About Northeast Utilities (NU or the Company)

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. (Woods Network), 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:

Generation and Retail Marketing Business: On November 7, 2005, NU announced its decision to exit the remainder of its competitive businesses, including its competitive generation and retail marketing businesses. NU had earlier announced the divestiture of its wholesale marketing and energy services business in March of 2005. Lazard Fréres & Co. LLC has been retained to assist the company in the divestiture of the wholesale marketing, competitive generation, and retail marketing businesses while FMI Corp. has been assisting NU Enterprises in the sale of the energy services businesses.

Management has not yet concluded how the divestiture of Select Energys retail business, NGCs generation assets and the generation assets of HWP will be structured. This will depend in part on market conditions. NU believes that in any event there will be significant accounting consequences that management is evaluating and with respect to which management will reach a conclusion in the fourth quarter. For more information on the divestiture of NU Enterprises see Note 20 Subsequent Events.

Wholesale Marketing Business: NU Enterprises took several steps in the third quarter to reduce its exposure to mark-to-market charges in future quarters. Through October 2005, Select Energy signed eight agreements to terminate wholesale electricity supply contracts with New England municipal electric systems that extend as long as eight years, terminating its wholesale sales obligations in that region. Because most of those contracts were well below the current market price for wholesale electricity, Select Energy agreed to pay counterparties a total of $157 million, of which $131 million was paid in the third quarter. In addition to those eight contracts, Select Energy made a contract termination payment totaling $14.2 million in the first quarter of 2005, agreed in October 2005 to pay a third party $15 million in December 2005 to assume other Select Energy wholesale power contracts in New England beginning on January 1, 2006 and agreed to pay another $55.9 million in December 2005 to terminate approximately 1 million megawatt-hours of net sales obligations. Select Energy is continuing to negotiate with counterparties to sell additional wholesale power obligations through 2008. To date, Select Energy has reached agreements to terminate or assign an estimated net 7.4 million megawatt-hours of wholesale electric sales obligations. Select Energy still has an estimated net 2.4 million megawatt-hours of wholesale obligations through 2013, though sales volumes will likely be affected by weather, economic factors, and each contracts relative price compared with alternative sources of electricity.

Presentation

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. NU is currently evaluating the impact of this legislation.

17.

Wholesale Marketing Contract Changes

NU Enterprises recorded $101.2 million and $359.7 million of pre-tax wholesale contract market changes for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, related to the changes in the fair value of wholesale contracts that the company is in the process of divesting. These amounts are reported as wholesale contract market changes, net on the Select Energy consolidated statements of operations. A quarterly summary of those pre-tax charges/(benefits) is as follows (millions of dollars):

	First Quarter 2005	Second Quarter 2005	Third Quarter 2005	Year-to-Date
Mark-to-market on long-term wholesale electricity contracts	$ 294.3	$ 64.2	$ 80.6	$439.1
Mark-to-market supply contracts previously held for retail marketing and other wholesale contracts	(105.4)	5.4	20.6	(79.4)
Totals	$ 188.9	$ 69.6	$101.2	$359.7

The $80.6 million in the third quarter of 2005 includes the mark-to-market of certain long-dated wholesale electricity contracts in New England and New York with municipal and other customers. The charge reflects negative mark-to-market movements on these contracts between June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 as a result of rising energy prices, partially offset by positive effects of buying out certain obligations in the third quarter at prices less than the June 30, 2005 marks. Also included in the $80.6 million charge is a pre-tax charge of $11.7 million related to a portfolio of contracts that Select Energy assigned to a third-party wholesale power marketer, obligating that marketer to assume responsibility for those contracts that Select Energy had in New England, beginning on January 1, 2006, in exchange for a $15 million payment Select Energy will make in December of 2005. An additional $5.1 million charge from this assignment was recorded as a reduction to revenues.

The $20.6 million third quarter charge includes approximately $37 million relating to certain wholesale contracts in the PJM power pool where NU Enterprises increased its estimates of customer load above its original expectations and an additional $3.1 million charge from the assignment noted above. Offsetting these charges is a net pre-tax benefit of $19.5 million associated with the marking-to-market of the supply contracts that previously were held to serve certain retail electric load and other mark-to-market impacts.

Included in the mark-to-market on long-term wholesale electricity contracts are $44 million and $114.2 million pre-tax mark-to-market charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, related to an intercompany contract between Select Energy and CL&P. This contract was included in the portfolio of contracts Select Energy assigned to a third party wholesale power marketer, and Select Energy will only serve CL&P through December 31, 2005. 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 an 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 or third quarter of 2005 for this contract, as it 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.

For further information regarding these and other wholesale derivative assets and liabilities that are being divested, see Note 19, "Derivative Instruments, Market Risk Information and Other Risk Management Activities" to the Select Energys consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring and Impairment Charges

NU Enterprises recorded $5 million and $46.9 million of pre-tax restructuring and impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 related to the decision to exit the wholesale marketing business and to divest its energy services businesses included in this report on Form U-9C-3. A summary of those pre-tax charges is as follows (millions of dollars):

	Six Months Ended June 30, 2005	Three Months Ended September 30, 2005	Year-to-Date
Merchant Energy:
Impairment charges	$ 7.2	$ -	$ 7.2
Restructuring charges	1.0	4.2	5.2
Subtotal	8.2	4.2	12.4
Energy Services:
Impairment charges	33.5	-	33.5
Restructuring charges	0.2	0.8	1.0
Subtotal	33.7	0.8	34.5
Total restructuring and impairment charges	$ 41.9	$ 5.0	$ 46.9

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

NU Enterprises 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, the energy services businesses and NU Enterprises parent recorded an additional impairment charge of $0.8 million due to the impairment of certain fixed assets.

In the second quarter of 2005, pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $1 million and $0.2 million were recorded by merchant energy and energy services business, respectively, related to professional fees, employee-related and other costs. Similar amounts were recorded in the third quarter of 2005 totaling $4.2 million and $0.8 million for merchant energy and energy services businesses, respectively. Additional restructuring charges will be recognized as incurred and may include professional fees and employee-related and other costs.

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 are not elected as 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. The ineffective portion of contracts that meet the cash flow hedge requirements is 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 of both items recognized currently in earnings. Derivative contracts that are elected and meet the requirements of a normal purchase or sale are recognized in revenues and expenses, as applicable, when the quantity of the contract is delivered.

There was a positive pre-tax impact of $0.8 million recognized in earnings in the third quarter 2005 for the ineffective portion of cash flow hedges. A negative pre-tax $8.4 million was recognized in earnings in the third quarter 2005 for the ineffective portion of fair value hedges; at the same time a positive $9.2 million was recorded in earnings for the change in fair value of the hedged natural gas inventory. The changes in the fair value of both the fair value hedges and the natural gas inventory being hedged totaling a positive $0.8 million above are recorded in purchased power, net interchange power and capacity on Select Energys consolidated statements of operations.

The table below summarizes current and long-term derivative assets and liabilities at September 30, 2005. At September 30, 2005, derivative assets and liabilities have been segregated between wholesale, retail, generation 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)	At September 30, 2005 — Assets		Liabilities
	Current	Long-Term	Current	Long-Term	Net Total
NU Enterprises:
Wholesale	$694.7	$229.4	$(798.2)	$ (365.8)	$ (239.9)
Retail	41.7	4.1	(18.8)	(1.3)	25.7
Generation	-	-	(6.1)	(1.2)	(7.3)
Hedging	40.5	11.8	(30.0)	0.1	22.4
Total	$776.9	$ 245.3	$(853.1)	$(368.2)	$(199.1)

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 September 30, 2005, Select Energy had $1.0 billion of derivative assets from retail, wholesale, generation, 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 amounted to $6.3 million related to wholesale activities at September 30, 2005. These amounts also do not include option premiums received, which amounted to $6.6 million related to wholesale activities at September 30, 2005.

NU Enterprises - Wholesale: Certain electricity and natural gas derivative contracts are part of Select Energy's wholesale marketing business 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 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. The fair value of the natural gas contracts was primarily determined by prices provided by external sources and actively quoted markets. 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. 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 in Select Energys consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in Select Energys consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. The net fair value position of the wholesale portfolio at September 30, 2005 was a liability of $239.9 million.

NU Enterprises - Retail: Select Energy manages its portfolio of retail marketing contracts to maximize value while operating within NU's corporate risk tolerances. 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 enters into contracts that do not immediately meet the criteria for the normal election and accrual accounting. Therefore, changes in fair value are required to be marked-to-market in earnings. Derivatives used in retail activities that do not follow accrual accounting under the normal election are recorded at fair value and included in Select Energys consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in purchased power, net interchange power and capacity in Select Energys consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. The net fair value position of the retail portfolio at September 30, 2005 was an asset of $25.7 million.

Select Energy's retail portfolio also includes New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) futures, financial swaps, and physical power transactions, 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 Generation: Select Energy manages its portfolio of derivative contracts relating to generation activities in order to maximize value while operating within NU's corporate risk tolerances. These derivative contracts include generation-asset-specific sales and forward sales of electricity at hub trading points. The fair value of the generation contracts was determined by prices from external sources and actively quoted markets for the life of the contracts, which extend to the end of 2006. Certain derivatives related to generation activities that do not follow accrual accounting under the normal election are recorded at fair value and included in Select Energys consolidated balance sheets as derivative assets or liabilities. Changes in fair value are recognized in revenues in Select Energys consolidated statements of operations in the period of change. The net fair value position of the generation derivative contract portfolio at September 30, 2005 was a liability of $7.3 million.

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 retail 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 September 30, 2005 the NYMEX futures contracts had notional values of $69.7 million and were recorded at fair value as derivative assets totaling $25.8 million and derivative liabilities of negative $4.4 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, 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 $26.5 million and derivative liabilities of $25.2 million at September 30, 2005.

Select Energy hedges certain amounts of natural gas inventory with gas futures 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 fair value of the futures, options and swaps were included in derivative liabilities and amounted to $9.1 million at September 30, 2005. The fair value of the hedged natural gas inventory was recorded as an increase to purchased power, net interchange power and capacity of $9.2 at September 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 Portfolio: When conducting sensitivity analyses of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity and natural gas on the retail marketing portfolio, which would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity and natural gas, the fair values of the contracts are determined from models that take into consideration estimated future market prices of electricity and natural gas, 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 portfolio, which includes cash flow and fair value hedges and electricity and natural gas contracts, assuming a 10 percent change in forward market prices. At September 30, 2005, a 10 percent increase in market price would have resulted in a pre-tax decrease in fair value of $12.4 million ($7.8 million after-tax) and a 10 percent decrease would have resulted in a pre-tax increase in fair value of $12.7 million ($8 million after-tax).

The impact of a change in electricity and natural gas prices on Select Energy's retail marketing portfolio at September 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 portfolio are accounted for at delivery, and changes in fair value are not expected to impact earnings.

NU Enterprises - Generation Portfolio: When conducting sensitivity analyses of the change in the fair value of Select Energy's electricity on the generation portfolio, which would result from a hypothetical change in the future market price of electricity, the fair values of the contracts are determined from models that take into consideration estimated future market prices of electricity, 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. Models are used for periods beyond 2008.

Select Energy has determined a hypothetical change in the fair value for its generation portfolio, which is comprised of electricity contracts and generation availability, assuming a 10 percent change in forward market prices. At September 30, 2005, a 10 percent increase in market price would have resulted in a pre-tax increase in fair value of $174.6 million ($110 million after-tax) and a 10 percent decrease would have resulted in a pre-tax decrease in fair value of $174.7 million ($110 million after-tax).

The impact of a change in electricity prices on Select Energy's generation portfolio at September 30, 2005, is not necessarily representative of the results that will be realized when these contracts are physically delivered or electricity is generated. Most contracts in the generation portfolio 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 in Select Energys consolidated statements of operations. 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 September 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 $47.9 million ($28.8 million after-tax) and a 10 percent decrease would have resulted in a pre-tax increase in fair value of $47.1 million ($28.3 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 September 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 NUs stated risk management policies.

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, LOCs, 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 September 30, 2005, Select Energy maintained collateral balances from counterparties of $209.5 million. These amounts are included as counterparty deposits on Select Energys consolidated balance sheets. Select Energy also has collateral balances deposited with counterparties of $164.3 million at September 30, 2005. These amounts are included as special deposits on Select Energys consolidated balance sheets.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Exit From Retail Marketing Business and Competitive Generation Business

On November 7, 2005, NU announced it would exit the remainder of its merchant energy business segment, which includes the retail marketing business and the competitive generation business. This decision creates certain loss contingencies that could be material and could include:

The change from accrual accounting to fair value accounting for energy contracts that are derivatives and the resulting recognition of mark-to-market losses or gains on changes in fair value of the contracts.

The impairment of long-lived assets, including generation assets, if expected sales prices are less than their carrying values. The carrying values of Select Energys long-lived assets and the generation assets of NGC and HWP are approximately $10 million and $825 million, respectively.

The recognition of losses associated with settling energy contracts at values different than our mark-to-market at the time of settlement.

The recognition of closure costs such as severance, benefit plan curtailments, and lease termination payments.

The impairment of the $3.2 million of goodwill at the merchant energy segment if expected cash flows that support the fair values of the reporting units is reduced significantly by a decision to sell all or portions of the reporting units at prices less than carrying values.

The impairment of intangible assets with a book value of approximately $2 million if expected cash flows that support them are reduced to below their carrying values.

NU may record charges in the fourth quarter of 2005 associated with these matters. The level of those charges will depend on a number of factors, including how the disposition of those businesses is accomplished.

Wholesale Contract Updates

On October 28, 2005, Select Energy signed a contract with a third party wholesale power marketer to assign certain sales and purchase obligations in New England that extend to 2009. This transaction terminated approximately 1 million megawatt-hours of net sales obligations. Select Energy will pay $55.9 million in December 2005 and recognize a pre-tax loss in the fourth quarter of 2005 of $11.8 million when the termination value for these obligations is compared to the September 30, 2005 mark-to-market.

NU expects, at present price levels, to record a pre-tax charge of $37 million in the fourth quarter to purchase supply for an increase in the load forecasts related to a full requirements contract.
