Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, the Company had appealed the March 29, 2005 Public Service Board order in the Company’s prior rate case to the Vermont Supreme Court. On July 18, 2006, the Court issued its decision, a copy of which is furnished with this filing. The Court deferred to the Board’s analyses and upheld each section of the rate order we had appealed.

The Company did not include any anticipated benefits from the appeal in its budgeting and forecasting processes, financial restoration plan or current rate case. The effects of the Board’s order, including those sections which were appealed, were reflected in our 1st Quarter 2005 financial statements. Accordingly, this decision will have no impact on our 2006 financial statements.

The Company remains focused on its financial restoration plan, which has been discussed in previous disclosures. Under this plan, we have taken numerous steps since the Board’s order to improve our financial strength, and we will continue to implement our restoration plan in the months ahead.
