principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a

<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 was effective January 1, 2018 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"><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 the amendment is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from
the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 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"><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
was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements. As a result of
adopting this guidance, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was revised, which
resulted in a $439,000 increase in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period.</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 guidance 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 was effective January 1, 2018
and did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements. See Note 8, <I>Employee Benefit Plans </I>for more
information. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2017
was revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $205,000.</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). In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance
related to leases which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain
a lease as part of the adoption of this guidance. Land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, entered
into after adoption of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. 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>Middlesex &ndash; </B>In March 2018, Middlesex&rsquo;s
petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking permission to increase its base water rates was concluded,
based on a negotiated settlement, resulting in an increase in annual operating revenues of $5.5 million. In its initial October
2017 filing with the NJBPU, Middlesex had sought an increase of $15.3 million to recover costs for 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. During the pendency of this rate matter, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the
Tax Act) was signed into law. Under the Tax Act the maximum corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% effective January
1, 2018. Because income tax is one of the cost components used to determine a regulated utility&rsquo;s revenue requirement, Middlesex
was able to reduce its original rate increase request by $4.9 million to $10.4 million. The new base water rates are designed to
recover the increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based on an authorized
return on equity of 9.6%. As part of the settlement, Middlesex received approval for regulatory accounting treatment of accumulated
deferred income tax benefits associated with required adoption of tangible property regulations issued by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS). The settlement agreement allows for a four-year amortization period of $28.7 million of deferred income tax benefits
as well as immediate and prospective recognition of the tangible property regulations tax benefits in future years. The rate increase
became effective April 1, 2018.</P>

recorded regulatory liabilities of $32.0 million for excess income taxes collected through rates due to the lower income tax
rate under the Tax Act. The regulatory liabilities are overwhelmingly related to accelerated tax depreciation deduction timing
differences, which are subject to IRS normalization rules. The IRS rules limit how quickly the excess taxes attributable to
accelerated tax depreciation can be returned to customers.</P>

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 State Revolving Fund 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

<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; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s revenues are
primarily generated from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and
maintenance contracts for services on water and wastewater systems owned by others. Revenue from contracts with customers
is recognized when control of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&rsquo;s regulated revenue from
contracts with customers is derived from tariff-based sales that result from the obligation to provide water and wastewater services
to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. The Company&rsquo;s residential customers are
billed quarterly while most of the Company&rsquo;s industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly.
Payments by customers are due between 15 to 30 days after the invoice date. The Company recognizes revenue as the water and wastewater
services are delivered to customers as well as records unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter reading date to the end
of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general economic conditions
in its service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings in advance to Tidewater
customers that are recognized as service is provided to the customer.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Non-regulated service contract revenues consist
of base service fees as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers, are billed monthly and are due within
30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.
These contracts expire between December 2018 and 2022 and thus contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company
expects to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain customary termination provisions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Almost all of the amounts included in operating

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As part of its 2014 Federal income tax return,
the Company adopted the final 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 examination will result in any changes to the filed Federal income tax return. While the Company believes that its treatment
of qualifying tangible property repair costs is proper, its deductibility could be challenged as part of the current examination
by the IRS. Therefore, the Company has recorded a provision against refunded taxes of $2.3 million.</P>

</B>- In March 2018, Middlesex&rsquo;s petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities seeking permission to increase base
water rates was concluded based on a negotiated settlement which resulted in an increase in annual operating revenues of $5.5 million.
The new base water rates became effective April 1, 2018 and are designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return
on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, and reflect an authorized return on equity of 9.6%. Part of Middlesex&rsquo;s
filing also included a request for regulatory accounting treatment for $28.7 million of accumulated deferred tax benefits associated
with required adoption of tangible property regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service. The settlement agreement allows
for a four-year amortization period of the deferred tax benefits as well as immediate and prospective recognition of the tangible
property regulations tax benefits in future years, which is expected to lower the Company&rsquo;s income tax expense and, consequently,
its effective income tax rate.</P>

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 $7.0 million of the current portion of existing long-term debt instruments will mature. Applying a hypothetical
change in the rate of interest charged by 10% 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 price
increases through rates. Non-performance by these commodity suppliers could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
financial position and cash flows.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We are exposed to credit risk for both our
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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company's retirement benefit plan assets
are exposed to fluctuating market prices of debt and equity securities. Changes to the Company's retirement benefit plan asset
values can impact the Company's retirement benefit plan expense, funded status and future minimum funding requirements. Our risk
is mitigated by our ability to recover retirement benefit plan costs through rates for regulated utility services charged to our
customers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company&rsquo;s
disclosure controls and procedures was conducted by the Company&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company&rsquo;s
Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Company&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer and the Company&rsquo;s Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company&rsquo;s disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period
covered by this Report. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent
fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.</P>

The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a&#13;material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements. Disclosures related to Revenue Recognition are included in Note 9,&#13;&lt;i&gt;Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&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 was effective January 1, 2018 and did not 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-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&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 the amendment is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from&#13;the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact&#13;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-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&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&#13;2016, the FASB issued guidance related to the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash&#13;flows, which requires entities to a) include restricted cash balances in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the&#13;statement of cash flows and b) include a reconciliation of cash and cash-equivalents per the statement of financial position&#13;as compared to the statement of cash flows. Changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from&#13;transfers between cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will not be presented as cash&#13;flow activities in the statement of cash flows. In addition, an entity with a material balance of amounts described as&#13;restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the restrictions. The guidance&#13;was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements. As a result of&#13;adopting this guidance, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was revised, which&#13;resulted in a $439,000 increase in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period.&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"&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 guidance requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the&#13;other components if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018&#13;and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements. See Note 8, &lt;i&gt;Employee Benefit Plans &lt;/i&gt;for more&#13;information. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2017&#13;was revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $205,000.&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). In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance&#13;related to leases which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain&#13;a lease as part of the adoption of this guidance. Land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, entered&#13;into after adoption of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. The guidance&#13;is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing&#13;the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures, but, based on the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;current leasing activity, does not expect that the adoption of this guidance to 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;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>

In its initial October&#13;2017 filing with the NJBPU, Middlesex had sought an increase of $15.3 million to recover costs for 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 well&#13;as increased operations and maintenance costs. During the pendency of this rate matter, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the&#13;Tax Act) was signed into law. Under the Tax Act the maximum corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% effective January&#13;1, 2018. Because income tax is one of the cost components used to determine a regulated utility&amp;#8217;s revenue requirement, Middlesex&#13;was able to reduce its original rate increase request by $4.9 million to $10.4 million. The new base water rates are designed to&#13;recover the increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based on an authorized&#13;return on equity of 9.6%. As part of the settlement, Middlesex received approval for regulatory accounting treatment of accumulated&#13;deferred income tax benefits associated with required adoption of tangible property regulations issued by the Internal Revenue&#13;Service (IRS). The settlement agreement allows for a four-year amortization period of $28.7 million of deferred income tax benefits&#13;as well as immediate and prospective recognition of the tangible property regulations tax benefits in future years. The rate increase&#13;became effective April 1, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tidewater - &lt;/b&gt;Effective January 1, 2018,&#13;Tidewater increased its Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC)-approved Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) rate,&#13;which is expected to generate $0.4 million of bi-annual revenues. A DSIC is a rate-mechanism that allows water utilities to recover&#13;investments in, and generate a return on, qualifying capital improvements to their water distribution system made between base&#13;rate proceedings.&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;Tax Act - &lt;/b&gt;On December 22, 2017, the&#13;Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including a corporate tax rate decrease from&amp;#160;35%&amp;#160;to&amp;#160;21%&amp;#160;effective&#13;for tax years beginning after&amp;#160;December&amp;#160;31, 2017. Tariff rates charged to customers in the Company&amp;#8217;s regulated companies&#13;include recovery of income taxes at the statutory rate in effect at the time those rates became effective. The conclusion of Middlesex&amp;#8217;s&#13;base rate case and the resulting rates implemented April 1, 2018 reflect the impact of the Tax Act on its revenue requirement.&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;On March 29, 2018, the Company submitted compliance&#13;filings with the DEPSC proposing to reduce rates charged to its Delaware customers to reflect the impact of the Tax Act.

The regulatory liabilities are overwhelmingly related to accelerated tax depreciation deduction timing&#13;differences, which are subject to IRS normalization rules. The IRS rules limit how quickly the excess taxes attributable to&#13;accelerated tax depreciation can be returned to customers.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

The final maturity date for both bonds is August&#13;1, 2047, with scheduled principal and interest payments over the life of the loan.&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;Middlesex closed on a $9.5 million NJBPU approved&#13;NJIB construction loan in August 2017. The proceeds are being used to fund the RENEW 2017 project. The NJIB has notified the Company&#13;that the construction loan will be closed out on May 22, 2018 by issuing to the NJIB first mortgage bonds designated as Series&#13;2018A and Series 2018B with a final maturity date of August 1, 2047 and with scheduled principal and interest payments over the&#13;life of the loan. The exact allocation amount for each of the first mortgage bonds and the interest rate on the Series 2018B first&#13;mortgage bond will be determined on the loan closing date. The interest rate on the Series 2018A first mortgage bond will be zero.&#13;Through March 31, 2018, Middlesex has drawn down $6.2 million and expects to draw the remaining proceeds after the closing.&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;Fair Value of Financial Instruments -&lt;/b&gt;&#13;The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments&#13;for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets&#13;for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due&#13;to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of First Mortgage and State Revolving Fund Bonds (collectively,&#13;the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value&#13;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&#13;below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the Bonds were as follows:&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 0 0 1in; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="width: 90%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="2" style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;March 31, 2018&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="2" style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;December 31, 2017&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 52%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 12%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Carrying&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 12%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Fair&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 12%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Carrying&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 12%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Fair &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Amount&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Value&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Amount&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Value&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Bonds&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;95,009&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#160;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;96,556&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#160;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;95,322&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&amp;#160;$&amp;#160;&amp;#160;98,036&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#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;For other long-term debt for which there was&#13;no quoted market price and there is not an active trading market, it was not practicable to estimate their fair value (for details,&#13;including carrying value, interest rate and due date on these series of long-term debt, please refer to those series noted as &amp;#8220;Amortizing&#13;Secured Note&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;State Revolving Trust Note&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Construction Loans&amp;#8221; on the Condensed Consolidated&#13;Statements of Capital Stock and Long-Term Debt).

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 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;&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.

The adoption resulted in a net reduction of $17.6 million in taxes previously remitted to the IRS, for which the Company&#13;has already sought and received refunds pertaining to tax years 2012 through 2014 in accordance with IRS regulations. Subsequently,&#13;the Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return was selected for examination by the IRS. It is unknown at this time whether&#13;the examination will result in any changes to the filed Federal income tax return. While the Company believes that its treatment&#13;of qualifying tangible property repair costs is proper, its deductibility could be challenged as part of the current examination&#13;by the IRS. Therefore, the Company has recorded a provision against refunded taxes of $2.3 million.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Revenue Recognition</b> - In May 2014, the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance, which replaces most of the existing guidance with a single set of
principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a
material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements. Disclosures related to Revenue Recognition are included in Note 9,
<i>Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers</i>.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></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 was effective January 1, 2018 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-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></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 the amendment is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from
the lack of consistent principles on this topic. The guidance was effective January 1, 2018 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-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></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
was effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements. As a result of
adopting this guidance, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was revised, which
resulted in a $439,000 increase in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period.</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 guidance 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 was effective January 1, 2018
and did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s financial statements. See Note 8, <i>Employee Benefit Plans </i>for more
information. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2017
was revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $205,000.</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). In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance
related to leases which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain
a lease as part of the adoption of this guidance. Land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, entered
into after adoption of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. 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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Middlesex &#8211; </b>In March 2018, Middlesex&#8217;s
petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) seeking permission to increase its base water rates was concluded,
based on a negotiated settlement, resulting in an increase in annual operating revenues of $5.5 million. In its initial October
2017 filing with the NJBPU, Middlesex had sought an increase of $15.3 million to recover costs for 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. During the pendency of this rate matter, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the
Tax Act) was signed into law. Under the Tax Act the maximum corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% effective January
1, 2018. Because income tax is one of the cost components used to determine a regulated utility&#8217;s revenue requirement, Middlesex
was able to reduce its original rate increase request by $4.9 million to $10.4 million. The new base water rates are designed to
recover the increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based on an authorized
return on equity of 9.6%. As part of the settlement, Middlesex received approval for regulatory accounting treatment of accumulated
deferred income tax benefits associated with required adoption of tangible property regulations issued by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS). The settlement agreement allows for a four-year amortization period of $28.7 million of deferred income tax benefits
as well as immediate and prospective recognition of the tangible property regulations tax benefits in future years. The rate increase
became effective April 1, 2018.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Tidewater - </b>Effective January 1, 2018,
Tidewater increased its Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC)-approved Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) rate,
which is expected to generate $0.4 million of bi-annual revenues. A DSIC is a rate-mechanism that allows water utilities to recover
investments in, and generate a return on, qualifying capital improvements to their water distribution system made between base
rate proceedings.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Tax Act - </b>On December 22, 2017, the
Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including a corporate tax rate decrease from&#160;35%&#160;to&#160;21%&#160;effective
for tax years beginning after&#160;December&#160;31, 2017. Tariff rates charged to customers in the Company&#8217;s regulated companies
include recovery of income taxes at the statutory rate in effect at the time those rates became effective. The conclusion of Middlesex&#8217;s
base rate case and the resulting rates implemented April 1, 2018 reflect the impact of the Tax Act on its revenue requirement.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">On March 29, 2018, the Company submitted compliance
filings with the DEPSC proposing to reduce rates charged to its Delaware customers to reflect the impact of the Tax Act. It is
uncertain at this time when the DEPSC will act upon the rate reduction proposals or whether it will accept the proposed methodologies.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As of March 31, 2018, the Company has
recorded regulatory liabilities of $32.0 million for excess income taxes collected through rates due to the lower income tax
rate under the Tax Act. The regulatory liabilities are overwhelmingly related to accelerated tax depreciation deduction timing
differences, which are subject to IRS normalization rules. The IRS rules limit how quickly the excess taxes attributable to
accelerated tax depreciation can be returned to customers.</p><span></span>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s revenues are
primarily generated from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and
maintenance contracts for services on water and wastewater systems owned by others. Revenue from contracts with customers
is recognized when control of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the
consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.</p>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s regulated revenue from
contracts with customers is derived from tariff-based sales that result from the obligation to provide water and wastewater services
to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. The Company&#8217;s residential customers are
billed quarterly while most of the Company&#8217;s industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly.
Payments by customers are due between 15 to 30 days after the invoice date. The Company recognizes revenue as the water and wastewater
services are delivered to customers as well as records unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter reading date to the end
of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general economic conditions
in its service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings in advance to Tidewater
customers that are recognized as service is provided to the customer.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Non-regulated service contract revenues consist
of base service fees as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers, are billed monthly and are due within
30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.
These contracts expire between December 2018 and 2022 and thus contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company
expects to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain customary termination provisions.</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">Almost all of the amounts included in operating
revenues and accounts receivable are from contracts with customers. The Company records its allowance for doubtful accounts based
on historical write-offs combined with an evaluation of current economic conditions within its service territories.</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">The Company&#8217;s contracts do not contain
any significant financing components.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s operating revenues are

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 examination will result in any changes to the filed Federal income tax return. While the Company believes that its treatment
of qualifying tangible property repair costs is proper, its deductibility could be challenged as part of the current examination
by the IRS. Therefore, the Company has recorded a provision against refunded taxes of $2.3 million.</p><span></span>
