         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           KEYSPAN ENERGY / EASTERN ENTERPRISES / ENERGYNORTH MERGERS

The unaudited pro forma consolidated  condensed balance sheet as of December 31,
1999 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed income statement for the
year ended  December  31, 1999  combine the  historical  information  of KeySpan
Corporation  d/b/a  KeySpan  Energy  ("KeySpan  Energy"),   Eastern  Enterprises
("Eastern")  and  EnergyNorth  Inc.  ("EnergyNorth").  The  unaudited  pro forma
consolidated  condensed  financial  statements have been prepared to reflect the
mergers  under the purchase  method of accounting  (KeySpan  Energy will acquire
Eastern  and  EnergyNorth).  Under the  purchase  method of  accounting,  assets
acquired and  liabilities  assumed are recorded at their  estimated fair values.
The excess of the purchase price, including estimated fees and expenses directly
related to the merger, in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired is
classified  as goodwill on the  accompanying  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated
condensed  balance  sheet.  The estimated fair values and useful lives of assets
acquired and  liabilities  assumed and any  resulting  goodwill,  are subject to
final  valuation  adjustments in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

The pro forma  adjustments  reflected in the  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated
condensed  balance sheet are as if the transactions had occurred on December 31,
1999. The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed income statement  assumes
that these  transactions  were  completed on January 1, 1999.  The unaudited pro
forma  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements assume that KeySpan Energy
will purchase all of the outstanding  common stock of Eastern for $64.00 in cash
and will purchase all of the outstanding  common stock of EnergyNorth for $61.13
in cash. The proposed  transactions are expected to close  contemporaneously  in
the third or fourth quarter of calendar year 2000.

On August 31,  1999,  Eastern  completed  a merger  with  Colonial  Gas  Company
("Colonial")  which was accounted for using the purchase  method of  accounting;
Eastern  was  the  acquiring  company  for  financial  reporting  purposes.  The
unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed income statement, therefore, reflects
the results of  operations  of Colonial for the four month  period  September 1,
1999 through December 31, 1999.

The  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated  condensed  financial  statements do not
reflect the  anticipated  cost savings that may be obtained from the elimination
of  duplicate  corporate  and  administrative  programs in  connection  with the
mergers or  operating  efficiencies  that may  result.  KeySpan  has  identified
before-tax synergy savings to be approximately $40 million annually.

Colonial,  Essex Gas Company ("Essex") and Midland Enterprises Inc.  ("Midland")
each have first mortgage obligations  outstanding that limit the amount of first
mortgage debt that can be issued.  Colonial's indenture restricts first mortgage
debt to 60% of bondable  additions,  as defined.  At December 31, 1999  Colonial
could issue approximately $74 million of additional first mortgage debt based on
this  restriction.  Essex's  indenture  restricts  first mortgage debt to 60% of
aggregate net additions  unfunded,  as defined. At December 31, 1999 Essex could
issue  approximately $14 million of additional first mortgage debt based on this
restriction. Midland's indenture restricts first preferred ship mortgage debt to
75% of the net book value of unmortgaged equipment. At December


<PAGE>



31, 1999  Midland  could issue  approximately  $59 million of  additional  first
preferred ship mortgage debt based on this restriction.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated  condensed  financial  statements
have been prepared from,  and should be read in conjunction  with the historical
consolidated  financial  statements and related notes thereto of KeySpan Energy,
Eastern and EnergyNorth. The following statements are not necessarily indicative
of the financial  position or operating results that would have occurred had the
proposed  transactions  been consummated on the date, or at the beginning of the
period, for which the proposed  transactions are being given effect nor are they
necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.

                        NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                   CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1.  CASH CONSIDERATION AND ESTIMATED GOODWILL RELATED TO THE
           EASTERN ENTERPRISES MERGER

Cash  consideration  to be paid to  Eastern  shareholders  will be paid from the
proceeds of long-term debt  issuances.  KeySpan Energy will issue  approximately
$1.7 billion of acquisition  financing at an estimated  annual  interest rate of
8.0% to finance the merger.  KeySpan Energy will acquire all of the  outstanding
common stock of Eastern for $64.00 per share.  If the closing of the merger does
not occur by August 6, 2000, the cash  consideration of $64.00 per share will be
increased  by $0.006 per share for each day after August 6, 2000 through the day
prior to the closing date. This aggregate  additional  amount will be reduced by
the  aggregate  amount of any per share  increase in any dividend  actually paid
that is attributable to any period in which the additional amount accrues.

The  estimated  goodwill  reflects the  recognition  of the excess amount of the
purchase  price over the fair value of the net assets to be  acquired  including
costs  to be  incurred  directly  related  to the  consummation.  The  following
represents the estimated goodwill calculation:

A final  determination  of goodwill  may  reflect  certain  purchase  accounting
adjustments  based on actuarial  valuations  related to employee  benefit plans,
estimates with respect to the effect of consolidation  of certain  corporate and
administrative functions, completion of studies related to environmental issues,
possible contract and asset impairment charges,  possible asset sales, and other
adjustments.

NOTE  2.ESTIMATED  TRANSACTION  COSTS  ASSOCIATED  WITH THE EASTERN  ENTERPRISES
        MERGER

KeySpan  Energy will incur  direct  expenses  related to the  merger,  including
accounting,  investment  banking,  legal  and  consulting  fees.  The pro  forma
adjustments  include an  estimate  for  KeySpan's  merger-related  costs of $8.1
million, which is included in goodwill.

NOTE 3.  ESTIMATED RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER COSTS

Eastern  expects  to incur  direct  expenses  related to the  merger,  including
accounting, investment banking, legal and consulting fees of approximately $13.9
million.  In addition,  Eastern expects to incur expenses of approximately $60.2
million for certain contractual  obligations (e.g. "change in control" payments)
and  nonqualified  stock options that will be "cashed out".  These costs will be
expensed as incurred by Eastern  and have been  included in the  calculation  of
estimated  goodwill.  Further,  certain  Eastern  options  will be  converted to
options to purchase  KeySpan Energy stock.  The estimated value of such options,
which are primarily fully vested, approximate $16.4 million and will be recorded
as additional  purchase price consideration by KeySpan Energy at the time of the
merger.

NOTE 4. INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest  expense  reflects  the  issuance  of  approximately  $1.7  billion  of
acquisition financing at an estimated annual interest rate of 8.0%. As discussed
in Note 1 "Cash  Consideration  and  Estimated  Goodwill  Related to the Eastern
Enterprises  Merger",  KeySpan Energy will issue debt to finance the merger with
Eastern.

NOTE 5. AMORTIZATION OF GOODWILL ASSOCIATED WITH THE EASTERN ENTERPRISES MERGER

Goodwill, which is not tax deductible, will be amortized over a 40 year period.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

Income taxes on the unaudited pro forma consolidated  condensed income statement
have been adjusted to reflect the tax deduction of interest expense at a rate of
35%.  A tax  benefit  has not been  provided  for  goodwill  since it is not tax
deductible.

NOTE 7. CASH  CONSIDERATION  AND ESTIMATED  GOODWILL  RELATED TO THE ENERGYNORTH
        MERGER

Cash consideration to be paid to EnergyNorth  shareholders will be paid from the
proceeds of long- term debt issuances.  KeySpan Energy will issue  approximately
$203.1 million in acquisition  financing at an estimated annual interest rate of
8.0% to finance the merger.  KeySpan Energy will acquire all of the  outstanding
common stock of EnergyNorth for $61.13 per share.  The cash  consideration to be
paid to  EnergyNorth  shareholders  is subject to a per share  increase  of .589
times the per share  increase  amount  above  $64.00  per share  paid to Eastern
shareholders.  The estimated  goodwill  reflects the  recognition  of the excess
amount of the  purchase  price over the fair  value of the net  assets  acquired
including  adjustments  for  costs  to  be  incurred  directly  related  to  the
consummation. The following represents the estimated goodwill calculation:
