CORNING NATURAL GAS HOLDING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

Corning Natural Gas Holding Corporation (“Holding Company”) was incorporated in New York in July 2013 to serve as a holding company for Corning Natural Gas Corporation (“Corning Gas” or the “Gas Company”) and its dormant subsidiary Corning Natural Gas Appliance Corporation (the “Appliance Company”), Pike County Light & Power Company (“Pike”), Leatherstocking Gas Company, LLC (“Leatherstocking Gas”), and Leatherstocking Pipeline Company, LLC (“Leatherstocking Pipeline”). Until December 31, 2021, the Holding Company also owned 50% of Leatherstocking Gas of New York, Inc. (“Leatherstocking NY”). As used in this document, the term “the Company” refers to the consolidated operations of the Holding Company, Gas Company, Pike, and Leatherstocking Gas and Leatherstocking Pipeline.

The Holding Company’s primary business, through its subsidiaries, is natural gas and electric distribution. Corning Gas serves approximately 15,000 residential, commercial, industrial and municipal customers in the Corning, Hammondsport and Virgil, New York, areas and two other gas utilities which serve the Elmira and Bath, New York, areas. It is franchised to supply gas service in all of the political subdivisions in which it operates. The Gas Company is under the jurisdiction of the New York Public Service Commission (“NYPSC”) which oversees and sets rates for New York gas distribution companies. In addition, the Gas Company has contracts with Corning Incorporated and Woodhull Municipal Gas Company, a small local utility, to provide maintenance service on their gas lines. Pike is an electric and gas utility regulated by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (“PAPUC”). Pike provides electric service to approximately 4,900 customers in the Townships of Westfall, Milford, the northern part of Dingman, and in the Boroughs of Milford and Matamoras. Pike provides natural gas service to 1,300 customers in Westfall Township and the Borough of Matamoras. All of these communities are located in Pike County, Pennsylvania. Additionally, Leatherstocking Gas is also regulated by the PAPUC and distributes gas in Susquehanna and Bradford Counties, Pennsylvania. Leatherstocking Pipeline, an unregulated company, ~~has~~previously served one customer in Lawton, Pennsylvania and has had no revenues since 2018.

On January 12, 2021, Holding Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Holding Company, ACP Crotona Corp. (“Parent”), and ACP Crotona Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Holding Company, and Holding Company will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, shareholders of Holding Company will receive consideration for their shares in the following amounts: (i) $24.75 in cash, per share of common stock ~~(the “Merger Consideration”)~~; (ii) $25 per share of Series A preferred stock; (iii) $29.70 per share of Series B preferred stock; and (iv) $25 per share of Series C preferred stock. Amounts payable to all shareholders will include cash for any unpaid dividends. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Argo Infrastructure Partners LP (“Argo”) and were formed by Argo in order to complete the Merger. The Merger is subject to, among other customary closing conditions, the approvals of the NYPSC and the PAPUC. On February 3, the PAPUC approved the Merger. In addition, the Merger requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which occurred at the Company’s annual shareholders meeting in May of 2021, and the expiration of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act. The Merger Agreement also includes certain termination rights for both the Company and Parent and provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, termination fees may be owed by the Company to Parent, depending on the circumstances surrounding a termination.

The Merger ~~Agreement~~is ~~provided~~subject ~~for~~to, aamong ~~45-day~~other ~~“Go~~customary ~~Shop”~~closing ~~period which expired on February 26~~conditions, ~~2021. During~~ the ~~“Go~~approvals ~~Shop”~~of ~~period,~~ the ~~Company~~NYPSC ~~received~~and nothe ~~competing offers or alternative acquisition proposals~~PAPUC.

10The Merger Agreement provided for a 45-day “Go Shop” period which expired on February 26, 2021. During the “Go Shop” period, the Company received no competing offers or alternative acquisition proposals. The Company is now subject to a customary “No Shop” provision that restricts the Company’s ability to solicit acquisition proposals from third parties and to provide non-public information and to negotiate with third parties regarding unsolicited acquisition proposals that is reasonably expected to lead to a superior proposal. On April 30, 2021, the Company and Argo filed with the NYPSC and PAPUC joint petitions requesting approval to conclude the merger. The Merger was voted on and approved by the Company’s shareholders at its annual shareholder meeting on May 27, 2021. On February 3, 2022, the PAPUC approved the Merger. A decision on the Merger from the NYPSC is expected by the end of the Company’s third quarter (See Note 9 - Regulatory Matters).

Table of Contents

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, the Company has suspended its dividend reinvestment plan.

Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the OTCQX and deregistered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable.

The information furnished herewith reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the period. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to ~~SEC~~Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, although the Holding Company believes the disclosures which are made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The consolidated financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Holding Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2021 (“Annual Report”), filed on December 17, 2021. These interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited.

Our significant accounting policies are described in the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Holding Company’s Annual Report. It is important to understand that the application of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America involves certain assumptions, judgments and estimates that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Thus, the application of these principles can have varying results from company to company.

Because our business is highly seasonal in nature, sales for each quarter of the year vary and are not comparable. Sales vary depending on seasonal variations in temperature, although the Gas Company’s weather normalization and revenue decoupling clauses approved by the NYPSC serve to stabilize net revenue, by insulating the Gas Company, to an extent, from the effects of unusual temperature variations and conservation. Certain larger customer classes are not covered by weather normalization or revenue decoupling and weather will impact revenue from these classes. Neither Pike nor Leatherstocking Gas have weather normalization or revenue decoupling clauses.

It is the Holding Company’s policy to reclassify amounts in the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year or period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which provides a model, known as the current expected credit loss model, to estimate the expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets, including trade and other receivables, rather than incurred losses over the remaining life of most financial assets measured at amortized cost. The guidance also requires use of an allowance to record estimated credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on ~~their~~its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on ~~their~~its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Gas Company records revenues from residential and commercial customers based on meters read on a cyclical basis throughout each month, while certain large industrial and utility customers’ meters are read at the end of each month. Several meters are read at the end of each month to calculate local production revenues. The Gas Company does not accrue revenue for gas delivered but not yet billed, as the NYPSC requires that such accounting must be adopted during a rate proceeding, which the Gas Company has not done. The Gas Company, as part of its currently effective rate plan, has a weather normalization clause as protection against severe weather fluctuations. This affects space heating customers and is activated when degree days are 2.2% greater or less than the 30-year average. As a result, the effect on revenue fluctuations of weather related gas sales is somewhat moderated.

Pike recognizes revenues for electric and gas service on a monthly billing cycle basis. Pike does not accrue for gas and electricity delivered. Pike does not have a weather normalization clause as protection against severe weather.

Leatherstocking Gas recognizes revenues for gas service on a monthly billing cycle basis. Leatherstocking Gas does not record unbilled revenues. Leatherstocking Gas does not have a weather normalization clause as protection against severe weather.

In addition to weather normalization, the Gas Company has implemented a revenue decoupling mechanism (RDM). The RDM reconciles actual delivery service revenues to allowed delivery service revenues (which are based on the annual customer and volume forecasts in the last rate case) for residential customers. The Gas Company will refund or surcharge customers for differences between actual and allowed revenues. The shortfall or excess after the annual reconciliation will be surcharged or refunded to customers over a twelve-month period starting September 1st each year. Pike and Leatherstocking Gas do not have a revenue decoupling mechanism as part of their rate structures.

Revenues are recorded as energy is delivered, generated, or services are provided and billed to customers. Amounts billed are recorded in customer accounts receivable, with payment generally due the following month.

Note 5 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Holding Company has determined the fair value of debt and other financial instruments using a valuation hierarchy. The hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value, consists of three levels. Level 1 uses observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 uses inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, which is defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, requires the Holding Company to develop its own assumptions. The carrying amount of debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximates fair value as a result of instruments bearing interest rates that approximate current market rates for similar instruments, and the carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Investment assets, which fund the Holding Company’s deferred compensation plan, are valued based on Level 1 inputs.

Table of Contents

The Holding Company has determined the fair value of certain assets through application of FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.

Fair value of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at ~~December~~March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and September 30, 2021 are as follows:

Basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available for common stock (net income less dividends declared on Series B Preferred Stock) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

293,116 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for Q1 FY 2022 and Q1 FY 2021 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For Q1 FY 2022, the impact of 20,000 stock options outstanding was determined to be 3,738 incremental shares. For Q1 FY 2021, the impact of 10,000 stock options outstanding were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 23

Note 7 – Investment in Joint Venture

The Holding Company had an interest in Leatherstocking Gas and Leatherstocking Pipeline, each of which was a joint venture with Mirabito Regulated Industries, LLC (“Mirabito”), accounted for by the equity method. On July 1, 2020, Leatherstocking Gas distributed to its members franchises, engineering and gas pipeline assets located in New York having a book value of $0.532 million. These assets were then contributed to the equity of Leatherstocking Gas Company of New York, Inc. (“Leatherstocking NY”). The Company owned 50% of the common shares of the newly formed Leatherstocking NY and accounted for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Mirabito had the option to acquire the Company’s interests in Leatherstocking NY, for a purchase price of $100,000, beginning on the earlier of a change in control of the Company, or July 1, 2021, and ending on June 30, 2023. On October 5, 2021, Mirabito notified the Company that it exercised its option to acquire the Company’s interest in Leatherstocking NY, and on December 31, 2021, the Company completed the sale of Leatherstocking NY for the $100,000 option price, plus Mirabito’s share of accounts payable.

Note 9 – Regulatory Matters

~~Holding~~On May 19, 2021, the NYPSC issued a rate order in Case 21-G-0101, establishing rates and a rate plan for the Gas Company for a one-year period ending on January 31,2022 (“Rate Year”). The rate order disallowed the Company’s request for an increase in required revenue of $6,223,603, and instead ordered a reduction of $766,000 from current rates. In the current rate order, the existing $1.3 million tax sur-credit (an adjustment to rates to refund to customers an amount owing them due to income tax rate reductions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) expired, along with a $30,000 reduction to the annual Delivery Rate Adjustment. In addition, the NYPSC denied recovery of the Gas Company’s approximately $350,000 leak repair and survey cost reserve established in FY 2016. The denial of recovery of this reserve resulted in a FY 2021 charge of approximately $180,000 (pre-tax), as the Company had previously established a reserve for this matter in the amount of $170,000 (pre-tax). The net impact on the Gas Company’s customers was an increase of $505,000 for the Rate Year, retroactive to February 1, 2021.

The Holding Company’s primary business, through its subsidiaries Corning Gas, Pike, and Leatherstocking Gas, is regulated by the NYPSC and PAPUC, among other agencies.

On April 30, 2021, the Company and Argo filed with the NYPSC a Verified Joint Petition seeking approval, pursuant to Section 70 of the New York Public Service Law for its merger. This case is pending approval by the Commission and there is no statutory timeline for the NYPSC to decide this matter.

Also on April 30, 2021, the Company and Argo filed with the PAPUC a Joint Application requesting certificates of public convenience from the PAPUC and seeking all other PAPUC approvals necessary for the merger. On December 20, 2021, the administrative law judge assigned to the merger case approved a settlement reached by the Company and all intervenors in this case. The PAPUC approved the merger on February 3, 2022.

Gas Company

On May 19, 2021, the NYPSC issued a rate order in Case 20-G-0101, establishing rates and a rate plan for the Gas Company for a one-year period ending on January 31,2022 (“Rate Year”). The rate order disallowed the Company’s request for an increase in required revenue of $6,223,603, and instead ordered a reduction of $766,000 from current rates. In the current rate order, the existing $1.3 million tax sur-credit (an adjustment to rates to refund to customers an amount owing them due to income tax rate reductions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act) expired, along with a $30,000 reduction to the annual Delivery Rate Adjustment. In addition, the NYPSC denied recovery of the Gas Company’s approximately $350,000 leak repair and survey cost reserve established in FY 2016. The denial of recovery of this reserve resulted in a FY 2021 charge of approximately $180,000 (pre-tax), as the Company had previously established a reserve for this matter in the amount of $170,000 (pre-tax). The net impact on the Gas Company’s customers was an increase of $505,000 for the Rate Year, retroactive to February 1, 2021.

The Gas Company, on July 15, 2021, filed a petition with the State of New York Supreme Court in Albany County pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules to review and set aside the NYPSC May 19, 2021 order that was issued in PSC cases 20-G-0101 and 16-G-0204 involving the Gas Company’s rates for gas service. The Gas Company’s petition claims that the NYPSC’s decision was arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion, affected by errors of law, and in violation of established regulatory procedure. The Gas Company’s petition requests a judgment: (1) annulling and setting aside the Order as arbitrary and capricious and an abuse of discretion, affected by errors of law, in violation of lawful regulatory procedure, and unsupported by substantial evidence in the record, insofar as the Order implements four areas of “austerity” adjustments and denies recovery of leak survey and repair costs; (2) remanding this matter to the NYPSC for further proceedings consistent with the Court’s judgment; and (3) granting such other and further relief as may be just and proper. The resolution of this matter is pending judicial review.

On July 16, 2021, the Gas Company filed a three-year rate plan (Case 20-G-0394) with the NYPSC for rate years ending on June 30, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The rate increases requested for the three- year rate plan (as amended) are $6,555,000, $1,030,000, and $843,000, respectively. In its filing, the Gas Company proposes a rate plan with levelized increases over three years in the amount of $3,761,000 per year. These rates, if implemented, would impact customer bills by 11.14% in each year. The resolution of this matter is under review by the NYPSC.24

InTable ~~March~~ of 2021, the NYPSC issued a “Show Cause” order instructing Corning Gas to show cause why its Paycheck Protection Program loan in the amount of $970,000 should not be refunded to its customers if and when the loan is forgiven. On May 13, 2021, the Gas Company responded to the “Show Cause” order supporting its position that it will use the PPP loan proceeds to fund COVID operating costs, lost commercial revenues, and customer bad debt increases. On May 21, 2021, the Corning Gas PPP loan was forgiven. This matter is pending with the NYPSC. The NYPSC staff has filed testimony on November 12, 2021 in Case 20-G-0394 on how to resolve the issues raised in the NYPSC “Show Cause” order. The Company expects that the issue will be resolved in the pending rate case.Contents

On July 16, 2021, the Gas Company filed a three-year rate plan (Case 21-G-0394) with the NYPSC for rate years ending on June 30, 2023, 2024, and 2025. The rate increases requested for the three-year rate plan (as amended) are $6,555,000, $1,030,000, and $843,000, respectively. In its filing, the Gas Company proposes a rate plan with levelized increases over three years in the amount of $3,761,000 per year. These rates, if implemented, would impact customer bills by 11.14% in each year.

In March of 2021, the NYPSC issued a “Show Cause” order instructing Corning Gas to show cause why its Paycheck Protection Program loan in the amount of $970,000 should not be refunded to its customers if and when the loan is forgiven. On May 13, 2021, the Gas Company responded to the “Show Cause” order supporting its position that it will use the PPP loan proceeds to fund COVID operating costs, lost commercial revenues, and customer bad debt increases. On May 21, 2021, the Corning Gas PPP loan was forgiven. This matter is pending with the NYPSC. The Gas Company and Staff, in its joint proposal to settle its 2021 Rate Case and its Merger Case, propose to resolve this issue by requiring the Company to refund approximately $480,000 of the PPP loan forgiveness to customers over a five-year period starting in the Rate Year beginning on July 1, 2022. If approved by the NYPSC this refund will have no impact on earnings.

By petition dated September 3, 2020 in Case 20-G-0442, Corning Gas requested authority under Public Service Law Section 69 to issue approximately $29.5 million of long term debt through December 31, 2024. The proceeds are to be used principally to fund NYPSC mandated system safety and reliability measures, including replacement of older pipe and regulator stations; and purchase equipment, computer software and other supplies as necessary to maintain the distribution system. The NYPSC issued a financing order in April of 2021 permitting the Gas Company to issue long term debt in the amount of $19.1 million, along with certain reporting requirements.

On March 14, 2022, the Company, Argo, and Staff entered into a Joint Proposal (“Joint Proposal”) which was filed with the NYPSC on that date and subsequently revised and filed on March 17, 2022. In addition, four other parties also participated in the settlement negotiations. Two of the four parties oppose certain Rate Case provisions. If adopted by the NYPSC, the Joint Proposal would resolve all of the issues presented in both Case 21-G-0394 (“Rate Case”), and Case 21-G-0260 (“Merger Case”).

At the core of the Joint Proposal is a comprehensive settlement commencing July 1, 2022 and extending for three consecutive Rate Years (the 12 months ending June 30, 2023, 2024, and 2025). If approved, the Joint Proposal would permit the Company to increase gas revenues by levelized amounts of $1,706,870 for Rate Year 1, $1,798,620 for Rate Year 2, and $1,740,870 for Rate Year 3. These increases equate to revenue increases of 5.5%, 5.5%, and 5.1%, respectively. The rate of return on common equity (“ROE”) endorsed by the Joint Proposal is 9.25%. The Joint Proposal includes an updated Earnings Sharing Mechanism that provides for the Company to retain all earnings up to and including a ROE of 9.75%, and a sharing with customers of earnings in excess of 9.75%.

The Joint Proposal contains several performance targets and requirements to develop new programs, including customer service programs, a Strategic Plan for Decarbonization, and a Low Income Program that uses a three-tiered approach to providing credits based on NYPSC recognition of varying levels of need that correlate with Home Energy Assistance Program (“HEAP”) benefits.

The Joint Proposal recommends that the NYPSC approve the Argo Merger as being in the public interest. Among the most significant features of the Joint Proposal as it pertains to the Merger are the following provisions. The Joint Proposal requires the Company’s Board of Directors to have at least one independent local board member who resides within the Company’s gas service territory or has substantial ties to the service territory. The Company’s headquarters must remain within the gas service territory for a minimum of five years following closing of the Merger. The Company must maintain pre-merger employment levels, and to provide pre-merger employee compensation and benefits for at least 12 months.

The Joint Proposal prohibits the pass-through to customers of goodwill and costs of the transaction. The Joint Proposal further proposes several financial metrics designed to maintain financial integrity of the Company. The Joint Proposal recognizes the substantial quantifiable benefits that the Company’s customers will receive as a result of the Merger. These benefits, in the form of the elimination of certain public company expenses, total approximately $300,000 per year. In addition, the Joint Proposal incorporates a Public Benefit Adjustment (“PBA”) in the amount of $1.2 million. Customers will receive the PBA in the amount of $400,000 in each of the three Rate Years covered by the Rate Case, of which $70,000 will be used to enhance the Company’s Low-Income Program.

The Joint Proposal is currently under review by the Administrative Law Judge assigned to this case, after which it will be referred to the NYPSC for a final determination. The Company expects a decision by the NYPSC in June of 2022.

Also on April 30, 2021, the Company and Argo filed with the PAPUC a Joint Application requesting certificates of public convenience from the PAPUC, and seeking all other PAPUC approvals necessary for the merger. On February 3, 2022, the PAPUC approved the Merger Agreement with Argo and the accompanying Settlement Agreement. In the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed not to seek a general base rate increase prior to October 1, 2023. Further, the Company agreed to maintain current staffing levels for at least one year after the merger date, and to maintain its community involvement and charitable contributions at pre acquisition levels for at least three post-closing years. The Company also agreed to a one-time bill credit to customers at varying amounts, depending on customer class. The total amount of customer credits is approximately $50,000. Pike agreed to undertake a study of the feasibility of interconnecting with PJM Interconnection LLC, and the Company agreed to seek alternate natural gas suppliers.

~~Forward-looking~~In ~~statements~~fiscal ~~speak~~2021, ~~only~~the asCompany pursued rate cases in New York and Pennsylvania, and its Argo merger case in New York and Pennsylvania. We completed our two Pennsylvania rate cases in the summer of 2021 with new electric and gas rates taking effect on July 28, 2021.

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission approved our merger with Argo on February 3, 2022. Our regulatory investments have improved our business outlook. Our results at Pike for our second quarter, and for our fiscal year to date, are significantly better than in ~~light~~prior years in terms of ~~new~~higher ~~information~~revenues orand ~~future~~margins. ~~events~~We expect similar financial improvements resulting from our New York rate case.

~~Overview~~We look forward to completing our merger with Argo in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. The merger will result in reduced operating costs and will provide us the financial backing to continue to expand our customer base and to invest in capital that will promote safe and reliable energy service to our customers.

~~In fiscal~~We ~~2021~~believe our key performance indicators are net income, stockholders’ equity and the ~~Company~~safety ~~pursued~~and ~~rate~~reliability ~~cases~~of inour ~~New~~systems. ~~York~~Net ~~and~~income ~~Pennsylvania~~increased by $138,479 for the three months and ~~its~~increased ~~Argo~~$419,598 ~~merger~~for ~~case~~the insix ~~New~~months ~~York~~ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months and ~~Pennsylvania~~six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

We ~~look~~ ~~forward~~continue to ~~completing~~focus on improving the efficiency of our ~~merger~~operations ~~with~~and ~~Argo~~making incapital investments to improve our infrastructure. Corning Gas’s infrastructure improvement program concentrates on the ~~second~~replacement orof ~~third~~older ~~quarter~~distribution mains and customer service lines.

The PAPUC approved the LTIIP plan on June 13, 2019.

~~As we~~Key ~~emerge~~financial ~~from~~performance ~~the~~indicators: Covid pandemic, our focus continues to be on the safety of our customers, our employees, and the residents of our service territories. We are working with our customers to assist those in need with access to assistance in keeping current with their utility bills. We are also working on investment and joint ventures in renewable energy projects that will promote environmentally friendly clean energy to customers in our service territories.

We believe our key performance indicators are net income, stockholders’ equity and the safety and reliability of our systems. Net income increased by $281,119 for the three months ended December 31, 2021 (“Q1 FY 2022”) compared to the three months ended December 31, 2020 (“Q1 FY 2021”). Earnings per share increased from $0.04 per share to $0.13 per share in this same time period. Our earnings increase reflects an increase in both gas and electric revenues at Corning and at Pike, and gross margin at Pike, reduced by Holding Company’s non-recurring charge for a loss on the sale of Leatherstocking of New York of $164,000 (pre tax), and higher transaction costs at Holding Company. Because the Holding Company’s principal operations are conducted through Corning Gas, Pike, and Leatherstocking, all regulated utility companies, stockholders’ equity is an important performance indicator. The NYPSC and PAPUC allow the Company the opportunities to earn a just and reasonable return on stockholders’ equity as determined under applicable regulations. Stockholders’ equity is, therefore, a precursor of future earnings potential. As of December 31, 2021, compared to December 31, 2020, stockholders’ equity decreased slightly from $35,679,280 to $35,405,810. We plan to continue our focus on building stockholders’ equity. Safety and efficiency indicators include leak repair, main and service replacements and customer service metrics.

25 Gas Revenue and Margin

~~Table~~Retail gas revenue increased $2,359,325 for the three months and increased $3,606,490 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same periods last year. Gas revenues were bolstered by higher purchased gas costs, new rates at Pike, and colder weather in fiscal 2022. Purchased gas costs are subject to a NYPSC and PAPUC approved reconciliation that permits recovery of ~~Contents~~ all prudently incurred costs. Higher gas cost revenues do not impact net income.

We continue to focus on improving the efficiency of our operations and making capital investments to improve our infrastructure. Corning Gas’s infrastructure improvement program concentrates on the replacement of older distribution mains and customer service lines. In Q1 FY 2022 the Gas Company repaired 26 leaks, replaced 93 bare steel services and replaced or remediated 3.7 miles of older steel main. In fiscal 2021 the Gas Company repaired 110 leaks and replaced 9.0 miles of bare steel main and 176 bare steel services. In Q1 FY 2022 Pike replaced approximately 11 poles. In fiscal 2021 Pike replaced approximately 82 poles and did extensive tree trimming to maintain our electric infrastructure. On January 18, 2019 Pike filed a gas Long Term Infrastructure Improvement Plan (“LTIIP”) to accelerate replacement of cast iron, wrought iron and bare steel pipe over 11 years. The PAPUC approved the LTIIP plan on June 13, 2019.29

~~Earnings~~Table ~~for Q1 FY 2022 were higher than earnings for Q1 FY 2021 as a result~~ of ~~higher revenues and margins, mostly related to new electric and gas rates at Pike which took effect in July of 2021, and negative regulatory adjustments that were incurred in FY 2021 and not FY 2022.~~Contents

Retail gas revenue increased $1,247,165 for Q1 FY 2022 compared to Q1 FY 2021, all of which was attributable to increased purchased gas prices. Gas revenues were bolstered by new rates at Corning and Pike, but were negatively impacted by warmer weather in Q1 FY 2022. Purchased gas costs are subject to a NYPSC and PAPUC approved reconciliation that permits recovery of all prudently incurred costs. Higher gas cost revenues do not impact net income.

We anticipate that the cost of purchased natural gas will increase in the near term due to the post pandemic demand for energy and current economic conditions. Increases in the cost of gas should be tempered by our access to lower-cost local production gas.

26 Gas margin (the excess of utility gas revenue over the cost of natural gas purchased) increased $405,098 for the three months and increased $380,531 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same periods last year due to increased rates and colder weather. The gas margin percentages were negatively impacted by higher purchased gas costs.

~~Electric~~Electricity ~~Revenue~~costs increased $1,203,229 for the three months and ~~Margin~~increased $1,463,900 for the six months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same periods last year. The increase in costs for fiscal year 2022 is due primarily to an increase in the price of purchased electricity.

Retail electric revenue increased $748,337 for Q1 FY 2022 compared to Q1 FY 2021. This increase was mainly attributable to increased purchased power costs of $488,303 and increased customer usage of $260,034. Our customer usage increase reflects new electric rates at Pike that took effect in July of 2021. Purchased electricity costs are subject to a PAPUC approved reconciliation that permits recovery of all prudently incurred costs. Higher purchased electricity costs do not impact net income.31

~~Item~~None ~~1. Legal Proceedings.~~

InItem ~~connection with our 2021 annual shareholders meeting, on April 22, 2021, we filed with the U~~6.SExhibits. Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement including important information about our [proposed merger with Argo. On May 11, 2021, WeissLaw LLP filed a complaint on behalf of purported shareholder Richard Lawrence in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and our board members, captioned Lawrence v. Corning Natural Gas Holding Corp. et. al., Case No. 1:21-cv-04232-AJN. The complaint alleged that our directors and officers are conflicted in connection with the merger and that there are deficiencies in the proxy statement relating to our financial forecasts and the summary of the opinion of our financial adviser Janney Montgomery Scott LLC that the merger is fair, from a financial perspective, to the holders of our common stock. On May 12, 2021, we received a letter from WeissLaw demanding that we correct the allege deficiencies in the proxy statement. The WeissLaw suit and demand letter were substantially identical to demand letters we received from two other law firms on behalf of purported shareholders of the Company. These law firms regularly make shareholder demands in connection with pending merger transactions. We believe that the disclosure included in our proxy statement complied fully with applicable law and that the demand letters and the Lawrence complaint are without merit. Nevertheless, in December 2021, in order to avoid the risk of delaying the consummation of the merger, and to minimize the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, we, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, made a payment to each of the firms and the purported shareholders dropped their claims and the Lawrence suit was dismissed.
