                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                     ----------------------------------------
    
   To the Plan Administrator of Connecticut Natural  
       Gas Corporation Union Employee Savings Plan:
    
   We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
   benefits with fund information of Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation Union
   Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the
   related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits with
   fund information for each of the three years in the period ended December
   31, 1994.  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 generally accepted auditing
   standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
   obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
   of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
   evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
   statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
   used and significant estimates made by 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 with fund
   information of the Plan as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes
   in its net assets available for benefits with fund information for each of
   the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with
   generally accepted accounting principles.
    
   Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
   financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
   assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are
   presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part
   of the basic financial statements but are supplementary information
   required by the Department of Labor Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
   Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.   The
   supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
   applied in the audits of the basic financial statements for the year ended
   December 31, 1994 and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
   respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

   1.  Description of the Plan:
       ------------------------
    
       The following description of the Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation
       Union Employee Savings Plan (the Plan) is provided for general
       information purposes only.  More complete information regarding the
       Plan's provisions may be found in the Plan document.  

       a.  General -
           -------

           The Plan is a defined contribution thrift plan open to union
           employees of Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation and subsidiaries
           (the Company).  The Plan was established by the Company under the
           provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), and
           it includes a qualified deferred arrangement as described in Section
           401(k) of the IRC 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 (ERISA).  The Plan
           Administrator is the Company.  The Compensation Committee of the
           Company's Board of Directors appointed an Administrative Committee
           to serve as manager of the Plan.
    
       b.  Eligibility -
           -----------

           Employees are eligible to participate when the following criteria
           are met:
    
           (1) Are at least age 21.
    
           (2) Are employed by the Company for one year or more.
    
           (3) Have completed 1,000 hours or more of service in a 12-month
               period beginning with date of hire.
    
           (4) Are members of a Hartford or Greenwich Union Collective
               Bargaining Unit.

           There were 373 employees participating in the Plan as of December
           31, 1994 and 1993.

       c.  Contributions -
           -------------

           Eligible employees may elect to participate in the Plan and
           authorize payroll deductions of not less than 1% and not greater
           than 20% of basic earnings as savings contributions to their
           accounts during each year.

           The Company will match a percentage of an employee's compensation
           depending on age or years of continuous service.  The amount of the
           Company contribution will be determined according to the schedule
           below.  However, if an employee's elected savings allotment is less
           than the percentage contained in the schedule, the Company will
           match no more than the percentage contributed by the employee.

                                        -8-

           As of December 31, 1994, if an employee's:

       d.  Investment Options -
           ------------------

           Plan participants direct their contributions among five investment
           options in 5% increments, and they may elect to change their
           investment options once during each calendar quarter.  A description
           of each investment option is provided below:
    
           (1) PUTNAM FIDUCIARY TRUST COMPANY STABLE VALUE FUND - This fund
               preserves principal and seeks to achieve relatively high current
               income through a diversified portfolio of high-quality
               investment contracts.

           (2) PUTNAM U.S. GOVERNMENT INCOME TRUST - This mutual fund seeks
               current income through a portfolio of securities backed by the
               full faith and credit of the United States Government.

           (3) THE GEORGE PUTNAM FUND OF BOSTON - This mutual fund seeks a
               balance of capital growth and current income through a
               diversified portfolio of common stocks and bonds.

           (4) THE PUTNAM FUND FOR GROWTH AND INCOME - This mutual fund seeks
               capital growth and current income through a portfolio of income-
               producing common stocks. 

           (5) COMMON STOCK FUND - This fund seeks to provide current income
               and capital appreciation through investment in the common stock
               of the Company purchased at not more than fair market value.

           All Company matching contributions are invested in the Common Stock
           Fund.

           In addition to transfers between the various funds noted above as a
           result of investment elections made by Plan participants, transfers
           are also made to or from the Employee Savings Plan for those
           employees who transfer to (from) the Company's non-union payroll. 
     
       e.  Vesting -
           -------

           Participants are fully vested in their contributions and the
           earnings thereon.  Participants are vested in the Company matching
           contributions and the earnings thereon as follows:

                                                  
       Years of Continuous Service are               Percentage Vested
       -------------------------------               -----------------
                 Less than 1                                 0%                
              1 but less than 2                             20                  
              2 but less than 3                             40                 
              3 but less than 4                             60                  
              4 but less than 5                             80                  
                  5 or more                                100                  

           Participants also become fully vested in their Company matching
           contribution account if any one of the following occurs:
    
           (1) Death

           (2) Disability

           (3) Attainment of age 65 (normal retirement date)


                                        -9-

           (4) Total or partial termination of the Plan

           (5) Discontinuance of Company contributions to the Plan
    
           Upon termination of employment before full vesting, the non-vested
           Company match portion of a participant's common stock account shall
           be forfeited after five years if the participant is not rehired and
           applied as a credit against the employer's future contributions.

       f.  Benefits -
           --------

           Upon termination of employment due to retirement, disability, or
           death, a participant (or his/her beneficiary) may elect to receive a
           lump-sum distribution equal to the value of the participant's vested
           interest in his/her account as soon as practicable following the
           termination date or defer the distribution to some future date.

           Participants may request the withdrawal of certain account balances
           prior to termination of employment.  Application for withdrawal of
           after-tax contributions and employee IRA contributions may be made
           once a year.  There are no Plan penalties for such withdrawals.
    
           Participant benefits under the Plan are excluded from insurance
           coverage of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.

       g.  Participant Accounts -
           --------------------

           Individual accounts are maintained for each of the Plan's
           participants to reflect the participant's share of the Plan's income
           and the participant's and the Company's contributions.  Allocations
           of Plan income are based on the share balances in the participants'
           accounts.  
    
   2.  Transfer of Plan Assets to New Trustee:
       --------------------------------------

       In January 1993, the Trustee of the Plan was changed from Fleet Bank,
       Connecticut (Fleet) to Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (PFTC).  All
       assets held in trust by Fleet, consisting of common stock of the Company
       and a Hartford Life Insurance Company immediate participation guarantee
       contract, together with associated cash and temporary investments, were
       transferred to PFTC and placed in the Common Stock Fund and the PFTC
       Stable Value Fund, respectively.  The balance of the immediate
       participation guarantee contract and associated cash on January 1, 1993
       is reflected in the "Fixed Income Fund" column on the accompanying
       statement of changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 1993. 
       In April 1993, transfers of assets from the participant directed portion
       of the Common Stock Fund and the PFTC Stable Value Fund to the five
       investment funds described in Note 1 were completed based upon
       investment elections made by the Plan's participants.    

   3.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
       ------------------------------------------
    
       a.  Basis of Accounting -
           -------------------
    
           The accompanying financial statements are prepared on the accrual
           basis of accounting.

       b.  Income Recognition -
           ------------------

           Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest
           income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.

       c.  Investment Valuation -
           --------------------

           The Plan's investments are reflected at current value.  The shares 


                                       -10-

           of the Common Stock Fund and the Putnam mutual funds owned by the
           Plan, with the exception of the PFTC Stable Value Fund, are valued
           at market as determined by the quoted market price as of the last
           business day of the year.  The latter fund is valued at cost plus
           accumulated earnings.  Purchases and sales of securities are
           reflected on a trade date basis.  Beginning in 1994, realized and
           unrealized appreciation/depreciation presented in the statement of
           changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information
           are computed based on the current value of the Plan assets.  Current
           value represents the market value of the assets as of the beginning
           of the year.
     
       d.  Administrative Expenses -
           -----------------------

           Administrative expenses of the Plan may be paid by either the
           Company or the Plan.  During 1994, 1993 and 1992 the Company paid
           all administrative expenses relating to the Plan.
    
   4.  Federal Income Tax Status:
       -------------------------
    
       In 1994 the Plan was amended and restated to meet the requirements of
       the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and the Plan received a favorable
       determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service dated October 24,
       1994.  The Plan Administrator and management believe that during 1994,
       the Plan was designed and operated in compliance with the applicable
       requirements of the IRC.  Therefore, they believe that the Plan was
       qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt through the year ended
       December 31, 1994.
    
   5.  Investments:
       -----------
    
       Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company, trustee of the Plan, holds the Plan's
       investments and executes transactions therein.

       The fair market values of individual assets that represent 5% or more of
       the Plan's net assets as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 are as follows:



                                                      
         1994:
            Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation
               common stock                              $7,604,952
            The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income         1,450,673
            The George Putnam Fund of Boston                866,287

         1993:
            Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation
               common stock                              $8,383,934
            The Putnam Fund for Growth and Income         1,337,133
            The George Putnam Fund of Boston                852,172

   6.    Concentration of Credit Risk:
         ----------------------------
    
         The Plan's assets are invested in the mutual funds managed by Putnam
         Investments, Inc. described in Note 1 and the Company's common stock. 
         In the event of any uncertainties in the financial marketplace the
         Plan may be exposed to financial risks.
