Enterprise Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (Enterprise) is a diversi-fied public utility holding company.

Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G). the principal sub-sidiary of Enterprise, is a regulated utility providing electric and gas service to more than two million customers and more than five-and-a-half million residents of New Jersey.

It is the state's largest utility and one of America's largest combined elec-tric and gas companies.

Enterprise Diversified Holdings Incorporated (EDH I), a subsidiary of Enterprise, is the parent company of Enterprise's nonutility businesses.

These activities, which are focused on the unregulated energy industry, include investments in oil and gas exploration and production, inde-pendent power production and other investments.

One example of our efforts is the creation, in January 1994, of a new unregulated subsidiary, Public Service Gas Marketing Company, which will join with Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company to form a retail natural gas market-ing partnership to enhance our ability to offer gas sales on a multi-state basis.

Another example is PSE&G's active pu rsuit of market opportunities to sell wholesale electric energy and capac-ity both within and outside New Jersey. We expect that the generation of electric power wil l continue to be a vital and important contributor to PSE&G earnings for the foreseeable future.

Long-Term Objectives In the 1992 annual report, I outlined the efforts required to achieve our vision for Enterprise: "Working together to set the standard of excellence in delivering energy services to customers."

I listed some basic requirements for success -

requirements that are even more important as we enter 1994. They are:

• We must strive to be the low-cost energy supplier in the Middle Atlantic region.

• We must work to attain the highest standards of customer service and satisfaction.

• We must have a diverse, motivated and skilled workforce.

PSE&G gas sales were up 5.3% compared with 1992.

Residential sales were up 1.2%, commercial up 0.4% and industrial up 18.5%. The increase in industrial sales was primarily due to higher sales for electric cogeneration.

Issues COMPETITION and Review Gas transportation service increased 2.6%, compared with 1992. Total gas sold or transported increased 4.9%.

PSE&G's earnings to fixed charges coverage was 3.30 times, up from 2.70 times in 1992. Cash flow was strong, and PSE&G met most of its $863 million construction expenditures through internally generated cash.

During 1993, PSE&G sold $1.973 billion of mortgage bonds, including pollution control debt The proceeds from these issues were principally used to refund outstanding and maturing debt, lowering annual interest expense by more than $23 million.

During the year, Enterprise sold a total of 8.3 million shares of common stock. Net proceeds of $273 million were used by Enterprise principally to make equity invest-ments in PSE&G, which used the additional funds to repay a portion of its short-term debt obligations. Also, PSE&G sold 750,000 shares of preferred stock. The net proceeds f $75 million were used by PSE&G for general corporate r Performance ies increased significantly from the previous year -

Weather Responses When two storms within less than I 0 days in March 1993 battered PSE&G's service area, 145,000 customers were left without power.

A blizzard then struck on March I 3 interrupting service to another 26,000 cus-tomers statewide. PSE&G crews - from both the electric and the gas business units - worked around the clock to restore service.

Then in early June, a severe thunderstorm battered PSE&G's service territory. Some 95,000 customers, most of them in the central area of the state, were left without power by the high winds and heavy rain from the storm.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 34 Overview Consolidated Financial Statistics 46 Enterprise has two direct wholly-owned subsidiaries, Public Service Operating Statistics 47 Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) and Enterprise Diversified Officers and Directors 48 Holdings Incorporated (EDHI). Enterprise's principal subsidiary, Corporate and Stock Information 49 PSE&G, is an operating public utility providing electric and gas ser-vice in certain areas in the State of New Jersey.

PSE&G has a finance subsidiary, PSE&G Fuel Corporation (Fuelco), providing financing, unconditionally guaranteed by PSE&G, of up to $I 50 million aggregate principal amount at any one time of a 42.49% interest in the nuclear fuel acquired for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 (Peach Bottom). PSE&G also has a nonutility subsidiary, Public Service Conservation Resources Corporation (PSCRC), which offers demand side management (DSM) services to utilrty customers.

EDHI is the parent of Enterprise's other nonutility businesses:

Energy Development Corporation (EDC), *an oil and gas explo-ration, development, production and marketing company; Community Energy Alternatives Incorporated (CEA), an investor in and developer of cogeneration and power production facilities; Public Service Resources Corporation (PSRC), which makes diver-sified passive investments; and Enterprise Group Development Corporation (EGDC), a diversified nonresidential real estate devel-opment and investment business. EDHI also has two finance sub-sidiaries: PSEG Capital Corporation (Capital), which has provided up to $750 million of privately-placed debt financing on the basis of a support agreement from Enterprise and Enterprise Capital Funding Corporation (Funding), which provides privately-placed debt financing guaranteed by EDHI but without direct support from Enterprise.

As of December 31, I 993 and December 3 I, I 992, PSE&G comprised 86% and 83%, respectively, of Enterprise assets. For the years I 993, I 992 and I 99 I, PSE&G revenues were 93%, 93% and 94%, respectively, of Enterprise revenues and PSE&G earnings avail-able to Enterprise for such years were 96%, 88% and 95%, respec-tively, of Enterprise net income.

Pursuant to the Focused Audit Implementation Plan approved by the New Jersey Board of Regulatory Commissioners (BRC) regarding operations and intercompany relationships between PSE&G and EDHI, in 1993 Enterprise agreed with the BRC, among other things, that it will not permit its investment in EDHI to exceed 20% of its consolidated assets without prior notice to the 21

(See Note 2 - Rate Matters and Note 12 Commission ( 1992 Settlement), PSE&G's earnings available to

- Commitments and Contingent Liabilities of Notes to Enterprise increased by $166 million. The principal contributing Consolidated Financial Statements.) factors to the increase in earnings available to Enterprise were PSE&G's higher electric and gas base rates that became effective January I, 1993 and a substantial increase in electric kilowatthour sales. (See PSE&G Electric and Gas Revenues, below.) The increase in electric sales was primarily due to the abnormally warm weath-er. Partially offsetting the increase in earnings were higher other operation expenses (comprised primarily of labor and employee benefits costs and miscellaneous nuclear production costs), higher depreciation and amortization and higher Federal income taxes resulting from increased pre-tax operating income and an increase in the Federal corporate income tax rate, effective January 1993.

(See Note 9 - Federal Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

In 1992, excluding the $33 million net effect of the 1992 Settlement, PSE&G's earnings available to Enterprise declined by

$105 million. This d~cline was principally due to the 1.7% decrease in electric kilowatthour sales resulting from significantly cooler weather during 1992 and higher other operation expenses (com-prised primarily of labor and employee benefits costs and miscella-22

In April 1993, PSE&G paid $899 million (its 1992 NJGRT plus 50% of its estimat-ed 1993 NJGRT). In April 1994, PSE&G will be required to pay approximately $850 million (the remainder of its 1993 NJGRT plus its 1994 estimated NJGRT).

Partially offsetting these cash inflows were inventory increases in fuel and materials and supplies and decreases in deferred income taxes.
