         Connecticut Valley Electric Company Inc. ("CVEC"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CVPS, incorporated under the laws of the State of New Hampshire, has its principal office in Claremont, New Hampshire.

         The principal business of CVEC is the purchase of electric energy and its transmission, distribution, and sale for light, power, heat and other purposes to over 10,000 customers in Claremont and 12 other towns and villages in New Hampshire.

         CVPS and CVEC have contracted with Public Service Company of New Hampshire ("PSNH") (not an affiliate of CVPS) to sell the electric distribution facilities of CVEC to PSNH. The sale is scheduled to close effective January 1, 2004, pending regulatory approvals. Following the sale, CVEC will not conduct business as a retail electric utility in New Hampshire.

         For financial reporting purposes, CVEC's financial data is included with CVPS on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

    VERMONT ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC.

         Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. ("VELCO"), a subsidiary of which CVPS owns 56.8% of its outstanding Class B voting Common Stock, $100 Par Value, 27.8% of its outstanding Class C non-voting Common Stock (approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on July 15, 2002), and 46.6% of its outstanding Preferred Stock, $100 Par Value, incorporated under the laws of the State of Vermont, has its principal office in the Town of Rutland, Vermont.

         VELCO operates pursuant to the terms of the 1985 Four-Party Agreement (as amended) with the Company and two other major distribution companies in Vermont. Although the Company owns 50.6% of VELCO's outstanding Common Stock, the Four-Party Agreement effectively restricts the Company's control of VELCO. Therefore, VELCO's financial statements have not been consolidated. The Four-Party Agreement continued in full force and effect until midnight June 30, 1985, and was extended thereafter as follows until June 30, 1986, with an automatic renewal from year to year unless, at least ninety (90) days prior to any succeeding anniversary, any party were to notify the other parties in writing that it desired to terminate the agreement as of such anniversary. By Amendment to the 1985 Four-Party Agreement dated February 1, 1987, the Agreement continued until May 1, 1987 and thereafter for additional two-year terms, unless at least ninety (90) days prior to any two-year anniversary, any party were to notify the other parties in writing that it desires to terminate the Agreement as of such anniversary. No such notification has been filed by the parties.

         On December 27, 1985, the Company, VELCO and the two other major distribution companies entered into the 1985 Option Agreement (as amended) for the purpose of modifying the terms of an option to purchase certain facilities owned by VELCO, but located in the individual company's service territory, which were originally outlined in the Four-Party Agreement. The option was extended from time to time and expired on December 31, 2001. However, the parties are in the process of completing an amendment that will extend the Agreement from December 31, 2001.

         VELCO provides transmission services for the State of Vermont acting by and through the Vermont Department of Public Service and for all of the electric distribution utilities in the State of Vermont. VELCO is reimbursed for its costs (as defined in the agreements relating thereto) for the transmission of power which VELCO transmits for the State of Vermont and the electric distribution utilities.

         VELCO also has an agreement for power purchases form Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation which it resells at its cost to CVPS and another electric distribution utility in the State of Vermont.

         VELCO is also a participant with all of the major electric utilities in New England in the New England Power Pool, acting for itself and as agent for twenty-two other electric utilities in Vermont, including CVPS, whereby the generating and transmission facilities of all of the participants are coordinated on a New England-wide basis through a central dispatching agency to assure their operation and maintenance in accordance with proper standards of reliability, and to attain the maximum practicable economy for all of the participants through the interchange of economy and emergency power.

Exhibit A

CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION
AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
For the Year Ended December 31, 2002

Note A - Consolidation:

      The consolidating financial statements include the accounts of Central Vermont Public Service Corporation (CVPS), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Connecticut Valley Electric Company Inc. (CVEC), C. V. Realty, Inc., Central Vermont Public Service Corporation - East Barnet Hydroelectric, Inc. (East Barnet), Custom Investment Corporation (CIC), and Catamount Resources Corporation (CRC) which compose CVPS consolidated. In addition, for purposes of this SEC Form U-3A-2, the consolidating financial statements include the accounts of CVPS's affiliates, Vermont Electric Power Company, Inc. (VELCO) 50.6 percent owned, Vermont Electric Transmission Company, Inc. (VETCO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VELCO and Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation (VY) 33.23 percent owned, which constitutes total consolidated.

      CVPS follows the equity method of accounting for its investments in affiliates. See Note D.

Note B - Income taxes:

      CVPS and its wholly-owned subsidiaries

      The Company records income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

      A valuation allowance has been recorded, in the amount of $4.2 million to reflect management's best estimate of loss credit carry forwards that will not ultimately be utilized. All other deferred income assets are expected to be realized.

      VELCO

      VELCO records income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 109, additional deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from VELCO's transmission billing calculation will be returned to, or collected from, ratepayers in future transmission billings. VELCO expects all deferred income tax assets will be utilized in the future.

      VY

      Vermont Yankee records taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," requiring an asset and liability approach to determine income tax liabilities. The Standard requires recognition of tax assets and liabilities for the cumulative effect of all temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities.

Notes to Consolidating Financial Statements
(continued)

Note C - VETCO:

      VETCO has entered into support agreements in connection with construction of the transmission lines with substantially all of the New England electric utilities. The support agreements require the utilities to reimburse VETCO for all operating and capital costs of the transmission line on an unconditional and absolute basis. In return, VETCO has agreed to build, own, operate and maintain the line and to involve itself in no other activities during the term of the agreement, which extends for 30 years from the date of commercial operation of the line. These support agreements also provide for an advisory committee made up of participants to review the operations of VETCO and to make recommendations on major decisions. VETCO is obligated to follow these recommendations to the extent reasonably practical.

      Although VELCO owns 100 percent of VETCO's outstanding Common Stock, these provisions of the support agreements effectively restrict VELCO's control, VELCO has not consolidated its financial information with that of VETCO and instead is accounting for its investment using the equity method.
