    Distribution (EGD), Noverco and Other Gas Distribution Operations
    on a calendar year basis for the three and six months ended June

(1) Earnings for 2005 are on a calendar year basis for the three and
    six months ended June 30, 2005; whereas, earnings for 2004
    reflect earnings on a quarter-lag basis for the three and six
    months ended March 31, 2004. Effective December 31, 2004, EGD
    changed its fiscal year-end for financial reporting purposes from
    September 30 to December 31. Accordingly, the 2004 earnings from
    EGD, Noverco and Other Gas Distribution Operations are not
    comparable to earnings for 2005. Reconciliations are provided
    below.

1. Gas Distribution and Services results for 2004 were consolidated
   on a one-quarter-lag basis and therefore reflect the three and
   six month periods ended March 31, 2004. Starting at the end of
   2004, EGD changed its fiscal year end from September 30 to
   December 31. Therefore, the quarter lag basis of consolidation
   was eliminated. Gas Distribution and Services results for 2005
   reflect the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005.
