As detailed in the press release, the settlement provides for immediate rate reductions to IGC customers and for additional contributions to low-income assistance programs to assist customers in paying heating bills. The agreement provides that the $3.8 million disallowance, which was recognized as a charge to IGC's 2000 fiscal year results, will be satisfied by the contributions described in the press release. As a result of the disallowance and amounts previously recognized, it is expected that the additional expense recorded in 2001 will be less than $2 million. Item 7.
