ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

                  As previously reported on May 6 and 7, 1998, an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) issued Recommended  Decisions in the Metropolitan Edison Company
(Met-Ed) and Pennsylvania Electric Company (Penelec)  restructuring  proceedings
pending before the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PaPUC).

                  Reference  is made to the  Quarterly  Reports on Form 10-Q for
the  quarter  ended  March  31,  1998  filed by GPU for a  summary  of the ALJ's
recommendations which description is incorporated in this Report by reference.

                  On May 20, 1998,  Met-Ed and Penelec  filed  exceptions to the
ALJ's Recommended Decisions.  In their filings,  Met-Ed and Penelec have argued,
among other  things,  that the  recommendations,  if adopted,  would  improperly
disallow a significant  portion of their  transmission  and  distribution  (T&D)
costs,  leaving the  companies  with  virtually  no  earnings  on their  primary
business.  Moreover,  the ALJ's  recommendations fail to assure full recovery of
non-utility  generation  (NUG)  costs by  calculating  these  costs based upon a
projected  market  line,  which could  change over time.  Met-Ed and Penelec had
proposed a separate  mechanism to recover  above-market NUG costs over the terms
of the related contracts. In their exceptions,  Met-Ed and Penelec further argue
that the ALJ's  recommendations  are  contrary  to the  federal  Public  Utility
Regulatory  Policies Act of 1978 which requires full cost recovery for these NUG
contracts which were mandated by federal and state law. As previously  reported,
if the PaPUC were to adopt the ALJ's recommendations,  it would result in Met-Ed

and Penelec incurring write-offs in material amounts.

                  The PaPUC is scheduled to take a  preliminary  vote on the
ALJ's  Recommended  Decision on June 4 and final action on June 24.

                  There can be no assurance of the outcome of these proceedings.

                  GPU's related news release is annexed as an exhibit.
