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. Any contributions are actuarially determined and cannot appropriately be
allocated to individual participants. The annual benefits shown in the table
below straight life annuity amounts, without reduction for primary Social
Security benefits as described below. 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 $130,000 for 1999 plus adjustments
for increases in the cost of living. The number of years of service credited at
present under the Pension Plan to Messrs. Pardus, Stevens, Carney, Powderly and
Hebert are thirty-seven, thirty-four, thirty-three, twenty and twenty-three,
respectively.

 ITEM 6.  OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS (continued)

  EUA also has a Key Executive Plan for certain officers of EUA 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
or EUA terminates the executive's employment without cause, 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.  In
1999, EUA amended the Key Executive Plan to provide five (5) additional years
(from fifteen (15) to twenty (20) years) of benefits continuation for Messrs.
Pardus and Stevens.

  EUA maintains Retirement Restoration Plans for Members of the Employees'
Retirement Plan of Eastern Utilities Associates and its Subsidiary Companies
and EUA Employees' Savings Plan (the "Restoration Plans") and the Supplemental
Retirement Plan for Certain Officers of EUA and its Affiliated Companies
("SERP") as unfunded retirement 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 EUA to help 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.  In 1999, EUA amended and restated the Restoration Plans and SERP
to provide for an increase in the benefit payable to Messrs. Pardus, Stevens,
Powderly, Carney and Hebert by adding five (5) additional years of age and
service when determining their retirement benefits under such plans.  The
additional years of service used in such calculation for Mr. Pardus was limited
to a maximum for forty (40) years.

           Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
                       December 31, 1999

(A) Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

General:   Eastern Utilities Associates (EUA) is a public utility holding
company headquartered in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts.  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.  See "Generation Divestiture"
below for a discussion of EUA's divestiture its of generating capacity. On
April 19, 2000, EUA completed its merger with National Grid USA (formerly New
England Electric System or NEES).  National Grid USA purchased all of the
outstanding common shares of EUA for $31.459 per share, or approximately
$634 million.

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.

Reclassifications:   Certain prior period amounts on the financial statements
have been reclassified to conform with current presentation.

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 2.5% to
4.5%.  Three of the four facilities, Yankee Atomic, Connecticut Yankee and
Maine Yankee, have been permanently shut down and are in the process of
decommissioning.   Montaup's share of  total estimated costs for the permanent
shutdown, decommissioning and recovery of the investment in Yankee Atomic,
Connecticut Yankee and Maine Yankee is $1.1 million, $19.3 million and $25.5
million, respectively.  These amounts are included with Other Liabilities on
the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1999.  Also, due to
anticipated recoverability, a regulatory asset has been recorded for the same
amount and is included with Other Assets.  Montaup is currently entitled to
electricity produced from the remaining facility, Vermont Yankee, based on its
ownership interest and is billed for its entitlement pursuant to a contractual
agreement which is approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
Vermont Yankee is under agreement to be sold to AmerGen Energy Company.

     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).  Also, EUA Energy Investment
Corporation (EUA Energy)  follows the equity method of accounting for its 20%
stock ownership in Separation Technologies, Inc.  This ownership interest 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 3.7% in 1999 based on the average depreciable
property balances at the beginning and end of each year.  Beginning in 1998,
coincident with billing a contract termination charge (CTC) to its retail
affiliates, Montaup commenced recovery of its net investment in generation
related assets through the CTC over a twelve-year period.  The difference
between the annual recovery and annual depreciation expense pursuant to
generally accepted accounting principles is being deferred.  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.

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 8.5% in 1999.  The caption
"Allowance for Borrowed Funds Used During Construction" also includes interest
capitalized for non-regulated entities in accordance with 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 revenues at the end of each month to match
costs and revenues more closely.  Montaup recognizes revenues when
billed.  In 1998, Montaup and the Retail Subsidiaries also began recording
revenues in an amount management believes to be recoverable pursuant to
provisions of approved settlement agreements and enabling state legislation.
Provisions of the approved restructuring settlement agreements in conjunction
with accounting provisions of SFAS 71 allow Montaup and the retail
subsidiaries to accrue and/or defer revenue related to the future recovery of
certain items.  Montaup has accrued revenues and recorded associated regulatory
assets and liabilities for certain items during 1999 commencing with the
implementation of the aforementioned settlement agreements and billing of the
Contract Termination Charge (CTC), January 1, 1998 in Rhode Island and March 1,
1998 in Massachusetts. Also, Montaup is normalizing the difference between GAAP
depreciation expense on generation plant assets prior to divestiture and the
recovery level included in the settlement agreements. Montaup normalizes for
the difference in actual versus estimated CTC variable components costs and
revenues.  Montaup was authorized to accrue an amount of lost revenue equal to
the difference in revenues Montaup would have collected under its previously
approved rates and revenues collected pursuant to the settlement agreements.
As directed by the settlement agreements, Montaup ceased accruing lost
revenues, with the completion of the divestiture of its fossil generating
assets, which occurred with the sale of the Somerset generating plant on April
26, 1999.  The settlements also provide Montaup with a nuclear PBR provision
under which Montaup normalizes expenses and revenues for 80% of going forward
operations of Montaup's nuclear interests.  Montaup was also allowed to accrue
a return enhancement related to stranded investments charged to its Rhode
Island retail affiliates during the generation divestiture period as an
incentive to divest.  Beginning in 1999, Montaup began accruing a similar
revenue enhancement related to standard investments charged to its
Massachusetts retail affiliate, Eastern Edison.  Montaup has also accrued
revenue related to the two-month delay in implementing the Massachusetts
settlement agreement from January 1, 1998 to March 1, 1998.   The retail
companies normalize the difference between revenue and expenses from energy
conservation programs.  The retail companies normalize the difference between
amounts billed to customers and the costs for standard offer/default service.
The retail companies also normalize the difference between CTC revenue and
expenses.  Montaup refunds to the retail companies previous over or under
recoveries related to the CTC rate mechanism.  Montaup also accrues interest on
reconciliation account balances owed to the retail companies.

     Settlement provisions and SFAS 71 also provide for Eastern Edison to
accrue revenue equal to the approved deferral of standard offer costs which
will be collected in the future.

     The following table reflects the nature and amount of accrued and/or
deferred revenue and the associated balance sheet placement (000's).

     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 amortize previously deferred investment tax credits (ITC) over the
productive lives of the related assets.  Beginning in 1998, Montaup is
amortizing previously deferred ITC related to generation investments
recoverable through the CTC over a twelve-year period.  Unamortized ITC related
to the sales of generating units are reversed to Other Income on the
Consolidated Income Statement at the time of sale pursuant to IRS regulations.

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.

Accounts Receivable:   Accounts Receivable - Customers, Net includes an
allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $1.1 million in 1999.

Other Assets:   The components of Other Assets at December 31, 1999 are
detailed as follows:

     Regulatory assets represent deferred costs for which future revenues are
expected in accordance with regulatory practices.  These costs are expensed
when the corresponding revenues are received in order to appropriately match
revenues and expenses.  Unrecovered CTC plant assets increased in 1999 as a
result of the divestiture of generation assets in 1999.  Accrued CTC assets
increased in 1999 as a result of the transfer of power contracts to various
non-affiliated parties in 1999.

Regulatory Accounting:   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.  In light of
approved restructuring settlement agreements and restructuring legislation in
both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, EUA has determined that Montaup no longer
will apply the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB)
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71 (FAS71), "Accounting for the
Effects of Certain Types of Regulation" for the generation portion of its
business.  Montaup ceased applying SFAS 71 to its ongoing generation portion of
its business effective January 1, 1998.  Approved restructuring settlement
agreements with parties in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the two states in
which Montaup operates, allow Montaup full recovery of stranded generation
investments as of December 31, 1997 and as such Montaup incurred no asset
impairment.  As disclosed below in Generation Divestiture, Montaup has divested
all of its generation assets and power purchase agreements with the exception
of its 4.0% (46mw) ownership interest in the Millstone 3 nuclear station and
its 12 mw entitlement from the Vermont Yankee nuclear unit.  Post-divestiture
ongoing generation operations will include the two aforementioned nuclear units
in which Montaup will continue to have an interest.  The approved settlement
agreements also provide Montaup with recovery of 100% of embedded nuclear
investments as of December 31, 1997 and recovery of 80% of its post 1997 on
going nuclear generation operations.  Because only 20% of Montaup's remaining
nuclear operations will no longer be subject to the accounting treatment
pursuant to SFAS 71 and would be subject to market risk, management believes
that the discontinuation of SFAS 71 for Montaup's post-divestiture generation
business will not have a material impact on EUA's results of operations or
financial position.  EUA believes its transmission and retail distribution
businesses continue to meet the criteria for continued application of FAS71.

Generation Divestiture:   Terms of approved electric utility restructuring
settlement agreements provide that EUA exit the electric generation business.
Through separately negotiated agreements, EUA has completed the transfer of
all of its non-nuclear generation assets and power purchase contracts to
various non-affiliated parties, with the exception of its 4.0% (46
mw) ownership interest in the Millstone 3 nuclear station.  Vermont Yankee has
agreed to sell the 540-mw nuclear unit in which Montaup has a 2.5% equity (12
mw) interest.

     The sales of EUA's generating assets totaling 509 mw amounted to $133.2
million in aggregate.  The net proceeds from the sales, as defined in the
settlement agreements, have been recorded as a regulatory liability at the time
of sale and will be returned to customers via a Residual Value Credit (RVC)
through the year 2009.

     EUA has also agreed to make contribution payments to two parties in
exchange for their assumption of all future obligations under six purchased
power contracts.  These fixed monthly payments ranging from $850,000 to $2.6
million, will be made from the effective date through 2009.  EUA recorded a
liability for these fixed contributions, and a regulatory asset for a like
amount due to recoverability.  In addition, in July 1999, EUA  agreed to a
buyout of its obligations under the Pilgrim Nuclear purchased power contract in
conjunction with the sale of the unit by Boston Edison Co. (BEC) to Entergy
Nuclear Generating Co.  (Entergy).  This agreement included a buyout payment by
EUA to BEC of $111.7 million, along with a short-term, fixed-price purchased
power agreement with Entergy for declining shares of the unit's output
beginning with 11% in 1999 and ending with 5.5% in 2004.  Entergy will assume
all future operating and decommissioning obligations. Accordingly, in the third
quarter of 1999, Montaup recorded a regulatory asset of approximately $111.7
million, a corresponding current liability of $105.6 million, and a long-term
liability of $6.1 million.

     EUA will continue to attempt to sell and/or transfer its minority interest
in Millstone 3.  Until such time as this and the Vermont Yankee units are
divested, EUA will share 80% of the operating costs and revenues associated
with the units with customers and 20% with shareholders.

(B) Income Taxes:

     EUA adopted FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"
(FAS109), which requires 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 ratemaking treatment and provisions in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
Total deferred tax assets and liabilities for 1999 include the following:

                    Deferred Tax                        Deferred Tax

  Total                 $59,328

     As of December 31, 1999, EUA has recorded on its Consolidated Balance
Sheet a regulatory liability to ratepayers of approximately $8.1 million.
These amounts primarily represent 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, 1999 a regulatory
asset of approximately $41.0 million, has been recorded, representing the
cumulative amount of federal income taxes on temporary depreciation differences
which were previously flowed through to ratepayers.

 (C) Capital Stock:

     The Agreement and Plan of Merger dated February 1, 1999 by and among New
England Electric System (NEES) and EUA, which was approved by EUA shareholders
and is subject to various regulatory agencies' approval, provides for NEES to
purchase all of the outstanding EUA shares for $31 per share in cash.  The
transaction was completed on April 19, 2000.  The merger agreement
contained an upward price adjustment because the merger did not close within six
months from May 17, 1999, the date EUA shareholders approved the merger plan.
Therefore, since November 17, 1999, NEES paid an additional $0.003 per day
per share for EUA's outstanding common stock, or $31.459 per share.

     There was no change in the number of common shares outstanding during 1999.

     As permitted, the Company accounts for its stock-based compensation, as
discussed below, using the method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No.  25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB25) and as
permitted under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" (FAS123).

     The Company established a Restricted Stock Plan in 1989.  Under the
Restricted Stock Plan, executives and certain key employees may be granted
restricted common shares of the Company.  In 1998, 1997 and 1995, approximately
74,000 shares, 95,000 shares, and 61,000 shares, respectively, of restricted
common shares, valued at approximately $1.8 million and $2.4 million, and $1.4
million respectively, were granted.  The issued shares  are restricted for a
period ranging from two to five years and all shares are subject to forfeiture
if specified employment services are not met.  There are no exercise prices
related to these share grants.  During the applicable restriction period, the
recipient has all the voting, dividend, and other rights of a record holder
except that the shares are nontransferable.  The annual compensation
expense related to these grant awards was approximately $1.6 million in 1999
and 1998 and was immaterial for 1997.  There are no material differences in the
Company recording its annual compensation expense under APB25 from the
requirements under FAS123.  All of the restricted shares became
immediately vested upon the completion of EUA's merger with NEES.

     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, 1999 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

     In July 1999, EUA filed an application under the Public Utility Holding
Company Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting
authorization for Eastern Edison to transfer all its investment in Montaup,
including Montaup's preferred stock, common stock and debenture bonds, to EUA.
Montaup would then become a wholly-owned subsidiary of EUA.  Also related to
this transfer, Eastern Edison filed a Petition for Approval of the transfer or
Request for Alternative Findings of No Jurisdiction with the DTE.  A public
hearing was held at the DTE on October 18, 1999 at which no one from the public
intervened.  Eastern Edison received an order from the DTE on January 4, 2000,
approving the transfer.  SEC approval was received on February 4, 2000 and the
transfer of Montaup from Eastern Edison to EUA was consummated with a filing at
the DTE on February 17, 2000.

(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.

(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 April 1999, Montaup completed the sale of its Somerset Station to NRG
Energy Inc.  for approximately $55 million.  In July 1999, Montaup used the
proceeds from this sale to redeem $54.8 million of its outstanding securities
wholly-owned by Eastern Edison.  Eastern Edison used these proceeds along with
a capital contribution from EUA to redeem $40 million of 8%, $40 million of 6
7/8%, and $8 million of 6.35% First Mortgage and Collateral Trust Bonds.
These First Mortgage bonds were collateralized by securities of Montaup, which
were wholly-owned by Eastern Edison. The principal amount of Montaup securities
wholly-owned by Eastern Edison at December 31, 1999 was approximately $134
million. See Note C -Capital Stock for a discussion of Eastern Edison's
transfer of its investment in Montaup to EUA in February 2000.

     In August 1999, Eastern Edison used short term borrowings to redeem its
$35 million 7.78% Secured Medium Term notes.

     In September 1999, Newport used short-term borrowings to redeem $1.4
million of 9% and $8 million of 9.8% First Mortgage Bonds at maturity.  In
November 1999, Newport used available cash to redeem the remaining balance of
approximately $440,000 of its 6.5% Small Business Administration Loan.

     Blackstone's Variable Rate Demand Bonds are collateralized by an
irrevocable Letter of Credit which expires on July 31, 2000.  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, 2000, 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.

     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
1999 are: $62.5 million in 2000, $14.2 million in 2001, $10.4 million in 2002,
$11.9 million in 2003, and $11.5 million in 2004.

     EUA Cogenex was not in compliance with the interest coverage covenant
contained in certain of its unsecured note agreements at December 31, 1999.
EUA Cogenex is seeking a waiver from note holders. Under the terms of these
note agreements, since EUA Cogenex was not in compliance with certain
covenants, the note holders may, with written notice to EUA Cogenex, declare
the notes immediately due and payable.  Accordingly, $20.7 million of long-term
debt has been reclassified as current maturities of long-term debt on the
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1999.  It is anticipated that EUA
Cogenex will be in compliance by the end of the second quarter of 2000.

     EUA Cogenex is marketing the sale of a portfolio of certain of its project
cash flows.  EUA Cogenex is currently negotiating the terms of a sale agreement
with interested lenders.   In early 2000, EUA filed a request with the SEC to
allow for EUA's guarantee of EUA Cogenex's ongoing performance obligations
related to the projects to be sold.  SEC approval of EUA's guarantee is
expected in late March or April of 2000 and the sale of the portfolio is
expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2000.  EUA Cogenex intends to
redeem all of its long-term debt of approximately $77 million with the proceeds
from the sale.

(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 fair
value of these assets are based on market rates of similar securities.

Preferred Stock and Long-Term Debt of Subsidiaries:   The fair value of the
System redeemable preferred stock and long-term debt were based on quoted
market prices for such securities at December 31, 1999.

     The estimated fair values of the System's financial instruments at
December 31, 1999 were as follows:

(G) Lines Of Credit:

     In July 1997, several EUA System companies entered into a three-year
revolving credit agreement allowing for borrowings in aggregate of up to $225
million, as amended in November 1999, from all sources of short-term credit. On
November 23, 1999, Eastern Edison and Montaup entered into a $60 million credit
agreement to facilitate the buy out of the Pilgrim Station purchase power
agreement between Montaup and Boston Edison and for other general corporate
purposes.  As of December 31, 1999, various financial institutions have
committed up to $75 and $60 million under each of the respective credit
facilities.  In addition to the $135 million available under these credit
facilities, EUA System companies maintain short-term lines of credit
with various banks totaling $90 million for an aggregate amount available of
$225 million.  At December 31, 1999, the EUA System had unused short-term lines
of credit of approximately $81.0 million.  During 1999, the weighted average
interest rate for short-term borrowings was 5.5%.

(H) Jointly Owned Facilities:

     At December 31, 1999, in addition to the stock ownership interests
discussed in Note A, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies - Jointly Owned Companies, Montaup had direct ownership interests in
the following electric generating facility:

                                      Accumulated Net
                            Utility   Provision for    Utility    Construction

Montaup:
  Millstone Unit 3  4.01%    $178,359    $64,785         $113,574     $485

     The foregoing amounts represent Montaup's interest in Millstone Unit 3,
including nuclear fuel where appropriate, and are included on the like-
captioned lines on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  At December 31, 1999
Montaup's total net investment in nuclear fuel amounted to $2.2 million.
Montaup's share of related operating and maintenance expenses of Millstone Unit
3 reflected in the preceding table are included in the corresponding operating
expenses.

(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.  In early 1998, a
number of utilities filed suit in federal appeals court seeking, among other
things, an order requiring the DOE to immediately establish a program for the
disposal of spent nuclear fuel. On May 5, 1998, the Court of Appeals denied
several motions brought in the proceeding, including several motions for
injunctive relief brought by the utility petitioners.  In particular, the Court
denied the requests to require the DOE to immediately establish a program for
the disposal of spent nuclear fuel.  In late October and early November 1998,
the U.S. Court of Federal Claims issued rulings with respect to Yankee Atomic,
Maine Yankee, and Connecticut Yankee finding that the DOE was financially
responsible for failing to accept spent nuclear fuel.  These rulings clear the
way for Yankee Atomic, Connecticut Yankee and Maine Yankee to pursue at trial
their individual damage claims.   The DOE filed a motion to stay the case
pending resolution of its appeal request granted by the Appeals Court.  In
October 1999, the Court issued a stay order on the damage claims.  Montaup owns
a 4.01% interest in Millstone 3.  Northeast Utilities, the operator of the
units, indicates that Millstone 3 has sufficient on-site storage facilities
which, with rack additions, can accommodate its spent fuel for the projected
life of the unit.

     The Energy Policy Act of 1992 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.

     Montaup has a 4.5% equity ownership in Connecticut Yankee, a nuclear
generating facility which is in the process of decommissioning.  Montaup's
share of the total estimated costs for the permanent shutdown, decommissioning,
and recovery of the investment in Connecticut Yankee is approximately $19.3
million.  On August 31, 1998, a FERC law judge rejected Connecticut Yankee's
filed plan to decommission the plant.  The judge claimed that estimates of
clean-up costs were flawed and certain restoration costs were not supported.
The judge also said Connecticut Yankee could not pass on spent fuel storage
costs to rate-payers.  The judge recommended that Connecticut Yankee withdraw
its decommissioning plan and submit a new plan which addresses the issues cited
by him. FERC will review the judge's recommendations and issue a decision on
this case in the coming months.  If FERC concurs with the judge's
recommendation, this may result in a write down of certain of Connecticut
Yankee plant investments.  Montaup cannot predict the ultimate outcome of
FERC's review.

     Also, Montaup is recovering through rates its share of estimated
decommissioning costs for Millstone 3.  Montaup's share of the current estimate
of total costs to decommission Millstone 3 is approximately $24.8 million in
1999 dollars.  This figure is based on studies performed for Northeast
Utilities, the lead owner of the unit.  Montaup also pays into decommissioning
reserves pursuant to contractual arrangements with other nuclear generating
facilities in which it has an equity ownership interest.  Such expenses are
currently recoverable through rates.

Pensions:   EUA maintains a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan
(Retirement Plan) covering most of the employees of the EUA System.  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.
Total pension (income) expense for the Retirement Plan, including an amount
related to the 1997 voluntary retirement incentive offer, for 1999 included
the following components:

Total periodic pension income expense                  $(3,037)

* During 1999, Montaup recorded a regulatory asset of approximately $2.7
  million related to the cost of offering an early retirement plan and a
  $700,000 gain due the curtailment of the plan.  This amount will be recovered
  as part of Montaup's CTC billed to its retail affiliates.

funded status at December 31, 1999.

     At December 31, 1999, approximately $2.5 million was included in other
liabilities for unfunded non-qualified pension benefits related to the 1997
voluntary retirement incentive.

     EUA also maintains non-qualified supplemental retirement plans
(Supplemental Plans) for certain officers and trustees of the EUA System.
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, and policy cash values and
death benefits may be available to offset EUA's obligations under the
Supplemental Plans.  As of December 31, 1999, approximately $8.2 million was
included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for these plans.  Expenses
related to the Supplemental Plans were $2.2 million in 1999.

     EUA also provides a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan for
substantially all employees.  EUA's matching percentage of employees' voluntary
contributions to the plan, amounted to $1.7 million in 1999.

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 total cost of post-retirement benefits other than pensions, including
an amount related to the 1997 voluntary retirement incentive offer, for 1999
includes the following components:

* Montaup recorded a regulatory asset of approximately $5.5 million due to a
  loss resulting from the curtailment of the plan, and $200,000 related to the
  cost of offering an early retirement plan.  This amount will be recovered as
  part of Montaup's CTC billed to its retail affiliates.

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 certain charges whether or not energy is received in addition to
other amounts that depend on the actual amount of energy delivered.  In 1999,
these purchased power contracts, with the exception of the nuclear
entitlements, were transferred to third parties under terms that result in
fixed payments through 2009.  In addition, Montaup's obligations to Boston
Edison under the Pilgrim contract have been essentially reduced to its share of
the property tax settlement with the town of Plymouth, and Montaup is obligated
to Entergy under the replacement contract only for energy actually delivered.
It is anticipated that in 2000, Montaup will make a payment to terminate its
purchase obligation from Vermont Yankee.  Under terms in effect as of December
31, 1999, the aggregate commitments under the long-term purchased power
contracts are approximately $46 million in 2000, $37 million in 2001, $39
million in 2002, $23 million in 2003, $24 million in 2004 and $98 million for
the ensuing years.  These amounts, which also include certain continuing
obligations (primarily for decommissioning) to Vermont Yankee and the retired
nuclear plants, are currently fully recoverable through rates.

Environmental Matters:   There is an extensive body of federal and state
statutes governing environmental matters, which permit, among other things,
federal and state authorities to initiate legal action providing for liability,
compensation, cleanup, and emergency response to the release or threatened
release of hazardous substances into the environment and for the cleanup of
inactive hazardous waste disposal sites which constitute substantial hazards.
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 carriers 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 had accumulated since 1985.  Due to the uncertainty of the ultimate
outcome of this proceeding and anticipated recoverability whether through
rates, insurance providers or other parties, Blackstone recorded an asset for
the amount funded under the escrow agreement (discussed below) consistent with
provisions of SFAS 5, specifically paragraphs 3, 10, and 13 and SFAS 71,
specifically paragraphs 3 and 9.  This amount is included with Other Assets on
the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 1999 and 1998.  Should the EPA
determine the substance to be non-toxic, the company may be able to retain the
entire escrowed amount and would relieve both the asset and liability from its
balance sheet at that time.  However should the EPA determine that the
substance is hazardous, the company would amortize its asset, net of amounts
recovered through insurance proceeds or from other parties, over a five year
period in accordance with the company's established rate recovery mechanisms of
similar costs.

     Blackstone filed a Notice of Appeal of the District Court 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 a hazardous substance.

     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 the
proceeds of the settlement.

     As of December 31, 1999, the EUA System had incurred costs of
approximately $9.5 million (excluding the $5.9 million Mendon Road judgment) in
connection with the investigation and clean-up of 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 $2.2 million (excluding the
$5.9 million Mendon Road judgment) may be incurred at these sites through 2000,
$1.4 million of which of which relates to Blackstone and $800,000 which relates
to sites at which Blackstone is a potentially responsible party.  Estimates
beyond 2000 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.

     During the second quarter of 1999, EUA identified four new sites related
to the production of manufactured gas at which certain environmental conditions
may exist.  Three sites are associated with Blackstone and one site is
associated with Eastern Edison.  EUA has conducted a preliminary assessment of
the potential cost of remediation at these sites.  An engineering model was
recently obtained by the Company to provide the estimated potential
costs. Since site specific studies have not yet been performed, EUA has
recorded a minimum liability for each of these sites based on this engineering
model to recognize risk assessment, monitoring, and legal and administrative
costs.

     In addition, EUA has recorded estimated environmental remediation
liabilities for two previously-identified manufactured gas plant sites
associated with Blackstone.  The sites are the Tidewater site, the location of
a former electric generating station and manufactured gas plant in
Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and the Hamlet Avenue Site, a former manufactured gas
plant site located in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.  Estimates were not previously
recorded for these locations since site-specific studies had not been completed
and a reliable engineering model deemed essential to develop a reasonable
estimate was not previously available.

     With respect to the Tidewater site, EUA completed its site investigation
study during the third quarter of 1999 to determine the nature and extent of
contamination.  The study identified elevated levels of hazardous substances
over an extended area of both the surface and subsurface.  The Hamlet Street
site assessment has not yet been finalized.  However, the assessment
conducted to date has determined that varying degrees of hazardous substances
are present at that site.

     Therefore, in the third quarter of 1999, a total estimated remediation
liability of $21.2 million was recorded as a long-term liability with a
corresponding charge to a regulatory asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Blackstone and Eastern Edison are currently recovering certain environmental
cleanup costs in rates. In addition, the Company will seek recovery of certain
costs from its insurance carriers and other possible responsible parties.  The
Company expects, based on prior regulatory approvals, to recover such costs in
future rates.  As a result, the Company does not believe that the ultimate
impact of the cleanup costs associated with these sites will be material to the
results of its operations or its financial position.

     See Note A, Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies - Generation Divestiture regarding EUA's divestiture of generation
assets.

      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 wherever there is electricity.  While some of the studies have
indicated some association between exposure to EMF and health effects, many
others have indicated no direct association.  Some states have enacted
regulations to limit the strength of EMF at the edge of transmission line
rights-of-way.  The Rhode Island legislation has enacted a statute which
authorizes and directs the Rhode Island Energy Facility Siting Board to
establish rules and/or regulations governing construction of high
voltage transmission lines of 69 kv or more.  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 $24.5 million,
10.56% unsecured long-term notes due 2005 and EUA Ocean State's $26.1 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 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 I and
any costs of cancellation of Seabrook I or Seabrook II.  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 $3.7 million of
the outstanding debt of these two companies.  In addition, Montaup and Newport
have minimum rental commitments which total approximately $10.5 million and
$1.3 million, respectively, under a noncancelable transmission facilities
support agreement for years subsequent to 1999.

Other:   Since early 1997, fourteen plaintiffs brought suits against numerous
defendants, including EUA, for injuries and illness allegedly caused by
exposure to asbestos over approximately a thirty-year period, at various
premises, including some owned by EUA companies.  The total damages claimed in
all of these complaints is $34 million in compensatory and punitive damages,
plus exemplary damages and interest  and costs.  Each complaint names
between fifteen and twenty-eight defendants, including EUA.  These complaints
have been referred to the applicable insurance companies.  Counsel has been
retained by the insurers and is actively defending all cases.  Six cases have
been dismissed as against EUA companies.  EUA cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of this matter at this time.

     A pending class action, filed on March 2, 1998, in the Massachusetts
Supreme Judicial Court naming all Massachusetts electric distribution
companies, including Eastern Edison, and certain Massachusetts state agencies
as defendants, seeks to invalidate certain sections of the Electric Utility
Restructuring Act of 1997.  The Act directs the Massachusetts Department of
Telecommunications and Energy to impose mandatory charges on all electricity
sold to customers, except those served by a municipal lighting plant, to fund
energy efficiency activities and to promote renewable energy projects.  In
addition to declaratory judgment, plaintiffs seek remittance of monies paid by
customers to each distribution company by customers for renewable projects
together with any interest earned.  The outcome of this class action is
unknown at this time however, Eastern Edison is vigorously defending the
lawsuit.

     On February 15, 2000, the United States Attorney for the District of
Massachusetts informed the Company that his office is investigating possible
criminal conduct, including mail fraud by EUA Cogenex and/or its employees.
The conduct in question involves alleged intentional overbilling by EUA Cogenex
of certain cogeneration customers during 1994 and 1995, when EUA Cogenex  owned
cogeneration projects, and filing false information with FERC in order to
maintain the  facilities' status as qualifying facilities under the Public
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978.  EUA Cogenex is fully cooperating with
the United States Attorney's investigation.  Although the Company cannot
predict the ultimate outcome of this investigation, the Company does not
believe that it will have a material effect on the financial position of the
Company.

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
        affiliate 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)(1) and 1.1502-33(d)(3)
     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.

     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 remain with 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, 1999,
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 6th of April, 2000.
