(E)  The Employees' Retirement Plan of Eastern Utilities Associates and its
    Affiliated companies (the "Pension Plan") is a tax-qualified defined
    benefit plan available to employees who have completed one year of service
    and have attained the age of twenty-one.  All of the officers referred to
    in the Summary Compensation Table above participate in the Pension Plan.
    Trustees who are not also employees of the Association and its subsidiaries
    (the "EUA System") are not covered by the Pension Plan.  The benefits of
    participants become fully vested after five years of service.  Annual
    lifetime benefits are determined under formulas applicable to all
    employees, regardless of position, and the amounts depend on length of
    credited service and salaries prior to retirement.  Benefits are equal to
    one and six tenths percent of salaries (averaged over the four years
    preceding retirement) for each year of credited service up to thirty-five,
    reduced for each year by one and two tenths percent of the participants'
    estimated age sixty-five Social Security benefit, plus seventy-five
    hundredths percent of salaries for each year of credited service in excess
    of thirty-five years up to the Pension Plan maximum of forty years.

    Any contributions to provide benefits under the Pension Plan are made by
the EUA System in amounts determined by the Pension Plan's actuaries to meet
the funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended.  Any contributions are actuarially determined and
cannot appropriately be allocated to individual participants.  The annual
benefits shown in the tables below are straight life annuity amounts, without
reduction for primary Social Security benefits as described above.  Federal law
limits the annual benefits payable from qualified pension plans in the form of
a life annuity, after reduction for Social Security benefits, to $120,000 (for
1995 and 1996) plus adjustments for increases in the cost of living.  The
number of years of service credited at present under the Plan to Messrs.
Pardus, Stevens, Carney, Powderly and Burns are thirty-three, thirty,
twenty-nine, sixteen and twenty, respectively.

     The Association has a Key Executive Plan for certain officers of the
Association and its subsidiaries.  This plan provides for the annual payment
of supplemental retirement benefits equal to 25% of the officer's base salary
when he retires, for a period of fifteen (15) years following the date of
retirement.  In addition, in the event of the death of the participant prior
to retirement an amount equal to 200% of the officer's base salary at that
time will be paid to his beneficiary.  A grantor trust has been established by
the Association to help ensure the performance of its payment obligations
under the Key Executive Plan.  Any amounts not covered by trust payments or
otherwise will be paid from funds available to the EUA System.

     The Association maintains a non-qualified, unfunded retirement plans
("The Restoration Plans") to restore benefits under the qualified plans'
formulas which are not covered under the qualified plan trusts due to federal
limitations on either earnings, contributions or benefits.  Payments or
contributions which exceed the applicable federal limitations are made outside
the qualified plans in the same manner and under the same conditions as are
applicable to benefits payable from, or contributions payable to, the qualified
plans.  A grantor trust has been established by the Association to ensure the
performance of its payment obligations under these plans. Any amounts not
covered by trust payments or otherwise will be paid from funds available to the
EUA System.

      Severance agreements with executive officers of the Association and
certain of its affiliates provide that an officer's rate of compensation,
benefits, responsibilities and other conditions of employment will not be
reduced during the term of the agreement, which is thirty-six months commencing
upon the date on which a Change in Control, as defined in the agreements, of
the Association occurs.  If within thirty-six months after a Change in Control
the officer's employment is terminated for any reason other than Cause, as
defined in the agreements, the Association will, (i) pay the officer within
five business days a lump-sum cash amount generally equal to the present value
of the additional wages and retirement benefits that the executive would have
received in return for completing and additional three years of service, (ii)
continue or vest certain fringe benefits and common share grants, (iii)
reimburse legal fees and expenses incurred as a result of the termination or to
enforce the provisions of the severance agreement and (iv) reimburse for a
portion of the taxes on certain of the foregoing payments, including any amount
contributing a "parachute payment" under the Internal Revenue Code.  If the
officer leaves the employ of the Association or a subsidiary following a
reduction in his position, compensation, responsibilities, authority or other
benefits existing prior to the Change in Control, or suffers a relocation of
regular employment of more than fifty miles, such departure will be deemed to
be a termination for reason other than Cause.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements December 31, 1995

(A) Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies:

General:  Eastern Utilities Associates (EUA) is a diversified energy services
holding company.  Its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the generation,
transmission, distribution and sale of electricity; energy related services
such as energy management; and promoting the conservation and efficient use of
energy.

Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Consolidation:  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of EUA and all subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions
between the consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.

System of Accounts:  The accounts of EUA and its consolidated subsidiaries are
maintained in accordance with the uniform system of accounts prescribed by the
regulatory bodies having jurisdiction.

Jointly Owned Companies:  Montaup Electric Company (Montaup) follows the equity
method of accounting for its stock ownership investments in jointly owned
companies including four regional nuclear generating companies.  Montaup's
investments in these nuclear generating companies range from 2.25% to 4.50%.
Montaup is entitled to electricity produced from these facilities based on its
ownership interests and is billed for its entitlement pursuant to contractual
agreements which are approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC).

One of the four facilities is being decommissioned, but Montaup is required to
pay, and has received FERC authorization to recover, its proportionate share of
any unrecovered costs and costs incurred after the plant's retirement.
Montaup's share of all unrecovered assets and the total estimated costs to
decommission the unit aggregated approximately $10.1 million at December 31,
1995 and is included with Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Also, due to recoverability, a regulatory asset has been recorded for the same
amount and is included with Other Assets.

Montaup also has a stock ownership investment of 3.27% in each of two companies
which own and operate certain transmission facilities between the Hydro Quebec
electric system and New England.

EUA Ocean State Corporation (EUA Ocean State) follows the equity method of
accounting for its 29.9% partnership interest in the Ocean State Power Project
(OSP).  EUA Ocean State's investment in OSP and Montaup's stock ownership
investments are included in "Investments in Jointly Owned Companies" on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Plant and Depreciation:  Utility plant is stated at original cost.  The cost of
additions to utility plant includes contracted work, direct labor and material,
allocable overhead, allowance for funds used during construction and indirect
charges for engineering and supervision.  For financial statement purposes,
depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based on estimated useful
lives of the various classes of property.  On a consolidated basis, provisions
for depreciation on utility plant were equivalent to a composite rate of
approximately 3.3% in 1995 based on the average depreciable property balances
at the beginning and end of each year.  Non-utility property and equipment of
EUA Cogenex Corporation (EUA Cogenex) is stated at original cost.  For
financial statement purposes, depreciation on office furniture and equipment,
computer equipment and real property is computed on the straight-line method
based on estimated useful lives ranging from five to forty years.  Project
equipment is depreciated over the term of the applicable contracts or based on
the estimated useful lives, whichever is shorter, ranging from five to fifteen
years.

Other Assets:  The components of Other Assets at December 31, 1995 are detailed
as follows:


(In Thousands)                                      1995

     Total regulatory assets                        91,014
Other deferred charges and assets:
     Unamortized debt expenses                       5,349
     Goodwill                                        7,054
     Other                                          20,637
     Total Other Assets                          $ 124,054


Regulatory Accounting:  EUA's Core Electric companies are subject to certain
accounting rules that are not applicable to other industries.  These accounting
rules allow regulated companies, in appropriate circumstances, to establish
regulatory assets and liabilities which defer the current financial impact of
certain costs that are expected to be recovered in future rates.  EUA believes
that its Core Electric operations continue to meet the criteria established in
these accounting standards.  Effects of legislation and/or regulatory
initiatives or EUA's own initiatives such as "Choice and Competition" could
ultimately cause the Core Electric companies to no longer follow these
accounting rules.  In such an event, a non-cash write-off of regulatory assets
and liabilities could be required at that time.

Allowance for Funds Used During Construction (AFUDC) and Capitalized Interest:
AFUDC represents the estimated cost of borrowed and equity funds used to
finance the EUA System's construction program.  In accordance with regulatory
accounting, AFUDC is capitalized as a cost of utility plant in the same manner
as certain general and administrative costs.  AFUDC is not an item of current
cash income but is recovered over the service life of utility plant in the form
of increased revenues collected as a result of higher depreciation expense.
The combined rate used in calculating AFUDC was 9.2% in 1995.  The caption
"Allowance for Borrowed Funds Used During Construction" also includes interest
capitalized for non-regulated entities in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 34.

Operating Revenues:  Utility revenues are based on billing rates authorized by
applicable federal and state regulatory commissions.  Eastern Edison Company
(Eastern Edison), Blackstone Valley Electric Company (Blackstone) and Newport
Electric Corporation (Newport) (collectively, the Retail Subsidiaries) accrue
the estimated amount of unbilled base rate revenues at the end of each month to
match costs and revenues more closely.  In addition they also record the
difference between fuel costs incurred and fuel costs billed.  Montaup
recognizes revenues when billed.  Montaup, Blackstone, and Newport also record
revenues related to rate adjustment mechanisms.

EUA Cogenex's revenues are recognized based on financial arrangements
established by each individual contract.  Under paid-from-savings contracts,
revenues are recognized as energy savings are realized by customers.  Revenue
from the sale of energy savings projects and sales-type leases are recognized
when the sales are complete.  Interest on the financing portion of the
contracts is recognized as earned at rates established at the outset of the
financing arrangement.  All construction and installation costs are recognized
as contract expenses when the contract revenues are recorded.  In circumstances
in which material uncertainties exist as to contract profitability, cost
recovery accounting is followed and revenues received under such contracts are
first accounted for as recovery of costs to the extent incurred.

Federal Income Taxes:  EUA and its subsidiaries generally reflect in income the
estimated amount of taxes currently payable, and provide for deferred taxes on
certain items subject to temporary timing differences to the extent permitted
by the various regulatory agencies.  EUA's rate-regulated subsidiaries defer
recognition of annual investment tax credits (ITC) and amortize these credits
over the productive lives of the related assets.

Cash and Temporary Cash Investments:  EUA considers all highly liquid
investments and temporary cash investments with a maturity of three months or
less when acquired to be cash equivalents.

New Accounting Standard:  In March 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (FAS 121), effective for
fiscal year 1996.  FAS 121 requires all regulatory assets, assets which were
established as a result of high probability of recovery in a regulated
environment, to continue to meet that high probability of recovery at each
balance sheet date.  Based on the current regulatory framework, management does
not expect that adoption of this standard will have a material effect on EUA's
financial position or results of operation.  However, this assumption may
change in the future as changes are made in the current regulatory framework or
as competitive factors influence wholesale and retail pricing in the electric
utility industry.

(B) Income Taxes:

EUA adopted FASB statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109)
which required recognition of deferred income taxes for temporary differences
that are reported in different years for financial reporting and tax purposes
using the liability method.  Under the liability method, deferred tax
liabilities or assets are computed using the tax rates that will be in effect
when temporary differences reverse.  Generally, for regulated companies, the
change in tax rates may not be immediately recognized in operating results
because of rate-making treatment and provisions in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
At December 31, 1995, no valuation allowance was deemed necessary for total
deferred tax assets.  Total deferred tax assets and liabilities for 1995 are
comprised as follows:

                    Deferred Tax                          Deferred Tax

     Total          $45,312                Total            $185,661

As of December 31, 1995,  EUA has recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet a
regulatory liability to ratepayers of approximately $27.2 million.  This amount
primarily represents excess deferred income taxes resulting from the reduction
in the federal income tax rate and also include deferred taxes provided on
investment tax credits.  Also at December 31, 1995, a regulatory asset of
approximately $48.2 million has been recorded, representing the cumulative
amount of federal income taxes on temporary depreciation differences which were
previously flowed through to ratepayers.

EUA has $9.3 million of alternative minimum tax credits which have no
expiration and can be utilized to reduce the consolidated regular tax
liability.

    Components of income tax expense for 1995 are as follows:

The preferred stock provisions of the Retail Subsidiaries place certain
restrictions upon the payment of dividends on common stock by each company. At
December 31, 1995 each company was in excess of the minimum requirements which
would make these restrictions effective.

In the event of involuntary liquidation, the holders of non-redeemable
preferred stock of the Retail Subsidiaries are entitled to $100 per share plus
accrued dividends.  In the event of voluntary liquidation, or if redeemed at
the option of these companies, each share of the non-redeemable preferred stock
is entitled to accrued dividends plus the following:

Company          Issue        Amount
Blackstone:    4.25% issue    $104.40
               5.60% issue     103.82
Newport:       3.75% issue     103.50

(D) Redeemable Preferred Stock:

Eastern Edison's 6 5/8% Preferred Stock issue is entitled to an annual
mandatory sinking fund sufficient to redeem 15,000 shares commencing September
1, 2003. The redemption price is $100 per share plus accrued dividends.  All
outstanding shares of the 6 5/8% issue are subject to mandatory redemption on
September 1, 2008, at a price of $100 per share plus accrued dividends.

In the event of liquidation, the holders of Eastern Edison's 6 5/8% Preferred
Stock are entitled to $100 per share plus accrued dividends.

Newport's 9.75% Preferred Stock issue is entitled to a mandatory sinking fund
sufficient to redeem 500 shares during each twelve-month period until the year
1999.  The balance of  any shares outstanding must be redeemed by the year
2000.  The redemption price is $100 per share plus accrued dividends.  In the
event of involuntary liquidation, the holders of Newport's redeemable preferred
stock are entitled to $100 per share plus accrued dividends.  In the event of
voluntary liquidation, or if redeemed at the option of Newport, the holders of
the 9.75% issue are entitled to $102.44 per share plus accrued dividends prior
to October 1, 1998; thereafter no premium is payable upon such redemption.

The aggregate amount of redeemable preferred stock sinking fund requirements
for each of the five years following 1995 are $50,000 for 1996, $40,000 for
1997 and zero for 1998, 1999 and  2000.

(E) Long-Term Debt:

The various mortgage bond issues of Blackstone, Eastern Edison, and Newport are
collateralized by substantially all of their utility plant.  In addition,
Eastern Edison's bonds are collateralized by securities of Montaup, which are
wholly-owned by Eastern Edison, in the principal amount of approximately $236
million.

Blackstone's Variable Rate Demand Bonds are collateralized by an irrevocable
letter of credit which expires on January 21, 1997.  The letter of credit
permits an extension of one year upon mutual agreement of the bank and
Blackstone.

Newport's Variable Rate Electric Energy Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds are
collateralized by an irrevocable Letter of Credit which expires on January 6,
1997, and permits an extension of one year upon mutual agreement of the Bank
and Newport.  EUA Service Corporation's (EUA Service) 10.2% Secured Notes due
2008 are collateralized by certain real estate and property of the company.

In December, Eastern Edison used available cash to redeem $25 million of 9-9
1/4% Unsecured Medium Term Notes at maturity, and $10 million of 8.90% First
Mortgage and Collateral Trust Bonds at maturity.

The EUA System's aggregate amount of current cash sinking fund requirements and
maturities of long-term debt, (excluding amounts that may be satisfied by
available property additions) for each of the five years following 1995 are:
$19.5 million in 1996, $27.5 million in 1997, $72.5 million in 1998, $21.9
million in 1999, and $62.5 million in 2000.

(F) Fair Value Of Financial Instruments:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate:
Cash and Temporary Cash Investments:  The carrying amount approximates fair
value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Long Term Notes Receivable and Net Investment in Sales-Type Leases:   The
carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the nature of the asset.

Preferred Stock and Long-Term Debt of Subsidiaries:  The fair value of the
System's redeemable preferred stock and long-term debt were based on quoted
market prices for such securities at December 31, 1995.

(J) Commitments And Contingencies:

Nuclear Fuel Disposal and Nuclear Plant Decommissioning Costs:
The owners (or lead participants) of the nuclear units in which Montaup  has an
interest have made, or expect to make, various arrangements for the acquisition
of uranium concentrate, the conversion, enrichment, fabrication and utilization
of nuclear fuel and the disposition of that fuel after use.  The owners (or
lead participants) of United States nuclear units have entered into contracts
with the Department of Energy (DOE) for disposal of spent nuclear fuel in
accordance with the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA).  The NWPA requires
(subject to various contingencies) that the federal government design, license,
construct and operate a permanent repository for high level radioactive wastes
and spent nuclear fuel and establish a prescribed fee for the disposal of such
wastes and nuclear fuel.  The NWPA specifies that the DOE provide for the
disposal of such waste and spent nuclear fuel starting in 1998.  Objections on
environmental and other grounds have been asserted against proposals for
storage as well as disposal of spent nuclear fuel.  The DOE now estimates that
a permanent disposal site for spent fuel will not be ready to accept fuel for
storage or disposal until as late as the year 2010.  Montaup owns a 4.01%
interest in Millstone Unit 3 and a 2.9% interest in Seabrook Unit 1. Northeast
Utilities, the operator of the units, indicates that Millstone Unit 3 has
sufficient on-site storage facilities which, with rack additions, can
accommodate its spent fuel for the projected life of the unit.  At the Seabrook
Project, there is on-site storage capacity which, with rack additions, will be
sufficient to at least the year 2011.

The Energy Policy Act requires that a fund be created for the decommissioning
and decontamination of the DOE uranium enrichment facilities.  The fund will be
financed in part by special assessments on nuclear power plants in which
Montaup has an interest.  These assessments are calculated based on the
utilities' prior use of the government facilities and have been levied by the
DOE, starting in September 1993, and will continue over 15 years.  This cost is
passed on to the joint owners or power buyers as an additional fuel charge on a
monthly basis and is currently being recovered by Montaup through rates.

Also, Montaup is recovering through rates its share of estimated
decommissioning costs for Millstone Unit 3 and Seabrook Unit 1.  Montaup's
share of the current estimate of total costs to decommission Millstone Unit 3
is $19.2 million in 1995 dollars, and Seabrook Unit 1 is $12.5 million in 1995
dollars.  These figures are based on studies performed for the lead owners of
the plants.  Montaup also pays into decommissioning reserves pursuant to
contractual arrangements with other nuclear generating facilities in which it
has an equity ownership interest or life of the unit entitlement.  Such
expenses are currently recoverable through rates.

Pensions:  EUA maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan
covering substantially all employees of the EUA System (Retirement Plan).
Retirement Plan benefits are based on years of service and average compensation
over the four years prior to retirement.  It is the EUA System's policy to fund
the Retirement Plan on a current basis in amounts determined to meet the
funding standards established by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.

Net pension expense for the Retirement Plan, including amounts related to the
1995 voluntary retirement incentive offer, for 1995, included the following
components:

The discount rate and compensation increase rate used to determine post-pension
costs were changed effective January 1, 1996 to 7.25% and 4.25% respectively,
and were used to calculate the plan's funded status at December 31, 1995.

The one-time voluntary retirement incentive also resulted in $1.6 million of
non-qualified pension benefits which were expensed in 1995.  At December 31,
1995, approximately $1.5 million was included in other liabilities for these
unfunded benefits.

EUA also maintains non-qualified supplemental retirement plans for certain
officers of the EUA System (Supplemental Plans).  Benefits provided under the
Supplemental Plans are based primarily on compensation at retirement date.  EUA
maintains life insurance on certain participants of the Supplemental Plans to
fund in whole, or in part, its future liabilities under the Supplemental Plans.
As of December 31, 1995, approximately $3.4 million was included in accrued
expenses and other liabilities for these plans.  For the years ended December
31, 1995, expenses related to the Supplemental Plans were $1.5 million.

Post-Retirement Benefits:  Retired employees are entitled to participate in
health care and life insurance benefit plans.  Health care benefits are subject
to deductibles and other limitations.  Health care and life insurance benefits
are partially funded by EUA System companies for all qualified employees.

The EUA System adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 106,
"Accounting for Post-Retirement Benefits Other  Than Pensions," (FAS 106) as of
January 1, 1993.  This standard establishes accounting and reporting standards
for such post-retirement benefits as health care and life insurance.  Under FAS
106 the present value of future benefits is recorded as a periodic expense over
employee service periods through the date they become fully eligible for
benefits.  With respect to periods prior to adopting FAS 106, EUA elected to
recognize accrued costs (the Transition Obligation) over a period of 20 years,
as permitted by FAS 106.  The resultant annual expense, including amortization
of the Transition Obligation and net of capitalized and deferred amounts, was
approximately $6.3 million in 1995.

The total cost of post-retirement benefits other than pensions for 1995
includes the following components:

($ in thousands)                              1995

The discount rate and compensation increase rate used to determine
post-retirement benefit costs were changed effective January 1, 1996 to 7.25%
and 4.25%, respectively, and were used to calculate the funded status of
post-retirement benefits at December 31, 1995.

Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rate by 1% each year would
increase the total post-retirement benefit cost for 1995 by $0.8 million and
increase the total accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation by $8.1
million.

The EUA System has also established separate irrevocable external Voluntary
Employees' Beneficiary Association Trust Funds for union and non-union
retirees.  Contributions to the funds commenced in March 1993 and totaled
approximately $7.1 million during 1995, $6.7 million in 1994 and $6.0 million
in 1993.

Long-Term Purchased Power Contracts:  The EUA System is committed under
long-term purchased power contracts, expiring on various dates through
September 2021, to pay demand charges whether or not energy is received.  Under
terms in effect at December 31, 1995, the aggregate annual minimum commitments
for such contracts are approximately $129 million in 1996 and 1997, $12 million
in 1998, $127 million in 1999, $123 million in 2000 and will aggregate $1.4
billion for the ensuing years.  In addition, the EUA System is required to pay
additional amounts depending on the actual amount of energy received under such
contracts.  The demand costs associated with these contracts are reflected as
Purchased Power-Demand on the Consolidated Statement of Income.  Such costs are
currently recoverable through rates.

Environmental Matters:  The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, as amended by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986, and certain similar state statutes authorize
various governmental authorities to seek court orders compelling responsible
parties to take cleanup action at disposal sites which have been determined by
such governmental authorities to present an imminent and substantial danger to
the public and to the environment because of an actual or threatened release of
hazardous substances.  Because of the nature of the EUA System's business,
various by-products and substances are produced or handled which are classified
as hazardous under the rules and regulations promulgated by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as state and local authorities.
The EUA System generally provides for the disposal of such substances through
licensed contractors, but these statutory provisions generally impose potential
joint and several responsibility on the generators of the wastes for cleanup
costs.  Subsidiaries of EUA have been notified with respect to a number of
sites where they may be responsible for such costs, including sites where they
may have joint and several liability with other responsible parties.  It is the
policy of the EUA System companies to notify liability insurers and to initiate
claims.  EUA is unable to predict whether liability, if any, will be assumed
by, or can be enforced against, the insurance carrier in these matters.

    On December 13, 1994, the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts (District Court) issued a judgment against Blackstone, finding
Blackstone liable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Commonwealth) for the
full amount of response costs incurred by the Commonwealth in the cleanup of a
by-product of manufactured gas at a site at Mendon Road in Attleboro,
Massachusetts.  The judgment also found Blackstone liable for interest and
litigation expenses calculated to the date of judgment.  The total liability is
approximately $5.9 million, including approximately $3.6 million in interest
which has accumulated since 1985.  Due to the uncertainty of the ultimate
outcome of this proceeding and anticipated recoverability, Blackstone recorded
the $5.9 million District Court judgment as a deferred debit.  This amount is
included with Other Assets at December 31, 1995 and 1994.

    Blackstone filed a Notice of Appeal of the District Court's judgment and
filed its brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit
(First Circuit) on February 24, 1995.  On October 6, 1995 the First Circuit
vacated the District Court's judgment and ordered the District Court to refer
the matter to the EPA to determine whether the chemical substance, ferric
ferrocyanide (FFC), contained within the by-product is a hazardous substance.

    On January 20, 1995, Blackstone entered into an escrow agreement with the
Commonwealth whereby Blackstone deposited $5.9 million with an escrow agent who
transferred the funds into an interest bearing money market account.  The
distribution of the proceeds of the escrow account will be determined upon the
final resolution of the judgment.  No additional interest expense will accrue
on the judgment amount.

    On January 28, 1994, Blackstone filed a complaint in the District Court,
seeking, among other relief, contribution and reimbursement from Stone &
Webster Inc., of New York City and several of its affiliated companies (Stone &
Webster), and Valley Gas Company of Cumberland, Rhode Island (Valley) for any
damages incurred by Blackstone regarding the Mendon Road site. On November 7,
1994, the court denied motions to dismiss the complaint which were filed by
Stone & Webster and Valley.  This proceeding was stayed in December 1995
pending final EPA determination as to whether FFC is hazardous.

    In addition, Blackstone has notified certain liability insurers and has
filed claims with respect to the Mendon Road site, as well as other sites.
Blackstone reached settlement with one carrier for reimbursement of legal costs
related to the Mendon Road case.  In January 1996, Blackstone received $1.2
million in connection with this settlement.

    As of December 31, 1995, the EUA System had incurred costs of approximately
$4.6 million (excluding the $5.9 million Mendon Road judgment) in connection
with these sites, substantially all of which relate to Blackstone.  These
amounts have been financed primarily by internally generated cash.  Blackstone
is currently amortizing all of its incurred costs over a five-year period
consistent with prior regulatory recovery periods and is recovering certain of
those costs in rates.

    EUA estimates that additional costs of up to $3.0 million (excluding the
$5.9 million Mendon Road judgment) may be incurred at these sites through 1997
by its subsidiaries and the other responsible parties.  Of this amount,
approximately $2.5 million relates to sites at which Blackstone is a
potentially responsible party.  Estimates beyond 1997 cannot be made since site
studies, which are the basis of these estimates, have not been completed.

    As a result of the recoverability of cleanup costs in rates and the
uncertainty regarding both its estimated liability, as well as its potential
contributions from insurance carriers and other responsible parties, EUA does
not believe that the ultimate impact of the environmental costs will be
material to the financial position of the EUA System or to any individual
subsidiary and thus no loss provision is required at this time.

    The Clean Air Act created new regulatory programs and generally updated and
strengthened air pollution control laws.  These amendments will expand the
regulatory role of the EPA regarding emissions from electric generating
facilities and a host of other sources.  EUA System generating facilities were
first affected in 1995, when EPA regulations took effect for facilities owned
by the EUA System.  Montaup's coal-fired Somerset Unit #6 is utilizing lower
sulfur content coal to meet the 1995 air standards.  EUA does not anticipate
the impact from the Amendments to be material to the financial position of the
EUA System.

    In April 1992, the Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management
(NESCAUM), an environmental advisory group for eight northeast states including
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, issued recommendations for nitrogen oxide (Nox)
controls for existing utility boilers required to meet the ozone non-attainment
requirements of the Clean Air Act.  The NESCAUM recommendations are more
restrictive than the Clean Air Act requirements.  The Massachusetts Department
of Environmental Management has amended its regulations to require that
Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) be implemented at all stationary
sources potentially emitting 50 tons or more per year of NOx.  Similar
regulations have been issued in Rhode Island.  Montaup has initiated
compliance, through, among other things, selective noncatalytic reduction
processes.

    A number of scientific studies in the past several years have examined the
possibility of health effects from electric and magnetic fields (EMF) that are
found everywhere there is electricity.  While some of the studies have
indicated there may be some association between exposure to EMF and health
effects, other studies have indicated no direct association.  In addition, the
research to date has not conclusively established a direct causal relationship
between EMF exposure and human health.  Additional studies, which are intended
to provide a better understanding of the subject, are continuing.

    Some states have enacted regulations to limit the strength of magnetic
fields at the edge of transmission line rights-of-way.  Rhode Island has
enacted a statute which authorizes and directs the Energy Facility Siting Board
to establish rules and regulations governing construction of high voltage
transmission lines of 69kv or more.  There is a bill pending in the
Massachusetts Legislature that would authorize the Massachusetts Department of
Public Utilities to examine the potential health effects of EMF.  Management
cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the EMF issue.

Guarantee of Financial Obligations:  EUA has guaranteed or entered into equity
maintenance agreements in connection with certain obligations of its
subsidiaries.  EUA has guaranteed the repayment of EUA Cogenex's $35 million,
10.56% unsecured long-term notes due 2005 and EUA Ocean State's $33.5 million,
9.59% unsecured long-term notes due 2011. In addition, EUA has entered into
equity maintenance agreements in connection with the issuance of EUA Service's
10.2% Secured Notes and EUA Cogenex's 7.22% and 9.6% Unsecured Notes.

    Under the December 1992 settlement agreement with EUA Power, EUA reaffirmed
its guarantee of up to $10 million of EUA Power's share of the decommissioning
costs of Seabrook Unit 1 and any costs of cancellation of Unit 1 or Unit 2. EUA
guaranteed this obligation in 1990 in order to secure the release to EUA Power
of a $10 million fund established by EUA Power at the time EUA Power acquired
its Seabrook interest.  EUA has not provided a reserve for this guarantee
because management believes it unlikely that EUA will ever be required to honor
the guarantee.

    Montaup is a 3.27% equity participant in two companies which own and
operate transmission facilities interconnecting New England and the Hydro
Quebec system in Canada.  Montaup has guaranteed approximately $5.2 million of
the outstanding debt of these two companies.  In addition, Montaup and Newport
have minimum rental commitments which total approximately $13.5 million and
$1.7 million, respectively under a noncancelable transmission facilities
support agreement for years subsequent to 1995.

Other:  In December 1992, Montaup commenced a declaratory judgment action in
which it sought to have the Massachusetts Superior Court determine its rights
under the Power Purchase Agreement between it and Aquidneck Power Limited
Partnership.  In April 1995 Montaup filed a motion for summary judgement and in
June 1995 the court granted Montaup's motion.  In July, Aquidneck filed for
appeal of the court's decision.

    Montaup, EUA and EUA Service intend to vigorously contest the appeal and
continue to believe that Aquidneck's claims have no basis in law.

    EUA Cogenex, through its EUA WestCoast (WestCoast) L.P., had under
development a cogeneration facility of approximately 1.5 MW.  The cogeneration
facility experienced numerous start-up delays and cost overruns.  The host of
the facility has taken the position that the energy services agreement between
WestCoast and itself is terminated due to, among other things, failure to
complete the project.  WestCoast disagrees with the host's right to terminate,
but has decided not to contest the host's purported termination.

    In June 1993, WestCoast filed a lawsuit against the contractors responsible
for the design and construction of the facility, as well as the surety which
issued a performance bond guaranteeing construction.  Certain defendants in
that action have filed cross-complaints against WestCoast and EUA Cogenex,
seeking, among other things, approximately $300,000 for payments withheld by
WestCoast due to the contractor's deficient performance, contribution and
indemnity.  A contractor has also filed a cross-complaint against the host.
Additionally, the host has filed a cross-complaint against Cogenex and the
other parties in the litigation, seeking approximately $7 million in damages
arising principally from lost economic advantage.  EUA WestCoast filed its own
cross complaint against the host, affirmatively seeking damages.  EUA WestCoast
has secured defense from insurance carriers for the claims made by the host.

    EUA Cogenex intends to vigorously prosecute its claims against the
contractors, surety and host, and defend itself against any cross-complaints.
EUA Cogenex cannot predict the ultimate resolution of this matter.  As a result
of EUA Cogenex's decision to discontinue cogeneration operations effective as
of July 1, 1995, EUA Cogenex has recorded a reserve for its total investment in
this project which is included in the one-time after-tax charge to earnings of
approximately $10.5 million.

     deemed to refer to Eastern, Blackstone, Newport, Montaup,
     EUA Service, Cogenex, EUA Energy, Ocean State, Unicord, NEM,
     Transcapacity, EUA Cogenex-Canada, Bioten, Highland, CCS, and EUA
     ESI, the AFFILIATES together with EUA, and the CONSOLIDATED
     AFFILIATES as a collective taxpaying unit is sometimes
     referred to as the "GROUP" and

        WHEREAS, EUA owns directly or indirectly at least 80
     percent of the issued and outstanding shares of each class
     of voting common stock of each of the AFFILIATES; each of
     the CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES is a member of an affiliated
     group within the meaning of Section 1504 of the Internal
     Revenue Code of 1954, as mended (the "Code"), of which EUA
     is the common parent; and the GROUP presently participates
     in the filing of a consolidated income tax return.

        Definitions

        A.  Corporate Tax Benefit - The amount by which the
     consolidated tax is reduced by including a net corporate tax
     loss or other net tax benefit in the consolidated return.
     The value of the benefit of the operating loss shall be
     determined by applying the then current corporate income tax
     rate to the amount of the loss.  The value of a credit is
     the actual tax savings (100%).  The value of capital losses
     used to offset capital gains shall be computed at the then
     current tax rate applicable to capital gains for
     corporations.  The value of any corporate tax benefit to be
     reimbursed to a member shall be reduced by the amount of any
     alternate minimum tax attributable to such member.

        B.  Separate Return Tax - The tax on the corporate
     taxable income of an associate company computed as though
     such company were not a member of the consolidated group.

        C.  Excess Tax Credits - The investment tax credit,
     alternate minimum tax credit, research and development
     credit, energy tax credit or other similar credit that would
     be allowable in the consolidation (were it not for a
     limitation provided by law) in excess of the amount of such
     credits which could be utilized on a separate return basis
     with regard to such limitations.
        EUA and the AFFILIATES agree as follows:


     Allocation Procedures in Accordance with I.R.C Regulation
                Sections 1.1552-1(A) (I) and 1.1502-33(d) (2) (ii)

        A.  General Rule

        Step 1 - The consolidated tax liability shall be
     apportioned among the companies in the ratio that each
     member's separate taxable income bears to the sum of the
     separate taxable incomes of all members having taxable
     income.

        Step 2 - An additional amount will be allocated to the
     members at 100% of the excess of the member's separate tax
     liability over the consolidated tax liability allocated to
     the member under Step 1.  Under no circumstances shall the
     tax allocated to a member exceed its separate tax liability.

        Step 3 - The total of the amounts allocated under Step
     2 is credited to those members who had "corporate tax
     benefits" as follows:

        (a) Those members having a negative allocation under
     Step 2;

        (b) If the total of the "corporate tax benefits" is
     greater than the total reduction in the consolidated tax,
     then the benefits arising from the inclusion of negative
     taxable incomes in the consolidated return shall be
     recognized and paid prior to the benefits arising from
     excess tax credits.

        (c) If the total benefits attributable to the negative
     taxable incomes of the members are not absorbed in the
     consolidated return, the benefit allocated to each company
     shall be in proportion to their respective negative taxable
     incomes.

        (d) If the total benefits attributable to the excess
     tax credits are not applied in the consolidated return, the
     benefit allocated to each company shall be in proportion to
     their respective excess tax credits.

        Step 4 - If the total consolidated tax liability shall
     result in an "Alternative Minimum Tax" liability position
     then an additional amount will be added to Steps 1 and 2.
     This additional amount will be allocated to the members
     based upon their proportionate amounts of alternate minimum
     taxable income until such time as the proposed amendments to
     the income tax regulations under Sections 53 to 59, 1502 and
     1552 of the Internal Revenue Code become effective.
     Subsequent to the effective date of the new regulations, the
     alternate minimum tax liability will be allocated in
     accordance with the approved regulations provided that such
     regulations prohibit the use of the net positive alternate
     minimum taxable income allocation method.

        Step 5 - Reimbursement - Benefiting members will
     reimburse the others no later than 90 days after the filing
     of the consolidated tax return.

        B.  Unused Corporate Tax Benefits

        A member that is entitled to payment for a tax benefit,
     but does not receive such payment because of the rules in
     Step 3 shall retain such right for the future to the extent
     that such benefit can be applied against the consolidated
     tax liability.  Uncompensated corporate tax benefits arising
     from negative taxable income shall have priority over the
     benefits attributable to excess tax credits.

        C. Tax Adjustments

        In the event of any adjustments to the tax returns of
     any of the CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES filed (by reason of an
     amended return, a claim for refund or an audit by the
     Internal Revenue Service), the liability, if any, of each of
     the AFFILIATES under Section A shall be redetermined to give
     effect to any such adjustment as if it had been made as part
     of the original computation of tax liability, and payments
     between EUA and the appropriate AFFILIATES shall be made
     within 120 days after any such payments are made or refunds
     are received, or, in the case of contested proceedings,
     within 120 days after a final determination of the contest.
     Interest and penalties, if any, attributable to such an
     adjustment shall be paid by each AFFILIATE to EUA in
     proportion to the increase in such AFFILIATE's separate
     return tax liability computed under Section A of this
     Agreement that is required to be paid to EUA.  In any
     situation in which the Group's tax liability is adjusted by
     a revenue agent's report or a court settlement and an item-by-item
     modification is not made, the Group shall consult its accountants
     for assistance in determining a fair allocation of the adjusted
     liability.

        D.  Subsidiaries of Affiliates

        If at any time, any of the AFFILIATES acquires or
     creates one or more subsidiary corporations that are
     includible corporations of the Group, they shall be subject
     to this Agreement and all references to the AFFILIATES
     herein shall be interpreted to include such subsidiaries as
     a group.

        E.  Successors

        This Agreement shall be binding on and insure to the
     benefit of any successor, by merger, acquisition of assets
     or otherwise, to any of the parties hereto (including but
     not limited to any successor of EUA or any of the AFFILIATES
     succeeding to the tax attributes of such corporation under
     Section 381 of the Code) to the same extent as if such
     successor had been an original party to this agreement.

        F.  Special Rule

        In making the tax allocations provided for in this
     agreement, notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no
     corporate tax benefits shall be allocated to EUA.  Although
     the separate corporate taxable income or taxable loss of EUA
     and any tax credits attributable to EUA will be included in
     the consolidated return, only the tax savings attributable
     to such items shall be allocated to the other AFFILIATES as
     if EUA were not a member of the Group.  In making this
     allocation, the tax savings of EUA shall be allocated only
     to members of the Group having taxable income.

        Also, in making the tax allocations, only those tax
     consequences attributable to non-affiliated transactions
     shall be allocated to EUA Service Corporation in accordance
     with Section A of this Agreement.  All others will be
     allocated to the other AFFILIATES.

        G.  Termination Clause

        This Agreement shall apply to the taxable year ending
     December 31, 1996, unless all of the members of the Group
     agree in writing to terminate the Agreement prior to the end
     of the taxable year.  The Agreement shall be renewable on a
     year to year basis for subsequent taxable years, provided
     all of the members of the Group agree in writing, prior to
     the end of the immediately preceding taxable year, to extend
     the Agreement one additional year.  Notwithstanding any
     termination, this Agreement shall continue in effect with
     respect to any payment or refunds due for all taxable
     periods prior to termination.

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the duly authorized representatives
     of the parties have set their hands this 30th day of April,
     1996.
