COMBINED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)



NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION



Allegheny Energy, Inc. (AE) together with its consolidated subsidiaries (Allegheny) delayed
the filing of its various reports including the annual report on Form 10-K for 2002 and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2002 and the first, second, and third quarters of 2003, with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), as the result of a comprehensive accounting review of its financial processes, records, and internal controls. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements of Allegheny Energy, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries,
should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on the combined Form 10-K of Allegheny Energy, Inc.; Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC; Monongahela Power Company; The Potomac Edison Company; West Penn Power Company; and Allegheny Generating
Company for the year ended December 31, 2002.



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



In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all normal
recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, and 2002; cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and 2002; and
financial position at September 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002. Because of the seasonal nature of Alleghenys utility operations at Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, are
not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For more information on the seasonal nature, see Part I, Item 1, Risk Factors, Other Risk Factors Associated with Our Business, in Alleghenys
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



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



Federal and State Income Taxes. The provision for income tax expense for earnings from operations and/or the income tax benefit for losses from operations results in an
effective income tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent, principally due to state income taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making and certain non-deductible expenses.



Stock-Based Employee Compensation. Allegheny maintains a stock-based employee compensation
plan, which is described in greater detail in Item 8, Note 18, Stock-Based Compensation, to the consolidated financial statements of Alleghenys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There were 1,210,000 stock options deemed granted in the period
from July 1, 2003 through September 30,

2003, in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Additionally, 1,500,000 stock options were deemed granted in the
period from April 1, 2003 through June 30, 2003 in accordance with SFAS No. 123. There were no stock options granted during the first quarter of 2003.



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

NOTE 2: DEBT COVENANTS AND
LIQUIDITY STRATEGY



Debt Covenants



In October 2002, Allegheny announced that AE, AE Supply, and AGC were in default under their
principal credit agreements after AE Supply declined to post additional collateral in favor of several trading counterparties. The requests for additional collateral resulted from a downgrade in Alleghenys credit rating below investment grade
by Moodys Investors Services, Inc. During the period November 2002 through February 2003, AE, AE Supply, and AGC obtained waivers of, and amended, certain covenants to these principal credit agreements. The total debt classified as current, in
accordance with EITF Issue No. 86-30, Classification of Obligations When a Violation is Waived by the Creditor, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to such defaults was approximately $4,888.4 million at September 30,
2003. See the discussion below concerning other defaults on additional long-term debt that also resulted in the classification of that debt as current.

Allegheny refinanced existing debt and issued new debt on February 25, 2003 and March 13, 2003, as the result of its
entry into the Borrowing Facilities, as described below. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for both Allegheny and AE Supply for additional
information regarding the Borrowing Facilities. Issuance costs associated with the Borrowing Facilities totaled $46.6 million, of which $46.3 million has been deferred and will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of
the Borrowing Facilities.



AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, and West Penn entered
into agreements (Borrowing Facilities) totaling $2,447.8 million with various credit providers to refinance and restructure the bulk of AE and AE Supplys short-term debt.



Following is a summary of the terms of the Borrowing Facilities:



|1. | Facilities at AE, Monongahela, and West Penn:
|-- | ---------------------------------------------



| |  | A $305.0 million unsecured facility with AE, Monongahela, and West Penn as the designated borrowers, and under which AE has utilized the full facility amount. Borrowings under this
facility bear interest at a London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) based rate plus a margin of five percent or a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of four percent. This facility requires quarterly amortization payments of
$7.5 million;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | A $25.0 million unsecured credit facility at AE. This facility had an interest rate of a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of four percent and was retired
in July 2003; and
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | A $10.0 million unsecured credit facility at Monongahela. On September 24, 2003, this facility was renegotiated as part of a $55 million revolving facility of which $53.6 million
was drawn. The remainder of the facility is no longer available. The interest on the facility is dependent upon the type of advance and consists of a base rate plus an applicable margin or a LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin. As of December
31, 2003, the LIBOR-based rate was approximately 4.63 percent. This facility matures in September 2004.
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | Facilities at AE Supply:
|-- | ------------------------



| |  | A $987.7 million credit facility (the Refinancing Credit Facility) at AE Supply, of which $893.4 million is secured by substantially all of the assets of AE Supply. Borrowings under
the facility bear initial interest at a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of five percent on the secured portion. The interest rate margin applicable to unsecured
borrowings under the facility is 10.5 percent. This facility requires amortization payments of approximately $23.6 million in September 2004, and $117.8 million in December 2004, and matures in April 2005;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



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



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

##### Table of Contents

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



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



| |  | fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.10 through the first quarter of 2005; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | maximum debt-to-capital ratio of 75 percent in 2003 and 72 percent in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  | minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the agreements, of $100.0 million by June 30, 2003, increasing to $304 million by
December 31, 2003, to $430.0 million in increments for the 12 months ending each quarter through the first quarter of 2005;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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



Effective July 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply were granted waivers from compliance with all of the above financial tests for the first
and second quarters of 2003. Effective August 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply received additional waivers of the financial tests for the third quarter of 2003. Effective December 22, 2003, Allegheny and AE Supply received additional waivers of
financial tests for the fourth quarter of 2003. During the third quarter of 2003, Allegheny paid $2.2 million to obtain these waivers.



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



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



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



| |  | 100 percent of the net proceeds of any sale of AE Supplys new facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 100 percent of the net proceeds of debt issuances (excluding specified exemptions, including an exemption of up to $50 million for the Distribution Companies and refinancings
meeting certain criteria);
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 100 percent of net proceeds from equity issuances;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------



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



| |  | 50 percent of AE Supplys excess cash flow (as defined in the Borrowing Facilities).
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

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



Substantially all of the
debt of AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC remains classified as current, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 86-30, Classification of Obligations When a Violation is Waived by the Creditor, as the result of
noncompliance with certain financial reporting covenants. Allegheny and AE Supply have obtained waivers of these covenants for each of the quarterly reporting periods through December 31, 2003. For the debt obligations at Monongahela, Potomac
Edison, West Penn, and AGC, the classification as current is the result of noncompliance with certain reporting requirements in their various indenture agreements. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants, to the consolidated financial statements in the
2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, and Item 8, Note 2, Debt Covenants, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for AGC for additional information regarding the
nature of these financial reporting covenant violations.



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



On September 29, 2003, Mountaineer obtained waivers with respect to its Note Purchase Agreements extending the respective agreements covenant due dates for its 2002 annual audited financial statements until
October 31, 2003. Also, Mountaineer has obtained waivers from its obligation to deliver unaudited financial statements to the noteholders for the first, second, and third quarters of 2003. Mountaineer provided its 2002 annual audited financial
statements to noteholders on October 31, 2003. Mountaineer provided its first quarter 2003 financial statements to the noteholders on December 30, 2003. Mountaineer is required to deliver the second and third quarter 2003 unaudited financial
statements to the noteholders by January 29, 2004.



Liquidity
Strategy



Allegheny has prepared its financial statements assuming that it
will continue as a going concern. However, Alleghenys noncompliance with certain of its reporting obligations under its debt covenants (described above) and the resultant classification of certain debt as current has caused its independent
auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, to issue a modified opinion on its 2002 financial statements contained within the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K that indicates there is substantial doubt about Alleghenys ability to continue as a going
concern (a Going Concern opinion). The 2002 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of this uncertainty.



Allegheny has adopted a long-term strategy of focusing on the core generation and T&D businesses in which it has been historically
engaged. Allegheny will seek, consistent with regulatory constraints, to manage its business lines as



36

##### Table of Contents

an integrated whole. Implementing this strategy will be a significant challenge, in part, because of the continuing legacy of past transactions that have
negatively affected Alleghenys operations and financial condition.



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



Private Placement:On July 24, 2003, Allegheny
obtained $291 million ($275 million after deducting various fees and placement agents commissions) from its issuance to a wholly-owned special purpose finance subsidiary of AE, Allegheny Capital Trust I (Capital Trust), of units consisting of
$300 million principal amount of 117/8percent Notes due 2008 and warrants for the purchase of up to 25 million
shares of AEs common stock, exercisable at $12 per share. The warrants are mandatorily exercisable if AEs common stock price equals or exceeds $15 per share over a specified averaging period occurring after June 15, 2006. The warrants
are stapled to the Notes and may be exercised only through the tender of the Notes. The finance subsidiary obtained proceeds required to purchase the units by issuing $300 million liquidation amount of its 117/8percent Mandatorily-Convertible Trust Preferred Securities to investors in a private placement. The holder of a
preferred security is entitled to distributions on a corresponding principal amount of Notes and may direct the exercise of warrants stapled to the Notes in order to convert the preferred securities into AE common stock. AE fully and unconditionally
guarantees Capital Trusts payment obligations under the preferred securities. Alleghenys consolidated balance sheets reflect the Notes as long-term debt. The Notes and AEs guarantee of Capital Trusts payment obligations are
subordinated only to indebtedness arising under the agreements governing certain of AEs indebtedness under the Borrowing Facilities, and may be subordinated to indebtedness incurred to refinance such indebtedness.



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



Renegotiation
and Sale of CDWR Contract. In June 2003, AE Supply entered into a settlement agreement with the State of California to resolve the states litigation regarding its power supply contracts with the CDWR. The terms of the settlement reduced the
volume of power to be delivered from 2005-2011 and reduced the sale price of off-peak power to be delivered from 2004-2011, which in turn substantially reduced the value of the contract. (See Item 8, Notes 26 and 23, Commitments and Contingencies,
of AEs and AE Supplys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, respectively, under Other Litigation-Settlement of Litigation Related to Power Supply Contracts with the CDWR for additional information.) On September 15, 2003,
Allegheny closed the sale of the CDWR contract and associated hedge transactions, to J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., for approximately $354 million. Allegheny has applied $214 million of the sale proceeds to
required payments under agreements entered into to terminate



37

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



In September 2003, AE Supply exited the Western United States energy trading markets, including all related contracts and hedge agreements. As a result, Allegheny
recorded a net loss of approximately $101.6 million and $520 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. This loss is recorded as a component of net revenues in the consolidated statements of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. This loss was determined without including the approximately $71 million of sale proceeds that were placed in escrow pending Alleghenys fulfillment of certain post-closing requirements.



Refocusing Trading Activities: Adoption of Asset-Based Trading
Strategy. AE Supply is reorienting its trading operations from high-volume financial



38



---

##### Table of Contents

trading in national markets to asset optimization and hedging within its region. AE Supply implemented this rebalancing by exiting the Western United States
energy markets, together with unwinding other substantial non asset-based trading positions, which has enabled AE Supply to reduce its long-term trading-related cash outflows and collateral obligations. AE Supply is seeking to concentrate its
efforts in the PJM, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic markets where it has a physical presence and greater market knowledge. Ultimately, AE Supply intends to conduct asset optimization and hedging activities with the primary objective of locking in cash
flows associated with AE Supplys portfolio of core physical generating and load positions.



As part of refocusing its activities, AE Supply moved its energy marketing operations from New York to Monroeville, Pennsylvania in May 2003. This transition resulted in ongoing cost savings and improved integration
with AE Supplys generation activity. The reduced staffing levels reflect the newly revised focus of the trading function. Management believes that both trading and marketing and generation operations can be enhanced by locating trading
personnel closer to personnel managing AE Supplys generating assets. Personnel involved in the separate functions can be cross-trained and will be better positioned to enhance the relationship between the two functions.



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



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



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



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



Middle Cheat River Canyon. In July 2003, West Penn,
through its subsidiary, The West Virginia Power & Transmission Company, completed the sale of approximately 5,600 acres of land in Preston County, West Virginia to Allegheny Wood Products, Inc. for a net sales price of $9.6 million.

##### Table of Contents

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



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



Restructuring of Operations. As fully described in Note 6, Workforce Reduction Expenses,
below, in July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan intended to strengthen its financial performance by, among other things, reducing its workforce. Allegheny has achieved workforce reductions of more than ten percent through a voluntary
Early Retirement Option (ERO) program and selected staff reductions. In 2002, approximately 600 eligible employees accepted the ERO program resulting in a charge of $82.6 million, before income taxes. Allegheny will continue to take actions intended
to reduce costs and improve productivity in all of its operations.



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



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



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



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



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



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

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



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



Other Matters Concerning Liquidity and Capital Requirements: Alleghenys
wholesale marketing, energy trading, fuel procurement, and risk management activities require direct and indirect credit support. The amount of credit support required is affected by market price changes for electricity, natural gas, and other
energy-related commodities and Alleghenys credit rating. Such credit support might be in the form of letters of credit, cash deposits, or liquid securities.



For 2002 and 2003, Alleghenys cash flows were adequate to meet all of its payment obligations and to fund capital expenditures.
Allegheny expects that cash flows from operations will not be sufficient in 2004 to cover future obligations, including capital expenditure requirements. Allegheny expects that it will need to arrange for alternative financing or sell certain assets
in order to repay the principal amounts under the Borrowing Facilities scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2004.



Allegheny continues to seek to refinance the outstanding debt of AE and AE Supply with banks and other financial institutions and has filed an application with the SEC
for approval for the refinancing. There is no assurance that SEC approval will be obtained or, if the approval is obtained, that AE and AE Supply will be able to refinance their indebtedness on satisfactory terms or at all.



NOTE 3: ENERGY TRADING ACTIVITIES



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



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

The netting of gains and losses of trading revenues under EITF 02-3 with associated costs can result in negative revenue
amounts. For the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, AE Supply reported $45.4 million and $321.8 million in losses from wholesale operating revenues, respectively. These amounts are a component of, and reported as, operating revenues in
AE Supplys consolidated statements of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, AE Supply reported $451.0 million and $210.8 million, respectively, in losses from wholesale operating revenues.



The net fair value of AE Supplys commodity contracts decreased by $509.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as a result of $499.1 million of unrealized losses recorded during the first nine months of 2003 which are comprised of changes in market conditions ($159.9 million), the renegotiation of CDWR contract terms
($152.2 million), the sale of energy trading portfolios and contracts ($167.3 million), the cumulative effect of the adoption of EITF 02-3 ($19.7 million), and option premium expirations of ($10.1 million) during the first nine months of 2003. There
has been, and may continue to be, significant volatility in the market prices for electricity and natural gas at the wholesale level, which will affect AE Supplys operating results.



NOTE 4: ASSETS HELD FOR SALE



AE Supply had the following assets held for sale at September 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002:



|(In millions)                                  |  | September 30, 2003 |   | December 31, 2002

In September 2002, AE Supply cancelled
the planned construction of a 79 MW barge-mounted generation project. As a result of AE Supplys decision to sell the turbine/generator set that was acquired for this project, the investment in the turbine/generator set was classified as an
asset held for sale and written down to its estimated fair value in the third quarter of 2002. The sale of the turbine/generator set was completed in August 2003 at its book value of $8.0 million.



In February 2003, a subsidiary of AE Supply entered into an agreement to sell its 83 MW share
of the coal-fired Conemaugh Generating Station (Conemaugh) to UGI Development Company (UGI) for approximately $46.3 million. As a result, AE Supply has written down its investment in Conemaugh to approximately $45.8 million, which represents the
agreed upon sales price less estimated costs to sell the asset. This write-down resulted in a loss of approximately $28.5 million, before income taxes, which was recorded in operation expense on the consolidated statements of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. In June 2003, the agreement was modified to include $5.0 million for contingent consideration, bringing the total purchase price to $51.3 million. The loss above does not include any amounts of contingent
consideration. The sale of Conemaugh was completed in June 2003.



AE
Supplys assets held for sale are included in Alleghenys Generation and Marketing segment.

Amortization of other intangible
assets was $0.4 million and $5.4 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and $1.1 million and $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2003, the $1.1 million of amortization was comprised primarily of $0.5 million for Potomac Edison, $0.3 million for West Penn, and $0.2 million for Monongahela. Amortization for 2003 does not include amortization for Alliance Energy
Services, which was sold on December 31, 2002. Amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 related to Alliance Energy Services was $5.0 million and $25.8 million, respectively.



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



NOTE 6: WORKFORCE REDUCTION EXPENSES



In July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan to strengthen its financial
performance. The restructuring activities included a company-wide workforce reduction and a reorganization of Alleghenys energy trading division.



Allegheny has achieved workforce reductions of approximately ten percent,most of which occurred in 2002, primarily through a voluntary early retirement option
(ERO) program and selected staff reductions. The ERO program offered enhanced pension and medical benefits and required eligible employees to make an election by September 16, 2002. The costs for the workforce reduction under the ERO program were
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions. For the year ended December 31, 2002, approximately 600 eligible employees accepted the ERO program, resulting in a charge of $82.6 million, before income taxes ($49.5 million, net of income taxes). Allegheny also
offered a Staffing Reduction Separation Program (SRSP) for employees whose positions were being eliminated as part of the workforce reductions and severance for certain energy trading employees. The severance and other employee-related

##### Table of Contents

costs have been accounted for in accordance with EITF 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an
Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). For the year ended December 31, 2002, Allegheny recorded a charge of $25.0 million, before income taxes ($15.3 million, net of income taxes), related to approximately 80 employees
whose positions had been eliminated. Workforce reduction costs have been recorded in Workforce reduction expenses on the consolidated statements of operations.



Of the total pre-tax workforce reduction expenses of $107.6 million recorded in 2002, $104.2 million, before income taxes, was recorded
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002. Of the $104.2 million in charges incurred, approximately $10 million was paid out during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, and approximately $82.6 million was recorded as a
pension and postretirement benefit liability in Alleghenys consolidated balance sheets and approximately $8.0 million was recorded as an other current liability at September 30, 2002. A majority of the $8.0 million was owed by AE Supply. As of
September 30, 2003, there were no amounts remaining as accrued liabilities. There were no workforce reduction expenses recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. For additional information see the Restructuring Charges and
Workforce Reduction Expenses notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 8, Note 8 for AE and AE Supply) and the Workforce Reduction Expenses notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002
Annual Report on Form 10-K (Item 8, Note 6 for Monongahela, Note 4 for Potomac Edison and West Penn, and Note 3 for AGC).



NOTE 7: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES



Allegheny utilizes derivative instruments to manage its exposures to various market risks as described in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following information
supplements, and should be read in conjunction with, Item 8, Note 4, Energy Trading Activities, and Note 9, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the consolidated financial statements in Alleghenys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Allegheny did not have any
instruments that were designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. AE Supply records commodity contracts related to energy trading that are derivative instruments at their fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 133. See Note 3, Energy Trading
Activities, above.

NOTE 13: ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS



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



Allegheny recorded retirement obligations primarily related to ash landfills, underground and aboveground storage tanks, and natural gas wells. Allegheny also has identified a number of retirement obligations
associated with certain other assets that have not been recorded, because the fair value of such obligations cannot be reasonably estimated, due primarily to the indeterminate lives of the assets.



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

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



During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, Alleghenys ARO balance increased $2.1 million from $19.7 million at January 1, 2003, to $21.8 million at September
30, 2003. This increase, of which $1.6 million related to AE Supply, was due to accretion expense.



Alleghenys regulated utility subsidiaries have recorded in accumulated depreciation the removal costs collected from customers related to assets

that do not have associated retirement obligations under SFAS No. 143. These estimated removal costs, which represent a
regulatory liability (asset) and remain in accumulated depreciation, were as follows at September 30, 2003: $227.9 million for Monongahela, $153.8 million for Potomac Edison, and ($6.1) million for West Penn, which totaled $375.6 million. Total
estimated removal costs included in Alleghenys accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2002, were $356.5 million.



Had the provisions of SFAS No. 143 been adopted on January 1, 2002, there would not be a material impact on Alleghenys consolidated net loss before cumulative
effect of accounting changes, consolidated net loss, or loss per share for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002.



NOTE 14: GUARANTEES



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



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



In September 2003, a subsidiary of AE Supply sold the
CDWR contract and related liabilities to J. Aron & Company. In connection with this sale, the subsidiary of AE Supply provided an indemnification to J. Aron & Company for ten lawsuits with respect to the power crisis in California, to which
AE Supply, or its subsidiary, were a party. AE Supply applied a discounted probability weighted average cash flow approach to the maximum potential liability under this indemnification to determine the value associated with this indemnification. As
a result, AE Supply recorded a liability of $2.7 million associated with this indemnification on its consolidated balance sheets, and accordingly, increased the loss on the sale of the CDWR contract and related liabilities. This loss is included as
a component of net revenues in the consolidated results of operations.



At
September 30, 2003, Allegheny has provided guarantees, either directly or indirectly, of $92.5 million for contractual obligations of affiliated companies, as discussed by major category below. This does not include letters of credit. Under the
terms of the guarantees, Allegheny would be required to perform should an affiliate be in default of its obligation, generally for an amount not to exceed the amount disclosed. The term of these guarantees coincides with the term of the underlying
agreement. There are no amounts being carried as liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets for Alleghenys obligations under these guarantees.



Of the guarantees provided to third parties, approximately $46.4 million relate to guarantees associated with the purchase, sale, exchange, or transportation of wholesale
natural gas, electric power, and related services. Allegheny provided loan guarantees of $41.6 million to third parties for loans and other financing related guarantees. Allegheny provided a guarantee of $4.5 million to a third party pursuant to a
lease agreement that was signed in 2001.

NOTE 15: VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES



There has been no change with respect to Alleghenys initial assessment of the potential effect of applying FIN 46. See Item 8, Notes
26, 23, 23, 18, and 16, Commitments and Contingencies, for AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There has been no material impact
during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 from the adoption of FIN 46. Allegheny continues to evaluate the potential effect of FIN 46. In December 2003, FIN 46(R) was issued, which delays, until the period ending March 31, 2004, the
application of the provisions of FIN 46 for variable interest entities created prior to January 31, 2003.



NOTE 16: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES



Environmental Matters and Litigation



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



Clean Air Act and CAAA Matters: In 1998, the
EPA finalized its Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) State Implementation Plan (SIP) call rule (known as the NOx SIP call) to address the regional transport of ground-level ozone that requires the equivalent of a uniform 0.15 lb/mmBtu emission rate throughout a
22-state region, including Maryland, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, beginning in May 2003. Alleghenys compliance with such stringent regulations has required and will require the installation of expensive post-combustion control technologies
on most of its power stations. During 2000, Pennsylvania and Maryland promulgated final rules to implement the EPAs NOx SIP call requirements, beginning in May 2003. During 2001, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection issued
a final rule to implement the EPAs NOx SIP call requirements, beginning in May 2004. The EPA approved the West Virginia SIP in July of 2002. The EPAs NOx SIP call had been subject to litigation but, in 2000, the D.C. Circuit Court of
Appeals issued a decision that upheld the regulation. The court issued a subsequent order that postponed the initial compliance date of the NOx SIP call from May 2003 to May 2004. Maryland and Pennsylvania did not delay the May 2003 implementation
dates of their respective SIP, nor are they legally required to do so. AE Supply and Monongahela are in the process of installing NOx controls to meet the Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia SIP. AE Supply and Monongahela also have the option
to purchase, in some cases, alternate fuels, NOx allowances, or power on the market, if needed, to supplement their compliance strategy. AE Supply and Monongahela expect to be in compliance with NOx limits established by the SIP. Alleghenys
construction forecast includes the expenditure of $34.3 million of capital costs during the 2003 through 2004 period for NOx emission controls.



In August 2000, AE received a letter from the EPA requesting that it provide information and documentation relevant to the operation and maintenance of the following ten
electric generating stations, collectively including 22 generating units: Albright, Armstrong, Fort Martin, Harrison, Hatfields Ferry, Mitchell, Pleasants, Rivesville, R. Paul Smith, and Willow Island. AE



52

##### Table of Contents

Supply and Monongahela own these electric generating stations. The letter requested information under Section 114 of the
Clean Air Act to determine compliance with the Clean Air Act and related requirements, including potential application of the new source review standards, which can require the installation of additional air pollution control equipment upon the
major modification of an existing facility. Responsive submissions were made during 2000 and 2001. In July 2002, AE received a follow-up letter from the EPA requesting clarifying information. AE has provided responsive information.



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



At this time, AE is not able to
determine what effect the EPAs inquiry may have on its operations. If new source review standards are applied to Alleghenys generating stations, in addition to the possible imposition of fines, compliance would entail significant
expenditures. However, the recent preliminary judicial decision in the EPA vs. Duke Energy case, as well as the final Routine Maintenance, Repair, and Replacement Rule (RMRR) recently released by the EPA, are more consistent with the energy
industrys historical compliance approach. On December 24, 2003, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an order to stay the RMRR. The rule was scheduled to go into effect on December 26, 2003. The stay delays
implementation of the rule until the case is decided. No assurance can be given that the RMRR will eventually be upheld by the courts. Therefore, at this time, AE and its subsidiaries are not able to determine the effect these actions may have on
them with regard to compliance costs.



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



Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) Claim: On March 4, 1994, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn (the Distribution Companies) received notice
that the EPA had identified them as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) with respect to the Jacks Creek/Sitkin Smelting Superfund Site. Initially, approximately 175 PRPs were involved, however, the current number of active PRPs is reduced
as a result

of settlements with de minimis contributors and other contributors to the site. The costs of remediation will be shared
by all past and active responsible parties. In 1999, a PRP group that included the Distribution Companies entered into a consent order with the EPA to remediate the site. It is currently estimated that the total remediation costs to be borne by all
of the responsible parties will not exceed $30.0 million. However, Allegheny estimates that its share of the cleanup liability will not exceed $1.0 million, which has been accrued as a liability.



Claims Related to Alleged Asbestos Exposure: Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and
West Penn have also been named as defendants along with multiple other defendants in pending asbestos cases involving multiple plaintiffs. While Allegheny believes that all of the cases are without merit, Allegheny cannot predict the outcome of the
litigation. Allegheny has accrued a reserve of $4.0 million as of September 30, 2003, related to the asbestos cases as the potential cost to settle the cases to avoid the anticipated cost of defense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
Allegheny received insurance recoveries of $0.6 million related to these asbestos cases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Allegheny received insurance recoveries of $2.4 million, net of $0.5 million of legal fees, related to these
asbestos cases.



In December of 2003 there were 5,624 cases that were open. On
December 19, 2003, Allegheny settled and/or dismissed 4,314 of these cases; however, the final dismissal order from the court was received in January 2004. These settlements and/or dismissals did not result in a material change to the accrued
contingent reserve. Effectively, as of December 31, 2003, Allegheny had 1,310 open cases remaining.



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



Other Litigation



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



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



54

##### Table of Contents

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



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



Sierra/Nevada: On April 2, 2003, NPC and Sierra Pacific Resources, Inc. (together Sierra/Nevada) initiated a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Nevada
against AE and AE Supply, together with Merrill Lynch & Co. and Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. (together, Merrill). The complaint alleged that AE and AE Supply and Merrill engaged in fraudulent conduct in connection with NPCs
application to the Public Utilities Commission of Nevada (Nevada PUC) for a deferred energy accounting adjustment, which allegedly caused the Nevada PUC to disallow $180.0 million of NPCs deferred energy expenses. Sierra/Nevada asserted three
causes of action against AE and AE Supply arising from the alleged fraudulent conduct. These include: (1) tortious interference with Sierra/Nevadas contractual and prospective economic advantages, (2) conspiracy, and (3) violations of the
Nevada state Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act. Sierra/Nevada filed an amended complaint on May 30, 2003 in which it asserted a fourth cause of action against AE and AE Supply for wrongful hiring and supervision. Sierra/Nevada
seeks $180.0 million in compensatory damages plus attorneys fees. Under the RICO count, Sierra/Nevada seeks in excess of $850.0 million.



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



Settlement of Litigation Related to Power Supply Contracts with the CDWR: In March and April 2001, AE Supply entered into ten-year and one-year power sales
agreements, pursuant to a master power purchase and sale agreement (together, the CDWR contracts) with the CDWR, the electricity buyer for the State of California. The CDWR contracts constituted one of Alleghenys key assets. In February 2002,
the California Public Utilities Commission (California PUC) and the California Electricity Oversight Board (CAEOB) filed complaints with the FERC seeking to abrogate or modify the contracts. In



55

##### Table of Contents

January 2003, the CDWR filed a lawsuit in California Superior Court alleging that AE Supply breached the contracts and
seeking a judicial determination that the contracts were terminated along with monetary damages.



On June 10, 2003, AE Supply and CDWR, together with other State entities, including the California PUC and CAEOB, entered into a settlement agreement with renegotiated terms and conditions of the CDWR contract. The
settlement reduces the off-peak power prices payable by CDWR under the ten-year contract from $61 per MWh from 2004 to 2011 to $60 in 2004, $59 in 2005, and $58 in 2006 through 2011. The settlement terms also reduce the volume of power to be
purchased from 1,000 MW from 2005-2011 to 750 MW in 2005 and 800 MW from 2006 through 2011. The renegotiated contract also states that the parties waive all rights to challenge the validity of the agreement or whether it is just and reasonable for
its duration. These modifications reduced the value of the CDWR contract by approximately $152.0 million. The terms of the settlement also provide that the California PUC and CAEOB agree to drop their complaints against AE Supply at the FERC, and
CDWR and the California Attorney General agree to drop their lawsuit filed in California Superior Court. The parties agreed that all litigation will be withdrawn with prejudice.



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



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



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



The District Court separately granted plaintiffs motion to remand in the taxpayer action, Millar, on July 9, 2003. On December 18, 2003, plaintiffs filed a notice
of remand and a first amended complaint naming certain additional defendants including The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. in Superior

##### Table of Contents

Court, County of San Francisco. The first amended complaint was brought on behalf of consumers of wholesale electricity,
and not California taxpayers. AE Supply and the other defendants plan to file a demurrer.



AE Supply cannot predict the outcome of these matters.



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



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



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



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



Both the securities cases and the ERISA cases have been transferred to the District of Maryland for coordinated or consolidated pre-trial proceedings. The derivative action has been stayed pending the commencement of discovery in the
securities cases. AE has not yet answered the complaints. AE cannot predict the outcome of these matters.



Suits Related to Gleason Generating Facility: Allegheny Energy Supply Gleason Generating Facility, LLC, a subsidiary of AE Supply, is the defendant in a suit brought in the Circuit Court for Weakley
County, Tennessee, by residents living in the vicinity of the generating facility in Gleason,



57

##### Table of Contents

Tennessee. The original suit was filed on September 16, 2002. AE Supply purchased the peaking facility in 2001. The
plaintiffs are asserting claims based on trespass and/or nuisance, claiming personal injury and property damage as a result of noise from the generating facility during operation. They seek a restraining order with respect to the operation of the
plant and damages of $200 million. During a motions and preliminary matters hearing on October 14, 2003, the judge assigned this case to mediation. Furthermore, he ordered the mediation to conclude by July 1, 2004. AE has undertaken property
purchases and other mitigation measures. AE cannot predict the outcome of this suit.



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



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



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



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



On
October 23, 2002, AE filed a motion to stay Merrill Lynchs federal court action in favor of AE and AE Supplys action in New York state court. On May 29, 2003, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied
AEs motion to stay Merrill Lynchs action and ordered that AE and AE Supply assert its claims against Merrill Lynch, which were initially brought in New York state court as counterclaims in Merrill Lynchs federal court action. As a
result, AE and AE Supply dismissed its New York state action and, on June 13, 2003, AE and AE Supply filed an answer, affirmative defense and counterclaims against Merrill Lynch in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York. Much like AE and AE Supplys complaint in New York state court, the counterclaims allege that Merrill

##### Table of Contents

Lynch fraudulently induced AE and AE Supply to enter into the purchase agreement, that Merrill Lynch breached certain
representations and warranties contained in the purchase agreement, and that Merrill Lynch breached fiduciary duties owed to AE and AE Supply. The counterclaims seek damages in excess of $605 million, among other relief.



On August 29, 2003, AE and AE Supply filed amended counterclaims that, among other things,
added a claim against Merrill Lynch for negligent misrepresentation. Merrill Lynch moved to dismiss AE and AE Supplys counterclaims and to strike the request for a jury trial concerning certain of the counterclaims. AE and AE Supply opposed
Merrill Lynchs motion. On November 24, 2003, the Court granted in part and denied in part Merrills motion. The Court denied the motion to dismiss AE and AE Supplys counterclaims for fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach
of fiduciary duty, and punitive damages. The Court dismissed AE and AE Supplys counterclaim for rescission, which AE and AE Supply had agreed to dismiss, and struck their demand for a jury trial with respect to certain counterclaims. The
counterclaim for negligent misrepresentation was not subject to Merrills motion and remains in place. On December 9, 2003, Merrill Lynch served an answer denying the material allegations of AE and AE Supplys amended counterclaims and
also asserted various affirmative defenses. By Amended Pretrial Scheduling Order entered October 31, 2003, the case was added to the July 2004 trial calendar. On January 23, 2004, the Court granted a motion filed under seal by the U.S. Attorney for
the Southern District of New York to intervene and stay deposition discovery for approximately six months. Document discovery is continuing, and deposition discovery may proceed to the extent agreed by the U.S. Attorney. The case has been set for
trial on October 10, 2004. AE and AE Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.



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



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



NOTE 17: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



On November 3, 2003, there was a
fire in Unit No. 2 at Hatfields Ferry Power Station, located near Masontown, PA. Unit No. 2 is a 570 MW coal-powered generating unit. As a result of the fire, significant damage was sustained to the generator and turbine and certain associated
equipment. The unit is currently offline. Allegheny is assessing the steps needed to restore the unit to its previous nominal capacity and the timeframe in which restoration

inability to do so would have a material and adverse effect on Alleghenys results of operations and financial position.



The SEC has recently requested that AE voluntarily produce certain documents in connection with an informal investigation of AE. Many of these documents were previously
provided in response to subpoenas that AE received in 2002. AE intends to cooperate fully with the SEC.





ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)

significant customers and suppliers; the effect of accounting policies issued periodically by accounting standard-setting bodies; additional collateral

A
detailed discussion of certain factors affecting the risk profile of the registrants is provided under the caption Item 1, Risk Factors, in Alleghenys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.





LIQUIDITY STRATEGY



To meet cash needs for operating expenses,
the payment of interest, retirement of debt, and acquisitions and construction programs, AE and its subsidiaries have used internally generated funds (net cash provided by operating activities less common and preferred dividends) and external
financings, including the sale of common and preferred stock, debt instruments, installment loans, and lease arrangements. The timing and amount of external financings depend primarily upon economic and financial market conditions, Alleghenys
cash needs, and capital structure objectives of Allegheny. The availability and cost of external financings depend upon the financial condition of the companies seeking those funds and market conditions.



Debt Covenants



In October 2002, Allegheny announced that AE, AE Supply, and AGC were in default under their principal credit agreements after AE Supply
declined to post additional collateral in favor of several trading counterparties. The requests for additional collateral resulted from a downgrade in Alleghenys credit rating below investment grade by Moodys Investors Services, Inc.
During the period November 2002 through February 2003, AE, AE Supply, and AGC obtained waivers of, and amended, certain covenants to these principal credit agreements. The total debt classified as current, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 86-30,
Classification of Obligations When a Violation is Waived by the Creditor, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets related to such defaults was approximately $4,888.4 million at September 30, 2003. See the discussion below
concerning other defaults on additional long-term debt that also resulted in the classification of that debt as current.



Allegheny refinanced existing debt and issued new debt, on February 25, 2003, and March 13, 2003, as the result of its entry into the Borrowing Facilities, as described
below. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for both Allegheny and AE Supply for additional information regarding the Borrowing Facilities.
Issuance costs associated with the Borrowing Facilities totaled $46.6 million, of which $46.3 million has been deferred and will be amortized using the effective interest rate method over the life of the Borrowing Facilities.



AE, AE Supply, Monongahela, and West Penn entered into agreements (Borrowing Facilities)
totaling $2,447.8 million with various credit providers to refinance and restructure the bulk of AE and AE Supplys short-term debt.

##### Table of Contents

Following is a summary of the terms of the Borrowing Facilities:



1. Facilities at AE, Monongahela, and West Penn:



| |  | A $305.0 million unsecured facility with AE, Monongahela, and West Penn as the designated borrowers, and under which AE has utilized the full facility amount. Borrowings under this
facility bear interest at a London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) based rate plus a margin of five percent or a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of four percent. This facility requires quarterly amortization payments of
$7.5 million;
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | A $25.0 million unsecured credit facility at AE. This facility had an interest rate of a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of four percent and was retired
in July 2003; and
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | A $10.0 million unsecured credit facility at Monongahela. On September 24, 2003, this facility was renegotiated as part of a $55 million revolving facility of which $53.6 million
was drawn. The remainder of this facility is no longer available. The interest on the facility is dependent upon the type of advance and consists of a base rate plus an applicable margin or a LIBOR-based rate plus an applicable margin. As of
December 31, 2003, the LIBOR-based rate was approximately 4.63 percent. This facility matures in September 2004.
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



2. Facilities at AE Supply:



| |  | A $987.7 million credit facility (the Refinancing Credit Facility) at AE Supply, of which $893.4 million is secured by substantially all of the assets of AE Supply. Borrowings under
the facility bear initial interest at a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of five percent on the secured portion. The interest rate margin applicable to unsecured
borrowings under the facility is 10.5 percent. This facility requires amortization payments of approximately $23.6 million in September 2004, and $117.8 million in December 2004, and matures in April 2005;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | A $470.0 million credit facility, of which $420.0 million was drawn and $50.0 million is no longer committed. The facility is secured by substantially all of AE Supplys
assets. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a LIBOR-based rate plus a margin of six percent or a designated money center banks base rate plus a margin of five percent. In December 2002, $250.0 million of the facility was repaid.
This facility requires a final amortization payment of $170.0 million in September 2004; and
| | - | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



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

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



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



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



| |  | fixed-charge coverage ratio of 1.10 through the first quarter of 2005; and
| | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | maximum debt-to-capital ratio of 75 percent in 2003 and 72 percent in 2004 and the first quarter of 2005.
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



| |  | minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the agreements, of $100.0 million by June 30, 2003, increasing to $304 million by
December 31, 2003, to $430.0 million in increments for the 12 months ending each quarter through the first quarter of 2005;
| | - | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



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



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



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



| |  | 100 percent of the net proceeds of any sale of AE Supplys new facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania;
| | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 100 percent of the net proceeds of debt issuances (excluding specified exemptions, including an exemption of up to $50 million for the Distribution Companies and refinancings
meeting certain criteria);
| | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | 100 percent of net proceeds from equity issuances;
| | - | --------------------------------------------------



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



| |  | 50 percent of AE Supplys excess cash flow (as defined in the Borrowing Facilities).
| | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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



Substantially all of the debt of AE, AE Supply,
Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC remains classified as current, in accordance with EITF Issue No. 86-30, Classification of Obligations When a Violation is Waived by the Creditor, as the result of noncompliance with certain
financial reporting covenants. Allegheny and AE Supply have obtained waivers of these covenants for each of the quarterly reporting periods through December 31, 2003. For the debt obligations at Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC, the
classification as current is the result of noncompliance with certain reporting requirements in their various indenture agreements. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, and Item 8, Note 2, Debt Covenants, to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for AGC for additional information regarding the nature of these financial reporting
covenant violations.

##### Table of Contents

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



Liquidity Strategy



Allegheny has prepared its financial statements assuming that it will continue as a going
concern. However, Alleghenys noncompliance with certain of its reporting obligations under its debt covenants (described above) and the resultant classification of certain debt as current has caused its independent auditors,
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, to issue a modified opinion on its 2002 financial statements contained within the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K that indicates there is substantial doubt about Alleghenys ability to continue as a going concern (a
Going Concern opinion). The 2002 financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the resolution of this uncertainty.



Allegheny has adopted a long-term strategy of focusing on the core generation and T&D businesses in which it has been historically engaged. Allegheny will seek,
consistent with regulatory constraints, to manage its business lines as an integrated whole. Implementing this strategy will be a significant challenge, in part, because of the continuing legacy of past transactions that have negatively affected
Alleghenys operations and financial condition.



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



Private Placement:On July 24, 2003, Allegheny obtained $291 million ($275
million after deducting various fees and placement agents commissions) from its issuance to a wholly-owned special purpose finance subsidiary of AE, Allegheny Capital Trust I (Capital Trust), of units consisting of $300 million principal
amount of 11 7/8 percent Notes due 2008 and warrants for the purchase of up to 25 million shares of AEs common stock, exercisable at $12 per share. The warrants are mandatorily exercisable if AEs common stock price equals or exceeds $15
per share over a specified averaging period occurring after June 15, 2006. The warrants are stapled to the Notes and may be exercised only through the tender of the Notes. The finance subsidiary obtained proceeds required to purchase the units by
issuing $300 million liquidation amount of its 11 7/8 percent Mandatorily-Convertible Trust Preferred Securities to investors in a private placement. The holder of a preferred security is entitled to distributions on a corresponding principal amount
of Notes and may direct the exercise of warrants stapled to the Notes in order to convert the preferred securities into AE common stock. AE fully and unconditionally guarantees Capital Trusts payment obligations under the preferred securities.
Alleghenys consolidated balance sheets reflect the Notes as long-term debt. The Notes and AEs guarantee of Capital Trusts payment obligations are subordinated only to indebtedness arising under the



65



---

##### Table of Contents

agreements governing certain of AEs indebtedness under the Borrowing Facilities, and may be subordinated to indebtedness incurred to refinance such
indebtedness.



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



Renegotiation and Sale of CDWR Contract. In June 2003, AE Supply entered into a settlement agreement with the State of California to resolve the states litigation regarding its power supply contracts with the
CDWR. The terms of the settlement reduced the volume of power to be delivered from 2005-2011 and reduced the sale price of off-peak power to be delivered from 2004-2011, which in turn substantially reduced the value of the contract. (See Item 8,
Notes 26 and 23, Commitments and Contingencies, of AEs and AE Supplys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, respectively, under Other Litigation-Settlement of Litigation Related to Power Supply Contracts with the CDWR for
additional information.) On September 15, 2003, Allegheny closed the sale of the CDWR contract and associated hedge transactions, to J. Aron & Company, a subsidiary of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., for approximately $354 million. Allegheny has
applied $214 million of the sale proceeds to required payments under agreements entered into to terminate tolling agreements with Williams Energy Marketing and Trading Company (Williams) and Las Vegas Cogeneration II (LV Cogen), a unit of Black
Hills Corporation, as described below. Allegheny will apply an additional $28 million of the proceeds to make required payments in March and September of 2004 under the agreement with Williams. Approximately $26 million is being held in a pledged
account for the benefit of AE Supplys creditors. This arrangement is intended to enhance AE Supplys ability to refinance certain unsecured borrowings. Approximately $71 million of the sale proceeds were placed in escrow for the benefit
of J. Aron & Company, pending Alleghenys fulfillment of certain post-closing requirements. When the escrowed funds are released, approximately $50 million will be added to the pledged account and AE Supply will receive the balance. The
remaining $15 million of sale proceeds have been used to partially offset certain of the hedges related to the CDWR contract and to pay fees and expenses associated with the transaction.



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



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

##### Table of Contents

In September 2003, AE Supply exited the Western United States energy trading markets, including all related contracts and
hedge agreements. As a result, Allegheny recorded a net loss of approximately $101.6 million and $520 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. This loss is recorded as a component of net revenues in the consolidated statements
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. This loss was determined without including the approximately $71 million of sale proceeds that were placed in escrow pending Alleghenys fulfillment of certain post-closing
requirements.



Refocusing Trading Activities: Adoption of
Asset-Based Trading Strategy. AE Supply is reorienting its trading operations from high-volume financial trading in national markets to asset optimization and hedging within its region. AE Supply implemented this rebalancing by exiting the Western
United States energy markets, together with unwinding other substantial non asset-based trading positions, which has enabled AE Supply to reduce its long-term trading-related cash outflows and collateral obligations. AE Supply is concentrating its
efforts in the PJM, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic markets where it has a physical presence and greater market knowledge. Ultimately, AE Supply intends to conduct asset optimization and hedging activities with the primary objective of locking in cash
flows associated with AE Supplys portfolio of core physical generating and load positions.



As part of refocusing its activities, AE Supply moved its energy marketing operations from New York to Monroeville, Pennsylvania in May 2003. This transition resulted in ongoing cost savings and improved integration
with AE Supplys generation activity. The reduced staffing levels reflect the newly revised focus of the trading function. Management believes that both trading and marketing and generation operations can be enhanced by locating trading
personnel closer to personnel managing AE Supplys generating assets. Personnel involved in the separate functions can be cross-trained and will be better positioned to enhance the relationship between the two functions.



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

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



Middle Cheat
River Canyon. In July 2003, West Penn, through its subsidiary, The West Virginia Power & Transmission Company, completed the sale of approximately 5,600 acres of land in Preston County, West Virginia to Allegheny Wood Products, Inc. for a net
sales price of $9.6 million.



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



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



Restructuring of Operations. In July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan intended to strengthen its financial performance by, among other things, reducing its workforce. Allegheny has achieved workforce reductions of more than
ten percent through a voluntary Early Retirement Option (ERO) program and selected staff reductions. In 2002, approximately 600 eligible employees accepted the ERO program resulting in a charge of $82.6 million, before income taxes. Allegheny will
continue to take actions intended to reduce costs and improve productivity in all of its operations. See Note 6, Workforce Reduction Expenses, above, for additional information.



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



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

##### Table of Contents

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



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



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



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



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



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



Other Matters Concerning Liquidity and Capital
Requirements: Alleghenys wholesale marketing, energy trading, fuel procurement, and risk management activities require direct and indirect credit support. The amount of credit support required is affected by market price changes for
electricity, natural gas, and other energy-related commodities and Alleghenys credit rating. Such credit support might be in the form of letters of credit, cash deposits, or liquid securities.



Allegheny announced on October 8, 2002 that AE, AE Supply, and AGC were in default under
their principal credit agreements after AE Supply declined to post additional collateral in favor of several trading counterparties. This default resulted in 24 trading counterparties terminating trades with Allegheny by December 31, 2002. Of these
trading counterparties, Allegheny has settled with nine counterparties for a net cash inflow of $6.8 million. As of December 31, 2002, Allegheny had recorded accounts receivable of $9.0 million for payments due from terminated trading counterparties
and had



69



---

##### Table of Contents

recorded accounts payable of $40.6 million due to terminated trading counterparties. In early 2003, Allegheny proposed payment schedules with the remaining
counterparties to settle the accounts payable by the end of 2003. As of September 30, 2003, the amount due under the payment schedules, including interest, was approximately $24.1 million. This amount, plus $0.1 million of interest, was paid in the
fourth quarter of 2003. There were no amounts outstanding at December 31, 2003 related to this matter.



Allegheny and certain of its subsidiaries have also executed letter of credit facilities to provide for additional capacity of $215.0 million. AE Supply regularly posts cash deposits or letters of credit with
counterparties to collateralize a portion of its energy trading obligations. At September 30, 2003, there was $44.7 million outstanding under Alleghenys letter of credit facilities.



Allegheny has various obligations and commitments to make future cash payments under contracts such as debt instruments, lease arrangements,
fuel agreements, and other contracts. The table below provides a summary of the payments due by period for these obligations and commitments as of September 30, 2003. This table does not include capacity contract commitments that were accounted for
under fair value accounting, as discussed below under AE Supplys Operating Revenues or contingencies.

Amounts related to debentures, notes, and bonds in this table
represent contractual cash payments required without taking into account their classification as current, as a result of a default in the underlying debt agreements, on the consolidated balance sheets.



Alleghenys capital expenditures, including construction expenditures, for all of the
subsidiaries for the last three months of 2003 and for the full years of 2004 and 2005 are estimated at $62.2 million, $304.0 million, and $342.7 million, respectively, and include estimated expenditures of $7.3 million, $71.9 million, and $125.6
million, respectively, for environmental control technology. See Item 8, Note 26, Commitments and Contingencies, in AEs 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

For 2002 and 2003, Alleghenys cash flows were adequate to meet all of its payment obligations and to fund capital
expenditures. Allegheny expects that cash flows from operations will not be sufficient in 2004 to cover future obligations, including capital expenditure requirements. Allegheny expects that it will need to arrange for alternative financing or sell
certain assets in order to repay the principal amounts under the Borrowing Facilities scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2004.



Allegheny continues to seek to refinance the outstanding debt of AE and AE Supply with banks and other financial institutions and has filed an application with the SEC
for approval for the refinancing. There is no assurance that SEC approval will be obtained or, if the approval is obtained, that AE and AE Supply will be able to refinance their indebtedness on satisfactory terms or at all.

Alleghenys consolidated net loss
before cumulative effect of accounting change decreased $212.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to reduced losses in the Generation and Marketing segment as a result of
reduced unrealized losses on commodity contracts in 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.



Consolidated net loss before cumulative effect of accounting change increased $100.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the same period of 2002, primarily due to increased losses in
the Generation and Marketing segment as a result of unrealized losses on commodity contracts in 2003, primarily during the first two quarters, versus unrealized gains in 2002, higher interest charges, and higher operation expense, including a loss
on assets held for sale (see Note 4, Assets Held For Sale, above). These factors were offset in part by the recognition of a $56.7 million gain, net of income taxes ($75.8 million, before income taxes), for the reapplication of the provisions of
SFAS No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain

for additional information regarding the reapplication of SFAS No. 71.



For the
nine months ended September 30, 2003, consolidated net loss included $12.1 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of EITF Issue No. 02-3, Accounting for Contracts

For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, consolidated net loss included $130.5 million ($210.1 million before tax), reflecting the

|* | In accordance with EITF 02-3, energy trading revenues are reported net of purchased energy, which has resulted in negative revenue amounts for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002.
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Delivery and
Services: The Delivery and Services segments regulated electric revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased $13.6 million, primarily due to a decrease in residential sales as a result of a decrease in cooling
degree days resulting from cooler summer weather, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The regulated electric revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 increased $37.6 million, primarily due to increased residential
sales, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002.



The Delivery
and Services segments regulated natural gas revenues increased $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to increased residential and commercial sales
resulting from a 28.5 percent increase in usage despite a slight decline in the average number of customers served. The Delivery and Services segments regulated natural gas revenues increased $32.2 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002, due primarily to an increase in combined residential, commercial, industrial and municipal sales as a result of colder winter weather across Alleghenys gas service territory.

The Delivery and Services segments unregulated services revenues decreased $152.3 million and $410.3 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, due primarily to the sale of Alliance Energy Services on December 31, 2002.



Generation and Marketing: The Generation and Marketing segments bulk
power revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 increased $273.3 million in comparison to the same period in 2002, primarily due to recognition of realized gains and reduced unrealized losses associated with AE Supplys trading
portfolio. The Generation and Marketing segments bulk power revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 decreased $246.2 million in comparison to the same period in 2002, primarily due to greater unrealized losses associated with AE
Supplys trading portfolio, offset by the recognition of realized gains. See the discussion in AE Supplys MD&A, under Operating Revenues, with respect to net unrealized losses, recognized gains, changes in the fair value of commodity
contracts, and the breakout of PLR revenues.



The Generation and Marketing
segments retail, affiliated, and other revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003 decreased $24.5 million in comparison to the same period in 2002, primarily due to an overall reduced demand from the Delivery and Services segment
as a result of cooler summer weather, coupled with the effect of AE Supplys exiting the retail business during June 2002. The Generation and Marketing segments retail, affiliated, and other revenues for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 decreased $2.1 million in comparison to the same period in 2002, primarily due to AE Supplys exiting the retail business during June 2002, partially offset by increased sales volume to the Delivery and Services segment as a result of
colder winter weather.



The elimination between Delivery and Services and
Generation and Marketing revenues is necessary to remove the effect of affiliated revenues, which are primarily sales of bulk power.



Cost of Revenues



Fuel Consumed for Electric Generation: Fuel consumed for electric generation, which relates entirely to the Generation and Marketing segment, represents the cost of coal, natural gas, and oil burned at
Alleghenys generating stations to produce electricity. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, fuel consumed for electric generation decreased $5.3 million compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a 7.6 percent decrease in
the quantity of electricity produced, offset in part by a 3.7 percent increase in average fuel prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, fuel consumed for electric generation increased $17.3 million compared to the same period in 2002,
primarily due to a 4.1 percent increase in average fuel prices, offset in part by a 1.3 percent decrease in the quantity of electricity produced.

The Delivery and Services
segments purchased energy from PURPA generation increased $8.0 million and $16.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to an increase in energy purchases from PURPA
generating facilities. This was caused by increased output during the third quarter of 2003 as a result of greater water flow at a PURPA hydro-electric generation facility and decreased PURPA generation during 2002 due to outages at another PURPA
generation facility. The average cost per KWh increased slightly for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 while the average cost per KWh remained relatively consistent for the nine months ended September
30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.



The Delivery and Services
segments purchased energy from other than PURPA generation, which consists primarily of the Distribution Companies purchases of energy from AE Supply, decreased $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the
same period in 2002, primarily due to lower volume purchases from AE Supply resulting from cooler summer weather. This decrease was offset, in part, by the escalating market-based pricing component of the long-term power sales agreements between AE
Supply and the Distribution Companies. The Delivery and Services segments purchased energy from other than PURPA generation increased $36.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due
to an increase in purchases at higher average rates and greater volume for the period as a result of colder winter weather. In addition, the increase also includes the escalating market-based pricing component of the long-term power sales agreements
between AE Supply and the Distribution Companies.



The Generation and Marketing
segments purchased energy and transmission decreased $1.9 million and $57.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to AE Supply exiting the retail business during June
2002 and the elimination of purchases of energy due to imbalances from the Delivery and Services segment beginning April 1, 2002, upon Alleghenys entry into PJM. See the discussion in AE Supplys MD&A, below, under Purchased Energy
and Transmission with respect to the breakout of PLR revenues.

The Delivery and Services
segments natural gas purchases decreased $112.4 million and $294.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to the sale of Alliance Energy Services on December 31,
2002, which historically accounted for a majority of the natural gas purchases, partially offset by increased gas prices.



Deferred energy costs, net: The difference between energy costs and revenues collected from customers is deferred until recovered from or credited to
customers under a purchased energy adjustment and have no impact on net revenues. Deferred energy costs, net decreased $6.3 million and $41.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002,
primarily due to higher natural gas prices incurred by Monongahela for its West Virginia natural gas operations, which are expected to be recovered in rates charged to customers.



Other cost of revenues: Other cost of revenues, which relates entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, decreased $30.0
million and $49.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to the sale of the Allegheny Ventures gas consulting and procurement businesses (Fellon-McCord and Alliance
Energy Services) on December 31, 2002, as well as a reduction in equipment procurement costs associated with Allegheny Energy Solutions engineering and construction project for the Southern Mississippi Electric Power Association.



Other Operating Expenses



Workforce Reduction Expenses: In July 2002, Allegheny announced a
restructuring plan to reduce long-term expenses. The restructuring activities included a company-wide workforce reduction. Allegheny achieved workforce reductions of approximately ten percent primarily through a voluntary ERO program and selected
staff reductions. The ERO program offered enhanced pension and medical benefits. The costs for the workforce reduction under the ERO program were determined in accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and
Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, and SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions.



Workforce reduction expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 were $104.2 million, of which $52.7 million was for the Delivery and
Services segment and $51.5 million for the Generation and Marketing segment. There were no such workforce reduction expenses for 2003.

Total operation expense decreased $5.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of the Generation and Marketing segments reduced rent expenses resulting from the relocation of the energy trading operations
from New York to Monroeville, Pennsylvania in May of 2003, and a reduction in this segments uncollectible expense due to a write-off in the 2002 period that did not recur in 2003. These decreases were partially offset by higher costs
associated with outside services, employee benefits, and materials and supplies across both the Generation and Marketing and Delivery and Services segments. Total operation expense increased $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003
as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to higher costs related to employee benefits and outside services, and a $28.5 million loss on an asset held for sale (see Note 4, Assets Held For Sale, above), all of which are primarily
attributable to the Generating and Marketing segment, and an increase in bad debts caused by the bankruptcy of a regulated utility customer.



Depreciation and Amortization:Depreciation and amortization expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 were fairly consistent with the
amounts for the same periods in 2002.

Taxes Other than Income Taxes:Taxes other than income taxes decreased $2.1 million and $6.9 million
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2003 was primarily the result of lower Pennsylvania gross receipts tax expense as a result of lower Pennsylvania retail
revenues. The decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 resulted from a favorable settlement of a West Virginia audit, reduced exposure to West Virginia Business and Occupation taxes, and reduced gross receipts tax due to AE
Supplys exit from the retail business.



Other Income and Expenses, Net



Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating income and
expenses before income taxes. Other income and expenses, net, increased $50.0 million and $124.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002. The increase for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 is primarily due to a $9.6 million gain on the sale of land in the current year and a $28.9 million impairment charge related to unregulated investments recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2002, and which did not
recur in 2003. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily a result of a $75.8 million gain recognized in the first quarter of 2003, related to the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71 to generation assets in
West Virginia and an impairment charge related to unregulated investments of $42.7 million recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2002, and which did not recur in 2003. See Note 12, Other Income and Expenses, Net, above, for additional
information.

Interest charges on debt increased
$46.1 million and $121.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to same periods in 2002, primarily due to higher interest rates resulting from Alleghenys lower credit rating, and an increase in average debt
outstanding, including new debt issued under the Borrowing Facilities.

Federal and State Income Tax (Benefit) Expense



The provision for income tax expense for earnings from operations and/or the income tax benefit for losses from operations results in an
effective income tax rate, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35.0 percent principally due to state income taxes, tax credits, effects of utility rate making, and certain non-deductible expenses.



The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were
34.1 percent and 38.2 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 41.6 percent and 39.0 percent, respectively. The change in the effective income tax rate for the three months
ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to the tax benefits recorded as a result of exiting the Western United States energy markets, which were partially offset by the inability to record certain state tax benefits as a result of reaching net
operating loss utilization limits.



Allegheny allocates various tax benefits to
the subsidiaries on a standard quarterly allocation pursuant to its consolidated tax sharing agreement. This corporate allocation may cause significant fluctuations in the effective quarterly tax rates from the statutory rates for the subsidiaries
depending on the level of pre-tax profitability.



Cumulative Effect of
Accounting Changes, Net



The following items were recorded in the first
quarter of the respective effective date:



Effective January 1, 2003,
Allegheny adopted EITF Issue No. 02-3. As a result, Allegheny recorded a charge against earnings, related entirely to the operations at AE Supply, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $12.1 million, net of income taxes
($19.7 million, before income taxes), representing the fair value of those contracts previously accounted for under EITF Issue No. 98-10, Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities, that no longer
qualify for mark-to-market accounting. See Note 3, Energy Trading Activities, above, for additional information.



Effective January 1, 2003, Allegheny adopted SFAS No. 143. As a result, Allegheny recorded a charge against earnings as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle of $8.6 million, net of income taxes ($14.0 million, before income taxes). See Note 13, Asset Retirement Obligations, above, for additional information.



Effective January 1, 2002, Allegheny adopted SFAS No. 142. As a result, Allegheny recorded a charge of $130.5 million, net of income taxes
($210.1 million, before income taxes), as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See Item 8, Note 7, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in Alleghenys 2002 Annual Report on Form
10-K for additional information.

when compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to higher net revenues, reflecting lower unrealized losses on commodity contracts in 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, and lower operation expense, offset by higher interest charges.



Consolidated loss before cumulative effect of accounting changes increased
$189.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, when compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to lower net revenues, reflecting unrealized losses on commodity contracts in 2003 versus unrealized gains in 2002, and higher
interest charges and operation expense.



For the nine months ended September
30, 2003, consolidated net loss increased by $12.1 million and $7.4 million, net of income taxes, as a result of the cumulative effect of the accounting changes associated with the adoptions of EITF Issue No. 02-3 and SFAS No. 143, respectively. See
Note 3, Energy Trading Activities, and Note 13, Asset Retirement Obligations, above, for additional information. These amounts were recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2003.

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



Wholesale: For the three months ended September 30, 2003, wholesale revenues increased $276.4 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase was primarily due to the result of lower net
unrealized losses in 2003 of $111.0 million, as compared to net unrealized losses of $309.0 million for the same period in 2002. The unrealized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were primarily driven by a net reduction in value of
AE Supplys commodity contract portfolio, as a result of revised valuation techniques and assumptions, which did not recur in the same period of 2003. The net unrealized losses for the three months ended September 30, 2003 include $172.3
million associated with exiting the Western United States energy markets in September 2003. These amounts are offset by unrealized gains on all other portfolios of $61.1 million. The unrealized gains were the result of favorable price movements and
sales in the Eastern United States energy trading markets.

##### Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, wholesale revenues decreased $240.2 million as compared to the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to unrealized losses in 2003 of $479.4 million as compared to unrealized losses of $180.8 million for the same period of 2002. The unrealized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 include
losses as the result of exiting the Western United States energy trading markets of approximately $554.6 million. These unrealized losses were offset by approximately $75.2 million of unrealized gains as the result of favorable price movements and
sales in the Eastern United States energy trading markets.



The decrease in the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, was the result of pricing differential and volatility in the Western United States energy markets (both electric and gas), as well as increased credit costs, as a
result of changes in market conditions, and excess capacity. There has been, and may continue to be, significant volatility in the market prices for electricity and natural gas at the wholesale level which will impact AE Supplys operating
results.



Also, AE Supply had net realized gains of $65.7 million and realized
losses of $12.8 million, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and net realized gains of $28.4 million and realized losses of $29.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, as a result of settling its trades during those periods.



The net
realized gains for the three months ended September 30, 2003, include proceeds received of $60.7 million as a result of exiting the Western United States energy trading markets, proceeds received of approximately $10 million from the termination of
a power trading agreement in the Western United States energy trading markets by a counterparty, approximately $33 million from the sale of excess generation and favorable price movements across all other energy trading markets. These gains were
reduced by approximately $38 million paid to various counterparties to terminate various power trading contracts in the Northeastern United States.



See Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis, for AE Supply in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussions surrounding the methodology, tenor, and
description of AE Supplys trading portfolio, as well as a description with respect to the range of observable market prices and overall market liquidity. There has been no significant change in the methodology to valuing the portfolio during
the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003. All changes in the fair value of the portfolio are the result of changes in market conditions.



The fair value of energy trading commodity contracts, which represents the net unrealized gain and loss positions, is recorded as assets and liabilities, after applying
the appropriate counterparty netting agreements. At September 30, 2003, the fair value of energy trading commodity contract assets and liabilities was $23.5 million and $104.5 million, respectively. At December 31, 2002, the fair value of energy
trading commodity contract assets and liabilities was $1,211.9 million and $783.7 million, respectively.

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



Approximately $1.9 million of AE Supplys commodity contracts were classified above as prices based on models, even though a portion of
these contracts are valued based on observable market prices. The most significant variables to AE Supplys models used to value these contracts are the forward prices for both electricity and natural gas. These forward prices are based on
observable market prices to the extent prices are available in the market. Generally, electricity forward prices are actively quoted for about one year, and some observable market prices are available for about three years. After three years, the
forward prices for electricity are based on the forward price of natural gas and a marginal heat rate for generation (based on more efficient natural gas-fired generation) to convert natural gas into electricity. For natural gas, forward prices are
generally actively quoted for about three years, and some observable market prices are available for about five years. Beyond five years, natural gas prices are escalated, based on trends in prior years.



For deliveries by the end of 2003, the fair value of AE Supplys commodity contracts was
a net liability of $14.2 million.

Affiliated: Affiliated revenues decreased $8.1 million and increased $25.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to
the same periods in 2002. The decrease for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the same period in 2002 is primarily due to an overall reduced volume demand from the Distribution Companies as a result of cooler summer
weather. The increase for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the same period in 2002 is primarily due to increased sales volume and higher average prices charged to the Distribution Companies in accordance with the
escalating market-based pricing component of the long-term power sales agreements between AE Supply and the Distribution Companies.

Cost of Revenues



Fuel Consumed for Electric Generation: For the three months ended September
30, 2003, fuel consumed for electric generation decreased $6.5 million compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to an 8.2 percent decrease in the quantity of electricity produced. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, fuel consumed
for electric generation increased $6.6 million compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a 3.1 percent increase in average fuel prices, partially offset by a 2.2 percent decrease in the quantity of electricity produced.



Purchased Energy and Transmission:Purchased energy and transmission decreased
$2.6 million and $39.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002,

primarily due to the absence of purchased energy to support retail sales as a result of AE Supplys exiting the retail business during June 2002, and
the absence of purchases from the Distribution Companies beginning April 1, 2002, upon Alleghenys entry into PJM.



Other Operating Expenses



Workforce Reduction Expenses:In July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan to reduce long-term expenses. The restructuring activities included a
company-wide workforce reduction and a reorganization of AE Supplys trading division. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, AE Supply recorded a charge for its allocable share of the workforce reduction expenses of $40.9 million, before
income taxes. These charges did not recur in 2003.



Operation
Expense: Operation expense decreased $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to reduced rent expenses related to the relocation of the trading operations from New York
to Monroeville, Pennsylvania in May 2003, and a reduction in uncollectible expense due to a write-off in the 2002 period that did not recur in 2003. These decreases were partially offset by higher costs associated with outside services, employee
benefits, and materials and supplies.



Operation expense increased $58.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a $28.5 million loss on an asset held for sale (see Note 4, Assets Held For Sale, above), and higher costs associated with employee
benefits, outside services, and refinancing fees related to the Borrowing Facilities. These increases were offset, in part, by the savings related to the relocation of the trading operations from New York to Monroeville, Pennsylvania in May 2003.



Depreciation and Amortization:Depreciation and amortization
increased $5.5 million and $5.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002, primarily due to an increase in average plant in service balances, including the addition of a 540
MW generating facility in Springdale, Pennsylvania that became operational in July 2003.



Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Taxes other than income taxes remained consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2003, but decreased $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as
compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a decrease in gross receipt taxes from exiting the retail business, reduced exposure to West Virginia Business and Occupation taxes, an adjustment for Pennsylvania capital stock taxes, reductions
in Pennsylvania property taxes as a result of a favorable court ruling, and negotiations that resulted in the reduction of property taxes at the Wheatland facility in Indiana.



Interest Charges



Interest charges increased $40.1 million and $96.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002,
primarily due to an increase in AE Supplys average long-term debt outstanding, including new debt issued under the Borrowing Facilities, and higher interest rates charged on the debt as a result of the Companys lower credit rating.

Federal and State Income Tax (Benefit) Expense



The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 35.7 percent and 38.1 percent, respectively. The
effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 40.1 percent and 38.6 percent, respectively. The change in the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to the impact of
exiting the Western United States energy market offset by the inability to record certain state tax benefits as a result of reaching net operating loss utilization limits.



Allegheny allocates various tax benefits to the subsidiaries on a standard quarterly allocation pursuant to its consolidated tax sharing
agreement. This corporate allocation may cause significant fluctuations in the effective quarterly tax rates from the statutory rates for the subsidiaries depending on the level of pre-tax profitability.

million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to a decrease in workforce reduction expenses incurred in 2002, and which did not recur in 2003. The expense reduction was partially offset by a decrease in net revenues during
2003 of $9.2 million. This reduction in net revenues was driven by increased cost of revenues as a result of increased PURPA generation purchases during the three months ended September 30, 2003.



Monongahelas consolidated income before cumulative effect of accounting change
increased $64.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to increased earnings in the Generation and Marketing segment as a result of the recognition of a $48.1 million gain, net of income taxes ($61.7 million, before
income taxes), for the reapplication of the provisions of SFAS No. 71. Additionally, $28.6 million of workforce reduction expenses

recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 did not recur in 2003. These positive earnings effects were partially offset by increased operation
expense, primarily bad debt expense of $8.4 million and higher costs related to employee compensation and benefits and outside services. See Note 10, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, above, for additional information regarding the
reapplication of SFAS No. 71. The cumulative effect of accounting change for 2003 relates to the adoption of SFAS No. 143. See Note 13, Asset Retirement Obligations, above, for additional information.



In 2002, earnings were reduced by $115.4 million, net of income taxes, reflecting the
cumulative effect of the accounting change associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. See Item 8, Note 5, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to the consolidated financial statements in Alleghenys 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for

For the three months ended September
30, 2003, the Delivery and Services segments regulated electric revenues decreased $2.9 million as compared to the three months ending September 30, 2002, primarily due to a decrease in residential sales, which reflects a 31.5 percent decrease
in cooling degree days as a result of cooler summer weather, partially offset by increased industrial revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Delivery and Services segments regulated electric revenues were consistent with
the nine months ending September 30, 2002.



For the three months ended
September 30, 2003, the Delivery and Services segments regulated natural gas revenues increased $3.1 million as compared to the three months ending September 30, 2002, primarily due to increased residential and commercial sales as a result of
a 28.5 percent increase in usage. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Delivery and Services segments regulated natural gas revenues increased $32.0 million as

##### Table of Contents

compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to an increase in combined residential, commercial, industrial and municipal sales as a
result of a 24.1 percent increase in usage.



The Generation and Marketing
segments retail, affiliated and other revenues decreased $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003 in comparison to the same period in 2002, primarily due to decreased sales of energy to the Delivery and Services segment due to
declining regulated electric sales. However, when combined with the six months ended June 30, 2003, the resulting net increase in these revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $25.9 million. This combined net increase was the
result of an overall increase in sales of excess generation to AE Supply at higher average rates.



For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, the Generation and Marketing segments bulk power revenues decreased $3.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively, primarily due to a reduction in
transmission services resulting from fewer cooling days. These decreases were partially offset by increased bulk power usage.



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



Cost of Revenues



Fuel Consumed For Electric Generation:Fuel consumed for electric generation, which relates entirely to the Generation and
Marketing segment, represents the cost of coal, natural gas, and oil burned at Monongahelas generating stations to produce electricity. For the three months ended September 30, 2003, fuel consumed for electric generation increased $1.2 million
compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to an 8.2 percent increase in average fuel prices, offset by a 5.6 percent decrease in the quantity of electricity produced. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, fuel consumed for electric
generation increased $10.7 million compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to an 8.0 percent increase in average fuel prices and a 1.8 percent increase in the quantity of electricity produced.



Purchased Energy and Transmission:Purchased energy and transmission for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 consists of the following items:

##### Table of Contents

The Delivery and Services segments purchased energy from PURPA generation increased $5.6 million and $10.9 million
for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2002. This is primarily due to increased PURPA generation during the third quarter of 2003 due to increased output as a result of greater
water flow at a PURPA hydro-electric generation facility and decreased PURPA generation during 2002 due to outages at another PURPA generation facility.



The Delivery and Services segments purchased energy from other than PURPA generation decreased $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, primarily
due to decreased purchases of energy from the Generation and Marketing segment as a result of declining regulated electric sales. The Delivery and Services segments purchased energy from other than PURPA generation increased $7.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily due to higher energy cost and higher transmission costs as a result of Monongahela joining the PJM in the second quarter of 2002.



The Generation and Marketing segments purchased energy and transmission for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003,
remained relatively consistent with the same periods in 2002.



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



Natural Gas Purchases:Natural gas purchases, which relate entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, increased $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same
period in 2002, primarily due to higher prices, and increased $52.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to increased gas purchases at higher prices to support increased gas
sales.



Other Operating Expenses



Workforce Reduction Expenses:In July 2002, Allegheny announced a
restructuring plan to reduce long-term expenses. The restructuring activities included a company-wide workforce reduction. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, Monongahela recorded a charge for its allocable share of the workforce reduction
expenses of $28.6 million, before income taxes. There were no workforce reduction expenses in 2003.



Operation Expense: Operation expense increased $3.0 million and $24.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. The $3.0 million increase in operation expense for the
three months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, which relates almost entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, is primarily due to costs associated with increased actuarially determined workers compensation costs.
The $24.1 million increase in operation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, which relates almost entirely to the Delivery and Services segment, is primarily due to higher costs related to bad
debt expense of approximately $8.4 million along with higher costs related to employee benefits, outside services and actuarially determined workers compensation costs.

Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Taxes other than income taxes decreased $1.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period of 2002, primarily as a result of a favorable court ruling related to Pennsylvania property tax. Taxes other than income taxes decreased $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2003 as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a favorable audit settlement and lower Pennsylvania property taxes as a result of the favorable court ruling.



Other Income and Expenses, Net



Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating income and expenses before income taxes. Other income and expenses, net, for the three months ended September 30,
2003 increased $1.3 million from the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to increased earnings from Monongahelas equity earnings in AGC, which were offset, in part, by reduced interest and dividend income. Other income and
expenses, net, increased $62.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to the recognition of a $61.7 million gain related to the reapplication of the provisions of
SFAS No. 71 to generation assets in West Virginia. See Note 10, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, and Note 12, Other Income and Expenses, Net, above, for additional information.



Federal and State Income Tax Expense



Monongahela recorded an income tax benefit of $4.6 million during the third quarter of 2003
despite having earned $0.9 million of income for such period. This tax benefit is the result of rate making effects recognized in 2003 related to generation assets, which were not recognized in 2002. The effective income tax rate for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 was 45.1 percent.



The effective income tax
rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 18.7 percent and 31.9 percent, respectively.The change in the effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 is primarily caused by the impact of
the reapplication of SFAS No. 71 and rate making effects recognized in 2003 related to generation assets, which were not recognized in 2002.



Allegheny allocates various tax benefits to the subsidiaries on a standard quarterly allocation pursuant to its consolidated tax sharing agreement. This corporate
allocation may cause significant fluctuations in the effective quarterly tax rates from the statutory rates for the subsidiaries depending on the level of pre-tax profitability.

POTOMAC EDISONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Earnings (Loss) Summary



Potomacs net income increased $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period of 2002. This
net increase was primarily due to the $12.8 million of non-recurring workforce reduction expenses which were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2002, a $1.7 million increase in net revenues, and a $1.2 million reduction in interest
charges resulting from interest recorded in 2002 for a Maryland sales and use tax assessment. These improvements in income were partially offset by increases in taxes other than income taxes due to Maryland coal credits in 2002, which did not recur
in 2003 and increased fuel taxes as well as increased federal and state income taxes, resulting from the increased level of pre-tax income.



Net income increased $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period of 2002. The net increase was primarily due to $12.8
million of non-recurring workforce reduction expenses, which were incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2002, and a $5.0 million increase in net revenues. These improvements in income were offset by increases in federal and state income
tax expense resulting from the increased level of pre-tax income and increased operation expense as a result of higher costs related to employee benefits and outside services. These cost increases were partially offset by reduced interest charges as
a result of an interest payment made on a sales and use tax assessment recorded in 2002 which did not recur in 2003, and the recognition of an $8.6 million gain, net of income taxes ($14.1 million, before income taxes), for the reapplication of the
provisions of SFAS No. 71. See Note 10, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, above, for additional information regarding the reapplication of SFAS No. 71.



The cumulative effect of accounting change for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, relates to the adoption of SFAS No. 143. See Note
13, Asset Retirement Obligations, above, for additional information.



Operating Revenues



For the three months ended September 30,
2003, operating revenues were fairly consistent when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002. Although there were increases in the average number of residential and commercial customers served during the 2003 period, there was a 24.9
percent decrease in the number of cooling degree days as compared to the 2002 period.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, operating revenues increased $39.1 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to an increase in residential sales as a result of an increase in heating degree days due
to colder winter weather in its service territory, an increase in the average number of customers served and an increase in industrial sales as a result of additional MWhs provided.

Purchased Energy and Transmission:Purchased energy expense was relatively unchanged for three months ended September 30, 2003 when compared to the same
period of the prior year. Purchased energy expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, was $36.4 million higher from those for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, due to higher volume and slightly higher rates.



Other Operating Expenses



Workforce Reduction Expenses:In July 2002, Allegheny announced a
restructuring plan to reduce long-term expenses. The restructuring activities included a company-wide workforce reduction. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, Potomac Edison recorded a charge for its allocable share of the workforce reduction
expenses of $12.8 million, before income taxes. There were no workforce reduction expenses in 2003.



Operation Expense: Operation expense remained relatively consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002. Operation expense increased $6.5 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period of 2002, primarily due to higher costs related to employee benefits and outside services.



Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.4 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2003, as compared to the same periods in 2002, as a result of greater plant in service amounts.



Taxes Other Than Income Taxes: Taxes other than income taxes increased $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to the
recognition, during the third quarter of 2002, of a Maryland coal credit subject to gross receipts tax and, to a lesser degree, increased fuel taxes in 2003. Taxes other than income taxes remained relatively consistent for the nine months ended
September 30, 2003 in comparison to the same period in 2002.

and a $1.9 million gain on the sale of land. See Note 10, Accounting for the Effects of Price Deregulation, and Note 12, Other Income and Expenses, Net, above, for additional information.

Federal and State Income Tax Expense



The effective income tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 28.3 percent and 32.2 percent, respectively. The
effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 29.5 percent and 32.2 percent, respectively.The change in the effective income tax rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 is primarily
caused by the effect of regulation on deferred income taxes for depreciation, and allocated consolidated tax benefits.



Allegheny allocates various tax benefits to the subsidiaries on a standard quarterly allocation pursuant to its consolidated tax sharing agreement. This corporate
allocation may cause significant fluctuations in the effective quarterly tax rates from the statutory rates for the subsidiaries depending on the level of pre-tax profitability.





WEST PENNS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Earnings Summary



Consolidated net income increased $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30,
2003, as compared to the same period of 2002. The net increase was primarily due to nonrecurring workforce reduction expenses of $20.0 million which occurred in 2002, and did not recur in 2003, a $14.7 million increase in other income during 2003
resulting from a gain on the sale of land, and $1.9 million in reduced interest charges. These decreases were partially offset by a $9.0 million decrease in net revenues due to a lower sales level in 2003, increases in other operating expenses, and
a $9.2 million increase in federal and state income taxes resulting from the increased level of pre-tax income.



For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, consolidated net income increased $8.0 million, primarily due to the lower workforce reduction expenses as described above,
and $5.5 million in reduced interest charges, partially offset by an $8.9 million decrease in net revenues resulting from the lower sales level in 2003, increased other operating expenses, and a $4.5 million increase in federal and state income
taxes resulting from the increased level of pre-tax income.



Operating
Revenues



Operating revenues decreased $14.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2003, from the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to decreased revenue from residential customers of $9.7 million as a result of a 34.5 percent decrease in cooling degree days partially offset by an increase in
the average number of customers served, and a decrease in revenue from affiliates of $1.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue from commercial customers resulting from increased average prices.



Operating revenues decreased $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003,
compared to the same period of 2002, primarily due to $9.6 million of reduced sales to affiliates, reduced revenue from industrial customers of $6.4 million as a result of a decline in MWhs provided, and reduced revenue of $6.7 million from
municipal customers who have chosen alternate electricity generation suppliers. These decreases were partially

##### Table of Contents

offset by increased revenue of $7.9 million from residential customers resulting from increased MWh sales due to a 19.8 percent increase in the heating
degree days for the 2003 period as compared to the same period of 2002.



Cost of Revenues



Purchased energy expense:
Purchased energy expense decreased $5.6 million and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2002. These decreases were principally the result of reduced revenue resulting
from a 5.5 percent decline in usage for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and a 2.3 percent decline in usage for the nine-month period.



Other Operating Expenses



Workforce Reduction Expenses:In July 2002, Allegheny announced a restructuring plan to reduce long-term expenses. The restructuring activities included a
company-wide workforce reduction. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, West Penn recorded a charge for its allocable share of the workforce reduction expenses of $20.0 million, before income taxes. There were no workforce reduction expenses in
the third quarter of 2003.



Operation Expense: Operation expense
increased $2.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003 from the same period in 2002 primarily resulting from increased insurance costs and, to a lesser extent, increased material and supplies costs. Operation expense decreased $3.5
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the same period of 2002, as a result of savings from restructuring and cost reduction initiatives begun in the third quarter of 2002, including Alleghenys voluntary ERO program
offset, in part, by increased costs related to insurance, materials and supplies, and employee benefits.



Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.3 million and $4.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same
periods of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in the property, plant, and equipment in service balances.



Taxes Other than Income Taxes: Taxes other than income taxes decreased $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the
three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to lower Pennsylvania gross receipts tax expense as a result of lower Pennsylvania retail revenues and adjustments related to regulatory issues and tax filings. Taxes other than income taxes
increased $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the same period of 2002, primarily due to an increase in gross receipt taxes on increased Pennsylvania retail revenues and a current year accrual of Pennsylvania use
taxes related to prior tax periods.

Other Income and Expenses, Net



Other income and expenses, net, represent non-operating income and expenses before income taxes. Other income and expenses, net, increased
$14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to a $9.6 million gain from the sale of land, and to a lesser extent, interest received on a tax refund. Other income
and expenses, net, remained fairly consistent for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2002.



Interest Charges



Interest charges decreased $2.0 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2002, primarily due to lower average debt levels resulting
from the repayment of transition bonds.



Federal and State Income Tax
Expense



The effective income tax rates for the three months ended
September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 33.3 percent and 29.2 percent, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 were 32.5 percent and 32.3 percent, respectively.



Allegheny allocates various tax benefits to the subsidiaries on a standard quarterly
allocation pursuant to its consolidated tax sharing agreement. This corporate allocation may cause significant fluctuations in the effective quarterly tax rates from the statutory rates for the subsidiaries depending on the level of pre-tax

AGCS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Earnings Summary



Net income increased $1.6 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the same period of 2002, primarily due to increased revenues, all of which are from affiliates. Net income increased $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, as compared to the
same period of the prior year, primarily due to increased revenues which were offset, in part, by an increase in interest on debt.



Operating Revenues



Operating revenues increased $1.8 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2002, primarily due to an increase in recoveries
through regulated rates, which were brought about as a result of higher interest expenses and an increase in AGCs investment in the Bath County power station for the nine-month period. AGCs interest on debt increased primarily due to
higher interest rates. AGC recovers in revenues all of its operation expense, depreciation, taxes other than income taxes, and a return on its investment through a cost-of-service rate schedule approved by the FERC.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, REQUIREMENTS, AND
RESOURCES



Liquidity and Capital Requirements



On February 25, 2003 and March 13, 2003, Allegheny entered into the Borrowing Facilities
totaling $2,447.8 million with various credit providers to refinance and restructure the majority of AE and AE Supplys short-term debt. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, in the Notes to consolidated financial
statements in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of the Borrowing Facilities and related debt covenant requirements. Allegheny and AE Supply have obtained waivers for these respective agreements covenants for the
reporting periods through December 31, 2003.



As a result of Alleghenys
failure to comply with certain covenants for financial reporting requirements under the majority of Alleghenys debt, including Alleghenys First Mortgage Bonds, Transition Bonds, and Medium-Term Notes (for additional information, see Item
8, Consolidated Statements of Capitalization, for each registrant in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K), as well as cross-covenant requirements in certain of Alleghenys Pollution Control Bonds (collectively Indebtedness), at
Monongahela, Potomac Edison, and West Penn, Alleghenys debt is classified as current in accordance with EITF 86-30. See Item 8, Note 3, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements in the 2002
Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of these violations.

##### Table of Contents

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



At September 30, 2003, no
registrant had access to any short-term revolving credit facilities or lines of credit with third party financial institutions, beyond that which has been utilized. Approximately $53.6 million, of a total $55 million revolving credit facility at
Monongahela, is classified as current. See Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, above, for additional information.



A one percent increase in the short-term borrowing interest rate would increase projected short-term interest expense by approximately $13.5 million for the twelve months
ended September 30, 2004, based on projected short-term borrowings (which excludes the Borrowing Facilities). See Liquidity Strategy, above, and Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy, above, concerning the adequacy of cash flows to meet
payment obligations.





OTHER MATTERS



Critical Accounting Policies



A summary of Alleghenys
critical accounting policies is included under Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Allegheny, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West
Penn, and AGC. Alleghenys critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those reported in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

New Accounting Pronouncements



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





REGULATORY MATTERS



Federal
Regulation



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



State Legislation and Regulatory Developments



Rate Matters



Monongahela (Ohio): On July 24, 2003, the PUCO (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio) authorized Monongahela to issue a request for proposals to supply wholesale power to
Monongahela commencing January 1, 2004, for new standard market-based retail rate service to its medium and large industrial and commercial customers and to its street lighting customers, totaling approximately 130 MW of load. AE Supply won the
competitive bid process to



101

##### Table of Contents

serve the load, subject to approval of its bid by the PUCO. On October 8, 2003, Monongahela requested that the PUCO approve the bid and the corresponding
retail rates to be charged the applicable customer classes. The PUCO denied the request in October 2003 for approval of the wholesale bid and new retail rates and froze the current fixed rates for these customer classes for two years until December
31, 2005, on the grounds that certain conditions to allow market-based rates prior to December 31, 2005 were not met. On December 17, 2003, the PUCO denied Monongahelas request for rehearing. Monongahela intends to appeal the PUCOs
order. Beginning January 1, 2004, Monongahela is procuring power from the PJM market for these customers and anticipates that the price for that power will be higher than the currently tariffed retail generation rates. Monongahela intends to account
for any corresponding losses, but cannot be certain that the PUCO will allow Monongahela to recover any or all of these costs. On December 31, 2003, Monongahela filed an application with the PUCO for authority to implement a surcharge for the
difference between its cost to purchase power and the retail generation rate.



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



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





ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



Alleghenys primary market risk exposures are associated with interest rates and commodity prices. Allegheny has risk management policies to monitor and assist in controlling these market risks and uses
derivative instruments to manage some of the exposures.



A summary of
Alleghenys market risks is included under Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Allegheny, AE Supply, Monongahela, Potomac Edison, West Penn, and AGC.
Alleghenys market risks have not changed materially from those reported in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As noted below, its value at risk (VaR) associated with the commodity contract trading portfolio at AE Supply has changed
significantly from that previously reported.



As a result of the completed sale
in the third quarter of 2003 to J. Aron & Company of the commodity contracts associated with the Western United States energy markets, and termination of related tolling agreements, the calculated VaR associated with the energy trading
activities at AE Supply as of September 30, 2003 has significantly changed from that calculated at December 31, 2002. For a complete description of these transactions see Note 2, Debt Covenants and Liquidity Strategy  Liquidity Strategy 
Exiting from Western United States Energy Markets, above, in the combined notes to consolidated financial statements.



102



---

##### Table of Contents

This exit from the Western United States energy markets has decreased both the magnitude and tenor of AE Supplys
net open positions of its commodity contract trading portfolio, which had a corresponding decrease in calculated VaR. Allegheny calculated VaR using the full term of all remaining trading positions. This calculation includes positions beyond three
years for which there is a limited, observable, liquid market. As a result, this calculation is based upon managements best estimates and modeling assumptions, which could materially differ from actual results. As of September 30, 2003 and
December 31, 2002, this calculation yielded a VaR of $0.2 million and $15.3 million, respectively.





ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Allegheny
identified a miscalculation in its business segment information after the filing of Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2002, and initiated a comprehensive review of its financial processes, records, and internal controls. As a result, Allegheny
identified numerous accounting errors. See Part III, Item 14, Controls and Procedures, of the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K for information concerning accounting errors and internal control deficiencies.



Allegheny has implemented corrective actions to mitigate the risk that its internal control
deficiencies could lead to material misstatements in the financial statements filed as part of this Form 10-Q. Allegheny developed and implemented a plan to perform significant additional procedures designed to mitigate the effects of the
deficiencies in internal controls and hired outside professional services firms to assist in the performance of the additional procedures. Alleghenys additional procedures included the reconciliation and analysis of balance sheet accounts,
analysis of various transactions for proper classification and cut-off, and the analysis of various accounting processes to determine additional actions necessary to ensure the accuracy of Alleghenys financial records and identify corrective
actions needed to improve internal controls. However, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Alleghenys independent auditor, in their report dated September 12, 2003, has advised the Audit Committee of continuing material weaknesses noted during the 2002
audit.



Alleghenys management, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors
have recognized and are fully committed to resolving Alleghenys internal control deficiencies. Ultimate resolution of the deficiencies will include changing the culture of the accounting function to focus on accountability and strict, timely
adherence to a set of sound internal control policies and procedures. Allegheny has recently made substantial changes in its senior management. Management has commenced or is undertaking the following corrective actions in order to achieve an
immediate improvement in the controls environment:



| | (i) | establishment of a Disclosure Committee as described below;
| | --- | -----------------------------------------------------------



| | (ii) | development of new policies, processes, and procedures to identify and remediate weaknesses and improve controls, including reconciliation, classification, and cut-off issues;

Long-term corrective actions include:



| | (i) | development of a detailed accounting policies and procedures manual under the direction of a newly-created department as discussed above; and

| | (ii) | evaluation of data processing systems with a view to the improvement or replacement of systems related to energy trading and supply chain management, and implementation of data
processing systems to enable the accounting function to further utilize technology-based solutions.

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



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

##### Table of Contents

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



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



The Disclosure Committee, with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed the augmented procedures
implemented by Allegheny in connection with the preparation of this report and found them to be effective. However, until Allegheny completes the actions described above to achieve improvements in its internal controls, Allegheny intends to devote
additional resources to ensure that its public disclosures are accurate.



The
above matters have been undertaken by Allegheny at the direction and with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and with extensive involvement of PwC and other outside professional services firms.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS





We have from time to time become involved in litigation incidental to our business activities. See Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, above, for additional
information.





ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS



There were no sales of equity securities during the quarter covered by this report.



On July 25, 2003, AE completed the private placement of $300 million aggregate liquidation amount of its 117/8percent Mandatorily-Convertible Trust Preferred Securities (the Trust Preferred Securities) to a group of private investment funds. AE concluded that the placement qualified for exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, including under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. This conclusion was based on several factors, including representations provided by the purchasers and the placement agents. The aggregate
price paid by the purchasers in the private placement was $291 million (97 percent of par) after taking into account the three percent issuance discount. AE paid aggregate placement agents commissions of $11.5 million. AE realized net proceeds
after expenses, including fees and expenses of purchasers and agents counsel, of $275 million.



The Trust Preferred Securities will be convertible automatically into shares of AE common stock on or after June 15, 2006, in the event that the closing price per share
of AE common stock equals or exceeds $15 over a specified averaging period. The Trust Preferred Securities are also convertible at the option of the holders at any time. The Trust Preferred Securities were issued in multiples of $1,000. The
conversion price of the Trust Preferred Securities is $12 per AE common share (that is, 83.33 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Trust Preferred Securities). The Trust Preferred Securities are convertible in the aggregate into 25 million
shares of AE common stock. The terms of the Trust Preferred Securities relating to their conversion are subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions.



ITEM 3. DEFAULT UPON SENIOR SECURITIES





None



ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS





No matters were submitted to a vote of the Registrants security holders during the third quarter of 2003. AE Supply does not have security
holders. Thus, no matters were submitted to a vote of security holders of AE Supply.
