<P style="margin-top:5pt; margin-bottom:12pt; padding-left:36pt; line-height:14pt; font-size:12pt">AGLC is required to investigate possible environmental contamination at manufactured gas plants (&#147;MGP&#148;) and, if necessary, clean up any contamination. AGLC has been associated with ten MGP sites in Georgia and three in Florida. Based on investigations to date, AGLC believes that some cleanup is likely at most of the sites. &nbsp;As of March 31, 2003, the remediation program was approximately 63% complete. &nbsp;As reported in Holdings Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 (the &quot;1<SUP>st</SUP> Quarter 2003 10-Q&quot;), the projected liability of remediation at these sites are estimated to be $96.8 million, some of which costs are recoverable by Holdings. &nbsp;For a further description of this matter, see &quot;Item 2. &nbsp;Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition- Critical Accounting Policies &#150; Environmental Matters&quot; in the 1st Quarter 2003 10-Q.<B>]</B></P>

<P style="margin-top:5pt; margin-bottom:12pt; padding-left:36pt; line-height:14pt; font-size:12pt">On January 8, 1998, the Georgia Public Service Commission (&#147;GPSC&#148;) issued procedures and set a schedule for hearings regarding alleged pipeline safety violations. &nbsp;On July 21, 1998, the GPSC approved a settlement between AGLC and the staff of the GPSC that details a 10-year pipeline replacement program for approximately 2,300 miles of cast iron and bare steel pipe. October 1, 2002 marked the beginning of the fifth year of the 10-year pipeline replacement program. &nbsp;The estimated total remaining capital costs of this program, as of March 31, 2003 is approximately $436.2 million. &nbsp;Capital expenditures and operation and maintenance costs incurred from the pipeline safety program are expected to be recovered by Holdings. &nbsp;For a further description of this matter, see &quot;Item 2. &nbsp;Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition &#150; Critical Accounting Policies- Pipeline Replacement&quot; in the 1<SUP>st</SUP> Quarter 2003 10-Q.</P>
