    investments, FiveCom LLC and NECOM LLC, were reorganized along with other
    related companies to form a new company, NorthEast Optic Network, Inc.
    (NEON), now called NEON Communications, Inc.  Mode 1's ownership interest
    of 40.78 percent in the new company was equal to its combined ownership
    interest in FiveCom LLC and NECOM LLC. In August 1998, NEON issued
    4,000,000 new common shares on the open market in an initial public
    offering (IPO).  In September 2000, two unaffiliated companies agreed to
    acquire 4,607,878 shares of NEON over time pursuant to a milestone
    schedule.  Assuming the issuance of all shares, Mode 1 would own 20.5
    percent of NEON on a fully diluted basis.

Part III.  The information provided herein is applicable to all system
           companies, except as indicated otherwise.

     a.    Compensation Of Trustees, Directors, and Executive Officers

     During 2000, each Trustee who was not an employee of NU or its
subsidiaries was compensated at an annual rate of $20,000 cash plus 500 common
shares of NU, and received $1,000 for each meeting attended of the Board or its
Committees.  A non-employee Trustee who participates in a meeting of the Board
or any of its Committees by conference telephone receives $675 per meeting.
Also, a non-employee Trustee who is asked by either the Board of Trustees or
the Chairman of the Board to perform extra services in the interest of the NU
system may receive additional compensation of $1,000 per day plus necessary
expenses.  The Chairs of the Audit, the Compensation, the Corporate Affairs,
the Corporate Governance and the Nuclear Committees were compensated at an
additional annual rate of $3,500.  In addition to the above compensation,
Dr. Kennan is paid at the annual rate of $30,000 for the extra services
performed as Lead Trustee.  The Chair of the Nuclear Committee receives an
additional retainer at the rate of $25,000 per year.

     Under the terms of the Incentive Plan adopted by shareholders at the 1998
Annual Meeting, each non-employee Trustee is eligible for stock-based grants.
During 2000 each such Trustee was granted nonqualified options to purchase
2,500 common shares of NU.  Receipt of shares acquired on exercise of these
options may be deferred pursuant to the terms of the Northeast Utilities
Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives.

     In February 2000, each non-employee Trustee was granted nonqualified
options to purchase 2,500 common shares.

     Prior to the beginning of each calendar year, each non-employee Trustee
may irrevocably elect to have all or any portion of the annual retainer fee
paid in the form of common shares of NU.  Pursuant to the Northeast Utilities
Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees, each Trustee may also irrevocably
elect to defer receipt of some or all cash and/or share compensation.

     During 2000 each non-employee Director of PSNH and WMECO was compensated
at an annual rate of $10,000 cash, and received $500 for each meeting attended
of the Board of Directors or, in the case of PSNH, its committees.  A
non-employee Director who participates in a meeting of the Board of Directors
or any of its committees by conference telephone receives $300 per meeting.
Also, committee chairs were compensated at an additional annual rate of $1,500.

     Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires Trustees and
certain officers of NU and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of
the outstanding common shares of NU to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange.  Based on review of
copies of such forms furnished to NU, or written representations that no Form 5
was required, NU believes that for the year ended December 31, 2000, all such
reporting requirements were complied with in a timely manner except that
Mr. Cloud failed to include on his Form 3 shares of NU acquired in the Yankee
merger, and Mr. Pape failed to report until 2001, 800 shares of CL&P preferred
stock acquired in 1994 by a privately-held corporation of which he is a 7.9
percent owner.

PENSION BENEFITS

     The following table shows the estimated annual retirement benefits payable
to an executive officer of NU upon retirement, assuming that retirement occurs
at age 65 and that the officer is at that time not only eligible for a pension
benefit under the Northeast Utilities Service Company Retirement Plan (the
Retirement Plan) but also eligible for the make-whole benefit and the target
benefit under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for Officers of NU
system companies (the Supplemental Plan).  The Supplemental Plan is a non-
qualified pension plan providing supplemental retirement income to system
officers.  The make-whole benefit under the Supplemental Plan, available to
all officers, makes up for benefits lost through application of certain tax
code limitations on the benefits that may be provided under the Retirement
Plan, and includes as "compensation" awards under the executive incentive plans
and deferred compensation (as earned).  The target benefit further supplements
these benefits and is available to officers at the Senior Vice President level
and higher who are selected by the Board of Trustees to participate in the
target benefit and who remain in the employ of NU companies until at least age
60 (unless the Board of Trustees sets an earlier age).

     The benefits presented below are based on a straight life annuity
beginning at age 65 and do not take into account any reduction for joint and
survivorship annuity payments.  Final average compensation for purposes of
calculating the target benefit is the highest average annual compensation of
the participant during any 36 consecutive months compensation was earned.
Compensation taken into account under the target benefit described above
includes salary, bonus, restricted stock awards, and long-term incentive
payouts shown in the Summary Compensation Table, but does not include
employer matching contributions under the 401k Plan.  In the event that an
officer's employment terminates because of disability, the retirement
benefits shown above would be offset by the amount of any disability benefits
payable to the recipient that are attributable to contributions made by NU
and its subsidiaries under long term disability plans and policies.

     Each of the executive officers of NU named in the Summary Compensation
Table is currently eligible for a target benefit, except Messrs. Morris and
Kenyon, whose Employment Agreements provide specially calculated retirement
benefits, based on their previous arrangements with CMS Energy/Consumers
Energy Company (CMS Energy) and South Carolina Electric and Gas, respectively.
Mr. Morris's agreement provides that upon retirement after reaching the fifth
anniversary of his employment date (or upon disability or termination without
cause or following a change in control, as defined) he will be entitled to
receive a special retirement benefit calculated by applying the benefit formula
of the CMS Energy Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan to all compensation
earned from the NU system and to all service rendered to the Company and CMS
Energy.  If Mr. Kenyon retires with at least three years of service with the
Company, he will be deemed to have 2 extra years of service for purpose of
his special retirement benefit.  If after achieving three years of service he
voluntarily terminates employment following a "substantial change in
responsibilities resulting from a material change in the business of Northeast
Utilities", he will be deemed to have an additional year of service for purpose
of his special retirement benefit, and if he retires with at least 3 years of
service with the Company, he will receive a lump sum payment of $500,000.

     In addition, Mr. Forsgren's Employment Agreement provides for supplemental
pension benefits based on crediting up to 10 years additional service and
providing payments equal to 25 percent of salary for up to 15 years following
retirement, reduced by four percentage points for each year that his age is
less than 65 years at retirement.

     As of December 31, 2000, the executive officers named in the Summary
Compensation Table had the following years of credited service for purposes
of calculating target benefits under the Supplemental Plan (or in the case of
Messrs. Morris and Kenyon, for purposes of calculating the special retirement
benefits under their respective Employment Agreements):  Mr. Morris - 22, Mr.
Kenyon - 6, Mr. Forsgren - 4, Mr. MacKenzie - 35, Mrs. Grise - 20, and Mr.
Feigenbaum - 15.  In addition, Mr. Forsgren had 9 years of service for purposes
of his supplemental pension benefit and would have 25 years of service for such
purpose if he were to retire at age 65.  Assuming that retirement were to occur
at age 65 for these officers, retirement would occur with 33, 13, 15, 47, 36
and 29 years of credited service, respectively.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT ARRANGEMENTS

     NUSCO has entered into employment agreements (the Officer Agreements)
with each of the named executive officers.  The Officer Agreements are also
binding on NU and on each majority-owned subsidiary of NU.

     Each Officer Agreement obligates the officer to perform such duties as
may be directed by the NUSCO Board of Directors or the NU Board of Trustees,
protect the Company's confidential information, and refrain, while employed
by the Company and for a period of time thereafter, from competing with the
Company in a specified geographic area.  Each Officer Agreement provides that
the officer's base salary will not be reduced below certain levels without
the consent of the officer, and that the officer will participate in
specified benefits under the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan or other
supplemental retirement programs (see Pension Benefits, above) and/or in
certain executive incentive programs at specified incentive opportunity
levels.

     Each Officer Agreement provides for a specified employment term and for
automatic one-year extensions of the employment term unless at least six
months' notice of non-renewal is given by either party.  The employment term
may also be ended by the Company for "cause", as defined, at any time (in
which case no supplemental retirement benefit, if any, shall be due), or by
the officer on thirty days' prior written notice for any reason.  Absent
"cause", the Company may remove the officer from his or her position on 60
days' prior written notice, but in the event the officer is so removed and
signs a release of all claims against the Company, the officer will receive
one or two years' base salary and annual incentive payments, specified
employee welfare and pension benefits, and vesting of stock appreciation
rights, options and restricted stock.

     Under the terms of an Officer Agreement, upon any termination of
employment following a change of control, as defined, between (a) the earlier
of the date shareholders approve a change of control transaction or a change
of control transaction occurs and (b) the earlier of the date, if any, on
which the Board of Trustees abandons the transaction or the date 2 years
following the change of control, if the officer signs a release of all claims
against the Company, the officer will be entitled to certain payments
including a multiple (not to exceed four) of annual base salary, annual
incentive payments, specified employee welfare and pension benefits, and
vesting of stock appreciation rights, options and restricted stock.  Certain
of the change in control provisions may be modified by the Board of Trustees
prior to a change in control, on at least two years' notice to the affected
officer(s).

     Besides the terms described above, the Officer Agreements of Messrs.
Morris, Kenyon and Forsgren provide for a specified salary, cash, restricted
stock and/or stock options upon employment, special incentive programs and/or
special retirement benefits.  See Pension Benefits, above, for further
description of these provisions.

     The descriptions of the various agreements set forth above are for
purpose of disclosure in accordance with the proxy and other disclosure rules
of the SEC and shall not be controlling on any party; the actual terms of the
agreements themselves determine the rights and obligations of the parties.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                       ----------------------------------------


To Northeast Utilities and Subsidiaries:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated
statements of capitalization of Northeast Utilities (a Massachusetts trust)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related
consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders'
equity, cash flows, and income taxes for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2000, included in the 2000 annual report to
shareholders and incorporated by reference in this Form U5S, and have issued
our report thereon dated January 23, 2001 (except with respect to the matters
discussed in Note 15, as to which the date is March 13, 2001).  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 that 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 financial position of Northeast Utilities and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their
operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.
