Change of Control Agreements with certain key management employees, including each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation Table contained in the Company&#146;s proxy statement dated as of February&nbsp;12, 2008 (each a &#147;<U>Named
Executive Officer</U>&#148;), so that key management employees will make decisions and take actions that are in the best interest of shareholders and not be unduly influenced by the fear of job loss. The Board of Directors approves all Change of
Control Agreements. The Company maintains both two-year (executed in 2001 and later) Change of Control Agreements and three-year (executed prior to 2001) Change of Control Agreements. All Change of Control Agreements are &#147;double trigger&#148;
agreements, which means that the following two events must occur in order for benefits to be paid: (i)&nbsp;a change of control and (ii)&nbsp;an adverse employment action. Double trigger agreements were chosen to protect the shareholders from
executives choosing to leave the Company as result of a change of control where there is no adverse employment action. Each Change of Control Agreement becomes effective, and the severance benefit becomes potentially payable, exclusively upon the
occurrence of a change of control of the Company. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">Each Change
of Control Agreement also provides for the continuation of all employee benefits for a period of two or three years, based on the term of the agreement, commencing with the month in which the termination occurs. In the event that any payments made
in connection with a change of control would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section&nbsp;4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, the Company will &#147;gross up,&#148; on an after-tax basis, the Named Executive Officers&#146;
compensation for that excise tax. The severance benefit is a lump sum cash payment made from the general funds of the Company. The Company is not required to establish a special or separate fund or other segregation of assets to assure such
payments. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The Proposed Acquisitions will not cause a change of

procedures, business processes, and other operations and requires coordination of administrative staff (e.g., human resources, customer service, regulatory services, information technology, accounting and finance, accounts receivable, and accounts
payable) and development and engineering teams. Integration may be difficult, unpredictable, and subject to delay because of possible cultural conflicts and differing opinions. Additionally, integration could divert management&#146;s attention away
from the Company&#146;s operations, which could harm the Company&#146;s business, financial condition and operating results. If the Company cannot successfully integrate the operations, services, and personnel of Northern Utilities and Granite

long considered Northern Utilities and Granite State as an acquisition opportunity that could further the Company&#146;s strategy. Over the past five years, Robert G. Schoenberger, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company,
periodically contacted the Chief Executive Officer of NiSource to ask whether NiSource would have any interest in selling Northern Utilities and Granite State. Management discussed this potential opportunity with the Board of Directors periodically.
Throughout this time period, the Company consulted RBC Capital Markets Corporation (&#147;<U>RBC&#148;</U>) with respect to financial matters and Dewey&nbsp;&amp; LeBoeuf LLP with respect to legal matters relating to the Proposed Acquisitions. On
September&nbsp;21, 2006, the Company and NiSource entered into a confidentiality agreement pursuant to which NiSource could provide confidential information regarding Northern Utilities and Granite State to the Company in connection with a potential
acquisition. Shortly after preliminary diligence regarding this potential acquisition commenced, NiSource informed the Company that its strategic focus had shifted and it was not prepared to commence negotiations for the sale of Northern Utilities
and Granite State at that time. At that time, the Company indicated that it remained interested should NiSource decide it was ready to sell Northern Utilities and Granite State. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Northern Utilities and, on October&nbsp;5, 2007, the Company and Bay State entered into a confidentiality agreement in connection with the proposed auction of Northern Utilities and received a confidential information memorandum regarding Northern
Utilities. For the next month, the Company and its advisors conducted preliminary diligence on Northern Utilities. During this time, the Company continued consultation with RBC as its financial advisor. The Company also engaged Dewey &amp; LeBoeuf
LLP as its legal advisor for the potential acquisition. On October&nbsp;25, 2007, the Company received an instruction letter from The Blackstone Group inviting preliminary indications of interest for Northern Utilities on or before November&nbsp;14,
2007. Management reported to the Board of Directors of the Company on the process established by Bay State for the auction as well as the results of the preliminary due diligence that had been performed on Northern Utilities. On November&nbsp;14,
2007, the Company submitted its preliminary indication of interest in acquiring Northern Utilities to The Blackstone Group, including a letter from RBC and Royal Bank of Canada that they were highly confident that they would be able to provide the

attractive opportunity for the Company to grow its operations within coastal northern New England. Northern Utilities will bring approximately 52,000 additional natural gas retail distribution customers, which will increase the Company&#146;s
domestic retail customer base to approximately 167,000 customers in the coastal New England region. Given the lower penetration of gas distribution customers among the population in Northern Utilities&#146; service territory, the Company believes
there are significant opportunities for Northern Utilities&#146; to expand its operations, particularly in light of the Company&#146;s customer driven expertise in serving rural and small metropolitan areas such as Northern Utilities&#146; service
territory. Additionally, Northern Utilities will provide further diversification to the Company&#146;s operations with respect to geography (into Maine) and utility business mix (between the Company&#146;s gas and electric divisions).

a comparable company analysis of Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s enterprise value implied by the Purchase Price relative to a group of publicly-traded companies that RBC determined in its judgment to be comparable to Northern
Utilities. In selecting publicly-traded companies, RBC considered various U.S. gas local distribution companies (&#147;<U>LDC</U>&#148;) comparable to Northern Utilities. In this analysis, RBC compared the enterprise value (&#147;<U>EV</U>&#148;) of
Northern Utilities and Granite State implied by the Purchase Price to an EV range determined by applying the comparable companies&#146; estimated calendar year 2007 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(&#147;<U>EBITDA</U>&#148;) minimum, median and maximum multiples to Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s 2007E EBITDA. RBC also compared the EV of Northern Utilities and Granite State implied by the Purchase Price to an EV range
determined by applying the comparable companies&#146; 2007E net income and expected net income growth rate from 2007-2011 (Price-to-Earnings-to-Growth) minimum, median and maximum multiples to Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s 2007E
Price-to-Earnings-to-Growth ratio. Additionally, RBC compared the EV of Northern Utilities and Granite State implied by the Purchase Price to an EV range determined by applying the comparable companies&#146; tangible book value minimum, median and
maximum multiples to Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s projected tangible book value. Projections for Northern Utilities and Granite State were provided by NiSource and adjusted by the Company&#146;s management (as discussed above)

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">selected publicly-announced precedent merger and acquisition transactions in the U.S. gas LDC sector. In selecting precedent transactions, RBC considered
comparable transactions announced since January&nbsp;1, 2004. In this analysis, RBC compared the EV of Northern Utilities and Granite State implied by the Purchase Price to an EV range determined by applying the precedent transactions&#146; last
twelve-months (&#147;<U>LTM</U>&#148;) EBITDA minimum, median and maximum multiples to Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s LTM EBITDA. RBC used an adjusted EBITDA (adjusted to exclude non-cash and one-time charges) in calculating the
LTM EBITDA multiples of the target companies for the last twelve months prior to the announcement of the transaction in order to normalize it relative to the Northern Utilities and Granite State figures. RBC also compared the EV of Northern
Utilities and Granite State implied by the Purchase Price to an EV range determined by applying the precedent transactions&#146; LTM Price-to-Earnings minimum, median and maximum multiples to Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s LTM
earnings. LTM Price-to-Earnings is equivalent to an Equity Value-to-Net Income multiple for private companies such as Northern Utilities and Granite State. Additionally, RBC compared the EV of Northern Utilities and Granite State implied by the
Purchase Price to an EV range determined by applying the precedent transactions&#146; tangible book value minimum, median and maximum multiples to Northern Utilities&#146; and Granite State&#146;s projected tangible book value. Projections for
Northern Utilities and Granite State were provided by NiSource and adjusted by the Company&#146;s management (as discussed above). Financial data regarding the precedent transactions was taken from SEC and other public filings, Wall Street research,
Bloomberg, press releases and other publicly available sources. RBC defined EV as equity value plus total debt, preferred stock and minority interest less cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. </FONT></P> <P

professional judgment in determining that, based on the aggregate of the analyses used and the results they yielded, the Purchase Price was fair, from a financial point of view, to the Company. RBC believed that it was inappropriate to, and
therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the analyses and, accordingly, also made qualitative judgments concerning differences between the characteristics of Northern Utilities and Granite State and the Proposed Acquisitions and
the data selected for use in its analyses, as further discussed below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Rather, the analyses involve complex considerations and judgments concerning financial and operating characteristics and other factors that could affect the Proposed Acquisitions, public trading or other values of the companies, businesses, or
transactions analyzed. The analyses were prepared solely for purposes of RBC providing an opinion as to the fairness of the Purchase Price, from a financial point of view, to the Company and do not purport to be appraisals or necessarily reflect the

business judgment in determining the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analysis and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances. Several analytical methodologies were used by RBC and no one method of analysis
should be regarded as critical to the overall conclusion reached. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. The overall
conclusions of RBC were based on all the analyses and factors presented herein taken as a whole and also on application of RBC&#146;s own experience and judgment. Such conclusions may involve significant elements of subjective judgment and
qualitative analysis. RBC therefore believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all factors and analyses, could create an incomplete or
misleading view of the processes underlying its opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">In

07-102 concerning the 2007/2008 winter cost of gas proceeding for Northern Utilities&#146; New Hampshire division. In that order, the New Hampshire Commission noted that lost and unaccounted for gas (&#147;<U>UAFG</U>&#148;) in the 2007-2008 winter
cost of gas forecast is approximately one percent of firm sales, compared to a reported 7.59 percent UAFG for the 12-month period ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. The New Hampshire Commission recognized that Northern Utilities had previously opened an
internal investigation to determine the actual UAFG for that period, the cause of any misreporting and a solution. The New Hampshire Commission ordered Northern Utilities to file a detailed report by December&nbsp;31, 2007 regarding the results of
Northern Utilities&#146; internal investigation into UAFG as reported in its 2006-2007 winter cost of gas reconciliation filing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

unusually high reported UAFG levels. The apparent cause appeared to be incorrect metering by Spectra Energy Corp. (&#147;<U>Spectra</U>&#148;) at the Maritimes&nbsp;&amp; Northeast (&#147;<U>M&amp;NE</U>&#148;) / Portland Natural Gas Transmission

Northern Utilities sought and obtained from the New Hampshire Commission an extension until February&nbsp;15, 2008 to file the requested report showing accurate volumetric adjustments to correct its UAFG levels and associated cost impacts.

a result of these efforts, Northern Utilities received confirmation from Spectra on January&nbsp;28, 2008, that Granite State was erroneously billed for an additional 758,709 Dth of natural gas between May 2005 and December 2007. As the primary
transportation customer of Granite State at the Newington station, and due to the service arrangements under which Northern Utilities receives service from Granite State, the total amount of the error was passed through to Northern Utilities.
Northern Utilities calculates that it was overcharged by approximately $5.7 million for gas purchases directly related to this meter error based on gas prices in effect at the time of the error. This overcharge in turn was passed on to Northern
Utilities&#146; customers through the normal operation of the gas cost recovery mechanism. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT
FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">Although Northern Utilities anticipates it will have a refund liability for the overcharges, the timing and extent is not clear. The Commission has not yet suggested that Northern Utilities would be liable for refunds
in the absence of its receipt of a recovery from a third party. Under the traditional application of the gas cost recovery rules, Northern Utilities would flow through any refund received from a third party. As of May 2008, Northern Utilities has
recorded approximately $8.7 million reflecting the anticipated liability of the future refund amount based on current market prices with an offsetting receivable by Granite State. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Utilities has agreed to inform the New Hampshire Commission at 120-day intervals until an acceptable resolution is reached. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="2">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

Northern Utilities&#146; operations are subject to seasonal fluctuations in cash flow. During the heating season, which is primarily from November through March, cash receipts from gas sales and transportation services typically exceed cash

Plans</I>. In September 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 158, &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans&#148; (&#147;<U>SFAS No. 158</U>&#148;), to improve
existing reporting for defined benefit postretirement plans by requiring employers to recognize in the statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, among other changes. In the fourth
quarter of 2006, Northern Utilities adopted the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;158 requiring employers to recognize in the statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured as the
difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation. Based on the measurement of the various defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans&#146; assets and benefit obligations at September&nbsp;30, 2006, the
pretax impact of adopting SFAS No.&nbsp;158 decreased &#147;Other Current Assets&#148; by $0.1 million, increased &#147;Regulatory Assets&#148; by $8.2 million, and decreased &#147;Other Current Liabilities&#148; by $0.3 million. &#147;Pensions and
Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions&#148; were increased by $8.4 million. With the adoption of SFAS No.&nbsp;158 Northern Utilities determined that the future recovery of pension and other postretirement plans costs is probable in accordance
with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No.&nbsp;71, &#147;Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation&#148; (&#147;<U>SFAS No.&nbsp;71</U>&#148;). Northern Utilities recorded regulatory assets and

million, and a decrease to &#147;Retained Earnings&#148; of $0.4 million. In addition, 2007 expense for pension and postretirement benefits reflected the updated measurement date valuations. </FONT></P> <P

arrangement. This FSP became effective for Northern Utilities as of January&nbsp;1, 2008. Northern Utilities has not elected to net fair value amounts for its derivative instruments or the fair value amounts recognized for its right to receive cash
collateral or obligation to pay cash collateral arising from those derivative instruments recognized at fair value, which are executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. This is consistent with Northern Utilities current
accounting policy prior to the adoption of this amended standard. Northern Utilities discloses amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral within &#147;Restricted cash&#148; and amounts recognized for the right to return cash

for income taxes. Specifically, this interpretation requires that a tax position meet a &#147;more-likely-than-not recognition threshold&#148; for the benefit of an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and requires
that benefit to be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The determination of whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is based on
whether it is probable of being sustained on audit by the appropriate taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

to be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The determination of whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is based on whether it is
probable of being sustained on audit by the appropriate taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN&nbsp;48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in

No.&nbsp;158 requiring employers to recognize in the statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit

part of Northern Utilities&#146; business and the extent to which management properly and effectively identifies, assesses, monitors and manages each of the various types of risk involved in the business can significantly impact profitability.
Northern Utilities seeks to identify, assess, monitor and manage, in accordance with defined policies and procedures, commodity price risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk. In addition, Northern Utilities is exposed to market risk associated
with the supply of, and demand for, natural gas and the impact of changes in natural gas prices, and can also be negatively affected by sustained downturns or sluggishness in the regional economy. </FONT></P> <P

operations involving natural gas. Northern Utilities utilizes a regulatory approved hedging program designed to fix a portion of its gas supply costs for the coming year of service. In order to fix these costs, Northern Utilities purchases NYMEX
futures that correspond to the associated delivery month. Any gains or losses on the fair value of these derivatives are passed through to the ratepayer directly through a regulatory commission approved recovery mechanism. As a result of the
ratemaking process, Northern Utilities records gains and losses as regulatory liabilities or assets and recognizes such gains or losses in cost of sales when recovered in revenues. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

obligations. Exposure to credit risk is measured by summing a counterparty&#146;s current obligations to Northern Utilities and the marked-to-market value of any forward positions with that entity. Credit exposure is generally mitigated by obtaining
stand-by letters of credit, deposits, guarantees, or other collateral items. In determining exposure, Northern Utilities considers collateral that it holds to reduce individual counterparty credit exposure. </FONT></P> <P

solution. The New Hampshire Commission ordered Northern Utilities to file a detailed report by December&nbsp;31, 2007 regarding the results of its investigation into UAFG as reported in its 2006-2007 winter cost of gas reconciliation filing.

appears to be the single largest contributing cause of its New Hampshire Division&#146;s unusually high reported UAFG levels. The apparent cause appeared to be incorrect metering by Spectra at the M&amp;NE / PNGTS Newington Gate Station caused by an
erroneous meter module change on May&nbsp;25, 2005. Because of the recent discovery of this cause, Northern Utilities sought from the New Hampshire Commission and obtained an extension until February&nbsp;15, 2008 to file the requested report
showing accurate volumetric adjustments to correct Northern Utilities&#146; UAFG levels and associated cost impacts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">On February&nbsp;15, 2008, Northern Utilities filed its report with the New Hampshire Commission. Northern Utilities reported that it was working with
Granite State and Spectra to determine the exact volume of gas that was over-recorded as a result of Spectra erroneously updating its Newington Gate Station meter module in May 2005. As a result of these efforts, Northern Utilities received
confirmation from Spectra on January&nbsp;28, 2008, that Granite State was erroneously billed for an additional 758,709 Dth of natural gas between May 2005 and December 2007. As the primary transportation customer of Granite State at the Newington
Gate Station, and due to the service arrangements under which Northern Utilities receives service from Granite State, the total amount of the error was passed through to Northern Utilities. Northern Utilities calculates that it was overcharged by
approximately $5.7 million for gas purchases directly related to this meter error based on gas prices in effect at the time of the error. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

has been informed by Spectra that resolution of the issue and any cash-out or refund that needs to be made to Granite State and/or Northern Utilities requires the involvement of PNGTS. PNGTS has agreed to repay the lost gas to Granite State over an
18-month period, but final documents memorializing the payback have not been completed. Northern Utilities has agreed to inform the New Hampshire Commission at 120-day intervals until an acceptable resolution is reached. </FONT></P> <P

with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement requirements related to accounting for income taxes. Specifically, this interpretation requires that a tax position meet a &#147;more-likely-than-not recognition threshold&#148; for the benefit
of an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and requires that benefit to be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The determination of
whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is based on whether it is probable of being sustained on audit by the appropriate taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN
48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. </FONT></P> <P

07-102 concerning the 2007/2008 winter cost of gas proceeding for Northern Utilities&#146; New Hampshire division. In that order, the New Hampshire Commission noted that lost and UAFG in the 2007-2008 winter cost of gas forecast is approximately 1%
of firm sales, compared to a reported 7.59% UAFG for the 12-month period ending April 2007. The New Hampshire Commission recognized that Northern Utilities had previously opened an internal investigation to determine the actual UAFG for that period,
the cause of any misreporting, and a solution. The New Hampshire Commission ordered Northern Utilities to file a detailed report by December&nbsp;31, 2007 regarding the results of its investigation into UAFG as reported in its 2006-2007 winter cost
of gas reconciliation filing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">In early December 2007,
Northern Utilities identified what appears to be the single largest contributing cause of its New Hampshire Division&#146;s unusually high reported UAFG levels. The apparent cause appeared to be incorrect metering by Spectra at the M&amp;NE / PNGTS
Newington Gate Station caused by an erroneous meter module change on May&nbsp;25, 2005. Because of the recent discovery of this cause, Northern Utilities sought from the New Hampshire Commission and obtained an extension until February&nbsp;15, 2008
to file the requested report showing accurate volumetric adjustments to correct Northern Utilities&#146; UAFG levels and associated cost impacts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

the impact of the acquisition of Northern Utilities and Granite State by Unitil on the companies&#146; respective historical financial position and results of operations under the purchase method of accounting. Under this method of accounting, the
assets and liabilities of Northern Utilities and Granite State will be recorded, as of the completion of the acquisition, at their fair values and added to those of Unitil. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets as of December&nbsp;31, 2007

a master netting arrangement. This FSP became effective for Northern Utilities as of January&nbsp;1, 2008. Northern Utilities has not elected to net fair value amounts for its derivative instruments or the fair value amounts recognized for its right
to receive cash collateral or obligation to pay cash collateral arising from those derivative instruments recognized at fair value, which are executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement. This is consistent with Northern

requirements related to accounting for income taxes. Specifically, this interpretation requires that a tax position meet a &#147;more-likely-than-not recognition threshold&#148; for the benefit of an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the
financial statements and requires that benefit to be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The determination of whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold is based on whether it is probable of being sustained on audit by the appropriate taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN&nbsp;48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The Company has accounted for retirement obligations on its assets using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;143, &#147;Accounting for
Asset Retirement Obligations&#148; (SFAS No.&nbsp;143). In the fourth quarter 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;47, &#147;Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations&#148; (FIN 47), which broadened
the scope of SFAS No.&nbsp;143 to include contingent asset retirement obligations and also provided additional guidance for the measurement of the asset retirement obligations. The impact of adopting FIN 47 was an increase in Gas Utility Plant in
Service of $0.9 million, an increase in Asset Retirement Obligation liabilities of $1.4 million, decrease in Regulatory Liabilities of $0.5 million, increase in Regulatory Assets of $0.1 million and an increase to Accumulated Depreciation of $0.1
million. This accounting standard and the related interpretation require entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is initially recorded, the entity
capitalizes the cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. The Company defers the difference
between the amount recognized for depreciation and accretion and the amount collected in rates, as required pursuant to SFAS No.&nbsp;71, for those amounts it has collected in rates or expects to collect in future rates. The asset retirement
obligations liability totaled $1.2 million and $1.3 million at December&nbsp;31, 2007 and December&nbsp;31, 2006, respectively. The changes in the asset retirement obligation for the years 2007 and 2006 are presented in the table below (in whole $):

Taxes</I></B>. In June&nbsp;2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FIN 48 to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement requirements related to accounting for income
taxes. Specifically, this interpretation requires that a tax position meet a &#147;more-likely-than-not recognition threshold&#148; for the benefit of an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and requires that benefit
to be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The determination of whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is based on whether it is
probable of being sustained on audit by the appropriate taxing authorities, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. On January&nbsp;1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company was not
required to record any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company has no uncertain tax position as of December&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

Postretirement Plans (SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;158)</I></B>.&nbsp;In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;158 to improve existing reporting for defined benefit postretirement plans by requiring employers to recognize in the statement of
financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, among other changes. In the fourth quarter of 2006, Granite adopted the provisions of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;158 requiring employers to recognize in the
statement of financial position the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured as the difference between the fair value of the plan assets and the benefit obligation. Based on the measurement of the various
defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans&#146; assets and benefit obligations at September&nbsp;30, 2006, the pretax impact of adopting SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;158 increased &#147;Prepayments&#148; by $2,437, increased &#147;Regulatory
Assets&#148; by $628,963, and decreased &#147;Other Current Liabilities&#148; by $19,057. &#147;Pension and Postretirement Benefits&#148; were increased by $650,457. With the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;158 Granite determined that the future

diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement requirements related to accounting for income taxes. Specifically, this interpretation requires that a tax position meet a &#147;more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold&#148; for the benefit of an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and requires that benefit to be measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement. When determining whether a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is to be based on whether it is probable of being sustained on audit by the appropriate taxing authorities, based solely on the
technical merits of the position. Additionally, FIN&nbsp;48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. </FONT></P> <P

liability is accreted, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Granite defers the difference between the amount recognized for depreciation and accretion and the amount collected in rates as required

DG 07-102 concerning the 2007/2008 winter cost of gas proceeding for Northern Utilities&#146; New Hampshire division. In that order, the New Hampshire Commission noted that lost and UAFG in the 2007-2008 winter cost of gas forecast is approximately
1% of firm sales, compared to a reported 7.59% UAFG for the 12-month period ending April 2007. The New Hampshire Commission recognized that Northern Utilities had previously opened an internal investigation to determine the actual UAFG for that
period, the cause of any misreporting, and a solution. The New Hampshire Commission ordered Northern Utilities to file a detailed report by December 31, 2007 regarding the results of its investigation into UAFG as reported in its 2006-2007 winter
cost of gas reconciliation filing. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">In early December, 2007
Northern Utilities identified what appears to be the single largest contributing cause of its New Hampshire Division&#146;s unusually high reported UAFG levels. The apparent cause appeared to be incorrect metering by Spectra at the M&amp;NE / PNGTS
Newington Gate Station caused by an erroneous meter module change on May 25, 2005. Because of the recent discovery of this cause, Northern Utilities sought from the New Hampshire Commission and obtained an extension until February 15, 2008 to file
the requested report showing accurate volumetric adjustments to correct Northern Utilities&#146; UAFG levels and associated cost impacts. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:7%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">On February 15, 2008, Northern Utilities filed its report with the New Hampshire Commission. Northern Utilities reported that it was working with Granite
State and Spectra to determine the exact volume of gas that was over-recorded as a result of Spectra erroneously updating its Newington Gate Station meter module in May 2005. As a result of these efforts, Northern Utilities received confirmation
from Spectra on January 28, 2008, that Granite State was erroneously billed for an additional 758,709 Dth of natural gas between May 2005 and December 2007. As the primary transportation customer of Granite State at the Newington Gate Station, and
due to the service arrangements under which Northern Utilities receives service from Granite State, the total amount of the error was passed through to Northern Utilities. Northern Utilities calculates that it was overcharged by approximately $5.7
million for gas purchases directly related to this meter error based on gas prices in effect at the time of the error. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

has been informed by Spectra that resolution of the issue and any cash-out or refund that needs to be made to Granite State and/or Northern Utilities requires the involvement of PNGTS. PNGTS has agreed to repay the lost gas to Granite State over an
18-month period, but final documents memorializing the payback have not been completed. Northern Utilities has agreed to inform the New Hampshire Commission at 120-day intervals until an acceptable resolution is reached. </FONT></P> <P

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s internal
control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

increased &#147;Regulatory Assets&#148; by $628,963, and decreased &#147;Other Current Liabilities&#148; by $19,057. &#147;Pension and Postretirement Benefits&#148; were increased by $650,457. With the adoption of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;158 Granite

retirement obligations on its assets in accordance with SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143, &#147;Accounting for Asset Retirements Obligations.&#148; In the fourth quarter 2005, Granite adopted the provisions of FIN&nbsp;47, &#147;Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations,&#148; which broadened the scope of SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;143 to include contingent asset retirement obligations and it also provided additional guidance for the measurement of the asset retirement liabilities. The initial
impact of adopting FIN 47 was $113,183. This accounting standard and the related interpretation requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is
initially recorded, the entity capitalizes the cost, thereby increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset.
Granite defers the difference between the amount recognized for depreciation and accretion and the amount collected in rates as required pursuant to SFAS&nbsp;No.&nbsp;71 for those amounts it has collected in rates or expects to collect in future
rates. Currently the deferred amount for this difference is zero. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
