NOTE 1 -- Financial Statement Presentation
The information presented in this Form 10-Q is unaudited. In the opinion
of management the information reported reflects all adjustments, consisting
of normal recurring adjustments, which were necessary to a fair statement
of the results for the periods reported. Certain reclassifications have
been made to conform previously reported data to the current presentation.
NOTE 2 -- Acquisition
On February 16, 1996, the Company's subsidiary, Pennsylvania-American Water
Company, acquired the water utility operations of Pennsylvania Gas and
Water Company (now known as PG Energy Inc.) for $409,400. The acquired
operations, which include 10 water treatment plants and 36 reservoirs,
serve approximately 132,000 customers in northeastern Pennsylvania. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the accompanying financial
statements reflect the results of operations of the acquired business
subsequent to the purchase date. The purchase price consisted of $262,500
in cash and the assumption of $146,900 of PG Energy Inc.'s liabilities,
including $141,000 of its long-term debt. The cash payment was funded with
short-term debt that was subsequently repaid with the proceeds from the
Company's 1996 common stock offering and a portion of the proceeds from
Pennsylvania-American's 1996 offering of $150,000 of 30-year, 7.8% General
Mortgage Bonds.
The unaudited pro forma results listed below were prepared as if the
acquisition and related offerings had occurred on January 1, 1996, and
include the historical results of the Company and of the acquired
operations. The unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations that might have occurred had the
acquisition actually taken place on the date indicated, or of future
results of operations of the combined entities.

In February 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure," were issued by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board requiring implementation for
periods ending after December 15, 1997.
Adoption of these statements effective December 31, 1997, is not expected
to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Operating revenues for the second quarter and the first six months of 1997
were higher than for the same periods of 1996 by 4% and 6%, respectively.
The increases are due to authorized rate increases for several subsidiaries
and the acquisition of the regulated water operations in northeastern
Pennsylvania. Revenues included in the second quarter of 1997 from the
northeastern Pennsylvania acquisition were approximately equal to those
included in the second quarter of 1996. In the first six months of 1997,
the northeastern Pennsylvania acquisition increased operating revenues by
$7.4 million in comparison to the same period in 1996.
During the first seven months of 1997, four regulated subsidiaries received
rate orders which are expected to provide approximately $5.4 million in
additional annual revenues. Nine subsidiaries have rate increase
applications on file before regulatory agencies which, if granted in full,
would provide approximately $73.1 million in additional annual revenues.
A rate increase application pending for Pennsylvania-American Water Company
accounts for $41.4 million of the $73.1 million in requested additional
annual revenues awaiting decision. The request addresses the Company's
added investment in water service facilities since its last rate decision
including the northeastern Pennsylvania acquisition. A decision is
expected in late 1997.
Water sales volume during the second quarter of 1997 decreased 1% to 60.5
billion gallons from 60.9 billion gallons in the second quarter of 1996.
The 116.4 billion gallons of sales volume for the first six months of 1997
was approximately equal to 115.8 billion gallons sold in the same period of
1996. The acquisition added approximately 2.0 billion gallons of water
sold for the first six months of 1997 when compared to the first six months
of 1996.
Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were approximately
equal to those in the second quarter of 1996. The total operating expenses
in the first six months of 1997 increased by 2% over the same period last
year. Continuing efforts to achieve cost efficiencies resulted in decreases
in operation and maintenance expenses of 4% and 2% for the second quarter
and first six months of 1997, respectively, in comparison to the same
periods in 1996. Depreciation expense was higher for the second quarter
and first six months of 1997 when compared to the second quarter and first
six months of 1996 due to growth in utility plant in service. General
taxes increased in the second quarter and first six months of 1997 when
compared to the same periods of 1996 reflecting higher property values and
increased gross receipts.

Results of Operations (contd.)
- ------------------------------
Income deductions, primarily interest, were 5% higher for the second
quarter and 11% higher for the first six months when compared to the same
periods in 1996. The increases can be attributed primarily due to an
increase in total debt to fund the construction of new water service assets
and the northeastern Pennsylvania acquisition.
The total allowance for funds used during construction recorded in the
second quarter of 1997 was 30% greater than the second quarter of 1996 as a
result of construction of new water service assets. The total allowance
for funds used during construction in the first six months of 1997
decreased 42% when compared to the same period in 1996. This decrease was
due to the completion of the Delaware River Regional Water Treatment Plant
in New Jersey which began operation in 1996.
Income taxes increased in the second quarter and the first six months of
1997 when compared to the same periods in 1996. The increases can be
attributed to increased earnings in 1997.
Net income to common stock was $30.6 million for the second quarter of 1997
compared with $25.5 million for the same period in 1996. Net income to
common stock for the first six months of 1997 was $47.7 million compared
with $41.5 million for the first six months of 1996. The first six months
of 1997 results included six months of the northeastern Pennsylvania
acquisition as compared to four and one-half months for the same period in
1996.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
- --------------------------------
All shares of common stock issued during 1997 have been the result of stock
issued in conjunction with the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase
Plan, the Employees Stock Ownership Plan, the Savings Plan for Employees,
and the Long-Term Performance-Based Incentive Plan.
During the balance of 1997, the Company plans to continue issuing common
stock through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and the
Savings Plan for Employees. Proceeds from the issuance of common stock
will fund additional equity investments in subsidiaries.
Six operating subsidiaries issued $107.0 million of long-term debt during
the first seven months of 1997. In addition, the Company invested $35.3
million in the common stock of seven subsidiaries. The proceeds from these
financing arrangements have been used to fund construction programs and
repay bank borrowings. It is anticipated that some subsidiaries will sell
long-term debt to institutional investors and common stock to the Company
during the remainder of 1997, with the proceeds used to repay bank loans
and to fund construction projects.
