EXPLANATORY PARAGRAPH

Iroquois or "the Partnership" is filing this second amendment on Form 10-K/A to
its Annual Report on Form 10-K to restate the Partnership's consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. (For
an explanation of the factors surrounding the first amendment on Form 10-K/A,
see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) Management reexamined the
accounting for and presentation of its provision for income taxes on the
Consolidated Statements of Income and the corresponding accounting for and
presentation related to income taxes on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and
related financial statements. After additional research and evaluation by
management, the Partnership concluded that, as a partnership, it should present
the Consolidated Statements of Income without the provision for income taxes and
should present the Consolidated Balance Sheets without the amounts equivalent to
deferred income taxes or regulatory assets-income tax related. In addition, the
presentation of these items on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners' Equity and the related
disclosures in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements are also
incorrect.

Restatement of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction
of a misstatement is a strong indicator of the existence of a "material
weakness" in the design or operation of internal control over financial
reporting. The restatement of the Partnership's consolidated financial
statements as a result of the errors described above has led management to
conclude that material weaknesses existed in the Partnership's internal control
over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004. In accordance with the rules
of the SEC, the affected items of the Form 10-K/A, Items 6, 7, 8 and 9A of Part
II, are being amended.

No attempt has been made in this Form 10-K/A to update other disclosures
presented in the original report on Form 10-K, except as required to reflect the
effects of the restatement. This Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring
after the filing of the original Form 10-K or modify or update those
disclosures, including the exhibits to the Form 10-K affected by subsequent
events; however, this Form 10-K/A includes as exhibits 31.1, 31.2 and 32 new
certifications by the Partnership's principal executive officer and principal
financial officer as required by Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, this Form 10-K/A should be read
in conjunction with the Partnership's filings made with the SEC subsequent to
the filing of the original Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.
The following items have been amended as a result of the restatement:

In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking
events discussed in this annual report might not occur.

                                    PART I.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Introduction

         Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P., or the Partnership, is a
Delaware limited partnership. It owns and operates a 412-mile interstate natural
gas transmission pipeline from the Canada-United States border near Waddington,
New York to South Commack, Long Island, New York including an approximate
36-mile mainline extension from Northport, New York through the Long Island
Sound to Hunts Point, New York. The Partnership provides service to local gas
distribution companies, electric utilities and electric power generators, as
well as marketers and other end-users, directly or indirectly, by connecting
with pipelines and interconnects throughout the northeastern United States. The
Partnership is exclusively a transporter of natural gas in interstate commerce
and operates under authority granted by the FERC. The Partnership was organized
in 1989 and commenced full operations in 1992, creating a link between markets
in the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York
and Rhode Island, and western Canada natural gas supplies. The Partnership's
pipeline system connects at four locations with three interstate pipelines and
also connects with the pipeline system of TransCanada PipeLines Limited, or
TransCanada, at the Canada-United States border near Waddington, New York.

         The Partnership provides transportation service to its shippers under
transportation service contracts, which provide for either firm reserved service
or interruptible service. Firm reserved transportation service contracts are
either long-term, multi-year contracts or short-term contracts of less than one
year. Under firm reserved transportation contracts, a certain amount of the
Partnership's pipeline system's capacity is reserved for the use of a shipper.
Under interruptible transportation service contracts, a shipper's access to the
Partnership's pipeline system depends upon the availability of pipeline system
capacity on any given day. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership had 36
shippers with long-term firm reserved transportation service contracts for 1,279
thousands of dekatherms per day, or MDth/d. As of December 31, 2004,
approximately 85% of the Partnership's subscribed pipeline capacity was
contracted under firm reserved transportation service contracts that continue
through at least November 1, 2014.

         The partners and their respective interests in the Partnership are as
follows:

</TABLE>


         Iroquois Pipeline Operating Company, or IPOC, a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Partnership, is the operator of the Partnership's pipeline system and is
responsible for the day-to-day management of the pipeline system pursuant to an
operating agreement entered into between the Partnership and IPOC on January 10,
1989, as amended and restated on February 28, 1997, that expires on November 11,
2011 and renews on a yearly basis thereafter.

Description of the Pipeline

         Pipeline Facilities. The Partnership's pipeline system extends 412
miles from the Canada-United States border near Waddington, New York to South
Commack, Long Island, New York and includes the Eastchester/New York City
expansion of its pipeline system, consisting of an approximate 36-mile mainline
extension, referred to as the Eastchester Extension, running from the mainline
on Long Island near Northport, New York, through the Long Island Sound to Hunts
Point, New York. The pipeline system offers access to natural gas supplies in
Western Canada to local gas distribution companies, electric utilities, electric
power generators and natural gas marketers operating in the New York and New
England power grids.

         Compressor Stations. Compressor stations increase the pressure of
natural gas flowing through the Partnership's pipeline system, increasing its
capacity and the volume of natural gas that can be shipped under contract. In
May 1992, the FERC approved construction of the Partnership's first compressor
station located in Wright, New York. This station went into service in November
1993 and by that year-end, the volumes under contract had increased to 648.6
MDth/d. A second compressor station, in Croghan, New York, was commissioned in
December 1994, expanding firm reserved service to 758.9 MDth/d. The
Partnership's third


                                       3
<PAGE>


compressor station, located in Athens, New York, commenced operation on November
1, 1998. Also as part of the Eastchester Extension, the Partnership added two
new compressor stations at Boonville and Dover, New York, additional compression
at the existing Croghan and Wright compressor stations and cooling facilities at
the Wright and Athens, New York compressor stations. As of December 31, 2004,
the Partnership had firm reserved transportation contracts in place to deliver
1,279 MDth/d of natural gas.

         Metering Stations and Interconnects. The Partnership receives natural
gas from the TransCanada Canadian Mainline at the Canada-United States border
near Waddington, New York and delivers gas in New York and Connecticut through
meters tied to local distribution companies and directly to end-user markets.
The Partnership's pipeline system operates and maintains a total of 21 delivery
meters with a combined capacity of approximately 6.3 Bcf/d. Each meter station
consists of a separate control building that contains gas measurement equipment
and electrical and instrumentation devices. The Partnership also delivers gas to
the other major natural gas pipelines in the Northeast through its
interconnections at four locations with three interstate pipelines and also
connects with the TransCanada Canadian Mainline. The Partnership also has
interconnections with the New York Facilities System at South Commack, Long
Island and Hunts Point, New York. The New York Facilities System is a pipeline
system owned and used by both Consolidated Edison Company of New York, or Con
Ed, and KeySpan Corporation.

         Communications. The Partnership maintains 24-hour monitoring of its
pipeline system via a computerized data monitoring and control system known as
SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) that links all compressor
stations and meter stations and mainline valves with the Partnership's gas
control center in Shelton, Connecticut. Remote facilities along the pipeline
route are accessed with the use of multiple address radio communication links to
a satellite system, which allows the pipeline system to be operated remotely
from the gas control center.

         Operations. The gas control center houses the gas management, control
and computer systems required to operate the pipeline system and dispatch gas. A
backup gas control center is located in Oxford, Connecticut. In the event that
neither of these control centers is available, the Partnership's entire pipeline
system can be monitored and operated from the Wright, New York compressor
station. The Partnership has operated the pipeline system with regular and
continuous maintenance since it commenced operations. Inspections and tests have
been performed at prescribed intervals to ensure the integrity of the system.
These include periodic corrosion surveys, testing of relief and over-pressure
devices and periodic aerial inspections of the right-of-way, all conforming to
the United States Department of Transportation regulations. Such actions have
allowed the Partnership to maintain high operational availability of its system,
in particular, its compressors. Availability is a measure of the overall
reliability of a compressor. During the last six years, the average availability
of the Partnership's compressor units has ranged from 95% to 99%. In addition,
because multiple compressor stations are operational, the system is capable of
achieving high levels of throughput even when one or more compressor units are
experiencing an outage.

Transportation Services and Shippers

         The design capacity of the Partnership's mainline pipeline system is
subscribed under firm reserved transportation service contracts with 36
shippers. Under the firm reserved transportation service contracts, the pipeline
receives natural gas on behalf of shippers at designated receipt points and
transports the gas on a firm basis up to each shipper's maximum daily quantity.
As of December 31, 2004, approximately 85% of the subscribed capacity of the
Partnership's pipeline system was contractually committed through at least
November 1, 2014. The Partnership has also entered into several short-term (less
than one year) firm reserved transportation service contracts and numerous
interruptible transportation service contracts. Reservation and variable fees
are payable under firm reserved transportation service contracts and depend on
the volume of gas shipped and the zone within which the gas is shipped. The
Partnership's pipeline is currently divided into two rate zones: Zone One covers
the mainline from Waddington to Wright, New York and Zone Two covers the
territory from Wright, New York through Connecticut to South Commack, Long
Island, New York. The Partnership is also authorized by the FERC to enter into
"negotiated rate" contracts with shippers. To date, the Partnership has entered
into a limited number of negotiated rate contracts for short-term firm
transportation service.

         The Partnership's shippers under firm transportation service contracts
consist of major electric and gas utility companies, marketers, gas producers
and independent electric generating companies. KeySpan Corporation, through
their affiliates, accounted for more than 23% of the Partnership's revenues for
the year ended December 31, 2004. Approximately 49% of the Partnership's
existing pipeline system firm reserved capacity was contracted to affiliates of
the Partnership's partners as of December 31, 2004.

         On February 5, 2004, the Partnership placed into service the
Eastchester Expansion Project. As of December 31, 2004, five shippers had
contracted for service on the Eastchester Expansion totaling 230 MDth/d.
Approximately 74% of this capacity is contracted through at least February 1,
2013. The Partnership has entered into negotiated rate contracts with each of
the five shippers, which provide for cost recovery primarily through a monthly
demand charge, thereby resulting in minimal cost risk associated with volume
throughput.

         On April 8, 2003, in the Partnership's Docket No. RP03-304, the FERC
approved an incremental fuel charge for Eastchester shippers up to a limit of
4.5% of their receipt quantity. Fuel charged to Eastchester shippers may be up
to 4.5 times the rate charged to the Partnership's existing shippers and will
apply to the Eastchester contracts regardless of the delivery point selected and
to existing shippers who choose to deliver gas to Hunts Point, New York.

         The Partnership's FERC-approved tariff provides that, subject to
certain exceptions, the Partnership has the right to require that firm
transportation shippers have an investment grade rating or obtain a written
shipper guarantee from a third party with an investment grade rating. In the
past three years, the energy industry, which includes the Partnership's firm
transportation shippers, experienced significant credit and liquidity issues and
credit rating agency downgrades. As of December 31, 2004, the weighted average
credit rating of the Partnership's shippers which are rated or have parental
guarantees or letters of credit in place, representing 87.9% of the pipeline
system's contracted capacity, was A3 (based on Moody's Investor Services) and A-


                                       5
<PAGE>


(based on Standard and Poor's (S&P)). The weighted average credit rating of all
shippers, including those who have made other credit support arrangements that
the Partnership finds satisfactory, was A3 (Moody's) and BBB+ (S&P). The
weighted average credit rating was determined by converting the S&P and Moody's
ratings into internal numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 22, with 1 being
equivalent to AAA/Aaa by S&P and Moody's and 22 being D or Default by S&P and
Moody's. For purposes of this analysis, those non-rated shippers who have made
other credit support arrangements were either assigned an assumed investment
grade rating, or the ratings of their parent were used.

Demand for Transportation Capacity

         The Partnership's market, the northeastern United States, is comprised
of approximately 12 million natural gas customers, who account for approximately
15% of all natural gas customers in the United States. The northeastern United
States has experienced an overall increase in natural gas demand in the last
decade. The Partnership expects this demand to continue to grow by 2-3% per year
through 2011. The bulk of the growth in the northeastern United States is
expected to occur in the electric generation sector.

         Natural gas demand in the Northeast is highly seasonal. The peak months
for natural gas demand occur in the winter season for residential, commercial,
and industrial sectors. For the electrical generation sector, the peak months
occur in the summer season. The summer peaking needs of electric generators help
balance seasonality and level out our pipeline's throughput.

         The Partnership's long-term financial condition is dependent on the
continued availability of competitively priced western Canadian natural gas for
import into the United States. Natural gas reserves may require significant
capital expenditures by others for exploration and development drilling and the
installation of production, gathering, storage, transportation and other
facilities that permit natural gas to be produced and delivered. The Western
Canada Sedimentary Basin is currently, and is expected to remain, the primary
source of natural gas for the Partnership's pipeline system. Sable Island and
other natural gas discoveries offshore of Nova Scotia may also provide
additional gas supplies in the future. Advances in technology may increase the
ultimate recoverable reserves from the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin and
offshore basins and bring gas supplies on stream that are currently not
economical to produce.

         The Partnership's short-term financial condition is dependent on the
availability of sufficient and competitively priced supply at Waddington, New
York, the interconnect between the facilities of TransCanada and the
Partnership. With the placement into service by the Partnership of its
Eastchester Extension Project, Waddington has experienced an additional demand
for natural gas in the amount of 230 MDth/d, for which there has been no
corresponding upstream expansion on the TransCanada Canadian Mainline. As a
result, the Partnership's level of revenues that are associated with
discretionary services, such as interruptible and short term firm
transportation, are subject to erosion due to the supply/demand mismatch at
Waddington. It is anticipated that over the next several years, TransCanada will
be expanding its facilities to enable the delivery of incremental volumes of
natural gas to Waddington, thus reducing the risk associated with this
particular component of the Partnership annual revenue stream.


                                       6

         A variety of factors could affect the demand for natural gas in the
markets that the Partnership's pipeline system serves. These factors include:

          o    economic conditions;

          o    fuel conservation measures;

          o    competition from alternative energy sources;

          o    climatic conditions;

          o    legislation or governmental regulations; and

          o    technological advances in fuel economy and energy generation
               devices.

The Partnership cannot predict whether these or other factors will have an
adverse effect on demand for use of the pipeline system or how significant that
adverse effect could be.

         In February 2004, the Partnership concluded construction of the
Eastchester Extension. The new line, located primarily in the Long Island Sound
and progressing down the East River, proceeds on land for approximately 4,000
feet, connecting with the northern section of the gas distribution facilities of
the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, or ConEd. Construction of the
portion of the Eastchester Extension located in the Long Island Sound commenced
in October 2002. However, as a result of delays in obtaining certain
construction authorizations and permits, and delays related to construction
incidents, the in-service date of the completed Eastchester Extension was
February 5, 2004, and the final construction costs were approximately $334
million, rather than the $210 million estimated during the FERC certification
process. This will reduce the Partnership's margins that were anticipated when
the project application was filed with the FERC.

         The Eastchester contracted throughput for 2004 was approximately 210
MDth/d in the summer and 230 MDth/d in the winter. Capacity utilization is
seasonal and is expected to increase when the New York City prices are high
enough to offset the higher cost of fuel. Utilization should increase over time
as market demand grows.

         On November 8, 2001, the Partnership filed an application with the FERC
to construct and operate its "Athens Project." Under this proposal, the
Partnership would construct a second compressor unit at its existing Athens, New
York compressor station. The facilities are designed to provide up to 70 MDth/d
of firm transportation to Athens Generating Company, L. P., or Athens
Generating, with whom the Partnership has executed a firm transportation
agreement for this service. On June 3, 2002, the FERC issued a certificate
authorizing the Partnership to construct the Athens Project facilities. However,
the Partnership anticipated having adequate capacity on its system to serve the
initial 70 MDth/d transportation needs of the Athens Generating facility. As a
result of this evaluation, capacity was made available on an interim basis,
allowing the Partnership to defer the commencement of construction of the Athens
Project. By letter dated April 22, 2003, the Partnership requested a 1-year
extension from the FERC of


                                       7
<PAGE>


the deadline for completion of construction of the Athens Project, or until
December 3, 2004. On May 14, 2003, the FERC granted the Partnership's request
for the 1-year extension.

         The Partnership continued to market this project to potential customers
and continued to evaluate its feasibility, however, because the Partnership was
unable to secure customers prior to the December 3, 2004 construction extension
deadline, the project was cancelled and the $2.3 million in capital expenditures
was written off and charged to expense. (See Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.)

         On November 20, 2001, the Partnership filed an application to construct
and operate a new compressor station to be located in Brookfield, Connecticut.
This facility is designed to provide up to 85 MDth/d of firm transportation
service to southern Long Island and the New York City area. The Partnership
would provide firm transportation service to shippers with whom it has executed
precedent agreements. On October 31, 2002, the FERC issued a certificate
authorizing the construction of the Brookfield Project.

         Based on communications with its prospective customers regarding the
timing of their needs for new firm transportation service, the Partnership had
determined that a temporary deferral of the construction of the Brookfield
Project was necessary. On April 22, 2003, the Partnership requested an eighteen
month extension from the FERC to extend the construction completion time of the
Brookfield Project to October 31, 2005. On May 14, 2003, the FERC granted the
Partnership's request and extended the construction completion date to November
1, 2005. Both original Brookfield Project Shippers, PPL Energy Plus, LLC and
Astoria Energy LLC, have terminated their precedent agreements with the
Partnership. (See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

Competition

         The Partnership faces varying degrees of competition from other major
pipeline systems in the Northeast and alternative energy sources, including
electricity, coal, propane and fuel oils. Although the Partnership has been
successful in increasing its penetration of the greater New York City
marketplace via its Eastchester Project, this marketplace remains extremely
competitive as the traditional gulf coast pipelines continue to expand their
respective facilities to deliver incremental volumes of natural gas to serve
market growth, particularly that resulting from the increase in natural gas
fired electric generation. Another large segment of the Partnership's
marketplace that is susceptible to competition is the dual-fuel electric
generation market which typically avails itself of shorter term discretionary
transportation products. These facilities also have the ability to generate
electricity from No. 6 low sulpher residual oil which continues to be more
economic than the generation of electricity from natural gas. The Partnership
also faces competition with respect to the availability of natural gas supply at
Waddington, NY, its interconnect with the facilities of the TransCanada system
and also the only source for physical receipt of gas into the Iroquois system.
As the eastern Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec continue to develop
natural gas fired electric generation facilities, the markets served by the
Partnership will continue to compete directly with these Canadian markets for
natural gas supplies, primarily originating from the Western Canadian
Sedimentary Basin, and delivered by Transcanada to the eastern portion of the
North American continent. Furthermore, in recent years, the FERC has issued
orders designed to increase competition in the


                                       8
<PAGE>


natural gas industry. These orders have resulted in pipelines competing with
their customers, who are now allowed to resell their unused firm reserved
transportation capacity to other shippers. Firm reserved transportation
contracts traditionally had terms of 10 to 20 years; however, due to increased
competition, new firm reserved transportation contracts are usually of a shorter
duration.

FERC Regulation and Tariff Structure

         General. The Partnership is subject to extensive regulation by the FERC
as a "natural gas company" under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, or the Natural Gas
Act. Under the Natural Gas Act and the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, the FERC
has jurisdiction over the Partnership with respect to virtually all aspects of
its business, including transportation of gas, rates and charges, construction
of new facilities, extension or abandonment of service and facilities, accounts
and records, depreciation and amortization policies, the acquisition and
disposition of facilities, the initiation and discontinuation of services, and
certain other matters. The Partnership, where required, holds certificates of
public convenience and necessity issued by the FERC covering its facilities,
activities and services.

         The Partnership's rates and charges for transportation in interstate
commerce are subject to regulation by the FERC. FERC regulations and the
Partnership's FERC-approved tariff allow the Partnership to establish and
collect rates designed to give it an opportunity to recover all actually and
prudently incurred operations and maintenance costs of its pipeline system,
including taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization and a regulated equity
return. The FERC has granted the Partnership the authority to negotiate rates
with its current and potential shippers. The flexibility of such rates will
allow the Partnership to respond to market conditions, as well as permit the
Partnership to negotiate rates or a rate formula that will meet the specific
needs of individual shippers. This ability to negotiate rates will be an
important tool in attracting the growing electric generation market to the
Partnership's pipeline system.

         Except in the limited context of negotiated rates, the rates the
Partnership charges may not exceed the just and reasonable rates approved by the
FERC. In addition, the Partnership is prohibited from granting any undue
preference to any person, or maintaining any unreasonable difference in its
rates or terms and conditions of service.

         In general, there are two methods available for changing the rate
charged to shippers, provided that the transportation service contracts do not
bar such changes. Under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act and applicable FERC
regulations, a pipeline may voluntarily seek a change, generally by providing at
least 30 days' prior notice to the FERC of the proposed changes and filing the
appropriate rate change application. If the FERC determines that a proposed rate
change may not be just and reasonable as required by the Natural Gas Act, then
the FERC may suspend the rate change for up to five months and set the matter
for an investigation. Subsequent to any suspension ordered by the FERC, the
proposed change may be placed in effect by the pipeline pending final FERC
review. If the pipeline chooses to do this, any increase reflected in the
proposed changes will, in the ordinary course of events, be collected subject to
refund. It is also possible that a pipeline seeking to increase the rates it
charges its shippers pursuant to a rate change application under Section 4 of
the Natural Gas Act may, after review by the FERC, have its rates reduced by the
FERC instead. Under Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act, on its own


                                        9
<PAGE>


motion or based on a complaint filed by a customer of a pipeline or other
interested person, the FERC may initiate a proceeding seeking to compel a
pipeline to change any rate or term or condition of service which is on file. If
the FERC determines that an existing rate or condition is unjust, unreasonable,
unduly discriminatory or preferential then any rate reduction or change in
service term or condition which is ordered at the conclusion of such a
proceeding is generally effective prospectively from the date of the order
requiring such change.

         The nature and degree of regulation of natural gas companies have
changed significantly during the past 10 years, and there is no assurance that
further substantial changes will not occur or that existing policies and rules
will not be applied in a new or different manner, particularly in light of the
FERC's decision to seek comments on its negotiated rate policies from companies
in the natural gas industry.

         Regulatory Proceedings. After extensive negotiations between the
Partnership, its customers and other interested parties, on August 29, 2003, the
Partnership filed with the FERC an offer of Stipulation and Settlement Agreement
in Docket No. RP03-589, which implements four scheduled reductions to the
Partnership's rates. By order dated October 24, 2003, the FERC approved the
settlement. The principal elements of the settlement are:

          o    a reduction in maximum demand rates phased-in over a four-year
               period that began on January 1, 2004;

          o    neither the settlement rates nor any principles underlying the
               settlement apply to the Eastchester Extension, which was
               certificated in Docket No. CP00-232-000;

          o    the ability of the Partnership to file a rate case under Section
               4 of the Natural Gas Act is limited to establishing rates for the
               Eastchester Extension, while parties retain all rights to
               challenge the Partnership's proposed Eastchester rates.
               Additionally, the settlement provides that the Partnership will
               establish, in a separate proceeding, a maximum recourse tariff
               rate for non-Eastchester shippers that use the Eastchester
               Extension. Eastchester shippers would also pay the applicable
               incremental fuel charge approved by the FERC in an unpublished
               delegated letter order issued April 8, 2003 in Docket No.
               RP03-304-000;

          o    a rate moratorium under which the Partnership may not file an
               application to increase rates pursuant to the Natural Gas Act
               prior to July 1, 2007, with any subsequent increase effective no
               earlier than January 1, 2008. Further, no party may file for
               reductions in rates pursuant to the Natural Gas Act prior to
               March 1, 2007 or receive such reductions prior to January 1, 2008
               (the rate settlement contains certain limited exceptions to the
               moratorium for tariff changes not intended to effect changes in
               the Partnership's firm reserved service quality or rates); and


                                       10
<PAGE>


          o    retention by the Partnership of revenues associated with new
               volumes, facilities, services or classes of service added during
               the term of the settlement.

         The settlement establishes the Partnership's base tariff recourse
rates, or settlement rates, for the years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The
settlement rates reflect annual step-downs, which over the term of the
settlement will reduce the Partnership's transportation rates by approximately
13% (e.g., the 100% load factor interzone rate will be reduced from the then
existing level of $0.4234 per Dth, to the January 1, 2007 level of $0.3700 per
Dth, for a total cumulative reduction of $0.0534 per Dth). Based on 2003
long-term firm service contracts, the settlement resulted in reductions in
revenues of $3.8 million in 2004, and will result in reductions in revenues of
$1.5 million in 2005, $1.0 million in 2006 and $2.5 million in 2007. Under the
settlement, the first step-down in rates became effective on July 1, 2004.

         Eastchester Extension Rate Case filed with the FERC. The Partnership
received final approval and was issued a certificate to construct the
Eastchester Extension on December 26, 2001 in Docket No. CP00-232-000.
Construction on the extension was completed in late January 2004 and the project
commenced service on February 5, 2004. In anticipation of the in-service date,
on January 2, 2004, the Partnership submitted its rate filing pursuant to
Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. ss. 717c, and Part 154 (18
C.F.R. Part 154) of the regulations of the FERC.

         The Partnership proposed a rate of $0.8444 per Dth on a 100%
load-factor basis (as compared with the Partnership's existing 100% load-factor
inter-zone rate of $0.4234 per Dth, which served as the initial rate per the
certificate order). The increased rate reflected, among other things, an
increase in plant costs from the certificate estimate of $210 million to a level
of approximately $334 million. The higher plant costs are the result of a number
of factors, including delays in obtaining construction permits and
authorizations; unanticipated environmental costs; a failed directional drill;
higher than expected labor costs; and construction incidents associated with
constructing the Project in a highly congested marine corridor. Various
customers filed motions in response to the Partnership's requested rate change.
On January 30, 2004 the FERC issued an order accepting the rates and making them
effective July 1, 2004, subject to refund and subject to the outcome of
hearings. On February 17, 2004, a pre-hearing conference before the FERC
resulted in a procedural schedule outlining the various phases of the
Partnership's rate filing proceeding.

         On June 15 and July 8, 2004, settlement conferences were convened at
the FERC's offices to attempt to negotiate a settlement of the issues in the
rate case. As a result of those conferences, the parties reached a settlement in
principle of all issues that was supported or not opposed by all participants to
the proceeding. On July 15, 2004 the Partnership submitted a motion to the
Presiding Administrative Law Judge to suspend the procedural schedule to allow
the parties to formalize the settlement agreement; such motion was granted by
the judge on July 16. Following additional discussions and negotiations with the
parties, the Partnership submitted a comprehensive settlement agreement on
August 12, 2004. The settlement agreement provides for recourse rates of $0.66
per Dth for the period July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2007 and $0.635 per Dth
for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2011. In addition, the
Partnership will not include in future rates any future legal fees (incurred
after June 30, 2004)


                                       11
<PAGE>


incurred in litigation regarding construction incidents associated with the
original Eastchester Project. A moratorium on rate changes, as spelled out more
fully in the settlement agreement, will also be in effect through December 31,
2011. The settlement agreement was approved by the FERC on October 13, 2004 and
became final on November 13, 2004.

         In addition to settling the Eastchester recourse rates as set forth
above, the Partnership has also entered into negotiated rate agreements with all
of the initial shippers on the Eastchester Extension Project. The negotiated
rates on a 100% load-factor equivalent basis range between $0.47 and $0.63 per
Dth depending on whether the agreement was signed pre or post construction and
the length of the negotiated contract.

         The recourse rates and negotiated individual Eastchester shipper rates,
coupled with cost overruns experienced on the Eastchester Project, will reduce
the Partnership's margins that were anticipated when the project application was
filed with FERC.

         Rulemaking on FERC's Standard of Conduct for Transportation Providers.
On November 25, 2003 the FERC issued Order No. 2004 in FERC Docket No. RM01-10.
FERC Order No. 2004 adopts new standards of conduct that apply uniformly to
interstate natural gas pipelines and public utilities and that replace standards
of conduct currently in effect. The standards of conduct are designed to ensure
that transmission providers do not provide preferential access to service or
information to affiliated entities. Under the schedule adopted by the FERC, on
February 9, 2004 the Partnership submitted its plan and schedule for
implementing Order No. 2004. As required by said schedule, on June 1, 2004 the
Partnership posted its revised standards of conduct on its internet website,
identifying the procedures established for implementing the FERC's requirements.
Additionally, as required by the order, on September 22, 2004, the Partnership
developed and posted on its website, a written procedure implementing its
standards of conduct and trained all its employees subject to the standard.
Management does not believe that the requirements of Order No. 2004 will have a
material impact on the Partnership.

Safety Regulations

         The Partnership's operations are also subject to regulation by the
United States Department of Transportation under the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety
Act of 1968, as amended, or the NGPSA, relating to the design, installation,
testing, construction, operation and management of the Partnership's pipeline
system. The NGPSA requires any entity that owns or operates pipeline facilities
to comply with applicable safety standards, to establish and maintain inspection
and maintenance plans and to comply with such plans.

         The NGPSA was amended by the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 to
require the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety to consider
protection of the environment when developing minimum pipeline safety
regulations. In addition, the amendments required the Department of
Transportation to issue pipeline regulations concerning, among other things, the
circumstances under which emergency flow restriction devices should be required,
training and qualification standards for personnel involved in maintenance and
operation, and requirements for periodic integrity inspections, including
periodic inspection of facilities in navigable waters which could pose a hazard
to navigation or public safety. The


                                       12
<PAGE>


amendments also narrowed the scope of gas pipeline exemptions pertaining to
underground storage tanks under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The
Partnership believes its operations comply in all material respects with the
NGPSA; however, the industry, including the Partnership, could be required to
incur additional capital expenditures and increased costs depending upon
regulations issued by the Department of Transportation under the NGPSA and/or
future pipeline safety legislation.

Environmental Matters

         Environmental laws and regulations have changed substantially and
rapidly over the last 20 years, and the Partnership anticipates that there will
be continuing changes. Increasingly strict federal, state or local environmental
restrictions, limitations and regulations have resulted in increased operating
costs for the Partnership, and it is possible that the costs of compliance with
environmental laws and regulations will continue to increase. To the extent that
environmental costs are normal costs of doing business, these costs would be
recoverable under the Partnership's rates through future rate proceedings.

         Current Operations. At each of the Partnership's five natural gas
compressor stations, IPOC routinely monitors environmental standards and
controls and, to date, IPOC has found that environmental permits and regulations
are being complied with in all material respects. Additionally, IPOC intends to
monitor environmental standards and controls at all new facilities.

Employees

         The Partnership does not directly employ its personnel. The
Partnership's personnel and services are provided by IPOC, its wholly owned
subsidiary, pursuant to the Partnership's operating agreement with IPOC. The
Partnership reimburses IPOC for all reasonable expenses incurred in operating
the Partnership's pipeline system including salaries and wages and related taxes
and benefits. As of December 31, 2004, IPOC had 115 employees.

Risk Factors

         The Partnership's business involves significant risks and uncertainties
including those described below.

The Partnership may not be able to maintain its contracts with existing shippers
or enter into contracts with new shippers

         As of December 31, 2004, approximately 85% of the subscribed capacity
of the Partnership's pipeline system was contracted through at least November 1,
2014. The Partnership cannot give any assurances that it will be able to extend
or replace these contracts at the end of their initial terms or that, if the
Partnership does extend or replace its existing firm reserved transportation
service contracts, it will be able to do so at the maximum rates that the FERC
will authorize it to charge. The extension or replacement of the existing
long-term contracts with the Partnership's shippers and its ability to enter
into similar contracts for the total increased capacity of its pipeline system
to be generated by its expansions depends on a number of factors beyond the
Partnership's control, including:


                                       13
<PAGE>


          o    the supply and price of natural gas in Canada and the United
               States;

          o    competition to deliver gas to the Northeast from alternative
               sources of supply;

          o    the demand for gas in the Northeast;

          o    whether transportation of gas pursuant to long-term contracts
               continues to be market practice; and

          o    whether the Partnership's business strategy, including its
               expansion strategy, is successful.

         If the Partnership materially breaches its obligations under any
transportation service contract, the affected shipper may have various remedies,
including termination of its transportation service contract. The Partnership
cannot assure that it will be able to replace a contract terminated for breach
with a comparable contract. If these contracts are terminated or are not
extended or replaced with comparable contracts, or if the Partnership is unable
to secure contracts for all the capacity to be generated by its expansions, the
Partnership's cash flows and ability to service its outstanding senior notes may
be adversely affected.

The Partnership is dependent on the performance of its shippers

         The Partnership is dependent upon shippers for revenues from contracted
transportation capacity on its pipeline system. The firm reserved transportation
service contracts obligate the shippers to pay reservation charges regardless of
whether or not they use their reserved capacity to transport natural gas on the
pipeline system, subject to limited rights in favor of the shippers in certain
circumstances to receive reservation charge credits. As a result, the
Partnership's profitability generally depends upon the continued
creditworthiness of the shippers rather than upon the amount of natural gas
transported. During the last three years, the energy industry, which includes
the Partnership's firm transportation shippers, experienced significant credit
and liquidity issues and credit rating agency downgrades.

         On July 8, 2003, PG&E Corporation reported that NEGT (f/k/a PG&E
National Energy Group) and a number of its subsidiaries filed voluntary
petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These
subsidiaries include, PG&E Energy Trading Holdings Corporation, PG&E Energy
Trading-Gas Corporation, PG&E Energy Trading-Power Corporation, PG&E ET
Investments Corporation, and US Gen New England, Inc. (US Gen NE).

         US Gen NE had two firm transportation service agreements with the
Partnership, one for 40,702 Dth/d which expires on November 1, 2013 and one for
12,000 Dth/d which expires on April 1, 2018. The total monthly demand charges
for both contracts was $0.5 million. On September 5, 2003, the bankruptcy court
authorized the rejection of US Gen NE's two firm transportation contracts. The
Partnership has remarketed a portion of the capacity on a short-term basis and
plans to continue to remarket and resell this capacity in the future.


                                       14
<PAGE>


         On October 15, 2003, the Partnership filed a proof of claim with the
bankruptcy court for $49.8 million, representing the present value of the two
rejected contracts. On March 2, 2005, representatives of the Partnership and US
Gen NE agreed in principal to a Settlement Agreement to resolve the claim. The
settlement is in the process of being approved by both parties. (See Note 7 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

         The Partnership's rates are calculated on the basis of an assumed
contracted capacity and its revenue projections assume that shippers will pay
these rates as required by their contracts. A prolonged economic downturn in the
energy industry or a broader economic downturn affecting the northeastern Unites
States could negatively affect the ability of some or all of the shippers to
fulfill their obligations under the transportation service contracts. A failure
to pay by any of its shippers, for any length of time during which the
Partnership does not succeed in obtaining a creditworthy replacement shipper
would decrease the Partnership's revenues and cash flows and could have an
adverse impact on the Partnership's ability to make payments on its outstanding
senior notes.


Changes in regulation and rates may adversely affect the Partnership's results
of operations

         Because its pipeline system is an interstate natural gas pipeline, the
Partnership is subject to regulation as a "natural gas company" under the
Natural Gas Act of 1938, as amended, or the Natural Gas Act. The Natural Gas Act
makes the rates the Partnership can charge its shippers and other terms and
conditions of service subject to FERC review and the possibility of modification
in rate proceedings. Under the Natural Gas Act, the Partnership's rates must be
"just and reasonable," as determined by the FERC. In rate review proceedings,
the FERC has the responsibility to ensure that the rates that interstate
pipelines, such as the Partnership's, charge are not greater than those
necessary to enable the pipeline to recover the costs incurred to construct,
own, operate and maintain its pipeline system and to afford the pipeline an
opportunity to earn a reasonable rate of return. Under FERC regulations,
shippers have the opportunity to contest the Partnership's rates and tariff
structure. The Partnership cannot assure that the FERC will not alter or refine
its preferred methodology for establishing pipeline rates and tariff structure.
It is possible that changes in the FERC's ratemaking policies could result in
lower rates than those the Partnership could charge under the existing
methodology, or could make a large proportion of the Partnership's rate subject
to recovery on the basis of actual quantities of natural gas that the
Partnership transports, rather than on the basis of firm capacity reservations.
Such changes could therefore adversely affect the Partnership's revenues and
ability to service its senior notes.

         Under the terms of the transportation service contracts and in
accordance with the FERC's rate making principles, the Partnership is only
permitted to recover costs associated with the construction and operation of its
pipeline system which are actually, reasonably and prudently incurred and are
included in its pipeline system's regulatory rate base. There can be no
assurance that all costs the Partnership incurs, including costs incurred in
constructing its expansions, will be recoverable through its rates.

         In addition, on July 21, 2004 the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion in BP West Coast Products,
LLC v. FERC, 374 F. 3d 1263 (D.C. Cir. 2004) that addressed the FERC's policies
relating to recovery of income taxes by an


                                       15
<PAGE>


oil pipeline limited partnership. Under the FERC's pre-existing policy,
partnerships were allowed to include income taxes in jurisdictional rates. In BP
West Coast, however, the DC Circuit held that the FERC had not adequately
justified its policy of providing such an oil pipeline limited partnership with
an income tax allowance, and remanded the issue to the FERC for further action.
On December 2, 2004 the FERC issued a "Request for Comments" in Docket No.
PL05-5, seeking comments on the scope of the DC Circuit's order and whether it
applied outside the specific facts of that case. On January 25, 2005 the
Partnership and others submitted comments to the FERC demonstrating that the
Court's opinion should not apply to limited partnerships such as Iroquois, and
that the FERC's pre-existing policy should continue to apply. The FERC has not
yet acted on the comments filed in that docket, and it is not known when such
action will occur. Given the status of the proceeding, the Partnership cannot
give any assurances as to its continued ability to recover income taxes as a
component of its rates in the future.

A decline in the availability of Western Canadian natural gas may reduce
shippers' willingness to contract for capacity on the Partnership's pipeline

         The Partnership's long-term financial condition is dependent on the
continued availability of Western Canadian natural gas for import into the
United States. If the availability of Western Canadian natural gas were to
decline over the initial term of the Partnership's current transportation
service contracts, if upstream transportation service on the TransCanada
pipeline systems were to become constrained or if the price of Western Canada
natural gas were to increase significantly, existing shippers may not extend
their contracts and the Partnership may be unable to find replacement sources of
natural gas for the pipeline system's capacity. The Partnership cannot give any
assurances as to the availability of additional sources of gas that can
interconnect with its pipeline system.

         Continued sales of Western Canadian natural gas to the United States
will also depend on:

          o    the level of exploration, drilling, reserves and production of
               Western Canada Sedimentary Basin natural gas and the price of
               such natural gas;

          o    the accessibility of Western Canada Sedimentary Basin natural gas
               which may be affected by weather, natural disaster or other
               impediments to access, including capacity constraints on the
               TransCanada pipeline systems;

          o    the price and quality of natural gas available from alternative
               United States and Canadian sources and the rates to transport
               Canadian natural gas to the United States border; and

          o    the regulatory environments in the United States and Canada,
               including the continued willingness of the governments of both
               countries to permit the import to the United States of natural
               gas from Canada on a basis that is commercially acceptable to the
               Partnership's shippers and their customers.

Failure of the pipeline system's operations may result in liabilities for the
Partnership and reduce its revenues or impair its ability to meet its
obligations under its senior notes

         There are risks associated with the operation of a complex pipeline
system, such as operational hazards and unforeseen interruptions caused by
events beyond the Partnership's control. These include adverse weather
conditions, accidents, breakdown or failure of equipment or processes,
performance of the facilities below expected levels of capacity and efficiency
and catastrophic events such as explosions, fires, earthquakes, floods,
landslides or other similar events beyond the Partnership's control. Liabilities
incurred and interruptions to the operation of the pipeline caused by such
events could reduce revenues generated by the Partnership and increase the
Partnership's expenses and impair the Partnership's ability to meet its
obligations under the terms of its senior notes. Insurance proceeds may not be
adequate to cover all liabilities incurred, lost revenues or increased expenses.

Lawsuits against the Partnership could adversely affect its operating results

         In the course of expanding its natural gas pipeline and related
facilities, the Partnership faces typical construction risks, including, but not
limited to, risks relating to the existence of sensitive property owned by third
parties and environmental and geological problems. In constructing the
Eastchester Extension, the Partnership faced particular risks associated with
the construction of a large, mainly underwater, pipeline. For additional
information regarding litigation arising from the Eastchester Extension
construction, see "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" below. For a description of
additional legal proceedings in which the Partnership is currently involved, see
Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Partnership may not succeed in its planned expansions

         The Partnership's ability to engage in any expansion project will be
subject to, among other things, approval of its management committee,
restrictions under the indenture relating to the Partnership's senior notes and
numerous business, economic, regulatory, competitive and political uncertainties
beyond the Partnership's control. Therefore, the Partnership cannot guarantee
that any proposed expansion or extension project will be undertaken or, if
undertaken, will be successful.

         The success of any planned expansions, once undertaken, may depend on
several factors, including, among others, the following:

          o    other existing pipelines may provide transportation services to
               the area to which the Partnership is expanding;

          o    any entity, upon obtaining the proper regulatory approvals, may
               construct new competing pipelines or increase the capacity of
               existing competing pipelines;

          o    a competitor's new or upgraded pipeline could offer
               transportation services that are more desirable to shippers
               because of location, facilities or other factors;


                                       17
<PAGE>


          o    shippers may not be willing to sign long-term contracts for
               service which would make use of a planned expansion; and

          o    laws and regulations, including permit requirements, may become
               more stringent so as to affect materially the viability of the
               expansions.

         The Partnership would also require additional capital to fund any
planned expansions of its pipeline system. If the Partnership fails to generate
sufficient funds in the future, it may have to delay or abandon its expansion
plans, in which case it will lose the ability to capitalize expenditures on such
abandoned expansions. Also, a proposed expansion may cost more than planned to
complete and such excess costs may not be recoverable.

The Partnership is subject to laws relating to the protection of the environment
that could involve substantial compliance costs and liabilities

         The Partnership's operations are subject to federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment and public
safety. Risks of substantial costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline
operations and the Partnership cannot guarantee that significant costs and
liabilities will not be incurred under applicable environmental and safety laws
and regulations, including those relating to claims for damages to property and
persons resulting from the Partnership's pipeline system operations.

         Moreover, it is possible that the development or discovery of other
facts or conditions, such as increasingly stringent changes to federal, state or
local environmental laws and regulations, and enforcement policies thereunder,
could result in increased costs and liabilities to the Partnership. The
Partnership is unable to predict the effect that any future changes in
environmental laws and regulations will have on its future capital expenditures,
earnings or competitive position and it cannot guarantee that environmental
costs incurred by it will be recoverable under its FERC-approved tariff.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         The Partnership's principal executive office is located in Shelton,
Connecticut in approximately 29,100 square feet of leased office space under a
lease agreement that expires on April 30, 2011. The Partnership also leases
approximately 10,500 square feet of warehouse and office space in Oxford,
Connecticut under a lease agreement that expires on March 31, 2006. The
Partnership believes that its facilities are adequate for its current operations
and that additional leased space can be obtained if needed.

         The Partnership holds the right, title and interest to and in its
pipeline system. With respect to real property, the pipeline system falls into
two categories: (i) parcels which the Partnership owns, such as compressor
station and meter station sites; and (ii) parcels in which the Partnership has a
leasehold interest, easement or right-of-way from landowners permitting the use
of land for the construction and operation of the pipeline system. The
Partnership obtained the right to construct and operate its pipeline system
across certain property through negotiations and through the exercise of the
power of eminent domain, where necessary. The Partnership continues to have the
power of eminent domain in each of the states in which it operates its


                                       18
<PAGE>


pipeline system. The Partnership also leases a right-of-way easement on Long
Island, New York, which expires in 2030. The Partnership believes that it has
satisfactory interests in all of the properties making up its pipeline system.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Eastchester Construction Incidents

         On November 16, 2002, certain undersea electric transmission cables
owned by Long Island Lighting Partnership d/b/a The Long Island Power Authority,
or LIPA, and Connecticut Light and Power Partnership, or CL&P, were allegedly
damaged and/or severed when an anchor deployed by the DSV MR. SONNY, a work
vessel taking part in the construction of the Eastchester Extension, allegedly
allided with the cables. The MR. SONNY allegedly is owned by Cal Dive
International, Inc., or Cal Dive, a subcontractor of the Partnership's general
contractor, Horizon Offshore Contractors, Inc., or Horizon.

         On December 6, 2002, Cal Dive commenced a maritime limitation of
liability action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
New York, seeking exoneration from or limitation of liability in respect of this
incident. LIPA, CL&P, the Partnership, Horizon and Thales GeoSolutions Group,
Ltd. (another of Horizon's subcontractors) have all filed claims in the
limitation action. In addition, LIPA, CL&P and their subrogated underwriters,
collectively refered to as the "Cable Interests," filed third-party claims
against the Partnership and its operating subsidiary, IPOC, as well as Horizon
and Thales, seeking recovery for their alleged losses. The Partnership filed
cross-claims against Horizon and Thales for indemnification in respect of the
Cable Interests' claims, and Horizon filed a third-party claim against Thales.
The Cable Interests subsequently agreed to dismiss their claim against IPOC, but
without prejudice to their right to re-file that claim if they deem necessary.

         The Cable Interests originally claimed a total of $34.3 million in
damages, consisting of $14.4 million for repairs and repair related costs,
including LIPA and CL&P internal costs and overheads of $4.7 million, as well as
$19.9 million in consequential damages. In September 2004, the Cable Interests
amended their claim to $23.5 million, consisting of approximately $12.9 million
for repairs and repair related costs and $10.6 million in consequential damages.

         A mediation was conducted in February 2005, at the conclusion of which
all parties agreed to terms for a global settlement of the litigation. Neither
the Partnership nor IPOC will be contributing to the settlement, but will be
given full releases from all parties. A formal settlement agreement is being
negotiated, with the goal of all funds paid by April 15, 2005.

         In addition to the foregoing, the Partnership has been advised that the
Town of Huntington, New York may assert a claim against the Partnership alleging
violations of certain municipal ordinances on the basis of a claim that
dielectric fluid was released from the cable as a result of the incident. On
March 28, 2005, the Partnership and the Town of Huntington executed a settlement
agreement resolving this matter and another relating to restoration of Town
property. The Partnership does not admit any liability but will pay $45,100 to
resolve these matters.


                                       19
<PAGE>


         On February 27, 2003, the New York Power Authority, or NYPA, informed
the Partnership that one of four cables that comprised its Y-49 facility, which
is a 600 megawatt undersea electrical power interconnection between Westchester
County and LIPA's transmission system at Sands Point, New York, allegedly
sustained damage causing a disruption of power transmission over the line and
leakage of dielectric fluid. NYPA alleges that the damage was caused by an
anchor of Horizon's pipeline lay barge, the GULF HORIZON, which was in the
vicinity of NYPA's cable and was involved in work in the Eastchester Extension
at the time of the casualty.

         By letter dated March 25, 2003, counsel representing NYPA and LIPA
informed the Partnership that they intend to hold the Partnership, Horizon and
Horizon's subcontractor, Thales, jointly and severally liable for the full
extent of their damages, which they allege includes emergency response costs,
repair of the damaged electrical cable, loss of use and disruption of service,
and certain other as yet unspecified damages arising out of or relating to the
incident.

         The Partnership is a party to an agreement with NYPA, which provides,
among other things, that the Partnership will indemnify NYPA for damage to the
Y-49 cables, which results from the Partnership's or its contractors'
negligence, acts, omissions or willful misconduct. Under the terms of the
construction contract between Horizon and the Partnership, Horizon is obligated
to indemnify the Partnership for Horizon's negligence associated with the
construction of the Eastchester Extension. Horizon is also contractually
responsible for its sub-contractor's negligence. As required by the contract,
Horizon named the Partnership as an additional named insured under Horizon's
policies of insurance. The Partnership is still investigating whether Horizon's
insurance is adequate to cover the Partnership for its potential losses in this
matter. The Partnership may also be entitled to indemnity as an additional
insured under Thales' policies of insurance. The Partnership has placed Horizon
and its underwriters on notice that it intends to hold Horizon responsible. The
Partnership has further requested that Horizon assume its defense and hold it
harmless in respect of this claim; however, to date, Horizon has rejected this
request. The Partnership has also placed its own insurance underwriters on
notice and they are funding the costs for the Partnership's defense. The
Partnership also commenced a declaratory judgment action against Horizon's
primary liability insurer seeking coverage and is currently investigating the
applicability of all other available insurance coverages.

         On August 15, 2003, Horizon commenced a maritime limitation of
liability action in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Texas, Houston Division, captioned In the Matter of Horizon Vessels Inc., as
owner of the GULF HORIZON, seeking exoneration from or limitation of liability
in connection with this incident. Horizon's suit contends that if it is not
entitled to exoneration, its liability should be limited to $19.3 million,
representing the value of the GULF HORIZON and her pending freight, and
Horizon's insurers have provided an undertaking (subject to policy defenses) to
pay any judgment that may be rendered in the suit up to $19.3 million. NYPA,
LIPA and the insurers of the Y-49 cable, collectively referred to as the "Y-49
Cable Interests," also have filed claims in the limitation action asserting
total damages of approximately $18.2 million. On November 12, 2003, the
Partnership filed an Answer in Horizon's action, requesting that the limitation
of liability action be dismissed and/or that the limitation injunction be lifted
to permit the Partnership to pursue its claims against Horizon in the forum of
its choice, or, in the alternative, that Horizon be denied limitation rights
under the


                                       20
<PAGE>


Limitation Act. The Partnership also filed a claim in Horizon's limitation
action seeking indemnity for any liability it may be found to have to the Y-49
Cable Interests as a result of the NYPA cable incident as well as all losses
suffered by the Partnership as a result thereof, and, on a protective basis,
seeking full damages for Horizon's breaches and deficient performance under the
Partnership/Horizon construction contract, which claims are unrelated to the
NYPA cable incident. (For resolution of these unrelated claims, see Eastchester
Contractor Settlement discussion below.) Thales also has filed a claim in the
Horizon limitation action seeking indemnity for any liability it may be found to
have to the Y-49 Cable Interests or the Partnership. The Y-49 Cable Interests
and the Partnership both filed motions to transfer the Texas action to the
United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Thales joined
in those motions. By order entered February 27, 2004, the court denied the
motions to transfer. However, in doing so, the court confirmed that the
Partnership could pursue its contract claims against Horizon outside of the
limitation action and that Horizon had no right to limit its liability as to the
Partnership's contract claims. The Y-49 Cable Interests filed cross claims
against the Partnership alleging claims under the Crossing Agreement between the
Partnership and NYPA and in common law tort.

         The Y-49 Cable Interests filed a motion for partial summary judgment
against the Partnership on October 13, 2004. The motion asks the court to find
the Partnership liable for indemnity under the Crossing Agreement for all costs
and expenses incurred by the Y-49 Cable Interests directly related to the
emergency response to the incident and for the costs and expenses of the
temporary and permanent repairs. The Partnership believes the motion is
premature and has opposed the motion. The motion is now fully briefed and
pending before the court for decision.

         The parties presently are engaging in document discovery, and the
Partnership is still in the process of investigating this incident and
evaluating its rights, obligations and responsibilities. Given the preliminary
stage of this matter, the Partnership is unable to assess the likelihood of an
unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of loss, if any, in the event of
an unfavorable outcome.

         The Partnership has also learned that as part of the Eastchester
construction there may have been one or more violations by the contractor of the
exclusionary zones established around certain specified areas of possible
cultural resources, namely underwater archeological sites such as shipwrecks,
along the pipeline's marine route and the contractor may have placed anchors
outside the authorized construction corridor. At this time, the Partnership has
no information that any sites were in fact damaged. The Partnership has informed
the FERC and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation of this matter. At this time, the Partnership is unable to
determine if there will be any material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial condition and results of operations due to this matter.

         Pursuant to its agreements with the owners of the electric transmission
cables that the Eastchester facilities cross in the Long Island Sound, the
Partnership performed certain post-construction surveys to verify the condition
of the cable crossings and confirm the location of the pipeline. Specifically,
the Partnership had constructed a "structure" over the Y-50 cable system
consisting of lightweight flexible concrete mattresses under the pipeline,
specially fabricated concrete blocks adjacent to the pipeline and crushed rock.
The surveys and additional follow-up


                                       21
<PAGE>


studies indicate that the "structure" may have settled to a greater extent than
originally anticipated and that its location is believed to be 65 feet north of
the location where the pipeline crosses the Y-50 cable. The Partnership has been
discussing this matter with the owner of the Y-50 cable system as to whether and
how these issues should be modified and notified the FERC by letter dated
September 3, 2004. Given the preliminary stage of this matter, the Partnership
is unable to assess the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount
or range of costs, if any, in the event of an unfavorable outcome.

         No liabilities have been recorded by the Partnership in conjunction
with any of the preceding legal matters.

Eastchester Contractor Litigation Settlement

         On March 11, 2005, the Partnership, IPOC, Horizon and its
Subcontractors reached an agreement resolving the claims and counter claims made
in the Horizon, Weeks, Cal Dive and Tom Allen proceedings described below,
collectively referred to as Eastchester Contract Suits. In addition, the
Partnership has reached an agreement in principle with certain of its insurance
carriers regarding the recovery of a portion of the costs related to a failed
directional pipeline drill that occurred during the construction of the
Eastchester lateral. The Partnership's projected $334 million total Eastchester
capital costs included the costs for the settlement of the Eastchester Contract
Suits and the expected insurance recovery associated with the directional drill.

         On January 20, 2004, Horizon Offshore Contractors, Inc. filed a
complaint against the Partnership and IPOC in the Supreme Court of the State of
New York, New York County (Index No. 04/600140). The complaint alleges that the
Partnership wrongfully terminated its agreement with Horizon to perform the
Eastchester construction work in Long Island Sound and that the Partnership
committed other breaches of such agreement in conjunction with the Eastchester
construction work. The complaint seeks damages in excess of $40 million. On
April 7, 2004, the Partnership filed in such court proceeding an amended answer
and counterclaims against Horizon totaling in excess of $66 million.

         On March 1, 2004 and in a duplicate filing on March 9, 2004, Cal Dive
filed a Mechanic's Lien totaling $3.3 million in the offices of the Clerk of
Bronx and Suffolk Counties, respectively. Cal Dive was in privity with Horizon
and provided services to Horizon during the Eastchester construction work. The
Partnership instructed Horizon to address the lien notice pursuant to its
contractual obligations. The Partnership also demanded further information from
Cal Dive on the particulars of its lien. The Partnership does not believe it
owes Cal Dive any monies and plans to vigorously contest the validity of the
liens. Furthermore, the Partnership, on April 1 and April 5, 2004 in compliance
with Section 6.2(c)(ii) of its Second Supplemental Indenture, dated August 13,
2003, posted bonds to discharge the Mechanic's Liens.

         On September 10, 2004, Cal Dive filed a complaint against the
Partnership in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York. The complaint alleges that Cal Dive has not been paid $3.3 million for
work that it performed on the Eastchester project. The Partnership filed an
answer to the Cal Dive action on October 15, 2004 and commenced a third party
action against Horizon on October 25, 2004.


                                       22
<PAGE>


         On June 14, 2004, Tom Allen Construction Company, or Tom Allen, one of
Horizon's subcontractors for the Eastchester project, filed a complaint against
Horizon and the Partnership in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New
York County. Tom Allen was responsible for performing the directional drills at
Northport and Hunts Point. Tom Allen is claiming that it has not been paid for
work associated with a failed directional drill at Hunt's Point and is seeking
$5.6 million in damages from Horizon and the Partnership. The Partnership served
an answer to the complaint and various discovery demands on July 30, 2004.

         On July 21, 2004 Weeks Marine Inc., or Weeks, one of Horizon's
subcontractors for the Eastchester project, filed a complaint against Horizon
and the Partnership in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York
County. Weeks was responsible for certain marine construction operations
including dredging, rock placement, fabric placement and associated activities
along the Eastchester project. Weeks is claiming that it has not been paid for
work associated with the marine portion of the Eastchester project and is
seeking $18.5 million in damages from Horizon and the Partnership. The
Partnership filed an answer to the complaint on August 16, 2004.

Capobianco, A. vs. Iroquois Gas & Consolidated Edison Company of New York

         On January 28, 2004, Anthony Capobianco filed a complaint against the
Partnership, IPOC and Consolidated Edison Company of New York in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, New York County (Index No. 101366/04). The
complaint alleges that Mr. Capobianco, an employee of Hallen Construction
Company, Inc., or Hallen, sustained personal injuries resulting from an
electrical current causing severe electrical shock while performing his duties
as part of the construction of the Hunts Point segment of the Partnership's
Eastchester project. Hallen was the Partnership's contractor employed to
construct that segment of the project. The claim is asserted for damages in the
amount of $10 million. The Partnership has notified its insurance carriers and
an answer has been filed to the complaint. Hallen's insurer has agreed to
indemnify and defend the Partnership in this action up to the $1 million limit
of its general liability insurance policy. Additionally, Hallen has coverage
under an excess liability policy up to $20 million. Given the preliminary nature
of this matter, at this time, the Partnership is unable to determine the
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of loss, if any,
in the event of an unfavorable outcome.

National Energy & Gas Transmission Inc. (NEGT) and its Subsidiaries' Bankruptcy
Filing

         On July 8, 2003, PG&E Corporation reported that NEGT and a number of
its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These subsidiaries include PG&E Energy Trading
Holdings Corporation, PG&E Energy Trading-Gas Corporation, PG&E Energy
Trading-Power Corporation, PG&E ET Investments Corporation, and US Gen New
England, Inc.

         US Gen NE had two firm transportation service agreements with the
Partnership, one for 40,702 Dth/d, which expires on November 1, 2013, and one
for 12,000 Dth/d, which expires on April 1, 2018. The total monthly demand
charges for both contracts were $0.5 million. On September 5, 2003, the
bankruptcy court authorized the rejection of US Gen NE's two firm transportation
contracts. In February 2004, the Partnership entered into a ten year contract
for


                                       23
<PAGE>


the 12,000 Dth/d while the remaining unsubscribed capacity of 40,720 Dth/d
will continue to be remarketed on a short term basis until longer term market
opportunities emerge. On October 15, 2003, the Partnership filed a proof of
claim with the bankruptcy court for $49.8 million, representing the present
value of the two rejected contracts.

         On March 2, 2005, representatives of the Partnership and US Gen NE
agreed in principal to a settlement agreement regarding the Partnership's proof
of claim with the bankruptcy court. Under said settlement, the Partnership
expects to receive $8.4 million, the value of its mitigated claim as well as,
approximately $2.1 million as a result of retained cash collaterals for a total
settlement of approximately $10.5 million plus 4% interest accruing from the
start of the claim. Based on US Gen NE's disclosure statement filed with the
Bankruptcy Court, US GEN NE estimates to pay 100% of each unsecured claim. The
settlement is in the process of being approved by both parties and the
Bankruptcy Court. The Partnership expects to record any funds received as part
of this bankruptcy proceeding as "Other Income."

         On September 15, 2004, NEGT announced that it had entered into an
agreement with GS Power Holdings II LLC (a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs) to
purchase NEGT's indirect equity interest in the Partnership. NEGT's indirect
interest is held through JMC-Iroquois, Inc. and Iroquois Pipeline Investment,
LLC, both of which represent a 5.77% interest in the Partnership. On January 31,
2005, Cogentrix Energy, Inc. ("Cogentrix") announced that, through its
subsidiaries Cogentrix Power Holdings I LLC and Cogentrix Power Holdings II LLC,
it had acquired the equity interests in both JMC-Iroquois, Inc. and Iroquois
Pipeline Investment, LLC.

Enron Corp. and Affiliated Entities Bankruptcy Filing

         Enron Corp. and Enron North America Corp., collectively Enron, filed
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York, or Bankruptcy Court, in 2001. In October 2002, the Partnership filed
Proofs of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court in the amount of $1,593,362.39 for
Claim 1 and in the amount of Unknown dollars for Claim 2 resulting from
termination by Enron of the Partnership's Gas Transportation (Contract No.
R-1250-05). On February 22, 2005, by Letter Agreement, Enron agreed to allow the
Partnership $1,816,762.70 in unsecured claims, subject to the approval of the
Bankruptcy Court. Based on Enron's disclosure statement, Enron estimates to pay
20% of each unsecured claim. The Partnership expects to record any funds
received as part of this bankruptcy proceeding as "Other Income."

         The Partnership is a party to various other legal matters incidental to
its business. However, the Partnership believes that the outcome of these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations. See Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The Partnership has not submitted any matters to a vote of its security

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

See note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for an explanation of the
Provision for Income Taxes Restatement. As a result of this restatement, the
Management's Discussion and Analysis section has been modified to eliminate any
references to Provision for Income Taxes.

         The Partnership owns and operates a 412-mile interstate natural gas
transmission pipeline that extends from the Canada-United States border near
Waddington, New York to South Commack, Long Island, New York and includes the
Eastchester Extension. The Partnership provides service to local gas
distribution companies, electric utilities and electric power generators, as
well as marketers and other end-users, directly or indirectly, by connecting
with pipelines and exchanges throughout the northeastern United States. The
Partnership is exclusively a transporter of natural gas in interstate commerce
and operates under authority granted by the FERC. The Partnership commenced full
operations in 1992, creating a link between markets in the states of
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York and Rhode
Island, and western Canada natural gas supplies. The Partnership's pipeline
system connects at four locations with three interstate pipelines and also
connects with the pipeline system of TransCanada PipeLines Limited at the
Canada-United States border near Waddington, New York.

         The Partnership receives revenues under long-term firm reserved
transportation service contracts with shippers in accordance with service rates
approved by the FERC. On August 29, 2003, the Partnership filed a new four-year
rate settlement with the FERC in Docket No. RP03-589. On October 24, 2003, the
FERC approved the settlement which, as noted below, approved new settlement
rates for the Partnership's existing mainline customers and, with limited
exception, provided that no change to the mainline settlement rates may be
placed in effect on the Partnership's mainline system until January 1, 2008.

         The settlement establishes the Partnership's base tariff recourse
rates, or settlement rates, for the years 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007. The
settlement rates reflect annual step-downs, which over the term of the
settlement will reduce the Partnership's transportation rates by approximately
13% (e.g., the 100% load factor interzone rate will be reduced from the then
existing level of $0.4234 per Dth, to the January 1, 2007 level of $0.3700 per
Dth, for a total cumulative reduction of $0.0534 per Dth). Based on long-term
firm service contracts as of December 31, 2003, the settlement resulted in
reductions in revenues of $3.8 million in 2004 and will result in reductions in
revenues of $1.5 million in 2005, $1.0 million in 2006 and $2.5 million in 2007.
Under the settlement the first step-down in rates became effective on July 1,
2004. The settlement did not establish any rates, terms or conditions for the
Eastchester Extension.

         On January 2, 2004 the Partnership filed a Section 4 rate change
proceeding, consistent with the settlement in Docket No. RP03-589, limited to
rates for service on the Eastchester Extension Project as certificated by FERC
in Docket No. CP00-232. The Eastchester Project


                                       27
<PAGE>


was in-service on February 5, 2004. Following additional discussions and
negotiations with the parties, the Partnership submitted a comprehensive
settlement agreement on August 12, 2004. The settlement agreement provides for
recourse rates of $0.66 per dth for the period July 1, 2004 through December 31,
2007 and $0.635 per dth for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31,
2011. In addition, the Partnership will not include in future rates any future
legal fees (incurred after June 30, 2004) incurred in litigation regarding
construction incidents associated with the original Eastchester Project. A
moratorium on rate changes, as spelled out more fully in the settlement
agreement, will also be in effect through December 31, 2011. The settlement
agreement was approved by the FERC on October 13, 2004 and became final on
November 13, 2004. (See Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.)

         Outlook

         Having completed and placed into service its Eastchester Extension in
early 2004, the Partnership believes it is well positioned to capture
incremental market growth in New York City, since companies with an existing
infrastructure will have an advantage over companies proposing new
infrastructure, in light of the risks in obtaining permits. Although the
development of additional natural gas supply remains a challenge for the natural
gas industry, the announcement of several new liquefied natural gas terminals in
the Northeast increases the potential for new gas supply to the region and
enhances the opportunity for further penetration of natural gas into energy
markets.

         The metropolitan New York area also offers the Partnership an
opportunity to serve demand in the form of incremental gas-fired electric
generation. Both on Long Island and in New York City, the electric load serving
entities, including the Long Island Power Authority, Con Ed, and the New York
Power Authority, are entering into power purchase agreements with power plant
developers to encourage the construction of new generating assets.

         Operating Revenues

         As discussed above, the Partnership receives revenues under long-term
firm reserved transportation service contracts with shippers in accordance with
service rates approved by the FERC. The Partnership's firm revenues are
primarily derived from long-term contracts and are not directly affected by
fluctuations in volumes. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership was providing
firm reserved transportation service to 36 shippers of 1,278.8 MDth/d of natural
gas, as shown in the following table:

                Remaining                    Quantity in
               Term in Years                    MDth/d
               -------------               ------------------
                    1-5                           234.2
                    6-10                          855.1
                    11-15                         189.5
                                           ------------------
                    Total                       1,278.8

         The long-term firm service gas transportation contracts expire between
April 1, 2005 and September 1, 2018.

         The Partnership also has interruptible transportation service revenues
which, although small relative to overall revenues, are at the margin and thus
can have a significant impact on its net income. Interruptible transportation
service revenues include short-term firm reserved transportation service
contracts of less than one-year terms as well as standard interruptible
transportation service contracts. While it is common for pipelines to have some
form of required revenue sharing of their interruptible transportation service
revenues with long-term firm reserved service shippers, the Partnership does
not. However, the Partnership cannot assure that this will be the case in the
future.

         2004 compared to 2003

         Total revenues increased by $20.0 million, or 15.2%, to $152.0 million
for 2004 from $132.0 million for the prior year.


                                       29
<PAGE>


         Long-term firm reserved service revenues increased $20.7 million, or
17.9%, to $136.3 million for 2004 from $115.6 million for the prior year. This
increase was primarily due to additional revenues from the Eastchester Extension
of approximately $24.5 million due to the February 5, 2004 in-service date of
the Eastchester Extension. These increases were partially offset by decreased
long-term firm reserved service revenues primarily due to a rate decrease
effective July 1, 2004 of approximately $0.03/Dth as well as the loss of the
firm revenue stream associated with US Gen NE, which filed for bankruptcy in
2003. Portions of the US Gen New England volumes were re-contracted under
short-term contracts.

         Short-term firm revenues increased $1.5 million, or 17.0%, to $10.3
million for 2004 from $8.8 million for the prior year, primarily due to
increased market demand for natural gas in the second and third quarters of
2004, partially offset by lower volumes associated with softer market demand for
natural gas as a result of warmer weather and more competitive oil prices during
the first quarter of 2004 as compared to the same period in 2003.

         Interruptible/other revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 28.9%, to $5.4
million for 2004 from $7.6 million for the prior year primarily due to a shift
in the demand for services to short-term firm.

         2003 compared to 2002

         Total revenues increased by $5.7 million, or 4.5%, to $132.0 million
for 2003 from $126.3 million for the prior year. This increase was largely due
to an increase in short-term firm revenues of approximately $4.7 million,
attributable primarily to increased volumes for short-term firm service
resulting from stronger market demand for natural gas due to colder weather
during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002.
Long-term firm revenues increased by $0.8 million primarily due to additional
capacity provided by the mainline compression portion of the Eastchester
facilities and a new negotiated rate long-term firm contract in the first
quarter of 2003, partially offset by the rate decrease effective January 1, 2003
of approximately $0.01 per Dth. The Partnership's firm revenues are primarily
derived from long-term contracts and are not directly impacted by fluctuations
in volumes.

         Operation and Maintenance Expense

         Operation and maintenance expense includes operating, maintenance and
administrative expenses for the Partnership's corporate office in Shelton,
Connecticut and field support for the mainline, metering and compression
facilities. The Partnership expects that there will be normal increases in
payroll, benefits and insurance expenses due to expected inflationary trends.

         2004 compared to 2003

         Operation and maintenance expense increased by $2.2 million, or 8.7%,
to $27.6 million for 2004 from $25.4 million for 2003. The increase was due to
increased field operating expenses of $1.3 million related to new compressor
stations in Boonville and Dover, NY and additional inspection runs and marine
surveys due to Eastchester being placed into service. Other factors contributing
to the increase were increases in employee benefit expenses and increased
regulatory expenses.


                                       30
<PAGE>


         2003 compared to 2002

         Operation and maintenance expense increased by $1.5 million, or 6.3% to
$25.4 million for 2003 from $23.9 million for 2002. The increases related to
insurance, regulatory expenses, outside services and rent expense.

         Depreciation and Amortization Expense

         2004 compared to 2003

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7.5 million, or
31.1%, to $31.6 million for 2004 from $24.1 million for 2003. This increase was
due primarily to the February 5, 2004 in-service date of the Eastchester
Extension.

         2003 compared to 2002

         Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $0.4 million, or
1.7%, to $24.1 million for 2003 from $23.7 million for 2002 due primarily to
normal plant additions.

         Taxes Other Than Income Taxes

         Taxes other than income taxes consist primarily of municipal property
taxes and payroll taxes. With the Eastchester Extension being placed into
service in 2004, the Partnership expects that municipal property taxes will
continue to increase as municipalities begin to place that property on their tax
rolls.

         As of January 1, 2003, the Partnership changed its method of
accounting for municipal property taxes to provide a better matching of property
tax expense with the receipt of services provided by the municipalities. Most
municipalities in Connecticut assess property values as of October 1 of each
year (lien date) with payments due the following July 1, for the year beginning
that July 1. Most New York municipalities assess property values as of July 1
(lien date) with payments due the following January 1 for the year beginning
that January 1. New York school districts also follow a similar process.

         Through the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership
accrued property taxes based on estimated assessments beginning on the lien
date. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership began to
recognize the actual property tax expense over the same period that the towns
recognize the income from those taxes. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting for municipal property taxes, all of which was recognized in the
quarter ended March 31, 2003, is a reduction to expense of approximately $6.2
million, and is reflected on the income statement as a cumulative effect of
change in accounting principle. If the Partnership had accounted for property
taxes in this manner for 2002, the amount that would have been reported as
property tax expense for that year would not have been materially different than
what was actually reported. This one-time change in accounting principle is not
expected to have a significant effect on future property tax expense.

<PAGE>


         2004 compared to 2003

         Taxes other than income taxes increased by $2.3 million, or 18.7%, to
$14.6 million for 2004 from $12.3 million for 2003 primarily due to increased
assessments on facilities related to the Eastchester Extension.

         2003 compared to 2002

         Taxes other than income taxes increased by $1.1 million, or 9.8%, to
$12.3 million for 2003 from $11.2 million for 2002 primarily due to increased
assessments, partially reflecting the in-service of modifications to existing
compressor stations added as part of the Eastchester Extension in 2002.

         Other Income and Expenses

         Other income and expenses includes certain investment income and the
net of income and expense adjustments not recognized elsewhere.

         2004 compared to 2003

         Allowance for equity funds used during construction, or equity AFUDC,
decreased by $7.6 million, or 87.4%, to $1.1 million for 2004 from $8.7 million
for 2003. The decrease related primarily to the February 5, 2004 in-service date
of the Eastchester Extension.

         Other expenses, net increased by $1.9 million, to $2.6 million for 2004
from $0.7 million for 2003. In 2004 other expenses, net included a $2.3 million
write-off of the Athens Compressor Station Project. In 2003 other expenses, net
included a $0.7 million write-off related to the Partnership's investment in its
Western Leg Project.

         2003 compared to 2002

         Equity AFUDC increased $6.4 million, or 278.3%, to $8.7 million for
2003 from $2.3 million for 2002. This increase was due primarily to the
Partnership's expenditures for the Eastchester Extension.

         Other expenses, net increased approximately $1.5 million in 2003
compared to 2002. In 2003 other expenses, net included a $0.7 million write-off
related to the Partnership investment in its Western Leg Project. In 2002 other
expenses net included a $2.2 million write-off related to the Partnership's
investment in its Eastern Long Island project which had been withdrawn from FERC
certification.

         Interest Expense

         Interest expense relates primarily to borrowings associated with the
Partnership's construction projects, most recently the Eastchester Extension.


                                       32
<PAGE>


         2004 compared to 2003

         Interest expense was $33.4 million for each of 2004 and 2003. In 2004
the Partnership's average debt balance decreased due to scheduled debt
repayments, however interest rates in 2004 were higher than in 2003.

         Allowance for borrowed funds used during construction decreased $7.5
million to $1.1 million for 2004 as compared to $8.6 million in 2003 due to the
February 5, 2004 in-service date of the Eastchester Extension.

         2003 compared to 2002

         Interest expense increased $5.5 million, or 19.7%, to $33.4 million for
2003 from $27.9 million for 2002. The increase in interest expense reflects an
increase in the Partnership's average debt balance due to borrowings associated
with construction of the Eastchester Extension. A $170.0 million bond offering
was completed in August 2002 at which time $144.2 million was used to pay down
the Partnership's existing bank facility, which included a $22.2 million
prepayment. The Partnership's credit agreement was amended to permit the
Partnership to draw on that facility, up to an aggregate of $120.0 million, to
match construction expenditures. As of December 31, 2003, this amount had been
fully drawn by the Partnership. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         Allowance for borrowed funds used during construction increased $5.8
million to $8.5 million for 2003 as compared to 2002 primarily due to the
Partnership's expenditures for the Eastchester Extension.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for an explanation
of the restatement of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for 2004, 2003
and 2002.

         The Partnership's primary source of financing has been cash flow from
operations. The Partnership's ongoing operations will require the availability
of funds to service debt, fund working capital, and make capital expenditures on
the Partnership's existing facilities and expansion projects.

         Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1.1 million to
$71.5 million in 2004 from $70.4 million in 2003 and increased by $11.0 million
to $70.4 million in 2003 from $59.4 million in 2002. The increase in net cash
provided by operating activities from 2003 to 2004 was primarily attributable to
an increase in depreciation expense, due to the Eastchester Extension Project,
partially offset by a decrease in pretax net income and the effect of changes in
working capital due to Eastchester. The increase from 2002 to 2003 was primarily
due to the effects of an increase in debt issuance costs, in 2002, which are
included in other assets and deferred charges, associated with the financing
completed on August 14, 2002 related to Eastchester. Additionally the net income
increase from 2002 to 2003 also contributed to the increase in net cash provided
by operating activities.


                                       33
<PAGE>


         Net cash flow related to financing activities decreased by $130.0
million to ($37.2) million in 2004 from $92.8 million in 2003 and increased by
$52.2 million to $92.8 million in 2003 from $40.6 million in 2002 due to the net
effects of the 2002 Eastchester Extension financing.

         As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership had outstanding $200.0 million
aggregate principal amount of 8.68% senior unsecured notes due 2010 and $170.0
million aggregate principal amount of 6.10% senior unsecured notes due 2027. The
Partnership also had $77.8 million, net of scheduled debt repayments,
outstanding under its amended credit facility as of December 31, 2004. The
Partnership is a party to two interest rate swap agreements designed to hedge a
portion of the interest rate risk on its credit facility. As of December 31,
2004, the aggregate notional principal amount of these two swaps was $25.0
million, and the fair value of the swaps, net of taxes, was ($1.8) million. The
Partnership also is a party to a $10.0 million, 364-day, variable rate revolving
line of credit to support working capital requirements. As of December 31, 2004,
the outstanding principal balance on the revolving credit facility was $10.0
million.

         Capital expenditures for 2004 were $34.2 million, compared to $148.4
million in 2003, reflecting primarily the completion of construction activity
related to the Eastchester Extension during 2004. In addition, there were
expenditures associated with general plant purchases and other miscellaneous
projects during 2004. Capital expenditures in 2003 consisted of expenditures
relating to the Eastchester Extension, expenditures associated with a compressor
station site, general plant purchases and other miscellaneous projects. In 2002,
capital expenditures of $100.0 million were primarily related to the Eastchester
Extension, as well as a meter station and interconnect, a compressor station,
general plant purchases and other minor projects.

         Total capital expenditures for 2005 are estimated to be approximately
$7 million, including approximately $2.5 million for installation of a vent
valve on Long Island. The remaining capital expenditures planned for 2005 are
primarily for various general plant purchases. The Partnership expects to fund
its 2005 capital expenditures through cash from operations. The Partnership's
management makes recommendations to the partnership management committee
regarding the amount and timing of distributions to partners. The amount and
timing of distributions is subject to internal cash requirements for
construction, financing and operational requirements. Distributions and cash
calls require the approval of the management committee. Total cash distributions
to partners of $15.0 million were made during 2004. There were no cash
distributions to partners during 2003 or 2002. Partners made equity
contributions to the Partnership during 2003, which, in the aggregate, totaled
$20.0 million. There were no equity contributions made in 2004 or 2002.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

         At December 31, 2004, the Partnership had no off-balance sheet
transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities
or persons that would adversely affect revenues, expenses, liquidity,
availability of capital resources, capital expenditures, financial position or
results of operations.

Contractual Obligations

         The Partnership is committed to making payments in the future on two
types of contracts: long-term debt and leases. The Partnership has no
off-balance sheet debt or other such unrecorded obligations and has not
guaranteed the debt of any other party. Below is a schedule of the future
payments the Partnership was obligated to make based on agreements in place as
of December 31, 2004 (in thousands of dollars).

New Accounting Standards

         Inventory Costs. In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No.
151, "Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151
amends the guidance on inventory pricing to require that abnormal amounts of
idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material be charged to
current period expense rather than capitalized as inventory costs. SFAS No. 151
also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS
No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005.

         Non-monetary Transactions. Also in December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." SFAS No.
153 redefines the types of nonmonetary exchanges that require fair value
measurement. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions entered into
on or after July 1, 2005.

         The Partnership expects that the implementation of these two new
standards will not have a material impact upon the Company's financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

         The Partnership's discussion and analysis of its financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows are based upon the Partnership's
consolidated financial statements, which have


                                       36
<PAGE>


been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated
financial statements required management to make estimates and judgments that
affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and
related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements. Actual results may differ from these
estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

         Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those that
are reflective of significant judgment and uncertainties, and potentially may
result in materially different outcomes under different assumptions and
conditions. The Partnership believes that its accounting policies and estimates
that are most critical to the reported results of operations, cash flows and
financial position are described below.

         Regulatory accounting

         The Partnership follows accounting policies prescribed by GAAP and the
FERC. As a rate-regulated Partnership, the Partnership is subject to SFAS No.
71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." The application
of SFAS No. 71 results in differences in the timing of recognition of certain
revenues and expenses from that of other businesses and industries. The
Partnership's gas transmission business remains subject to rate-regulation and
continues to meet the criteria for application of SFAS No. 71. This ratemaking
process results in the recording of regulatory assets based on current and
future cash inflows. Regulatory assets represent incurred costs that have been
deferred because they are probable of future recovery in customer rates. As of
December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership recorded regulatory assets of $20.7
million and $20.6 million, respectively. The Partnership continuously reviews
these assets to assess their ultimate recoverability within the approved
regulatory guidelines. The Partnership expects to fully recover these regulatory
assets in its rates. If future recovery of costs ceases to be probable, the
Partnership would be required to charge these assets to current earnings.
However, impairment risk associated with these assets relates to potentially
adverse legislative, judicial or regulatory actions in the future.

         Derivatives and hedging

         The Partnership utilizes derivative contracts to hedge interest rate
risk associated with the Partnership's existing variable rate debt, and to hedge
the net proceeds of new fixed rate debt. SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, requires that the
Partnership document its hedging strategies and estimates of hedge effectiveness
prior to initiating a hedge, as well as continuing to assess hedge effectiveness
for the life of the hedging instrument. Currently, the Partnership has two
interest rate swaps outstanding with a total notional amount of $25.0 million,
and a fair value of ($1.8) million. The Partnership records the
market value of these interest rate swaps on its financial statements as a
component of Other Comprehensive Income (Partners' Equity) and Other Non-current
Liabilities.


                                       37
<PAGE>


         Contingent liabilities

         The Partnership establishes reserves for estimated loss contingencies
when it is management's assessment that a loss is probable and the amount of the
loss can be reasonably estimated. Revisions to contingent liabilities are
reflected in income in the period in which different facts or information become
known or circumstances change that affect the previous assumptions with respect
to the likelihood or amount of loss. Reserves for contingent liabilities are
based upon management's assumptions and estimates, advice of legal counsel or
other third parties regarding the probable outcome of the matter. Should the
outcome differ from the assumptions and estimates, revisions to the estimated
reserves for contingent liabilities would be required. See Note 8 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this annual report for
information about regulatory, litigation and business developments that cause
operating and financial uncertainties.

Other

         The Partnership's transmission activities are subject to regulation by
the FERC under the Natural Gas Act and under the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978
because the Partnership owns and operates an interstate natural gas pipeline
system that provides interstate transmission services. As a result, the
Partnership's rates and charges for natural gas transportation, the terms and
conditions of the services it offers, the extension, enlargement or abandonment
of its jurisdictional facilities, and its accounting, among other things, are
all subject to such regulation.

         The Partnership is also subject to the National Environmental Policy
Act and other federal and state legislation regulating the environmental aspects
of its business. The Partnership believes that it is in substantial compliance
with existing environmental requirements. The Partnership believes that, if
expenditures were required in the future to meet applicable standards and
regulations, the FERC would grant requisite rate relief so that, for the most
part, such expenditures and a return thereon would be permitted to be recovered.
Based on current information, the Partnership believes that compliance with
applicable environmental requirements is not likely to have a material effect
upon its earnings or competitive position.

         The majority of the Partnership's plant and equipment and inventory is
subject to ratemaking treatment, and under current FERC practices, recovery of
increased costs for replacing facilities due to inflation is limited to
prudently incurred, historical costs as established in the prior rate
proceeding. Under current FERC practice, amounts in excess of historical cost
are not recoverable between rate proceedings, leading to a delay between
incurrence of costs and their recovery. However, the Partnership believes that
in future rate proceedings it will be allowed to recover and earn a return based
on increased actual costs incurred when existing facilities are replaced and new
facilities are placed in service. Cost-based regulation, along with competition
and other market factors, limit the Partnership's ability to take inflation into
account in pricing services and products.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial
instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest
rates and prices. The following discussion of the Partnership's risk management
activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated in
the forward-looking statements. The Partnership handles market risks in
accordance with established policies, which may include various derivative
transactions.

         The financial instruments held or issued by the Partnership are for
purposes other than trading or speculation. The Partnership is exposed to risk
resulting from interest rate changes on its variable-rate debt. The Partnership
uses interest rate swap agreements to manage the risk of increases in certain
variable rate issues. It records amounts paid and received under those
agreements as adjustments to the interest expense of the specific debt issues.
The Partnership believes that there is no material market risk associated with
these agreements. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included
elsewhere in this annual report. As of December 31, 2004, the Partnership had
$87.8 million of variable-rate debt outstanding. Holding other variables
constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one-percentage point increase in
interest rates would impact pre-tax earnings by less than $0.6 million.

         The Partnership's pension plan assets are made up of equity and fixed
income investments. Fluctuations in those markets could cause the Partnership to
recognize increased or decreased pension income or expense.

The Partnership maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Partnership's SEC
filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods
specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to management, including the Partnership's principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of "disclosure
controls and procedures", in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Management, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Partnership's principal executive officer and principal financial officer,


                                       39
<PAGE>


conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this report. In connection with the restatements described in Notes 2
and 3 to the Partnership's consolidated financial statements, management
determined that there were material weaknesses in the Partnership's internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, as more fully
described below. Based on that evaluation and because of the material weaknesses
described below, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer
have concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were
not effective as of December 31, 2004.

Notwithstanding the existence of the material weaknesses described below,
Management believes that the consolidated financial statements in this Form
10-K/A fairly present, in all material respects, the Partnership's financial
condition as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and results of its operations and
cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, in conformity
with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control
deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material
misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected. The following material weaknesses were identified by management as
of December 31, 2004:

1. The Partnership did not maintain effective controls over the preparation and
review of its consolidated statements of cash flows. Specifically, the
Partnership did not maintain effective controls to appropriately exclude from
capital expenditures reported in the consolidated statement of cash flows,
capital expenditures that were unpaid and included in accounts payable at the
end of the reporting period. Thus capital expenditures were reported in the
consolidated statements of cash flows on an accrual basis rather than on a cash
basis. This error resulted in a misstatement of cash flows from investing and
operating activities. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the
consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003
and 2004 and for all interim periods in 2004 and 2003. Additionally, this
control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the consolidated statement
of cash flows that would result in a material misstatement to annual or interim
financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly,
management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material
weakness.

2. The Partnership did not maintain effective controls over the initial
selection of and application of generally accepted accounting principles related
to the accounting for and presentation of income taxes, including regulatory
assets-income tax related, amounts equivalent to deferred income taxes,
partner's equity, provision for income taxes and cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle and the related income tax provision. Specifically, the
Partnership's controls failed to identify that, as an entity not subject to
Federal income tax, the Partnership should not have adopted generally accepted
accounting principles relative to deferred income tax accounting in the
preparation and presentation of its consolidated financial statements. This
control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the consolidated financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. Additionally,
this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned
accounts and related disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to
annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes
a material weakness.

3. The Partnership did not maintain effective controls in the adoption of a
change in generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, with respect
to a change in accounting principle related to municipal property taxes that
occurred in the fourth quarter of 2003, the Partnership failed to determine that
the cumulative effect adjustment should have been recognized and measured
retroactively as of January 1, 2003, rather than as of December 31, 2003.
Additionally, the Partnership failed to record property tax expense for each
subsequent period as recognized and measured in accordance with the new
accounting principle. This control deficiency resulted in the restatement of the
consolidated financial statements for quarterly selected financial data.
Additionally, this control deficiency could result in a misstatement of the
cumulative effective of a change in accounting principle, including periodic
property tax expense, that would result in a material misstatement to annual or
interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes
a material weakness.

REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES

In an effort to remediate the material weakness in the Partnership's internal
control over financial reporting with respect to controls over the preparation
and review of its consolidated statement of cash flows, subsequent to December
31, 2004, management has implemented a process to identify the amount of unpaid
capital expenditures at the end of the reporting period to ensure capital
expenditures are properly reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, an
analysis of accounts payable is performed at the end of each quarter to
determine whether accruals for capital expenditures have been recorded. If
capital expenditure accruals have been recorded, those accruals are eliminated
from the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and shown as a supplemental
disclosure of cash flow information. In addition, in instances where capital
expenditure accruals have been settled, those settlements are shown as cash
outflows in investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
The impact of these changes will then be evaluated and reflected, as
appropriate, on any interim and annual consolidated financial statements.
Management believes these processes, when fully implemented and tested, will
remediate the material weaknesses described above.

In an effort to remediate the material weaknesses in the Partnership's internal
control over financial reporting related to the initial selection of and
application of generally accepted accounting principles related to income taxes
and the adoption of a change in generally accepted accounting principles
described above, management has implemented a process to exclude the provision
for income taxes from the Consolidated Statements of Income and to also exclude
the amounts equivalent to deferred income taxes and regulatory assets-income tax
related from the Consolidated Balance Sheets and related financial statements.
Specifically, an analysis of the Consolidated Balance Sheets, the Consolidated
Statements of Income, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the
Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners' Equity is performed at the end
of each quarter to identify all income tax related items. Since the Partnership
is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, income taxes will
continue to be recorded for regulatory purposes. Those income tax related items
will be eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Income, the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows and the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Partners'
Equity to be included in future Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K. In addition,
management has instituted a


                                       41
<PAGE>


process to correctly account for and present in the annual and interim financial
statements of the Partnership, changes in accounting principles as required
under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20. Specifically, if
applicable, a review of changes in accounting principles will be performed by
management at the end of each quarter. This review will include a review of any
prior year changes in accounting principles. The impact of these changes will
then be evaluated and reflected, as appropriate, on any interim and annual
consolidated financial statements. Management believes these processes, when
fully implemented and tested, will remediate the material weaknesses described
above.

Other than as described above, there have been no other changes in the
Partnership's internal control over financial reporting that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's
internal control over financial reporting.

         Plan"). Under the 401(k) Plan, which is generally available to all
         employees, IPOC currently matches a participant's tax-deferred
         contributions by an amount equal to 100% of such contribution for each
         year, up to 5% of the participant's annual compensation. Under the
         Supplemental Plan, IPOC currently matches the tax-deferred

         employees in an amount equal to 100% of such contribution for each
         year, up to 5% of the participant's annual compensation, less any
         matching contributions allocated to the participant's account under the
         401(k) Plan. The following contributions were made during the 2004,

Long-Term Incentive Plan

         Effective as of January 1, 1999, IPOC adopted a performance share unit
plan, which provides financial incentives to certain key executives. All key
employees of IPOC and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the
performance plan. The participants for each year will be selected by the human
resources committee, which is a sub-committee of the management committee.
Participants are awarded "phantom shares" of the partnership or, performance
units ("Performance Units"), which are valued annually based upon our year-end
book value and our average return on rate base equity. The payout value of the
Performance Units is based on the sum of (i) the value of the Performance Units
at the end of a performance period and (ii) the amount of dividends per
Performance Unit during the period. Payment on the Performance Units is made in
cash within 30 days following completion of our audited financial statements.

         The Performance Units generally vest and become payable over five
years, with 50% of each award vesting at the end of the third year and 25%
vesting at the end of each of the fourth and fifth years. Upon a termination of
a participant's employment with IPOC or its subsidiaries, for any reason other
than death, disability, or retirement, all unvested Performance Units will be
forfeited and no payment will be paid with respect to such forfeited Performance
Units. Upon a


                                       47
<PAGE>


termination due to the participant's death, disability or retirement, the
committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for the vesting and payment of
any unvested Performance Units.

         The summary compensation table reflects the amounts that became vested
and payable to the named executive officers under the performance share unit
plan for fiscal year 2004. There were no grants awarded to the named executive
officers pursuant to the performance share unit plan in fiscal year 2004.

Pension Plans

         IPOC sponsors a qualified non-contributory, cash balance retirement
plan ("CBRP") covering substantially all of its employees and excess benefit
plans ("EBPs") covering certain key employees. Under the CBRP, each participant
is given a hypothetical account balance, which is credited with a specified
percentage of a portion of the participant's covered compensation based on his
or her age and service. The EBPs are an unfunded pension arrangement that
provides certain highly compensated employees with the benefit that they would
have been entitled to but for the limitations set forth in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. In addition, under the EBPs, the benefits provided to
Mr. Bailey takes into account his years of service with TransCanada Pipelines
Limited. The benefits under the excess pension plan are not subject to the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that limit the compensation used to
determine benefits and the amount of annual benefits payable under the qualified
pension plan.

         The following table illustrates, for representative annual covered
compensation and years of benefit service classifications, the annual retirement
benefit that would be payable to employees under both the non-contributory cash
balance retirement plan and the excess benefit plan if they retired in 2005 at
age 65, based on the straight-life annuity form of benefit payment and not
subject to deduction or offset. In calculating the benefits shown in the
following table, salaries were assumed to remain level and hypothetical account
balances were assumed to grow at 5.5% per year.

             Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P.:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of income, of cash flows and of changes in partners'
equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. and its subsidiary (the "Partnership") at
December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in
accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As discussed in Notes 2, 3 and 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements, the 2004, 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements have been
restated.

As discussed in Note 4 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements,
the Partnership changed its method of accounting for municipal property taxes in
2003.



February 1, 2005, except for Note 3, as
  to which the date is June 21, 2005
  and Notes 2 and 4, as to which the
  date is November 3, 2005

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         NOTE 1

         DESCRIPTION OF PARTNERSHIP:

         Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P., (the "Partnership" or the
"Company") is a Delaware limited partnership that owns and operates a natural
gas transmission pipeline from the Canada-United States border near Waddington,
NY, to South Commack, Long Island, NY and Hunt's Point, New York. In accordance
with the limited partnership agreement, the Partnership shall continue in
existence until October 31, 2089, and from year to year thereafter, until the
Partners elect to dissolve the Partnership and terminate the limited partnership
agreement.

         As of December 31, 2004, the Partners consist of TransCanada Iroquois
Ltd. (29.0%), North East Transmission Company (19.4%), Dominion Iroquois, Inc.
(24.72%), TCPL Northeast Ltd. (11.96%), JMC-Iroquois, Inc. (4.93%), TEN
Transmission Company (4.87%), NJNR Pipeline Company (3.28%), KeySpan IGTS Corp.
(1.0%), and Iroquois Pipeline Investment, LLC (.84%). The Iroquois Pipeline
Operating Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary, is the administrative operator of
the pipeline.

         Income and expenses are allocated to the Partners and credited to their
respective equity accounts in accordance with the partnership agreements and
their respective percentage interests. Distributions to Partners are made
concurrently to all Partners in proportion to their respective partnership
interests. Total cash distributions of $15.0 million were made to Partners
during 2004. There were no cash distributions to Partners during 2003 or 2002.

         NOTE 2

         PROVISIONS FOR INCOME TAXES RESTATEMENT:

         Historically, Iroquois has included a provision for income taxes in its
presentation of the consolidated statements of income and the corresponding
amounts equivalent to deferred income taxes and regulatory assets-income tax in
the consolidated balance sheets. As a partnership, Iroquois should present the
Consolidated Statement of Income without the Provision for Taxes and should
present the Consolidated Balance Sheet without the amounts equivalent to
deferred income taxes and regulatory assets-income tax related. In addition, the
historical presentation of these items on the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Partners' Equity and the Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements has been incorrect.

         The following table sets forth the restatement to the Consolidated
Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the
Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Consolidated
Statements of Changes in Partners' Equity as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002
and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31,
2004, 2003 and 2002. Additionally, appropriate comparative amounts as of or for
the respective year ended December 31, 2004 have been reflected as "Restated"
elsewhere in these Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CASH FLOWS RESTATEMENT

The consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2004,
2003 and 2002 have been restated. The Partnership previously did not exclude
from capital expenditures reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows,
capital expenditures that were unpaid and included in accounts payable at the
end of the reporting period. Thus capital expenditures were reported in the
consolidated statements of cash flows on an accrual basis rather than on a cash
basis which is inconsistent with the requirements of SFAS No. 95, "Statement of
Cash Flows". This error resulted in an over/understatement of cash flows from
investing activities with an equal over/understatement of cash flows from
operating activities. This restatement did not impact the Partnership's
previously reported balance sheets or statements of income.

The following table sets forth the effects of the restatement on certain line
items within the Partnership's previously reported consolidated statement of
cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004:

         NOTE 4

         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Basis of Presentation

         The consolidated financial statements of the Partnership are prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with accounting
for regulated public utilities prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC"). Generally accepted accounting principles for regulated
entities allow the Partnership to give accounting recognition to the actions of
regulatory authorities in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects of
Certain Types of Regulation". In accordance with SFAS No. 71, the Partnership
has deferred recognition of costs (a regulatory asset) or has recognized
obligations (a regulatory liability) if it is probable that such costs will be
recovered or an obligation relieved in the future through the rate-making
process.

         Principles of Consolidation

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and Iroquois Pipeline Operating Company. Intercompany transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

         Cash and Temporary Cash Investments


                                      F-14
<PAGE>


         The Partnership considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments
purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less to be cash
equivalents. Cash and temporary cash investments of $36.4 million at December
31, 2004 and $36.3 million at December 31, 2003 consisted primarily of
discounted commercial paper.

         Natural Gas Plant In Service

         Natural gas plant in service is carried at original cost. The majority
of the natural gas plant in service is categorized as natural gas transmission
plant which began depreciating over 20 years on a straight line basis from the
in-service date through January 31, 1995. Commencing February 1, 1995,
transmission plant began depreciating over 25 years on a straight-line basis as
a result of a rate case settlement. Effective August 31, 1998 the depreciation
rate was changed to 2.77% (36 years average life) in accordance with a FERC rate
order issued July 29, 1998. General plant, which includes primarily vehicles,
leasehold improvements and computer equipment, is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over five years.

         Construction Work In Progress

         At December 31, 2004, construction work in progress included
construction costs relating mainly to the Brookfield Project, ancillary projects
related to Eastchester and other on-going capital projects.

         Allowance for Funds Used During Construction

         The allowance for funds used during construction ("AFUDC") represents
the cost of funds used to finance natural gas transmission plant under
construction. The AFUDC rate includes a component for borrowed funds as well as
equity. The AFUDC is capitalized as an element of natural gas plant in service.

         Derivatives and Hedging


                                      F-15
<PAGE>


         The Partnership utilizes derivative contracts to hedge interest rate
risk associated with the Partnership's existing variable rate debt, and to hedge
the net proceeds of new fixed rate debt. SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended, requires that the
Partnership document its hedging strategies and estimates of hedge effectiveness
prior to initiating a hedge, as well as continuing to assess hedge effectiveness
for the life of the hedging instrument. Currently, the Partnership has two
interest rate swaps outstanding with a total notional amount of $25.0 million,
and a fair value of ($1.8) million. The Partnership records the
market value of these interest rate swaps on its financial statements as a
component of Other Comprehensive Income (Partners' Equity) and Other Non-current
Liabilities.

         Change in Method of Accounting for Municipal Property Taxes

         As of January 1, 2003, the Partnership changed its method of accounting
for municipal property taxes to provide a better matching of property tax
expense with the receipt of services provided by the municipalities. Most
municipalities in Connecticut assess property values as of October 1 of each
year (lien date) with payments due the following July 1, for the year beginning
that July 1. Most New York municipalities assess property values as of July 1
(lien date) with payments due the following January 1 for the year beginning
that January 1. New York school districts also follow a similar process.

         Through the calendar year ended December 31, 2002, the Partnership
accrued property taxes based on estimated assessments beginning on the lien
date. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, the Partnership began to
recognize the actual property tax expense over the same period that the towns
recognize the income from those taxes. The cumulative effect of this change in
accounting for municipal property taxes, all of which is recognized as of
January 1, 2003 is a reduction to expense of approximately $6.2 million and is
reflected on the income statement as a cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle. If the Partnership had accounted for property taxes in this manner
for 2002 and 2001, the amounts that would have been reported as property tax
expense for these years would not have been materially different than what is
actually reported.

         Estimates

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles 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. These estimates may involve determining the economic useful
lives of the Partnership's assets, the fair values used to determine possible
asset impairment charges, provisions for uncollectible accounts receivable,
exposures under contractual indemnifications, calculations of pension expense
and various other recorded or disclosed amounts. The Partnership believes that
its estimates for these items are reasonable, but cannot assure you that actual
amounts will not vary from estimated amounts.

         New Accounting Standards


                                      F-16
<PAGE>


         Inventory Costs. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151,
"Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4." SFAS No. 151 amends
the guidance on inventory pricing to require that abnormal amounts of idle
facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material be charged to
current period expense rather than capitalized as inventory costs. SFAS No. 151
also requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of
conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS
No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2005.

         Non-monetary Transactions. Also in December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS
No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions." SFAS No.
153 redefines the types of nonmonetary exchanges that require fair value
measurement. SFAS No. 153 is effective for nonmonetary transactions entered into
on or after July 1, 2005.

         The Partnership expects that the implementation of these two new
standards will not have a material impact upon the Partnership's financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

         Other Comprehensive Income

         Comprehensive Income consisted of the following (in thousands of

         On August 9, 2000, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap
agreement to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk on its credit facilities.
The interest rate swap agreement terminates on the last business day in May
2009. Under its terms, the Partnership agreed to pay a fixed rate of 6.82% on an
initial notional amount of $25.0 million, which is being amortized during the
term of the interest rate swap agreement, in return for payment of a floating
rate of 3-month LIBOR on the amortizing notional amount. The Partnership also
agreed to grant an option to the swap counter-party to enter into an additional
interest rate swap agreement. The option was exercised on December 26, 2000 with
a termination date on the last business day in May 2009. This additional
interest swap agreement has the same fixed and floating rate terms as the
initial interest rate swap agreement and is for an initial notional amount of
$24.3 million, which is being amortized during the term of the additional
interest rate swap agreement. The two interest swap agreements were amended on
August 14, 2002 to match the term of the Partnership's amended credit agreement,
which was also completed on that date. As of December 31, 2004 and December 31,
2003, the aggregate notional principal amount of these two swaps was $25.0
million and $30.6 million, respectively. The fair value of these interest rate
swaps, net of taxes at December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, was ($1.8)
million and ($3.3) million, respectively.

         The combined schedule of repayments at December 31, 2004 is as follows
(millions of dollars):

         NOTE 6

         CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

         The Partnership's cash and temporary cash investments and trade
accounts receivable represent concentrations of credit risk. Management believes
that the credit risk associated with cash and temporary cash investments is
mitigated by its practice of limiting its investments primarily to commercial
paper rated P-1 or higher by Moody's Investors Services and A-1 or higher by
Standard and Poor's, and its cash deposits to large, highly-rated financial
institutions. Management also believes that the credit risk associated with
trade accounts receivable is mitigated by the restrictive terms of the FERC gas
tariff that require customers to pay for service within 20 days after the end of
the month of service delivery.

         NOTE 7

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

         The fair value amounts disclosed below have been reported to meet the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Values of
Financial Instruments" and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that
the Partnership could realize in a current market exchange.

         As of December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the carrying amount of
cash and temporary cash investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses approximates fair value.

         The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on currently quoted
market prices for similar types of issues. As of December 31, 2004 and December
31, 2003, the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Partnership's
long-term debt including current maturities were as follows (in thousands of

                                      F-19
<PAGE>


         On October 24, 2003, the FERC approved a settlement which, as noted
below, approved new Settlement Rates for the Partnership's existing mainline
customers and, with limited exception, provided that no change to the mainline
Settlement Rates could be placed in effect on the Partnership's mainline system
until January 1, 2008. The settlement establishes the Partnership's base tariff
recourse rates (Settlement Rates) for the years 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. The
Settlement Rates reflect annual step-downs, which over the term of the
Settlement will reduce the Partnership's transportation rates by approximately
13% (e.g., the 100% load factor interzone rate will be reduced from the then
existing level of $0.4234 per Dth, to the January 1, 2007 level of $0.3700 per
Dth, for a total cumulative reduction of $0.0534 per Dth). Based on 2003
long-term firm service contracts as of December 31, 2004, the settlement
resulted in reductions in revenues of approximately $3.8 million in 2004 and
will result in reductions in revenues of $1.5 million in 2005, $1.0 million in
2006 and $2.5 million in 2007. Under the settlement the first step-down in rates
became effective on July 1, 2004.

         FERC Docket No. RP04-136-000
         ----------------------------

         On January 2, 2004 the Partnership filed a Section 4 rate change
proceeding, consistent with the settlement in Docket No. RP03-589, limited to
rates for service on the Eastchester Extension Project as certificated by FERC
in Docket No. CP00-232. The Eastchester Project was in-service on February 5,
2004. The Partnership proposed a rate of $0.8444 per Dth on a 100% load-factor
basis (as compared with the Partnership's existing 100% load-factor inter-zone
rate of $0.4234 per Dth, which served as the initial rate per the certificate
order). The increased rate reflected, among other things, an increase in plant
costs from the certificate estimate of $210 million to a level of approximately
$334 million. The higher plant costs are the result of a number of factors,
including delays in obtaining construction permits and authorizations;
unanticipated environmental costs; a failed directional drill; higher than
expected labor costs; and construction incidents associated with constructing
the Project in a highly congested marine corridor. Various customers filed
motions in response to the Partnership's requested rate change. On January 30,
2004 the FERC issued an order accepting the rates and making them effective July
1, 2004, subject to refund and subject to the outcome of hearings. On February
17, 2004, a pre-hearing conference before the FERC resulted in a procedural
schedule outlining the various phases of the Partnership's rate filing
proceeding.

         On June 15 and July 8, 2004, settlement conferences were convened at
the FERC's offices to attempt to negotiate a settlement of the issues in the
rate case. As a result of those conferences, the parties reached a settlement in
principle of all issues that was supported or not opposed by all participants to
the proceeding. On July 15, 2004 the Partnership submitted a motion to the
Presiding Administrative Law Judge to suspend the procedural schedule to allow
the parties to formalize the settlement agreement; such motion was granted by
the judge on July 16. Following additional discussions and negotiations with the
parties, the Partnership submitted a comprehensive settlement agreement on
August 12, 2004. The settlement agreement provides for recourse rates of $0.66
per Dth for the period July 1, 2004 through December 31, 2007 and $0.635 per Dth
for the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2011. In addition, the
Partnership will not include in future rates any future legal fees (incurred
after June 30, 2004) incurred in litigation regarding construction incidents
associated with the original Eastchester Project. A moratorium on rate changes,
as spelled out more fully in the settlement agreement, will also be in effect
through December 31, 2011. The settlement agreement was approved by the FERC on
October 13, 2004 and became final on November 13, 2004.


                                      F-20
<PAGE>


         In addition to settling the Eastchester recourse rates as set forth
above, the Partnership has also entered into negotiated rate agreements with all
of the initial shippers on the Eastchester Extension Project. The negotiated
rates on a 100% load-factor equivalent basis range between $0.47 and $0.63 per
Dth depending on whether the agreement was signed pre or post construction and
the length of the negotiated contract.

         The recourse rates and negotiated individual Eastchester shipper rates,
coupled with cost overruns experienced on the Eastchester Project, will reduce
the Partnership's initial margins that were anticipated when the project
application was filed with FERC.

         FERC Order No. 2004
         -------------------

         On November 25, 2003 the FERC issued Order No. 2004 in FERC Docket No.
RM01-10. FERC Order No. 2004 adopts new standards of conduct that apply
uniformly to interstate natural gas pipelines and public utilities and that
replace standards of conduct currently in effect. The standards of conduct are
designed to ensure that transmission providers do not provide preferential
access to service or information to affiliated entities. Under the schedule
adopted by the FERC, on February 9, 2004 the Partnership submitted its plan and
schedule for implementing Order No. 2004. As required by said schedule, on June
1, 2004 the Partnership posted its revised standards of conduct on its internet
website, identifying the procedures established for implementing the FERC's
requirements. Additionally, as required by the order, on September 22, 2004, the
Partnership developed and posted on its website, a written procedure
implementing its standards of conduct and trained all its employees subject to
the standard. Management does not believe that the requirements of Order No.
2004 will have a material impact on the Partnership.

         Athens Project (FERC Docket No. CP02-20-000)
         --------------------------------------------

         On November 8, 2001, the Partnership filed an application with the FERC
to construct and operate its "Athens Project." Under this proposal, the
Partnership would have constructed a second compressor unit at its existing
Athens, New York compressor station. The facilities were designed to provide up
to 70 MDth/d of firm transportation to Athens Generating Company, L. P. ("Athens
Generating") with whom the Partnership had executed a firm transportation
agreement for this service. On June 3, 2002, the FERC issued a certificate
authorizing the Partnership to construct the Athens Project facilities. However,
the Partnership anticipated having adequate capacity on its system to serve the
initial 70 MDth/d transportation needs of the Athens Generating facility. As a
result of this evaluation, capacity was made available on an interim basis,
allowing the Partnership to defer the commencement of construction of the Athens
Project. By letter dated April 22, 2003, the Partnership requested a 1-year
extension from the FERC of the deadline for completion of construction of the
Athens Project, or until December 3, 2004. On May 14, 2003, the FERC granted the
Partnership's' request for the 1-year extension.

         The Partnership continued to market this project to potential customers
and continued to evaluate its feasibility, however, because the Partnership was
unable to secure customers prior to the December 3, 2004 construction extension
deadline, the project was cancelled and the $2.3 million in capital expenditures
was written off and charged to expense in the fourth quarter of 2004.

         Brookfield Project (FERC Docket No. CP02-31-000)
         ------------------------------------------------


                                      F-21
<PAGE>


         On October 31, 2002 the FERC issued a certificate authorizing the
Partnership to construct the Brookfield Project facilities.

         Based on communications with its prospective customers regarding the
timing of their needs for new firm transportation service, the Partnership had
determined that a temporary deferral of the construction of the Brookfield
Project was necessary. Specifically, Astoria Energy LLC, or Astoria, the largest
shipper for the Brookfield Project, had requested that its service be deferred
until November 1, 2005. On February 28, 2003, the Partnership and Astoria
executed an amendment to their precedent agreements reflecting this deferral.
However, on August 1, 2003, Astoria elected to terminate its precedent
agreements with the Partnership. The other original Brookfield Project shipper,
PPL Energy Plus, LLC, or PPL, also elected to terminate its precedent agreement,
and the Partnership is currently remarketing the Brookfield Project capacity.
Additionally, the Partnership is exploring other services and products that may
also utilize Brookfield Project capacity. As of December 31, 2004, the
Partnership had incurred approximately $2.5 million in construction expenditures
related to the Brookfield Project, primarily related to the purchase of the
Brookfield site.

         In anticipation of these developments, on April 22, 2003, the
Partnership requested an eighteen month extension from the FERC to extend the
construction completion time of the Brookfield Project to October 31, 2005. On
May 14, 2003, the FERC granted the Partnership's request and extended the
construction completion date to November 1, 2005.

         On June 27, 2003, the Partnership purchased real property in
Brookfield, CT, which was previously approved by the FERC as suitable for
construction of the Brookfield compressor station. In accordance with the FERC
approval, the site must be remediated before construction takes place. On
November 3, 2004, the Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection
approved the project's site remediation plan and scope of work schedule. Work
began in late November 2004 and is anticipated to be completed in early Spring
2005. Site remediation is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership's operating results or financial condition.

         Legal Proceedings-Other

         Eastchester Construction Incidents
         ----------------------------------

         On November 16, 2002, certain undersea electric transmission cables
owned by Long Island Lighting Partnership d/b/a The Long Island Power Authority,
or LIPA, and Connecticut Light and Power Partnership, or CL&P, were allegedly
damaged and/or severed when an anchor deployed by the DSV MR. SONNY, a work
vessel taking part in the construction of the Eastchester Extension, allegedly
allided with the cables. The MR. SONNY allegedly is owned by Cal Dive
International, Inc., a subcontractor of the Partnership's general contractor,
Horizon Offshore Contractors, Inc.

         On December 6, 2002, Cal Dive commenced a maritime limitation of
liability action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
New York, seeking exoneration from or limitation of liability in respect of this
incident. LIPA, CL&P, the Partnership, Horizon, and Thales GeoSolutions Group,
Ltd. (another of Horizon's subcontractors) have all filed claims in the
limitation action. In addition, LIPA, CL&P and their subrogated underwriters,
collectively referred to as the "Cable Interests," filed third-party claims
against the Partnership and its operating subsidiary, IPOC, as well as Horizon
and Thales, seeking recovery for their alleged losses. The Partnership filed
cross-


                                      F-22
<PAGE>



claims against Horizon and Thales for indemnification in respect of the Cable
Interests' claims, and Horizon filed a third-party claim against Thales. The
Cable Interests subsequently agreed to dismiss their claim against IPOC, but
without prejudice to their right to re-file that claim if they deem necessary.

         The Cable Interests originally claimed a total of $34.2 million in
damages, consisting of $14.4 million for repairs and repair related costs,
including LIPA and CL&P internal costs and overheads of $4.7 million, as well as
$19.9 million in consequential damages. In September 2004, the Cable Interests
amended their claim to $23.5 million, consisting of approximately $12.9 million
for repairs and repair related costs and $10.6 million in consequential damages.

         A mediation was conducted in February 2005, at the conclusion of which
all parties agreed to terms for a global settlement of the litigation. The
Partnership will be contributing nothing to the settlement, but will be given
full releases from all parties. A formal settlement agreement is being
negotiated, with a goal of all funds paid by April 15, 2005.

         In addition to the foregoing, the Partnership has been advised that the
Town of Huntington, New York may assert a claim against the Partnership alleging
violations of certain municipal ordinances on the basis of a claim that
dielectric fluid was released from the cable as a result of the incident. On
March 28, 2005, the Partnership and the Town of Huntington executed a settlement
agreement resolving this matter and another relating to restoration of Town
property. The Partnership does not admit any liability but will pay $45,100 to
resolve these matters.

         On February 27, 2003, the New York Power Authority, or NYPA, informed
the Partnership that one of four cables that comprised its Y-49 facility, which
is a 600 megawatt undersea electrical power interconnection between Westchester
County and LIPA's transmission system at Sands Point, New York, allegedly
sustained damage causing a disruption of power transmission over the line and
leakage of dielectric fluid. NYPA alleges that the damage was caused by an
anchor of Horizon's pipeline lay barge, the GULF HORIZON, which was in the
vicinity of NYPA's cable and was involved in work in the Eastchester Extension
at the time of the casualty.

         By letter dated March 25, 2003, counsel representing NYPA and LIPA
informed the Partnership that they intend to hold the Partnership, Horizon and
Horizon's subcontractor, Thales, jointly and severally liable for the full
extent of their damages, which they allege includes emergency response costs,
repair of the damaged electrical cable, loss of use and disruption of service,
and certain other as yet unspecified damages arising out of or relating to the
incident.

         The Partnership is a party to an agreement with NYPA, which provides,
among other things, that the Partnership will indemnify NYPA for damage to the
Y-49 cables, which results from the Partnership's or its contractors'
negligence, acts, omissions or willful misconduct. Under the terms of the
construction contract between Horizon and the Partnership, Horizon is obligated
to indemnify the Partnership for Horizon's negligence associated with the
construction of the Eastchester Extension. Horizon is also contractually
responsible for its sub-contractor's negligence. As required by the contract,
Horizon named the Partnership as an additional named insured under Horizon's
policies of insurance. The Partnership is still investigating whether Horizon's
insurance is adequate to cover the Partnership for its potential losses in this
matter. The Partnership may also be entitled to indemnity as an additional
insured under Thales' policies of insurance, although this matter is also still
subject to


                                      F-23
<PAGE>


further investigation. The Partnership has placed Horizon and its underwriters
on notice that it intends to hold Horizon responsible. The Partnership has
further requested that Horizon assume its defense and hold it harmless in
respect of this claim; however, to date, Horizon has rejected this request. The
Partnership has also placed its own insurance underwriters on notice and they
are funding the costs for the Partnership's defense. The Partnership also
commenced a declaratory judgment action against Horizon's primary liability
insurer seeking coverage and is currently investigating the applicability of all
other available insurance coverages.

         On August 15, 2003, Horizon commenced a maritime limitation of
liability action in the United States District Court for the Southern District
of Texas, Houston Division, captioned In the Matter of Horizon Vessels Inc., as
owner of the GULF HORIZON, seeking exoneration from or limitation of liability
in connection with this incident. Horizon's suit contends that if it is not
entitled to exoneration, its liability should be limited to $19.3 million,
representing the value of the GULF HORIZON and her pending freight, and
Horizon's insurers have provided an undertaking (subject to policy defenses) to
pay any judgment that may be rendered in the suit up to $19.3 million. NYPA,
LIPA and the insurers of the Y-49 cable, collectively referred to as, the Y-49
Cable Interests, also have filed claims in the limitation action asserting total
damages of approximately $18.2 million. On November 12, 2003, the Partnership
filed an Answer in Horizon's action, requesting that the limitation of liability
action be dismissed and/or that the limitation injunction be lifted to permit
the Partnership to pursue its claims against Horizon in the forum of its choice,
or, in the alternative, that Horizon be denied limitation rights under the
Limitation Act. The Partnership also filed a claim in Horizon's limitation
action seeking indemnity for any liability it may be found to have to the Y-49
Cable Interests as a result of the NYPA cable incident as well as all losses
suffered by the Partnership as a result thereof, and, on a protective basis,
seeking full damages for Horizon's breaches and deficient performance under the
Partnership/Horizon construction contract, which claims are unrelated to the
NYPA cable incident. (For resolution of these unrelated claims, see Easchester
Contractor Litigation Settlement discussion below.) Thales also has filed a
claim in the Horizon limitation action seeking indemnity for any liability it
may be found to have to the Y-49 Cable Interests or the Partnership. The Y-49
Cable Interests and the Partnership both filed motions to transfer the Texas
action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
Thales joined in those motions. By order entered February 27, 2004, the court
denied the motions to transfer. However, in doing so, the court confirmed that
the Partnership could pursue its contract claims against Horizon outside of the
limitation action and that Horizon had no right to limit its liability as to the
Partnership's contract claims. The Y-49 Cable Interests filed cross claims
against the Partnership alleging claims under the Crossing Agreement between the
Partnership and NYPA in common law tort.

         The Y-49 Cable Interests filed a motion for partial summary judgment
against the Partnership on October 13, 2004. The motion asks the court to find
the Partnership liable for indemnity under the Crossing Agreement for all costs
and expenses incurred by the Y-49 Cable Interests directly related to the
emergency response to the incident and for the costs and expenses of the
temporary and permanent repairs. The Partnership believes the motion is
premature and has opposed the motion. The motion is now fully briefed and
pending before the court for decision.

         The parties presently are engaging in document discovery, and the
Partnership is still in the process of investigating this incident and
evaluating its rights, obligations and responsibilities. Given the preliminary
stage of this matter, the Partnership is unable to assess the likelihood of an
unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of loss, if any, in the event of
an unfavorable outcome.


                                      F-24
<PAGE>


         The Partnership has also learned that as part of the Eastchester
construction there may have been one or more violations by the contractor of the
exclusionary zones established around certain specified areas of possible
cultural resources, namely underwater archeological sites such as shipwrecks,
along the pipeline's marine route and the contractor may have placed anchors
outside the authorized construction corridor. At this time, the Partnership has
no information that any sites were in fact damaged. The Partnership has informed
the FERC and the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation of this matter. At this time, the Partnership is unable to
determine if there will be any material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial condition and results of operations due to this matter.

         Pursuant to its agreements with the owners of the electric transmission
cables that the Eastchester facilities cross in the Long Island Sound, the
Partnership performed certain post-construction surveys to verify the condition
of the cable crossings and confirm the location of the pipeline. Specifically,
the Partnership had constructed a "structure" over the Y-50 cable system
consisting of lightweight flexible concrete mattresses under the pipeline,
specially fabricated concrete blocks adjacent to the pipeline and crushed rock.
The surveys and additional follow-up studies indicate that the "structure" may
have settled to a greater extent than originally anticipated and that its
location is believed to be 65 feet north of the location where the pipeline
crosses the Y-50 cable. The Partnership has been discussing this matter with the
owner of the Y-50 cable system as to whether and how these issues should be
modified and has notified the FERC by letter dated September 3, 2004. Given the
preliminary stage of this matter, the Partnership is unable to assess the
likelihood of an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of costs, if
any, in the event of an unfavorable outcome.

         No liabilities have been recorded by the Partnership in conjunction
with any of the preceding legal matters.

         Eastchester Contractor Litigation Settlement
         --------------------------------------------

         On March 11, 2005, Iroquois, Horizon and its Subcontractors reached an
agreement resolving the claims and counter claims made in the Horizon, Weeks,
Cal Dive and Tom Allen proceedings described below, collectively referred to as
Eastchester Contract Suits. In addition, Iroquois has reached an agreement in
principle with certain of its insurance carriers regarding the recovery of a
portion of the costs related to a failed directional pipeline drill that
occurred during the construction of the Eastchester lateral. The Partnership's
projected $334 million total Eastchester capital costs included the costs for
the settlement of the Eastchester Contract Suits and the expected insurance
recovery associated with the directional drill.

         On January 20, 2004, Horizon filed a complaint against the Partnership
and IPOC in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (Index
No. 04/600140). The complaint alleges that the Partnership wrongfully terminated
its agreement with Horizon to perform the Eastchester construction work in Long
Island Sound and that the Partnership committed other breaches of such agreement
in conjunction with the Eastchester construction work. The complaint seeks
damages in excess of $40 million. On April 7, 2004, the Partnership filed in
such court proceeding an amended answer and counterclaims against Horizon
totaling in excess of $66 million.


                                      F-25
<PAGE>


         On March 1, 2004 and in a duplicate filing on March 9, 2004, Cal Dive
filed a Mechanic's Lien totaling $3.3 million in the offices of the Clerk of
Bronx and Suffolk Counties, respectively. Cal Dive was in privity with Horizon
and provided services to Horizon during the Eastchester construction work. The
Partnership instructed Horizon to address the lien notice pursuant to its
contractual obligations. The Partnership also demanded further information from
Cal Dive on the particulars of its lien. The Partnership does not believe it
owes Cal Dive any monies and plans to vigorously contest the validity of the
liens. Furthermore, the Partnership, on April 1 and April 5, 2004 in compliance
with Section 6.2(c)(ii) of its Second Supplemental Indenture, dated August 13,
2003, posted bonds to discharge the Mechanic's Liens.

         On September 10, 2004, Cal Dive filed a complaint against the
Partnership in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New
York. The complaint alleges that Cal Dive has not been paid $3.3 million for
work that it performed on the Eastchester project. The Partnership filed an
answer to the Cal Dive action on October 15, 2004 and commenced a third party
action against Horizon on October 25, 2004.

         On June 14, 2004, Tom Allen Construction Company, or Tom Allen, one of
Horizon's subcontractors for the Eastchester project, filed a complaint against
Horizon and the Partnership in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New
York County. Tom Allen was responsible for performing the directional drills at
Northport and Hunts Point. Tom Allen is claiming that it has not been paid for
work associated with a failed directional drill at Hunt's Point and is seeking
$5.6 million in damages from Horizon and the Partnership. The Partnership served
an answer to the complaint and various discovery demands on July 30, 2004.

         On July 21, 2004 Weeks Marine Inc., or Weeks, one of Horizon's
subcontractors for the Eastchester project, filed a complaint against Horizon
and the Partnership in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York
County. Weeks was responsible for certain marine construction operations
including dredging, rock placement, fabric placement and associated activities
along the Eastchester project. Weeks is claiming that it has not been paid for
work associated with the marine portion of the Eastchester project and is
seeking $18.5 million in damages from Horizon and the Partnership. The
Partnership filed an answer to the complaint on August 16, 2004.

Capobianco, A. vs. Iroquois Gas & Consolidated Edison Company of New York
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         On January 28, 2004, Anthony Capobianco filed a complaint against the
Partnership, IPOC and Consolidated Edison Company of New York in the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, New York County (Index No. 101366/04). The
complaint alleges that Mr. Capobianco, an employee of Hallen Construction
Partnership, Inc., or Hallen, sustained personal injuries resulting from an
electrical current causing severe electrical shock while performing his duties
as part of the construction of the Hunts Point segment of the Partnership's
Eastchester project. Hallen was the Partnership's contractor employed to
construct that segment of the project. The claim is asserted for damages in the
amount of $10 million. The Partnership has notified its insurance carriers and
an answer has been filed to the complaint. Hallen's insurer has agreed to
indemnify and defend the Partnership in this action up to the $1 million limit
of its general liability insurance policy. Additionally, Hallen has coverage
under an excess liability policy up to $20 million. Given the preliminary nature
of this matter, at this time, the Partnership is unable to determine the
likelihood of


                                      F-26
<PAGE>


an unfavorable outcome and/or the amount or range of loss, if any, in the event
of an unfavorable outcome.

National Energy & Gas Transmission Inc. (NEGT) and its Subsidiaries' Bankruptcy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Filing
------

         On July 8, 2003, PG&E Corporation reported that NEGT and a number of
its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11
of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These subsidiaries include PG&E Energy Trading
Holdings Corporation, PG&E Energy Trading-Gas Corporation, PG&E Energy
Trading-Power Corporation, PG&E ET Investments Corporation, and US Gen New
England, Inc. (US Gen NE).

         US Gen NE had two firm transportation service agreements with the
Partnership, one for 40,702 Dth/d, which expires on November 1, 2013, and one
for 12,000 Dth/d, which expires on April 1, 2018. The total monthly demand
charges for both contracts were $0.5 million. On September 5, 2003, the
bankruptcy court authorized the rejection of US Gen NE's two firm transportation
contracts. In February 2004, the Partnership entered into a ten year contract
for the 12,000 Dth/d while the remaining unsubscribed capacity of 40,720 Dth/d
will continue to be remarketed on a short term basis until longer term market
opportunities emerge. On October 15, 2003, the Partnership filed a proof of
claim with the bankruptcy court for $49.8 million, representing the present
value of the two rejected contracts.

         On March 2, 2005, representatives of the Partnership and US Gen NE
agreed in principal to a settlement agreement regarding the Partnership's proof
of claim with the bankruptcy court. Under said settlement, the Partnership
expects to receive $8.4 million, the value of its mitigated claim as well as,
approximately $2.1 million as a result of retained cash collaterals for a total
settlement of approximately $10.5 million plus 4% interest accruing from the
start of the claim. Based on US Gen NE's disclosure statement filed with the
Bankruptcy Court, US Gen NE estimates to pay 100% of each unsecured claim. The
settlement is in the process of being approved by both parties and the
Bankruptcy Court. The Partnership expects to record any funds received as part
of this bankruptcy proceeding as "Other Income."

         On September 15, 2004, NEGT announced that it had entered into an
agreement with GS Power Holdings II LLC (a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs) to
purchase NEGT's indirect equity interest in the Partnership. NEGT's indirect
interest is held through JMC-Iroquois, Inc. and Iroquois Pipeline Investment,
LLC, both of which represent a 5.77% interest in the Partnership. On January 31,
2005, Cogentrix Energy, Inc. ("Cogentrix") announced that, through its
subsidiaries Cogentrix Power Holdings I LLC and Cogentrix Power Holdings II LLC,
it had acquired the equity interests in both JMC-Iroquois, Inc. and Iroquois

Enron Corp. and Affiliated Entities Bankruptcy Filing
-----------------------------------------------------

         Enron Corp. and Enron North America Corp., collectively Enron, filed
voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New
York, or Bankruptcy Court, in 2001. In October 2002, the Partnership filed
Proofs of Claim with the Bankruptcy Court in the amount of $1,593,362.39 for
Claim 1 and in the amount of Unknown dollars for Claim 2 resulting from
termination by Enron of the Partnership's Gas Transportation (Contract No.
R-1250-05). On February 22, 2005, by Letter Agreement, Enron


                                      F-27
<PAGE>


agreed to allow the Partnership $1,816,762.70 in unsecured claims, subject to
the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Based on Enron's disclosure statement
filed with the Bankruptcy Court, Enron estimates to pay 20% of each unsecured
claim. The Partnership expects to record any funds received as part of this
bankruptcy proceeding as "Other Income."

         The Partnership is a party to various other legal matters incidental to
its business. However, the Partnership believes that the outcome of these
proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial condition or results of operations.

         Leases

         The Partnership leases its office space under operating lease
arrangements. The leases expire at various dates through 2011 and are renewable
at the Partnership's option. The Partnership also leases a right-of-way easement
on Long Island, NY, which requires annual payments escalating 5% per year over
the 39-year term of the lease, which expires in 2030. In addition, the
Partnership leases various equipment under non-cancelable operating leases.
During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Partnership made
payments of $1.1, $1.2 and $0.9 million per year, respectively, under operating
leases which were recorded as rental expense. Future minimum rental payments
under operating lease arrangements are as follows (millions of dollars):

                           Year                     Amount

         NOTE 10

         RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS:

         During 1997, the Partnership established a noncontributory cash balance
retirement plan ("CBRP") covering substantially all employees. Pension benefits
are based on years of credited service and employees' career earnings, as
defined in the CBRP. The Partnership's funding policy is to contribute,
annually, an amount at least equal to that which will satisfy the minimum
funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA")
plus such additional amounts, if any, as the Partnership may determine to be
appropriate from time to time.

         During 1997 and 1998 the Partnership also adopted excess benefit plans
("EBPs") that provide retirement benefits to executive officers and other key
management staff. The EBPs recognize total compensation and service that would
otherwise be disregarded due to Internal Revenue Code limitations on
compensation in determining benefits under the regular retirement plan. The EBPs
are not considered to be funded for ERISA purposes and benefits are paid when
due from general corporate assets. A Rabbi Trust, which is included in other
assets and deferred charges on the Partnership's balance sheets, has been
established to partially cover this obligation. The Rabbi Trust is an
irrevocable trust which can be used to satisfy creditors.

         The consolidated net cost for the CBRP and the EBP's (collectively the
"Plans") included in the consolidated statements of income for the years ending
December 31 (which is the measurement date for each year), include the following
components (thousands of dollars):

are made to the expected long-term rate of return assumption when deemed
necessary based upon revised expectations of future investment performance of
the overall capital markets.

         The Partnership's investment goal is to obtain a competitive risk
adjusted return on the pension plan assets commensurate with prudent investment
practices and the plan's responsibility to provide retirement benefits for its
participants, retirees and their beneficiaries. The Plan's asset allocation
targets are strategic and long term in nature and are designed to take advantage
of the risk reducing impacts of asset class diversification. The Plan's target
asset allocations are as follows:

          Asset Category                              2004         2003
          ---------------------------------------- ------------ ------------

         Plan assets are periodically rebalanced to their asset class targets to
reduce risk and to retain the portfolio's strategic risk/return profile.
Investments within each asset category are further diversified with regard to
investment style and concentration of holdings.
