Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The information furnished herewith reflects all adjustments, which are in the opinion of management necessary to a fair statement of the results for the period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-KSB. These unaudited interim financial statements have not been audited or certified by a firm of certified public accountants.

It is the Company's policy to reclassify amounts in the prior year financial statements to conform with the current year presentation.

Note B - New Accounting Standards

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs" (SFAS 151). This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to costs of conversion be based upon the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for inventory cost incurred in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions in the beginning of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 151 on its consolidated financial statements.

CORNING NATURAL GAS CORPORATIONFORM 10-QSB FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2005

Item 2 - Management's Discussion & Analysis

Results of Operation

As the Company's business is seasonal, the interim results should not be used as an indication of what results of the fiscal year 2005 may be.

Consolidated revenue of $10,967,000 for the quarter decreased $268,700 compared to the same quarter last year. Utility revenues decreased $29,000 as the result of lower gas cost reconciliation amounts billed and a 4% reduction in S.C.1 retail deliveries, due to slightly warmer weather. Offsetting these reductions are additional revenues from local production and incentive revenues discussed in regulatory matters. Revenues from the Appliance Corp, Tax Center International and Foodmart Plaza declined $204,000 as those operations have been discontinued. Revenues from Corning Realty and Corning Mortgage declined $36,000 in this seasonally slower quarter.

Consolidated net income for the quarter was $575,800 compared to net income of $378,700 in the same quarter the previous year. Net income of $624,100 was experienced in the utility operations compared to net income of $553,900 last year. The increase is due to increased local production revenue, as well as incentive revenue discussed below. Corning Realty experienced a loss of $44,300 for the quarter compared to a loss of $69,900 for the same quarter last year as the result of reduced advertising, occupancy and commission expenses. Tax Center International experienced a loss of $300 compared to earnings of $30,000 last year. In October 2004, the Company discontinued operations of Tax Center International. Corning Mortgage experienced a loss of $5,900 compared to a loss of $1,100 last year.

The former Appliance segment experienced net income of $2,300 versus a loss of $137,100 last year. The assets of the Appliance Corporation were sold and operations discontinued in September 2003, but in the second quarter of last year that segment still incurred expense allocations that were established in the Company's last rate case. Those allocations are currently being deferred, as discussed below.

Regulatory Matters

On March 12, 2004, the Company filed with the PSC a petition to amend the Joint Proposal approved in its last rate case. Among the matters highlighted in the Petition as requiring review and modification were:

(a) the allocation of costs between utility and non-utility business functions to reflect the sale of the Company's Appliance business; (b) restrictions on the Company's ability to record as current income the $174,124 annual additional revenues for improving its equity ratio; (c) the treatment of the costs of Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits (OPEBs) for prior periods; and (d) the computation of costs pertaining to natural gas stored underground. On July 23, 2004, the Company reached a settlement (Joint Proposal) with the staff of the Public Service Commission. The Joint Proposal represents a negotiated resolution of the issues, and was approved by the Public Service Commission on September 1, 2004. The Joint Proposal provides for the release of $174,124 of annual incentive revenue and the retention of transportation revenues generated from local production. The Joint Proposal also provides for the filing of a deferral petition for the allocation costs resulting from the sale of the Appliance business. Hence, these costs have been deferred on the balance sheet, and subject to future PSC review for recovery through utility rates.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company realized $405,000 in additional revenues from local production. Additionally, the incentive revenues provided $54,000 more for the March 31, 2005 quarter. The deferred allocation costs total $1,200,000 at March 31, 2005 and are recorded as a regulatory asset on the balance sheet.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

The Company finances its capital additions, as well as gas purchased, through a combination of internally generated funds and short-term borrowing. Capital expenditures consist primarily of replacement of mains and services. Historically, the Company spends approximately $800,000 annually, and it is anticipated that fiscal 2005 will be the same. Expenditures for the six months ended March 31, 2005 amounted to $400,300. For all operations, the Company has $7,750,000 available through lines of credit at local banks, the terms of which are disclosed in the Company's latest annual report on form 10-KSB. It is expected that, on a consolidated basis, current capital resources will continue to be sufficient for the Company's operations over the next twelve months. As described in the Company's Petition to the PSC, however, the sufficiency of cash flow for regulated operations continues to be dependent upon resources from the Company's unregulated operations.

The Company's primary source of cash during the six-month period ended March 31, 2005 consisted of cash provided by operating activities. Cash from operating activities consist of net income, adjusted for non-cash income and expenses, and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Due to the seasonal nature of the utility business, revenues are higher during the heating season, which occurs in the first and second quarter of the fiscal year, and receivables balances increase during this time from the balances at September 30. Storage gas inventory declines during the first and second quarters of the year and is replenished during the third and fourth quarters.



Critical Accounting Policies

The Company's significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. It is increasingly important to understand that the application of generally accepted accounting principles involve certain assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Thus, the application of these principles can result in varying results from company to company. The most significant principles that impact the Company are discussed below.

Accounting for Utility Revenue and Cost of Gas Recognition.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





To the Board of Directors

and Stockholders

Corning Natural Gas Corporation

Corning, New York



We have reviewed the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of Corning Natural Gas Corporation as of March 31, 2005, and for the three and six month periods then ended. These interim consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheet of Corning Natural Gas Corporation as of September 30, 2004 (presented herein), and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated November 9, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
