CONNECTICUT WATER SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
PART I, ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CORPORATE RESOURCES
At June 30, 1996 the Company had approximately $5,900,000 of unused
lines of interim bank loan credit available.
RESULT OF OPERATIONS
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS HAD A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT UPON THE COMPANY'S NET
INCOME FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AS COMPARED WITH THE NET INCOME
FOR THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR.
Net income applicable to common stock for the three months ended June
30, 1996 increased from that of June 30, 1995 by $48,000, or $.01, per average
common share on an increased number of common shares. The improvement in net
income resulted from a $97,000 increase in operating revenue, a $42,000 increase
in other income, and a $10,000 decrease in interest and debt expense, partially
offset by a $101,000 increase in operating expense.
The increase in operating revenues is due to a $25,000 increase in
metered revenues, primarily resulting from increased residential consumption of
1.5%, and a $72,000 increase in unmetered revenues, primarily resulting from the
400 new customers acquired in August 1995 with the purchase of the Sound View
system.
The increase in other income is primarily due to an increase in AFUDC
relating to the Subsidiary's investment in the Sound View system. The 1995 DPUC
decision approving the Subsidiary's acquisition of the Sound View system allows
the capitalization of financing costs incurred by the Company for the
acquisition and improvements to the system in a manner similar to AFUDC until
the Subsidiary's next change in permanent rates.
Operating expenses increased 1.4%. The increased expenses include
normal increases in wages and salary expense, higher income taxes due to higher
taxable income, and increased depreciation due to increased plant in service,
partially offset by lower maintenance and property tax expense.
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS HAD A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT UPON THE COMPANY'S NET
INCOME FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AS COMPARED WITH THE NET INCOME
FOR THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR.
Net income applicable to common stock for the six months ended June 30,
1996 increased from that of June 30, 1995 by $89,000 on an increased number of
common shares. The improvement in net income resulted from a $365,000 increase
in operating revenue, a $89,000 increase in other income, and a $19,000 decrease
in interest and debt expense, partially offset by a $384,000 increase in
operating expense.
The increase in operating revenues is due to a $206,000 increase in
metered revenues, primarily resulting from a 2.3% increase in residential
consumption, and a $159,000 increase in unmetered revenues, primarily resulting
from the 400 new customers acquired in August 1995 with the purchase of the
Sound View system.
The increase in other income is primarily due to an increase in AFUDC
relating to the Subsidiary's investment in the Sound View system. The 1995 DPUC
decision approving the Subsidiary's acquisition of the Sound View system allows
the capitalization of financing costs incurred by the Company for the
acquisition and improvements to the system in a manner similar to AFUDC until
the Subsidiary's next change in permanent rates.
Operating expenses increased 2.8%. The increased expenses include
normal increases in wages and employee fringe benefit costs, higher income taxes
due to higher taxable income, and increased depreciation due to increased plant
in service, partially offset by lower property tax expense.
