SCANA Corporation and Subsidiaries

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company and Affiliates

Combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The following unaudited notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are a combined presentation. Except as otherwise indicated herein, each note applies to the Company and Consolidated SCE&G; however, Consolidated SCE&G makes no representation as to information relating solely to SCANA Corporation or its subsidiaries (other than Consolidated SCE&G).

The following notes should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing in each company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. These are interim financial statements and, due to the seasonality of each company's business and matters that may occur during the rest of the year, the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the full year.  In the opinion of the respective company's management, the information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, all of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. In addition, the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Consolidation and Variable Interest Entities

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include, after eliminating intercompany balances and transactions, the accounts of the parent holding company and each of its subsidiaries, including Consolidated SCE&G. Accordingly, discussions regarding the Company's financial results necessarily include the results of Consolidated SCE&G.

SCE&G has determined that it has a controlling financial interest in GENCO and Fuel Company (which are considered to be VIEs) and, accordingly, Consolidated SCE&G's condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCE&G, GENCO and Fuel Company. The equity interests in GENCO and Fuel Company are held solely by SCANA, SCE&G’s parent. As a result, GENCO’s and Fuel Company’s equity and results of operations are reflected as noncontrolling interest in Consolidated SCE&G’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

GENCO owns a coal-fired electric generating station with a 605 MW net generating capacity (summer rating). GENCO’s electricity is sold, pursuant to a FERC-approved tariff, solely to SCE&G under the terms of a power purchase agreement and related operating agreement. The effects of these transactions are eliminated in consolidation. Substantially all of GENCO’s property (carrying value of approximately $485 million) serves as collateral for its long-term borrowings. Fuel Company acquires, owns and provides financing for SCE&G’s nuclear fuel, certain fossil fuels and emission and other environmental allowances. See also Note 4.

Income Statement Presentation

Revenues and expenses arising from regulated businesses and, in the case of the Company, retail natural gas marketing businesses (including those activities of segments described in Note 10) are presented within operating income, and all other activities are presented within other income (expense). Consistent with this presentation, the Company presents the 2015 gain on the sale of CGT within operating income and the 2015 gain on the sale of SCI within other income (expense).

Asset Management and Supply Service Agreement

PSNC Energy, a subsidiary of SCANA, utilizes an asset management and supply service agreement with a counterparty for certain natural gas storage facilities.  Such counterparty held 42% and 46% of PSNC Energy’s natural gas inventory at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, with a carrying value of $9.2 million and $17.7 million, respectively, through an agency relationship.  Under the terms of the asset management agreement, PSNC Energy receives storage asset management feesof which 75% are credited to rate payers. No fees are received under the supply service agreement. This agreement expires on March 31, 2017.

17

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. When applicable, the Company computes diluted earnings per share using this same formula, after giving effect to securities considered to be dilutive potential common stock utilizing the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of common shares for each period presented for basic and diluted earnings per share purposes were identical.

Dispositions

In the first quarter of 2015, SCANA sold CGT and SCI. CGT was an interstate natural gas pipeline regulated by FERC that transported natural gas in South Carolina and southeastern Georgia, and it was sold to Dominion Resources, Inc. SCI provided fiber optic communications and other services and built, managed and leased communications towers in several southeastern states, and it was sold to a subsidiary of Spirit Communications. These sales resulted in recognition of pre-tax gains totaling approximately $342 million. As previously noted, the pre-tax gain from the sale of CGT is included within Operating Income and the pre-tax gain from the sale of SCI is included within Other Income (Expense) on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of income.

CGT and SCI operated principally in wholesale markets, whereas the Company's primary focus is the delivery of energy-related products and services to retail markets. In addition, neither CGT nor SCI met accounting criteria for disclosure as a reportable segment and were included within the All Other caption in Note 10. The sales of CGT and SCI did not represent a strategic shift that had a major effect on the Company's operations; therefore, these sales did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts within the reconciliations of Net income to Net Cash Provided From Operating Activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of the Company and Consolidated SCE&G have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, $(133) million of non-cash changes in fair value of interest rate swaps has been reclassified from the changes in Derivative financial instruments caption (which for Consolidated SCE&G resulted in the caption being eliminated) with offsetting reclassifications of $149 million from the changes in Regulatory assets caption, $31 million from the changes in Regulatory liabilities caption, $(41) million from the changes in Other assets caption and $(6) million from the changes in Other liabilities caption. Additionally, due to insignificance, the captions for changes in Interest accrued and changes in Pension and other postretirement benefits which were utilized in the reconciliation for the prior period have been eliminated and their amounts included within changes in Other liabilities. These reclassifications had no effect on Net Cash Provided From Operating Activities or on any other subtotal in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

New Accounting Matters

In May 2014, the FASB issued accounting guidance for revenue arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. This revenue recognition model provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized, and will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive

in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance must be adopted no later than the first quarter of 2018, and early adoption is permitted in the first quarter of 2017. Adoption using a retrospective method, with options to elect certain practical expedients, or recognition of a cumulative effect in the year of initial adoption, is required. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G have not determined when this guidance will be adopted, which method of adoption will be employed or what practical expedients may be elected. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G have not determined the impact this guidance will have on their respective financial statements. However, the identification of implementation project team members and the inventorying of contracts with customers to which the guidance might be applicable, particularly large customer contracts, have begun.

In July 2015, the FASB issued accounting guidance intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory cost by requiring most inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G expect to adopt this guidance when required in the first quarter of 2017. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G are evaluating this guidance and do not anticipate that its adoption will have a significant impact on their respective financial statements.

18

In January 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance intended to clarify the classification and measurement of financial instruments and financial liabilities, among other things. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G expect to adopt this guidance when required in the first quarter of 2018. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G are evaluating this guidance and do not anticipate that its adoption will have a significant impact on their respective financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance related to the recognition, measurement and presentation of

leases. The guidance applies a right-of-use model and, for lessees, requires all leases with a duration over 12 months to be

recorded on the balance sheet, with the rights of use treated as assets and the payment obligations treated as liabilities. Further,

and without consideration of any regulatory accounting requirements which may apply, depending primarily on the nature of the assets and the relative consumption of them, lease costs will be recognized either through the separate amortization of the right-of-use asset and the recognition of the interest cost related to the payment obligation, or through the recording of a combined straight-line rental expense. For lessors, the guidance calls for the recognition of income either through the derecognition of assets and subsequent recording of interest income on lease amounts receivable, or through the recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis, also depending on the nature of the assets and relative consumption. The guidance will be effective for years beginning in 2019. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G have not determined what impact this guidance will have on their respective financial statements. However, the identification of implementation project team members and the initial identification of leasing and related contracts to which the guidance might be applicable have begun.

In March 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance changing how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Entities will be required to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G expect to adopt this guidance when required in the first quarter of 2017. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G are evaluating this guidance and, based on the nature of their current share-based awards practices, do not anticipate that its adoption will have a significant impact on their respective financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued accounting guidance requiring the use of a current expected credit loss impairment model for certain financial instruments. The new model is applicable to trade receivables and most debt instruments, among other financial instruments, and is intended to result in impairment losses being recognized earlier than under current guidance. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G must adopt this guidance beginning in 2020, including interim periods, though the guidance may be adopted in 2019. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G have not determined when this guidance will be adopted or what impact it will have on their respective financial statements.

2.RATE AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS

Rate Matters

Electric - Cost of Fuel

By order dated July 15, 2015, the SCPSC approved a settlement agreement among SCE&G, ORS and certain other parties concerning SCE&G's petition for approval to participate in a DER program and to recover DER program costs as a separate component of SCE&G's overall fuel factor. Under this order, SCE&G will, among other things, implement programs to encourage the development of renewable energy facilities with a total nameplate capacity of at least approximately 84.5 MW by the end of 2020, of which half is to be customer-scale solar capacity and half is to be utility-scale solar capacity. SCE&G is to make a good faith effort to have at least 30 MW of utility-scale solar capacity in service by the end of 2016.

By order dated April 29, 2016, the SCPSC approved a settlement agreement among SCE&G, ORS and certain other parties to decrease the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates. SCE&G reduced the total fuel cost component of retail electric rates to reflect lower projected fuel costs and to eliminate over-collected balances of approximately $61 million for base fuel and environmental costs over a 12-month period beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2016. SCE&G also began to recover projected DER program costs of approximately $6.9 million beginning with the first billing cycle of May 2016.

Electric - Base Rates

Pursuant to an SCPSC order, SCE&G removes from rate base certain deferred income tax assets arising from capital expenditures related to the New Units and accrues carrying costs on those amounts during periods in which they are not included in rate base.  Such carrying costs are determined at SCE&G’s weighted average long-term debt borrowing rate and are recorded as a regulatory asset and other income. Carrying costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled $3.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, carrying costs totaled $2.2

19

million and $4.1 million, respectively. SCE&G anticipates that when the New Units are placed in service and accelerated tax depreciation is recognized on them, these deferred income tax assets will decline. When these deferred income tax assets are fully offset by related deferred income tax liabilities, the carrying cost accruals will cease, and the regulatory asset will begin to be amortized.

By Order dated April 29, 2016, the SCPSC approved SCE&G’s request to increase its pension costs component rider. This pension rider is subject to an annual true-up, depending on conditions in financial markets and other factors. The pension rider is designed to allow SCE&G to recover projected pension costs, including under-collections, over a 12-month period, beginning with the first billing cycle in May 2016.

In April 2016, ORS filed a report arising from its review of SCE&G’s annual DSM Programs rate rider filing. ORS concluded the updated DSM Programs rider proposal was developed in accordance with terms and conditions approved by the SCPSC in prior orders and recommended that SCE&G's request be approved. In addition, ORS recommended SCE&G update the three-year planning models used to calculate the overall effectiveness of the DSM Programs for future program years. By Order dated April 29, 2016, the SCPSC accepted ORS's recommendations and approved SCE&G's request to recover $37.6 million of costs and net lost revenues associated with the DSM Programs.

Electric - BLRA

On May 26, 2016, SCE&G petitioned the SCPSC seeking approval to update the capital cost schedule and construction milestone schedule for the New Units consistent with the October 2015 Amendment. Within this petition, SCE&G also informed the SCPSC that it had notified WEC of its intent to elect the fixed price option, subject to concurrence by Santee Cooper and approval by the SCPSC. The petition reflects an increase in total project costs of approximately $852 million over the cost approved by the SCPSC in September 2015, of which approximately $505 million is directly attributable to the fixed price option. The project's estimated gross construction cost is now estimated to be approximately $7.7 billion, including owner’s costs, transmission, escalation and AFC. On June 30, 2016, Santee Cooper's board of directors approved a resolution authorizing the execution of a limited agency agreement pursuant to which SCE&G, for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper, would elect the fixed price option on its behalf. SCE&G then executed the fixed price option on July 1, 2016, subject to SCPSC approval. A public hearing on this matter is scheduled to begin on October 4, 2016, and the SCPSC is expected to issue its order in November 2016. See also Note 9.

On June 27, 2016, SCE&G filed its annual request for approval of revised rates under the provisions of the BLRA. Under this request, SCE&G has proposed an overall increase of approximately $74.2 million or 3.1% in retail electric rates. The ORS is expected to issue an audit report by August 29, 2016, and the SCPSC is expected to issue its order by October 27, 2016. If approved, the rate increase is anticipated to be effective on November 26, 2016.

Gas - SCE&G

On June 15, 2016, SCE&G filed with the SCPSC its quarterly monitoring report for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2016, and proposed an approximately $4.4 million, or 1.23%, overall increase to its natural gas rates under the terms of the RSA. The ORS is expected to issue an audit report by September 1, 2016 and the SCPSC is expected to issue its order by October 15, 2016. If approved, the rate adjustment will be effective for the first billing cycle in November 2016.

Gas - PSNC Energy

On March 31, 2016, PSNC Energy filed a general rate case application with the NCUC requesting a general rate increase of approximately $41.6 million, or approximately 9.7%, in annual revenue. The rate increase is largely associated with recovering costs related to expanding and operating PSNC Energy's pipeline system. In its application, PSNC Energy requested approval of a rider to its rates to track and provide for ongoing recovery of capital expenditures related to PSNC Energy’s transmission and distribution pipeline integrity management programs. A hearing on the application is scheduled for the week of August 29, 2016.

Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities

Rate-regulated utilities recognize in their financial statements certain revenues and expenses in different periods than do other enterprises.  As a result, the Company and Consolidated SCE&G have recorded regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities which are summarized in the following tables. Other than unrecovered plant, substantially all regulatory assets are either explicitly excluded from rate base or are effectively excluded from rate base due to their being offset by related liabilities.

Other	165		144		145		129
Total Regulatory Assets	$	2,168	$	1,937	$	2,083	$	1,857

Regulatory Liabilities:
Asset removal costs	$	747	$	732	$	528	$	519
Deferred gains on interest rate derivatives	81		96		81		96
Other	27		27		19		20
Total Regulatory Liabilities	$	855	$	855	$	628	$	635

Accumulated deferred income tax liabilities that arise from utility operations that have not been included in customer rates are recorded as a regulatory asset.  Substantially all of these regulatory assets relate to depreciation and are expected to be recovered over the remaining lives of the related property which may range up to approximately 85 years.  Similarly, accumulated deferred income tax assets arising from deferred investment tax credits are recorded as a regulatory liability.

Environmental remediation costs represent costs associated with the assessment and clean-up of sites currently or formerly owned by the Company or Consolidated SCE&G, and are expected to be recovered over periods of up to approximately 24 years.

ARO and related funding represents the regulatory asset associated with the legal obligation to decommission and dismantle Summer Station and conditional AROs related to generation, transmission and distribution properties, including gas pipelines. These regulatory assets are expected to be recovered over the related property lives and periods of decommissioning which may range up to approximately 110 years.

Employee benefit plan costs of the regulated utilities have historically been recovered as they have been recorded under GAAP. Deferred employee benefit plan costs represent amounts of pension and other postretirement benefit costs which were accrued as liabilities and treated as regulatory assets pursuant to FERC guidance, and costs deferred pursuant to specific SCPSC regulatory orders. In 2013 SCE&G began recovering through utility rates approximately $63 million of deferred pension costs for electric operations over approximately 30 years and approximately $14 million of deferred pension costs for gas operations over approximately 14 years. The remainder of the deferred benefit costs are expected to be recovered through utility rates, primarily over average service periods of participating employees, or up to approximately 12 years.

Deferred losses or gains on interest rate derivatives represent (i) the effective portions of changes in fair value and payments made or received upon settlement of certain interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges and (ii) the changes in fair value and payments made or received upon settlement of certain other interest rate derivatives not so designated. The amounts recorded with respect to (i) are expected to be amortized to interest expense over the lives of the underlying debt through 2043. The amounts recorded with respect to (ii) are expected to be similarly amortized to interest expense through 2065 except when, in the case of deferred gains, such amounts are applied otherwise at the direction of the SCPSC.

Unrecovered plant represents the carrying value of coal-fired generating units, including related materials and supplies inventory, retired from service prior to being fully depreciated. Pursuant to SCPSC approval, SCE&G will amortize these amounts through cost of service rates over the units' previous estimated remaining useful lives through approximately 2025. Unamortized amounts are included in rate base and are earning a current return.

DSM Programs represent SCE&G's deferred costs associated with such programs, and such deferred costs are currently being recovered over approximately five years through an approved rate rider. 

21

Various other regulatory assets are expected to be recovered in rates over periods of up to approximately 30 years.

Asset removal costs represent estimated net collections through depreciation rates of amounts to be incurred for the removal of assets in the future.

The SCPSC, the NCUC or the FERC has reviewed and approved through specific orders most of the items shown as regulatory assets. Other regulatory assets include, but are not limited to, certain costs which have not been specifically approved for recovery by the SCPSC, the NCUC or by the FERC. In recording such costs as regulatory assets, management believes the costs will be allowable under existing rate-making concepts that are embodied in rate orders. The costs are currently not being recovered, but are expected to be recovered through rates in future periods. In the future, as a result of deregulation or other changes in the regulatory environment or changes in accounting requirements, the Company or Consolidated SCE&G could be required to write off its regulatory assets and liabilities. Such an event could have a material effect on the Company's and Consolidated SCE&G's financial statements in the period the write-off would be recorded.

3.COMMON EQUITY

SCANA had 200 million shares of common stock authorized as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Gains and losses on cash flow hedges reclassified from AOCI during the six months ended June 30, 2016 resulted in higher interest expense of $4 million and higher cost of gas purchased for resale of $6 million. Such reclassifications during the comparable period in 2015 resulted in higher interest expense of $4 million and higher cost of gas purchased for resale of $9 million.

Authorized shares of SCE&G common stock were 50 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Authorized shares of SCE&G preferred stock were 20 million, of which 1,000 shares, no par value, were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. All issued and outstanding shares of SCE&G's common and preferred stock are held by SCANA.

4.     LONG-TERM DEBT AND LIQUIDITY

Long-term Debt

In June 2016, SCE&G issued $425 million of 4.1% first mortgage bonds due June 15, 2046. In addition, SCE&G issued $75 million of 4.5% first mortgage bonds due June 1, 2064, which constituted a reopening of $300 million of 4.5% first mortgage bonds issued in May 2014. Proceeds from these sales were used to repay short-term debt primarily incurred as a result of SCE&G’s construction program, to finance capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

In June 2016, PSNC Energy issued $100 million of 4.13% senior notes due June 22, 2046. Proceeds from this sale were used to repay short-term debt, to finance capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

Substantially all electric utility plant is pledged as collateral in connection with long-term debt.

Liquidity

Credit agreements are used for general corporate purposes, including liquidity support for each company's commercial paper program and working capital needs and, in the case of Fuel Company, to finance or refinance the purchase of nuclear fuel, certain fossil fuels, and emission and other environmental allowances. Committed long-term facilities are revolving lines of credit under credit agreements with a syndicate of banks. Committed LOC, outstanding LOC advances, commercial paper, and LOC-supported letter of credit obligations were as follows:

Each of the Company and Consolidated SCE&G is obligated with respect to an aggregate of $67.8 million of industrial revenue bonds which are secured by letters of credit issued by TD Bank N.A. These letters of credit expire, subject to renewal, in the fourth quarter of 2019.

    Consolidated SCE&G participates in a utility money pool with SCANA and another regulated subsidiary of SCANA. Money pool borrowings and investments bear interest at short-term market rates. Consolidated SCE&G’s interest income and expense from money pool transactions were not significant for any period presented. At June 30, 2016, Consolidated SCE&G had outstanding money pool borrowings due to an affiliate of $44.4 million. At December 31, 2015, Consolidated SCE&G had outstanding money pool borrowings due to an affiliate of $33.0 million and money pool investments due from an affiliate of $9.0 million. On its balance sheet, Consolidated SCE&G includes amounts due from an affiliate within Receivables-affiliated companies and amounts due to an affiliate within Affiliated payables.

5. INCOME TAXES

Consolidated SCE&G is included in the consolidated federal income tax returns of SCANA and files various applicable state and local income tax returns.

During 2013 and 2014, SCANA amended certain of its tax returns to claim certain tax-defined research and development deductions and credits and to reflect related impacts on domestic production activities deductions. SCANA also made similar claims in filing its 2013 and 2014 returns in 2014 and 2015, respectively. In connection with these federal and state filings, the Company and Consolidated SCE&G recorded an unrecognized tax benefit of $49 million. If recognized, $17 million of the tax benefit would affect the Company’s and Consolidated SCE&G's effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that these tax benefits will increase by an additional $7 million within the next 12 months. It is also reasonably possible that these tax benefits may decrease by $8 million within the next 12 months. No other material changes in the status of the Company’s or Consolidated SCE&G's tax positions have occurred through June 30, 2016.

23

The Company and Consolidated SCE&G recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits within interest expense or interest income and recognize tax penalties within other expenses.  Amounts recorded for such interest income, interest expense or tax penalties have not been material.

On August 2, 2016, the State of North Carolina announced that it would lower its corporate income tax rate from 4% to 3% effective January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect this reduction to have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Derivative instruments are recognized either as assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and are measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recognized either in earnings, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) or, for regulated operations, within regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities, depending upon the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. 

Policies and procedures and risk limits are established to control the level of market, credit, liquidity and operational and administrative risks.  SCANA’s Board of Directors has delegated to a Risk Management Committee the authority to set risk limits, establish policies and procedures for risk management and measurement, and oversee and review the risk management process and infrastructure for SCANA and each of its subsidiaries.  The Risk Management Committee, which is comprised of certain officers, including the Risk Management Officer and other senior officers, apprises the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors with regard to the management of risk and brings to their attention significant areas of concern. Written policies define the physical and financial transactions that are approved, as well as the authorization requirements and limits for transactions.

Commodity Derivatives

The Company uses derivative instruments to hedge forward purchases and sales of natural gas, which create market risks of different types.  Instruments designated as cash flow hedges are used to hedge risks associated with fixed price obligations in a volatile market and risks associated with price differentials at different delivery locations. Instruments designated as fair value hedges are used to mitigate exposure to fluctuating market prices created by fixed prices of stored natural gas.  The basic types of financial instruments utilized are exchange-traded instruments, such as NYMEX futures contracts or options, and over-the-counter instruments such as options and swaps, which are typically offered by energy companies and financial institutions.  Cash settlements of commodity derivatives are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

PSNC Energy hedges natural gas purchasing activities using over-the-counter options and NYMEX futures and options.  PSNC Energy’s tariffs include a provision for the recovery of actual gas costs incurred, including any costs of hedging.  PSNC Energy records premiums, transaction fees, margin requirements and any realized gains or losses from its hedging program in deferred accounts as a regulatory asset or liability for the under- or over-recovery of gas costs.  These derivative financial instruments are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Unrealized gains and losses on qualifying cash flow hedges of nonregulated operations are deferred in AOCI.  When the hedged transactions affect earnings, previously recorded gains and losses are reclassified from AOCI to cost of gas.  The effects of gains or losses resulting from these hedging activities are either offset by the recording of the related hedged transactions or are included in gas sales pricing decisions made by the business unit.

As an accommodation to certain customers, SEMI, as part of its energy management services, offers fixed price supply contracts which are accounted for as derivatives.  These sales contracts are offset by the purchase of supply futures and swaps which are also accounted for as derivatives. Neither the sales contracts nor the related supply futures and swaps are designated as hedges for accounting purposes.

Interest Rate Swaps

Interest rate swaps may be used to manage interest rate risk and exposure to changes in fair value attributable to changes in interest rates on certain debt issuances.  In cases in which swaps designated as cash flow hedges are used to synthetically convert variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, periodic payments to or receipts from swap counterparties related to these derivatives are recorded within interest expense.

24

Forward starting swap agreements that are designated as cash flow hedges may be used in anticipation of the issuance of debt.  Except as described in the following paragraph, the effective portions of changes in fair value and payments made or received upon termination of such agreements for regulated subsidiaries are recorded in regulatory assets or regulatory liabilities. For SCANA and the nonregulated subsidiaries, such amounts are recorded in AOCI. Such amounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt. Ineffective portions of fair value changes are recognized in income.

Pursuant to regulatory orders, interest rate derivatives entered into by SCE&G after October 2013 are not designated as cash flow hedges and fair value changes and settlement amounts related to them are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities. Settlement losses on swaps will be amortized over the lives of subsequent debt issuances and gains may be applied to under-collected fuel, may be amortized to interest expense or may be applied as otherwise directed by the SCPSC.

Cash payments made or received upon termination of these financial instruments are classified as investing activities for cash flow statement purposes.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company expects that during the next 12 months reclassifications from AOCI to earnings arising from cash flow hedges will include approximately $3.0 million as a decrease to gas cost, assuming natural gas markets remain at their current levels, and approximately $7.3 million as an increase to interest expense.  As of June 30, 2016, all of the Company’s commodity cash flow hedges settle by their terms before the end of the first quarter of 2019.

As of June 30, 2016, each of the Company and Consolidated SCE&G expects that during the next 12 months reclassifications from regulatory accounts to earnings arising from cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments will include approximately $2.1 million as an increase to interest expense.

Hedge Ineffectiveness

For the Company and Consolidated SCE&G, ineffectiveness on interest rate hedges designated as cash flow hedges was insignificant during all periods presented.

Derivatives not designated as Hedging Instruments
The Company and Consolidated SCE&G:

As of June 30, 2016, each of the Company and Consolidated SCE&G expects that during the next 12 months reclassifications from regulatory accounts to earnings arising from derivatives not designated as hedges will include $2.3 million as an increase to interest expense.

Credit Risk Considerations

Certain derivative contracts contain contingent credit features. These features may include (i) material adverse change clauses or payment acceleration clauses that could result in immediate payments or (ii) the posting of letters of credit or termination of the derivative contract before maturity if specific events occur, such as a credit rating downgrade below investment grade or failure to post collateral.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS, INCLUDING DERIVATIVES

The Company values available for sale securities using quoted prices from a national stock exchange, such as the NASDAQ, where the securities are actively traded. For commodity derivative and energy management assets and liabilities, the Company uses unadjusted NYMEX prices to determine fair value, and considers such measures of fair value to be Level 1 for exchange traded instruments and Level 2 for over-the-counter instruments. The Company’s and Consolidated SCE&G's interest rate swap agreements are valued using discounted cash flow models with independently sourced data. Fair value measurements, and the level within the fair value hierarchyin which the measurements fall, were as follows:

30

	As of June 30, 2016						As of December 31, 2015
	The Company				Consolidated SCE&G		The Company				Consolidated SCE&G
Millions of dollars	Level 1		Level 2		Level 2		Level 1		Level 2		Level 2

Commodity contracts	—		—		—		1		4		—
Energy management contracts	—		11		—		4		12		—

The Company had no Level 3 fair value measurements for either period presented, and there were no transfers of fair value amounts into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented. Consolidated SCE&G had no Level 1 or Level 3 fair value measurements for either period presented, and there were no transfers of fair value amounts into or out of Levels 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented.

Financial instruments for which the carrying amount may not equal estimated fair value were as follows:

Long-Term Debt	June 30, 2016				December 31, 2015
Millions of dollars	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
The Company	$	6,584.4	$	7,633.0	$	5,997.6	$	6,445.7
Consolidated SCE&G	$	5,260.4	$	6,127.6	$	4,769.0	$	5,129.1

Fair values of long-term debt instruments are based on net present value calculations using independently sourced market data that incorporate a developed discount rate using similarly rated long-term debt, along with benchmark interest rates.  As such, the aggregate fair values presented above are considered to be Level 2. Early settlement of long-term debt may not be possible or may not be considered prudent.

Carrying values of short-term borrowings approximate fair value, and are based on quoted prices from dealers in the commercial paper market. The resulting fair value is considered to be Level 2.

8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Components of net periodic benefit cost recorded by the Company and Consolidated SCE&G were as follows:

No significant contribution to the pension trust is expected for the foreseeable future, nor is a limitation on benefit payments expected to apply. SCE&G recovers current pension costs through either a rate rider that may be adjusted annually for retail electric operations or through cost of service rates for gas operations.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Nuclear Insurance

Under Price-Anderson, SCE&G (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper, a one-third owner of Summer Station Unit 1) maintains agreements of indemnity with the NRC that, together with private insurance, cover third-party liability arising from any nuclear incident occurring at SCE&G's nuclear power plant. Price-Anderson provides funds up to $13.4 billion for public liability claims that could arise from a single nuclear incident. Each nuclear plant is insured against this liability to a maximum of $375 million by ANI with the remaining coverage provided by a mandatory program of deferred premiums that could be assessed, after a nuclear incident, against all owners of commercial nuclear reactors. Each reactor licensee is currently liable for up to $127.3 million per reactor owned for each nuclear incident occurring at any reactor in the United States, provided that not more than $18.9 million of the liability per reactor would be assessed per year. SCE&G’s maximum assessment, based on its two-thirds ownership of Summer Station Unit 1, would be $84.8 million per incident, but not more than $12.6 million per year. Both the maximum assessment per reactor and the maximum yearly assessment are adjusted for inflation at least every five years.

SCE&G currently maintains insurance policies (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper) with NEIL. The policies provide coverage to Summer Station Unit 1 for property damage and outage costs up to $2.75 billion resulting from an event of nuclear origin and up to $2.33 billion resulting from an event of a non-nuclear origin. In addition, a builder's risk insurance policy has been purchased from NEIL for the construction of the New Units. This policy provides the owners of the New Units up to $500 million of total coverage for accidental property damage occurring during construction. The NEIL policies, in the aggregate, are subject to a maximum loss of $2.75 billion for any single loss occurrence. All of the NEIL policies permit retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer’s losses. Based on the current annual premium, SCE&G’s portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $45.8 million. SCE&G currently maintains an excess

32

property insurance policy (for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper) with EMANI. The policy provides coverage to Summer Station Unit 1 for property damage and outage costs up to $415 million resulting from an event of a non-nuclear origin. The EMANI policy permits retrospective assessments under certain conditions to cover insurer's losses. Based on the current annual premium, SCE&G's portion of the retrospective premium assessment would not exceed $1.8 million.

To the extent that insurable claims for property damage, decontamination, repair and replacement and other costs and expenses arising from an incident at Summer Station Unit 1 exceed the policy limits of insurance, or to the extent such insurance becomes unavailable in the future, and to the extent that SCE&G's rates would not recover the cost of any purchased replacement power, SCE&G will retain the risk of loss as a self-insurer. SCE&G has no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear or other incident. However, if such an incident were to occur, it likely would have a material impact on the Company’s and Consolidated SCE&G's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

New Nuclear Construction

In 2008, SCE&G, on behalf of itself and as agent for Santee Cooper, contracted with the Consortium for the design and construction of the New Units at the site of Summer Station. SCE&G's current ownership share in the New Units is 55%. As discussed below, SCE&G has agreed to acquire an additional 5% ownership in the New Units from Santee Cooper.

EPC Contract and BLRA Matters

The construction of the New Units and SCE&G’s related recovery of financing costs through rates is subject to review and approval by the SCPSC as provided for in the BLRA. Under the BLRA, the SCPSC has approved, among other things, a milestone schedule and a capital costs estimates schedule for the New Units. This approval constitutes a final and binding determination that the New Units are used and useful for utility purposes, and that the capital costs associated with the New Units are prudent utility costs and expenses and are properly included in rates, so long as the New Units are constructed or are being constructed within the parameters of the approved milestone schedule, including specified contingencies, and the approved capital costs estimates schedule. Subject to the same conditions, the BLRA provides that SCE&G may apply to the SCPSC annually for an order to recover through revised rates SCE&G’s weighted average cost of capital applied to all or part of the outstanding balance of construction work in progress concerning the New Units. As of June 30, 2016, SCE&G’s investment in the New Units, including related transmission, totaled $3.9 billion, for which the financing costs on $3.2 billion have been reflected in rates under the BLRA.

The SCPSC granted initial approval of the construction schedule and related forecasted capital costs in 2009. The NRC issued COLs in March 2012. In November 2012, the SCPSC approved an updated milestone schedule and additional updated capital costs for the New Units. In addition, the SCPSC approved revised substantial completion dates for the New Units based on that March 2012 issuance of the COL and the amounts agreed upon by SCE&G and the Consortium in July 2012 to resolve known claims by the Consortium for costs related to COL delays, design modifications of the shield building and certain prefabricated structural modules for the New Units and unanticipated rock conditions at the site. In October 2014, the South Carolina Supreme Court affirmed the SCPSC's order on appeal.

Since the settlement of delay-related claims in 2012, the Consortium has continued to experience delays in the schedule. Shield building construction remains a principal focus area for SCE&G’s oversight of the project. The primary critical path for Unit 2 runs through the completion of shield building construction. For Unit 3, the primary critical path runs through the completion of CA20 sub-assembly 1 and 2 and the setting of CA20 in the auxiliary building. WEC has reached agreement on a mitigation plan to accelerate shield building panel fabrication with one of its subcontractors. Additional mitigation will be required in critical path areas to support the updated substantial completion dates described below.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Consortium began a full re-baselining of the Unit 2 and Unit 3 construction schedules to incorporate a more detailed evaluation of the engineering and procurement activities necessary to accomplish the schedules and to provide a detailed reassessment of the impact of the revised Unit 2 and Unit 3 schedules on engineering and design resource allocations, procurement, construction work crew efficiencies and other items. The result was a revised fully integrated project schedule with timing of specific construction activities (Revised, Fully-Integrated Construction Schedule) along with related cost information.

The Revised, Fully-Integrated Construction Schedule initially indicated that the substantial completion of Unit 2 was expected to occur in June 2019 and that the substantial completion of Unit 3 was expected to be approximately 12 months later. However, the Consortium continued to refine and update the Revised, Fully-Integrated Construction Schedule as certain designs were finalized, as construction progressed, and as additional information was received. See discussion of October 2015 Amendment below.

33

In September 2015, the SCPSC approved an updated BLRA milestone schedule based on revised substantial completion dates for Units 2 and 3 of June 2019 and June 2020, respectively, each subject to an 18-month contingency period. In addition, the SCPSC approved certain updated owner's costs ($245 million) and other capital costs ($453 million), of which $539 million were associated with the schedule delays and other contested costs. In this proceeding, SCE&G's total projected capital costs (in 2007 dollars) and estimated gross construction cost (including escalation and AFC) were estimated to be $5.2 billion and $6.8 billion, respectively. These projections included cost amounts related to the Revised, Fully-Integrated Construction Schedule for which SCE&G had not accepted responsibility and which were the subject of dispute. As such, the updated milestone schedule and projections did not reflect the resolution of negotiations. In addition, the SCPSC approved a revision to the allowed return on equity for new nuclear construction from 11.0% to 10.5%. This revised return on equity is being applied prospectively for the purpose of calculating revised rates sought by SCE&G under the BLRA on and after January 1, 2016, until such time as the New Units are completed.

October 2015 Amendment

On October 27, 2015, SCE&G, Santee Cooper and the Consortium reached a settlement regarding the above mentioned disputes, and the EPC Contract was amended. The October 2015 Amendment became effective in December 2015, upon the consummation of the acquisition by WEC of the stock of Stone & Webster from CB&I. Following that acquisition, Stone & Webster continues to be a member of the Consortium as a subsidiary of WEC rather than CB&I, and WEC has engaged Fluor Corporation as a subcontracted construction manager.

Among other things, the October 2015 Amendment:

(i) resolved by settlement and release most outstanding disputes between SCE&G and the Consortium, in exchange for (a) an additional cost to be paid by SCE&G and Santee Cooper of $300 million (SCE&G’s 55% portion being $165 million) and an increase in the fixed component of the contract price by that amount, and (b) a credit to SCE&G and Santee Cooper of $50 million (SCE&G’s 55% portion being approximately $27 million) to be applied to the target component of the contract price,

(ii) revised the guaranteed substantial completion dates of Units 2 and 3 to August 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively,

(iii) revised the delay-related liquidated damages computation requirements, including those related to the eligibility of the New Units to earn Internal Revenue Code Section 45J production tax credits (see also below), and capped those aggregate liquidated damages at $463 million per New Unit (SCE&G’s 55% portion being approximately $255 million per New Unit),

(iv) provides for payment to the Consortium of a completion bonus of $275 million per New Unit (SCE&G’s 55% portion being approximately $151 million per New Unit) for each New Unit placed in service by the deadline to qualify for production tax credits,

(v) provides for development of a revised construction milestone payment schedule, with SCE&G and Santee Cooper making monthly payments of $100 million (SCE&G’s 55% portion being $55 million) for each of the first five months following effectiveness, followed by payments made based on milestones achieved,

(vi) provided that SCE&G and Santee Cooper waive and cancel the CB&I parent company guaranty with respect to the project,

(vii) provided for an explicit definition of Change in Law designed to reduce the likelihood of certain future commercial disputes, with the Consortium also acknowledging and agreeing that the project scope includes providing New Units that meet the standards of the NRC approved Design Control Document Revision 19,

(viii) established a DRB process for certain commercial claims and disputes, and

(ix) eliminated the requirement or ability of any party to bring suit regarding disputes before substantial completion of the project.

The DRB is comprised of three members chosen by the parties to resolve construction-related claims.  Amounts in dispute of less than $5 million will be resolved by the DRB without recourse, and amounts in dispute greater than $5 million will be resolved by the DRB for the remainder of the construction of the New Units, with a reserved right to litigate such issues in court at the conclusion of construction.

Under the October 2015 Amendment, SCE&G’s total estimated project costs increased over the $6.8 billion approved by the SCPSC in September 2015. In addition, SCE&G has updated project costs for estimated change orders related to certain

34

outstanding disputes not resolved by the October 2015 Amendment. As a result, the estimated gross construction cost of the project (including the effects of these change orders, escalation and AFC) totals approximately $7.2 billion.

The October 2015 Amendment also provided SCE&G and Santee Cooper an irrevocable option, until November 1, 2016 and subject to regulatory approvals, to further amend the EPC Contract to fix the total amount to be paid to the Consortium for its entire scope of work on the project (excluding a limited amount of work within the time and materials component of the contract price) after June 30, 2015 at $6.082 billion (SCE&G’s 55% portion being approximately $3.345 billion). This total amount to be paid would be subject to adjustment for amounts paid since June 30, 2015. Under the fixed price option, the aggregate delay-related liquidated damages referred to in (iii) above would be capped at $338 million per New Unit (SCE&G’s 55% portion being approximately $186 million per New Unit), and the completion bonus referred to in (iv) above would be $150 million per New Unit (SCE&G’s 55% portion being approximately $83 million per New Unit).

On May 26, 2016, SCE&G petitioned the SCPSC seeking approval to update the capital cost schedule and construction milestone schedule for the New Units consistent with the October 2015 Amendment. Within this petition, SCE&G also informed the SCPSC that it had notified WEC of its intent to elect the fixed price option, subject to concurrence by Santee Cooper and approval by the SCPSC. The petition reflects an increase in total project costs of approximately $852 million over the cost approved by the SCPSC in September 2015, of which approximately $505 million is directly attributable to the fixed price option. The project's estimated gross construction cost is now estimated to be approximately $7.7 billion, including owner’s costs, transmission, escalation and AFC. On June 30, 2016, Santee Cooper's board of directors approved a resolution authorizing the execution of a limited agency agreement pursuant to which SCE&G, for itself and on behalf of Santee Cooper, would elect the fixed price option on its behalf. SCE&G then executed the fixed price option on July 1, 2016, subject to SCPSC approval. A public hearing on this matter is scheduled to begin on October 4, 2016, and the SCPSC is expected to issue its order in November 2016.

On July 1, 2016, SCE&G amended the May 26, 2016 petition by withdrawing its request to adjust its transmission capital costs forecast in the amount of $4.3 million and revising its proposed capital cost schedule accordingly (along with the associated escalation and AFC). This revision was made while SCE&G evaluates alternatives to installing additional capacitors in Summer Station's existing Unit 1 switchyard.

The October 2015 Amendment provided that the parties would agree upon a construction milestone payment schedule within five months of the execution of the October 2015 Amendment or submit the issue to the DRB.  The parties agreed to two one-month extensions for discussion of the schedule through July 2016.  The parties were unable to reach an agreement on a schedule in that time period, and the owners referred the matter to the DRB on August 1, 2016.  Unless the parties agree otherwise, the DRB has 60 days from the referral to establish a schedule. The parties may continue discussions during this period. The dispute relates only to the timing of payments; the total amount to be paid is not in dispute.

As of June 30, 2016, payments related to (i) above had been made totaling $125 million (SCE&G's 55% portion being approximately $68.75 million). Also as of June 30, 2016, payments related to (v) above had been made totaling $600 million (SCE&G's 55% portion being $330 million), which included payments of $100 million per month (SCE&G's portion being $55 million) being made during the initial five-month period described above, as required under the contract, and an equal monthly payment agreed upon by the parties for the first one-month extension described above. Since June 30, 2016, there has been one additional payment of $130 million for the second one-month extension (SCE&G’s 55% portion being $71.5 million) made by agreement of the parties in lieu of all other contractually-required payments related to (v) above. The contract provides that for the 60-day period during which the DRB is reviewing the matter, the owners shall pay $100 million per month (SCE&G’s 55% portion being $55 million) in lieu of all other payments related to (v) above.

Payment and Performance Obligations

Payment and performance obligations under the EPC Contract are joint and several obligations of WEC and Stone & Webster, and in connection with the October 2015 Amendment, Toshiba Corporation, WEC’s parent company, reaffirmed its guaranty of WEC’s payment obligations. Additionally, the EPC Contract provides the Owners the right, exercisable upon certain conditions, to obtain payment and performance bonds from WEC equal to 15%of the highest three months billings during the applicable year, and their aggregate nominal coverage will not exceed $100 million (or $55 millionfor SCE&G's 55% share). SCE&G and Santee Cooper are responsible for the cost of the bonds.

In late 2015, Toshiba's credit ratings declined to below investment grade following disclosures regarding its operating and financial performance and near-term liquidity. As a result, pursuant to the above-described terms of the EPC Contract, SCE&G has obtained payment and performance bonds from WEC in the form of standby letters of credit totaling $45 million(or approximately $25 millionfor SCE&G's 55% share). These standby letters of credit expire annually and automatically

35

renew for successive one-year periods until their final expiration date of August 31, 2020, unless the issuer provides a minimum 60-day notice that it will not renew. In the event that WEC would be unable to meet its payment and performance obligations under the EPC Contract, it is anticipated this funding would provide a source of liquidity to assist in an orderly transition and in enabling construction activities to continue. In addition, the EPC Contract provides that upon the request of SCE&G, the Consortium must escrow certain intellectual property and software for SCE&G's benefit to enable completion of the New Units. An escrow arrangement and a schedule for deposit of intellectual property and software are being developed. While there have been no indications to date that WEC will not meet its obligations under the EPC Contract, SCE&G cannot predict the outcome of these matters, and continues to monitor developments for potential impacts to both the construction schedule and costs.

Additional claims by the Consortium or SCE&G involving the project schedule and budget may arise as the project continues. The parties to the EPC Contract have established both informal and formal dispute resolution procedures in order to resolve such issues. SCE&G expects to resolve all disputes through both the informal and formal procedures and currently anticipates that any project costs that arise through such dispute resolution processes (including those reflected in the October 2015 Amendment described above), as well as other project costs identified from time to time, will be recoverable through rates.

Santee Cooper Matters

As noted above, SCE&G has agreed to acquire an additional 5% ownership in the New Units from Santee Cooper. Under the terms of this agreement, SCE&G will acquire a 1% ownership interest in the New Units at the commercial operation date of Unit 2, an additional 2% ownership interest no later than the first anniversary of such commercial operation date, and the final 2% no later than the second anniversary of such commercial operation date. SCE&G has agreed to pay an amount equal to Santee Cooper's actual cost, including its cost of financing, of the percentage conveyed as of the date of each conveyance. In addition, the agreement provides that Santee Cooper will not transfer any of its remaining interest in the New Units to third parties until the New Units are complete. This transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. This transaction will not affect the payment obligations between the parties during construction for the New Units, nor is it anticipated that the payments for the additional ownership interest would be reflected in a revised rates filing under the BLRA. Based on the October 2015 Amendment, which has not been approved by the SCPSC, SCE&G’s current projected cost would be approximately $750 million to $850 million for the additional 5% interest being acquired from Santee Cooper. This range covers the projected cost whether the fixed price option is approved or not.

Nuclear Production Tax Credits

The IRS has notified SCE&G that, subject to a national megawatt capacity limitation, the electricity to be produced by each of the New Units (advanced nuclear units, as defined) would qualify for nuclear production tax credits under Section 45J of the Internal Revenue Code to the extent that such New Unit is operational before January 1, 2021 and other eligibility requirements are met. These nuclear production tax credits (related to SCE&G's 55% share of both New Units) could total as much as approximately $1.4 billion. Such credits would be earned over the first eight years of each New Unit's operations and would be realized by SCE&G over those years or during allowable carry-forward periods. Based on the guaranteed substantial completion dates provided above, both New Units are expected to be operational and to qualify for the nuclear production tax credits; however, further delays in the schedule or changes in tax law could impact such conclusions. When and to the extent that production tax credits are realized, their benefits are expected to be provided directly to SCE&G's electric customers.

Other Project Matters

When the NRC issued the COLs for the New Units, two of the conditions that it imposed were requiring inspection and testing of certain components of the New Units' passive cooling system, and requiring the development of strategies to respond to extreme natural events resulting in the loss of power at the New Units. In addition, the NRC directed the Office of New Reactors to issue to SCE&G an order requiring enhanced, reliable spent fuel pool instrumentation. SCE&G prepared and submitted an overall integration plan for the New Units to the NRC in August 2013. That plan is currently under review by the NRC and SCE&G does not anticipate any additional regulatory actions as a result of that review, but it cannot predict future regulatory activities or how such initiatives would impact construction or operation of the New Units.

Environmental

On August 3, 2015, the EPA issued its final rule on emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to address GHG emissions from existing units. The rule includes state-specific goals for reducing national carbon dioxide emissions by 32% from 2005 levels by 2030. The rule also provides for nuclear reactors under construction, such as the New Units, to count towards compliance and establishes a phased-in compliance approach beginning in 2022. The rule gives each

36

state from one to three years to issue SIPs, which will ultimately define the specific compliance methodology that will be applied to existing units in that state. On February 9, 2016, the Supreme Court stayed the rule pending disposition of a petition of review of the rule in the Court of Appeals. The order of the Supreme Court has no immediate impact on SCE&G and GENCO or their generation operations. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G are currently evaluating the rule and expect any costs incurred to comply with such rule to be recoverable through rates.

In July 2011, the EPA issued the CSAPR to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide from power plants in the eastern half of the United States. A series of court actions stayed this rule until October 23, 2014, when the Court of Appeals granted a motion to lift the stay. On December 3, 2014, the EPA published an interim final rule that aligns the dates in the CSAPR text with the revised court-ordered schedule, which delayed the implementation dates to 2015 for Phase 1 and to 2017 for Phase 2. The CSAPR replaces the CAIR and requires a total of 28 states to reduce annual sulfur dioxide emissions and annual and ozone season nitrogen oxide emissions to assist in attaining the ozone and fine particle NAAQS. The rule establishes an emissions cap for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide and limits the trading for emission allowances by separating affected states into two groups with no trading between the groups. On July 28, 2015, the Court of Appeals held that Phase 2 emissions budgets for certain states, including South Carolina, required reductions in emissions beyond the point necessary to achieve downwind attainment and were, therefore, invalid. The Court of Appeals remanded CSAPR, without vacating the rule, to the EPA for further consideration. The opinion of the Court of Appeals has no immediate impact on SCE&G and GENCO or their generation operations. Air quality control installations that SCE&G and GENCO have already completed have positioned them to comply with the existing allowances set by the CSAPR. Any costs incurred to comply with CSAPR are expected to be recoverable through rates.

In April 2012, the EPA's MATS rule containing new standards for mercury and other specified air pollutants became effective. On November 19, 2014, the EPA finalized its reconsideration of certain provisions applicable during startup and shutdown of generating facilities under the MATS rule. SCE&G and GENCO were granted a one year extension (through April 2016) to comply with MATS at Cope, McMeekin, Wateree and Williams Stations. These extensions allowed time to convert McMeekin Station to burn natural gas and to install additional pollution control devices at the other plants to enhance the control of certain MATS-regulated pollutants. In addition, SCE&G retired certain other coal-fired units during this time frame. The MATS rule has been the subject of ongoing litigation even while it remains in effect. Rulings on this litigation are not expected to have an impact on SCE&G or GENCO due to these retirements, conversions, and enhancements. SCE&G and GENCO currently are in compliance with the MATS rule and expect to remain in compliance.

The CWA provides for the imposition of effluent limitations that require treatment for wastewater discharges. Under the CWA, compliance with applicable limitations is achieved under state-issued NPDES permits. As a facility’s NPDES permit is renewed (every five years), any new effluent limitations would be incorporated. The ELG Rule became effective on January 4, 2016. After this date, state regulators will modify facility NPDES permits to match more restrictive standards, thus requiring facilities to retrofit with new wastewater treatment technologies. Compliance dates will vary by type of wastewater, and some will be based on a facility's five year permit cycle and thus may range from 2018 to 2023. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G expect that wastewater treatment technology retrofits will be required at Williams and Wateree Stations and may be required at other facilities. Any costs incurred to comply with the ELG Rule are expected to be recoverable through rates.

The CWA Section 316(b) Existing Facilities Rule became effective in October 2014. This rule establishes national requirements for the location, design, construction and capacity of cooling water intake structures at existing facilities that reflect the best technology available for minimizing the adverse environmental impacts of impingement and entrainment. SCE&G and GENCO are conducting studies and implementing plans as required by the rule to determine appropriate intake structure modifications to ensure compliance with this rule. Any costs incurred to comply with this rule are expected to be recoverable through rates.

The EPA's final rule for CCR became effective in the fourth quarter of 2015. This rule regulates CCR as a non-hazardous waste under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and imposes certain requirements on ash storage ponds and other CCR management facilities at SCE&G's and GENCO's coal-fired generating facilities. SCE&G and GENCO have already closed or have begun the process of closure of all of their ash storage ponds and have previously recognized AROs for such ash storage ponds under existing requirements. The Company and Consolidated SCE&G do not expect the incremental compliance costs associated with this rule to be significant and expect to recover such costs in future rates.

The Nuclear Waste Act required that the United States government accept and permanently dispose of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel by January 31, 1998, and it imposed on utilities the primary responsibility for storage of their spent nuclear fuel until the repository is available. SCE&G entered into a Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste with the DOE in 1983. As of December 31, 2015, the federal government

37

has not accepted any spent fuel from Summer Station Unit 1, and it remains unclear when the repository may become available. SCE&G has constructed an independent spent fuel storage installation to accommodate the spent nuclear fuel output for the life of Summer Station Unit 1. SCE&G may evaluate other technology as it becomes available.

SCE&G is responsible for four decommissioned MGP sites in South Carolina which contain residues of by-product chemicals. These sites are in various stages of investigation, remediation and monitoring under work plans approved by DHEC and the EPA. SCE&G anticipates that major remediation activities at all these sites will continue at least through 2017 and will cost an additional $18.2 million, which is accrued in Other within Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. SCE&G expects to recover any cost arising from the remediation of MGP sites through rates. At June 30, 2016, deferred amounts, net of amounts previously recovered through rates and insurance settlements, totaled $34.1 million and are included in regulatory assets.

10. SEGMENT OF BUSINESS INFORMATION

Regulated operations measure profitability using operating income; therefore, net income is not allocated to the Electric Operations and Gas Distribution segments. Marketing segments measure profitability using net income.

The Company's Gas Distribution segment is comprised of the local distribution operations of SCE&G and PSNC Energy which meet the criteria for aggregation. All Other includes the parent company, a services company and other nonreportable segments that were insignificant for all periods presented. In addition, All Other includes gains from the sales of CGT and SCI (see Dispositions in Note 1) and their operating results and assets prior to their sale in the first quarter of 2015. CGT and SCI were nonreportable segments during all periods presented. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, operating income and net income for All Other include $235 million and $202 million, respectively, related to the sales of CGT and SCI. External revenue and intersegment revenue for All Other related to CGT and SCI were not significant during either period presented.

11.    AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS

The Company and Consolidated SCE&G:

SCE&G owns 40% of Canadys Refined Coal, LLC, which is involved in the manufacturing and sale of refined coal to reduce emissions.

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

OF OPERATIONS

SCANA CORPORATION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

AS COMPARED TO THE CORRESPONDING PERIODS IN 2015

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in SCANA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share was as follows:

	Second Quarter				Year to Date
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Earnings per share	$	0.74	$	0.69	$	1.97	$	3.49

Second Quarter

Second quarter earnings per share increased primarily due to higher electric and gas distribution margins and lower depreciation expense. These increases were partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expenses, higher property taxes and higher interest cost, as further discussed below.

Year to Date

Year to date earnings per share decreased primarily due to the gains on the sales of CGT and SCI in the first quarter of 2015. Higher electric margins, lower depreciation expense and lower income taxes were offset by lower gas distribution margins, lower energy marketing net income, higher other operation and maintenance expenses, higher property taxes, lower other income and higher interest cost, as further discussed below.

The sales of CGT and SCI were closed in the first quarter of 2015. These subsidiaries operated principally in wholesale markets, whereas the Company's primary focus is the delivery of energy-related products and services to retail markets. Therefore, CGT and SCI were not a part of the Company's core business. See Note 10 to the combined notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.

Dividends Declared

SCANA’s Board of Directors has declared the following dividends on common stock during 2016:

Declaration Date	Dividend Per Share	Record Date	Payment Date
February 18, 2016	$0.575	March 10, 2016	April 1, 2016
April 28, 2016	$0.575	June 10, 2016	July 1, 2016
July 28, 2016	$0.575	September 12, 2016	October 1, 2016

When a dividend payment date falls on a weekend or holiday, the payment is made the following business day.

Electric Operations

Electric Operations is comprised of the electric operations of SCE&G, GENCO and Fuel Company.  Electric operations operating income (including transactions with affiliates) was as follows:

41

	Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016		Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Operating revenues	$	627.4	(1.8	)%	$	638.9	$	1,220.1	(3.9	)%	$	1,269.2
Less:  Fuel used in electric generation	130.4		(20.2	)%	163.5		266.5		(21.2	)%	338.1
Purchased power	17.3		50.4	%	11.5		28.5		17.3	%	24.3
Margin	479.7		3.4	%	463.9		925.1		2.0	%	906.8
Other operation and maintenance	134.7		10.7	%	121.7		259.8		7.8	%	241.0
Depreciation and amortization	71.0		(7.1	)%	76.4		141.5		(7.1	)%	152.3
Other taxes	51.5		5.3	%	48.9		103.6		5.7	%	98.0
Operating Income	$	222.5	2.6	%	$	216.9	$	420.2	1.1	%	$	415.5

Electric operations can be significantly impacted by the effects of weather. SCE&G estimates the effects on its electric business of actual temperatures in its service territory as compared to historical averages to develop an estimate of electric margin revenue attributable to the effects of abnormal weather. Second quarter weather in SCE&G’s electric service territory was warmer than normal in both 2016 and 2015; however, the second quarter of 2015 was slightly warmer than the second quarter of 2016. In addition, year-to-date results reflect milder than normal weather in the first quarter of 2016 but colder than normal weather in the first quarter of 2015.

Second Quarter

• Margin increased due to base rate increases under the BLRA of $15.0 million, residential and commercial customer growth of $5.6 million and higher collections under SCE&G’s rate rider for pension costs of $3.7 million. The higher pension rider collections had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other operation and maintenance expenses, of higher pension costs. Margin also increased due to downward adjustments of $0.7 million in 2015, pursuant to orders of the SCPSC, related to SCE&G’s DSM Programs. These adjustments also had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other income, of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts. These margin increases were partially offset by $4.0 million due to the effects of milder weather and lower residential and commercial average use of $6.4 million.

• Other operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher labor costs of $7.9 million, primarily due to increased pension cost associated with the higher pension rider collections and higher incentive compensation costs.

• Depreciation and amortization decreased by $7.2 million due to the implementation of SCPSC-approved revised (lower) depreciation rates in the third quarter of 2015. This decrease in depreciation expense was partially offset by increases associated with net plant additions.

• Other taxes increased primarily due to higher property taxes associated with net plant additions.

Year to Date

• Margin increased due to base rate increases under the BLRA of $31.1 million, residential and commercial customer growth of $11.0 million and higher collections under SCE&G’s rate rider for pension costs of $3.7 million. The higher pension rider collections had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other operation and maintenance expenses, of higher pension costs. Margin also increased due to downward adjustments of $5.2 million in 2015, pursuant to orders of the SCPSC, related to SCE&G’s DSM Programs. These adjustments also had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other income, of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts. These increases were partially offset by $23.6 million due to the effects of milder weather and lower residential and commercial average use of $8.0 million.

• Other operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher labor costs of $13.9 million, primarily due to increased pension cost associated with the higher pension rider collections and higher incentive compensation costs, and the amortization of $1.3 million of DSM Programs cost.

• Depreciation and amortization decreased by $14.5 million due to the implementation of SCPSC-approved revised (lower) depreciation rates in the third quarter of 2015. This decrease in depreciation expense was partially offset by increases associated with net plant additions.

• Other taxes increased primarily due to higher property taxes associated with net plant additions.

42

Sales volumes (in GWh) related to the electric operations margin above, by class, were as follows:

	Second Quarter				Year to Date
Classification	2016	Change		2015	2016	Change		2015
Residential	1,876	(1.6	)%	1,907	3,802	(4.9	)%	3,999

Total Retail Sales	5,489	(1.2	)%	5,557	10,779	(1.7	)%	10,969
Wholesale	226	(4.6	)%	237	449	(7.0	)%	483
Total Sales	5,715	(1.4	)%	5,794	11,228	(2.0	)%	11,452

Second Quarter

Retail sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather, lower residential and commercial average use and lower industrial usage. These decreases were partially offset by residential and commercial customer growth.

Year to Date

Retail sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather and lower residential and commercial average use. These decreases were partially offset by residential and commercial customer growth and increased industrial usage. Wholesale sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather.

Gas Distribution

Gas Distribution is comprised of the local distribution operations of SCE&G and PSNC Energy.  Gas distribution operating income (including transactions with affiliates) was as follows:

	Second Quarter							Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016			Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Operating revenues	$	127.6		(2.2	)%	$	130.5	$	427.5	(14.3	)%	$	498.6
Less:  Gas purchased for resale	54.2			(8.4	)%	59.2		187.0		(29.2	)%	264.0
Margin	73.4			2.9	%	71.3		240.5		2.5	%	234.6
Other operation and maintenance	43.7			13.8	%	38.4		86.7		12.9	%	76.8
Depreciation and amortization	20.3			5.7	%	19.2		40.1		4.7	%	38.3
Other taxes	10.4			11.8	%	9.3		20.9		11.8	%	18.7
Operating Income (Loss)	$	(1.0	)	*		$	4.4	$	92.8	(7.9	)%	$	100.8
* Greater than 100%

The effect of abnormal weather conditions on gas distribution margin is mitigated by the WNA (at SCE&G) and the CUT (at PSNC Energy), as further described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in SCANA's Form 10-K for December 31, 2015. The WNA and the CUT affect margins but not sales volumes.

Second Quarter and Year to Date

• Margin increased primarily due to customer growth.

• Other operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher labor costs of $2.6 million for the quarter and $5.4 million for the year, primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs.

• Depreciation and amortization increased due to net plant additions, partially offset by the implementation of SCPSC-approved revised (lower) depreciation rates at SCE&G.

• Other taxes increased due to net plant additions.

43

Sales volumes (in MMBTU) related to gas distribution margin by class, including transportation, were as follows:

	Second Quarter				Year to Date
Classification (in thousands)	2016	Change		2015	2016	Change		2015
Residential	3,887	20.1	%	3,237	24,982	(9.9	)%	27,717
Commercial	5,297	7.8	%	4,912	16,387	(3.1	)%	16,904
Industrial	4,830	(5.4	)%	5,108	9,887	(3.4	)%	10,238
Transportation	11,101	(9.9	)%	12,323	21,918	(2.6	)%	22,492
Total	25,115	(1.8	)%	25,580	73,174	(5.4	)%	77,351

Second Quarter

Residential and commercial firm sales volumes increased primarily due to weather and customer growth. At SCE&G industrial volumes decreased and transportation volumes increased due to customers shifting to transportation only service. At PSNC Energy transportation volumes decreased primarily due to lower natural gas fired electric generation.

Year to Date

Residential and commercial firm sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather, partially offset by customer growth. Industrial sales volumes decreased and transportation volumes decreased primarily due to milder weather, partially offset by customers shifting to transportation only service at SCE&G.

Retail Gas Marketing

Retail Gas Marketing is comprised of SCANA Energy, which operates in Georgia’s natural gas market.  Retail Gas Marketing operating revenues and net income were as follows:

	Second Quarter								Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016			Change		2015			2016		Change		2015
Operating revenues	$	75.4		5.6	%	$	71.4		$	246.4	(10.8	)%	$	276.1
Net income (loss)	(2.1		)	(61.8	)%	(5.5		)	19.8		(7.9	)%	21.5

Second Quarter

Operating revenues increased and net loss declined due to increased sales demand.

Year to Date

Operating revenues and net income decreased primarily due to milder winter weather.

Energy Marketing

Energy Marketing is comprised of the Company’s non-regulated marketing operations, excluding SCANA Energy.  Energy Marketing operating revenues and net income were as follows:

	Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016		Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Operating revenues	$	102.9	(36.0	)%	$	160.7	$	235.3	(38.4	)%	$	382.1
Net income	1.6		(48.4	)%	3.1		4.1		(52.9	)%	8.7

Second Quarter

Revenues and net income decreased due to decreased sales volume. 

44

Year to Date

Revenues and net income decreased primarily due to milder weather.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses were as follows:

	Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016		Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Other operation and maintenance	$	190.8	10.5	%	$	172.7	$	371.3	7.6	%	$	345.2
Depreciation and amortization	92.0		(4.5	)%	96.3		182.9		(4.9	)%	192.3
Other taxes	62.4		6.3	%	58.7		125.5		6.4	%	118.0

Second Quarter

Changes in other operating expenses are addressed in the electric operations and gas distribution segments.

Year to Date

In addition to factors discussed in the electric operations and gas distribution segments, other operation and maintenance expenses decreased $2.2 million, depreciation and amortization decreased $0.7 million and other taxes decreased $0.5 million, all due to the sale of CGT in early 2015.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes the results of certain incidental non-utility activities of regulated subsidiaries, the activities of certain non-regulated subsidiaries and AFC. AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is capitalized. The Company includes an equity portion of AFC in nonoperating income and a debt portion of AFC in interest charges (credits) as noncash items, both of which have the effect of increasing reported net income. Components of other income and expense and AFC were as follows:

	Second Quarter								Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016			Change		2015			2016			Change		2015
Other income	$	14.3		(24.3	)%	$	18.9		$	30.1		(19.3	)%	$	37.3
Other expense	(10.0		)	(33.8	)%	(15.1		)	(23.8		)	(12.2	)%	(27.1		)
Gain on sale of SCI, net of transaction costs	—			—	%	—			—			(100.0	)%	106.9
AFC - equity funds	8.9			34.8	%	6.6			14.7			25.6	%	11.7

Second Quarter

Other income decreased primarily due to lower gains on the sale of land of $3.4 million and the recognition in 2015 of $0.7 million of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts previously recorded as regulatory liabilities pursuant to SCPSC orders previously discussed. Such gain recognition was fully offset by downward adjustments to revenues reflected within electric margin and had no effect on net income (see electric margin discussion). Other income and other expense decreased by $3.7 million for billings to DCGT for transition services provided at cost pursuant to the terms of the sale of CGT. Decreases in other income were partially offset by higher SCPSC-approved carrying costs on certain deferred amounts. AFC increased due to construction activity.

Year to Date

Other income decreased primarily due to lower gains on the sale of land of $3.2 million and the recognition in 2015 of $5.2 million of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts previously recorded as regulatory liabilities pursuant to SCPSC orders previously discussed. Such gain recognition was fully offset by downward adjustments to revenues

45

reflected within electric margin and had no effect on net income (see electric margin discussion). Other income and other expense decreased by $1.8 million for billings to DCGT for transition services provided at cost pursuant to the terms of the sale of CGT. Decreases in other income were partially offset by higher SCPSC-approved carrying costs on certain deferred amounts. Other income decreased by $3.9 million and other expense decreased by $2.3 million due to the sale of SCI. In 2015 other income also included the gain on the sale of SCI. AFC increased due to construction activity.

Interest Expense

     Interest charges increased primarily due to increased borrowings.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were similar to those recognized in the same period in 2015. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were lower than the same period in 2015 due primarily to the sales of CGT and SCI. The effective tax rate for 2015 was higher than the rate for 2016 due to discrete items related to those sales. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company anticipates that its cash obligations will be met through internally generated funds and additional short- and long-term borrowings. The Company expects that, barring a future impairment of the capital markets, it has or can obtain adequate sources of financing to meet its projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including the cash requirements for nuclear construction and refinancing maturing long-term debt. The Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six and 12 months ended June 30, 2016 was 3.31 and 3.21, respectively.

The Company is obligated with respect to an aggregate of $67.8 million of industrial revenue bonds which are secured by letters of credit issued by TD Bank N.A. The letters of credit expire, subject to renewal, in the fourth quarter of 2019.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had net available liquidity of approximately $1.4 billion, comprised of cash on hand and available amounts under lines of credit. The credit agreements total an aggregate of $2.0 billion, of which $200 million is scheduled to expire in December 2018 and the remainder is scheduled to expire in December 2020. The Company regularly monitors the commercial paper and short-term credit markets to optimize the timing of repayment of outstanding balances on its draws, if any, from the credit facilities. The Company’s long term debt portfolio has a weighted average maturity of approximately 21 years at a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.8%.  All of the long-term debt bears fixed interest rates or is swapped to fixed. To further preserve liquidity, the Company rigorously reviews its projected capital expenditures and operating costs and adjusts them where possible without impacting safety, reliability, and core customer service.

SCE&G has obtained FERC authority to issue short-term indebtedness and to assume liabilities as a guarantor(pursuant to Section 204 of the Federal Power Act). SCE&G may issue, with maturity dates of one year or less, unsecured promissory notes, commercial paper and direct loans in amounts not to exceed $1.6 billion outstanding and may enter into guaranty agreements in favor of lenders, banks, and dealers in commercial paper in amounts not to exceed $600 million. GENCO has obtained FERC authority to issue indebtedness with maturity dates of one year or less not to exceed $200 million outstanding. The authority described herein will expire in October 2016 and is expected to be renewed.

Cash provided from operating activities decreased primarily due to payments of income taxes in 2016, including certain amounts related to the gains on sales of CGT and SCI in 2015. Tax payments in 2015 were impacted by Congress' extension of bonus depreciation provisions late in 2014.

Cash flows from investing activities in 2016 were related to capital expenditures and funding of collateral deposit requirements with respect to interest rate swaps as interest rates declined. In 2015, similar investing cash outflows were more than offset by the receipt of proceeds from the sales of CGT and SCI.

Cash flows from financing activities in 2016 included normal dividend payments which were more than offset by increases in long-term debt and commercial paper balances. Similar financing activities in 2015 were offset by the use of the proceeds from the sales of CGT and SCI to reduce SCANA's long term debt and reduce Consolidated SCE&G's short term debt levels.

In June 2016, SCE&G issued $425 million of 4.1% first mortgage bonds due June 15, 2046. In addition, SCE&G issued $75 million of 4.5% first mortgage bonds due June 1, 2064, which constituted a reopening of $300 million of 4.5% first

46

mortgage bonds issued in May 2014. Proceeds from these sales were used to repay short-term debt primarily incurred as a result of SCE&G’s construction program, to finance capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

In June 2016, PSNC issued $100 million of 4.13% senior notes due June 22, 2046. Proceeds from this sale were used to repay short-term debt, to finance capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

SCE&G's current preliminary estimates of its capital expenditures for new nuclear construction (including transmission) for 2016 through 2018, which are subject to continuing review and adjustment, are $953 million in 2016, $1,341 million in 2017, and $980 million in 2018.

SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2016

AS COMPARED TO THE CORRESPONDING PERIODS IN 2015

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations appearing in SCE&G’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. 

Net Income

Net income for Consolidated SCE&G was as follows:

	Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016		Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Net income	$	112.7	1.6	%	$	110.9	$	228.9	(3.5	)%	$	237.2

Second Quarter

Net income increased primarily due to higher electric and gas distribution margins and lower depreciation expense, partially offset by higher other operation and maintenance expense, higher property taxes and higher interest cost, as further described below.

Year to Date

Net income decreased primarily due to higher other operation and maintenance expense, higher property taxes, higher interest cost and lower other income, partially offset by higher electric and gas distribution margins and lower depreciation expense as further described below.

Dividends Declared

Consolidated SCE&G’s Boards of Directors declared the following dividends on common stock (all of which was held by SCANA) during 2016:

Declaration Date	Amount	Quarter Ended	Payment Date
February 18, 2016	$74.2 million	March 31, 2016	April 1, 2016
April 28, 2016	$75.2 million	June 30, 2016	July 1, 2016
July 28, 2016	$76.1 million	September 30, 2016	October 1, 2016

Electric Operations

Electric Operations is comprised of the electric operations of SCE&G, GENCO and Fuel Company.  Electric operations operating income (including transactions with affiliates) was as follows:

	Second Quarter						Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016		Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Operating revenues	$	627.4	(1.8	)%	$	638.9	$	1,220.1	(3.9	)%	$	1,269.2
Less: Fuel used in electric generation	130.4		(20.2	)%	163.5		266.5		(21.2	)%	338.1
Purchased power	17.3		50.4	%	11.5		28.5		17.3	%	24.3
Margin	479.7		3.4	%	463.9		925.1		2.0	%	906.8
Other operation and maintenance	138.1		10.7	%	124.8		266.5		7.8	%	247.2
Depreciation and amortization	68.1		(7.8	)%	73.9		135.9		(7.7	)%	147.2

Operating Income	$	222.5	2.6	%	$	216.9	$	420.2	1.1	%	$	415.6

48

Electric operations can be significantly impacted by the effects of weather. SCE&G estimates the effects on its electric business of actual temperatures in its service territory as compared to historical averages to develop an estimate of electric margin revenue attributable to the effects of abnormal weather. Second quarter weather in SCE&G’s electric service territory was warmer than normal in both 2016 and 2015; however, the second quarter of 2015 was slightly warmer than the second quarter of 2016. In addition, year-to-date results reflect milder than normal weather in the first quarter of 2016 but colder than normal weather in the first quarter of 2015.

Second Quarter

• Margin increased due to base rate increases under the BLRA of $15.0 million, residential and commercial customer growth of $5.6 million and higher collections under SCE&G’s rate rider for pension costs of $3.7 million. The higher pension rider collections had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other operation and maintenance expenses, of higher pension costs. Margin also increased due to downward adjustments of $0.7 million in 2015, pursuant to orders of the SCPSC, related to SCE&G’s DSM Programs. These adjustments also had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other income, of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts. These increases were partially offset by $4.0 million due to the effects of milder weather and lower residential and commercial average use of $6.4 million.

• Other operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher labor costs of $7.9 million, primarily due to increased pension cost associated with the higher pension rider collections and higher incentive compensation costs.

• Depreciation and amortization decreased by $7.2 million due to the implementation of SCPSC-approved revised (lower) depreciation rates in the third quarter of 2015. This decrease in depreciation expense was partially offset by increases associated with net plant additions.

• Other taxes increased primarily due to higher property taxes associated with net plant additions.

Year to Date

• Margin increased due to base rate increases under the BLRA of $31.1 million, residential and commercial customer growth of $11.0 million and higher collections under SCE&G’s rate rider for pension costs of $3.7 million. The higher pension rider collections had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other operation and maintenance expenses, of higher pension costs. Margin also increased due to downward adjustments of $5.2 million in 2015, pursuant to orders of the SCPSC, related to SCE&G’s DSM Programs. These adjustments also had no effect on net income as they were fully offset by the recognition, within other income, of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts. These increases were partially offset by $23.6 million due to the effects of milder weather and lower residential and commercial average use of $8.0 million.

• Other operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher labor costs of $13.9 million, primarily due to increased pension cost associated with the higher pension rider collections and higher incentive compensation costs, and the amortization of $1.3 million of DSM Programs cost.

• Depreciation and amortization decreased by $14.5 million due to the implementation of SCPSC-approved revised (lower) depreciation rates in the third quarter of 2015. This decrease in depreciation expense was partially offset by increases associated with net plant additions.

• Other taxes increased primarily due to higher property taxes associated with net plant additions.

Sales volumes (in GWh) related to the electric operations margin above, by class, were as follows:

	Second Quarter				Year to Date
Classification	2016	Change		2015	2016	Change		2015

Second Quarter

Retail sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather, lower residential and commercial average use and lower industrial usage. These decreases were partially offset by residential and commercial customer growth.

Year to Date

Retail sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather and lower residential and commercial average use. These decreases were partially offset by residential and commercial customer growth and increased industrial usage. Wholesale sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather.

Gas Distribution

Gas Distribution is comprised of the local distribution operations of SCE&G.  Gas distribution operating income (including transactions with affiliates) was as follows:

	Second Quarter							Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016			Change		2015		2016		Change		2015
Operating revenues	$	64.7		(7.3	)%	$	69.8	$	189.2	(10.8	)%	$	212.1

Depreciation and amortization	6.9			3.0	%	6.7		13.5		1.5	%	13.3
Other taxes	6.6			6.5	%	6.2		13.3		7.3	%	12.4
Operating Income (Loss)	$	(0.6	)	*		$	1.0	$	37.2	(6.3	)%	$	39.7
* Greater than 100%

The effect of abnormal weather conditions on gas distribution margin is mitigated by the WNA, as further described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in SCE&G's Form 10-K for December 31, 2015. The WNA affects margins but not sales volumes.

Second Quarter and Year to Date

• Margin increased primarily due to customer growth.

• Other operation and maintenance expenses increased due to higher labor costs of $0.8 million for the quarter and $1.6 million for the year, primarily due to higher incentive compensation costs.

• Depreciation and amortization increased due to net plant additions, partially offset by the implementation of SCPSC-approved revised (lower) depreciation rates of $0.3 million for the quarter and $0.6 million for the year.

• Other taxes increased due to net plant additions.

Sales volumes (in MMBTU) related to gas distribution margin by class, including transportation, were as follows: 

	Second Quarter				Year to Date
Classification (in thousands)	2016	Change		2015	2016	Change		2015
Residential	1,113	19.2	%	934	7,777	(9.8	)%	8,626
Commercial	2,676	4.2	%	2,568	7,067	(2.0	)%	7,211

Total	9,519	0.5	%	9,476	25,960	(4.0	)%	27,053

Second Quarter

Residential and commercial firm sales volumes increased primarily due to weather and customer growth. Industrial volumes decreased and transportation volumes increased due to customers shifting to transportation only service.

50

Year to Date

Residential and commercial firm sales volumes decreased primarily due to the effects of milder weather partially offset by customer growth. Industrial sales volumes decreased and transportation volumes increased primarily due to customers shifting to transportation only service.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes the results of certain incidental non-utility activities and AFC. AFC is a utility accounting practice whereby a portion of the cost of both equity and borrowed funds used to finance construction (which is shown on the balance sheet as construction work in progress) is capitalized. Consolidated SCE&G includes an equity portion of AFC in nonoperating income and a debt portion of AFC in interest charges (credits) as noncash items, both of which have the effect of increasing reported net income. Components of other income and expense and AFC were as follows:

	Second Quarter								Year to Date
Millions of dollars	2016			Change		2015			2016			Change		2015
Other income	$	6.6		(26.7	)%	$	9.0		$	11.7		(34.3	)%	$	17.8
Other expense	(6.3		)	(7.4	)%	(6.8		)	(13.6		)	(4.2	)%	(14.2		)
AFC - equity funds	7.6			24.6	%	6.1			12.3			11.8	%	11.0

Second Quarter

Other income decreased primarily due to lower gains on the sale of land of $3.4 million and the recognition in 2015 of $0.7 million of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts previously recorded as regulatory liabilities pursuant to SCPSC orders previously discussed. Such gain recognition was fully offset by downward adjustments to revenues reflected within electric margin and had no effect on net income (see electric margin discussion). Decreases in other income were partially offset by higher SCPSC-approved carrying costs on certain deferred amounts. AFC increased due to construction activity.

Year to Date

Other income decreased primarily due to lower gains on the sale of land of $3.2 million and the recognition in 2015 of $5.2 million of gains realized upon the settlement of certain interest rate contracts previously recorded as regulatory liabilities pursuant to SCPSC orders previously discussed. Such gain recognition was fully offset by downward adjustments to revenues reflected within electric margin and had no effect on net income (see electric margin discussion). Decreases in other income were partially offset by higher SCPSC-approved carrying costs on certain deferred amounts. AFC increased due to construction activity.

Interest Expense

Interest charges increased primarily due to increased borrowings.

Income Taxes

Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were lower than the same periods in 2015 primarily due to lower income before taxes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Consolidated SCE&G anticipates that its cash obligations will be met through internally generated funds, additional short- and long-term borrowings, and equity contributions from its parent company.  Consolidated SCE&G expects that, barring a future impairment of the capital markets, it has or can obtain adequate sources of financing to meet its projected cash requirements for the foreseeable future, including the cash requirements for nuclear construction and refinancing maturing long-term debt.  Consolidated SCE&G’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the six and 12 months ended June 30, 2016 was 3.40 and 3.52, respectively.

Consolidated SCE&G is obligated with respect to an aggregate of $67.8 million of industrial revenue bonds which are secured by letters of credit issued by TD Bank N.A. These letters of credit expire, subject to renewal, in the fourth quarter of 2019.

At June 30, 2016, Consolidated SCE&G had net available liquidity of approximately $832.5 million, comprised of cash on hand and available amounts under lines of credit. The credit agreements total an aggregate of $1.4 billion, of which $200 million is scheduled to expire in December 2018 and the remainder is scheduled to expire in December 2020. Consolidated SCE&G regularly monitors the commercial paper and short-term credit markets to optimize the timing of repayment of outstanding balances on its draws, if any, from the credit facilities. Consolidated SCE&G’s long term debt portfolio has a weighted average maturity of approximately 24 years at a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.8%. All of the long-term debt bears fixed interest rates or is swapped to fixed. To further preserve liquidity, Consolidated SCE&G rigorously reviews its projected capital expenditures and operating costs and adjusts them where possible without impacting safety, reliability, and core customer service.

SCE&G has obtained FERC authority to issue short-term indebtedness and to assume liabilities as a guarantor(pursuant to Section 204 of the Federal Power Act). SCE&G may issue, with maturity dates of one year or less, unsecured promissory notes, commercial paper and direct loans in amounts not to exceed $1.6 billion outstanding and may enter into guaranty agreements in favor of lenders, banks, and dealers in commercial paper in amounts not to exceed $600 million. GENCO has obtained FERC authority to issue indebtedness with maturity dates of one year or less not to exceed $200 million outstanding. The authority described herein will expire in October 2016 and is expected to be renewed.

Cash provided from operating activities decreased primarily due to tax payments in 2016. Tax payments in 2015 were impacted by Congress' extension of bonus depreciation provisions late in 2014.

Cash flows from investing activities in 2016 and 2015 were related to capital expenditures and funding of collateral deposit requirements with respect to interest rate swaps.

Cash flows from financing activities in 2016 and 2015 included normal dividend payments which were more than offset by increases in long-term debt and equity contributions from SCANA.

In June 2016, SCE&G issued $425 million of 4.1% first mortgage bonds due June 15, 2046. In addition, SCE&G issued $75 million of 4.5% first mortgage bonds due June 1, 2064, which constituted a reopening of $300 million of 4.5% first mortgage bonds issued in May 2014. Proceeds from these sales were used to repay short-term debt primarily incurred as a result of SCE&G’s construction program, to finance capital expenditures, and for general corporate purposes.

SCE&G's current preliminary estimates of its capital expenditures for new nuclear construction (including transmission) for 2016 through 2018, which are subject to continuing review and adjustment, are $953 million in 2016, $1,341 million in 2017, and $980 million in 2018.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

SCANA:

Interest Rate Risk - Interest rates on all outstanding long-term debt are fixed either through the issuance of fixed rate debt or through the use of interest rate derivatives. The Company is not aware of any facts or circumstances that would significantly affect exposures on existing indebtedness in the near future.

For further discussion of changes in long-term debt and interest rate derivatives, including changes in the Company's market risk exposures relative to interest rate risk, see ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES and also Notes 2, 4, 6 and 7 of the combined notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
