TECO ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)



1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



The significant accounting policies for both utility and diversified
operations include:



Principles of Consolidation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TECO Energy,
Inc. and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, and the accounts of variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary (TECO Energy or the company). All significant inter-company balances and inter-company transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation. The equity method of accounting is used to account for the majority-owned and wholly-owned investments in the subsidiaries that hold interests in the San Jose and Alborada power stations in Guatemala and the funding
companies involved in the issuance of trust preferred securities since TECO Energy or affiliates are not the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities.



The use of estimates is inherent in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). Actual results could differ from these estimates.



Segment Reporting



During the first quarter of
2005, as part of its continued focus on core utility and profitable unregulated operations, the company revised internal reporting information used for decision making purposes. With this change, management began to view the results and performance
of TECO Guatemala, Inc. (TECO Guatemala) (formerly TWG Non-Merchant, Inc.), as a separate segment comprised of all Guatemalan operations. TECO Guatemala includes the equity investments in the San José and Alborada power plants, the equity
investment in the Guatemalan distribution company, EEGSA, and the TECO Guatemala parent company. Results for TECO Guatemala were previously reported in the Other Unregulated segment. Following the sales of the larger energy services businesses,
which were previously reported in the Other Unregulated segment, the remaining small operations of TECO Solutions are now reported within Other & Eliminations. Prior period segment results have been restated to reflect the
revised segment structure (seeNote 12).



Revenues and Fuel Costs



As of Sep. 30, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2004, unbilled revenues
of $50.2 million and $46.3 million, respectively, are included in the Receivables line item on the balance sheet.



Purchased Power



Tampa Electric purchases power on a regular basis to meet the needs of its customers. Tampa Electric purchased power from entities not affiliated with
TECO Energy at a cost of $104.6 million and $190.4 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, compared to $53.1 million and $135.2 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004.
Prudently incurred purchased power costs at Tampa Electric are recoverable through Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC)-approved cost recovery clauses.



Accounting for Franchise Fees and Gross Receipts



The regulated utilities (Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas System (PGS)) are allowed to recover from customers certain costs incurred through prices approved
by the FPSC. The amounts included in customers bills for franchise fees and gross receipts taxes are included as revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These amounts totaled $24.2 million and $65.5 million, respectively, for the
three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, compared to $22.4 million and $63.7 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004. Franchise fees and gross receipt taxes payable by the regulated utilities are
included as an expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income in Taxes, other than income. These totaled $24.3 million and $65.4 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, compared to $22.4 million
and $63.6 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004.

Stock-Based Compensation



TECO Energy has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 148 (FAS 148), Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, but applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. (APB) 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Stock options are granted with an option price greater than or equal to the fair value on the grant date, therefore, no compensation expense has been recognized for stock options granted under the
companys stock-based compensation plans. If the company had elected to recognize compensation expense for stock options based on the fair value at grant date, consistent with the method prescribed by FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 123),
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts as follows. These pro forma amounts were determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model with weighted average
assumptions as follows:

Reclassifications



Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation. Results for all prior periods have been reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations, as appropriate, for each of the entities as discussed in Note 15.



2. New Accounting Pronouncements



Stock-Based Compensation



The effective date of FASB Statement No.123 (revised 2004)(FAS
123R),Share-Based Payment, was deferred to Jan. 1, 2006 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The revision to FAS 123R will require financial statement cost recognition for certain share-based payment transactions that are made
after the effective date in return for goods and services. Additionally, the revision will require financial statement cost recognition for certain share-based payment transactions that have been made prior to the effective date but for which the
requisite service is provided after the effective date. The company plans to implement FAS 123R on Jan. 1, 2006 and continues to evaluate the impact of implementation.

Asset Retirement Obligations



FASB Interpretation No. 47 (FIN 47), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation, an
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, was issued in March 2005 and becomes effective for fiscal years ending after Dec. 15, 2005. FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as a legal obligation
to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity, and clarifies when an entity has sufficient information to reasonably
estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The company plans to implement FIN 47 during the fourth quarter of 2005 and continues to evaluate the impact of implementation.



Accounting Changes and Error Corrections



FASB Statement No. 154 (FAS 154), Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, was issued in May 2005 and becomes effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2005. FAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods financial statements
for changes in accounting principle, redefines the term restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error, requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting
principle be limited to the direct effects of the change, and requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate. This statement will be
implemented on Jan. 1, 2006 and is not expected to materially impact the company.



3. Regulatory



Cost Recovery  Tampa Electric



Tampa Electric recovers the cost of fuel, purchased
power, eligible environmental expenditures, and conservation through cost recovery clauses that are adjusted on an annual basis. As part of the regulatory process, it is reasonably likely that third parties may intervene in various matters related
to fuel, purchased power, environmental and conservation cost recovery. The company is unable to predict the timing, nature or impact of such future actions.



Tampa Electrics cost recovery clause regulatory asset has increased by $126.7 million since Dec. 31, 2004 primarily as a result of increased
commodity prices of fuel. Tampa Electric has made its annual fuel filing for increased cost recovery rates for fuel. These rates will become effective in January 2006. Based upon the increased rate called for in the fuel filing, this regulatory
asset balance will be reduced. However, the reduction of this regulatory asset balance is dependent upon actual commodity fuel prices compared with those anticipated in the annual fuel filing.



See Footnote 16 for a discussion of the fuel recovery clause related
to the companys fuel commodity hedging activity and the related regulatory liability established to offset the increase in value of the hedging derivate assets.



SO2Emission Allowances



The Clean Air Act Amendments
of 1990 established sulfur dioxide (SO2) allowances to manage the achievement of SO2emissions requirements. The legislation also established a market-based SO2allowance trading component.



An allowance authorizes a utility to emit one ton of SO2during a given year. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allocates allowances to utilities based on mandated emissions reductions. At the end of each year, a utility must hold an amount of
allowances at least equal to its annual emissions. Allowances are fully marketable commodities. Once allocated, allowances may be bought, sold, traded, or banked for use in future years. Allowances may not be used for compliance prior to the
calendar year for which they are allocated.



Over the years,
Tampa Electric has acquired allowances through EPA allocations. Also, over time, Tampa Electric has sold unneeded allowances based on compliance needs and allowances available. The SO2allowances unneeded and sold in 2005 resulted from lower emissions at Tampa Electric brought about by environmental actions taken by the company under the
Clean Air Act and EPA and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) agreements.



In 2005, Tampa Electric sold approximately 100,000 unneeded allowances, resulting in a gain of approximately $79.7 million ($49.0 million after-tax), over 95% of which accrues to customers through the environmental
cost recovery clause. Currently, Tampa Electric holds approximately 120,000 allowances.



Regulatory Assets and Liabilities



Tampa
Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC). These policies conform with GAAP in all material respects.



Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting treatment permitted by FASB Statement No.71 (FAS 71), Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. Areas of applicability include deferral of revenues
under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; substantially
all changes in the fair value of derivative instruments until the contracts are settled; and deferral of costs as regulatory assets, when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year, to the period that the regulatory agency
recognizes them.

Tampa Electric Storm Restoration Costs



On Apr. 1, 2005, Tampa Electric, the Office of Public Counsel, and the
Florida Industrial Power Users Group executed and filed with the FPSC a stipulation regarding the treatment of Tampa Electrics 2004 hurricane restoration costs. The cumulative restoration costs of approximately $75 million exceeded by $32
million the companys transmission and distribution reserve account (storm reserve) as of August 2004 (prior to the first hurricane in 2004). In the stipulation, Tampa Electric agreed to charge $39 million of hurricane restoration costs as
embedded regulatory assets included in Plant In-Service (rate base) rather than seek a customer surcharge to cover the storm reserve deficit. With this adjustment and additional normal accruals, the storm reserve had a positive balance
of approximately $10 million going into this years hurricane season in June 2005. Additionally, Tampa Electric agreed not to seek an increase in base rates that would become effective prior to Jan. 1, 2007, except to recover any future storm
restoration costs in excess of the accrued storm reserve. The agreement was approved by the FPSC in May 2005.



Details of the regulatory assets and liabilities as of Sep. 30, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2004 are presented in the following table:

4. Income Tax Expense



During the nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005 and Sep. 30, 2004 the company experienced a number of events that have impacted the overall effective tax rate
on continuing operations. These events included permanent reinvestment of foreign income under APB Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Taxes  Special Areas, (APB 23), adjustment of deferred tax assets for the effect of an enacted change
in state rates, repatriation of foreign source income to the United States and reduction of income tax expense under the new tonnage tax regime.



On Oct. 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S
corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividend-received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The company elected to apply Code Section 965 with respect to its 2005
foreign cash dividends. For the nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, the company repatriated $31.5 million, resulting in $1.0 million of additional tax expense net of foreign tax credit.

Code Section 248 of the Act also introduced a new tonnage tax which allows corporations
to elect to exclude from gross income certain income from activities connected with the operation of a U.S. flag vessel in U.S. foreign trade and become subject to a tax imposed on the per-ton weight of the qualified vessel instead. The company
elected to apply Code Section 248 for qualified vessels in 2005.



During the three and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005 the company experienced a number of events that have impacted the overall effective tax rate on discontinued operations. Specifically, the company recorded significant consolidated state
tax benefits and impacts from reconciliations to final returns for certain divested assets during 2005.



5. Employee Postretirement Benefits



Included in the table below is the periodic expense for pension and other postretirement benefits offered by the company. No significant changes have been made to these benefit plans since Dec. 31, 2003. On

company on Jul. 1, 2004.

Tampa
Electric Company Accounts Receivable Facility



In January
2005, Tampa Electric Company and TEC Receivables Corp (TRC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tampa Electric Company, entered into a $150 million accounts receivable securitized borrowing facility. The assets of TRC are not intended to be generally
available to the creditors of Tampa Electric Company. Under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement entered into in connection with that facility, Tampa Electric Company sells and/or contributes to TRC all of its receivables for the sale of
electricity or gas to its retail customers and related rights (the Receivables), with the exception of certain excluded receivables and related rights defined in the agreement, and assigns to TRC the deposit accounts into which the proceeds of such
Receivables are paid. The Receivables are sold by Tampa Electric Company to TRC at a discount. Under the Loan and Servicing Agreement among Tampa Electric Company as Servicer, TRC as Borrower, certain lenders named therein and Citicorp North
America, Inc. as Program Agent, TRC may borrow up to $150 million to fund its acquisition of the Receivables under the Purchase Agreement. TRC has secured such borrowings with a pledge of all of its assets including the Receivables and deposit
accounts assigned to it. Tampa Electric Company acts as Servicer to service the collection of the Receivables. TRC pays program and liquidity fees based on Tampa Electric Companys credit ratings. The receivables and the debt of TRC are
included in the consolidated financial statements of TECO Energy and Tampa Electric Company.



7. Long-Term Debt



On
May 26, 2005, TECO Energy completed an institutional private placement of $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% Notes due 2015, which produced net proceeds to the company of approximately $198.2 million. The company may redeem all or
any part of the 6.75% Notes at its option at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed, plus
(ii) the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed or (B) the net present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable
treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 50 basis points.



Also on that date, as part of TECO Energys debt redemption and refinancing plan, TECO Energy called for redemption all $380 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.5% Notes due 2007. The company completed
the redemption on Jun. 27, 2005 utilizing the proceeds from the 6.75% Note placement and available cash on hand at a redemption price of 114.3% of the principal amount plus unpaid and accrued interest to the date of redemption. The total aggregate
redemption price was approximately $437.2 million, including approximately $2.9 million of accrued interest. The company recorded pretax debt-extinguishment charges in the second quarter totaling $71.5 million ($45.0 million after-tax), consisting
of the $54.4 million make-whole cash premium paid in the redemption and a $17.1 million non-cash charge for unamortized discount and debt issuance fees.

On Jun. 7, 2005, TECO Energy completed an institutional private placement of $100 million aggregate
principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due 2010, which resulted in net proceeds to the company of approximately $99.1 million. The Floating Rate Notes mature on May 1, 2010 and bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR, as defined in the
applicable indenture, plus 2.0% per annum. The company may redeem all or any part of Floating Rate Notes at its option at any time before May 1, 2007, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date on the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed, or (B) the net present value of the remaining
payments of principal and interest on the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 50 basis points. The company may also redeem the Floating Rate Notes, in whole or
in part, at any time on or after May 1, 2007 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest.



On Sep. 15, 2005, TECO Energy commenced an offer to exchange $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due
2015, that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) (new 6.75% notes), for all of the outstanding 6.75% notes due 2015, issued in May 2005, as discussed above (old 6.75% notes),
and $100 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due 2010, that similarly have been registered (new floating rate notes), for all of the outstanding floating rate notes due 2010, issued in June 2005, as discussed above
(old floating rate notes). The offer to exchange was conducted to satisfy the companys obligations under the registration rights agreements entered into in connection with the private placements of the old notes. The terms of the
new 6.75% notes and the new floating rate notes to be issued in the exchange offer were substantially similar to the terms of the old 6.75% notes and the old floating rate notes, respectively, except that the new notes are registered under the
Securities Act and have no transfer restrictions, rights to additional payments or registration rights except in limited circumstances. The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Oct. 14, 2005. See Footnote 17 for a
subsequent event regarding this exchange offer.

Capital Trust II



In January 2002, TECO Energy sold 17.965 million adjustable
conversion-rate equity security units in the form of 9.5% equity security units at $25 per unit resulting in $436 million of net proceeds. The holders of these contracts were entitled to quarterly contract adjustment payments at the annualized rate
of 4.39% of the stated amount of $25 per year through and including Jan. 15, 2005. In August 2004, the company exchanged approximately 10.227 million common shares and $14.9 million in cash for 10.756 million units through an early
settlement offer. After the acceptance of the early settlement offer, approximately 7.209 million units remained outstanding. In October 2004, $162.7 million of TECO Capital Trust II trust preferred securities out of a total $180.2 million
aggregate stated liquidation amount of such trust preferred securities outstanding were remarketed. At the closing of the remarketing on Oct. 15, 2004, the company purchased $122.7 million aggregate stated liquidation amount of the trust preferred
securities that were remarketed. The remaining trust preferred securities of this series represents an undivided beneficial interest in a corresponding amount of TECO Energy 5.934% junior subordinated notes due 2007. Junior subordinated notes

11. Commitments and Contingencies



Capital Expenditures



TECO Energy has made certain commitments in connection with its continuing capital expenditure program. At Sep. 30, 2005, the estimated capital
expenditures for the full year 2005 are approximately $305 million, and are summarized below. These estimated expenditures are expected to be offset by proceeds from asset and business sales of approximately $263 million, primarily consisting of the
sale of membership interests in TECO Coal synfuel assets of approximately $116 million and the sale of TWG Merchants interests in Commonwealth Chesapeake Company, LLC (CCC) of $90 million and TPS Dell, LLC of $75 million, partially offset by
the $32 million payment in connection with the transfer of ownership of the Union and Gila River project companies (see Note 15).

Legal Contingencies



Grupo Litigation



In March 2001, TECO Wholesale Generation, Inc. (TWG)
(under its former name of TECO Power Services Corporation) was served with a lawsuit in the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County by a Tampa-based firm named Grupo Interamerica, LLC (Grupo) in connection with a potential investment in a power
project in Colombia in 1996. Grupo alleged, among other things, that TWG breached an oral contract with Grupo. The trial court granted TWGs motions for summary judgment on Oct. 18, 2004, and the plaintiffs appealed. The appellate court ruled
in TWGs favor in September 2005.

On Aug. 30, 2004, a Colombian trade union, Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Electricidad de Colombia (the
Union), which was to be the owner/lessor of the power plant if the transaction had been consummated, filed a demand for arbitration in Colombia pursuant to provisions of a confidentiality and exclusivity agreement (the confidentiality agreement)
between the Union and an indirect subsidiary of TWG, TPS International Power, Inc. (TPSI), alleging breach of contract and seeking damages of approximately $50 million. TPSI denies liability. The hearings before the tribunal began in mid-September
during which testimony from Colombia-based witnesses was taken. Most of these were Union witnesses including its president, its lawyer and Grupos Colombian representative. TPSIs Colombian lawyer and two consultants TPSI hired in 1996 to
advise it on the market also testified. Additional testimony of 8 to 10 TPSI U.S.-based witnesses will occur on Nov. 15 and 16 and possibly Dec. 5 and 6 in Colombia. Experts have been engaged on the subject of damages. Liability is a matter of law
to be determined by the tribunal. TPSI will also engage its own expert. TPSI continues to vigorously defend this matter.



Tampa Electric Transmission Litigation



Four lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court in Hillsborough County against Tampa Electric in connection with the location of transmission poles and
upgrades to a substation in certain residential areas by residents in the areas surrounding the structures and substation. The resident plaintiffs are seeking to remove the poles or to receive monetary damages. The plaintiffs were seeking class
action status, which was denied. Three cases (two, Jorrisen and Acosta were consolidated) are pending before two separate judges and are currently referred to as the Alvarez case (substation case) and the Shaw and Jorrisen cases (pole cases with
different lawyers). These cases involve approximately 200 separate properties. Summary judgment denying injunctive relief (non-monetary relief) has been granted in the Alvarez case. Tampa Electric has filed new motions for partial summary judgment
on the injunctive relief claim in both the Shaw and Jorrisen cases, raising issues that have not yet been before the court. The court denied the motion in the Jorissen case. The motion in the Shaw case, which has certain distinctions from the
Jorissen case, will be heard later in November.



The Shaw
plaintiffs motion to amend their complaint to add punitive damages and Tampa Electrics motion to sever each individual plaintiffs claim to a separate suit were denied. The courts denial of the companys motion to sever
has been appealed, and the second District Court of Appeal agreed to take the case. The Shaw plaintiffs have moved to add Mr. and Mrs. Jorrisen from the other case, and the Jorrisens would then be dropped from the case originally brought
by them. The Shaw and Jorrisen cases have been transferred to the trial division in order to get in line for a trial date. Offers of Judgment for payment of dollars for each plaintiff in both cases have been filed in order to protect Tampa
Electrics interests. The company continues to vigorously defend these lawsuits.



Securities Class Action Lawsuits & Related SEC Inquiry



A number of securities class action lawsuits were filed in August, September and October 2004 against the company and certain current and former officers
(the defendants) by purchasers of TECO Energy securities. These suits, which were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, allege disclosure violations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These actions, which seek
unspecified damages, were consolidated, and, on Feb. 1, 2005, the Court entered its order appointing (i) the TECO Lead Plaintiff Group, comprised of NECA-IBEW Pension Fund (The Decatur Plan), Monroe County Employees Retirement
System, John Marder and Charles Korpak, as the Lead Plaintiff for the Class and (ii) the law firm of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP as Lead Counsel. The plaintiffs filed their Consolidated Class Action Complaint for
Securities Fraud on May 3, 2005. The consolidated complaint maintains the same class period, Oct. 30, 2001 to Feb. 4, 2003, and the same parties as those contained in the original complaint. The nature of the claims, which relate to the
adequacy of the companys disclosures and financial reporting, also remains the same. The defendants filed their motion to dismiss on Jul. 25, 2005, and the plaintiffs had 60 days to file a response. The plaintiffs have been granted an
extension to file their response through Dec. 31, 2005, since the parties have agreed to mediate the claims in mid-December 2005, in order to eliminate uncertainty and ongoing expense associated with the litigation. The company continues to defend
the litigation vigorously. In addition, in connection with the previously disclosed SEC informal inquiry resulting from a letter from the non-equity member in CCC raising issues related to the arbitration proceeding involving that project, the SEC
has requested additional information primarily relating to the allegations made in these securities class action lawsuits focusing on various merchant plant investments and related matters. The company is cooperating and continues to provide
significant information on an agreed schedule and pursuant to an agreed process.



Other issues



The
company cannot predict the ultimate resolution of any of these matters, including the class action litigation, the Tampa Electric transmission litigation, and the Grupo-related proceedings, at this time, and there can be no assurance that any such
matters will not have a material adverse impact on TECO Energys financial condition or results of operations.



From time to time TECO Energy and its subsidiaries are involved in various other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory
commissions and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of its business. Where appropriate, accruals are made in accordance with FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, to provide for matters that are probable of resulting in an estimable,
material loss. While the outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these pending matters will not have a material adverse effect on the companys results of operations or financial condition.

Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites



Tampa Electric Company, through its Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas divisions, is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for
certain superfund sites and, through its Peoples Gas division, for certain former manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liabilities associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, as of Sep. 30,
2005, Tampa Electric Company has estimated its ultimate financial liability to be approximately $17 million, and this amount has been accrued in the companys financial statements. The environmental remediation costs associated with these
sites, which are expected to be paid over many years, are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices.



The estimated amounts represent only the estimated portion of the cleanup costs attributable to Tampa Electric Company. The estimates to perform the work
are based on actual estimates obtained from contractors, or Tampa Electric Companys experience with similar work adjusted for site specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current
dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.



Allocation of the responsibility for remediation costs among Tampa Electric Company and other PRPs is based on each partys relative ownership interest in or usage of a site. Accordingly, Tampa Electric Companys share of
remediation costs varies with each site. In virtually all instances where other PRPs are involved, those PRPs are considered creditworthy.



Factors that could impact these estimates include the ability of other PRPs to pay their pro rata portion of the cleanup costs, additional testing and
investigation which could expand the scope of the cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from the cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. These costs are
recoverable through customer rates established in subsequent base rate proceedings.



TECO Transport Storm Damage



In August and
September 2005, TECO Transport subsidiaries sustained flood and wind damage, as well as business interruptions, as a result of hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The company has incurred $4.6 million of pre-tax ($2.9 million after-tax) direct costs
associated with these storms, including property damage, salvage, and cleanup expenses. The company carries wind and flood insurance for a majority of the property damaged and is in the process of filing claims with its insurance carrier. No
insurance recoveries have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements as of or for the periods ending Sep. 30, 2005. (See Note 17 for a subsequent event).

Financial Covenants



In order to utilize their respective bank credit facilities, TECO Energy and Tampa Electric must meet certain financial tests as defined in the applicable
agreements. In addition, TECO Energy, Tampa Electric and other operating companies have certain restrictive covenants in specific agreements and debt instruments. At Sep. 30, 2005, TECO Energy, Tampa Electric and the other operating companies are in
compliance with all required financial covenants.



12. Segment Information



TECO Energy is an electric and gas utility holding
company with significant diversified activities. Segments are determined based on certain qualitative and quantitative factors as required by FAS 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Qualitative factors
used to determine segments consider how management evaluates, measures and makes decisions with respect to the operations of the entity. The quantitative factors consider each subsidiarys contribution of revenues, net income and total assets.
All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of TECO Energy, but are included in determining reportable segments.



As more fully described in Note 1, during the first quarter of 2005, the company revised internal reporting
information for the purpose of evaluating, measuring and making decisions with respect to the components which previously comprised the Other Unregulated operating segment. The revised operating segment, TECO Guatemala, is comprised of all
Guatemalan operations. The remaining components are now included in Other & Eliminations.



The information presented in the following table excludes all discontinued operations (see Note 15).

13. Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions



Union and Gila River Project Companies



On Jun. 1, 2005, the company completed the previously announced sale and transfer of ownership of its indirect subsidiaries, Union Power Partners, L.P.,
Panda Gila River, L.P., Trans-Union Interstate Pipeline, L.P., and UPP Finance Co., LLC, owners of the Union and Gila River power stations in Arkansas and Arizona, respectively (collectively, the Projects) to an entity owned by the Projects
lenders in the manner set forth in the Projects confirmed Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Plan). In connection with the transfer and the related release of liability, the company and its indirect subsidiaries paid an aggregate of $31.8
million, consisting of $30.0 million to the Projects lenders as consideration for release of liability and $1.8 million as reimbursement of legal fees for two non-consenting lenders in the recently concluded Chapter 11 proceeding. See Note
15 for additional details.



Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station



On Apr. 19, 2005 an indirect subsidiary of TECO Energy
completed the sale of its membership interests in CCC, the owner of the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station in Virginia, to an affiliate of Tenaska Power Fund, L.P. Net proceeds from the sale were $90.2 million after consideration for the value of
working capital less transaction-related expenses. As a result of asset impairments recorded in the fourth quarter 2004, the sale transaction resulted in a pretax gain of $0.9 million ($0.6 million after-tax) upon close. The transaction terms
provided for certain ordinary and customary post-closing adjustments to working capital items, which were completed as expected with no material adjustments in the third quarter of 2005. CCCs results are reflected in discontinued operations
(see Note 15).



Dell Power Station



On Aug. 16, 2005, an indirect subsidiary of TECO Energy completed the
sale of substantially all of its assets, including the Dell Power Station, to Associated Electric Cooperative, Inc, a Missouri electric cooperative, for $75 million. The sale resulted in a pretax gain of $23.2 million ($14.9 million after tax). TECO
Energy retained certain other operating liabilities totaling $11.0 million pretax ($7.1 million after-tax). The net after-tax impact of $7.8 million is included in continuing operations.



TECO Coal Synfuel Interest sale



During July 2005, TECO Synfuel Holdings, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of TECO
Energy, Inc., sold an 8% membership interest in Pike Letcher Synfuel, LLC (Pike Letcher Synfuel). Pike Letcher Synfuel is engaged in the production and sale of synthetic fuel from bituminous coal and a reagent. This is the third transaction
involving a sale of membership interests in Pike Letcher Synfuel. A 49.5% membership interest was sold in April 2003 and an additional 40.5% membership interest was sold in May 2004. TECO Energy, Inc., through its subsidiaries, is retaining a 2%
interest in Pike Letcher Synfuel.



Proceeds from the 8% sale
could reach $43.5 million, most of which would be paid in monthly installments over the period July 2005 to December 2007. Generally, revenue will be recognized as the monthly installments are received. Because the purchase price for this sale, as
well as the other sales of ownership interests, is related to the value of tax credits generated through December 2007, it is subject to a reduction to the extent the credit is limited due to the average domestic oil price for a particular year
exceeding the benchmark designated for that year by the Department of Energy (see Commodity Risk section of Item 2 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations).



BCH Mechanical



BCH Mechanical was sold in January 2005. During the third quarter, the terms of the sale were modified from a sale of stock
to a sale of assets. This modification resulted in an additional after-tax loss of $1.4 million on tax related asstes.



14. Asset Impairments



In the third quarter of 2005, the net realizable value of the indirect subsidiary that holds the McAdams project was reduced by an additional pre-tax
amount of $9.2 million ($5.9 million after-tax) to recognize contractual obligations with no future value. As a result, the net realizable value of McAdams assets was reduced to $13.5 million as of Sep. 30, 2005. The related balance sheet and
income statement accounts are reflected in continuing operations.



In the second quarter of 2005, the net realizable value of the indirect subsidiary that holds the investment in the Miami Chiller project (TECO Thermal) was reduced by an additional pre-tax amount of $1.0 million ($0.6 million after-tax) to
reflect current discussions with potential purchasers of that project. The related balance sheet and income statement accounts are reflected in discontinued operations.

15. Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale



Union and Gila River Project Companies



On Jun. 1, 2005, the company completed the sale and transfer of the Union
and Gila River project companies (see Note 13). As a result of the transaction, the company recorded a non-cash, pretax gain of $117.7 million ($76.5 million after-tax), which is reflected in discontinued operations. As of December 2003, the
date the company decided to exit the projects, an impairment charge was recorded to reduce the property, plant and equipment associated with the projects to fair value. Subsequent to the impairment charge, and through the May 31, 2005 effective
date of the transfer to the lending group, the net equity of the projects was reduced by accumulated unfunded operating losses primarily related to unpaid accrued interest expense on the projects. As a result of the recognition of these subsequent
losses, the book value of the assets was less than the book value of non-recourse project financing at the effective date of the sale and transfer to the lending group. Accordingly, the gain on the disposition represents the transfer of equity in
the projects and the related non-recourse debt and other liabilities in excess of the asset value of the projects.



As an asset held for sale, the assets and liabilities that were expected to be transferred as part of the sale, as of Dec. 31, 2004, were reclassified in
the balance sheet. The results from operations and the gain on sale have been reflected in discontinued operations for all periods presented. The following table provides selected components of discontinued operations for the Union and Gila River
project companies.

Net property, plant
and equipment were reduced by accumulated depreciation of $49.4 million and a valuation adjustment of $1,099.3 million as of Dec. 31, 2004. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 144 (FAS 144), Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets, no depreciation was recognized on the Union and Gila River project company assets in 2005 and 2004 as a result of being classified as held for sale. Had these assets not been classified as held for sale, $34.9 million of
depreciation expense would have been recognized in the nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, and $19.9 million and $62.8 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004. Further, in accordance with Statement of Position
90-7,Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7) and the provisions of the U.S. bankruptcy code and the Joint Plan, interest expense on the project entities non-recourse debt subsequent to the
bankruptcy filing was not to be paid and was therefore not recorded. Had the bankruptcy proceeding not occurred, the Union and Gila River project entities would have recorded additional pretax interest expense of $22.2 million and $21.1 million
during the first and second quarters of 2005, respectively, which would have been reported in income (loss) from discontinued operations.

16. Derivatives and Hedging



At Sep. 30, 2005, TECO Energy and its affiliates had
total derivative assets (current and non-current) of $158.3 million, compared to total derivative assets and liabilities (current and non-current) of $3.8 million and $12.0 million, respectively, at Dec. 31 2004. At Sep. 30, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2004,
accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) included after-tax gains of $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, representing the fair value of cash flow hedges whose transactions will occur in the future. Amounts recorded in AOCI reflect the
estimated fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges, based on market prices as of the balance sheet date. These amounts are expected to fluctuate with movements in market prices and may or may not be realized as a gain upon future
reclassification from OCI.



For the three months and nine
months ended Sep. 30, 2005, respectively, TECO Energy and its affiliates reclassified amounts from OCI and recognized net pretax gains of $1.0 million and $4.6 million, compared to pretax losses of $4.5 million and $27.9 million, respectively, for
the same periods in 2004. Amounts reclassified from OCI were primarily related to cash flow hedges of physical purchases of fuel oil. For these types of hedge relationships, the loss on the derivative reclassified from OCI to earnings is offset by
the reduced expense arising from lower prices paid for spot purchases of fuel oil. Conversely, reclassification of a gain from OCI to earnings is offset by the increased cost of spot purchases of fuel oil.



As a result of applying the provisions of FAS 71, the changes in value of
derivatives of Tampa Electric and PGS are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities to reflect the impact of the fuel recovery clause on the risks of hedging activities (see

##### Table of Contents

Note 3). Based on the fair value of cash flow hedges at Sep. 30, 2005, pretax gains of $1.8 million are expected
to be reversed from OCI to the Consolidated Statements of Income within the next twelve months. However, these gains and other future reclassifications from OCI will fluctuate with movements in the underlying market price of the derivative
instruments. The company does not currently have any cash flow hedges for transactions forecasted to take place in periods subsequent to 2006.



For the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, respectively, the company also recognized pretax gains of $6.3 million and $2.7 million,
relating to derivatives that were not designated as either a cash flow or fair value hedge compared $6.2 million and $8.7 million for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004.



17. Subsequent Events



TECO Energy Credit Facility



On Oct. 11, 2005, TECO Energy amended its $200 million bank credit facility. The amendment extends the maturity date of the credit facility to Oct. 11,
2010 (subject to extension with the consent of each lender); allows TECO Energy to borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the federal funds rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a margin, as well as a rate equal to either the London interbank
deposit rate plus a margin or JPMorgan Chase Banks prime rate (or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) plus a margin; and allows TECO Energy to request the lenders to increase their commitments under the credit facility by
up to $50 million. The financial covenants were also amended to increase the permissible consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, for various periods after Dec. 30, 2005 and decrease the permissible consolidated leverage ratio for
periods ending on or after Jan. 1, 2010.



Tampa Electric $325 million Credit
Facility



On Oct. 11, 2005, Tampa Electric amended its
$150 million 3-year bank credit facility and terminated its $125 million 3-year Revolving Credit Agreement, entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility increases the total
commitment under the facility to $325 million; extends the maturity date of the credit facility to Oct. 11, 2010 (subject to extension with the consent of each lender); allows Tampa Electric to borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the federal
funds rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a margin, as well as a rate equal to either the London interbank deposit rate plus a margin or Citibanks prime rate (or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) plus a margin; allows
Tampa Electric to request the lenders to increase their commitments under the credit facility by up to $50 million; and includes a $50 million letter of credit facility. The financial covenants were also amended to eliminate the requirement that
Tampa Electric maintain a specified ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest, as defined in the agreement, and increase the permissible quarter-end debt to capital, as defined in the agreement, to
65%.



TECO Energy Debt Exchange Offer



On Oct. 17, 2005, TECO Energy completed the exchange of all of its $200
million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2015 and $100 million of floating rate notes due 2010, for new 6.75% notes due 2015 and new floating rate notes due 2010, respectively, that have been registered under the Securities Act.



TECO Transport Storm Damage



Subsequent to Sep. 30, 2005, TECO Transport received $5 million of insurance
proceeds related to damages incurred from hurricanes. Additional insurance recoveries are conditional upon settlements with the insurance carriers and final determination of direct storm-related costs, which are still being evaluated (See Note
11).

TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. Significant Accounting Policies



The significant accounting policies are as follows:



Principles of Consolidation



Tampa Electric Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc.,
and is comprised of the Electric division, generally referred to as Tampa Electric, and the Natural Gas division, generally referred to as Peoples Gas System (PGS). All significant intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.



The use of estimates is inherent
in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Actual results could differ from these estimates.



Revenues and Fuel Costs



As of Sep. 30, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2004, unbilled revenues of $50.2 million and $46.3 million, respectively, are included in the Receivables
line item on the balance sheet.



Purchased Power



Tampa Electric purchases power on a regular basis to meet the needs of its
customers. Tampa Electric purchased power from entities not affiliated with TECO Energy at a cost of $104.6 million and $190.4 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, compared to $53.1 million and $135.2
million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004. Prudently incurred purchased power costs at Tampa Electric are recoverable through FPSC-approved cost recovery clauses.



Accounting for Franchise Fees and Gross Receipts



The regulated utilities (Tampa Electric and PGS) are allowed to recover from
customers certain costs incurred through prices approved by the FPSC. These amounts totaled $24.2 million and $65.5 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, compared to $22.4 million and $63.7 million,
respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004. Franchise fees and gross receipt taxes payable by the regulated utilities are included as an expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income in Taxes, other than
income. These totaled $24.3 million and $65.4 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005, compared to $22.4 million and $63.6 million, respectively, for the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2004.





2. New Accounting Pronouncements



Asset Retirement
Obligations



FASB Interpretation No. 47(FIN
47), Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligation, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, was issued in March 2005 and becomes effective for fiscal years ending after Dec. 15, 2005. FIN 47 clarifies the term
conditional asset retirement obligation as a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity,
and clarifies when an entity has sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The company plans to implement FIN 47 during the fourth quarter of 2005 and continues to evaluate the impact of
implementation.



Accounting Changes and Error Corrections



FASB Statement No. 154 (FAS 154),
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, was issued in May 2005 and becomes effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2005. FAS 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods financial statements for changes in accounting principle, redefines the term restatement as the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error, requires that retrospective
application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change, and requires that a change in depreciation, amortization or depletion method for long-lived nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in
accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. This statement will be implemented on Jan. 1, 2006 and is not expected to materially impact the company.

3. Regulatory



Cost Recovery  Tampa Electric



Tampa Electric recovers the cost of fuel, purchased power, eligible environmental expenditures, and conservation through cost recovery clauses that are
adjusted on an annual basis. As part of the regulatory process, it is reasonably likely that third parties may intervene in various matters related to fuel, purchased power, environmental and conservation cost recovery. The company is unable to
predict the timing, nature or impact of such future actions.



Tampa Electrics cost recovery clause regulatory asset has increased by $126.7 million since Dec. 31, 2004 primarily as a result of increased commodity prices of fuel. Tampa Electric has made its annual fuel filing for increased cost
recovery rates for fuel. These rates will become effective in January 2006. Based upon the increased rate called for in the fuel filing, this regulatory asset balance will be reduced. However, the reduction of this regulatory asset balance is
dependent upon actual commodity fuel prices compared with those anticipated in the annual fuel filing.



See Footnote 9 for a discussion of the fuel recovery clause related to the companys fuel commodity hedging activity and the related
regulatory liability established to offset the increase in value of the hedging derivative assets.



SO2Emission Allowances



The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 established sulfur dioxide (SO2) allowances to manage the achievement of SO2emissions requirements. The legislation also established a
market-based SO2allowance trading component.



An allowance authorizes a utility to emit
one ton of SO2during a given year. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allocates allowances to utilities
based on mandated emissions reductions. At the end of each year, a utility must hold an amount of allowances at least equal to its annual emissions. Allowances are fully marketable commodities. Once allocated, allowances may be bought, sold, traded,
or banked for use in future years. Allowances may not be used for compliance prior to the calendar year for which they are allocated.



Over the years, Tampa Electric has acquired allowances through EPA allocations. Also, over time, Tampa Electric has sold unneeded allowances based on
compliance needs and allowances available. The SO2allowances unneeded and sold in 2005 resulted from lower
emissions at Tampa Electric as the result of environmental actions taken by the company under the Clean Air Act and EPA and Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) agreements.



In 2005, Tampa Electric sold approximately 100,000 unneeded allowances, resulting in a gain of approximately $79.7 million
($49.0 million after-tax), over 95% of which accrues to customers through the environmental cost recovery clause. Currently, Tampa Electric holds approximately 120,000 allowances.



Regulatory Assets and Liabilities



Tampa Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in
accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These policies conform with GAAP in all material respects.



Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting treatment permitted by FASB Statement No. 71 (FAS 71), Accounting for the
Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. Areas of applicability include deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect
increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; substantially all changes in fair value of derivative instruments until the contracts are settled; and deferral of costs as regulatory assets, when cost recovery
is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year, to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them.



Tampa Electric Storm Restoration Costs



On Apr. 1, 2005, Tampa Electric, the Office of Public Counsel, and the Florida Industrial Power Users Group executed and filed with the FPSC a stipulation
regarding the treatment of Tampa Electrics 2004 hurricane restoration costs. The cumulative restoration costs of approximately $75 million exceeded by $32 million the companys transmission and distribution reserve account (storm reserve)
as of August 2004 (prior to the first hurricane in 2004). In the stipulation, Tampa Electric agreed to charge $39 million of hurricane restoration costs as embedded regulatory assets included in Plant In-Service (rate base) rather than
seek a customer surcharge to cover the storm reserve deficit. With this adjustment and additional normal accruals, the storm reserve had a positive balance of approximately $10 million going into this years hurricane season in June 2005.
Additionally, Tampa Electric agreed not to seek an increase in base rates that would become effective prior to Jan. 1, 2007, except to recover any future storm restoration costs in excess of the accrued storm reserve. The agreement was approved by
the FPSC in May 2005.

4. Income Tax Expense



Tampa Electric Company is included in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with TECO Energy and its affiliates. Tampa Electric
Companys income tax expense is based upon a separate return computation. Tampa Electric Companys rates for the nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005 and Sep. 30, 2004 differ from the statutory rate principally due to state income taxes and
amortization of investment tax credits (ITC).

These credit facilities require commitment fees ranging from 17.5 to 25.0 basis points. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding notes payable at
Sep. 30, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2004 was 5.55% and 3.32%, respectively.



Tampa
Electric Company Accounts Receivable Facility



In January
2005, Tampa Electric Company and TEC Receivables Corp (TRC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tampa Electric Company, entered into a $150 million accounts receivable securitized borrowing facility. The assets of TRC are not intended to be generally
available to the creditors of Tampa Electric Company. Under the Purchase and Contribution Agreement entered into in connection with that facility, Tampa Electric Company sells and/or contributes to TRC all of its receivables for the sale of
electricity or gas to its retail customers and related rights (the Receivables), with the exception of certain excluded receivables and related rights defined in the agreement, and assigns to TRC the deposit accounts into which the proceeds of such
Receivables are paid. The Receivables are sold by Tampa Electric Company to TRC at a discount. Under the Loan and Servicing Agreement among Tampa Electric Company as Servicer, TRC as Borrower, certain lenders named therein and Citicorp North
America, Inc. as Program Agent, TRC may borrow up to $150 million to fund its acquisition of the Receivables under the Purchase Agreement. TRC has secured such borrowings with a pledge of all of its assets including the Receivables and deposit
accounts assigned to it. Tampa Electric Company acts as Servicer to service the collection of the Receivables. TRC pays program and liquidity fees based on Tampa Electric Companys credit ratings. The receivables and the debt of TRC are
included in the consolidated financial statements of Tampa Electric Company.



7. Commitments and Contingencies



Legal Contingencies



Tampa Electric Transmission Litigation



Four lawsuits were filed in the Circuit Court in Hillsborough County
against Tampa Electric in connection with the location of transmission poles and upgrades to a substation in certain residential areas by residents in the areas surrounding the structures and substation. The resident plaintiffs are seeking to remove
the poles or to receive monetary damages. The plaintiffs were seeking class action status, which was denied. Three cases (two, Jorrisen and Acosta were consolidated) are pending before two separate judges and are currently referred to as the Alvarez
case (substation case) and the Shaw and Jorrisen cases (pole cases with different lawyers). These cases involve approximately 200 separate properties. Summary judgment denying injunctive relief (non-monetary relief) has been granted in the Alvarez
case. Tampa Electric has filed new motions for partial summary judgment on the injunctive relief claim in both the Shaw and Jorrisen cases, raising issues that have not yet been before the court. The court denied the motion in the Jorissen case. The
motion in the Shaw case, which has certain distinctions from the Jorissen case, will be heard later in November.



The Shaw plaintiffs motion to amend their complaint to add punitive damages and Tampa Electrics motion to sever each individual
plaintiffs claim to a separate suit were denied. The courts denial of the companys motion to sever has been appealed, and the second District Court of Appeal agreed to take the case. The Shaw plaintiffs have moved to add
Mr. and Mrs. Jorrisen from the other case, and the Jorrisens would then be dropped from the case originally brought by them. The Shaw and Jorrisen cases have been transferred to the trial division in order to get in line for a trial date.
Offers of Judgment for payment of dollars for each plaintiff in both cases have been filed in order to protect Tampa Electrics interests. The company continues to vigorously defend these lawsuits.

Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites



Tampa Electric Company, through its Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas divisions, is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for
certain superfund sites and, through its Peoples Gas division, for certain former manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liabilities associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, as of Sep. 30,
2005, Tampa Electric Company has estimated its ultimate financial liability to be approximately $17 million, and this amount has been accrued in the companys financial statements. The environmental remediation costs associated with these
sites, which are expected to be paid over many years, are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices.



The estimated amounts represent only the estimated portion of the cleanup costs attributable to Tampa Electric Company. The estimates to perform the work
are based on actual estimates obtained from contractors, or Tampa Electric Companys experience with similar work adjusted for site specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current
dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.



Allocation of the responsibility for remediation costs among Tampa Electric Company and other PRPs is based on each partys relative ownership interest in or usage of a site. Accordingly, Tampa Electric Companys share of
remediation costs varies with each site. In virtually all instances where other PRPs are involved, those PRPs are considered creditworthy.



Factors that could impact these estimates include the ability of other PRPs to pay their pro rata portion of the cleanup costs, additional testing and
investigation which could expand the scope of the cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from the cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. These costs are
recoverable through customer rates established in subsequent base rate proceedings.



Guarantees and Letters of Credit



At Sep. 30,
2005, Tampa Electric Company was not obligated under guarantees or letters of credit for the benefit of third parties, including entities under common control. At Sep. 30, 2005, TECO Energy had provided a fuel purchase guarantee on behalf of Tampa
Electric Company and had outstanding letters of credit on behalf of Tampa Electric Company in the face amounts of $20.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.



Financial Covenants



In order to utilize its bank credit facilities, Tampa Electric Company must meet certain financial tests as defined in the applicable agreements. In
addition, Tampa Electric Company has certain restrictive covenants in specific agreements and debt instruments. At Sep. 30, 2005, Tampa Electric Company was in compliance with required financial covenants.

9. Derivatives and Hedging



At Sep. 30, 2005 and Dec. 31, 2004, respectively, the
company had total derivative assets (liabilities) of $144.1 million and ($11.7) million. As a result of applying the provisions of FAS 71, the changes in value of these derivatives are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities as of Sep. 30, 2005
and Dec. 31, 2004, respectively, to reflect the impact of the fuel recovery clause on the risks of hedging activities (see Note 3).



10. Subsequent Event



Tampa Electric $325 million Credit Facility



On Oct. 11, 2005, Tampa Electric amended its $150 million 3-year bank credit facility and terminated its $125 million 3-year Revolving Credit Agreement, entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with
several lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility increases the total commitment under the facility to $325 million; extends the maturity date of the credit facility to Oct. 11, 2010 (subject to extension with the consent of each lender);
allows Tampa Electric to borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the federal funds rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a margin, as well as a rate equal to either the London interbank deposit rate plus a margin or Citibanks prime rate
(or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) plus a margin; allows Tampa Electric to request the lenders to increase their commitments under the credit facility by up to $50 million; and includes a $50 million letter of credit
facility. The financial covenants were also amended to eliminate the requirement that Tampa Electric maintain a specified ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest, as defined in the agreement, and
increase the permissible quarter-end debt- to-capital, as defined in the agreement, to 65%.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS



This Managements Discussion and Analysis
contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Actual results may differ materially from those forecasted. These forward-looking statements include references to TECO
Energys anticipated capital investments, liquidity and financing requirements, projected operating results, future transactions and other plans. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these
forward-looking statements include: general economic conditions in Tampa Electrics and Peoples Gas service areas affecting energy and gas sales; economic conditions, both national and international, affecting the demand for TECO
Transports waterborne transportation services; state or federal regulatory actions that could reduce revenues or increase costs at all of TECO Energys operating companies; weather variations affecting energy and gas sales and operating
costs at Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas and the effect of extreme weather conditions; commodity price changes affecting the margins at TECO Coal; and the ability of TECO Energys subsidiaries to operate equipment without undue accidents,
breakdowns or failures. Additional factors that could impact actual results include: any additional debt extinguishment costs or premiums associated with the early retirement of TECO Energy debt; unexpected capital needs or unanticipated reductions
in cash flow that affect liquidity; declines in the anticipated waterborne fuel volumes transported by TECO Transport for Tampa Electric; TECO Coals ability to successfully operate its synthetic fuel production facilities in a manner
qualifying for Section 29 federal income tax credits, which could be impacted by changes in law, regulation or administration; oil prices in excess of the annual reference price, which would reduce or eliminate Section 29 tax credits,
which would reduce or eliminate the earnings and cash flow from the sale of membership interests in the synfuel production facilities at TECO Coal; and materially adverse outcomes in the disclosed litigation. Some of these factors and others are
discussed more fully under Investment Considerations in Exhibit 99.1 to TECO Energy Inc.s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended Jun. 30, 2005.



TECO Energy, Inc. is a holding company, and all of its business is conducted through its subsidiaries. In this
Managements Discussion and Analysis, we, our, ours and us refer to TECO Energy, Inc. and its consolidated group of companies, unless the context otherwise requires.

Operating Results



Three Months Ended Sep. 30, 2005:



Third quarter net income was $94.6 million, compared to $41.3 million in the
third quarter of 2004. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.46, compared to $0.21 per share in the third quarter of 2004. The number of shares outstanding was 6.7% higher in 2005 than in the 2004 period, primarily due to common shares issued
in the settlement of the 9.5% adjustable conversion-rate equity security units in January 2005.



Third quarter net income and earnings per share from continuing operations were $94.5 million and $0.46, respectively, in 2005, compared to $45.8 million
and $0.23 for the same period in 2004. Third quarter results from continuing operations included $2.9 million of after-tax direct costs associated with Hurricane Katrina for restoration efforts at TECO Bulk Terminal and the river barge reclamation
efforts for TECO Barge Line. Results also included a $1.9 million after-tax net benefit on the Dell Power Station upon closing of the sale in August 2005, partially offset by increased reserves for contractual liabilities associated with the Dell
and McAdams power stations.

##### Table of Contents

Nine Months Ended Sep. 30, 2005:



Year-to-date net income and earnings per share were $222.5 million and $1.08, respectively, in 2005, compared to a loss of
$64.4 million and a per share loss of $0.34 for the same period in 2004. Shares outstanding in the year-to-date period were 8.1% higher than in 2004. The year-to-date net income and earnings per share from continuing operations were $158.4 million
and $0.77, respectively, in 2005, compared to a loss from continuing operations of $4.4 million and a per share loss of $0.02 for the same period in 2004.



In addition to the costs associated with Hurricane Katrina and the net benefit on the sale of the Dell Power Station recorded in the third quarter,
year-to-date net income in 2005 included a $45.0 million after-tax debt-extinguishment charge associated with the June redemption of $380 million of 10.5% notes due 2007. This charge was more than offset by the $76.5 million after-tax gain recorded
in discontinued operations upon the final transfer of the Union and Gila River merchant power projects to the lenders effective May 31, 2005. The gain related to the transferred power projects represented the accumulated unfunded operating
losses recorded against equity for the period from December 2003, the date the company decided to exit the projects, through the effective date of the transfer to the lending group. Net income for the same period in 2004 included $99.0 million of
after-tax charges associated with the valuation adjustment for the sale of the interest in the Texas Independent Energy (TIE) projects completed in August 2004; a $6.7 million after-tax debt-extinguishment charge associated with the refinancing of
the San José Power Station in Guatemala; a $19.3 million charge for taxes on cash repatriated from Guatemala; and after-tax impairments of $3.4 million and $0.8 million at TECO Solutions and TECO Transport, respectively, partially offset by
an after-tax gain of $12.2 million on the sale of the companys interest in its propane business.



Effective with first quarter 2005 results, TECO Energy revised its segment reporting to separately report the results of TECO Guatemala, which includes
the results for the San José and Alborada power stations and the 24% ownership interest in EEGSA, Guatemalas largest distribution utility. The results for these operations were previously reported in the Other unregulated
segment. Following the sales of the larger energy services businesses, which were previously reported in the Other unregulated segment, the remaining small operations of TECO Solutions are now reported in the Parent/other results.
Following the merchant power dispositions, the current-period TWG Merchant segment includes only the results for the uncompleted McAdams Power Station, the Dell Power Station through the closing of its sale in August 2005 and the costs associated
with the TWG Merchant parent. Prior periods also included the results for the ownership interest in the TIE projects in the TWG Merchant segment. Results for the unregulated business segments include internally allocated interest expense. Interest
expense is not allocated to discontinued operations and instead remains at the TECO Energy parent level.



Tampa Electric Company  Electric division (Tampa Electric)



Tampa Electrics net income for the third quarter was $62.7 million, compared to $53.4 million for the same period in 2004. Results in 2005 reflect
2.7% customer growth; hotter weather than normal and than 2004; a $1.9 million after-tax benefit for the wholesale component of the sale of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions credits, which does not flow through the Environmental Cost Recovery Clause; partially offset by higher non-fuel operations and maintenance expenses (O&M) due to lower O&M in 2004
when hurricane restoration efforts were charged to the hurricane storm reserve and higher depreciation expense from normal plant additions. Results in 2005 also include a $2.2 million after-tax reduction in revenue to reflect the FPSCs
decision in the third quarter of 2004 to disallow recovery of a portion of Tampa Electrics waterborne solid fuel transportation costs, compared to 2004s third quarter results, which included a $6.4 million after-tax adjustment to reflect
three quarters of the disallowance.



Year-to-date net income
was $123.5 million in 2005, compared to $119.2 million for the same period in 2004. These results reflect the benefits of 2.4% customer growth and strong third quarter energy sales that more than offset weak energy sales in the first half of 2005
due to mild weather; non-fuel operations and maintenance expenses higher than 2004 and higher depreciation expense from normal plant additions. Year-to-date results in 2005 also reflect a $6.8 million reduction in after-tax income related to the
waterborne solid fuel transportation disallowance.



Retail
energy sales increased more than 9% compared to the third quarter of 2004, as strong customer growth and hotter than normal weather combined to boost energy sales to weather-sensitive residential customers. Sales to commercial and industrial
customers increased, reflecting the strong local economy. Total heating and cooling degree-days for the Tampa area in the quarter were almost 7% above normal and 11% above 2004 levels. Year-to-date retail energy sales were 3% higher in 2005 than the
same period in 2004, as lower energy sales in the first half of the year due to mild weather were recovered in the third quarter. Total heating and cooling degree-days for the Tampa area for the 2005 year-to-date period were more than 5% below
normal but only 2% below 2004 levels.



In 2006, Tampa Electric
expects to purchase the combustion turbines from the uncompleted McAdams Power Station at their net book value and relocate them to the Polk Power Station to meet its peaking capacity needs in 2007. The total cost of the project, including the
installation, is expected to be about $90 million.

Tampa Electric Company  Natural Gas division (Peoples Gas System)



Peoples Gas System (PGS) reported net income of $4.1 million for the third quarter, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 2004. Quarterly
results reflected customer growth of 3.8%, higher therm sales to residential and commercial customers and higher volumes for power generation customers and off-system sales. Year-to-date net income was $22.9 million, compared to $21.7 million for
the 2004 period. The year-to-date results reflect 4.0% customer growth, residential and commercial therm sales growth and strong volumes for off-system and power generation customers. In both the quarter and year-to-date periods, strong sales to
commercial customers reflected growth in the Florida economy and high levels of tourism, which enhance commercial sales to hotels and restaurants, while sales of low-margin transportation service for interruptible customers declined.



A summary of PGS operating statistics for the three months and nine
months ended Sep. 30, 2005 and 2004 follows:

TECO Coal



TECO Coal reported net income of $34.6 million for the third quarter on
total sales of 2.3 million tons, compared to $12.5 million reported in the same period in 2004 on 2.3 million tons. Synfuel sales, which are included in the total sales, were 1.6 million tons in both the 2005 and 2004 periods.
Compared to the same period in 2004, results reflect a 50% higher average net selling price per ton and a 13% increase in the average cash cost of sales, excluding synfuel costs. In 2005, results for the quarter also reflected the 98% ownership in
Pike Letcher Synfuel, LLC sold to third parties, compared to 90% in the 2004 period. The results in 2005 also included a $3.5 million after-tax mark-to-market gain on economic hedges placed to protect the companys synfuel benefits against
rising oil prices. See the Disclosures About Market Risk  Commodity Risksection below for a discussion on the potential effect of higher oil prices on TECO Coals results.



Year-to-date net income in 2005 was $90.5 million on total sales of
7.1 million tons, compared to $45.6 million on 6.9 million tons for the same period in 2004. Synfuel sales, which are included in the total sales, were 4.9 million tons in 2005, compared to 4.8 million tons in the 2004 period.
Results for the year-to-date period reflect an average net selling price per ton more than 45% higher than 2004; average cash cost of sales, excluding synfuel costs, more than 20% higher than 2004; and increased third-party ownership in the synfuel
production facilities. The cash cost of sales was driven by higher prices for diesel fuel, labor and steel products. Year-to-date results for 2005 also included a $1.6 million pretax benefit resulting from an adjustment of the 2004 Section 29
tax credit rate to reflect $1.13 per million Btu on an actual basis versus the $1.12 per million Btu estimated in 2004, a $3.0 million year-to-date after-tax mark-to-market gain on oil price hedges, and a $2.4 million negative adjustment to deferred
tax assets, which was made due to a reduction in the Kentucky state income tax rate recorded in the first quarter.



TECO Synfuel Holdings, LLC had previously sold 90% of its membership interest to two third parties, along with associated percentage rights to benefits in
the business that adjust from time to time. Allocation of the benefits was temporarily increased 8% in the first and second quarters such that 98% of the benefits went to the third parties. In July 2005, a permanent increase in the third-party
ownership of the synfuel facilities of 8% was achieved through the sale of this interest to a different third party. Under third-party ownership transactions, TECO Coal is paid to provide feedstock, operate the synthetic fuel production facilities
and sell the output while the purchasers have the risks and rewards of ownership, and are allocated 98% of the tax credits and operating costs.



TECO Transport



TECO Transport recorded third quarter net income of $0.9 million, compared to $0.6 million in the same period in 2004. TECO Transports results for
the third quarter of 2005 included $2.9 million after-tax direct costs associated with the restoration and recovery efforts for Hurricane Katrina, while the same period in 2004 included $1.1 million of after-tax management restructuring costs. TECO
Transport anticipates at least partial recovery of costs associated with Hurricane Katrina restoration and recovery efforts from insurance policies. These recovery amounts are contingent on settlements with insurance carriers and are not reflected
in the financial statements. These results reflect higher river barge rates, northbound shipments, and tonnage moved for Tampa Electric at TECO Barge Line. Higher river barge rates are expected to continue in the near term as a result of
industry-wide disruptions following Hurricane Katrina. These results also reflect the qualification of

a second oceangoing vessel for the benefits of tax law changes under the Jobs Creation Act to keep U.S. flag vessels
competitive with non-U.S. flag vessels, which reduces taxes on income earned by U.S. flag vessels engaged in full-time international trade. Higher fuel costs were largely offset by a $1.9 million after-tax benefit from fuel hedges. TECO Transport
estimates that the business interruptions associated with Hurricanes Katrina and Rita reduced third quarter net income by about $3.0 million. In 2004s third quarter, TECO Transports net income was reduced by about $2.5 million due to the
business interruptions associated with four hurricanes in that period.



TECO Transport recorded year-to-date net income of $10.3 million that included the direct hurricane costs recorded in the third quarter, compared to net income of $3.6 million in the same period in 2004 which included the management
restructuring costs recorded in the third quarter and $0.8 million of valuation adjustments on oceangoing equipment. These results reflect the same factors as in the third quarter and increased movements of export coal, petroleum coke and other
products through TECO Bulk Terminal. Higher fuel costs were largely offset by a $2.6 million after-tax benefit from fuel hedges.



TECO Guatemala



TECO Guatemala reported third quarter net income of $14.0 million in 2005, compared to $14.5 million in the 2004 period. Third quarter results in 2004
included a $5.6 million benefit from reducing previously deferred income taxes due to a change in Guatemalan tax law. The 2005 results reflect higher capacity revenues and energy sales from the generating facilities and customer growth and higher
energy sales at EEGSA, partially offset by higher operations and maintenance expenses and unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates. Year-to-date net income was $33.4 million in 2005, compared to $9.3 million in 2004. The 2005 results reflect
higher operations and maintenance expenses early in the year partially offset by energy sales and customer growth at EEGSA and higher capacity revenues for the power plants. The 2004 results included the $6.7 million charge related to debt
extinguishment and $19.3 million of taxes on repatriated cash.



TECO Guatemala could be adversely affected by the recent significant increases in fuel prices, which have a corresponding effect on electricity prices in Guatemala. Even though the segments generating assets are not subject to
fuel price risk directly, since the long-term power sales agreements for the San Jose and Alborada Power Stations call for the distribution utility to bear the cost of increasing fuel prices, the operations and results of these two power
stations could be affected as the government and regulatory authorities seek ways to make electricity more affordable for consumers in Guatemala.



TWG Merchant



In 2005, TWG Merchant recorded a third-quarter net loss of $0.3 million, compared to a loss of $14.0 million for the same period in 2004. Third quarter
results in 2005 included the $1.9 million net benefit from the sale of the Dell Power Station, offset by the recognition of additional liabilities relating to both the Dell and McAdams power stations. The improvement in 2005 is primarily the result
of the discontinuation of interest allocation to the uncompleted Dell and McAdams power stations and the sale of the Dell Power Station in August. The year-to-date net loss was $14.6 million in 2005, compared to a loss of $142.7 million for the same
period in 2004. Results in 2004 included the losses from the ownership interest in the TIE projects, which was sold in July 2004 and the $99.0 million after-tax charge related to the TIE valuation adjustment.



In 2006, the TWG Merchant subsidiary that owns the uncompleted McAdams Power
Station expects to sell the combustion turbines from that station to Tampa Electric (see Tampa Electric  Electric division section).



Other and Eliminations



Losses from Other and Eliminations, including TECO Energy parent, were $21.5 million in the third quarter of 2005, compared to losses of $24.2 million in
the same period in 2004. Although total parent interest expense declined in the quarter due to the redemption of the trust preferred debt associated with the early settlement and final conversion of the variable conversion-rate equity security units
and the retirement of the 10.5% notes in June 2005, interest expense at the parent reflects the impact of no longer allocating interest to TWG Merchant beginning in the third quarter. The year-to-date loss for 2005 was $107.6 million, including the
$45.0 million after-tax debt-extinguishment charge recorded in the second quarter compared to a loss of $61.1 million in the same period in 2004, including the $3.4 million after-tax 2004 valuation adjustment at TECO Solutions and the $12.2 million
after-tax gain on the sale of the companys interest in its propane business.



Interest Charges



Total interest charges for
the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005 were $68.3 million and $220.2 million, respectively, compared to $75.2 million and $245.0 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2004. Interest expense for the third quarter was lower than
that for the 2004 period, primarily reflecting the retirement in 2004 of $392 million of the trust preferred component of TECO Energys equity security units and the retirement of the 10.5% notes in June 2005.



Income Taxes



The provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the 2005 third quarter and year-to-date periods was an expense
of $ 39.2 and $ 71.0 million, respectively, compared to an expense of $19.5 million and $14.5 million for the same periods in 2004. In addition to the tax on recurring operations, the 2005 expense includes the provision for U.S.
income taxes on

cash repatriated from Guatemala, tax expense related to an enacted change in state income tax rates in Kentucky, and a
tax benefit related to the application of the tonnage tax to qualified vessels. The 2004 expense also includes the provision for U.S. income taxes on cash repatriated from Guatemala and the tax benefit related to the TIE divestment loss.



During the three months and nine months ended Sep. 30, 2005
and Sep. 30, 2004 the company experienced a number of events that have impacted the overall effective tax rate on continuing operations. These events included permanent reinvestment of foreign income under Accounting Principles Board Opinion
No. 23, Accounting for Taxes  Special Areas, (APB 23), adjustment of deferred tax assets for the effect of an enacted change in state rates, repatriation of foreign source income to the United States and reduction of income tax
expense under the new tonnage tax regime.



Discontinued
Operations



Net income from discontinued operations for
the 2005 third quarter was $0.1 million, compared to a net loss of $4.5 million in the same period of 2004. Discontinued operations in the quarter consisted primarily of true-up amounts from previously divested assets. Year-to-date 2005 net income
from discontinued operations was $64.1 million compared to a net loss of $60.0 million for the same period in 2004. These results include the operating results from the Union and Gila River power stations through the end of May 2005 and the $76.5
million gain recorded upon the final disposition of the plants in the second quarter. Discontinued operations also include results for the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station until its sale in April 2005.



On Jan. 26, 2005, the Union and Gila River project companies filed a
pre-negotiated Chapter 11 case in Arizona, and at the time of the filing the project companies stopped recording the interest expense associated with the non-recourse project debt. The after-tax loss from discontinued operations was approximately
$28.8 million lower than it would otherwise have been in the year-to-date period due to this change. Discontinued operations for the 2004 periods include the results from the Frontera and Commonwealth Chesapeake power stations and the results from
the energy services businesses that have also been sold, as well as the Union and Gila River power stations, including the interest on the non-recourse debt.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



Cash and Liquidity



TECO Energys consolidated cash and cash equivalents, excluding all restricted cash, totaled $354.3 million at Sep. 30, 2005. Restricted cash of
$57.4 million includes $50.0 million held in escrow until the end of 2007 related to the sale of a 49 percent interest in the synthetic coal production facilities. Cash at Sep. 30, 2005 excludes the San José and Alborada power stations
unrestricted cash balances of $22.0 million and restricted cash of $8.2 million, as these companies were deconsolidated due to the adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN 46R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, effective Jan.
1, 2004.



In addition, at Sep. 30, 2005, aggregate availability
under bank credit facilities was $590.7 million, net of letters of credit of $14.3 million outstanding under these facilities and $20 million drawn on Tampa Electric Companys credit facilities. At the end of the quarter, total liquidity,
including cash plus credit facilities, was $967.0 million, which included $423.9 million at Tampa Electric Company, consisting of $405.0 million of undrawn credit facilities and $18.9 million of cash.



TECO Energy parent had total liquidity of $497.4 million at Sep. 30, 2005,
consisting of $311.7 million of cash and $185.7 million of availability under its credit facilities.



Consolidated cash flow from operations for the third quarter included $77.7 million of proceeds from the sale of SO2emissions allowances by Tampa Electric, which partially offsets the cumulative under-recovery of fuel expense caused by rising natural gas prices in
2005. Also during the quarter, TECO Energy made a $17.3 million contribution to its defined benefit pension plan for the 2004 plan year and expects to make a $6.3 million contribution in January 2006 for the 2005 plan year.



Other sources of cash in the third quarter of 2005 were $52.9 million of
proceeds from third party investors for synfuel production. There was no reduction in proceeds due to oil price limitations on Section 29 tax credits in the third quarter (see the Commodity Risk section). In addition, $75 million of
gross proceeds were received from the sale of the Dell Power Station. Cash used in financing activities included dividends of $39.5 million on TECO Energy common stock. Capital expenditures for the quarter were $71.5 million.



See the 2005 Outlook-Cash Flow section below for a discussion of the
components of TECO Energys expected cash flow from operations and net cash generation in 2005 and the Commodity Risk section for a discussion of how high oil prices in 2006-2007 could impact the companys cash and liquidity.



Financing Activities



On Jan. 14, 2005, the final settlement rate for TECO Energys then
outstanding 7,208,927 equity security units that were not tendered in the early settlement offer completed in August 2004 was set. On Jan. 18, 2005, each holder of the TECO Energy units purchased from TECO Energy 0.9509 shares of TECO Energy common
stock per unit for $25 per share. The cash for the unit holders purchase obligation was satisfied from the proceeds received upon the maturity of a portfolio of U.S. Treasury securities acquired in connection with the October 2004 remarketing
of the trust preferred securities of TECO Capital Trust II. As a result, TECO Energy issued 6.85 million shares of common stock on Jan. 18, 2005 and received approximately $180 million of proceeds from the settlement.

On May 26, 2005, TECO Energy completed an institutional private placement of $200 million aggregate
principal amount of 6.75% Notes due 2015, which produced net proceeds to the company of approximately $198.2 million. The company may redeem all or any part of the 6.75% Notes at its option at any time and from time to time at a redemption price
equal to the sum of (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed or
(B) the net present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the 6.75% Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 50 basis points.



Also on that date, as part of TECO Energys debt redemption and
refinancing plan, TECO Energy called for redemption of all $380 million aggregate principal amount of its 10.5% Notes due 2007. The company completed the redemption on Jun. 27, 2005 utilizing the proceeds from the 6.75% Note placement and available
cash on hand at a redemption price of 114.3% of the principal amount plus unpaid and accrued interest to the date of redemption. The total aggregate redemption price was approximately $437.2 million, including approximately $2.9 million of accrued
interest. The company recorded pretax debt-extinguishment charges in the second quarter totaling $71.5 million ($45.0 million after tax), consisting of the $54.4 million make-whole cash premium paid in the redemption and a $17.1 million non-cash
charge for unamortized discount and debt issuance fees.



On
Jun. 7, 2005, TECO Energy completed an institutional private placement of $100 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Notes due 2010, which resulted in net proceeds to the company of approximately $99.1 million. The Floating Rate Notes
mature on May 1, 2010 and bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR, as defined in the applicable indenture, plus 2.0% per annum. The company may redeem all or any part of Floating Rate Notes at its option at any time before May 1, 2007,
at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date on the principal amount of the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) the greater of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the
Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed, or (B) the net present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the Floating Rate Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture),
plus 50 basis points. TECO Energy may redeem the Floating Rate Notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 1, 2007, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a premium declining ratably to par, plus accrued
and unpaid interest.



On Sep. 15, 2005, TECO Energy commenced
an offer to exchange $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2015, that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) (new 6.75% notes), for all of the outstanding 6.75% notes due 2015,
issued in May 2005, as discussed above (old 6.75% notes), and $100 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due 2010, that similarly have been registered (new floating rate notes), for all of the outstanding
floating rate notes due 2010, issued in June 2005, as discussed above (old floating rate notes). The offer to exchange was conducted to satisfy the companys obligations under the registration rights agreements entered into in
connection with the private placements of the old notes. The terms of the new 6.75% notes and the new floating rate notes to be issued in the exchange offer were substantially similar to the terms of the old 6.75% notes and the old floating rate
notes, respectively, except that the new notes are registered under the Securities Act and have no transfer restrictions, rights to additional payments or registration rights except in limited circumstances. The exchange offer expired at 5:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on Oct. 14, 2005. On Oct. 17, 2005, TECO Energy completed the exchange of all of its $200 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% notes due 2015 and $100 million of floating rate notes due 2010, for new 6.75% notes due 2015
and new floating rate notes due 2010, respectively, that have been registered under the Securities Act.



Bank Credit Facilities



On Oct. 11, 2005, TECO Energy amended its $200 million bank credit facility. The amendment extends the maturity date of the credit facility to Oct. 11, 2010 (subject to extension with the consent of each lender); allows TECO Energy to
borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the federal funds rate, as defined in the agreement, plus a margin, as well as a rate equal to either the London interbank deposit rate plus a margin or JPMorgan Chase Banks prime rate (or the federal
funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) plus a margin; and allows TECO Energy to request the lenders to increase their commitments under the credit facility by up to $50 million. The financial covenants were also amended to increase the
permissible consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, for various periods after Dec. 30, 2005 and decrease the permissible consolidated leverage ratio for periods ending on or after Jan. 1, 2010.



On Oct. 11, 2005, Tampa Electric amended its $150 million 3-year bank credit
facility and terminated its $125 million 3-year Revolving Credit Agreement, entering into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with several lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Facility increases the total commitment under the facility to
$325 million; extends the maturity date of the credit facility to Oct. 11, 2010 (subject to extension with the consent of each lender); allows Tampa Electric to borrow funds at an interest rate equal to the federal funds rate, as defined in the
agreement, plus a margin, as well as a rate equal to either the London interbank deposit rate plus a margin or Citibanks prime rate (or the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, if higher) plus a margin; allows Tampa Electric to request the
lenders to increase their commitments under the credit facility by up to $50 million; and includes a $50 million letter of credit facility. The financial covenants were also amended to eliminate the requirement that Tampa Electric maintain a
specified ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest, as defined in the agreement, and increase the permissible quarter-end debt-to-capital, as defined in the agreement, to 65%.

2005 Outlook



Earnings



TECO Energy is raising its estimate for 2005 per share results from continuing operations, excluding charges and gains, to a range of $1.15 to $1.20.
This range excludes both the direct costs associated with Hurricane Katrina restoration and any insurance recoveries that might occur to offset these direct costs at TECO Transport. These forecasted results are based on the companys current
expectations and assumptions for the remainder of the year, including those described below, which are subject to risks and uncertainties.



Tampa Electric expects continued strong customer growth of about 2.5% and slightly higher energy sales growth, assuming normal weather for the remainder
of the year. Peoples Gas expects customer growth of about 4% in 2005. Operations and maintenance expenses at the utilities are expected to increase at about the level of inflation for the full year compared to 2004. The after-tax impact of the
disallowance of Tampa Electrics recovery of a portion of its waterborne fuel transportation costs is expected to be in the range of $9 million to $10 million for the full year.



Results at TECO Coal are expected to improve due to fourth quarter with coal prices being more than 50% higher than 2004,
partially offset by slightly higher production costs than 2004s fourth quarter. TECO Coal expects full-year production costs to be more than 12% higher than 2004 levels. The forecast assumes that TECO Coal will benefit from continued strong
earnings and cash flow from the sale of 98% of the ownership of its synfuel facilities to third parties. These estimates of earnings and cash flow assume no material reduction in Section 29 tax credits due to limitations that could result from
oil prices exceeding the average reference price for the full year (see the Dissclosures About Market Risk - Commodity Risk section). The company estimates that as of Sep. 30, 2005, oil prices, as quoted on NYMEX, would have to average more
than $66 per barrel for the remainder of 2005 before any limitation would be effective for this year.



TECO Transport anticipates continued robust river market pricing as a result of disruptions in river barge availability throughout the industry following
Hurricane Katrina, further supporting an already good balance of supply and demand for river barges. The company also expects two of its oceangoing vessels to benefit from tax law changes that reduce taxes on income earned by U.S. flag vessels in
international trade and forecasts continued good operating efficiencies for both the oceangoing and river barge operations.



TECO Guatemala expects to continue to provide strong earnings and cash flow and now expects to exceed the $35 million of net income previously forecasted
for the year.



Cash Flow



If natural gas prices continue at or near the levels experienced in the
third quarter through year-end, Tampa Electric expects its 2005 net under-recovery balance for its fuel and environmental cost recovery clauses to be $125 million by year end due to significantly higher natural gas prices. The gas prices, higher
than the July forecast, are a result of the impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita on Gulf of Mexico gas production facilities. This amount includes under-recovery of fuel net of $78 million in proceeds from the sale of SO2emissions credits, over 95% of which flow through the companys Environmental Cost Recovery Clause.



This under-recovery is approximately $90 million higher than previously
forecasted. As a result, TECO Energy currently forecasts 2005 consolidated cash flow from operations in a range of $150 to $200 million. This forecast includes the cash make-whole premium paid to redeem the 10.5% notes in June, improved operating
company results, and the current forecasted under-recovery at Tampa Electric.



In 2005, net cash generation at TECO Energy parent is now expected in a range of $150 million to $200 million with an expected range of $150 million to $200 million for TECO Energy consolidated. The change in parent
cash generation is a result of lower tax payments by Tampa Electric directly related to the under-recovery of fuel driven by current gas price expectations of $11 per million Btu compared to $8 per million Btu forecast in July. The tax payments to
TECO Energy parent are expected to be recovered on the same schedule as the under-recovered fuel costs at Tampa Electric. Capital expenditures are estimated to remain about $300 million in addition to the $31.8 million paid to the lenders upon the
final transfer of the Union and Gila River power stations. Expected net cash generation also reflects the proceeds from the final settlement of the adjustable conversion-rate equity security units, the cash proceeds from the third-party investors
for synfuel production, the proceeds from the sale of the Commonwealth Chesapeake and Dell power stations, the issuance of $300 million of long-term debt, and the redemption of $380 million of long-term debt. The forecast also assumes the planned
retirement of half of the $200 million of 8.5% trust preferred securities in December 2005 and the payment of common stock dividends at current levels.



The company does not expect to require additional capital from external sources to meet cash needs in 2005, except for Tampa Electrics short-term
borrowings under its credit facilities for its needs.

Disclosures About Market Risk



Interest Rate Risk



We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. We may enter into futures, swaps and option contracts, in
accordance with the approved risk management policies and procedures, to moderate this exposure to interest rate changes and achieve a desired level of fixed and variable rate debt. As of Sep. 30, 2005 there was no significant change in our exposure
to interest rate risk since Dec. 31, 2004.



Credit Risk



As of Jun. 1, 2005, with the sale and transfer of ownership of the Union and
Gila River power projects to the project lenders, TECO Energy has substantially exited the merchant power business. Our credit risk exposure has been reduced as a result of that exit.



Commodity Risk



We face varying degrees of exposure to commodity risksincluding coal, natural gas, fuel oil and other energy commodity prices. Any changes in prices
could affect the prices these businesses charge, their operating costs and the competitive position of their products and services. We assess and monitor risk using a variety of measurement tools based on the degree of exposure of each operating
company to commodity risk. The following is an update as of Sep. 30, 2005, to our assessment of commodity risk exposure at Dec. 31, 2004.



As of Jun. 1, 2005, with the sale and transfer of ownership of the Union and Gila River power projects to the project lenders, TECO Energy has
substantially exited the merchant power business. The TWG Merchant business segment no longer owns any operating merchant power plants. Accordingly, our exposure to changes in the market prices for electricity and natural gas has been reduced.



As previously reported, TECO Coal is indirectly exposed to
changes in the price of crude oil. Under the rules governing Section 29 tax credits, those credits can be phased out in the event that the price of crude oil (as defined by a government price survey) reaches a certain threshold. In the event of
a phase out, the proceeds TECO Coal receives from third parties having ownership interests in its synfuel production facilities would be reduced. We expect these proceeds to be approximately $200 million annually in 2005 through 2007, when the
Section 29 tax credits expire. The benchmark crude oil prices corresponding to the beginning and end of the tax credit phase-out are estimated for 2005 to be $52 and $65 per barrel, respectively, which we estimate to be equivalent to $57 and
$70 per barrel on NYMEX . As of Sep. 30, 2005, we estimated that the NYMEX price for the remainder of 2005 would have to average more than $66 per barrel before the beginning point in the phase-out range would be reached and $119 per barrel before
the credit would be fully phased out. To hedge this risk, we have entered into a series of derivative transactions that remove approximately one-third of our exposure for 2005. Our goal is to economically hedge about $100 million per year of the
2006 and 2007 synfuel proceeds risk exposure, if economical to do so. As of October 2005, the company has economically hedged approximately $20 million of this exposure for 2006.
