NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by
CONNECTICUT WATER SERVICE, INC. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all
adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair
statement of the results for interim periods. Certain information and footnote
disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on 10-K.
The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the year since the consolidated earnings are subject
to seasonal factors.
2. Earnings per average common share are calculated by dividing net income
applicable to common stock by the average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the respective periods as detailed:

3. Adoption of SFAS 128 - In March 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS 128), which establishes new
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share. SFAS 128 is effective
for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 31, 1997, and
earlier adoption is not permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this
statement to have a material impact on the calculation of earnings per share.
PART I, ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
LIQUIDITY AND CORPORATE RESOURCES
At March 31, 1997 the Company had $3,904,000 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 MARCH 31, 1997 AS COMPARED WITH THE NET INCOME
FOR THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR.
Net income applicable to common stock for the three months ended March
31, 1997 increased from that of March 31, 1996 by $270,000, or $.08, per average
common share on an increased number of common shares. The improvement in net
income resulted from a $179,000 increase in operating income and a $139,000
increase in other income and deductions, partially offset by a $48,000 increase
in interest and debt expense.
The increase in operating income is due to a 3.8% decrease in operating
expense, partially offset by a .8% decrease in operating revenues.
The reduction in operating expense is primarily due to a reduction in
property and liability insurance premiums and a greater percentage of the
Subsidiary's overall labor activity being devoted to capital related projects.
The reduction in revenues is primarily due to a reduction in average residential
water consumption, in part due to the mild winter. Historically, residential
customers' water usage declines during mild winters and increases during colder
winters.
The increase in other income and deductions is primarily due to a
$72,000 net gain realized from the sale of real estate in the first quarter of
1997, and an increase in AFUDC relating to several of the Subsidiary's on-going
construction projects.
