About Northeast Utilities (NU)

Northeast Utilities Parent is the parent company of NU's subsidiaries. NU's regulated utilities furnish franchised retail electric service in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Massachusetts through three wholly owned subsidiaries: The Connecticut Light and Power Company (CL&P), Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) and Western Massachusetts Electric Company (WMECO). Other subsidiaries include Holyoke Water Power Company (HWP), a company engaged in the production of electric power, and Yankee Energy System, Inc. (Yankee), the parent company of Yankee Gas Services Company, Connecticut's largest natural gas distribution system.

Several wholly owned subsidiaries of NU provide support services for NU's companies. Northeast Utilities Service Company provides centralized accounting, administrative, engineering, financial, information technology, legal, operational, planning, purchasing, and other services to NU's companies. Three other subsidiaries construct, acquire or lease some of the property and facilities used by NU's companies.

NU Enterprises, Inc. (NU Enterprises) is a wholly owned subsidiary of NU and acts as the holding company for certain of NU's subsidiaries. Select Energy, Inc. (Select Energy) and its consolidated subsidiary Select Energy New York, Inc. (SENY), Northeast Generation Services Company (NGS) and its subsidiaries, Select Energy Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries (SESI), Mode 1 Communications, Inc. and Woods Network Services, Inc., engage in a variety of energy-related and telecommunications activities, primarily in the competitive energy retail and wholesale commodity, marketing and services fields. Northeast Generation Company (NGC) acquires generation facilities. E.S. Boulos Company (Boulos), NGS Mechanical, Inc. (NGS Mechanical) and Woods Electrical Co., Inc. (Woods Electrical) are wholly owned subsidiaries of NGS. Greenport Power, LLC (Greenport) was a joint venture that was 50 percent owned by NGS. Select Energy Contracting, Inc. (Select Energy Contracting) and Reeds Ferry Supply Co., Inc. (Reeds Ferry) are wholly owned subsidiaries of NU Enterprises. HEC/Tobyhanna Energy Project, Inc., (HEC/Tobyhanna) and HEC/CJTS Energy Center LLC (HEC/CJTS) are wholly owned subsidiaries of SESI. Another company, ERI/HEC EFA-Med, LLC (ERI/HEC), is 50 percent owned by SESI. Yankee maintains certain wholly owned subsidiaries, including Yankee Energy Services Company (YESCO).

NU Enterprises is grouped into two business segments: the merchant energy business segment and the energy services business segment. The merchant energy business segment includes Select Energy's wholesale and retail businesses. The energy services business segment consists of the operations of NGS, Select Energy Contracting, Reeds Ferry, SESI and Woods Network.

NU Enterprises Divestitures: NU Enterprises continues to work toward the goal of exiting the wholesale marketing business by the end of 2005. NU Enterprises is continuing to evaluate several alternatives to accomplish this goal, including selling the wholesale portfolio of contracts, restructuring long-term wholesale contracts, and serving out some or all of the remaining contracts until they expire. During the second quarter of 2005, NU Enterprises solicited bids from firms that wanted to purchase all or a large portion of the wholesale portfolio of contracts with 28 firms expressing interest in the wholesale portfolio of contracts and 15 firms submitting indicative bids.

In parallel, NU Enterprises is restructuring its long-dated contract obligations and has reached agreements to buy out 6 of the 15 municipal contracts that are being sold. Those 6 contracts, which account for over 20 percent of the value of these load obligations, will terminate between September 1, 2005 and March 1, 2006. Active negotiations are continuing with the other 9 municipalities, and NU Enterprises remains hopeful that it will be able to renegotiate or sell all of those contracts in 2005 under acceptable terms.

NU Enterprises is also seeking to divest the contracts to serve a number of investor-owned utilities in New England and PJM over the next three years. These contracts currently total approximately 26 million megawatt-hours of sales obligations. Approximately 75 percent of the sales and purchase obligations are for delivery over the next 12 months. These contracts are essentially volumetrically balanced based on the company's projected load obligations; however, load variability could result in an inbalance. Such an inbalance or significant changes in basis prices could have material economic consequences. If NU Enterprises cannot sell this portfolio of contracts on acceptable terms, then contracts would be divested individually or served out.

NU Enterprises continues to work to complete the divestiture of its energy services businesses by the end of 2005. During the second quarter of 2005, a number of parties have expressed interest in those companies and NU Enterprises was in the process of receiving and analyzing bids for several of these businesses with the expectation of selling these businesses by the end of 2005.

Wholesale Marketing Contract Changes

NU Enterprises recorded $69.6 million and $258.5 million of pre-tax wholesale contract market changes for merchant energy for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, related to the changes in the fair value of wholesale contracts that the company is in the process of divesting. A summary of those pre-tax charges (credits) is as follows (millions of dollars):

	First Quarter 2005	Second Quarter 2005	Year-to-Date
Mark-to-market on long-term wholesale electricity contracts	$ 294.3	$ 64.2	$ 358.5
Mark-to-market on retail marketing supply contracts and other wholesale contracts	(105.4)	5.4	(100.0)
Totals	$ 188.9	$ 69.6	$ 258.5

Second Quarter: The $64.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, relates to the change since March 31, 2005 in the negative mark-to-market on certain long-term below-market wholesale electricity contracts. The decision in March 2005 to exit the wholesale marketing business changed managements conclusion regarding the likelihood that these wholesale marketing contracts would result in physical delivery to customers. This in turn resulted in a change in the first quarter of 2005 from accrual accounting to fair value accounting for the wholesale marketing contracts. NU Enterprises is seeking to divest these contracts.

The $5.4 million relates to a decrease in the mark-to-market on certain retail marketing supply contracts and other wholesale contracts related to electricity for delivery to customers primarily in 2005 and 2006.

Included in the mark-to-market on long-term wholesale electricity contracts is a $15.7 million and $70.2 million pre-tax mark-to-market charge for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, related to an intercompany contract between Select Energy and CL&P. The contract extends through 2013 at below current market prices for CL&P. This contract is part of CL&Ps stranded costs, and benefits received by CL&P under this contract are provided to CL&Ps ratepayers. A $2.8 million pre-tax mark-to-market charge for the three months ended March 31, 2005, was recorded as wholesale contract market changes by Select Energy for the intercompany contract between Select Energy and WMECO for default service from April to June of 2005. There were no wholesale contract market changes in the second quarter of 2005 as this contract expired on June 30, 2005. WMECOs benefits under this contract will be provided to ratepayers in the form of lower than market default service rates. These charges were not eliminated in consolidation because on a consolidated basis NU retains the over-market obligation to the ratepayers of CL&P and WMECO.

First Quarter: The $294.3 million first quarter 2005 loss in the above table was reflected as follows in the first quarter Form U-9C-3:

$257.7 million pre-tax mark-to-market loss on long-term wholesale electricity contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was previously included in restructuring and impairment charges;

$36.6 million pre-tax mark-to-market contract asset write-offs were previously included in restructuring and impairment charges. These mark-to-market contract asset write-offs directly related to the long-term wholesale electricity contracts.

The $105.4 million first quarter 2005 gain in the above table was reflected as follows in the first quarter Form U-9C-3:

$94 million pre-tax mark-to-market gains on retail marketing supply contracts which NU Enterprises was seeking to divest. During the second quarter of 2005, management elected to retain some of these contracts. Changes in the mark-to-market for those contracts which are being retained are and will continue to be reflected in fuel, purchased and net interchange power. Originally, retail electric supply was sourced along with the wholesale supply by the wholesale marketing business. As a result of the decision to exit the wholesale marketing business, these purchase contracts with a positive market value of $94 million at March 31, 2005 were required to be marked-to-market.

$25.8 million of pre-tax mark-to-market gains on other wholesale contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was previously included in restructuring and impairment charges;

$14.4 million pre-tax loss primarily associated with a contract termination payment was previously included in restructuring and impairment charges.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges and Assets Held For Sale

Restructuring and Impairment Charges: NU Enterprises recorded $2 million and $41.9 million of pre-tax restructuring and impairment charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 for the companies included in this Form U-9C-3 related to the decision to exit the wholesale marketing business and to divest its energy services businesses. A summary of those pre-tax charges is as follows (millions of dollars):

	First Quarter 2005	Second Quarter 2005	Year-to-Date
Merchant Energy:
Impairment Charges	$ 7.2	$ -	$ 7.2
Restructuring Charges	-	1.0	1.0
Subtotal	7.2	1.0	8.2
Energy Services:
Impairment Charges	32.7	0.8	33.5
Restructuring Charges	-	0.2	0.2
Subtotal	32.7	1.0	33.7
Totals	$39.9	$2.0	$41.9

On March 9, 2005, NU announced that it had completed its comprehensive review of the NU Enterprises businesses. In the first quarter of 2005, an exclusivity agreement intangible asset totaling $7.2 million related to the merchant energy business was written off.

NU Enterprises has hired an outside firm to assist in valuing its energy services businesses and their divestiture. Based in part on that firm's work, the company concluded that $27.6 million of goodwill associated with those businesses and $5.1 million of intangible assets were impaired as of March 31, 2005. An impairment charge of $32.7 million was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

In the second quarter of 2005, pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $1 million were recorded by merchant energy related to professional fees, employee-related and other costs. In the second quarter of 2005, the energy services businesses recorded an additional impairment charge of $0.8 million due to the impairment of certain fixed assets and other pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $0.2 million related to professional fees, employee-related and other costs in conjunction with the divestiture of the energy services businesses. Additional restructuring charges will be recognized as incurred and may include net losses on the disposition of wholesale marketing contracts (including the value of full requirements electricity contract quantities to be delivered in excess of their notional amounts recognized in wholesale market contract changes), professional fees and employee-related and other costs.

Assets Held for Sale: On March 9, 2005, NU Enterprises announced that it would explore ways to divest its energy services businesses in a manner that would maximize their value. Certain assets and liabilities of Select Energy Contracting, Inc. - New Hampshire (SECI-NH), a division of Select Energy Contracting that provides mechanical and electrical contracting services in new construction and service contracts, are currently being accounted for as held for sale, at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. SECI-NH is reported as part of the services and other segment of NU Enterprises. Management expects to complete this sale by the end of 2005.

For SECI-NH, the major classes of assets and liabilities held for sale were accounts receivable of $5 million and accounts payable of $3 million.

Derivative Instruments, Market Risk Information and Other Risk Management Activities

Derivative Instruments

Contracts that are derivatives and do not meet the definition of a cash flow hedge and cannot be designated as being used for normal purchases or normal sales are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. For those contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and meet the cash flow hedge requirements, the changes in the fair value of the effective portion of those contracts are generally recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until the underlying transactions occur. For contracts that meet the definition of a derivative but do not meet the hedging requirements, and for the ineffective portion of contracts that meet the cash flow hedge requirements, the changes in fair value of those contracts are recognized currently in earnings. Derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges and the item they are hedging are both recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recognized currently in earnings. Derivative contracts that are entered into as a normal purchase or sale and will result in physical delivery, and are documented as such, are recognized in revenue and expense when such deliveries occur.

There was a negative pre-tax impact of $0.3 million recognized in earnings in the second quarter 2005 for the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. A negative pre-tax $0.7 million was recognized in earnings in the second quarter 2005 for the ineffective portion of fair value hedges. The changes in the fair value of both the fair value hedges and the natural gas inventory being hedged are recorded in earnings.

The table below summarizes current and long-term derivative assets and liabilities at June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2005, derivative assets and liabilities have been segregated between wholesale, retail and hedging amounts. Management is in the process of divesting the contracts included in the wholesale category as a result of the March 9, 2005 decision to exit this portion of the business.

(Millions of Dollars)	Assets		Liabilities
	Current	Long-Term	Current	Long-Term	Net Total
NU Enterprises:
Wholesale	$203.6	$182.5	$(286.1)	$ (350.0)	$ (250.0)
Retail	17.1	5.8	(1.3)	(0.4)	21.2
Hedging	7.3	3.1	(6.3)	-	4.1
Total	$228.0	$191.4	$(293.7)	$(350.4)	$(224.7)

The business activities of NU Enterprises that result in the recognition of derivative assets include concentrations of credit risk to energy marketing and trading counterparties. At June 30, 2005, Select Energy had $419.4 million of derivative assets from retail, wholesale, and hedging activities. These assets are exposed to counterparty credit risk. However, a significant portion of these assets is contracted with investment grade rated counterparties or collateralized with cash.

The amounts above do not include option premiums paid, which are recorded as prepayments and amounted to $14.6 million related to wholesale activities at June 30, 2005. These amounts also do not include option premiums received, which are recorded as other current liabilities and amounted to $13.3 million related to wholesale activities at June 30, 2005.

NU Enterprises - Wholesale: Certain derivative contracts are part of Select Energy's wholesale activities that the company is in the process of exiting. These contracts also include other wholesale and retail short-term and long-term electricity supply and sales contracts, which include contracts to sell electricity to utilities under full requirements contracts and contracts to sell electricity to municipalities with terms up to eight remaining years. The fair value of the natural gas contracts was primarily determined by prices provided by external sources and actively quoted markets. The fair value of electricity contracts was determined by prices from external sources for years through 2008 and by models based on natural gas prices and a heat-rate conversion factor to electricity for subsequent periods. In addition, to gather market intelligence and utilize this information in risk management activities for the wholesale marketing activities, Select Energy conducted limited energy trading activities in electricity, natural gas, and oil, and therefore, experienced net open positions. Select Energy manages open trading positions with strict policies that limit its exposure to market risk and require daily reporting to management of potential financial exposures. Derivatives used in wholesale activities are recorded at fair value and included as derivative assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period of change. The net fair value position of the wholesale portfolio at June 30, 2005 was a liability of $250 million.

NU Enterprises - Retail: Select Energy manages its portfolio of retail marketing contracts to maximize value while operating within NU's corporate risk tolerance. Select Energy generally acquires retail customers in smaller increments than it acquired wholesale customers, which while requiring careful sourcing, allows energy purchases to be acquired in smaller increments with lower risk. However, fluctuations in prices, fuel costs, competitive conditions, regulations, weather, transmission costs, lack of market liquidity, plant outages and other factors can all impact the retail business adversely from time to time.

From time to time, the retail marketing business line is required to enter into contracts that cannot immediately receive accrual accounting and therefore, changes in fair value are required to be marked-to-market via the income statement.

Derivatives used in retail activities are recorded at fair value and included as derivative assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in earnings in the period of the change. The net fair value position of the retail portfolio at June 30, 2005 was an asset of $21.2 million.

Select Energy's retail portfolio includes New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) futures, financial swaps, and options, the fair value of which is based on closing exchange prices; over-the-counter forwards, and financial swaps, the fair value of which is based on the mid-point of bid and ask market prices; and bilateral contracts for the purchase or sale of electricity or natural gas, the fair value of which is determined using available information from external sources, financial transmission rights and transmission congestion contracts, the fair value of which is based on historical settlement prices as well as external sources.

NU Enterprises - Hedging: Select Energy utilizes derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures and forward contracts, to reduce market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity and natural gas purchased to meet firm sales and purchase commitments to certain retail customers. Select Energy also utilizes derivatives, including price swap agreements, call and put option contracts, and futures and forward contracts to manage the market risk associated with a portion of its anticipated supply and delivery requirements. These derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedging instruments and are used to reduce the market risk associated with fluctuations in the price of electricity or natural gas. A derivative that hedges exposure to the variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction (a cash flow hedge) is initially recorded at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Cash flow hedges impact net income when the forecasted transaction being hedged occurs, when hedge ineffectiveness is measured and recorded, when the forecasted transaction being hedged is no longer probable of occurring, or when there is accumulated other comprehensive loss and the hedge and the forecasted transaction being hedged are in a loss position on a combined basis.

Select Energy maintains natural gas service agreements with certain customers to supply gas at fixed prices for terms extending through 2010. Select Energy has hedged its gas supply risk under these agreements through NYMEX futures contracts. Under these contracts, which also extend through 2010, the purchase price of a specified quantity of gas is effectively fixed over the term of the gas service agreements. At June 30, 2005 the NYMEX futures contracts had notional values of $44.9 million and were recorded at fair value as derivative assets totaling $6.4 million and derivative liabilities of a negative $0.4 million.

Select Energy also maintains various physical and financial instruments to hedge its electric and gas purchases and sales through 2006. These instruments include forwards, futures, options, financial collars, financial transmission rights and swaps. These hedging contracts, which are valued at the mid-point of bid and ask market prices, were recorded as derivative assets of $4 million and derivative liabilities of $6 million at June 30, 2005.

Select Energy hedges certain amounts of natural gas inventory with gas futures, options and swaps, some of which are accounted for as fair value hedges. Changes in the fair value of hedging instruments and natural gas inventory are recorded in earnings. The change in fair value of the futures, options and swaps were included in derivative liabilities and amounted to $0.7 million at June 30, 2005. The change in fair value of the hedged natural gas inventory was $37,000 at June 30, 2005.

Market Risk Information

Select Energy utilizes the sensitivity analysis methodology to disclose quantitative information for its commodity price risks (including where applicable capacity and ancillary components). Sensitivity analysis provides a presentation of the potential loss of future earnings, fair values or cash flows from market risk-sensitive instruments over a selected time period due to one or more hypothetical changes in commodity price components, or other similar price changes. Under sensitivity analysis, the fair value of the portfolio is a function of the underlying commodity components, contract prices and market prices represented by each derivative contract. For swaps, forward contracts and options, fair value reflects management's best estimates considering over-the-counter quotations, time value and volatility factors of the underlying commitments. Exchange-traded futures and options are recorded at fair value based on closing exchange prices.

NU Enterprises - Retail Marketing and Generation Portfolios: When conducting sensitivity analyses of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity, natural gas and oil on the retail marketing and generation portfolios, which would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity, natural gas and oil, the fair values of the contracts are determined from models that take into consideration estimated future market prices of electricity, natural gas and oil, the volatility of the market prices in each period, as well as the time value factors of the underlying commitments. In most instances, market prices and volatility are determined from quoted prices on the futures exchange.

Select Energy has determined a hypothetical change in the fair value for its retail marketing and generation portfolios, which includes cash flow and fair value hedges and electricity, natural gas and oil contracts, assuming a 10 percent change in forward market prices. At June 30, 2005, a 10 percent increase in market price would have resulted in a pre-tax increase in fair value of $150.5 million ($94.8 million after-tax) and a 10 percent decrease would have resulted in a pre-tax decrease in fair value of $148.2 million ($93.4 million after-tax).

The impact of a change in electricity, natural gas and oil prices on Select Energy's wholesale and retail marketing portfolio at June 30, 2005, is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts are physically delivered. Most contracts in the retail marketing and generation portfolios are accounted for at delivery, and changes in fair value are not expected to impact earnings.

NU Enterprises Wholesale Transactions to be Divested: Wholesale contracts include contracts that were marked-to-market. These contracts included certain long-term below market wholesale electricity contracts, certain shorter-term wholesale contracts of three years or less and certain wholesale electricity positions that were obtained to support Select Energy's retail marketing contracts. At June 30, 2005, Select Energy has calculated the market price resulting from a 10 percent change in forward market prices of those contracts. A 10 percent increase would have resulted as a pre-tax decrease in fair value of $76.6 million ($48.4 million after-tax) and a 10 percent decrease would have resulted in a pre-tax increase in fair value of $75.6 million ($47.6 million after-tax) for the restructuring transactions.

The impact of a change in electricity and natural gas prices on Select Energy's wholesale transactions at June 30, 2005, are not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts are physically delivered. These transactions are accounted for at fair value, and changes in market prices impact earnings.

Other Risk Management Activities

Credit Risk Management: Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that NU would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of its contractual obligations. NU serves a wide variety of customers and suppliers that include IPPs, industrial companies, gas and electric utilities, oil and gas producers, financial institutions, and other energy marketers. Margin accounts exist within this diverse group, and NU realizes interest receipts and payments related to balances outstanding in these margin accounts. This wide customer and supplier mix generates a need for a variety of contractual structures, products and terms which, in turn, requires NU to manage the portfolio of market risk inherent in those transactions in a manner consistent with the parameters established by NUs risk management process.

Credit risks and market risks at NU Enterprises are monitored regularly by a Risk Oversight Council operating outside of the business lines that create or actively manage these risk exposures to ensure compliance with NU's stated risk management policies. These risk management policies are being revised in light of NU Enterprises' change in focus from wholesale marketing to retail marketing and merchant generation.

NU tracks and re-balances the risk in its portfolio in accordance with fair value and other risk management methodologies that utilize forward price curves in the energy markets to estimate the size and probability of future potential exposure.

NYMEX traded futures and option contracts cleared off the NYMEX exchange are ultimately guaranteed by NYMEX to Select Energy. Select Energy has established written credit policies with regard to its counterparties to minimize overall credit risk on all types of transactions. These policies require an evaluation of potential counterparties financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances (including cash in advance, letters of credit, and parent guarantees), and the use of standardized agreements, which allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. This evaluation results in establishing credit limits prior to Select Energy entering into energy contracts. The appropriateness of these limits is subject to continuing review. Concentrations among these counterparties may impact Select Energys overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes to economic, regulatory or other conditions.

At June 30, 2005, Select Energy maintained collateral balances from counterparties of $102.2 million. This amount is included in other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Select Energy also has collateral balances deposited with counterparties of $82.2 million at June 30, 2005.
