PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company

          FirstEnergy Corp. (Company) was organized under the
laws of the State of Ohio in 1996 and became a holding company on
November 8, 1997 in connection with the merger of Ohio Edison
Company (OE) and Centerior Energy Corporation (Centerior). The
Company's principal business is the holding, directly or
indirectly, of all of the outstanding common stock of its four
principal electric utility operating subsidiaries, OE, The
Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI), Pennsylvania Power
Company (Penn) and The Toledo Edison Company (TE). These utility
subsidiaries are referred to throughout as "Companies." Nearly
all of the Company's consolidated operating revenues are derived
from electric service provided by its utility operating
subsidiaries. In addition, the Company holds all of the
outstanding common stock of its other seven direct subsidiaries,
FirstEnergy Services Corp. (whose subsidiaries include Roth
Bros., Inc., a major provider of energy equipment, management and
control systems), Centerior Service Company (CSC), Centerior
Properties Company, Centerior Enterprises Corporation,
FirstEnergy Trading and Power Marketing, Inc., FirstEnergy
Telecom Corp., and FirstEnergy Securities Transfer Company.

          The Companies' combined service areas encompass
approximately 13,200 square miles in central and northern Ohio
and western Pennsylvania. The areas they serve have combined
populations of approximately 5,577,000.

          OE was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in
1930 and owns property and does business as an electric public
utility in that state. OE also has ownership interests in certain
generating facilities located in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. OE furnishes electric service to communities in a
7,500 square mile area of central and northeastern Ohio. It also
provides transmission services and electric energy for resale to
certain municipalities in OE's service area and transmission
services to certain rural cooperatives. OE also engages in the
sale, purchase and interchange of electric energy with other
electric companies. The area it serves has a population of
approximately 2,542,000.

          OE owns all of the outstanding common stock of Penn, a
Pennsylvania corporation, which furnishes electric service to
communities in a 1,500 square mile area of western Pennsylvania.
Penn also provides transmission services and electric energy for
resale to certain municipalities in Pennsylvania. The area served
by Penn has a population of approximately 343,000.

          CEI was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio
in 1892 and does business as an electric public utility in that
state. It also has ownership interests in certain generating
facilities in Pennsylvania. CEI furnishes electric service in an
area of approximately 1,700 square miles in northeastern Ohio,
including the City of Cleveland. The area CEI serves has a
population of approximately 2,007,000.

          TE was organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in
1901 and does business as an electric public utility in that
state. It also has ownership interests in certain generating
facilities in Pennsylvania. TE furnishes electric service in an
area of approximately 2,500 square miles in northwestern Ohio,
including the City of Toledo. The area TE serves has a population
of approximately 685,000.

Utility Regulation

          The Companies are subject to broad regulation as to
rates and other matters by the Public Utilities Commission of
Ohio (PUCO) and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission
(PPUC). With respect to their wholesale and interstate electric
operations and rates, the Companies are subject to regulation,
including regulation of their accounting policies and practices,
by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Under Ohio
law, municipalities may regulate rates, subject to appeal to the
PUCO if not acceptable to the utility.

          In 1986, a law was passed which extended the
jurisdiction of the PUCO to nonutility affiliates of holding
companies exempt under Section 3(a)(1) and 3(a)(2) of the Public
Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (1935 Act) to the extent that
the activities of such affiliates affect or relate to the cost of
providing electric utility service in Ohio. The law, among other
things, requires PUCO approval of investments in, or the transfer
of assets to, nonutility affiliates. Investments in such
affiliates are limited to 15% of the aggregate capitalization of
the holding company on a consolidated basis. The Company is an
exempt holding company under Section 3(a)(1) of the 1935 Act, but
the law has not had any effect on its operations as they are
currently conducted.

          The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (1992 Act) amended
portions of the 1935 Act, providing independent power producers
and other nonregulated generating facilities easier entry into
electric generation markets. The 1992 Act also amended portions
of the Federal Power Act, authorizing the FERC, under certain
circumstances, to mandate access to utility-owned transmission
facilities. Following the enactment of the 1992 Act, the FERC has
ordered all utilities to file open access tariffs applicable to
transmission facilities, including provisions which require
utilities to offer comparable services on a nondiscriminatory
basis. The FirstEnergy system has such an open access tariff
currently in effect (see "FERC Rate Matters").

    PUCO Rate Matters

          OE's Rate Reduction and Economic Development Plan was
approved by the PUCO in 1995 and a Rate Reduction and Economic
Development Plan for CEI and TE was approved in January 1997.
These plans are designed to enhance and accelerate economic
development within the Companies' Ohio service areas and to
assure the Companies' customers in those service areas of long-
term competitive pricing for energy services.

          These plans initially maintain current base electric
rates for OE, CEI and TE through December 31, 2005, unless
additional revenues are needed to recover the costs of changes in
environmental, regulatory or tax laws or regulations. At the end
of the plan periods, OE base rates will be reduced by $300
million (approximately 20 percent below current levels) and CEI
and TE base rates will be reduced by a combined $310 million
(approximately 15 percent below current levels). As part of these
plans, transition rate credits were implemented for customers,
which are expected to reduce operating revenues for OE by
approximately $600 million and CEI and TE by approximately $391
million during the plan period. The plans also established
revised fuel recovery rate formulas which eliminated the
automatic pass-through of fuel costs to their retail customers
(see "Fuel Recovery Procedures").

          All of OE's regulatory assets and CEI's and TE's
regulatory assets related to their nonnuclear operations are
being recovered under provisions of these plans. In addition, the
PUCO has authorized OE to recognize additional capital recovery
related to its generating assets (which is reflected as
additional depreciation expense) and additional amortization of
regulatory assets during the plan period of at least $2 billion
more than the amount that would have been recognized if OE's plan
were not in effect. These additional amounts are being recovered
through current rates. CEI and TE recognized fair value purchase
accounting adjustments to reduce nuclear plant by $1.71 billion
and $.84 billion, respectively, in connection with the
FirstEnergy merger; these fair value adjustments recognized for
financial reporting purposes will ultimately satisfy the asset
reduction commitments of at least $1.4 billion for CEI and $0.6
billion for TE contained in the CEI and TE plan. For regulatory
purposes, CEI and TE will recognize accelerated amortization over
the plan period.

          Based on the Ohio plans, at this time, OE, CEI and TE
believe they will continue to be able to bill and collect cost-
based rates (with the exception of CEI's and TE's nuclear
operations); accordingly, it is appropriate that they continue
the application of SFAS No. 71 "Accounting for the Effects of
Certain Types of Regulation" (SFAS 71). However, as discussed
under "Competition" below, changes in the regulatory environment
are on the horizon in Ohio. The Companies do not expect any
changes in Ohio regulation to be effective within the next two
years and cannot assess what the ultimate impact may be. CEI's
and TE's plan does not provide for full recovery of their nuclear
operations. As a result, in October 1997 CEI and TE discontinued
application of SFAS 71 for their nuclear operations and decreased
their regulatory assets of customer receivables for future income
taxes related to the nuclear assets by $499 million and $295
million, respectively, in addition to the fair value adjustments
referred to above.

    PPUC Rate Matters

          Penn's Rate Stability and Economic Development Plan was
approved by the PPUC in the second quarter of 1996. This plan
initially maintains current base electric rates for Penn through
June 20, 2006 and revised its fuel recovery method (see "Fuel
Recovery Procedures"). All of Penn's regulatory assets are being
recovered under provisions of the plan. In addition, the PPUC has
authorized Penn to recognize additional capital recovery related
to its generating assets (which is reflected as additional
depreciation expense) and additional amortization of regulatory
assets during the plan period of at least $358 million more than
the amounts that would have been recognized if the plan were not
in effect. These additional amounts are being recovered through
current rates.

          In December 1996, Pennsylvania enacted "The Electricity
Generation Customer Choice and Competition Act," which permitted
customers, including Penn's customers, to choose their electric
generation supplier, while transmission and distribution services
will continue to be supplied by their current providers. In
accordance with this law, on September 30, 1997, Penn filed a
restructuring plan with the PPUC. The plan describes how Penn
will restructure its rates and provide customers with direct
access to alternative electricity suppliers; customer choice is
to be phased in over three years beginning in 1999, after
completion of a two-year pilot program. Penn will continue to
deliver power to homes and businesses through its transmission
and distribution system, which remains regulated by the PPUC.
Penn also plans to sell electricity and energy-related services
in its own territory and throughout Pennsylvania as an
alternative supplier through its nonregulated subsidiary, Penn
Power Energy, Inc. Through the restructuring plan, Penn is
seeking recovery of $293 million of stranded costs through a
competitive transition charge starting in 1999 and ending in
2005, which is consistent with Penn's regulatory plan. The PPUC
plans to hold public hearings on Penn's restructuring plan early
in 1998. Based on the changing regulatory environment in
Pennsylvania, Penn is expected to discontinue its application of
SFAS 71 for its generation operations, possibly as early as 1998.
The impact of Penn discontinuing SFAS 71 is not expected to be
material. However, Penn believes that this legislation will
continue to provide for cost recovery in a manner which meets the
criteria for application of SFAS 71 for all non-generation
operations as described above.

    FERC Rate Matters

          Rates for wholesale customers are regulated by the
FERC. The FirstEnergy merger was approved by the FERC on October
29, 1997, and the Companies have operated as a single utility
system since December 1997. An open access transmission tariff
and joint dispatch agreement for the FirstEnergy system are
currently in effect, subject to refund, pending the outcome of
hearings before the FERC. A decision is expected on this
proceeding in late 1998.

    Fuel Recovery Procedures

          In accordance with their respective plans, OE's, CEI's
and TE's fuel recovery rates have been frozen, subject only to
limited periodic adjustments. The respective rates are adjusted
annually based on changes in the GDP Implicit Price Deflator,
unless significant changes in environmental, regulatory or tax
laws or regulations increase or decrease the cost of fuel. Such
changes in laws, regulations and/or taxes would require PUCO
approval in order to be reflected as an adjustment to the
Electric Fuel Component (EFC) rate.

          Furthermore, for the period through June 30, 2000, the
OE EFC rate will be limited to the average fuel cost rate of
certain utilities within the state. Commencing July 1, 2000, the
OE EFC rate will be limited to 97% of the average fuel cost rate
of these companies. The average fuel cost rate for these
utilities may be adjusted by the PUCO to reflect any significant
changes in the Phase II environmental compliance plans of such
companies involving capital additions or equipment utilization.

          After January 1, 2000, the respective EFC rates in
effect for CEI and TE will be reduced to reflect the elimination
of annual fixed charges related to a Bruce Mansfield Plant coal
supply contract (see "Fuel Supply"), which amounts to $13.96
million for CEI and $8.74 million for TE. The resulting reduced
EFC rates would be used as the basis for the annual GDP
adjustment, but, in no event, would either company's annual EFC
rate exceed 1.465 cents per kWh during the plan period.

          Under its plan, Penn eliminated its energy cost rate
for the recovery of fuel and net purchased power costs as a
separate component of customer charges. Energy costs were rolled
into Penn's base electric rates at their projected 1996-1997
level.

Capital Requirements

          The Companies' respective total 1997 construction
costs, excluding nuclear fuel, are shown on the following table.
Such costs included expenditures for the betterment of existing
facilities and for the construction of transmission lines,
distribution lines, substations and other additions. For the
years 1998 -2002, such construction costs related to their
regulated businesses are also shown on the following table. The
Company also expects to invest approximately $300 million during
1998-2002 ($65 million in 1998) relating to various nonregulated
business ventures. See "Environmental Matters" below with regard
to possible environment-related expenditures not included in this
estimate.

          OE's and Penn's nuclear fuel purchases are financed
through OES Fuel (a wholly owned subsidiary of OE) commercial
paper and loans, both of which are supported by a $225 million
long-term bank credit agreement. CEI and TE severally lease their
respective portions of nuclear fuel and pay for the fuel as it is
consumed. The Companies' respective investments for additional
nuclear fuel, and nuclear fuel investment reductions as the fuel
is consumed, during the 1998 -2002 period are represented in the
following table. The table also shows the Companies' net
operating lease commitments for the 1998-2002 period. The
Companies recover the cost of nuclear fuel consumed and operating
leases through their electric rates.

</TABLE>


          Short-term borrowings outstanding at December 31, 1997,
consisted of $182.2 million of OE's bank borrowings and $120.0
million of OES Capital, Incorporated commercial paper. OES
Capital is a wholly owned subsidiary of OE whose borrowings are
secured by customer accounts receivable. OES Capital can borrow
up to $120 million under a receivables financing agreement at
rates based on certain bank commercial paper. The Company and its
utility operating subsidiaries also had $162 million (Company-
$125 million, OE-$35 million and Penn-$2 million) available under
revolving lines of credit as of December 31, 1997. The Company
plans to transfer any of its borrowings under its $125 million
line of credit to CEI and/or TE. In addition, $26 million (OE-$14
million and Penn-$12 million) was available through bank
facilities that provide for borrowings on a short-term basis at
the banks' discretion.

          Based on their present plans, the Companies could
provide for their cash requirements in 1998 from the following
sources: funds to be received from operations; available cash and
temporary cash investments (approximate amounts as of December
31, 1997: Company's nonutility subsidiaries-$37 million, OE-$4
million, Penn-$1 million, CEI-$34 million and TE-$22 million);
the issuance of long-term debt (for refunding purposes) and funds
available under revolving credit arrangements.

          The extent and type of future financings will depend on
the need for external funds as well as market conditions, the
maintenance of an appropriate capital structure and the ability
of the Companies to comply with coverage requirements in order to
issue first mortgage bonds and preferred stock. The Companies
will continue to monitor financial market conditions and, where
appropriate, may take advantage of economic opportunities to
refund debt and preferred stock to the extent that their
financial resources permit.

          The coverage requirements contained in the first
mortgage indentures under which the Companies issue first
mortgage bonds provide that, except for certain refunding
purposes, the Companies may not issue first mortgage bonds unless
applicable net earnings (before income taxes), calculated as
provided in the indentures, for any period of twelve consecutive
months within the fifteen calendar months preceding the month in
which such additional bonds are issued, are at least twice annual
interest requirements on outstanding first mortgage bonds,
including those being issued. Under OE's first mortgage
indenture, the availability of property additions is more
restrictive than the earnings test at the present time and would
limit the amount of first mortgage bonds issuable against
property additions to $350 million. OE is currently able to issue
$1.05 billion principal amount of first mortgage bonds against
previously retired bonds without the need to meet the above
restrictions. Under Penn's first mortgage indenture, other
requirements also apply and are more restrictive than the
earnings test at the present time. Penn is currently able to
issue $248 million principal amount of first mortgage bonds, with
up to $111 million of such amount issuable against property
additions; the remainder could be issued against previously
retired bonds. Purchase accounting revaluation applied to CEI's
and TE's net assets under the merger reduced CEI's and TE's
available bondable property so that first mortgage bonds cannot
currently be issued against property additions.

          OE's , Penn's and TE's respective articles of
incorporation prohibit the sale of preferred stock unless
applicable gross income, calculated as provided in the articles
of incorporation, is equal to at least 1-1/2 times the aggregate
of the annual interest requirements on indebtedness and annual
dividend requirements on preferred stock outstanding immediately
thereafter. Based upon earnings for 1997 and at an assumed
dividend rate of 8.5%, OE and Penn would be permitted, under the
earnings coverage test contained in their respective charters, to
issue at least $1.3 billion and $107 million of preferred stock,
respectively. Based on its 1997 earnings, TE could not issue
additional preferred stock. There are no restrictions on CEI's
ability to issue preferred stock.

          To the extent that coverage requirements or market
conditions restrict the Companies' abilities to issue desired
amounts of first mortgage bonds or preferred stock, the Companies
may seek other methods of financing. Such financings could
include the sale of preferred or and preference stock or of such
other types of securities as might be authorized by applicable
regulatory authorities which would not otherwise be sold and
could result in annual interest charges and/or dividend
requirements in excess of those that would otherwise be incurred.

Central Area Power Coordination Group (CAPCO)

          In September 1967, the CAPCO companies, which consists
of the Companies and Duquesne Light Company (Duquesne), announced
a program for joint development of power generation and
transmission facilities. Included in the program are Unit 7 at
the W. H. Sammis Plant, Unit 5 at the Eastlake Plant, Units 1, 2
and 3 at the Bruce Mansfield Plant, Units 1 and 2 at the Beaver
Valley Power Station, the Perry Nuclear Power Plant and the
Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, each now in service.

          The present CAPCO Basic Operating Agreement provides,
among other things, for coordinated maintenance responsibilities
among the CAPCO companies, a limited and qualified mutual backup
arrangement in the event of outage of CAPCO units and certain
capacity and energy transactions among the CAPCO companies.

          The agreements among the CAPCO companies generally
treat OE and Penn as a single system as between them and the
other three CAPCO companies, but, in agreements between the CAPCO
companies and others, all five companies are treated as separate
entities. Subject to any rights that might arise among the CAPCO
companies as such, each member company, severally and not
jointly, is obligated to pay only its proportionate share of the
costs associated with the facilities and the cost of required
fuel. The CAPCO companies have agreed that any modification of
their arrangements or of their agreed-upon programs requires
their unanimous consent. Should any member become unable to
continue to pay its share of the costs associated with a CAPCO
facility, each of the other CAPCO companies could be adversely
affected in varying degrees because it may become necessary for
the remaining members to assume such costs for the account of the
defaulting member.

          Under the agreements governing the construction and
operation of CAPCO generating units, the responsibility is
assigned to a specific CAPCO company. CEI has such
responsibilities for Perry and Eastlake Unit 5, Duquesne is
responsible for Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2, TE is responsible
for Davis-Besse, OE for Sammis Unit 7 and Penn for Bruce
Mansfield Units 1, 2 and 3. The Companies monitor activities in
connection with Beaver Valley Units 1 and 2 but must rely to a
significant degree on Duquesne for necessary information. The
Companies in their oversight role as a practical matter cannot be
privy to every detail; it is Duquesne that must directly
supervise activities and then exercise its reporting
responsibilities to the co-owners. The Companies critically
review the information given to it by Duquesne, but they cannot
be absolutely certain that things they would have considered
significant have been reported or that they always would have
reached exactly the same conclusion about matters that are
reported. In addition, the time that is necessarily part of the
compiling and analyzing process creates a lag between the
occurrence of events and the time the Companies becomes aware of
their significance.

Nuclear Regulation

          The construction and operation of nuclear generating
units are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) including the issuance by it of
construction permits and operating licenses. The NRC's procedures
with respect to application for construction permits and
operating licenses afford opportunities for interested parties to
request public hearings on health, safety, environmental and
antitrust issues. In this connection, the NRC may require
substantial changes in operation or the installation of
additional equipment to meet safety or environmental standards
with resulting delay and added costs. The possibility also exists
for modification, denial or revocation of licenses or permits.
Davis-Besse was placed in commercial operation in 1977, and its
operating license expires in 2017. Beaver Valley Unit 1 was
placed in commercial operation in 1976, and its opening license
expires in 2016. Perry Unit 1 and Beaver Valley Unit 2 were
placed in commercial operation in 1987, and their operating
licenses expire in 2026 and 2027, respectively.

          The NRC has promulgated and continues to promulgate
regulations related to the safe operation of nuclear power
plants. The Companies cannot predict what additional regulations
will be promulgated or design changes required or the effect that
any such regulations or design changes, or the consideration
thereof, may have upon Beaver Valley, Davis-Besse and Perry.
Although the Companies have no reason to anticipate an accident
at any nuclear plant in which they have an interest, if such an
accident did happen, it could have a material but currently
undeterminable adverse effect on the Company's consolidated
financial position. In addition, such an accident at any
operating nuclear plant, whether or not owned by the Companies,
could result in regulations or requirements that could affect the
operation or licensing of plants that the Companies do own with a
consequent but currently undeterminable adverse impact, and could
affect the Companies' abilities to raise funds in the capital
markets.

Nuclear Insurance

          The Price-Anderson Act limits the public liability
which can be assessed with respect to a nuclear power plant to
$8.92 billion (assuming 110 units licensed to operate) for a
single nuclear incident, which amount is covered by: (i) private
insurance amounting to $200 million; and (ii) $8.72 billion
provided by an industry retrospective rating plan required by the
NRC pursuant thereto. Under such retrospective rating plan, in
the event of a nuclear incident at any unit in the United States
resulting in losses in excess of private insurance, up to $75.5
million (but not more than $10 million per unit per year in the
event of more than one incident) must be contributed for each
nuclear unit licensed to operate in the country by the licensees
thereof to cover liabilities arising out of the incident. Based
on their present ownership and leasehold interests in Beaver
Valley, Perry and Davis-Besse, the Companies' maximum potential
assessment under these provisions (assuming the other co-owner
were to contribute its proportionate share of any assessments
under the retrospective rating plan) would be $257.7 million (OE-
$84.8 million, Penn-$18.0 million, CEI-$84.8 million and TE-$70.1
million) per incident but not more than $32.5 million (OE-$10.7
million, Penn-$2.3 million, CEI-$10.7 million and TE-$8.8
million) in any one year for each incident.

          In addition to the public liability insurance provided
pursuant to the Price-Anderson Act, the Companies have also
obtained insurance coverage in limited amounts for economic loss
and property damage arising out of nuclear incidents. The
Companies are members of Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited
(NEIL) which provides coverage (NEIL I) for the extra expense of
replacement power incurred due to prolonged accidental outages of
nuclear units. Under NEIL I, the Companies have policies,
renewable yearly, corresponding to their respective interests in
Beaver Valley, Perry and Davis-Besse, which provide an aggregate
indemnity of up to approximately $809 million (OE-$180 million,
Penn-$53 million, CEI-$316 million and TE-$260 million) for
replacement power costs incurred during an outage after an
initial 21-week (17 weeks for Davis-Besse) waiting period.
Members of NEIL I pay annual premiums and are subject to
assessments if losses exceed the accumulated funds available to
the insurer. The Companies' present maximum aggregate assessment
for incidents at any covered nuclear facility occurring during a
policy year would be approximately $7.2 million (OE-$1.8 million,
Penn-$.5 million, CEI-$2.7 million and TE-$2.2 million).

          The Companies are insured as to their respective
interests in Beaver Valley, Perry and Davis-Besse under property
damage insurance provided by American Nuclear Insurers, Mutual
Atomic Energy Liability Underwriters and NEIL to the operating
company for each plant. Under these arrangements, $2.75 billion
of coverage for decontamination costs, decommissioning costs,
debris removal and repair and/or replacement of property is
provided for Beaver Valley, Perry and Davis-Besse. The Companies
pay annual premiums for this coverage and are liable for
retrospective assessments of up to approximately $29.4 million
(OE-$8.9 million, Penn-$1.8 million, CEI-$10.3 million and TE-
$8.4 million) during a policy year.

          The Companies intend to maintain insurance against
nuclear risks as described above as long as it is available. To
the extent that replacement power, property damage,
decontamination, decommissioning, repair and replacement costs
and other such costs arising from a nuclear incident at any of
the Companies' plants exceed the policy limits of the insurance
in effect with respect to that plant, to the extent a nuclear
incident is determined not to be covered by the Companies'
insurance policies, or to the extent such insurance becomes
unavailable in the future, the Companies would remain at risk for
such costs.

          The NRC requires nuclear power plant licensees to
obtain minimum property insurance coverage of $1.06 billion or
the amount generally available from private sources, whichever is
less. The proceeds of this insurance are required to be used
first to ensure that the licensed reactor is in a safe and stable
condition and can be maintained in that condition so as to
prevent any significant risk to the public health and safety.
Within 30 days of stabilization, the licensee is required to
prepare and submit to the NRC a cleanup plan for approval. The
plan is required to identify all cleanup operations necessary to
decontaminate the reactor sufficiently to permit the resumption
of operations or to commence decommissioning. Any property
insurance proceeds not already expended to place the reactor in a
safe and stable condition must be used first to complete those
decontamination operations that are ordered by the NRC. The
Companies are unable to predict what effect these requirements
may have on the availability of insurance proceeds to the
Companies for the Companies' bondholders.

Environmental Matters

          Various federal, state and local authorities regulate
the Companies with regard to air and water quality and other
environmental matters. The Companies have estimated capital
expenditures for environmental compliance of approximately $50
million, which is included in the construction estimate given
under "Capital Requirements" for 1998 through 2002.

    Air Regulation

          Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act of 1970, both
the State of Ohio and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania adopted
ambient air quality standards, and related emission limits,
including limits for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and particulates. In
addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
promulgated an SO2 regulatory plan for Ohio which became
effective for OE's, CEI's and TE's plants in 1977. Generating
plants to be constructed in the future and some future
modifications of existing facilities will be covered not only by
the applicable state standards but also by EPA emission
performance standards for new sources. In both Ohio and
Pennsylvania the construction or modification of emission sources
requires approval from appropriate environmental authorities, and
the facilities involved may not be operated unless a permit or
variance to do so has been issued by those same authorities.

          The Companies are in compliance with the current SO2
and nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduction requirements under the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990. SO2 reductions through the year 1999
will be achieved by burning lower-sulfur fuel, generating more
electricity from lower-emitting plants, and/or purchasing
emission allowances. Plans for complying with reductions required
for the year 2000 and thereafter have not been finalized. EPA is
conducting additional studies which could indicate the need for
additional NOx reductions from the Companies' Pennsylvania
facilities by the year 2003. In addition, the EPA is also
considering the need for additional NOx  reductions from the
Companies' Ohio facilities. On November 7, 1997, the EPA proposed
uniform reductions of NOx emissions across a region of twenty-two
states, including Ohio and the District of Columbia (NOx
Transport Rule) after determining that such NOx emissions are
contributing significantly to ozone pollution in the eastern
United States. In a separate but related action, eight states
filed petitions with the EPA under Section 126 of the Clean Air
Act seeking reductions of NOx emissions which are alleged to
contribute to ozone pollution in the eight petitioning states. A
December 1997 EPA Memorandum of Agreement proposes to finalize
the NOx Transport Rule by September 30, 1998, and establishes a
schedule for EPA action on the Section 126 petitions. The cost of
such reductions, if required, may be substantial. The Companies
continue to evaluate their compliance plans and other compliance
options.

          The Companies are required to meet federally approved
SO2 regulations. Violations of such regulations can result in
shutdown of the generating unit involved and/or civil or criminal
penalties of up to $25,000 for each day the unit is in violation.
The EPA has an interim enforcement policy for SO2 regulations in
Ohio that allows for compliance based on a 30-day averaging
period. The Companies cannot predict what action the EPA may take
in the future with respect to proposed regulations or the interim
enforcement policy.

          In July 1997, EPA promulgated changes in the National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)for ozone and proposed a new
NAAQS for previously unregulated ultra-fine particulate matter.
The cost of compliance with these regulations may be substantial
and depends on the manner in which they are implemented by the
states in which the Companies operate affected facilities.

    Water Regulation

          Various water quality regulations, the majority of
which are the result of the federal Clean Water Act and its
amendments, apply to the Companies' plants. In addition, Ohio and
Pennsylvania have water quality standards applicable to the
Companies' operations. As provided in the Clean Water Act,
authority to grant federal National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) water discharge permits can be assumed
by a state. Ohio and Pennsylvania have assumed such authority.

    Waste Disposal

          As a result of the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1976, as amended, and the Toxic Substances Control Act of
1976, federal and state hazardous waste regulations have been
promulgated. Certain fossil-fuel combustion waste products, such
as coal ash, were exempted from hazardous waste disposal
requirements pending EPA's evaluation of the need for future
regulation. EPA has issued its final regulatory determination
that regulation of coal ash as a hazardous waste is unnecessary.

          OE,CEI and TE have been named as "potentially
responsible parties" (PRPs) at waste disposal sites which may
require cleanup under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980. Allegations that the
Companies disposed of hazardous substances at historical sites
and the liability involved, are often unsubstantiated and subject
to dispute. Federal law provides that all PRPs for a particular
site be held liable on a joint and several basis. CEI and TE have
accrued a liability totaling $5.9 million at December 31, 1997
based on estimates of the costs of cleanup and the proportionate
responsibility of other PRPs for such costs. OE, CEI and TE
believe that waste disposal costs will not have a material
adverse effect on their financial condition, cash flows or
results of operations.

          In 1980, Congress passed the Low-Level Radioactive
Waste Policy Act which provides that the disposal of low-level
radioactive waste is the responsibility of the state where such
waste is generated. The Act encourages states to form compacts
among themselves to develop regional disposal facilities. Failure
by a state or compact to begin implementation of a program could
result in access denial to the two facilities currently accepting
low-level radioactive waste. Ohio is part of the Midwest Compact
and has responsibility for siting and constructing a disposal
facility. On June 26, 1997, the Midwest Compact Commission
(Compact) voted to cease all siting activities in the host state
of Ohio and to dismantle the Ohio Low-Level Radioactive Waste
Facility Development Authority, the statutory agency charged with
siting and constructing the low-level radioactive waste disposal
facility. While the Compact remains intact, it has no plans to
site or construct a low-level radioactive waste disposal facility
in the Midwest. The Companies continue to ship low-level
radioactive waste from their nuclear facilities to the Barnwell,
South Carolina waste disposal facility.

    Summary

          Environmental controls are still in the process of
development and require, in many instances, balancing the needs
for additional quantities of energy in future years and the need
to protect the environment. As a result, the Companies cannot now
estimate the precise effect of existing and potential regulations
and legislation upon any of their existing and proposed
facilities and operations or upon their ability to issue
additional first mortgage bonds under their respective mortgages.
These mortgages contain covenants by the Companies to observe and
conform to all valid governmental requirements at the time
applicable unless in course of contest, and provisions which, in
effect, prevent the issuance of additional bonds if there is a
completed default under the mortgage. The provisions of each of
the mortgages, in effect, also require, in the opinion of counsel
for the respective Companies, that certification of property
additions as the basis for the issuance of bonds or other action
under the mortgages be accompanied by an opinion of counsel that
the company certifying such property additions has all
governmental permissions at the time necessary for its then
current ownership and operation of such property additions. The
Companies intend to contest any requirements they deem
unreasonable or impossible for compliance or otherwise contrary
to the public interest. Developments in these and other areas of
regulation may require the Companies to modify, supplement or
replace equipment and facilities, and may delay or impede the
construction and operation of new facilities, at costs which
could be substantial.

Fuel Supply

          The Companies' sources of generation during 1997 were:

                             Coal              Nuclear
                             ----              -------
               OE            76.5%              23.5%
               Penn          73.8%              26.2%
               CEI           63.0%              37.0%
               TE            43.0%              57.0%

          The Companies have long-term coal contracts providing
for annual tons of approximately: OE - 6,400,000; Penn -
1,248,000; CEI - 3,900,000; and TE-1,100,000. These contracts
include the Companies' portion of the coal purchase contract
relating to the Bruce Mansfield Plant discussed below. This
contract coal is produced primarily from mines located in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Wyoming and West Virginia; the contracts
expire at various times through December 31, 2003.

          The Companies estimate their 1998 coal requirements to
be approximately 18,646,000 tons (including their respective
shares of the coal requirements of CAPCO's Eastlake Unit 5,
Sammis Unit 7 and the Bruce Mansfield Plant). See "Environmental
Matters" for factors pertaining to meeting environmental
regulations affecting coal-fired generating units.

          The Companies have each severally guaranteed (OE's,
CEI's, TE's and Penn's composite percentages being approximately
46.8%, 17.6%, 10.3% and 6.7%, respectively) certain debt and
lease obligations in connection with a coal supply contract for
the Bruce Mansfield Plant (see "Commitments, Guarantees and
Contingencies" notes to the respective financial statements). As
of December 31, 1997, the Companies' shares of the guarantees
were $66.1 million. The price under the coal supply contract,
which includes certain minimum payments, has been determined to
be sufficient to satisfy the debt and lease obligations. This
contract expires December 31, 1999.

          The Companies' fuel costs (excluding disposal costs)
for each of the five years ended December 31, 1997, were as
follows:
                          1997   1996   1995   1994   1993
Cost of fuel consumed
   per million BTUs:
Coal:     OE             $1.31  $1.33  $1.37  $1.36  $1.37
          Penn            1.27   1.31   1.30   1.34   1.37
          CEI             1.41   1.50   1.56   1.50   1.40
          TE              1.54   1.79   1.86   1.76   1.82
Nuclear:  OE             $ .58  $ .66  $ .79  $ .94  $1.04
          Penn             .61    .64    .77    .88    .97
          CEI              .76    .84    .98    .98   1.02
          TE               .66    .74    .91    .92    .95
Average fuel cost per
   kilowatt-hour
   generated (cents):
          OE              1.17   1.20   1.27   1.31   1.36
          Penn            1.17   1.15   1.20   1.29   1.36
          CEI             1.23   1.35   1.42   1.35   1.37
          TE              1.06   1.26   1.32   1.35   1.42

          OES Fuel is the sole lessor for OE's and Penn's nuclear
fuel requirements (see "Capital Requirements" and Note 4G of
Notes to OE's Consolidated Financial Statements). Nuclear fuel is
currently financed for CEI and TE through leases with a special-
purpose corporation.

          OE, Penn and OES Fuel have contracts for the supply of
uranium sufficient to meet projected needs through 2000 and
conversion services sufficient to meet projected needs through
2001. Fabrication services for fuel assemblies have been
contracted by the CAPCO companies for the next four reloads for
Beaver Valley Unit 1, three reloads for Beaver Valley Unit 2
(through approximately 2003 and 2002, respectively), the next two
reloads for Perry (through approximately 2001), and the next four
reloads for Davis-Besse (through approximately 2004). The
Companies have a contract with U.S. Enrichment Corporation for
the majority of their enrichment requirements for nuclear fuel
through 2014.

          Prior to the expiration of existing commitments, the
Companies intend to make additional arrangements for the supply
of uranium and for the subsequent conversion, enrichment,
fabrication, reprocessing and/or waste disposal services, the
specific prices and availability of which are not known at this
time. Due to the present lack of availability of domestic
reprocessing services, to the continuing absence of any program
to begin development of such reprocessing capability and
questions as to the economics of reprocessing, the Companies are
calculating nuclear fuel costs based on the assumption that spent
fuel will not be reprocessed. On-site spent fuel storage
facilities for Perry and Davis-Besse, are expected to be adequate
through 2010 and 2017, respectively; facilities at Beaver Valley
Units 1 and 2 are expected to be adequate through 2011 and 2005,
respectively. After on-site storage capacity is exhausted,
additional storage capacity will have to be obtained which could
result in significant additional costs unless reprocessing
services or permanent waste disposal facilities become available.
The Federal Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 provides for the
construction of facilities for the disposal of high-level nuclear
wastes, including spent fuel from nuclear power plants operated
by electric utilities; however, the selection of a suitable site
has become embroiled in the political process. Duquesne, CEI and
TE have each previously entered into contracts with the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) for the disposal of spent fuel from
Beaver Valley, Perry, and Davis-Besse, respectively. On December
17, 1996, the DOE notified the Companies that it would be unable
to begin acceptance of spent fuel for disposal by January 31,
1998 as mandated by Section 302(a)(5)(B) of the Nuclear Waste
Policy Act (NPA). As a result, the Companies along with over 40
other nuclear utilities and more than 50 state agencies have
asked for federal court approval to stop payments into the
Nuclear Waste Fund and for an order requiring DOE to take
immediate action to accept delivery of spent nuclear fuel.

System Capacity and Reserves

          The respective 1997 net maximum hourly demand on each
of the Companies was OE-5,389,000 kilowatts (kW) (including
387,000 kW of firm power sales which extend through 2005 as
discussed under "Competition") on June 25, 1997; Penn-836,000 kW
(including 63,000 kW of firm power sales) on June 25, 1997; CEI-
3,955,000 kW on June 25, 1997; and TE-1,813,000 kW on July 14
1997.

          Based on existing capacity plans, the load forecast
made in December 1997 and anticipated term power sales to other
utilities, the capacity margins during the 1998-2002 period are
expected to range from about 8% to 10% for the FirstEnergy
system.

Regional Reliability

          The Companies participate with 24 other electric
companies operating in nine states in the East Central Area
Reliability Coordination Agreement (ECAR), which was organized
for the purpose of furthering the reliability of bulk power
supply in the area through coordination of the planning and
operation by the ECAR members of their bulk power supply
facilities. The ECAR members have established principles and
procedures regarding matters affecting the reliability of the
bulk power supply within the ECAR region. Procedures have been
adopted regarding: i) the evaluation and simulated testing of
systems' performance; ii) the establishment of minimum levels of
daily operating reserves; iii) the development of a program
regarding emergency procedures during conditions of declining
system frequency; and iv) the basis for uniform rating of
generating equipment.

Competition

          The Companies compete with other utilities for
intersystem bulk power sales and for sales to municipalities and
cooperatives. The Companies compete with suppliers of natural gas
and other forms of energy in connection with their industrial and
commercial sales and in the home climate control market, both
with respect to new customers and conversions, and with all other
suppliers of electricity. To date, there has been no substantial
cogeneration by the Companies' customers.

          Technological advances and regulatory changes are
driving forces toward increasing competition in the energy
market. The Pennsylvania pilot program, which allows residents to
choose their electric generation supplier (see "Utility
Regulation--PPUC Rate Matters") is one such regulatory change. In
addition, many large electricity users continue to push for some
form of retail wheeling, which would enable retail customers to
purchase electricity from producers other than the local utility.
In February 1996, the PUCO approved a change allowing large
industrial customers that have interruptible service contracts to
buy their power from other sources when they have been advised by
their local utility that service will be interrupted. On January
6, 1998, the co-chairs of the Ohio General Assembly's Joint
Select Committee on Electric Industry Deregulation released their
draft report of a plan which proposes to give customers a choice
from whom they buy electricity beginning January 1, 2000. No
consensus has been reached by the full Committee; in the
meantime, legislation consistent with the co-chairs' draft report
may be introduced into the General Assembly by one or both of the
co-chairs.

          In an effort to more fully utilize their facilities and
hold down rates to their other customers, OE and Penn have
entered into a long-term power sales agreement with another
utility. Currently, OE and Penn are selling 450,000 kW annually
under this contract through December 31, 2005. OE and Penn have
the option to reduce this commitment by 150,000 kW, with three
years' advance notice.

Research and Development

          The Companies participate in funding the Electric Power
Research Institute (EPRI), which was formed for the purpose of
expanding electric research and development under the voluntary
sponsorship of the nation's electric utility industry -- public,
private and cooperative. Its goal is to mutually benefit
utilities and their customers by promoting the development of new
and improved technologies to help the utility industry meet
present and future electric energy needs in environmentally and
economically acceptable ways. EPRI conducts research on all
aspects of electric power production and use, including fuels,
generating, delivery, energy management and conservation,
environmental effects and energy analysis. The major portion of
EPRI research and development projects is directed toward
practical solutions and their applications to problems currently
facing the electric utility industry. In 1997, approximately 69%
of the Companies' research and development expenditures were
related to EPRI.

Executive Officers

          The executive officers are elected at the annual
organization meeting of the Board of Directors, held immediately
after the annual meeting of stockholders, and hold office until
the next such organization meeting, unless the Board of Directors
shall otherwise determine, or unless a resignation is submitted.

          Prolonged outages of existing generating units might
make it necessary for the Companies, depending upon the demand
for electric service upon their system, to use to a greater
extent than otherwise, less efficient and less economic
generating units, or purchased power, and in some cases may
require the reduction of load during peak periods under the
Companies' interruptible programs, all to an extent not presently
determinable.

          The Companies' generating plants and load centers are
connected by a transmission system consisting of elements having
various voltage ratings ranging from 23 kilovolts (kV) to 345 kV.
The Companies' overhead and underground transmission lines
aggregate 7,505 miles.

          The Companies' electric distribution systems include
55,141 miles of overhead pole line and underground conduit
carrying primary, secondary and street lighting circuits. They
own, individually or together with one or more of the other CAPCO
companies as tenants in common, substations with a total
installed transformer capacity of 49,286, 125 kilovolt-amperes.

          The Companies' transmission lines also interconnect
with those of AEP, The Dayton Power and Light Company, Duquesne,
Monongahela Power Company, West Penn Power Company, Detroit
Edison Company and Pennsylvania Electric Company. These
interconnections make possible utilization by the Companies of
generating capacity constructed as a part of the CAPCO program,
as well as providing opportunities for the sale of power to other
utilities.

(1)  The compensation of Messrs. Burg, Alexander, Carey and Gill, who are also officers of the Company,
     are incorporated herein by reference to the Company's 1998 Proxy Statement filed with the SEC
     pursuant to Regulation 14A.

(2)  Mr. Lange was Vice President of CEI and President of TE until consummation of the merger in 1997.
     His compensation for services rendered in 1997 as Senior Vice President of Centerior Energy
     Corporation was comprised of his base salary of $222,946, an incentive award of $18,000 pursuant to
     Centerior's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, and payment of $8,665 for long-term Deferred
     Incentive Units issued in 1992. The "All-Other Compensation" amount of $5,241 represents the
     portion of premiums for life, accident, personal liability, and supplemental retirement insurance
     benefits paid by Centerior to Mr. Lange to the extent those benefits exceeded that which was
     uniformly available to salaried employees under Centerior's benefit plans. Mr.  Lange also
     exercised stock options with respect to 26,250 shares of common stock in 1997, realizing $124,359.
     At December 31, 1997, there were 43,450 shares of underlying unexercised options with a value of
     $97,136 all of which are exercisable.

(3)  Mr. Farling was Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of CEI and TE in the 1997
     pre-merger period. His compensation is incorporated herein by reference to the Company's 1998 Proxy
     Statement filed with the SEC pursuant to Regulation 14A..

(4)  Mr. Edelman was President of CEI and Vice Chairman of the Board of TE until consummation of merger
     in 1997.

     His compensation for services rendered in 1997 as Executive Vice President of Centerior Energy
     Corporation was comprised of his base salary of $265,044, an incentive award of $221,204 pursuant
     to Centerior's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan, and payment of $15,754 for long-term Deferred
     Incentive Units issued in 1992. The "All-Other Compensation" amount of $5,871 represents the
     portion of premiums for life, accident, personal liability, and supplemental retirement insurance
     benefits paid by Centerior to Mr. Edelman to the extent those benefits exceeded that which was
     uniformly available to salaried employees under Centerior's benefit plans.

     Following his termination of employment on January 31, 1998, payments were made to Mr. Edelman
     consistent with the terms of a special severance agreement applying to certain Centerior
     executives. These included a severance benefit of $1,237,842, a payment of $23,180 for benefit
     continuation, and a makeup pension benefit of $1,186,590 based on the assumption that he would have
     continued to work until age 62. In addition, a payment was made to reimburse him, on an after-tax
     basis, for the excise tax payments withheld from the above payments. Consistent with Mr. Edelman's
     experience in the electric utility industry, Mr. Edelman has agreed to act as a consultant to the
     Company for a twenty-four month period beginning February 1, 1998. His monthly fees for those
     services will be $10,000.

             CERTAIN SEVERANCE PAY AGREEMENTS

          Information related to severance pay agreements with
each of Messrs. Holland, Burg, Alexander and Gill are
incorporated herein by reference to the Company's 1998 Proxy
Statement. In 1996, Centerior entered into a severance pay
agreement with Mr. Lange providing for the payment of severance
benefits in the event that his employment was to terminate other
than for cause, death or disability as a result of a merger. This
agreement was extended to November 7, 1998. The severance
agreement provided that in the event of a termination of
employment (other than for cause, death or disability), he shall
be entitled to receive a payment equal to three times his base
salary. In addition, (i) certain benefit plans would be continued
for three years following termination, (ii) he would be entitled
to a payment reflecting the retirement benefit he would have been
entitled to had his employment continued for the three-year
period following termination of his employment, and (iii) certain
additional payments will be made to him if he is subject to an
excise tax.

</TABLE>


          Each executive's 1997 target long-term incentive
opportunity was converted into performance shares equal to an
equivalent number of shares of FirstEnergy's common stock based
on the average price of such stock during December 1996, and will
be held in a Common Stock Equivalent Account through 2000. The
Common Stock Equivalent Account was converted to FirstEnergy
common stock upon the consummation of the merger of OE and
Centerior Energy Corporation. At the end of this four-year
performance period, this Common Stock Equivalent Account will be
valued based on the average price of FirstEnergy's common stock
during December 2000 and as if any dividends that would have been
paid on such stock during the performance period had been
reinvested on the date paid. This value may be increased or
decreased based upon the total return of FirstEnergy's common
stock relative to the Edison Electric Institute's Index of
Investor-owned Electric Utility Companies (Index) during the
period. If an executive retires, dies or otherwise leaves the
employment of the Company prior to the end of the four-year
period, the value will be further proportionally decreased based
on the number of months worked during the period. However, an
executive must work at least twelve months during the four-year
period to be eligible for an award payout. The final value of an
executive's account, if any, will be paid to the executive in
cash early in the year 2001.

          The final value of an executive's account may range
from zero to 150% of the target amount. The maximum amount in the
above table is equal to 150% of the target 1997 long-term
incentive opportunity and will be earned if FirstEnergy's total
shareholder return is in the top 15% compared to the Index noted
above. An amount equal to 100% of the target 1997 long-term
incentive opportunity will be earned if FirstEnergy's total
shareholder return is in the 38th percentile compared to the
Index. The threshold amount is equal to 50% of the target 1997
long-term incentive opportunity and will be earned if
FirstEnergy's total shareholder return is in the 60th percentile
compared to the Index. Payouts for a total shareholder return
ranking between the 15th percentile and 60th percentile will be
interpolated. However, there will be no long-term award payouts
if FirstEnergy's total shareholder return compared to the Index
falls below the 60th percentile.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan

          Penn participates in the FirstEnergy System
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Mr. Holland is the only
executive officer listed above who is eligible to participate in
the Plan. At normal retirement, eligible senior executives of
Penn who have five or more years of service with the FirstEnergy
System are provided a retirement benefit equal to the greater of
65 percent of their highest annual salary from Penn, or 55
percent of the average of their highest three consecutive years
of salary plus annual incentive awards paid after January 1, 1996
and paid prior to retirement, reduced by the executive's pensions
under tax-qualified pension plans of Penn or other employers, any
supplementary pension under Penn's Executive Deferred
Compensation Plan, and social security benefits. Subject to
exceptions that might be made in specific cases, senior
executives retiring prior to age 65, or with less than five years
of service, or both, may receive a similar but reduced benefit.
This Plan also provides for disability and surviving spouse
benefits. As of the end of 1997, the estimated annual retirement
benefits at age 65 from all of the above sources was $76,963 for
Mr. Holland.

Pension Plan

          The Company's trusteed noncontributory Pension Plan
covers substantially all full-time employees including officers
of the Company. Pension benefits are determined using a formula
based on a Pension Plan participant's years of accrued service
and average rate of monthly earnings for the highest 60 months of
the last 120 months of accrued service immediately preceding
retirement or termination of service.

          Compensation covered by the Pension Plan consists of
basic cash wages and compensation deferred through the Savings
Plan up to the maximum amount permitted under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as adjusted in accordance with regulations.
This amount was $160,000 per year for 1997 and $160,000 per year
for 1998. In addition, a supplementary pension benefit may be
payable to participants in the Executive Deferred Compensation
Plan. Compensation for 1997 covered by these two plans for the
officers shown in the Executive Compensation Table who are not
currently participants in the FirstEnergy System Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan is shown under the Salary column of the
Table. The credited years of service for these same officers are
as follows: J. E. Reed -31 years;   and R. P. Wushinske -24
years.

          The following table shows the estimated annual amounts
payable upon retirement as pension benefits under the Pension
Plan and the supplemental pension benefit under the Executive
Deferred Compensation Plan, based on specified compensation and
years of credited service classifications, assuming continuation
of both such present Plans and employment until age 65.
Retirement prior to age 62 results in a reduction of pension
benefits. The amounts shown are subject to a reduction based on
an individual's covered compensation, date of birth and years of
credited service as defined by the Pension Plan and its optional
survivorship provision.

relating to the compensation of Mr. Holland.

Compensation of Directors

          Directors who are not employees of the Companies
receive an annual retainer of $4,200 and 100 shares of
FirstEnergy Common Stock for each full year of service. Such
directors are also paid a meeting fee of $375 for each board
meeting attended and are reimbursed for expenses for the
attendance thereof, if any. Directors who are also employees of
Penn or of OE or FirstEnergy receive no compensation for serving
as directors.
