Note A: Basis of Presentation

The information furnished herewith reflects all adjustments, which are in the opinion of management necessary to a fair statement of the results for the period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys latest annual report on Form 10-KSB. These unaudited interim financial statements have not been audited or certified by a firm of certified public accountants.

Note B: New Accounting Standards

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised SFAS No. 132, "Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-retirement Benefits," which added disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans. The annual disclosure requirements are effective for the Companys fiscal year ending 2004. The disclosures provided by the Company in its 2003 annual report on Form 10-K comply with most of the annual disclosure requirements of the new Statement. In its 2004 annual report, the Company will enhance its disclosure of investment strategies and the basis for determining the long-term rate of return on plan assets assumption. Also, the Company will provide information related to the amount and timing of expected future benefit payments. Under SFAS No. 132, companies are now required to report the various elements of pension benefit costs on a quarterly basis. The quarterly disclosure requirements were effective beginning the second quarter of fiscal year 2004, and the Company has included interim disclosures under Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits below.

In December 2003, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104, "Revenue Recognition," which updates the guidance in SAB No. 101, integrates the related set Frequently Asked Questions, and recognizes the role of EITF 00-21. The adoption of SAB No. 104 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 46, "Consolidation of variable Interest entities and interpretation of ARB 51" (FIN 46). FIN 46 addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of a variable interest entity. It defines variable interest entities as those entities with a business purpose that either do not have equity investors with voting rights in proportion to such investors equity for the entity to support its activities and have equity investors that lack a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 also requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate, but in which it has a significant variable interest. FIN 46 consolidation requirements apply immediately to variable interest entities created on or obtained after January 31, 2003, but this had no impact on the Companys 2003 financial statements. A modification to FIN 46 ("FIN 46R") was released on December 17, 2003. FIN 46R delayed the effective date for variable interest entities created before February 1, 2003, with the exception of special-purpose entities, until the first fiscal year or interim period after December 15, 2003. As of January 1, 2004, the Company adopted FIN 46R. In conjunction with this adoption, the Company performed an evaluation of variable interest entities in which it has an ownership, contractual or other monetary interest and adopted FIN 46R. The adoption of FIN 46R did not have a material effect on the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note C: Dividends

On November 13, 2003 the Companys Board of Directors approved a stock dividend of 5% of the Companys common stock payable on or about December 31, 2003 to stockholders of record on December 1, 2003.

Note D - Pension and Other Post-retirement Benefit Plans

The following illustrates the disclosures of a publicly traded entity for the third fiscal quarter beginning after September 30, 2003.

Components of Net Period Benefit Cost

The required contribution for plan year ended December 31, 2003 is $447,268 of which a payment of $118,916 has been made. The remaining payments of $328,352 will be made prior to September 15, 2004.

Note E: Subsequent Event

On July 8, 2004, the Company sold the assets of Foodmart Plaza LLC for $1,300,000. Proceeds from the sale were used to pay expenses and payoff the mortgage. A gain was recognized on the sale.

As the Companys business is seasonal, the interim results should not be used as an indication of what results of the fiscal year 2004 may be.

Consolidated revenue of $5,607,000 for the quarter decreased $677,000 compared to the same quarter last year due primarily to a decrease in utility revenue as a result of a decrease in gas costs billed.

Consolidated net loss for the quarter was $159,300 compared to a loss of $206,000 in the same quarter the previous year. A net loss of $131,900 was experienced in the utility operations compared to a loss of $206,500 last year. The loss is due to the seasonality of utility operations and the 2004 improvement is due in part to reduced interest expense due to lower rates and lower outstanding borrowings. In addition, 2004 contains approximately $40,000 of new revenues from the transportation of local production gas. Corning Realty experienced earnings of $89,900 for the quarter compared to earnings of $13,200 for the same quarter last year as the result of reduced advertising, occupancy and commission expenses. The Foodmart Plaza experienced earnings of $15,400 compared to earnings of $16,200 last year. The Tax Center International experienced earnings of $8,300 compared to $40,500 last year due to a reduction in consulting revenues. Corning Mortgage experienced earnings of $2,300 compared to earnings of $14,000 last year.

The former Appliance segment experienced a net loss of $143,500 versus a loss of $83,800 last year. The $143,500 is made up of a loss from discontinued operations of $4,500 and expense allocations (net of tax) of $139,000, which is included in net loss from non-utility operations. The assets of the Appliance Corporation were sold and operations discontinued in September 2003, but that segment still incurs expense allocations that were established in the Companys last rate case by the New York Public Service Commissions (PSCs) December 23, 2002 Order Adopting the Terms of a Joint Proposal (2002 Order). The pre-sale allocations between regulated and unregulated business segments were used as a basis for setting the rates that became effective as of January 11, 2003 and that are to continue through 2005. Upon the sale of the Appliance Corporation assets, the amounts allocated to unregulated operations became overstated and, conversely, the amounts allocated to regulated operations, which would otherwise be recoverable in rates, became understated.

On March 12, 2004, the Company filed with the PSC a petition to amend the Joint Proposal approved in its last rate case. Among the matters highlighted in the Petition as requiring review and modification were:

(a) the allocation of costs between utility and non-utility business functions to reflect the sale of the Companys Appliance business; (b) restrictions on the Companys ability to record as current income the $174,124 annual additional revenues for improving its equity ratio; (c) the treatment of the costs of Pensions and Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEBs) for prior periods; and (d) the computation of costs pertaining to natural gas stored underground. On July 23, 2004, the Company reached a settlement (Joint Proposal) with the staff of the Public Service Commission. The Joint Proposal represents a negotiated resolution of the issues, and is subject to final approval by the Public Service Commission. The Joint Proposal provides for the release of the $174,124 from rate year 2003 to income, as well as the release of the pro-rata portion of $174,124 for rate year 2004. The Joint Proposal also provides for the filing of a deferral petition for the allocation costs resulting from the sale of the Appliance business. Hence, these costs will be deferred on the Balance Sheet, and subject to a future PSC review for recovery through utility rates. Although the Company cannot predict for certain when the PSC will issue its decision on the July 23 Joint Proposal, it is expected that such action will be taken in fiscal 2004.

The Company finances its capital additions, as well as gas purchased, through a combination of internally generated funds and short-term borrowing. For all operations, the Company has $8,000,000 available through lines of credit at local banks, the terms of which are disclosed in the Companys latest annual report on form 10-KSB. It is expected that, on a consolidated basis, current capital resources will continue to be sufficient for the Companys operations over the next twelve months. As described in the Companys Petition to the PSC, however, the sufficiency of cash flow for regulated operations continues to be dependent upon resources from the Companys unregulated operations. The Company currently projects that it will need to refinance a portion of its short-term borrowings as long-term debt to avoid a potential cash flow shortage during 2005. The Companys ability to effect such a refinancing is dependent, in part, on PSC approval of the July 23 Joint Proposal.
