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 became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material
impact on the Company&rsquo;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-align: justify"><B>Recognition and Measurement of Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities </B>- 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 became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s financial statements.</P>

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 became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&rsquo;s

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Restricted Cash - </B>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 became 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 nine months ended September
30, 2017 was revised, which resulted in a $0.4 million 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>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 became 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017
was revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $0.2 million
and $0.6 million, respectively.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Leases - </B>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) and 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 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>&nbsp;</B></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 allowed for a four-year amortization period for $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>

Tax Act was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including a corporate tax rate decrease from&nbsp;35%&nbsp;to&nbsp;21%&nbsp;effective
for tax years beginning after&nbsp;December&nbsp;31, 2017. Tariff rates charged to customers in the Company&rsquo;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&rsquo;s
base rate case and the resulting rates implemented April 1, 2018 reflect the impact of the Tax Act on its revenue requirement.</P>

regulatory liabilities of $32.5 million for excess income taxes collected through rates due to the lower income tax rate under
the Tax Act. These 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>

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 at various times through December 2028 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
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">&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 tangible property regulations and changed its accounting method for the tax treatment of expenditures
that qualified as deductible repairs. 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 the tax refunds. While the Company believes that its treatment of
qualifying tangible property repair costs is proper, a reserve provision against refunded taxes of $2.3 million was recorded in
2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method. This was based on a possible challenge by the IRS during an audit examination.
The Company&rsquo;s 2014 federal income tax return was subsequently selected for examination by the IRS in 2016. During the second
quarter of 2018, the Company received information from the IRS regarding certain aspects of the its adopted accounting method used
to calculate qualifying tangible property repair cost deductions and determined that it should increase its reserve provision to
$3.7 million. As the IRS examination continues and pending its completion, the tax liability could be different than the recorded
reserve provision. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded $0.1 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, in interest expense due to this reserve provision.</P>

</B>- In March 2018, Middlesex&rsquo;s petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) 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 allowed
for a four-year amortization period for 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>

net income is based significantly on four factors: weather, adequate and timely rate relief, effective cost management, and customer
growth (which are evident in comparison discussions in the Results of Operations section below). Changes in customer water usage
habits, as well as increases in capital expenditures and operating costs, are significant factors in determining the timing and
extent of rate increase requests. As operating costs have increased in 2018 in a variety of categories, we continue to implement
plans to further streamline operations and further reduce, and mitigate increases in, operating costs.</P>

cash flows from operating activities increased $4.2 million to $32.9 million. The increase in cash flows from operating activities
primarily resulted from the timing of vendor and income tax payments. The $32.9 million of net cash flow from operations enabled
us to fund approximately 41% of utility plant expenditures internally for the period.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We are exposed to market risk associated with
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 2019 to 2047. Over the next twelve
months, approximately $7.3 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>

is mitigated by our ability to recover retirement benefit plan costs through rates for regulated utility services charged to our
customers.</P>

of a 42 inch diameter cement-lined ductile iron (CLDIP) pipe transmission main beginning at the Carl J. Olsen Water Treatment Plant
within the Township of Edison and terminating at the intersection of Jersey and Durham Avenues within the Borough of Metuchen.
This main will consist of the provision of ~24,512 linear feet of CLDIP and the retention of ~1915 linear feet of existing 42 inch
diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP). The project also includes the installation of two proposed flow control structures comprising
440 linear feet of 30-inch and 170 linear feet of 48-inch DIP at the Water Treatment Plant, and the provision of valves and appurtenances
ancillary to the construction of the transmission main.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.25in; text-align: justify">The project consists of replacing
18,300 LF 8-inch diameter cast iron mains with cement mortar-lined ductile iron pipe, replacing 536 service lines, installing 616
meter pits and associated fittings and appurtenances. The project area is within the Avenel section of Woodbridge Township. Cement
mortar lining of the pipe interior is intended to inhibit the corrosive effects of the conveyed water on the piping systems. On
the other hand, unlined pipe is subject to tuberculation (an accumulation of ferric oxide) which would manifest as reduction of
the carrying capacity of the pipe and reduced pressure and volume. Customers would be impacted by a reduction of the system&rsquo;s
ability to deliver sufficient water to fight fires and the concomitant increase in pumping costs in order to overcome the resistance
to flow presented by the aforementioned accumulations. Water quality would suffer, as the increase in ferric oxide will manifest
as aesthetic degradation of the water at &ldquo;end-of-tap&rdquo; and at high enough levels, may cause a threat to public health.</P>

Changes in restricted&#13;cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash and restricted&#13;cash equivalents will not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows.

In January 2018, the FASB issued additional guidance related to leases&#13;which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to determine if they contain a lease as part&#13;of the adoption of this guidance. Land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, entered into after adoption&#13;of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. The guidance is effective for fiscal&#13;years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted.

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 allowed for a four-year amortization period for $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; text-indent: 0.5in"&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;In August 2018, Middlesex filed a petition&#13;with the NJBPU seeking approval to set a tariff rate under a purchased water adjustment clause to recover additional costs of less&#13;than $0.1 million for the purchase of treated water from a non-affiliated regulated water utility.&amp;#160; We cannot predict whether&#13;the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny or reduce the amount of our request.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&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 July 1, 2018,&#13;Tidewater revised its Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC)-approved Distribution System Improvement Charge (DSIC) rate, which&#13;is expected to generate $0.2 million of revenues in 2018.

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;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the liability recognized in Other&#13;Non-Current Liabilities on the balance sheet for the guaranty is less than $0.1 million.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&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;Leases&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;- &lt;/i&gt;The Company has entered&#13;into commercial office space operating leases.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control&#13;of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects&#13;to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.&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;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&amp;#8217;s regulated revenue from&#13;contracts with customers is derived from tariff-based sales that result from the obligation to provide water and wastewater services&#13;to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. The Company&amp;#8217;s residential customers are&#13;billed quarterly while most of the Company&amp;#8217;s industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly.&#13;Payments by customers are due between 15 to 30 days after the invoice date. The Company recognizes revenue as the water and wastewater&#13;services are delivered to customers as well as records unbilled revenues estimated from the last meter reading date to the end&#13;of the accounting period utilizing factors such as historical customer data, regional weather indicators and general economic conditions&#13;in its service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings in advance to Tidewater&#13;customers that are recognized as service is provided to the customer.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt"&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;Non-regulated service contract revenues consist&#13;of base service fees as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers, are billed monthly and are due within&#13;30 days after the invoice date. The Company considers the amounts billed to represent the value of these services provided to customers.&#13;These contracts expire at various times through December 2028 and thus contain remaining performance obligations for which the&#13;Company expects to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain customary termination provisions.&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;Almost all of the amounts included in operating&#13;revenues and accounts receivable are from contracts with customers.

The adoption resulted in a net reduction of $17.6 million in taxes previously remitted to&#13;the IRS, for which the Company has already sought and received the tax refunds. While the Company believes that its treatment of&#13;qualifying tangible property repair costs is proper, a reserve provision against refunded taxes of $2.3 million was recorded in&#13;2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method. This was based on a possible challenge by the IRS during an audit examination.&#13;The Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return was subsequently selected for examination by the IRS in 2016. During the second&#13;quarter of 2018, the Company received information from the IRS regarding certain aspects of the its adopted accounting method used&#13;to calculate qualifying tangible property repair cost deductions and determined that it should increase its reserve provision to&#13;$3.7 million. As the IRS examination continues and pending its completion, the tax liability could be different than the recorded&#13;reserve provision. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded $0.1 million and $0.5 million,&#13;respectively, in interest expense due to this reserve provision.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Restricted Cash - </b>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 became 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 nine months ended September
30, 2017 was revised, which resulted in a $0.4 million 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>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 became 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017
was revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $0.2 million
and $0.6 million, respectively.</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>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) and 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 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>

<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 allowed for a four-year amortization period for $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>

the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny or reduce the amount of our request.</p>

is expected to generate $0.2 million of revenues in 2018. 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">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In March 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 September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded
regulatory liabilities of $32.5 million for excess income taxes collected through rates due to the lower income tax rate under
the Tax Act. These 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>

for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets

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.&#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>

9 &#8211; Revenue Recognition from Contracts with Customers</b></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"></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 at various times through December 2028 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">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s operating revenues are
comprised of the following:</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 tangible property regulations and changed its accounting method for the tax treatment of expenditures
that qualified as deductible repairs. 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 the tax refunds. While the Company believes that its treatment of
qualifying tangible property repair costs is proper, a reserve provision against refunded taxes of $2.3 million was recorded in
2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method. This was based on a possible challenge by the IRS during an audit examination.
The Company&#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return was subsequently selected for examination by the IRS in 2016. During the second
quarter of 2018, the Company received information from the IRS regarding certain aspects of the its adopted accounting method used
to calculate qualifying tangible property repair cost deductions and determined that it should increase its reserve provision to
$3.7 million. As the IRS examination continues and pending its completion, the tax liability could be different than the recorded
reserve provision. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company has recorded $0.1 million and $0.5 million,
respectively, in interest expense due to this reserve provision.</p><span></span>
