                             CH ENERGY GROUP, INC.
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

     The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of CH Energy Group, Inc.
(herein the Corporation) are unaudited but, in the opinion of management,
reflect adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. In addition,
the results of operations for the prior year have been restated to reflect fully
consolidated results following the formation of the holding company referred to
in Note 2 below. These condensed unaudited quarterly Consolidated Financial
Statements do not contain the detail or footnote disclosures concerning
accounting policies and other matters which would be included in annual
Consolidated Financial Statements and, accordingly, should be read in
conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements (including the
Notes thereto) included in the Corporation's Annual Report, on Form 10-K, for
the year ended December 31, 1999(Corporation's 10-K Report).

     Due to the seasonal nature of the Corporation's operations, financial
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends for a
twelve-month period.

NOTE 2 - REGULATORY MATTERS

     Reference is made to the caption "Impact of Settlement Agreement on
Accounting Policies," hereinafter the (Settlement Agreement), of Note 2 -
Regulatory Matters, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Corporation's 10-K Report.

     At June 30, 2000, net regulatory assets of its wholly-owned affiliate,
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation (Central Hudson) associated with the
fossil-fueled generating assets were not material.

REGULATORY FILING

     Reference is made to the caption "Impact of Settlement Agreement on
Accounting Policies," of Note 2 - Regulatory Matters, to the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Corporation's 10-K Report.

     On August 1, 2000 Central Hudson filed with the Public Service Commission
of the State of New York (PSC) a Competitive Transition Filing (Filing) to
succeed the Settlement Agreement of 1998 reached with the PSC. The Filing
addresses Central Hudson's transition from a vertically-integrated utility to a
transmission and distribution utility and will restructure delivery prices.
Central Hudson also proposes to invest some portion of the premium received from
the sale of its interests in the Roseton

                                      -6-
<PAGE>


Electric Generating Plant (Roseton Plant) and the Danskammer Point Electric
Steam Generating Station (Danskammer Plant) to accelerate the rebuilding of
portions of the electric delivery network to provide customers with even greater
levels of reliability than achieved to date. The Filing also addresses the
unbundling of gas prices into delivery and natural gas components. New electric
and gas delivery prices would go into effect on June 30, 2001 at the expiration
of the Settlement Agreement.

HOLDING COMPANY RESTRUCTURING

     As reported under the caption "Competitive Opportunities Proceeding
Settlement Agreement" in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
included in the Corporation's 10-K Report, Central Hudson received approval from
its shareholders and regulators to form a holding company, which restructuring
occurred on December 15, 1999. As of June 30, 2000, $28.0 million of the $100
million authorized by the PSC under the Settlement Agreement has been
transferred to the Corporation's competitive business affiliate. As reported in
the Corporation's Current Report, on Form 8-K, dated March 9, 2000, by Order
issued and effective March 7, 2000, the PSC amended the Settlement Agreement
with respect to an extension of the time by which Central Hudson can transfer up
to $100 million, through its holding company parent corporation, CH Energy
Group, Inc. (Energy Group), to its competitive business affiliate.

NEW YORK STATE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OPERATOR (NY ISO)

     As reported under the caption "Independent System Operator" in Note 2 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation's 10-K Report,
the newly-established NY ISO, successor to the New York Power Pool, began
operations in November 1999. The combination of a tight market for generating
capacity in New York State and increasing fuel costs has caused prices for
electricity on the wholesale market to increase. Neighboring utilities have
projected price increases to their customers of 20% or more during the summer.
Continued ownership of the Danskammer and Roseton Plants through the summer
period may help Central Hudson to moderate price increases to its customers. The
tight market may not only present an opportunity for Central Hudson to sell
excess capacity from its regulated power plants, but also for the Corporation's
competitive business subsidiary, CH Resources, Inc. to sell the output of its
generating plants on better terms.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENTS AND RELATED INFORMATION

     SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information," was adopted by Central Hudson during the fourth quarter of 1998
(see Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Corporation's 10-K Report).

                                      -7-
<PAGE>


     The Corporation's primary reportable operating segments are the regulated
electric and gas operations of Central Hudson and unregulated operations which
consist of the subsidiaries of Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. (Services),
the Corporation's competitive business affiliate. All of the segments currently
operate in the northeast region of the United States.

     Certain additional information regarding these segments is set forth in the
following table. General corporate expenses, property common to both segments
and depreciation of such common property have been allocated to the segments in
accordance with practices established for regulatory purposes.

NOTE 4 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACCOUNTING: Reference is made to the caption "New
Accounting Standards and Other FASB Projects" of Note 1 - Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Corporation's 10-K Report. In June 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 138 which amends FASB Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Amendment
provisions potentially affecting the Corporation relate to the normal purchases
and sales exception and interest rate risk. The normal purchases and sales
exception may now be applied to contracts that implicitly or explicitly permit
net settlement and contracts that have a market mechanism to facilitate net
settlement. Normal purchases and normal sales are contracts that provide for the
purchase or sale of something other than a financial or derivative instrument
(e.g., fuel, electric and gas purchases) that will be delivered in quantities
expected to be used or sold by the reporting entity over a reasonable period in
the normal course of business. The Corporation believes that the implementation
of FASB 133, as amended by FASB 137 (which amended the effective date to fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 1999) and FASB 138, will not have a material
impact on its financial position or results of operations. The implementation of
FASB 133 for the Corporation is required by January 1, 2001 or sooner.

     PLANT DECOMMISSIONING: Reference is made to the caption "New Accounting
Standards and Other FASB Projects" of Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 10-K
Report. On February 17, 2000, the FASB issued an exposure draft proposing to
amend the initial FASB exposure draft entitled "Accounting for Certain
Liabilities Related to Closure and Removal of Long-Lived Assets." The February
17, 2000 exposure draft, "Accounting for Obligations Associated with the
Retirement of Long-Lived Assets," is proposed to be effective for financial
statements for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2001. In the third quarter
of 2000, FASB will begin redeliberations of certain issues raised in the comment
letters received to date and a Final Statement is expected to be issued in the
first quarter of 2001. The Corporation can make no prediction at this time as to
the ultimate form of this proposed accounting standard, assuming it is adopted,
nor can it make any prediction as to its ultimate effect(s) on the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Corporation.

     Reference is made to the caption "New Accounting Standards and Other FASB
Projects" of Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 10-K Report. On June 30,
2000, FASB issued a proposed statement entitled "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and for Obligations Associated with

                                      -10-
<PAGE>


Disposal Activities." The proposed statement would establish accounting
standards for the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and for
the long-lived assets to be disposed of, including segments of a business
previously covered by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions." Comments are due back to FASB by October 13, 2000
which proposes the statement be effective for financial statements for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Corporation can make no prediction
at this time as to the ultimate form of such proposed accounting standard,
assuming it is adopted, nor can it make any prediction as to its ultimate
effect(s) on the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
the Corporation.

NOTE 5 - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

     The Corporation's shareholders approved, at their annual meeting on April
25, 2000, a Long-Term Performance-Based Incentive Plan (Plan) for executive
officers and other key employees, effective January 1, 2000. The Plan provides
for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock
awards, performance shares and performance units. No participant may be granted
total awards in excess of 150,000 shares over the life of the Plan. The
aggregate number of shares available for the grant of awards is 500,000, subject
to adjustment in the event of a change in the Corporation's capitalization.
Shares awarded may be authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, open
market shares or any combination thereof.

     A total of 30,300 stock options were granted by the Corporation's Board of
Directors for calendar year 2000 exercisable over a period of 10 years with 40%
vesting after two years and 20% each year for the following three years. The
exercise price is $31.94 per share and the market price at the grant date of
April 25, 2000 was $32.00. The exercise price of $31.94 was established by the
Board of Directors' Committee on Compensation and Succession/Retirement based on
the average market price (as traded on the New York Stock Exchange) on January
5, 2000. None of the options have been exercised to date. The Board of Directors
also approved a total of 6,380 shares for performance share targets for calendar
year 2000 on the basis of achieving superior total shareholder return as
measured against an industry index.

     The Corporation, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," has elected to
account for stock-based employee compensation under the provisions of APB
Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related
interpretations. No compensation cost related to the Plan was recorded because


                                      -11-
<PAGE>

amounts were determined to be immaterial to the Corporation's financial
position, results of operations or liquidity of the Corporation.

NOTE 6 - NEW YORK STATE TAX CHANGES

     On May 15, 2000 changes to the New York State tax laws were signed into
law, effective January 1, 2000. The tax law repealed the .75 percent tax on
gross earnings and the excess dividends tax under Section 186 of the New York
State Tax Law and replaced it with an income-based tax under Article 9-A. The
tax under Section 186-a, on the furnishing of utility services, was restructured
and reduced. Preliminary estimates indicate that the new tax law will increase
state tax expense $1.4 million in the year 2000 and $.7 million in 2001, with a
reduction of $.7 million in 2002, and a cumulative reduction in 2003. The net
effect of all these tax changes will be deferred for future rate treatment.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Corporation faces a number of contingencies which arise during the
normal course of business and which have been discussed in Note 9 - Commitments
and Contingencies, to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the
Corporation's 10-K Report. Except for what is disclosed in Part II of this
Quarterly Report, on Form 10-Q, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2000,
and all documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
in 2000, there have been no material changes in the subject matters discussed in
said Note 9.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The growth of retained earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2000
contributed to the increase in the book value of common stock from $28.80 at
December 31, 1999 to $29.18 at June 30, 2000 and the increase in the common
equity ratio from 50.4% at December 31, 1999 to 50.5% at June 30, 2000.

     On June 13, 2000, Central Hudson issued $40 million of unsecured Medium
Term Notes, bearing a coupon of 7.32% and maturing on June 13, 2001. The
proceeds from the sale of these Notes was used to finance maturing First
Mortgage Bonds and for general corporate purposes.

     As part of the holding company restructuring referred to in Note 2 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein, the Corporation, in December
1998, established a revolving credit agreement with three commercial banks for
borrowing up to $50


                                      -12-
<PAGE>


million through December 4, 2001. Such revolving credit facility was increased
in size to $170 million, effective July 10, 2000.

     Central Hudson has $50 million of committed short-term credit facilities
available, and has also entered into a revolving credit agreement with several
commercial banks. Authorization from the PSC limits the short-term borrowing
amount Central Hudson may have outstanding, at any time, to $52 million in the
aggregate.

     Services has entered into a $10.5 million revolving credit agreement with
several commercial banks.

     At June 30, 2000, the Corporation had $40.5 million of short-term debt
outstanding. Investments in short-term securities, including cash and cash
equivalents, were $11.6 million at the end of June 2000.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Earnings per share of common stock were $.47 for the second quarter of
2000, as compared to $.51 for the second quarter of 1999, a decrease of 8%.
Earnings per share of common stock were $1.54 for the first six months ended
June 30, 2000, as compared to $1.59 for the first six months ended June 30,
1999, a decrease of 3%.

     The decrease in earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to the same period in 1999, resulted primarily from the increase in
operating and maintenance costs (O&M) incurred by Central Hudson. The increase
results largely from costs incurred for normal storm restoration efforts. The
increase in costs also reflects a significant increase in workers' compensation
insurance and employee benefits costs due to substantial dividends received last
year. In addition, there was a reduction in earnings from the competitive
business subsidiaries. This decrease in earnings is due primarily to higher than
expected wholesale energy prices for electricity purchased for retail sales and
startup costs associated with the acquisition of the CH Resources, Inc. Niagara
Falls generating facility. Also contributing to the decrease in earnings per
share was increased depreciation on Central Hudson's utility plant and
equipment.

     These decreases were partially offset by an increase in Central Hudson's
electric utility net operating revenues (net of the cost of fuel, purchased
electricity and revenue taxes). The increase in electric net revenues is due to
an overall increase in sales within the service territory and an increase in the
profits retained by Central Hudson from its sales for resale. Also offsetting
the decreases were an increase in gas utility net operating revenues (net of the
cost of gas and revenues taxes), resulting primarily from an overall increase in
sales; and the

                                      -13-
<PAGE>


net effect of various other items from utility operations, including a reduction
in federal income taxes. Earnings per share were also favorably affected by the
non-recurring financial impact of costs recorded in 1999 related to a New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) consent order for opacity
exceedences at Central Hudson's electric generating plants.

     Earnings per share were unaffected by the major storm in May 2000 due to
the offset of the related costs by the restoration of revenues related to
deferred excess earnings. Thus, these amounts are excluded from the discussion
above regarding O&M costs and electric net revenues.

     The reduction in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as
compared to the same period in 1999, resulted primarily from an increase in O&M
costs, including storm restoration costs, incurred by Central Hudson, increased
workers' compensation insurance and employee benefits costs due to substantial
dividends received last year, and an increase in costs for maintenance of
Central Hudson's electric generating plants. Increased depreciation on utility
plant and equipment also contributed to the reduction in earnings per share.
Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in utility electric and gas
net operating revenues due to increased sales within the service territory and
an increase in the profits retained by Central Hudson from its sales of
electricity for resale.

     In March 2000, the Corporation initiated a 500,000 share common stock
repurchase program for 2000. The number of shares purchased to date did not
materially affect financial results for the first two quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES

     Central Hudson's sales vary seasonally in response to weather conditions.
Generally, electric sales peak in the summer and gas sales peak in the winter.

     Total kilowatthour sales of electricity within Central Hudson's service
territory increased 4% and firm sales of natural gas increased 6% in the second
quarter of 2000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999. For the first six
months ended June 30, 2000, electric sales increased 4% and gas sales to firm
customers increased 5% compared to the same period last year. Changes in sales
from last year by major customer classifications, including energy supplied by
others, are set forth below.

     Billing heating degree days were 4% lower for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 and flat for the six months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same
period in 1999, but during the first six months of 2000 were 5% below what is
considered normal

for this time of year. Cooling degree days were 1% lower for both the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 2000 when compared to the same periods in 1999.

     Interruptible gas sales decreased in both the second quarter and the first
six months of 2000 due largely to a reduction in gas sales for electric
generation.

     Total operating expenses for the second quarter and the first six months of
2000 increased $33.4 million and $55.9 million, respectively, from the
comparable periods in 1999, including an increase in expenses for the
Corporation's competitive business subsidiaries of $4.3 million and $13.6
million, respectively. The remaining increase of $29.1 million for the quarter
and $42.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 related to Central
Hudson operations was driven primarily by an increase in the cost of purchased
electricity, fuel used in electric generation and purchased natural gas and
petroleum. The increase in costs is due to both an increase in electric and gas
sales, including sales for resale, and an increase in the price of fuel. Also,
reflected in this increase is an approximate $3.8 million of storm restoration
costs related to damage inflicted by the severe storms occurring from mid-May to
early June.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDENDS

     Reference is made to the caption "Common Stock Dividends and Price Ranges"
of Part II, Item 7 of the Corporation's 10-K Report, for a discussion of the
Corporation's dividend payments. On June 23, 2000, the Board of Directors of the
Corporation declared a quarterly dividend of $.54 per share, payable August 1,
2000 to shareholders of record as of July 10, 2000.

OTHER MATTERS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the documents incorporated by
reference contain statements which, to the extent they are not recitations of
historical fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (Reform Act). The statements will
contain words such as "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," and other
similar words or expressions. All such forward-looking statements are intended
to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the Reform Act. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks,
uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict. A number of
important factors affecting the Corporation's business and financial results
could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated in the
forward-looking statements. Those factors include weather, energy supply and
demand, developments in the legislative, regulatory and competitive environment,
electric and gas industry restructuring and cost recovery and certain
environmental matters as well as such other factors as set forth in the
Corporation's 10-K Report and all documents subsequently filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to
update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A of the Corporation's 10-K Report for
a discussion of market risk. The Corporation's balance sheet at June 30, 2000
reflects amounts for the change in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments which were used to hedge commodity transactions. The amounts
recorded are not material to the Corporation's financial position or results of
operations.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     (a) ASBESTOS LITIGATION. For a discussion of lawsuits against Central
Hudson involving asbestos, see Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies, under the
caption "Asbestos Litigation," in Part II, Item 8 of the Corporation's 10-K
Report.

     As of August 8, 2000, 282 new cases involving asbestos have been brought
against Central Hudson of the type described under such caption and subject to
the insurance coverage described under such caption (which insurance does not
extend to punitive damages). As of that date, of the 2,254 cases brought against
Central Hudson, 1,308 remain pending. Of the 946 cases no longer pending against
Central Hudson, 818 have been dismissed or discontinued, and Central Hudson has
settled 128 cases. The Corporation is presently unable to assess the validity of
the remaining asbestos lawsuits; accordingly, it cannot determine the ultimate
liability relating to these cases. Based on information known to the Corporation
at this time, including Central Hudson's experience in settling asbestos cases
and in obtaining dismissals of asbestos cases, the Corporation believes that the
cost to be incurred in connection with the remaining lawsuits will not have a
material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position or results of
operations.

Item 5.  Other Information

     (a)  Nine Mile 2 Plant. Reference is made to Note 3 - Nine Mile 2 Plant
under the caption "General," to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
in the Corporation's 10-K Report and the Part II Item 5(b) of the Corporation's
Quarterly Report, on Form 10-Q, for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2000,
for a discussion of the possible sale of the interests of some of the cotenant
owners in the Nine Mile 2 Plant.

     On June 1, 2000, Central Hudson issued a press release announcing that its
interest in the Nine Mile 2 Plant would be included in an auction of the
interests of certain of the other


                                      -19-
<PAGE>


cotenant owners of that Plant, which press release is filed herewith as Exhibit
99(i)8 and incorporated herein by reference.

     (b)  ROSETON/DANSKAMMER PLANTS AUCTION. Reference is made to the caption
"Competitive Opportunities Proceeding Settlement Agreement" and to the caption
"Auction of Fossil Generation Plants" both in Note 2 - Regulatory Matters, to
the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporation's 10-K Report for a
discussion of the pending auction by Central Hudson of its interest in the
Roseton and Danskammer Plants. On August 8, 2000, Central Hudson announced in a
press release that it, along with Roseton Plant cotenants Consolidated Edison
Company of New York, Inc. (Consolidated Edison) and Niagara Mohawk Power
Corporation (Niagara Mohawk), have agreed to sell their interests in the
Danskammer and Roseton electric generating plants to Dynegy Inc. for $903
million. The plants are located in the town of Newburgh and have a combined
capacity of 1700 megawatts. The press release is filed herewith as Exhibit
99(i)9 and incorporated herein by reference.

     (c)  ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION. Reference is made to the caption
"Environmental Quality Regulation - Central Hudson - Toxic Substance and
Hazardous Wastes" in Item 1 of the Corporation's 10-K Report for a discussion of
the regulations to which Central Hudson is subject with respect to the disposal
of industrial, hazardous and toxic wastes.

     By letter, dated June 2, 2000, from the DEC, Division of Environmental
Enforcement, Central Hudson was requested to provide information regarding the
Orange County Landfill (Site) located in the Township of Goshen, New York. The
Site is listed on the New York State's Inactive Hazardous Waste Disposal site
Registry and the DEC is obtaining information about disposal of wastes at the
Site.

     The DEC, in its letter, states that its records indicate that Central
Hudson or a predecessor entity, did dispose or may have disposed of wastes at
the Site, or that Central Hudson transported wastes to the Site for disposal.

     Central Hudson responded to the request for information on June 30, 2000.
Documents submitted with that response indicate that at least three (3)
shipments of waste may have been disposed of by Central Hudson at the Site, one
of construction waste, one of office and commercial waste and one of asbestos
rubble.

     (d)  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Reference is made to Note 9 - Commitments and
Contingencies under the caption "Environmental Matters," subcaption "Air," to
the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporation's 10-K Report,
for a discussion of the investigation by the New York State Attorney General and
the DEC of power plants in New York State for possible violations of federal and
state air emissions rules on


                                      -20-
<PAGE>


the grounds that major modifications may have been made to the power plants
without obtaining requisite pre-construction permits.

     Central Hudson has been informed by the DEC and by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the EPA has assumed responsibility
for the investigation with respect to Central Hudson, that the investigation
relates to the coal-fired generating units of Central Hudson at the Danskammer
Plant, i.e., Unit No. 3 and Unit No. 4, and that documents previously provided
to the DEC by Central Hudson in connection with this investigation have been
delivered by the DEC to the EPA. By letter dated July 14, 2000, the EPA wrote to
Central Hudson requesting additional documents and other information to assist
the EPA in its investigation. The request from the EPA seeks documents and
information for the period from 1982 to the present. Central Hudson believes
that any required permits were obtained.
