<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Inventory</B> - In July 2015, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The new guidance replaces the current
lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost or net realizable value test when cost is determined on a first-in, first-out
or average cost basis. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial
statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Accounting for Share-Based Payments - </B>In
March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions,
including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in
the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s
financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Revenue Recognition</B> - In May 2014, the
FASB issued guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. The update replaces most of the existing guidance with a
single set of principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The FASB has deferred the effective date of these
new revenue recognition standards by one year to January 1, 2018, at which time the Company will adopt this guidance using the
modified retrospective method. The Company continues to assess the impact this standard will have on our financial statements by
analyzing our inventory of contracts with customers, which consist primarily of regulated tariff-based sales and non-regulated
operation and maintenance contracts for water and wastewater systems. Based on the Company&rsquo;s on-going interpretation and
analysis of this guidance, this update is not expected to have an impact on the Company&rsquo;s regulated tariff-based sales and
the impact on the Company&rsquo;s non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts, if any, is not expected to be material. The
Company&rsquo;s non-regulated segment contributed approximately 12% and 6% of total revenues and net income, respectively, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and approximately 11% and 2% of total revenues and net income, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 2016. The Company&rsquo;s assessment of this guidance is not final and subject to change pending the Company&rsquo;s
completion of its review of the guidance, including any new authoritative and interpretive guidance.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities </B>- In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which (i) requires all investments in equity securities,
including other ownership interests such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies, to be
carried at fair value through net income, (ii) requires an incremental recognition and disclosure requirement related to the presentation
of fair value changes of financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected, (iii) amends several disclosure
requirements, including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value or a description of the changes in
the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, and (iv) requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and
liabilities measured at amortized cost at the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required
to be applied retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance
at the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its
consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to have a material
impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Leases - </B>In February 2016, the FASB
issued guidance related to leases which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability (a lessee&rsquo;s obligation to make
lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis) a right-of-use asset (an asset that represents the lessee&rsquo;s
right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated
financial statements and footnote disclosures, but, based on the Company&rsquo;s current leasing activity, does not expect that
the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Statement of Cash Flows - </B>In August
2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the previous guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in
the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of this guidance is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from
the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption
of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Restricted Cash - </B>In November 2016,
the FASB issued guidance related to the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows, which
requires entities to a) include restricted cash balances in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows
and b) include a reconciliation of cash and cash-equivalents per the statement of financial position as compared to the statement
of cash flows. Changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between cash, cash equivalents,
and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows.
In addition, an entity with a material balance of amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose
information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The
adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Employee Benefit Plans-Net Periodic Benefit
Cost &ndash; </B>In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component
from the other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the
income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if
that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other
components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but
does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements.</P>

2017, Middlesex filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking permission to increase base
water rates by approximately $15.3 million per year. The request was necessitated by capital infrastructure investments
Middlesex has made, or has committed to make, to drinking water infrastructure since the last filing in New Jersey in 2015 as
well as increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve,
deny, or reduce the amount of the request. Under New Jersey statute, the NJPBU must render a decision within nine months of
filing a petition.</P>

petition to reset its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) tariff rate to recover additional annual costs of $1.2 million for
the purchase of untreated water from the New Jersey Water Supply Authority. A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for the recovery
of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are included
in base rates. The reset PWAC tariff rate became effective on November 1, 2017.</P>

issuing first mortgage bonds designated as Series XX (approximately $11.1 million) and Series YY (approximately $3.7 million).
The interest rate on the Series XX bond will be zero and the interest rate on the Series YY bond will be determined at the time
of closing using the credit rating of the State of New Jersey. The final maturity date for both bonds will be August 1, 2047.</P>

The fair value of First Mortgage and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company has identified two reportable segments.
One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. This segment also includes regulated
wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&nbsp;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters
by New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised
of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New
Jersey and Delaware.&nbsp;Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance
charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party
lender.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="margin: 0">As part of its 2014 Federal income tax return, the Company adopted the final Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
regulations pertaining to the tax deductibility of costs that qualify as repairs on tangible property. The adoption resulted in
a net reduction of $17.6 million in taxes previously remitted to the IRS, for which the Company has already sought and received
refunds pertaining to tax years 2012 through 2014 in accordance with IRS regulations. Subsequently, the Company&rsquo;s 2014 federal
income tax return was selected for examination by the IRS. It is unknown at this time whether the results of this examination will
result in any changes to the filed Federal income tax return.</P>

Middlesex filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking permission to increase base water
rates by approximately $15.3 million per year. The request was necessitated by capital infrastructure investments Middlesex
has made, or has committed to make, to drinking water infrastructure since the last filing in New Jersey in 2015, as well as
increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or
reduce the amount of the request. Under New Jersey statute, the NJPBU must render a decision within nine months of filing a
petition.</P>

petition to reset its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) tariff rate to recover additional annual costs of $1.2 million for
the purchase of untreated water from the New Jersey Water Supply Authority. A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for the recovery
of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are included
in base rates. The reset PWAC tariff rate became effective on November 1, 2017.</P>

primarily resulted from lower water sales and timing of vendor payments, offset by lower income tax payments and a decreased level
of inventory purchases as compared to 2016. The $28.6 million of net cash flow from operations enabled the Company to fund approximately
41% of utility plant expenditures internally for the period.</P>

changes in interest rates and commodity prices. The Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal
course of business. Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use of fixed rate long-term debt and, to a lesser extent,
short-term debt. The Company&rsquo;s interest rate risk related to existing fixed rate, long-term debt is not material due to the
term of the majority of our First Mortgage Bonds, which have final maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2047. Over the next twelve
months, approximately $6.5 million of the current portion of existing long-term debt instruments will mature. Applying a hypothetical
10% change in the rate of interest charged on those borrowings would not have a material effect on our earnings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Our risks associated with commodity price increases
for chemicals, electricity and other commodities are reduced through contractual arrangements and the ability to recover market-based

Regulated and Non-Regulated business segments. Our Regulated operations serve residential, commercial, industrial and municipal
customers while our Non-Regulated operations engage in business activities with developers, government entities and other customers.
Our primary credit risk is exposure to customer default on contractual obligations and the associated loss that may be incurred
due to the non-payment of customer accounts receivable balances. Our credit risk is managed through established credit and collection
policies which are in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and involve monitoring of customer exposure and the use
of credit risk mitigation measures such as letters of credit or prepayment arrangements. Our credit portfolio is diversified with
no significant customer or industry concentrations. In addition, our Regulated businesses are generally able to recover all prudently
incurred costs including uncollectible customer accounts receivable expenses and collection costs through rates.</P>

one or more disbursements to the Borrower promptly after receipt by the Trust of a Loan Disbursement Requisition and the approval
of such Loan Disbursement Requisition by an Authorized Officer of the Trust or designee thereof, each such disbursement and the
date thereof to be recorded by an Authorized Officer of the Trust on the table attached as Exhibit A-2 hereto; provided, however,
that no Loan Disbursement Requisition shall be approved by the Trust for disbursement unless and until the portion of the Project

of the Loan will be disbursed to the Borrower in accordance with Exhibit C hereto, as Exhibit C shall be supplemented by an Authorized
Officer of the Trust by means of either a substitute Exhibit C or an additional Exhibit C, such supplement to be implemented concurrently
with the supplement to Exhibit A-1 hereto (as provided in the definition of &ldquo;Project&rdquo; as set forth herein).. The latest

the date fixed by the Trust for the sale of its bonds in connection with the Anticipated Financing Program, or such alternative
date as shall be identified by the Trust for the Borrower in writing. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay the Loan to
the Trust in an amount equal to: (i) the Principal; (ii) the Interest; (iii) the Administrative Fee, if any; and (iv) any other
amounts due and owing pursuant to the provisions of this Note. The Borrower may prepay the Loan obligations hereunder, in whole
or in part, upon receipt of the prior written consent of an Authorized Officer of the Trust. Each payment made to the Trust shall
be applied to the payment of, first, the Interest then due and payable, second, the Principal, third, the Administrative Fee, if
any, fourth, any late charges, and, finally, any other amount due pursuant to the provisions of this Note. In the event that the
repayment obligation set forth in this Note is received by the Trust later than the Maturity Date, a late fee shall be payable
to the Trust in an amount equal to the greater of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the prime rate as published in the Wall Street
Journal on the Maturity Date plus one half of one percent per annum on such late payment from the Maturity Date to the date it
is actually paid; provided, however, that any late payment charges incurred hereunder shall not exceed the maximum interest rate
permitted by law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4 to the contrary, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, on the date of issuance of this Note, a disbursement shall be made and shall be recorded by an Authorized Officer of the
Trust on the table attached as Exhibit A-2 hereto in the amount recorded thereon. Such disbursement shall be made for the purpose

The new guidance replaces the current&#13;lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost or net realizable value test when cost is determined on a first-in, first-out&#13;or average cost basis. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial&#13;statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Accounting for Share-Based Payments - &lt;/b&gt;In&#13;March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions,&#13;including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in&#13;the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/b&gt; - In May 2014, the&#13;FASB issued guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. The update replaces most of the existing guidance with a&#13;single set of principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The FASB has deferred the effective date of these&#13;new revenue recognition standards by one year to January 1, 2018, at which time the Company will adopt this guidance using the&#13;modified retrospective method. The Company continues to assess the impact this standard will have on our financial statements by&#13;analyzing our inventory of contracts with customers, which consist primarily of regulated tariff-based sales and non-regulated&#13;operation and maintenance contracts for water and wastewater systems. Based on the Company&amp;#8217;s on-going interpretation and&#13;analysis of this guidance, this update is not expected to have an impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s regulated tariff-based sales and&#13;the impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts, if any, is not expected to be material. The&#13;Company&amp;#8217;s non-regulated segment contributed approximately 12% and 6% of total revenues and net income, respectively, for&#13;the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and approximately 11% and 2% of total revenues and net income, respectively, for the year&#13;ended December 31, 2016. The Company&amp;#8217;s assessment of this guidance is not final and subject to change pending the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;completion of its review of the guidance, including any new authoritative and interpretive guidance.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Recognition and Measurement of Financial&#13;Assets and Financial Liabilities &lt;/b&gt;- In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which (i) requires all investments in equity securities,&#13;including other ownership interests such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies, to be&#13;carried at fair value through net income, (ii) requires an incremental recognition and disclosure requirement related to the presentation&#13;of fair value changes of financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected, (iii) amends several disclosure&#13;requirements, including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value or a description of the changes in&#13;the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, and (iv) requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and&#13;liabilities measured at amortized cost at the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability.&#13;The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required&#13;to be applied retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance&#13;at the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its&#13;consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to have a material&#13;impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leases - &lt;/b&gt;In February 2016, the FASB&#13;issued guidance related to leases which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability (a lessee&amp;#8217;s obligation to make&#13;lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis) a right-of-use asset (an asset that represents the lessee&amp;#8217;s&#13;right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning&#13;after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated&#13;financial statements and footnote disclosures, but, based on the Company&amp;#8217;s current leasing activity, does not expect that&#13;the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Statement of Cash Flows - &lt;/b&gt;In August&#13;2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the previous guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in&#13;the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of this guidance is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from&#13;the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption&#13;of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 63pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Restricted Cash - &lt;/b&gt;In November 2016,&#13;the FASB issued guidance related to the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows, which&#13;requires entities to a) include restricted cash balances in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows&#13;and b) include a reconciliation of cash and cash-equivalents per the statement of financial position as compared to the statement&#13;of cash flows. Changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between cash, cash equivalents,&#13;and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows.&#13;In addition, an entity with a material balance of amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose&#13;information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The&#13;adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Employee Benefit Plans-Net Periodic Benefit&#13;Cost &amp;#8211; &lt;/b&gt;In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component&#13;from the other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the&#13;income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if&#13;that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other&#13;components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018. The&#13;Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but&#13;does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;There are no other new adopted or proposed&#13;accounting guidance that the Company is aware of that could have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:BasisOfPresentationAndSignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

The request was necessitated by capital infrastructure investments&#13;Middlesex has made, or has committed to make, to drinking water infrastructure since the last filing in New Jersey in 2015 as&#13;well as increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve,&#13;deny, or reduce the amount of the request.

A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for the recovery&#13;of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are included&#13;in base rates.

This segment also includes regulated&#13;wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&amp;#160;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters&#13;by New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised&#13;of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New&#13;Jersey and Delaware.&amp;#160;Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance&#13;charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party&#13;lender.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

In connection with the agreement with Perth Amboy, USA-PA entered into a concurrent subcontract with a wastewater&#13;operating company for the operation and maintenance of the Perth Amboy wastewater collection system.

(AWM), an unaffiliated wastewater treatment contractor, to operate a County-owned leachate pretreatment facility at the Monmouth&#13;County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The performance guaranty is effective through 2028 unless another guarantor,&#13;acceptable to the County, replaces Middlesex before such date. Under agreements with AWM and Natural Systems Utilities, LLC (NSU),&#13;the parent company of AWM, Middlesex earns a fee for providing the performance guaranty. In addition, Middlesex may provide operational&#13;support to the facility, as needed, and AWM and NSU, serving as guarantor to Middlesex with respect to the performance of AWM,&#13;agree to indemnify Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;If requested to perform&#13;under the guaranty to the County and, if AWM and NSU, as guarantor to Middlesex, do not fulfill their obligations to indemnify&#13;Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County, Middlesex would be required to fulfill&#13;the remaining operational commitment of AWM. As of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the liability recognized in Other&#13;Non-Current Liabilities on the balance sheet for the guaranty is approximately $0.1 million.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Construction&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company expects to spend approximately&#13;$52 million for its construction program in 2017.

The adoption resulted in&#13;a net reduction of $17.6 million in taxes previously remitted to the IRS, for which the Company has already sought and received&#13;refunds pertaining to tax years 2012 through 2014 in accordance with IRS regulations. Subsequently, the Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal&#13;income tax return was selected for examination by the IRS.

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Inventory</b> - In July 2015, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The new guidance replaces the current
lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost or net realizable value test when cost is determined on a first-in, first-out
or average cost basis. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial
statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Accounting for Share-Based Payments - </b>In
March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions,
including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in
the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s
financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Revenue Recognition</b> - In May 2014, the
FASB issued guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. The update replaces most of the existing guidance with a
single set of principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The FASB has deferred the effective date of these
new revenue recognition standards by one year to January 1, 2018, at which time the Company will adopt this guidance using the
modified retrospective method. The Company continues to assess the impact this standard will have on our financial statements by
analyzing our inventory of contracts with customers, which consist primarily of regulated tariff-based sales and non-regulated
operation and maintenance contracts for water and wastewater systems. Based on the Company&#8217;s on-going interpretation and
analysis of this guidance, this update is not expected to have an impact on the Company&#8217;s regulated tariff-based sales and
the impact on the Company&#8217;s non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts, if any, is not expected to be material. The
Company&#8217;s non-regulated segment contributed approximately 12% and 6% of total revenues and net income, respectively, for
the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and approximately 11% and 2% of total revenues and net income, respectively, for the year
ended December 31, 2016. The Company&#8217;s assessment of this guidance is not final and subject to change pending the Company&#8217;s
completion of its review of the guidance, including any new authoritative and interpretive guidance.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities </b>- In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance which (i) requires all investments in equity securities,
including other ownership interests such as partnerships, unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies, to be
carried at fair value through net income, (ii) requires an incremental recognition and disclosure requirement related to the presentation
of fair value changes of financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected, (iii) amends several disclosure
requirements, including the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value or a description of the changes in
the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value, and (iv) requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and
liabilities measured at amortized cost at the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability.
The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required
to be applied retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for initial application of the guidance
at the date of adoption (modified retrospective method). The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its
consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to have a material
impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Leases - </b>In February 2016, the FASB
issued guidance related to leases which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability (a lessee&#8217;s obligation to make
lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis) a right-of-use asset (an asset that represents the lessee&#8217;s
right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term). The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated
financial statements and footnote disclosures, but, based on the Company&#8217;s current leasing activity, does not expect that
the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Statement of Cash Flows - </b>In August
2016, the FASB issued guidance which amends the previous guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in
the statement of cash flows. The primary purpose of this guidance is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from
the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The adoption
of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 63pt">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Restricted Cash - </b>In November 2016,
the FASB issued guidance related to the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows, which
requires entities to a) include restricted cash balances in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows
and b) include a reconciliation of cash and cash-equivalents per the statement of financial position as compared to the statement
of cash flows. Changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between cash, cash equivalents,
and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows.
In addition, an entity with a material balance of amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose
information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The
adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Employee Benefit Plans-Net Periodic Benefit
Cost &#8211; </b>In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance which requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component
from the other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the
income statement and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if
that subtotal is presented. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other
components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The guidance is effective January 1, 2018. The
Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but
does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>
<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">There are no other new adopted or proposed
accounting guidance that the Company is aware of that could have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements.</p><span></span>

2017, Middlesex filed a petition with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking permission to increase base
water rates by approximately $15.3 million per year. The request was necessitated by capital infrastructure investments
Middlesex has made, or has committed to make, to drinking water infrastructure since the last filing in New Jersey in 2015 as
well as increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve,
deny, or reduce the amount of the request. Under New Jersey statute, the NJPBU must render a decision within nine months of
filing a petition.</p>

the purchase of untreated water from the New Jersey Water Supply Authority. A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for the recovery
of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are included
in base rates. The reset PWAC tariff rate became effective on November 1, 2017.</p>

2017 and 2016, there were 24,154 common shares (approximately $0.9 million) and 35,350 common shares (approximately $1.2 million),

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In January 2017, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&#8217;s
request to borrow up to $37.0 million under the New Jersey State Revolving Fund (SRF) program to fund the construction of a large-diameter
transmission pipeline from the Carl J. Olsen water treatment plant and interconnect with our distribution system. Middlesex currently
expects to close on the SRF construction loan in the first quarter of 2018 with funding requisitions occurring primarily throughout
2018 and 2019.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Middlesex closed on a $9.5 million NJBPU approved
SRF construction loan in August 2017. The proceeds will be used to fund the RENEW 2017 project. RENEW is an ongoing program to
eliminate all unlined water distribution mains in the Middlesex system. Funding requisitions are expected to occur primarily throughout
the remainder of 2017.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Middlesex closed on a $2.3 million NJBPU approved
SRF construction loan in May 2017. The proceeds will be used to fund the upgrade of a booster station at one of its well fields.
Funding requisitions are expected to occur through early 2018.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In November 2017, Middlesex is scheduled to
close out three of its active New Jersey SRF construction loans (booster station upgrade, RENEW 2015 and RENEW 2016 projects) by
issuing first mortgage bonds designated as Series XX (approximately $11.1 million) and Series YY (approximately $3.7 million).
The interest rate on the Series XX bond will be zero and the interest rate on the Series YY bond will be determined at the time
of closing using the credit rating of the State of New Jersey. The final maturity date for both bonds will be August 1, 2047.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The following methods and assumptions were
used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that
value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables,
accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The fair value of First Mortgage and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for
similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level 1 measurement
and the fair value of notes payable and the Bonds in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount
and fair value of the Bonds were as follows:</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company has identified two reportable segments.
One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. This segment also includes regulated
wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters
by New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised
of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New
Jersey and Delaware.&#160;Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance
charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party
lender.</p>

<p style="margin: 0">As part of its 2014 Federal income tax return, the Company adopted the final Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
regulations pertaining to the tax deductibility of costs that qualify as repairs on tangible property. The adoption resulted in
a net reduction of $17.6 million in taxes previously remitted to the IRS, for which the Company has already sought and received
refunds pertaining to tax years 2012 through 2014 in accordance with IRS regulations. Subsequently, the Company&#8217;s 2014 federal
income tax return was selected for examination by the IRS. It is unknown at this time whether the results of this examination will
result in any changes to the filed Federal income tax return.</p><span></span>
