REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Plan Administrator of the
Yankee Energy System, Inc.
401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of the Yankee Energy System, Inc.
401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the Plan) as of December
31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements and the schedules referred to below
are the responsibility of the Plan administrator. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by the Plan administrator, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules of reportable transactions and investments are
presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

YANKEE ENERGY SYSTEM, INC.
401(k) EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1993 AND 1992
1. Establishment of The Plan:
The Yankee Energy System, Inc. 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (the Plan) was established and effective on July 1, 1989
(the effective date) following the divestiture of the gas
business of the Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Northeast Utilities (NU) and the
related creation of Yankee Energy System, Inc. (YES). Each
transferred gas employee participating in the Northeast Utilities
Tax Reduction Act Employee Stock Ownership Plan (TRAESOP),
Payroll Based Employee Stock Ownership Plan (PAYSOP) or
Supplemental Retirement Savings Plan became a participant in the
Plan effective July 1, 1989. Participant account balances and
$7,203,056 in assets were transferred to the Plan on the
effective date. The assets were comprised of NU common stock and
cash.
2. Plan Description:
The following description of the Plan provides only general
information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for
a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
The Plan is a 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan established to
provide benefits to eligible employees. Participation in the
Plan is voluntary. Union-employees become eligible to
participate on the first day of the month following the
completion of one year of service. Non-union employees become
eligible to participate on the first day of the month following
the completion of six months of service.
The Plan consists of eight funds as follows:
Guaranteed Investment Contract (GIC) -
Available for conservative investment in fixed rate investment
contracts with a small balance in money market funds.
Employee Contribution Fund -
Holding account for employee contributions prior to investment.
Stock Company Match Fund -
Holding account for employer non-union matching contribution.
Fleet Common Stock Mutual Fund -
Available for investment in mutual funds.
<PAGE>
-7-
Northeast Utilities Stock Fund -
Account maintains Northeast Utilities stock belonging
to transferred CL&P and Northeast Utilities Service Company
(NUSCO) employees formerly participating in the NU Supplemental
Retirement Savings Plan.
Employer Match Fund -
Holding account for employer union matching contribution.
Stock Loan Fund -
Account maintains unallocated Company shares acquired with the
proceeds of note payable.
Participants contribute between 1% and 10% of compensation
subject to limitations set forth by the Plan. Investment of
employee contributions in the various funds is at the employees'
discretion. YES matches 100% of non-union employee pre-tax
contributions each month up to 3% of compensation and 50% of
union employee pre-tax contributions each month up to 5% of
compensation.
Unless a participant elects otherwise, benefit distributions are
made in lump sum not later than sixty days following the end of
the Plan year following the later of the participant's 65th
birthday, the 10th anniversary of the date on which participation
commenced or the termination of employment. In the event of the
death of a participant prior to distribution, benefits will be
paid to a designated beneficiary in a lump sum. Distribution
will commence not later than 90 days following the Plan year end
in which the participant attains age 70 and one half years.
Non-union employees become 100% vested upon commencing
participation in the Plan. Union employees shall at all times be
fully vested in employee contributions and will vest in the
employer contributions in accordance with the following schedule:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Years of Service Vesting %
<C> <C>
1 20%
2 40%
3 60%
4 80%
5 or more 100%
</TABLE>
The account balances of union employees, as of June 3, 1989,
formerly participating in the NU Supplemental Retirement Savings
Plan and NU TRAESOP and PAYSOP became fully vested on July 1,
1989.
Not withstanding the foregoing, union participants shall be fully
vested in employer contributions upon reaching age 65 or in the
event of death or total disability. Any union employee
forfeitures will be used to reduce future employer contributions.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of accounting -
The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. Negative cash
balances have been reclassified to accounts payable in the
accompanying financial statements.
Administrative Expenses -
Per section 19.09 of the Plan all administrative expenses of the
Plan are paid from the Plan assets unless paid by the Company.
Administrative expenses of approximately $37,000 and $14,000 were
paid by the Company in 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Valuation of Investments -
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Securities
traded on the national securities exchange are valued at the last
reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year.
Investments traded in the over-the-counter market and listed
securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued
at the last reported bid price. Guaranteed investment contracts
are valued at contract value.
Transactions within all funds are executed by the Plan trustee.
The accompanying Schedule of Investments reflects valuations as
of December 31, 1993.
Reclassifications -
Certain prior year amounts have been classified to conform with
current year classifications.
4. Investments:
The fair market value of individual investments that represent 5%
or more of the Plan's total net assets as of December 31, 1993
and 1992 are as follows:
<TABLE>

5. Note Payable:
The Plan has secured a $4,000,000 loan from a commercial bank to
Fleet Bank, N.A., the trustee, the proceeds of which were used to
buy YES common stock for the Plan. YES has guaranteed the loan.
The loan will be repaid over a ten year period ending July 1,
1999 at $400,000 per year plus interest at a rate of 10.38%.
Employer non-union matching contributions are used to make annual
principal payments. Interest is paid from the earnings of the
stock loan fund. As the loan is paid down, an equivalent amount
of YES stock, which serves as collateral, is released and
allocated to participants.
6. Tax Status:
The Plan has received a favorable letter of determination from
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) stating that it qualifies as
tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company believes that the Plan continues to qualify and to
operate as designed.
7. Termination of the Plan:
YES may suspend, terminate, or completely discontinue
contributions under the Plan with respect to its employees
subject to the provisions of ERISA relating to plan terminations.
Upon termination or partial termination of the Plan, the rights
of all affected participants to their accounts to the date of
such termination shall be fully vested to the extent funded.
8. Reconciliation to Form 5500:
As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Plan had approximately
$194,158 and $662,799, respectively, of pending distributions to
participants who elected to withdraw from the operation and
earnings of the Plan. These amounts are recorded as a liability
in the Plan's Form 5500; however, these amounts are not recorded
as a liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.
