1.  About Northeast Utilities

Northeast Utilities (NU) is the parent company of the Northeast Utilities
system (NU system).  The NU system's regulated utilities furnish franchised
retail electric service in Connecticut, New Hampshire and western Massachusetts
through three wholly owned subsidiaries:  The Connecticut Light and Power
Company (CL&P), Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) and Western
Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO).  Another wholly owned subsidiary,
North Atlantic Energy Corporation, sells all of its entitlement to the capacity
and output of the Seabrook Station (Seabrook) nuclear unit to PSNH under the
terms of two life-of-unit, full cost recovery contracts.  A fifth wholly owned
subsidiary, Holyoke Water Power Company, is also engaged in the production and
distribution of electric power.

Several wholly owned subsidiaries of NU provide support services for the NU
system companies and, in some cases, for other New England utilities.
Northeast Utilities Service Company provides centralized accounting,
administrative, information resources, engineering, financial, legal,
operational, planning, purchasing, and other services to the NU system
companies.  Northeast Nuclear Energy Company acts as agent for the NU system
companies and other New England utilities in operating the Millstone nuclear

responsibility for Seabrook.  Three other subsidiaries construct, acquire or

2.  About Select Energy

Select Energy provides both wholesale and retail energy and energy services
in the Northeast.  In addition, Select Energy markets natural gas and
develops and markets energy-related products and services in order to enhance
its core electric service offerings and customer relationships.

Select Energy is a retail electricity supplier in the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island and is a registered gas marketer with
specific local distribution companies in the states of Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode
Island.

Beginning in January 2000, Select Energy's contract with NGC, to purchase
1,289 megawatts (MW) of capacity and energy significantly reduced the load-
following risk and allowed Select Energy to better manage its portfolio
profitability.  On January 1, 2000, Select Energy began serving one-half of
CL&P's standard offer requirement for a 4-year period.  Select Energy's
obligation to service this load requirement was approximately 2,000 MW
beginning in July 2000, when 100 percent of CL&P's customers were able to
choose their electric supplier.  In addition, beginning in January 2000,
Select Energy assumed responsibility for serving 30 market based wholesale
contracts, totaling approximately 500 MW, throughout New England with
electric energy supply that was previously provided by CL&P and WMECO.

3.  About SEPPI

SEPPI was formed for the purpose of acquiring a five percent interest in the
Portland Natural Gas Transmission System partnership.  Coincident with that
acquisition, Select Energy agreed to purchase capacity of 30,000 mcf/day for
a 20-year term.

4.  About NGS

NGS was formed to provide management, operation and maintenance services to
the electric generation market, as well as to large industrial customers in
the Northeast.  NGS also provides consulting services which include
engineering services, construction management, permitting, and compliance
management.

5.  About Select Energy Contracting

designs, manages, and directs the construction of, and/or installation of
mechanical, water and electrical systems, energy and other resource consuming
equipment.

6.  About Reeds Ferry

purchase equipment on behalf of Select Energy Contracting.

 7.  About HEC/Tobyhanna

Effective September 30, 1999, HEC/Tobyhanna was established as a special
purpose entity to manage the assets of an Energy Savings Performance Contract
at the Tobyhanna Army Depot.

8.  About YESCO

The YESCO controls division provides comprehensive building automation
through engineering, installation and maintenance of building control
systems.  The YESCO mechanical services division provides comprehensive

tenants at the Center.  In June 2000, Southbridge was sold to an unaffiliated
company.

11.  Public Utility Regulation

NU is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a
holding company under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (1935
Act), and NU and its subsidiaries are subject to the provisions of the 1935
Act.  Arrangements among the NU system companies, outside agencies and other
utilities covering interconnections, interchange of electric power and sales
of utility property are subject to regulation by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) and/or the SEC.  The NU system operating
subsidiaries are subject to further regulation for rates, accounting and
other matters by the FERC and/or applicable state regulatory commissions.

12.  Presentation

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent 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.

13.  Commodity Derivatives

Select Energy, primarily through trading and marketing, manages its exposure
to risk from existing contractual commitments and provides risk management
services to its customers through forward contracts, futures, over-the
counter swap agreements, and options (collectively, "commodity derivatives").
Select Energy engages in the trading of commodity derivatives, and therefore
experiences net open positions.  Select Energy manages these open positions
with strict policies which limit its exposure to market risk and requires
daily reporting to management of potential financial exposure.  Commodity
derivatives utilized for trading purposes are accounted for using the mark-
to-market method, under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 98-10,
"Accounting for Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities."  Under this
methodology, these instruments are adjusted to market value, and the
unrealized gains and losses are recognized in income in the current period.
The mark-to-market position at June 30, 2000, was a positive $19.3 million.

14.  Special Deposits

Special deposits include cash collateral posted in connection with various
power purchase and sales agreements.

15.  Advance from Parent, Non-Interest Bearing

Select Energy received cash advances totaling $29.4 million from NUEI during
1999 and intends to repay the advances upon acquisition of external financing
at an unspecified date in the future.  No interest is being accrued on these
transactions.  No advances were received during the three months ended
June 30, 2000.
