Segment Performance Summary

Electric

Electric revenues increased 1.3% to $72.1 million in the third quarter of 2007 compared with $71.2 million in the third quarter of 2006 due to increases of $0.6 million in other electric revenues, $0.2 million in retail electric revenues and $0.1 million in net revenues from wholesale sales and energy trading activities, including mark-to-market losses on forward energy contracts. Electric segment third quarter 2007 net income of $6.5 million was unchanged from third quarter 2006 net income.

The main contributor to the increase in other electric revenues was an increase in revenue from electric construction work performed for other companies. The increase in retail revenues reflects $0.5 million related to a 4.1% increase in retail kilowatt-hour (kwh) sales, offset by a $0.3 million decrease in Fuel Clause Adjustment (FCA) revenues related to a 6.6% decrease in fuel and purchased power costs per kwh generated and purchased for system use. The increase in retail kwh sales reflects increased consumption by commercial and pipeline customers. Electric operating expenses, including fuel and purchased power, increased $0.3 million between the quarters mainly as a result of increases of $0.8 million in material costs related to construction work performed for others and $0.4 million in property taxes and depreciation expense related to an increase in plant in service between the quarters, offset by a $0.9 million reduction in fuel and purchased power expenses.
