-5- PENNSYLVANIA ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) GENERAL The interim consolidated financial statements included herein for Pennsylvania Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries: Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company, Pennsylvania Energy Marketing Company, Pennsylvania Energy Resources, Inc. and Theta Land Corporation, have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for the interim periods are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year, primarily due to the effect of seasonal variations in weather on the Company's operating utility, Pennsylvania Gas and Water Company ("PG&W"). However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods have been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K. (2) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On April 26, 1995, the Company and PG&W signed a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with American Water Works Company, Inc. ("American") and Pennsylvania-American Water Company ("Pennsylvania-American"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American, providing for the sale to Pennsylvania-American of substantially all of the assets, properties and rights of PG&W's water utility operations. Under the terms of the Agreement, Pennsylvania-American will pay approximately $409 million consisting of $254 million in cash and the assumption of $155 million of PG&W's liabilities, including $141 million of its long-term debt. This price is subject to adjustment for changes in the assets of PG&W's water utility operations and the liabilities to be assumed by Pennsylvania- American between December 31, 1994, and the date of closing, which currently is expected to take place in December, 1995. Until the closing, PG&W will continue to operate its water utility business. The sale price reflects a $6.5 million premium over the book value of the assets being sold. However, after transaction costs and the write-off of certain deferred regulatory assets and deferred credits, the sale will result in an estimated after tax loss of $5 to 8 million, net of the expected income from the water operations during the phase-out period to the date of closing (which has been assumed to be December 31, 1995). The sale will involve a gain for income tax purposes, primarily because of the accelerated depreciation that has been claimed by PG&W with respect to the water utility plant that is being sold. It is currently estimated that the income taxes payable on the sale, for which deferred income taxes have previously been provided, will be approximately $55 million. -6- The net cash proceeds from the sale of approximately $201 million, after the payment of income taxes, will be used by the Company and PG&W to retire debt, to repurchase stock and for working capital for their continuing operations. After the sale, the principal assets of the Company and PG&W will consist of PG&W's gas utility operations and approximately 46,000 acres of land. The sale of PG&W's water utility operations to Pennsylvania-American is subject to approval by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PPUC"), approval of the stockholders and certain debt holders of both the Company and PG&W, termination of the waiting period under federal antitrust laws, and various other regulatory approvals and certain other conditions. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect PG&W's water utility operations as "discontinued operations" effective March 31, 1995. Interest charges of PG&W have been allocated to the discontinued operations based on the relationship of the gross water utility plant that is being sold to the total of PG&W's gross gas and water utility plant. This is the same method as has been utilized by PG&W and the PPUC in establishing the revenue requirements of both PG&W's gas and water utility operations. None of the dividends on PG&W's preferred stock nor any of the Company's interest expense has been allocated to the discontinued operations. Selected financial information with respect to the discontinued operations is set forth below: [CAPTION] Net Assets of Discontinued Operations As of As of June 30, December 31, 1995 1994 (Thousands of Dollars) [S] [C] [C] Net utility plant $ 364,518 $ 359,399 Current assets (primarily accounts receivable and accrued revenues) 13,291 12,141 Deferred charges and other assets 27,111 31,103 Total assets being acquired by Pennsylvania-American 404,920 402,643 Liabilities being assumed by Pennsylvania-American Long-term debt 141,295 141,420 Other 14,280 13,168 155,575 154,588 Net assets being acquired by Pennsylvania-American 249,345 248,055 Estimated liability for income taxes on sale of discontinued operations (55,315) (55,542) Anticipated income from discontinued operations during the balance of the phase-out period 3,683 - Other net assets of discontinued operations (written off as of March 31, 1995) - 10,683 Total net assets of discontinued operations $ 197,713 $ 203,196 -7-

The PGC Order stated that Gas Transition Costs are subject to recovery through the annual PGC rate filing. PG&W was billed a total of $1.1 million of Gas Transition Costs by its interstate pipelines over a nineteen-month period extending through March 31, 1995. Of this amount, $858,000 was recovered by PG&W over a twelve-month period ended January 31, 1995, through an increase in its PGC rate. PG&W will seek recovery of the remaining $252,000 of Gas Transition Costs in its annual PGC rate that is effective December 1, 1995. The PGC Order also indicated that while Non-Gas Transition Costs are not natural gas costs eligible for recovery under the PGC rate filing mechanism, such costs are subject to full recovery by local distribution companies through the filing of a tariff pursuant to either the existing surcharge or base rate provisions of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code. By Order of the PPUC entered August 26, 1994, PG&W began recovering the Non-Gas Transition Costs that it estimates it will ultimately be billed pursuant to FERC Order 636 through the billing of a surcharge to its customers effective September 12, 1994. It is currently estimated that $9.4 million of Non-Gas Transition Costs will be billed to PG&W, generally over a four-year period extending through the fourth quarter of 1997, of which $5.0 million had been billed to PG&W and $3.0 million had been recovered from its customers as of June 30, 1995. PG&W has recorded the estimated Non-Gas Transition Costs that remain to be billed to it and the amounts remaining to be recovered from its customers. (4) RESTRICTED CASH - COMMON STOCK SUBSCRIBED On July 28, 1994, the Company implemented a Customer Stock Purchase Plan (the "Customer Plan") which provides the residential customers of PG&W with a method of purchasing newly-issued shares of the Company's common stock at a 5% discount from the market price. On January 3, 1995, the Company issued 45,360 shares of its common stock for an aggregate consideration of $1.2 million with respect to payments received pursuant to the Customer Plan during the December, 1994, subscription period. The payments so received during December, 1994, are reflected under captions "Restricted cash - common stock subscribed" and "Common shareholders' investment" in these consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1994. Effective May 9, 1995, the Company suspended the Customer Plan because of the significant reduction in its capital requirements that will result from the currently-pending sale of PG&W's water utility operations to Pennsylvania-American. Through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRP"), holders of shares of the Company's common stock may reinvest cash dividends and/or make cash investments in the common stock of the Company. On January 3, 1995, the Company issued 51,565 shares of its common stock for an aggregate consideration of $1.3 million with respect to cash investments made pursuant to the DRP during the fourth quarter of 1994. The investments so received during December, 1994, are reflected under the captions "Restricted cash - common stock subscribed" and "Common shareholders' investment" in these consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 1994. Effective May 9, 1995, the Company suspended the cash investment feature of the DRP because of the significant reduction in capital requirements that will result from the currently-pending sale of PG&W's water utility operations to Pennsylvania- American. -9- (5) COMMON STOCK On April 26, 1995, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan under the terms of which each shareholder of record at the close of business on May 16, 1995, received a dividend distribution of one right ("Right" or "Rights") for each share of common stock held. Each Right entitles shareholders to purchase from the Company one-half of a share of common stock. No less than two Rights, and only integral multiples of two Rights, may be exercised by holders of Rights at an exercise price of $100 per share of common stock (equivalent to $50 for each one-half share of common stock), subject to certain adjustments. The Rights will become exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company's common stock, or commences a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in that person or group owning at least 15% of the common stock. Prior to that time, the Rights will not trade separately from the common stock. If a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company's common stock, all other holders of Rights will then be entitled to purchase, by payment of the $100 exercise price upon the exercise of two Rights, the Company's common stock (or a common stock equivalent) with a value of twice the exercise price. In addition, at any time after a 15% position is acquired and prior to the acquisition by any person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, the Company's Board of Directors may, at its option, require each outstanding Right (other than Rights held by the acquiring person or group) to be exchanged for one share of common stock (or one common stock equivalent). If, following an acquisition of 15% or more of the Company's common stock, the Company is acquired by any person in a merger or other business combination transaction or sells more than 50% of its assets or earning power to any person (other than the currently-pending sale of PG&W's water utility operations to Pennsylvania-American or, if such sale is not consummated, any other sale of PG&W's water utility operations, if and as approved by the Company's Board of Directors), all other holders of Rights will then be entitled to purchase, by payment of the $100 exercise price upon the exercise of two Rights, common stock of the acquiring company with a value of twice the exercise price. The Company may redeem the Rights at $.005 per Right at any time prior to the time that a person or group has acquired 15% or more of its common stock. The Rights, which expire on May 16, 2005, do not have voting or dividend rights and, until they become exercisable, have no dilutive effect on the earnings per share of the Company. (6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Valve Maintenance On November 16, 1993, the PPUC staff issued an Emergency Order, subsequently ratified by the PPUC (the "Emergency Order"), requiring PG&W to survey its gas distribution system to verify the location and spacing of its gas shut off valves, to add or repair valves where needed and to establish programs for the periodic inspection and maintenance of all such valves and the verification of all gas service line information. On March 31, 1995, the PPUC adopted an Order approving a plan submitted by PG&W for complying with the Emergency Order. PG&W does not believe that compliance with the terms of such Order will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. -10- Environmental Matters PG&W, like many gas distribution companies, once utilized manufactured gas plants in connection with providing gas service to its customers. None of these plants has been in operation since 1960, and several of the plant sites are no longer owned by PG&W. Pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA"), PG&W filed notices with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") with respect to the former plant sites. None of the sites is or was formerly on the proposed or final National Priorities List. The EPA has conducted site inspections and made preliminary assessments of each site and has concluded that no further remedial action is planned. While this conclusion does not constitute a legal prohibition against further regulatory action under CERCLA or other applicable federal or state law, the Company does not believe that additional costs, if any, related to these manufactured gas plant sites would be material to its financial position or results of operations since environmental remediation costs generally are recoverable through rates over a period of time. -11- PENNSYLVANIA ENTERPRISES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS On April 26, 1995, the Company and PG&W signed a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with American Water Works Company, Inc. ("American") and Pennsylvania-American Water Company ("Pennsylvania-American"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of American, providing for the sale to Pennsylvania-American of substantially all of the assets, properties and rights of PG&W's water utility operations. Under the terms of the Agreement, Pennsylvania-American will pay approximately $409 million consisting of $254 million in cash and the assumption of $155 million of PG&W's liabilities, including $141 million of its long-term debt. This price is subject to adjustment for changes in the assets of PG&W's water utility operations and the liabilities to be assumed by Pennsylvania- American between December 31, 1994, and the date of closing, which currently is expected to take place in December, 1995. Until the closing, PG&W will continue to operate its water utility business. The sale price reflects a $6.5 million premium over the book value of the assets being sold. However, after transaction costs and the write-off of certain deferred regulatory assets and deferred credits, the sale will result in an estimated after tax loss of $5 to 8 million, net of the expected income from the water operations during the phase-out period (which for financial reporting purposes commenced April 1, 1995) to the date of closing (which has been assumed to be December 31, 1995). The net cash proceeds from the sale of approximately $201 million, after the payment of an estimated $55 million of income taxes, will be used by the Company and PG&W to retire debt, to repurchase stock and for working capital for their continuing operations. After the sale, the principal assets of the Company and PG&W will consist of PG&W's gas utility operations and approximately 46,000 acres of land. The sale of PG&W's water utility operations to Pennsylvania-American is subject to approval by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PPUC"), approval of the stockholders and certain debt holders of both the Company and PG&W, termination of the waiting period under federal antitrust laws, and various other regulatory approvals and certain other conditions. Until the closing, PG&W intends to utilize its existing bank lines of credit for the external financing requirements of the water utility operations, which the Company believes will be adequate for such purposes. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company's consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect PG&W's water utility operations as "discontinued operations" effective March 31, 1995, and the following sections of Management's Discussion and Analysis generally relate only to the Company's continuing operations, which consist primarily of PG&W's gas utility operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1995, Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 1994 Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased $1.4 million (5.2%) from $26.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $25.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily the result of the switching of certain commercial and industrial customers from sales to transportation service and a reduction in the purchased gas cost rate component of operating revenues effective May 16, 1995. See "-RATE MATTERS." Cost of Gas. The cost of gas decreased $1.5 million (10.3%) from $14.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $12.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, primarily because of the aforementioned switching to transportation service by certain commercial and industrial customers and the reduction in the gas cost rate effective May 16, 1995. See "- RATE MATTERS." -13- Operating Margin. The operating margin increased $96,000 (0.8%) from $12.2 million in the second quarter of 1994 to $12.3 million in the second quarter of 1995, primarily as a result of a 76,000 cubic feet (2.5%) increase in consumption by residential and commercial heating customers. Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses remained relatively unchanged for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, increasing by only $17,000 (0.2%). Operation and maintenance expenses increased $550,000 (8.8%), principally because of increased payroll and related costs, and depreciation expense increased by $114,000 (6.8%), as a result of additions to utility plant. However, taxes other than income taxes decreased $284,000, primarily as a result of decreased gross receipts tax attributable to the lower operating revenues. In addition, income taxes decreased by $363,000 (45.0%) from a credit of $807,000 in the second quarter of 1994 to a credit of $1.2 million in the second quarter of 1995 due to a decrease in income before income taxes (for this purpose, operating income net of interest charges) and a reduction in the Pennsylvania corporate net income tax rate. Although other operating expenses remained relatively unchanged, they increased as a percentage of operating revenues from 37.8% during the second quarter of 1994 to 39.9% during the second quarter of 1995 because of the decrease in revenues. Operating Income. As a result of the above, total operating income increased by $79,000 (3.6%) from $2.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $2.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, and increased as a percentage of total operating revenues for such periods from 8.2% in 1994 to 9.0% in 1995, primarily because of the decrease in operating revenues due to the switching of certain customers to transportation service and the reduction in the gas cost rate. Interest Charges. Interest charges increased by $612,000 (18.8%) from $3.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $3.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995. This increase was largely attributable to interest on overcollections of purchased gas costs and increased borrowings primarily as a result of the Company's May 31, 1994, term loan agreement. None of the interest expense on borrowings under the Company's term loan agreement or the Company's senior notes have been allocated to the discontinued operations. Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations. The loss from continuing operations increased $360,000 (33.3%) from $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, to $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995. This increase in the seasonal loss was largely the result of the matters discussed above, principally the increase in interest charges. Subsidiary's Preferred Stock Dividends. Dividends on preferred stock decreased $569,000 (45.1%) from $1.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $692,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, as a result of the redemption by PG&W on May 31, 1994, of 150,000 shares ($15.0 million) of its 9.50% cumulative preferred stock, $100 par value, and on December 16, 1994, of 150,000 shares ($15.0 million) of its 8.90% cumulative preferred stock, $100 par value. No dividends on preferred stock have been allocated to the discontinued operations. Net Income (Loss). The decrease in net income of $2.5 million from income of $415,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 1994, to a loss of $2.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 1995, as well as the decrease in earnings per share of common stock of $.35 from a loss of $.02 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 (after a $.10 per share charge for the premium -14- on redemption of subsidiary's preferred stock), to a loss of $.37 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, were largely the result of the elimination from earnings of the income from discontinued operations during the phase-out period for those operations. The anticipated income from the discontinued operations during the quarter ended June 30, 1995, was recorded as an offset to the estimated loss on the disposal of the discontinued operations which was recorded as of March 31, 1995. Also contributing to the decreases in net income and earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, was the lower income from continuing operations. The effects of these factors were partially offset by the reduced dividends on subsidiary's preferred stock and, in the case of earnings per share, the absence of any premium on the redemption of subsidiary's preferred stock. Six Months Ended June 30, 1995, Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased $13.4 million (12.5%) from $106.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $93.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily the result of a 1.6 billion cubic feet (10.8%) decrease in sales to residential and commercial heating customers, caused by a 590 (14.2%) decrease in heating degree days. There were 3,570 heating degree days (90.3% of normal) during the first six months of 1995 compared to 4,160 (105.2% of normal) during the first six months of 1994. Cost of Gas. The cost of gas decreased $10.5 million (16.3%) from $64.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $54.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, primarily because of the reduced consumption by residential and commercial heating customers. Operating Margin. The operating margin decreased $2.8 million (6.8%) from $42.0 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 to $39.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. However, as a percentage of operating revenues, the margin increased from 39.3% in the first six months of 1994 to 41.9% in the first six months of 1995 primarily as a result of the higher average charge per cubic foot to residential and commercial heating customers because of their lower consumption due to the warmer weather. Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses decreased $1.8 million (6.4%) from $28.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $27.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was primarily the result of a $1.7 million (33.7%) decrease in income taxes from $5.0 million in the first six months of 1994 to $3.3 million in the first six months of 1995 due to a decrease in income before income taxes (for this purpose, operating income net of interest charges) and a reduction in the Pennsylvania corporate net income tax rate. Also contributing to the decrease in other operating expenses was a $464,000 (6.6%) decrease in taxes other than income taxes, primarily because of a decrease in gross receipts tax as a result of the lower level of operating revenues. The effect of the decreases in taxes was partially offset by a $236,000 (7.1%) increase in depreciation expense, as a result of additions to utility plant, and a $63,000 (0.5%) increase in operation and maintenance expenses. Notwithstanding the decrease in other operating expenses, such expenses increased as a percentage of operating revenues from 26.9% during the first six months of 1994 to 28.8% during the first six months of 1995 because of the relatively greater decrease in revenues. -15- Operating Income. As a result of the above, total operating income decreased by $1.0 million (7.7%) from $13.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $12.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. Nonetheless, operating income increased as a percentage of total operating revenues for such periods from 12.4% in 1994 to 13.1% in 1995, primarily because of the decrease in the cost of gas as a percentage of operating revenues, the effect of which was partially offset by the lower levels of taxes. Interest Charges. Interest charges increased by $1.2 million (18.0%) from $6.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $7.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. This increase was largely attributable to interest on overcollections of purchased gas costs and increased borrowings primarily as a result of the Company's May 31, 1994, term loan agreement. None of the interest expense on borrowings under the Company's term loan agreement or the Company's senior notes have been allocated to the discontinued operations. Income (Loss) From Continuing Operations. Income from continuing operations decreased $2.0 million (28.5%) from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This decrease was largely the result of the matters discussed above, principally the decrease in operating margin resulting from the lower level of sales to residential and commercial heating customers. The effect of the decreased operating margin was partially offset by the lower levels of taxes. Subsidiary's Preferred Stock Dividends. Dividends on preferred stock decreased $1.3 million (47.7%) from $2.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to $1.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, as a result of the redemption by PG&W on May 31, 1994, of 150,000 shares ($15.0 million) of its 9.50% cumulative preferred stock, $100 par value, and on December 16, 1994, of 150,000 shares ($15.0 million) of its 8.90% cumulative preferred stock, $100 par value. No dividends on preferred stock have been allocated to the discontinued operations. Net Income (Loss). The decrease in net income of $9.1 million (101.9%) from income of $9.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, to a loss of $168,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, as well as the decrease in earnings per share of common stock of $1.58 from earnings of $1.55 per share for the six months ended June 30, 1994 (after a $.10 per share charge for the premium on redemption of subsidiary's preferred stock), to a loss of ($.03) per share for the six months ended June 30, 1995, were largely the result of the estimated loss (equivalent to $1.02 per share) on the disposal of discontinued operations, as discussed above. Also contributing to the decreases in net income and earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 1995, was the lower income from continuing operations. The effects of these factors were partially offset by the reduced dividends on subsidiary's preferred stock and, in the case of earnings per share, the absence of any premium on the redemption of subsidiary's preferred stock. RATE MATTERS Pursuant to the provisions of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code (the "Code") which require that the tariffs of larger gas distribution companies, such as PG&W, be adjusted on an annual basis to reflect changes in their purchased gas costs, the PPUC, by Order adopted November 10, 1994, authorized PG&W to decrease the gas costs contained in its gas tariff rates from $3.74 to $3.68 per thousand cubic feet effective December 1, 1994. This change in gas -16- rates on account of purchased gas costs was designed to produce a decrease in annual revenue of $1.8 million. In accordance with the same provisions of the Code, by Order adopted May 11, 1995, the PPUC authorized PG&W to decrease the gas costs contained in its gas rates to $2.42 per thousand cubic feet effective May 15, 1995, in order to refund overcollections from customers caused by lower than anticipated purchased gas costs and the receipt of supplier refunds during 1995. This change in gas rates on account of purchased gas costs was designed to produce a decrease in revenue of $8.2 million from its effective date through December 1, 1995. The changes in gas rates on account of purchased gas costs have no effect on the Company's earnings since the changes in revenue are offset by corresponding changes in the cost of gas. Effective June 14, 1995, the PPUC adopted regulations that provide for the quarterly adjustment of the annual purchased gas cost rate of larger gas distribution companies, including PG&W. Except for reducing the amount of any over or undercollections of gas costs, these regulations will not have any material effect on PG&W's financial position or results of operations, and PG&W will still be required to file an annual purchased gas cost rate. On October 15, 1993, the PPUC adopted an annual purchased gas cost ("PGC") order (the "PGC Order") regarding recovery of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") Order 636 transition costs. The PGC Order stated that Account 191 and New Facility Costs (the "Gas Transition Costs") are subject to recovery through the annual PGC rate filings made with the PPUC by PG&W and other larger local gas distribution companies. The PGC Order also indicated that while Gas Supply Realignment and Stranded Costs (the "Non-Gas Transition Costs") are not natural gas costs eligible for recovery under the PGC rate filing mechanism, such costs are subject to full recovery by local distribution companies through the filing of a tariff pursuant to either the existing surcharge or base rate provisions of the Code. The PGC Order further stated that all such filings would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. PG&W was billed a total of $1.1 million of Gas Transition Costs by its interstate pipelines over a nineteen-month period extending through March 31, 1995. Of this amount, $858,000 was recovered by PG&W over a twelve-month period ended January 31, 1995, through an increase in its PGC rate. PG&W will seek recovery of the remaining $252,000 of Gas Transition Costs in its annual PGC rate that is effective December 1, 1995. By Order of the PPUC entered August 26, 1994, PG&W began recovering the Non- Gas Transition Costs that it estimates it will ultimately be billed pursuant to FERC Order 636 through the billing of a surcharge to its customers effective September 12, 1994. It is currently estimated that $9.4 million of Non-Gas Transition Costs will be billed to PG&W, generally over a four-year period extending through the fourth quarter of 1997, of which $5.0 million had been billed to PG&W and $3.0 million had been recovered from its customers as of June 30, 1995. PG&W has recorded the estimated Non-Gas Transition Costs that remain to be billed to it and the amounts remaining to be recovered from its customers. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The primary capital needs of the Company are the funding of PG&W's construction program and the seasonal funding of PG&W's gas purchases and increases in its customer accounts receivable. PG&W's revenues are highly seasonal and weather-sensitive, with approximately 75% of its revenues normally being realized in the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year when the temperatures in its service area are the coldest. -17- The cash flow from PG&W's operations is generally sufficient to fund a portion of its construction expenditures. However, to the extent external financing is required, it is the practice of PG&W to use bank borrowings to fund such expenditures, pending the periodic issuance of stock and long-term debt. Bank borrowings are also used by PG&W for the seasonal funding of its gas purchases and increases in customer accounts receivable. In order to so finance construction expenditures and to meet its seasonal borrowing requirements, and also to provide funding required for its discontinued operations, PG&W has made arrangements for a total of $75.5 million of unsecured revolving bank credit. Specifically, PG&W has entered into a revolving bank credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with a group of six banks under the terms of which $60.0 million is available for borrowing by PG&W. The Credit Agreement terminates on May 31, 1996, at which time any borrowings outstanding thereunder are due and payable. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement is generally less than prime. The Credit Agreement also requires the payment of a commitment fee of 0.195% per annum on the average daily amount of the unused portion of the available funds. As of August 1, 1995, $34.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the Credit Agreement. PG&W currently has five additional bank lines of credit with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $15.5 million which provide for borrowings at interest rates generally less than prime. Borrowings outstanding under these bank lines of credit are due and payable at various dates during 1996, the earliest of which is March 31, 1996. As of August 1, 1995, PG&W had $11.3 million of borrowings outstanding under these additional bank lines of credit. Both the Company and PG&W periodically engage in long-term debt and capital stock financings in order to obtain funds required for construction expenditures, the refinancing of existing debt and various working capital purposes. No long-term debt or capital stock financings were consummated by either the Company or PG&W during the six-month period ended June 30, 1995. However, PG&W is currently negotiating the terms of a $50.0 million bank loan, the proceeds of which would be used to redeem the $50.0 million principal amount of its 9.57% Series First Mortgage Bonds due September 1, 1996. PG&W has not reached any definitive agreement regarding this proposed loan nor has it obtained the required approval of the PPUC. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such loan and the related refunding of the 9.57% Series First Mortgage Bonds will necessarily occur. The Company also obtains external funds from the sale of its common stock through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRP"), Customer Stock Purchase Plan (the "Customer Plan") and Employees' Savings Plan. During the six-month period ended June 30, 1995, the Company realized $2.7 million, $2.4 million and $312,000 from the issuance of common stock under the DRP, Customer Plan and Employees' Savings Plan, respectively. However, because of the significant reduction in its capital requirements that will result from the currently-pending sale of PG&W's water utility operations to Pennsylvania- American, effective May 9, 1995, the Company suspended both the investment feature of the DRP, from which $2.0 million was realized in 1995 prior to such action, and the Customer Plan. Expenditures for the construction of utility plant totaled $8.8 million during the first six months of 1995 and are currently estimated to be $16.0 million during the remainder of the year. PG&W's construction expenditures are being financed with internally-generated funds and bank borrowings, pending the periodic issuance of stock and long-term debt. -18- Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt and Preferred Stock As of June 30, 1995, $36.7 million of PG&W preferred stock and long-term debt was required to be repaid within twelve months. Such amount included borrowings of $29.0 million under the Credit Agreement and $2.5 million under an additional bank line of credit, both of which expire on May 31, 1996, and $1.8 million under another bank line of credit which expires on June 30, 1996. Prior to their respective expirations, PG&W intends to renew the Credit Agreement and its other bank lines of credit to the extent the related borrowing capacity is required. Also included in current maturities of long-term debt and preferred stock as of June 30, 1995, was $3.3 million of PG&W's 8% Series First Mortgage Bonds due 1997. These bonds, representing all of the 8% Series still outstanding, were redeemed by PG&W on July 10, 1995, at a price of 100.34% of principal (plus accrued interest to the redemption date), which included a voluntary redemption premium aggregating $11,305, with funds from bank borrowings. Long Lived Assets In March 1995, Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets", was issued. The provisions of this statement, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1995, require that long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles, capital leases and goodwill be reviewed for impairment whenever events occur or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In addition, FASB Statement 121 requires that regulatory assets meet the recovery criteria of FASB Statement 71, "Accounting for Effects of Certain Types of Regulation", on an ongoing basis in order to avoid a writedown. The implementation of FASB Statement 121 in 1996 is not expected to have any significant impact on the Company or PG&W since the carrying amount of all assets, including regulatory assets, is considered recoverable. -19- PART II.
