BANGOR HYDRO-ELECTRIC COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations and
Financial Condition contained in Bangor Hydro-Electric Company's (the
"Company") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993
("1993 Form 10-K") should be read in conjunction with the comments below.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1994 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 1993
EARNINGS
As expected earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 were
significantly below earnings achieved in the comparable 1993 quarter, despite
the base rate increase effective March 1, 1994 (discussed below). Earnings
for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 were $.11 per common share compared to
$.46 per common share for the quarter ended March 31, 1993. Absent the
impact of the early retirement program recorded in March of 1994 (mentioned
below), earnings for the first quarter of 1994 would have been $.37 per
common share.
In March 1994 the Company implemented an early retirement plan in which
forty employees accepted the early retirement offer. Although this will mean
future savings, accounting guidelines require that a substantial portion of
the cost of the plan be charged to operations in the period that the plan is
<PAGE-4>
implemented. Since the plan was implemented in the first quarter of 1994,
the Company experienced a one-time non-cash charge of $1.7 million or $.26
per common share (net of income taxes). This charge exceeds by approximately
$800,000 the amount estimated at the time of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.
On March 1, 1994 the Company implemented new base rates as a result of
the Maine Public Utilities Commission ("MPUC") order of February 17 which
allowed an increase in base rates of $11.1 million and provided an authorized
return on common equity of 10.6%. The Company does not expect to realize this
level of return on common equity in 1994 due to several factors: Sales are
expected to be lower than the projections utilized by the MPUC in determining
the Company's base rate increase; in order to maintain continued sales to the
Company's second largest customer, James River (a large pulp and paper
manufacturer), the Company entered into a special contract with James River
which will reduce the base revenue contribution from that customer by about
$1 million annually from historical levels; and the one-time early retirement
program costs.
In 1991, the Company's largest industrial customer, LCP Chemicals
("LCP"), filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
On February 18, 1994, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of
substantially all of LCP's assets, including its Orrington, Maine facility,
to Holtrachem Manufacturing Company, L.L.C., and the transfer of ownership
was recently completed. Based upon its representations to the Bankruptcy
Court, it appears to be Holtrachem's intent to continue operation of the LCP
facility at Orrington, Maine. As part of its plan to transfer the plant,
<PAGE-5>
Holtrachem and LCP negotiated a special rate contract with the Company. This
special rate contract was approved by the MPUC order dated March 10, 1994.
However, the Company cannot predict the on-going level of sales. Further, as
part of the plan to transfer the plant and to obtain the special rate
contract, LCP agreed to release all pending legal claims against the Company.
REVENUES
The base rate revenue increase of $254,000 or 1.3% was due principally
to the 15.9% base rate increase which took effect on March 1, 1994, and
increased total kilowatt hour ("KWH") sales of 1.45% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1994. While KWH sales to LCP were flat in the first quarter of
1994 as compared to 1993, base rate revenue decreased $308,000 due to the
implementation of the new contract previously discussed. KWH sales to James
River, in the first quarter of 1994 were 32.75% greater than in 1993, but
base revenues increased by only 5.4% due to the implementation of the lower
base rates.
Fuel charge revenue decreased by $3.6 million or 11.8% in the first
quarter of 1994 over the same quarter of 1993. This decrease was due to the
12.5% fuel rate decrease effective in November 1, 1993, offset by the overall
1.45% increase in KWH sales [excluding sales which are reclassified under
Accounting Release 14 ("AR 14")] in the first quarter of 1994. The AR 14
reclassification resulted in additional fuel charge revenue of $3.09 million
for the first quarter of 1994 as compared to $4.24 million for the same
quarter of 1993.
<PAGE-6>
EXPENSES
As a result of the deferred fuel accounting methodology followed by the
Company, whereby retail fuel expense is recorded to match the fuel cost
portion of fuel charge revenue, fuel expense has decreased in proportion to
the decreases in the fuel cost portion of fuel charge revenue. Fuel expense
was also impacted by the AR 14 reclassification, which resulted in an
increase of $3.09 million in fuel expense for the first quarter of 1994
compared to an increase of $4.24 million for the same quarter of 1993.
Purchased power expense decreased by $739,000 or 18.9% in the first
quarter of 1994 as compared to the same quarter of 1993. The decrease was
due primarily to lower capacity and transmission costs associated with the
Maine Yankee nuclear plant in the first quarter of 1994.
Other operation and maintenance ("O & M") expense increased $3,328,000
or 50.8% in the first quarter of 1994. This expense has increased due
principally to the implementation of the early retirement program in the
first quarter of 1994, which resulted in approximately $2.8 million of
expense being recorded. The other O&M increase was also impacted by the
Company charging to operations beginning in March 1994 the full amount of
other postretirement benefit expense under FASB 106 in excess of the amount
recorded on a pay-as-you-go basis, which amounted to $134,000 of expense in
the first quarter of 1994. The Company also began amortizing, effective
March 1, 1994, certain deferred charges for which recovery was received in
the recent base rate order from the MPUC, amounting to $83,000 in 1994. In
addition in the first quarter of 1994, pension income decreased $106,000 as
compared to the first quarter of 1993. O&M payroll increased $283,000 due to
<PAGE-7>
vested vacation benefits paid to early retirees upon retirement, a 3.5% wage
rate increase for bargaining unit employees effective January 1, 1994, as
well as lower levels of capitalized payroll in 1994 as compared to 1993.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $54,000 or 4.3% due
to an increase in depreciable property.
Effective March 1, 1994 in connection with the recent base rate order
from the MPUC (previously discussed), the Company began amortizing the
deferred costs associated with the Beaver Wood Joint Venture purchased power
contract termination over a nine year period, in the amount of $324,000 per
month.
Property and payroll taxes increased $191,000 or 18.3% as a result of
higher levels of property taxes due to greater property levels, and higher
payroll taxes due to $147,000 in increased total payroll costs in the first
quarter of 1994.
Income taxes decreased $1,259,000 or 78.6% due principally to lower
taxable income. The effective federal income tax rate was 25% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1994 as compared to 30% for the 1993 quarter (See
Note 2).
Allowance for funds used during construction ("AFDC") increased; the
equity portion by $194,000 or 54.0% and the borrowed portion by $400,000 or
137.0% due principally to the accrual of carrying costs associated with the
above mentioned purchased power contract termination. In the first quarter
of 1994 approximately $676,000 in associated carrying costs were recorded.
In the first quarter of 1993 no such carrying costs were recorded. Effective
with the implementation of revised base rates on March 1, 1994, the Company
<PAGE-8>
discontinued the accrual of these carrying costs since the recovery of the
contract termination costs (including carrying costs and a return on
unamortized balances) is included in the revised rates. The increase in the
accrual of AFDC in 1994 was offset by the cessation of accruing AFDC on costs
related to the Basin Mills project effective December 31, 1993. In the first
quarter of 1993 $110,000 of AFDC was recorded on the Basin Mills costs.
Other income (expense), net of applicable taxes, declined by $153,000
due primarily to a change in LCP's electric rate.
Long-term debt interest expense increased by $348,000 or 14.7% due to
the issuance in June 1993 of $15 million of first mortgage bonds at an
interest rate of 7.3% and the issuance of $14.3 million of first mortgage
bonds at an interest rate of 12.25%. The latter bonds were issued in
exchange for other lenders' debt in connection with the buyout of the
purchased power contract with the Beaver Wood Joint Venture. These were
partially offset by reduced interest expense as a result of regular and
optional sinking fund payments on certain of the higher coupon bonds as well
as the redemption of the remaining balances of the 9.25% series due 2001,
8.25% series due 1999, and the 8.6% series due 2003.
Other interest expense is composed primarily of interest expense on
short term borrowings. This expense increased by $165,000 or 69% due to an
increase in average short term borrowings outstanding of approximately $16.5
million in the 1994 quarter as compared to 1993, offset by lower interest
rates in 1994.
<PAGE-9>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflect events in the first
quarters of 1994 and 1993 as they affect the Company's liquidity. Net cash
provided by operations was $13.2 million for the first quarter of 1994
compared with $8.5 million for the first quarter of 1993. The increase was
due in part to a $1.9 million reduction in accounts payable in the 1994
quarter as compared to a $3.9 million reduction in the 1993 quarter. In
addition, prepaid pension costs decreased by $1.7 million during the 1994
period against an $85,000 increase in the 1993 period. Further, the Company
received $1.2 million in funds from an escrow account related to certain
first mortgage bond indenture requirements in the first quarter of 1994.
These increases in cash flows were offset to some degree by a $1.8 million
reduction in net income in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to 1993.
Also reducing cash flows from operations was a $1.4 million increase in
accrued current income taxes in the 1993 quarter as compared to no change in
1994 quarter.
Deferred fuel, purchased power and interest costs decreased (which
represents an increase in cash flows) $5.7 million for the 1994 quarter as
compared to a $6.1 million decrease for the 1993 quarter.
On March 30, 1994 the Company completed a common stock offering that
raised approximately $14.1 million with the issuance and sale of 867,500 new
shares of common stock. The proceeds from the stock sale were utilized to
reduce the Company's short-term debt balance.
As previously discussed, external funds in the amount of $15 million
were provided in 1993 by the issue of first mortgage bonds. The documents
<PAGE-10>
governing these bonds do not provide for sinking fund payments. The bond
proceeds were used to reduce short-term debt balances and fund the Company's
construction program.
Under the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Common Stock Purchase Plan
the Company realized a common stock investment of $354,000 through the issue
of 19,780 new common shares in the first quarter of 1994 as compared to
$363,000 in the first quarter of 1993 through the issue of 18,793 common
shares.
The Company's bank borrowings are provided through a $25 million
revolving credit facility as well as $30 million in lines of credit. The
revolving credit facility, which expires in May 1994, is currently being
renegotiated with the participating banks.
As previously discussed, the Company made regular and optional sinking
fund payments on certain of the higher rate coupon bonds and also redeemed
the remaining principal balances of several series of first mortgage bonds in
1993.
The Company has been actively pursuing attempts to renegotiate other
high-cost non-utility generator contracts. If an agreement to renegotiate or
terminate the terms of the contracts were reached, substantial resources
would be required on the part of the Company to complete the transaction. It
is possible that because of the size of the financial commitment that would
be necessary the Company and its customers would be able to realize only a
portion of the potential benefits from such contract restructuring.
<PAGE-11>
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits" (FASB 112). The effect of FASB 112 on the Company's results of
operations and financial position was not material.

BANGOR HYDRO-ELECTRIC COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1994
(Unaudited)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. However, in the opinion of Bangor Hydro-Electric Company, the
disclosures contained in this Form 10-Q are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These statements should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and all
other information included in the 1993 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal
recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 1994 and the results of operations and cash flows for the quarters
ended March 31, 1994 and 1993.
The Company's significant accounting policies are described in the
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 1993 Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For interim reporting
purposes, the Company follows these same basic accounting policies but
considers each interim period as an integral part of an annual period.
Accordingly, certain expenses are allocated to interim periods based upon
estimates of such expenses for the year.
(2) INCOME TAXES
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB")
Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("FASB 109") the Company
recorded the following amounts as of March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993:
(000's)
1994 1993
------ -------
Deferred income taxes on temporary
differences on which deferred income
taxes had not been previously accrued $32,719 $32,464
Effect of the 1987 change to lower

In June 1993 the Company negotiated an agreement to cancel it
purchased power agreement with the Beaver Wood Joint Venture ("Beaver Wood").
In connection with the cancellation, the Company paid Beaver Wood $24 million
and additionally issued $14.3 million of a new series of 12.25% First
Mortgage Bonds due July 15, 2001 to the holders of Beaver Wood's debt in

Also in connection with the agreement, Beaver Wood paid the Company $1
million at the time of settling the transaction and has agreed to pay the
Company $1 million annually for the next six years. These payments are
secured by a mortgage on the property of the Beaver Wood facility.
