Diversity in business is measured in many ways-but none so dramatically as by the breadth and variety of the market. The market for electric power produced and delivered by Public Service Indiana throughout two-thirds of the Hoosier state is broad indeed. The pictorial theme of this report documents a few of the countless ways electricity is put to work in the Indiana economy. Ir addition to more than 2,500 industrial users, we serve over 537,000 residential and commercial customers. Energy is also sold to 43 municipal power systems and 16 rural electric cooperatives who in turn sell to their retail consumers. L:. w _. -

Energy is available in no more flexible or convenient form than l electric energy. Its unlimited applications and ability to replace energy fuels in short supply make electricity literally the energy of the future.

More than 2,500 industrial energy users consume about one-third of all the electricity we produce. Residential customers account for about one-fourth of all energy use and commercial users buy about 20%. The balance goes to rural electric cooperatives and municipal power systems. t l Among residential customers, diversity is represented by the one in five customers who heat their homes electrically and by the variety of appliances used in today's home. But the big diversity story is I industrial. Our industrial customers include those in 22 major standard classifications ranging from chemical and drugs (our largest energy user) to printing and publishing. During a year of economic doldrums such as 1981, the strength of industrial diversity becomes sharply apparent. While 9 industrial categories used less energy than in the previous year,13 showed energy use gains._ Our industrial inix is indeed a keystone of diversity. Yet no single .- customer accounts for more than 2.5% of kwh sales. economic diversity A service area extending across some 22,000 square miles, with a population of 2.1 million, offers a varied pattern of economic strength and weakness. Economic slowdown in one area or one community is bolstered by economic strengthin another. And no large metropolitan areas are served by Public Service Indiana. Terre Haute, with a population of about 64,000, is the largest city on 6 our system. Population shifts away from major metropolitan

cantors into suburban areas served by the Company have been a significant f actor in our residential growth. The Company's carvico area includes seven of the ten fastest growing counties in Indiana in terms of population. fuel diversity Last year, coal was burned to produce more than 98% of all the electricity generated by the Company. A small hydroelectric plant on ths Ohio River and oil-fired peaking units contributed the remainder. Today we do have most of our fuel eggs in one basket-a weakness brought painfully home to us and our customers in 1978 when a record 110-day strike by coal miners resulted in electric energy curtailments. Such risks will be greatly reduced when nuclear power comes into our fuel mix. The completion of the first nuclear-powered generating unit at Marble Hillis targeted for late 1986, with a second unit coming on line one year later. These two nuclear units will account for about 25% of our total generating capacity. Despite higher construction and capital costs, the nuclear units will not only add fuel diversity but will represent a more economical energy source than any other option available. diversity of energy demand An electric utility must be able to generate enough power to meet maximum customer energy use. These peaks occur daily, monthly and seasonally and in large part reflect weather-sensitive heating and cooling loads.

i diversity of capital resources One of our primary financial objectives is to maintain a balance between equity and debt-a goal not uncommon among utilities. One of our fundamental goals is to maintain a credit quality that will enable us to obtain capital at the lowest practical cost. At year-end, long-term debt was 47% of our total capital while common stock equity represented 41% of total capital. Preferred stock equity accounted for 12%. Internal generation of cash is a significant source of funds needed for construction. Long-term, our objective is to raise about half of such funds internally. This goal has been an elusive one in an era where double-digit inflation coincides with heavy co_nstruction spending. This goal cannot be attained in periods of

What is the problem and what can be done to correct it? In our case, the size of the conetruction program and the need to raise significant amounts of additional capitalin the next five years are critical factors. But these factors alone are not the villains. Inadequate returns on equit y, reflected in market prices that are below book value for most utilities, cast grave clouds over the industry's ability to raise the funds needed to keep pace with growing electric energy needs of the nation. Despite the recent I slowdown in the rate of energy growth, the investor-owned i olectric utility industry must spend $ 365 billion on new plant and equipment during the 1981-1990 period-or about 170% of plant in service at the start of 1981. An estimated 60% must come from external sources-including about $ 60 billion in new common stock. j Financial experts express serious doubt that the industry will be able to raise such amounts in the face of declining levels of internally-generated funds, inadequate earnings levels, and net income figures which reflect sharp increases in allowance for funds used during construction. This non-cash item accounted for over 44% of the industry's net income in 1980, more than 21/2 times the 1970 average. These realities have not escaped the attention of the investor who perceives all too clearly the investment risk in electric utilities, i But the matter is not hopeless. Solutions do exist. And indeed where utility regulation has been responsive to the mutual interests of the shareholder and the consumer (as has been the case in Indiana), there is reason for optimism. Electric utilities recognize that the solutions to below-book value sales of common stock and the resulting dilution of present shareholder equity must come from increased earnings. Inclusion of CWIP in the rate base and adequate rates of return stand as the best means to achieve the increases in cash earnings which will attract new capital at reasonable rates. Restoration of the industry's financial health is not solved easily or overnight. But it must occur if the nation is to have the energy muscle to sustain a growing and viable economy. The bottom line here is the ability to create new jobs, new paychecks and to preserve those already in existence. Without adequate electric power, economic growth will be beyond our reach. For all these reasons, Public Service Indiana has no higher priority than to regain its full financial strength-symbolized by a double-A credit rating. Our investors, our customers, our service area, our ! company-all will benetit. 9

PUBLIC SERVICE INDIANA 1 responsibility for financial statements The financial statements of Public Service Indiana and other financialinformation included herein are representations of the management of the Company; accordingly, the integrity, accuracy, objectivity and consistency of presentation is assumed by. Company management. Financial statement preparation is in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and follows accounting policies and principles prescribed by the Public Service Commission of Indiana and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commissicn. In meeting its responsibilities for the reliability of the financial statements, management depends on the Company's system of internal accounting control. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with the policies and principles described above. The Company also seeks to assure the objectivity and integrity of its accounts by careful selection of its managers, division of responsibilities, delegation of authority and comniunication programs for the entire organization to assure that policies and standards are understood. Management utilizes an internal auditing program to evaluate the adequacy and application of financial and operating controls, compliance with Company policies and procedures and the accountability and safeguarding of Company assets. Management believes that the Company's accounting controls provide reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements are prevented or would be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. The Board of Directors, through its Audit Committee composed of Directors other than Company employees, pursues its responsibilities for these financial statements by meeting periodically with management, tne internal auditors and the independent auditors to assure that each are carrying out their respective responsibilities. The Audit Committee has full access to the internal and independent auditors and meets with them, with and without rr.anagement being present, to discuss auditing and financial reporting matters. Vernley R. Rehnstrom Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer auditors' report To the Board of Directors of Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc.: We have examined the balance sheets of Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc. (an indiana corporation) as of December 31,1981 and 1980, and the related statements of income, earning:: invested in the business, and sources of funds used for utility plant additions for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,1981. Our examinations were made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

la) Depreciation and Maintenance The Company's provision for depreciation is determined by using the straight-line method ap-plied to the cost of depreciable plant in service. The composite depreciation rate was 3.5% for 1981,1980 and 1979. Maintenance and repairs of property units and renewals of minor items of property are charg-ed to maintenance expense accounts except repairs of an insignificant amount charged to clearing accounts. The costs of renewals and betterments of units of property are charged to utility plant accounts and the original cost of depreciable units retired and cost of removal, less salvage recovered, are charged to accumulated depreciation. (b) Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) Effective October 1,1981, the Company adopted an AFUDC pretax rate of 10%% with semi-annual compound:ng; the rate was increased to 12 % % January 1,1982. The previous 9% % AFUDC pretax rate, without compounding, had been in effect since January 1976. This change had no material effect upon net income in 1981. The related income tax effects applicable to the capitalized interest component are recorded as deferred income tax ex-pense. (c) Federal and State income Taxes income tax timing dif ferences, due primarily to accelerated tax depreciation and deduction of certain utility plant costs capitalized rer books, receive comprehensive income tax allocation treatment in determining tne provision for taxes. 30

n:t:::s to financial statements-continued The Company is deferring investment tax credits and amortizing the accumulated balance over the usefullives of th3 property which gave rise to such credits. Investment tax credits generated in excess of the investment tax credit limitations established by law have been recorded as a refund of prior years' taxes. For the year 1981,

      $ 12.9 million of unused investment tax credits will be carried forward to offset future years' tax liabilities as per-mitted by law.

The Company claimed an additional 1 % % investment tax credit for the Investment Tax Credit Employee Stock Ownership Plan for the year 1979; for the year 1980, $ 1.5 million was claimed and $4.3 million was carried for-werd to future years; for the year 1981, approximately $4.3 million will be claimed and $ 5.8 million will be car-risd forward. (d) Unamortized Debt Discount, Premium and Expense Debt discount, premium and expense on outstanding long-term debt is being amortized over the lives of the respective issues. (s) Operating Revenues and Fuel Costs The Company records revenues as billed to its customers on a cycle billing basis. Revenue is not recorded for energy delivered and unbilled at the end of each fiscal period. Fuel cost charge factors, applicable to all of the Company's metered kwh sales, are based on estimated costs of fuel; as actual costs of fuel are determined, any differences are deferred and billed in subsequent months.

2. Rites. On June 10,1981, the Public Service Commission of Indiana (Indiana Commission) granted the Company a 21% increase in retail rates. The approved rates were designed to produce additional annual revenues of
       $112.7 million; the Company had originally petitioned the Indiana Commission for a 23% increase totalling
       $ 119.6 million. The state appointed Utility Consumer Counselor has appealed the Indiana Commission's order in this case. The Company believes the order will be upheld.

On August 28,1981, a filing for increased rates to wholesale customers was made with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The proposed rates reflected a 29% increase and aggregated $29 million in ad-ditional annual revenues; on October 20,1981, the Company and its wholesale customers negotiated a settle-ment, subject to FERC approval, which would produce additional annual revenues of approximately $22 million effective January 1,1982.

3. Cipital Stock. As of December 31,1981,3,805,889 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the Automatic Dividend Reinvestment And Stock Purchase Plan (ADR), Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and Investment Tax Credit Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

The changes in common stock for 1981,1980 and 1979 were as follows: Shares issued Amount 1981 1980 1979 1981 1980 1979 (millions) Public Offerings . . . 6.7 2.7 2.0 $ 134.2 $ 56.4 $ 50.5 ADR . . 1.3 1.1 .6 25.3 20.8 14.3 ESPP and ESOP . . . . .3 .4 .2 5.4 9.0 6.9 8.3 4.2 2.8 $ 164.9 $ 86.2 $ 71.7 i Charter provisions limit dividends on common stock to 75% of net income available therefor if the ratio of com-mon stock equity to total capitalization of the Company is less than 25% and to 50% of such net income if such ratio is less than 20%. As of December 31,1981, the ratio of common stock equity to total capitalization was 41%. ) On December 29,1981, the Company sold 450,000 shares of 13.25% Cumulative Preferred Stock (par value

        $100 per share) of which 210,000 shares were issued on that date and the remaining 240,000 shares will be             31 issued on March 1,1982. Proceeds will be applied to the Company's construction program, e

4. Long-Term Debt. The sinking fund requirements with respect to first mortgage bonds of the Cumpany outstand-ing at December 31,1981, aggregated (exclusive of redemption premium) $8.1 million payable on or prior to May 1,1982, $ 8.6 million in 1983 and $8.3 million in 1984,1985 and 1986. The Company has met and ex-pects to continue to meet future sinking fund requirements by certifying bondable property additions.

First mortgage bond maturities are $25 million in 1982, $25 million in 1984, $50 million in 1985 and $12.5 million in 1986.

5. Pension Plan. The Company's non-contributory pension plan covers all employees meeting certain minimum age and service requirements. The unfunded actuarial liability of the pension plan amounted to $5.5 million at January 1,1981, and is being funded over a period of twenty-five years. The Company's policy is to fund pen-sion costs accrued, which amounted to $ 6.0 million in 1981, $ 5.7 million in 1980 and $4.6 million in 1979. In making the actuarial calculations, interest assumptions of 6% for 1981 and 1980 and 51/2% for 1979 were used.

6. Short-Term Borrowings and Compensating Balances. At December 31,1981, the Company had bank linee of credit aggregating $ 172.1 million, of which $ 59 million required compenseting balances during 1981 averaging
        $4.1 million; $ 53 million had commitment fees for the lines and compensating balances for any borrowings; $48 million had commitment fees only and $12.1 million was available without compensating balances or commit-ment fees. Bank loans under these lines are at the bank's prime lending rate. The sale of the Company's commer-cial paper is supported by a portion of these lines of credit.

In 1981, the Company entered into a nuclear fuelleasing and credit arrangement (see Note 9). This arrangement also permits the Company to issue promissory notes for general corporate borrowing; $90 million was available at December 31,1981. At December 31,1981, the Company had a trust demand note arrangement with a commercial bank for $10 million. Amounts borrowed are callable on demand and interest on borrowings is the current rate for certain high quality, directly placed commercial paper. There is no compensating balance or fee requirement associated with this credit arrangement. The Company holds a portion of its previously mentioned bank lines of credit available to cover any call for payment. For the years 1981 and 1980, the Company had trust demand notes, commercial paper and bank loans outstanding at various times as follows: Weighted Weighted Maximum Average Average Average Amount Amount interest Interest Outstanding Outstanding Rate , Balance at Rate at at any during the during the Dec. 31

7. Inceme Tax Expense. Deferred income taxes (net) are due to timing differences between book and income tax deductions. Deferred income taxes arising from the debt component of AFUDC were $21.5 million for 1981,
      $11.7 million for 1980 and $7.4 million for 1979; deferred taxes due to accelerated tax depreciation were
      $15.3 million for 1981, $ 18.1 million for 1980 and $17.5 million for 1979; and deferred taxes due to the capitalization of certain administrative costs were $ 5.8 million for 1981, $4.3 million for 1980 and $3.6 million for 1979.

The computation of combined federal and state income taxes, including amounts in other income-net, is as follows: 1981 1980 1979 (millions) Book net income . .. . . $ 151.6 $ 122.7 $123.0 Income tax expense . .. .. . 80.0 69.7 88.6 Pretax income . . . .. . .. 231.6 192.4 211.6 Less: AFUDC-nontaxable equity component . 63.8 44.0 25.9 Other . ... ... . .. .

8. Construction and Nuclear Fuel Commitments. The Company estimates that $ 2.3 billion will be expended for con-struction purposes and $ 254 million for nuclear fuel (excluding nuclear fuel owned by PIN Energy Trust) for the period 1982-1985.

The Company owns and will be entitled to 83% of the output of the two Marble Hill Nuclear Station units; the re-maining 17% is owned by Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (WVPA). The ownership agreement between the Company and WVPA provides that each party shall be responsible for the financing of its ownership share of project costs. Northern Indiana Public Service Company will purchase 10% of the capacity of Unit 1 from the Company from the date of commercial operation through September 30,1957. The in-service dates for the two Marble Hill units are scheduled for late 1986 and 1987. The total project is cur-rently estimated to cost $4.3 billion, compared with the previous estimate of $3.4 billion; the Company's 83% ownership interest increased from $2.85 billion to $3.55 billion.

 ;     Due to certain construction problems at the Marble Hill project, the Company suspended all safety-related work in August 1979. In response to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) confirming order, outlining necessary steps to resume safety-related work, the Company has restructured its project management and quality assurance staffs and added a substantial number of personnel with extensive commercial nuclear experience.

The Company resumed safety-related work on March 27,1981, and expects that the confirming order will be rescinded by the NRC in the near future. In December the Company billed WVPA for $31.5 million of transmission and distribution facilities under provi- , sions of agreements pertaining to proportionate ownership of such facilities; payment was received in January 1982.

9. Leases. On December 4,1981, the Company entered into a nuclear fuellease arrangement with the PIN Energy Trust which has a borrowing capability of up to $ 150 million for the acquisition of nuclear fuel. Payments to the Trust will begin when fuel is consumed, which is currently estimated to be late 1986.

Rentals incurred under financing leases not capitalizeo and operating leases are less than one percent of electric l operating revenues. The effect on the financial statements, if all financing leases had been capitalized, is not material, 33

While construction levels have produced increased investment tax credits for each of the years, the decreases for 1980 and 1981 reflect the Company's inability to fully utilize applicable investment tax credits for the year. Un-us:d investment tax credits are carried forward to offset future years' tax liabilities. The decrease in state, local and othsr tax expense in 1.980 reflects adjustmerits of real estate and personal property tax expense for prior years. cperati:n and maintenance- - Oth:r operation and maintenance expenses have increased due to the effect of inflation on operating costs, customer growth, the addition of a new generating unit at the Gibson Station in 1979 and additions to the Company's transmis-sion and distribution systems. ~ cirninga Tha increase in the combined debt and equity portions of Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) rsflects the rising levels of construction work in progress at the Gibson and Marble Hill Stations, the increase in the rate from 9% % to 10%%, effective October 1,1981, and the adoption of semi-annual compounding. Increases in interest charges and preferred dividends reflect the sale of additional securities to finance the Company's construction program, increases in operating expenses, higher financing costs and the increase in the number of pr:ferred and common shares outstanding, offset in part by modest sales increases, resulted in a decline in earnings through 1980 and the first half of 1981. With the implementation of the June 1981 retail rate increase and the change in AFUDC effective October 1,1981, earnings increased to $ 3.42 per share for the year ended December 31,1981. rita increases } On Juns 10,1981, the Public Service Commission of Indiana (Indiana Commission) granted the Company a 21% in-crease in retail rates. The approved rates were designed to produce additional annual revenues of $ 112.7 million; the Comp:ny had originally petitioned the Indiana Commission for a 23% increase totalling $ 119.6 million. On an original 35 7 cost basis, the rate of return allowed was 12.19%; the return, requested and allowed, on common equity was 16.75%. The state appointed Utility Consumer Counselor has appealed the Indiana Commission's order in this case. Thi Company be:ieves the order will be upheld.

Since 1976 the Company has used ar AFUDC rate of 9 % % (pretax rate without compounding). To more adequately i reflect the cost of debt and equity capital used in construction activities, effective October 1,1981, the Company (; ador9ed a 10% % AFUDC pretax rate, with semi annual compounding; the AFUDC rate was increased to 12% % as of ) ', Jandry 1, I')32, which reflects the 16.75% retum on common equity granted in the June 1981 retail rate order.

In February 1981, the Company announced that it had begun preliminary discussions with Wabash Valley Power Association, Inc. (WVPA) and Indiana Municipal Power Agency (IMPA) for the proposed sale of up to 50% of the Gib-son Unit 5 generating capacity. Letters of intent to purchase an undivided 25% interest in the Gibson Unit 5 generating capacity uve been signed by both WVPA and IMPA and negotiations are continuing. In Decerther 1981, the Cornpany entered into a nuclear fuellease arrangement with PIN Energy Trust. Proceeds of up to $150'mation will be made availabic to the Trust for the acquisition of nuclear fuel. Of the funds required for construction and nuclear fuel during the 1982-1985 period, exclusive of the WVPA and IMPA payments expoeted in late 1982 for their mterests in Gibson Unit 5 and the nuclear fuel trust lease arrangement, it is aresently estimated that $1;1.balion (41%I Vd'l be internally genermd and $1.5 billion (59%) will be provided through the sale of securities.

generst problems of the industry 1 The ekstric utility inc'ustry is experiencing prob 8emt, si,ch as obtaining adequate rate increases, financing large con- ( struction programs ciuring inflationary puiads, obtaining sufficient capital on reasonable terms, compliance with en-vironmental regulations, increasing costs of fossif f ud, delais in licensing and constructing new f acilities and ef fects of enerCY conservation. Tha severity of each of these problems varies among different companies and areas. While the 3G Company considers its own experience to date in relation to these problems has been relatively favorable, there is no assurance that such problems will not adversely affect the Company in the future.

capital r: sources and liquidity Tha principal sources of internal funds are provided by retained earnings (less AFUDC which is a non-cash item except for such amounts collected through rates), depreciation, deferred income taxes and investment tax credits. Dus to the size of the Company's construction program, the lengthy time frames for completion of Gibson Unit 5 and th2 two Marble Hill units (estimated in service dates of 1982,1986 snd 1987, respectively) and the rising cost of crpit:1, the percentage of net income represented by the non-cash portion of AFUDC will become increasingly larger. If Ed: quits rate increases are not received on a timely basis, internal cash generation will decline and a larger proportion of c;pitil from external sources will be required to finance the Company's construction program, in November 1981, thrza investment rating services informed the Company that they had lowered their ratings by one rating category on th3 Company's ou standing first mortgage bonds and preferred stock due to the Company's requirements for signifi-cint outside finar'cing in connection with its construction program and lower interest and preferred dividend cov:rrgIs. Th3 inclusion of construction work in progress (CWIP)in determining utility rates would significantly reduce construc-tion costs by providing a higher percentage of available internal funds thereby reducing the amount of capital needed

 , from ext:rnal sources. Adoption of this concept would substantially reduce the Company's 1982-1985 construction estimitzs and improve the Company's interest and preferred dividend coverages.

Tha Company's 1982-1985 construction program will require substantial amounts of additional common stock fi-nancing. Virtually all new common shares issued by the electric industry in 1981, including those of the Company, w:ro sold below book value. The continued sales of common stock below book value dilutes the present shareholders' invzstment and requires the sale of more shares of stock than would otherwise be required. The Company's long-term capitalization ratio objectives are to maintain an even balance of debt and equity capital. The issuance and sale by the Company of preferred stock and first mortgage bonds are subject to compliance with earnings coverage requirements of its charter and the mortgage indenture. Depending on the level of the Company's earnings, the Company may be unable, in certain time periods, to meet these requirements and would be required in such cir-cumstancet to issue preference stock, debentures or other types of securities. The sale of such types of securities could require higher preferred dividend and interest rates. Und:r short term financing arrangements, the Company has authority from the Public Service Commission of Indiana to issue promissory notes payable in not less than 12, nor more than 24 months, from the date of issuance in amounts not exceeding $275 million outstanding at any one time prior to December 31,1983. (See Note 6 of " Notes to Finan-ciel Statements" for details of credit arrangements.) dividends Dividends have been paid each year since the Company was formed in 1941 and have increased each year for twenty-ons consecutive years. It is ths Company's belief that the regular payment to shareholders of a liberal portion of earnings available for common stock as dividends, as well as orderly increases in the dividend rate, is in the best interest of the Company, its shrreholders and the public served. While the Company cannot predict future dividend actions,it believes that the continuation of past dividend practices l will b3 desirable in light of the Company's financing needs in the next several years, i l inflati:n i Th3 estimated effects of inflation on the Company's operations are presented on pages 39-41 " Supplementary Data on Changing Prices". The continued impact of infiation on operations, as well as on construction costs, will require p:riodic rate adjustments to maintain adequate earnings levels. 37

suppl:mentary data on changing prices Supplem:ntary Data on Changing Prices (Unaudited). The following supplementary data are provided in accordance with the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 33, Financial Reporting and Changing Prices, for the purpose of reporting certain information as to the effects of changing prices on the Company's operations. The Company's financial statements are prepared based on historical prices in ef fect when the transactions occurred; the FASB statement requires 11e statement of income and certain other information to be prepared on two cdditional bases: the constant dollar basis and the current cost basis. The data presented in the following statements should be viewed as on estimate of the effect of changing prices, rather than as a precise measure. The constant dollar basis represents the restatement of historical costs to current-day price levels, utilizing the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI). The current cost basis represents the restatement of historical costs of net utility plant to current reproduction cost utilizing the Handy-Whitman index of Public Utility Construction Costs. Changing prices impact common sttek (quity in two whys. First, under ratemaking procedures prescribed by the regulatory commissions to which the Company is subject, only the original cost of utility plant is recoverable in revenues as depreciation. The cost of utility p' ant, determined on the constant dollar and/or current cost basis in excess of original cost, is not presently recoverable in rates as depreciation, nor as a deduction for income tax purposes, and is defined as a reduction to net recoverable cost. Second, " monetary assets", such as cash and claims to cash, lose purchasing power during inflationary periods because monetary assets buy fewer goods and services as the general price levelincreases. Conversely, " monetary liabilities", such as long-term debt, gain because the liabilities will be repaid by dollars having less purchasing power. The not change in monetary assets and liabilities (which excludes utility plant, unamortized investment tax credits and common stock equity) is reflected as a gain (or loss) in purchasing power. Operating revenues and other operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation)in the statement of income have not been restated since such amounts would not be materially different if determined on a constant dollar or current cost basis. The cost of fuel used in generation is not restated due to the current recovery of actual fuel costs through fuel cost charge factors or adjustments in basic rate schedules. Depreciation expense has been restated by applying current Company depreciation rates to the indexed utility plant amounts. As shown on the accompanying five-year summary, earnings per share in 1981,1980 and 1979 have been restated to reflect both the reduction due solely to the higher depreciation expense and to reflect the totalimpact of changing prices on common stock equity under the two bases.
