Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
To the Shareholders of Unitil Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated
statements of capitalization of Unitil Corporation and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, cash flows and changes in common stock equity for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Unitil
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.
We have also audited Schedule VIII of Unitil Corporation and subsidiaries as
of December 31, 1999 and for the three years then ended included in Part IV
Item 14. In our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information required to be set forth therein.
