      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.&#160;&#160;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.&#160;&#160;The first temporary increase may be up to the lesser of
      $2.5&#160;million on an annual basis or 15% of annual gross water
      sales.&#160;&#160;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.&#160;&#160;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.&#160;&#160;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.&#160;&#160;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.&#160;&#160;On April
      22, 2008, Artesian Water filed a petition with the PSC to implement new rates
      to
      meet a requested increase in revenue of 28.8%, or approximately $14.2 million,
      on an annualized basis. On July, 11, 2008, pursuant to the PSC&#8217;s minimum filing
      requirements, Artesian filed a supplemental filing with the PSC to update
      financial schedules for actual experience through March 31, 2008 and to reflect
      additional changes affecting the requested increase.&#160;&#160;The overall
      result was a reduction to the requested increase in revenue of 1.5%, to 27.3%
      or
      approximately $13.6 million, on an annualized basis.</font></div>
