programs. The cost of fuel forPSI's retail customers is passed on dollar-for-dollar under the state mandated fuel cost recovery mechanism.CG&E's retail revenues were relatively flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001. Increased residential sales, attributable to warmer than normal weather, were offset by decreases in revenue from commercial and industrial customers. This decrease reflects a sluggish economy and the migration of such customers to a transportation-only tariff, in connection with the Ohio electric customer choice program.

          Gas operating revenues forCinergy andCG&E decreased increased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, as compared to 2001. Decreases in retail gas revenues were primarily due to a lower price received per mcf delivered. The lower price reflects a substantial decrease in the wholesale gas commodity cost, which is passed directly to the retail customer dollar-for-dollar under the state mandated gas cost recovery mechanism.

          Cinergy's decrease in wholesale gas revenues was mainly due to a lower price received per mcf sold by Marketing & Trading. Wholesale natural gas commodity spot prices were 33 percent lower on average than in the nine months ended 2001. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the amount of mcf delivered.

          Other Revenues

                  Other revenues increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001.2002.  This increase is primarily due to the sale of synthetic fuel, beginning in July 2002.

          Purchased and Exchanged Power

          Purchased and exchanged power expense decreased forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001.Cinergy's andCG&E's decrease is due primarily to a reduction in the purchase price. Partially offsetting this decrease in purchase price was an increase in volumes purchased. As discussed above,CG&E's andPSI's purchasedmcf sold and exchanged power expensehigher prices received per mcf, as a result of colder than normal weather.  New base rates for ULH&P, which were effective January 31, 2002, and tariff adjustments associated with the gas main replacement program and gas cost recovery mechanism also reflects the effects of the implementation of the new joint operating agreement beginning in April 2002.

          Gas Purchased

          Gas purchased expense decreased forCinergy andCG&E for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as comparedcontributed to 2001.Cinergy's decrease is primarily due to a decreasethis increase.  For further information see Note 7(n) in the average cost per mcf of“Notes to Financial Statements” in “Item 1.  Financial Information”.  ULH&P’s wholesale gas purchased by Marketing & Trading. Wholesale natural gas commodity spot prices were 33 percent lower on average than the nine months ended last year.CG&E's gas purchased expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in the average cost purchased per mcf.CG&E's wholesale commodity cost is passed directly to the retail customer dollar-for-dollar under the gas cost recovery mechanism mandated by state law.

          Operation and Maintenance

           Operation and maintenance expense increased forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001.Cinergy's,CG&E's, andPSI's increase reflects the recognition of costs associated with employee severance programs, which began in the second quarter of 2002, increased costs of employee compensation and benefit programs, and higher transmission expenses.Cinergy's andPSI's increase also reflects increased amortization of demand-side management expenditures. Additionally,Cinergy's increase includes costs associated with the production of synthetic fuel, beginning in July 2002.

          63



          DepreciationGas Purchased

           Depreciation expense increased forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily attributable to the addition of depreciable plant, includingCinergy's acquisitions of non-regulated peaking generation in 2001.

          Taxes Other Than Income TaxesGas purchased

          Taxes other than income taxes increased forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001. This increase is primarily attributable to increased property taxes.

          Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

          Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily due to changes in the market valuation of certain technology investments recognized in 2001, and the dissolution of a subsidiary.

          Miscellaneous—Net

          Miscellaneous—net expense increased forCinergy for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily reflecting the write-off of certain equipment and technology investments.

          Interest

          Interest expense decreased forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily as a result of lower interest rates.

          Preferred Dividend Requirement of Subsidiary Trust

          Preferred dividend requirement of subsidiary trust relates to quarterly payments to be made to holders ofCinergy's preferred trust securities, which were issued in December 2001.

          Income Taxes

          Income tax expense decreased forCinergy andPSI for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in taxable income. Also contributing toCinergy's decrease were tax credits associated with the production of synthetic fuel beginning July 2002.CG&E's income tax expense increased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, as compared to 2001, primarily reflecting tax changes, including state rate changes,2002, due to deregulation.

          Net income  9,110  26,854

          Electric Gross Margin

          Electric operating revenues decreased $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, primarily due to recognition of revenues in 2001 which were previously deferred subject to refund in connection with a 2000 retail rate filing with the KPSC. A settlement was reached in May 2001, allowingULH&P to retain these revenues. Warmercolder than normal weather partially offset the decrease in revenues.Electricity purchased from parent company for resale increased $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, due to a new wholesale power contract withCG&E that became effective in January 2002. This five-year agreement is a negotiated fixed-rate contract that replaced the previous cost of service based contract that expired on December 31, 2001.

          Gas Gross Margin

          Gas operating revenues decreased $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001. This decrease is primarily due to lower price received per mcf. The lower price reflects a substantial decreaseexperienced in the wholesale gas commodity cost. Partially offsettingMidwest, which drove up the decrease in gas revenues was an increase inULH&P's base rates approved by the KPSC in January 2002 (see "ULH&P Gas Rate Case" in "Results of Operations—Future").Gas purchased expenses decreased $25.1 milliondemand for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, due to lower prices paid per mcf.natural gas.  The wholesale gas commodity cost is passed directly to the retail customer dollar-for-dollar under the gas cost recovery mechanism that is mandated under state law.

          Operation and maintenance expense increased $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, as compared to 2001, due primarily to higher transmission costs associated with the new wholesale power contract withCG&E that became effective in January 2002.

          Miscellaneous—net

          Miscellaneous—net expense increased for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, as compared to 2001,2002, due primarily to increased amortization of demand side management program costs and maintenance of overhead lines costs.

          Miscellaneous - net

          Miscellaneous - - net increased for the three months ended March 31, 2003, as compared to 2002, primarily due to the expensingrecognition of expense in 2002 for previously deferred costs, that were denied recovery in the final order onULH&P's&P’s gas rate case.

          Wholesale Market Developments

          Supply-side Actions

          Federal EnergyIn December 2002, the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (FERC) Notice(IURC) approved a settlement agreement among PSI, the Indiana Office of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR)the Utility Consumer Counselor, and the IURC Testimonial Staff authorizing PSI’s

          purchase of the Henry County, Indiana and Butler County, Ohio, gas-fired peaking plants from two non-regulated affiliates.  In July 2002,February 2003, the FERC issued an order under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act authorizing PSI’s acquisition of the plants, which occurred on February 5, 2003.  Subsequently, in April 2003, the FERC issued a NOPR on "Remedying Undue Discrimination through Open Access Transmission Service and Standard Electricity Market Design", that proposed significant changes designedtolling order allowing additional time to create genuine wholesale competition, efficient transmission systems,consider a request for rehearing filed in response to the right pricing signals for investment in transmission, generation facilities and demand reduction, and more customer options. Market monitoring and market power mitigation proposals are also critical parts of the proposals for standardized power market rules. Among other things, theFebruary 2003 FERC also proposes to amend its regulations under the Federal Power Act to modify the proforma open access transmission tariff established under the FERC's Order No. 888 to remedy remaining undue discrimination in the provision of interstate transmission services and in other industry practices, and to assure just and reasonable rates within and among regional power markets. FERC proposes to require all public utilities with open access transmission tariffs to file modifications to their tariffs to reflect non-discriminatory, standardized transmission services and standardized wholesale electric market design. FERC proposes a phased compliance process. By July 31, 2003, all public utilities that own, operate, or control interstate transmission facilities must file revised open access transmission tariffs to become effective September 30, 2003, that place transmission service for bundled retail customers under the same terms and conditions of service as wholesale transmission. By December 1, 2003, all public utilities that own, control, or operate interstate transmission facilities must file revised open access transmission tariffs, to become effective no later than September 30, 2004, or such other time as directed by the FERC, that reflect all of the remaining revisions and requirements of the Final Rule in the proceeding.Cinergy is currently evaluating this ruling and atorder.  At this time, we cannot determinepredict the impact to either our financial position or resultsoutcome of operations.this matter.

          Retail Market Developments

          Ohio

          Ohio

          As discussed in the 2001 Form2002 10-K, CG&E is in July 1999, Ohio Governor Robert Taft signeda market development period, beginning the transition to electric deregulation in the state of Ohio.  The transition period is governed by Amended Substitute Senate Bill No. 3 (Electric Restructuring Bill), beginning the transition to electric deregulation and customer choice for the State of Ohio. The Electric Restructuring Bill created a competitive electric retail service market effective January 1, 2001. The legislation provides for a market development period that began January 1, 2001, and ends no later than December 31, 2005. During the market development period, electric rates toCG&E customers are frozen.

                  In May 2000,CG&E reached a stipulated agreement with the PUCO staffadopted and various other interested parties with respect to its proposal to implement electric customer choice in Ohio effective January 1, 2001. In August 2000, the PUCO approvedCG&E's stipulation agreement. Subsequently, two parties filed applications for rehearing with by the PUCO.  In October 2000, the PUCO denied these applications. One of the parties appealed to the Ohio Supreme Court in the fourth quarter of 2000 andUnder CG&E&E’s subsequently intervened in that case. In April 2002, the Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the PUCO's stipulated agreement withCG&E with respect to implementing electric customer choice. The Ohio Supreme Court ruling leavesCG&E's transition plan entirely intact.

                  UnderCG&E's transition plan, retail customers continue to receive transportation services fromCG&E, but may purchase electricity from another supplier.  Retail customers that purchase electricity from another supplier receive shopping credits fromCG&E.  The shopping credits generally reflect the costs of electric generation included inCG&E's&E’s frozen rates.  However, shopping credits for the first 20 percent of electricity usage in each customer class to switch suppliers are higher thanCG&E's&E’s

          66



          electric generation costs in order to stimulate the development of the competitive retail electric retail service market.

          CG&E recovers its regulatory assets and other transition costs through a Regulatory Transition Charge (RTC) paid by all retail customers.  As the RTC is collected from customers, CG&E amortizes the deferred balance of regulatory assets and other transition costs.  A portion of the RTC collected from customers is recognized currently as a return on the deferred balance of regulatory assets and other transition costs and as reimbursement for the difference in the shopping credits provided to customers and the wholesale revenues from switched generation.  The ability of CG&E to recover its regulatory assets and other transition costs is dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, the level of CG&E’s electric sales, prices in the wholesale power markets, and the amount of customer switching to other electric suppliers.

          76



                  A FERC order, that was effective April 2002, allowedOn January 10, 2003, CG&ECinergy to jointly dispatch the regulated generating assets ofPSI in conjunction filed an application with the deregulated generating assetsPUCO for approval of a methodology to establish how market-based rates for non-residential customers will be determined when the market development period ends.  In the filing, CG&E. The order also authorizes seeks to establish a market-based standard service offer rate for non-residential customers that do not switch suppliers and a process for establishing the transfercompetitively bid generation service option required by the Electric Restructuring Bill.  As of March 31, 2003, more than 20 percent of the load in each of CG&E’s non-residential customer classes has switched to other electric suppliers.  Under its transition plan, CG&E may end the market development period for those classes of customers once 20 percent switching has been achieved; however, PUCO approval of the standard service offer rate and competitive bidding process is required before the market development period can be ended.  generating assetsCG&E is not requesting to a non-regulated affiliate. However,end the market development period for non-residential customers at this time.  CG&E is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

          CinergyFederal Update

          has determinedEnergy Bill

          The U.S. House of Representatives (House) passed the Energy Policy Act in April 2003.  This followed extensive committee debate and attempts to pass similar legislation in 2002.  This year’s bill includes PUHCA repeal, tax incentives for gas and electric distribution lines, and combined heat and power and renewable energy.

          The U.S. Senate (Senate) Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed its version of the Energy Bill in April 2003.  That legislation is scheduled to be considered by the entire Senate sometime during the second quarter of 2003.  The Senate version includes PUHCA repeal and encourages regional dialogues between states and the FERC on the continued formation of regional transmission organizations.

          Clear Skies Legislation

          The importance of Clear Skies legislation is that it can realizewould replace unpredictable environmental regulations with set targets and timetables, allowing the benefitsindustry adequate time to access needed capital and build environmental improvement projects.  Clear Skies legislation would seek an overall 70 percent improvement in emissions from power plants over a phased-in reduction schedule beginning in 2010 and stretching to 2018.  The first hearing was held on the legislation in early April 2003 and Cinergy testified in favor of swift passage.  Additional hearings are scheduled and the Senate Environment Committee hopes to review the bill in subcommittee in the second quarter of 2003.  Timing for consideration is less certain with the House.  Therefore, the prospects for passage of the new joint dispatch agreement without transferringCG&E's generation assets. Therefore, whileCG&E will continue to pursue any remaining regulatory and other approvals already in process thatClear Skies legislation are necessary for the transfer ofCG&E's generation assets,Cinergy does not plan to transferCG&E's generating assets to a non-regulated affiliate in the foreseeable future. For further discussion of the joint dispatch agreement, see "Termination of Operating Agreement."unclear.

          Supply-side Actions

                  In December 2001,PSI filed a petition with the IURC to acquire the Butler County, Ohio and Henry County, Indiana peaking plants from subsidiaries of Cinergy Capital & Trading, Inc. (Capital & Trading). This transfer, if approved, will increasePSI's generating portfolio by approximately 800 megawatts (MW). See "Transfer of Generating Assets toPSI" for additional information.

          Demand-side Actions

                  In July 2002, we experienced record peak loads of 11,133 MW, 5,265 MW, and 6,088 MW forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI, respectively.Cinergy andCG&E subsequently set new record peak loads of 11,305 MW and 5,311 MW, respectively, in August 2002. We met customer demands with our own supply and planned purchases from other regional electric suppliers.

          Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator, Inc. (Midwest ISO)

          Historical

          As part of the effort to create a competitive wholesale power marketplace, the FERC approved the formation of the Midwest ISO during 1998.  In that same year,Cinergy agreed to join the Midwest ISO in preparation for meeting anticipated changes in the FERC regulations and future

          77



          deregulation requirements.  The Midwest ISO was established as a non-profit organization to maintain functional control over the combined transmission systems of its members.

          FERC Orders

                  OnIn related activity, the FERC issued an order in December 15, 2001, in response to protests of the Midwest ISO’s proposed methodology related to the calculation of its administrative adder fees for the services it provides.  Cinergy and a number of other parties filed protests to the proposed methodology, suggesting, among other things, that the methodology was inconsistent with the transmission owners’ prior agreement with the Midwest ISO initiated startupand selectively allowed only independent transmission companies to choose which unbundled administrative adder services they wished to purchase from the Midwest ISO.  A partial settlement was reached in the FERC proceeding, resolving the issues addressed by Cinergy’s protest in a manner favorable to Cinergy.  The settlement agreement was approved by the FERC in a February 24, 2003 order and will be implemented during 2003 - resulting in about $25 million of its operations with the provision of a variety of support or stand-alone servicesadministrative adder credits to its transmission owning members. The Midwest ISO achieved full startup, including implementation of tariff administration, on February 1, 2002. Althoughbe shared among the Midwest ISO continues to develop, modify,transmission owners.

          In late 2001 and enhance its various operating practices, it has assumed functional control of the transmission systems of its member companies, including theCinergy utilities. The impact of this transfer was not material to our financial position or results of operations.

                  In Julyearly 2002, the FERC issued a NOPRits Opinion Nos. 453 and 453-A ordering, among other things, that proposed significant changes to the electricity wholesale market. At this time we are unable to determine the impact of the NOPR upontransmission service for bundled retail customers (i.e., customers who cannot select an alternative energy provider) be provided under the Midwest ISOISO’s open access transmission tariff, andCinergy. See "Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Notice of Proposed Rulemaking" for further discussion.

                  Finally, in its July 17, 2002 open meeting and subsequent orders, FERC reaffirmed its expectation that the Midwest ISOISO’s charges for its administrative services apply to bundled retail customers.  Cinergy and other parties have appealed these orders to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the Court), challenging the application of the Midwest ISO’s tariff, and the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM) implement a common wholesale market between them by October 1, 2004. FERC also imposed more immediate deadlines uponMidwest ISO’s charges for its administrative services to bundled retail customers.  At the Midwest ISO, PJM, and various other parties to establish certain protocols, including the elimination of pancaked transmission rates between the Midwest ISO and PJM, necessary to establish a "virtual" single regional transmission organization among the Midwest ISO and PJM companies. As partrequest of the FERC, orders,the Court remanded the matter back to the FERC has opened an investigation under Section 206for further proceedings.  In its order on remand, the FERC upheld its prior determinations in Opinion Nos. 453 and 453-A.  Cinergy and other Midwest ISO transmission owners have requested rehearing of the Federal Power Act intoFERC’s order on remand.  Cinergy cannot predict the justness and reasonablenessoutcome of the "through and out" transmission rates ofrehearing request, whether the Midwest ISO and

          67



          PJM.Cinergy is participating inmatter will again be appealed to the Section 206 hearing, along with the other transmission owners who are members or potential members of the Midwest ISO or PJM. Pursuant to an order issued in July 2002, the FERC indicated that it plans to issue a decision by July 31, 2003. As part of this proceeding,Cinergy is advocating the removal of pancaked transmission rates between the Midwest ISO and PJM including all of the former Alliance Regional Transmission Organization companies, as well as lost revenue recovery for transmission owners who are affected by the removal of the pancaked transmission rates. At this time,Cinergy cannot determine the impact of either the FERC orderscourts, or the related Section 206 investigation upon either our financial position or resultsoutcome of operations.

          Federal Update

          Energy Billany such appeal.

           President George W. Bush (President Bush), in conjunction with the work of an inter-agency energy task force headed by Vice President Richard Cheney, developed a number of recommendations to address the energy security needs of America. The U.S. House of Representatives (House) passed its version of energy security legislation, H.R. 4 in 2001 and the U.S. Senate (Senate) passed its version, S. 517, on April 25, 2002. The bill remains in a joint House/Senate Conference Committee. Many issues are yet to be resolved and may not result in a final bill that will be acceptable to both Houses of Congress before this congressional session ends.

                  Both House and Senate versions of the energy bill include tax provisions for favorable gas distribution line depreciation changes, tax incentives for combined heat and power facilities and for other non-traditional fuel sources such as biomass.

                  The Senate bill includes an electricity provision that calls for repeal of the PUHCA with consumer protection provisions and increased oversight by the FERC over mergers. The Senate bill also includes a Renewable Portfolio Standard, mandating that utilities purchase an increasing percent of power from renewable sources.

                  At this time, it is not possible to predict whether energy legislation will pass by the end of this session of Congress or what provisions affectingCinergy will be included. Because of this, it is not possible at this time to determine the impact of the pending legislation on our financial position or results of operations.

          Significant Rate Developments

          PSI Retail Rate Case

          Purchased Power Tracker

                  As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K, in May 1999,In December 2002, PSI filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of a Tracker. This requestbase retail electric rate increase.  PSI filed initial testimony in this case in March 2003.  PSI proposes an increase in revenues of approximately $200 million, or an average increase of approximately 15 percent over PSI’s retail electric rates in effect at the end of 2002.  An IURC decision is expected in the first quarter of 2004.

          PSI Purchased Power Tracker (Tracker)

          The Tracker was designed to provide for the recovery of costs related to purchases of power necessary to meet native load requirements to the extent such costs are not soughtrecovered through the existing fuel adjustment clause.

          78


                  A hearing was held before the IURC in February 2001, to determine whether it was appropriate for

          PSI to continue the Tracker for future periods. In April 2001, a favorable order was received extending the Tracker process for two years, through the summer of 2002.PSI is authorized to seek recovery of 90 percent of its purchased power expenses through the Tracker (net of the displaced energy portion recovered through the fuel recovery process and net of the mitigation credit portions)portion), with the remaining 10 percent deferred for subsequent recovery inPSI’s PSI's next general rate case.

                  In June 2001,PSI filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the recovery of its summer 2001 purchased power costs through the Tracker. In October 2001,PSI filed an amended petition with the IURC, seeking approval of the costs associated with additional power purchases made during July and August 2001. In February 2002, the IURC issued an order approving the recovery of $15.3 million ofPSI's summer 2001 purchase power costs via the Tracker. The remaining $1.7 million was deferred

                  In June 2002,PSI filed a petition with the IURC seeking approval of the recovery through the Tracker of its actual summer 2002 purchased power costs. A hearing is scheduled for the first quarter of 2003.

          Termination of Operating Agreement

                  As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K,CG&E,PSI, and Services filed a notice of termination of the operating agreement with the FERC in October 2000. In December 2000, the FERC ruled that the companies have the contractual right to terminate the agreement and established a termination effective date in May 2001 and also set a hearing date in May 2001was held on the issue of the reasonableness of termination.

                  Certain parties appealed the FERC's decision to establish a termination date. In March 2001, the IURC initiated an investigation proceeding into the termination of the operating agreement. In May 2001, the parties to the FERC proceeding reached a settlement agreement resolving the termination issues and certain compensation and damage issues. The settlement agreement was approved by the FERC in June 2001 and delayed the termination of the existing operating agreement until a new successor agreement was approved by the FERC.

                  In August 2001, the parties to both the IURC proceedingJanuary 16, 2003, and the previous FERCcase is now awaiting an IURC order.  We cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding entered into two complementary settlement agreements. Both the IURC and FERC agreements were conditioned upon FERC acceptance of the proposed successor agreements. The IURC settlement agreement was approved by the IURC in September 2001.Cinergy filed the successor agreements with the FERC in October 2001 and in March 2002, the FERC approved the successor agreements. The successor agreements allowCinergy to jointly dispatch the regulated generating assets ofPSI in conjunction with the deregulated generating assets ofCG&Eat market based pricing. The successor agreements were implemented effective in April 2002.this time.

          PSI Fuel Adjustment Charge

                  As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K,PSI defers fuel costs that are recoverable in future periods subject to IURC approval under a fuel recovery mechanism. In June 2001, the IURC issued an order in aPSI fuel recovery proceeding, disallowing approximately $14 million of deferred costs. In June 2001,PSI formally requested that the IURC reconsider its disallowance decision. In August 2001, the IURC indicated that it would reconsider its decision andPSI continued the deferral of these costs. In August 2002, the IURC issued its final ruling allowingPSI to fully recover the $14 million.

                  In June 2001,PSI filed a petition with the IURC requesting authority to recover $16 million in under-billedunder billed deferred fuel costs incurred from March 2001 through May 2001.  The IURC approved recovery of these costs subject to refund pending the findings of an investigative sub-docket.  The sub-docket was opened to investigate the reasonableness of, and underlying reasons for, the under-billedunder billed deferred fuel costs.  A hearing was held onin July 30, 2002. We anticipate a decision2002, and in March 2003 the fourth quarterIURC issued an order giving final approval to PSI’s recovery of 2002.the $16 million.

          PSI Construction Work in Progress (CWIP) Ratemaking Treatment for Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) Equipment

                  During the third quarter of 2001,In April 2003, PSI filed an application with the IURC requesting that its CWIP ratemaking treatmentrate adjustment mechanism be updated for costsexpenditures through December 2002 related to NOX equipment currently being installed at certainPSI generation facilities.  CWIP ratemaking treatment allows for the recovery of carrying costs on certain pollution control equipment while and after the equipment during the construction period.is under construction.  Testimony and exhibits supporting PSI’sPSI filed its case-in-chief testimony in January 2002.

                  On September 4, 2002,PSI filed its first six-month CWIP Tracker update with the IURC, covering investments made in NOX emission reduction equipment from January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2002. An IURC order allowing for the recovery of these incremental expenditures is expected during the first quarter of 2003.

          Transfer of Generating Assets toGAS INDUSTRYPSI

                  In December 2001,PSI filed a petition with the IURC requesting approval, under Indiana's Power Plant Construction Act, to acquire the Butler County, Ohio and Henry County, Indiana peaking plants from their current owners, subsidiaries of Capital & Trading, to address its need for increased generating capacity.PSI, the IURC Staff, and the Indiana Utility Consumer Counselor reached a settlement agreement in September 2002, which if approved by the IURC, would authorizePSI to purchase the two peaking plants. Other parties are still opposingPSI's proposed purchase of these plants. A hearing before the IURC was held in October 2002.PSI anticipates receiving an IURC order in this case during the fourth quarter of 2002.

                  In September 2002,PSI and the applicable Capital & Trading subsidiaries filed applications with the SEC under PUHCA and the FERC under the Federal Power Act requesting authorization for the transfer. However, in October 2002, the SEC notifiedPSI that the transaction is exempt from the SEC's jurisdiction under PUHCA and accordinglyPSI and the Capital & Trading subsidiaries withdrew the SEC application. In October 2002, several parties intervened and filed protests in the proceeding before the FERC, opposing the transfer.Cinergy timely filed an answer to these protests.Cinergy expects the FERC to issue an order in this case during the fourth quarter of 2002.

          2002 Purchased Power Costs

                  In May 2002, the IURC approved a settlement agreement betweenPSI, the IURC staff, and the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor pertaining toPSI's 2002 purchased power arrangements. This agreement allowsPSI to purchase the output of the Henry County, Indiana and Butler County, Ohio peaking plants through December 31, 2002. The parties also agreed to not challenge the recovery of costs for the purchase of power from these plants, as well as the costs of additional purchases needed for reliability purposes, throughPSI's Tracker. The order also provides for cost recovery of energy charges associated withPSI's 2002 reliability purchases through the fuel cost recovery mechanism.

          ULH&P Gas Rate Case

                  On May 4,As discussed in the 2002 10-K, in the second quarter of 2001,ULH&P filed a retail gas rate case with the KPSCKentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) seeking to increase base rates for natural gas distribution services by $7.3 million annually, or 8.4 percent overall. In addition to an increase in base rates,ULH&P requestedand requesting recovery through a tracking mechanism of the costs of an accelerated gas main replacement program with aan estimated capital cost of approximately $112 million over the next ten10 years.  A hearing on this matter was held in November 2001 and an order was issued on January 31, 2002. In the order, the KPSC authorized a base rate increase of $2.7 million, or 2.8 percent overall, to be effective on January 31, 2002. In addition, the KPSC authorizedULH&P to implement

          made its second annual filing for an increase under the tracking mechanism to recover the costsin March 2003.  The application seeks an increase of the accelerated gas main replacement program for an initial period of three years, with the possibility of renewal for the full ten years. Per the terms of the order, the tracker will be set annually. The first filing was made on March 27, 2002 and was approved by$2 million.  ULH&P expects the KPSC in an order issuedto rule on August 30, 2002.the application during the second quarter of 2003.  At the present time, ULH&P cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.  The Kentucky Attorney General (Attorney General) has appealed the KPSC'sKPSC’s approval of the tracking mechanism to the Franklin Circuit Court (Court). The KPSC'sand has also appealed the KPSC’s August 30, 2002 order requiresULH&P to maintain records ofapproving the revenues collected under thenew tracking mechanism to enableULH&P to refund such revenues, in case the Attorney General's appeal is upheld and the KPSC orders a refund.ULH&P filed an application for rehearing with the KPSC on September 20, 2002, in whichULH&P requested that the KPSC eliminate this requirement. On October 7, 2002, the KPSC issued an order grantingULH&P's application for rehearing in part. The KPSC's order clarified thatULH&P must maintain its records of the revenues collected under the tracking mechanism in case a refund is ordered at a later date; however, the KPSC's order stated that it will not address the issue of whether to order a refund unless the Court rules that the KPSC lacked the requisite authority to approve the tracking mechanism. As a result,ULH&P will not record these revenues as subject to refund unless the Court so rules.rates.  At the present time,ULH&P cannot predict the timing or outcome of this litigation.

          CG&E Gas Rate Case

                  On July 31,In the third quarter of 2001,CG&E filed a retail gas rate case with the PUCO seeking to increase base rates for natural gas distribution services by approximately $26 million, or 5 percent overall. Simultaneously,CG&E requestedservice and requesting recovery through a tracking mechanism of the costs of an accelerated gas main replacement program with aan estimated capital cost of approximately $716 million over the next ten10 years.CG&E entered into a settlement agreement with most of the parties toand a hearing on this matter was held in April 2002.  An order was issued in May 2002, in which the case, resolving most of the issues, andCG&E filedPUCO approved the settlement agreement with the PUCO on April 17, 2002. The settlement agreement provides forand authorized a base rate increase of $15.1approximately $15 million, or 3.3 percent and also provides for implementation ofoverall, effective May 30, 2002.  In addition, the PUCO authorized CG&E to implement the tracking mechanism to recover the costs of the accelerated gas main replacement program, subject to certain rate caps that increase in amount annually through May 2007, through the effective date of new rates in CG&E's&E’s next baseretail gas rate case.  In the fourth quarter of 2002, CG&E filed an application to increase its rates under the tracking mechanism.  In April 2003, CG&E entered into a settlement agreement with the parties, providing for an increase of $6.5 million, which the PUCO subsequently approved.

          agreed, as partGas Prices

          Natural gas prices began to escalate dramatically during the fourth quarter of 2002 and peaked midway through the first quarter of 2003.  This significant increase in gas costs prompted CG&E and ULH&P to make additional interim filings with the PUCO and KPSC, respectively, to increase their gas cost adjustment rates for the remaining two months of the settlement agreement, not to file a new gas base rate case prior to January 1, 2004, absent certain exceptional circumstances. On May 30, 2002,quarter which began in March 2003.  These interim filings were subsequently approved by the PUCO issued an order approving the settlement.

          CG&E

          In May 2003, ULH&P filed an application with the PUCOKPSC requesting pre-approvalapproval of itsa gas procurement-hedging program. This request was subsequently denied. However, in denyingCG&E's request for pre-approvalprogram designed to mitigate the effects of agas price volatility on customers.  If approved, the hedging program will allow the PUCO order provided clarification that prudently incurred hedging costs are a valid componentpre-arranging ofCG&E's gas purchasing strategy. As a result,CG&E hedged approximately 50 between 20-65 percent of its winter 2001/2002heating season base load gas requirements usingand between 0-50 percent of summer season base load gas requirements.

          ULH&P uses primarily fixed price forward contracts and contracts with a ceiling and floor on the price.  These contracts employ the normal purchases and sales exemption, and do not involve Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activity, (Statement 133), hedges.CG&E was authorized to recover the hedging program costs through its gas cost recovery mechanism.

          Represents fair value, recognized in income, attributable to long-term, structured contracts, primarily in power, which is recorded on the date a deal is signed.  These contracts are primarily with end-use customers or municipalities that seek to limit their risk to power price volatility.  While caps and floors often exist in such contracts, the amount of power supplied can vary from hour to hour to mirror the customers load volatility.  See "Accounting Changes"Note 1(j)(i) in the “Notes to Financial Statements” in “Item 1.

          Active quotes are considered to be available for two years for standard electricity transactions and three years for standard gas transactions.  Non-standard transactions are classified based on the extent, if any, of modeling used in determining fair value.  Long-term transactions can have portions in both categories depending on the tenor.

           Credit risk is the exposure to economic loss that would occur as a result of nonperformance by counterparties, pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. Specific components of credit risk include counterparty default risk, collateral risk, concentration risk, and settlement risk.

          Cinergy'sCinergy’s extension of credit for energy marketing and trading is governed by a Corporate Credit Policy.  Written guidelines document the management approval levels for credit limits, evaluation of creditworthiness, and credit risk mitigation procedures.  Exposures to credit risks are monitored daily by the Corporate Credit Risk function.  As of September 30, 2002,March 31, 2003, approximately 98 percent of the credit exposure related to energy trading and marketing activity was with counterparties rated Investment Grade or the counterparties’ obligations were guaranteed by a parent company or other entity rated Investment Grade.  No single non-investment grade counterparty accounts for more than one percent of our total credit exposure.

          Energy commodity prices can be extremely volatile and the market can, at times, lack liquidity.  Because of these issues, credit risk for energy commodities is generally greater than with other commodity trading.

                  In December 2001, Enron Corp. (Enron) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Southern District of New York. We decreased our trading activities with Enron in the months prior to its bankruptcy filing. We intend to resolve any contract differences pursuant to the terms of those contracts, business practices, and the applicable provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, as approved by the court. While we cannot predict the court's resolution of these matters, we do not believe that any exposure relating to those contracts would have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. While most of our contracts with Enron were considered trading and thus recorded at fair value, a few contracts were accounted for utilizing the normal exemption under Statement 133 (see Note 1(d)(iv) of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Item 1. Financial Information"). These contracts were recognized at fair value when the contracts were terminated in the fourth quarter of 2001.

            We continually review and monitor our credit exposure to all counterparties and secondary counterparties.  If appropriate, we may adjust our credit reserves to attempt to compensate for increased credit risk within the industry.  Counterparty credit limits may be adjusted on a daily basis in response to changes in a counterparty'scounterparty’s creditworthiness, financial status, or public debt ratings.

          ACCOUNTING MATTERS

          Critical Accounting Policies

          Preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires the use of assumptions and estimates.  In certain instances, the application of GAAP requires judgments regarding future events, including the likelihood of success of particular initiatives, legal and regulatory challenges, and anticipated recovery of costs.  Therefore, the possibility exists for materially different reported amounts under different conditions or assumptions.

          Cinergy’s 2002 10-K includes a discussion of accounting policies that are significant to the presentation of Cinergy’s financial position and results of operations.  These include:

                            Fair Value Accounting for Energy Marketing and Trading;

                            Retail Customer Revenue Recognition;

                            Regulatory Accounting;

                            Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits; and

                            Impairment of Long-lived Assets.

          Accounting Changes

          Energy Trading

          Energy Trading

                  The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) has been discussing several issues related to the accounting and disclosure of energy trading activities under EITF 98-10,Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities (EITF 98-10). In JuneOctober 2002, the EITF reached a consensus in EITF Issue 02-3Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading to (a) rescind EITF 98-10, (b) generally preclude the recognition of gains at the inception of new derivatives, and Risk Management Activities requiring(c) require all realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy trading contractsderivatives to be presented net in the income statement,Statements of Income, whether or not settled physically.  However, the EITF rescinded this consensus in October 2002 and replaced it with a requirement to present all gains and losses on energy trading derivatives on a net basis beginning in 2003. In addition, certain non-derivative contracts used in our trading activities would have been required to be presented net under the June 2002 consensus. Under the new consensus, these contracts will likely continue to be presented gross. Since most of our energy trading activities involve derivatives, we believe this new consensus will not have a substantially different impact than the June 2002 consensus, other than deferring the ultimate implementation date. We continue to expect substantial reductions inOperating Revenues, Fuel and purchased and exchanged power expense, andGas purchased expense as a result of adopting net reporting. However,Operating Income andNet Income will not be affected by this change.Operating Revenues forCinergy,CG&E, andPSI, under the EITF's June 2002 consensus regarding net presentation, would have been as follows:

          PSI  472  1,222

          (1)
          The results of Cinergy also include amounts related to non-registrants.

                  In October 2002, the EITF reached a consensus to rescind EITF 98-10. All98-10 required most energy trading contracts that do not qualify as a derivative will no longerderivatives to be accounted for on an accrual basis, rather than at fair value.  Instead, accrual accounting will be used. The consensus iswas immediately effective for all new contracts executed after October 25, 2002, and will requirerequired a cumulative effect adjustment to income, afternet of tax, in the first quarter ofon January 1, 2003, for all contracts executed on or prior to October 25, 2002.  The magnitudecumulative effect adjustment, on a net of tax basis, was a loss of $13 million for Cinergy and $8 million for CG&E, which includes primarily the impact of certain coal contracts, gas inventory, and certain gas contracts, which were all accounted for at fair value.  We expect the ongoing impact of this adjustment will dependrescission to have the largest impact on our gas trading business, which uses financial contracts, physical contracts, and gas inventory to take advantage of various arbitrage opportunities.  Prior to the rescission of EITF 98-10, all of these activities were accounted for at fair value.  Under the revised guidance, only certain items are accounted for at

           During the October 2002 meeting, the EITF also rescinded a prior consensus reached in the June 2002 meeting regarding new disclosures for energy trading activities. In addition, the EITF elected not to provide guidance at this time on the recognition of inception gains on energy trading transactions. However, the decision to rescind EITF 98-10 will eliminate the recognition of inception gains on contracts that do not meet the definition of a derivative since such contracts will be accounted for on an accrual basis.

          Business Combinations and Intangible Assets

          In June 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,Business Combinations (Statement 141), and No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142).Statement 142.  Statement 141 requires all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, to be accounted for using the purchase method.  With the adoption of Statement 142, goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives will no longer be subject to amortization.  Statement 142 requires that goodwill be

          74



          assessed for impairment upon adoption (transition impairment test) and at least annually thereafter by applying a fair-value-based test, as opposed to the undiscounted cash flow test applied under prior accounting standards.  This test must be applied at the "reporting unit"“reporting unit” level, which is not permitted to be broader than the current business segments discussed in Note 9 of the "Notes to Financial Statements" in "Item 1. Financial Information".8.  Under Statement 142, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer'sacquirer’s intent to do so.

          We began applying Statement 141 in the third quarter of 2001 and Statement 142 in the first quarter of 2002.  The discontinuance of amortization of goodwill, which began in the first quarter of 2002, iswas not material to our financial position or results of operations.  We finalized our transition impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2002 and have identified the reporting unitsrecognized a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $11 million (net of tax) for goodwill related to certain of our international assets.  This amount is reflected in Cinergy’s Statements of Income as a CinergyCumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, net of tax and finalized.  While Statement 142 did not require the initial transition impairment test. Based on the resulttest to be completed until December 31, 2002, it required a transition impairment charge to be reflected as of this test, the transition impact of applying Statement 142 is not material to our financial position or results of operations.January 1, 2002.  We will continue to perform goodwill impairment tests annually, as required by Statement 142, or when circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit has declined significantly.

          Asset Retirement Obligations

          In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (Statement 143). Statement 143 which requires fair value recognition beginning January 1, 2003, of legal obligations to retireassociated with the retirement or removal of long-lived assets, at the time the obligations are incurred.  The initial recognition of this liability will beis accompanied by a corresponding increase in property, plant, and equipment.  Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability will beis adjusted for any revisions to the expected cash flows of the retirement obligation (with corresponding adjustments to property, plant, and equipment), and for accretion of the liability due to the passage of time (recognized as an operation expense).  Additional depreciation expense will beis recorded prospectively for any property, plant, and equipment increases.

          We currently accruepreviously accrued costs of removal on many regulated, long-lived assets through depreciation expense with a corresponding chargeif we believed removal of the assets at the end of their useful life was likely.  The SEC staff has interpreted Statement 143 to accumulated depreciation, as allowed by each regulatory jurisdiction. For assets that we conclude have a retirementdisallow the accrual of estimated cost of removal when no obligation exists under Statement 143, even if removal of the accounting we currently use willasset is likely.  As a result, all accumulated cost of removal for our non-regulated assets, primarily CG&E’s generation assets,

          85



          was reversed upon adoption.  However, accrued cost of removal for rate-regulated assets is recoverable through our rates as a component of depreciation.  Since Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation, applies, accruing estimated cost of removal continues to be modified to comply with this standard. We will adoptacceptable.  As a result, accumulated cost of removal was not reversed upon adoption of Statement 143 infor the first quarterrate-regulated assets of 2003. We have formed an implementation teamPSI, CG&E, and are continuing to analyze the impact of this statement. However, at this time, we have not determined whether its implementation will be material to our financial position or results of operations.ULH&P.

          Derivatives

          During 1998, the FASB issued Statement 133.  This standard was effective forCinergybeginning in 2001, and requires us to record derivative instruments, which are not exempt under certain provisions of Statement 133, as assets or liabilities, measured at fair value (i.e., mark-to-market).  Our financial statements reflect the adoption of Statement 133 in the first quarter of 2001.  Since many of our derivatives were previously required to use fair value accounting, the effects of implementation were not material.

           Our adoption did not reflect the potential impact of applying fair value accounting to selected electricity options and capacity contracts. We had not historically accounted for these instruments at fair value because they were intended as either hedges of peak period exposure or sales contracts served with physical generation, neither of which were considered trading activities. At adoption, we classified these contracts as normal purchases or sales based on our interpretation of Statement 133 and in the absence of definitive guidance on such contracts. In June 2001, the FASB staff issued guidance on the application of the normal purchases and sales exemption to electricity contracts containing characteristics of options. While many of the criteria in this guidance are consistent with the existing guidance in Statement 133, some criteria were added. We adopted the new guidance in the third quarter of 2001, and the effects of implementation for these contracts were not material to our

          75



          financial position or results of operations. We will continue to apply this guidance to any new electricity contracts that meet the definition of a derivative.

                  In December 2001, the FASB staff revised the current guidance to make the evaluation of whether electricity contracts qualify as normal purchases and sales more qualitative than quantitative. This new guidance uses several factors to distinguish between capacity contracts, which qualify for the normal purchases and sales exemption, and options, which do not. These factors include deal tenor, pricing structure, specification of the source of power, and various other factors. We adopted this guidance in the third quarter of 2002, and its impact was not material to our financial position or results of operations.

                  In October 2001, the FASB staff released final guidance on the applicability of the normal purchases and sales exemption to contracts that contain a minimum quantity (a forward component) and flexibility to take additional quantity at a fixed price (an option component). While this guidance was issued primarily to address optionality in fuel supply contracts, it applies to all derivatives (subject to certain exceptions for capacity contracts in electricity discussed in the previous paragraphs). This guidance concludes that such contracts are not eligible for the normal purchases and sales exemption due to the existence of optionality in the contract. We adopted this guidance in the second quarter of 2002, consistent with the transition provisions.Cinergy has certain contracts that contain fixed-price optionality, primarily coal contracts, which we reviewed to determine the impact of this new guidance. Due to a lack of liquidity with respect to coal markets in our region, we determined that our coal contracts do not meet the net settlement criteria of Statement 133 and thus do not qualify as derivatives. Given these conclusions, the results of applying this new guidance were not material to our financial position or results of operations.

          In May 2002, the FASB issued an exposure draft that would amend Statement 133 to incorporate certain implementation conclusions reached by the FASB staff. The proposed effective date would be the first quarter of 2003. We do not believe the amendment as currently drafted, will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

          Asset Impairment

                  In August 2001,2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,149, Accounting for the ImpairmentAmendment of Long-Lived AssetsStatement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Statement 144)149).  Statement 144 addresses accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets.149 primarily amends Statement 144 was effective beginning with the first quarter of 2002. The impact of133 to incorporate implementation on our financial position or results of operations was not material.

          Exit Activities

                  In August 2002,conclusions previously cleared by the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (Statement 146). Statement 146 addresses accounting and reporting for the recognition of exit costs, including, but not limitedstaff, to one-time employee benefit terminations, contract cancellations, and facility consolidations. This statement requires that such costs be recognized only when they meetclarify the definition of a liability under generally accepted accounting principles. Certainderivative and to require derivative instruments that include up-front cash payments to be classified as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows.  Implementation issues that have been previously cleared by the costs discussedFASB staff will continue to be applied in Note 8accordance with their respective effective dates at the time that they were cleared and new guidance has varying implementation provisions, none of which will apply until the "Notesthird quarter of 2003.  We have begun to Financial Statements" in "Item 1. Financial Information" were accrued under previous accounting standards thatevaluate the impacts of adopting Statement 146149 but are currently unable to determine whether the impacts will supersede when it becomes effective. However, Statement 146 applies onlybe material to exit activities initiated in 2003 and after. All costs recorded through September 30, 2002, are unaffected by this pronouncement. The impact of implementation on our financial position or results of operations or financial position.

          There has been recent discussion about the use of broad market indices (e.g., consumer price index) in power sales contracts and whether such indices disqualify capacity contracts that otherwise qualify for the use of the normal purchases and sales scope exception.  In April 2003, the FASB staff provided some proposed clarifications on this issue.  This guidance is not expectedcurrently open for public comment.  We expect this guidance to be material.finalized sometime during the summer of 2003, with a proposed effective date for Cinergy of October 1, 2003.  We are unable to determine whether the impact of this recent interpretation would be material to our results of operations or financial position until the FASB staff finalizes its guidance.

          76



          Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

                  As discussed in the 2001 Form 10-K, weWe have historically accounted for our stock-based compensation plans under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25).In July 2002,Cinergy announced that it willwould adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (Statement 123) effective with the next grant cycle (January 2003),for all employee awards granted or modified after January 1, 2003, and willwould begin measuring the compensation cost of stock-based awards under the fair value method.  On October 4,In December 2002, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft of a Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation- TransitionCompensation-Transition and Disclosure that would amend(Statement 148), which amends Statement 123 and

          86



          APB Opinion No. 28,Interim Financial Reporting. This proposed statement  Statement 148 provides alternative methods of transition to Statement 123 and more expanded disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results in both annual and interim financial statements.Cinergy intends to adoptadopted Statement 148 on January 1, 2003, and has adopted the transition provisions that require expensing options prospectively beginning in the year of adoption consistent with the original pronouncement. Existing awardsadoption.  Awards granted prior to January 1, 2003, will continue to follow the intrinsic value method prescribed by APB 25.  The anticipated impact of adoption on our financial position and results of operations, assuming award levels and fair values similar to past years, is not expected to be material.  This change will primarily impact the accounting for stock options and other performance based awards related to the Cinergy Corp. 1996 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, Cinergy Corp. Stock Option Plan, andthe Cinergy Corp. Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan, and the Cinergy Corp. Stock Option Plan.

          OtherConsolidation of SPEs

                  On October 24, 2002,Cinergy, through a press release, reported its

          The FASB issued Interpretation 46, in January 2003.  This interpretation will significantly change the consolidation requirements for SPEs.  We have begun reviewing the impact of this interpretation but have not yet concluded whether consolidation of certain SPEs will be required.  There are two SPEs for which consolidation may be required.  These SPEs have individual power sale agreements to an unrelated third quarter 2002 results consistentparty for approximately 45 MW of capacity, ending in 2009, and 35 MW of capacity, ending in 2016.  In addition, the SPEs have individual power purchase agreements with Capital & Trading to supply the EITF's June 2002 consensus in EITF 02-3 (see Energypower.  Capital & Trading above). This consensus required all realized and unrealized gains and losses on energy trading contracts be presented net in the income statement whether or not settled physically. Subsequentalso provides various services, including certain credit support facilities.

          Cinergy’s quantifiable exposure to the release, on October 25, 2002, the EITF reached a consensus which effectively supersedes the original June 2002 consensus. As a result, the adoption of EITF 02-3 is to become effective beginning in 2003.Cinergy,CG&E,PSI, andULH&Phave filed their third quarter 2002 financial statements herein consistent with their previous policy, and will adopt the revised consensus effective January 1, 2003.

          Other Matters

          Employee Severance Programs

                  In March 2002, a Voluntary Early Retirement Program (VERP) offering was made to approximately 280 non-union employees. Asloss as a result of involvement with these two SPEs is $28 million, which includes investments in these entities of $3 million and exposure under the 213 employees electing the VERPcapped credit facilities of approximately $25 million.  There is also a non-capped facility, but it can only be called upon in the second quarterevent the SPE breaches representations, violates covenants, or other unlikely events.

          If appropriate, consolidation of 2002,Cinergy,CG&E,all assets andPSI recorded expenses liabilities of approximately $35 million, $16 million (including $2 million related toULH&P), and $18 million, respectively, relating to benefits provided to the VERP participants. In the second quarter of 2002,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI incurred approximately $13 million, $2 million, and $4 million, respectively, in additional expenses related to other employee severance programs.

                  In June 2002, a VERP was also offered to approximately 70 Utility Workers of America / Independent Utilities Union # 600 (IUU) employees. As a result of the 41 employees electing the VERPthese two SPEs, at their carrying values, will be required in the third quarter of 2002,Cinergy,CG&E, andPSI recorded expenses2003.  Approximately $225 million of approximately $4 million, $2 million (including $1 million relatednon-recourse debt would be included in Cinergy’s Balance Sheet upon initial consolidation.  However, the impact on results of operations would be expected toULH&P), and $1 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2002 relating to benefits provided to IUU VERP participants.

          Pension Plans be immaterial.

           

          Cinergy maintains defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all U.S. employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements. Plan assets consist of investments in equity and fixed

          77



          income securities. The company is required to meet certain minimum funding standards under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Due to the decline in market value of the investment portfolio over the last few years, assets held in trust to satisfy plan obligations have decreased. Additionally, recent decreases in long-term interest rates have the effect of increasing the measured liability for funding purposes. As a result of these events, future funding obligations could increase substantially. Although the funding valuation will not be completed until 2003, preliminary estimates indicate a funding requirement of approximately $11 million for the calendar year 2003, which includes approximately $4.4 million related to the 2002 plan year. Additional contributions applicable to the 2003 plan year, to be made in 2004, are estimated at $24 million. Contributions for the calendar year 2002 were $4 million.

                  The decline in market value of fund assets coupled with anticipated assumption changes regarding discount rate and long-term rate of return will also affect recognized pension expense under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87Employers' Accounting for Pensions. Preliminary estimates of the effects of the above factors indicate an increase in expense of approximately $20 million in 2003.

          New Business Initiatives

                  In the third quarter of 2002, Capital & Trading completed an acquisition of a coal-based synthetic fuel production believes that its accounts receivable sale facility, which converts coal feedstock into synthetic fuel for sale to a third party. The cost of this acquisition was approximately $60 million. The synthetic fuel produced at this facility qualifies for tax credits in accordance with Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligibility for these tax credits expires in 2007. We anticipate the operation of the facility, together with the tax credits, will benefit our net income.

          Collective Bargaining Agreements

                  Asas discussed in the 2001 Form2002 10-K, the collective bargaining agreementswould remain unconsolidated since it involves transfers of the IUUfinancial assets to a qualifying SPE, which is exempted from consolidation by Statement 140 and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers # 1393 (IBEW) expired on April 1, 2002 and April 30, 2002, respectively. With regards to the contracts, the parties have negotiated new three-year agreements that will run through March 31, 2005 and April 30, 2005 for the IUU and IBEW, respectively.this interpretation.

          Federal Tax Law Changes

          87


                  In March 2002, President Bush signed into law the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, also known as the Economic Stimulus Package. The primary benefit to
          Cinergy is the allowance of additional first-year depreciation deductions for tax purposes, equal to 30 percent of the adjusted tax basis of qualified property. This provision applies to qualifying additions after September 11, 2001. The provisions of this bill will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

          Indiana Tax Law Changes

                  In June 2002, the Indiana Legislature passed a bill, which was signed by the Governor, containing new tax law provisions in Indiana that apply to both utility and non-utility companies with operations in the state. After review of the new provisions, we do not believe that the total impact of these changes will materially impactCinergy orPSI.

          PUCO Review of Financial Condition of Ohio Regulated Utilities

                  In October 2002, as the result of recent financial problems experienced by certain public utility companies and the current state of the economy, the PUCO issued an order initiating a review of the financial condition of the nineteen large public utilities (gas, electric, and telecommunication) serving Ohio customers, includingCG&E. The PUCO intends to identify available measures to ensure that the

          78



          regulated operations of the Ohio public utilities are not adversely impacted by the parent or affiliate companies' unregulated operations. The PUCO has requested comments, to be filed by November 12, 2002, regarding how the review should be conducted and on the potential measures the PUCO could take to protect the financial condition of the regulated utilities.CG&E filed comments; however, at this time we cannot predict the outcome of this review.

          Shareholder Rights Plan

                  In July 2000,Cinergy Corp.'s board of directors approved a Shareholder Rights Plan. Under the plan, each shareholder of record on October 30, 2000, received, as a dividend, a right to purchase fromCinergy Corp. one share of common stock at a price of $100. The rights were scheduled to expire in October 2010.

                  As part of its dedication to ensure a leadership position in adopting corporate governance practices that are considered best in class, on August 28, 2002,Cinergy Corp.'s board of directors approved a resolution to accelerate the termination date of the company's Shareholder Rights Plan. Under the resolution, the company terminated the plan, effective September 16, 2002. The company also amended the contract with the plan's agent and notified the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange of the change.

                  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Cinergy Corp., The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company (CG&E), PSI Energy, Inc. (PSI), and The Union Light, Heat and Power Company (ULH&P) believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of Cinergy Corp., CG&E, PSI, and ULH&P, these statements reflect all adjustments (which include normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to reflect the results of operations for the respective periods. The unaudited statements are subject to such adjustments as the annual audit by independent public accountants may disclose to be necessary.

          Pursuant to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrants have duly caused this report to be signed by an officer and the chief accounting officer on their behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
