<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Leases - </B>On January 1, 2019,
the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance related to leases which required lessees
to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset. The Company elected the optional transition method of adoption
option to apply the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The
Company utilized the package of transition practical expedients provided by the new guidance, including carrying forward
prior conclusions related to contracts that contain leases and lease classification. The Company also utilized the
transition practical expedient permitting entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to
determine if they contain a lease. 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 adoption of this
guidance resulted in the recording of a $6.7 million right-of-use asset,  a $7.1 million lease liability and a $0.4 million
regulatory asset on the Company&rsquo;s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. For further discussion, see
&ldquo;<I>Leases</I>&rdquo; in <I>Note 7 &ndash; Commitments and Contingent Liabilities</I>.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Middlesex &ndash; </B>In December 2018,
the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (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>

resulting in an overall rate decrease of 3.35%, or $1.0 million of revenues, on an annual basis. The DEPSC also approved a one-time

Water and Pinelands Wastewater filed separate petitions with the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately
$0.2 million and $0.5 million per year, respectively. These requests were necessitated by capital infrastructure investments both
companies have made, or have committed to make, and increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict whether the NJBPU
will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the requests. A decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected before

ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 47,649 common shares ($2.6 million) and 7,665 common shares (approximately $0.3 million),
respectively, issued under the Middlesex Water Company Investment Plan (the Investment Plan). On January 2, 2019, the Company began
offering shares of its common stock for purchase at a 5% discount to participants in the Investment Plan. The discount offering
will continue until 200,000 shares are purchased at the discounted price or December 30, 2019, whichever event occurs first.&nbsp;&nbsp;The
discount applies to all common stock purchases made under the Investment Plan, whether by optional cash payment or by dividend
reinvestment.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In March 2019, Middlesex filed a petition with
the NJBPU seeking approval to issue and sell up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in one or more transactions through December
31, 2022. The sale of these additional shares of common stock is part of the Company&rsquo;s comprehensive financing plan to fund
its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment program. As described below in &ldquo;<I>Long-term Debt&rdquo;</I>, the
NJBPU approved the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) debt funding component of the financing plan. We believe the
NJBPU will approve the common stock offering request, as filed, during the second quarter of 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Long-term Debt - </B>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 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.</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.&nbsp;The Company is subject to regulations as to its rates, services and other matters
by New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised
of non-regulated contract services for the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New
Jersey and Delaware.&nbsp;Inter-segment transactions relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance
charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third party
lender.</P>

generated from regulated tariff-based sales of water and wastewater services and non-regulated operation and maintenance contracts

contracts with customers is derived from tariff-based sales that result from the obligation to provide water and wastewater services

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 and 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 of service
provided to Tidewater customers and are recognized as service is provided.</P>

Certain of these contracts continue through 2022 and thus contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects

<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 Internal Revenue Service (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. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company agreed to certain modifications of its accounting method for expenditures
that qualify as deductible repairs and the IRS concluded its audit of the Company&rsquo;s 2014 federal income tax return. The modifications
also impacted the Company&rsquo;s filed 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. The Company paid $0.8 million in income
taxes in connection with the conclusion of the 2014 and 2015 tax years. The IRS is currently examining the 2016 and 2017 tax years
to determine the impact of the modifications on those tax years. The Company reduced its income tax reserve provision to $3.1 million
as of March 31, 2019. Pending completion of the 2016 and 2017 examinations, the final tax liability could be different than the
recorded reserve provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reduced its potential interest expense liability
to $0.3 million as a result of the closing of the 2014 and 2015 tax years and the revised income tax reserve provision.</P>

NJBPU) seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million per year, respectively. These requests
were necessitated by capital infrastructure investments both companies have made, or have committed to make, and increased operations
and maintenance costs. We cannot predict whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the requests.
A decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected before the fourth quarter of 2019.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><B>Common Stock Offering - </B>In March 2019,
Middlesex filed a petition with the NJBPU seeking approval to issue and sell up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in one
or more transactions through December 31, 2022. The sale of these additional shares of common stock is part of the Company&rsquo;s
comprehensive financing plan to fund its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment plan. We believe the NJBPU will approve
the common stock offering request, as filed, during the second quarter of 2019.</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 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>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We are exposed to market risk associated with
changes in interest rates and commodity prices. The Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal
course of business. Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use of fixed rate long-term debt and, to a lesser extent,
short-term debt. The Company&rsquo;s interest rate risk related to existing fixed rate, long-term debt is not material due to the
term of the majority of our First Mortgage Bonds, which have final maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2047. Over the next twelve
months, approximately $7.3 million of the current portion of existing long-term debt instruments will mature. Applying a hypothetical
change in the rate of interest charged by 10% on those borrowings, would not have a material effect on our earnings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Our risks associated with commodity price increases
for chemicals, electricity and other commodities are reduced through contractual arrangements and the ability to recover price
increases through rates. Non-performance by these commodity suppliers could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations,
financial position and cash flows.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">We are exposed to credit risk for both our
Regulated and Non-Regulated business segments. Our Regulated operations serve residential, commercial, industrial and municipal
customers while our Non-Regulated operations engage in business activities with developers, government entities and other customers.
Our primary credit risk is exposure to customer default on contractual obligations and the associated loss that may be incurred
due to the non-payment of customer accounts receivable balances. Our credit risk is managed through established credit and collection
policies which are in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and involve monitoring of customer exposure and the use
of credit risk mitigation measures such as letters of credit or prepayment arrangements. Our credit portfolio is diversified with
no significant customer or industry concentrations. In addition, our Regulated businesses are generally able to recover all prudently
incurred costs including uncollectible customer accounts receivable expenses and collection costs through rates.</P>

customers.</P>

A PWAC is a rate mechanism that allows for recovery of increased purchased&#13;water costs between base rate case filings. The PWAC is reset to zero once those increased costs are included in base rates. The&#13;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; 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;&lt;b&gt;Tidewater - &lt;/b&gt;Effective January 1, 2019,&#13;Tidewater reset its Delaware Public Service Commission (the 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;&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;font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;In&#13;February 2019, Tidewater received approval from the DEPSC to reduce its rates, effective March 1, 2019, to reflect the lower corporate&#13;income tax rate enacted by the &lt;/font&gt;Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the Tax Act)&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif"&gt;,&#13;resulting in an overall rate decrease of 3.35%, or $1.0 million of revenues, on an annual basis. The DEPSC also approved a one-time&#13;credit of $0.7 million to customers&amp;#8217; accounts related to the lower corporate income tax rate.&lt;/font&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;Pinelands - &lt;/b&gt;In March 2019, Pinelands&#13;Water and Pinelands Wastewater filed separate petitions with the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately&#13;$0.2 million and $0.5 million per year, respectively. These requests were necessitated by capital infrastructure investments both&#13;companies have made, or have committed to make, and increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict whether the NJBPU&#13;will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the requests. A decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected before&#13;the fourth quarter of 2019.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

On January 2, 2019, the Company began&#13;offering shares of its common stock for purchase at a 5% discount to participants in the Investment Plan. The discount offering&#13;will continue until 200,000 shares are purchased at the discounted price or December 30, 2019, whichever event occurs first.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The&#13;discount applies to all common stock purchases made under the Investment Plan, whether by optional cash payment or by dividend&#13;reinvestment.&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 March 2019, Middlesex filed a petition with&#13;the NJBPU seeking approval to issue and sell up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in one or more transactions through December&#13;31, 2022. The sale of these additional shares of common stock is part of the Company&amp;#8217;s comprehensive financing plan to fund&#13;its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment program. As described below in &amp;#8220;&lt;i&gt;Long-term Debt&amp;#8221;&lt;/i&gt;, the&#13;NJBPU approved the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) debt funding component of the financing plan. We believe the&#13;NJBPU will approve the common stock offering request, as filed, during the second quarter of 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Long-term Debt - &lt;/b&gt;Subject to regulatory&#13;approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant and other assets. To the extent&#13;possible, the Company finances qualifying capital projects under State Revolving Fund (SRF) loan programs in New Jersey and Delaware.&#13;These government programs provide financing at interest rates that are typically below rates available in the broader financial&#13;markets. A portion of the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free. Under the New Jersey SRF program, borrowers first&#13;enter into a construction loan agreement with the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) at a below market interest rate. The current&#13;interest rate on construction loan borrowings is zero percent (0%). When construction on the qualifying project is substantially&#13;complete, NJIB will coordinate the conversion of the construction loan into a long-term securitized loan with a portion of the&#13;principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent (0%) and a portion of the principal balance at a market interest&#13;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&#13;through the NJIB is up to thirty years. The current portion of the principal balance having a stated interest rate of zero percent&#13;(0%) is 75% with the remaining portion of 25% having a market based interest rate. NJIB generally schedules its long-term debt&#13;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;&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 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.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The only active project affected by the SRF&#13;program changes is the upgrade to the Company&amp;#8217;s Carl J. Olsen water treatment plant (CJO Plant). In April 2018, the NJBPU&#13;approved Middlesex&amp;#8217;s request to participate in the NJIB loan program and borrow up to $55.0 million for the CJO Plant project.&#13;Although the CJO Plant project has met all the SRF Program requirements, the NJIB has been unable to commit to funding the construction&#13;loan.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In order to help ensure adherence to its comprehensive&#13;financing plan, Middlesex received approval from the NJBPU in February 2019 to issue and sell up to $140 million of First Mortgage&#13;Bonds through the NJEDA in one or more transactions through December 31, 2022.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In May 2018, Middlesex repaid its $9.5 million&#13;RENEW 2017 interest-free construction loan by issuing to the NJIB first mortgage bonds designated as Series 2018A ($7.1 million)&#13;and Series 2018B ($2.4 million). The interest rate on the Series 2018A bond is zero and the interest rate on the Series 2018B bond&#13;ranges between 3.0% and 5.0%. Through March 31, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $8.2 million and expects to draw the remaining&#13;proceeds during the second quarter of 2019. The final maturity date for both bonds is August 1, 2047, with scheduled debt service&#13;payments over the life of the loans.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In April 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&amp;#8217;s&#13;request to participate in the NJIB loan program to fund the construction of a large-diameter transmission pipeline from the CJO&#13;water treatment plant and interconnect with our distribution system. Middlesex closed on a $43.5 million NJIB interest-free construction&#13;loan in August 2018. Through March 31, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $16.8 million and expects to draw down the remaining&#13;proceeds through the end of 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In March 2018, the NJBPU approved Middlesex&amp;#8217;s&#13;request to borrow up to $14.0 million under the NJIB program to fund the 2018 RENEW Program, which is an ongoing initiative to&#13;eliminate all unlined water distribution mains in the Middlesex system. Middlesex closed on an $8.7 million NJIB construction loan&#13;in September 2018. Through March 31, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $6.6 million and expects to draw the remaining proceeds&#13;during the remainder of 2019. The NJIB has informed the Company that the RENEW 2018 interest-free construction loan is scheduled&#13;for the May 2019 long-term debt financing program.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In March 2018, the DEPSC approved Tidewater&amp;#8217;s&#13;request to borrow up to $0.9 million under the Delaware SRF program to fund the replacement of an entire water distribution system&#13;of a small Delaware subdivision. Tidewater closed on the SRF loan in May 2018. In April 2019, Tidewater received approval from&#13;the DEPSC to increase the borrowing to $1.7 million based on revised project cost estimates. The closing on the additional $0.8&#13;million is expected to occur in June 2019.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fair Value of Financial Instruments -&lt;/b&gt;&#13;The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments&#13;for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets&#13;for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their respective fair values due&#13;to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of First Mortgage and State Revolving Fund Bonds (collectively,&#13;the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair value&#13;of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level 1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable and the Bonds in the table&#13;below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the Bonds were as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 0 1in; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" style="width: 80%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; border-collapse: collapse"&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="2" style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;March 31, 2019&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td colspan="2" style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;December 31, 2018&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 40%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 15%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Carrying&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 15%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Fair&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 15%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Carrying&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="width: 15%; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Fair &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Amount&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Value&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Amount&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="border-bottom: Black 1pt solid; padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Value&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;tr style="vertical-align: top; background-color: rgb(204,238,255)"&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 0; padding-left: 0"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Bonds&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$100,910&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$103,247&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$101,411&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&#13;    &lt;td style="padding-right: 5.4pt; padding-left: 5.4pt; text-align: center; vertical-align: bottom"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;$102,789&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&#13;&lt;/table&gt;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;For other long-term debt for which there&#13;was no quoted market price and there is not an active trading market, it was not practicable to estimate their fair value&#13;(for details, including carrying value, interest rate and due date on these series of long-term debt, please refer to those&#13;series noted as &amp;#8220;Amortizing Secured Note&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;State Revolving Trust Note&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Construction&#13;Loans&amp;#8221; on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Capital Stock and Long-Term Debt).

The adoption resulted in a net reduction of $17.6 million&#13;in taxes previously remitted to the IRS, for which the Company has already sought and received the tax refunds. A reserve provision&#13;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&#13;challenge by the IRS during an audit examination. The Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return was subsequently selected&#13;for examination by the IRS in 2016. In 2018, the Company received information from the IRS regarding certain aspects of the its&#13;adopted accounting method used to calculate qualifying tangible property repair cost deductions and increased its reserve provision&#13;to $4.1 million. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company agreed to certain modifications of its accounting method for expenditures&#13;that qualify as deductible repairs and the IRS concluded its audit of the Company&amp;#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return. The modifications&#13;also impacted the Company&amp;#8217;s filed 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. The Company paid $0.8 million in income&#13;taxes in connection with the conclusion of the 2014 and 2015 tax years. The IRS is currently examining the 2016 and 2017 tax years&#13;to determine the impact of the modifications on those tax years. The Company reduced its income tax reserve provision to $3.1 million&#13;as of March 31, 2019. Pending completion of the 2016 and 2017 examinations, the final tax liability could be different than the&#13;recorded reserve provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reduced its potential interest expense liability&#13;to $0.3 million as a result of the closing of the 2014 and 2015 tax years and the revised income tax reserve provision.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:IncomeTaxDisclosureTextBlock>

(AWM), an unaffiliated wastewater contractor, to operate a County-owned leachate pretreatment facility at the Monmouth County&#13;Reclamation Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. The performance guaranty is effective through 2028 unless another guarantor, acceptable&#13;to the County, replaces Middlesex before such date. Under agreements with AWM and Natural Systems Utilities, LLC (NSU), the parent&#13;company of AWM, Middlesex earns a fee for providing the performance guaranty. In addition, Middlesex may provide operational support&#13;to the facility, as needed, and AWM and NSU, serving as guarantor to Middlesex with respect to the performance of AWM, have indemnified&#13;Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; background-color: white"&gt;If requested to perform&#13;under the guaranty to the County and, if AWM and NSU, as guarantor to Middlesex, do not fulfill their obligations to indemnify&#13;Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County, Middlesex would be required to fulfill&#13;the remaining operational commitment of AWM. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability recognized in Other&#13;Non-Current Liabilities on the balance sheet for the guaranty is approximately $1.5 million.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#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;&lt;b&gt;Leases&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;- &lt;/i&gt;The Company determines&#13;if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Generally, a lease agreement exists if the Company determines that the arrangement gives&#13;the Company control over the use of an identified asset and obtains substantially all of the benefits from the identified asset.&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;The Company has entered into an operating lease&#13;of office space for administrative purposes, expiring in 2030.

Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the&#13;present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company&amp;#8217;s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount&#13;rate and as such the Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate (4.03%) based on the information available at commencement&#13;date in determining the present value of lease payments.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;&#13;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif;

The Company elected the optional transition method of adoption&#13;option to apply the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The&#13;Company utilized the package of transition practical expedients provided by the new guidance, including carrying forward&#13;prior conclusions related to contracts that contain leases and lease classification. The Company also utilized the&#13;transition practical expedient permitting entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to&#13;determine if they contain a lease. Land easement arrangements, or modifications to existing arrangements, entered into after&#13;adoption of this guidance will need to be evaluated to determine if they meet the definition of a lease. The adoption of this&#13;guidance resulted in the recording of a $6.7 million right-of-use asset,  a $7.1 million lease liability and a $0.4 million&#13;regulatory asset on the Company&amp;#8217;s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance related to leases which required lessees
to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset. The Company elected the optional transition method of adoption
option to apply the requirements of the standard in the period of adoption with no restatement of prior periods. The
Company utilized the package of transition practical expedients provided by the new guidance, including carrying forward
prior conclusions related to contracts that contain leases and lease classification. The Company also utilized the
transition practical expedient permitting entities to forgo the evaluation of existing land easement arrangements to
determine if they contain a lease. 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 adoption of this
guidance resulted in the recording of a $6.7 million right-of-use asset,  a $7.1 million lease liability and a $0.4 million
regulatory asset on the Company&#8217;s consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. For further discussion, see
&#8220;<i>Leases</i>&#8221; in <i>Note 7 &#8211; Commitments and Contingent Liabilities</i>.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Middlesex &#8211; </b>In December 2018,
the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (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>

Tidewater reset its Delaware Public Service Commission (the DEPSC) approved Distribution System Improvement Charge rate, which
is expected to generate revenues of approximately $0.2 million annually.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><font style="font-family: Times New Roman, Times, Serif">In

resulting in an overall rate decrease of 3.35%, or $1.0 million of revenues, on an annual basis. The DEPSC also approved a one-time
credit of $0.7 million to customers&#8217; accounts related to the lower corporate income tax rate.</font></p>

Water and Pinelands Wastewater filed separate petitions with the NJBPU seeking permission to increase base rates by approximately
$0.2 million and $0.5 million per year, respectively. These requests were necessitated by capital infrastructure investments both
companies have made, or have committed to make, and increased operations and maintenance costs. We cannot predict whether the NJBPU
will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the requests. A decision by the NJBPU in either matter is not expected before
the fourth quarter of 2019.</p><span></span>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Common Stock - </b>During the three months
ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, there were 47,649 common shares ($2.6 million) and 7,665 common shares (approximately $0.3 million),
respectively, issued under the Middlesex Water Company Investment Plan (the Investment Plan). On January 2, 2019, the Company began
offering shares of its common stock for purchase at a 5% discount to participants in the Investment Plan. The discount offering
will continue until 200,000 shares are purchased at the discounted price or December 30, 2019, whichever event occurs first.&#160;&#160;The

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In March 2019, Middlesex filed a petition with
the NJBPU seeking approval to issue and sell up to 1,500,000 shares of its common stock in one or more transactions through December
31, 2022. The sale of these additional shares of common stock is part of the Company&#8217;s comprehensive financing plan to fund
its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment program. As described below in &#8220;<i>Long-term Debt&#8221;</i>, the
NJBPU approved the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) debt funding component of the financing plan. We believe the
NJBPU will approve the common stock offering request, as filed, during the second quarter of 2019.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify"><b>Long-term Debt - </b>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 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.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The only active project affected by the SRF
program changes is the upgrade to the Company&#8217;s Carl J. Olsen water treatment plant (CJO Plant). 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 the CJO Plant project.
Although the CJO Plant project has met all the SRF Program requirements, the NJIB has been unable to commit to funding the construction
loan.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">In May 2018, Middlesex repaid its $9.5 million
RENEW 2017 interest-free construction loan by issuing to the NJIB first mortgage bonds designated as Series 2018A ($7.1 million)
and Series 2018B ($2.4 million). The interest rate on the Series 2018A bond is zero and the interest rate on the Series 2018B bond
ranges between 3.0% and 5.0%. Through March 31, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $8.2 million and expects to draw the remaining
proceeds during the second quarter of 2019. The final maturity date for both bonds is August 1, 2047, with scheduled debt service

in September 2018. Through March 31, 2019, Middlesex has drawn a total of $6.6 million and expects to draw the remaining proceeds

the DEPSC to increase the borrowing to $1.7 million based on revised project cost estimates. The closing on the additional $0.8

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

with the County of Monmouth, New Jersey (County), Middlesex serves as guarantor of the performance of Applied Water Management,
Inc. (AWM), an unaffiliated wastewater 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 2028 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, have indemnified
Middlesex against any claims that may arise under the Middlesex guaranty to the County.</p>

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. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the liability recognized in Other
Non-Current Liabilities on the balance sheet for the guaranty is approximately $1.5 million.</p>

present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company&#8217;s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount

retired participants.</p>

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

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s regulated revenue from
contracts with customers is derived from tariff-based sales that result from the obligation to provide water and wastewater services
to residential, industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers. The Company&#8217;s residential customers are
billed quarterly while most of the Company&#8217;s industrial, commercial, fire-protection and wholesale customers are billed monthly.
Payments by customers are due between 15 and 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 of service
provided to Tidewater customers and are recognized as service is provided.</p>

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

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Substantially all operating revenues and accounts
receivable are from contracts with customers. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical write-offs
combined with an evaluation of current economic conditions within its service territories.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">As part of its 2014 Federal income tax return,
the Company adopted the final Internal Revenue Service (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. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company agreed to certain modifications of its accounting method for expenditures
that qualify as deductible repairs and the IRS concluded its audit of the Company&#8217;s 2014 federal income tax return. The modifications
also impacted the Company&#8217;s filed 2015, 2016 and 2017 federal income tax returns. The Company paid $0.8 million in income
taxes in connection with the conclusion of the 2014 and 2015 tax years. The IRS is currently examining the 2016 and 2017 tax years
to determine the impact of the modifications on those tax years. The Company reduced its income tax reserve provision to $3.1 million
as of March 31, 2019. Pending completion of the 2016 and 2017 examinations, the final tax liability could be different than the
recorded reserve provision. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company reduced its potential interest expense liability
to $0.3 million as a result of the closing of the 2014 and 2015 tax years and the revised income tax reserve provision.</p><span></span>
