THE YORK WATER COMPANY

Notes to Interim Financial Statements

(In thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of results for such periods. Because the financial statements cover an interim period, they do not include all disclosures and notes normally provided in annual financial statements, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.

2.	Basic Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 12,648,338 and 11,455,817, respectively.

Basic earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were based on weighted average shares outstanding of 12,611,364 and 11,413,942, respectively.

Since the Company has no common stock equivalents outstanding, there are no diluted earnings per share.

3.	Reclassification

Certain 2009 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income, the statement of common stockholders’ equity, or the statement of cash flow category reporting.

4.	Capital Commitments

The Company has committed a total of approximately $2,749 for upgrades to the water treatment facilities. As of September 30, 2010, $996 remained to be incurred.

Employer Contributions

The Company previously disclosed in its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 that it expected to contribute $1,218 to its pension plans in 2010. The Company now plans to contribute $1,280 to its pension plans in 2010. As of September 30, 2010, contributions of $660 had been made. The Company expects to contribute the remaining $620 during the fourth quarter of 2010.

6.	Interest Rate Swap Agreement

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to effectively convert the Company’s $12,000 variable-rate debt issue to a fixed rate. Interest rate swaps are contracts in which a series of interest rate cash flows are exchanged over a prescribed period. The notional amount on which the interest payments are based ($12,000) is not exchanged. The interest rate swap provides that the Company pays the counterparty a fixed interest rate of 3.16% on the notional amount of $12,000. In exchange, the counterparty pays the Company a variable interest rate based on 59% of LIBOR on the notional amount. The intent is for the variable rate received from the swap counterparty to approximate the variable rate the Company pays to bondholders on its variable rate debt issue, resulting in a fixed rate being paid to the swap counterparty and reducing the Company’s interest rate risk. The Company’s net payment rate on the swap was 3.01% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2.95% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The interest rate swap agreement is classified as a financial derivative used for non-trading activities. The professional standards regarding accounting for derivatives and hedging activities requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the balance sheet. In accordance with the standards, the interest rate swap is recorded on the balance sheet in other deferred credits at fair value (see Note 7).

The Company uses regulatory accounting treatment rather than hedge accounting to defer the unrealized gains and losses on its interest rate swap. Instead of the effective portion being recorded as other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion being recognized in earnings, the entire unrealized swap value is recorded as a regulatory asset. Based on current ratemaking treatment, the Company expects the unrealized gains and losses to be recognized in rates as a component of interest expense as the swap settlements occur. Swap settlements are recorded in the income statement with the hedged item as interest expense. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, $90 was reclassified from regulatory assets to interest expense as a result of swap settlements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, $269 was reclassified from regulatory assets to interest expense as a result of swap settlements. The overall swap result was a loss of $533 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and a loss of $1,428 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The Company expects to reclassify $353 from regulatory assets to interest expense as a result of swap settlements over the next 12 months.

Page 8

The interest rate swap agreement contains provisions that require the Company to maintain a credit rating of at least BBB- with Standard & Poor’s. If the Company’s rating were to fall below this rating, it would be in violation of these provisions, and the counterparty to the derivative could request immediate payment if the derivative was in a liability position. The Company’s interest rate swap was in a liability position as of September 30, 2010. If a violation were triggered on September 30, 2010, the Company would have been required to pay the counterparty approximately $2,397. The Company’s current credit rating with Standard & Poor’s is in compliance with this requirement.

The interest rate swap will expire on October 1, 2029. Other than the interest rate swap, the Company has no other derivative instruments.

7.	Fair Value Measurements

The professional standards regarding fair value measurements establish a fair value hierarchy which indicates the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Level 1 inputs include quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates, commodity rates and yield curves. Level 3 inputs are not observable in the market and include management’s own judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company has recorded its interest rate swap liability at fair value in accordance with the standards. The liability is recorded under the caption “Other deferred credits” on the balance sheet. The table below illustrates the fair value of the interest rate swap as of the end of the reporting period.

		Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description	September 30, 2010	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Interest Rate Swap	$2,138	$2,138

Fair values are measured as the present value of all expected future cash flows based on the LIBOR-based swap yield curve as of the date of the valuation. These inputs to this calculation are deemed to be Level 2 inputs. The balance sheet carrying value reflects the Company’s credit quality as of September 30, 2010. The rate used in discounting all prospective cash flows anticipated to be made under this swap reflects a representation of the yield to maturity for 30-year debt on utilities rated A- as of September 30, 2010. The use of the Company’s credit quality resulted in a reduction in the swap liability of $259 as of September 30, 2010. The fair value of the swap reflecting the Company’s credit quality as of December 31, 2009 is shown in the table below.

		Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
Description	December 31, 2009	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Interest Rate Swap	$979	$979

The carrying amount of current assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments approximates fair value as of the dates presented. The Company's long-term debt (including current maturities), with a carrying value of $78,230 at September 30, 2010, and $77,568 at December 31, 2009, had an estimated fair value of approximately $93,000 and $91,000, respectively. The estimated fair value of debt was calculated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration and risk profile. The Company recognized its credit rating in determining the yield curve, and did not factor in third party credit enhancements including bond insurance on the 2004 PEDFA Series A and 2006 Industrial Development Authority issues, and the letter of credit on the 2008 PEDFA Series A issue.

Customers' advances for construction and notes receivable have carrying values at September 30, 2010 of $15,974 and $441, respectively. At December 31, 2009, customers’ advances for construction and notes receivable had carrying values of $16,188 and $476, respectively. The relative fair values of these amounts cannot be accurately estimated since the timing of future payment streams is dependent upon several factors, including new customer connections, customer consumption levels and future rate increases.

The 3.75% Industrial Development Authority Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1995, had a mandatory tender date of June 1, 2010. The Company retired the $4,300 obligation using funds available under its lines of credit.

In May 2010, the Company renewed the $13,000 committed portion of one of its lines of credit and extended the revolving 2-year maturity date to May 2012.

In May 2010, the Company renewed its $11,000 committed line of credit and extended the maturity date to May 2012. Borrowings outstanding under the line of credit were shown as a component of short-term borrowings during the first quarter. During the second quarter, the balances were reclassified to long-term debt because the maturity date is now more than one year away. The corresponding compensating balance of $500 (see Note 10) was also reclassified from current assets to long-term assets due to the extended maturity date.

9.	Rate Matters

From time to time, the Company files applications for rate increases with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, or PPUC, and is granted rate relief as a result of such requests. The most recent rate request was filed by the Company on May 14, 2010 and sought an increase of $6,220, which would have represented a 15.9% increase in rates. Effective November 4, 2010, the PPUC authorized an increase in rates designed to produce approximately $3,400 in additional annual revenues. The Company does not expect to file a base rate increase request in 2011.

Page 10

10.	Compensating Balance Requirement

The Company is required to maintain a demand deposit account with an average monthly balance of $500 in order to retain one of its committed lines of credit. The use of the funds in the account in excess of the $500 is not restricted in any way.

11.	Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a proposed roadmap regarding the potential use by U.S. issuers of financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In February 2010, the SEC expressed support for a single set of high-quality globally accepted accounting standards and established a work plan that sets forth specific areas and factors before transitioning to IFRS. The SEC will make a determination in 2011 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS with the expectation that any decision to adopt IFRS would allow issuers four to five years to prepare for a transition. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on its financial statements, and it will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

12.	Subsequent Events

On October 8, 2010, the Company issued $15,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Monthly Senior Notes Series 2010A due October 1, 2040 (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of an indenture, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, each dated as of October 1, 2010, between the Company and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as trustee. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% payable monthly with a maturity date of October 1, 2040. The Senior Notes are direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The indenture contains various covenants and restrictions. The Company believes it is currently in compliance with all of these restrictions. The Company received net proceeds, after deducting issuance costs, of approximately $14,300. The net proceeds were used to pay off the Company’s line of credit borrowings incurred for capital expenditures and acquisitions, to retire maturing long-term debt issues, and for general corporate purposes. The Senior Notes are subject to redemption at the direction of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2015.

General Information

The business of the Company is to impound, purify to meet or exceed safe drinking water standards and distribute water. The Company operates within its franchised territory, which covers 39 municipalities within York County, Pennsylvania and seven municipalities within Adams County, Pennsylvania. The Company is regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, or PPUC, in the areas of billing, payment procedures, dispute processing, terminations, service territory, debt and equity financing and rate setting. The Company must obtain PPUC approval before changing any practices associated with the aforementioned areas. Water service is supplied through the Company's own distribution system. The Company obtains its water supply from both the South Branch and East Branch of the Codorus Creek, which together have an average daily flow of 73.0 million gallons per day. This combined watershed area is approximately 117 square miles. The Company has two reservoirs, Lake Williams and Lake Redman, which together hold up to approximately 2.2 billion gallons of water. The Company has a 15-mile pipeline from the Susquehanna River to Lake Redman which provides access to an additional supply of 12.0 million gallons of untreated water per day. As of September 30, 2010, the Company's average daily availability was 35.0 million gallons, and daily consumption was approximately 19.2 million gallons. The Company's service territory had an estimated population of 180,000 as of December 31, 2009. Industry within the Company's service territory is diversified, manufacturing such items as fixtures and furniture, electrical machinery, food products, paper, ordnance units, textile products, air conditioning systems, laundry detergent, barbells and motorcycles.

The Company's business is somewhat dependent on weather conditions, particularly the amount of rainfall. Revenues are particularly vulnerable to weather conditions in the summer months. Prolonged periods of hot and dry weather generally cause increased water usage for watering lawns, washing cars, and keeping golf courses and sports fields irrigated. Conversely, prolonged periods of dry weather could lead to drought restrictions from governmental authorities. Despite the Company’s adequate water supply, customers may be required to cut back water usage under such drought restrictions which would negatively impact our revenues. The Company has addressed some of this vulnerability by instituting minimum customer charges which are intended to cover fixed costs of operations under all likely weather conditions. On September 16, 2010, state officials issued a drought warning for 24 Pennsylvania counties and a drought watch for the remaining 43 counties. The Company's service territory, including York and Adams Counties, are included in the watch. The watch calls for a voluntary reduction in water use of 5 percent. The watch could potentially impact fourth quarter revenues and net income depending on the length and severity of the dry conditions; however, usage typically declines during the fourth quarter under normal conditions, so the impact is not expected to be material. Despite reduced consumption during the first quarter of 2010, increased consumption in the second and third quarters have helped to bring per capita consumption for the year-to-date period to 0.9% more than the same period last year.

The Company’s business does not require large amounts of working capital and is not dependent on any single customer or a very few customers for a material portion of its business. Increases in revenues are generally dependent on the Company’s ability to obtain rate increases from the PPUC in a timely manner and in adequate amounts and to increase volumes of water sold through increased consumption and increases in the number of customers served. The Company continuously looks for acquisition and expansion opportunities both within and outside its current service territory. The Company also looks for additional opportunities to enter into bulk water contracts with municipalities and other entities to supply water.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared

With Three Months Ended September 30, 2009

Net income for the third quarter of 2010 was $2,670, an increase of $579, or 27.7%, from net income of $2,091 for the same period of 2009. The primary contributing factors to the increase were higher water revenues and reduced expenses for employee retirement, interest, filter plant and distribution system maintenance, and rate case.

Page 13

Water operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased $737, or 7.6%, from $9,750 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $10,487 for the corresponding 2010 period. The primary reasons for the increase in revenues were an increased distribution surcharge (DSIC) and an increase in per capita consumption. The DSIC allows the Company to add a charge to customers’ bills for qualified replacement costs of certain infrastructure without submitting a rate filing. The total per capita volume of water sold in the third quarter of 2010 increased compared to the corresponding 2009 period by approximately 3.6%. The increase is attributed to, among other things, a change in rainfall patterns and increased industrial consumption. The average number of customers served in the third quarter of 2010 increased as compared to the same period of 2009 by 562 customers, from 61,984 to 62,546 customers.

Operating expenses for the third quarter of 2010 decreased $31, or 0.6%, from $4,914 for the third quarter of 2009 to $4,883 for the corresponding 2010 period. The decrease was primarily due to reduced filter plant and distribution system maintenance expense of approximately $54, lower rate case expense of approximately $47 and reduced pension expense of approximately $42. Higher capitalized overhead and reduced chemical expense aggregating approximately $62 also added to the reduction of expenses. Increased salary and wage expense, higher power costs, increased capital stock tax, higher 401K match and pension administration expense, higher depreciation expense due to increased plant investment, and other expenses aggregating approximately $174 partially offset the decrease.

Interest expense on debt for the third quarter of 2010 decreased $61, or 4.9%, from $1,254 for the third quarter of 2009 to $1,193 for the corresponding 2010 period. The primary reasons for the decrease were lower interest payments of $40 due to retirement of the 3.75% Industrial Development Authority Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1995, in June of 2010 and lower interest of $16 on the Company’s lines of credit due to reduced borrowings. Interest on the $12,000 variable rate bonds decreased $5 due to reduced interest rates. The average interest rate on the lines of credit was 2.33% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to 1.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. The average debt outstanding under the lines of credit was $11,537 for the third quarter of 2010 and $21,758 for the third quarter of 2009.

Allowance for funds used during construction decreased $6, from $35 in the third quarter of 2009 to $29 in the 2010 period, due to a planned lower volume of eligible construction.

Other expenses, net for the third quarter of 2010 decreased by $60 as compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee retirement expense of $74. An increase in other expenses aggregating approximately $14 offset the reduction.

Federal and state income taxes for the third quarter of 2010 increased by $304, or 22.8%, compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to an increase in taxable income. The Company’s effective tax rate was 38.0% in the third quarter of 2010 and 39.0% in the third quarter of 2009. The higher effective tax rate during the third quarter of 2009 was due to additional taxes payable on the deferred compensation plans.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 Compared

With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009

Net income for the first nine months of 2010 was $6,853, an increase of $1,352, or 24.6%, from net income of $5,501 for the same period of 2009. The primary contributing factors to the increase were higher water revenues and reduced expenses for salary and wages, interest and employee retirement. Lower distribution system maintenance expense and higher capitalized overhead added to the reduction of expenses and were partially offset by higher depreciation expense, a reduced allowance for funds used during construction, higher power costs and increased capital stock tax.

Page 14

Water operating revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased $1,517, or 5.5%, from $27,734 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $29,251 for the corresponding 2010 period. The primary reasons for the increase in revenues were an increased DSIC and growth in the customer base. The average number of customers served in the first nine months of 2010 increased as compared to the same period of 2009 by 646 customers, from 61,806 to 62,452 customers. For the remainder of the year, the Company expects revenues to remain consistent with the first nine months as the rate increase is expected to be offset by decreased consumption after the higher summer demand. Drought warnings or restrictions as well as regulatory actions and weather patterns could impact results in future quarters, but are not expected to materially impact the fourth quarter of 2010.

Operating expenses for the first nine months of 2010 decreased $372, or 2.5%, from $14,699 for the first nine months of 2009 to $14,327 for the corresponding 2010 period. The decrease was primarily due to lower salary and wage expense of approximately $191. This was mainly a result of the vacation accrual recorded last year as discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. Reduced pension cost, lower distribution system maintenance expense, increased capitalized overhead and other expenses aggregating approximately $477 added to the reduction of expenses. Higher depreciation expense due to increased plant investment, increased power costs and higher capital stock tax aggregating approximately $296 partially offset the decrease. For the remainder of the year, depreciation expense is expected to continue to rise due to investment in plant, and other operating expenses are expected to remain consistent with the first nine months.

Interest expense on debt for the first nine months of 2010 decreased $190, or 5.0%, from $3,787 for the first nine months of 2009 to $3,597 for the corresponding 2010 period. The primary reasons for the decrease were lower interest payments of $90 due to retirement of the 3.60% Industrial Development Authority Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1994, in May of 2009 and the 3.75% Industrial Development Authority Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1995, in June of 2010, lower interest of $53 on the Company’s lines of credit due to reduced borrowings and lower interest of $47 on the $12,000 variable rate bonds due to reduced interest rates. The average interest rate on the lines of credit was 2.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 1.51% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The average debt outstanding under the lines of credit was $9,328 for the first nine months of 2010 and $19,735 for the first nine months of 2009. For the remainder of the year, interest expense is expected to increase due to a higher rate on the new long-term debt issued in October than on the line of credit borrowings it replaced.

Allowance for funds used during construction decreased $119, from $170 in the first nine months of 2009 to $51 in the 2010 period, due to a planned lower volume of eligible construction. Eligible 2009 construction expenditures included a main extension to West Manheim Township.

Other expenses, net for the first nine months of 2010 decreased by $164 as compared to the same period of 2009. The decrease was primarily due to lower employee retirement expense of $173. Other expenses aggregating approximately $9 offset the reduction.

Federal and state income taxes for the first nine months of 2010 increased by $772, or 22.3%, compared to the same period of 2009, primarily due to an increase in taxable income. The Company’s effective tax rate was 38.2% in the first nine months of 2010 and 38.7% in the first nine months of 2009.

Rate Matters

Page 15

Capital Expenditures

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company invested $5,727 in construction expenditures for routine items as well as various replacements of aging infrastructure. The Company was able to fund operating activities and construction expenditures using internally-generated funds, borrowings against the Company’s lines of credit, proceeds from its stock purchase plans, customer advances and the DSIC allowed by the PPUC.

The Company anticipates construction expenditures for the remainder of 2010 of approximately $5,505. In addition to routine transmission and distribution projects, a portion of the anticipated expenditures will be for further upgrades to water treatment facilities and various replacements of aging infrastructure. The Company intends to use internally-generated funds for at least half of the anticipated construction and fund the remainder through our long-term debt offering completed in October 2010, line of credit borrowings, proceeds from our stock purchase plans, the DSIC and customer advances and contributions. Customer advances and contributions are expected to account for a minimal amount of the funding requirements in 2010. We believe we have adequate funding from the proceeds of our long-term debt offering and the availability under our lines of credit to meet our capital needs well into 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash

Although the Company is able to generate funds internally through customer bill payments, we have not historically maintained cash on the balance sheet. The Company manages its cash through a cash management account that is directly connected to a line of credit. Excess cash generated automatically pays down outstanding borrowings under the line of credit arrangement. If there are no outstanding borrowings, the cash is automatically invested in an interest-bearing account overnight. Likewise, if additional funds are needed, in addition to what is generated internally, for payroll, to pay suppliers, or to pay debt service, funds are automatically borrowed under the line of credit. The cash management facility has historically provided the necessary liquidity and funding for our operations and we expect that to continue to be the case for the foreseeable future.

Funds from Operations

The amount of internally-generated funds available for operations and construction depends on our ability to obtain timely and adequate rate relief, our customers’ water usage, weather conditions, customer growth and controlled expenses. In the first nine months of 2010, we generated $10,619 internally as compared to $12,679 in the first nine months of 2009. An increase in income taxes paid reduced cash flow from operating activities. In addition to internally-generated funds, we used our bank lines of credit to help fund operations and construction.

Credit Lines

Historically, the Company has borrowed $15,000 to $20,000 under its lines of credit before refinancing with long-term debt or equity capital. As of September 30, 2010, the Company maintained unsecured lines of credit aggregating $33,000 with three banks. One line of credit includes a $4,000 portion which is payable upon demand and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%, and a $13,000 committed portion with a revolving 2-year maturity (currently May 2012), which currently carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%. The Company had $2,047 in outstanding borrowings under the committed portion and no on-demand borrowings under this line of credit as of September 30, 2010. The second line of credit, in the amount of $11,000, is a committed line of credit, which matures in May 2012 and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%. This line of credit has a compensating balance requirement of $500 (see Note 10 to the financial statements). The Company had $6,000 in outstanding borrowings under this line of credit as of September 30, 2010. The third line of credit, in the amount of $5,000, is a committed line of credit, which matures in June 2011 and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%. The Company had $3,000 in outstanding borrowings under this line of credit as of September 30, 2010. The weighted average interest rate on line of credit borrowings as of September 30, 2010 was 2.24% compared to 1.47% as of September 30, 2009.

Page 16

The credit and liquidity crisis which began in 2008 has caused substantial volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets and in the banking industry resulting in increased borrowing costs and reduced credit availability. While actual interest rates are currently low, one of our banks increased the interest rate on our line of credit from LIBOR plus 70 basis points to LIBOR plus 200 basis points in 2009. The higher interest rate remains in effect for 2010. One of the lines of credit also carries a commitment fee. Although we have taken steps to manage the risk of reduced credit availability such as maintaining primarily committed lines of credit that cannot be called on demand and obtaining a 2-year revolving maturity, there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain sufficient lines of credit with favorable terms in the future. In addition, if the Company is unable to refinance its line of credit borrowings with long-term debt or equity when necessary, we may have to eliminate or postpone capital expenditures. The Company was able to pay off its line of credit borrowings by issuing long-term debt in October 2010. We believe we will have adequate capacity under our current lines of credit to meet our financing needs throughout the remainder of the year and well into 2011.

Long-term Debt

The Company’s loan agreements contain various covenants and restrictions. We believe we were in compliance with all of these restrictions as of September 30, 2010. See Note 4 to the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2009 for additional information regarding these restrictions.

On October 8, 2010, the Company issued $15,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Monthly Senior Notes Series 2010A due October 1, 2040 (the “Senior Notes”) pursuant to the terms of an indenture, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, each dated as of October 1, 2010, between the Company and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as trustee. The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.00% payable monthly with a maturity date of October 1, 2040. The Senior Notes are direct, unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company. The Company received net proceeds, after deducting issuance costs, of approximately $14,300. The net proceeds were used to pay off the Company’s line of credit borrowings incurred for capital expenditures and acquisitions, to retire maturing long-term debt issues, and for general corporate purposes. The Senior Notes are subject to redemption at the direction of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time on or after October 1, 2015.

The Company’s debt (long-term debt plus current portion of long-term debt) as a percentage of the total capitalization, defined as total common stockholders’ equity plus long-term debt (including current portion of long-term debt), was 46.4% as of September 30, 2010, compared with 47.2% as of December 31, 2009. While our debt load has trended upward over the years, we have historically matched increasing debt with increasing equity so that our debt to total capitalization ratio was nearly fifty percent. This capital structure has historically been acceptable to PPUC in that prudent debt costs and a fair return have been granted by the PPUC in rate filings.

The Company has an effective “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), pursuant to which the Company may offer an aggregate remaining amount of up to $25,000 of its common stock or debt securities subject to market conditions at the time of any such offering.

Common Stock

Common stockholders’ equity as a percent of the total capitalization was 53.6% as of September 30, 2010, compared with 52.8% as of December 31, 2009. It is the Company’s intent to maintain a ratio near fifty percent. The 2009 common stock offering improved our ratio substantially. Under the Registration Statement previously mentioned, we have the ability to issue additional shares of our common stock, subject to market conditions at the time of any such offering.

Credit Rating

Our ability to maintain our credit rating depends, among other things, on adequate and timely rate relief, which we have been successful in obtaining, and our ability to fund capital expenditures in a balanced manner using both debt and equity. For the remainder of 2010, our objectives will be to continue to maximize our funds provided by operations and maintain the equity component of total capitalization.

Page 17

Drought

On September 16, 2010, state officials issued a drought warning for 24 Pennsylvania counties and a drought watch for the remaining 43 counties. The Company's service territory, including York and Adams Counties, are included in the watch. The watch calls for a voluntary reduction in water use of 5 percent. The watch could potentially impact fourth quarter revenues and net income depending on the length and severity of the dry conditions; however, usage typically declines during the fourth quarter under normal conditions, so the impact is not expected to be material.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. Our accounting policies require us to make subjective judgments because of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include regulatory assets and liabilities, revenue recognition and accounting for our pension plans. There has been no significant change in our accounting estimates or the method of estimation during the quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not use off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations that may have a material current or future effect on financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenues or expenses. The Company does not use securitization of receivables or unconsolidated entities. The Company uses a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate swap agreement discussed in Note 6 to the financial statements, for risk management purposes. The Company does not engage in trading or other risk management activities, does not use other derivative financial instruments for any purpose, has no lease obligations, no guarantees and does not have material transactions involving related parties.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company does not use off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or obligations that may have a material current or future effect on financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources, or significant components of revenues or expenses. The Company does not use securitization of receivables or unconsolidated entities. The Company uses a derivative financial instrument, an interest rate swap agreement described below, for risk management purposes. The Company does not engage in trading or other risk management activities, does not use other derivative financial instruments for any purpose, has no lease obligations, no guarantees and does not have material transactions involving related parties.

The Company's operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result of changes in interest rates under its lines of credit. The Company has unsecured lines of credit with three banks having a combined maximum availability of $33,000. One line of credit includes a $4,000 portion, which is payable upon demand and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%, and a $13,000 committed portion with a revolving 2-year maturity (currently May 2012), which currently carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%. The Company had $2,047 in outstanding borrowings under the committed portion and no on-demand borrowings under this line of credit as of September 30, 2010. The second line of credit, in the amount of $11,000, is a committed line of credit, which matures in May 2012 and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.50%. This line of credit has a compensating balance requirement of $500 (see Note 10 to the financial statements included herein). The Company had $6,000 in outstanding borrowings under this line of credit as of September 30, 2010. The third line of credit, in the amount of $5,000, is a committed line of credit, which matures in June 2011 and carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.00%. The Company had $3,000 in outstanding borrowings under this line of credit as of September 30, 2010. The weighted average interest rate on line of credit borrowings as of September 30, 2010 was 2.24%. Other than lines of credit, the Company has long-term fixed rate debt obligations as discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements included herein and a variable rate Pennsylvania Economic Development Financing Authority (PEDFA) loan agreement described below.

In May 2008, the PEDFA issued $12,000 aggregate principal amount of PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series A (the “Series A Bonds”). The proceeds of this bond issue were used to refund the $12,000 PEDFA Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series B of 2004 which were refunded due to bond insurer downgrading issues. The PEDFA then loaned the proceeds to the Company pursuant to a variable interest rate loan agreement with a maturity date of October 1, 2029. The interest rate under this loan agreement averaged 0.30% during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 0.28% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In connection with the loan agreement, the Company retained its interest rate swap agreement whereby the Company effectively exchanged its floating rate obligation for a fixed rate obligation. The purpose of the interest rate swap is to manage the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in the interest rate. If the interest rate swap agreement works as intended, the rate received on the swap should approximate the variable rate we pay on the PEDFA Series A Bond Issue, thereby minimizing our risk. See Note 6 to the financial statements included herein for additional information regarding the interest rate swap.

In addition to the interest rate swap agreement, the Company entered into a Reimbursement, Credit and Security Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“the bank”), dated as of May 1, 2008, in order to enhance the marketability of the variable rate bonds and to minimize the interest rate on the bonds. This agreement provides for a three-year direct pay letter of credit issued by the bank to the trustee for the Series A Bonds. The letter of credit expires May 6, 2012 and is reviewed annually for a possible one-year extension. The Company’s responsibility under this agreement is to reimburse the bank on a timely basis for interest payments made to the bondholders and for any tendered bonds that could not be remarketed. The Company has fourteen months from the time bonds are tendered to reimburse the bank. If the direct pay letter of credit is not renewed, the Company would be required to pay the bank immediately for any tendered bonds. In addition, the interest rate swap agreement would terminate causing a potential payment by the Company to the counterparty. Both the letter of credit and the swap agreement can potentially be transferred upon this type of event.
