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.

Other annual compensation for Mr. Morris consists of 1998 and 1999 relocation expense reimbursements. 2. At December 31, 2000, the aggregate restricted stock holdings by the five individuals named in the table for NU, CL&P, WMECO, and PSNH were 31,070 shares with a value of $753,448 and for NAEC were 29,062 shares with a value of $704,754. Awards shown for 1998 have vested. Awards shown for 1999 vest one-third on February 23, 2000, one-third on February 23, 2001, and one-third on February 23, 2002. No restricted stock was awarded in 2000. Dividends paid on restricted stock are either paid out or reinvested into additional shares. 3. "All Other Compensation" for 2000 consists of employer matching contributions under the Northeast Utilities Service Company 401(k) Plan, generally available to all eligible employees ($5,100 for each named officer), and matching contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan for Executives (Mr. Morris - $22,226, Mr. Kenyon - $11,174, Mrs. Grise - $3,695, and Mr. Feigenbaum - $3,098). 4. These options were granted on February 22, 2000, under the Northeast Utilities Incentive Plan. All options granted vest one-third on February 22, 2001, one-third on February 22, 2002, and one-third on February 22, 2003. Valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: Volatility: 26.06 percent (36 months of monthly data); Risk-free rate: 6.55 percent; Dividend yield: 1.82 percent; Exercise date: February 22, 2010. 5. Mr. MacKenzie's unvested stock options vested and became exercisable upon his retirement on January 1, 2001. 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.

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. b.

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. /s/ Arthur Andersen LLP Arthur Andersen LLP Hartford, Connecticut January 23, 2001 SIGNATURE Northeast Utilities, a registered holding company, has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized, pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.
