The following acronyms are used in Item 1: RHC registered holding company, IHC intermediate holding company.

(e)
GNG currently owns a non-controlling 70% financial interest in SouthStar and Piedmont Natural Gas Company, Inc. (Piedmont) owns the remaining 30%. Our 70% interest is non-controlling because all significant management decisions require approval by both owners. On March 29, 2004, AGL Resources executed an amended and restated partnership agreement with Piedmont. This amended and restated partnership agreement calls for SouthStars future earnings starting in 2004 to be allocated 75% to GNG and 25% to Piedmont. In addition, the partners executed a services agreement, which provides that AGL Services Company will provide and administer accounting, treasury, internal audit, human resources and information technology functions.

SouthStar is the largest retail marketer of natural gas in Georgia with a market share of approximately 36% and operates under the trade name Georgia Natural Gas.
