Note 1 Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of capitalization of Aqua America, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) at June 30, 2008, the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the six months and the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the consolidated statements of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the consolidated statement of common stockholders’ equity for the six months ended June 30, 2008, are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, the consolidated changes in common stockholders’ equity, the consolidated results of operations, and the consolidated cash flow for the periods presented. Because they cover interim periods, the statements and related notes to the financial statements do not include all disclosures and notes normally provided in annual financial statements and, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The results of operations for interim periods may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Note 2 Dispositions
The City of Fort Wayne, Indiana has authorized the acquisition by eminent domain of the northern portion of the utility system of one of the Company’s operating subsidiaries that the Company acquired in connection with the AquaSource acquisition in 2003. The Company had challenged whether the City was following the correct legal procedures in connection with the City’s condemnation, but the State Supreme Court, in an opinion issued in June 2007, supported the City’s position. In October 2007, the City’s Board of Public Works approved proceeding with its process to condemn the northern portion of the Company’s utility system at a preliminary price based on the City’s valuation. The Company has filed an appeal with the Allen County Circuit Court challenging the Board of Public Works’ valuation on several bases. In November 2007, the City Council authorized the taking of the northern portion of the Company’s system and the payment of $16,911 based on the City’s valuation of this portion of the system. In January 2008, the Company reached a settlement with the City to transition the northern portion of the system in February 2008 upon receipt of the City’s initial valuation payment of $16,911. The settlement agreement specifically states that the final valuation of the portion of the Company’s system will be determined through a continuation of the legal proceedings that were filed challenging the City’s valuation. On February 12, 2008, the Company turned over the system to the City upon receipt of the initial valuation payment. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission is also reviewing the transfer of the Certificate of Territorial Authority for our northern system to the City. A decision on the Commission’s review is expected in the third quarter of 2008. The proceeds received are in excess of the book value of the assets relinquished. No gain has been recognized due to the contingency over the final valuation of the assets. Depending upon the outcome of the legal proceeding, the Company may be required to refund a portion of the initial valuation payment, or may receive additional proceeds. The northern portion of the system relinquished represents approximately 0.5% of the Company’s total assets.

Note 3 Long-term Debt and Loans Payable
In May 2008, the Company issued $15,000 of unsecured notes which are due in 2022 with an interest rate of 5.4%. Proceeds from the sales of these notes were used to repay short-term borrowings.
Note 4 Net Income per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive shares. The dilutive effect of employee stock options and shares issuable under the forward equity sale agreement (from the date the Company entered into the forward equity sale agreement to the settlement dates) is included in the computation of diluted net income per common share. The dilutive effect of stock options and shares issuable under the forward equity sale agreement is calculated using the treasury stock method and expected proceeds upon exercise of the stock options and settlement of the forward equity sale agreement. The following table summarizes the shares, in thousands, used in computing basic and diluted net income per common share:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	Six Months Ended	 	 	Three Months Ended	 	
 	 	June 30,	 	 	June 30,	 	
 	 	2008	 	 	2007	 	 	2008	 	 	2007	 	
Average common shares outstanding during the period for basic computation	 	 	133,549	 	 	 	132,504	 	 	 	133,683	 	 	 	132,652	 	
Effect of dilutive securities:	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Employee stock options	 	 	449	 	 	 	839	 	 	 	377	 	 	 	819

For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2008, employee stock options to purchase 1,650,796 and 2,245,247 shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculations of diluted net income per share as the calculated proceeds from the options’ exercise were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods. For the six months and three months ended June 30, 2007, employee stock options to purchase 1,151,700 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculations of diluted net income per share as the calculated proceeds from the options’ exercise were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during these periods.

Note 5 Stockholders’ Equity
In August 2006, the Company entered into a forward equity sale agreement for 3,525,000 shares of common stock with a third-party (the “forward purchaser”) and as of June 30, 2008, no shares remain under contract. In connection with the forward equity sale agreement, the forward purchaser borrowed an equal number of shares of the Company’s common stock from stock lenders and sold the borrowed shares to the public. The Company would not receive any proceeds from the sale of its common stock by the forward purchaser until settlement of the shares underlying the forward equity sale agreement. Under the forward equity sale agreement, the Company could elect to settle by means of a physical share settlement, net cash settlement, or net share settlement, on a settlement date or dates, no later than August 1, 2008. The actual proceeds received by the Company varied depending upon the settlement date, the number of shares designated for settlement on that settlement date and the method of settlement. The Company used the proceeds received upon settlement of the forward equity sale agreement to fund the Company’s future capital expenditure program and acquisitions, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The forward equity sale agreement provided that the forward price would be computed based upon the initial forward price of $21.857 per share.
In March 2008, the Company elected to perform a net cash settlement under the forward equity sale agreement of 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in payment of $2,662 by the forward purchaser to the Company. No shares were issued in connection with the net cash settlement and the payment received was recorded as an increase to common stockholders’ equity.
In June 2008, the Company elected to perform a net cash settlement under the forward equity sale agreement of 1,775,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which resulted in payment of $8,349 by the forward purchaser to the Company. No shares were issued in connection with the net cash settlement and the payment received was recorded as an increase to common stockholder’s equity. Also in June 2008, the Company settled the remaining 1,000,000 shares under the forward equity sale agreement by physical settlement. As a result, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock and received proceeds from the forward purchaser of $22,318 or $22.318 per share. The forward equity sale agreement has now been completely settled and there are no additional shares subject to the forward equity sale agreement.

Note 6 Stock-based Compensation
Under the Company’s 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”), as approved by the shareholders to replace the 1994 Equity Compensation Plan (the “1994 Plan”), qualified and nonqualified stock options may be granted to officers, key employees and consultants at prices equal to the market price of the stock on the day of the grant. Officers and key employees may also be granted dividend equivalents and restricted stock. Restricted stock may also be granted to non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The 2004 Plan authorizes 4,900,000 shares for issuance under the plan. A maximum of 50% of the shares available for issuance under the 2004 Plan may be issued as restricted stock and the maximum number of shares that may be subject to grants under the plans to any one individual in any one year is 200,000. Awards under the 2004 Plan are made by a committee of the Board of Directors. At June 30, 2008, 2,412,193 shares underlying stock option and restricted stock awards were still available for grant under the 2004 Plan, although under the terms of the 2004 Plan, terminated, expired or forfeited grants under the 1994 Plan and shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding requirements under the plan may be re-issued under the 2004 plan.
Stock Options—During the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized compensation cost associated with stock options as a component of operations and maintenance expense of $1,500 and $1,634, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized compensation cost associated with stock options as a component of operations and maintenance expense of $712 and $867, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized income tax benefits associated with stock options in its income statement of $151 and $239, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized income tax benefits associated with stock options in its income statement of $72 and $132, respectively. In addition, the Company capitalized compensation costs associated with stock options within property, plant and equipment of $212 and $284 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007; and $117 and $132 during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The fair value of options was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The per share weighted-average fair value at the date of grant for stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $4.12 and $5.52 per option, respectively. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. The following assumptions were used in the application of this valuation model:
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
 	 	2008	 	 	2007	 	
Expected term (years)	 	 	5.2	 	 	 	5.2	 	
Risk-free interest rate	 	 	3.0	%	 	 	4.7	%	
Expected volatility	 	 	23.7	%	 	 	22.5	%

Historical information was the principal basis for the selection of the expected term and dividend yield. The expected volatility is based on a weighted-average combination of historical and implied volatilities over a time period that approximates the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the expected term of the option.

Note 7 Pension Plans and Other Postretirement Benefits
The Company maintains qualified defined benefit pension plans, nonqualified pension plans and other postretirement benefit plans for certain of its employees. The net periodic benefit cost is based on estimated values and an extensive use of assumptions about the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, the rate of future compensation increases received by the Company’s employees, mortality, turnover, and medical costs.

Note 8 Water and Wastewater Rates
During the first six months of 2008, certain of the Company’s operating divisions in Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida were granted rate increases designed to increase total operating revenues on an annual basis by approximately $5,379. On July 31, 2008, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission granted the Company’s operating subsidiary in Pennsylvania a $34,428 water rate increase, on an annualized basis. The rates in effect at the time of the filing included $14,269 in Distribution System Improvement Charges (“DSIC”) or 5% above prior base rates. Consequently, the total base rates increased by $48,697, and the DSIC was reset to zero. In addition, on July 14, 2008, the Company’s operating division in New Jersey was granted a rate increase designed to increase total operating revenues on an annual basis by approximately $4,100.
In 2004, the Company’s operating subsidiaries in Texas filed an application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) to increase rates, on an annualized basis, by $11,920 over a multi-year period. The application seeks to increase annual revenues in phases and is accompanied by a plan to defer and amortize a portion of the Company’s depreciation, operating and other tax expense over a similar multi-year period, such that the impact on operating income approximates the requested amount during the first years that the new rates are in effect. The application is currently pending before the TCEQ and several parties have joined the proceeding to challenge the rate request. The Company commenced billing for the requested rates and implemented the deferral plan in 2004. The additional revenue billed and collected prior to the final ruling is subject to refund based on the outcome of the ruling. The revenue recognized and the expenses deferred by the Company reflect an estimate of the final outcome of the ruling. In 2007, the TCEQ held a hearing in which the Administrative Law Judges issued a proposed decision that supported the rate application. In March and June 2008, the TCEQ held hearings to review the case and move toward a final decision. While all major issues were reviewed by the TCEQ, no ruling was rendered. An additional hearing is expected to be scheduled during the third quarter of 2008. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has deferred $12,382 of operating costs and $3,502 of rate case expenses and recognized $31,023 of revenue that is subject to refund based on the outcome of the final commission order. Based on the Company’s review of the present circumstances, no reserve is considered necessary for the revenue recognized to date or for the deferred operating costs and rate case expense.

Note 10 Segment Information
The Company has identified fourteen operating segments and has one reportable segment named the Regulated segment. The reportable segment is comprised of thirteen operating segments for our water and wastewater regulated utility companies which are organized by the states where we provide these services. In addition, one segment is not quantitatively significant to be reportable and is comprised of the businesses that provide on-site septic tank pumping, sludge hauling services and certain other non-regulated water and wastewater services. This segment is included as a component of “Other” in the tables below. Also included in “Other” are corporate costs that have not been allocated to the Regulated segment and intersegment eliminations.

Note 11 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This statement intends to improve financial reporting by simplifying the GAAP hierarchy. It is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company believes that this pronouncement will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position or consolidated cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company believes that this pronouncement will not have an effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, consolidated financial position or consolidated cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations,” which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles for recognizing assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, contractual contingencies and certain acquired contingencies to be measured at their fair values at the acquisition date. This statement requires that acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. With the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R), the Company’s accounting for business combinations will change on a prospective basis beginning with transactions closing in the first quarter of 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51.” This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement requires expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interest of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS No. 160 is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. The Company believes this statement will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedging accounting provisions. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 as required on January 1, 2008, and did not elect the fair value option for any of its existing financial assets and liabilities. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies when other statements require or permit the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities. This statement does not expand the use of fair value measurement. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157” (FSP 157-2). FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for certain non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as required on January 1, 2008 for all financial assets and liabilities, and this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position. The Company is currently assessing the potential effect of SFAS No. 157 on all non-financial assets and liabilities.

Forward-looking Statements
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements address, among other things: our use of cash; projected capital expenditures; liquidity; possible acquisitions and other growth ventures; the completion of various construction projects; the projected timing and annual value of rate increases; the recovery of certain costs and capital investments through rate increase requests; the projected effects of recent accounting pronouncements, as well as information contained elsewhere in this report where statements are preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “intends,” “will,” “continue” or similar expressions. These statements are based on a number of assumptions concerning future events, and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Actual results may differ materially from such statements for a number of reasons, including the effects of regulation, abnormal weather, changes in capital requirements and funding, acquisitions, and our ability to assimilate acquired operations. In addition to these uncertainties or factors, our future results may be affected by the factors and risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
General Information
Nature of Operations — Aqua America, Inc. (“we” or “us”), a Pennsylvania corporation, is the holding company for regulated utilities providing water or wastewater services to what we estimate to be approximately 3 million people in Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Illinois, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Florida, Indiana, Virginia, Maine, Missouri, and South Carolina. Our largest operating subsidiary, Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc., provides water or wastewater services to approximately one-half of the total number of people we serve, which are located in the suburban areas north and west of the City of Philadelphia and in 23 other counties in Pennsylvania. Our other subsidiaries provide similar services in 12 other states. In addition, we provide water and wastewater service through operating and maintenance contracts with municipal authorities and other parties, and septage hauling services, close to our utility companies’ service territories. Aqua America, which prior to its name change in 2004 was known as Philadelphia Suburban Corporation, was formed in 1968 as a holding company for its primary subsidiary, Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc. formerly known as Philadelphia Suburban Water Company. In the early 1990’s we embarked on a growth through acquisition strategy focused on water and wastewater operations. Our most significant transactions to date have been the merger with Consumers Water Company in 1999, the acquisition of the regulated water and wastewater operations of AquaSource, Inc. in 2003, the acquisition of Heater Utilities, Inc. in 2004, and the acquisition of New York Water Service Corporation in 2007. Since the early 1990’s, our business strategy has been primarily directed toward the regulated water and wastewater utility industry and has extended the company’s regulated operations from southeastern Pennsylvania to include operations in 12 other states.

Financial Condition
During the first half of 2008, we had $110,523 of capital expenditures, repaid $1,589 of customer advances for construction and repaid debt and made sinking fund contributions and other loan repayments of $35,113. The capital expenditures were related to improvements to treatment plants, new and rehabilitated water mains, tanks, hydrants, and service lines, well and booster improvements, and other.
At June 30, 2008, we had $14,800 of cash and cash equivalents compared to $14,540 at December 31, 2007. During the first half of 2008, we used the proceeds from the issuance of common stock, internally generated funds, available working capital, the proceeds of $22,318 from the physical settlement of a portion of the forward equity sale agreement, the proceeds of $11,011 from the net cash settlements of a portion of the forward equity sale agreement, the proceeds of $16,911 from turning over to the City of Fort Wayne, the northern portion of our utility system in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to fund the cash requirements discussed above and to pay dividends. In May, 2008, we issued $15,000 of unsecured notes due in 2022, with an interest rate of 5.4%. We used the proceeds from the issuance of these notes to repay short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2008, we had short-term lines of credit of $154,000, of which $74,275 was available.
Management believes that internally generated funds along with existing credit facilities and the proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and common stock will be adequate to meet our financing requirements for the balance of the year and beyond.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
(In thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)
Results of Operations
Analysis of First Six Months of 2008 Compared to First Six Months of 2007
Revenues for the first six months increased $2,109 or 0.7% primarily due to infrastructure rehabilitation surcharges of $3,139, additional revenues of $2,648 associated with acquisitions, and additional revenues of $1,323 resulting from increased water and wastewater rates implemented in various operating subsidiaries, offset by the loss of utility revenues of $1,733 associated with utility systems sold, and decreased water consumption as compared to the first six months of 2007. The decrease in water consumption is due to unfavorable weather conditions experienced by our customers during the first half of 2008 that reduced water usage, and lower commercial / industrial water sales.
Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $5,821 or 4.7% primarily due to additional expenses associated with acquisitions of $1,440, additional bad debt expense of $1,129, an increase in fuel costs of $731, and normal increases in other operating costs, offset partially by reduced expenses of $1,167 associated with the disposition of the northern portion of our utility system in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The increase in fuel costs of $731 is a result of an increase in the cost of fuel utilized to fuel our service vehicles.
Depreciation expense increased $1,508 or 3.7% reflecting the utility plant placed in service since June 30, 2007, offset partially by acquisition adjustments recognized in the second quarter of 2008 that reduced depreciation by $735.
Amortization decreased $257 or 10.5% due to the amortization of the costs associated with, and other costs being recovered in, various rate filings.
Taxes other than income taxes increased by $207 or 0.9% due to additional property taxes associated with an increase in the taxable value of property, offset partially by decreases in payroll, capital stock, and gross receipts, excise and franchise taxes.
Interest expense increased by $1,203 or 3.6% primarily due to additional borrowings to finance capital projects, offset by a decrease in interest rates on short-term borrowings.
Allowance for funds used during construction (“AFUDC”) increased by $593 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of utility plant construction work in progress to which AFUDC is applied.
Gain on sale of other assets totaled $553 in the first half of 2008 and $388 in the first half of 2007. The increase of $165 is due to the timing of sales of land and other property.
Our effective income tax rate was 40.3% in the first half of 2008 and 39.8% in the first half of 2007. The effective income tax rate increased due to the absence of a tax credit for qualified domestic production activities in the first six months of 2008 versus the same period in 2007 for which a tax credit was recorded.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
(In thousands of dollars, except per share amounts)
Net income for the first six months decreased by $3,712 or 9.1%, in comparison to the same period in 2007 primarily as a result of the factors described above. On a diluted per share basis, earnings decreased by $0.02 reflecting the change in net income and a 0.4% increase in the average number of common shares outstanding. The increase in the number of shares outstanding is primarily a result of the additional shares sold or issued through our employee stock and incentive plan, and our dividend reinvestment plan.
Analysis of Second Quarter of 2008 Compared to Second Quarter of 2007
Revenues for the quarter increased $127 or 0.1% primarily due to additional revenues from infrastructure rehabilitation surcharges of $1,521, additional water and wastewater revenues of $1,188 associated with a larger customer base due to acquisitions, and revenues associated with the granting of rate increases of $502, offset partially by the loss of utility revenues of $941 associated with utility systems sold, and decreased water consumption compared to the second quarter of 2007. The decreased water consumption is due to unfavorable weather conditions experienced in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and drought restrictions in North Carolina that reduced customer water usage.
Operations and maintenance expenses increased by $1,812 or 2.9% primarily due to an increase in costs associated with acquisitions of $867, additional expenses associated with bad debt expense of $333, an increase in fuel costs of $318, and normal increases in other operating costs, offset partially by reduced expenses of $643 associated with the disposition of the northern portion of our utility system in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. The increase in fuel costs of $318 is a result of an increase in the cost of fuel utilized to fuel our service vehicles.
Depreciation expense increased $163 or 0.8% reflecting the utility plant placed in service since June 30, 2007, offset partially by acquisition adjustments recognized in the second quarter of 2008 that reduced depreciation by $735.
Amortization decreased $221 or 17.9% due to the amortization of the costs associated with, and other costs being recovered in, various rate filings.
Taxes other than income taxes increased by $14 or 0.1% due to additional property taxes associated with an increase in the taxable value of property, offset partially by a decrease in gross receipts and capital stock taxes.
Interest expense increased by $622 or 3.8% primarily due to additional borrowings to finance capital projects, offset partially by decreased interest rates on short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

Gain on sale of other assets totaled $553 in the second quarter of 2008 and $319 in the second quarter of 2007. The increase of $234 is due to the timing of sales of land and other property.
Our effective income tax rate was 40.2% in the second quarter of 2008 and 39.8% in the second quarter of 2007. The effective income tax rate increased due to the absence of a tax credit for qualified domestic production activities in the second quarter of 2008 versus the same period in 2007 for which a tax credit was recorded.
Net income for the quarter decreased by $1,175 or 5.0%, in comparison to the same period in 2007 primarily as a result of the factors described above. On a diluted per share basis, earnings decreased $0.01 reflecting the change in net income and a 0.4% increase in the average number of common shares outstanding. The increase in the number of shares outstanding is primarily a result of the additional shares sold or issued through our employee stock and incentive plan, our dividend reinvestment plan, and the issuance of shares associated with the physical settlement of a portion of the forward equity sale agreement.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.
(b)    Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In 2004, our subsidiaries in Texas filed an application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to increase rates over a multi-year period. In accordance with authorization from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, our subsidiaries commenced billing for the requested rates and deferred recognition of certain expenses for financial statement purposes. Several parties have joined the proceeding to challenge the rate request. In the event our request is denied completely or in part, we could be required to refund some or all of the revenue billed to-date, and write-off some or all of the regulatory asset for the expense deferral. For more information, see the description under the section captioned “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, and refer to “Note 8 — Water and Wastewater Rates” to the Consolidated Financial Statements of Aqua America, Inc. and subsidiaries in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2008.

AQUA AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The City of Fort Wayne, Indiana has authorized the acquisition by eminent domain of the northern portion of the utility system of one of the operating subsidiaries in Indiana. We had challenged whether the City was following the correct legal procedures in connection with the City’s condemnation, but the State Supreme Court, in an opinion issued in June 2007, supported the City’s position. In October 2007, the City’s Board of Public Works approved proceeding with its process to condemn the northern portion of our utility system at a preliminary price based on the City’s valuation. We filed an appeal with the Allen County Circuit Court challenging the Board of Public Works’ valuation on several bases. In November 2007, the City Council authorized the taking of this portion of our system and the payment of $16,910,500 based on the City’s valuation of the system. In January 2008, we reached a settlement agreement with the City to transition this portion of the system in February 2008 upon receipt of the City’s initial valuation payment of $16,910,500. The settlement agreement specifically states that the final valuation of the system will be determined through a continuation of the legal proceedings that were filed challenging the City’s valuation. On February 12, 2008, we turned over the system to the City upon receipt of the initial valuation payment. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission is also reviewing the transfer of the Certificate of Territorial Authority for our northern system to the City. A decision on the Commission’s review is expected in the third quarter of 2008. The proceeds received are in excess of the book value of the assets relinquished. No gain has been recognized due to the contingency over the final valuation of the assets. Depending upon the outcome of the legal proceeding, we may be required to refund a portion of the initial valuation payment, or may receive additional proceeds. The northern portion of the system relinquished represents approximately 0.5% of Aqua America’s total assets.
There are no other pending legal proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries is a party or to which any of their properties is the subject that are material or are expected to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (“Form 10-K”) under “Part 1, Item 1A — Risk Factors”. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks that we do not presently know or that we currently believe are immaterial could also impair our business, financial position, or future results and prospects.

(1)	 	These amounts consist of shares we purchased from our employees who elected to pay the exercise price of their stock options (and then hold shares of the stock) upon exercise by delivering to us (and, thus, selling) shares of Aqua America common stock in accordance with the terms of our equity compensation plans that were previously approved by our shareholders and disclosed in our proxy statements. This feature of our equity compensation plans is available to all employees who receive option grants under the plans. We purchased these shares at their fair market value, as determined by reference to the closing price of our common stock on the day prior to the option exercise.	
 	 	 	
(2)	 	On August 5, 1997, our Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program that was publicly announced on August 7, 1997, for up to 1,007,351 shares. No repurchases have been made under this program since 2000. The program has no fixed expiration date. The number of shares authorized for purchase was adjusted as a result of the stock splits effected in the form of stock distributions since the authorization date.
