Re: 2012 Subscription Rights Offering

President's Letter

TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:

The Company is pleased to extend, in the enclosed prospectus, a right to purchase one share of Corning Natural Gas common stock for each eight shares that you currently own at a price of $15.75 per share. Included also is the right to oversubscribe if you so choose. As is explained in the prospectus, we believe that the rights offering will strengthen our financial condition through generating additional cash, reducing certain current outstanding debt, and increasing our shareholders' equity.

The additional equity will provide capital to assist in funding infrastructure improvement projects, including pipeline replacement and system reliability capital projects, required by the New York State Public Service Commission.

Please read the prospectus carefully and contact Stanley Sleve, our Corporate Secretary, or Registrar and Transfer Company, our transfer agent, with any questions you have before you complete the subscription rights certificate. You are under no obligation to exercise your rights and you can transfer or sell them if you so choose.

Sincerely,

/s/ Mike German

Michael I. German

President & CEO
