provided approximately 69% of the Middlesex System&rsquo;s water supply, groundwater sources provided approximately 22% from 31
wells and the balance was purchased from a non-affiliated water utility regulated by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (the
NJBPU) under an agreement which expires February 27, 2021. This agreement provides for minimum purchases of 3.0 million gallons
per day (mgd) of treated water with provisions for additional purchases. The Middlesex System&rsquo;s distribution storage facilities

by the New Jersey Water Supply Authority (NJWSA). Middlesex is under contract with the NJWSA, which expires November 30, 2023,
and provides for average purchases of 27.0 mgd of untreated water from the Delaware &amp; Raritan Canal, augmented by the Round
Valley/Spruce Run Reservoir System. The untreated surface water is pumped to, and treated at, the Middlesex Carl J. Olsen (CJO)
Water Treatment Plant.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In March 2018, Middlesex&rsquo;s petition to
the 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 prior 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 approved base water rates were designed to recover increased operating costs as well
as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based on an authorized return on common 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. 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&rsquo; tax benefits in future years. The rate increase became effective <FONT STYLE="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">April</FONT>

a classified Board of Directors, which means only a portion of the Director population is elected each year. A classified Board
can make it more difficult for an acquirer to gain control of the Company by voting its candidates onto the Board of Directors
and may also deter merger proposals and tender offers. Our Board of Directors also has the ability, subject to obtaining NJBPU
approval, to issue one or more series of preferred stock having such number of shares, designation, preferences, voting rights,

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Middlesex</B> - In March 2018, Middlesex&rsquo;s
petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (the 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 prior 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 approved base water rates
were designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based
on an authorized return on common 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&rsquo; 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">In December 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&rsquo;s
petition to establish its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) tariff rate to recover additional annual costs of less than
$0.1 million, primarily for the purchase of treated water from a non-affiliated water utility regulated by the NJBPU. A PWAC is
a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset
to zero once those increased costs are included in base rates. The PWAC tariff rate became effective on January 1, 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In February 2019, Tidewater received approval
from the DEPSC to reduce its rates, effective March 1, 2019, to reflect the lower corporate income tax rate enacted by the Tax
Act, resulting in a 3.35% rate decrease for certain customer classes.</P>

costs and lower non-fixed fee revenues. The Pinelands Water base water rate increase was phased-in between 2016 and 2017.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Our ability to increase operating income and
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). Revenues in 2019 are expected
to be favorably impacted by the full year effect of Middlesex&rsquo;s April 2018 base water rate increase. Weather patterns experienced
in 2017 and 2018, which resulted in lower customer demand, may reoccur in 2019. Actuarially-determined non-service retirement
benefit plan costs are expected to increase significantly in 2019. As operating costs are anticipated to increase in 2019 in a
variety of categories, we continue to implement plans to further streamline operations and further reduce, and mitigate increases
in, operating costs. 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.</P>

payments to vendors.</P>

approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant and other assets. To the extent
possible, the Company finances qualifying capital projects under SRF loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These government
programs provide financing at interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion
of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers
first enter into a construction loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate.
The NJIB was formerly known as the New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust. The current interest rate on construction loan
borrowings is zero percent (0%). When construction on the qualifying project is substantially complete, the NJIB will coordinate
the conversion of the construction loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the principal balance having a stated
interest rate of zero percent (0%) and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest rate at the time of closing using
the credit rating of the State of New Jersey. The current term of the long-term loans offered through the NJIB is up to thirty
years. The NJIB generally schedules its long-term debt financings in May and November.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In September 2018, the NJIB announced changes
to the SRF program for project funding priority ranking, the proportions of interest free loans and market interest rate loans
and overall loan limits on interest free loan balances to investor-owned water utilities. These changes affect SRF projects for
which the construction loan closes after September 2018. Under the new guidelines, the principal balance having a stated interest
rate of zero percent (0%) is 25% of the loan balance with the remaining portion of 75% having a market based interest rate. This
is limited to the first $10.0 million of the loan. Loan amounts above $10.0 million do not participate in the 0% rate program,
but do participate at the market based interest rate. The only project financing currently affected by these changes is the <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">upgrade
to the Company&rsquo;s CJO water treatment plant. </FONT>In April 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&rsquo;s request to participate
in the NJIB loan program and borrow up to $55.0 million for this upgrade project. It is uncertain at this time if the <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">CJO
water treatment plant</FONT> upgrade project will continue to qualify for the funding under the new SRF program ranking system.
The Company is awaiting further guidance from the NJIB. These changes in the SRF program are presently anticipated to result in
an overall increase in the Company&rsquo;s long-term borrowing costs for which the Company would expect to seek rate relief at
the appropriate time.</P>

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

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">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>

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">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,
variable rate 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. The Company
manages its interest rate risk related to existing variable-rate short-term debt by limiting our variable rate exposure. Applying
a hypothetical change in the rate of interest charged by 10% on those fixed- and variable-rate 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">&nbsp;</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>

impact the Company's retirement benefit plan expense, funded status and future minimum funding requirements. Our risk is reduced
through our ability to recover retirement benefit plan costs through rates.</P>

performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated
financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.</P>

Over Financial Reporting</B></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">A company's internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in
reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable
assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.</P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Because of its inherent limitations, internal
control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.</P>

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Other financial investments in which the Company holds
a 50% or less voting interest and cannot exercise control over the operation and policies of the investments are accounted for
under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its investment interests in Non-Utility
Assets and its percentage share of the earnings or losses of the investees in Other Income (Expense).</P>

our books and records in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Middlesex and
certain of its subsidiaries, which account for 88% of Operating Revenues and 99% of Total Assets, are subject to regulation in
the state in which they operate. Those companies are required to maintain their accounts in accordance with regulatory authorities&rsquo;
rules and guidelines, which may differ from other authoritative accounting pronouncements. In those instances, the Company follows
the guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980, <I>Regulated Operations</I>.</P>

costs and obligations are deferred if it is probable that these items will be recognized for rate-making purposes in future rates.
Accordingly, we have recorded costs and obligations, which will be amortized over various future periods. Any change in the assessment
of the probability of rate-making treatment will require us to change the accounting treatment of the deferred item. We have no
reason to believe any of the deferred items that are recorded will be treated differently by the regulators in the future. For

a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) which covers all active employees who were hired prior to April 1,

in future years. For more information on the Company&rsquo;s Retirement Benefit Plans, see Note 7 &ndash; <I>Employee Benefit Plans</I>.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In 2011, Middlesex entered into a joint venture
agreement that established the legal entity RGRME for the purpose of owning and operating a renewable energy facility at a municipal
wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey. Construction was completed and the facility began operating in 2013. This public-private
partnership includes the production of electricity from solar panels and biogas to meet the electric power needs of the municipal
wastewater treatment plant. A major element of the project&rsquo;s profitability is the ability to procure, and process, an adequate
supply of high quality feedstock material from outside sources to supplement the production of biogas. Such feedstock is in the
form of fats, oils, grease and other materials from various commercial operations. During the fourth quarter of 2016, RGRME determined
that significant additional investment would need to be made to optimize the liquid waste disposal and biogas electricity generation
process. As of December 31, 2018, Middlesex had an investment of $0.2 million of equity capital and a $1.7 million loan to RGRME.
The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that RGRME will be unable to satisfy its remaining debt service obligation
to Middlesex and therefore, an allowance for uncollectible notes receivable of $1.7 million has been recorded. Furthermore, Middlesex
has recognized a noncash impairment charge of $0.2 million, representing the Middlesex&rsquo;s equity investment in RGRME. These
charges are included in &ldquo;<I>Other Expense</I>&rdquo; for the year ended December 31, 2016 on the consolidated statement of
income.</P>

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

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Restricted Cash - </B>The FASB issued guidance

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 statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017
and 2016 were revised, which resulted in $0.4 million and $1.5 million increases in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

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. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements

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 adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 is expected to result in the Company recording an
approximate $7.3 million lease liability and right-of-use asset on the Company&rsquo;s consolidated balance sheet.</P>

petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (the 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 prior 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 approved base water rates
were designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based
on an authorized return on common 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&rsquo; tax benefits
in future years. The rate increase became effective April 1, 2018.</P>

$0.1 million, primarily for the purchase of treated water from a non-affiliated water utility regulated by the NJBPU. A PWAC is
a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset
to zero once those increased costs are included in base rates. The PWAC tariff rate became effective on January 1, 2019.</P>

</FONT>These regulatory liabilities are overwhelmingly related to utility plant depreciation deduction timing differences, which

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The staff of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) recognized the complexity of reflecting the impacts of the Tax Act, and issued guidance in December 2017
which clarified accounting for income taxes if information is not yet available or complete and provides for up to a one year period
in which to complete the required analyses and accounting. The guidance described three scenarios associated with a company&rsquo;s
status of accounting for income tax reform: (1) a company is complete with its accounting for certain effects of tax reform, (2)
a company is able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and records that estimate as a provisional
amount, or (3) a company is not able to determine a reasonable estimate and therefore continues to account for income taxes based
on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted. The one-year analysis period
ended in December 2018 and there were no material changes to the Company&rsquo;s accounting for the Tax Act, which had resulted
in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes at the new federal tax rate and decreased deferred income tax expense by $0.6 million
for the year ending December 31, 2017 and decreased accumulated deferred income taxes by $24.2 million as of December 31, 2017.</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. A reserve provision against refunded taxes of $2.3
million was recorded in 2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method 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. In 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 increased its reserve provision to $4.1 million. As the IRS
examination continues, and pending its completion, the final tax liability could be different than the recorded reserve provision.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded $0.6 million in interest expense related to this reserve provision.</P>

tax benefits resulting from prior period tax positions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Subject to regulatory approval, the Company
periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant and other assets. To the extent possible, the Company
finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These government
programs provide financing at interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion
of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first enter into a construction
loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. The NJIB was formerly known as the
New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust. The current interest rate on construction loan borrowings is zero percent (0%).
When construction on the qualifying project is substantially complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction
loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%)
and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest rate at the time of closing using the credit rating of the State of
New Jersey. The current term of the long-term loans offered through the NJIB is up to thirty years. The current portion of the
principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) is 75% with the remaining portion of 25% having a market based
interest rate. NJIB generally schedules its long-term debt financings in May and November.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In September 2018, the NJIB announced changes
to the SRF program for project funding priority ranking, the proportions of interest free loans and market interest rate loans
and overall loan limits on interest free loan balances to investor-owned water utilities. These changes affect SRF projects for
which the construction loan closes after September 2018. Under the new guidelines, the principal balance having a stated interest
rate of zero percent (0%) is 25% of the loan balance with the remaining portion of 75% having a market based interest rate. This
is limited to the first $10.0 million of the loan. Loan amounts above $10.0 million do not participate in the 0% rate program,
but do participate at the market based interest rate. The only project financing currently affected by these changes is the <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">upgrade
to the Company&rsquo;s Carl J. Olsen (CJO) water treatment plant. </FONT>In April 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&rsquo;s request
to participate in the NJIB loan program and borrow up to $55.0 million for this upgrade project. It is uncertain at this time if
the <FONT STYLE="font-size: 10pt">CJO water treatment plant</FONT> upgrade project will continue to qualify for the funding under
the new SRF program ranking system. The Company is awaiting further guidance from the NJIB.</P>

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 consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 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 below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The
carrying amount and fair value of the Bonds were as follows:</P>

or the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in
Exchange Act Rule 13A-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Middlesex&rsquo;s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance

well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable
assurance with respect to the adequacy of financial statement preparation and presentation. Middlesex&rsquo;s management assessed
the effectiveness of the Company&rsquo;s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018. In making this assessment,
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in <I>Internal
Control-Integrated Framework</I> (2013 framework). Based on our assessment, we believe that as of December 31, 2018, the Company&rsquo;s

One of those investment firms also manages the Other Benefits Plan asset portfolio.&#13;Quarterly meetings are held between the Company&amp;#8217;s Pension Committee of the Board of Directors and the investment managers&#13;to review their performance and asset allocation. If the actual asset allocation is outside the targeted range, the Pension Committee&#13;reviews current market conditions and advice provided by the investment managers to determine the appropriateness of rebalancing&#13;the portfolio.&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;The objective of the Company is to maximize&#13;the long-term return on retirement plan assets, relative to a reasonable level of risk, maintain a diversified investment portfolio&#13;and maintain compliance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Construction was completed and the facility began operating in 2013. This public-private&#13;partnership includes the production of electricity from solar panels and biogas to meet the electric power needs of the municipal&#13;wastewater treatment plant. A major element of the project&amp;#8217;s profitability is the ability to procure, and process, an adequate&#13;supply of high quality feedstock material from outside sources to supplement the production of biogas. Such feedstock is in the&#13;form of fats, oils, grease and other materials from various commercial operations. During the fourth quarter of 2016, RGRME determined&#13;that significant additional investment would need to be made to optimize the liquid waste disposal and biogas electricity generation&#13;process. As of December 31, 2018, Middlesex had an investment of $0.2 million of equity capital and a $1.7 million loan to RGRME.&#13;The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that RGRME will be unable to satisfy its remaining debt service obligation&#13;to Middlesex and therefore, an allowance for uncollectible notes receivable of $1.7 million has been recorded. Furthermore, Middlesex&#13;has recognized a noncash impairment charge of $0.2 million, representing the Middlesex&amp;#8217;s equity investment in RGRME. These&#13;charges are included in &amp;#8220;&lt;i&gt;Other Expense&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#8221; for the year ended December 31, 2016 on the consolidated statement of&#13;income.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:ReceivablesPolicyTextBlock>

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 addition, an entity with a material&#13;balance of amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the&#13;restrictions. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial&#13;statements. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017&#13;and 2016 were revised, which resulted in $0.4 million and $1.5 million increases in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash&#13;at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively and $0.4 million increases in Cash, Cash&#13;Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Employee Benefit Plans-Net Periodic Benefit&#13;Cost &amp;#8211; &lt;/b&gt;The FASB issued guidance which requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the&#13;other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement&#13;and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is&#13;presented. In addition, the guidance requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components&#13;if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not&#13;have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements&#13;of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance&#13;expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.&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;b&gt;Leases - &lt;/b&gt;The FASB issued guidance related&#13;to leases which will require lessees to recognize a lease liability (a lessee&amp;#8217;s obligation to make lease payments arising&#13;from a lease, measured on a discounted basis) and a right-of-use asset (an asset that represents the lessee&amp;#8217;s right to use,&#13;or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term). 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. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 is expected to result in the Company recording an approximate $7.3 million&#13;lease liability and right-of-use asset on the Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated balance sheet.&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&#13;proposed accounting guidance that the Company is aware of that could have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlock>

We are in the business of collecting, treating, distributing and selling&#13;water for domestic, commercial, municipal, industrial and fire protection purposes. We also operate New Jersey municipal water,&#13;wastewater and storm water systems under contract and provide unregulated water and wastewater services in New Jersey and Delaware&#13;through our subsidiaries. Our rates charged to customers for water and wastewater services, the quality of services we provide&#13;and certain other matters are regulated in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU),&#13;Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC) and Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC), respectively. Our USA, USA-PA&#13;and White Marsh subsidiaries are not regulated utilities.&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;Certain reclassifications have been made to&#13;the prior year financial statements to conform with current period presentation. The reclassifications are immaterial to the overall&#13;presentation of our consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(b) Principles of Consolidation&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211;&#13;&lt;/i&gt;The financial statements for Middlesex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) are reported on a consolidated basis.&#13;All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Other financial investments in which the Company holds&#13;a 50% or less voting interest and cannot exercise control over the operation and policies of the investments are accounted for&#13;under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its investment interests in Non-Utility&#13;Assets and its percentage share of the earnings or losses of the investees in Other Income (Expense).&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;(c) System of Accounts&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211; &lt;/i&gt;Middlesex,&#13;Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater maintain their accounts in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by&#13;the NJBPU. Tidewater, TESI and Southern Shores maintain their accounts in accordance with DEPSC requirements. Twin Lakes maintains&#13;its accounts in accordance with PAPUC requirements.&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;(d) Regulatory Accounting&lt;/b&gt; - We maintain&#13;our books and records in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Middlesex and&#13;certain of its subsidiaries, which account for 88% of Operating Revenues and 99% of Total Assets, are subject to regulation in&#13;the state in which they operate. Those companies are required to maintain their accounts in accordance with regulatory authorities&amp;#8217;&#13;rules and guidelines, which may differ from other authoritative accounting pronouncements. In those instances, the Company follows&#13;the guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980, &lt;i&gt;Regulated Operations&lt;/i&gt;.&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;In accordance with ASC 980, &lt;i&gt;Regulated Operations&lt;/i&gt;,&#13;costs and obligations are deferred if it is probable that these items will be recognized for rate-making purposes in future rates.&#13;Accordingly, we have recorded costs and obligations, which will be amortized over various future periods. Any change in the assessment&#13;of the probability of rate-making treatment will require us to change the accounting treatment of the deferred item. We have no&#13;reason to believe any of the deferred items that are recorded will be treated differently by the regulators in the future. For&#13;additional information, see Note 2 &amp;#8211; &lt;i&gt;Rate and Regulatory Matters&lt;/i&gt;.&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;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(e) Retirement Benefit Plans&lt;/b&gt; - We maintain&#13;a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) which covers all active employees who were hired prior to April 1,&#13;2007. In addition, the Company maintains an unfunded supplemental plan for its executive officers that are Pension Plan participants.&#13;The Company has a retirement benefit plan other than pensions (Other Benefits Plan) for substantially all of its retired employees.&#13;Employees hired after March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan. Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance.&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;The Company&amp;#8217;s costs for providing retirement&#13;benefits are dependent upon numerous factors, including actual plan experience and assumptions of future experience. Retirement&#13;benefit plan obligations and expense are determined based on investment performance, discount rates and various other demographic&#13;factors related to the population participating in the Company&amp;#8217;s retirement benefit plans, all of which can change significantly&#13;in future years. For more information on the Company&amp;#8217;s Retirement Benefit Plans, see Note 7 &amp;#8211; &lt;i&gt;Employee Benefit Plans&lt;/i&gt;.&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;(f) Utility Plant&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211; &lt;/i&gt;Utility&#13;Plant is stated at original cost as defined for regulatory purposes. Property accounts are charged with the cost of betterments&#13;and major replacements of property. Cost includes direct material, labor and indirect charges for pension benefits and payroll&#13;taxes. The cost of labor, materials, supervision and other expenses incurred in making repairs and minor replacements and in maintaining&#13;the properties is charged to the appropriate expense accounts. At December 31, 2018, there was no event or change in circumstance&#13;that would indicate that the carrying amount of any long-lived asset was not recoverable.&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;(g) Depreciation &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211;&lt;/i&gt; Depreciation&#13;is computed by each regulated member of the Company utilizing a rate approved by the applicable regulatory authority. The accumulated&#13;provision for depreciation is charged with the cost of property retired, less salvage. The following table sets forth the range&#13;of depreciation rates for the major utility plant categories used to calculate depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2018,&#13;2017 and 2016. These rates have been approved by the NJBPU, DEPSC or PAPUC:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 80%; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;Source of Supply&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;1.15% -&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;3.44%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="2"&gt;Transmission and Distribution (T&amp;#38;D):&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 26%"&gt;Pumping&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 21%"&gt;2.00% -&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;5.39%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 17%"&gt;T&amp;#38;D &amp;#8211; Mains&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 36%"&gt;1.10%&amp;#160;&amp;#160;-&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;3.13%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;Water Treatment&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;1.65% -&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;7.09%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;T&amp;#38;D &amp;#8211; Services&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;2.12%&amp;#160;&amp;#160;-&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;3.16%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;General Plant&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;2.08% - 17.84%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;T&amp;#38;D &amp;#8211; Other&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;1.61%&amp;#160;&amp;#160;-&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;4.63%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;Wastewater Collection&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;1.42% -&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;1.81%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#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;Non-regulated fixed assets consist primarily&#13;of office buildings, furniture and fixtures, and transportation equipment. These assets are recorded at original cost and depreciation&#13;is calculated based on the estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 40 years.&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;(h) Preliminary Survey and Investigation&#13;(PS&amp;#38;I) Costs &lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211; &lt;/i&gt;In the design of water and wastewater systems that the Company ultimately intends to construct,&#13;own and operate certain expenditures are incurred to advance those project activities. These PS&amp;#38;I costs are recorded as deferred&#13;charges on the balance sheet because these costs are expected to be recovered through future rates charged to customers as the&#13;underlying projects are placed into service as utility plant. If it is subsequently determined that costs for a project recorded&#13;as PS&amp;#38;I are not recoverable through rates charged to our customers, the applicable PS&amp;#38;I costs are recorded as Other Expense&#13;on the statement of income at that time.&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;(i) Customers&amp;#8217; Advances for Construction&#13;(CAC)&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&amp;#8211; &lt;/i&gt;Utility plant and/or cash advances are provided to the Company by customers, real estate developers and&#13;builders in order to extend utility service to their properties. These transactions are recorded as CAC. Contractual Refunds of&#13;CACs in the form of cash are made by the Company and are based on either additional operating revenues generated from new customers&#13;or as new customers are connected to the respective system. After all refunds are made and/or contract terms have expired, any&#13;remaining balance is transferred to Contributions in Aid of Construction.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contributions in Aid of Construction (CIAC)&lt;/b&gt; &amp;#8211; CIAC&#13;include direct non-refundable contributions of utility plant and/or cash and the portion of CAC that becomes non-refundable.&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;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;CAC and CIAC are not depreciated in accordance&#13;with regulatory requirements. In addition, these amounts reduce the investment base for purposes of setting rates.&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;(j) Allowance for Funds Used During Construction&#13;(AFUDC)&lt;/b&gt; - Middlesex and its regulated subsidiaries capitalize AFUDC, which represents the cost of financing projects during&#13;construction. AFUDC is added to the construction costs of individual projects exceeding specific cost and construction period thresholds&#13;established for each company and then depreciated along with the rest of the utility plant&amp;#8217;s costs over its estimated useful&#13;life. AFUDC is calculated using each company&amp;#8217;s weighted cost of debt and equity as approved in their most recent respective&#13;regulatory rate order. The AFUDC rates for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 for Middlesex and Tidewater are as&#13;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;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="width: 80%; border-collapse: collapse; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; width: 34%"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center; width: 22%; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;2018&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center; width: 22%; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;2017&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; text-align: center; width: 22%; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;2016&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: top"&gt;Middlesex&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"&gt;6.50%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"&gt;6.73%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"&gt;6.73%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: top"&gt;Tidewater&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"&gt;7.92%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"&gt;7.92%&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center"&gt;7.92%&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 2in; text-align: justify; color: Red"&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;(k) Accounts Receivable&lt;/b&gt; &amp;#8211; We record&#13;bad debt expense based on historical write-offs combined with an evaluation of current conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts&#13;was $1.0 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and&#13;2016, bad debt expense was $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017&#13;and 2016, write-offs were $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.&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;In 2011, Middlesex entered into a joint venture&#13;agreement that established the legal entity RGRME for the purpose of owning and operating a renewable energy facility at a municipal&#13;wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey. Construction was completed and the facility began operating in 2013. This public-private&#13;partnership includes the production of electricity from solar panels and biogas to meet the electric power needs of the municipal&#13;wastewater treatment plant. A major element of the project&amp;#8217;s profitability is the ability to procure, and process, an adequate&#13;supply of high quality feedstock material from outside sources to supplement the production of biogas. Such feedstock is in the&#13;form of fats, oils, grease and other materials from various commercial operations. During the fourth quarter of 2016, RGRME determined&#13;that significant additional investment would need to be made to optimize the liquid waste disposal and biogas electricity generation&#13;process. As of December 31, 2018, Middlesex had an investment of $0.2 million of equity capital and a $1.7 million loan to RGRME.&#13;The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that RGRME will be unable to satisfy its remaining debt service obligation&#13;to Middlesex and therefore, an allowance for uncollectible notes receivable of $1.7 million has been recorded. Furthermore, Middlesex&#13;has recognized a noncash impairment charge of $0.2 million, representing the Middlesex&amp;#8217;s equity investment in RGRME. These&#13;charges are included in &amp;#8220;&lt;i&gt;Other Expense&lt;/i&gt;&amp;#8221; for the year ended December 31, 2016 on the consolidated statement of&#13;income.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(l) Revenues&lt;/b&gt; - The Company&amp;#8217;s revenues&#13;are primarily generated from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and maintenance&#13;contracts for services on water and wastewater systems owned by others. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when&#13;control of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity&#13;expects 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"&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;/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.

In the&#13;event that there are interest and penalties associated with income tax adjustments from income tax authority examinations,&#13;these amounts will be reported under interest and other expense, respectively. For more information on income taxes, see&#13;Note 3 &amp;#8211; &lt;i&gt;Income Taxes&lt;/i&gt;.&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;(o) Cash and Cash Equivalents&lt;/b&gt; - For&#13;purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months&#13;or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents represent bank balances and money market funds with investments maturing&#13;in less than 90 days.&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;(p) Restricted Cash &lt;/b&gt;&amp;#8211; Restricted&#13;cash includes cash proceeds from loan transactions entered into through state financing programs and are held in trusts for specific&#13;capital expenditures or debt service.&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;(q) Use of Estimates&lt;/b&gt; - Conformity with&#13;accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions&#13;that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.&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;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(r) Recent Accounting Pronouncements&lt;/b&gt;&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;Inventory&lt;/b&gt; - In July 2015, the Financial&#13;Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The new guidance replaces the current&#13;lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test when cost is determined on a first-in, first-out&#13;or average cost basis. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial&#13;statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Accounting for Share-Based Payments - &lt;/b&gt;In&#13;March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions,&#13;including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in&#13;the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Revenue Recognition&lt;/b&gt; - The FASB issued&#13;guidance, which replaces most of the existing guidance with a single set of principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with&#13;customers. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements.&#13;Disclosures related to Revenue Recognition are included above in &lt;i&gt;Revenues&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Recognition and Measurement&#13;of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities &lt;/b&gt;- The FASB issued guidance which (i) requires all investments in&#13;equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or that result in consolidation of the investee,&#13;unincorporated joint ventures and limited liability companies, to be carried at fair value through net income, (ii) requires&#13;an incremental recognition and disclosure requirement related to the presentation of fair value changes of financial&#13;liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected, (iii) amends several disclosure requirements, including the&#13;methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value or a description of the changes in the methods and&#13;assumptions used to estimate fair value, and (iv) requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and liabilities&#13;measured at amortized cost at the amount that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability. The&#13;guidance became 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-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Statement of Cash Flows - &lt;/b&gt;The FASB issued&#13;guidance which amends the previous guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash&#13;flows. The primary purpose of the amendment is to reduce the diversity in practice that has resulted from the lack of consistent&#13;principles on this topic. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Restricted Cash - &lt;/b&gt;The FASB issued guidance&#13;related to the classification and presentation of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows, which requires entities to a)&#13;include restricted cash balances in its cash and cash-equivalent balances in the statement of cash flows and b) include a reconciliation&#13;of cash and cash-equivalents per the statement of financial position as compared to the statement of cash flows. 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 addition, an entity with a material&#13;balance of amounts described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents must disclose information about the nature of the&#13;restrictions. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial&#13;statements. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017&#13;and 2016 were revised, which resulted in $0.4 million and $1.5 million increases in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash&#13;at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively and $0.4 million increases in Cash, Cash&#13;Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Employee Benefit Plans-Net Periodic Benefit&#13;Cost &amp;#8211; &lt;/b&gt;The FASB issued guidance which requires entities to (1) disaggregate the current-service-cost component from the&#13;other components of net benefit cost and present it with other current compensation costs for related employees in the income statement&#13;and (2) present the other components elsewhere in the income statement and outside of income from operations if that subtotal is&#13;presented. In addition, the guidance requires entities to disclose the income statement lines that contain the other components&#13;if they are not presented on appropriately described separate lines. The guidance became effective January 1, 2018 and did not&#13;have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s financial statements. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements&#13;of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance&#13;expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively.&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;/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;The FASB issued&#13;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) and a right-of-use asset (an asset that represents&#13;the lessee&amp;#8217;s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term). In January 2018, the FASB&#13;issued additional guidance related to leases which permits entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement&#13;arrangements to determine if they contain a lease as part of the adoption of this guidance. Land easement arrangements, or&#13;modifications to existing arrangements, entered into after adoption of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine&#13;if they meet the definition of a lease. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with&#13;early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 is expected to result in the Company recording an&#13;approximate $7.3 million lease liability and right-of-use asset on the Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated balance sheet.&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&#13;proposed accounting guidance that the Company is aware of that could have a material impact on the Company&amp;#8217;s&#13;consolidated financial statements.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:BasisOfPresentationAndSignificantAccountingPoliciesTextBlock>

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;The staff of the United States Securities and&#13;Exchange Commission (SEC) recognized the complexity of reflecting the impacts of the Tax Act, and issued guidance in December 2017&#13;which clarified accounting for income taxes if information is not yet available or complete and provides for up to a one year period&#13;in which to complete the required analyses and accounting. The guidance described three scenarios associated with a company&amp;#8217;s&#13;status of accounting for income tax reform: (1) a company is complete with its accounting for certain effects of tax reform, (2)&#13;a company is able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and records that estimate as a provisional&#13;amount, or (3) a company is not able to determine a reasonable estimate and therefore continues to account for income taxes based&#13;on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted. The one-year analysis period&#13;ended in December 2018 and there were no material changes to the Company&amp;#8217;s accounting for the Tax Act, which had resulted&#13;in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes at the new federal tax rate and decreased deferred income tax expense by $0.6 million&#13;for the year ending December 31, 2017 and decreased accumulated deferred income taxes by $24.2 million as of December 31, 2017.&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;As part of its 2014 Federal income tax return,&#13;the Company adopted the final IRS tangible property regulations and changed its accounting method for the tax treatment of expenditures&#13;that qualified as deductible repairs. 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. A reserve provision against refunded taxes of $2.3&#13;million was recorded in 2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method based on a possible challenge by the IRS during&#13;an audit examination. The Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return was subsequently selected for examination by the IRS in&#13;2016. In 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 increased its reserve provision to $4.1 million. As the IRS&#13;examination continues, and pending its completion, the final tax liability could be different than the recorded reserve provision.&#13;For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded $0.6 million in interest expense related to this reserve provision.&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;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The statutory review periods for income tax&#13;returns for the years prior to 2012 have been closed.  Other than the effects of the provision against refundable taxes discussed above, there are no unrecognized&#13;tax benefits resulting from prior period tax positions.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

(AWM), an unaffiliated wastewater treatment contractor, to operate a County-owned leachate pretreatment facility at the Monmouth&#13;County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The performance guaranty is effective through 2029 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;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;If requested to&#13;perform under the guaranty to the County and, if AWM and NSU, as guarantor to Middlesex, do not fulfill their obligations to&#13;indemnify Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County, Middlesex would be required&#13;to fulfill the remaining operational commitment of AWM. The liability and asset for the guaranty are included in Other&#13;Non-Current Liabilities and Other Non-Current Assets on the balance sheet and are approximately $1.5 million and $0.1 million&#13;as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in 2018 in the liability and asset for the guaranty resulted&#13;from the Company reassessing the expected term that the Company would serve as guarantor.&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;&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;&lt;i&gt;Leases - &lt;/i&gt;The&#13;Company has entered into office space operating leases. Rental expenses under operating leases were $0.5 million and $0.1 million&#13;for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company did not incur rental expenses for the year ended December&#13;31, 2016. The operating leases for these facilities expire in 2030. The minimum annual future rental commitment under operating&#13;leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms over the next 5 years and thereafter are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; width: 50%; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 35%; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Year&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; width: 65%"&gt;&#13;        &lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;(Millions of Dollars)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;        &lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Annual Maturities&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;2019&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;$ 0.7&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;2020&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;$ 0.8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;2021&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;$ 0.8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;2022&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;$ 0.8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;2023&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;$ 0.8&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: White"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;Thereafter&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: center"&gt;$ 5.3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&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;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Construction&lt;/i&gt;&#13;&amp;#8211;The Company has projected to spend approximately $118 million in 2019, $101 million in 2020 and $76 million in 2021 on its&#13;construction program. The Company has entered into several contractual construction agreements that in total obligate it to expend&#13;an estimated $28 million  in the future.

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 prior filing in New Jersey in 2015 as&#13;well as increased operations and maintenance costs. During the pendency of this rate matter, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017&#13;(the Tax Act) was signed into law. Under the Tax Act the maximum corporate income tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% effective&#13;January 1, 2018. Because income tax is one of the cost components used to determine a regulated utility&amp;#8217;s revenue requirement,&#13;Middlesex was able to reduce its original rate increase request by $4.9 million to $10.4 million. The approved base water rates&#13;were designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based&#13;on an authorized return on common equity of 9.6%. As part of the settlement, Middlesex received approval for regulatory accounting&#13;treatment of accumulated deferred income tax benefits associated with required adoption of tangible property regulations issued&#13;by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The settlement agreement allowed for a four-year amortization period for $28.7 million of&#13;deferred income tax benefits as well as immediate and prospective recognition of the tangible property regulations&amp;#8217; tax benefits&#13;in future years. The rate increase became effective April 1, 2018.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&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;In December 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&amp;#8217;s&#13;petition to establish its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) tariff rate to recover additional annual costs of less than&#13;$0.1 million, primarily for the purchase of treated water from a non-affiliated water utility regulated by the NJBPU. A PWAC is&#13;a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset&#13;to zero once those increased costs are included in base rates. The PWAC tariff rate became effective on January 1, 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&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 January 1, 2019,&#13;Tidewater increased its Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC) approved Distribution System Improvement Charge rate, which&#13;is expected to generate revenues of approximately $0.2 million annually.&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;In February 2019, Tidewater received approval&#13;from the DEPSC to reduce its rates, effective March 1, 2019, to reflect the lower corporate income tax rate enacted by the Tax&#13;Act, resulting in a 3.35% rate decrease for certain customer classes.&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;Pinelands&lt;/b&gt; - In 2016, the NJBPU approved&#13;$0.2 million and $0.1 million of increases, respectively, in Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater&amp;#8217;s annual base rates.&#13;The rate increases were necessitated by capital infrastructure investments by the companies, increased operations and maintenance&#13;costs and lower non-fixed fee revenues. The Pinelands Water base water rate increase was phased-in between 2016 and 2017.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Southern Shores - &lt;/b&gt;Under the terms of a multi-year DEPSC-approved&#13;agreement expiring in 2020, customer rates will increase on January 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; of each year to generate additional annual revenue&#13;of $0.1 million with each increase.&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;Twin Lakes &lt;i&gt;- &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;In 2016, the Pennsylvania&#13;Public Utilities Commission approved a $0.1 million increase in Twin Lakes&amp;#8217; base water rates.

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;In December 2017, the Tax Act was signed into&#13;law &lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including&#13;a corporate tax rate decrease from&amp;#160;35%&amp;#160;to&amp;#160;21%&amp;#160;effective for tax years beginning after&amp;#160;December&amp;#160;31,&#13;2017. The tariff rates charged to customers in the Company&amp;#8217;s regulated companies include recovery of income taxes at the&#13;statutory rate at the time those rates are approved by the respective state public utility commissions that regulate each of our&#13;regulated subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has recorded regulatory liabilities of $31.7 million and&#13;$31.6 million, respectively for excess income taxes collected through rates due to the lower income tax rate under the Tax Act.&#13;&lt;/font&gt;These regulatory liabilities are overwhelmingly related to utility plant depreciation deduction timing differences, which&#13;are subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) normalization rules. The IRS rules limit how quickly the excess taxes attributable&#13;to accelerated taxes can be returned to customers. &lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;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 requirements.&#13;In February 2019, Tidewater received approval from the DEPSC to reduce its rates to reflect the lower corporate income tax rate&#13;enacted by the Tax Act (see &lt;i&gt;Rate Matters-Tidewater&lt;/i&gt; above).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As part of Middlesex&amp;#8217;s March 2018 base&#13;water rate settlement with the NJBPU, Middlesex received approval for regulatory accounting treatment of accumulated deferred income&#13;tax benefits associated with the adoption of tangible property regulations issued by the IRS (see &lt;i&gt;Rate Matters-Middlesex &lt;/i&gt;above),&#13;and, as of December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded $34.6 million of related regulatory liabilities.&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;The Company uses composite depreciation rates&#13;for its regulated utility assets, which is currently an acceptable method under generally accepted accounting principles and is&#13;widely used in the utility industry. Historically, under the composite depreciation method, the anticipated costs of removing assets&#13;upon retirement are provided for over the life of those assets as a component of depreciation expense. The Company recovers certain&#13;asset retirement costs through rates charged to customers as an approved component of depreciation expense. As of December 31,&#13;2018 and 2017, the Company has approximately $12.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively, of expected costs of removal recovered&#13;currently in rates in excess of actual costs incurred as regulatory liabilities.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when&#13;control of a promised good or service is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity&#13;expects 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"&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;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.

Since the inception of the Investment Plan and its predecessor plan, the Company&#13;has periodically replenished the level of authorized shares in the plans. Currently, there are &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;three&#13;million shares registered with the SEC, of which there remains 0.6 million for potential issuance to participants. &lt;/font&gt;For the&#13;years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company raised approximately $1.2 million, $1.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively,&#13;through the issuance of shares under the Investment Plan. &lt;font style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; color: #333333; background-color: white"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/font&gt;The&#13;Company is offering shares of its common stock at a 5% discount to participants in the Investment Plan for purchases made by participants&#13;commencing January 2, 2019 which will continue until 200,000 shares are purchased at the discounted price or December 30, 2019,&#13;whichever event occurs first.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;This offer applies to all common stock purchases made under the Investment Plan, whether&#13;by optional cash payment or by dividend reinvestment.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&amp;#160;&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;The Company issues shares under a restricted&#13;stock plan for certain management employees, which is described in Note 7 &amp;#8211; &lt;i&gt;Employee Benefit Plans&lt;/i&gt;.&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;The Company maintains a stock plan for its&#13;outside directors (the Outside Director Stock Compensation Plan).

The maximum number of&#13;shares authorized for grant under the Outside Director Stock Compensation Plan is 100,000.&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;In the event dividends on the preferred stock&#13;are in arrears, no dividends may be declared or paid on the common stock of the Company.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Preferred Stock&lt;/i&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;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;At December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 0.1&#13;million shares of preferred stock authorized and less than 0.1 million shares of preferred stock outstanding.

If four or more quarterly dividends are in arrears, the preferred shareholders, as a class,&#13;are entitled to elect two members to the Board of Directors in addition to Directors elected by holders of the common stock. In&#13;addition, if Middlesex were to liquidate, holders of preferred stock would be paid back the stated value of their preferred shares&#13;before any distributions could be made to common stockholders.&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;The conversion feature of the no par $7.00&#13;Series Cumulative and Convertible Preferred Stock allows the security holders to exchange one convertible preferred share for twelve&#13;shares of the Company's common stock.

To the extent possible, the Company&#13;finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These government&#13;programs provide financing at interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion&#13;of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first enter into a construction&#13;loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. The NJIB was formerly known as the&#13;New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust. The current interest rate on construction loan borrowings is zero percent (0%).&#13;When construction on the qualifying project is substantially complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction&#13;loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%)&#13;and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest rate at the time of closing using the credit rating of the State of&#13;New Jersey. The current term of the long-term loans offered through the NJIB is up to thirty years. The current portion of the&#13;principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) is 75% with the remaining portion of 25% having a market based&#13;interest rate. NJIB generally schedules its long-term debt financings in May and November.&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;&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;In September 2018, the NJIB announced changes&#13;to the SRF program for project funding priority ranking, the proportions of interest free loans and market interest rate loans&#13;and overall loan limits on interest free loan balances to investor-owned water utilities. These changes affect SRF projects for&#13;which the construction loan closes after September 2018. Under the new guidelines, the principal balance having a stated interest&#13;rate of zero percent (0%) is 25% of the loan balance with the remaining portion of 75% having a market based interest rate. This&#13;is limited to the first $10.0 million of the loan. Loan amounts above $10.0 million do not participate in the 0% rate program,&#13;but do participate at the market based interest rate. The only project financing currently affected by these changes is the &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;upgrade&#13;to the Company&amp;#8217;s Carl J.

It is uncertain at this time if&#13;the &lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;CJO water treatment plant&lt;/font&gt; upgrade project will continue to qualify for the funding under&#13;the new SRF program ranking system.

margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The following methods and assumptions were&#13;used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that&#13;value. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts&#13;payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair&#13;value of First Mortgage and State Revolving Fund Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market&#13;prices for similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level&#13;1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable and the Bonds in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The&#13;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"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters&#13;by the states of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility service within these states. The other segment is&#13;primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater&#13;systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&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;Inter-segment transactions relating to operational&#13;costs are treated as pass-through expenses.

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Middlesex Water Company has operated as a water
utility in New Jersey since 1897, in Delaware, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Tidewater, since 1992 and in Pennsylvania,
through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Twin Lakes, since 2009. We are in the business of collecting, treating, distributing and selling
water for domestic, commercial, municipal, industrial and fire protection purposes. We also operate New Jersey municipal water,
wastewater and storm water systems under contract and provide unregulated water and wastewater services in New Jersey and Delaware
through our subsidiaries. Our rates charged to customers for water and wastewater services, the quality of services we provide
and certain other matters are regulated in New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU),
Delaware Public Service Commission (DEPSC) and Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC), respectively. Our USA, USA-PA
and White Marsh subsidiaries are not regulated utilities.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>(b) Principles of Consolidation</b> <i>&#8211;
</i>The financial statements for Middlesex and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) are reported on a consolidated basis.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Other financial investments in which the Company holds
a 50% or less voting interest and cannot exercise control over the operation and policies of the investments are accounted for
under the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the Company records its investment interests in Non-Utility
Assets and its percentage share of the earnings or losses of the investees in Other Income (Expense).</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>(c) System of Accounts</b> <i>&#8211; </i>Middlesex,
Pinelands Water and Pinelands Wastewater maintain their accounts in accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts prescribed by
the NJBPU. Tidewater, TESI and Southern Shores maintain their accounts in accordance with DEPSC requirements. Twin Lakes maintains
its accounts in accordance with PAPUC requirements.</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>(d) Regulatory Accounting</b> - We maintain
our books and records in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Middlesex and
certain of its subsidiaries, which account for 88% of Operating Revenues and 99% of Total Assets, are subject to regulation in
the state in which they operate. Those companies are required to maintain their accounts in accordance with regulatory authorities&#8217;
rules and guidelines, which may differ from other authoritative accounting pronouncements. In those instances, the Company follows
the guidance provided in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980, <i>Regulated Operations</i>.</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 accordance with ASC 980, <i>Regulated Operations</i>,
costs and obligations are deferred if it is probable that these items will be recognized for rate-making purposes in future rates.
Accordingly, we have recorded costs and obligations, which will be amortized over various future periods. Any change in the assessment
of the probability of rate-making treatment will require us to change the accounting treatment of the deferred item. We have no
reason to believe any of the deferred items that are recorded will be treated differently by the regulators in the future. For
additional information, see Note 2 &#8211; <i>Rate and Regulatory Matters</i>.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>(e) Retirement Benefit Plans</b> - We maintain
a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (Pension Plan) which covers all active employees who were hired prior to April 1,
2007. In addition, the Company maintains an unfunded supplemental plan for its executive officers that are Pension Plan participants.
The Company has a retirement benefit plan other than pensions (Other Benefits Plan) for substantially all of its retired employees.
Employees hired after March 31, 2007 are not eligible to participate in this plan. Coverage includes healthcare and life insurance.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s costs for providing retirement
benefits are dependent upon numerous factors, including actual plan experience and assumptions of future experience. Retirement
benefit plan obligations and expense are determined based on investment performance, discount rates and various other demographic
factors related to the population participating in the Company&#8217;s retirement benefit plans, all of which can change significantly
in future years. For more information on the Company&#8217;s Retirement Benefit Plans, see Note 7 &#8211; <i>Employee Benefit Plans</i>.</p>

Plant is stated at original cost as defined for regulatory purposes. Property accounts are charged with the cost of betterments
and major replacements of property. Cost includes direct material, labor and indirect charges for pension benefits and payroll
taxes. The cost of labor, materials, supervision and other expenses incurred in making repairs and minor replacements and in maintaining
the properties is charged to the appropriate expense accounts. At December 31, 2018, there was no event or change in circumstance
that would indicate that the carrying amount of any long-lived asset was not recoverable.</p>

is computed by each regulated member of the Company utilizing a rate approved by the applicable regulatory authority. The accumulated
provision for depreciation is charged with the cost of property retired, less salvage. The following table sets forth the range
of depreciation rates for the major utility plant categories used to calculate depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2018,
2017 and 2016. These rates have been approved by the NJBPU, DEPSC or PAPUC:</p>

CACs in the form of cash are made by the Company and are based on either additional operating revenues generated from new customers
or as new customers are connected to the respective system. After all refunds are made and/or contract terms have expired, any
remaining balance is transferred to Contributions in Aid of Construction.</p>

bad debt expense based on historical write-offs combined with an evaluation of current conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts
was $1.0 million and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In 2011, Middlesex entered into a joint venture
agreement that established the legal entity RGRME for the purpose of owning and operating a renewable energy facility at a municipal
wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey. Construction was completed and the facility began operating in 2013. This public-private
partnership includes the production of electricity from solar panels and biogas to meet the electric power needs of the municipal
wastewater treatment plant. A major element of the project&#8217;s profitability is the ability to procure, and process, an adequate
supply of high quality feedstock material from outside sources to supplement the production of biogas. Such feedstock is in the
form of fats, oils, grease and other materials from various commercial operations. During the fourth quarter of 2016, RGRME determined
that significant additional investment would need to be made to optimize the liquid waste disposal and biogas electricity generation
process. As of December 31, 2018, Middlesex had an investment of $0.2 million of equity capital and a $1.7 million loan to RGRME.
The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that RGRME will be unable to satisfy its remaining debt service obligation
to Middlesex and therefore, an allowance for uncollectible notes receivable of $1.7 million has been recorded. Furthermore, Middlesex
has recognized a noncash impairment charge of $0.2 million, representing the Middlesex&#8217;s equity investment in RGRME. These
charges are included in &#8220;<i>Other Expense</i>&#8221; for the year ended December 31, 2016 on the consolidated statement of
income.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>(l) Revenues</b> - 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">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>

Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on simplifying the measurement of inventory. The new guidance replaces the current
lower of cost or market test with a lower of cost and net realizable value test when cost is determined on a first-in, first-out

March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions,
including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in
the statement of cash flows. The guidance was effective January 1, 2017 and did not have a material impact on the Company&#8217;s

equity securities, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or that result in consolidation of the investee,
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

<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-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 statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017
and 2016 were revised, which resulted in $0.4 million and $1.5 million increases in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively and $0.4 million increases in Cash, Cash
Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2016.</p>

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. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements
of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance
expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $0.8 million and $0.3 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&#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 adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 is expected to result in the Company recording an
approximate $7.3 million lease liability and right-of-use asset on the Company&#8217;s consolidated balance sheet.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Middlesex</b> - In March 2018, Middlesex&#8217;s
petition to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (the 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 prior 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 approved base water rates
were designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital in rate base of $245.5 million, based
on an authorized return on common 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&#8217; 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">In December 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&#8217;s
petition to establish its Purchased Water Adjustment Clause (PWAC) tariff rate to recover additional annual costs of less than
$0.1 million, primarily for the purchase of treated water from a non-affiliated water utility regulated by the NJBPU. A PWAC is
a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset
to zero once those increased costs are included in base rates. The PWAC tariff rate became effective on January 1, 2019.</p>

costs and lower non-fixed fee revenues. The Pinelands Water base water rate increase was phased-in between 2016 and 2017.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Retirement benefits include pension and other
retirement benefits that have been recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 715<i>,
Compensation &#8211; Retirement Benefits. </i>These amounts represent obligations in excess of current funding, which the Company
believes will be fully recovered in rates set by the regulatory authorities.</p>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The recovery period for income taxes is dependent
upon when the temporary differences between the tax and book treatment of various items reverse.</p>

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In December 2017, the Tax Act was signed into
law <font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">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. The tariff rates charged to customers in the Company&#8217;s regulated companies include recovery of income taxes at the
statutory rate at the time those rates are approved by the respective state public utility commissions that regulate each of our
regulated subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has recorded regulatory liabilities of $31.7 million and
$31.6 million, respectively for excess income taxes collected through rates due to the lower income tax rate under the Tax Act.
</font>These regulatory liabilities are overwhelmingly related to utility plant depreciation deduction timing differences, which
are subject to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) normalization rules. The IRS rules limit how quickly the excess taxes attributable
to accelerated taxes can be returned to customers. <font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">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 requirements.
In February 2019, Tidewater received approval from the DEPSC to reduce its rates to reflect the lower corporate income tax rate
enacted by the Tax Act (see <i>Rate Matters-Tidewater</i> above).</font></p>

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



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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As part of Middlesex&#8217;s March 2018 base
water rate settlement with the NJBPU, Middlesex received approval for regulatory accounting treatment of accumulated deferred income
tax benefits associated with the adoption of tangible property regulations issued by the IRS (see <i>Rate Matters-Middlesex </i>above),
and, as of December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded $34.6 million of related regulatory liabilities.</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 uses composite depreciation rates
for its regulated utility assets, which is currently an acceptable method under generally accepted accounting principles and is
widely used in the utility industry. Historically, under the composite depreciation method, the anticipated costs of removing assets
upon retirement are provided for over the life of those assets as a component of depreciation expense. The Company recovers certain
asset retirement costs through rates charged to customers as an approved component of depreciation expense. As of December 31,
2018 and 2017, the Company has approximately $12.8 million and $12.2 million, respectively, of expected costs of removal recovered
currently in rates in excess of actual costs incurred as regulatory liabilities.</p><span></span>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The staff of the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) recognized the complexity of reflecting the impacts of the Tax Act, and issued guidance in December 2017
which clarified accounting for income taxes if information is not yet available or complete and provides for up to a one year period
in which to complete the required analyses and accounting. The guidance described three scenarios associated with a company&#8217;s
status of accounting for income tax reform: (1) a company is complete with its accounting for certain effects of tax reform, (2)
a company is able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and records that estimate as a provisional
amount, or (3) a company is not able to determine a reasonable estimate and therefore continues to account for income taxes based
on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Tax Act being enacted. The one-year analysis period
ended in December 2018 and there were no material changes to the Company&#8217;s accounting for the Tax Act, which had resulted
in the re-measurement of deferred income taxes at the new federal tax rate and decreased deferred income tax expense by $0.6 million
for the year ending December 31, 2017 and decreased accumulated deferred income taxes by $24.2 million as of December 31, 2017.</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">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. A reserve provision against refunded taxes of $2.3
million was recorded in 2015 at the time of filing its change in accounting method 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. In 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 increased its reserve provision to $4.1 million. As the IRS
examination continues, and pending its completion, the final tax liability could be different than the recorded reserve provision.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company has recorded $0.6 million in interest expense related to this reserve provision.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The statutory review periods for income tax
returns for the years prior to 2012 have been closed.  Other than the effects of the provision against refundable taxes discussed above, there are no unrecognized
tax benefits resulting from prior period tax positions.</p><span></span>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><i>Guarantees - </i>As part of an agreement
with the County of Monmouth, New Jersey (County), Middlesex serves as guarantor of the performance of Applied Water Management,
Inc. (AWM), an unaffiliated wastewater treatment contractor, to operate a County-owned leachate pretreatment facility at the Monmouth
County Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The performance guaranty is effective through 2029 unless another guarantor,
acceptable to the County, replaces Middlesex before such date. Under agreements with AWM and Natural Systems Utilities, LLC (NSU),
the parent company of AWM, Middlesex earns a fee for providing the performance guaranty. In addition, Middlesex may provide operational
support to the facility, as needed, and AWM and NSU, serving as guarantor to Middlesex with respect to the performance of AWM,
agree to indemnify Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white">If requested to
perform under the guaranty to the County and, if AWM and NSU, as guarantor to Middlesex, do not fulfill their obligations to
indemnify Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County, Middlesex would be required
to fulfill the remaining operational commitment of AWM. The liability and asset for the guaranty are included in Other
Non-Current Liabilities and Other Non-Current Assets on the balance sheet and are approximately $1.5 million and $0.1 million
as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in 2018 in the liability and asset for the guaranty resulted
from the Company reassessing the expected term that the Company would serve as guarantor.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Subject to regulatory approval, the Company
periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant and other assets. To the extent possible, the Company
finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware. These government
programs provide financing at interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion
of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first enter into a construction
loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. The NJIB was formerly known as the
New Jersey Environmental Infrastructure Trust. The current interest rate on construction loan borrowings is zero percent (0%).
When construction on the qualifying project is substantially complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction
loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%)
and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest rate at the time of closing using the credit rating of the State of
New Jersey. The current term of the long-term loans offered through the NJIB is up to thirty years. The current portion of the
principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) is 75% with the remaining portion of 25% having a market based
interest rate. NJIB generally schedules its long-term debt financings in May and November.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In September 2018, the NJIB announced changes
to the SRF program for project funding priority ranking, the proportions of interest free loans and market interest rate loans
and overall loan limits on interest free loan balances to investor-owned water utilities. These changes affect SRF projects for
which the construction loan closes after September 2018. Under the new guidelines, the principal balance having a stated interest
rate of zero percent (0%) is 25% of the loan balance with the remaining portion of 75% having a market based interest rate. This
is limited to the first $10.0 million of the loan. Loan amounts above $10.0 million do not participate in the 0% rate program,
but do participate at the market based interest rate. The only project financing currently affected by these changes is the <font style="font-size: 10pt">upgrade
to the Company&#8217;s Carl J. Olsen (CJO) water treatment plant. </font>In April 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&#8217;s request
to participate in the NJIB loan program and borrow up to $55.0 million for this upgrade project. It is uncertain at this time if
the <font style="font-size: 10pt">CJO water treatment plant</font> upgrade project will continue to qualify for the funding under
the new SRF program ranking system. The Company is awaiting further guidance from the NJIB.</p>

time schedule for the <font style="font-size: 10pt">CJO water treatment plant</font> upgrade project and other projects that were
expected to qualify under the prior SRF program ranking system, Middlesex requested approval from the NJBPU to issue and sell up
to $140 million of First Mortgage Bonds through the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) in whole or in phases periodically
through December 31, 2022. The request was filed with the NJBPU in December 2018 and approved in February 2019. The Company expects
to issue and sell the first phase of First Mortgage Bonds by the third quarter of 2019. The amount of the offering could be between
$25 million and $75 million depending on the guidance received from the NJIB.</p>

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 consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 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 below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The
carrying amount and fair value of the Bonds were as follows:</p>

amounts of $22.6 million and $21.4 million at December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Their relative fair values
cannot be accurately estimated since future refund payments depend on several variables, including new customer connections, customer

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Because the Company is subject to regulation
in the states in which it operates, it is required to maintain its accounts in accordance with the regulatory authority&#8217;s
rules and guidelines, which may differ from other authoritative accounting pronouncements. In those instances, the Company follows
the guidance of ASC 980, <i>Regulated Operations</i>. Based on prior regulatory practice, and in accordance with the guidance in
ASC 980, <i>Regulated Operations</i>, the Company records underfunded Pension Plan and Other Benefits Plan obligation costs, which
otherwise would be recognized in Other Comprehensive Income under ASC 715, <i>Compensation &#8211; Retirement Benefits</i>, as
a Regulatory Asset, and expects to recover those costs in rates charged to customers.</p>

portion of the Pension Plan asset portfolio. One of those investment firms also manages the Other Benefits Plan asset portfolio.
Quarterly meetings are held between the Company&#8217;s Pension Committee of the Board of Directors and the investment managers
to review their performance and asset allocation. If the actual asset allocation is outside the targeted range, the Pension Committee
reviews current market conditions and advice provided by the investment managers to determine the appropriateness of rebalancing
the portfolio.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company has identified two reportable segments.
One is the regulated business of collecting, treating and distributing water on a retail and wholesale basis to residential, commercial,
industrial and fire protection customers in parts of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. This segment also includes regulated
wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware. The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters
by the states of New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility service 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.</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">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>

agreement that established the legal entity RGRME for the purpose of owning and operating a renewable energy facility at a municipal
wastewater treatment plant in New Jersey. Construction was completed and the facility began operating in 2013. This public-private
partnership includes the production of electricity from solar panels and biogas to meet the electric power needs of the municipal
wastewater treatment plant. A major element of the project&#8217;s profitability is the ability to procure, and process, an adequate
supply of high quality feedstock material from outside sources to supplement the production of biogas. Such feedstock is in the
form of fats, oils, grease and other materials from various commercial operations. During the fourth quarter of 2016, RGRME determined
that significant additional investment would need to be made to optimize the liquid waste disposal and biogas electricity generation
process. As of December 31, 2018, Middlesex had an investment of $0.2 million of equity capital and a $1.7 million loan to RGRME.
The Company has determined that it is more likely than not that RGRME will be unable to satisfy its remaining debt service obligation
to Middlesex and therefore, an allowance for uncollectible notes receivable of $1.7 million has been recorded. Furthermore, Middlesex
has recognized a noncash impairment charge of $0.2 million, representing the Middlesex&#8217;s equity investment in RGRME. These
charges are included in &#8220;<i>Other Expense</i>&#8221; for the year ended December 31, 2016 on the consolidated statement of

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

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Revenue Recognition</b> - The 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 above in <i>Revenues</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, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or that result in consolidation of the investee,
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-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-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">&#160;</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 statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2017
and 2016 were revised, which resulted in $0.4 million and $1.5 million increases in Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2017, respectively and $0.4 million increases in Cash, Cash
Equivalents and Restricted Cash at the Beginning and End of the Period for the year ended December 31, 2016.</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. As a result of adopting this guidance, the consolidated statements
of income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were revised, which resulted in increases in Operations and Maintenance
expense and Other Income (Expense), net of $0.8 million and $0.3 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&#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 adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 is expected to result in the Company recording an approximate $7.3 million
lease liability and right-of-use asset on the Company&#8217;s consolidated balance sheet.</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
consolidated financial statements.</p><span></span>
