See accompanying notes to consolidated condensed financial statements. 3 6 FALL RIVER GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Results of Operations Gas operating revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1995 decreased to $29,473,000, $4,106,000 and 12.2% lower than the $33,579,000 recorded for the comparable period in 1994, with revenues for the second quarter comparisons reflecting a decrease to $19,483,000, $2,899,000 and 12.9% lower than 1994. During the six month period, revenues from the cost of gas adjustment clause (CGAC) and the embedded cost of gas in the base rate decreased by $4,050,000, with the second quarer comparisons reflecting a decrease of $2,779,000 as a result of decreased sales volume and a lower CGAC decimal. Increases or decreases in the cost of gas sold continue to be passed on to our customers, dollar for dollar, in accordance with the Company's approved CGAC. On top of the decrease in operating revenues due to the CGAC decimal was a decrease in firm sales volume due to warmer weather. Degree Days in the quarter comparisons decreased from 3,395 to 2,911, 14.3%, and for the six months decreased from 5,400 to 4,713, 12.7%. Total operating expenses, excluding federal and state income taxes, for the three month period decreased from $19,454,000 to $17,024,000, a decrease of $2,430,000 and 12.5%, while the six month comparisons reflected a decrease from $29,712,000 to $26,543,000, a decrease of $3,168,000 and 10.7%. The most significant operating expense - cost of gas sold - decreased by $3,340,000 and $2,444,000 for the six month and three month comparisons, respectively, due to decreased gas costs billed to our customers along with decreased sales volume as discussed above. Other operating expenses including health benefits, payroll, and materials and supplies have decreased by $71,000, 1.4%, and $76,000, 2.8%, for the six and three month comparisons. Interest expense increased by $161,000, 29.2%, for the six month comparison and $102,000, 37.9%, for the three month comparison as a result of increased borrowing and higher short term interest cost. Capital Resources and Liquidity The Company's major capital requirement results from upgrading the efficiency of existing plant as well as to serve additional customers. For the six months ended March 31, 1995, capital expenditures totalled approximately $2,000,000. Cash flow patterns reflect the seasonality of the Company's business. The greatest demand for cash is in the late fall and winter as construction projects are brought to completion and accounts receivable balances rise. Capital expenditures and accounts receivable balances were financed by internally generated funds and supplemented by short-term borrowings. See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 7 FALL RIVER GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY ------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ------------------------------------------ 1.
