Explanatory Note



Duquesne Light Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) and Duquesne Light Company (Duquesne Light) are filing this Form 10-Q/A to (i)
reflect the restatement of prior period financial statements as contained in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 for both Holdings and Duquesne Light (together, the First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q), and (ii) to amend
the Certifications of Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer required under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 included as Exhibits 31.1, 31.2, 31.3 and 31.4 to the above-described quarterly reports.



The restatement corrects certain misclassifications with respect to
both the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in each of the above-described quarterly reports. None of the misclassifications have any impact on the historical earnings of either Holdings or
Duquesne Light. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for specific information related to the restatement.



The Certifications of Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer are being amended to address comments from the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commissions Office of the Chief Accountant, requiring the removal of each certifying individuals title from the first line of each certification.



Except as discussed in this Explanatory Note or in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, neither
Holdings nor Duquesne Light has modified or updated disclosures presented in the First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q in this Form 10-Q/A, except as required to reflect the effects of the items discussed above, and to make certain typographical corrections.
For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the complete text of the originally filed First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q rather than just the amended portions thereof. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A does not reflect events occurring
after the filing of the First Quarter 2004 Form 10 Q or modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events or discoveries. Information not affected by the restatement is unchanged and reflects the disclosures made at the time of the
original filing of the First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q on May 10, 2004. Events occurring after the filing of the First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q or other disclosures necessary to reflect subsequent events have been or will be addressed in Holdings
and Duquesne Lights original Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended June 30, 2004 and September 30, 2004 or amended Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for such quarterly periods, which are being filed concurrently with
the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, and any reports filed with the SEC subsequent to the date of this filing.



Other than the exhibits listed below, none of the exhibits previously filed with the original First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q have been re-filed with this
Form 10-Q/A.



This Form 10-Q/A should be read in
conjunction with Holdings and Duquesne Lights filings made with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the First Quarter 2004 Form 10-Q, including any amendments to those filings. The following items have been amended as a result of the
restatement described above:

NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The following Notes
present information on both Duquesne Light Holdings, Inc. (Holdings) and Duquesne Light Company (Duquesne Light). Information on Holdings and its subsidiaries (not including Duquesne Light and its subsidiaries) shall not be deemed to be included as
part of Duquesne Lights Notes. Specifically, information on the Energy Services and Financial business segments, the all other category, and discontinued operations is not so included.



References in the Notes to we, us and our
are to Holdings and its subsidiaries, collectively.

|1. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|-- | -------------------



Consolidation



Holdings
is an energy services holding company. Our subsidiaries include those discussed below.



Prior to March 31, 2004, the consolidated financial statements of Holdings and Duquesne Light included their accounts and their wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. The equity method of accounting was used for 20%
to 50% interests in other companies. Under the equity method, original investments are recorded at cost and adjusted by our share of undistributed earnings or losses of these companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in the consolidation.



Effective March 31, 2004, per
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46), we also consolidate variable interest entities for which we are the primary beneficiary, regardless of the ownership
percentage held by us. See Recent Accounting Pronouncements.



Continuing Operations



Duquesne Light, our
largest subsidiary, is an electric utility engaged in the supply (through its provider-of-last-resort service (POLR)), transmission and distribution of electric energy. Its subsidiaries are primarily involved in operating our automated meter reading
technology and providing financing to certain affiliates.



DQE
Energy Services, LLC is an energy facilities management company that provides energy outsourcing solutions including development, operation and maintenance of energy and synthetic fuel facilities.



DQE Communications, LLC owns, operates and maintains a high-speed, fiber
optic based network, and leases dark fiber from the network to commercial, industrial and academic customers.



DQE Financial Corp. owns and operates landfill gas collection and processing systems, and is an investment and portfolio management organization focused
on structured finance and alternative energy investments.



DQE
Capital Corporation provides financing to Holdings for use with its affiliates.



Discontinued Operations



During 2003,
AquaSource, Inc. (formerly our water resource management subsidiary) completed the sale of its assets, pursuant to agreements entered into in 2002. (See Note 8.)



Basis of Accounting



Holdings and Duquesne Light are subject to the accounting and reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Duquesne
Lights electricity delivery business is also subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) with respect to rates for delivery of electric power, accounting and
other matters.



As a result of Duquesne Lights
PUC-approved restructuring plan in 1998, the electricity supply segment does not meet the criteria of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. Pursuant to the
PUCs final restructuring order, and as provided in the Pennsylvania Electricity Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act (Customer Choice Act), generation-related transition costs are being recovered through a competitive transition
charge (CTC) collected in connection with providing transmission and distribution services, and these assets have been reclassified accordingly. The electricity delivery business segment continues to meet SFAS No. 71 criteria, and accordingly
reflects regulatory assets and liabilities consistent with cost-based ratemaking regulations. The regulatory assets represent probable future revenue, because provisions for these costs are currently included, or are expected to be included, in
charges to electric utility customers through the ratemaking process. (See Note 2.) These assets are currently being recovered over a period of approximately 28 years and are not earning a rate of return.



The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions with respect to values and conditions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period also may be affected by the estimates and assumptions management is required to make. Management evaluates these
estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical experience and other methods considered reasonable in the particular circumstances. Nevertheless, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.



The interim financial information for the three month periods ended March 31,
2004 and 2003 is unaudited and has been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements. In the opinion of



10



---

management, such unaudited information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
interim information. This information does not include all footnotes which would be required for complete annual financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



These statements should be read with the financial statements and notes
included in our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003 filed with the SEC. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the full year.



Reclassification



The 2003 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified
to conform with the 2004 presentation.



Recent Accounting Pronouncements



Variable Interest Entities



In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46, (as revised in December 2003, FIN
46R), which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (VIEs) by business enterprises that are the primary beneficiaries. A VIE is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit it to finance its
activities without additional subordinated financial support, or whose equity investors lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise with the majority of the risks or rewards
associated with the VIE. FIN 46R applies to public entities that have an interest in a structure that is commonly referred to as a special-purpose entity for periods ending after December 15, 2003. For all other types of VIEs, FIN 46R requirements
apply for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Holdings and Duquesne Light adopted the provisions of FIN 46R that apply to special purpose entities as of December 31, 2003, and the remainder of the provisions as of March 31, 2004.



Duquesne Capital L.P., a special-purpose limited partnership of which
Duquesne Light is the sole general partner, had outstanding as of March 31, 2004, $75 million principal amount, or three million shares, of 8 3/8% Monthly Income Preferred Securities, Series A (MIPS), each with a stated liquidation value of $25.00.
Until December 2003, Duquesne Light consolidated Duquesne Capital. Under FIN 46R, Duquesne Light is not the primary beneficiary of Duquesne Capital and as of December 31, 2003, has discontinued the consolidation of the subsidiary. The holders of the
MIPS are the primary beneficiaries because they bear the risk of absorbing the majority of any losses incurred by the partnership.



North Shore Affordable Housing, Inc. (NSAH), a DQE Financial subsidiary, owns a 1% general partnership interest in seven low-income housing development
guarantee funds. NSAH has guaranteed returns to the limited partners in these funds, and under FIN 46R, these guarantees cause NSAH to be considered the primary beneficiary. (See Note 7.) Therefore, as of March 31, 2004, we consolidated these funds
and eliminated any intercompany balances. The impact of this consolidation was an increase of approximately $48 million in our long-term investments and other non-current liabilities related to the equity of the limited partners. There was no impact
on consolidated shareholders equity, earnings or cash flow.



Duquesne Lights adoption of the remainder of the provisions of FIN 46R as of March 31, 2004, had no impact on its consolidated financial position, earnings or cash flows.



Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity



In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain
Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This standard requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that falls within its scope as a liability, or as an asset in some circumstances. This standard
was adopted effective July 1, 2003, and accordingly we began classifying Holdings preferred stock as a liability.



Holdings preferred stock falls within the scope of SFAS No. 150 due to the mandatory conversion feature embodied in this instrument and the fact that the
monetary value of the obligation is based solely on a fixed monetary amount that is known at inception. Dividends paid on the stock are classified as interest and other charges, rather than dividends, effective after July 1, 2003.



Earnings Per Share



Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the effect of the outstanding Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares, Holdings preferred stock, stock options and performance share awards.
The treasury stock method is used in computing the dilutive effect of stock options. This method assumes any proceeds obtained upon the exercise of options would be used



11

to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The following table presents the numerators and denominators used in computing the
diluted earnings per share for Holdings for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003.

|2. | RATE MATTERS
|-- | ------------



Provider of Last Resort



POLR I and II.Orion Power Midwest (a subsidiary of Reliant Resources, Inc.) is Duquesne Lights supplier under POLR I and POLR II (the rate plan and supply arrangement that applies once the competitive transition charge (CTC)
is collected). POLR II extends through December 31, 2004, and permits Duquesne Light a margin per MWh supplied. This margin fluctuates based on the mix of rate classes and number of customers participating in POLR II. The number of POLR customers
will fluctuate depending on market prices and the number of alternative generation suppliers in the retail supply business.



There are certain safeguards in POLR I and II designed to mitigate losses in the event that Orion defaults on its performance under the arrangement.
Contractually, Duquesne Light has various credit enhancements to address market exposure if Orion failed to deliver the required POLR supply. As of March 31, 2004, Duquesne Light held an irrevocable $4 million letter of credit that could be
increased based on Orions investment ratings and net worth. Duquesne Light also remits the POLR customer payments 35 days after billing the customer. Duquesne Light has the right not to remit these payments in the event of an Orion default.



If Orion were to fail to deliver, Duquesne Light would be
required to procure its POLR supply requirements in the energy markets. If market prices for energy were higher than the POLR rate at the time of default, Duquesne Light could potentially be acquiring energy for sale to POLR customers at a loss. If
that were to happen and the contractual provisions with Orion were not sufficient to cover any loss, Duquesne Light would seek regulatory recovery of any additional loss. While the Customer Choice Act provides generally for POLR supply costs to be
borne by customers, prior litigation suggests that the PUC may not permit Duquesne Light to pass any costs in excess of the existing PUC-approved POLR prices on to its customers.



Duquesne Light retains the risk that customers will not pay for the POLR generation supply. However, a component of Duquesne
Lights delivery rate is designed to cover the cost of a normal level of uncollectible accounts.



POLR III.In December 2003, Duquesne Light submitted POLR III, its rate plan and related generation supply plan intended to cover the period
beginning in 2005, to the PUC for approval. On April 16, 2004, Duquesne Light filed briefs with the PUC regarding a consensus it had reached with various customer advocate groups regarding POLR III. A final PUC order is expected on July 8, 2004.



Duquesne Light is committed to ensuring a stable, plentiful
supply of electricity for its customers. Toward that end, Duquesne Light anticipates joining the PJM regional transmission organization as part of POLR III. Duquesne Light expects to recover its incremental expenses incurred due to joining PJM
through its rates.



In October 2003, Duquesne Power, LP, a
newly formed subsidiary of Duquesne Light, announced the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase WPS Resources Corporations Sunbury generation station for approximately $120 million, which includes inventories and other items. As of
March 31, 2004, the non-refundable deposit related to the Sunbury acquisition equaled $2.7 million. On April 1, 2004, an additional $0.5 million deposit was paid. The Sunbury plant would be used in conjunction with Duquesne

as well as other related regulatory approvals.

|4. | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
|-- | ---------------------



In 2001 and 2002, restructuring charges related to (1) the consolidation and reduction of certain administrative and back-office functions through
involuntary termination plans; (2) the abandonment of certain office facilities; and (3) the write-off of certain leasehold-improvements related to those office facilities were recorded at Holdings and Duquesne Light.



The following tables summarize the restructuring activities for the Holdings
and Duquesne Light 2001 and 2002 restructuring plans for the three months ended March 31, 2004.

Both the Holdings and
the Duquesne Light restructuring liabilities are included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that the remaining provisions are adequate to complete the restructuring plan and expects that the
remaining restructuring liabilities will be paid on a monthly basis through 2006.



|5. | DISPOSITIONS
|-- | ------------



In February 2003, DQE Financial sold a limited partnership investment in a natural gas operating partnership for $18.5 million and recognized an after-tax
gain of $7.0 million.



13



---

|6. | NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
|-- | --------------------------------



As of March 31, 2004, $90 million was outstanding under the Duquesne Light revolving credit facility. These borrowings had been made primarily to retire
the $75 million of MIPS.



On March 3, 2004, and January 26,
2004, Duquesne Capital redeemed $25 million and $50 million principal amounts of its MIPS. Pursuant to the terms of the MIPS, Duquesne Light simultaneously redeemed $25.3 million and $50.5 million of its Subordinated Debentures. (See Note 1.)



On February 18, 2004, as part of an amended and restated
concession agreement with the City of New York, GSF Energy, L.L.C. (GSF), a DQE Financial subsidiary, paid $4.5 million to the City and was released from all financial obligations under the prior concession agreement, including the $21.4 million
note payable to the City. (See Note 7)



In March 2003, we
redeemed two long-term loans with principal amounts totaling $2.0 million relating to investments at DQE Financial.



|7. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
|-- | -----------------------------



Guarantees



As part of DQE Financials investment portfolio in seven affordable housing funds, we have received fees in exchange for guaranteeing a minimum
defined yield to third-party investors. We entered into these transactions between 1995 and 1999 because of the attractive risk/reward characteristics available to guarantors. This group of guarantees will expire by 2015. In the event the underlying
affordable housing properties do not generate the necessary minimum yield before their expiration, we will make cash payments necessary to achieve the minimum yield. The original amount guaranteed was approximately $250 million, and has declined as
investors have earned the guaranteed returns. We estimate the maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that we could be required to make under the guarantees if the investors earn no future returns was $56.2 million at March 31,
2004.



In connection with DQE Energy Services 2000
sale, through a subsidiary, of its synthetic fuel facilities, we agreed to guarantee the subsidiarys obligation under the sales agreement to indemnify the purchaser against breach of warranties, representations or covenants. The guarantee
generally extends up to six years or otherwise as stipulated under the statute of limitations, based on the expiration of the underlying warranty, representation, or covenant. We have determined our exposure to be limited, as both legal and factual
representations and warranties have been primarily limited to matters within the control and knowledge of our subsidiary. As such, no liability has been recorded on the statement of financial position. Also, Holdings has backed certain limited
obligations during a long-term contract held by its subsidiary with a $1.5 million payment guarantee that has not been recorded as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe these guarantees will have any material
impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.



In conjunction with certain transactions, primarily divestitures, we provide routine indemnifications (e.g., retention of previously existing environmental, tax and employee liabilities) whose terms range in duration
and often are not explicitly defined. Where appropriate, an obligation for such indemnifications is recorded as a liability. Because the obligated amounts of these types of indemnifications often are not explicitly stated, the overall maximum amount
of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. Other than obligations recorded as liabilities at the time of divestiture, historically we have not made significant payments for these indemnifications.



Employees



Duquesne Light is a party to a labor contract with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, which represents 969
of Duquesne Lights 1,341 employees. This contract expires in September 2006.



Pension Plans



Duquesne Light has an
obligation to contribute approximately $32.1 million to its pension plans over future years.



Income Taxes



Our state
income tax returns are subject to review by the relevant taxing jurisdictions, Pennsylvania being the most significant. The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue has issued assessments of additional tax for 1999 through 2001 primarily to include income
of a Duquesne Light out of state subsidiary corporation in Pennsylvania taxable income. If, as expected, the Department asserts the same positions for 2002 and 2003, Duquesne Lights total exposure for all years, without interest or penalty,
could approximate $90 million (net of associated federal benefit). Duquesne Light does not agree with the Department on this matter, and has filed an appeal for the 1999 tax year with the



14



---

Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court. The assessment for the 2000 tax year is currently awaiting decision from the Department. Ultimately, Duquesne Light expects
all years involved to be appealed to and decided at the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.



It is not possible to predict if, when or to what extent any state income tax adjustments ultimately proposed for the period 1999 through 2003 will be sustained. Duquesne Light does not believe that the ultimate
resolution of its state tax issue for this period will have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operation. However, the resolution, depending on the extent and timing thereof, could have a material adverse effect on
cash flows for the period in which they are paid.



Legal Proceedings



Shareholder Class Action. In October and November
2001, a number of putative class action lawsuits were filed by purported shareholders of Holdings against Holdings and David Marshall, our former chairman, chief executive officer and president, in the United States District Court for the Western
District of Pennsylvania. These cases were consolidated under the caption In re DQE, Inc. Securities Litigation, Master File No. 01-1851 (W.D. Pa.), and the plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended complaint on April 15, 2002. The complaint
alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). The complaint also
alleges controlling person liability under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 15 of the Securities Act. The complaint alleges that between December 6, 2000 and April 30, 2001, the defendants issued a number of materially false and
misleading statements concerning investments made by our subsidiary, DQE Enterprises, and the impact that these investments would have on our current and future financial results.



More particularly, the complaint alleges that Holdings and Marshall stated their expectation that certain companies in which
DQE Enterprises had invested would undertake initial public offerings of their shares, with the result that our earnings would be positively impacted by the public market valuation of DQE Enterprises interests in these companies, but failed to
disclose allegedly adverse facts that made the possibility of successful public offerings of the securities of these companies unlikely. The complaint seeks an award of unspecified compensatory damages, and an order permitting class members who
purchased Holdings shares through a dividend reinvestment plan to rescind those purchases, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees and expenses of litigation and unspecified equitable and injunctive relief.



On May 20, 2003, the court certified a class to include purchasers of our
common stock during the period from December 6, 2000 through April 30, 2001, and a sub-class to include purchasers of our common stock through our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan during the same period. Since December 2002, we have
been engaged in pre-trial discovery. Fact discovery concluded at the end of April 2004. Expert witness discovery has since begun, and will continue until August 2004.



Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case or estimate the range of any potential loss that may be
incurred in the litigation, we believe that the lawsuit is without merit, strenuously deny all of the plaintiffs allegations of wrongdoing and believe we have meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs claims. We are vigorously defending
this lawsuit.



Fresh Kills.GSF had a concession
agreement expiring in October 2018 for the gas rights to New York Citys Fresh Kills landfill. GSF also maintained an investment in a gas processing facility at the landfill and was constructing additional processing capacity when the World
Trade Center tragedy occurred. The debris from the World Trade Center was transported to the Fresh Kills landfill and currently rests on top of the landfills largest hill. During 2002, GSF realized reductions in available gas due to the
continued effects of the World Trade Center debris as well as other actions taken by the New York City Department of Sanitation resulting in further damage to its gas collection system. On January 16, 2003, GSF initiated litigation against the City
of New York acting by and through its Department of Sanitation in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Concurrently, GSF tendered notice of its intent to surrender the concession agreement in 180 days as permitted
by the concession agreement. The surrender date was extended to facilitate settlement discussions.



The complaint sought rescission of the concession agreement and related relief and sought an injunction to prevent the City from taking any action to
declare an event of default under the concession agreement, accelerate payment under a promissory note or draw on letters of credit supporting GSFs obligations thereunder. On that same date, GSF filed a notice of claim with the New York City
Comptroller seeking monetary relief as an



15



---

alternative to its rescission and other claims set forth in the complaint.



On January 7, 2004, GSF and the City executed an amended and restated concession agreement. Closing on the agreement
occurred February 18, 2004, at which time GSF paid $4.5 million to the City and was released from all financial obligations under the prior concession agreement (including the remaining $21.4 million note payable balance to the City). As a direct
result of the settlement, we recorded deferred income of approximately $16 million, which is being recognized ratably over the new contract term. As of March 31, 2004, approximately $15 million of deferred income is included in other non-current
liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the new agreement GSF will perform routine and non-routine maintenance of the landfill gas processing facility and routine maintenance of the landfill gas collection system through June
30, 2006, if the City does not terminate the agreement earlier. Future revenues from gas sales at the site will be shared between the City and GSF only if such revenues exceed a certain fixed threshold. The lawsuit was withdrawn with prejudice on
February 18, 2004.



Discontinued Operations



As part of the sale of AquaSource, we retained certain obligations related
to the business that was sold to Aqua America, Inc. (formerly Philadelphia Suburban Corporation), including responsibility for certain existing litigation matters as well as a 10-year indemnity for certain pre-closing environmental claims. We
purchased an environmental liability policy to mitigate this indemnity. We also have a maximum three-year indemnity obligation for certain other pre-closing liabilities that is limited by a $15 million indemnity cap. To date, indemnity claims of
which we are aware are not significant.



|8. | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
|-- | -----------------------



Pursuant to agreements entered into in 2002 to sell the majority of our investment in AquaSource, as well as our subsequent sale of the remaining net
assets of AquaSource, this subsidiary has been reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.



AquaSource



In 2003, AquaSource closed the sale of its investor-owned water utilities (and certain related contract operations) to Aqua America for an estimated
purchase price of approximately $190.2 million in cash, after purchase price and working capital adjustments. The final purchase price will be determined once various purchase price adjustments are applied. These adjustments will be based on the
pre-closing achievement of specific performance measures related to revenue, rate base and customer connections, as well as working capital. The maximum remaining purchase price adjustment that could result is approximately $12 million. However, we
have been unable to resolve remaining purchase price issues, and with Aqua America, will be appointing an arbitrator. We do not expect that any additional purchase price adjustments will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or
results of operations.



On March 31, 2003, AquaSource sold
its water and wastewater utility construction business to former members of AquaSource management for approximately $8 million. Of the total purchase price, $3.3 million is in the form of a personally guaranteed promissory note that bears interest
at 3.5% per annum and is payable in full, including accrued but unpaid interest, on the second anniversary of the closing date. Also in the first quarter of 2003, AquaSource sold its New England contract operations for approximately $1.3 million.

discontinued operations:

RESTATEMENT



Subsequent to the issuance of the
Holdings and Duquesne Light condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2004, management determined that certain misclassifications existed in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated
statements of cash flows. The misclassifications relate primarily to the following:



CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS



Management of both Holdings and Duquesne Light determined that certain Duquesne Light customer receivables that had been fully reserved for and were presented on a net basis for external reporting purposes, should
have been reflected on a gross basis. As such, electric customers receivables and the allowance for uncollectible accounts as of March 31, 2004 have been increased from the amounts previously reported.



Management of both Holdings and Duquesne Light determined that certain
tax liabilities were incorrectly included within deferred tax liabilities. Such amounts have been reclassified primarily to other non-current liabilities as of March 31, 2004. Management also determined that certain tax assets were incorrectly
presented on a net basis for external reporting purposes. After taking into consideration the anticipated timing of the realization of the assets, such amounts have been reclassified, thereby increasing current assets and liabilities, as well as
non-current assets from the amounts previously reported as of March 31, 2004.



CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS



Holdings management has determined that the historical presentation of cash flows from discontinued operations within net cash provided from operating activities was not proper as the cash flows from discontinued
operations also included cash flows related to both investing and financing activities. Accordingly, amounts on Holdings condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 have been restated to
appropriately classify cash flows from discontinued operations as either operating, investing or financing activities.



Holdings and its subsidiaries participate in a cash pool arrangement with their affiliate, DQE Capital. Changes in Duquesne Lights investment in the
cash pool have historically been reflected in Duquesne Lights condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as a component of net cash provided from operating activities. Management has determined that the cash flow activity from this
arrangement should have been classified as cash flows from investing activities and has restated the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. Because the cash pool arrangement eliminates in
the consolidation of Holdings, this restatement has no impact on Holdings condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.



The principal effects of these adjustments on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for Holdings are as follows (in millions):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



We report the following business segments: (1) Duquesne
Lights transmission and distribution of electricity (electricity delivery business segment), (2) Duquesne Lights supply of electricity (electricity supply business segment), (3) Duquesne Lights collection of competitive transition
costs (CTC) (CTC business segment), (4) DQE Energy Services development, operation and maintenance of energy facilities and, for a single customer, synthetic fuel facilities (Energy Services business segment), and (5) DQE Financials
collection and processing of landfill gas and management of structured finance and alternative energy investments (Financial business segment). We also report an all other category to include our other subsidiaries below the quantitative
threshold for disclosure, and corporate administrative functions, financing, and insurance services for our various affiliates. Operating revenues in our all other category are comprised of revenues from DQE Communications.



Note 11 shows the financial results of each principal business segment in
tabular form. Following is a discussion of these results.



Overall
Performance



Three months ended March 31, 2004. Our
earnings available for common stock were $21.8 million, or $0.29 basic earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2004, compared to earnings of $29.4 million, or $0.39 basic earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2003. The average shares
outstanding increased 1.4 million, or 1.9%, compared to the first quarter of 2003



Our earnings from continuing operations available for common stock were $21.7 million, or $0.29 basic earnings per share, in the first quarter of 2004, compared to $27.7 million, or $0.37 basic earnings per share, in
the first quarter of 2003. This decrease of $6.0 million was due primarily to the $7.0 million after-tax gain from DQE Financials sale of its limited partnership investment in a natural gas operating partnership in the first quarter of 2003.



20



---

Duquesne Lights earnings available for common stock were $17.0 million in the first quarter of
2004, compared to $15.9 million in the first quarter of 2003. The $1.1 million increase in earnings at Duquesne Light is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense, which was partially offset by increased operating expenses. During 2003,
Duquesne Light retired $200 million of first mortgage bonds and $2.8 million of 5% Sinking Fund Debentures (due 2010), and during the first quarter of 2004, retired $75.8 million of subordinated debentures. These debt retirements resulted in a $4.6
million decrease in interest expense in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2003. Operating expenses increased $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2003, due primarily to increases in both pension and postretirement benefit
expenses and billing and collection costs.



Business Segment Performance



Electricity Delivery Business
Segment.



Three months ended March 31, 2004. The
electricity delivery business segment reported $11.8 million of earnings in the first quarter of 2004 compared to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2003, an increase of $1.1 million, or 10.3%, as a result of higher operating revenues and lower
interest charges, partially offset by higher operating expenses.



Operating revenues for this business segment are primarily derived from the delivery of electricity, including related excise taxes. Sales to residential and commercial customers are primarily influenced by weather conditions. Warmer summer
and colder winter seasons lead to increased customer use of electricity for cooling and heating. Commercial sales also are affected by regional development. Sales to industrial customers are influenced by national and global economic conditions.



Operating revenues increased by $1.7 million, or 2.1%,
compared to the first quarter of 2003. The increase in revenues can primarily be attributed to the 1.5% increase in megawatt-hours (MWh) delivered to customers as shown in the following table.



|              |  |                |  |       |  |        |  
|------------- |  | -------------- |  | ----- |  | ------ | -
|              |  | MWh Delivered  | 
|              |  | (In Thousands) | 
|First Quarter |  | 2004           |  | 2003  |  | Change |  
|Residential   |  | 1,004          |  | 979   |  | 2.6    | %
|Commercial    |  | 1,581          |  | 1,566 |  | 1.0    | %
|Industrial    |  | 812            |  | 801   |  | 1.4    | %
|              |  |                |  |       |  |        |  
|              |  | 3,397          |  | 3,346 |  | 1.5    | %
|              |  |                |  |       |  |        |  



As 2004 was a leap
year, the extra day in the quarter accounted for an approximate 1.1% increase in overall MWh sales. Sales to residential customers increased by 2.6% due in part to leap year, and to an overall increase in the use of electricity per customer. Sales
to customers in the commercial sector increased by 1.0% reflecting the slightly milder winter weather that occurred during the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2003, partially offsetting the effect of the additional days sales in 2004. Sales
to industrial customers increased by 1.4% compared to the first quarter of 2003, as gains in the sales to durable goods manufacturers more than offset a sales decline to other industrial customers.



Operating expenses for the electricity delivery business segment consist
primarily of costs to operate and maintain the transmission and distribution system; meter reading, billing and collection costs; customer service; administrative expenses; and non-income taxes, such as gross receipts, property and payroll taxes.
Operating expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 7.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to a $1.1 million increase in employee pension and postretirement benefit expenses and a $1.1 million increase in billing and collection
costs in the first quarter of 2004.



Other income includes
interest income on invested cash and intercompany loans, as well as gains and losses recognized on the sale of certain assets. Other income decreased $1.5 million, or 27.8%, compared to the first quarter of 2003, due primarily to a $1.0 million
reduction in interest earnings. This was a result of a decrease in invested cash in 2004, due to the debt retirements that occurred in 2003 and 2004 as outlined below.



Interest and other charges include interest on long-term debt, other interest and preferred stock dividends of Duquesne
Light. Interest and other charges decreased $4.6 million, or 27.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2003 due to (i) $100.0 million of debt retirements in August 2003, which reduced interest expense by $1.8 million, (ii) $100.0 million of debt
retirements in December 2003, which reduced interest expense by $1.9 million, and (iii)

$75.8 million of subordinated debenture redemptions on January 26, 2004, which reduced interest expense by $0.9 million.



Electricity Supply Business Segment.



Three months ended March 31, 2004. The electricity supply business
segment reported earnings of $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2004, the same as in the first quarter of 2003, as lower operating expenses were offset by lower operating revenues.



Operating revenues for this business segment are derived primarily from the supply of electricity for delivery to retail
customers and, to a much lesser extent, the supply of electricity to wholesale customers. Retail energy requirements fluctuate as the number of customers participating in customer choice changes. Energy requirements for residential and commercial
customers are also influenced by weather conditions; temperature extremes lead to increased customer use of electricity for cooling and heating. Commercial energy requirements are also affected by regional development. Energy requirements for
industrial customers are primarily influenced by national and global economic conditions.



Short-term sales to other utilities are made at market rates. Fluctuations result primarily from excess daily energy deliveries to Duquesne Lights electricity delivery system.



Operating revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 2.0%, compared to the first
quarter of 2003, due to a decrease in the MWh supplied because a higher percentage of customers chose an alternative generation supplier. This more than offset the effect of the additional days sales in the first quarter of 2004.



The following tables set forth MWh supplied for POLR customers.

Operating expenses for
the electricity supply business segment consist of costs to obtain energy for our provider of last resort service and gross receipts tax, both of which fluctuate in direct relation to operating revenues. Operating expenses decreased $2.3 million, or
2.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2003, due to the decrease in the total MWh supplied to customers as described above.



CTC Business Segment.



Three months ended March 31, 2004. For the CTC business segment, operating revenues are derived by billing electricity delivery customers for
generation-related transition costs. Duquesne Light is allowed to earn an 11% pre-tax return on the net-of-tax CTC balance. As revenues are billed to customers on a monthly basis, we amortize the CTC balance and recognize the associated gross
receipts tax expense. The resulting decrease in the CTC balance causes a decline in the return earned by Duquesne Light.



In the first quarter of 2004, the CTC business segment reported earnings of $0.1 million, the same as during the first quarter of 2003. Operating
revenues, expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense declined compared to 2003 due to the continued collection of the CTC balance from our customers. The CTC balance has been fully collected from all but one customer class, which consists
of two large industrial customers.



Energy Services Business Segment.



Three months ended March 31, 2004. The Energy
Services business segment reported earnings of $4.0 million, compared to $3.7 million in the first quarter of 2003. The $0.3 million, or 8.1%, increase is primarily due to higher earnings from synthetic fuel facility management services contracts,
partially offset by lower earnings from energy facility management services contracts.



Operating revenues for this business segment are primarily derived from the facility management



22



---

services for industrial, airport and synthetic fuel customers. Operating revenues increased $1.2 million, or 9.6%, compared to the first quarter of 2003.
This increase is principally due to higher synthetic fuel production related to the synthetic fuel facility management services contracts.



Operating expenses consist of the operating and maintenance costs to manage the facilities, as well as general corporate overhead. Operating expenses
increased $0.4 million, or 5.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to higher natural gas costs related to the energy facility management services contracts.



Financial Business Segment.



Three months ended March 31, 2004. The Financial business segment reported earnings of $6.9 million in the first quarter of 2004, compared to $14.4
million in the first quarter of 2003. The $7.5 million decrease was primarily due to an after-tax gain of $7.0 million recognized in 2003 on the sale of its limited partnership investment in a natural gas operating partnership.



Operating revenues in this business segment are primarily derived from the
sale of landfill gas. Operating expenses consist of various costs to operate and maintain the landfill gas sites, as well as expenses related to alternative fuel investments. Neither of these line items had a significant fluctuation in the first
quarter of 2004 compared to 2003.



Other income consists of
income from the structured lease and affordable housing investments, and gains recognized on the sale of investments. Other income decreased $14.3 million, or 81.3%, compared to the first quarter of 2003, due primarily to the $10.8 million pre-tax
gain recognized on the sale of its limited partnership investment previously discussed. In addition, there was a $4.1 million decrease in the income recognized from the leveraged lease investments in the first quarter of 2004 compared to 2003,
primarily as a result of the settlement reached with the Internal Revenue Service in December 2003 concerning these investments.



Income taxes consist of our provision for federal income taxes as well as the tax credits generated from our synthetic fuel limited partnership and
landfill gas investments. Our income tax benefit increased $5.9 million, or 310.5%, from the first quarter of 2003, primarily due to the $3.8 million of income tax expense recognized in the first quarter of 2003 as a result of the gain from the sale
of our limited partnership investment.



Income tax credits
generated in the first quarter of 2004 were $7.1 million, compared to $6.2 million in 2003, an increase of $0.9 million, or 14.5%. This increase is due primarily to an increase of $1.1 million in the tax credits generated from our synthetic fuel
limited partnership investment, offset by a decrease in tax credits generated from our landfill gas investments.



All Other



Three months ended March 31, 2004. The all other category reported a loss of $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2004, compared to a loss of $5.8
million in the first quarter of 2003. This $0.4 million additional loss was primarily due to higher operating expenses in the first quarter of 2004, caused by higher insurance costs.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



Capital Expenditures



In the first three months of 2004, Duquesne Light spent $18.9 million for electric utility construction. In addition, Holdings spent $0.2 million
on capital expenditures relating to our other business lines and other investments. We estimate that during 2004, Duquesne Light will spend, excluding the allowance for funds used during construction, approximately $80 million for electric utility
construction related to its transmission and distribution infrastructure, and Holdings will spend $3 million for construction by our other businesses.



Asset Dispositions



Continuing Operations. In February 2003, DQE Financial sold its limited partnership investment in a natural gas operating partnership for $18.5
million and recognized an after-tax gain of $7.0 million.



Discontinued Operations.In March 2003, AquaSource closed the sale of its water and wastewater utility construction business to former members of AquaSource management for approximately $8 million. Also in the first quarter of 2003,
AquaSource sold its New England contract operations for approximately $1.3 million.



Financing



On February 18, 2004, GSF Energy,
L.L.C. (GSF), a DQE Financial subsidiary, paid the City of New York $4.5 million and was released from all financial obligations of the prior Fresh Kills concession agreement, including a $21.4 million note payable balance. As a direct result of the
settlement, we will



23



---

recognize approximately $16 million into income ratably over the new contract term, scheduled to end June 30, 2006. (See Note 7.)



On March 3, 2004, and January 26, 2004, Duquesne Capital, L.P., a special
purpose subsidiary of Duquesne Light, redeemed $25 million and $50 million principal amounts of its 8 3/8% Monthly Income Preferred Securities (MIPS). Pursuant to the terms of the MIPS, Duquesne Light simultaneously redeemed $25.3 million and $50.5
million of its 8 3/8% Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures, Series A, due May 31, 2044 (Subordinated Debentures). (See Note 1.)



As of March 31, 2004, borrowings under Duquesne Lights credit facility were $90 million.



On April 16, 2004, Duquesne Light issued 1.5 million shares of 6.5% Preferred
Stock ($50 par and involuntary liquidation value per share) under its existing $300 million shelf registration statement. The net proceeds of approximately $73 million were used to partially repay short-term borrowings made under Duquesne
Lights credit facility.



On April 21, 2004, Duquesne
Capital called the remaining $75 million of its MIPS for redemption on May 21, 2004. Duquesne Light will simultaneously redeem $75.8 million of its Subordinated Debentures.



Our financing plan includes a proposed issuance of first mortgage bonds under Duquesne Lights shelf registration
statement. The proceeds from such an issuance, together with funds from other sources, would be used to replenish working capital used to redeem long-term debt in December 2003, refinance debt, and repay revolving credit facility borrowings, as well
as for general corporate purposes.



Liquidity



During the first quarter of 2004, Duquesne Light made tax payments of
approximately $52 million in the normal course of business, primarily related to the required prepayment of the 2004 gross receipts tax liability.



We maintain two 364-day, unsecured revolving credit agreements, one for $180 million at Duquesne Light and one for $110 million at Holdings. Both expire
in September 2004. We may convert each revolving credit facility into a one-year term loan facility for (i) the amount of letters of credit outstanding plus (ii) one-half of the principal loan amounts less the amount of letters of credit
outstanding.



As of March 31, 2004, we had $90 million of
borrowings under Duquesne Lights credit facility and $0.2 million of current debt maturities. During the first three months of 2004, for both Holdings and Duquesne Light, the maximum amount of bank loans outstanding was $90 million, the amount
of average daily borrowings was $41.1 million and the weighted average daily interest rate was 2.34%.



Under our credit facilities, we are subject to financial covenants requiring each of Holdings and Duquesne Light to maintain a maximum
debt-to-capitalization ratio of 65.0%, as defined in the facilities. In addition, Holdings is required to maintain a minimum coverage ratio of 2-to-1, as defined in the facilities. At March 31, 2004, we were in compliance with these covenants.



At April 30, 2004, no loans were outstanding under the
Holdings facility and $40 million was outstanding under the Duquesne Light facility. In addition, as of April 30, 2004, we had $82.1 million in standby letters of credit (including $10.4 million relating to Duquesne Light), all of which are backed
by the revolving credit agreements, leaving $167.9 million available (including $129.6 million available at Duquesne Light). These letters of credit relate primarily to DQE Financial.



Decreases in our credit ratings could result in an inverse change in the fees and interest rates charged under the
facilities. Both revolving credit agreements are subject to cross-default if Duquesne Light or any subsidiary defaults on any payment due under any indebtedness exceeding $50 million. In addition, the $110 million revolver is subject to
cross-default if Holdings or any subsidiary defaults on any payments due under any of its indebtedness exceeding $50 million.



Holdings Preferred Stock, Series A



As of March 31, 2004, 117,373 shares of Holdings preferred stock were outstanding and included in liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
(See Note 1.) Each outstanding share is redeemable for cash or convertible at our option into the number of shares of our common stock computed by dividing the preferred stocks $100 per share liquidation value by the five-day average closing
sales price of common stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the conversion date.



24



---

Each outstanding share of Holdings preferred stock will automatically be converted on the first day of
the first month commencing after the sixth anniversary of its issuance. On April 1, 2004, we converted 6,240 shares into 32,488 shares of common stock. On May 1, 2004, we converted 18,565 shares into 96,880 shares of common stock. The remaining
conversions will take place as set forth in the following table:



|                  |  |                 
|----------------- |  | ----------------
|Conversion Date   |  | Number of Shares
|September 1, 2004 |  | 17,334          
|December 1, 2004  |  | 9,085           
|January 1, 2005   |  | 41,183          
|February 1, 2005  |  | 23,960          
|April 1, 2005     |  | 1,006           



OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS



Except for the guarantees discussed in Note 7, neither
Holdings nor Duquesne Light has any material off-balance sheet arrangements. Neither Holdings nor Duquesne Light is involved in any material contract trading activities. Duquesne Light owns a 1% general partnership interest in Duquesne Capital, the
unconsolidated issuer of the MIPS. (See Financing and Note 1.)



RATE MATTERS



Competitive Transition Charge



Under Customer Choice, customers must choose to receive their electric
energy from an alternative generation supplier or through Duquesne Lights POLR arrangements. Customers who select an alternative generation supplier pay for generation charges set competitively by that supplier, and pay Duquesne Light
transmission and distribution charges and any CTC that has not already been collected for a customers rate class.



Duquesne Light has completed the CTC collection from all but one customer class, which is comprised of only two industrial customers. The transition
costs, as reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are being amortized over the same period that the CTC revenues are being recognized. Duquesne Light is allowed to earn an 11.0% pre-tax return on these amounts.



Provider of Last Resort



POLR I and II.Orion Power Midwest (a subsidiary of Reliant Resources, Inc.) is Duquesne Lights supplier
under POLR I and II. POLR II extends through December 31, 2004, and permits Duquesne Light a margin per MWh supplied. This margin fluctuates based on the mix of rate classes and number of customers participating in POLR II. The number of POLR
customers will fluctuate depending on market prices and the number of alternative generation suppliers in the retail supply business.



There are certain safeguards in POLR I and II designed to mitigate losses in the event that Orion defaults on its performance under the arrangement.
Contractually, Duquesne Light has various credit enhancements to address market exposure if Orion failed to deliver the required POLR supply. As of March 31, 2004, Duquesne Light held an irrevocable $4 million letter of credit that could be
increased based on Orions investment ratings and net worth. Duquesne Light also remits the POLR customer payments 35 days after billing the customer. Duquesne Light has the right not to remit these payments in the event of an Orion default.



If Orion were to fail to deliver, Duquesne Light would be
required to procure its POLR supply requirements in the energy markets. If market prices for energy were higher than the POLR rate at the time of default, Duquesne Light could potentially be acquiring energy for sale to POLR customers at a loss. If
that were to happen and the contractual provisions with Orion were not sufficient to cover any loss, Duquesne Light would seek regulatory recovery of any additional loss. While the Customer Choice Act provides generally for POLR supply costs to be
borne by customers, prior litigation suggests that the PUC may not permit Duquesne Light to pass any costs in excess of the existing PUC-approved POLR prices on to its customers.



Duquesne Light retains the risk that customers will not pay for the POLR generation supply. However, a component of Duquesne
Lights delivery rate is designed to cover the cost of a normal level of uncollectible accounts.



POLR III.In December 2003, Duquesne Light submitted POLR III, its rate plan and related generation supply plan intended to cover the period
beginning in 2005, to the PUC for approval. On April 16, 2004, Duquesne Light filed briefs with the PUC which could result in the resolution of all issues between it and advocates representing residential, small commercial and a group of major
commercial and industrial customers. These filings by Duquesne Light, the Office of the Consumer Advocate, the Office of Small Business Advocate and the Duquesne Industrial Intervenors note that the groups have reached consensus on all issues and
that Duquesne Lights amended supply proposal is reasonable and in the public interest.



The following paragraphs describe the major features of the POLR III proposal, as amended by the briefs.



For residential and small business customers, Duquesne Light proposed a six-year, fixed-price POLR service plan. Customers would receive electric service
for the first three years, beginning in 2005, at fixed rates as originally proposed by Duquesne Light



25



---

(approximately 12% above current rates). The second three years, beginning in 2008, would have rates bounded by both a floor (the rates for the first three
years) and a ceiling (up to an additional 9%, as originally proposed). Despite the increases, these rates would still be below those charged prior to deregulation in 1996.



For our larger commercial and industrial customers, the supply options would be:



| |  |  | An hourly price service that passes through real-time spot market electricity prices within the PJM regional transmission organization (discussed below).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | A fixed price service based upon the results of an annual competitive request-for-proposal process. Duquesne Light would receive an adder as compensation for costs and risks
involved in providing energy to those customers. Different by rate class, the adder would, on average, equate to $2.70 per MWh based on POLR retention levels in 2003.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | An electric generation service offered by a competitive supplier in Duquesne Lights service area.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Duquesne Light would also agree, for the first three years of POLR III, not to seek an increase in distribution rates for
all Duquesne Light customers except under very specific and limited circumstances. In addition, Duquesne Light would provide renewable and environmentally beneficial energy resources as part of its supply plan.



While Duquesne Light has reached agreement with all of its major customer
groups, some competitive suppliers are opposed to these filings. Their objections will be evaluated as part of the overall PUC review process. The administrative law judge is expected to make a recommended decision during the week of May 24, and a
final PUC order is scheduled for July 8.



The following table
provides selected financial and operating statistics for the first three months of 2004 for the customer groups described above.

In October 2003,
Duquesne Power, LP, a newly formed subsidiary of Duquesne Light, announced the signing of a definitive agreement to purchase WPS Resources Corporations Sunbury generation station for approximately $120 million, which includes inventories and
other items. The Sunbury plant, which has a total rated coal-fired generation capacity of 402 megawatts, would be used in conjunction with Duquesne Lights POLR III service to residential and small commercial electric customers. Closing on the
transaction is conditioned on PUC approval of POLR III, as well as other related regulatory approvals.



As of April 30, 2004, Duquesne Power had made deposits totaling $3.2 million. Total deposits will equal $5.5 million by October 2004. All deposits are
non-refundable and will be applied to the final purchase price at closing.



Duquesne Power would combine the output of the Sunbury station with a portfolio of wholesale power purchase contracts in order to provide Duquesne Light a full-requirements POLR III-supply contract for our residential
and small business customers. As a means of managing the various risks related to this contract, and at the same time building long-term value for the company, Duquesne Power would focus on a portfolio strategy. This portfolio approach, which may
include blocks of traditional wholesale contracts with multiple suppliers, is intended to increase long-term flexibility. The addition of Sunbury to the supply portfolio would benefit Duquesne Lights POLR customers as well as help to diversify
risk.



Duquesne Light is committed to ensuring a stable,
plentiful supply of electricity for its customers. Toward that end, Duquesne Light anticipates joining the PJM regional transmission organization as part of POLR III. Duquesne Light expects to recover its incremental expenses incurred due to joining
PJM through its rates.

|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
|------- | -----------------------------------------------------------



Market risk represents the risk of financial loss that may impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse
changes in market prices and rates.



Holdings.We manage
our interest rate risk by balancing our exposure between fixed and variable rates, while attempting to minimize our interest costs. Currently, our variable interest rate debt is approximately $320.1 million, or 34.3%, of long-term debt. This
variable rate debt is low-cost, tax-exempt debt. We also manage our interest rate risk by retiring and issuing debt from time to time and by maintaining a balance of short-term and long-term debt. A 10% increase in interest rates would have affected
our variable rate debt obligations by increasing interest expense by approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. A 10% reduction in interest rates would have increased the market value of our
fixed-rate debt by approximately $29.5 million as of March 31, 2004. Such changes would not have had a significant near-term effect on our future earnings or cash flows.



Duquesne Light. Duquesne Light manages its interest rate risk by balancing its exposure between fixed and variable
rates, while attempting to minimize its interest costs. Currently, its variable interest rate debt is approximately $320.1 million, or 38.4%, of long-term debt. This variable rate debt is low-cost, tax-exempt debt. Duquesne Light also manages its
interest rate risk by retiring and issuing debt from time to time and by maintaining a balance of short-term and long-term debt. A 10% increase in interest rates would have affected its variable rate debt obligations by increasing interest expense
by approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. A 10% reduction in interest rates would have increased the market value of its fixed-rate debt by approximately $19.1 million as of March 31, 2004.
Such changes would not have had a significant near-term effect on its future earnings or cash flows.



See our Provider of Last Resort discussion in Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for discussion of market risk associated with our POLR obligation.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures.
|------- | ------------------------



Management of both Holdings and Duquesne Light, with the participation of each entitys Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has
evaluated their respective disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, including
the restatement for certain misclassifications that existed on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows as set forth in Note 12, each entitys Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial
Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in Holdings and Duquesne Lights reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC.



There has been no change in Holdings or Duquesne Lights internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter that
has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION.



|Item 1. | Legal Proceedings.
|------- | ------------------



Shareholder Class Action. In October and November 2001, a number of putative class action lawsuits were filed by purported shareholders of Holdings
against Holdings and David Marshall, our former chairman, chief executive officer and president, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. These cases were consolidated under the caption In re DQE, Inc. Securities
Litigation, Master File No. 01-1851 (W.D. Pa.), and the plaintiffs filed a second consolidated amended complaint on April 15, 2002. The complaint alleges violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange
Act) and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, and Section 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act). The complaint also alleges controlling person liability under Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 15 of
the Securities Act. The complaint alleges that between December 6, 2000 and April 30, 2001, the defendants issued a number of materially false and misleading statements concerning investments made by our subsidiary, DQE Enterprises, Inc., and the



27



---

impact that these investments would have on our current and future financial results.



More particularly, the complaint alleges that Holdings and Marshall stated their expectation that certain companies in which
DQE Enterprises had invested would undertake initial public offerings of their shares, with the result that our earnings would be positively impacted by the public market valuation of DQE Enterprises interests in these companies, but failed to
disclose allegedly adverse facts that made the possibility of successful public offerings of the securities of these companies unlikely. The complaint seeks an award of unspecified compensatory damages, and an order permitting class members who
purchased Holdings shares through a dividend reinvestment plan to rescind those purchases, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys fees and expenses of litigation and unspecified equitable and injunctive relief.



On May 20, 2003, the court certified a class to include purchasers of our
common stock during the period from December 6, 2000 through April 30, 2001, and a sub-class to include purchasers of our common stock through our dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan during the same period. Since December 2002, we have
been engaged in pre-trial discovery. Fact discovery concluded at the end of April 2004. Expert witness discovery has since begun, and will continue until August 2004.



Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case or estimate the range of any potential loss that may be
incurred in the litigation, we believe that the lawsuit is without merit, strenuously deny all of the plaintiffs allegations of wrongdoing and believe we have meritorious defenses to the plaintiffs claims. We are vigorously defending
this lawsuit.



Other. We are involved in various other
legal proceedings and environmental matters. We believe that the resolution of such proceedings and matters, in total, will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



|Item 5. | Other Information.
|------- | ------------------



The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires disclosure of any non-audit services performed by a companys auditor. As previously disclosed in our 2004
Proxy Statement, our independent public accountants provide non-audit, tax-related services.
