8 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Company's earnings increased $3.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 1994, as compared to the same periods last year. Electric sales were strong, reflecting significantly warmer weather and the continued strength of West Central Ohio's economy. DP&L customers recently set an all time peak demand for electricity usage of 2,824 MW on June 20. Year-to-date electric and natural gas retail sales have both increased 5% over the prior year. An analysis of the financial condition and results of operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 is discussed below. Financial Condition - ------------------- Construction plans are subject to continuing review and are expected to be revised in light of changes in financial and economic conditions, load forecasts, legislative and regulatory developments and changing environmental standards, among other factors. The Company's ability to complete its capital projects and the reliability of future service will be affected by its financial condition, the availability of external funds at reasonable cost and adequate and timely rate increases. As of June 30, 1994, the Company's cash and temporary cash investment balance was $30 million. The Company has available to it $97 million in short-term informal lines of credit. As of June 30, 1994, the Company had no short-term debt outstanding. DPL Inc. and its subsidiaries have $200 million available through a Revolving Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 1994, DPL Inc. had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Agreement. The Company has authority from the PUCO to issue short term debt up to $200 million with a maximum debt limit of $300 million including loans from DPL Inc. under the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Company anticipates that it has sufficient capacity to issue First Mortgage Bonds to satisfy its requirements in connection with the financing of its construction and refinancing programs during the five year period 1994-1998. 9 Results of Operations - --------------------- Electric revenues increased $19.4 million and $36.8 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994, over the corresponding periods in 1993. Energy sales remained strong in the second quarter and first half of 1994 reflecting the continued strength of the West Central Ohio economy and unusually warm weather. Total retail electric sales increased 5% for the first six months of the year, contributing to the increases in revenues. The electric revenue increase also includes the effects of the last phase of the electric rate increase. Fuel used in electric and steam production increased $4.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively, over the second quarter and year-to-date 1993, primarily related to increased electric sales. Gas revenues and gas purchased for resale remained constant for the quarter compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Year-to-date gas revenues and gas purchased for resale increased $8.5 million and $6.3 million, respectively, over the same period in 1993. The higher amounts resulted from a total gas sales increase of 8% and a higher gas cost recovery factor. Interest and other income decreased in the second quarter and first six months of 1994 from 1993 amounts. The 1994 periods included $3.4 million of interest on federal income tax refunds, compared to $5.8 million in 1993. Operating and administrative expenses decreased $8.3 million during the second quarter and $12.2 million year-to-date from the same periods a year ago. Bond redemption costs of $15 million and $7.5 million were incurred in the first and second quarters of 1993. Benefits and claims costs increased in 1994 versus 1993. Maintenance expenses increased $2.2 million and $5.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994, over the corresponding periods in 1993 due to electric generating station maintenance activities. General taxes expense increased $1.3 million during the second quarter and $2.8 million year-to-date over the same periods a year ago. The increase is primarily related to higher gross receipts taxes due to higher revenues. 10 Interest expense decreased $2.5 million year-to-date in 1994 due to the issuance of First Mortgage Bonds in 1993 overlapping the related debt series which were subsequently redeemed in 1993 and lower interest rates on long term debt obtained through the refinancings. Phase-in deferrals capitalized in years prior to 1994 are being recovered over a seven year period commencing in 1994. Income taxes increased $6.1 million and $15.8 million, respectively, for the second quarter and year-to-date 1994, over the corresponding periods in 1993. The higher amounts result from a corresponding increase in taxable income over the same periods in the prior year. 11 Part II. Other Information --------------------------- Item 5. Other Information. Electric Operations and Fuel Supply - ----------------------------------- 1. A merger agreement between The Cincinnati Gas & Electric Company and PSI Resources, Inc. is currently pending. The Company intervened in the merger proceedings at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") in January 1993 and at the Securities and Exchange Commission in June 1994 to ensure that the operations of its commonly owned generating units will not be adversely impacted by the merger. 2. The Company provides partial requirements service to twelve municipal customers which distribute electricity within their corporate limits. The Company has negotiated a new service agreement with these municipalities that is subject to review and approval by each municipality's government body and the FERC. 3. The Company has also negotiated a new interconnection agreement with its only municipal customer that can generate all or a portion of its energy requirements. This agreement is currently pending approval by FERC. Sales to municipal customers represented 1.3% of total electric sales for the twelve month period ended June 30, 1994. Gas Operations and Gas Supply - ----------------------------- 1. On July 31, 1991, Columbia Gas System Inc. and Columbia Gas Transportation Corporation ("Columbia"), one of the Company's major pipeline suppliers, filed separate Chapter 11 petitions in U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The bankruptcy court permitted Columbia to break approximately 4,500 long term natural gas contracts with upstream suppliers on August 22, 1991, January 6, 1992, and January 8, 1992. On February 13, 1992, the bankruptcy court ruled on a motion by Columbia to flow through to its customers all appropriate refunds, including take-or-pay refunds which were received from its upstream suppliers and excessive rate refunds except for approximately $18 million of pre-petition take-or-pay refunds. However, on July 6, 1992, the U.S. District Court for Delaware reversed the bankruptcy court. On July 8, 1993, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the District Court for Delaware and reinstated 12 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court's ruling that Columbia may flow through to its customers all post petition take-or-pay refunds which were received from its upstream suppliers. The U.S. Supreme Court denied an appeal on February 18, 1994 of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals' decision. The Company has recovered all appropriate post petition take-or-pay refunds from Columbia as ordered by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Pre-petition refunds will remain in the bankruptcy estate until a plan of reorganization is approved. On June 24, 1994, in Baltimore Gas & Electric Company v. FERC, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit decided in favor of Columbia's customers by holding that a 1985 settlement between the parties should have prohibited Columbia from collecting pre-1987 upstream take-or-pay costs from its customers. FERC has been ordered by the Court of Appeals to determine the actual amount of the refund due to the Company and other customers. Such refunds will remain in the bankruptcy estate until a plan of reorganization is approved. The parties to the bankruptcy are currently evaluating Columbia's proposed plan of reorganization. Based upon a July 1993 FERC order disallowing the recovery of natural gas producer contracts rejected in the bankruptcy case, the Company does not expect the bankruptcy proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its earnings or competitive position. 2. In January 1994, the Company, the Staff of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") and the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel submitted to the PUCO an agreement which resolves issues relating to the recovery of Order 636 "transition costs" to be billed to the Company by FERC natural gas interstate pipeline companies. The agreement, which was approved by the PUCO on July 14, 1994, provides for the full recovery of these transition costs from the Company's customers. The interstate pipelines will file with the FERC for authority to recover these transition costs, the exact magnitude of which has not been established. Rate Regulation and Government Legislation - ------------------------------------------- 1. On April 13, 1994, Ms. Jolynn Barry-Butler was reappointed as a PUCO commissioner. 13 2. On June 1, 1994, the Company filed its natural gas Long-Term Forecast Report ("LTFR") with the PUCO. The Company filed its electric LTFR with the PUCO on June 15, 1994. An Integrated Resource Plan filed as part of the electric LTFR included plans for the construction of a series of 70 MW combustion turbine generating units, the first of which is scheduled for completion in June 1995, and also the implementation of demand-side management programs. Environmental Considerations - ---------------------------- Land Use - -------- The Company and numerous other parties received notification from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on July 27, 1994 that it considers them Potentially Responsible Parties for clean-up of hazardous substances at the North Sanitary (a.k.a. Valleycrest) Landfill in Dayton, Ohio. The Company does not believe it will be required to participate in the remediation of this site since available information does not demonstrate that the Company contributed wastes to the site. The final resolution will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or earnings. Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.
