          shall be filed, if applicable.

     2.   The requirement to provide specific information by means of this
          form supersedes any requirement by order of the Commission to
          provide identical information by means of periodic certificates
          under rule 24; but does not so supersede and replace any
          requirement by order to provide information by means of an annual
          report on Form U-13-60.

     3.   Information with respect to reporting companies that is required by
          Form U-13-60 shall be provided exclusively on that form.

     4.   Notwithstanding the specific requirements of this form, this
          Commission may informally request such further information as, in
          its opinion, may be necessary or appropriate.

B.   Statements of Monetary Amounts and Deficits

     1.   Amounts included in this form and in related financial statements
          may be expressed in whole dollars, thousands of dollars or hundred
          thousands of dollars.

     2.   Deficits and other similar entries shall be indicated by either
          brackets or parentheses.  An explanation should be provided by
          footnote.

C.   Formal Requirements

     This form, including exhibits, shall be filed with Commission
     electronically pursuant to Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.10 et seq.).  A
     conformed copy of each such report shall be filed with each state
     commission having jurisdiction over the retail rates of a public utility
     company that is an associate company of a reporting company.  Each
     report shall provide the name and telephone number of the person to whom
     inquiries concerning this report should be directed.

D.   Definitions

     As used in this form, the word "reporting company" means an energy-
     related company or gas-related company, as defined in rule 58(b).  All
     other words and terms have the same meaning as in the Public Utility

16. Presentation

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

17. Derivative Instruments, Market Risk and Risk Management

A.  Derivative Instruments

Derivatives that are utilized for trading purposes are recorded at fair value
with changes in fair value included in earnings.  Other contracts that are
derivatives but do not meet the definition of a cash flow or fair value hedge
and cannot be designated as normal purchases or normal sales are also
recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings.  For
those contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and meet the cash
flow hedge requirements, the changes in the fair value of the effective
portion of those contracts are generally recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income until the underlying transactions occur.  For contracts
that meet the definition of a derivative but do not meet the hedging
requirements, and for the ineffective portion of contracts that meet the cash
flow hedge requirements, the changes in fair value of those contracts are
recognized currently in earnings.  Derivative contracts designated as fair
value hedges and the item they are hedging are both recorded at fair value on
the balance sheet.  Derivative contracts that are entered into as a normal
purchase or sale and are probable of resulting in physical delivery, and are
documented as such, are recorded under accrual accounting.

The tables below summarize Select Energy's derivative assets and liabilities
at June 30, 2004.  The business activities of NU Enterprises that result in
the recognition of derivative assets include concentrations of credit risk to
energy marketing and trading counterparties.  At June 30, 2004, the maximum
amount of loss on trading, non-trading, and hedging contracts due to credit
risk and assuming complete performance failure and no value for the
collateral maintained is the total of NU Enterprises' derivative assets of
$203 million.  However, a significant portion of these assets is contracted
with investment grade rated counterparties or collateralized with cash.  The
amounts below do not include option premiums paid, which are recorded as
prepayments and amounted to $6.8 million related to energy trading activities
and $16.7 million related to marketing activities at June 30, 2004.  These
amounts also do not include option premiums received, which are recorded as
other current liabilities and amounted to $9.2 million related to energy
trading activities and $1.9 million related to marketing activities at
June 30, 2004.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 (Millions of Dollars)        Assets         Liabilities        Total

Total                        $ 203.0           $ (98.2)        $ 104.8
===============================================================================

Trading:  To gather market intelligence and utilize this information in risk
management activities for the wholesale marketing activities, Select Energy
conducts limited energy trading activities in electricity, natural gas, and
oil, and therefore, experiences net open positions.  Select Energy manages
these open positions with strict policies that limit its exposure to market
risk and require daily reporting to management of potential financial
exposures.

Derivatives used in trading activities are recorded at fair value and
included in the balance sheet as derivative assets or liabilities.  Changes
in fair value are recognized in operating revenues in the statement of income
in the period of change.  The net fair value positions of the trading
portfolio at June 30, 2004 were assets of $28.3 million.

Select Energy's trading portfolio includes New York Mercantile Exchange
(NYMEX) futures and options, the fair value of which is based on closing
exchange prices; over-the-counter forwards and options, the fair value of
which is based on the mid-point of bid and ask market prices; and bilateral
contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity or natural gas, the fair
value of which is determined using available information from external
sources.  Select Energy's trading portfolio also includes transmission
congestion contracts (TCCs).  The fair value of the TCCs included in the
trading portfolio is based on published market data.

Non-trading:  Non-trading derivative contracts are used for delivery of energy
related to Select Energy's wholesale and retail marketing activities.  These
contracts are subject to fair value accounting because these contracts are
derivatives that cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales, as
defined.  These contracts cannot be designated as normal purchases or sales
either because they are included in the New York energy market that settles
financially or because management did not elect the normal purchases and
sales designation.  Changes in fair value of a negative $0.7 million of non-
trading derivative contracts were recorded in revenues in the first six
months of 2004.

Market information for the TCCs classified as non-trading is not available,
and those contracts cannot be reliably valued.  Management believes the
amounts paid for these contracts, which total $8.2 million at June 30, 2004,
are included in premiums paid, are equal to their fair value.

Hedging:  Select Energy utilizes derivative financial and commodity
instruments, including futures and forward contracts, to reduce market risk
associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas
purchased to meet firm sales commitments to certain customers.  Select Energy
also utilizes derivatives, including price swap agreements, call and put
option contracts, and futures and forward contracts to manage the market risk
associated with a portion of its anticipated supply and delivery
requirements.  These derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedging
instruments and are used to reduce the market risk associated with
fluctuations in the price of electricity, natural gas or oil.  A derivative
that hedges exposure to the variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction
(a cash flow hedge) is initially recorded at fair value with changes in fair
value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.  Cash flow hedges
impact net income when the forecasted transaction being hedged occurs, when
hedge ineffectiveness is measured and recorded, when the forecasted
transaction being hedged is no longer probable of occurring, or when there is
accumulated other comprehensive loss and the hedge and the forecasted
transaction being hedged are in a loss position on a combined basis.

Select Energy maintains natural gas service agreements with certain customers
to supply gas at fixed prices for terms extending through 2006.  Select
Energy has hedged its gas supply risk under these agreements through NYMEX
futures contracts.  Under these contracts, which also extend through 2006,
the purchase price of a specified quantity of gas is effectively fixed over
the term of the gas service agreements.  At June 30, 2004 the NYMEX futures
contracts had notional values of $65.2 million and were recorded at fair
value as derivative assets of $11.9 million.

Select Energy also maintains various physical and financial instruments to
hedge its electric and gas purchases and sales through 2006.  These
instruments include forwards, futures, options, financial collars, swaps and
financial transmission rights.  These hedging contracts, which are valued at
the mid-point of bid and ask market prices, were recorded as derivative
assets of $79.7 million and derivative liabilities of $14.7 million at
June 30, 2004.

In the second quarter of 2004, Select Energy hedged natural gas inventory
with gas futures, accounted for as fair value hedges.  The changes in fair
value of the futures, options and swaps were recorded as derivative
liabilities of $0.5 million, and the changes in fair value of the hedged
inventory of $0.9 million were recorded on the balance sheet.

B.  Market Risk Information

Select Energy utilizes the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose
quantitative information for its commodity price risks.  Sensitivity analysis
provides a presentation of the potential loss of future earnings, fair values
or cash flows from market risk-sensitive instruments over a selected time
period due to one or more hypothetical changes in commodity prices, or other
similar price changes.  Under sensitivity analysis, the fair value of the
portfolio is a function of the underlying commodity, contract prices and
market prices represented by each derivative commodity contract.  For swaps,
forward contracts and options, fair value reflects management's best
estimates considering over-the-counter quotations, time value and volatility
factors of the underlying commitments.  Exchange-traded futures and options
are recorded at fair value based on closing exchange prices.

Wholesale and Retail Marketing Portfolio:  When conducting sensitivity
analyses of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity,
natural gas and oil on the wholesale and retail marketing portfolio, which
would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of
electricity, natural gas and oil, the fair values of the contracts are
determined from models that take into consideration estimated future market
prices of electricity, natural gas and oil, the volatility of the market
prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the underlying
commitments. In most instances, market prices and volatility are determined
from quoted prices on the futures exchange.

Select Energy has determined a hypothetical change in the fair value for its
wholesale and retail marketing portfolio, which includes cash flow hedges and
electricity, natural gas and oil contracts, assuming a 10 percent change in
forward market prices.  At June 30, 2004, a 10 percent change in market price
would have resulted in an increase in fair value of $24.6 million or a
decrease in fair value of $22.7 million.

The impact of a change in electricity, natural gas and oil prices on Select
Energy's wholesale and retail marketing portfolio at June 30, 2004, is not
necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these
contracts are physically delivered.

Trading Contracts:  At June 30, 2004, Select Energy has calculated the market
price resulting from a 10 percent change in forward market prices.  That 10
percent change would result in approximately a $0.7 million increase or
decrease in the fair value of the Select Energy trading portfolio.  In the
normal course of business, Select Energy also faces risks that are either non-
financial or non-quantifiable.  These risks principally include credit risk,
which is not reflected in this sensitivity analysis.

C.  Other Risk Management Activities

Credit Risk Management:  Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that NU would
incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms
of their contractual obligations.  NU serves a wide variety of customers and
suppliers that include IPPs, industrial companies, gas and electric
utilities, oil and gas producers, financial institutions, and other energy
marketers.  Margin accounts exist within this diverse group, and NU realizes
interest receipts and payments related to balances outstanding in these
margin accounts.  This wide customer and supplier mix generates a need for a
variety of contractual structures, products and terms which, in turn,
requires NU to manage the portfolio of market risk inherent in those
transactions in a manner consistent with the parameters established by NU's
risk management process.

Credit risks and market risks at NU Enterprises are monitored regularly by a
Risk Oversight Council operating outside of the business lines that create or
actively manage these risk exposures to ensure compliance with NU's stated
risk management policies.

NU tracks and re-balances the risk in its portfolio in accordance with fair
value and other risk management methodologies that utilize forward price
curves in the energy markets to estimate the size and probability of future
potential exposure.

NYMEX traded futures and option contracts cleared off the NYMEX exchange are
ultimately guaranteed by NYMEX to Select Energy.  Select Energy has
established written credit policies with regard to its counterparties to
minimize overall credit risk on all types of transactions.  These policies
require an evaluation of potential counterparties' financial condition
(including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain
circumstances (including cash in advance, letters of credit, and parent
guarantees), and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the
netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single
counterparty.  This evaluation results in establishing credit limits prior to
Select Energy entering into energy contracts.  The appropriateness of these
limits is subject to continuing review.  Concentrations among these
counterparties may impact Select Energy's overall exposure to credit risk,
either positively or negatively, in that the counterparties may be similarly
affected by changes to economic, regulatory or other conditions.

At June 30, 2004, Select Energy maintained collateral balances from
counterparties of $105 million.  These amounts are included in both
unrestricted cash from counterparties and other current liabilities on the
accompanying balance sheet.

18. Unrestricted Cash from Counterparties

Unrestricted cash on deposit from counterparties represents balances
collected from counterparties resulting from Select Energy's credit
management activities.  An offsetting liability has been recorded in other
current liabilities for the amounts collected.  To the extent Select Energy
requires collateral from counterparties, cash is held as a part of the total
collateral required.  The right to hold such cash collateral in an
unrestricted manner is determined by the terms of Select Energy's agreements.
Key factors affecting the unrestricted status of a portion of this cash
collateral include the financial standing of Select Energy and its credit
support provider.

19. Special Deposits

Special deposits represents amounts Select Energy has on deposit with
unaffiliated counterparties and brokerage firms in the amount of $2.6
million.
