INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT
The Berkshire Gas Company:
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of The Berkshire Gas Company
as of December 31, 1994, the related statements of income and retained
earnings for the three month, six month and twelve month periods ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the statements of cash flows for the six month
periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to such financial statements for them to be in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of The Berkshire Gas Company as of June 30, 1994,
and the related statements of income and retained earnings and of cash flows
for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated August
16, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as
of June 30, 1994 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES:
OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION:
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared with
the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. All adjustments, which in the opinion of management are
necessary to a fair presentation of the operations for the interim periods
presented, have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessary
indicative of results of operations for a full year. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the summary of accounting
policies and notes to financial statements included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994.
CONTINGENCIES:
ENVIRONMENTAL:
Federal, state and local laws and regulations establishing standards and
requirements for protection of the environment have increased in number and
scope in recent years. The Berkshire Gas Company (the "Company") cannot
predict the future impact of such standards and requirements, which are
subject to change and can have retroactive effects.
During fiscal 1990, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities
(MDPU) issued a generic ruling on cost recovery for environmental cleanup with
respect to former gas manufacturing sites. Under the ruling, the Company may
recover annual cleanup costs, excluding carrying costs, over a seven year
period through the Cost of Gas Adjustment Clause (CGAC). This ruling also
provides for the sharing of any proceeds received from insurance carriers
equally between the Company and its ratepayers, and establishes maximum
amounts that can be recovered from customers in any one year.
During the period ended December 31, 1994, the Company continued the
analysis and field review of two parcels of real estate formerly used for gas
manufacturing operations, which had been found to contain coal tar deposits
and other substances associated with by-products of the gas manufacturing
process. The review and assessment process began in 1985 with respect to the
first site which is owned by the Company, and in 1989 with respect to the
second site, which was formerly owned by the Company. With the review and
approval of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection ("MDEP"),
at the first site, the investigative work is near completion and remedial
alternatives are being examined. At the second site, investigative activities
are commencing. It is difficult to predict the potential financial impact of
the sites until first, the nature and risk is fully characterized and second,
the remedial strategies and related technologies are determined. The general
philosophy of the Company is one of source removal and/or reduction coupled
with risk minimization. Assuming successful implementation, it is anticipated
that through 2009 the level of expenditures for the site will range from
$2,894 to $8,777. The Company has recorded the lesser amount of the range in
accordance with SFAS No. 5. Ultimate expenditures cannot be determined until
a remedial action plan can be developed and approved by the MDEP.
The Company's unamortized costs at December 31, 1994 were $1,197 and should be
recovered using the formula discussed above.
TRANSPORTATION PIPELINE:
Claims against the Company have been asserted by a general contractor
and certain subcontractors involved in the construction of a transportation
pipeline for which the Company served as developer, and are in the early
stages of proceedings. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of the claims, which the Company believes are without merit, it
intends to contest the claims vigorously and believes that the outcome will
not have a material adverse impact on the overall financial condition or
results of operations of the Company.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
- - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations - Second Quarter Ended December 31, 1994 versus Second
Quarter Ended December 31, 1993
- - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Berkshire Gas Company considers Operating Margin (Operating Margin or
Gross Profit = Operating Revenues Net of Cost of Gas Sold) to be a more
pertinent measure of operating results than operating revenues because income
is not significantly affected by changes in revenue due to similar
fluctuations in gas costs.
Operating Margin decreased $322,000 or 5.3% as compared with the three
months ended December 31, 1993. Operating Margin is primarily affected by the
change in the level of firm gas sold and transported. Interruptible gas sold
and transported has no affect on Operating Margin since those margins are
flowed back to the customer. The decrease from 1993 is primarily due to lower
volumes of firm gas sold due to 9.9% warmer weather than 1993, partially
offset by higher volumes of gas sold and transported at slightly lower
margins from increased firm transportation volumes to industrial customers.

3 Month Operating Margin $5,711,000 $6,033,000
3 Month Average Operating Margin Per Firm MCF $3.97 $4.01
</TABLE>
Depreciation Expense increased $65,000 or 7.7% due to an increase in
the level of depreciable assets.
Other Income decreased $159,000 or 24% primarily due to lower income
from propane and jobbing operations. Propane volumes were lower due to warmer
weather and higher expenses for maintenance and depreciation, partially offset
by a 6% increase in the number of customers. Jobbing revenues were less than
1993 due to lower levels of activity.
Interest Expense increased $43,000 or 4.8% due primarily to a gas
supplier refund being returned to the ratepayers through CGAC, and, to a
lesser extent, increased borrowing rate.
Other Taxes increased $29,000 or 7.7% due to higher personal property
valuations and rates.
The decrease in Income Taxes of $218,000 resulted from lower net income.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended December 31, 1994 versus Six Months
Ended December 31, 1993
- - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Margin decreased $195,000 or 2.3% as compared with the six
months ended December 31, 1993. The decrease from 1993 resulted from warmer
weather causing lower volumes of firm gas sold, partially offset by increased
volumes and margins on transportation revenues to industrial customers.

Results of Operations - Twelve Months Ended December 31, 1994 versus Twelve
Months Ended December 31, 1993
- - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operating Margin increased $2,042,000 or 8.9% over the twelve months
ended December 31, 1994. The increase over 1993 is primarily due to higher
volumes of firm transportation gas used by industrial customers. During this
period, firm volumes of gas sold and transported increased 8.0%.

12 Month Operating Margin $24,949,000 $22,907,000
12 Month Average Operating Margin Per Firm MCF $3.94 $3.90
</TABLE>
Other Operating Expenses increased $1,559,000 or 13.7% over the twelve
months ended December 31,1993. The increase is primarily due to a $752,000
increase in costs associated with maintaining customer records due to higher
level of uncollectible accounts, higher payroll and collection costs.
Administrative and General Costs increased $594,000 primarily due to higher
legal expense of $187,000, regulatory costs of $171,000, injuries and
damages costs of $143,000, and salaries and related benefits of $62,000.
Expenses for transmission and distribution increased $261,000 due to
additional maintenance of mains and services. Production expenses decreased
$63,000 due to less costs associated with restructuring supply contracts
brought about by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") Order 636
during 1993.
Depreciation Expense increased $223,000 due to an increase in the level
of depreciable assets.
Interest Expense increased $136,000 primarily due to less interest
capitalized than 1993 and, to a lesser extent, an increased borrowing rate.
Other Income increased $520,000 over the twelve months ended December
31,1993. The increase resulted primarily from the settlement of an insurance
claim relating to a line of business that was discontinued in the 1970's in
the amount of $403,000 (net of taxes and amounts previously recorded). The
increase in Other Income was partially offset by lower rental income of
$102,000 due to higher depreciation expense reflecting an adjustment for the
change in the lives of rental assets during 1993, and lower propane income of
$45,000.
Other Taxes increased $75,000 or 4.7% due to higher personal
property tax as well as increased payroll taxes.
Income Taxes increased due to higher net income.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
- - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources - December 31, 1994
- - - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company added approximately $4,554,000 to Plant assets during the
six months ended December 31, 1994. These construction expenditures primarily
represent investments in new and replacement mains and services.
The Company initially finances construction expenditures and other
funding needs primarily with short-term bank borrowings, and to a lesser
extent with the reinvestment of dividends. The Company continually evaluates
its short-term borrowing position and based on prevailing interest rates,
market conditions, etc., makes determinations regarding conversion of short-
term borrowings to long-term debt or equity. As part of the continuing
financing, the Company sold 295,000 shares of Common Stock during the second
quarter of fiscal 1995, netting proceeds of $4,212,600 to repay short-term
obligations.
Funds for environmental clean-up costs are initially financed through
short-term borrowings and all such costs will be recovered over a seven year
period under a ruling issued by the MDPU.
The capital structure of the Company at December 31, 1994 was 39.9%
Common Equity, 12.9% Preferred Stock and 47.2% Long-Term Debt.
