Report of Independent Certified Public Accountants
Administrator of
The UNITIL Corporation Tax Deferred
Savings and Investment Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for benefits of The UNITIL Corporation Tax Deferred Savings and
Investment Plan as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. 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 net assets available for
benefits of The UNITIL Corporation Tax Deferred Savings and Investment Plan
as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1997,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The UNITIL Corporation Tax Deferred Savings and Investment Plan
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of The UNITIL Corporation and subsidiaries (the
"Company") Tax Deferred Savings and Investment Plan (the "Plan") provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement
for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all full-time
employees of the Company and its' wholly owned subsidiaries UNITIL Service
Corporation, Concord Electric Company, Exeter and Hampton Electric Company
and Fitchburg Gas and Electric Light Company (the "subsidiaries"), who
satisfy the eligibility requirements. It is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
During the Plan year 1996, the Plan Administrator directed the transfer of
all Plan assets from the Bank of Boston to Putnam Investments (Putnam). The
transfer was made as a result of a change in custodianship of the assets.
Contributions
A member may authorize a Basic Employee Contribution from 1% to 12% with a
maximum contribution not to exceed $10,000 for 1997
The Employer shall contribute as of December 31, of each plan year from
current or accumulated net profits on behalf of each member participating in
the Plan on December 31, of each plan year, an amount equal to 100% of the
first 3% of salary the employee puts into the plan.
Participant Accounts
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
and allocations of (a) the Company's contribution and, (b) Plan earnings,
and charged (as applicable) with an allocation of administrative expenses.
Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined.
The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
provided from the participant's vested account. The Plan administrator will
pay for substantially all expenses of the Plan.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995
NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF PLAN - Continued
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
earnings thereon. Vesting in the Company's matching and discretionary
contribution portion of their accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based
on years of continuous service. A participant is 100 percent vested after
three years of credited service. If a participant terminates employment for
any reason other than disability or retirement, he will be entitled to the
full amount of contributions he has deposited, plus a percentage of his
account balance derived from employer contributions based upon the following
schedule:
Year of Service % Vested
0-1 0%
1-2 33%
2-3 67%
3+ 100%
A member will become 100% vested in his account as a result of disability,
death or retirement.
Participant Loans Receivable
Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a
maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balance. Net
loan transactions are treated as a transfer to (from) the investment fund
from (to) the Participant Loans fund. Loan terms range from 1-5 years or up
to 25 years for the purchase of primary residence. The loans are secured by
the balance in the participant's account and bear interest at a rate of prime
plus one percent (1%). Principal and interest is paid ratably through
monthly payroll deductions.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service due to death, disability or retirement, a
participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum amount equal to the value
of the participant's vested interest in his or her account, or annual
installments over a fixed number of calendar quarters or years.
Forfeitures
A member who terminates his employment prior to becoming eligible for
benefits and does not have a 100% vested right to Company contributions,
forfeits the amounts not vested. Such forfeited amounts are used to reduce
future Company contributions.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Effective Date
The Plan's effective date is July 1, 1987, as amended effective May 8, 1992
and January 1, 1994. The Plan as amended effective May 8, 1992, provided
for the merger of the Fitchburg Gas and Electric Tax Deferred Savings and
Investment Plan with The Plan. The Plan as amended effective January 1,
1994, provided for the merger of the Fitchburg Gas and Electric Light Company
Union Tax Deferred Savings and Investment Plan into the Plan.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method
of accounting.
Management Estimates
In preparing the financial statements in conformity to Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan is administered by a trustee. The Plan's investments (including
investments bought, sold and held during the year) are carried at current
fair value. The difference between current fair value and the cost of
investments are included in net appreciation or (depreciation) in fair value

Independent Auditors' Report
Administrator of
The UNITIL Corporation Tax Deferred
Savings and Investment Plan
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an
opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules of assets held for investment purposes and schedule of reportable
transactions are presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not
a part of the required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employment Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedules have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial
statements, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
