To @ur Shareholders e are pleased to report to you that COM/ Energy achieved our May 1997 record financial results for 1996. In this annual report we dividend Is the 200th will be explaining the details of those results in a question and consecutive quarterly dividend paid without a decrease, a record raised by shareholders and the investment community. of accomplishment stretching 50 years, What are the highlights of COM/ Energy's 1996 tearting lust after the financialperformance? cnd of World War II. In 1996: 1 COM/ Energy reached record year-end earnings of $2.70 per share. This is an increase of 14.4% over the $2.36 per share achieved in 1995, and marked the fifth consecutive year that earnings per common share increased. Return on common equity was 14.4%, compared to 13.3% last year, and ranks among the highest in the industry. M Value Une Peer Group Cash flow increased from $5.33 per share in 1995 to $5.78 pt ti tg gS 2 3 2 sl per share in 1996. This new mark exceeds the common dividend rate by nearly four times. COM/ Energy's market price closed 1996 at $23%, an increase of 5% over last year's close of $22%. This price appreciation coupled with the $1.53 paid in dividends during the year provided a total shareholder return of about 12% for the year. This compares very favorably to the weighted average of 1.5% achieved by our peer group of 91 electric utilities followed by Value Line, Inc. COM/ Energy's total return ranked in the top 20% of the peer group for the cumulative U five-year period. Total Return to The common equity component of total capitalization, exclu-

s . l l 1 What is COM: Energy's payment history on common dividends? In March 1996, we increased our annual dividend to $1.54 from
$1.50 per share, achieving a dividend payout ratio of 57%. Since 1990, the dividend has increased three times. Your Board of Trustees will continue, over time, to review the System's financial performance and other factors influencing the rate of dividends paid. Our May 1997 dividend is the 200th consecutive quarterly dividend paid without a decrease, a record of accomplishment stretching 50 years, starting just after the end of World War ll. ,
1 q Why did COM/ Energy split its shares in 1996? After a detailed review of the trading patterns of our shares and an analysis of the motivation behind investor trading decisions, a determination was made to split COM/ Energy shares, two-for-one. Over time, we feel this action will increase trading activity; broaden our shareholder base; improve market liquidity for our shares; put the share price in a range consistent with the rest of the industry; and, generate greater investor interest and a subsequent increase in share price. At the time of the split, COM/ Energy shares were among the highest-priced utility shares in the country. LWliam G. Poist. President and Chief Executive Officer How will COM/ Energy be affected financially by the restructuring of the electric industry? Efforts now underway to restructure the electric industry in Massachusetts could have a significant impact on the way our electric businesses recover their costs. In working with state officials on this issue, we have taken an active and aggressive role ;n making our views known and in helping to define the final plan. At this point (March 1997), we are encouraged by proposals made by the Massachusetts Attorney General, the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, and the Governor of Massachusetts 3
that recognize the rights of utilities to recover 100% of their proven Cespite the fact that " stranded" costs. A more detailed discussion of Massachusetts' j efforts to restructure the electric utility industry is included on page 11 of this annual report. earnings in 1996, j the consolidaticn of O riur utility operations l kl What are COM2nergy's plans for continued gr is an important in addition to our continuing efforts to increase sales, reduce forward looking . operating costs, meet and exceed customer expectations and build a dedicated and creative workforce, we have recently taken action to make the two important actions that we believe will improve our competitive necessary changes position and allow COM/ Energy to generate continued positive ) today that will financial results for many years to come. allow us to First, the System established two new unregulated companies: COM/ Energy Enterprises, Inc. and COM/ Energy Resources, Inc. seize opportunities The former is dedicated to pursuing business opportunities in the tomorrow. emerging unregulated energy-related markets that are now being created as a result of the restructuring of the gas and electric utility J industries and the emergence of new energy-related technologies. Its initial focus is the acquisition, development and/or manage-ment of electric, heating, and cooling systems for individual or groups of institutional, commercial and industrial customers. l COM/ Energy Resources' initial charge is to develop and mar-ket a portfolio of natural gas supplies, including liquefied natural gas from our facility in Hopkinton. Mr. Leonard R. Devanna, vice president for strategic planning e*9 5 n 33g3 gf and new business development, was appointed president and chief operating officer of both companies. Len has held senior management positions with COM/ Energy for the past fifteen years. Additionally, we welcomed Mr. Robert A. Paul, senior vice president for corporate planning, in the first quarter of 1997. Bob joins the COM/ Energy Management Committee and will focus his attention on the development of a strategic vision and plans, as well as alliances for COM/ Energy in the new restructured arena. He comes to COM/ Energy with many years of experience, both in high technology and utility operations. Also in 1996, we finalized our planning for the consolidation of the management of our utility operations. This consolidation, l which was announced in the first quarter of 1997, is eliminating
= = =1= = = duplication and promoting efficiency through the combination of Consolidated certain customer service, administrative, and support functions.
Not income awu wa These important effic:encies, over and above the gains we had 4
f 4 already achieved in controlling costs of our previously stand-alcne utility units, willlead to the elimination of approximately 15% of our 2,000 positions system-wide, creating an estimated 8% ($20 million) reduction in our annual operating costs. Despite the fact that we had record earnings in 1996, the con-solidation of our utility operations is an important forward-looking action to make the necessary changes today that will allow us to seize opportunities tomorrow. We are most hopeful that we can make these changes through attrition and a personnel reduction program to be offered during the second quarter of 1997. And, as a result of these efforts, we are confident that our customers will see only positive changes; safety, reliab::ity, and customer satis-faction will continue to be top prioritier. Both units will continue j to operate under their existing COM/ Gas and COM/ Electric names. jj(( la line with our consolidation efforts, Russell D. Wright, presi-dent and chief operating officer of our electric division since 1993, ,
&ccepted the position of president and chief operating officer of our gas division as well. Russ has been with the system for 27 years, ]4 q ,i q l including five years as our chief financial officer. S j d h [ ]
Efforts to control operating costs are not new to COM/ Energy. h ,
]
Since 1990, the company has reduced its workforce by 23%. , [ h h j The consolidation of our gas and electric units will bring that @ '
@ d total to approximately 37%.
In another important change to our management team, p y d f { {] Mr. John R. Williams, vice president of operations for the electric y '
- M l n h division, has become vice president of corporate services and a Lj h
= a a member of both the System's Management Committee and the amminas Board of Directors of our regulated affiliates. John has served Full time . Employees in a number of senior management positions in our gas, electric, and services companies since 1974. Mr. Kevin F. Roberts suc-l ceeded John as vice president of electric operations.
In closing, we are confident that our experience, skills, prep- l aration and tradition of excellence will enable COM/ Energy to not only weather the storms of industry restructuring but to take advan-tage of a number of emerging opportunities to grow our business. We extend our thanks to you, our shareholders, for your con-fidence and continued support of Commonwealth Energy System. j l l Sincerely, l 1 WW /& William G.

Utility Operations What were the utility operations' financial results for 1996? 1996 was an outstanding year with record net income for both electric and gas operations. Net income was more than $41 million for electric operations and almost $17 million for gas operations. Firm gas sales reached an all-time high and retail electric sales reached near record levels. In addition, earnings were significantly increased through

ourselves for further success in the upcoming years. 3 ,- What are you doing specifically to lower operating costs? l

During thu past several years we have embarked on an aggressive cost-cutting program in our electric, gas and service units. In 1996,
.r we continued on that course by planning the consolidation of man-Russel/ D. Wright. agement and operation functions. This consolidation creates one President and Chiel Operating Otticer management team, and in 1997 we began merging like functions COM Gas and COM Electric and activities to eliminate duplication and create the most efficient and cost-effective operation possible.
This move will cut annual operating expenses by approximately
$20 million and will significantly enhance our position in the energy arena. As Bill Poist noted in his letter to you, we began this consoli-dation in a year of record earnings to improve our competitive posi-tion for the future. I believe this move should be viewed as a state-

What are COM/ Electric and COM' Gas doing to improve service and reliability for their customers? Despite our continued focus on cost containment, we undertook a number of projects to ensure that our service and reliabikty continue to excel.
