EASTERN ENTERPRISES AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1995
1. Accounting policies
It is Eastern's opinion that the financial information contained in this report
reflects all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of results for
the periods reported. All of these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Results for the periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the year, due to the seasonal nature of Eastern's operations. Except for the
accounting for the investment in U.S. Filter, as described below, all accounting
policies have been applied in a manner consistent with prior periods. Such
financial information is subject to year-end adjustments and annual audit by
independent public accountants.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q. Therefore these interim
financial statements should be read in conjunction with Eastern's 1994 Annual
Report filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Investment in U.S. Filter
Eastern holds 3,041,092 common shares, which as of December 31, 1994 represented
18% of the voting stock of U.S. Filter. Since Eastern's acquisition of U.S.
Filter stock in December 1993, the latter has made several acquisitions which
have reduced Eastern's ownership percentage. Additionally, on April 26, 1995
U.S. Filter issued 6,000,000 common shares pursuant to a registration statement
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This issuance reduced
Eastern's voting interest to approximately 13%. Accordingly, beginning in the
first quarter of 1995, Eastern is accounting for its investment in U.S. Filter
under the cost method. Eastern previously accounted for this investment under
the equity method. Eastern has classified the U.S. Filter investment as a
security available for sale. Accordingly, the net unrealized gain of $12,934,000
computed in marking this security to market is reflected as a component of
shareholder's equity.
Earnings per share
Per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding and common equivalent shares. Quarter and year-to-date shares are
20,232,000 and 20,267,000, respectively, in 1995 and 20,969,000 and 20,975,000,
respectively, in 1994.

</TABLE>
4. Contingencies
In July 1995 Eastern received notice from the Social Security Administration
("SSA") claiming that Eastern is responsible for health benefit premiums for an
additional group of retired coal miners and their beneficiaries under the
federal Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992 ("Coal Act"). In 1993
Eastern recorded a reserve of $70,000,000 to provide for its estimated
undiscounted obligations under the Coal Act with respect to the miners and
beneficiaries assigned to Eastern at that time. This amount was reflected as an
extraordinary item of $45,500,000, net of tax. As more fully discussed in Note
12 of Notes to Financial Statements in Eastern's 1994 Annual Report, its
obligation could range from zero to more than $100 million. Due to a lack of
information about the recent assignment of the additional group of retired
miners and their beneficiaries and other issues, it is not known what the
ultimate cost of such assignment, if any, will be to Eastern, and no additional
provision has been made at this time.

======== ========
</TABLE>
Boston Gas
Warmer weather for the first six months of 1995 and other demand-related factors
decreased year-to-date revenues by $48 million. Weather for the first six months
of 1995 was slightly warmer than normal, as the 4% warmer than normal first
quarter weather was largely offset by 9% colder than normal weather during the
second quarter. In contrast, weather for first six months of 1994 was 8% colder
than normal, as the extremely cold first quarter was partially offset by 10%
warmer than normal temperatures in the second quarter. The impact of weather and
other demand-related factors was partially offset by the pass through of higher
gas costs, interruptible sales and sales to new firm customers.
Midland Enterprises
Revenues for the second quarter of 1995 were about the same as for 1994, as
higher rates offset a 6% decline in ton miles. Severe flooding on the
Mississippi River above St. Louis and the Illinois Waterway, from late May to
mid-June, contributed to the reduction in volume. For the first six months of
1995, revenues increased 12%, reflecting an improved market environment and
generally favorable operating conditions. Year-to-date ton miles increased 6% in
1995, reflecting strong first quarter production as compared to 1994 when severe
winter icing and floods negatively impacted operations.
Coal tonnage decreased 6% in the second quarter from the comparable period in
1994, due to reduced spot transportation, reflecting utilization of equipment in
non-coal markets and a mild winter which reduced utility requirements for coal.
For the first six months of 1995, coal tonnage increased 4%, with coal tonnage
under long-term contracts up 12% due to the settlement in July 1994 of a
contract dispute with a major customer that had curtailed shipments in the first
half of 1994. Non-coal tonnage increased 2% for the first six months of 1995,
reflecting the strong export grain market.

Boston Gas
The impact of warmer weather and other demand-related factors, partially offset
by lower operating expenses related to the warmer weather and on-going cost
containment measures, decreased operating earnings for the first six months of
1995 by about $8 million. Sales to new firm customers, the recognition of lost
margins associated with conservation programs and the recognition of revenues
associated with a reimbursement from New England Electric System for
environmental remediation expenditures more than offset increased charges for
depreciation, property taxes and an early retirement program. The early
retirement program was associated with an ongoing comprehensive corporate
reengineering project focused on improving customer service and lowering
operating costs.
Midland Enterprises
Operating earnings for the second quarter and first six months of 1995 were
favorably impacted by higher rates, particularly for grain, and improved
productivity. While volumes and operating efficiencies were negatively impacted
by flooding on the Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway during the second
quarter of 1995, operating conditions were generally better during the first
half of 1995 than during the previous year. Winter ice, high water and flooding
significantly increased operating costs during the first four months of 1994. As
a result, comparative operating earnings increased by 27% and 87% for the second
quarter and first six months of 1995, respectively.
During the second quarter of 1994, Midland recorded a pre-tax gain of $2.3
million on the sale of its Port Allen barge construction and shipyard facility
in Louisiana. This gain is included in Other, net on the Consolidated Statement
of Operations.
<PAGE>
Form 10-Q
Page 10.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Management believes that projected cash flow from operations, in combination
with currently available resources, is more than sufficient to meet Eastern's
1995 capital expenditure and working capital requirement, normal debt repayments
and anticipated dividend payments to shareholders.
On April 10, 1995 Eastern completed the previously announced sale of its
wholly-owned subsidiary, WaterPro Supplies Corporation, for $52.9 million in
cash.
On June 13, 1995 Boston Gas filed a shelf registration for the issuance of up to
$100 million of medium-term notes through December 1997 for the funding of
future capital expenditures and the refinancing of currently outstanding
indebtedness.
Consolidated capital expenditures are budgeted at approximately $82 million,
two-thirds of which are for Boston Gas and the balance for Midland.
In July 1995 Eastern received notice from the Social Security Administration
claiming that Eastern is responsible for health benefit premiums for an
additional group of retired coal miners and their beneficiaries under the
federal Coal Industry Retiree Health Benefit Act of 1992. As described in Note 4
of Notes to Financial Statements, the liability for these premiums could result
in an addition to the reserve and would be treated as an extraordinary item. No
provision has been made at this time because the amount of the additional
reserve, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated.
