 INTRODUCTION
 
 
As previously reported, on November 16, 2010, UIL Holdings Corporation (the “Registrant” or “UIL Holdings”) completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) from Iberdrola USA, Inc. (“Iberdrola USA”) of (i) Connecticut Energy Corporation (“CEC”), the parent of The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, (ii) CTG Resources, Inc. (“CTG”), the parent of Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation, and (iii) Berkshire Energy Resources (“Berkshire”), the parent of The Berkshire Gas Company.  The approximately $1.296 billion purchase price less net debt of approximately $331.1 million and a preliminary working capital adjustment of approximately $47.0 million resulted in cash consideration at closing of approximately $917.9 million to Iberdrola USA.&# 160; The Registrant paid this cash consideration from a combination of approximately $501.5 million in net proceeds from the Registrant’s September 2010 issuance of 20,355,000 shares of its common stock and the approximately $442.9 million in net proceeds from the Registrant’s October 2010 issuance of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Notes due 2020.  While the aggregate purchase price was unchanged, the cash consideration paid at closing was greater than the prior estimate of $885 million due to lower actual levels of net debt assumed, partially offset by the preliminary working capital adjustment.  The lower level of debt reflected prior principal payments of $43.8 million on long-term debt and $38.9 million of cash generated by the acquired entities.  The preliminary working capital adjustment resulted primarily from a seasonal decrease of $45.7 million in accounts receivable.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A contains:

·  
historical financial statements of CEC and CTG, in accordance with Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X and the significant subsidiary rules outlined in Regulation S-X; and

·  
pro forma financial information of UIL Holdings, CEC, CTG and Berkshire in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X giving effect to certain pro forma events relating to the Acquisition.

The historical financial statements of CEC and CTG include the results of CNE Energy Services Group, Inc. (CNE Energy) and TEN Companies, Inc. (TEN).  These subsidiaries of CEC and CTG are involved in operations outside the regulatory gas distribution business and are not included in the Acquisition.  The attached pro forma financial information reflects the removal of CNE Energy and TEN.

Note 1. Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements represent the combined financial statements of Connecticut Energy Corporation (CEC) and CTG Resources, Inc. (CTG) after eliminating intercompany transactions under the basis of common control because both companies are owned by Iberdrola USA, Inc. (Iberdrola USA). The financial statements of CEC and CTG consolidate their majority-owned subsidiaries after eliminating intercompany transactions.

We have evaluated events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2010, for inclusion in these financial statements through November 8, 2010, which is the date these financial statements were available to be issued.

On May 25, 2010, UIL Holdings Corporation (UIL) entered into an agreement to purchase CEC and CTG as well as Berkshire Energy Resources. Pursuant to the agreement, UIL will obtain the natural gas distribution utilities owned by CEC and CTG, which are The Southern Connecticut Gas Company (SCG) and Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation (CNG). Iberdrola USA, Inc. will retain its nonutility subsidiaries, CNE Energy Services Group, Inc. (CNE Energy) and TEN Companies, Inc. (TEN), at the time of the transaction. The purchase is subject to various state and federal approvals. On October 27, 2010, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control issued a draft decision approving the sale. A final decision is expected on November 10, 2010. We expect the sale to be completed in November 2010.

The accompanying unaudited condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the combined annual financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Due to the seasonal nature of our operations, financial results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends for a 12-month period.

Bridgeport pipeline contract impairment: In 1998 CNE Energy, a subsidiary of CEC, provided the funds for the construction of an 11.5 mile long pipeline in Bridgeport, Connecticut, which is subject to a 20 year gas transmission agreement (Agreement) with an unrelated entity. CNE Energy recorded the $12.8 million total cost of construction of the pipeline as an intangible asset (contract interest) on its balance sheet, which it then began to amortize over the 20-year life of the project. SCG constructed the pipeline and has owned and operated it since its completion. In addition to funding the pipeline construction costs, CNE Energy has paid all operating and maintenance c osts related to the pipeline project. As a result of Energy East Corporation’s acquisition of SCG and CNE Energy in February 2000, the value of the investment in the pipeline was assessed and CNE Energy recorded an intangible asset of $2.4 million. CNE Energy has been amortizing the valuation adjustment over the remaining term of the Agreement, since February 2000.

In February 1998 the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (DPUC) issued a decision concerning the allocation of revenues during the first 10 years of the Agreement, allocating a portion to SCG for the benefit of its ratepayers with the remaining portion retained by CNE Energy. The original DPUC decision required SCG to petition the DPUC by July 1, 2008, for an

adjustment to the allocation of revenues for the second 10 years of the Agreement. The DPUC issued a decision on April 1, 2009, reducing the annual revenue allocation to CNE Energy for the remaining term of the Agreement. Based on its estimate of undiscounted cash flows for the remaining years, CNE Energy determined that the combined $7.1 million carrying amount of the contract interest and valuation adjustment was not recoverable, and impaired the entire net carrying amount.  In addition, because substantially all of its economic activity is derived from the Bridgeport contract, CNE Energy also impaired $0.2 million of net goodwill in 2009. The combined pretax impairments totaling approximately $7.3 million are included in depreciation and amortization on the statement of operations. The total after-tax effect of the impairment s is approximately $4.7 million.

Liquidating dividends: During 2010 CEC has declared and paid liquidating dividends to Iberdrola USA as follows: $18 million declared in March and paid in April, $18 million declared and paid in June, and $29.55 million declared and paid in September. CEC also declared and paid liquidating dividends of $37.3 million in 2009. The liquidating dividends are being paid to flow the tax benefits of CNE Energy’s investment in wind farms to Iberdrola USA.

Note 3. Goodwill

Iberdrola USA’s decision to sell its northeastern natural gas companies, including SCG and CNG, allows it to increase its focus on its electricity business and provides it with a funding source for its announced electric transmission investments. The sale agreement represented a triggering event and we performed an impairment assessment of the goodwill for SCG and CNG in accordance with the accounting standards concerning goodwill and other intangibles. We determined that the carrying value of the combined companies exceeded the purchase price agreed to by UIL for CNG and SCG, resulting in a goodwill impairment of $250 million.

Income taxes were $9.6 million lower for the three months ended September 30, 2010, than they would have been at the federal statutory rate of 35%, and $6.6 million lower for the three months ended September 30, 2009. Income taxes were $68.3 million higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and $9.5 million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, than they would have been at the federal statutory rate of 35%. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to the recording of a goodwill impairment due to the expected sale of CNG and SCG. The goodwill impairment does not result in a corresponding tax benefit because there is no tax basis in the goodwill. CEC and CTG were acquired in 2000 in a nontaxable transaction resulting in the tax basis b eing carried over versus there being a step-up in tax basis. The effect of production tax credits generated as a result of our investment in wind farms reduced income

taxes for all of the above presented periods. In addition, we recorded adjustments for our 2009 tax return in September 2010 and for our 2008 tax return in September 2009.

Elimination of tax deduction related to Medicare Part D Subsidy: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4872) were signed into U.S. law in late March 2010. SCG and CNG receive a federal subsidy because we sponsor retiree health benefit plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to the benefits under Medicare Part D. The subsidy is known as the Retiree Drug Subsidy (RDS or the subsidy). The RDS payments we receive are not currently taxed. A provision in the PPACA changes the tax treatment of the RDS, requiring the amount of the subsidy received to be offset against the amount of retiree health care payments that would be eligible for a tax deduction. As a result, the subsidy received would reduce an employer’s tax deduction for the costs of retiree health care. Our subsidy receipts will effectively become taxable in tax years that begin after December 31, 2012.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP concerning accounting for income taxes, a reporting entity is required to immediately recognize the effect of a change in tax law in continuing operations in the income statement in the period that includes the enactment date. We were required to record the effect of the change related to the RDS in the quarter ended March 31, 2010, due to the fact that we accounted for the future tax benefit on an accrual basis. In accounting for the effect of the change for U.S. GAAP reporting, an employer that captured the tax benefit of future subsidies on an accrual basis would now be required to reduce the accumulated deferred tax asset on its balance sheet related to the accrued estimated deductible retiree health care payments to reflect the fact that the future deduction will now be reduced by the collection of t he accrued subsidy. Companies such as CNG and SCG that meet the requirements concerning accounting for regulated operations offset that decrease with the establishment of a regulatory asset. As a result, we recorded a regulatory asset for unfunded future income taxes of approximately $1.6 million and reduced our deferred income tax asset related to the costs of retiree health care by approximately $1.0 million. In addition, since the recognition of the unfunded future income tax regulatory asset is considered a temporary difference, we recognized an associated deferred income tax liability of approximately $0.6 million. There is no immediate effect on the income statement under this accounting, only our balance sheet is affected.

Note 5. New Accounting Standards

New accounting standard adopted: We have adopted a new accounting standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) as explained below.

Disclosures about fair value measurements: In January 2010 the FASB issued amendments to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. New disclosures that are or will be required include: 1) details of transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy, and 2) gross presentation of roll forward activity within Level 3 – separate presentation of information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. Entities will also have to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques for both recurring and nonrecurring Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual repo rting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except that the disclosures about Level 3 roll forward activity are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Our adoption of the amendments effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2010, did

not affect our results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Our adoption of the amendments concerning Level 3 roll forward activity effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, and interim periods within those fiscal years, will not affect our results of operation, financial position or cash flows.

Note 6. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable include unbilled revenues of $16.8 million at September 30, 2010, and $41 million at December 31, 2009, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2010 of $9.1 million and $7.4 million at December 31, 2009. Accounts receivable do not bear interest, although late fees may be assessed.

In July 2010 we recorded an adjustment of $2.3 million to our bad debt allowance, resulting in an increase in Other operating expenses for the third quarter. The adjustment is a change in estimate as a result of no longer factoring in customer security deposits when we determine the amount of the allowance. We recorded the change in estimate prior to the issuance of our combined financial statements for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, but made no adjustments to those financial statements. The adjustment is not material to our combined statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

primarily consist of money market funds, but also include some fixed income and equity investments.

Fleet fuel derivatives are included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the fact that a proprietary calculation (unobservable to the market) is used to arrive at the valuation.

The fair value of fleet fuel derivative contracts is determined by comparing the initial cost of the derivative contracts to the exchange-based settlement price as described in New York
Mercantile Exchange Rulebook Chapter 6 Section 6.51(a) adjusted by a calculated rolling three-year locational basis derived from actual company purchases of fleet fuel within a particular fleet fueling location.

Note 8. Regulatory Proceedings

CNG overearnings and rate filing: In June 2008 CNG filed its monthly financial report with the DPUC showing that it exceeded its allowed return on equity (ROE) by more than 100 basis points for the sixth consecutive monthly period. As a result, the DPUC initiated an overearnings investigation. In August 2008 the DPUC issued a decision ordering CNG to implement a rate decrease of $15 million effective August 6, 2008, and the filing of a rate case by January 1, 2009.

In January 2009 CNG filed an application for a delivery rate increase of $16.2 million or approximately 4.4% over the revenues produced from its existing rate schedules. The DPUC issued CNG’s rate order on July 23, 2009, requiring a rate reduction of 4.2% effective July 31, 2009. CNG appealed the order and the application of new tariffs prescribed by the rate order was temporarily suspended by the court. On January 6, 2010, the Connecticut Superior Court entered a ruling against CNG’s appeal. On January 21, 2010, CNG filed for a continuation of the temporary stay while it pursues an appeal of that decision. On May 28, 2010, CNG appealed the decision to the Connecticut Supreme Court. Oral argument is expected to be presented in the fourth quarter of 2010 with a decision on the appeal not expected until the f irst quarter of 2011.

SCG overearnings and rate filing: In July 2008 SCG filed its monthly financial report with the DPUC showing that it exceeded its allowed ROE by more than 100 basis points for the sixth consecutive monthly period. As a result, the DPUC initiated an overearnings investigation. In October 2008 the DPUC issued a decision ordering SCG to implement a rate decrease of $15 million effective October 24, 2008, and to file pro forma adjustments for the purpose of a surcharge for the period beginning October 24, 2008, through June 30, 2009.

In January 2009 SCG filed an application for a delivery rate increase of $50.1 million or approximately 15.2% over the revenues produced from its existing rate schedules. The DPUC issued SCG’s rate order on July 2, 2009, requiring a rate reduction of 3.2% effective August 19, 2009. SCG appealed the order and the application of new tariffs prescribed by the rate order was temporarily suspended by the Court until it makes a final decision on the appeal. On December 17, 2009, the Court issued an order requiring the DPUC to provide its reasoning for several findings in its decision within 90 days. On April 1, 2010, the Connecticut Superior Court entered a ruling against SCG’s appeal. On April 16, 2010, SCG filed for a continuation of the temporary stay while it pursues an appeal of that decision. On May 28, 201 0, SCG appealed the decision to the Connecticut Supreme Court. Oral argument is expected to be presented in the fourth quarter of 2010 with a decision on the appeal not expected until the first quarter of 2011.

UIL HOLDINGS CORPORATION
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(UNAUDITED)

On November 16, 2010, UIL Holdings Corporation (the “Registrant” or “UIL Holdings”) completed its acquisition (the “Acquisition”) from Iberdrola USA, Inc. (“Iberdrola USA”) of (i) Connecticut Energy Corporation (“CEC”), the parent of The Southern Connecticut Gas Company, (ii) CTG Resources, Inc. (“CTG”), the parent of Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation, and (iii) Berkshire Energy Resources (“Berkshire”), the parent of The Berkshire Gas Company.  The approximately $1.296 billion purchase price less net debt of approximately $331.1 million and a preliminary working capital adjustment of approximately $47.0 million resulted in cash consideration at closing of approximately $917.9 million to Iberdrola USA.  The Registrant paid this cash consideration from a combination of approximately $501.5 million in net proceeds from the Registrant’s September 2010 issuance of 20,355,000 shares of its common stock and the approximately $442.9 million in net proceeds from the Registrant’s October 2010 issuance of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% Notes due 2020..  While the aggregate purchase price was unchanged, the cash consideration paid at closing was greater than the prior estimate of $885 million due to lower actual levels of net debt assumed, partially offset by the preliminary working capital adjustment.  The lower level of debt reflected prior principal payments of $43.8 million on long-term debt and $38.9 million of cash generated by the acquired entities.  The preliminary working capital adjustment resulted primarily from a seasonal decrease of $45.7 million in accounts receivable.  The financial indebtedness and preliminary working capital adjustments hav e been included in these pro forma financial statements based on the condensed combined financial statements of CEC and CTG as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (unaudited), however they remain subject to further adjustment.

The Acquisition will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting and the regulations of the SEC.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements (pro forma financial statements) have been derived from:

·  
the consolidated financial statements of UIL Holdings as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in UIL Holdings’ Form 10-K for the fiscal year then ended;

·  
the consolidated financial statements of UIL Holdings as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (unaudited) included in UIL Holdings’ Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010;

·  
the combined financial statements of CEC and CTG as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009;

·  
the condensed combined financial statements of CEC and CTG as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (unaudited);

·  
the financial statements of Berkshire as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009; and

·  
the financial statements of Berkshire as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (unaudited).

 
 

 

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income (pro forma statements of income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009 give effect to the Acquisition as if it were completed on January 1, 2009. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet (pro forma balance sheet) as of September 30, 2010 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it were completed on September 30, 2010.  These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the pro forma financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are: (1) directly attributable to the Acquisition; (2) factually supportable; and (3) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results of UIL Holdings and CEC, CTG and Berkshire.

The pro forma financial statements do not reflect any cost savings (or associated costs to achieve such savings) from operating efficiencies or restructuring that could result from the Acquisition.

The pro forma statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended December 31, 2009 include certain nonrecurring charges.  The pro forma statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes an after-tax goodwill impairment charge of $271.2 million, and certain nonrecurring offsets to expenses totaling $2 million after-tax.  The pro forma statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2009 includes nonrecurring expenses totaling $12 million after-tax.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes, which should be read in connection with the pro forma financial statements. The final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.  These estimates are subject to change pending further review of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

The pro forma financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations and financial position that would have been achieved had the pro forma events taken place on the dates indicated, or the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the combined company.  The pro forma results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 do not necessarily represent 75% of the ultimate result for the full year 2010.  For example, electric and gas revenues vary by season, with the highest revenues typically in the third quarter for electric revenues and in the first quarter for gas revenues.
