1 Performance Stock Plan grants were made on February 18, 2000 and vest
annually at a rate of one-third on the anniversary date of the grant. Grants
fully vest upon termination incident to death, total disability, or retirement
and expire five years after retirement, three years after death or total
disability, or their normal expiration date if earlier. The exercise price is
the average of the high and low fair market value of SOUTHERN's common stock on
the date granted. Options may be transferred to family members, family trusts
and family limited partnerships.
2 A total of 6,977,038 stock options were granted in 2000.
3 Value was calculated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The
actual value, if any, ultimately realized depends on the market value of
SOUTHERN's common stock at a future date. Significant assumptions are shown
below:
                                                     Risk-free         Dividend              Discount for forfeiture risk:

These assumptions reflect the effects of cash dividend equivalents paid to
participants under the Performance Dividend Plan assuming targets are met.

1 Each unit is equal to the value of one share of SOUTHERN's common stock.
Under SOUTHERN's Executive Productivity Improvement Plan, the number of units
granted to Messrs. Dahlberg and Franklin had a value based on the fair market
value of common stock at the beginning of the performance period of $150,000
and $100,000, respectively. No awards are paid unless the participant remains
employed by the Company through the end of the performance period.
2 The threshold, target, and maximum value of a unit under the plan is 50%,
100% and 200%, respectively, and can vary based on the Company's total
shareholder return relative to selected groups of electric utilities. If certain
minimum performance relative to the selected groups is not achieved, there will
be no payout; nor is there a payout if the current earnings of the Company are
not sufficient to fund the dividend rate paid in the last calendar year. The
plan provides that in the discretion of the Compensation & Management Succession
Committee, extraordinary income may be excluded for purposes of calculating the
amount available for the payment of awards. All awards are payable in cash at
the end of the performance period.
      The threshold, target and maximum value of a unit under Southern LINC's
Long-Term Incentive Plan is 50%, 100% and 300%, respectively.
3 Under Southern LINC's Long-Term Incentive Plan, annual target awards range
from 5 to 40 percent of base salary as of the end of the plan period,
depending upon the grade of the participant at the beginning of the
performance period. Performance is measured based on Southern LINC's net
income. Incentives are earned based on the achievement of the overlapping
three-year net income targets.

      (c)  Contracts and transactions with system companies.

      ALABAMA, GEORGIA, GULF, and MISSISSIPPI are incorporated by reference to
      the Information Statements relating to each of their respective 2001
      Annual Meeting of Shareholders. SAVANNAH is incorporated by reference to
      page number III-10 in the SOUTHERN system's combined Form 10-K for the
      year ended December 31, 2000.

      (e)  Participation in bonus and profit sharing arrangements and other
           benefits.
           ----------------------------------------------------------------

      SOUTHERN is incorporated by reference to Executive Compensation in
      SOUTHERN's definitive Proxy Statement relating to the 2001 annual meeting
      of stockholders. Also, ALABAMA, GEORGIA, GULF, and MISSISSIPPI are
      incorporated by reference to the Information Statements relating to each
      of their respective 2001 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. SAVANNAH is
      incorporated by reference to page number III-8 in the SOUTHERN system's
      combined Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

      SOUTHERN's Change in Control Plan is applicable to certain of its
      officers, and individual change in control agreements have been entered
      into with some of the most highly compensated executive officers of SCS,
      SEGCO, and Southern LINC, Southern Nuclear. If an executive is
      involuntarily terminated, other than for cause, within two years following
      a change in control of SOUTHERN the agreements provide for:

o lump sum payment of two or three times annual compensation,
o up to five years' coverage under group health and life insurance plans,
o immediate vesting of all stock options and stock appreciation rights
  previously granted,
o payment of any accrued long-term and short-term bonuses and dividend
  equivalents, and
o payment of any excise tax liability incurred as a result of payments made
  under the agreement.

      A SOUTHERN change in control is defined under the agreements as:

o acquisition of at least 20 percent of the SOUTHERN's stock,
o a change in the majority of the members of the SOUTHERN's board of directors,
o a merger or other business combination that results in SOUTHERN's
  shareholders immediately before the merger owning less than 65 percent of
  the voting power after the merger, or
o a sale of substantially all the assets of SOUTHERN.

      A change in control of a subsidiary is defined under the agreements as: o
acquisition of at least 50 percent of the subsidiary's stock, o a merger or
other business combination unless SOUTHERN controls the surviving entity or o a
sale of substantially all the assets of the subsidiary.

      If a change in control affects only a subsidiary of SOUTHERN, these
      payments would only be made to executives of the affected subsidiary who
      are involuntarily terminated as a result of that change in control.

      SOUTHERN also has amended its short- and long-term incentive plans to
      provide for pro-rata payments at not less than target-level performance if
      a change in control occurs and the plans are not continued or replaced
      with comparable plans.

      On February 28, 1998, SOUTHERN and GEORGIA entered into a Deferred
      Compensation Agreement with Mr. Franklin. On the fifth anniversary of the
      Agreement, if still employed by SOUTHERN or one of its subsidiaries, Mr.
      Franklin will receive the cash value of the number of shares of SOUTHERN
      common stock that could have been purchased for $500,000 on February 28,
      1998, and on which dividends were reinvested throughout the five-year
      period. If certain performance goals are met, Mr. Franklin also will
      receive the estimated income tax expense on the compensation. Mr. Franklin
      may elect to defer receipt of the award until termination of employment.
      GEORGIA assigned this agreement to SCS effective July 8, 1999.

      shares of SOUTHERN common stock that could have been purchased for
      $200,000 on February 23, 1998, and on which dividends were reinvested
      throughout the five-year period. If certain performance goals are met, Mr.
      Woodard also will receive the estimated income tax expense on the
      compensation. Mr. Woodard may elect to defer receipt of the award until
      termination of employment.

      On February 23, 1998, SOUTHERN and Southern Nuclear entered into a
      Deferred Compensation Agreement with Mr. Hairston. On the fifth
      anniversary of the Agreement, if still employed by SOUTHERN or one of its

      shares of SOUTHERN common stock that could have been purchased for
      $250,000 on February 23, 1998, and on which dividends were reinvested

      Hairston also will receive the estimated income tax expense on the

EM 9. WHOLESALE GENERATORS AND FOREIGN UTILITY COMPANIES
PART I(b)

As discussed in SOUTHERN's Application on Form U-1 (File No. 70-9727) relating
to the spin-off of Mirant Corporation (Mirant), SOUTHERN and Mirant reorganized
certain energy-related and FUCO activities and Mirant completed a tax-free
distribution to SOUTHERN of these activities on March 5, 2001 (the "Mini-Spin").
On April 2, 2001, SOUTHERN completed the spin-off of its remaining ownership
interest in Mirant to SOUTHERN's shareholders. Therefore, the four indirect
subsidiaries (EPZ Lease, Inc., Dutch Gas Lease, Inc., GAMOG Lease, Inc. and NUON
Lease, Inc.) obtained through the Mini-Spin are the only remaining FUCO or EWG
investments held by SOUTHERN. Although it now owns all of the equity in these
companies as a result of the Mini-Spin, SOUTHERN has no direct or indirect
investment or any aggregate investment within the meaning of Rule 53 in these
FUCOs. SOUTHERN has executed limited keep-well commitments whereby SOUTHERN
would be required to make capital contributions to Southern Energy Finance
Capital Corp. or to Southern Energy Finance Company, Inc. in the event of a
shortfall in the scheduled debt service resulting from certain changes in the
payments due from SOUTHERN under the Southern Company Income Tax Allocation
Agreement. The maximum potential capital contribution required under these
commitments is the unamortized balance of the related loans, which totaled
approximately $414 million as of December 31, 2000.

RATIO  A/B...................................................n/a 1

(1)    At December 31, 2000, SOUTHERN's aggregate investment in EWGs and FUCOs
       under Rule 53 totaled approximately $2.420 billion (File No. 70-9869).
       However, following the completion of the spin-off of Mirant on April 2,
       2001 and as discussed in SOUTHERN's Application on Form U-1 (File No.
       70-9727) relating to the spin-off, SOUTHERN retained only four indirect
       subsidiaries (EPZ Lease, Inc., Dutch Gas Lease, Inc., GAMOG Lease, Inc.
       and NUON Lease, Inc.) that qualify as FUCOs and none that qualify as
       EWGs. SOUTHERN has no equity or debt investment within the meaning of
       Rule 53 in these four FUCO subsidiaries. SOUTHERN has executed limited
       keep-well commitments whereby SOUTHERN would be required to make capital
       contributions to Southern Energy Finance Capital Corp. or to Southern
       Energy Finance Company, Inc. in the event of a shortfall in the scheduled
       debt service resulting from certain changes in the payments due from
       SOUTHERN under the Southern Company Income Tax Allocation Agreement. The
       maximum potential capital contribution required under these commitments
       is the unamortized balance of the related loans, which totaled
       approximately $414 million as of December 31, 2000.

(2)    Following the completion of the Mirant spin off , SOUTHERN continues to
       guarantee certain foreign currency swap transactions for Mirant entities
       with EWG subsidiaries. At December 31, 2000, notional amounts under these
       swaps were the differences between (pound)44 million and $68 million and
       between DM370 million and $206 million; however, due to favorable
       exchange rates SOUTHERN had no exposure under these guarantees. The
       sterling and deutsche mark swaps expire in 2002 and 2003, respectively.
       After the spin off, Mirant will pay SOUTHERN a monthly fee of 1 percent
       on the average aggregate maximum principal amount of all guarantees
       outstanding until they are replaced or expire. Mirant must use reasonable
       efforts to release SOUTHERN from all such support arrangements and will
       indemnify SOUTHERN for any obligations incurred.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


         To The Southern Company:

                  We have audited the consolidated balance sheet and
         consolidated statement of capitalization of THE SOUTHERN COMPANY (a
         Delaware corporation) and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 2000,
         and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive
         income, retained earnings, paid-in capital, accumulated other
         comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (included
         in the 2000 annual report on Form 10-K, which is Exhibit A-1 to this
         Form U5S). These financial statements are the responsibility of the
         company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
         these financial statements based on our audit.

                  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards
         generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that
         we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
         whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
         audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
         amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also
         includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
         estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
         financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
         reasonable basis for our opinion.

                  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
         present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The
         Southern Company and subsidiary companies as of December 31, 2000, and
         the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
         ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
         the United States.
