(1) As a result of adopting Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 46, we no longer consolidate the trust that held Company obligated, mandatorily redeemable, preferred trust securities of subsidiary, holding solely debt securities of the company. This resulted in the removal of these securities from our 2003 Balance Sheet and the addition to long-term debt of a $319 (net of discount) note payable that Cinergy Corp. owes the trust.
   
(2) As of January 31, 2005.
