      January 25, 2008, Artesian Water submitted a notice to the DEPSC of our intent
      to file an application for a rate increase, as is required to be submitted
      prior
      to filing an application.&#160;&#160;On April 22, 2008, Artesian Water filed a
      petition with the DEPSC to implement new rates to meet a requested increase
      in
      revenue of 28.8%, or approximately $14.2 million, on an annualized
      basis.&#160;&#160;On July, 11, 2008, pursuant to the DEPSC&#8217;s minimum filing
      requirements, Artesian filed a supplemental filing with the DEPSC 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 $13.5 million, on an annualized basis.&#160;&#160;This request was
      primarily due to the Company&#8217;s significant investment in infrastructure to
      improve and ensure water quality and service reliability.&#160;&#160;This
      includes capital expenditures for additional supply, storage, water main
      replacements, hydraulic improvements, installation of automated meter reading
      equipment in the service territory south of the Chesapeake &amp; Delaware canal,
      or C&amp;D Canal, and additional space to house our critical operations and
      office support functions. The rate request was also filed due to increases
      in
      various operating and maintenance costs, including increased costs associated
      with depreciation, purchased power, purchased water, additional building space
      and postage. Additional reasons for this request include expenses related to
      new
      water system additions, the implementation of monthly billing to customers
      below
      the C&amp;D Canal, and creation of new water consumption blocks to provide the
      company an opportunity to achieve a fair rate of return.</font></div>

      the DEPSC.&#160;&#160;Also pursuant to law, on December 17, 2008, we placed

      construction loan, secured by a 75 acre parcel purchased by NSRWRC on July
      1,
      2008 for approximately $5 million.&#160;&#160;The interest rate on the
      construction loan is variable based on LIBOR Advantage Rate plus 225 basis
      points.&#160;&#160;The line of credit includes provisions that require Artesian
      Resources to assume the debt and all liabilities arising from that debt under
      certain circumstances, including the bankruptcy of NSRWRC.&#160;&#160;In the
      event of default by NSRWRC, Artesian Resources shall pay NSRWRC's obligations

      immediately deposit all amounts due under the obligation.&#160;&#160;As of June
      30, 2009, approximately $7.5 million has been drawn on the loan, which is
      included in the Lines of Credit on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.&#160;&#160;As
      of June 30, 2009, approximately $7.5 million is included in non-utility property
      and was comprised of the land and construction in progress of the
      facility.&#160;&#160;The entire capitalization of NSRWRC is comprised of the
      amounts borrowed against the $10 million construction loan.&#160;&#160;In
      connection with the purchase of the treatment facility site, as of June 30,
      2008, Artesian Utility agreed to commit $3.0 million to NSRWRC, payable in
      10
      equal annual installments, which commenced on June 30, 2008.&#160;&#160;In April
      2009, Artesian Utility agreed to accelerate two of its payments to NSRWRC in
      exchange for a $450,000 reduction in the total commitment.&#160;&#160;Artesian
      Utility made a $900,000 payment to NSRWRC, which included the June 30, 2009
      payment and the acceleration of two payments, or $600,000.&#160;&#160;As a
      result of the reduction in the commitment and the acceleration of the payments,
      the remaining balance of $1,350,000 will be repaid over the next 5 years with
      a
      final payment of $150,000 due on June 30, 2014.&#160;&#160;There has been a
      nominal investment in NSRWRC by the owner of NSRWRC.&#160;&#160;The treatment
      facility will be owned by NSRWRC until the initial loan to the treatment
      facility is repaid.&#160;&#160;At that time, the treatment facility will be

      property.&#160;&#160;Immediately following the transfer of the treatment

      2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, &#8220;The FASB Accounting Standards Codification
      and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.&#8221;&#160;&#160;This
      standard replaces SFAS No. 162, &#8220;The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
      Principles,&#8221; and establishes only two levels of U.S. GAAP, authoritative and
      non-authoritative.&#160;&#160;The FASB Accounting Standards Codification, or
      Codification, became effective on July 1, 2009, officially becoming the single
      source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. GAAP, superseding existing FASB,
      American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, EITF, and related accounting
      literature.&#160;&#160;As of July 1, 2009, only one level of authoritative GAAP
      exists.&#160;&#160;All other accounting literature will be considered
      non-authoritative.&#160;&#160;The Codification reorganizes the thousands of GAAP
      pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a
      consistent structure.&#160;&#160;Also included in the Codification is relevant
      Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical
      structure in separate sections within the Codification.&#160;&#160;This standard
      is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim
      periods ending after September 15, 2009.&#160;&#160;As the Codification was not
      intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on the
      Company&#8217;s consolidated financial statements.&#160;&#160;Upon its effective date,
      it will impact the Company's financial statement disclosures since all future
      references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in
      accordance with the Codification.</font></div>

      is intended to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure
      of
      events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
      are issued or are available to be issued.&#160;&#160;Specifically, this standard
      sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management
      of a
      reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for
      potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
      circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
      occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the
      disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
      occurred after the balance sheet date.&#160;&#160;SFAS No. 165 is effective for
      financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods ending June

      will actually provide water services to a new proposed service territory within

      Company is subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal
      course of business. Our policy is to manage interest rates through the use
      of
      fixed rate long-term debt and, to a lesser extent, short-term debt. The
      Company's exposure to interest rate risk related to existing fixed rate,
      long-term debt is due to the term of the majority of our First Mortgage Bonds,
      which have final maturity dates ranging from 2019 to 2043. We are also exposed
      to market risk associated with changes in commodity prices. Our risks associated
      with price increases in chemicals, electricity and other commodities are
      mitigated by our ability to recover our costs through rate increases to our
      customers. We have also sought to mitigate future significant electric price
      increases by signing a two year supply contract, at a fixed price.</font></div>
