(c)      Exhibits

         Exhibit 99.1  Press release dated October 24, 2003

         Exhibit 99.2  Transcript of Conference Call conducted October 24, 2003



Item 12.   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

     On October 24, 2003, SCANA  Corporation,  issued the press release attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and conducted a conference  call, the transcript of which
is  attached  hereto as Exhibit  99.2.  The press  release  discloses a non-GAAP
measure,  GAAP-adjusted  net earnings from  operations,  which excludes from net
income  (loss) (i) the  cumulative  effects of  mandated  changes in  accounting
principles and (ii) the effects of sales of certain  investments  and impairment
charges related to certain  investments.  Management believes that GAAP-adjusted
net  earnings  from  operations  provides  a  meaningful  representation  of the
Company's   fundamental   earnings   power   and   improves   comparability   of
period-over-period financial performance.
