RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Earnings Overview

The Companys Earnings Applicable to Common Shareholders (Net Income) was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2006, a decrease of $0.1 million compared to the
same period in 2005. Earnings per common share were $0.25 for the second quarter of 2006, a decrease of $0.02 per share compared with earnings of $0.27 per share for the second quarter of 2005. Earnings for the second quarter of 2006 reflect higher
interest and net operating expenses and lower gas sales margins, partially offset by improved margins on electric sales due to the recognition, in the second quarter of 2006, of estimated rate relief for the Companys New Hampshire utility
subsidiary.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2006, net income was $3.4 million compared to $4.2 million in the first six months of 2005.
Through the first six months, earnings per share were $0.61 for 2006 compared with $0.75 per share for 2005, reflecting higher net operating expenses and interest expense and lower electric and gas sales margins in 2006.

Total electric sales in the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were down 0.3% and 0.8%, respectively, in the Companys utility service territories. Sales
to residential customers increased 0.8% in the three month period

ended June 30, 2006 compared to the prior year but decreased 0.7% overall in the six month period compared to the
prior year primarily due to a significantly milder winter heating season in 2006. Sales to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers decreased 1.0% and 0.9% in the three and six month periods, respectively, compared to the prior year periods due
to lower consumption for heating and production purposes.

The Companys New Hampshire utility operating subsidiary, Unitil Energy Systems, Inc. (UES)
filed a request for a base rate increase of $4.65 million with the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (NHPUC) which established temporary rate relief at current rate levels, effective January 1, 2006. Any rate change ultimately awarded
by the NHPUC will be retroactive to January 1, 2006. The rate filing is currently under review, with a NHPUC order anticipated before the end of 2006. Based on the temporary rate order and the current status of proceedings, management has
recorded an estimate of expected revenue and expenses for the first six months of 2006. The estimate includes $1.7 million in estimated revenue and $1.0 million in estimated operating expenses and taxes, a net increase to operating income of $0.7
million.

Electric sales margin increased $0.5 million in the three month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. For the six
month period ended June 30, 2006, electric sales margin decreased $0.3 million compared to the same period in 2005. The lower electric margin for the six months ended June 30, 2006 reflects decreases of $1.8 million related to lower
Seabrook Amortization Surcharge (SAS) and other revenues and $0.2 million related to lower sales volume offset by the recognition of $1.7 million of revenue based on the Companys pending rate filing in New Hampshire, discussed above. This
decrease in SAS revenues reflects the expiration in the fourth quarter of 2005 of the SAS tariff on Regulatory Assets, which is largely matched by a decrease in amortization expenses on Regulatory Assets (see discussion of Depreciation &
Amortization below).

Total sales of natural gas increased 28.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 and
increased 7.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The increases in both of these periods were due to a new contract with a large industrial customer. Absent the sales from this new contract, sales to
C&I customers were approximately 9.1% and 11.7% lower for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Gas sales to residential customers were 13.0% and 11.5% lower for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The declines in residential and C&I sales reflect lower average energy usage by customers during a period of higher energy prices and
significantly milder winter weather in 2006. The weather in the Companys service territories in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately 12% warmer than in the same period for 2005, and the country as a whole experienced a record warm
January.

Gas sales margin decreased $0.3 million and $0.9 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 2005. The decreases in gas margin are attributable to lower sales volume on C&I and residential sales, as discussed above. The Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and Energy (MDTE) is in the process of approving
the margin earned by the Company under the new contract, discussed above. Accordingly, pending the results of this proceeding, the Company is recording revenue from this contract on a reduced basis and therefore the significant increase in gas sales
due to this contract is not matched by a similar increase in sales margin.

Total O&M expense increased $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same periods in 2005. On a year to date basis through June 30, 2006, the increase reflects higher retiree and employee benefit costs of $0.9 million, higher salaries and
compensation expenses of $0.4 million and higher utility operating costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by lower audit and legal fees of $0.2 million and all other expenses, net of $0.1 million compared to 2005.

Depreciation and Amortization expense decreased $0.6 million and $1.5 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2005. These decreases were primarily due to lower amortization on regulatory assets, partially offset by depreciation on normal utility plant additions. The Companys regulatory asset related to its former abandoned property
investment in Seabrook Station became fully-amortized in the third quarter of 2005.

Interest Expense, Net increased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million in
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The change in Interest Expense, Net was primarily driven by a higher weighted average cost of debt in 2006 compared to 2005.

Operating Revenues  Electric

Electric Operating Revenues  Total Electric Operating Revenues, increased by $7.3 million, or 15.8%, and by $17.0 million, or 18.3%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Total Electric Operating Revenues include the recovery of costs of electric sales, which are recorded as Purchased Electricity and Conservation & Load Management (C&LM) in Operating
Expenses. The net increase in Total Electric Operating Revenues in the three month period reflects higher Purchased Electricity costs of $6.8 million and higher sales margin of $0.5 million. The net increase in Total Electric Operating Revenues in
the six month period reflects higher Purchased Electricity costs of $17.4 million, offset by lower sales margin of $0.3 million and lower C&LM revenues of $0.1 million. As discussed above, the Company has recognized $1.7 million of revenues in
the six months ended June 30, 2006 based on the temporary rate order, effective January 1, 2006.

Purchased Electricity and C&LM revenues
increased a net $6.8 million, or 14.8%, and $17.4 million, or 18.8%, of Total Electric Operating Revenues in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005, reflecting higher electric
commodity prices and lower spending on energy efficiency programs that were implemented during those periods. Purchased Electricity revenues include the recovery of the cost of electric supply as well as other energy supply related restructuring
costs, including long-term power supply contract buyout costs. C&LM revenues include the recovery of the cost of energy efficiency and conservation programs. The Company recovers the cost of Purchased Electricity and C&LM in its rates at
cost on a pass through basis.

Electric sales margin (Total Electric Operating Revenues less Cost of Electric Sales) was $14.4 million and $27.3 million in
the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. This represents an increase of $0.5 million in the three month period and a decrease of $0.3 million in the six month period, compared to the same periods in 2005. The lower
sales margin for the six months ended June 30, 2006, reflects decreases of $1.8 million related to lower SAS and other revenues and $0.2 million related to lower sales volume offset by the recognition of $1.7 million of revenue based on the
Companys pending rate filing in New Hampshire, discussed above. The decrease in SAS revenues reflects the expiration in the fourth quarter of 2005 of the SAS tariff on Regulatory Assets, which is largely matched by a decrease in amortization
expenses on Regulatory Assets (see discussion of Depreciation & Amortization below).

Kilowatt-hour Sales - Unitils total electric kWh sales were 0.3% and 0.8% lower in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2005, reflecting customer growth offset by milder weather and a decline in average energy usage as customers appear to be reacting to higher energy prices by better
managing their energy consumption. The weather in the Companys service territories in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately 12% warmer than in the same period for 2005, resulting in lower consumption of electricity for heating. In the
second quarter of 2006 the weather in the Companys service territories was approximately 54% cooler than in the same period for 2005, resulting in lower consumption of electricity for cooling. Sales to residential customers increased 0.8% in
the three month period as compared to the prior year period and decreased 0.7% in the six month period as compared to the prior year period. Sales to commercial and industrial (C&I) customers decreased 1.0% and 0.9% in the three and six month
periods, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.

Operating Revenues - Gas

Gas Operating Revenues  Total Gas Operating Revenues increased $1.3 million, or 26.0%, and $2.4 million, or 13.7%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 2005. Total Gas Operating Revenues include the recovery of the cost of sales, which are recorded as Purchased Gas and C&LM in Operating Expenses. The net increase in Total Gas Operating Revenues in the three month
period reflects higher Purchased Gas costs of $1.6 million, partially offset by lower sales margin of $0.3 million. The net increase in Total Gas Operating Revenues in the six month period reflects higher Purchased Gas costs of $3.3 million, offset
by lower sales margin of $0.9 million.

Purchased Gas and C&LM revenues increased a net $1.6 million, or 32.0%, and $3.3 million, or 18.8%, of Total
Gas Operating Revenues in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same period in 2005, reflecting higher gas commodity prices, higher unit sales and relatively flat spending on energy efficiency
programs that were implemented during those periods. Purchased Gas revenues include the recovery of the cost of gas supply as well as the other energy supply related costs. C&LM revenues include the recovery of the cost of energy efficiency and
conservation programs. The Company recovers the cost of Purchased Gas and C&LM in its rates at cost on a pass through basis.

Gas sales margin (Total
Gas Operating Revenue less the Cost of Gas Sales) was $1.8 million and $5.2 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively. This represents decreases of $0.3 million, or 6.0%, and $0.9 million, or 5.1%, of Total
Gas Operating Revenue in the three and six month periods compared to the same periods in 2005, respectively.

For the three month period, approximately
$0.2 million of the decrease in gas sales margin is due to lower gas sales. Overall, gas sales were 28.9% higher in the second quarter of 2006 than in the same period of 2005, but this increase in gas sales is due to a new contract with a large
industrial customer. Absent the sales from this new contract, gas sales were approximately 11.1% lower for the three month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005. The Massachusetts Department of Telecommunications and
Energy (MDTE) is in the process of approving the margin earned by the Company under the new contract, discussed above. Pending the results of this proceeding, the Company is recording revenue from this contract on a reduced basis and therefore the
significant increase in gas sales due to this contract is not matched by a similar increase in sales margin. The remainder of the decrease in gas sales margin in the three month period is due to changes in the mix of customer billings period over
period.

##### Table of Contents

For the six month period, approximately $0.7 million of the decrease in gas sales margin is due to lower gas sales. Gas
sales were 7.7% higher in the six months ended June 30, 2006 than in the same period of 2005. This increase in sales is due to the new transportation contract with a large industrial customer discussed above. Absent the sales from this new
contract, gas sales were approximately 11.6% lower for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005. The remainder of the decrease in gas sales margin in the six month period is due to changes in the mix of customer
billings period over period.

Therm Sales Unitils total gas sales increased 28.9% in the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005 and increased 7.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the
same period in 2005. The increases in both of these periods were due to a new gas sales contract with a large industrial customer. Absent the sales from this new contract, sales to C&I customers were approximately 9.1% and 11.7% lower for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Gas sales to residential customers were 13.0% and 11.5% lower for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively,
compared to the same periods in 2005. The declines in residential and C&I sales reflect lower average energy usage by customers during a period of higher energy prices and significantly milder winter weather in 2006. The weather in the
Companys service territories in the first quarter of 2006 was approximately 12% warmer than in the same period for 2005, and the country as a whole experienced a record warm January.

Operating Revenue - Other

Total Other Revenue increased $0.2 million, or 35.4%, and $0.2 million, or 25.8% in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. These increases were
the result of growth in revenues from the Companys unregulated energy brokering business, Usource.

Operating Expenses

Purchased Electricity  Purchased Electricity expenses include the cost of electric supply as well as other energy supply related restructuring costs, including long-term power supply contract buyout
costs. Purchased Electricity increased $6.8 million, or 22.0%, and $17.4 million, or 27.5%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005, reflecting higher electric commodity prices.
The Company recovers the costs of Purchased Electricity in its rates at cost on a pass through basis and therefore changes in these expenses do not affect Net Income.

Purchased Gas  Purchased Gas expenses include the cost of gas purchased and manufactured to supply the Companys total gas supply requirements. Purchased Gas increased $1.5 million, or 54.2%, and
$3.3 million, or 29.3%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. These increases in Purchased Gas are attributable to increased therm sales and higher gas commodity costs. The
Company recovers the costs of Purchased Gas in its rates at cost on a pass through basis and therefore changes in these expenses do not affect Net Income.

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) - O&M expense includes electric and gas utility operating costs, and the operating cost of the Companys unregulated business activities. Total O&M expense increased $1.0 million and
$1.1 million in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. For the six month period, the increase reflects higher retiree and employee benefit costs of $0.9 million, higher salaries
and compensation expenses of $0.4 million and higher utility operating costs of $0.1 million, partially offset by lower audit and legal fees of $0.2 million and all other expenses, net of $0.1 million.

##### Table of Contents

Conservation & Load Management  C&LM expenses are associated with the development, management,
and delivery of the Companys Energy Efficiency programs. Energy Efficiency programs are designed, in conformity with state regulatory requirements, to help consumers use natural gas and electricity more efficiently and thereby decrease their
energy costs. Programs are tailored to residential, small business and large business customer groups and provide educational materials, technical assistance, and rebates that contribute toward the cost of purchasing and installing approved
measures. Approximately 90% of these costs are related to electric operations and 10% to gas operations.

Total C&LM expenses decreased less than $0.1
million, or 0.7%, and $0.1 million, or 4.0%, in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The decreases reflect the timing of spending on the implementation of Energy Efficiency
programs. These costs are collected from customers on a pass through basis and therefore, fluctuations in program costs have no impact on Net Income.

Depreciation, Amortization and Taxes

Depreciation and Amortization - Depreciation and Amortization expense decreased $0.6
million, or 11.7% and $1.5 million, or 14.6%, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. These decreases were due to lower amortization on regulatory assets, partially offset by
depreciation on normal utility plant additions. The Companys regulatory asset related to its former abandoned property investment in Seabrook Station became fully-amortized in the third quarter of 2005.

Local Property and Other Taxes - Local Property and Other Taxes increased by $0.1 million, or 5.9%, and $0.1 million, or 3.2%, for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The increase in the three month period was due to higher local property tax rates and higher payroll taxes. The increase in the six month period was due to higher payroll
taxes.

Federal and State Income Taxes - Federal and State Income Taxes were lower by $0.1 million and $0.4 million in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005 reflecting lower pre-tax earnings.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense is presented in the financial statements net of interest income. Interest expense is mainly comprised of interest on long-term
debt and short-term borrowings. Certain reconciling rate mechanisms used by the Companys distribution operating utilities give rise to regulatory assets (and regulatory liabilities) on which interest is calculated.

The Company operates a number of reconciling rate mechanisms to recover specifically identified costs on a pass through basis. These reconciling rate mechanisms track
costs and revenue on a monthly basis. In any given month, this monthly tracking and reconciling process will produce either an under-collected or an over-collected balance of costs. In accordance with the Companys tariff, interest is accrued
on these balances and will produce either interest income or interest expense. Interest income is recorded on an under-collection of costs, which creates a regulatory asset to be recovered in future periods when rates are reset. Interest expense is
recorded on an over-collection of costs, which creates a regulatory liability to be refunded in future periods when rates are reset.

Interest Expense, Net increased by $0.2 million and $0.4 million in the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2006, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Interest expense on long-term borrowings increased in both the three and six month periods in 2006 compared to 2005 due to the issuance of fixed rate long-term debt. In December
2005 Unitils Massachusetts utility subsidiary, FG&E issued $15 million of unsecured long-term notes to institutional investors. Interest expense on short-term debt increased in both the three and six month periods in 2006 compared to 2005
primarily due to higher average short-term interest rates. These increases in interest expense were partially offset by an increase in interest income on regulatory assets primarily due to higher carrying charges on regulatory assets.

Cash provided by operating activities was $11.0
million during the first six months of 2006, a decrease of $2.8 million over the comparable period in 2005. Net Income was $0.8 million lower in the first half of 2006 compared to 2005. Depreciation and Amortization declined by $1.5 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the same period in 2005 reflecting a lower amortization on regulatory assets. The Deferred Tax Provision increased by $1.7 million during the first half of 2006 compared to the same period in 2005,
reflecting a net change between current and deferred income taxes related to changes in Accrued Revenue balances. Cash sources from Accrued Revenue decreased by $3.9 million period over period due to higher energy costs, which will be collected from
customers in future periods. Taxes Payable declined by $2.3 million, reflecting higher tax payments in 2006 compared to 2005. Cash uses for Accounts Payable decreased by $1.5 million compared to last year reflecting a higher level of funding of
energy obligations in 2005. In addition, uses of cash for Deferred Restructuring Costs declined by $2.3 million in the first six months of 2006 compared to the same period last year. Deferred Restructuring Costs are regulatory assets that will be
recovered from customers in future periods. All other changes in cash flows from operating activities were a net increase of $0.2 million in cash provided by operating activities.

Cash used in investing activities was $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 an increase of $4.9 million over the comparable period in 2005. Annual capital expenditures are presently budgeted to be
$33.4 million in 2006 compared to $24.4 million expended in 2005. These 2006 capital expenditures include approximately $6.6 million of cash outlays for the Automated Metering Infrastructure projects, which are expected to be completed in May 2007.
Capital expenditure projections are subject to changes during the fiscal year.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $4.1 million in the first
six months of 2006. In the comparable period of 2005 cash used in financing activities amounted to $4.0 million, a net change between the two periods of $8.1 million. Cash provided for financing activities in the current period includes the proceeds
from short-term bank borrowings of $8.0 million compared to the repayment of $0.2 million of short-term bank borrowings during the same period in 2005. The current period reflects the early repurchase of $0.2 million of preferred stock. Both periods
reflect the payment of dividends to shareholders of approximately $3.9 million. During the first six months

of 2006 and 2005, normal sinking fund payments amounted to approximately $0.2 million during both periods. Both periods
include the proceeds of approximately $0.5 million received from the sale of Unitil Common Stock through the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and 401(k) plans. During the first half of 2005 the Company repaid capital lease obligations
of $0.2 million.

Unitils subsidiary, UES expects to conclude a $15 million First Mortgage Bond issuance on or about September 30, 2006. This
transaction is subject to the approval of the NHPUC and the final approval of UES Board of Directors. The proceeds from this financing will be used principally to reduce short-term debt, and for other corporate purposes. Accordingly, as
discussed below, the Company reduced its unsecured credit lines by $4.0 million as of June 30, 2006.

At June 30, 2006, Unitil had completed the
successful renewal of $40.0 million in unsecured revolving lines of credit through three banks. This represents a reduction from previously unsecured credit lines of $4.0 million. Average daily short-term borrowings during the first six months of
2006 were approximately $25.0 million, an increase of approximately $0.8 million over the comparable period in 2005. At June 30, 2006, the Company had available approximately $13.3 million of unused bank lines of credit and had short-term debt
outstanding through bank borrowings of approximately $26.7 million. In addition, Unitil had $3.9 million in cash at June 30, 2006.

The Company
provides limited guarantees on certain energy contracts entered into by its regulated subsidiary companies. The Companys policy is to limit these guarantees to two years or less. As of June 30, 2006, there are $8.0 million of guarantees
outstanding and the longest term guarantee extends through May 31, 2008.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the Companys financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. In making those estimates and assumptions, management is sometimes required to make difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about the impact of matters that are inherently uncertain and for which different estimates that
could reasonably have been used could have resulted in material differences in its financial statements. If actual results were to differ significantly from those estimates, assumptions and judgments, the financial statements of the Company could be
materially different than reported. The following is a summary of the Companys most critical accounting policies, which are defined as those policies where judgments or uncertainties could materially affect the application of those policies.
For a complete discussion of the Companys significant accounting policies, refer to the Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
February 22, 2006.

Regulatory Accounting - The Companys principal business is the distribution of electricity and natural gas by the
retail distribution companies: UES and FG&E. Both UES and FG&E are subject to regulation by the FERC and FG&E is regulated by the MDTE and UES is regulated by the NHPUC. Accordingly, the Company uses the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. (SFAS No. 71). In accordance with SFAS No. 71, the Company has recorded Regulatory Assets and Regulatory
Liabilities which will be recovered or refunded in future electric and gas retail rates.

SFAS No. 71 specifies the economic effects that result from
the cause and effect relationship of costs and revenues in the rate-regulated environment and how these effects are to be accounted for by a regulated enterprise. Revenues intended to cover some costs may be recorded either before or after the costs
are incurred. If regulation provides assurance that incurred costs will be recovered in the future, these costs would be recorded as deferred charges or regulatory assets under SFAS No. 71. If revenues are recorded for costs that
are expected to be incurred in the future, these revenues would be recorded as deferred credits or regulatory liabilities under SFAS No. 71.

The Companys principal regulatory assets and liabilities are detailed on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company is currently receiving or being credited with a return on all of its regulatory assets for which



10

##### Table of Contents

a cash outflow has been made. The Company is currently paying or being charged with a return on all of its regulatory
liabilities for which a cash inflow has been received. The Companys regulatory assets and liabilities will be recovered from customers, or applied for customer benefit, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable public
utility regulatory commission.

The application of SFAS No. 71 results in the deferral of costs as regulatory assets that, in some cases, have not yet
been approved for recovery by the applicable regulatory commission. Management must conclude that any costs deferred as regulatory assets are probable of future recovery in rates. However, regulatory commissions can reach different conclusions about
the recovery of costs, which can have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. Management believes it is probable that the Companys regulated utility companies will recover their investments in long-lived
assets, including regulatory assets. The Company also has commitments under long-term contracts for the purchase of electricity and natural gas from various suppliers. The annual costs under these contracts are included in Purchased Electricity and
Purchased Gas in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and these costs are recoverable in current and future rates under various orders issued by the FERC, MDTE and NHPUC.

If the Company, or a portion of its assets or operations, were to cease meeting the criteria for application of these accounting rules, accounting standards for businesses in general would become applicable and
immediate recognition of any previously deferred costs, or a portion of deferred costs, would be required in the year in which the criteria are no longer met, if such deferred costs were not recoverable in the portion of the business that continues
to meet the criteria for application of SFAS No. 71. If unable to continue to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 71, the Company would be required to apply the provisions of FASB Statement No. 101, Regulated Enterprises 
Accounting for the Discontinuation of Application of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 71. In managements opinion, the Companys regulated operations will be subject to SFAS No. 71 for the foreseeable
future.

Utility Revenue Recognition - Regulated utility revenues are based on rates approved by state and federal regulatory commissions. These
regulated rates are applied to customers accounts based on their actual or estimated use of energy. Energy sales to customers are based on the reading of their meters, which occurs on a systematic basis throughout the month. At the end of each
calendar month, amounts of energy delivered to customers since the date of the last meter reading are estimated and the corresponding unbilled revenue is estimated. This unbilled revenue is estimated each month based on estimated customer usage by
class and applicable customer rates.

As discussed above, the Companys New Hampshire utility operating subsidiary, UES, filed a request for a base
rate increase of $4.65 million with the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission (NHPUC) which established temporary rate relief at current rate levels, effective January 1, 2006. Any rate change ultimately awarded by the NHPUC will be
retroactive to January 1, 2006. The rate filing is currently under review, with a NHPUC order anticipated before the end of 2006. Based on the temporary rate order and the current status of proceedings, management has recorded an estimate of
expected revenue and expenses for the first six months of 2006.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company recognizes a Provision for Doubtful
Accounts each month. The amount of the monthly Provision is based upon the Companys experience in collecting electric and gas utility service accounts receivable in prior years. Account write-offs, net of recoveries, are processed monthly. At
the end of each month, an analysis of the delinquent receivables is performed and the adequacy of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is reviewed. The analysis takes into account an assumption about the cash recovery of delinquent receivables and
also uses calculations related to customers who have chosen payment plans to resolve their arrears. The analysis also calculates the amount of written-off receivables that are recoverable through regulatory rate reconciling mechanisms. Evaluating
the adequacy of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts requires judgment about the assumptions used in the analysis. Also, the Company has experienced periods when state regulators have extended the periods during which certain standard credit and
collection activities of utility companies are suspended. In periods when account write-offs exceed estimated levels, the Company adjusts the Provision for Doubtful Accounts to maintain an adequate Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance.

Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations - The Company has a defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all its employees and also
provides certain other post-retirement benefits (PBOP), primarily medical and life insurance benefits to retired employees. The Company also has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) covering certain executives of the Company. The Company
accounts for these benefits in



11

##### Table of Contents

accordance with FASB Statement No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions (SFAS No. 87) and
FASB Statement No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions (SFAS No. 106). In applying these accounting policies, the Company has made critical estimates related to actuarial assumptions,
including assumptions of expected returns on plan assets, future compensation, health care cost trends, and appropriate discount rates. For each of these plans, the development of the benefit obligation, fair value of plan assets, funded status and
net periodic benefit cost is based on several significant assumptions.

The Companys reported costs of providing pension and PBOP benefits are
dependent upon numerous factors resulting from actual plan experience and assumptions of future experience. The Companys health care cost trend assumptions are developed based on historical cost data, the near-term outlook and an assessment of
likely long-term trends. Pension and PBOP costs (collectively postretirement costs) are affected by actual employee demographics, the level of contributions made to the plans, earnings on plan assets, and health care cost trends. Changes
made to the provisions of these plans may also affect current and future postretirement costs. Postretirement costs may also be significantly affected by changes in key actuarial assumptions, including, anticipated rates of return on plan assets and
the discount rates used in determining the postretirement costs and benefit obligations. If these assumptions were changed, the resultant change in benefit obligations, fair values of plan assets, funded status and net periodic benefit costs could
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. See Note 8.

Pension expense is calculated based upon a number of actuarial
assumptions, including an expected long-term rate of return on Plan assets. In developing the expected long-term rate of return assumption, the Company evaluated input from actuaries and investment managers. The Companys expected long-term
rate of return on Plan assets is based on target asset allocation assumptions of 60% in common stock equities and 40% in fixed income securities. The Company will continue to evaluate the actuarial assumptions, including the expected rate of return,
at least annually, and will adjust the appropriate assumptions as necessary.

Income Taxes - Income tax expense is calculated in each of the
jurisdictions in which the Company operates for each period for which a statement of income is presented. This process involves estimating the Companys actual current tax liabilities as well as assessing temporary and permanent differences
resulting from differing treatment of items, such as timing of the deduction of expenses for tax and book accounting purposes. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company must also assess the likelihood that the deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not likely, a valuation allowance must be established. Significant management judgment is
required in determining income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and valuation allowances. The Company accounts for deferred taxes under FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company does not
currently have any valuation allowances against its recorded deferred tax amounts.

Depreciation - Depreciation expense is calculated based on the
useful lives of assets and judgment is involved when estimating the useful lives of certain assets. A change in the estimated useful lives of these assets could have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. The
Company conducts independent depreciation studies on a periodic basis as part of the regulatory ratemaking process and considers the results presented in these studies in determining the useful lives of the Companys fixed assets.

Commitments and Contingencies - The Companys accounting policy is to record and/or disclose commitments and contingencies in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS No. 5). SFAS No. 5 applies to an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible gain or loss that will ultimately be resolved
when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.

Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding recently issued accounting standards.

LABOR RELATIONS

There are approximately 100 employees of the Company represented by labor unions. In May 2005, the Company reached agreements with its bargaining units for new five-year contracts, effective June 1, 2005. These agreements replace
contracts that expired on May 31, 2005.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The majority of the Companys debt outstanding represents long-term notes bearing fixed rates of interest. Changes in market interest rates do not affect interest expense resulting from these outstanding
long-term debt securities. However, the Company periodically repays its short-term debt borrowings through the issuance of new long-term debt securities. Changes in market interest rates may affect the interest rate and corresponding interest
expense on any new long-term debt securities issued by the Company. In addition, the Companys short-term debt borrowings bear a variable rate of interest. As a result, changes in short-term interest rates will increase or decrease the
Companys interest expense in future periods. For example, if the Company had an average amount of short-term debt outstanding of $25 million for the period of one year, a change in interest rates of 1% would result in a change in annual
interest expense of approximately $250,000 (pre-tax). The average interest rates on the Companys short-term borrowings for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were 5.46% and 3.51%, respectively. The average
interest rates on the Companys short-term borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 were 5.24% and 3.27%, respectively.

MARKET RISK

Although Unitils utility operating companies were subject to commodity price risk as part of their traditional
operations, the current regulatory framework within which these companies operate allows for full collection of power and gas costs in rates on a pass-through basis. Consequently, there is limited commodity price risk after consideration of the
related rate-making which involves the pre-approval of the commodity prices included in rates. Additionally, as discussed below in Regulatory Matters, the Company has divested its long-term commodity-related contracts and therefore, has further
reduced its exposure to commodity risk. In recent periods, the energy markets have experienced significant volatility, with unprecedented increases in energy prices. The Company is working with the regulatory commissions to address the issue of
increasing energy prices and help the Companys customers work through this difficult period. The regulatory commissions in Massachusetts and New Hampshire have continued to approve full collection of these costs by Unitils utility
operating companies. However, the risk exists that the regulatory commissions would require the Company to finance, through deferrals, a portion of these costs for a period of time.

UNITIL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Unitil have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006. For further information, please refer to Note 1 of Part II
to the Consolidated Financial Statements  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2006, for a description of
the Companys Basis of Presentation.

Nature of Operations Unitil Corporation (Unitil or the Company) is a public utility holding
company. Unitil and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation as a holding company system by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Prior to the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Unitil and its
subsidiaries were subject to regulation as a registered holding company system under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As a result of the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of
2005, PUHCA has been repealed. The following companies are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Unitil: Unitil Energy Systems, Inc. (UES) (formed in 2002 by the combination and merger of Unitils former utility subsidiaries Concord Electric Company and
Exeter & Hampton Electric Company), Fitchburg Gas and Electric Light Company (FG&E), Unitil Power Corp. (Unitil Power), Unitil Realty Corp. (Unitil Realty), Unitil Service Corp. (Unitil Service) and its non-regulated business unit
Unitil Resources, Inc. (Unitil Resources). Usource, Inc. and Usource L.L.C. are subsidiaries of Unitil Resources.

Unitils principal business is the
retail distribution of electricity in the southeastern seacoast and capital city areas of New Hampshire and the retail distribution of both electricity and natural gas in the greater Fitchburg area of north central Massachusetts, through the
Companys two wholly owned subsidiaries, UES and FG&E, collectively referred to as the retail distribution utilities.

A third utility subsidiary,
Unitil Power, formerly functioned as the full requirements wholesale power supply provider for UES. In connection with the implementation of electric industry restructuring in New Hampshire, Unitil Power ceased being the wholesale supplier of UES on
May 1, 2003 and divested of its long-term power supply contracts through the sale of the entitlements to the electricity associated with various electric power supply contracts it had acquired to serve UES customers.

Unitil also has three other wholly-owned subsidiaries: Unitil Service, Unitil Realty and Unitil Resources. Unitil Service provides, at cost, a variety of administrative
and professional services, including regulatory, financial, accounting, human resources, engineering, operations, technology and management services on a centralized basis to its affiliated Unitil companies. Unitil Realty owns and manages the
Companys corporate office in Hampton, New Hampshire and leases this facility to Unitil Service under a long-term lease arrangement. Unitil Resources is the Companys wholly-owned non-utility unregulated subsidiary that provides consulting
and management related services. Usource, Inc. and Usource L.L.C. (collectively, Usource) are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Unitil Resources. Usource provides brokering and advisory services to large commercial and industrial customers in the
northeastern United States.

Recently Issued Pronouncements In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). This interpretation clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS No. 109).
Specifically, FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprises financial statements.
Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods of income taxes, as well as the required disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of completing its analysis of FIN 48 as it applies to the Companys operations and it does not expect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have a significant impact
on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued a Proposed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS), Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans. The Proposed SFAS would amend SFAS No. 87, SFAS No. 88, Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans
and for Termination Benefits, SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 132(R), Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. The Proposed SFAS would require companies to record on their balance
sheets pension assets and liabilities, based on projected benefit obligations, and transition assets and obligations. Additionally, the Proposed SFAS would require companies to recognize in their statements of earnings actuarial gains and losses and
prior service costs and credits which have not yet been recorded as expense. The effective date of the Proposed SFAS is proposed to be December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact the Proposed SFAS would have on the
Companys results of operations and financial position.

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain
Hybrid Financial Instruments, (SFAS No. 155), which amends FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, (SFAS No.133) and FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, (SFAS No. 140), effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after
September 15, 2006. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation and clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only
strips are not subject to the requirements of SFAS No. 133. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 155 and it did not have an impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-4, (FSP 123(R)-4), Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee
Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement Upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event. FSP 123(R)-4 addresses the classification of options and similar instruments issued as employee compensation that allow for cash settlement upon the
occurrence of a contingent event and amends paragraphs 32 and A229 of revised FASB Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (SFAS No. 123(R)), which was issued in December 2004. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all entities to
recognize the fair value of share-based payment awards classified in equity, unless they are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the award. The Company uses the fair value method for share-based payment awards and therefore the
provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) have no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company has adopted the provisions of FSP 123(R)-4.

Reclassifications - Certain amounts previously reported have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

The fair value of the Companys long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or
similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the Companys long-term debt at June 30, 2006 is estimated to be in a range of up to approximately $134 million,
before considering any costs, including prepayment costs, to market the Companys debt. Currently, management believes that there is no active market in the Companys debt securities, which have all been sold through private placements.

The Company provides limited guarantees on certain energy contracts entered into by its regulated subsidiary companies. The Companys policy is to
limit these guarantees to two years or less. As of June 30, 2006 there are $8.0 million of guarantees outstanding and these guarantees extend through May 31, 2008. These guarantees are not required to be recorded under the provisions of
FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.

NOTE 6  REGULATORY MATTERS

UNITILS REGULATORY MATTERS ARE DESCRIBED IN NOTE 5 TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ITEM 8 OF PART II OF UNITIL CORPORATIONS FORM 10-K FOR DECEMBER 31, 2005 AS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON FEBRUARY 22, 2006.

Overview  Unitil and its subsidiaries are subject to regulation as a holding company system
by the FERC under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 in regards to certain bookkeeping, accounting and reporting requirements. Prior to the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, Unitil and its subsidiaries were subject to regulation as a registered
holding company system under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA) by the SEC with respect to various matters, including: the issuance of securities, capital structure, and certain acquisitions and dispositions of assets. As a
result of the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, PUHCA has been repealed. Unitils utility operations related to wholesale and interstate business activities are also regulated by FERC. The retail distribution utilities, UES and
FG&E, are subject to regulation by the NHPUC and the MDTE, respectively, in regards to their rates, issuance of securities and other accounting and operational matters. Because Unitils primary operations are subject to rate regulation, the
regulatory treatment of various matters could significantly affect the Companys operations and financial position.

Unitils retail distribution
utilities have the franchise to deliver electricity and/or natural gas to all customers in our franchise areas, at rates established under traditional cost of service regulation. Under this regulatory structure, UES and FG&E recover the cost of
providing distribution service to their customers based on an historical test

year, in addition to earning a return on their capital investment in utility assets. As a result of a restructuring of
the utility industry in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Unitils customers have the opportunity to purchase their electric or natural gas supplies from third-party vendors. Most small and medium-sized customers, however, continue to purchase
such supplies through UES and FG&E as the provider of last resort. UES and FG&E purchase electricity or natural gas from unaffiliated wholesale suppliers and recover the actual costs of these supplies, without profit or markup, through
reconciling, pass-through rate mechanisms that are periodically adjusted.

In connection with the implementation of retail choice, Unitil Power and
FG&E divested their long-term power supply contracts through the sale of the entitlements to the electricity sold under those contracts. UES and FG&E recover in their rates all the costs associated with the divestiture of their power supply
portfolios and have secured regulatory approval from the NHPUC and MDTE, respectively, for the recovery of power supply-related stranded costs and other restructuring-related regulatory assets. The remaining balance of these assets, to be recovered
principally over the next five to seven years, is $140.3 million as of June 30, 2006 and is included in Regulatory Assets on the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet. Unitils retail distribution companies have a continuing obligation
to submit filings in both states that demonstrate their compliance with regulatory mandates and provide for timely recovery of costs in accordance with their approved restructuring plans.

FG&E  Electric Division FG&Es primary business is providing electric distribution service. Its current retail electric distribution
rates were approved by the MDTE in 2002. FG&E is required, as the provider of last resort, to purchase and provide power through Default Service for retail customers who chose not to buy, or were unable to purchase, energy from a competitive
supplier. Prices for Default Service are set periodically based on market solicitations as approved by the MDTE. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 53 percent of FG&Es electric load was served by Default Service. The remaining portion
was served by competitive third party suppliers.

As a result of the restructuring and the divestiture of FG&Es owned generation assets and
buyout of FG&Es power supply obligations, Regulatory Assets on the Companys balance sheets include the following three categories: Power Supply Buyout Obligations associated with the divestiture of its long-term purchase power
obligations; Recoverable Deferred Restructuring Charges resulting from the restructuring legislations seven year rate cap; and Recoverable Generation-related Assets associated with the divestiture of its owned generation plant. FG&E earns
carrying charges on the majority of the unrecovered balances of the Recoverable Deferred Restructuring Charges. The value of FG&Es Recoverable Deferred Restructuring Charges and Recoverable Generation-related Assets was approximately $37.9
million at June 30, 2006, and $35.9 million at June 30, 2005, and is expected to be recovered in FG&Es rates over the next five to seven years. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, FG&E had recorded on its balance sheets
$54.0 million as Power Supply Buyout Obligations and corresponding Regulatory Assets associated with the divestiture of its long-term purchase power contracts, which are included in Unitils consolidated financial statements, and on which
carrying charges are not earned as the timing of cash disbursements and cash receipts associated with these long-term obligations is matched through rates.

Recovery of the deferred amounts described above will be made pursuant to a Settlement Agreement among FG&E, the Massachusetts Office of the Attorney General (Attorney General), and representatives of industrial and low-income
customers. The Settlement Agreement, which was approved by the MDTE in 2005, provides for a rate path to allow recovery of FG&Es deferred stranded costs.

On March 7, 2006, the MDTE approved FG&Es 2003 and 2004 annual reconciliation of costs and revenues for Transition, Transmission, Standard Offer Service, and Default Service filed under its restructuring plan. FG&Es
2005 filing, which is subject to investigation, is pending. Management believes that this filing will be approved without material changes or adjustments.

FG&E  Gas Division  FG&E provides natural gas delivery service to its customers on a firm or interruptible basis under unbundled distribution rates approved by the MDTE. Its current retail distribution rates were
approved by the MDTE in 2002. FG&Es customers may purchase gas supplies from third-party vendors or purchase their gas from FG&E as the provider of last resort. FG&E collects its gas supply costs through a seasonal reconciling CGAC
and recovers other related costs through a reconciling Local Distribution Adjustment Clause.

FG&E  Other On October 27, 2004, the MDTE approved FG&Es request for a
reconciliation rate adjustment mechanism to provide for the recovery of costs associated with the Companys employee pension benefits and PBOP expenses. FG&E is allowed to record a regulatory asset in lieu of taking a charge to expense for
the difference between the level of pension and PBOP expenses that are included in its base rates and the amounts that are required to be recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106, since the effective date of its last base
rate change. This mechanism provides for an annual filing and rate adjustment with the MDTE. As of June 30, 2006, FG&E has a regulatory asset of $2.9 million which is included as part of Regulatory Assets in the Companys
Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On November 30, 2005, the MDTE announced a change in its method for recovery of gas cost-related bad debt, and
determined that it would allow for full recovery of these costs on a reconciling basis. On December 15, 2005, FG&E filed a revised CGAC tariff reflecting this change which was approved effective January 1, 2006. FG&E also requested
approval to recover its under-recovered gas cost-related bad debt for 2005 of approximately $164,000. On February 24, 2006, FG&E made a similar filing for its electric division, seeking approval to recover its actual electric supply-related
bad debt through Default Service rates, effective January 1, 2006, and to recover its under-recovered electric supply-related bad debt for 2005 of approximately $84,000. On April 7, 2006, the MDTE consolidated the gas and electric requests
for simultaneous review. A decision on these requests is expected in 2006. As of June 30, 2006, FG&E has regulatory assets for supply-related bad debt costs of $1.0 million.

UES UES provides electric distribution service to its customers pursuant to rates approved by the NHPUC. Its current retail electric distribution rates were established under a 2002 restructuring
settlement agreement. On May 1, 2004, these distribution rates were increased by $1.0 million to provide for the recovery of PBOP costs. As the provider of last resort, UES also provides its customers with electric power through Default Service
at rates which reflect UES costs for wholesale supply with no profit or markup. UES also provided a Transition Service supply for all rate classes through April 30, 2006. On May 1, 2006, customers previously on Transition Service
were automatically placed on Default Service. Under a NHPUC approved settlement with the Office of the Consumer Advocate and the NHPUC Staff, UES procures Default Service power for its larger commercial and industrial customers on a quarterly basis,
and for its smaller commercial and residential customers through a portfolio of longer term contracts on a semi-annual basis. UES recovers its costs for this service on a pass-through basis through reconciling rate mechanisms. As of June 30,
2006, approximately 83 percent of UES electric load was served by Default Service. The remaining portion was served by competitive third party suppliers.

In the 2002 restructuring settlement, the NHPUC approved the divestiture of the long-term power supply portfolio by Unitil Power and tariffs for UES for stranded cost recovery and Transition and Default Service, including certain charges
that are subject to annual or periodic reconciliation or future review. As of June 30, 2006, UES had recorded on its balance sheets $48.3 million as Power Supply Contract Obligations and corresponding Regulatory Assets associated with these
long-term purchase power stranded costs, which are included in Unitil Corporations consolidated financial statements. These Power Supply Contract Obligations are expected to be recovered principally over a period of approximately four years.
The Company does not earn carrying charges on these regulatory assets as the timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements associated with these long-term obligations is matched through rates.

On March 17, 2006, UES made its third annual reconciliation and rate filing with the NHPUC under its restructuring plan, effective May 1, 2006, including
reconciliation of prior year costs and revenues for the Transition Service Charge, Default Service Charge, Stranded Cost Charge, and External Delivery Charge. The NHPUC approved the filing on April 28, 2006.

On December 11, 2004, UES filed with the NHPUC a Petition for an accounting order to defer certain pension costs above those included in its base rates, until UES
filed its next base rate case, which, pursuant to the last base rate case settlement, was required to be filed no later than October 2007 (also see Note 8 below). On April 7, 2005, the NHPUC issued an order denying UES Petition for an
accounting order. In its analysis denying UES request, the NHPUC indicated that pension expense is an ordinary category of expense included in the revenue requirement for a utility under traditional cost of service ratemaking principles and
that the size and impact of increased pension expense is not clear and that a full examination of UES income and expenses would be undertaken when UES files a rate case. As discussed below, the Company filed a full base rate case on
November 4, 2005, which included a request for recovery of Pension/PBOP costs through a reconciling mechanism, the Pension/PBOP Adjustment Charge (PAC). As of June 30, 2006, UES has recorded deferred pension costs of $1.0 million.

##### Table of Contents

On November 4, 2005, UES filed a request for a base rate increase of $4.65 million with the NHPUC. The filing
includes a request to recover pension and PBOP costs through an annual reconciling rate mechanism, and a step adjustment for certain future rate base additions. The filing also requested that temporary rates be established at current rate levels
effective December 4, 2005. On February 3, 2006, the NHPUC issued an order approving the request for temporary rates. Any rate change ultimately awarded by the NHPUC will be retroactive to January 1, 2006. The overall rate filing is
currently under review, with an NHPUC order anticipated before November 2006. It is anticipated that the final determination of the amount and method of recovering UES pension and PBOP costs will be decided in the pending base rate case. The
Company cannot determine the ultimate outcome of this proceeding. Based on the temporary rate order and the current status of proceedings, management has recorded an estimate of expected revenue and expenses for the first six months of 2006. The
estimate includes $1.7 million in estimated revenue and $1.0 million in estimated operating expenses and taxes, a net increase to operating income of $0.7 million. The impact of this estimated increase in operating income on previously reported

are members of NEPOOL, formed in 1971 to assure reliable operation of the bulk power system in the most economic manner for the region. NEPOOL is governed by the NEPOOL Agreement that is filed with and subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC. The
regional bulk power system is operated by an independent corporate entity, ISO-NE, in order to avoid any opportunity for conflicting financial interests between the system operator and the market-driven participants.

As of February 1, 2005, a RTO was established in New England. ISO-NE became the entity responsible for operating the RTO. The market rules and requirements to
participate in the markets previously covered under the NEPOOL Agreement were transferred to the new RTO structure under control of ISO-NE. FERC approved the formation of the RTO effective February 1, 2005. Several parties have appealed various
issues associated with the FERCs approval of the RTO to Federal District Court of Appeals. Those proceedings are ongoing.

On March 1, 2004,
ISO-NE filed a proposal to implement LICAP in New England to allow for the imposition of incentive pricing for transmission constrained areas. UES and FG&E intervened in the proceeding. On April 11, 2006, a contested Settlement to resolve
the LICAP proceeding was submitted by the FERC Settlement Judge to the FERC. It proposed transition payments for capacity until a Forward Capacity Market can be implemented, possibly by 2010. On June 16, 2006 the FERC approved the Settlement,
for implementation December 1, 2006. This case is subject to a Request for Rehearing at FERC and may be subject to subsequent appeal to the Federal Courts.

The formation of an RTO, LICAP and other wholesale market changes, including changes to transmission rates, is not expected to have a material impact on Unitils operations because of the cost recovery mechanisms for wholesale energy
costs approved by the MDTE and NHPUC. It is likely, that retail rates will be significantly increased over the next several years as the Settlement is implemented.

NOTE 7  ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

UNITILS ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS ARE DESCRIBED IN NOTE 5 TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN
ITEM 8 OF PART II OF UNITIL CORPORATIONS FORM 10-K FOR DECEMBER 31, 2005 AS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON FEBRUARY 22, 2006.

The Companys past and present operations include activities that are generally subject to extensive federal and state environmental laws and regulations. The Company is in general compliance with all applicable
environmental and safety laws and regulations, and management believes that as of June 30, 2006, there are no material losses reasonably possible in excess of recorded amounts. However, there can be no assurance that significant costs and
liabilities will not be incurred in the future. It is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent federal, state or local environmental laws and regulations could result in increased environmental compliance costs.

Sawyer Passway MGP Site  The Company continues to work with environmental regulatory agencies to identify
and assess environmental issues at the former manufactured gas plant (MGP) site at Sawyer Passway, located in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. FG&E proceeded with site remediation work as specified on the Tier 1B permit issued by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), which allows the Company to work towards temporary remediation of the site. Work performed in 2002 was associated with the five-year review of the Temporary Solution submittal (Class C Response Action
Outcome) under the Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) that was filed for the site in 1997. Completion of this work has confirmed the Temporary Solution status of the site for an additional five years, to January 2008. A status of temporary closure
requires FG&E to monitor the site until a feasible permanent remediation alternative can be developed and completed. FG&E is in the process of developing a long range plan for a Permanent Solution for the site, including alternatives for
re-use of the site.

On May 13, 2004 FG&E discovered an unauthorized excavation by another property owner on the site at Sawyer Passway in which
tainted soils related to MGP by-products were exposed and relocated onto property owned by FG&E. FG&E promptly reported this discovery to the DEP and subsequently received a Notice of Responsibility on May 20, 2004. FG&E has
properly disposed of the relocated materials and taken other steps in accordance with DEP directives to remedy the situation. The Completion Report for this release was submitted May 9, 2005.

Since 1991, FG&E has recovered the environmental response costs incurred at this former MGP site pursuant to an MDTE approved settlement agreement between the
Massachusetts Attorney General and the natural gas utilities of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Agreement). The Agreement allows FG&E to amortize and recover from gas customers over succeeding seven-year periods the environmental response
costs incurred each year. Environmental response costs are defined to include liabilities related to manufactured gas sites, waste disposal sites or other sites onto which hazardous material may have migrated as a result of the operation or
decommissioning of Massachusetts gas manufacturing facilities from 1822 through 1978. In addition, on June 9, 2006, FG&E filed suit against several of its former insurance carriers seeking coverage for past and future environmental response
costs at the site. Any recovery that FG&E receives from insurance or third parties with respect to environmental response costs, net of the unrecovered costs associated therewith, are split equally between FG&E and its gas customers. The
total annual charge for such costs assessed to gas customers cannot exceed five percent of FG&Es total revenue for firm gas sales during the preceding year. Costs in excess of five percent will be deferred for recovery in subsequent years.

Note 8: Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans

The
Company provides certain pension and postretirement benefit plans for its retirees and current employees including defined benefit plans, postretirement health and welfare plans, a supplemental executive retirement plan and an employee 401(k)
savings plan.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan The Company sponsors the Unitil Corporation Retirement Plan (the Plan), a defined benefit pension
plan covering substantially all its employees. Under the Plan retirement benefits are based upon an employees level of compensation and length of service. The Company records annual expense and accounts for its defined benefit pension plan in
accordance with SFAS No. 87.

In December 2003 and 2002, UES and FG&E filed requests with their respective state regulatory commissions for
approval of accounting orders to mitigate certain accounting requirements related to pension plan assets which had been triggered by the substantial decline in the capital markets. UES and FG&E were granted approval of this regulatory accounting
treatment in January 2003 and 2004. As a result of these approvals, the Company has recorded as a Regulatory Asset the amount of the Plans unfunded Accumulated Benefit Obligation (ABO) plus one dollar. These approvals allow UES and FG&E to
treat their Additional Minimum Liability (AML) as Regulatory Assets under SFAS No. 71 and avoid the reduction in equity through other comprehensive income that would otherwise be required by SFAS No. 87.

On October 27, 2004 the MDTE approved FG&Es request for a reconciliation rate adjustment mechanism (the Pension / PBOP Adjustment Factor (PAF)) to recover
the costs associated with the Companys pension and postretirement benefits other than pensions (PBOP), costs on an annually reconciling basis. As a result of this order, FG&E records a regulatory asset to recognize the deferral for the
difference between the level of pension and PBOP expenses that are currently included in its base rates and the amounts that are required to be

recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 87 and SFAS No. 106 and amortizes increases and /or decreases in that
deferral balance into the PAF for recovery over a three year period. The PAF provides for an annual filing and rate adjustment with the MDTE and requires that carrying charges on prepaid or (accrued) pension and PBOP assets and liabilities be
collected from, or refunded to, utility customers. In 2005, FG&E received approval of its first annual filing and rate adjustment.

The Company
initiated similar discussions for a reconciling rate mechanism for the pension costs of UES with the NHPUC. On December 11, 2004, UES filed with the NHPUC a Petition for an Accounting Order to defer certain pension costs above those included in
its base rates until UES filed its next base rate case, which, pursuant to the last base rate case settlement, was required to be filed no later than October 2007. On April 7, 2005, the NHPUC issued an order denying UES Petition for an
accounting order. In its analysis denying UES request, the NHPUC indicated that pension expense is an ordinary category of expense included in the revenue requirement for a utility under traditional cost of service ratemaking principles and
that the size and impact of increased pension expense is not clear and that a full examination of UES income and expenses would be undertaken when UES files a rate case. As discussed above, the Company filed a full base rate case on
November 4, 2005, which included a request for recovery of Pension/PBOP costs through a reconciling mechanism, the PAC. UES regulatory history with the NHPUC regarding this issue taken together with ratemaking precedent concerning pension
cost recovery leads management to conclude that the pension costs are probable of recovery under SFAS No. 71. As of June 30, 2006, UES has recorded deferred pension costs of $1.0 million.

The following tables show the components of net periodic pension cost, (NPPC), as well as key actuarial assumptions used in determining the various pension plan values:

approximately $209,000 and $366,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively, recorded as increases to Regulatory Assets on the Companys Balance Sheet. The remaining amounts represent amounts capitalized to
construction overheads. Included in the above pension expense amounts for 2006 are estimated expenditures to be recognized in the Companys rate proceeding in New Hampshire, as discussed above.

|(1) | In May 2005, the Company reached agreements with its union labor bargaining units for new
five-year contracts, effective June 1, 2005, which resulted in amendments to the Plan. Effective for the period of June 1, 2005 through December 31, 2005, the Company lowered the assumed discount rate to 6.00%.

Employer Contributions  As of June 30, 2006, the Company has not yet made any contributions to the Plan for 2006. The Company is
required to make a minimum contribution to its pension plan this year in the amount of $0.8 million. The Company contributed $2.5 million in 2005.

Postretirement Benefits - The Company also sponsors the Unitil Employee Health and Welfare Benefits Plan (PBOP Plan) primarily to provide health care and life insurance benefits to active employees. Prior to October 1, 2003, the
Company funded certain postretirement benefits through the Unitil Retiree Trust (URT). URT was an organization of retirees, incorporated in 1993 to provide social, health and welfare benefits to its members, who are eligible former employees of the
Company. Effective January 1, 2004, the PBOP Plan was amended to provide certain healthcare and life insurance benefits, which were previously provided by the URT. The Company has established Voluntary Employee Benefit Trusts, into which it
funds contributions to the PBOP Plan.

In January 2004 and May 2004, the FASB issued, respectively, Statement No. 106-1 (SFAS No. 106-1) and
Statement No. 106-2 (SFAS No. 106-2), Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, (the Act). The Act includes a subsidy to a plan sponsor that is
based on 28 percent of an individual beneficiarys annual prescription drug costs between $250 and $5,000 and the opportunity for a retiree to obtain a prescription drug benefit under Medicare. SFAS No. 106-1 and SFAS No. 106-2
require the disclosure of the effects, if any, of the Act on the reported measure of the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation and how that effect has been, or will be, reflected in the net postretirement benefit costs of current or
subsequent periods. On January 28, 2005, the final Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Rules were posted to the Federal Register. Based on these rules, the Companys estimated PBOP Projected Benefit Obligation was reduced by $5.1 million.
Also, the Company has estimated that its annual PBOP costs will be reduced by $0.4 million under the Act. These reductions are reflected in the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. The Companys health care insurance provider has
concluded that the Companys PBOP Plan is equal to or better than standard Medicare Part D coverage. Additionally, the Companys recognition of the Act is not expected to have any impact on the rate of participation in the PBOP Plan or per
capita claims.

As discussed above, on October 27, 2004 the MDTE approved FG&Es request for a reconciliation rate adjustment mechanism, the
PAF, to recover the costs associated with the Companys pension and PBOP costs on an annually reconciling basis. On March 15, 2004 UES filed a petition with the NHPUC for recovery of PBOP costs. UES proposed an increase to its distribution
base rates of $1.0 million to provide for the recovery of these costs, effective May 1, 2004. The NHPUC approved this filing, effective May 1, 2004. As discussed above, on November 4, 2005, UES filed a request for a base rate increase
of $4.65 million. The filing includes a request to recover pension and PBOP costs through an annual reconciling rate mechanism. It is anticipated that the final determination of the amount and method of recovering UES pension and PBOP costs
will be decided in the base rate case. The Company cannot determine the ultimate outcome of this proceeding.
