<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Artesian Resources Corporation, or Artesian Resources, operates as a holding company, whose income is derived from the earnings of our five wholly owned subsidiaries and our one-third interest in AquaStructure Delaware, L.L.C., a limited liability corporation whose primary activity is marketing wastewater services. The terms &#147;we&#148;, &#147;our&#148; and the &#147;Company&#148; as used herein refer to Artesian Resources and its subsidiaries.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Artesian Water Company, Inc., or Artesian Water, our principal subsidiary, is the oldest and largest public water utility in the State of Delaware and has been providing water service within the state since 1905. Artesian Water distributes and sells water to residential, commercial, industrial, governmental, municipal and utility customers throughout Delaware. In addition, Artesian Water provides services to other water utilities, including operations and billing functions, and has contract operation agreements with seventeen private and municipal water providers.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our other water utility subsidiary, Artesian Water Pennsylvania, Inc., or Artesian Water Pennsylvania, began operations in 2002, and is providing water service to a residential community, consisting of 39 customers, in Chester County. On February 4, 2005, the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission approved our application to increase our service area to encompass four specific developments that are expected to add 350 customers over 10 years.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>We maintain an equity compensation plan that provides for grants of stock options and restricted stock awards and other forms of stock compensation to our directors, officers and key employees. Prior to May&nbsp;25, 2005, we maintained three stock compensation plans. No further equity compensation can be issued under those plans. On May 25, 2005, the Company&#146;s stockholders approved a new Equity Compensation Plan, or the Plan, which authorized up to 750,000 shares of Class A Non-Voting Common Stock for issuance. Term and vesting schedules for options granted under the Plan may vary and are set at the time of grant by the Equity Compensation Plan Committee of the Board of Directors. Approximately $406,000 in compensation expense was recorded during the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006 for stock bonus grants and options issued under the Equity Compensation Plan.  During the quarter
ended September 30, 2006, additional paid in capital increased by $457,000 as the result of a reclassification of $536,000 from other liabilities and $79,000 from other deferred assets.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, and related interpretations (&#147;SFAS No. 123R&#148;) using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this method, compensation cost recognized in the first quarter of 2006 includes (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Compensation cost related to stock awards granted prior to, but not vested as of, January 1, 2006 continues to be amortized using the expense attribution method described in FIN
28. Results for the prior periods have not been restated. We have used the modified prospective method and estimated the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which produced an expense of  less than $1,000 related to options granted prior to January 1, 2006. For the nine month period ending September 30, 2006 an expense of $50,000 has been realized for options granted in May 2006. Also, for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2006, $356,000 in expense was recorded for stock awards and related tax. The stock awards were fully vested on the date of grant and were valued at the fair market value on the date of the grant. The options were granted at market value with a 10 year option term and will vest in a one year period from the date of grant, May 12, 2006. The fair value of the options that were granted were estimated using a Black-Scholes option-pricing formula, applying the following assumptions:</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, &#147;Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current year Financial Statements&#148; (&#147;SAB 108&#148;), which provides interpretive guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective as of the end of Artesian&#146;s 2006 fiscal year, allowing a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings as of January 1, 2006 for errors that were not previously deemed material, but are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SAB 108 on our financial statements.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, FASB, issued Statement No. 158, &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans&#148;, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Pensions&#148;; No. 88, &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits&#148;; No. 106, &#147;Employers&#146; Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions&#148;; and No. 132(R), &#147;Employers&#146; Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement</font><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'> Benefits&#148;. </font></i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>This statement requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its
statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur. Employers, such as Artesian, with publicly traded equity securities are required to initially recognize the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan and to provide the required disclosures as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The requirement to measure plan assets and benefit obligations as of the date of the employer&#146;s fiscal year-end statement of financial position is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company expects to adopt this statement effective January 1, 2007 and 2008, as detailed above, and is currently evaluating the effect on the financial statements.</font></p>

This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements; however, the statement does not require any new fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those years.

This Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise&#146;s financials statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109. The Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation allows an enterprise to recognize economic benefits resulting from positions taken in income tax returns, as long as a more likely than not approach is taken. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company expects to adopt this statement effective January 1, 2007 and

This statement requires an entity to recognize a servicing asset or servicing liability each time it undertakes an obligation to service a financial asset by entering into a servicing contract in some situations. It also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after September&nbsp;15, 2006. The Company expects to adopt this statement effective January 1, 2007 and does not expect it to have a

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><B><font style='font-size:10 PT'>NOTE 6 - RATE PROCEEDINGS </font></B></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On April 11, 2006, the PSC, approved a rate increase for Artesian Water in response to Artesian Water&#146;s February 5, 2004 rate request. Artesian Water filed an initial application in February 2004 with the PSC for a 24% rate increase to generate approximately $8.8 million in additional revenue on an annualized basis to recognize the significant increase in utility plant and equipment placed in service and increased operating expenses. On March&nbsp;26, 2004, Artesian Water filed a supplemental application reducing the requested increase to 23.8%, or approximately $8.7 million of additional revenue on an annualized basis. On April 6, 2004, Artesian Water implemented a temporary rate increase designed to generate an increase in annual operating revenue of approximately 6.98%, or $2.5 million on an annualized basis. On September 7, 2004, an additional $3.0 million in temporary rates, for a
total increase of 15%, was placed into effect as permitted by law.</font></p>



<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On June 21, 2005, the PSC ruled on various issues within Artesian Water&#146;s rate application. However, on July 5, 2005, the PSC remanded two issues related to rate base valuation to the Hearing Examiner for further consideration. These two issues related to approximately $320,000 of the requested increase in annual revenue. In addition, effective July 1, 2005, Chester Water Authority and the City of Wilmington increased their rates for water purchased by Artesian Water. On August 15, 2005, Artesian Water filed a petition with the PSC to place into effect increased rates resulting from these increased costs. The PSC, in lieu of opening a second rate proceeding, elected to consolidate this petition with the already-pending remanded issues in the rate case.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On April 11, 2006, the PSC ruled in Artesian Water&#146;s favor on all three issues. Based on the PSC decision, Artesian Water&#146;s new rates would generate approximately $4.9 million in additional revenue on an annual basis, or an increase of approximately 13.4% over rates in effect before the implementation of temporary rates in 2004. Artesian Water is required to refund the portion of the temporary rate increase in excess of the 13.4% to its customers. This amount has been held in reserve and was not reflected in income. The refund, plus interest, will be applied to customers&#146; future bills. As of September 30, 2006, we have reserved $941,000, plus an additional $98,000 in interest, in anticipation of the refund. This reserve is included under &#147;other current liabilities&#148; in our consolidated balance sheet. A portion of the reserve, or $154,000, representing revenues that were
approved on April 11, 2006, was reflected in income in the first quarter ending March 31, 2006. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On May 9, 2006, Artesian Water Company, Inc. filed a petition with the Delaware Public Service Commission to implement new rates to meet a requested increase in revenue of 23%, or approximately $9.9 million, on an annualized basis. This request is primarily due to the Company&#146;s significant investment in infrastructure, as well as an approximately 92% increase in purchased power expense due to the deregulation of the electric industry in Delaware in May 2006. On July 10, 2006, Artesian Water filed a supplemental application reducing the requested increase to 20.5%, or approximately $8.7 million on an annual basis. As permitted by law, on July 10, 2006 Artesian Water placed into effect temporary rates designed to generate an increase in annual operating revenue of approximately 5.9%, or $2.5 million on an annual basis, until the level of permanent rates is decided by the Delaware Public
Service Commission. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Delaware statute permits water utilities to put into effect, on a semi-annual basis, increases related to specific types of distribution system improvements through a Distribution System Improvement Charge, or DSIC. This charge is available to water utilities to be implemented between general rate increase applications that normally recognize changes in a water utility&#146;s overall financial position. The DSIC approval process is less costly when compared to the approval process for general rate increase requests. We requested on November 30, 2005, and subsequently implemented, a 1.17% DSIC for bills rendered after January 1, 2006. The 1.17% generated approximately $225,000 in revenues during the first nine months of 2006. As required by law, the surcharge for DSIC was reset to zero upon the implementation of the temporary rates on July 10, 2006, as noted above. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Overview</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><I><font style='font-size:10 PT'>S</font><font style='font-size:8 PT'>TRATEGIC </font><font style='font-size:10 PT'>D</font><font style='font-size:8 PT'>IRECTION</font></I></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our profitability is primarily attributable to the sale of water by Artesian Water, the amount of which is dependent on seasonal fluctuations in weather, particularly during the summer months when water demand may vary with rainfall and temperature. In the event that temperatures during the typically warmer months are cooler than expected, or rainfall is greater than expected, the demand for water may decrease and our revenues may be adversely affected. We believe the effects of weather are short term and do not materially affect the execution of our strategic initiatives. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>While customer growth in our utility subsidiaries continued to be a major focus in the first nine months of 2006, we aggressively seek opportunities that produce revenue streams that are not as directly affected by weather. These opportunities include the efforts of Artesian Utility, which is actively pursuing opportunities to design, build and operate wastewater facilities throughout Delaware and surrounding areas, and Artesian Wastewater, which began providing wastewater services to customers in Delaware as a regulated public wastewater service company in July 2005. The opportunities generated through our wastewater service companies may provide additional service territory for the regulated water subsidiary or may provide contract operations services for municipalities or other regulated entities. We will also continue to focus attention on expanding our contract operations opportunities
with municipalities and private water providers in Delaware and surrounding areas.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Ensuring that our customers have a dependable supply of safe, high-quality water has been, and will continue to be, a high priority. In 2003, Delaware passed legislation requiring all water utilities serving customers in northern New Castle County to certify by July 2006 that they have sufficient sources of self-supply to serve their respective systems. We believed we had made the appropriate investment in infrastructure and on March 8, 2005, we filed our first certification of self-sufficiency of supply with the PSC.  On June 21, 2005, the PSC issued Order No. 6660, in which they indicated that they were unable to consider our filing under the Self Sufficiency Act, since the Water Supply Coordinating Council had not yet published its determination of projected water demand. However, the PSC accepted our filing, directing the PSC Staff to review and confirm our assertion of adequate supply
through 2006. This review has been completed and on June 20, 2006 the PSC concluded that we demonstrated that we have sufficient water supply to meet the demands of our customers through 2006. As required by law, on June 30, 2006, we filed with the PSC, a new certification of self-sufficiency for the period through 2009. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On June 20, 2006, Artesian Water provided the City of Wilmington, Delaware (City) with notice of non-renewal of the interconnection agreement with the City upon its December 22, 2006 termination. Artesian Water will no longer be required to purchase 200 million gallons annually from the City after December&nbsp;22, 2006.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>As of September 30, 2006, we had 73,449 metered water customers and 76 wastewater customers, serving a population of approximately 242,000, which represents approximately 29% of Delaware&#146;s total population. The PSC regulates Artesian Water&#146;s rates charged for water service, the sale and issuance of securities and other matters. On July 6, 2004, Delaware enacted legislation authorizing the PSC to regulate wastewater companies, which includes rates charged for wastewater service, issuance of securities and other matters. Artesian Wastewater received recognition as a regulated public wastewater utility by the PSC on March 8, 2005. Artesian Wastewater began providing service to a community in Sussex County, Delaware in July 2005 after receiving a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, or CPCN, in the first quarter of 2005 to serve a planned 725 home residential community. The
PSC approved the temporary rates for this community on July&nbsp;15, 2005, and on January 24, 2006, approved the rates and tariff. Artesian Wastewater currently holds 16 CPCNs for areas in Kent and Sussex County Delaware on which developers have proposed over 5,500 residential dwellings. While the developers expect to construct these houses over the next 10 years, we cannot reasonably determine the exact time when these customers will be added to our system.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our regulated utilities periodically seek rate increases to cover the cost of increased operating expenses, increased financing expenses due to additional investments in utility plant and other costs of doing business. In Delaware, utilities are permitted by law to place rates into effect, under bond, on a temporary basis pending completion of a rate increase proceeding. The first temporary increase may be up to the lesser of $2.5&nbsp;million on an annual basis or 15% of annual gross water sales. Should the rate case not be completed within seven months, by law, the utility may put the lesser of the entire requested rate relief or 15% of annual gross water sales in effect, under bond, until a final resolution is ordered and placed into effect. If such rates are found to be in excess of rates the PSC finds to be appropriate, we must refund the portion found in excess to customers with
interest. The timing of our rate increase requests are therefore dependent upon the estimated cost of the administrative process in relation to the investments and expenses that we hope to recover through the rate increase. We can provide no assurances that rate increase requests will be approved by the applicable regulatory agencies; and, if approved, we cannot guarantee that these rate increases will be granted in a timely or sufficient manner to cover the investments and expenses for which we initially sought the rate increase.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>We are affected by inflation, most notably by the continually increasing costs required to maintain, improve and expand our service capability. The cumulative effect of inflation results in significantly higher facility costs compared to investments made 20 to 40 years ago, which must be recovered from future cash flows.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Delaware statute permits utilities to put into effect, on a semi-annual basis, increases related to specific types of distribution system improvements through DSIC. This charge is available to water utilities to be implemented between general rate increase applications that normally recognize changes in a water utility&#146;s overall financial position. The DSIC process is less costly when compared to the approval process for general rate increase requests. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On April 10, 2006, the PSC made effective new Regulations Docket 15 that governs the terms and conditions under which water utilities require advances or contributions from customers or developers. These regulations require that developers pay for all water facilities within a new development, with such facilities recorded as contributions in aid of construction by the water utility. In addition, the utility is required to receive a contribution in aid of construction of $1,500 for each new residential connection to its system towards the cost of water supply, treatment and storage facilities. These required contributions are intended to place a greater burden upon new customers to pay for the cost of facilities required to serve them.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Revenues totaled $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, $1.8 million, or 14.7%, above revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $12.4 million, primarily due to an increase in water sales revenues and the gain on sale of land by Artesian Development . Water sales revenues increased 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, over the corresponding period in 2005. A portion of the increase in water sales revenue reflects a 2.89% increase in the number of customers served. The remaining increase in operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is primarily due to a 5.9% temporary rate increase on July 10, 2006 in association with the Company&#146;s rate increase requested on May 9, 2006. The decrease in the non-utility revenues of $427,000, or  53.3% was due to a decrease in non-regulated wastewater project activity compared to the
same period last year. We realized 86.2% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from the sale of water, compared to 91.2% during the same period last year, a decrease due to the recognition of a gain on the sale of land of $1.3 million.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On April 11, 2006, the PSC approved a rate increase for Artesian Water in response to a February 5, 2004 rate request. Artesian Water filed an initial application in February 2004 with the PSC for a 24% rate increase to generate additional revenue of approximately $8.8 million on an annualized basis to recover the significant increase in utility plant and equipment placed in service and increased operating expenses. On March&nbsp;26, 2004, Artesian Water filed a supplemental application reducing the requested increase to 23.8%, or approximately $8.7 million on an annualized basis. On April 6, 2004, Artesian Water implemented a temporary rate increase designed to generate an increase in annual operating revenue of approximately 6.98%, or $2.5 million on an annualized basis. On September 7, 2004, an additional $3.0 million in temporary rates, for a total increase of 15%, was placed into effect
as permitted by law. On June 21, 2005, the PSC ruled on various issues within Artesian Water&#146;s rate application. However, on July 5, 2005, the PSC remanded two issues related to rate base valuation to the Hearing Examiner for further consideration. These two issues related to approximately $320,000 of the requested increase in annual revenue. In addition, effective July 1, 2005, Chester Water Authority and the City of Wilmington increased their rates for water purchased by Artesian Water. On August 15, 2005, Artesian Water filed a petition with the PSC to place into effect increased rates resulting from these increased costs. The PSC elected to consolidate this petition with the pending remanded issues in the rate case. On April 11, 2006, the PSC ruled in Artesian Water&#146;s favor on all three issues. Based on the PSC decision, Artesian Water&#146;s new rates will generate approximately $4.9 million in additional revenue on an annual basis, or an increase of approximately
13.4%, over rates in effect before the implementation of temporary rates in 2004. Since Artesian was permitted to bill customers under temporary rates that were found to be in excess of rates finally approved, Artesian Water will be required to refund the portion of the temporary rate increase in excess of the approved 13.4% increase to its customers. The estimated amount has been held in reserve and was not reflected in income. The refund, plus interest which has been reflected in interest expense during the appropriate period, will be applied to the customers&#146; future bills. As of September 30, 2006, we had reserved $941,000 of the total received under temporary rates in anticipation of a refund. The Company anticipates a refund to our customers in the fourth quarter.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Operating Expenses</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and income taxes, increased $0.2 million, or 2.5%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2005. The components of the increase in operating expenses included an increase in utility operating expenses of $413,000. Non-utility operating expenses decreased $269,000 in the third quarter of 2006, or 48.2%, compared to the same period last year.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>The increase in utility operating expense of $413,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, or 7.1%, over the same period in 2005, is primarily comprised of increases in repair and maintenance and purchased power costs.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Repair and maintenance expense increased by $179,000, or 45.3%, compared to the same period in 2005, due to repair of lightning strike damage at one of our stations and an increase in the frequency of the change out of the carbon filter media at our facilities.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Utility purchased power expense also increased $185,000, or 49.2%, compared to the same period in 2005, due to an increase in electric rates of approximately 92% effective May 2006. Price caps instituted by electric restructuring legislation in Delaware in 1999 were lifted in 2006, resulting in extreme price increases for all of Delmarva Power&#146;s customers. Artesian sought to mitigate these increases by signing a two-year supply contract, at a fixed price, with Pepco Holdings, Inc.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Non-utility expense decreased approximately $268,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from the three months ended September 30, 2005, due to less project activity as compared to the same period in 2005. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Property taxes, assessed on property primarily held by Artesian Water, increased by $30,000, or 5.0%, compared to the same period in 2005, reflecting increases in tax rates charged for public schools in various areas where Artesian holds property and increases in the amount of plant owned by Artesian. Property taxes are assessed on land, buildings and certain utility plant, which includes the footage and size of pipe, hydrants and wells owned by Artesian Water.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>The ratio of operating expense, excluding depreciation and income taxes, to total revenue was 50.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 56.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease in the ratio was primarily due to the sale of land by Artesian Development.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Depreciation and amortization expense increased $139,000, or 12.6%, over the three months ended September&nbsp;30, 2006, due to continuing investment in utility plant in service providing supply, treatment, storage and distribution of water.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Federal and State income tax expense increased $483,000 due to higher profitability for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005. The effective tax rate was 38.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 39.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The reduction in the effective tax rate was partially due to the application of state net operating losses applied against the gain on the sale of land in Artesian Development .</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our Allowance for Funds Used During Construction, or AFUDC, increased $52,000, or 108.0%, compared to the same period in 2005, as a result of higher long-term construction activity subject to AFUDC for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Interest Charges</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Interest charges increased $125,000, or 8.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to higher long-term debt outstanding and interest related to Artesian Water&#146;s 2004 rate case customer refund.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Net Income</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our net income increased $928,000, or 55.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in net income for the three months was primarily due to the gain on the sale of land owned by Artesian Development . </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Operating Revenues</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Revenues totaled $36.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, $2.9 million, or 8.6%, above revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, of $33.8 million, primarily due to an increase in water sales revenues and the gain on sale of land by Artesian Development . Water sales revenues increased 7.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, over the corresponding period in 2005. A portion of the increase in water sales revenue reflects a 2.89% increase in the number of customers served. In addition, since Artesian Water did not record as income in 2005 certain revenues received that we could not reasonably be certain we would retain, we reflected $154,000 for income received under rates approved in the remand of our 2004 rate filing in the first nine months of 2006, further described below. The remaining increase in operating revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 is primarily due to additional revenues of approximately $225,000 generated by the increase in DSIC, slightly higher volumes of water delivered to customers, and a temporary rate increase of 5.9% on July 10, 2006 in association with the Company&#146;s rate increase requested on May 9, 2006. The decrease in the non-utility revenues in the amount of $707,000 was due to a decrease in wastewater construction activity compared to the same period last year. We realized 90.6% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from the sale of water, compared to 91.7% during the same period last year.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On April 11, 2006, the PSC approved a rate increase for Artesian Water in response to Artesian Water&#146;s February 5, 2004 rate request. For more details regarding this proceeding, see Results of Operations &#150; Analysis of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared to the Three Months Ended September&nbsp;30, 2005 above.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Operating Expenses</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and income taxes, increased $0.9 million, or 4.5%, to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $20.1 million for the same period in 2005. The components of the increase in operating expenses included an increase in utility operating expenses of $1.6 million. Non-utility operating expenses decreased $809,000 in the first nine months of 2006, or 47.6%, compared to the same period last year primarily due to less wastewater construction activity in 2006.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>The increase in utility operating expense of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, or 9.5%, over the same period in 2005, is comprised of increases in payroll and employee benefits, administration expense, purchased power expense, purchased water costs and water treatment expense.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Payroll and employee benefit expense increased $694,000, or 8.1%, compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to a decrease in the capitalization of payroll and benefits associated with our internal staff efforts in 2005 to convert our customer information system, which was placed into service on January 2, 2006. Additional staffing and wage increases also contributed to the increase.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Administration expense increased $253,000, or 10.4%, compared to the same period in 2005, due primarily to outside services related to the implementation of the GIS system and increased regulatory expenses. These regulatory expenses included the millage assessed to public utilities in Delaware, which increased 50% in 2005, Public Service Commission expenses associated with our water self sufficiency filing, and a generic water utility docket to address developer contributions, all of which increased administrative expense by $62,000.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Purchased power expense increased $293,000, or 29.2%, compared to the same period in 2005, due to an increase in electric rates of approximately 92% effective May 2006. Price caps instituted by electric restructuring legislation in Delaware in 1999 were lifted in 2006, resulting in extreme price increases for all of Delmarva Power&#146;s customers. Artesian sought to mitigate these increases by signing a two-year supply contract, at a fixed price, with Pepco Holdings, Inc.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Utility operating expense also increased $76,000, or 3.0%, compared to the same period in 2005, due to the recognition of an increase in rates charged for water purchased from neighboring utilities under minimum take or pay agreements. Water treatment expense increased by $110,000, or 18.7%, compared to the same period in 2005, as a result of increases in the cost of chemicals used in the water treatment process.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Non-utility expense decreased approximately $809,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, from the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due to less project activity as compared to the same period in 2005. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Property taxes assessed on property, primarily held by Artesian Water, increased by $132,000, or 7.4%, compared to the same period in 2005, reflecting increases in tax rates charged for public schools in various areas where Artesian holds property and increases in the amount of plant owned by Artesian. Property taxes are assessed on land, buildings and certain utility plant, which includes the footage and size of pipe, hydrants and wells owned by Artesian Water.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>The ratio of operating expense, excluding depreciation and income taxes, to total revenue was 57.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 59.6% for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2005. The decrease in the ratio was primarily due to the sale of land by Artesian Development.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Depreciation and amortization expense increased $202,000, or 6.3%, over the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2005, due to increases in our utility plant in service providing supply, treatment, storage and distribution of water. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Federal and State income tax expense increased $566,000, or 22.1%, due to higher profitability for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The effective tax rate was 38.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 40.03% for the nine months ended September&nbsp;30, 2005. The reduction in the effective tax rate was partially due to the application of state net operating losses applied against the gain on the sale of land in Artesian Development .</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our AFUDC increased $48,000, or 28.1%, compared to the same period in 2005, as a result of higher long-term construction activity subject to AFUDC for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. Miscellaneous income increased $17,000 primarily due to recording slightly higher dividend income associated with our investment in CoBank. CoBank is a cooperative bank that distributes equity and cash income to its customer-owners. Our ownership interest in CoBank is the result of our issuance of $50 million  First Mortgage Bonds to CoBank as currently reflected on our Consolidated balance sheet. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><u><i><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Net Income</font></i></u></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our net income increased $1.1 million, or 29.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in net income for the nine months was primarily due to the gain on the sale of land owned by Artesian Development . </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;'><B><font style='font-size:10 PT'>LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES</font></B></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Our primary sources of liquidity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $9.9 million provided by cash flow from operating activities, $10.5 million in net contributions and advances from developers, and $5.9 million in borrowing on our lines of credit. Cash flow from operating activities is primarily provided by our utility operations, and is impacted by the timeliness and adequacy of rate increases and changes in water consumption as a result of year-to-year variations in weather conditions particularly during the summer. A significant part of our ability to maintain and meet our financial objectives is to assure our investments in utility plant and equipment are recovered in the rates charged to customers. As such, from time to time we file rate increase requests to recover increases in operating expenses and investments in utility plant and equipment. </font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>On May 9, 2006, Artesian Water filed a petition with the PSC to implement new rates to meet a requested increase in revenue of 23%, or approximately $9.9 million, on an annualized basis. This request is primarily due to the Company&#146;s significant investment in infrastructure, as well as an approximately 92% increase in purchased power expense due to the deregulation of the electric industry in Delaware. On July&nbsp;10, 2006, Artesian Water filed a supplemental application reducing the requested increase to 20.5%, or approximately $8.7 million on an annual basis. As permitted by law, on July 10, 2006 Artesian Water placed into effect temporary rates designed to generate an increase in annual operating revenue of approximately 5.9%, or $2.5 million on an annual basis, under bond until the level of permanent rates is decided by the Delaware Public Service Commission.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>We invested $25.0 million in capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2006 compared to $15.1 million invested during the same period in 2005. The primary focus of Artesian Water&#146;s investment was to continue to provide high quality reliable service to our growing service territory. We are constructing a new one million gallon elevated storage facility in southern New Castle County to serve customers in and around the town of Middletown and invested $2.3 million in the first nine months of 2006. When completed, Artesian Water will have invested approximately $2.5 million in the facility. In addition, we are continuing our regional approach to building infrastructure through connecting existing supply infrastructure to new developments and at the same time providing redundancy to existing developments by connecting them to the regional system. These efforts resulted in an
investment of $7.6 million in the first nine months of 2006. Artesian Wastewater invested $1.6 million in constructing two new wastewater treatment facilities in Sussex County. When completed, Artesian Wastewater will have invested approximately $3.0 million in these facilities, which will be capable of serving approximately 1,000 customers. In addition, Artesian Wastewater took ownership of a wastewater treatment plant in a Sussex County development known as the Reserves. The $1.4 million facility was contributed to Artesian Wastewater by the developer. The facility was constructed to serve 97 customers.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>At September 30, 2006, Artesian Water had lines of credit totaling $40.0 million to meet temporary cash requirements. These revolving credit facilities are unsecured. As of September 30, 2006, we had $32.4 million of available funds under these lines. The interest rate for borrowings under each of these lines is the London Interbank Offering Rate, or &#147;LIBOR,&#148; plus 1.0% or, at our discretion, the banks&#146; federal funds rate plus 1.0%. Each bank reviews all of their facilities annually for renewal. At September 30, 2006, Artesian Utility and Artesian Wastewater had lines of credit with a financial institution for $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to meet temporary cash requirements. These revolving credit facilities are unsecured. As of September 30, 2006, we had not borrowed funds under any of these lines. The interest rate for borrowings under each of these lines is the
LIBOR plus 1.75%. The bank reviews its facilities annually for renewal.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>We believe that our available cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations and cash available under our lines of credit will be sufficient to finance our operations, planned capital expenditures and commitments for the next twelve months.</font></p>

  3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK</font></B></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>We are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business. Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use of fixed rate, long-term debt and, to a lesser extent, short-term debt. The Company&#146;s interest rate risk related to existing fixed rate, long-term debt is not material due to the terms of our First Mortgage Bonds, which have maturity dates ranging from 2018 to 2043.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:8pt;text-align:left;'><font style='font-size:10 pt'>Artesian Water had lines of credit totaling $40.0 million to meet temporary cash requirements. As of September 30, 2006, we had $32.4 million of available funds under these lines. The interest rate for borrowings under each of these lines is the LIBOR plus 1.0% or, at our discretion, the banks&#146; federal funds rate plus 1.0%. Artesian Utility and Artesian Wastewater had lines of credit with a financial institution for $3.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to meet temporary cash requirements. As of September 30, 2006, we had not borrowed funds under any of these lines. The interest rate for borrowings under each of these lines is the LIBOR plus 1.75%. All these revolving credit facilities are unsecured. The bank reviews its facilities annually for renewal. As such these rates are subject to the risk of fluctuating in the normal of course of business. Consequently, our interest expense
for short term debt could be materially affected should interest rates change materially and we have material outstanding balances under our lines of credit.</font></p>
