                              NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



INSTRUCTIONS:  The space below is provided for important notes regarding the
               financial statements or any account thereof.  Furnish
               particulars as to any significant contingent assets or
               liabilities existing at the end of the year.  Notes relating
               to financial statements shown elsewhere in this report may be
               indicated here by reference.


1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     GENERAL
     Northeast Utilities Service Company (NUSCO or the company), a wholly owned
     subsidiary of Northeast Utilities (NU), supplies centralized accounting,
     administrative, data processing, engineering, financial, legal,
     operational, planning, purchasing, and other services to the system
     companies of NU.

     The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P), Public Service Company of
     New Hampshire (PSNH), Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO),
     Holyoke Water Power Company (HWP), and North Atlantic Energy Corporation
     (NAEC) are the operating subsidiaries of the Northeast Utilities system
     (the system) and are wholly owned by NU.

     PUBLIC UTILITY REGULATION
     NU is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
     holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (the
     1935 Act), and it and its subsidiaries, including NUSCO, are subject to
     the provisions of the 1935 Act.
     
     DEPRECIATION
     The provision for depreciation is calculated using the straight-line
     method based on estimated remaining lives of depreciable utility
     plant-in-service, adjusted for salvage value and removal costs as approved
     by the appropriate regulatory agency.  Depreciation factors are applied to
     the average plant-in-service during the period.  The depreciation rates
     for the several classes of plant-in-service are equivalent to a composite
     rate of 6.0 percent in 1995 and 4.2 percent in 1994.  When plant is
     retired from service, the original cost of the plant, including costs of
     removal, less salvage is charged to the accumulated provision for
     depreciation.

2.   LEASES

     NUSCO has entered into lease agreements for the use of data processing,
     office equipment, vehicles, and office space.  The provisions of these
     lease agreements generally provide for renewal options.  For the purposes
     of this report, all leases are accounted for as operating leases.  At
     December 31, 1995, assuming those leases which would have been classified
     as capital leases were capitalized at the beginning of the lease terms,
     assets would have increased by approximately $760,000, current liabilities
     would have increased by approximately $539,000, and long-term obligations
     would have increased by $221,000.  There is no effect on NUSCO's results
     of operations.

     Rental payments charged to operating expenses for 1995 and 1994 amounted
     to approximately $936,163 and  $1,327,000, respectively, for capital
     leases and $17,122,000 and  $16,642,000, respectively, for operating
     leases.

     Interest included in capital lease rental payments for 1995 and 1994 was
     approximately $84,600 and $110,000,  respectively.
     Future minimum rental payments, under long-term noncancelable leases as of
     December 31, 1995, excluding executory costs such as property taxes, state
     use taxes, insurance, and maintenance are approximately:

3.   SHORT-TERM DEBT

     Certain subsidiaries of NU are members of the Northeast Utilities System
     Money Pool (Pool).  The Pool provides a more efficient use of the cash
     resources of the system, and reduces outside short-term borrowings.  NUSCO
     is not permitted to borrow from the Pool but administers the Pool as agent
     for the member companies.  Short-term borrowing needs of the member
     companies are first met with available funds of other member companies,
     including funds borrowed by NU parent.  NU parent may lend to the Pool but
     may not borrow.  Funds may be withdrawn from or repaid to the Pool at any
     time without prior notice.  However, borrowings based on loans from NU
     parent bear interest at NU parent's cost and must be repaid based upon the
     terms of NU parent's original borrowing.  Investing and borrowing
     subsidiaries receive or pay interest based on the average daily Federal
     Funds rate.

4.   PENSION BENEFITS

     The company participates in a uniform noncontributory-defined benefit
     retirement plan covering all regular system employees (the plan).
     Benefits are based on years of service and employees' highest eligible
     compensation during five years of employment.  The company's direct
     portion of the system's pension cost approximated $0.7 million in 1995
     and $(0.3) in 1994.

     Currently, NUSCO funds annually an amount at least equal to that which
     will satisfy the requirements of the Employee Retirement  Income Security
     Act and the Internal Revenue Code.  Pension costs are determined using
     market-related values of pension assets.  Pension assets are invested
     primarily in domestic and international equity securities and bonds.

     The following actuarial assumptions were used in calculating the plan's
     year-end funded status:

5.   POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS

     The company provides certain health care benefits, primarily medical and
     dental, and life insurance benefits through a benefit plan to retired
     employees (referred to as of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
     (SFAS) 106 benefits).  These benefits are available for employees leaving
     the system who have met specified service requirements.  Total SFAS 106
     benefits, part of which was deferred or charged to plant, approximated
     $7.9 million in 1995 and $8.7 million in 1994.

     On January 1, 1993, the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation
     (APBO) represented the system's transition obligation upon the adoption of
     SFAS 106.  As allowed by SFAS 106, the company is amortizing its
     transition obligation of approximately $52 million over a 20-year period.
     For current employees and certain retirees, the total SFAS 106 benefit is
     limited to two times the 1993 per retiree health care costs.  The SFAS 106
     obligation has been calculated based on this assumption.

     During 1993, the company began funding SFAS 106 postretirement costs
     through external trusts.  The company is funding annually amounts equal to
     the SFAS 106 costs for the year which also are tax-deductible under the
     Internal Revenue Code.  The trust assets are invested primarily in equity
     securities and bonds.

     The components of SFAS 106 benefit costs are:

     The following actuarial assumptions were used in calculating the plan's
     year-end funded status:
     At December 31,                                       1995      1994

     (a)The annual  growth in per capita cost of covered health care benefits
        was assumed to decrease to 5.4 percent by 2001.

     The effect of increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one
     percentage point in each year would increase the APBO as of December 31,
     1995 by approximately $2.9 million and the aggregate of the service and
     interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for
     the year then ended by $283,000.  The trust holding the plan assets is
     subject to federal income taxes at a 35 percent tax rate.

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM

     The construction program is subject to periodic review and revision.

     NUSCO currently forecasts construction expenditures of approximately $22.8
     million for the years 1996-2000, including approximately $18.6 million for
     1996.

7.   ELECTRIC POWER BROKERING, MARKETING, OR OTHER EXPENSES OR ACTIVITIES

     Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 24 under the 1935 Act, NUSCO files
     this annual report as required by the SEC's order authorizing certain
     electric power brokering, marketing and other activities (HCAR Rules No.
     26359, August 18, 1995, File No. 70-8641).  For the period of August 18,
     1995 (the initial authorization date) through December 31, 1995, there
     were no electric power brokering, marketing or other expenses or
     activities for NUSCO.
