REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Participants and Administrative Committee of the
Central Maine Power Company
Employee Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the Central Maine Power Company Employee Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees (the Plan) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 management, 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 benefits of the Central Maine Power Company Employee Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at the of year) as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the United States Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Central Maine Power Company
Employee Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2005 and 2004
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The following description of the Central Maine Power Company (Company) Employee Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees (Plan) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan was established by the Company on February 19, 1981, and became effective May 1, 1981, under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and it includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement as described in Section 401(k) of the Code for the benefit of eligible employees of the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Plan Administrator is the Company and an Administrative Committee has been appointed to serve as manager of the Plan.
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering non-union employees of the Company, as well as the non-union employees of the Energy East Corporation's (Energy East) family of companies that elect to participate under the Plan provisions. Energy East, the parent corporation of the Company, through its subsidiaries, delivers electricity and natural gas to retail customers and provides electricity, natural gas, energy management and other services to retail and wholesale customers in the Northeast.
Eligibility
Each full-time, part-time and temporary non-union employee of the Company, or an affiliated employer who is not in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement, is immediately eligible to participate in the Plan.
Contributions
Each participant elects a salary reduction percentage to be contributed to the Plan. Participants may elect to make contributions in amounts equal to 2% to 50% (in multiples of 1%) of their base compensation to the Plan through salary reduction agreements. As of January 1, 2002, participants age 50 or over by the end of the Plan year can make an additional contribution to the Plan in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 414(v) of the Code. The maximum additional contribution in 2003 was $2,000 and increased by $1,000 a year reaching a maximum of $5,000 in 2006. Participants can direct the investment of their contribution into various investment options offered by the Plan.
As of April 1, 2002, the Plan accepts rollovers from other qualified plans, as well as 403(b) and government 457 plans, traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), conduit IRAs (but not Roth IRAs), after-tax distributions from employer retirement plans and spousal death benefit payments.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)
Contributions (Continued)
The Company contributes to the Plan an amount equal to 60% of the first 5% of the salary reduction plus 50% of the next 2% for a possible total match of 4% on a 7% salary reduction. However, the total contribution that the Company is obligated to make for any year does not exceed the maximum amount deductible from the Company's gross income under applicable provisions of the Code. The Company's matching contribution is made simultaneously with the payroll cycle and is solely to the Energy East Corporation Stock Fund.
The Energy East Corporation Stock Fund is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Dividends from the ESOP may be reinvested or taken in cash.
Effective January 1, 2004, the Company's match for Union Water Power employees who participate in the Plan with at least one but less than 5 years of service is as follows: 75% up to 6% of pay, for employees with 5 or more years of service: 100% up to 6% of pay.
Benefit Payments
Upon termination of service a participant may elect either a lump sum amount equal to the value of the interest in the participant's account, or installments over a period permissible under the Code. Distributions made from the funds occur as a result of termination of employment, death, retirement or permanent disability no later than 60 days after the end of the Plan year, unless under certain circumstances participants elect otherwise.
A participant may elect to make a regular withdrawal of up to 100% of the value of the participant's contributions and earnings thereon under certain conditions (but not less than $1,000 unless the value of such participant's contributions and earnings thereon total less than $1,000, in which case such total may be withdrawn), after approval by the Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees Committee. Only one regular withdrawal may be made in any year.
Other withdrawals may be made only for reasons of hardship. With the consent of the Company's Savings and Investment Plan for Non-Union Employees Committee, a participant may elect to make a hardship withdrawal, as determined in accordance with the Plan provisions, of up to 100% of the participant's account.
Vesting
Participants are 100% vested in their account balances. Each participant's account consists of the participant's contributions and any rollover money, the matching Company contribution and any net earnings thereon.

1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (Continued)
Participant Loans
A Plan participant may borrow a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of one-half of the participant's vested account balances or $50,000, less the highest outstanding loan balance in the prior twelve months, whichever is less. Loan interest rates are set by the Committee in accordance with prevailing rates charged by local banks. Interest rates on loans outstanding at year end range from 6.25% to 10.06% for 2005 and from 7.25% to 10.06% for 2004. The maximum term of the loans is generally five years, or longer for loans to acquire a principal residence, with borrowed funds being repaid through payroll deductions.
If a participant's employment terminates for any reason, the loan will become immediately due and payable and must be paid within 90 days from the date of termination or will be considered a taxable distribution to the participant.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Shares of registered investment companies are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The stable value fund is stated at contract value. The Energy East Stock Fund, comprised solely of Energy East common stock, is valued at its quoted market price at year-end. Participant loans are valued at cost, which approximates fair value.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is accrued when earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits recorded when paid.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Plan Termination
Although the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the Plan, it has the right to discontinue contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan. In the event of termination of the Plan, the net assets of the Plan are set aside, first for payment of all Plan expenses, and second, for distribution to participants based upon the balances in their individual accounts.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in any combination of stocks, fixed income securities, mutual funds, and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risk in the near term could materially affect participants' account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits.
3. INVESTMENTS
The following presents investments that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets at December 31, 2005 and 2004:
2005 | 2004 | |
Energy East Corporation Stock | $ 7,011,060 | $ 7,940,431 |

Vanguard Institutional Index Fund | 25,781,354 | 34,469,209 |
Fidelity Diversified International Fund | 4,666,818 | - |
The plan has a deposit administration contract with J.P. Morgan (JPM). JPM maintains the Plan's deposits in a synthetic guaranteed investment contract, to which it adds interest at the contract rate (adjusted quarterly, not below 0%; 5.4% at December 31, 2005). Deposits into this contract are guaranteed the contract minimum rate of return. The weighted average interest rate earned for the year ended December 31, 2005 was 4.82%. Withdrawals are permitted at any time without penalty and the contract has been determined to be fully benefit responsive as defined in SOP 94-4. The investment is carried at contract value as reported by JPM. The fair value of the investment is not materially different from its contract value at December 31, 2005.
Plan investments (including gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in value during 2005 and 2004, as follows:
2005 | 2004 | |
Registered Investment Companies | $ 2,029,016 | $ 4,930,776 |

However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's management believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.
