NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Birmingham Utilities, Inc. is a specially chartered public service
corporation in the business of collecting and distributing water for
domestic, commercial and industrial uses and fire protection. The
Company provides water to Ansonia and Derby, Connecticut and in small
parts of the contiguous Town of Seymour with a population of
approximately 31,000 people.
The Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the Connecticut
Department of Public Utility Control ("DPUC") as to accounting,
financing, ratemaking, disposal of property, the issuance of long term
securities and other matters affecting its operations. The Connecticut
Department of Public Health (The "Health Department" or "DPH") has
regulatory powers over the Company under state law with respect to
Page 6
water quality, sources of supply, and the use of watershed land. The
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection "DEP") is authorized
to regulate the Company's operations with regard to water pollution
abatement, diversion of water from streams and rivers, safety of dams
and the location, construction and alteration of certain water
facilities. The Company's activities are also subject to regulation
with regard to environmental and other operational matters by federal,
state and local authorities, including, without limitation, zoning
authorities.
The Company is subject to regulation of its water quality under
the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act ("SDWA"). The United States
Environmental Protection Agency has granted to the Health Department
the primary enforcement responsibility in Connecticut under the SDWA.
The Health Department has established regulations containing maximum
limits on contaminants which have or may have an adverse effect on
health.
NOTE 1 - QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA
The accompanying financial statements of Birmingham Utilities,
Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, without audit, except for the Balance
Sheet for the period ending December 31, 1998, which has been audited.
The interim financial information conforms to the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and, as applied in the case of
rate-regulated public utilities, complies with the Uniform System of
Accounts and ratemaking practices prescribed by the authorities.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted, pursuant to such
rules and regulations; although the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and accompanying footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
The Company's business of selling water is to a certain extent
seasonal because water consumption normally increases during the warmer
summer months.Other factors affecting the comparability of various
accounting periods include the timing of rate increases and the timing
and magnitude of property sales. Accordingly, annualization of the
results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and June
30, 1998, would not necessarily accurately forecast the annual results
of each year.

NOTE 3 - RATE MATTERS
On January 21, 1998, the DPUC granted the Company a 4.1% water
service rate increase designed to provide a $177,260 annual increase in
water service revenues and a 12.16% return on common equity. New rates
became effective on February 1, 1998.
NOTE 4 - LAND SALES
On January 21, 1998, the Company sold to the City of Derby,
Connecticut, 145 acres of land in Derby, Connecticut for $1,800,000.
The total gain from the sale amounted to $910,306 of which $81,983 was
deferred and will be recognized over a 3-year period, as approved by
the DPUC.
On April 29, 1998, the Company sold 2.9 acres of land in
Woodbridge, Connecticut for the development of a single-family home
for $96,000. The total gain from the sale amounted to $28,955 of which
$9,243 was deferred and will be recognized over a 10-year period as
approved by the DPUC.
The Company also sold, on November 23, 1998, 229 acres of land in
Seymour and Oxford, Connecticut to the Town of Seymour. This parcel
was sold below market value, and as a result, the transaction was
classified as a bargain sale for income tax purposes. The net gain
from the sale amounted to $1,010,209 of which $90,965 was deferred
and will be recognized over a 3-year period as approved by the DPUC.
As a result of the bargain sale, the net gain also includes tax
deductions of $177,064 of which $98,900 will be carried forward to
reduce the Company's tax liability in subsequent years.
Page 8
On December 3, 1998, the Company sold 515 acres of land in Oxford
and Seymour, Connecticut to The Trust for Public Land for $3,220,000.
The Trust for Public Land,in turn, simultaneously sold the property to
the Town of Oxford for the same price.This parcel was also sold below
market value, and therefore, the transaction was classified as a bargain
sale for income tax purposes. The net gain from the sale amounted to
$1,743,998 of which $157,037 was deferred and will be recognized over
a 3-year period as approved by the DPUC. As a result of the bargain
sale, the net gain includes tax deductions of $329,274 of which $184,100
will be carried forward to reduce the Company 's tax liability in
subsequent years.
In 1997, the Company had entered into a contract to sell 245 acres
of land in Seymour, Connecticut to M/1 Homes by December 31, 1998 for a
purchase price of $3,950,000. Because M/1 Homes had been unable to
secure various land use approvals for the part of its development plan
that included construction of an 18-hole golf course, it has amended
its development plan. The delays caused by, among other things, the
modified development plan, resulted in M/1 Homes requesting that the
Company extend the closing deadline beyond the original December 31,
1998 date. The Company and M/1 Homes recently agreed to a contract
amendment extending the closing date to June 30, 1999 and providing
for certain other modifications to the agreement. The amended
agreement contemplates, instead of a golf course, the dedication by
M/1 Homes of over 50% (approximately 130 acres) of the acreage
included in the transaction for open space purposes. Among other
things, the modified agreement also provides for a $70,000 increase
in the purchase price to $4,020,000, of which $2,370,000 will be
payable at the closing, and the $1,650,000 balance within one year
from the closing. Payment of the deferred portion of the purchase
price will be secured by a first mortgage in favor of the Company on
a portion of the property. The original 1997 agreement had been
approved by the DPUC, and the Company applied to the DPUC for approval
of the modified agreement on January 29, 1999. On June 16, 1999, the
DPUC issued a final decision denying approval of that agreement. As a
result of that denial, and in accordance with the original agreement,
the Company refunded to M1Homes $147,500 plus interest of the original
$197,500 deposit and retained the remaining $50,000 plus interest.
The Company has now begun the process of re-marketing this property.
NOTE 5 - STOCK SPLIT
On January 11, 1999, the Company filed with the DPUC an Application
for Approval to Issue approximately 780,000 additional shares of common
stock in conjunction with a 2-for-1 stock split. The stock split which
had been approved by the Board of Directors in December, 1998, and by
the DPUC on February 26, 1999. The stock split became effective on March
31, 1999 with respect to shares held of record on March 18, 1999.
All financial information contained in Form 10-Q has been adjusted to
reflect the impact of the common stock split.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Results of Operations
and Financial Condition contained in the Company's Annual Report in Form
10K for the year ended December 31, 1998, should be read in conjunction
with the comments below.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Completion of the Company's Long Term Capital Improvement Program
is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise capital from external
sources, including, for the purpose of this analysis, proceeds from the
sale of the Company's holdings of excess land. For the six months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, the Company's additions to utility plant, net
of customer advances, cost $559,754 and $761,569, respectively. (see
Statement of Cash Flows). These additions were financed primarily from
external sources, namely proceeds from land sales.
The Company has outstanding $4,418,000 principal amount of
Mortgage Bonds, due September 1, 2011, issued under its Mortgage
Indenture. The Mortgage Indenture limits the issuing of additional
First Mortgage Bonds and the payment of dividends.It does not, however,
restrict the issuance of either long term or short term debt which is
either unsecured or secured with liens subordinate to the lien of the
Mortgage Indenture. The Company also had a $1,500,000 secured, term
loan which was repaid in full on November 23, 1998. Principal and
interest payments were made monthly up to the time of repayment.
In 1998, the Company converted a $600,000 working capital line of
credit and a $1,500,000 secured line of credit to a two-year $2,100,000
revolving line of credit. In June, 2000, the Company will have the
option to convert any outstanding balance to a six-year term note with
principal payments based on a 20-year amortization schedule, with a
balloon payment at the end of the six-year term. The revolving line of
credit is secured by a lien (subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage
Bond Indenture) on all of the Company's utility property other than its
excess land available for sale. There were no borrowings outstanding
on the revolving line of credit on June 30, 1999.
The Company may choose among several interest rate options on the
revolving line of credit variable option of 30- or 90-day LIBOR plus
100 basis points, or prime. The term loan interest rate options consist
of a fixed rate at the bank's cost of funds plus 100 basis points, or
a variable rate of the prime rate or 90 day LIBOR plus 100 basis points
which is reset every 90 days.
The Company's 1999 Capital Budget of $1,800,000 is two-tiered.
The first tier consists of typical capital improvements made each year
for services, hydrants and meters, is budgeted for $550,000 in 1999,
and is expected to be financed primarily with internally generated
funds.
Page 10
The second tier of the 1999 Capital Budget consists of
replacements and betterments which are part of the Company's Long Term
Capital Improvement Program and includes $1,250,000 of budgeted plant
additions. Plant additions from this part of the 1999 budget may
require use of the Company's line of credit. Second tier plant additions
can be, and portions of it are expected to be, deferred to future years
if funds are not available for their construction in 1999.
As of June 30, 1999, the Company has approximately 960 acres of
excess land available for sale, consisting of land currently classified
as Class III, non-watershed land under the statutory classification
system for water company lands. The Company believes that by selling
these excess lands it can generate sufficient equity capital to support
its 5 year capital budget, currently estimated at $10,000,000. Such
land dispositions are subject to approval by the DPUC. Proceeds from
the sale of land are recorded as revenue at the time of closing and
portions of the gains are deferred and amortized over various times as
stipulated by the DPUC.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Company is currently evaluating its exposure to the Year 2000
problem and is taking steps to be Year 2000 compliant. In general
terms, the problem arises from the fact that many existing computer
systems and other equipment containing date-sensitive embedded
technology use only two digits to identify a year in the date field,
with the assumption that the first two digits of the year are always
"19". As a result, such systems may misinterpret dates after December
31, 1999, which may result in miscalculations, other malfunctions or
the total failure of such systems.
The Company's existing billing and accounting software are
currently in the process of being upgraded to comply with all Year
2000 related issues. Management anticipates its computer systems will
be fully compliant by the end of the second quarter of 1999.
The Company also is evaluating the Year 2000 compliance of systems
and equipment which are not linked to billing and accounting software
and has identified items that could be impacted by the Year 2000
problem. For the items identified as possibly presenting a Year 2000
problem, the Company has contacted suppliers, where possible, to obtain
adequate assurance that it is Year 2000 compliant or is in the process
of determining and addressing any noncompliance. In addition, wherever
practical, the Company is independently testing such items for
compliance.
In addition to its own systems and equipment, the Company depends
upon the proper function of computer systems and other date-sensitive
equipment of outside parties. These parties include other water
companies, banks, telecommunications service providers and electric
and other utilities.
Page 11
Due to the uncertainties presented by such third party Year 2000
problems, and the possibility that, despite its efforts, the Company
may be unsuccessful in preparing its internal systems and equipment
for the Year 2000, the Company is developing working plans for dealing
with its most reasonably likely worst-case scenario, many of which are
contained in the Company's approved Emergency Contingency Plan. The
Company's assessment of its most reasonably likely worst-case scenario
and the exact nature and scope of its contingency plans will be
affected by the Company's continued Year 2000 assessment. The Company
expects to complete such assessment and contingency planning during the
third quarter of 1999, and to have all contingency systems in place and
fully tested by the fourth quarter of 1999. Costs to meet Year 2000
compliance are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations.
Results of Operations for the Six Months and Three Months Ended June
30, 1999 and 1998.
Net Income
Net Income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $415,249
compared with $1,071,168 for the same 1998 period. The sale of
property in January of 1998 in Derby, Connecticut, to the City of
Derby, contributed $828,286 to net income in the first quarter of 1998.
There were no comparable land sales in 1999. Net Income for the three
months ended June 30, 1999 of $213,346 is $27,274 higher than the
comparable three month period in 1998. Increased revenues, lower
interest charges and increased income resulting from the amortization
of prior year land sales are somewhat offset by increased property
taxes and depreciation expense.
Operating Revenues
Operating revenues for the first six months of 1999 of $2,241,078
are $116,060 higher than operating revenues of $2,125,018 for the first
six months of 1998. Increased water consumption in 1999 from all classes
of customers and the effects of an over-all four percent water service
rate increase that became effective February 1, 1998, accounts for this
increase. Operating revenues for the three month period ending June 30,
1999 are $46,305 higher than the comparable 1998 quarter. Increased
consumption as a result of dry weather conditions during the second
quarter account for the increase.
Operating and Maintenance Expenses
Operating and Maintenance expenses for the first six months of
1999 are $28,149 higher than the comparable 1998 period. Increased
purchased power costs relating to increased water sales and higher
main maintenance and service line expense principally account for the
variance. Operating and Maintenance expenses for the three month
period ending June 30, 1999 are $39,758 higher than the comparable 1998
quarter. Increased purchased water costs, meter expenses, transmission
Page 12
line expense and main maintenance costs principally account for the
variance.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense for the first six months of 1999 and for
the three month period ending June 30,1999 are $31,002 and $15,502,
respectively, higher than the comparable 1998 periods due to
depreciation expense relating to general plant additions.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes
Taxes other than income taxes for the six and three month periods
ended June 30, 1999 is $18,461 and $24,479 respectively, higher than
the comparable 1998 periods. Increased property taxes in conjunction
with the Company's capital improvement program account for these
increases.
Other Income
Other income for the first six months of 1999 is $19,585 ahead of
the comparable 1998 period. Investment interest income as a result of
the Company's temporary cash investments accounts for the increase.
Other income for the three month period ending June 30, 1999 is $12,455
below the comparable 1998 period. Timber sales of $13,908 which were
recorded in the second quarter of 1998 did not occur in 1999.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six and three month periods ending June
30, 1999 is $61,464 and $27,417 below the comparable 1998 periods.
Interest charges relating to short term borrowing and in conjunction
with the Company's term loan, which was repaid in the fourth quarter
of 1998, have not occurred in 1999.
Land Dispositions
When the Company disposes of land, any gain recognized, net of tax,
is shared between rate payers and stockholders based upon a formula
approved by the DPUC. The impact of land dispositions is recognized in
two places on the statement of income.
The statement of income reflects income from the disposition of
Land (net of taxes) of $849,396 for the three months ended June 30,
1998. That amount represents the sale of 145 acres of land to the
City of Derby, CT on January 21,1998 and 2.9 acres of property in
Woodbridge, CT in May of 1998. That amount represents the
stockholders' immediate share of income from the land sales. The net
gain on both sales totaled $941,312, including the deferred portion.
The DPUC's October 22, 1997 Decision approving the Derby sale provided
for a 3-year amortization period, as 75% of this parcel has been
dedicated as open space. There was a minor sale of property that took
Page 13
place in June of 1999 in conjunction with an encroachment. The net
gain totaled $2,095 on that sale.
Land disposition income is also recognized in the financial
statements as a component of operating income on the line entitled
"Amortization of Deferred Income on Dispositions of Land." These
amounts represent the recognition of income deferred on land
dispositions which occurred in prior years. The amortization of
deferred income on land dispositions net of tax, was $1,171,480 and
$76,613 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, and $85,740
and $38,307, respectively, for the three-month periods ending June 30,
1999 and 1998.
Recognition of deferred income will continue over time periods
ranging from three to fifteen years, depending upon the amortization
period ordered by the DPUC for each particular disposition.
