                              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Citizens
Utilities Company and all subsidiaries after elimination of intercompany 
balances and transactions. All adjustments, which consist of only normal 
recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the 
interim periods have been made. Certain reclassifications of balances 
previously reported have been made to conform to current presentation.

(2)  Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding
shares, adjusted for subsequent stock dividends and stock splits. The effect 
on earnings per share of outstanding stock options is immaterial.

(3)  In accordance with applicable regulatory systems of account, an allowance
for funds used during construction is included in the cost of additions to
property, plant and equipment and is allowed in rate base for rate making
purposes. The allowance is not a cash item. The amount relating to equity is
included in Other income, net and the amount relating to borrowings is offset
against Interest expense.

(4)   Pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 115, the Company classifies its
investments into two categories, "held-to-maturity" and "available-for-sale". 
The Company records unrealized holding gains on securities classified as 
available-for-sale as an increase to investments.

The following summarizes the cost, unrealized gains and fair market value for
investments.
