ALLEGHENY ENERGY, INC.
COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Allegheny Energy, Inc. (AE) together with its consolidated subsidiaries (Allegheny), should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on the combined Form 10-K of Allegheny Energy, Inc.; Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC; Monongahela Power Company; The Potomac Edison Company; West Penn Power Company; and Allegheny Generating Company for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The interim financial statements included herein have been prepared by Allegheny, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002; cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002; and financial position at March 31, 2003, and December 31, 2002. Because of the seasonal nature of Allegheny's utility operations at Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For more information on the seasonal nature, see Part I, Item 1, Risk Factors, Other Risk Factors Associated with Our Business, in Allegheny's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As discussed in the Quarterly Financial Information notes in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (See Note 24 for Allegheny, Note 21 for AE Supply and Monongahela, Note 16 for Potomac Edison, Note 14 for West Penn, and Note 11 for AGC), results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002, have been restated as a result of Allegheny's Comprehensive Financial Review (See Note 2 for Allegheny, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn.) Accordingly, the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002, also have been restated.

Certain amounts in the December 31, 2002, consolidated balance sheets for Allegheny, AE Supply, and West Penn have been reclassified for comparative purposes.

Federal and State Income Taxes. The provisions for income tax (benefit) expense for (loss) earnings from operations result in an estimated annual effective income tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35 percent principally due to state income taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making, and certain non-deductible expenses.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation. Allegheny maintains a stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described in greater detail in Note 18, Stock-Based Compensation, to the consolidated financial statements of AE's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were no option grants issued during the first quarter of 2003.

Allegheny accounts for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation expense has been recognized in consolidated net loss, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price that equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant. Allegheny adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of SFAS No. 123," effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The following table illustrates the effect on consolidated net loss and earnings per share as if Allegheny had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."

NOTE 2: DEBT COVENANTS AND LIQUIDITY STRATEGY
Debt Covenants
Allegheny refinanced existing debt and issued new debt, on February 25, 2003, and March 13, 2003, as the result of its entry into the Borrowing Facilities, as described below. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for both Allegheny and AE Supply for additional information regarding the Borrowing Facilities. Issuance costs associated with the Borrowing Facilities totaled $46.6 million, of which $46.3 million has been deferred and will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the Borrowing Facilities. AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, and West Penn entered into agreements (Borrowing Facilities) totaling $2,447.8 million with various credit providers to refinance and restructure the bulk of AE and AE Supply's short−term debt. Following is a summary of the terms of the Borrowing Facilities: 1. Facilities at AE, Monongahela and West Penn:
·	A $305.0 million unsecured facility with AE, Monongahela, and West Penn as the designated borrowers, and under which AE has utilized the full facility amount. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) based rate plus a margin of five percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus four percent. This facility requires quarterly amortization payments of $7.5 million;
·	A $25.0 million unsecured credit facility at AE. This facility had an interest rate of a designated money center bank's base rate plus four percent and was retired in July 2003; and
·	A $10.0 million unsecured credit facility at Monongahela. This facility was subsequently renegotiated as part of a $55 million revolving facility, of which $53.6 million was drawn. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for additional information.
32

2. Facilities at AE Supply:
·	A $987.7 million credit facility (the Refinancing Credit Facility) at AE Supply, of which $893.4 million is secured by substantially all of the assets of AE Supply. Borrowings under the facility bear initial interest at a LIBOR−based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus a margin of five percent on the secured portion. The interest rate margin applicable to unsecured borrowings under the facility is 10.5 percent. This facility requires amortization payments of approximately $23.6 million in September 2004, and $117.8 million in December 2004, and matures in April 2005;
·	A $470.0 million credit facility, of which $420.0 million was committed and is outstanding and $50.0 million is no longer committed. The facility is secured by substantially all of AE Supply's assets. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a LIBOR−based rate plus six percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus a margin of five percent. This facility requires an amortization payment of $250.0 million in December 2003 and payment of the balance of $170.0 million in September 2004; and
·	A $270.1 million credit facility (the Springdale Credit Facility) associated with the financing of the construction of AE Supply's new generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania, and which is secured by a combination of that facility and substantially all of AE Supply's assets. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a LIBOR−based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus a margin of five percent on the portion secured by substantially all of AE Supply's assets. The interest rate margin applicable to the remainder of the borrowings under the facility is 10.5 percent. This facility requires amortization payments of $6.4 million in September 2004, and $32.2 million in December 2004, and matures in April 2005.
In addition, $380.0 million of indebtedness related to the discontinued St. Joseph, Indiana generating project, in the form of A−Notes, was restructured and assumed by AE Supply. Of this debt, $343.7 million is secured by substantially all of the assets of AE Supply, other than its new generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania. The secured portion of this debt bears an interest rate of 10.25 percent, and the unsecured portion bears interest at 13.0 percent. This debt matures in November 2007. The $420.0 million committed and borrowed by AE Supply under the $470.0 million facility represents new liquidity. The Borrowing Facilities at AE Supply also refinanced $1,637.8 million of existing debt and letters of credit, including $894.9 million outstanding under various credit agreements, and $270.1 million outstanding related to the construction of AE Supply's generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania, which went into commercial operation in July 2003. The Borrowing Facilities at AE, Monongahela, and West Penn refinanced $340.0 million of existing debt and letters of credit. Until August 1, 2003, after certain conditions associated with securing the collateral under the Borrowing Facilities were met on July 19, 2003, the LIBOR component charged AE Supply under the Borrowing Facilities with respect to secured borrowings had a two percent floor. Also, since AE Supply was unable to secure all of the Borrowing Facilities and the restructured A−Note debt before July 31, 2003, the interest rates charged on the amounts not so secured increased to a spread of 10.5 percent over the applicable LIBOR−based rate, which contains a two percent floor for unsecured borrowings, or the
33

designated money center bank's base rate for the Refinancing Credit Facility and the Springdale Credit Facility, and the interest rate increased to 13.0 percent for the unsecured portion of the $380.0 million A−Note debt retroactively to February 25, 2003, the closing date of the Borrowing Facilities. The total amounts unsecured under the Refinancing Credit Facility, the Springdale Credit Facility and the A−Note debt are approximately $94.3 million, $175.8 million and $36.3 million, respectively.

AE Supply utilized $2,057.8 million under the Borrowing Facilities and the restructured A−Notes. Of the total, either AE Supply's new generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania or substantially all of AE Supply's assets secures $1,927.2 million. A covenant in AE Supply's public debt places limitations, with certain exceptions, upon the issuance of secured debt. This limitation will constrain AE Supply's ability to borrow additional funds until outstanding secured debt is reduced.

The interest rates payable by AE Supply under certain parts of the Borrowing Facilities are tied to AE Supply's credit ratings. Should AE Supply's credit ratings improve from its current ratings to certain specified higher ratings, the rate of interest AE Supply would be required to pay under the Refinanced Credit Facility and the Springdale Credit Facility could decrease by 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent for the secured portion of those credit facilities.

Allegheny is required to meet certain financial tests, as defined in the Borrowing Facilities agreements, including:
·	fixed−charge coverage ratio of 1.10 through the first quarter of 2005; and
·	maximum debt−to−capital ratio of 75 percent in 2003 and 72 percent from 2004 through the first quarter of 2005.
AE Supply also is required to meet certain financial tests, as defined in the Borrowing Facilities agreements, including:
·	minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the agreements, of $100.0 million by June 30, 2003, increasing to $304.0 million by December 31, 2003, to $430.0 million in increments for the 12 months ending each quarter through the first quarter of 2005;
·	interest coverage ratio of not less than 0.75 through June 30, 2003, increasing to 1.10 by December 31, 2003, 1.50 by December 31, 2004, through the first quarter of 2005; and
·	minimum net worth of $800.0 million (subject to downward adjustment under specific circumstances).
Effective July 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply were granted waivers from compliance with all of the above financial tests for the first and second quarters of 2003. Effective August 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply received additional waivers of the financial tests for the third quarter of 2003. The Borrowing Facilities also have provisions requiring prepayments out of the proceeds of asset sales and debt and equity issuances, as follows:
·	75 percent of the net proceeds of sales of assets of Allegheny (excluding AE Supply and its subsidiaries) up to $400.0 million, and 100 percent thereafter;
·	75 percent of the net proceeds of sales of assets of AE Supply and its subsidiaries up to $800.0 million, and 100 percent thereafter, excluding AE Supply's new facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania;
34

·	100 percent of the net proceeds of any sale of AE Supply's new facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania;
·	100 percent of the net proceeds of debt issuances (excluding specified exemptions, including an exemption of up to $50.0 million for the Distribution Companies and refinancings meeting certain criteria);
·	100 percent of net proceeds from equity issuances;
·	50 percent of Allegheny's (excluding AE Supply and its subsidiaries) excess cash flow (as defined in the Borrowing Facilities); and
·	50 percent of AE Supply's excess cash flow (as defined in the Borrowing Facilities).
The Borrowing Facilities also contain restrictive covenants that limit Allegheny's ability to: borrow funds; incur liens; enter into a merger or other change of control transaction; sell assets; make investments; prepay indebtedness; amend contracts; pay dividends and other distributions on Allegheny's equity; and operate Allegheny's business, by requiring it to adhere to an agreed business plan. Substantially all of the debt of AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC remains classified as current, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 86-30, "Classification of Obligations When a Violation is Waived by the Creditor," as the result of noncompliance with certain financial reporting covenants. Allegheny and AE Supply have obtained waivers of these covenants for each of the quarterly reporting periods through and including September 30, 2003. For the debt obligations at Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC, the classification as current is the result of noncompliance with certain reporting requirements in their various indenture agreements. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, and Note 2, Debt Covenants, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for AGC for additional information regarding the nature of these financial reporting covenant violations. The debt holders have not provided Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC with any notices of default under the agreements. Such notices, if received, would allow Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC either 30 or 60 days to cure their respective noncompliance before the debt holders could accelerate the due dates of the debt obligations. On September 29, 2003, Mountaineer obtained waivers with respect to its Note Purchase Agreements extending the respective agreements' covenant due dates for the 2002 annual audited financial statements until October 31, 2003. Also, Mountaineer has obtained waivers for the delivery of its unaudited financial statements to the noteholders for the first, second, and third quarters of 2003. Mountaineer provided its 2002 annual audited financial statements to noteholders on October 31, 2003. Mountaineer is required to deliver the first quarter 2003 unaudited financial statements by December 30, 2003. The second and third quarter 2003 unaudited financial statements are required to be delivered by February 1, 2004. These dates both include a 30-day grace period that is provided under the Note Purchase Agreements.

Liquidity Strategy

Allegheny has prepared its financial statements assuming that it will continue as a going concern. However, Allegheny's noncompliance with certain of its reporting obligations under its debt covenants (described above) and the resultant classification of certain debt as current has caused its independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, to issue a modified opinion on the financial statements, within the 2002 Annual Report, that indicates there is substantial doubt about Allegheny's ability to continue as a going concern (a "Going Concern" opinion). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of this uncertainty.

Allegheny is in the process of preparing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003, and September 30, 2002, and will file such reports as soon as they are available. Thereafter, Allegheny plans to file its subsequent public financial reports on a timely basis.

Allegheny has adopted a long−term strategy of focusing on the core generation and T&D businesses in which it has been historically engaged. Allegheny will seek, consistent with regulatory constraints, to manage its business lines as an integrated whole. Implementing this strategy will be a significant challenge, in part, because of the continuing legacy of past transactions that have negatively affected Allegheny's operations and financial condition.

Allegheny has taken a number of recent actions to improve its financial condition. These steps include substantial senior management changes; completion of key financing transactions, including the refinancing of principal credit facilities (as discussed above); exiting from Western United States energy markets; refocusing trading activities; asset sales; restructuring and cost−reducing initiatives; and improving internal controls and reporting.

Private Placement: On July 24, 2003, Allegheny obtained $291 million ($275 million after deducting various fees and placement agents' commissions) from the issuance to a special purpose finance subsidiary of AE, Allegheny Capital Trust I (Capital Trust), of units consisting of $300 million principal amount of 11 7/8 percent Notes due 2008 and warrants for the purchase of up to 25 million shares of AE's common stock, exercisable at $12 per share. The warrants are mandatorily exercisable if AE's common stock price equals or exceeds $15 per share over a specified averaging period occurring after June 15, 2006. The warrants are stapled to the notes and may be exercised only through the tender of the notes. The finance subsidiary obtained proceeds required to purchase the units by issuing $300 million liquidation amount of its 11 7/8 percent Mandatorily−Convertible Trust Preferred Securities to investors in a private placement. The holder of a preferred security is entitled to distributions on a corresponding principal amount of notes and may direct the exercise of warrants stapled to the notes in order to convert the preferred securities into AE common stock. AE guarantees Capital Trust's payment obligations under the preferred securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," Allegheny's consolidated balance sheet will reflect the Notes as long−term debt. The Notes and AE's guarantee of Capital Trust's payment obligations are subordinated only to indebtedness arising under the agreements governing certain of AE's indebtedness under the Borrowing Facilities.

Exiting from Western United States Energy Markets: Allegheny worked through 2003 to accomplish AE Supply's effective exit from the Western United States energy markets. Its positions based in the Western United States had been a substantial source of earnings and cash flow volatility and risk, and trading in these markets does not fit with Allegheny's new business model.

Renegotiation and Sale of CDWR Contract. In June 2003, AE Supply entered into a settlement agreement with the State of California to resolve the state's litigation regarding its power supply contracts with the CDWR. The terms of the settlement reduced the volume of power to be delivered from 2005−2011 and reduced the sale price of off−peak power to be delivered from 2004−2011, which

in turn substantially reduced the value of the contract. (See Notes 26 and 23 of AE's and AE Supply's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, respectively, under "Other Litigation−CDWR" for additional information). On September 15, 2003, Allegheny closed the sale of the CDWR contract and associated hedge transactions, to J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., for approximately $354 million. Allegheny has applied $214 million of the sale proceeds to required payments under agreements entered into to terminate tolling agreements with Williams Energy Marketing and Trading Company (Williams) and Las Vegas Cogeneration II (LV Cogen), a unit of Black Hills Corporation, as described below. Allegheny will apply an additional $28 million of the proceeds to make required payments in March and September of 2004 under the agreement with Williams. Approximately $26 million is being held in a pledged account for the benefit of AE Supply's creditors. This arrangement is intende d to enhance AE Supply's ability to refinance certain unsecured borrowings. Approximately $71 million of the sale proceeds were placed in escrow for the benefit of J. Aron & Company, pending Allegheny's fulfillment of certain post−closing requirements. When the escrowed funds are released, approximately $50 million will be added to the pledged account and AE Supply will receive the balance. The remaining $15 million of sale proceeds have been used to partially offset certain of the hedges related to the CDWR contract and to pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction.

Agreement to Terminate Williams Toll. In July 2003, AE Supply entered into a conditional agreement with Williams to terminate its 1,000 MW tolling agreement with Williams. Under the agreement, AE Supply made an initial payment to Williams of approximately $2.4 million to satisfy certain amounts under a related hedge agreement. Allegheny made a $100 million payment to Williams after the close of the sale of the CDWR contract. Allegheny will make two payments of $14 million to Williams in March and September of 2004. The tolling agreement will terminate when the final $14 million payment is made.

Termination of LV Cogen Toll. In mid−September, 2003, AE Supply terminated its 222 MW tolling agreement with LV Cogen. Allegheny made a $114 million termination payment to LV Cogen after the closing of the sale of the CDWR contract.

In July and August 2003, AE Supply contracted for the sale of the CDWR contract and related hedges to J. Aron & Company and for the termination of tolling agreements with Williams and LV Cogen. As of December 31, 2002, and March 31, 2003, the fair value of the CDWR contract and the related hedges plus the Williams and LV Cogen tolling agreements was $525.7 million and $447.8 million, respectively, resulting in an unrealized loss of $77.9 million. Note 3 of the 2002 Annual Report included on Form 10-K, for both AE and AE Supply, reported a fair value at December 31, 2002 of $554.5 million; however, primarily due to counterparty modifications, the fair value of the CDWR contract and the related hedges plus the Williams and LV Cogen tolling agreements as of December 31, 2002, has been revised to $525.7 million. This had no impact on other previously disclosed amounts.

From January 1, 2003, through the date that these contracts were either sold or agreements were reached to terminate the contracts, the aggregate fair value of the contracts decreased by approximately $435 million. As a result of the sale of the CDWR contract and related hedges and the agreements to terminate the Williams and LV Cogen tolling agreements in the third quarter of 2003, Allegheny incurred a net

loss of approximately $50 million, before income taxes. This loss was determined excluding the approximately $71 million of sale proceeds that were placed in escrow pending Allegheny's fulfillment of certain post−closing requirements.

After completing these major transactions, Allegheny's remaining trading exposures to the Western United States energy markets consisted of several shorter−term trades that hedged the CDWR contract and several long−term hedges of the LV Cogen tolling agreement. Allegheny subsequently entered into agreements to close-out these remaining open positions.

Refocusing Trading Activities: Adoption of Asset−Based Trading Strategy. AE Supply is reorienting its trading operations from high−volume financial trading in national markets to asset optimization and hedging within its region. AE Supply is implementing this rebalancing over time as its liquidity allows. Effectively exiting the Western United States energy markets, together with unwinding substantial non−core trading positions, has enabled AE Supply to reduce long−term trading−related cash outflows and collateral obligations. In the future, AE Supply will seek to concentrate its efforts in the PJM, Midwest, and Mid−Atlantic markets where it has a physical presence and greater market knowledge. Ultimately, AE Supply intends to conduct asset optimization and hedging activities with the primary objective of locking in cash flows associated with AE Supply's portfolio of core physical generating and load positions.

Relocation of Trading Operations. AE Supply moved its energy marketing operations from New York to Monroeville, Pennsylvania, on May 5, 2003, and has reduced its trading operations. This transition will result in ongoing cost savings and improve integration with AE Supply's generation activity. The reduced staffing levels are intended to reflect the newly revised focus of the trading function. Management believes that both trading and marketing and generation operations can be enhanced by locating trading personnel closer to personnel managing AE Supply's generating assets. Personnel involved in the separate functions can be cross−trained and will be better positioned to enhance the relationship between the two functions.

Asset Sales: In 2002, Allegheny announced that it was considering asset sales as part of an overall strategy to address its liquidity requirements. Allegheny has achieved the sale of its most significant assets with a nexus to the Western United States. Allegheny has also closed the sale of its interest in the Conemaugh Generating Station (Conemaugh), as described below. Allegheny continues to consider the sale of additional assets, especially non−core assets, including Mountaineer.

Land Sales. Effective February 14, 2002, West Penn, through its subsidiary West Virginia Power and Transmission Company, sold 12,000 acres of land in Canaan Valley, W.Va., to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for $16 million. Effective December 18, 2002, it also sold a 2,468−acre tract of land for $6.9 million and made a charitable contribution of a 740 acre tract in Canaan Valley, W.Va., to Canaan Valley Institute.

Fellon−McCord and Alliance Services, LLC. Effective December 31, 2002, AE sold Fellon−McCord, its natural gas and electricity consulting and management services firm, and Alliance Energy Services, LLC, (Alliance Energy Services) a provider of natural gas supply and transportation services, to Constellation Energy Group for approximately $21.8 million.

Conemaugh Generating Station. On June 27, 2003, AE Supply completed the sale of its 83 MW share of the coal−fired Conemaugh Generating Station, located near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to a subsidiary of

UGI Development Corporation, (UGI), for approximately $46.3 million, which does not include a contingent amount of $5 million. This contingent amount could be received in full, in part, or not at all, depending upon AE Supply's performance of certain post−closing obligations.

Restructuring and Cost−Reducing Initiatives: Allegheny has taken several actions to align its operations with its strategy and reduce its cost structure.

Termination of Non−Core Construction Activity. In 2002, AE Supply ceased construction and planning of various merchant generation projects to attempt to conserve cash and other resources and focus its resources on its core generating assets.

Restructuring of Operations. In July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan intended to strengthen its financial performance by, among other things, reducing its workforce. Allegheny has achieved workforce reductions of more than 10 percent through a voluntary Early Retirement Option (ERO) program and selected staff reductions. In 2002, approximately 600 eligible employees accepted the ERO program resulting in a charge of $82.6 million, before income taxes. Allegheny will continue to take actions intended to reduce costs and improve productivity in all of its operations.

Suspension of Dividends. The Board of Directors of AE determined not to declare a dividend on AE's common stock for the fourth quarter of 2002. Covenants contained in Allegheny's new Borrowing Facilities entered into in February 2003, and in the indenture entered into in connection with the convertible trust preferred securities issuance in July 2003, as well as regulatory limitations under PUHCA, are expected to preclude AE from declaring or paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Elimination of Preemptive Rights. On March 14, 2003, AE's common stockholders approved an amendment to AE's articles of incorporation eliminating common stockholders' preemptive rights. The elimination of preemptive rights removes an obstacle to AE's ability to privately place equity or convertible securities.

Improving Internal Controls and Reporting: Comprehensive Accounting Review. Commencing in the third quarter of 2002, Allegheny undertook a comprehensive and extended review of its financial information and internal controls and procedures. This review included extensive involvement by top management and directors, independent auditors and other outside service firms. Allegheny continues to address its controls environment and reporting procedures, as well as its SEC filing and other outstanding reporting obligations. See Part I, Item 4, "Controls and Procedures," for a detailed discussion.

Associated Risks: There are many attendant risks, both with Allegheny's current liquidity situation and the measures that have been undertaken to remedy the situation in the short−term. These risks can be viewed as liquidity risks associated with the Borrowing Facilities, asset sales risks, and risks associated with the restructuring.

Liquidity Risks Associated with the Borrowing Facilities: These risks would include increased interest rate risk and additional borrowing costs. Also, required prepayments under the Borrowing Facilities will absorb a large portion of future estimated cash flows and will limit Allegheny's ability to raise capital for purposes other than debt repayment.

Asset Sales Risks: If asset sales do occur, it is likely that they would not be at terms as favorable as the market conditions existing when the assets were originally acquired. This situation could expose Allegheny to a loss in value on those assets.

Restructuring Risks: In association with the workforce reductions, winding−down and relocation of the energy trading operations, and the cancellation of construction projects, Allegheny is faced with the risk of losing experienced personnel, diverting management resources away from continuing operations, and failing to realize anticipated cost reductions.

There is no guarantee that Allegheny will be able to complete its plan to strengthen its liquidity in the short−term and move to its longer−term strategy of remaining an integrated energy company with a focus on its fundamental power generation and delivery businesses.

In 2003, Allegheny's cash flows are expected to be adequate to meet all of its payment obligations and to fund capital expenditures. Allegheny expects that cash flows from operations will not be sufficient in 2004 to cover future obligations, including its capital expenditure requirements. Allegheny expects that it will need to sell certain assets or arrange for alternative financing in order to repay the principal amounts under the Borrowing Facilities scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2004.

NOTE 3: ENERGY TRADING ACTIVITIES

As of January 1, 2003, EITF Issue No. 02-3, "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management," resulted in a change in the Company's accounting for certain commodity contracts related to AE Supply's energy trading activities. AE Supply analyzed its commodity contracts to determine which contracts are derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133. The contracts determined to be derivatives continue to be recorded at their fair value.

As a result of the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-3, AE Supply recorded a charge against earnings of $12.1 million, net of income taxes ($19.7 million, before income taxes) as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle on January 1, 2003. This charge represents the fair value of those contracts previously accounted for under EITF Issue No. 98-10, "Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," that no longer qualify for mark-to-market accounting. Under EITF Issue No. 02-3, mark-to-market accounting is precluded for energy trading contracts that are not derivatives pursuant to SFAS No. 133.

The net fair value of AE Supply's commodity contracts decreased by $75.9 million as a result of $45.2 million of net unrealized losses recorded during the first quarter of 2003 primarily due to changes in market conditions, $19.7 million for the cumulative effect of adopting EITF No. 02-3 effective January 1, 2003, and $11.0 million in option premium expirations. There has been, and may continue to be, significant volatility in the market prices for electricity and natural gas at the wholesale level, which will impact AE Supply's operating results.

NOTE 4: ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AE Supply had the following assets held for sale at March 31, 2003, and December 31, 2002:
(In millions)	March 31 2003	December 31 2002
Conemaugh Generating Station	$45.8	$---
Turbine/Generator set from a cancelled project	8.0	9.3
Total	$53.8	$9.3
In September 2002 AE Supply cancelled the planned construction of a 79 MW barge-mounted generation project. As a result of AE Supply's decision to sell the turbine/generator set that was acquired for this project, the investment in the turbine/generator set was classified as an asset held for sale and written down to its estimated fair value in the third quarter of 2002. The sale of the turbine/generator set was completed in August 2003. In February 2003, a subsidiary of AE Supply entered into an agreement to sell its 83 MW share of the coal-fired Conemaugh Generating Station (Conemaugh) to UGI Development Company (UGI) for approximately $46.3 million. As a result, AE Supply has written down its investment in Conemaugh to approximately $45.8 million, which represents the agreed upon sales price less estimated costs to sell the asset. This write-down resulted in a loss of approximately $28.5 million, before income taxes, which was recorded in operation expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003. In June 2003, the agreement was modified to include $5.0 million for contingent consideration, bringing the total purchase price to $51.3 million. The loss above does not include any amounts of contingent compensation. The sale of Conemaugh was completed in June 2003. AE Supply's assets held for sale are included in Allegheny's generation and marketing segment.

NOTE 5: GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS There have been no changes in goodwill from the period December 31, 2002, to March 31, 2003. The components of other intangible assets, excluding an intangible asset of $38.6 million related to an additional minimum pension liability (see Note 17 of AE's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K), were as follows:
	March 31 2003		December 31 2002
(In millions)	Gross Carrying Amount	Accumulated Amortization	Gross Carrying Amount	Accumulated Amortization
Included in Property, Plant, and Equipment on the consolidated balance sheets:
Land easements, amortizable	$ 97.0	$24.4	$ 97.0	$24.1
Land easements, unamortizable	31.6	--	31.6	--
Natural gas rights	6.6	3.6	6.6	3.5
Total	$135.2	$28.0	$135.2	$27.6
Amortization of intangible assets was $0.4 million and $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. Amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2003 does not
41

include amortization of $14.3 million related to Alliance Energy Services, which was sold December 31, 2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the $0.4 million of amortization was comprised primarily of approximately $0.2 million for Potomac Edison, and approximately $0.1 million, each, for both West Penn and Monongahela.

Amortization expense is estimated to be $1.5 million annually for 2004 through 2008.

NOTE 6: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Allegheny utilizes derivative instruments to manage its exposures to various market risks as described in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following information supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, Note 4, Energy Trading Activities, and Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the consolidated financial statements in Allegheny's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

For the three months ended March 31, 2003, Allegheny did not have any instruments that were designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. AE Supply records commodity contracts related to energy trading that are derivative instruments at their fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133. See Note 3, Energy Trading Activities.

NOTE 7: OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Allegheny's comprehensive income and the components of other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, were as follows:

NOTE 9: ACCOUNTING FOR THE EFFECTS OF PRICE DEREGULATION Allegheny's reserve for adverse power purchase commitments, which is recorded entirely on West Penn's consolidated balance sheet, decreased as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002:
	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)		2003	Restated 2002
Decrease in adverse power purchase commitments		$4.8	$5.8

Allegheny follows EITF Issue No. 97−4, "Deregulation of the Pricing of Electricity-Issues Related to the Application of FASB Statement Nos. 71 and 101," which provides that, when a rate order is issued that contains sufficient detail for the enterprise to reasonably determine how the transition plan will affect the separable portion of its business whose pricing is being deregulated, the entity should cease to apply SFAS No. 71 to that separable portion of its business.

As required by EITF Issue No. 97−4, Monongahela and Potomac Edison discontinued the application of SFAS No. 71 for their West Virginia jurisdiction's electric generation operations in the first quarter of 2000 and for their Ohio and Virginia jurisdictions' electric generation operations in the fourth quarter of 2000.

As described in Notes 14, 10, and 7 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for AE, Monongahela, and Potomac Edison, respectively, the provisions of SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation," were reapplied to Monongahela's West Virginia jurisdictional generating assets in the first quarter of 2003. Upon reapplication of SFAS No. 71, Monongahela and Potomac Edison recorded gains of $61.7 million and $14.1 million, respectively, in Other Income and Expenses, Net in their consolidated statements of operations, primarily as a result of the elimination of rate stabilization reserve and the reestablishment of regulatory assets related to deferred income taxes and deferred losses on reacquired debt.

As of December 31, 2002, Allegheny had no generating assets subject to SFAS No. 71. As a result of the reapplication of SFAS No. 71 in the first quarter of 2003, Monongahela's generating assets are now subject to SFAS No. 71. Allegheny's consolidated balance sheets include the amounts listed below for generating assets not subject to SFAS No. 71.

(In millions)		March 31 2003	December 31 2002
Property, plant, and equipment	$4,013.4		$4,604.8
Amounts under construction included above	473.5		291.4

NOTE 12: ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Effective January 1, 2003, Allegheny adopted SFAS No. 143, which provides accounting and disclosure requirements for retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets. SFAS No. 143 requires that the fair value of asset retirement costs for which Allegheny has a legal obligation be recorded as liabilities, with an equivalent amount added to the asset cost. The liability is accreted (increased) to its present value each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an entity settles the obligation for its recorded amount or records a gain or loss if it is settled at a different amount.

Allegheny recorded retirement obligations primarily related to ash landfills, underground and aboveground storage tanks, and natural gas wells. Allegheny also has identified a number of retirement obligations associated with certain other assets that have not been recorded, because the

fair value of such obligations cannot be reasonably estimated, due primarily to the indeterminate lives of the assets.

The effect of adopting SFAS No. 143 on Allegheny's consolidated statement of operations was a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease net income by $8.6 million ($14.0 million, before income taxes). The effect of adopting SFAS No. 143 on Allegheny's consolidated balance sheet was a $3.4 million increase in property, plant, and equipment, net, a $2.3 million increase in non-current regulatory assets, and the recognition of a $19.7 million in non-current liabilities. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 143 on Allegheny's subsidiaries, which was recorded in the period ended March 31, 2003, was as follows:

	Effect of Adopting SFAS No. 143 Increase (Decrease)
(In millions)	Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net	Non-Current Regulatory Asset	Non-Current Liabilities (AROs)	Pre-Tax Income	After-Tax Income
AE Supply	$ .3	$ --	$12.2	$(11.9)	$(7.4)
Monongahela	3.0	2.3	6.1	(.8)	(.4)
Potomac Edison	.1	--	.2	(.1)	(.1)
West Penn	--	--	1.2	(1.2)	(.7)
AGC	--	--	--	--	--
Total Allegheny	$3.4	$2.3	$19.7	$(14.0)	$(8.6)

With respect to property, plant, and equipment at Monongahela for which Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO) were identified and cost of removal currently is being recovered through rates, Allegheny believes it is probable that any difference between expenses under SFAS No. 143 and expenses recovered currently in rates will be recoverable in future rates and is deferring such expenses as a regulatory asset.

During the three months ended March 31, 2003, Allegheny's ARO balance increased $0.6 million of which $0.5 million related to AE Supply, from $19.7 million at January 1, 2003, to $20.3 million at March 31, 2003, due to accretion expense.

Allegheny's regulated utility subsidiaries have recorded in accumulated depreciation the removal costs collected from customers related to assets that do not have associated retirement obligations under SFAS No. 143. These estimated removal costs, which represent a regulatory liability (asset) and remain in accumulated depreciation, were as follows at March 31, 2003: $219.9 million for Monongahela, $148.7 million for Potomac Edison, and ($7.9) million for West Penn, which totaled $360.7 million. Total estimated removal costs included in Allegheny's accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2002, were $356.5 million.

Had the provisions of SFAS No. 143 been adopted on January 1, 2002, there would not be a material impact on Allegheny's consolidated net loss before cumulative effect of accounting change, consolidated net loss, and earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2002.

NOTE 13: GUARANTEES

In November 2002, the FASB issued FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others," which requires disclosures by a guarantor concerning its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. FIN 45 also requires recognizing, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee. The recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.

Allegheny has not provided or modified any guarantees during the first three months of 2003 that would require recognition as a liability in its consolidated financial statements in accordance with FIN 45.

At March 31, 2003, Allegheny has provided guarantees, either directly or indirectly, of $105.2 million for contractual obligations of affiliated companies, as discussed by major category below. This does not include letters of credit. Under the terms of the guarantees, Allegheny would be required to perform should an affiliate be in default of its obligation, generally for an amount not to exceed the amount disclosed. The term of these guarantees coincide with the term of the underlying agreement. There are no amounts being carried as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for Allegheny's obligations under these guarantees.

Of the guarantees provided to third parties, approximately $57.9 million relate to guarantees associated with the purchase, sale, exchange, or transportation of wholesale natural gas, electric power, and related services. Allegheny provided loan guarantees of $42.8 million to third parties for loans and other financing related guarantees. Allegheny provided guarantees of $4.5 million to third parties pursuant to two lease agreements that were signed in 2001 and 2002.

In July of 2003, AE Supply provided an indemnification to the purchaser of its CDWR contract in the event that an unfavorable outcome of certain litigation has a negative impact on the value of the CDWR contract. Allegheny is evaluating whether this indemnification will be required to be recorded as a liability in accordance with FIN 45 with any impact being recognized in the third quarter of 2003.

NOTE 14: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

There has been no change with respect to Allegheny's initial assessment of the potential effect of applying FIN 46, as discussed in Commitments and Contingencies, (See Note 26 for AE; Note 23 for AE Supply and Monongahela; Note 18 for Potomac Edison; and Note 16 for West Penn) to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been no impact during the three months ended March 31, 2003, from the adoption of FIN 46, and Allegheny continues to evaluate the potential effect of FIN 46.

NOTE 15: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Environmental Matters and Litigation

Allegheny is subject to various laws, regulations, and uncertainties as to environmental matters. Compliance may require Allegheny to incur substantial additional costs to modify or replace existing and proposed equipment and facilities and may adversely affect the cost of future operations.

Clean Air Act and CAAA Matters: In 1998, the EPA finalized its Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) State Implementation Plan (SIP) call rule (known as the NOx SIP call) to address the regional transport of ground-level ozone that requires the equivalent of a uniform 0.15 lb/mmBtu emission rate throughout a 22-state region, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, beginning in May 2003. Allegheny's compliance with such stringent regulations has required and will require the installation of expensive post-combustion control technologies on most of its power stations. During 2000, Pennsylvania and Maryland promulgated final rules to implement the EPA's NOx SIP call requirements, beginning in May 2003. During 2001, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection issued a final rule to implement the EPA's NOx SIP call requirements, beginning in May 2004. The EPA approved the West Virginia SIP in July of 2002. The EPA's NOx SIP call had been subject to litigation but, in 2000, t he D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision that upheld the regulation. The court issued a subsequent order that postponed the initial compliance date of the NOx SIP call from May 2003 to May 2004. Maryland and Pennsylvania did not delay the May 2003 implementation dates of their respective SIP, nor are they legally required to do so. AE Supply and Monongahela are in the process of installing NOx controls to meet the Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia SIP. AE Supply and Monongahela also have the option to purchase, in some cases, alternate fuels, NOx allowances, or power on the market, if needed, to supplement their compliance strategy. AE Supply and Monongahela expect to be in compliance with NOx limits established by the SIP. Allegheny's construction forecast includes the expenditure of $35.8 million of capital costs during the 2003 through 2004 period for NOx emission controls.

In August 2000, AE received a letter from the EPA requesting that it provide information and documentation relevant to the operation and maintenance of the following 10 electric generating stations, collectively including 22 generating units: Albright, Armstrong, Fort Martin, Harrison, Hatfield's Ferry, Mitchell, Pleasants, Rivesville, R. Paul Smith, and Willow Island. AE Supply and Monongahela own these electric generating stations. The letter requested information under Section 114 of the Clean Air Act to determine compliance with the Clean Air Act and related requirements, including potential application of the new source review standards, which can require the installation of additional air pollution control equipment upon the major modification of an existing facility. Responsive submissions were made during 2000 and 2001. In July 2002, AE received a follow-up letter from the EPA requesting clarifying information. AE provided responsive information.

Similar inquiries have been made of other electric utilities and have resulted in enforcement proceedings being brought in most cases. AE believes that its subsidiaries' generating facilities have been operated in accordance with the Clean Air Act and the rules implementing it. The experience of other energy companies, however, suggests that, in recent years, the EPA has narrowed its view regarding the scope of the definition of "routine maintenance" under its rules, thereby broadening the range of actions subject to compliance with new source review standards. Under previous EPA interpretations, these same actions did not trigger application of those standards. Section 114 information requests concerning facility modifications are often followed by enforcement actions. The EPA contacted AE and requested a meeting, which was held on July 16, 2003.

At this time, AE is not able to determine what effect the EPA's inquiry may have on its operations. If new source review standards are applied to Allegheny's generating stations, in addition to the possible

imposition of fines, compliance would entail significant expenditures. However, the recent preliminary judicial decision in the EPA vs. Duke Energy case, as well as the final Routine Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement Rule recently released by the EPA, are more consistent with the energy industry's historical compliance approach. Therefore, at this time, AE and its subsidiaries are not able to determine the effect these actions may have on them with regard to compliance costs.

The Attorneys General of New York and Connecticut, in letters dated September 15, 1999, and November 3, 1999, respectively, notified AE of their intent to commence civil actions against AE and/or its subsidiaries alleging violations at the Fort Martin Power Station under the federal Clean Air Act, which requires power plants that make major modifications to comply with the same New Source Review emission standards applicable to new power plants. Other governmental agencies may commence similar actions in the future. Fort Martin Power Station is located in West Virginia and is now jointly owned by AE Supply and Monongahela. Both Attorneys General stated their intent to seek injunctive relief and penalties. In addition, the Attorney General of the State of New York indicated that he may assert claims under the state common law of public nuisance seeking to recover, among other things, compensation for alleged environmental damage caused in New York by the operation of the Fort Martin Power Station. At this tim e, AE and its subsidiaries are not able to determine what effect, if any, these actions may have on them.

Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) Claim: On March 4, 1994, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn (the Distribution Companies) received notice that the EPA had identified them as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with respect to the Jack's Creek/Sitkin Smelting Superfund Site. Initially, approximately 175 PRPs were involved, however, the current number of active PRPs is approximately 80. The costs of remediation will be shared by all responsible parties. In 1999, a PRP group that included the Distribution Companies entered into a consent order with the EPA to remediate the site. It is currently estimated that the total remediation costs to be borne by all of the responsible parties will not exceed $30 million. However, Allegheny estimates that its share of the cleanup liability will not exceed $1.0 million, which has been accrued as a liability.

Claims Related to Alleged Asbestos Exposure: Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn have also been named as defendants along with multiple other defendants in pending asbestos cases involving multiple plaintiffs. While Allegheny believes that all of the cases are without merit, Allegheny cannot predict the outcome of the litigation. Allegheny has accrued a reserve of $4 million as of March 31, 2003, related to the asbestos cases as the potential cost to settle the cases to avoid the anticipated cost of defense. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, Allegheny did not receive any insurance recoveries related to these asbestos cases.

Other: As part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit review process at the Connellsville West Side facility, oil and PCB contamination has been noted at the facility. Steps have been taken to address the oil contamination and monitoring is continuing at the site. The internal investigation into the source of the oil is ongoing in accordance with several Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) programs. At June 30, 2003, the accrued liability balance was $0.8 million, as an estimate of the total remediation cost at the facility.

Other Litigation

Nevada Power Contracts: On December 7, 2001, Nevada Power Company (NPC) filed a complaint with the FERC against AE Supply, which sought FERC action to modify prices payable to AE Supply under three trade confirmations dated December 4, 2000, January 16, 2001, and February 7, 2001, between Merrill Lynch and NPC, and entered into under the Western Systems Power Pool Master Agreement. The transactions related to power sales during 2002. NPC's claim was based, in part, on the assertion that dysfunctional California spot markets had an adverse effect on the prices NPC was able to negotiate with AE Supply under the contracts. NPC filed substantially identical complaints against a number of other energy suppliers.

A hearing was held before a FERC administrative law judge (ALJ) in late 2002. On December 19, 2002, the ALJ issued findings that no contract modification was warranted on the grounds that dysfunctional California spot markets did not have an adverse effect on the contract prices. The ALJ determined in favor of NPC that AE Supply, rather than Merrill Lynch, was a proper subject of NPC's complaint.

On June 26, 2003, the FERC affirmed the ALJ's decision upholding the long-term contracts negotiated between NPC and AE Supply. The FERC did not render a decision on whether AE Supply was a legitimate party in interest to the three trade confirmations at issue.

On November 10, 2003, the FERC issued an order on rehearing and affirming its conclusion that the long-term contracts should not be modified. On July 3, 2003, Snohomish County filed a petition for review of the FERC's June 26 order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On July 30, 2003, the FERC filed a motion with the Ninth Circuit to, among other things, dismiss Snohomish's petition for review as "incurably premature." On August 18, 2003, AE Supply filed a Motion to Intervene Out-of-Time in that proceeding. On November 17, 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court ordered that the motion to dismiss be held in abeyance pending motions to be filed within 14 days of the FERC's decision regarding the requests for hearing. On November 19 and 20, 2003, three separate petitions for review of the FERC's orders in the NPC proceedings were filed with two different circuits, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On December 10, 2003, th e NPC petitions were consolidated in the Ninth Circuit. On December 17, 2003, AE Supply filed a motion in the Ninth Circuit to intervene in actions pending in the Snohomish County proceeding. AE Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Sierra/Nevada: On April 2, 2003, NPC and Sierra Pacific Resources, Inc., (together Sierra/Nevada) initiated a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Nevada against AE and AE Supply, together with Merrill Lynch & Co. and Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. (together, Merrill). The complaint alleged that Allegheny and Merrill engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with NPC's application to the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (Nevada PUC) for a deferred energy accounting adjustment, which allegedly caused the Nevada PUC to disallow $180.0 million of NPC's deferred energy expenses. Sierra/Nevada asserted three causes of action against Allegheny arising from the alleged fraudulent conduct. These include: (1) tortious interference with Sierra/Nevada's contractual and prospective economic advantages, (2) conspiracy, and (3) violations of the Nevada state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act. Sierra/Nevada filed an amended complaint on May 30, 2003, in which it asserted a fourth cause of action against Allegheny for wrongful hiring and

supervision. Sierra/Nevada seeks $180.0 million in compensatory damages plus attorneys fees. Under the RICO count, Sierra/Nevada seeks in excess of $850.0 million.

AE and AE Supply filed motions to dismiss the complaints on May 6, 2003, and June 23, 2003. Sierra/Nevada filed an opposition on July 21, 2003. AE and AE Supply filed a reply to Sierra/Nevada's opposition on August 11, 2003. AE and AE Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Settlement of Litigation Related to Power Supply Contracts with the CDWR: In March and April 2001, AE Supply entered into a ten-year and a one-year power sales agreements, pursuant to a master power purchase and sale agreement (together, the CDWR contracts) with the CDWR, the electricity buyer for the State of California. The CDWR contracts constituted one of Allegheny's key assets. In February 2002, the California Public Utilities Commission (California PUC) and the California Electricity Oversight Board (CAEOB) filed complaints with the FERC seeking to abrogate or modify the contracts. In January 2003, the CDWR filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court alleging that AE Supply breached the contracts and seeking a judicial determination that the contracts were terminated along with monetary damages.

On June 10, 2003, AE Supply and CDWR entered into a settlement agreement with renegotiated terms and conditions of the CDWR contract. The settlement reduces the off-peak power prices payable by CDWR under the ten-year contract from $61 per MWh from 2004 to 2011 to $60 in 2004, $59 in 2005, and $58 in 2006 through 2011. The settlement terms also reduce the volume of power to be purchased from 1,000 MW from 2005-2011 to 750 MW in 2005 and 800 MW from 2006 through 2011. The renegotiated contract also states that the parties waive all rights to challenge the validity of the agreement or whether it is just and reasonable for its duration. These modifications reduced the value of the CDWR contract by approximately $152 million. The terms of the settlement also provide that the California PUC and CAEOB agree to drop their complaints against AE Supply at FERC, and CDWR and the California Attorney General agree to drop their lawsuit filed in California Superior Court. The parties agreed that all litigation will be wi thdrawn with prejudice.

The settlement agreement has been approved by the California PUC. The FERC issued an order approving the settlement on July 11, 2003. On August 15, 2003, the CDWR filed a notice of entry of dismissal with prejudice with the California Superior Court in Sacramento, and the clerk of the court entered the dismissal as requested. The sale to J. Aron & Company was approved by FERC on August 25, 2003. On September 15, 2003, Allegheny sold the CDWR contract and related hedge agreements to J. Aron, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

Putative Class Actions Under California Statutes: Nine related putative class action lawsuits against AE Supply and more than two dozen other named defendant power suppliers were filed in various California superior courts during 2002. These class-action suits were removed to federal court and transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. Eight of the suits were commenced by consumers of wholesale electricity in California. The ninth, "Millar v. Allegheny Energy Supply Co., et al.," was filed on behalf of California taxpayers. The complaints allege, among other things, that AE Supply and the other defendant power suppliers violated California's antitrust statute and the California unfair business practices statute by allegedly manipulating the California electricity market over a period of years. The suits also challenge the validity of various long-term power contracts with the State of California, including the CDWR contract.

On August 25, 2003, AE Supply's motion to dismiss seven of the eight consumer class actions with prejudice was granted by the U.S. District Court. Plaintiffs' counsel in these seven actions filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on September 29, 2003. AE Supply has not been served in the eighth consumer class action, "Kurtz v. Duke Energy Trading and Marketing, LLC." The allegations in this complaint are substantively identical to those in the dismissed actions. This case is still pending in the U.S. District Court.

The District Court separately granted plaintiffs' motion to remand in the taxpayer action, Millar, on June 8, 2003. AE Supply and the other defendants plan to file a demurrer as soon as the plaintiffs file a notice of return to California Superior Court.

AE Supply cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

In May of 2002, a California state legislator brought a claim on behalf of California taxpayers against AE Supply and 30 other power suppliers, as well as Vikram Budhraja, a contract negotiator for the CDWR. The suit, styled as "McClintock v. Budhraja, et al." and brought in California Superior Court in Los Angeles County, alleged, among other things, that Budhraja had a conflict of interest during negotiations. AE Supply was never served in this action. Plaintiffs sought a judicial declaration that the energy contracts are void and unenforceable as a matter of law, as well as judicial intervention to prohibit further performance on the energy contracts by any defendant. On November 25, 2003, plaintiffs filed a request for dismissal with prejudice of the McClintock action in its entirety. The dismissal with prejudice was entered on December 2, 2003.

Putative Shareholder, Derivative, and Benefit Plan Class Actions: From October 2002 through December 2002, plaintiffs claiming to represent purchasers of AE's securities filed 14 putative class-action lawsuits against AE and several of its former senior managers in U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the District of Maryland. The complaints allege that AE and senior management violated federal securities laws when AE purchased Merrill Lynch's energy marketing and trading business with the knowledge that the business was built on illegal wash or round-trip trades with Enron, which the complaints allege artificially inflated trading revenue, volume and growth. The complaints assert that AE's fortunes fell when Enron's collapse exposed what plaintiffs claim were illegal trades in the energy markets. The complaints do not specify requested relief.

In February and March 2003, two putative class action lawsuits were filed against AE in U.S. District Courts for the Southern District of New York and the District of Maryland. The suits allege that AE and a senior manager violated the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) by: (1) failing to provide complete and accurate information to plan beneficiaries regarding the energy trading business, among other things; (2) failing to diversify plan assets; (3) failing to monitor investment alternatives; (4) failing to avoid conflicts of interest; and (5) violating fiduciary duties.

In June 2003, a shareholder derivative action was filed against AE's Board of Directors and several former senior managers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The suit alleges that the Board and senior management breached fiduciary duties to AE that have exposed AE to the securities class-action lawsuits.

Both the securities cases and the ERISA cases have been transferred to the District of Maryland for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings. The derivative action has been stayed pending the

commencement of discovery in the securities cases. AE has not yet answered the complaints. AE cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

Suits Related to Gleason Generating Facility: Allegheny Energy Supply Gleason Generating Facility, LLC, a subsidiary of AE Supply, is the defendant in a suit brought in the Circuit Court for Weakley County, Tennessee, by residents living in the vicinity of the generating facility in Gleason, Tennessee. The original suit was filed on September 16, 2002. AE Supply purchased the peaking facility in 2001. The plaintiffs are asserting claims based on trespass and/or nuisance, claiming personal injury and property damage as a result of noise from the generating facility during operation. They seek a restraining order with respect to the operation of the plant and damages of $200.0 million. During a motions and preliminary matters hearing on October 14, 2003, the judge assigned this case to mediation. Furthermore, he ordered the mediation to conclude by July 1, 2004. AE has undertaken property purchases and other mitigation measures. AE cannot predict the outcome of this suit.

AE Supply has demanded indemnification from Siemens Westinghouse, the manufacturer of the turbines used in the facility, pursuant to the terms of the equipment purchase agreement. On October 17, 2002, Siemens Westinghouse filed a request for a declaratory judgment in the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania seeking a declaration that it has been released from all liability arising out of the turbines that it furnished to the Gleason Facility, pursuant to a release signed by the prior owner of the Gleason Facility, even though the release was executed by the prior owner six (6) months after it had sold the Gleason Facility to AE Supply. This case is currently in the discovery process. AE cannot predict the outcome of this suit or whether it will be able to recover amounts from Siemens Westinghouse.

Litigation Involving Merrill Lynch: AE and AE Supply entered into an asset purchase agreement with Merrill Lynch and affiliated parties in 2001, whereby AE and AE Supply purchased Merrill Lynch's energy marketing and trading business for approximately $489 million and an equity interest in AE Supply of nearly two percent. The asset purchase agreement provides that Merrill Lynch would have the right to require AE to purchase Merrill Lynch's equity interest in AE Supply for $115 million plus interest calculated from March 16, 2001, in the event that certain conditions were not met.

On September 24, 2002, certain Merrill Lynch entities filed a complaint against AE in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging that AE breached the asset purchase agreement by failing to repurchase the equity interest in AE Supply from Merrill Lynch and seeking damages in excess of $125 million.

On September 25, 2002, AE and AE Supply commenced an action against Merrill Lynch in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York. The complaint in that lawsuit alleges that Merrill Lynch fraudulently induced AE to enter into the purchase agreement and that Merrill Lynch breached certain representations and warranties contained in the purchase agreement. The lawsuit sought damages in excess of $605 million, among other relief.

On October 23, 2002, AE filed a motion to stay Merrill Lynch's federal court action in favor of AE and AE Supply's action in New York state court. On May 29, 2003, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied AE's motion to stay Merrill Lynch's action and ordered that AE and AE Supply assert its claims against Merrill Lynch, which were initially brought in New York state court as counterclaims in Merrill Lynch's federal court action. As a result, AE and AE Supply

dismissed its New York state action and, on June 13, 2003, AE and AE Supply filed an answer, affirmative defense and counterclaims against Merrill Lynch in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Much like AE and AE Supply's complaint in New York state court, the counterclaims allege that Merrill Lynch fraudulently induced AE and AE Supply to enter into the purchase agreement, that Merrill Lynch breached certain representations and warranties contained in the purchase agreement, and that Merrill Lynch breached fiduciary duties owed to AE and AE Supply. The counterclaims seek damages in excess of $605 million, among other relief.

On August 29, 2003, AE and AE Supply filed amended counterclaims that, among other things, added a claim against Merrill Lynch for negligent misrepresentation. Merrill Lynch moved to dismiss AE and AE Supply's counterclaims and to strike the request for a jury trial concerning certain of the counterclaims. AE and AE Supply opposed Merrill Lynch's motion. On November 24, 2003, the Court granted in part and denied in part Merrill's motion. The Court denied the motion to dismiss AE and AE Supply's counterclaims for fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and punitive damages. The Court dismissed AE and AE Supply's counterclaim for rescission, which AE and AE Supply had agreed to dismiss, and struck their demand for a jury trial with respect to certain counterclaims. The counterclaim for negligent misrepresentation was not subject to Merrill's motion and remains in place. On December 9, 2003, Merrill Lynch served an answer denying the material allegations of AE and AE Supply's Amende d Counterclaims and also asserted various Affirmative Defenses. By Amended Pretrial Scheduling Order entered October 31, 2003, the case was added to the July 2004 trial calendar. AE and AE Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

EPMI Adversary Proceeding: On May 9, 2003, Enron Power Marketing, Inc. (EPMI), a Chapter 11 debtor, commenced an adversary proceeding against AE Supply in its bankruptcy case that is pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that AE Supply owes EPMI (1) $27,646,725 for accounts receivable due and owing for energy delivered prior to the commencement of EPMI's bankruptcy case, and (2) $8,250,000 in cash collateral previously posted by EPMI to AE Supply, less any amounts owed to AE Supply as a result of EPMI's default under a master trading agreement entered into between the parties and certain transactions arising thereunder. By the complaint, EPMI also seeks certain declaratory relief, including a declaration that the arbitration provision found in the master trading agreement is unenforceable. On August 1, 2003, AE Supply filed an answer asserting affirmative defenses. Many similar cases have been filed by or against EPMI in its bankruptcy case. The bankruptcy court has determined that such cases should be resolved through mediation, if possible. Mediation of the subject complaint began on October 28, 2003, and the parties will continue the mediation process.

In the normal course of business, Allegheny becomes involved in various other legal proceedings. Allegheny does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On September 24, 2003, Monongahela entered into an amended and restated agreement with respect to a $10.0 million unsecured credit facility. The original facility bears interest at a LIBOR-based rate plus four percent and matures in December 2003. Under the amended and restated agreement, the credit

facility was increased to $55.0 million, of which $53.6 million is drawn. The increased funds were used to repay maturing Monongahela notes. The interest on this facility is dependent upon the type of advance and consists of a base rate plus an applicable margin or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin. As of November 30, 2003, the LIBOR based rate was 4.62 percent. The facility matures in September 2004.

On July 24, 2003, the Ohio Public Utilities Commission (PUC) authorized Monongahela to issue a request for proposals to supply wholesale power to Monongahela commencing January 1, 2004 for new standard market-based retail rate service to its medium and large industrial and commercial customers and to its street lighting customers, totaling approximately 130 megawatts of load. AE Supply won the competitive bid process to serve the load, subject to approval of its bid by the Ohio PUC. On October 8, 2003, Monongahela requested that the Ohio PUC approve the bid and the corresponding retail rates to be charged the applicable customer classes. The Ohio PUC denied the request in October 2003 for approval of the wholesale bid and new retail rates and froze the current fixed rates for these customer classes for two years until December 31, 2005 on the grounds that certain conditions to allow market-based rates for prior to December 31, 2005 were not met. On December 17, 2003, the Ohio PUC denied Monongahela's request for rehearing. Monongahela intends to appeal the Ohio PUC's order. Monongahela intends to procure power from the PJM market beginning January 1, 2004 for these customers and anticipates that the price for that power will be higher than the currently capped retail rates. Monongahela intends to account for any corresponding losses, but cannot be certain that the Ohio PUC will allow Monongahela to recover any or all of these costs.

On November 3, 2003, there was a fire in Unit No. 2 at Hatfield's Ferry Power Station, located near Masontown, PA. Unit No. 2 is a 570-megawatt, coal-powered generating unit. As a result of the fire, significant damage was sustained to the generator and turbine and certain associated equipment. The unit is currently offline. Allegheny is assessing the steps needed to restore the unit to its previous nominal capacity and the timeframe in which restoration could be completed. AE Supply expects to recover lost revenues and property damages from its insurance or otherwise. Any inability to do so would have a material and adverse effect on Allegheny's results of operations and financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A) This MD&A includes information relating to Allegheny, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC. Where appropriate, information relating to a specific entity has been segregated and labeled as such. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Combined Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report, as well as the financial statements, notes and MD&A included in Allegheny's, AE Supply's, Monongahela's, Potomac Edison's, West Penn's, and AGC's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As discussed in the Quarterly Financial Information notes in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (see Note 24 for Allegheny, Note 21 for AE Supply and Monongahela, Note 16 for Potomac Edison, Note 14 for West Penn, and Note 11 for AGC), results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2002, have been restated as a result of Allegheny's Comprehensive Financial Review (see Note 2 for Allegheny, AE Supply, Mononga hela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn). Accordingly, the statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2002, also have been restated.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS In addition to historical information, this report contains a number of "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as anticipate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future plans, actions, or events identify forward-looking statements. These include statements with respect to: regulation and the status of retail generation service supply competition in states served by the Distribution Companies; the closing of various agreements; execution of restructuring activity and liquidity enhancement plans; results of litigation; financing requirements and plans to meet those requirements; demand for energy and the cost and availability of inputs; demand for products and services; capacity purchase commitments; results of operations; capital expenditures; regulatory matters; internal controls and procedures and outstanding financial reporting obligations; and stockholder rights plans. Forward-looking statements involve estimates, expectations, and projections and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that actual results will not materially differ from expectations. Actual results have varied materially and unpredictably from past expectations. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, among others, the following: execution of restructuring activity and liquidity enhancement plans; complications or other factors that render it difficult or impossible to obtain necessary lender consents or regulatory authorizations on a timely basis; general economic and business conditions; changes in access to capital markets; the continuing effects of global instability, terrorism, and war; changes in industry capacity, development, and other activities by Allegheny's competitors; changes in the weather and other natural phenomena; changes in technology; changes in the price of power and fuel for electric generation; the results of regulatory proceedings, including those related to rates; changes in the underlying inputs, including market conditions, and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of commodity contracts; changes in laws and regulations applicable to Allegheny, its markets, or its activities; environmental regulations; the
57

loss of any significant customers and suppliers; the effect of accounting policies issued periodically by accounting standard-setting bodies; additional collateral calls; and changes in business strategy, operations, or development plans. A detailed discussion of certain factors affecting the risk profile of the registrants is provided under the caption Item 1, "Risk Factors," in Allegheny's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. LIQUIDITY STRATEGY To meet cash needs for operating expenses, the payment of interest, retirement of debt, and acquisitions and construction programs, AE and its subsidiaries have used internally generated funds (net cash provided by operating activities less common and preferred dividends) and external financings, including the sale of common and preferred stock, debt instruments, installment loans, and lease arrangements. The timing and amount of external financings depend primarily upon economic and financial market conditions, Allegheny's cash needs, and capital structure objectives of Allegheny. The availability and cost of external financings depend upon the financial condition of the companies seeking those funds and market conditions.
Debt Covenants Allegheny refinanced existing debt and issued new debt, on February 25, 2003, and March 13, 2003, as the result of its entry into the Borrowing Facilities, as described below. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for both Allegheny and AE Supply for additional information regarding the Borrowing Facilities. Issuance costs associated with the Borrowing Facilities totaled $46.6 million, of which $46.3 million has been deferred and will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the Borrowing Facilities. AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, and West Penn entered into agreements (Borrowing Facilities) totaling $2,447.8 million with various credit providers to refinance and restructure the bulk of AE and AE Supply's short−term debt.
Following is a summary of the terms of the Borrowing Facilities:
1. Facilities at AE, Monongahela and West Penn:
·	A $305.0 million unsecured facility with AE, Monongahela, and West Penn as the designated borrowers, and under which AE has utilized the full facility amount. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) based rate plus a margin of five percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus four percent. This facility requires quarterly amortization payments of $7.5 million;
·	A $25.0 million unsecured credit facility at AE. This facility had an interest rate of a designated money center bank's base rate plus four percent and was retired in July 2003; and
·	A $10.0 million unsecured credit facility at Monongahela. This facility was subsequently renegotiated as part of a $55.0 million revolving facility, of which $53.6 million was drawn. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for additional information.
2. Facilities at AE Supply:
·	A $987.7 million credit facility (the Refinancing Credit Facility) at AE Supply, of which $893.4 million is secured by substantially all of the assets of AE Supply. Borrowings under the facility bear initial interest at a LIBOR−based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus a margin of five percent on the secured portion. The interest rate margin applicable to unsecured borrowings under the facility is 10.5 percent. This facility requires amortization payments of approximately $23.6 million in September 2004, and $117.8 million in December 2004, and matures in April 2005;
58

A $470.0 million credit facility, of which $420.0 million was committed and is outstanding and $50.0 million is no longer committed. The facility is secured by substantially all of AE Supply's assets. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a LIBOR−based rate plus six percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus a margin of five percent. This facility requires an amortization payment of $250.0 million in December 2003 and payment of the balance of $170.0 million in September 2004; and

A $270.1 million credit facility (the Springdale Credit Facility) associated with the financing of the construction of AE Supply's new generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania, and which is secured by a combination of that facility and substantially all of AE Supply's assets. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a LIBOR−based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center bank's base rate plus a margin of five percent on the portion secured by substantially all of AE Supply's assets. The interest rate margin applicable to the remainder of the borrowings under the facility is 10.5 percent. This facility requires amortization payments of $6.4 million in September 2004, $32.2 million in December 2004, and matures in April 2005.

In addition, $380.0 million of indebtedness related to the discontinued St. Joseph, Indiana generating project, in the form of A−Notes, was restructured and assumed by AE Supply. Of this debt, $343.7 million is secured by substantially all of the assets of AE Supply, other than its new generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania. The secured portion of this debt bears an interest rate of 10.25 percent, and the unsecured portion bears interest at 13.0 percent. This debt matures in November 2007.

The $420.0 million committed and borrowed by AE Supply under the $470.0 million facility represents new liquidity. The Borrowing Facilities at AE Supply also refinanced $1,637.8 million of existing debt and letters of credit, including $894.9 million outstanding under various credit agreements, and $270.1 million outstanding related to the construction of AE Supply's generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania, which went into commercial operation in July 2003. The Borrowing Facilities at AE, Monongahela, and West Penn refinanced $340.0 million of existing debt and letters of credit.

Until August 1, 2003, after certain conditions associated with securing the collateral under the Borrowing Facilities were met on July 19, 2003, the LIBOR component charged AE Supply under the Borrowing Facilities with respect to secured borrowings had a two percent floor. Also, since AE Supply was unable to secure all of the Borrowing Facilities and the restructured A−Note debt before July 31, 2003, the interest rates charged on the amounts not so secured increased to a spread of 10.5 percent over the applicable LIBOR−based rate, which contains a two percent floor for unsecured borrowings, or the designated money center bank's base rate for the Refinancing Credit Facility and the Springdale Credit Facility, and the interest rate increased to 13.0 percent for the unsecured portion of the $380.0 million A−Note debt retroactively to February 25, 2003, the closing date of the Borrowing Facilities. The total amounts unsecured under the Refinancing Credit Facility, the Springdale Credit Facility and the A−Note debt are approximately $94.3 million, $175.8 million and $36.3 million, respectively.

AE Supply utilized $2,057.8 million under the Borrowing Facilities and the restructured A−Notes. Of the total, either AE Supply's new generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania or substantially all of AE Supply's assets secures $1,927.2 million. A covenant in AE Supply's public debt places limitations, with certain exceptions, upon the issuance of secured debt. This limitation will constrain AE Supply's ability to borrow additional funds until outstanding secured debt is reduced.

The interest rates payable by AE Supply under certain parts of the Borrowing Facilities are tied to AE Supply's credit ratings. Should AE Supply's credit ratings improve from its current ratings to certain specified higher ratings, the rate of interest AE Supply would be required to pay under the Refinanced Credit Facility and the Springdale Credit Facility could decrease by 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent for the secured portion of those credit facilities.

Allegheny is required to meet certain financial tests, as defined in the Borrowing Facilities agreements, including:

fixed−charge coverage ratio of 1.10 through the first quarter of 2005; and

maximum debt−to−capital ratio of 75 percent in 2003 and 72 percent from 2004 through the first quarter of 2005.

AE Supply also is required to meet certain financial tests, as defined in the Borrowing Facilities agreements, including:

minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the agreements, of $100.0 million by June 30, 2003, increasing to $304.0 million by December 31, 2003, to $430.0 million in increments for the 12 months ending each quarter through the first quarter of 2005;

interest coverage ratio of not less than 0.75 through June 30, 2003, increasing to 1.10 by December 31, 2003, 1.50 by December 31, 2004, through the first quarter of 2005; and

minimum net worth of $800.0 million (subject to downward adjustment under specific circumstances).

Effective July 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply were granted waivers from compliance with all of the above financial tests for the first and second quarters of 2003. Effective August 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply received additional waivers of the financial tests for the third quarter of 2003.

The Borrowing Facilities also have provisions requiring prepayments out of the proceeds of asset sales and debt and equity issuances, as follows:

75 percent of the net proceeds of sales of assets of Allegheny (excluding AE Supply and its subsidiaries) up to $400.0 million, and 100 percent thereafter;

75 percent of the net proceeds of sales of assets of AE Supply and its subsidiaries up to $800.0 million, and 100 percent thereafter, excluding AE Supply's new facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania;

100 percent of the net proceeds of any sale of AE Supply's new facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania;

100 percent of the net proceeds of debt issuances (excluding specified exemptions, including an exemption of up to $50.0 million for the Distribution Companies and refinancings meeting certain criteria);

100 percent of net proceeds from equity issuances;

50 percent of Allegheny's (excluding AE Supply and its subsidiaries) excess cash flow (as defined in the Borrowing Facilities); and

50 percent of AE Supply's excess cash flow (as defined in the Borrowing Facilities).

The Borrowing Facilities also contain restrictive covenants that limit Allegheny's ability to: borrow funds; incur liens; enter into a merger or other change of control transaction; sell assets; make investments; prepay indebtedness; amend contracts; pay dividends and other distributions on Allegheny's equity; and operate Allegheny's business, by requiring it to adhere to an agreed business plan.

Substantially all of the debt of AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC remains classified as current, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 86-30, "Classification of Obligations When a Violation is Waived by the Creditor," as the result of noncompliance with certain financial reporting covenants. Allegheny and AE Supply have obtained waivers of these covenants for each of the quarterly reporting periods through and including September 30, 2003. For the debt obligations at Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC, the classification as current is the result of noncompliance with certain reporting requirements in their various indenture agreements. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, and Note 2, Debt Covenants, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for AGC for additional information regarding the nature of these financial reporting covenant violations.

The debt holders have not provided Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC with any notices of default under the agreements. Such notices, if received, would allow Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC either 30 or 60 days to cure their respective noncompliance before the debt holders could accelerate the due dates of the debt obligations.

On September 29, 2003, Mountaineer obtained waivers with respect to its Note Purchase Agreements extending the respective agreements' covenant due dates for the 2002 annual audited financial statements until October 31, 2003. Also, Mountaineer has obtained waivers for the delivery of its unaudited financial statements to the noteholders for the first, second, and third quarters of 2003. Mountaineer provided its 2002 annual audited financial statements to noteholders on October 31, 2003. Mountaineer is required to deliver the first quarter 2003 unaudited financial statements by December 30, 2003. The second and third quarter 2003 unaudited financial statements are required to be delivered by February 1, 2004. These dates both include a 30-day grace period that is provided under the Note Purchase Agreements.

Liquidity Strategy

Allegheny has prepared its financial statements assuming that it will continue as a going concern. However, Allegheny's noncompliance with certain of its reporting obligations under its debt covenants (described above) and the resultant classification of certain debt as current has caused its independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, to issue a modified opinion on the financials statements, within the 2002 Annual Report, that indicates there is substantial doubt about Allegheny's ability to continue as a going concern (a "Going Concern" opinion). The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of this uncertainty.

Allegheny is in the process of preparing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 and will file such reports as soon as they are available. Thereafter, Allegheny plans to file its subsequent public financial reports on a timely basis.

Allegheny has adopted a long−term strategy of focusing on the core generation and T&D businesses in which it has been historically engaged. Allegheny will seek, consistent with regulatory constraints, to manage its business lines as an integrated whole. Implementing this strategy will be a significant challenge, in part, because of the continuing legacy of past transactions that have negatively affected Allegheny's operations and financial condition.

Allegheny has taken a number of recent actions to improve its financial condition. These steps include substantial senior management changes; completion of key financing transactions, including the refinancing of principal credit facilities (as discussed above); exiting from Western United States energy markets; refocusing trading activities; asset sales; restructuring and cost−reducing initiatives; and improving internal controls and reporting.

Private Placement: On July 24, 2003, Allegheny obtained $291 million ($275 million after deducting various fees and placement agents' commissions) from the issuance to a special purpose finance subsidiary of AE, Allegheny Capital Trust I (Capital Trust), of units consisting of $300 million principal amount of 11 7/8 percent Notes due 2008 and warrants for the purchase of up to 25 million shares of AE's common stock, exercisable at $12 per share. The warrants are mandatorily exercisable if AE's common stock price equals or exceeds $15 per share over a specified averaging period occurring after June 15, 2006. The warrants are stapled to the notes and may be exercised only through the tender of the notes. The finance subsidiary obtained proceeds required to purchase the units by issuing $300 million liquidation amount of its 11 7/8 percent Mandatorily−Convertible Trust Preferred Securities to investors in a private placement. The holder of a preferred security is entitled to distribut ions on a corresponding principal amount of notes and may direct the exercise of warrants stapled to the notes in order to convert the preferred securities into AE common stock. AE guarantees Capital Trust's payment obligations under the preferred securities. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity," Allegheny's consolidated balance sheet will reflect the Notes as long−term debt. The Notes and AE's guarantee of Capital Trust's payment obligations are subordinated only to indebtedness arising under the agreements governing certain of AE's indebtedness under the Borrowing Facilities.

Exiting from Western United States Energy Markets: Allegheny worked through 2003 to accomplish AE Supply's effective exit from the Western United States energy markets. Its positions based in the Western United States had been a substantial source of earnings and cash flow volatility and risk, and trading in these markets does not fit with Allegheny's new business model.

Renegotiation and Sale of CDWR Contract. In June 2003, AE Supply entered into a settlement agreement with the State of California to resolve the state's litigation regarding its power supply contracts with the CDWR. The terms of the settlement reduced the volume of power to be delivered from 2005−2011 and reduced the sale price of off−peak power to be delivered from 2004−2011, which in turn substantially reduced the value of the contract. (See Notes 26 and 23 of AE's and AE Supply's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, respectively, under "Other Litigation−CDWR" for additional information). On September 15, 2003, Allegheny closed the sale of the CDWR contract and associated hedge transactions, to J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., for approximately $354 million. Allegheny has applied $214 million of the sale proceeds to required payments under

agreements entered into to terminate tolling agreements with Williams Energy Marketing and Trading Company (Williams) and Las Vegas Cogeneration II (LV Cogen), a unit of Black Hills Corporation, as described below. Allegheny will apply an additional $28 million of the proceeds to make required payments in March and September of 2004 under the agreement with Williams. Approximately $26 million is being held in a pledged account for the benefit of AE Supply's creditors. This arrangement is intended to enhance AE Supply's ability to refinance certain unsecured borrowings. Approximately $71 million of the sale proceeds were placed in escrow for the benefit of J. Aron & Company, pending Allegheny's fulfillment of certain post−closing requirements. When the escrowed funds are released, approximately $50 million will be added to the pledged account and AE Supply will receive the balance. The remaining $15 million of sale proceeds have been used to partially offset certain of the hedges rel ated to the CDWR contract and to pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction.

Agreement to Terminate Williams Toll. In July 2003, AE Supply entered into a conditional agreement with Williams to terminate its 1,000 MW tolling agreement with Williams. Under the agreement, AE Supply made an initial payment to Williams of approximately $2.4 million to satisfy certain amounts under a related hedge agreement. Allegheny made a $100 million payment to Williams after the close of the sale of the CDWR contract. Allegheny will make two payments of $14 million to Williams in March and September of 2004. The tolling agreement will terminate when the final $14 million payment is made.

Termination of LV Cogen Toll. In mid−September, 2003, AE Supply terminated its 222 MW tolling agreement with LV Cogen. Allegheny made a $114 million termination payment to LV Cogen after the closing of the sale of the CDWR contract.

In July and August 2003, AE Supply contracted for the sale of the CDWR contract and related hedges to J. Aron & Company and for the termination of tolling agreements with Williams and LV Cogen. As of December 31, 2002, and March 31, 2003, the fair value of the CDWR contract and the related hedges plus the Williams and LV Cogen tolling agreements was $525.7 million and $447.8 million, respectively, resulting in an unrealized loss of $77.9 million. Note 3 of the 2002 Annual Report included on Form 10-K, for both AE and AE Supply, reported a fair value at December 31, 2002 of $554.5 million; however, primarily due to counterparty modifications, the fair value of the CDWR contract and the related hedges plus the Williams and LV Cogen tolling agreements as of December 31, 2002, has been revised to $525.7 million. This had no impact on other previously reported amounts.

From January 1, 2003, through the date that these contracts were either sold or agreements were reached to terminate the contracts, the aggregate fair value of the contracts decreased by approximately $435 million. As a result of the sale of the CDWR contract and related hedges and the agreements to terminate the Williams and LV Cogen tolling agreements in the third quarter of 2003, Allegheny incurred a net loss of approximately $50 million, before income taxes. This loss was determined excluding the approximately $71 million of sale proceeds that were placed in escrow pending Allegheny's fulfillment of certain post−closing requirements.

After completing these major transactions, Allegheny's remaining trading exposures to the Western United States energy markets consisted of several shorter−term trades that hedged the CDWR contract and several long−term hedges of the LV Cogen tolling agreement. Allegheny subsequently entered into agreements to close-out these remaining open positions.

Refocusing Trading Activities: Adoption of Asset−Based Trading Strategy. AE Supply is reorienting its trading operations from high−volume financial trading in national markets to asset optimization and hedging within its region. AE Supply is implementing this rebalancing over time as its liquidity allows. Effectively exiting the Western United States energy markets, together with unwinding substantial non−core trading positions, has enabled AE Supply to reduce long−term trading−related cash out flows and collateral obligations. In the future, AE Supply will seek to concentrate its efforts in the PJM, Midwest, and Mid−Atlantic markets where it has a physical presence and greater market knowledge. Ultimately, AE Supply intends to conduct asset optimization and hedging activities with the primary objective of locking in cash flows associated with AE Supply's portfolio of core physical generating and load positions.

Relocation of Trading Operations. AE Supply moved its energy marketing operations from New York to Monroeville, Pennsylvania on May 5, 2003, and has reduced its trading operations. This transition will result in ongoing cost savings and improve integration with AE Supply's generation activity. The reduced staffing levels are intended to reflect the newly revised focus of the trading function. Management believes that both trading and marketing and generation operations can be enhanced by locating trading personnel closer to personnel managing AE Supply's generating assets. Personnel involved in the separate functions can be cross−trained and will be better positioned to enhance the relationship between the two functions.

Asset Sales: In 2002, Allegheny announced that it was considering asset sales as part of an overall strategy to address its liquidity requirements. Allegheny has achieved the sale of its most significant assets with a nexus to the Western United States. Allegheny has also closed the sale of its interest in the Conemaugh Generating Station, as described below. Allegheny continues to consider the sale of additional assets, especially non−core assets, including Mountaineer.

Land Sales. Effective February 14, 2002, West Penn, through its subsidiary West Virginia Power and Transmission Company, sold 12,000 acres of land in Canaan Valley, W.Va., to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for $16 million. Effective December 18, 2002, it also sold a 2,468−acre tract of land for $6.9 million and made a charitable contribution of a 740 acre tract in Canaan Valley, W.Va., to Canaan Valley Institute.

Fellon−McCord and Alliance Services, LLC. Effective December 31, 2002, AE sold Fellon−McCord, its natural gas and electricity consulting and management services firm, and Alliance Energy Services, LLC, (Alliance Energy Services) a provider of natural gas supply and transportation services, to Constellation Energy Group for approximately $21.8 million.

Conemaugh Generating Station. On June 27, 2003, AE Supply completed the sale of its 83 MW share of the coal−fired Conemaugh Generating Station, located near Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to a subsidiary of UGI Development Corporation, (UGI), for approximately $46.3 million, which does not include a contingent amount of $5 million. This contingent amount could be received in full, in part, or not at all, depending upon AE Supply' performance of certain post−closing obligations.

Restructuring and Cost−Reducing Initiatives: Allegheny has taken several actions to align its operations with its strategy and reduce its cost structure.

Termination of Non−Core Construction Activity. In 2002, AE Supply ceased construction and planning of various merchant generation projects to attempt to conserve cash and other resources and focus its resources on its core generating assets.

Restructuring of Operations. In July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan intended to strengthen its financial performance by, among other things, reducing its workforce. Allegheny has achieved workforce reductions of more than 10 percent through a voluntary Early Retirement Option (ERO) program and selected staff reductions. In 2002, approximately 600 eligible employees accepted the ERO program resulting in a charge of $82.6 million, before income taxes. Allegheny will continue to take actions intended to reduce costs and improve productivity in all of its operations.

Suspension of Dividends. The Board of Directors of AE determined not to declare a dividend on AE's common stock for the fourth quarter of 2002. Covenants contained in Allegheny's new Borrowing Facilities entered into in February 2003, and in the indenture entered into in connection with the convertible trust preferred securities issuance in July 2003, as well as regulatory limitations under PUHCA, are expected to preclude AE from declaring or paying cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Elimination of Preemptive Rights. On March 14, 2003, AE's common stockholders approved an amendment to AE's articles of incorporation eliminating common stockholders' preemptive rights. The elimination of preemptive rights removes an obstacle to AE's ability to privately place equity or convertible securities.

Improving Internal Controls and Reporting: Comprehensive Accounting Review. Commencing in the third quarter of 2002, Allegheny undertook a comprehensive and extended review of its financial information and internal controls and procedures. This review included extensive involvement by top management and directors, independent auditors and other outside service firms. Allegheny continues to address its controls environment and reporting procedures, as well as its SEC filing and other outstanding reporting obligations. See Part I, Item 4, "Controls and Procedures," for a detailed discussion.

Associated Risks: There are many attendant risks, both with Allegheny's current liquidity situation and the measures that have been undertaken to remedy the situation in the short−term. These risks can be viewed as liquidity risks associated with the Borrowing Facilities, asset sales risks, and risks associated with the restructuring.

Liquidity Risks Associated with the Borrowing Facilities: These risks would include increased interest rate risk and additional borrowing costs. Also, required prepayments under the Borrowing Facilities will absorb a large portion of future estimated cash flows and will limit Allegheny's ability to raise capital for purposes other than debt repayment.

Asset Sales Risks: If asset sales do occur, it is likely that they would not be at terms as favorable as the market conditions existing when the assets were originally acquired. This situation could expose Allegheny to a loss in value on those assets.

Restructuring Risks: In association with the workforce reductions, winding−down and relocation of the energy trading operations, and the cancellation of construction projects, Allegheny is faced with the risk of losing experienced personnel, diverting management resources away from continuing operations, and failing to realize anticipated cost reductions.

There is no guarantee that Allegheny will be able to complete its plan to strengthen it liquidity in the short−term and move to its longer−term strategy of remaining an integrated energy company with a focus on its fundamental power generation and delivery businesses.

Other Matters Concerning Liquidity and Capital Requirements: Allegheny's wholesale marketing, energy trading, fuel procurement, and risk management activities require direct and indirect credit support. The amount of credit support required is affected by market price changes for electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related commodities and Allegheny's credit rating. Such credit support might be in the form of letters of credit, cash deposits, or liquid securities. Allegheny announced on October 8, 2002, that AE, AE Supply, and AGC were in technical default under their principal credit agreements after AE Supply declined to post additional collateral in favor of several trading counterparties. This default resulted in 24 trading counterparties terminating trades with Allegheny by December 31, 2002. Of these trading counterparties, Allegheny has settled with nine counterparties for a net cash inflow of $6.8 million. As of December 31, 2002, Allegheny had recorded an accounts receivable of $ 9.0 million for payments due from terminated trading counterparties and had recorded an accounts payable for $40.6 million due to terminated trading counterparties. In early 2003, Allegheny proposed payment schedules with the remaining counterparties to settle the accounts payable by the end of 2003. As of June 30, 2003, the amount due under the payment schedules, including interest, is approximately $27.4 million.

Allegheny and certain of its subsidiaries have also executed letter of credit facilities to provide for additional capacity of $215.0 million. AE Supply regularly posts cash deposits or letters of credit with counterparties to collateralize a portion of its energy trading obligations. At March 31, 2003, there was $115.5 million outstanding under Allegheny's letter of credit facilities.

Allegheny has various obligations and commitments to make future cash payments under contracts such as debt instruments, lease arrangements, fuel agreements, and other contracts. The table below provides a summary of the payments due by period for these obligations and commitments as of March 31, 2003. This table does not include capacity contract commitments that were accounted for under fair value accounting, as discussed under "Operating Revenues" or contingencies.

* Does not include unamortized debt expense, discounts, premiums, and terminated interest rate swaps that were accounted for as fair value hedges under SFAS No. 133. Amounts related to debentures, notes, and bonds in this table represent contractual cash payments required without taking into account their classification as current, as a result of a default in the underlying debt agreements, on the consolidated balance sheet. Allegheny's capital expenditures, including construction expenditures, of all of the subsidiaries for the last nine months of 2003 and for the full years of 2004 and 2005 are estimated at $225.9 million, $304.0 million and $342.7 million, respectively and include estimated expenditures of $27.2 million, $71.8 million and $124.4 million, respectively, for environmental control technology. See Note 26, Commitments and Contingencies, in AE's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information. In 2003, Allegheny's cash flows are expected to be adequate to meet all of its payment obligations and to fund capital expenditures. Allegheny expects that cash flows from operations will not be sufficient in 2004 to cover future obligations, including its capital expenditure requirements. Allegheny expects that it will need to sell certain assets or arrange for alternative financing in order to repay the principal amounts under the Borrowing Facilities scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2004.

	Basic & Diluted Loss Per Share Three Months Ended March 31
	2003	Restated 2002
Delivery and Services	$ .39	$ .31
Generation and Marketing	(.60)	.34
Eliminations	(.09)	(.04)
Consolidated (loss) income before cumulative effect of accounting change	(.30)	.61
Cumulative effect of accounting change, net	(.16)	(1.04)
Consolidated net loss	$ (.46)	$ (.43)

Allegheny's consolidated income before cumulative effect of accounting change was $114.1 million lower in 2003, primarily due to reduced earnings in the Generation and Marketing segment as a result of unrealized losses on commodity contracts of $45.2 million in 2003 versus unrealized gains of $90.7 million in 2002, higher interest charges, and higher operation expense, including a loss on assets held for sale (see Note 4, Assets Held For Sale). These factors were offset in part by the recognition of a $56.7 million gain, net of income taxes ($75.8 million, before income taxes), for the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation," to West Virginia jurisdictional generating assets in 2003. See Note 9, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, for additional information regarding the reapplication of SFAS No. 71.

In 2003, earnings were reduced by $12.1 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-3, "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management." See Note 3, Energy Trading Activities, for additional information. Also in 2003, earnings were reduced by $8.6 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 143," Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations." See Note 12, Asset Retirement Obligations, for additional information. In 2002, earnings were reduced by $130.5 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in Allegheny's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Operating Revenues Total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003	Restated 2002
Delivery and Services:
Regulated electric	$676.1	$ 627.1
Regulated natural gas	121.8	92.2
Bulk power	20.5	10.9
Unregulated services	14.1	150.3
Other affiliated and non- affiliated energy services	18.4	33.9
Total Delivery and Services
Revenues	850.9	914.4
Generation and Marketing:
Bulk power*	(103.8)	109.2
Retail, affiliated, and other	384.6	379.0
Total Generation and Marketing
Revenues	280.8	488.2
Eliminations	(416.0)	(397.5)
Total operating revenues	$715.7	$1,005.1
*In accordance with EITF 02-3, energy trading revenues are reported net of purchased energy, which has resulted in negative revenue amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Delivery and Services: The Delivery and Services segment's regulated electric revenues increased $49.0 million primarily due to a 17.4 percent increase in residential MWh, which reflects a 26.4 percent increase in heating degree days as a result of colder winter weather across Allegheny's electric service territory.

The Delivery and Services segment's regulated natural gas revenues increased $29.6 million primarily due to an increase in purchased gas cost adjustment (PGA) rate as well as a 31.3 percent increase in combined residential and commercial sales, which reflects an 18.4 percent increase in heating degree days as a result of colder winter weather across Allegheny's gas service territory.

The Delivery and Services segment's unregulated services revenues decreased $136.2 million due primarily to the sale of Alliance Energy Services on December 31, 2002.

Generation and Marketing: The Generation and Marketing segment's bulk power revenues decreased $213.0 million primarily due to recognition of realized losses and reduced unrealized gains associated with AE Supply's trading portfolio. See the discussion in Item 2, AE Supply's MD&A, under Operating Revenues, with respect to net unrealized gains, changes in the fair value of commodity contracts, and the breakout of PLR revenues. PLR revenues increased slightly over those detailed in the PLR breakout related to AE Supply as a result of the inclusion of Monongahela's regulated load obligations which are included as part of the total Generating and Marketing segment.

Eliminations: The eliminations in revenues are necessary to remove the effect of affiliated revenues, which are primarily sales of bulk power.

Cost of Revenues

Fuel Consumed for Electric Generation: Fuel consumed for electric generation, which relates entirely to the Generation and Marketing segment, represents the cost of coal, natural gas, and oil consumed at Allegheny's generating stations to produce electricity. Total fuel expenses increased $15.3 million due primarily to a $12.4 million increase in the cost of fuel consumed at the coal-fired generating stations. This increase in cost of coal consumed was due to a 5.5 percent increase in average coal prices and a 1.4 percent increase in the quantity of electricity produced.

Purchased Energy and Transmission: Purchased energy and transmission for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, consists of the following items:
	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003	Restated 2002
Delivery and Services:
From PURPA generation*	$ 55.8	$ 49.2
Other purchased energy	407.0	374.9
Total purchased energy for Delivery and Services	462.8	424.1
Generation and Marketing purchased energy and transmission	18.3	50.9
Eliminations	(394.8)	(385.4)
Total purchased energy and transmission	$ 86.3	$ 89.6
*PURPA cost (cents per kWh)	5.6	5.4
The Delivery and Services segment's purchased energy from PURPA generation increased $6.6 million primarily due to increased purchases at a higher average cost per kWh. The Delivery and Services segment's purchased energy from other than PURPA generation, which consists primarily of West Penn's, Potomac Edison's, and Monongahela's purchases of energy from AE Supply, increased $32.1 million primarily due to an increase in purchases at higher average rates. In addition, the increase also includes the escalating market-based pricing component of the long-term power sales agreements between AE Supply and the Distribution Companies.
70

The Generation and Marketing segment's purchased energy and transmission decreased $32.6 million. As AE Supply exited the retail business during June 2002, certain energy purchases made to support these retail sales were no longer required. Also, purchases of energy imbalances prior to Allegheny's entry into PJM on April 1, 2002 were purchased from the Delivery and Services segment (control area operator); subsequently energy imbalances are purchased from PJM. See discussion in Item 2, AE Supply's MD&A under Operating Revenues with respect to breakout of PLR revenues. The eliminations are necessary to remove the effect of affiliated purchased energy and transmission expenses.
Natural Gas Purchases: Natural gas purchases for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:
	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003			Restated 2002
Delivery and Services	$96.0			$174.4
The Delivery and Services segment's natural gas purchases decreased $78.4 million primarily due to the sale of Alliance Energy Services on December 31, 2002, partially offset by increased gas purchases at higher prices to support increased gas sales. *Other Cost of Revenues:* Other cost of revenues, which relates entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, decreased $14.6 million primarily due to the absence of costs related to Allegheny Energy Solutions, as that business was sold effective December 31, 2002, and reduced costs related to delivery of natural gas turbine generators to the Southern Mississippi Electric Power Association. Other Operating Expenses *Operation Expense:* Operation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:
			Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)		2003			Restated 2002
Delivery and Services		$119.7			$118.1
Generation and Marketing		182.7			124.2
Eliminations		(1.7)			(2.7)
Total operation expense		$300.7			$239.6
Total operation expenses increased $61.1 million primarily due to higher costs related to employee benefits and outside services and a $28.5 million loss on an asset held for sale (see Note 4, Assets Held For Sale), offset in part by savings from restructuring and cost reduction initiatives begun in the third quarter of 2002, including Allegheny's voluntary Early Retirement Option (ERO) program.
71

Other Income and Expenses, Net Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating revenues and expenses before income taxes. Other income and expenses, net, increased $69.3 million primarily due to a $75.8 million gain recognized in 2003 related to the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71 to generation assets in West Virginia. In 2002, other income and expenses, net, included a $14.3 million gain on Canaan Valley land sales. See Note 9, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, and Note 11, Other Income and Expenses, Net, for additional information. Interest Charges and Preferred Dividends Interest charges on debt for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, were as follows:
	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003	Restated 2002
Delivery and Services	$ 31.6	$34.4
Generation and Marketing	69.6	38.0
Eliminations	---	(2.6)
Total interest on debt	$101.2	$69.8
Interest charges and preferred dividends increased $30.0 million primarily due to higher interest on debt, resulting from an increase in average debt outstanding, including new debt issued under the Borrowing Facilities. Federal and State Income Tax (Benefit) Expense The provisions for income tax (benefit) expense for (loss) earnings from operations result in an effective income tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35 percent principally due to state income taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making, and certain non-deductible expenses. The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were (48.9) percent and 35.4 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rate of (48.9) percent was primarily caused by the tax benefits derived from losses recognized by AE Supply, which are significantly in excess of tax expenses recognized by Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn and AGC, and the impact of the reestablishment of the application of SFAS No. 71. Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change, Net Effective January 1, 2003, Allegheny adopted EITF Issue No. 02-3. As a result, Allegheny recorded a charge against earnings, related entirely to the operations at AE Supply, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $12.1 million, net of income taxes ($19.7 million, before income taxes), representing the fair value of those contracts previously accounted for under EITF Issue No. 98-10, "Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," that no longer qualify for mark-to-market accounting. See Note 3, Energy Trading Activities, for additional information.
72

Effective January 1, 2003, Allegheny adopted SFAS No. 143, which provides accounting and disclosure requirements for retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets. As a result, Allegheny recorded a charge against earnings as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $8.6 million, net of income taxes ($14.0 million, before income taxes). Of the total charge, AE Supply recorded $7.4 million, net of income taxes ($11.9 million, before income taxes). See Note 12, Asset Retirement Obligations, for additional information. Effective January 1, 2002, Allegheny adopted SFAS No. 142. As a result, Allegheny recorded a charge of $130.5 million, net of income taxes ($210.0 million, before income taxes), as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in Allegheny's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
AE SUPPLY'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Earnings (Loss) Summary Consolidated income before cumulative effect of accounting change decreased $173.6 million primarily due to lower net revenues, reflecting unrealized losses on commodity contracts in 2003 versus unrealized gains in 2002 and higher interest and operation expense. In 2003, earnings were reduced by $12.1 million and $7.4 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoptions of EITF Issue No. 02-3 and SFAS No. 143, respectively. See Notes 3, Energy Trading Activities, and 11, Other Income and Expenses, Net, for additional information. Operating Revenues Total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:
		Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003		Restated 2002
Operating revenues:
Retail	$ ---		$ 16.6
Wholesale	(102.2)		111.3
Affiliated	313.4		296.2
Total operating revenues	$211.2		$424.1

Retail: Retail revenues decreased to zero as a result of AE Supply exiting the retail business commencing June 2002.

Wholesale: Wholesale revenues decreased $213.5 million primarily due to a reduction of unrealized gains in the Western United States of $181.8 million as a result of pricing differential and volatility with energy markets (both electric and gas) and increased credit costs and realized losses of $72.6 million, as a result of changes in market conditions and excess capacity. These were offset in part by unrealized gains on all other portfolios of approximately $40.9 million.

See Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis, for AE Supply in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussions surrounding the methodology, tenor, and description of AE Supply's trading portfolio, as well as a description with respect to the range of observable market prices and overall market liquidity. There has been no significant change in the methodology of valuing the portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2003. All changes in the fair value of the portfolio are the result of changes in market conditions.

The fair value of energy trading commodity contracts, which represents the net unrealized gain and loss positions, is recorded as assets and liabilities, after applying the appropriate counterparty netting agreements. At March 31, 2003, the fair value of energy trading commodity contract assets and liabilities was $1,155.5 million and $803.2 million, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of energy trading commodity contract assets and liabilities was $1,211.9 million and $783.7 million, respectively.

The following table disaggregates the net fair value of commodity contract assets and liabilities, excluding AE Supply's generating assets and power sales agreements with its regulated utility affiliates for their PLR obligations, as of March 31, 2003, based on the underlying market price source and the contract delivery periods:

Source of fair value
(In Millions)	2003	2004	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	There- after	Total Fair Value
Prices actively quoted	$(16.0)	$(19.8)	$(10.9)	$(5.8)	$(4.6)	$(2.8)	$(2.0)	$(1.4)	$ (0.4)	$(63.7)
Prices provided by other external sources	---	20.0	(2.5)	2.3	(0.7)	(1.8)	(0.4)	---	---	16.9
Prices based on models	(11.2)	6.7	91.3	104.4	103.2	87.4	78.0	76.9	(137.6)	399.1
Total	$(27.2)	$ 6.9	$ 77.9	$100.9	$ 97.9	$ 82.8	$75.6	$75.5	$(138.0)	$352.3

In the table above, each commodity contract is classified by the source of fair value, based upon the individual settlement dates within an entire contract. Therefore, portions of a single contract may be assigned to multiple classifications based upon the source of the underlying market prices used to determine the fair value of the contract. AE Supply determines prices actively quoted from various industry services, broker quotes, and the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). Electricity markets are generally liquid for approximately one year and most natural gas markets are generally liquid for approximately three years. Afterward, some market prices can be observed, but market liquidity is less robust.

Approximately $399.1 million of AE Supply's commodity contracts were classified above as prices based on models, even though a portion of these contracts are valued based on observable market prices. The most significant variables to AE Supply's models used to value these contracts are the forward prices for both electricity and natural gas. These forward prices are based on observable market prices to the extent prices are available in the market. Generally, electricity forward prices are actively quoted for about one year, and some observable market prices are available for about three years. After three

years, the forward prices for electricity are based on the forward price of natural gas and a marginal heat rate for generation (based on more efficient natural gas-fired generation) to convert natural gas into electricity. For natural gas, forward prices are generally actively quoted for about three years, and some observable market prices are available for about five years. Beyond five years, natural gas prices are modified based on trends in prior years.

For deliveries by the end of 2003, the fair value of AE Supply's commodity contracts was a net liability of $27.2 million.

Net unrealized losses of $45.2 million and net unrealized gains of $90.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, were recorded in wholesale revenues to reflect the change in the estimated fair value of the energy commodity contracts. The following table provides a roll-forward of the net fair value, or commodity contract assets less commodity contract liabilities, of AE Supply's commodity contracts from December 31, 2002, to March 31, 2003:

(In millions)	Amount
Net fair value of commodity contract assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2002	$ 428.2
Unrealized losses on commodity contracts, net during 2003:
Fair value of structured transactions when entered into during 2003	---
Cumulative effect of accounting change attributable to conversion to EITF 02-3	(19.7)
Other unrealized loss on commodity contracts, net	(45.2)
Total unrealized losses on commodity contracts, net during 2003	(64.9)
Net options paid and received*	(11.0)
Net fair value of commodity contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2003	$ 352.3
* Amount is net of ($11.0) of option premium expirations

There has been, and may continue to be, significant volatility in the market prices for electricity and natural gas at the wholesale level, which will affect AE Supply's operating results. *Affiliated:* Affiliated revenues increased $17.2 million primarily due to increased sales volume and higher average prices charged to the Distribution Companies in accordance with the escalating market-based pricing component of the long-term power sales agreements between AE Supply and the Delivery Companies. The table below separates operating revenues and cost of revenues into two components: PLR and Excess Generation and Trading for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively. See Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis, for AE Supply in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a further description.

Net revenues	$ 186.1	$ 176.7	$ (132.5)	$ 78.5	$ 53.6	$ 255.2

Cost of Revenues *Fuel Consumed for Electric Generation:* Total fuel expenses increased $8.7 million due primarily to a $6.0 million increase in the cost of fuel consumed at the coal-fired generating stations. This increase in cost of coal consumed was due primarily to a 4.1 percent increase in average coal prices. Purchased Energy and Transmission: Purchased energy and transmission decreased $20.0 million primarily due to the absence of purchased energy to support retail sales as a result of AE Supply exiting the retail business during June 2002 and the absence of purchases from the Distribution Companies beginning April 1, 2002 upon Allegheny's entry into PJM. Other Operating Expenses Operation Expense: Operation expenses increased $60.1 million primarily due to higher costs related to employee benefits, outside services, and refinancing fees related to the Borrowing Facilities and a $28.5 million loss on an asset held for sale (see Note 4, Assets Held For Sale), offset in part by savings from restructuring and cost reduction initiatives begun in the third quarter of 2002, including Allegheny's voluntary ERO program. Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $2.0 million primarily due to an adjustment which increased 2002 depreciation and amortization, partially offset by increased depreciation due to higher property, plant, and equipment in-service balances. Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Taxes other than income taxes decreased $2.7 million primarily due to a decrease in gross receipt taxes from exiting the retail business, an adjustment for West Virginia Business and Occupation taxes, and negotiations that resulted in the reduction of property taxes at the Wheatland facility in Indiana. Interest Charges Interest charges increased $25.5 million primarily due to an increase in AE Supply's average long-term debt outstanding, including new debt issued under the Borrowing Facilities.
76

Federal and State Income Tax (Benefit) Expense The effective income tax (benefit) expense rates for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were (38.8) percent and 36.4 percent, respectively. The change in the rate from a tax expense to a tax benefit is primarily caused by the tax benefits derived from losses.
MONONGAHELA'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Earnings (Loss) Summary
	Consolidated Net Income (Loss) Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003	Restated 2002
Delivery and Services	$15.2	$ 11.1

Consolidated income before cumulative effect of accounting change	70.0	10.3
Cumulative effect of accounting change, net	(.4)	(115.4)
Consolidated net income (loss)	$69.6	$(105.1)

Monongahela's consolidated income before cumulative effect of accounting change increased $59.7 million primarily due to increased earnings in the Generation and Marketing segment as a result of the recognition of a $48.1 million gain, net of income taxes ($61.7 million, before income taxes), for the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71. See Note 9, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, for additional information regarding the reapplication of SFAS No. 71.

The cumulative effect of accounting change for 2003 relates to the adoption of SFAS No. 143. See Note 12, Asset Retirement Obligations, for additional information.

In 2002, earnings were reduced by $115.4 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. See Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in Allegheny's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Operating Revenues Total operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002 were as follows:
	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003	Restated 2002
Delivery and Services:
Regulated electric	$163.2	$155.1
Regulated natural gas	121.8	92.2
Bulk power	4.7	2.7

Total Generation and Marketing
revenues	97.6	76.7
Eliminations	(74.6)	(68.4)
Total operating revenues	$316.8	$265.8

The Delivery and Services segment's regulated electric revenues increased $8.1 million primarily due to a $7.2 million increase in residential sales, which reflects an 18.4 percent increase in heating degree days as a result of colder winter weather.

The Delivery and Services segment's regulated natural gas revenues increased $29.6 million primarily due to an increase in the purchased gas cost adjustment (PGA) rates as well as a $25.2 million increase in combined residential and commercial sales, which reflects an 18.4 percent increase in heating degree days as a result of colder winter weather across Allegheny's gas service territory.

The Generation and Marketing segment's retail, affiliated, and other revenues increased $20.7 million primarily due to increased sales in order to support increased regulated electric sales, and increased sales of excess generation to AE Supply at higher average rates.

The eliminations in revenues are necessary to remove the effect of affiliated revenues, primarily sales of bulk power.

Cost of Revenues

Fuel Consumed For Electric Generation: Fuel consumed for electric generation, which relates entirely to the Generation and Marketing segment, increased $6.5 million primarily due to a 10.9 percent increase in average fuel prices and a 7.3 percent increase in the quantity of electricity produced.

Purchased Energy and Transmission: Purchased energy and transmission for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, consists of the following items:
	Three Months Ended March 31
(In millions)	2003	Restated 2002

Delivery and Services:
From PURPA generation	$ 18.2	$ 18.2
Other purchased energy	93.6	82.9
Total purchased energy for
Delivery and Services	111.8	101.1
Generation and Marketing purchased energy and transmission	10.6	7.8
Eliminations	(74.6)	(68.4)
Total purchased energy and
Transmission	$ 47.8	$ 40.5

The Delivery and Services segment's purchased energy from other than PURPA generation increased $10.7 million primarily due to increased purchases of energy from the Generation and Marketing segment in order to support increased regulated electric sales.

The Generation and Marketing segment's purchased energy and transmission increased $2.8 million primarily due to increased costs associated with the purchase of energy through PJM, effective April 1, 2002.

The eliminations are necessary to remove the effect of affiliated purchased energy and transmission expenses.

Natural Gas Purchases: Natural gas purchases, which relate entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, increased $40.1 million primarily due to increased gas purchases at higher prices to support increased gas sales.

Other Operating Expenses

Operation Expense: The $7.5 million increase in operation expenses, which relates almost entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, was primarily due to higher costs related to employee benefits, storm outages, power station outages, and outside services, offset in part by savings from restructuring and cost reduction initiatives begun in the third quarter of 2002, including Allegheny's voluntary ERO program.

Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Total taxes other than income taxes increased $1.8 million primarily due to an adjustment in West Virginia business and occupation taxes.

Other Income and Expenses, Net

Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating revenues and expenses before income taxes. Other income and expenses, net, increased $61.5 million primarily due to the recognition of a $61.7 million gain related to the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71 to generation assets in West Virginia. See Note 9,Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, and Note 11, Other Income and Expenses, Net, for additional information.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 28.0 percent and 44.9 percent, respectively. The change in the effective income tax rate is primarily caused by the impact of the reapplication of SFAS No. 71.

POTOMAC EDISON'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income increased $15.9 million primarily due to increased net revenues and the recognition of an $8.6 million gain, net of income taxes ($14.1 million, before income taxes), for the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71 in West Virginia. See Note 9, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, for additional information regarding the reapplication of SFAS No. 71.

The cumulative effect of accounting change for 2003 relates to the adoption of SFAS No. 143. See Note 12, Asset Retirement Obligations, for additional information.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased $32.8 million primarily due to $20.6 million and $3.2 million increases in residential and commercial sales, respectively, which reflect a 33.6 percent increase in heating degree days as a result of colder winter weather in its service territory and a 2.8 percent increase in the average number of customers served.

Cost of Revenues

Purchased Energy and Transmission: Purchased energy expense increased $25.2 million primarily due to increased purchases of electricity from AE Supply at slightly higher rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, Potomac Edison incurred $4.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of additional purchased electricity costs due to the market-based pricing component of the revised rate schedule under its long-term power purchase agreement with AE Supply. Potomac Edison also had increased purchases of electricity at higher rates from PURPA generation facilities.

Other Operating Expenses

Operation Expense: Operation expenses increased $2.3 million primarily due to higher costs related to employee benefits and outside services, offset in part by savings from restructuring and cost reduction initiatives begun in the third quarter of 2002, including Allegheny's voluntary ERO program.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.3 million primarily due to higher property, plant, and equipment in-service balances.

Other Income and Expenses, Net

Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating revenues and expense before income taxes. Other income and expenses increased $18.3 million primarily due to the recognition of a $14.1 million gain related to the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71 and a $1.9 million gain on the sale of land. See Note 9, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, and Note 11, Other Income and Expenses, Net, for additional information.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 34.0 percent and 29.6 percent, respectively.

WEST PENN'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Consolidated net income decreased $6.2 million. The higher net revenues, lower operating expenses, and interest charges in 2003, helped offset the reduction in other income and expenses, net, and is the primary driver of the decrease in consolidated net income between 2003 and 2002. In 2002, West Penn recorded a gain on the sale of land as part of other income and expenses, net, which did not recur during 2003.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased $5.2 million primarily due to a 12.4 percent increase in residential MWh, which reflect a 27.0 percent increase in heating degree days as a result of colder winter weather, partially offset by the loss of generation (energy supply) revenues from wholesale customers who have chosen alternate electricity generation suppliers.

Cost of Revenues

Purchased Energy and Transmission: Purchased energy expense increased $3.1 million and reflects, for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and 2002, that West Penn incurred $11.1 million and $5.7 million, respectively, as a result of additional transmission costs and increased purchase power under PURPA agreements.

Other Operating Expenses

Operation Expense: Operation expenses decreased $5.4 million primarily due to decreases in expenses related to employee benefits and savings from restructuring and cost reduction initiatives begun in the third quarter of 2002, including Allegheny's voluntary ERO program.

Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.3 million primarily due to an increase in the property, plant, and equipment in-service balances.

Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Taxes other than income taxes increased $1.3 million primarily due to an increase in gross receipt taxes on increased Pennsylvania retail revenues and an accrual of Pennsylvania use taxes related to prior tax periods.

Other Income and Expenses, Net

Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating revenues and expenses before income taxes. Other income and expenses, net, decreased $14.2 million primarily due to the recognition of a $12.5 million gain on the sale of land in 2002. See Note 11, Other Income and Expenses, Net, for additional information.

Interest Charges

Interest charges decreased $1.5 million primarily due to lower average debt levels from the repayment of transition bonds.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 29.5 percent and 29.4 percent, respectively.

AGC'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Summary

Net income increased $1.0 million primarily due to an increase in AGC's investment in the Bath County Power Station. AGC increased its net investment in the power station through the accumulation of retained earnings in order to maintain a set debt-to-equity ratio. Through a cost-of-service rate schedule approved by the FERC, AGC recovers in revenues a return on its investment.

Operating Revenues

Operating Revenues increased $2.3 million primarily due to an increase in recoveries through regulated rates, which were brought about by higher interest expenses and an increase in AGC's investment in the Bath County Power Station. AGC's interest expenses increased primarily due to higher interest rates. Through a cost-of-service rate schedule approved by the FERC, AGC recovers in revenues all of its operation expense, depreciation, taxes, and a return on its investment.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense

The effective income tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 31.1 percent and 29.0 percent, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, REQUIREMENTS, AND RESOURCES

Liquidity and Capital Requirements

On February 25, 2003, and March 13, 2003, Allegheny entered into the Borrowing Facilities totaling $2,447.8 million with various credit providers to refinance and restructure the majority of AE and AE Supply's short-term debt. See "Liquidity Strategy," above, Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, above, and Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of the Borrowing Facilities and related debt covenant requirements. Allegheny and AE Supply have obtained waivers for these respective agreements' covenants for the reporting periods through and including September 30, 2003.

On September 29, 2003, Mountaineer obtained waivers with respect to its Note Purchase Agreements extending the respective agreements' covenant due dates for the 2002 annual audited financial statements until October 31, 2003. Also, Mountaineer has obtained waivers for the delivery of its unaudited financial statements to the noteholders for the first, second, and third quarters of 2003. Mountaineer provided its 2002 annual audited financial statements to noteholders on October 31, 2003. Mountaineer is required to deliver the first quarter 2003 unaudited financial statements by December 30, 2003. The second and third quarter 2003 unaudited financial statements are required to be delivered by February 1, 2004. These dates both include a 30-day grace period that is provided under the Note Purchase Agreements.

As a result of the receipt of waivers for Allegheny's financial debt covenants under the Borrowing Facilities and the failure to comply with certain covenants for financial reporting requirements under the majority of Allegheny's other debt, including Allegheny's First Mortgage Bonds, Transition Bonds, and Medium-Term Notes (for additional information, see the Consolidated Statements of Capitalization for each registrant in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K), as well as cross-covenant requirements in certain of Allegheny's Pollution Control Bonds (collectively "Other Indebtedness"), this debt is classified as current in accordance with EITF 86-30. See Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, in the "Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements" in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of these violations. The following table summarizes the amount of debt (excluding unamortized discounts and premiums) classified as current for each registrant, as a result of thes e failures to comply as of March 31, 2003:
(In millions)	Borrowing Facilities	Other Indebtedness

AE	$ 274.6	$ 305.0
AE Supply	1,411.8	1,536.4
Monongahela	---	683.8
Potomac Edison	---	420.0
West Penn	---	490.8
AGC	---	100.0
Total Allegheny	$1,686.4	$3,536.0

Cash Flows

Allegheny Energy, Inc.: Internal generation of cash, consisting of cash flows from operations reduced by common and preferred dividends, was $87.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $157.3 million for the prior period.

Cash flows from operations decreased $117.8 million, reflecting decreases in net income, accounts payable and contract termination costs, partially offset by an increase in taxes receivable/payable, net.

Cash flows used in investing increased $318.5 million, which was primarily the result of AE Supply's acquisition and buyout of the owner lessor of the Springdale generating facility, partially offset by lower construction expenditures.

Cash flows from financing increased $525.1 million, which was primarily the net result of the entry into the Borrowing Facilities and the decrease in dividends paid. Of amounts financed under the Borrowing Facilities, $420.0 million borrowed by AE Supply represented new liquidity. See Part I, Item 1, Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, for additional information regarding the Borrowing Facilities.

AE Supply: Internal use of cash, consisting of cash flows used in operations, was $48.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to an internal generation of cash, consisting of cash flows provided by operations of $113.3 million for the prior period. This is a net decrease in cash provided by operations of $162.0 million.

The decrease in cash flows provided by operations, to cash flows used in operations, $162.0 million, was primarily the result of decreases in net income, affiliated and non-affiliated accounts receivable, and accounts payable as well as payments related to trading contract terminations, partially offset by an increase in tax receipts.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $310.8 primarily due to the acquisition and buyout of the owner lessor of the Springdale generation facility for $318.4 million, partially offset by lower construction expenditures.

Cash flows from financing activities increased $567.7 million primarily due to $420.0 million in new financing available under the Borrowing Facilities.

Monongahela: Internal generation of cash, consisting of cash flows from operations reduced by common and preferred dividends, was $91.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $51.9 million for the prior period.

Cash flows from operations increased $36.0 million as a result of an increase in both affiliated and non-affiliated accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable and materials and supplies.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased $6.1 million primarily due to higher construction expenditures and the absence of cash inflows from land sales.

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $5.9 million, reflecting the decrease in common stock dividends paid to AE.

Potomac Edison: Internal generation of cash, consisting of cash flows from operations reduced by common dividends, was $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $9.9 million for the prior period.

Cash flows from operations increased by $18.0 million as a result of an increase in affiliated accounts payable and an increase in taxes receivable/payable, net, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable.

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $5.3 million due to lower construction expenditures and the cash inflow from the sale of land.

Cash flows used in financing activities increased by approximately $14.0 million, reflecting the increase in common stock dividends paid to AE and a decrease in affiliated notes payable, offset by the change in short-term debt.

West Penn: Internal use of cash, consisting of cash flows used in operations, was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This is a net decrease in cash used in operations of $4.3 million. This net decrease was primarily due to an increase in affiliated accounts payable, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid taxes.

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by approximately $7.6 million. This was the result of a reduction in cash inflows from the sale of land, partially offset by a decrease in construction expenditures.

Cash flows used in financing activities increased $27.8 million, reflecting a decrease in notes payable to affiliates, partially offset by a decrease in common stock dividends paid to AE.

AGC: Internal generation of cash, consisting of cash flows from operations reduced by common dividends, was $29.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to approximately $10.5 million for the prior period. Cash flows from operations increased $22.9 million primarily due to increases in affiliated accounts receivable/payable, net and taxes receivable/payable, net. Cash flows used in investing increased $0.8 million as a result of an increase in construction expenditures. Cash flows used in financing decreased $6.4 million reflecting an increase in dividend payments in the first quarter of 2003. Financing Debt: For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the following repayments and redemptions of long-term debt were made by registrant:
(In millions)	Issuances	Redemptions

AE	$ 315.0	$ (8.4)
AE Supply	1,662.8	(185.3)
Monongahela	---	(16.3)
Potomac Edison	---	---
West Penn	---	(19.9)
AGC	---	---
Allegheny	$1,977.8	$(229.9)

Allegheny has entered into the Borrowing Facilities on February 25, 2003, and March 13, 2003. See "Liquidity Strategy," above, and Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, for full descriptions of the Borrowing Facilities.

Short-term Debt: Allegheny and AE Supply manage short-term obligations with cash-on-hand. Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn manage short-term obligations through an internal money pool or cash-on-hand. As a method to accommodate intercompany short-term borrowing needs to the extent that certain companies have funds available, the money pool provides funds to approved Allegheny subsidiaries at the lower of the previous day's Federal Funds Effective Interest Rate, as quoted by the Federal Reserve, or the previous day's seven-day commercial paper rate, as quoted by the same source, less four basis points.

At March 31, 2003, no registrant had access to any short-term revolving credit facilities or lines of credit with third party financial institutions. A $10.0 million facility at Monongahela is classified as current. The facility was renegotiated as part of a $55.0 million revolving credit facility in September 2003. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for additional information.

A one percent increase in the short-term borrowing interest rate would increase projected short-term interest expense by approximately $0.1 million on $10 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004, based on projected short-term borrowings (which excludes the Borrowing Facilities). See "Liquidity Strategy," above, and Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, concerning the adequacy of cash flows to meet payment obligations.

OTHER MATTERS

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of Allegheny's critical accounting policies is included in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Allegheny, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC. Allegheny's critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those reported in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of SFAS No. 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. The amendments set forth in SFAS No. 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in SFAS No. 133 and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows, as well as amending certain other existing pronouncements. Those changes will result in more consistent reporting of contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives that warrant separate accounting. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entere d into or modified after June 30, 2003, except for certain implementation issues and certain provisions of forward purchase and sale contracts and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. There is no impact on the first quarter of 2003. Allegheny is evaluating the potential impacts of SFAS No. 149.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Federal Regulation

On March 15, 2001, the Distribution Companies filed a plan with the FERC to transfer functional control over their transmission system to PJM. The plan was approved by the FERC on January 30, 2002, and the Distribution Companies became members of PJM effective April 1, 2002. On November 17, 2003, the FERC issued a series of orders related to transmission rate design for the PJM and Midwest regions. Specifically, the FERC found that the pancaking of rates for movement of power between PJM and the Midwest region is not just and reasonable. The FERC ordered the elimination of pancaked rates and the implementation of a transitional rate design for a two-year period, and ordered the parties to develop a long-term rate design solution. While the transitional rate design is intended to keep transmission owners neutral with respect to transmission revenues for the two-year period, it is not clear that this will be the actual result. Because the data is still being collected and the details of the calculations ar e not yet worked out with the other transmission owners in PJM and the region, Allegheny does not know the full financial impact; however, based on preliminary calculations such impact could be material.

State Legislation and Regulatory Developments

Rate Matters

Ohio: For a discussion of rate matters in Ohio, see Note 16, Subsequent Events, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

West Penn: On November 25, 2003, West Penn filed a Petition for Issuance of a Second Supplement to its Previous Qualified Rate Orders. West Penn is asking the Commission to approve the issuance of additional transition bonds up to the amounts originally authorized by the Commission with approved carrying charges to securitize a remaining portion of West Penn's stranded costs.

The purpose of this second supplement to West Penn's Qualified Rate Order is to allow West Penn to refinance debt maturing in June 2004 at a favorable interest rate that would extend to 2010. It would also facilitate West Penn's financing and timely recovery of those portions of its previously stranded costs that are not recoverable on a timely basis, via West Penn's competitive transition charge, due to the operation of West Penn's generation rate cap.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Allegheny's primary market risk exposures are associated with interest rates and commodity prices. Allegheny has risk management policies to monitor and assist in controlling these market risks and uses derivative instruments to manage some of the exposures. A summary of Allegheny's market risks is included in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Allegheny, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC. Allegheny's market risks have not changed materially from those reported in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Allegheny identified a miscalculation in its business segment information after the filing of Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, and initiated a comprehensive review of its financial processes, records, and internal controls. As a result, Allegheny identified numerous accounting errors. See Item 14 of the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information concerning accounting errors and internal control deficiencies. Allegheny has implemented corrective actions to mitigate the risk that its internal control deficiencies could lead to material misstatements in the financial statements filed as part of this Form 10-Q. Allegheny developed and implemented a plan to perform significant additional procedures designed to mitigate the effects of the deficiencies in internal controls and hired outside professional services firms to assist in the performance of the additional procedures. Allegheny's additional procedures included the reconciliation and analysis of balance sheet accounts, analysis of various transactions for proper classification and cut-off, and the analysis of various accounting processes to determine additional actions necessary to ensure the accuracy of Allegheny's financial records and identify corrective actions needed to improve internal controls. However, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC), Allegheny's independent auditors, in their report dated September 12, 2003, have advised the Audit Committee of continuing material weaknesses noted during the 2002 audit. Allegheny's management, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors are fully committed to resolving Allegheny's internal control deficiencies. Ultimate resolution of the deficiencies will include changing the culture of the accounting function to focus on accountability and strict, timely adherence to a set of sound internal control policies and procedures. Allegheny has recently made substantial changes in its senior management. Management has taken or is undertaking the following corrective actions in order to achieve an immediate improvement in the controls environment:
(i)	Establishment of a Disclosure Committee as described below;
(ii)	Development of new policies, processes, and procedures to identify and remediate weaknesses and improve controls, including reconciliation, classification, and cut-off issues;
(iii)	The hiring of a new Corporate Controller on October 13, 2003;
(iv)	Reorganized financial results analysis for all of Allegheny's legal entities under the direction of a single high-level manager with four newly-created general manager positions, each responsible for a specific function and reporting to the designated high-level manager. Accounting professionals recruited from inside and outside of Allegheny will fill these four positions;
(v)	The establishment of a new department focused on the development and maintenance of accounting policies and procedures, and a new department comprised of the individuals responsible for SEC financial reporting matters. In addition, the department responsible for tax matters, including tax accounting, will report to the Corporate Controller. In order to improve communications and effectiveness of management oversight of individuals involved in the monthly accounting close processes, Allegheny is consolidating the department responsible for this activity at its offices in western Pennsylvania;
(vi)	Additional training and recruitment of highly skilled individuals to enhance the skill sets and capabilities of Allegheny's accounting leadership and staff. Allegheny has hired approximately 20 new accounting professionals with degrees in accounting, including six for critical leadership positions; and
(vii)	Continued assistance from outside professional services firms in Allegheny's performance of additional procedures necessary to mitigate the effects of internal control deficiencies until other corrective actions are implemented.
88

Longer-term corrective actions include:
(i)	Development of a detailed accounting policies and procedures manual under the direction of a newly-created department as discussed above; and
(ii)	Evaluation of data processing systems with a view to the improvement or replacement of systems related to energy trading and supply chain management, and implementation of data processing systems to enable the accounting function to further utilize technology-based solutions.

Regarding its internal controls for energy trading operations, Allegheny has revised its corporate energy risk policy to incorporate the best practices as defined by the Committee of Chief Risk Officers (CCRO) in its governance white paper issued in November 2002 and is in the process of implementing these best practices. As a result, the role and responsibilities of Allegheny's corporate risk management function, which is independent from its energy trading operations, have been significantly expanded to include the responsibility for determining the fair value of energy trading positions. Allegheny is in the process of establishing clear separation of duties for front-, middle-, and back-office activities. Allegheny also reduced transaction and exposure limits for its energy trading operations. Allegheny has undertaken an initiative to select from an outside provider and implement a new transaction processing system. It is expected that the core functions of this system will be in ope ration by the fall of 2004.

Allegheny expects to implement all of these corrective actions during the remainder of 2003 and 2004. Before December 31, 2004, Allegheny expects that it will have restored the effectiveness of its internal controls and will no longer need to rely on the performance of additional procedures to ensure the accuracy and completeness of its financial statements.

To address the weaknesses identified in Allegheny's internal controls and disclosure practices, Allegheny substantially augmented and revised its procedures in connection with the preparation of this report. These augmented procedures included a formal drafting group to comprehensively review, revise and update disclosure. This exercise also involved direct involvement by senior officers, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The principal elements of these augmented procedures have formed the basis for Allegheny's written disclosure controls and procedures applicable to periodic reports and certain public communications.

Allegheny has created a Disclosure Committee, which is chaired by Allegheny's General Counsel and currently is comprised of executives, including Allegheny's Chief Risk Officer, Vice President and Controller, Director of Audit Services and Manager of Communications, as well as the senior officers responsible for Allegheny's business segments. The Disclosure Committee's principal functions are to establish, maintain, monitor, and evaluate Allegheny's written disclosure controls and procedures, and to supervise and coordinate the preparation of Allegheny's periodic reports and certain other public

communications. Following its formation, the Disclosure Committee adopted formal written disclosure controls and procedures. These newly adopted disclosure controls and procedures will be applicable to Allegheny's future periodic reports and certain public communications. The Disclosure Committee, with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed the augmented procedures implemented by Allegheny in connection with the preparation of this report and found them to be satisfactory. However, until Allegheny completes the actions described above to achieve improvements in its internal controls, Allegheny intends to devote additional resources to ensure that its public disclosures are accurate. The above matters have been undertaken by Allegheny at the direction and with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and with extensive involvement of PwC and other outside professional services firms.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We have from time to time become involved in litigation incidental to our business activities. See Note 15, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS There were no sales of equity securities during the quarter covered by this report. During the third quarter of 2003, on July 25, AE completed the private placement of $300 million aggregate liquidation amount of its 11 7/8 percent Mandatory Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities) to a group of private investment funds. AE concluded that the placement qualified for exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, including under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act. This conclusion was based on several factors, including representations provided by the purchasers and the placement agents. The aggregate price paid by the purchasers in the private placement was $291 million (97 percent of par) after taking into account the 3percent issuance discount. AE paid aggregate placement agents' commissions of $11.5 million. AE realized net proceeds after expenses, including fees and expenses of purchasers' and agents' counsel, of $275 million. The Trust Preferred Securities will be convertible automatically into shares of AE common stock on or after June 15, 2006 in the event that the closing price per share of AE common stock equals or exceeds $15 over a specified averaging period. The Trust Preferred Securities are also convertible at the option of the holders at any time. The Trust Preferred Securities were issued in multiples of $1,000. The conversion price of the Trust Preferred Securities is $12 per AE common share (that is, 83.33 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities). The Trust Preferred Securities are convertible in the aggregate into 25 million shares of AE common stock. The terms of the Trust Preferred Securities relating to their conversion are subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions. ITEM 3. DEFAULTS ON SENIOR SECURITIES None ITEM 4. SUBMISSIONS OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of Monongahela's, Potomac Edison's, or West Penn's security holders during the first quarter of 2003.
