Item 2. Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition
and results of operations
Energy East Corporation
(a) Liquidity and Capital Resources
Restructuring
In 2002 Energy East Corporation (Energy East or the company) initiated a corporate restructuring to achieve optimum organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The savings from that initiative are essential for the company to meet the rate reduction or efficiency targets imputed in utility rates by regulators, as well as to meet the expectations of customers and investors. In the fourth quarter of 2002 Energy East recorded $41 million of restructuring expenses related to its voluntary early retirement and involuntary severance programs at six of its operating companies. (See report on Form 10-K for Energy East, Central Maine Power Company (CMP), New York State Electric & Gas Corporation (NYSEG) and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RG&E) for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7 - Liquidity and Capital Resources.) During 2003 the related involuntary severance liability decreased $9 million.
The voluntary early retirement resulted in a decline of 486 employees in the first quarter of 2003, including 34 from CMP, 210 from NYSEG and 176 from RG&E. Collectively the voluntary early retirement and involuntary severance programs are expected to result in a decline in overall employee headcount of approximately 650, or 8%, by the end of 2003.
Integration savings, previously estimated at over $80 million annually, are now expected to be approximately $100 million annually by 2006. Those savings, which include operating expenses and capital, will come from the consolidation of functions such as accounting, finance, information services and supply chain, as well as the implementation of other merger-enabled initiatives across the six operating utilities. The company completed its consolidation of information systems during the second quarter of 2003.
On March 18, 2003, Energy East filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requesting authorization to form a shared services company that will provide accounting, finance, information services and supply chain functions. Energy East expects that the SEC will act on the request in the second half of 2003.
Electric Delivery Business
Regional Transmission Organization (RTO): In July 2001 the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order requiring the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) and neighboring New England and Mid-Atlantic independent system operators (ISOs) to negotiate to form a single Northeast RTO. (See report on Form 10-K for Energy East, CMP, NYSEG and RG&E for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7 - Electric Delivery Business, Regional Transmission Organization.) NYSEG, CMP and RG&E have consistently advocated the formation of a Northeast/Mid-Atlantic RTO, including PJM Interconnection, L.L.C. (PJM), or functionally combined markets throughout the Northeast because they believe that a larger wholesale power market is essential to facilitate greater liquidity and competition. The negotiation ended without consensus, and FERC has not taken any further action.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Energy East Corporation
On January 16, 2003, ISO New England, Inc. (ISO New England) announced that it would work with New England transmission owners to seek input and the advice of all market participants, regulators and other stakeholders to pursue the creation of a New England-only RTO. ISO New England and the NYISO are considering individual RTO filings and better coordination with neighboring systems. CMP, NYSEG and RG&E are participating in these efforts.
FERC Standard Market Design: In October 2001 FERC commenced a proceeding to consider national standard market design (SMD) issues and in July 2002 issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (the SMD NOPR). The SMD NOPR proposes rules that would require, among other things, changes in the wholesale power markets, transmission planning, services and charges, market power monitoring and mitigation, and the organization and structure of ISOs. CMP, NYSEG and RG&E filed comments jointly with other transmission owners in November 2002 and in early 2003. On April 28, 2003, the FERC issued a white paper on SMD in which the FERC accommodates greater regional flexibility and seeks further comments. The SMD white paper includes a preference for energy markets based on locational marginal pricing (LMP), which represents a significant change for some regions of the country. The NYISO and ISO New England already operate markets based on LMP. The companies are unable to predict SMD's ultim ate effect, if any, on their results of operations or financial position.
Transmission Planning and Expansion and Generation Interconnection: In June and July 2001 FERC issued orders that address a number of transmission planning and expansion issues that would directly affect CMP, NYSEG and RG&E as transmission owners. The FERC orders discuss giving exclusive responsibility for the transmission planning process to RTOs, rather than the transmission owners, and also discuss redefining the cost-sharing responsibilities of interconnecting generators for transmission expansion costs. NYSEG, RG&E and other parties are in discussion with the NYISO on the formation of a formal regional planning process. On July 24, 2003, FERC issued orders regarding generation interconnection terms, conditions and cost allocation. The companies are analyzing the orders. Additional transmission planning and expansion proposals are included in the SMD NOPR. The companies are unable to predict the ultimate effect, if any, of the expected rulemakings on their transmission systems or on future capital expenditures.
In January 2003 FERC issued a proposed policy statement on transmission pricing. FERC proposes a 50 basis point return on equity adder on facilities over which transmission owners turn control to an RTO. The NYISO and ISO New England satisfy most of the requirements of an RTO. In addition, FERC proposes that unaffiliated third parties will receive the equivalent of an additional 150 basis point adder applicable to transmission facilities that transmission owning utilities divest. Finally, FERC proposes a 100 basis point adder for new transmission facilities found appropriate through an RTO planning process. The company filed comments on FERC's policy proposal in the first half of 2003.
NYISO Demand Curve Proposal: On May 20, 2003, FERC accepted a NYISO proposal to amend its services tariff to adopt a demand curve. The NYISO uses the demand curve to establish administratively determined electric capacity prices and the quantity of capacity that each load-serving entity, including NYSEG and RG&E, is required to purchase. NYSEG and RG&E expect that the demand curve will not have a material effect on their results of operations or financial position.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Energy East Corporation
CMP Alternative Rate Plan: In September 2000 the Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) approved CMP's Alternative Rate Plan (ARP 2000). ARP 2000 applies only to CMP's state jurisdictional distribution revenue requirement and excludes revenue requirements related to stranded costs and transmission services. ARP 2000 began January 1, 2001, and continues through December 31, 2007, with price changes, if any, occurring on July 1, in the years 2002 through 2007. In March 2003 CMP submitted its annual ARP filing proposing a decrease of 7.82% on the distribution portion of rates, which reflects a decrease in ice storm amortization expense and other items. In June 2003 the MPUC approved the decrease, which became effective July 1, 2003.
CMP Electric Transmission Rates: On June 30, 2003, CMP made its required annual informational filing with FERC, updating its local transmission formula rates. CMP's annual transmission revenue requirement decreased by $4 million reflecting decreased costs for calendar year 2002. Rates pursuant to this filing became effective July 1, 2003, for most customers.
CMP Electricity Supply Responsibility: Under Maine Law the MPUC can mandate that CMP be a standard-offer provider for supply service if the MPUC should deem bids by competitive suppliers to be unacceptable. CMP has no standard-offer obligations through February 2004. In July 2003 the MPUC chose suppliers of standard-offer electricity for the six months beginning September 1, 2003: FPL Energy Power Marketing, Inc. for medium class customers and Select Energy, Inc. for larger customers. If in the future CMP should have standard-offer obligations there would be no effect on net income because CMP is ensured cost recovery through Maine Law. CMP's revenues and purchased power costs will fluctuate, however, as its status as a standard-offer provider changes. (See report on Form 10-K for Energy East and CMP for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7 - Liquidity and Capital Resources.)
MPUC Stranded Cost Proceeding: In December 2002 the MPUC initiated an investigation to review CMP's current level of recovery of stranded costs, including the costs associated with decommissioning the Yankee Atomic plant. In June 2003 the MPUC approved a stipulation agreeing to a total of $7.4 million reduction in stranded cost rates over the period July 2003 through February 2005. The reduction reflects lower anticipated Maine Yankee costs and higher sales levels. The stipulation also provided for recovery of Yankee Atomic decommissioning costs not currently in rates.
In response to a request from the Industrial Energy Consumers Group to mitigate high supply prices, the MPUC ordered CMP to lower stranded cost prices for medium and large commercial and industrial customers by $.003 per kWh for the period July 2003 through February 2005. The mitigation is to be funded from CMP's asset sale gain account.
NYPSC-mandated Contracts with Two Customers: (See report on Form 10-K for Energy East and NYSEG for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7 - Liquidity and Capital Resources.) On July 24, 2002, NYSEG filed a petition with the New York State Supreme Court, Albany County, asking the court to overturn the New York State Public Service Commission's (NYPSC) orders directing NYSEG to enter into long-term electric service contracts with Nucor Steel Auburn, Inc. and Corning Incorporated. NYSEG believes the rates and the terms of those mandated contracts are unduly preferential and violate the law, NYSEG's tariffs and the NYPSC's guidelines. On December 9, 2002, the State Supreme Court dismissed NYSEG's petition.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Energy East Corporation
NYSEG appealed that dismissal to the Appellate Division, Third Department, of the New York State Supreme Court. On July 17, 2003, the Appellate Division affirmed the New York State Supreme Court's dismissal. NYSEG is exploring its options and has until August 21, 2003, to request permission to appeal that decision to the New York State Court of Appeals.
RG&E 2002 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding: In February 2002 RG&E filed a request with the NYPSC for new electric and natural gas rates to go into effect on January 15, 2003. The single year filing, as updated, supported an increase in annual electric rates of $40 million, or 5.7%, and an increase in natural gas rates of $19 million, or 6.6%. In December 2002 the administrative law judge (ALJ) in this proceeding issued a recommended decision that, if approved, would have resulted in a $9 million, or 3.3%, overall increase for natural gas service and no increase for electric service.
On March 7, 2003, the NYPSC issued an order (Order) in the proceeding authorizing a $16 million electric revenue requirement reduction. The order requires a $16 million increase in the amortization of previously deferred costs, without increasing electric rates. The NYPSC also limited the natural gas rate increase to $6 million, or 1.9%. The rate decision set the cost of equity at 9.96%, with an equity ratio of 41.4% and an overall weighted cost of capital of 8.11%. The NYPSC also credited to customers $55 million of electric earnings that, according to the NYPSC, exceeded a preset level under the five-year rate plan that expired on June 30, 2002, subject to a final audit of the fifth year amount. The NYPSC also ignored the costs of replacement power that will be incurred during the required Ginna nuclear plant refueling outage in the fall of 2003.
RG&E is disappointed with the Order because it ignores the record that was developed in the proceeding, reverses many of the recommendations of the ALJ without adequate explanation and does not provide adequate revenue for RG&E to earn its authorized rate of return. In May 2003 RG&E began a proceeding to appeal the most objectionable errors in the Order. That proceeding is now before the Appellate Division, Third Department, of the New York State Supreme Court. A decision on the proceeding is expected early in 2004.
RG&E Cost Deferral Petitions: On April 9, 2003, RG&E filed a letter with the NYPSC requesting the deferral of costs, including interest, for restoration work resulting from a severe ice storm that began on April 3, 2003, and replacement purchased power costs to be incurred in 2003 due to a scheduled refueling outage for the Ginna nuclear generating station (Ginna). The deferred costs are estimated to be $30 million for repairs required due to the ice storm and $16 million for the Ginna replacement purchased power.These costs are included in RG&E's 2003 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding described below.
On April 29, 2003, RG&E received a response from the NYPSC that described the NYPSC's history of allowing net prudent costs of this nature, which have a material effect on earnings, to be deferred and recovered from customers. The letter acknowledged that those costs are not currently included in RG&E's rates. Based on the NYPSC letter, RG&E believes that recovery is probable and, therefore, will defer those costs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, pending approval from the NYPSC, which is expected in early 2004.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Energy East Corporation
On May 15, 2003, RG&E filed a letter with the NYPSC seeking deferral and true up of an estimated $9 million of pension costs in accordance with the NYPSC's Statement of Policy Concerning the Accounting and Ratemaking Treatment for Pensions and Post Retirement Benefits Other than Pensions. The request covers the 16-month period January 1, 2003, through May 1, 2004, the expected effective date of rates in RG&E's 2003 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding.
RG&E 2003 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding: On May 16, 2003, RG&E filed a new rate case with the NYPSC to recover costs that RG&E has incurred and will continue to incur in providing safe and reliable electric and natural gas service. The filing proposes an annual increase in electric rates of $105 million, or 16.2%, and an annual increase in natural gas rates of $25 million, or 7.6% overall and 19.7% on delivery rates. RG&E's filing cites inadequate rate relief from the NYPSC's Order issued March 7, 2003, increased costs (see RG&E Cost Deferral Petitions) and the need for a fair and reasonable return on equity of 11.5%. RG&E expects the NYPSC will issue a rate order in April 2004, with rates to become effective May 1, 2004, unless long-term rate plans are negotiated and approved earlier.
RG&E Electric Rate Unbundling: On June 5, 2003, as required by the NYPSC's Order issued March 7, 2003, RG&E filed with the NYPSC to unbundle supply charges and to create electricity supply options for all customers. RG&E expects that this filing will be incorporated into its pending 2003 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding. In that proceeding RG&E proposes to continue to charge customers bundled rates, with an Electric Supply Reconciliation Mechanism, for the period May 1, 2004, through December 31, 2004. RG&E's unbundling filing proposes separate delivery and supply service options (modeled on NYSEG's supply service options) to become effective January 1, 2005, for two periods of two years: 2005 through 2006 and 2007 through 2008.
Sale of Ginna Station and Relicensing: In June 2003 RG&E announced that it intends to seek bids for the sale of its Ginna nuclear generating station (Ginna station), which it owns and operates. RG&E expects to announce the successful bidder by the fourth quarter of 2003 and to close the transaction in mid-2004. The completion of the transaction is dependent on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), FERC, NYPSC and other regulatory bodies approving the sale on terms acceptable to RG&E and the renewal of Ginna's operating license.
The Ginna station operating license expires in 2009. In July 2002 RG&E filed a license renewal application with the NRC, which, if approved, would extend the license to September 19, 2029. The NRC has deemed the application complete. The NRC held two sets of public meetings in 2002 and one in 2003. A decision on this matter is expected by the end of June 2004.
RG&E Union Vote:On April 1, 2003, RG&E's electric and gas field operations personnel voted to be represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. RG&E recognizes the employees' right to make this decision and respects the collective votes of its employees.
Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation Recovery: RG&E and NYSEG began cost contribution actions against FirstEnergy Corp. (formerly GPU, Inc.) in federal district court; RG&E in the Western District of New York in August 2000 and NYSEG in the Northern District of New York in April 2003. The actions are for both past and future costs incurred for the investigation and

remediation of inactive manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites. The RG&E action is being litigated and mediated concurrently and the parties are in the final stages of discovery. RG&E and NYSEG are unable to predict the outcome of these actions at this time.
Natural Gas Delivery Business
RG&E Natural Gas Supply Agreement: RG&E entered into a two-year supply portfolio management agreement that began in April 2002 with Dynegy Marketing and Trade, for Dynegy to assist RG&E in the cost-effective management of RG&E's firm contractual rights to natural gas supply, transportation and storage services. The agreement was designed to ensure that RG&E could reliably meet its customers' supply requirements while seeking to minimize the annual delivered cost of natural gas. RG&E terminated its agreement with Dynegy after Dynegy announced in October 2002 that it would exit the marketing and trading business over the next several months. RG&E entered into a new portfolio management agreement with Entergy-Koch Trading, LP that extends through March 31, 2004, and includes the same reliability and cost-minimization objectives as the prior agreement with Dynegy. RG&E and Dynegy have entered into an agreement that resolves all issues in connection with the termination of the Dynegy management agreement.

NYPSC Collaborative on End State of Energy Competition: In March 2000 the NYPSC instituted a proceeding to address the future of competitive natural gas and electricity markets, including the role of regulated utilities in those markets. Other objectives of the proceeding include identifying and suggesting actions to eliminate obstacles to the development of those competitive markets and providing recommendations concerning Provider of Last Resort and related issues. A recommended decision (RD) addressing these matters is before the NYPSC.
In a separate phase of this proceeding, the NYPSC issued an order in November 2001 directing the development of embedded cost of service studies for use in implementing unbundled rates. A separate RD on the embedded cost of service studies filed by NYSEG and Consolidated Edison was issued on March 24, 2003. That RD discusses the utilities' cost studies and concludes that they generally comply with the NYPSC's directives. The RD recommended adoption of NYSEG's lost revenue recovery mechanisms contained in NYSEG's electric and natural gas joint proposals. Briefs on the recommended decision were filed in April 2003 by NYSEG and RG&E. NYSEG took exception to the RD's treatment of certain costs. RG&E filed its brief on exception, not taking formal exception to any of the RD's proposals, but commenting that given the material differences among utilities, it would be both impossible and improper to impose the conclusions in this RD on the remaining utilities in this proceeding.
Berkshire Gas Union Contract: Effective April 1, 2003, the union contract expired between The Berkshire Gas Company (Berkshire Gas) and the local union of the United Steelworkers of America. Berkshire Gas and the local union have been unable to negotiate a new contract and
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations

a work stoppage involving approximately 57% of the workforce is in effect. The net additional cost of operating Berkshire Gas while the work stoppage is in effect is approximately $200,000 per month.
CNG Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause: In April 2002 the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) initiated a semiannual review of Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation's (CNG) Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause (PGA). The DPUC issued its draft decision in December 2002, disallowing approximately $1 million of natural gas costs that would be returned to customers through the PGA. As a result, at December 31, 2002, CNG recognized a liability of $1 million for those costs. On May 28, 2003, the DPUC issued its final decision in this matter, modifying the draft decision and removing the disallowance. The DPUC also notified CNG concerning transactions to be reviewed in the next semiannual review in August 2003, for which a final decision is due in October 2003. CNG is retaining its $1 million reserve contingency to cover the period November 1, 2001, through October 31, 2003, pending completion of the DPUC's review. CNG cannot predict the final outcome of this proceeding.
Connecticut Merger-Enabled Gas Supply Savings and Gas Cost Reduction Plan Filings: In 2001 CNG and The Southern Connecticut Gas Company (SCG) submitted filings to the DPUC regarding merger-enabled gas supply savings (MEGS) and a gas-cost reduction plan, which covered the initial period April 1, 2001, through September 30, 2001. CNG provided calculations for total MEGS of $1.3 million and SCG provided calculations for total MEGS of $2.2 million. On February 26, 2003, based on their understanding of the components of MEGS, the DPUC issued a draft decision on CNG's and SCG's filed MEGS and gas-cost reduction plan results, modifying the MEGS amounts to $134,000 for CNG and $9,000 for SCG. CNG and SCG filed comments and additional detail with regard to the draft decision on April 28, 2003, the DPUC's extended due date. The comments included a discussion of the benchmark standards set in the draft decision and how merger-enabled gas supply savings should be defined, quantified and shared among cus tomers and shareholders. CNG and SCG cannot predict the final outcome of these proceedings.
Other Businesses
Sale of Other Businesses: The company continues to rationalize its nonutility businesses to ensure they fit its strategic focus. In May 2003 Berkshire Propane Inc., a subsidiary of Berkshire Energy Resources, sold about one-fourth of its assets and customers for approximately book value.
Investing and Financing Activities
Investing Activities: Capital spending for the first six months of 2003 was $113 million, including nuclear fuel. Capital spending is projected to be $338 million for 2003, including nuclear fuel, and is expected to be paid for with internally generated funds. Capital spending will be primarily for the extension of energy delivery service, necessary improvements to existing facilities, compliance with environmental requirements and governmental mandates and merger integration.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
Energy East Corporation
Financing Activities: During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the company issued 584,783 shares of common stock at an average price of $19.31 per share, substantially all through its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. The shares issued included 331,797 treasury shares and 252,986 newly issued shares.
In February 2003 the company issued 229,230 shares of common stock out of its treasury stock, to certain employees through its Restricted Stock Plan, and recorded deferred compensation of $4.4 million based on the market price of $19.20 per share of common stock on the date of the award. (See Item 1 - Note 4 to Energy East's Consolidated Financial Statements.)
The company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC in June 2003 to sell up to $1 billion in an unspecified combination of debt, preferred stock, common stock and trust preferred securities. The company plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this shelf registration for general corporate purposes, such as the repurchase or refinancing of securities. The company currently has $5 million available under a previous shelf registration statement.
In August 2003 CMP issued $35.7 million of Series E Medium Term Notes at a fixed rate of 5.1%, due August 2013. The proceeds will be used to help repay $50 million of medium-term notes that mature in August 2003.
In March 2003 NYSEG filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to sell up to $300 million in an unspecified combination of debt and preferred stock. NYSEG plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this shelf registration for general corporate purposes, such as retirement or repurchase of certain of its indebtedness or preferred stock, reduction of short-term debt, financing the development and construction of new facilities and additions to working capital. NYSEG currently has $50 million available under a previous shelf registration statement.
In April 2003 NYSEG redeemed, at a premium, $50 million of 7.55% Series first mortgage bonds callable on April 1, 2003, using commercial paper. In June and July 2003 NYSEG redeemed $100 million of 7.45% Series first mortgage bonds: $23 million was redeemed at par on June 30, 2003, pursuant to a sinking fund provision in NYSEG's mortgage indenture and $77 million was redeemed at a premium on July 15, 2003. NYSEG has no more first mortgage bonds outstanding and intends to discharge its first mortgage indenture in the second half of 2003.
In May 2003 NYSEG issued $200 million of 5 3/4% unsecured notes due in May 2023 under the shelf registration statement described above. The proceeds were used to refund commercial paper that was used in April 2003 to redeem the $50 million of 7.55% Series first mortgage bonds and to redeem the $100 million of 7.45% Series first mortgage bonds.
NYSEG will amortize, over the term of the 5 3/4% unsecured notes, a $1.4 million premium on the redemption of its 7.55% Series first mortgage bonds, a $2.7 million premium on the redemption of its 7.45% Series first mortgage bonds and related unamortized debt expenses and debt issuance costs for both redemptions.

In January 2003 RG&E used an equity contribution from its parent, RGS Energy, along with internally generated funds, to pay off the remaining $80 million balance of a 7% promissory note that was due in 2014.
During the first quarter of 2003 RG&E paid at maturity $40 million of first mortgage bonds using temporary cash investments and internally generated funds.
RG&E filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC in May 2003 to sell up to $300 million in debt. RG&E plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under that shelf registration for general corporate purposes, such as retirement or repurchase of certain of its indebtedness or preferred stock, reduction of short-term debt, financing the development and construction of new facilities and additions to working capital. RG&E currently has $75 million available under a previous shelf registration statement.
In July 2003 RG&E paid at maturity $40 million of first mortgage bonds using primarily temporary cash investments and internally generated funds.
RG&E plans to issue $75 million of long-term debt in the third quarter of 2003 under the shelf registration statement described above, to replace the $80 million of first mortgage bonds that matured earlier in the year. Through financial instruments issued in April 2003, Energy East has locked in the 30-year treasury rate component for $50 million of that financing at a fixed rate of 4.902%.
Critical Accounting Policies
(See Energy East's report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7, Critical Accounting Policies.)
Asset Retirement Obligation: As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, the company recorded a liability for the fair value of its asset retirement obligation on January 1, 2003. The company will adjust the liability to its present value periodically over time, and the capitalized cost will be depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The determination of the liability includes various assumptions, the primary assumptions being the discount rate and forecasted cash flows. Changes in those assumptions could have a significant effect on the amount of the company's asset retirement obligation. The company's asset retirement obligation is recovered through rates collected from customers, therefore, the depreciation of the capitalized costs and adjustments to the liability are deferred until those amounts are included in rates. (See Item 1 - Note 6 to Energy East's Consolidated Financial State ments.)

(b)Results of Operations
Due to the merger completed in June 2002, the company's results of operations include RGS Energy for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2003.
Three months ended June 30 (Thousands, except per share amounts) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Operating Revenues | $1,071,045 | $714,874 | 50% |
Operating Income | $123,313 | $81,476 | 51% |
Net Income | $27,717 | $5,323 | 421% |
Average Common Shares Outstanding, basic | 145,415 | 117,820 | 23% |
Earnings Per Share, basic and diluted | $.19 | $.05 | 280% |
Dividends Paid per Share | $.25 | $.24 | 4% |
Earnings per share for the quarter were 19 cents compared to 5 cents for the prior year quarter. The increase in earnings per share for the quarter was primarily the result of decreases in costs that include 6 cents per share for lower purchased power costs and 6 cents per share for integration savings and other cost control efforts. The increase in earnings also included 8 cents per share for a loss from the early retirement of debt in 2002 and 1 cent per share from a writedown of an investment in NEON Communications in 2002. The increase was partially reduced by 4 cents per share due to lower noncash pension income and 4 cents per share for lower electricity transmission revenues.
Six months ended June 30 (Thousands, except per share amounts) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Operating Revenues | $2,710,392 | $1,743,452 | 55% |
Operating Income | $423,628 | $320,346 | 32% |
Net Income | $163,181 | $110,893 | 47% |
Average Common Shares Outstanding, basic | 145,256 | 117,273 | 24% |
Earnings Per Share, basic and diluted | $1.12 | $.95 | 18% |
Dividends Paid per Share | $.50 | $.48 | 4% |
Earnings per share for the six months were $1.12 compared to 95 cents for the prior year period. The increase in earnings per share for the 2003 period was primarily the result of 17 cents per share for higher electric and natural gas deliveries due to colder winter weather in 2003. A decrease in the cost of natural gas, which includes NYSEG's natural gas supply charge that went into effect October 1, 2002, added 5 cents per share to earnings. Integration savings and other cost control efforts added 12 cents per share to earnings. The increase in earnings also included 8 cents per share for a loss from the early retirement of debt in 2002 and 6 cents per share from the writedown of an investment in NEON Communications in 2002. Those increases were reduced 16 cents per share due to electric rate decreases, substantially all from an annualized reduction of $205 million ordered by the NYPSC for NYSEG, the company's largest utility. Earnings were further reduced 8 cents per share due to lower noncash pen sion income and 5 cents per share due to lower transmission revenues.

Operating Results for the Electric Delivery Business
Three months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Retail Deliveries - Megawatt-hours | 7,141 | 5,316 | 34% |
Operating Revenues | $640,035 | $504,364 | 27% |
Operating Expenses | $536,329 | $437,334 | 23% |
Operating Income | $103,706 | $67,030 | 55% |
Operating revenues were $136 million higher for the quarter as a result of the addition of RG&E delivery revenues of $166 million. That amount was partially offset by reductions of $13 million caused by the elimination in 2002 of the partial amortization of NYSEG's asset sale gain account, which was used to fund a portion of NYSEG's price reduction effective March 1, 2002, $11 million due to lower transmission revenues and $5 million as a result of customers choosing alternate suppliers partially offset by customers choosing the bundled rate option.
The $99 million increase in operating expenses for the quarter was primarily due to addition of RG&E operating expenses of $136 million and $6 million due to lower noncash pension income. Those increases were partially offset by decreases in purchased power of $17 million due to customers choosing alternate suppliers and $7 million because of lower purchased power prices and an $18 million decrease due to integration savings and other cost control efforts. RG&E deferred $23 million of operating expenses during the second quarter for restoration work resulting from a severe ice storm in April 2003.

Operating Expenses | $1,139,237 | $905,289 | 26% |
Operating Income | $259,511 | $230,115 | 13% |
Operating revenues were $263 million higher for the six months as a result of the addition of RG&E delivery revenues of $343 million and higher retail deliveries of $22 million because of colder winter weather in 2003. Those amounts were partially offset by decreases of $17 million because CMP is no longer the standard-offer provider for the supply of electricity effective March 2002, $8 million because of a decrease in amortization of CMP's asset sale gain, $62 million due to the combined effects of NYSEG's price reduction, effective March 1, 2002, and customers choosing alternate suppliers, and $13 million due to lower transmission revenues.
The $234 million increase in operating expenses for the six months was primarily due to the addition of RG&E operating expenses of $282 million and lower noncash pension income of $13 million. Those amounts were partially offset by decreases in purchased power of $17 million because CMP is no longer the standard-offer provider for the supply of electricity effective March 2002 and $11 million due to the effect of customers choosing alternate suppliers partially offset by increases caused by both higher market prices and higher retail deliveries because of colder winter weather. Operating expenses also decreased $26 million due to integration savings and cost control efforts, $8 million because of a decrease in wholesale nonutility generator purchases and $4 million due to the elimination of a regulatory

(b)Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Retail Deliveries - Megawatt-hours | 2,110 | 1,991 | 6% |
Operating Revenues | $135,259 | $139,208 | (3%) |
Operating Expenses | $124,223 | $129,160 | (4%) |
Operating Income | $11,036 | $10,048 | 10% |
Earnings Available for Common Stock | $2,460 | $4,932 | (50%) |
Earnings for the quarter decreased $2 million as a result of a $3 million increase in income taxes.
The $4 million decrease in operating revenues is primarily the result of an approximately $1 million decrease in accrued demand-side management (DSM) revenues due to lower costs and a $2 million reduction in an electric conservation assessment for a low income program.
The $5 million decrease in operating expenses is primarily the result of a $1 million decrease in other operating expenses due to lower DSM costs and a $2 million decrease in other taxes.
Six months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Retail Deliveries - Megawatt-hours | 4,373 | 4,235 | 3% |
Operating Revenues | $311,676 | $339,822 | (8%) |
Operating Expenses | $255,895 | $284,829 | (10%) |
Operating Income | $55,781 | $54,993 | 1% |
Earnings Available for Common Stock | $26,202 | $27,854 | (6%) |
Earnings for the six months decreased $2 million as a result of a $3 million increase in income taxes.
The $28 million decrease in operating revenues is the result of CMP no longer being the standard-offer provider for the supply of electricity effective March 2002, which reduced revenues $17 million, a decrease in amortization of the asset sale gain of $8 million and a decrease in accrued DSM revenues of approximately $3 million due to lower costs.
The $29 million decrease in operating expenses is the result of CMP no longer being the standard-offer provider for the supply of electricity effective March 2002, which reduced operating expenses $17 million, a decrease in wholesale nonutility generator purchases of $8 million, lower amortization of ice storm expense of $2 million and reduced DSM expenses of $2 million.

Investing Activities
Investing Activities: Capital spending for the first six months of 2003 was $39 million. Capital spending is projected to be $95 million for 2003 and is expected to be paid for with internally generated funds. Capital spending will be primarily for necessary improvements to existing facilities, the extension of energy delivery service, compliance with environmental requirements and governmental mandates and merger integration.
Financing Activities: In March 2003 NYSEG filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC to sell up to $300 million in an unspecified combination of debt and preferred stock. NYSEG plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this shelf registration for general corporate purposes, such as retirement or repurchase of certain of its indebtedness or preferred stock, reduction of short-term debt, financing the development and construction of new facilities and additions to working capital. NYSEG currently has $50 million available under a previous shelf registration statement.
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
New York State Electric & Gas Corporation
In April 2003 NYSEG redeemed, at a premium, $50 million of 7.55% Series first mortgage bonds callable on April 1, 2003, using commercial paper. In June and July 2003 NYSEG redeemed $100 million of 7.45% Series first mortgage bonds: $23 million was redeemed at par on June 30, 2003, pursuant to a sinking fund provision in NYSEG's mortgage indenture and $77 million was redeemed at a premium on July 15, 2003. NYSEG has no more first mortgage bonds outstanding and intends to discharge its first mortgage indenture in the second half of 2003.
In May 2003 NYSEG issued $200 million of 5 3/4% unsecured notes due in May 2023 under the shelf registration statement described above. The proceeds were used to refund commercial paper that was used in April 2003 to redeem the $50 million of 7.55% Series first mortgage bonds and to redeem the $100 million of 7.45% Series first mortgage bonds.
NYSEG will amortize, over the term of the 5 3/4% unsecured notes, a $1.4 million premium on the redemption of its 7.55% Series first mortgage bonds, a $2.7 million premium on the redemption of its 7.45% Series first mortgage bonds and related unamortized debt expenses and debt issuance costs for both redemptions.

(b)Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Operating Revenues | $413,364 | $425,445 | (3%) |
Operating Income | $70,119 | $61,519 | 14% |
Earnings Available for Common Stock | $29,824 | $13,046 | 129% |
Earnings for the quarter were $17 million higher than for the prior year quarter primarily due to the effect of a $10 million loss from the early retirement of debt in 2002, $8 million for lower purchased power costs and customers choosing alternate suppliers and $6 million for integration savings and cost control efforts. Those increases were partially offset by reductions to earnings of $6 million for lower transmission revenues and $3 million for lower noncash pension income.
Six months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Operating Revenues | $989,095 | $982,699 | 1% |
Operating Income | $190,767 | $204,451 | (7%) |
Earnings Available for Common Stock | $90,342 | $82,568 | 9% |
Earnings increased $8 million for the six months primarily due to increases of $18 million due to higher electric and natural gas retail deliveries because of colder winter weather, $9 million for integration savings and cost control efforts, $10 million due to the effect of a loss from the early retirement of debt in 2002, $4 million for the recovery of natural gas prices through the gas

supply charge and $5 million due to lower interest charges as a result of refinancings and repayments of first mortgage bonds. Those increases were partially offset by earnings reductions of $30 million caused by an electric price reduction effective March 1, 2002, $8 million for lower transmission revenues, and $7 million for lower noncash pension income.
Operating Results for the Electric Delivery Business
Three months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Retail Deliveries - Megawatt-hours | 3,362 | 3,325 | 1% |
Operating Revenues | $338,353 | $365,098 | (7%) |
Operating Expenses | $276,011 | $308,109 | (10%) |
Operating Income | $62,342 | $56,989 | 9% |
The $27 million decrease in operating revenues for the quarter is primarily due to reductions of $13 million caused by the elimination in 2002 of the partial amortization of an asset sale gain account, which was used to fund a portion of the price reduction effective March 1, 2002, $10 million due to lower transmission revenues and $5 million as a result of customers choosing alternate suppliers partially offset by customers choosing the bundled rate option.
Operating expenses decreased $32 million for the quarter as a result of decreases in purchased power of $17 million due to customers choosing alternate suppliers and $7 million because of lower purchased power prices, and a decrease of $9 million due to integration savings and cost control efforts. Those decreases were partially offset by an increase of $5 million due to lower noncash pension income.
Six months ended June 30 (Thousands) | 2003 | 2002 | Change |
Retail Deliveries - Megawatt-hours | 7,408 | 7,061 | 5% |
Operating Revenues | $744,320 | $795,472 | (6%) |
Operating Expenses | $600,753 | $620,333 | (3%) |
Operating Income | $143,567 | $175,139 | (18%) |
Operating revenues for the six months decreased $51 million primarily due to the combined effects of a price reduction, effective March 1, 2002, and customers choosing alternate suppliers that reduced revenues $62 million and a reduction in transmission revenues of $13 million. Those decreases were partially offset by higher retail deliveries of $22 million because of colder winter weather.
The $20 million decrease in operating expenses for the six months was primarily the result of a $12 million decrease due to integration savings and cost control efforts, an $11 million decrease in purchased power caused by the effect of customers choosing alternate suppliers partially offset by increases due to both higher market prices and higher retail deliveries because of colder winter weather, and a $4 million decrease due to the elimination of a regulatory amortization of DSM program costs. Those decreases were partially offset by an $11 million increase due to lower noncash pension income.

Operating Expenses | $67,234 | $55,817 | 20% |
Operating Income | $7,777 | $4,530 | 72% |
The $15 million increase in operating revenues for the quarter is primarily due to increases of $8 million due to gas cost recovery resulting from a natural gas supply charge, $3 million due to an increase in prices for wholesale sales because of market conditions and $2 million from higher retail deliveries because of colder weather.
Operating expenses increased $11 million for the quarter primarily due to a $9 million increase in the cost of natural gas, after various deferrals of gas costs for future recovery.

Investing and Financing Activities
Investing Activities: Capital spending for the first six months of 2003 was $40 million, including nuclear fuel. Capital spending is projected to be $146 million for 2003, including nuclear fuel, and is expected to be paid for with internally generated funds. Capital spending will be primarily for the extension of energy delivery service, necessary improvements to existing facilities, compliance with environmental requirements and governmental mandates and merger integration.
Financing Activities: In January 2003 RG&E used an equity contribution from its parent, RGS Energy, along with internally generated funds, to pay off the remaining $80 million balance of a 7% promissory note that was due in 2014.
During the first quarter of 2003 RG&E paid at maturity $40 million of first mortgage bonds using temporary cash investments and internally generated funds.
RG&E filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC in May 2003 to sell up to $300 million in debt. RG&E plans to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities under this shelf registration for general corporate purposes, such as retirement or repurchase of certain of its indebtedness or preferred stock, reduction of short-term debt, financing the development and construction of new facilities and additions to working capital. RG&E currently has $75 million available under a previous shelf registration statement.
In July 2003 RG&E paid at maturity $40 million of first mortgage bonds using primarily temporary cash investments and internally generated funds.
RG&E plans to issue $75 million of long-term debt in the third quarter of 2003 under the shelf registration statement described above, to replace the $80 million of first mortgage bonds that matured earlier in the year.

Earnings increased $32 million for the quarter. Higher electric and natural gas deliveries this quarter added $14 million to earnings. Earnings for the quarter also increased $4 million because of a scheduled refueling outage at the Ginna nuclear plant that added to purchased power costs in 2002 and $9 million due to a writedown of software development costs that reduced earnings in 2002.

Earnings for the six months increased $12 million due to an increase of $23 million for higher natural gas and electric deliveries primarily due to colder winter weather in 2003. Earnings for the six months also increased $7 million because of a scheduled refueling outage at the Ginna nuclear plant that added to purchased power costs in 2002 and $9 million due to a writedown of software development costs that reduced earnings in 2002. Those increases were partially offset by the recognition of the terms and conditions of the NYPSC rate order for RG&E, which became effective January 15, 2003, and reduced earnings $30 million. That amount includes $26 million for excess electric earnings and related interest. (See RG&E 2002 Electric and Gas Rate Proceeding.)

The accompanying unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, in the opinion of the management of the registrants, for a fair presentation of the interim results. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
Energy East's financial statements and CMP's financial statements consolidate their majority-owned subsidiaries after eliminating all intercompany transactions.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements for each registrant should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in the report on Form 10-K filed by each registrant for the year ended December 31, 2002. Due to the seasonal nature of the registrants' operations, financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends for a 12-month period.
Note 2. Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of 2002 the company recorded $41 million of restructuring expenses, including $5 million for CMP, $26 million for NYSEG and a total of $10 million for Berkshire Gas, CNG and SCG. During 2003 the related involuntary severance liability decreased $9 million. The restructuring expenses would have been $36 million higher, however RG&E was required by an NYPSC order approving RGS Energy's merger with the company to defer its portion of the restructuring charge for future recovery in rates. The employee positions affected by the restructuring were identified in the fourth quarter of 2002. The restructuring expenses reduced the company's 2002 net income by $24 million. Included in those amounts are $20 million for a voluntary early retirement program that will be paid from the companies' pension plans and $3 million for an involuntary severance program, primarily for salaried employees of the company's six operating utilities, and $1 million for other associated costs.
The voluntary early retirement resulted in a decline of 486 employees in the first quarter of 2003, including 34 from CMP, 210 from NYSEG and 176 from RG&E. Collectively the voluntary early retirement and involuntary severance programs are expected to result in a decline in overall employee headcount of approximately 650, or 8%, by the end of 2003. That includes approximately 70 from CMP, 260 from NYSEG, 250 from RG&E and 70 from Berkshire Gas, CNG and SCG. The employees affected by the involuntary severance program were notified in January 2003.

Note 4. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is determined by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted-average common shares outstanding for diluted EPS include restricted stock awards and the incremental effect of stock options issued and exclude stock options issued in tandem with stock appreciation rights (SARs). However, all stock options are issued in tandem with SARs and, historically, substantially all stock option plan participants have exercised the SARs instead of the stock options. The numerator used in calculating basic and diluted EPS for each period is the reported net income. The reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for each period follows:

On February 13, 2003, the company issued 229,230 shares of its common stock to certain employees under its Restricted Stock Plan and recorded deferred compensation of $4.4 million based on the market price of $19.20 per share of common stock on the date of the award. An aggregate number of two million shares may be granted under the Restricted Stock Plan, subject to adjustment. Shares of restricted stock are awarded in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a shareholder, subject to certain restrictions on transferability and a risk of forfeiture. The shares vest based on the conditions outlined in the restricted stock award grants, including the achievement of targeted shareholder returns, but no later than January 1, 2009.
Options to purchase shares of common stock are excluded from the determination of EPS when the exercise price of an option is greater than the average market price of a common share during the period. Shares excluded from the EPS calculation for the three months ended June 30 were: 5.2 million in 2003 and 2.0 million in 2002, and for the six months ended June 30 were: 5.2 million in 2003 and 4.0 million in 2002.
Note 5. Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable for the companies include unbilled revenues as follows: Energy East - consolidated unbilled revenues of $131 million at June 30, 2003, and $237 million at December 31, 2002; CMP - consolidated unbilled revenues of $20 million at June 30, 2003, and $33 million at December 31, 2002; NYSEG - unbilled revenues of $47 million at June 30, 2003, and $79 million at December 31, 2002; RG&E - unbilled revenues of $39 million at June 30, 2003, and $59 million at December 31, 2002.
Note 6. New Accounting Pronouncements
Statement 143: In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. Statement 143 requires an entity to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and to capitalize the cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. The liability is adjusted to its present value periodically over time, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement the entity either settles the obligation at its recorded amount or incurs a gain or a loss. For rate-regulated entities, any timing differences between rate recovery and book expense would be deferred as either a regulatory asset or a regulatory liability.
The companies' adoption of Statement 143 as of January 1, 2003, did not have a material effect on their respective financial position or results of operations. There was no effect on net income. The companies recognized various amounts on their balance sheets. Changes in the assumptions underlying the items shown in the following table could affect the balance sheet amounts and future costs related to the obligations.

Increase in utility plant | $30 | $74,064 | - | $74,094 |
Decrease in accumulated depreciation | $3,848 | $200,948 | - | $204,796 |
In addition to the asset retirement obligations, Energy East's utilities have and will continue to have cost of removal liabilities ($77 million for CMP, $282 million for NYSEG, $127 million for RG&E and $155 million for Other, as of June 30, 2003) embedded within accumulated depreciation pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation.
Statement 150:In May 2003 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. Statement 150 requires that certain financial instruments be classified as liabilities in statements of financial position. Under previous guidance such instruments could have been classified as equity. In accordance with Statement 150, Energy East and RG&E are required to classify their mandatorily redeemable preferred stock as a liability on their statements of financial position, which they have previously classified as equity, and to recognize as interest expense distributions that have previously been recognized as dividends. Energy East has a consolidated $370 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock, including RG&E's $25 million of mandatorily redeemable preferred stock. Statement 150 is effective at the beginning of the first interim period begi nning after June 15, 2003, for instruments existing when the Statement was issued. The company's adoption of Statement 150 on July 1, 2003, did not have a material effect on its financial position and results of operations.
Note 7. Acquisition of RGS Energy Group
Due to the completion of the company's merger with RGS Energy Group, Inc. on June 28, 2002, the company's consolidated financial statements include RGS Energy's results beginning with July 2002. RGS Energy did not push goodwill down to RG&E. As of June 30, 2003, $29 million of the purchase price for RGS Energy was allocated to intangible assets, based on an appraisal.
The following pro forma information for the company for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, which is based on unaudited data, gives effect to the company's merger with RGS Energy as if it had been completed January 1, 2002. This information does not reflect future revenues or cost savings that may result from the merger and is not indicative of actual results of operations had the merger occurred at the beginning of the period presented or of results that may occur in the future.

Note 10. Environmental Liability
In the second quarter of 2003 NYSEG increased by approximately $23 million the liability to investigate and perform remediation, as necessary, at its known inactive gas manufacturing sites, reflected on its balance sheets. NYSEG recorded a corresponding increase in its regulatory asset, net of insurance recoveries, since it expects to recover the net costs in rates. The increase is primarily based on a Proposed Remedial Action Plan issued by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) for one of NYSEG's sites and a revised Feasibility Study NYSEG submitted to the NYSDEC for another of NYSEG's sites.

Note 12. Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified in the unaudited financial statements to conform with the 2003 presentation.
Forward-looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements that are based upon management's current expectations and information that is currently available. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Whenever used in this report, the words "estimate," "expect," "believe," or similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
In addition to the assumptions and other factors referred to specifically in connection with such statements, factors that involve risks and uncertainties and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements include, among others: the deregulation and continued regulatory unbundling of a vertically integrated industry; the companies' ability to compete in the rapidly changing and increasingly competitive electricity and/or natural gas utility markets; regulatory uncertainty in a politically-charged environment of changing energy prices; the operation of the New York Independent System Operator and ISO New England, Inc.; the operation of a regional transmission organization; the ability to recover nonutility generator and other costs; changes in fuel supply or cost and the success of strategies to satisfy power requirements now that most generation assets have been sold; the company's ability to expand its products and services, including its en ergy infrastructure in the Northeast; the company's ability to integrate the operations of Berkshire Energy Resources, CMP Group, Connecticut Energy Corporation, CTG Resources and RGS Energy; the company's ability to achieve enterprise-wide integration synergies; market risk; the ability to obtain adequate and timely rate relief; nuclear or environmental incidents; legal or administrative proceedings; changes in the cost or availability of capital; growth in the areas in which the companies are doing business; weather variations affecting customer energy usage; authoritative accounting guidance; acts of terrorists; and other considerations, such as the effect of the volatility in the equity markets on pension benefit cost, that may be disclosed from time to time in the companies' publicly disseminated documents and filings. The companies undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
(See report on Form 10-K for Energy East, CMP, NYSEG and RG&E for fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.)
Commodity Price Risk: NYSEG's current electric rate plan offers retail customers choice in their electricity supply including a variable rate option, an option to purchase electricity supply from an alternative energy company, and a bundled rate option. Based on the results from the enrollment period that ended December 31, 2002, approximately 30% of NYSEG's total electric load is now provided by an alternative energy company or at the market price. NYSEG's exposure to fluctuations in the market price of electricity is limited to the load required to serve those customers who select the bundled rate option, which combines delivery and supply service at a fixed price. For calendar years 2003 and 2004 the supply component is based on average electricity forward prices for 2003 and 2004 during September 2002, plus a 35% margin to cover the costs and risk that NYSEG is assuming by providing a bundled rate option to retail customers. NYSEG has actively hedged the load required to serve customers who select the bundled rate option. As of August 1, 2003, NYSEG's load was 93% hedged for on-peak periods and 84% hedged for off-peak periods in 2003 and 92% hedged for on-peak periods and 85% hedged for off-peak periods in 2004. A fluctuation of $1.00 per megawatt-hour in the price of electricity would change earnings by $0.3 million in 2003 and $0.8 million in 2004. The percent of NYSEG's hedged load is based on NYSEG's load forecasts, which include certain assumptions such as historical weather patterns. Actual results could differ as a result of changes in the load compared to the load forecast.
RG&E faces commodity price risk that relates to market fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas. Owned electric generation and long-term supply contracts significantly reduce RG&E's exposure to market fluctuations for procurement of its electric supply. As of August 1, 2003, RG&E's load was 90% hedged for on-peak periods and fully hedged for off-peak periods in 2003 and fully hedged for both on-peak and off-peak periods in 2004. A fluctuation of $1.00 per megawatt-hour in the price of on-peak electricity would change earnings by $0.1 million in 2003. The percent of RG&E's hedged load is based on RG&E's load forecasts, which include certain assumptions such as historical weather patterns. Actual results could differ as a result of changes in the load compared to the load forecast.
NYSEG and RG&E use natural gas futures and forwards to manage fluctuations in natural gas commodity prices and provide price stability to customers. The cost or benefit of natural gas futures and forwards is included in the commodity cost when the related sales commitments are fulfilled.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Energy East, CMP, NYSEG and RG&E evaluated the effectiveness of their respective company's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. "Disclosure controls and procedures" are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, and is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, they concluded that their respective company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Energy East, CMP, NYSEG and RG&E each maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance to its management and board of directors regarding the preparation of reliable published financial statements and the safeguarding of assets against loss or unauthorized use. Each company's system of internal control over financial reporting contains self-monitoring mechanisms and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified. There were no changes in the companies' internal control over financial reporting that occurred during each company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the respective company's internal control over financial reporting.
