H MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND Qoot,' ,'

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND i RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CORPORATE DQE was formed as a holding company in 1989, with Duquesne Light STRUCTURE Company (Duquesne) as a wholly owned subsidiary. DQE and Duquesne are sometimes referred to collectively as the Company, As the principal oper-ating subsidiary of DQE Duquesne's operations account for the major share of DQE's total assets, tevenues and income.1herefore, DQE's Onancial condition changes it its liquidity and its future financial outlook depend primarily on the operating. investing and financial activities of Duquesne.

Although the electric utility business will continue to be the largest por-tion of DQE's business for the foreseeable future, the Company has taken important steps to develop its two non-utility subsidiaries Duquesne Enter-prises (DE) and Montauk. DE is developing a total energy services package for the new Greater Pittsburgh Intemational Airport, pursuing demand side management opportunities and providmg real estate services. Montauk is involved in a variety of investment management activities.

RESULTS OF Opemling Revenues OPERATIONS Operating revenues increased (decreased) in the years 1988 through 1990 '

over the respective preceding years. for the followmg reasons:

Revenues from other utihties (1.4) jl2 0) 9y Toral $ 13.6 '557 4 $ 175.2 soo _ . . _ - _ ~~

Retail operating revenues are based on rates authorized by the Pennsylva-nia Public Utility Commission (PUC) and are designed to recover operating expenses plus a rate of return on the investment in utility rate base.

The general rate increase and the deferred customer revenues resulted from_ a $232 million rate increase granted in late March of 1988 which is uou - aa being phased in over a six-year period. The phase-in was designed such a wo.cma, that rates increase each year in years 1988 through 199I by $85 million, g g,  % remain constant in years 1992 and 1993 and decrease by $85 million in a c,,,, u,u % 1994. The rate _ increase granted has been recognized in revenues since

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND p DGE

- ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS <cONUNurD:

t Environmental Alatters -

The comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and I.iability Act of 1980 (Superfund) and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthoriza-tion Act of 1986 (SARA) established a variety ofinformational and environ-mental actica programs- Duc uesne has been notified by the Environmental Protection Agency ofits invo vement or potential involvement in three haz-ardous waste sites Duquesne is cunently determining the extent, if any, of its liability in this regard Duquesne beheves that the ultimate outcome of these and other environmental matters will not have a material advm effect on its financial position or results of operations in 1990 Congress approved certain amendments to the Clean Air Act.

The emission limit standards of the new legislation will require Duquesne to reduce sulfur dioxide (SOA and/or nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions at its wholly owned Cheswick plant and its jointly owned Eastlake, Sammis nnd Fort Martin plants by 1905 Preliminary studies indicate that the Company will be able to comoly with the Phase I requirements beginning in 1995 by using lower sulfur coal and adding low NOx burners at these four plants and Phillips. The capital costs associated with this strategy of meeting Phase I are estimated to be $50 million. To meet Phase 11 requirements beginning in 2000, Duquesne is exploring a combination of compliance methods to take advantage of advances in clean coal technology. Duquesne will con-tinue to work with the owner / operators of our jointly owned stations to arrive at a cost effective compliance strategy to meet the requirements of Phase 11.

Accounting Afatters The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued statements regarding the accounting for income taxes and postemployment benefits which the Company will be required to adopt by 1992 and 1993 respectively. See oles A and G for a discussion of the accounting changes required by the new statements. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of

- either standard will have an adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. _

Note H describes the status of certain investments not currently included in rate base and other deferred costs which the Company expects to recover in the future. If at any time the company determines that recovery of these items is not probable, such umecoverable amounts would be recognized as a charge to earnings, l

NOTES TO CONSOUDAT ED FIN ANCI AL STATEMENTS A. Consolidation

SUMMARY

OF The consohdated linancial statements include the accounts of DQE and its ACCOUNTING subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have POLICIES been eliminated in the pteparation of the consolidated linancial statements.

Ptopeny, Plant and Lquipment Properties are stated at the original cost of construction, including related payroll taxes, pensions and other ninge benefits, administrative and general costs and an allowance for funds used during construction (Al C). AFC, which represents the estimated combined debt and equity cost of funds used to finance constniction, vanes according to changes in the level of construction work in progress (CWIP) and in the cost of capital. AFC is cred ited to income, and while cash is not realized currently from this aPowance, it is realized over the service life of the plant through increased revenues resulting from highet rate base and higher depreciation expense. The AFC rates applied to CWIP were 9.9% 101% and 12 (n,in 1990,1989 and 1988, respectively.

Additions and replacements of property units are charged to plant ac-counts Maintenance, repairs and replacement of minor items of property are charged to expense as incurred The cost of property retired plus re-moval costs, after deducting any salvage value, is charged to the accumu-lated provision for depreciation Substantially all of Duquesne's properties are subject to a first mortgage lien.

In 1984 the Central Area Power Coordination Group (CAPCOt companies EXTRAORDINARY agreed to minimize construction work and cash expenditures on Perry 2 PROPERTY 1.OSS pending consideration of several alternatives, including resumption of con-struction or cancellation of the Unit. Duquesne believes that any decision to resume construction of the Unit must be approved by all of the CAPCO .

companies. Based on present conditions, Duquesne will not approve re-suming construction In 1987 Duquesne teceived approval from the PUC to amortire and recover its $155 million investment in Perry 2 over a ten-year period which began July 1.1987, on the basis that Duquesne had aban-doned its interest in the Unit in Much 198h Ducuesne is not earnmg a return on the umecovered cost of the Unit, whic1 was $99.5 million at December 31,1940.

In 1988 the Company changed its method of accounting for abandon-ments to conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 90 (SFAS 90). SFAS 90 required that a loss be recorded for the disallowance of a return on investment, regardless of the fact that tegolators have provided for recovery of the full investment. 't he loss that was recorded far the disal-lowance of a return was measured by the difference between the recover ~

able investment and the present value of the amounts to bc recovered from customers. As this ditTetence decreases over the period of recovery of the onginal investment, the loss is reversed through accretion, whkh is recog-nized as income.

C. In 1989 Duquesne entered into an arrangement with an unaffiliated corm-SALE OF ration whereby Duquesne is entitled to sell a_nd the corporation is requits 1 RECEIVABLES to purchase, on an ongoing basis, up to $90 million of its accounts &

The sales agreement includes a limited recourse obliga-tion under which Duquesne could be required to repurchase certain of the -

il, Io87 lhtte Case RATI MATIIRS On Match 23,1988 the PUC adopted an order which increased annual tevenues by approximately $232 million The older tellects the PUC's allow ance of a 12 87% teturn on equity and an overall rate of return of 10,94%

Although the new tales became ellective in March 1988, the PUC ordered the increase to be phased in over a period of six years 1he deliciencies in revenues resulting from those scheduled tale increasch are defetted and will be recovered by the end of the sixth year. The phase in plan was designed to include a return equal to the after tax ATC rate on any revenue deferred for latertecovery. Deletted revenues and related carrying charges of $267.9 million were recorded through December 31,1990-Several parties to the rate case, including Duquesne, had tiled appeals

. primarily relating to a Perry I cconomic excess capacity penalty. In July 1989 the PUC approved a Comprehensive settlement Agreement (Agice.

ment) among Duquesne, the Pennsylvania Office of Oinsumet Advocate, the City of Pittsburgh and a number of commercial ct ,tomers in Pittsburgh which had intervened in the 1987 Rate Case and other tale proceedings (loint Petitioners). Undet the terms of the Agtrement Duquesne's base rate revenues were temporarily reduced by $25 4 million over a 12 inonth period ~

The ditietence between the purchase price <. and the nel carrying amounts of the bonds was $20 9 miihon and has been included in the balance sheel as "Unamurtited loss on reacquired debt" Duquesne amortizes and recovels these losses lhtough rates Sinking fund requirements and maturities for the next live years of long-term debt outstanding as of December 31,1990 were as follows:

un Driling Nnking i und themfor 31. licquiternents Matutilles 1991 $ 12,435.(K80 5 400.000 1942 13.M 2.000 74.500,000 t993 i A i 15.000 1.ovosoo I094 i A 715#00 700 000 1995 11440.0fK) 49 100,000 1he sinking fund requitements telate primarily to the Orst inortgage bonds and may be sailsfied by the certification of property addit;ons equal to 166-2/3% of the bonds requiad to be tedeemed. During 1990, $4.2 million of the annual sinking fund requirernent was satisfied by cash and $8 3 million by certification of property additions.

Total interest costs incutted during 1990,1989 and 1988 were $158 5 million, $172 million and $174.1 million, respectively, of whkh $13 9 mil-lion, $18 million and $40 6 inithon, including AFC, were capitali/ed or de-ferred. Debt discount or premium and related expenses ate amortized over the lives of the applicable issues.

Duquesne was involved in the issuance of $4216 million of collateralized lease bonds, of which $418 8 million temains outstanding, by an unallillated corporation for the purpose of financing the lessors' purchases of 15eaver Valley 2. Duquesne is also associated with a letter of credit securing the lessoir $183 million equity interest in the Unit and certain tax benelits. Il certain specilled events occur, the leases could terminate and the letter of credit and/or the bonds would become direct obligations of Duquesne.

K. In addition to its wholly owned generating units, Duquesne, together with GI.NERATING other electric utilities, has an ownership or leasehr' '~ e in certain UNilS jointly owned units. Duquesne is required to pay 1: ,ie construc-tion and opcrating costs of the units, The operatin e of the units are included in the income statement.
