      Commission dated May 23, 1996, the following is a report for the
      second quarter of 1999:


          1.  NEES Energy, Inc. (NEES Energy), a Massachusetts
              Corporation,was formed on June 14, 1996.  The corporation was
              capitalized on August 9, 1996 when one thousand shares of
              NEES Energy common stock were issued and sold to New England
              Electric System (NEES).


          2.  As of June 30, 1999 NEES had purchased 1,000 shares of NEES
              Energy common stock and made subordinated loans and other
              paid-in capital contributions to NEES Energy totaling
              $147,422,000 and $10,805,000, respectively.

              individuals assigned on a substantially full-time basis.


          4.  During the second quarter of 1999 NEES Energy had no kilowatt
              hours sold or marketed.

              is engaged in the business of marketing and selling energy
              commodities and energy related services.  In December of
              1997, NEES Energy increased its ownership share to 99%.


          6.  During the second quarter of 1998, a new energy related
              company was formed in Delaware and is 100% owned by NEES
              Energy; this company is also named AllEnergy Marketing Co.,
              L.L.C. (AllEnergy DE).  Effective January 1, 1999, AllEnergy
