(USEPA) Issues Final Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Regulations</b> - In April 2024, the USEPA finalized drinking water regulations

Jersey Department of Environmental Protection MCLs adhered to by the Company. Under the new USEPA regulations effective April 2024, water
systems must monitor for Regulated PFAS and have three years to complete initial monitoring (by April 2027), followed by ongoing compliance
monitoring. Water systems must also provide the public with information on the levels of Regulated PFAS in their drinking water beginning
in 2027. Water systems have five years (by April 2029) to implement solutions that reduce Regulated PFAS if monitoring shows that drinking
water levels exceed these MCLs.</p>

the Company&#8217;s water supply for its&#160;Park Avenue&#160;Wellfield Treatment Plant (Park Avenue Plant). The rate case settlement
provides that the net proceeds from the 3M Settlement Agreement were to be used to mitigate the increase in customer rates and reimburse
Middlesex for previously incurred costs for the construction of the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, including depreciation
and carrying costs.

Inc. (Twin Lakes)</b></span><b> &#8211;</b> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential
customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania
Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal
proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver
(the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued
an Order affirming the ALJ&#8217;s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for
Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $<ix:nonFraction contextRef="c56" decimals="-5" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" name="us-gaap:EscrowDeposit" scale="6" unitRef="usd" id="ixv-5957">1.7</ix:nonFraction> million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed
a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the
escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In
addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court&#8217;s review of the merits
arguments contained in Twin Lakes&#8217; PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes&#8217; emergency petition, pending
its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC&#8217;s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September
2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the
Commonwealth Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address
Twin Lakes&#8217; claims that because the $<ix:nonFraction contextRef="c57" decimals="-5" format="ixt:num-dot-decimal" name="us-gaap:EscrowDeposit" scale="6" unitRef="usd" id="ixv-5958">1.7</ix:nonFraction> million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex&#8217;s constitutional
rights, Middlesex&#8217;s refusal to submit this escrow payment would jeopardize the relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the
appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a decision denying Twin Lakes&#8217; Appeal
Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania Courts&#8217; failure to address Twin Lakes&#8217;
claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (US
District Court) to address the issue of whether the PAPUC&#8217;s Order violated Middlesex&#8217;s rights under the United States Constitution.
On January 18, 2024, the US District Court issued a decision dismissing Middlesex&#8217;s complaint without addressing Middlesex&#8217;s
claims on the merits. On January 31, 2024, Middlesex filed a Notice of Appeal of the US District Court&#8217;s decision with the United
States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Third Circuit Court). The Third Circuit Court has issued a briefing schedule that will
extend into July 2024 and it is expected that oral arguments will be scheduled before a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court following
the completion of the briefing schedule.</span></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p></ix:continuation><div>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 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: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s regulated revenue from contracts
with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial,
fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection
and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized
as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of 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 the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings
in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt">&#160;</p></ix:nonNumeric><div>

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 June 2032 and contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects
to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions.</p>

- The approval by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) in February 2024 of the negotiated settlement of the Middlesex 2023
base rate case is expected to increase annual operating revenues by $15.4 million effective March 1, 2024. The approved tariff rates were
designed to recover increased operating costs as well as a return on invested capital of $563.1 million, based on an authorized return
on common equity of 9.6%. Middlesex has made capital infrastructure investments to ensure prudent upgrade and replacement of its utility
assets to support continued regulatory compliance, resilience and overall quality of service. In August 2023, Middlesex and 3M Company
(3M) executed a settlement agreement (Settlement Agreement) to resolve a lawsuit Middlesex previously initiated claiming 3M introduced
Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), which includes Perfluorooctanoic Acid,&#160;into the Company&#8217;s water supply for its&#160;Park
Avenue&#160;Wellfield Treatment Plant (Park Avenue Plant). The rate case settlement provides that the net proceeds from the 3M Settlement
Agreement were to be used to mitigate the increase in customer rates and reimburse Middlesex for previously incurred costs for the construction
of the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, including depreciation and carrying costs. This resulted in the reclassification of
$48.3 million from Regulatory Liabilities to Contributions in Aid of Construction on the March 31, 2024 balance sheet. The Company also
recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the recovery of $0.9 million for depreciation and $3.2 million for carrying costs associated
with the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, as well as the recovery of $1.4 million of previously incurred operating treatment
costs while the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades were in process.</p><div>

rate, if approved, would apply to General Service customers and would be based on meter size. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU
will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of the request.</p><div>

Protection MCLs adhered to by the Company. Under the new USEPA regulations, effective April 2024, water systems must monitor for Regulated
PFAS and have three years to complete initial monitoring (by April 2027), followed by ongoing compliance monitoring. Water systems must
also provide the public with information on the levels of Regulated PFAS in their drinking water beginning in 2027. Water systems have
five years (by April 2029) to implement solutions that reduce Regulated PFAS if monitoring shows that drinking water levels exceed these
MCLs.</p><div>

of our First Mortgage Bonds, which have final maturity dates ranging from 2024 to 2059. Over the next twelve months, approximately $7.8

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 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 customers&#8217; rates.</p><div>

and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission&#8217;s
rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange
Act, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company&#8217;s disclosure controls and procedures was conducted
by the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer for the quarter ended March 31,
2024. Based upon that evaluation, the Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer and the Company&#8217;s Chief Financial Officer concluded
that no changes in internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting and that our disclosure controls and procedures
were not effective as of March 31, 2024 due to the material weakness described below. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination
of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement
of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.</p><div>

</div><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">In 2023, the Company&#8217;s independent registered
public accounting firm, Baker Tilly US, LLP (Baker Tilly), conducted a routine internal quality review of its integrated audit of the
Company&#8217;s 2022 consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. As a result
of this review, Baker Tilly re-examined the Company&#8217;s information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the areas of user access
and change management over certain information technology (IT) systems that support the Company&#8217;s financial reporting processes.
Certain of those controls were found to be deficient because of a lack of sufficient IT control processes designed to prevent or detect
unauthorized changes in applications and data in selected IT environments. These ineffective controls create a possibility that material
misstatements in financial reporting processes and financial statement accounts in our consolidated financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis and, therefore, based on the assessment, management has concluded that they represent a material weakness
in our internal control over financial reporting and that the Company&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting was not effective
as of March 31, 2024.</p><div>

made within our information technology (IT) systems. These control solutions are supported by a timely review process that focuses on
the proper authorization and approval of IT system changes. We expect to implement additional internal controls during the second quarter
of 2024 to further remediate the material weakness.</p><div>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><b>Middlesex </b>&#8211; The approval by the New
Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) in February 2024 of the negotiated settlement of the Middlesex 2023 base rate case is expected
to increase annual operating revenues by $15.4 million, effective March 1, 2024. The approved tariff rates were designed to recover increased
operating costs as well as a return on invested capital of $563.1 million, based on an authorized return on common equity of 9.6%. Middlesex
has made capital infrastructure investments to ensure prudent upgrade and replacement of its utility assets to support continued regulatory
compliance, resilience and overall quality of service. In August 2023, Middlesex and 3M Company (3M) executed a settlement agreement (Settlement
Agreement) to resolve a lawsuit Middlesex previously initiated claiming 3M introduced PFAS, which includes Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA),&#160;into
the Company&#8217;s water supply for its&#160;Park Avenue&#160;Wellfield Treatment Plant (Park Avenue Plant). The rate case settlement
provides that the net proceeds from the 3M Settlement Agreement were to be used to mitigate the increase in customer rates and reimburse
Middlesex for previously incurred costs for the construction of the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, including depreciation
and carrying costs. This resulted in the reclassification of $48.3 million from Regulatory Liabilities to Contributions in Aid of Construction
on the March 31, 2024 balance sheet. The Company also recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the recovery of $0.9 million for
depreciation and $3.2 million for carrying costs associated with the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, as well as the recovery
of $1.4 million of previously incurred operating treatment costs while the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades were in process.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#160;</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Middlesex Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR)
Plan, which was approved by the NJBPU in January 2024, has commenced and Middlesex expects to submit a customer surcharge filing with
the NJBPU in July 2024 to recover costs incurred replacing Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines. The surcharge is for costs to
be incurred through June 2024 and is required to be reset every six months over the life of the LSLR Plan. The current estimates for replacement
of Middlesex and Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines under the LSLR Plan are approximately $46 million to $77 million over a nine-year
period. Cost recovery for replacing Company-owned lead service lines are recoverable through traditional base rate case filings.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">As allowed under its NJBPU approved Distribution
System Improvement Charge (DSIC) Foundation Filing, in April 2024, Middlesex filed a petition with the NJBPU, seeking to establish a DSIC
tariff rate that would result in $0.5 million of annual revenues. The tariff rate, if approved, would apply to General Service customers
and would be based on meter size. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of
the request.</p>

Inc. (Twin Lakes)</b></span><b> &#8211;</b> <span style="font-size: 10pt">Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential
customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania
Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal
proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver
(the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued
an Order affirming the ALJ&#8217;s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for
Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $1.7 million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed
a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the
escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In
addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court&#8217;s review of the merits
arguments contained in Twin Lakes&#8217; PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes&#8217; emergency petition, pending
its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC&#8217;s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September
2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the
Commonwealth Court&#8217;s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address
Twin Lakes&#8217; claims that because the $1.7 million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex&#8217;s constitutional
rights, Middlesex&#8217;s refusal to submit this escrow payment would jeopardize the relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the
appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a decision denying Twin Lakes&#8217; Appeal
Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania Courts&#8217; failure to address Twin Lakes&#8217;
claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (US
District Court) to address the issue of whether the PAPUC&#8217;s Order violated Middlesex&#8217;s rights under the United States Constitution.
On January 18, 2024, the US District Court issued a decision dismissing Middlesex&#8217;s complaint without addressing Middlesex&#8217;s
claims on the merits. On January 31, 2024, Middlesex filed a Notice of Appeal of the US District Court&#8217;s decision with the United
States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Third Circuit Court). The Third Circuit Court has issued a briefing schedule that will
extend into July 2024 and it is expected that oral arguments will be scheduled before a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court following
the completion of the briefing schedule.</span></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The financial results, total assets and financial

Delaware SRF loans totaling $6.6 million. These loans are for the construction, relocation, improvement, and/or interconnection of transmission
mains and construction of a water treatment facility. Tidewater expects to close on these loans in the 2<sup>nd</sup> quarter of 2024.
Each project has its own construction timetable with the last spending set to occur in 2026.</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Separately, Tidewater has three active construction
projects funded by prior year Delaware SRF loans totaling $13.3 million with remaining availability of funds for borrowing. These loans
are for the construction of a one million gallon elevated storage tank and construction, relocation, improvement, and/or interconnection
of transmission mains. Tidewater has drawn a total of $9.7 million through March 31, 2024 and expects that the requisitions will continue
through mid-2025.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"><i>&#160;</i></p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><b>Fair Value of

in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts
reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, 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
Bonds (FMBs) and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the
fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level 1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable
and the FMBs in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the FMBs were as follows:

Customer advances for construction have carrying amounts of $21.1 million and $21.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Their relative fair values cannot be accurately estimated since future refund payments depend on several variables, including new customer

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 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 and Delaware. 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 and Delaware
with respect to utility services within these states. The other segment is primarily comprised of non-regulated contract services for
the operation and maintenance of municipal and private water and wastewater systems in New Jersey and Delaware.&#160;Inter-segment transactions
relating to operational costs are treated as pass-through expenses. Finance charges on inter-segment loan activities are based on interest
rates that are below what would normally be charged by a third-party lender.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"><b>&#160;</b></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 90%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">

&#8211;</b> <span style="font-size: 10pt">The Company expects to spend approximately $78 million for its construction program in 2024.
The Company has entered into several construction contracts that, in the aggregate, obligate expenditure of an estimated $14 million in
the future. The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent on the need for upgrade or replacement of existing infrastructure,
customer growth, residential new home construction and sales, project scheduling, supply chain issues and continued refinement of project
scope and costs. With continued upward pressure on mortgage interest rates, as well as other financial market uncertainties, there is
no assurance that projected customer growth and residential new home construction and sales will occur.</span></p>

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

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

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s regulated revenue from contracts
with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial,
fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection
and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized
as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of 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 the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings
in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer.</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt">&#160;</p><p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 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. Fees 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 June 2032 and 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: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">Substantially all of the amounts included in operating
revenues and accounts receivable are from contracts with customers. The Company records its allowance for credit losses 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: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">&#160;</p>

<p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">The Company&#8217;s contracts do not contain any
significant financing components.</p>

(USEPA) Issues Final Perfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) Regulations&lt;/b&gt; - In April 2024, the USEPA finalized drinking water regulations
for PFAS, establishing maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for three PFAS compounds (Regulated PFAS) that are lower than the current New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection MCLs adhered to by the Company. Under the new USEPA regulations effective April 2024, water
systems must monitor for Regulated PFAS and have three years to complete initial monitoring (by April 2027), followed by ongoing compliance
monitoring. Water systems must also provide the public with information on the levels of Regulated PFAS in their drinking water beginning
in 2027. Water systems have five years (by April 2029) to implement solutions that reduce Regulated PFAS if monitoring shows that drinking
water levels exceed these MCLs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Beginning in April 2029, water systems that have
Regulated PFAS in drinking water which exceeds one or more of these MCLs must take action to reduce levels of these PFAS compounds in
their drinking water and must provide notification to the public of the violation.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0 0pt 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; "&gt;In anticipation of these
new USEPA standards, in 2023, the Company began implementing its strategy to meet these lower MCLs for Regulated PFAS and is currently
performing preliminary engineering studies to ensure that effective PFAS treatment approaches are implemented.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Middlesex &lt;/b&gt;&#x2013; The approval by the New
Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) in February 2024 of the negotiated settlement of the Middlesex 2023 base rate case is expected
to increase annual operating revenues by $15.4 million, effective March 1, 2024. The approved tariff rates were designed to recover increased
operating costs as well as a return on invested capital of $563.1 million, based on an authorized return on common equity of 9.6%. Middlesex
has made capital infrastructure investments to ensure prudent upgrade and replacement of its utility assets to support continued regulatory
compliance, resilience and overall quality of service. In August 2023, Middlesex and 3M Company (3M) executed a settlement agreement (Settlement
Agreement) to resolve a lawsuit Middlesex previously initiated claiming 3M introduced PFAS, which includes Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA),&#160;into
the Company&#x2019;s water supply for its&#160;Park Avenue&#160;Wellfield Treatment Plant (Park Avenue Plant). The rate case settlement
provides that the net proceeds from the 3M Settlement Agreement were to be used to mitigate the increase in customer rates and reimburse
Middlesex for previously incurred costs for the construction of the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, including depreciation
and carrying costs. This resulted in the reclassification of $48.3 million from Regulatory Liabilities to Contributions in Aid of Construction
on the March 31, 2024 balance sheet. The Company also recognized for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 the recovery of $0.9 million for
depreciation and $3.2 million for carrying costs associated with the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades, as well as the recovery
of $1.4 million of previously incurred operating treatment costs while the Park Avenue Plant PFAS treatment upgrades were in process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Middlesex Lead Service Line Replacement (LSLR)
Plan, which was approved by the NJBPU in January 2024, has commenced and Middlesex expects to submit a customer surcharge filing with
the NJBPU in July 2024 to recover costs incurred replacing Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines. The surcharge is for costs to
be incurred through June 2024 and is required to be reset every six months over the life of the LSLR Plan. The current estimates for replacement
of Middlesex and Middlesex customer-owned lead service lines under the LSLR Plan are approximately $46 million to $77 million over a nine-year
period. Cost recovery for replacing Company-owned lead service lines are recoverable through traditional base rate case filings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;As allowed under its NJBPU approved Distribution
System Improvement Charge (DSIC) Foundation Filing, in April 2024, Middlesex filed a petition with the NJBPU, seeking to establish a DSIC
tariff rate that would result in $0.5 million of annual revenues. The tariff rate, if approved, would apply to General Service customers
and would be based on meter size. We cannot predict when and whether the NJBPU will ultimately approve, deny, or reduce the amount of
the request.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Tidewater - &lt;/b&gt;In December 2023, the Delaware
Public Service Commission (DEPSC) approved Tidewater&#x2019;s application to implement a new DSIC. Effective January 1, 2024, Tidewater
implemented a DSIC rate of 3.71%, which is expected to generate revenue of approximately $1.3 million annually. A Delaware DISC is subject
to a semi-annual reset with an overall maximum rate of 7.5%.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Twin Lakes Utilities,
Inc. (Twin Lakes)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt; &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;Twin Lakes provides water services to approximately 115 residential
customers in Shohola, Pennsylvania. Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code, Twin Lakes filed a petition requesting the Pennsylvania
Public Utilities Commission (PAPUC) to order the acquisition of Twin Lakes by a capable public utility. The PAPUC assigned an Administrative
Law Judge (ALJ) to adjudicate the matter and submit a recommended decision (Recommended Decision) to the PAPUC. As part of this legal
proceeding the PAPUC also issued an Order in January 2021 appointing a large Pennsylvania based investor-owned water utility as the receiver
(the Receiver Utility) of the Twin Lakes system until the petition is fully adjudicated by the PAPUC. In November 2021, the PAPUC issued
an Order affirming the ALJ&#x2019;s Recommended Decision, ordering the Receiver Utility to acquire the Twin Lakes water system and for
Middlesex, the parent company of Twin Lakes, to submit $1.7 million into an escrow account within 30 days. Twin Lakes immediately filed
a Petition For Review (PFR) with the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth Court) seeking reversal and vacation of the
escrow requirement on the grounds that it violates the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code as well as the United States Constitution. In
addition, Twin Lakes filed an emergency petition for stay of the PAPUC Order pending the Commonwealth Court&#x2019;s review of the merits
arguments contained in Twin Lakes&#x2019; PFR. In December 2021, the Commonwealth Court granted Twin Lakes&#x2019; emergency petition, pending
its review. In August 2022, the Commonwealth Court issued an opinion upholding PAPUC&#x2019;s November 2021 Order in its entirety. In September
2022, Twin Lakes filed a Petition For Allowance of Appeal (Appeal Petition) to the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania seeking reversal of the
Commonwealth Court&#x2019;s decision to uphold the escrow requirement on the grounds that the Commonwealth Court erred in failing to address
Twin Lakes&#x2019; claims that because the $1.7 million escrow requirement placed on Middlesex violated Middlesex&#x2019;s constitutional
rights, Middlesex&#x2019;s refusal to submit this escrow payment would jeopardize the relief Twin Lakes was otherwise entitled to in the
appointment of the Receiver Utility. In March 2023, the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania issued a decision denying Twin Lakes&#x2019; Appeal
Petition without addressing this claim on the merits. As a result of the Pennsylvania Courts&#x2019; failure to address Twin Lakes&#x2019;
claim, Middlesex has subsequently filed a Complaint with the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania (US
District Court) to address the issue of whether the PAPUC&#x2019;s Order violated Middlesex&#x2019;s rights under the United States Constitution.
On January 18, 2024, the US District Court issued a decision dismissing Middlesex&#x2019;s complaint without addressing Middlesex&#x2019;s
claims on the merits. On January 31, 2024, Middlesex filed a Notice of Appeal of the US District Court&#x2019;s decision with the United
States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Third Circuit Court). The Third Circuit Court has issued a briefing schedule that will
extend into July 2024 and it is expected that oral arguments will be scheduled before a three-judge panel of the Third Circuit Court following
the completion of the briefing schedule.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The financial results, total assets and financial
obligations of Twin Lakes are not material to Middlesex.&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:PublicUtilitiesDisclosureTextBlock>

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Middlesex has received approval from the NJBPU
to issue and sell up to 1.0 million shares of its common stock, without par value, through December 31, 2025. Sales of additional shares
of common stock are part of the Company&#x2019;s comprehensive financing plan to fund its multi-year utility plant infrastructure investment
program. As described below in &#x201c;Long-term Debt&#x201d;, the NJBPU also approved the debt funding component of the financing plan.&lt;/p&gt;

approval, the Company periodically issues long-term debt to fund its investments in utility plant. To the extent possible and fiscally
prudent, 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 typically below rates available in the broader financial markets. A portion of
the borrowings under the New Jersey SRF is interest-free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Middlesex has received approval from the NJBPU
to borrow up to $300.0 million from the New Jersey SRF Program, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, private placement and other
financial institutions as needed through December 31, 2025. The Company expects to issue debt securities in a series of one or more transaction
offerings over a multi-year period to help fund Middlesex&#x2019;s multi-year capital construction program.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;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. 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.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Under the Delaware SRF program, borrowers 1) enter
into a long-term note agreement for a term not to exceed twenty years, 2) submit requisitions for cost reimbursements during the construction
period for up to two years after the agreement is executed and 3) as the proceeds are received from the requisitions, borrowers record
a corresponding debt obligation amount.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;In April 2024, the DEPSC approved four Tidewater
Delaware SRF loans totaling $6.6 million. These loans are for the construction, relocation, improvement, and/or interconnection of transmission
mains and construction of a water treatment facility. Tidewater expects to close on these loans in the 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; quarter of 2024.
Each project has its own construction timetable with the last spending set to occur in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Separately, Tidewater has three active construction
projects funded by prior year Delaware SRF loans totaling $13.3 million with remaining availability of funds for borrowing. These loans
are for the construction of a one million gallon elevated storage tank and construction, relocation, improvement, and/or interconnection
of transmission mains. Tidewater has drawn a total of $9.7 million through March 31, 2024 and expects that the requisitions will continue
through mid-2025.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&#160;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Fair Value of
Financial Instruments &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company
in estimating its fair value disclosure for financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts
reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, 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
Bonds (FMBs) and SRF Bonds (collectively, the Bonds) issued by Middlesex is based on quoted market prices for similar issues. Under the
fair value hierarchy, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents is classified as a Level 1 measurement and the fair value of notes payable
and the FMBs in the table below are classified as Level 2 measurements. The carrying amount and fair value of the FMBs were as follows:

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;It was not practicable to estimate the fair value
on our outstanding long-term debt for which there is no quoted market price and there is not an active trading market. For details, including
carrying value, interest rates and due dates on these series of long-term debt, please refer to those series noted as &#x201c;Amortizing
Secured Notes&#x201d; and &#x201c;State Revolving Trust Notes&#x201d; on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Capital Stock and Long-Term
Debt. The carrying amount of these instruments was $231.0 million and $231.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Customer advances for construction have carrying amounts of $21.1 million and $21.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Their relative fair values cannot be accurately estimated since future refund payments depend on several variables, including new customer
connections, customer consumption levels and future rate increases.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;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 and Delaware. 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 and Delaware
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.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&#160;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 90%; font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The interest rates are set for borrowings under
the Bank of America and PNC Bank lines of credit using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and then adding a specific financial

internal cost of funds index that is similar to the SOFR and adding a credit spread. There is no requirement for a compensating balance
under any of the established lines of credit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The weighted average interest rate on the outstanding

&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Generally, a lease agreement
exists if the Company determines that the arrangement gives the Company control over the use of an identified asset and obtains substantially
all of the benefits from the identified asset.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company has entered into an operating lease
of office space for administrative purposes, expiring in 2030. The Company has not entered into any finance leases. The exercise of a
lease renewal option for the Company&#x2019;s administrative offices is solely at the discretion of the Company.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The right-of-use (ROU) asset recorded represents
the Company&#x2019;s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liability represents the Company&#x2019;s obligation
to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present
value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company&#x2019;s operating lease does not provide an implicit discount rate and as such
the Company used an estimated incremental borrowing rate (4.03%) based on the information available at the commencement date in determining
the present value of lease payments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Given the impacts of accounting for regulated
operations, and the resulting recognition of expense at the amounts recovered in customer rates, expenditures for operating leases are
consistent with lease expense and were $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;The Company expects to spend approximately $78 million for its construction program in 2024.
The Company has entered into several construction contracts that, in the aggregate, obligate expenditure of an estimated $14 million in
the future. The actual amount and timing of capital expenditures is dependent on the need for upgrade or replacement of existing infrastructure,
customer growth, residential new home construction and sales, project scheduling, supply chain issues and continued refinement of project
scope and costs. With continued upward pressure on mortgage interest rates, as well as other financial market uncertainties, there is
no assurance that projected customer growth and residential new home construction and sales will occur.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;In November 2021, the Company was served with two PFOA-related class action lawsuits seeking restitution
for medical, water replacement and other related costs and economic damages. Middlesex and 3M agreed to enter into a joint mediation on
these lawsuits and their ultimate resolution is not known at this time. For further information on the 3M Settlement Agreement, see Note
2, &lt;i&gt;Rate and Regulatory Matters, Middlesex&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Contingencies &#x2013;&lt;/b&gt; Based on our operations
in the heavily-regulated water and wastewater industries, the Company is routinely involved in disputes, claims, lawsuits and other regulatory
and legal matters, including responsibility for fines and penalties relative to regulatory compliance. At this time, Management does not
believe the final resolution of any such matters, whether asserted or unasserted, will have a material adverse effect on the Company&#x2019;s
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.&#160;In addition, the Company maintains business insurance coverage that may
mitigate the effect of any current or future loss contingencies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Change in

a change in control of the Company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</us-gaap:CommitmentsAndContingenciesDisclosureTextBlock>

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&#x2019;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.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s regulated revenue from contracts
with customers results from tariff-based sales from the provision of water and wastewater services to residential, industrial, commercial,
fire-protection and wholesale customers. Residential customers are billed quarterly while most industrial, commercial, fire-protection
and wholesale customers are billed monthly. Payments by customers are due between 15 and 30 days after the invoice date. Revenue is recognized
as the water and wastewater services are delivered to customers as well as from accrual of 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 the relevant service territories. Unearned Revenues and Advance Service Fees include fixed service charge billings
in advance to Tidewater customers recognized as service is provided to the customer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 146.25pt"&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;Non-regulated service contract revenues consist
of base service fees, as well as fees for additional billable services provided to customers. Fees 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 June 2032 and contain remaining performance obligations for which the Company expects
to recognize revenue in the future. These contracts also contain termination provisions.&lt;/p&gt;

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

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

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s contracts do not contain any
significant financing components.&lt;/p&gt;

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

&lt;p style="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0"&gt;The Company&#x2019;s operating revenues are comprised of the following:&lt;/p&gt;
