AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by CONNECTICUT WATER SERVICE, INC. (the Company), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on 10-K. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year since the consolidated earnings are subject to seasonal factors. 2. Earnings per average common share are calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods as detailed: 3 Months Ended 12 Months Ended ----------------------- ---------------------------------- 3/31/95 3/31/94 3/31/95 3/31/94 12/31/94 ------- ------- ------- ------- -------- Common Shares Outstanding: January 1, 1994 -- -- -- -- 2,789,977 April 1, 1994 & 1993 respectively -- -- 2,803,397 2,763,302 -- January 1, 1995 & 1994 respectively 2,870,559 2,789,977 -- -- -- Common Shares Issued: To DRIP - June 15,1993 -- -- -- 9,186 -- To 401-K - June 30, 1993 -- -- -- 456 -- To DRIP - Sept 15, 1993 -- -- -- 7,965 -- To 401-K - Sept. 30, 1993 -- -- -- 421 -- To DRIP - Dec. 15, 1993 -- -- -- 8,647 -- To PSP - Jan. 21, 1994 -- 4,061 -- 4,061 4,061 To DRIP - March 15, 1994 -- 8,798 -- 8,798 8,798 To 401-K - March 30, 1994 -- 561 -- 561 561 To DRIP - June 15, 1994 -- -- 9,878 -- 9,878 To 401-K - June 30, 1994 -- -- 637 -- 637 To DRIP - Sept. 15, 1994 -- -- 15,397 -- 15,397 To 401-K - Sept. 30, 1994 -- -- 620 -- 620 To DRIP - Dec. 15, 1994 -- -- 39,980 -- 39,980 To 401-K - Dec. 15, 1994 -- -- 650 -- 650 To PSP - Jan. , 1995 6,369 -- 6,369 -- -- To DRIP - March 15, 1995 27,213 -- 27,213 -- -- To 401-K - March 30, 1995 686 -- 686 -- -- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Common Shares Outstanding: March 31, 1995 & 1994 respectively 2,904,827 2,803,397 2,904,827 2,803,397 ========= ========= ========= ========= December 31, 1994 2,870,559 ========= Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding: Days outstanding basis 2,879,890 2,794,810 2,834,574 2,779,183 2,812,456 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= DRIP = Dividend Reinvestment Plan PSP = Performance Stock Program 401-K = Company contribution to employees' 401-K savings plan 12 Page 12 CONNECTICUT WATER SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY PART I, ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS LIQUIDITY AND CORPORATE RESOURCES At March 31, 1995 the Company had $4,594,000 of unused lines of interim bank loan credit available. RESULT OF OPERATIONS THE FOLLOWING FACTORS HAD A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT UPON THE COMPANY'S NET INCOME FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AS COMPARED WITH THE NET INCOME FOR THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR. Net income applicable to common stock for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased from that of March 31, 1994 by $38,000 on an increased number of average common shares resulting in the same earnings per average common share. The improvement in net income resulted from a $96,000 increase in other income and deductions partially offset by a $32,000 increase in interest and debt expense and a $26,000 decrease in utility operating income. The increase in other income and deductions is primarily related to the elimination of preferred stock dividends of the Subsidiary. This was achieved through the refinancing of the Subsidiary's 9.5% preferred stock with 6.94% long-term debt during March, 1994. The increase in interest and debt expense reflects higher interest rates on interim bank loans. Operating revenues decreased $45,000, or .5%, reflecting 2.5% decreases in both residential and commercial water consumption partially offset by increases in industrial and public authority water consumption of 3.0% and 5.5%, respectively, as compared to last year. Operating expenses decreased $19,000 reflecting lower operation and maintenance expense, partially offset by increased depreciation expense. 13 Page 13 CONNECTICUT WATER SERVICE, INC.
