NOTE 3 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      On May 31, 2002, Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. sold all of its
stock ownership in its subsidiary, CH Resources, Inc., to WPS Power Development,
Inc., a Wisconsin corporation, for $58.2 million in cash. The principal assets
of CH Resources, Inc. were three electric generating facilities. In accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, the financial results for this
subsidiary are reported as "Discontinued Operations."

      The net loss from discontinued operations, net of an income tax benefit of
$1.4 million, was $2.2 million. The gain on disposal of discontinued operations,
net of income taxes of $6.7 million, was $5.7 million. Therefore, the net income
from discontinued operations was $3.5 million.

      The total assets of these operations of $42.6 million at the sale closing
date of May 31, 2002, consisted primarily of fixed assets of $32.3 million,
inventory of $3.2 million and other assets of $7.1 million. The revenues
applicable to these discontinued operations for the period January 1 through May
31, 2002 were $3.6 million.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES -
         STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD ("SFAS") 133

      Reference is made to the caption "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" of Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations' 10-K
Report. The total fair value of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation
derivatives at June 30, 2002 was $914,000 (net unrealized gain), which compared
to a fair value gain at March 31, 2002 of $36.2 million. The reduction in fair
value of $35.3 million resulted from the conversion of Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation's multi-year, transition purchase power agreement ("TPA")
back to its original physical delivery arrangement, effective June 1, 2002. For
the quarter ended June 30, 2002, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation
realized an actual net gain of $299,000 and, for the six months ended June 30,
2002, an actual net loss of $588,000 related to derivative transactions. In
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 71, gains and losses which either
increase or decrease actual energy costs are deferred for pass-back to or
recovery from customers under Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's
electric and gas energy cost adjustment clauses.

      The total fair value of derivatives for Central Hudson Energy Services,
Inc. at June 30, 2002 was $21,000, as compared to an unrealized fair value gain
of $5.2 million at March 31, 2002. The reduction in fair value resulted from the
sale of transmission congestion contracts as part of the sale of CH Resources,
Inc. on May 31, 2002. Derivatives outstanding at quarter-end included a minimal
number of oil put options designated as fair value hedges for the 2002/2003
heating season. The future value of these put options is not expected to be
material. For the six months ended


                                      -19-
<PAGE>

June 30, 2002, actual gains related to oil put options settled were $170,000,
which served to reduce the cost of fuel oil during the heating season just
ended. Fair value hedges settled through June 30, 2002 were highly effective.

      In addition to the above, CH Energy Group, Inc. and certain of its
subsidiaries entered into weather derivative contracts to hedge the effect on
earnings due to significant variations in heating degree days from normal. The
contracts for CH Energy Group, Inc. covered the November 2001 through March 2002
heating season. A total gain of $3.75 million was realized under these
contracts, of which $987,000 was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation entered into a weather derivative
contract to hedge the effect on earnings due to significant variations in
cooling degree days for the cooling season from June 2002 through August 2002.
The estimated unrealized gain for the month of June 2002 was not material to its
results of operations.

NOTE 5 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND OTHER FASB PROJECTS

Rescission of Previous FASB Statements - SFAS 145

      On April 30, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement No. 145 ("SFAS 145"), Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44,
and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. This
Statement updates, clarifies and simplifies existing accounting pronouncements
related to extinguishments of debt, provisions of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980
and lease transactions.

      It is expected that the rescission of Statements 4, 44 and 64 and the
amendment to Statement 13 will have no material impact on CH Energy Group,
Inc.'s or Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's financial condition,
results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities - SFAS 146

      On July 30, 2002, FASB issued Statement No. 146 ("SFAS 146"), Accounting
for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. The standard requires
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when
they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal
plan. Examples of costs covered by the standard include lease termination costs
and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring,
discontinued operations, plant closing, or other exit or disposal activities.

      Previous accounting guidance was provided by the Emerging Issues Task
Force ("EITF") Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee
Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain
Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." Statement 146 replaces Issue 94-3.


                                      -20-
<PAGE>

      Statement 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal
activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

      It is expected that the new accounting standard will have no significant
impact on CH Energy Group, Inc.'s and Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's results of operations at implementation.

FASB Exposure Drafts

      On May 1, 2002, FASB issued an Exposure Draft, Amendment of Statement 133
on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The Exposure Draft would amend
SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to
clarify the definition of a derivative in paragraph 6(b) of SFAS 133 and for
various decisions made as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process.
This proposed Amendment would be effective as of the first day of the first
fiscal quarter beginning after November 15, 2002, which for calendar year
companies is January 1, 2003. The comment period for this Exposure Draft
concluded on July 1, 2002.

      On May 22, 2002, FASB issued an Exposure Draft, Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No.5, 57 and 107.
The exposure draft intends to clarify and expand on existing disclosure
requirements for guarantees, including loan guarantees. It would also require
that at the time a company issues a guarantee, it must recognize a liability for
the fair value or market value of its obligations under the guarantee. The
comment period for this Exposure Draft concluded on June 21, 2002.

      On June 28, 2002, FASB issued an Exposure Draft, Consolidation of Certain
Special-Purpose Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin
("ARB") No. 51. The exposure draft intends to address consolidation by business
enterprises of special-purpose entities ("SPEs") to which the usual condition
for consolidation described in ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements,
does not apply because SPEs have no voting interests or otherwise are not
subject to control through ownership of voting interests. The comment period for
this Exposure Draft concludes on August 30, 2002.

      CH Energy Group, Inc. and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation will
continue to monitor these exposure drafts but can make no prediction at this
time as to the ultimate form of the proposed accounting and reporting changes,
assuming these Amendments are adopted, or as to their ultimate effect(s) on the
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of CH Energy Group,
Inc. or Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets - SFAS 142

      Reference is made to the subcaption "Business Combinations and Intangible
Assets - Accounting for Goodwill" under the caption "New Accounting Standards
and Other FASB Projects" of Note 1 - "Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Corporations' 10-K
Report.

      SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and other intangible assets that have
indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be
periodically reviewed for impairment. The amortization of goodwill related to
all acquisitions made by Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. ceased upon
adoption of SFAS 142 by CH Energy Group, Inc. on January 1, 2002, which
favorably impacted CH Energy Group, Inc.'s results of operations by $393,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2002, and by $799,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2002. SFAS 142 does not currently affect Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation.

      Included in intangible assets are separate identifiable intangible assets,
such as customer lists and covenants not to compete. In accordance with SFAS
142, intangible assets with finite useful lives continue to be amortized over
their useful lives. The useful life assumed for customer lists is 15 years, and
the useful life for covenants not to compete is based on the expiration date of
the covenant. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and goodwill are no
longer amortized, but instead are periodically reviewed for impairment.
Substantially all of Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s intangible assets
are the result of business combinations. Upon implementation of SFAS 142,
Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. tested the goodwill remaining on the
balance sheet for impairment by measuring future expected cash flows using
historical profit margins of the companies acquired by Central Hudson Energy
Services, Inc. and confirmed that there is no impairment.

      The components of amortizable intangible assets of CH Energy Group, Inc.
are summarized as follows (thousands of dollars):

      Amortization expense was $1,365,000 and $2,534,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Amortization expense was $682,000
and $1,279,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001,
respectively. The estimated amortization expense for each of the next five
years, assuming no new acquisitions, is as follows:

                          2002             $2,698,886
                          2003             $2,682,243

                          2006             $2,417,481

      The carrying amount for goodwill, not subject to amortization effective
January 1, 2002, was $46.1 million as of June 30, 2002. During the six months
ended June 30, 2002, the unregulated business segment recognized an impairment
loss of goodwill of $76,000 associated with the assets purchased from an energy
services company specializing in energy efficiency projects and the loss is
included in Other Expense. The causes of the loss were negative cash flows and
staffing reductions relating to the assets acquired.

      Proforma earnings of CH Energy Group, Inc. as a result of the changes
associated with SFAS 142 were as follows:

Long-Lived Assets - SFAS 144

      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 Corporations' 10-K Report.

      Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets ("SFAS
144") requires that long-lived assets be measured at the lower of carrying
amount or fair


                                      -23-
<PAGE>

value less cost to sell. Whether reported in continuing or in discontinued
operations, an impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of the
long-lived assets exceeds its fair value. SFAS 144 also contains specific
accounting and financial reporting criteria for the disposal of a long-lived
asset either by sale or other than by sale. SFAS 144 is effective for CH Energy
Group, Inc.'s 2002 fiscal year.

      Both CH Energy Group, Inc. and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation
have reviewed their assets under these impairment standards and presently have
no impaired assets.

Property, Plant and Equipment

which have been discussed in Note 10 - "Commitments and Contingencies" to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Corporations' 10-K Report.
Except for that which is disclosed in Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2002, and all documents previously
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") in 2002, there have
been no material changes in the subject matters discussed in said Note 10.

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

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

      The growth of CH Energy Group, Inc.'s retained earnings in the first six
months of 2002 contributed to the increase in the per share book value of its
common stock from $30.33 at December 31, 2001, to $30.78 at June 30, 2002, and
the issuance of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's Medium-Term Notes
(described below) contributed to the decrease in the common equity ratio from
62.9% at December 31, 2001, to 59.8% at June 30, 2002.

      On July 25, 2002, the Board of Directors of CH Energy Group, Inc.
authorized a Common Stock Repurchase Program ("Program") to repurchase up to
four million shares, or approximately 25 percent of its outstanding common stock
over the five years beginning August 1, 2002. The Board of Directors has
targeted 800,000 shares for repurchase in the first year of the Program, but has
authorized repurchase of up to 1.2 million shares during the first year. CH
Energy Group, Inc. intends to set repurchase targets each year based on
circumstances then prevailing. CH Energy Group, Inc. reserves the right to
modify, suspend or terminate the Program at any time without notice.


                                      -25-
<PAGE>

      CH Energy Group, Inc. intends to invest approximately $100 million of its
corporate cash reserves in marketable securities and/or liquid mutual funds
pending use of the cash reserves to make capital expenditures, fund
acquisitions, or to repurchase its common stock. The cash reserves may be placed
in vehicles that include, but are not limited to: common stock of utility
companies, investment grade preferred stock, fixed income securities such as
U.S. Treasury and Agency bonds, mortgages, corporate bonds, asset-backed
securities, real estate limited partnerships, master limited partnerships,
mutual funds, and leases.

      CH Energy Group, Inc. expects that the total after-tax return on
investment realized through this investment plan will exceed that available
through money market instruments, but no assurances can be given. The investment
plan may also increase volatility of net income due to gains and losses realized
upon the sale of the investments. Quarterly "mark to market" ("MTM") accounting
will record the change in the market value of the investments on the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. When the investments are sold,
the gain or loss will be recorded on the Income Statement.

      The right to issue up to $100 million of Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's Medium-Term Notes over a three-year period has been authorized by
the New York State Public Service Commission ("PSC"). On March 28, 2002, $33
million of five-year Notes at 5.87%, Series D, and $36 million of ten-year Notes
at 6.64%, Series D, were issued.

      In May 2002, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation repurchased $17.5
million of its 6.20% cumulative preferred stock and $5.0 million of its 6.80%
cumulative preferred stock in order to recalibrate its capital structure as a
result of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's reducing its asset base by
divesting interests in certain generating facilities.

      Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation has $1.5 million of committed
short-term credit facilities available and has also entered into a $75 million
revolving credit agreement with several commercial banks. Authorization from the
PSC limits the short-term borrowing amount Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation may have outstanding at any time to $77 million in the aggregate. As
of June 30, 2002, there was no outstanding balance.

      Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. has a $12.5 million line of credit
with a commercial bank and, as of June 30, 2002, there was no outstanding
balance.

      At June 30, 2002, CH Energy Group, Inc. had no short-term debt
outstanding. Cash and cash equivalents for CH Energy Group, Inc., including
investments in short-term securities, were $264.8 million at the end of June
2002.

      At June 30, 2002, Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation had no
short-term debt outstanding. Cash and cash equivalents, including investments in
short-term securities, were $115.8 million at the end of June 2002.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

      Earnings per share of CH Energy Group, Inc. common stock were $.31 for the
second quarter of 2002, as compared to $.20 for the second quarter of 2001, an
increase of 55%. Earnings per share of common stock were $1.50 for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $1.32 for the first six months of
2001, an increase of 14%.

      Earnings per share for the second quarter of 2002 included $.21 from
discontinued operations, specifically, the net gain realized from the May 31,
2002 sale of Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s stock ownership in CH
Resources, Inc. which included operating losses of the discontinued operations
previously deferred in accordance with applicable accounting principles. The net
gain was partially offset by operating losses incurred by Central Hudson Energy
Services, Inc.'s fuel distribution subsidiaries, SCASCO, Inc. and Griffith
Energy Services, Inc., which typically incur losses during the non-heating
season.

      Earnings per share from CH Energy Group, Inc. also increased for the three
months ended June 30, 2002, due to the amortization of previously deferred
shareholder benefits under a prior regulatory agreement relating to the sale of
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's interests in certain fossil
generation plants, and also due to a reduction in other operating costs,
primarily a reduction in labor costs resulting from efficiency gains and
increased labor resources devoted to capital improvements. Also enhancing
earnings was the net effect of various other items, including a reduction in
income taxes and increased property taxes.

      Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in net interest income
largely due to lower cash balances and lower interest rates. The reduction in
interest income was partially offset by reductions in interest charges and
preferred stock dividends. The decrease in interest charges resulted from the
redemption and repurchase of a number of long-term debt obligations of Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation from May through September of 2001. Preferred
stock dividends decreased due to the partial repurchase by Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation of two issues of its cumulative preferred stock in May
2002. Proceeds from the sale of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's
interests in certain fossil generation plants and its interest in the Unit No. 2
of the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station ("Nine Mile 2 Plant") were
used to fund the redemptions and repurchases. For a discussion on such sales see
Note 2, "Regulatory Matters," under the caption "Sales of Principal Generating
Facilities," in the Corporations' 10-K Report.

      Also reducing earnings was a decrease in Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's gas net operating revenues (net of the cost of gas and revenue
taxes) due to a reduction in own territory firm sales. The reduction largely
reflects a reduction in heating sales to residential and commercial customers
due to warmer weather,


                                      -27-
<PAGE>

largely in April 2002 (heating billing degree-days for the second quarter were
6% lower than those of the same period in 2001). Earnings were also down due to
a decrease in Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's electric net operating
revenues (net of the cost of fuel, purchased electricity and revenue taxes),
primarily due to the elimination of rate moderation credits effective July 1,
2001 (the effective date of the current PSC rate order). This change was
partially offset by an increase in net revenues from sales. Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation also deferred revenues in accordance with its PSC-approved
excess earnings provision (as described in the Corporations' 10-K Report in Note
2, "Regulatory Matters," under the caption, "Rate Proceedings Electric and
Gas"); however, this decrease was offset by a reduction in operations expenses
for its interest in the Nine Mile 2 Plant, sold in November 2001.

      Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

      CH Energy Group, Inc.'s earnings per share for the first six months of
2002, as compared to the same period in 2001, increased $.18. The enhancement in
earnings largely reflects the net result from discontinued operations of CH
Resources, Inc., which was sold on May 31, 2002; the recording of income for the
receipt of stock related to the demutualization of certain insurance companies;
an increase in electric net operating revenues primarily due to a smaller
revenue deferral under Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's excess
earnings provision and a reduction in Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's operating expenses, primarily labor costs. The increase in
earnings was partially offset by a reduction in gas net operating revenues due
to lower sales resulting from warmer weather, a reduction in interest income due
primarily to lower cash balances and lower interest rates and a reduction in
earnings from Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. also reflecting lower sales
by its fuel distribution subsidiaries due to the warmer weather.

      Reference is made to the caption "Earnings" of Part II, Item 7 of the
Corporations' 10-K Report for a discussion of CH Energy Group, Inc.'s projection
of earnings for calendar year 2002 as stated in the Corporations' 10-Q Report
for the period ended March 31, 2002. Based on the impact of the warm weather and
loss of interest income resulting from the prepayment of the five-year
promissory note by Constellation, Inc., arising out of the sale of Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's interest in the Nine Mile 2 Plant (see
caption "Proceeds from Sales of Principal Generating Facilities" of Part II,
Item 7 of the Corporations' 10-K Report), CH Energy Group, Inc. continues to
expect its 2002 earnings per share will be in the range of $2.50 - $2.65 per
share versus its original projection of $2.70 - $2.85 per share.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The following financial review identifies the causes of significant
changes in the amounts of revenues and expenses for CH Energy Group, Inc. and
its subsidiaries (regulated and unregulated), comparing the six-month period
ended June 30, 2002 to the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. The operating
results of the regulated subsidiary reflect Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's electric and gas sales


                                      -28-
<PAGE>

and revenues, and the operating results of the unregulated subsidiary reflect
Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s operations.

OPERATING REVENUES

      CH Energy Group, Inc.'s operating revenues decreased $13.5 million (8%)
for the second quarter of 2002, and decreased $58.9 million (14%) for the first
six months as compared to the comparable periods of 2001. Details of these
revenue changes by electric, gas and unregulated subsidiaries are as follows:

(a)   Includes delivery of electricity and gas supplied by others.

(b)   Both firm and interruptible revenues.

(c)   Includes the deferral and restoration of revenues related to Central
      Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's Customer Benefit Fund (described under
      the caption "Summary of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities" and "Rate
      Proceedings Electric and Gas" in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
      Statements included in the Corporations' 10-K Report) and earnings in
      excess of the rate of return allowance in accordance with the provisions
      of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's current rate order
      (described in said Note 2) and its prior Settlement Agreement.

      Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's electric and gas operating
revenues in the second quarter decreased $6.6 million (5%), from $129.6 million
in the second quarter of 2001 to $123.0 million in the second quarter of 2002.
Electric revenues decreased $5.8 million (6%) and gas revenues decreased
$815,000 (3%). The


                                      -29-
<PAGE>

reduction in total electric revenues was due primarily to a change in rates,
effective November 1, 2001, from Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's
most recent rate order and the deferral of revenues under Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation's excess earnings provisions as described in the
Corporations' 10-K Report, in Note 2 - "Regulatory Matters," under the caption
"Rate Proceedings Electric and Gas." The decrease in electric revenues was
partially offset by an increase in revenues from sales, an increase in electric
supply cost adjustment revenues and an increase in sales for resale revenues.
The reduction in gas revenues was due largely to a decrease in sales from warmer
weather, partially offset by an increase in sales for resale revenues.

      In the first half of the year 2002, as compared to the first half of 2001,
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's electric and gas operating revenues
decreased $32.1 million (11%). Electric revenues decreased $19.5 million and gas
revenues decreased $12.6 million. The reduction in electric revenues was due
primarily to the change in rates resulting from the sale in 2001 of Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's interests in its fossil and nuclear
generating plants, a decrease in sales for resale revenues, and a reduction in
sales to residential and commercial customers due to milder weather. The
reduction in Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's gas revenues was due
largely to decreased sales to residential, commercial and industrial customers,
also resulting from warmer weather.

      Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s second quarter revenues decreased
$6.9 million (19%), from $36.8 million in 2001 to $29.9 million in 2002. The
reduction in revenues primarily reflects the impact ($7.2 million) related to
discontinued operations for Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s electric
generating facilities owned by CH Resources, Inc., which sale was concluded on
May 31, 2002. In accordance with current accounting principles, revenues and
expenses have been eliminated from the results of continuing operations since
December 2001. The cumulative net loss and the gain on that sale are reported
separately from the results of continuing operations in the consolidated income
statement.

      During the first six months of 2002, as compared with the first six months
of 2001, Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s revenues decreased $26.8 million
(24%), from $110.5 million in 2001 to $83.7 million in 2002. The reduction is
primarily attributable to the discontinued operations of CH Resources, Inc., and
also a decrease in sales by the fuel distribution subsidiaries due to warmer
weather.

SALES

      Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation'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 Gas &
Electric Corporation's service territory increased 2% and firm sales of natural
gas (MCF) decreased 5% in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second
quarter of 2001. For the six


                                      -30-
<PAGE>

months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period last year, sales of
electricity within Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's service territory
decreased 1% and firm sales of natural gas decreased 14%. Changes in Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's electric deliveries from last year by major
customer classifications are set forth below.

      Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's billing heating degree days
were 6% lower for the three months and 16% lower for the six months ended June
30, 2002, when compared to the respective periods in 2001. Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation's electric sales to residential and commercial customers
both increased 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the
comparable period in 2001. These sales, however, decreased 4% and 1%,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, due to the warmer weather
as compared to the comparable period in 2001.

      Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's natural gas residential and
commercial sales, largely space heating sales, decreased 8% and 3%,
respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2002, and decreased 15% and
13%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, and industrial sales
decreased by 19% and 18%, respectively, for these three and six month periods,
all as compared to the corresponding periods in 2001. The reduction in sales was
due primarily to the milder weather experienced in 2002. Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation's interruptible gas sales increased 88% and 72%,
respectively, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, as
compared with the same periods ended June 30, 2001. The increase for the
three-month period ended June 30, 2002, was primarily due to an increase in the
volume transported for a large industrial customer and the increase for the six
months ended June 30, 2002, was mainly due to increased usage by commercial and
industrial customers choosing to burn natural gas for economic reasons.

      Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s sales by its fuel distribution
subsidiaries, SCASCO and Griffith, also vary seasonally in response to weather
conditions. The warmer weather also depressed sales by the fuel distribution
companies for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the same period
in 2001.

OPERATING EXPENSES

      CH Energy Group, Inc.'s total operating expenses for the second quarter of
2002 decreased $12.0 million (7%) from the comparable period in 2001. Total
operating expenses decreased $51.1 million (14%) from the first six months of
2001.

      For the second quarter of 2002, Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's total operating expenses decreased $4.3 million (4.0%) from $120.9
million in 2001 to $116.6 million in 2002. This decrease in expense primarily
reflected the elimination of operational costs for Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's interest in the Nine Mile 2 Plant, due to its sale. The decrease
in expense also included a reduction in labor costs due to increased labor
resources devoted to capital improvements. Partially offsetting the reduction
was an increase of $4.0 million in purchased electricity costs due to increased
sales and an increase of $1.7 million in purchased natural gas costs largely
relating to gas costs reconciled under Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's Gas Supply Charge mechanism.

      For the first six months of 2002, Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's total operating expenses decreased $25.8 million (10%), from
$270.4 million in 2001 to $244.6 in 2002. The decrease in expense primarily
reflected the effect of the sale of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's
interests in certain fossil generation plants and its interest in the Nine Mile
2 Plant. The decrease in expenses also reflected a reduction in purchased
natural gas costs and labor costs charged to operations. The cost of natural gas
was down due to lower prices and a decrease in gas sales due to the warmer
weather, while labor costs were reduced due to efficiency gains and increased
labor resources devoted to capital improvements. Largely offsetting the
reduction was a $20.5 million increase in the cost of purchased electricity,
which was partially offset by a reduction of $13.4 million for fuel used in
electric generation. The shift in costs reflected the change from own generation
to market supply generation to satisfy load requirements due to the sale of
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation's interests in certain of its
generating plants. Although electric sales were down because of milder weather,
the net cost of purchased electricity and fuel used in electric generation
increased because the cost of purchased electricity also includes the fixed and
variable production costs of the generating plants supplying the power.

      For the second quarter of 2002, operating expenses for Central Hudson
Energy Services, Inc. decreased $7.7 million, from $39.5 million in 2001 to
$31.8 million in 2002, primarily related to the sale of CH Resources, Inc.
Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc.'s most significant costs are the cost of
its petroleum products and natural gas at its oil distribution companies. These
costs remained relatively flat.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period
from 2001, operating expenses for Central Hudson Energy Services, Inc. decreased
$25.3 million, from $107.2 million in 2001 to $81.9 million in 2002. Energy
supply costs, of which the cost of petroleum is the most significant cost,
decreased $21.1 million due largely to the sale of CH Resources, Inc. and the
lower sales resulting from the warmer


                                      -32-
<PAGE>

weather. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.6 million primarily
related to a change in accounting rules regarding goodwill. Other expenses of
operation, including income taxes, decreased $2.6 million also due largely to
the sale of CH Resources, Inc.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      Reference is made to Part II, Item 7A of Corporations' 10-K Report for a
discussion of market risk. There is no material change in that discussion of
market risks and the practices employed by CH Energy Group, Inc. and Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation to mitigate these risks. See Note 3 -
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - SFAS 133" for
related discussion on this activity.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

      Asbestos Litigation. For a discussion of lawsuits against Central Hudson
Gas & Electric Corporation involving asbestos, see Note 10 - "Commitments and
Contingencies," under the caption "Asbestos Litigation," in Part II, Item 8 of
the Corporations' 10-K Report.

      As of July 31, 2002, a total of 2,957 cases involving asbestos have been
brought against Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation of the type described
under the caption, of which 1,396 remain pending. Of the 1,561 cases no longer
pending against Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation, 1,424 have been
dismissed or discontinued, and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation has
settled 137 cases. CH Energy Group, Inc. and Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation are presently unable to assess the validity of the remaining
asbestos lawsuits; accordingly, they cannot determine the ultimate liability
relating to these cases. Based on information known to CH Energy Group, Inc. and
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation at this time, including Central Hudson
Gas & Electric Corporation's experience in settling and in obtaining dismissals
of asbestos cases, CH Energy Group, Inc. and Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation believe that the cost to be incurred in connection with the
remaining lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on CH Energy Group,
Inc.'s and/or its subsidiaries' financial position or results of operations.

Item 5. Other Information

      Environmental Matters - For a discussion of Central Hudson Gas & Electric
Corporation's environmental remediation, see Note 10 - "Commitments and
Contingencies," to the Consolidated Financial Statements under the caption,
"Former Manufactured Gas Plant Facilities," of the Corporations' 10-K Report.

      As discussed in the above-referenced Note 10 in the Corporations' 10-K
Report, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("NYS DEC")
had approved a conceptual remedial plan prepared by Central Hudson Gas &
Electric Corporation that addressed soil contamination at its Laurel Street
site. The NYS DEC has not approved the final agreement. In June 2002, Central
Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation recorded a $2.5 million liability for
remediation at the Laurel Street site and deferred the expense. Central Hudson
Gas & Electric Corporation's petition to defer the incremental costs of the
investigation and remediation of this site is still under review by the PSC.

      Business Relationship - Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation has a
certain contractual and tariff-based business relationship with Dynegy, Inc. and
its affiliated companies. This relationship includes a transition power
agreement, certain facility rental and service arrangements and indemnification
for certain environmental and litigation exposures. Recently, Dynegy, Inc.'s
financial condition has deteriorated and if such deterioration were to continue,
this business relationship could be affected. However, CH Energy Group, Inc. and
Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation can make no prediction at this time as
to the impact of further deterioration of Dynegy, Inc.'s financial position.

      Griffith - Reference is made to the above-referenced Note 10 in the
Corporations' 10-K Report and to the caption thereunder "CH Services:" for a
discussion of the possibility of a post-closing adjustment relating to the
November 2000 acquisition by Central Hudson Enterprises Corporation from NEES
Energy, Inc. ("NEES") of the assets and business of Griffith Consumer Company,
Inc. ("Griffith"). On August 8, 2002, CH Energy Group, Inc. received an Earnings
Dispute Notice (the "Notice") from NEES concerning the earnout provisions in the
related Asset Purchase Agreement, dated August 30, 2000. The Notice states that
NEES disputes the earnings information provided to it regarding Griffith's
earnings in 2001 and contends that costs were unreasonably incurred and/or
improperly allocated to Griffith, thus reducing the amount of earnings on which
NEES contends it is entitled to receive an earnout payment under the provisions
of the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Notice requests additional information and
suggests that discussions concerning the Notice be deferred until NEES has
received more information regarding the operating results of Griffith for 2001.
CH Energy Group, Inc. is presently unable to estimate the scope of the
discussions NEES wishes to have concerning Griffith's earnings for 2001, or to
predict the outcome of the discussions.
