are subject to regulation by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC). In
addition, both UGI Utilities, Inc. and UGIPNG have wholly-owned subsidiaries that operate
heating, ventilation and air-conditioning services businesses principally within their
natural gas utilities service territories. The term UGI Utilities is used sometimes as an
abbreviated reference to UGI Utilities, Inc. or UGI Utilities, Inc. and its subsidiaries. |
||
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UGI and its
controlled subsidiary companies, which, except for the Partnership, are majority owned, and
are together referred to as we or the Company. We eliminate all significant
intercompany accounts and transactions when we consolidate. We report the publics limited
partner interests in the Partnership and the outside ownership interest in a subsidiary of
Antargaz as minority interests. Entities in which we own 50 percent or less and in which we
exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for by
the equity method. |
||
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). They include all adjustments which we consider
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such
adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items unless otherwise disclosed. The
September 30, 2006 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited
financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006 (Companys 2006 Annual Report).
Due to the seasonal nature of our businesses, the results of operations for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. |
||
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash representing cash deposited in our natural gas futures
accounts to satisfy margin requirements totaled $21.0, $14.2 and $16.3 at June 30, 2007,
September 30, 2006 and June 30, 2006, respectively. |
||
Earnings Per Common Share. Basic earnings per share reflect the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the effects of dilutive stock
options and common stock awards. |

||
Revenue-Related Taxes. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
reached a consensus on Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 06-3, How Taxes
Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the
Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (EITF 06-3). EITF 06-3
addresses accounting policies disclosure with respect to revenue-related taxes beginning
with financial reports for interim or annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,
2006. The scope of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is
imposed concurrent with or subsequent to a revenue-producing transaction between a seller
and a customer. EITF 06-3 permits entities to adopt a policy of presenting such taxes in the
income statement either on a gross basis within revenue or on a net basis. If such taxes are
significant, and are presented on the income statement on a gross basis, the amounts of
those
taxes should also be disclosed. Our prior and current policy is to present such
revenue-related taxes within the scope of EITF 06-3 on a net basis. |
||
Reclassifications. We have reclassified certain prior-year period balances to conform to
the current-period presentation. |
- 6 -
Income Taxes. Income tax expense is provided on an interim basis using managements estimate
of the annual effective rate. Due to the seasonality of our earnings, changes in
managements estimates of income taxes made during the third or fourth fiscal quarter can
have a significant impact on such quarters effective tax rates and make the comparisons to
effective tax rates in comparable periods not meaningful. The effective income tax rates for
the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 41.9% and 10.1%, respectively. The
effective income tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were 38.7% and
36.8%, respectively. The differences in our effective tax rates principally reflect the
beneficial effects of changes made during the three months ended June 30, 2006 in
managements estimate of taxes associated with planned repatriation of foreign earnings. |
||
Use of Estimates. We make estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 (SFAS 156). SFAS 156 requires that all
separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at
fair value, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 156 permits, but does not require, the
subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value. Our
adoption of SFAS 156 effective October 1, 2006 did not have a material impact on our
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
||
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets
and Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159)
which permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value that
are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Upon adoption, a cumulative
adjustment will be made to beginning retained earnings for the initial fair
value option remeasurement. Subsequent unrealized gains and losses for fair value option
items will be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007 and should not be applied retrospectively, except as permitted by
certain conditions for early adoption. We are currently reviewing the provisions of SFAS
159. |

2. | PG Energy Acquisition |
|
On August 24, 2006, UGI Utilities acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of
Southern Union Companys (SUs) PG Energy Division, a natural gas distribution utility
located in northeastern Pennsylvania, and all of the issued and outstanding stock of SUs
wholly-owned subsidiary, PG Energy Services, Inc., pursuant to a Purchase and Sale
Agreement, as amended, between SU and UGI dated January 26, 2006 (the Agreement). UGI
subsequently assigned its rights under the Agreement to UGI Utilities. On August 24, 2006
and in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, UGI Utilities paid SU $580 in cash.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the initial purchase price was subject to a working
capital adjustment equal to the difference between $68.1 and the actual working capital as
of the closing date agreed to by both UGI Utilities and SU. In March 2007, UGI Utilities
and SU reached an agreement on the working capital adjustment pursuant to which SU paid UGI
Utilities approximately $23.7 in cash. In addition, in March 2007 UGI Utilities completed
its review and determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. |

The purchase price of the PG Energy Acquisition, including transaction fees and expenses of
$11.0, has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as follows: |
Working capital |

3. | Utility Regulatory Matters |
|
In an order entered on November 30, 2006, the PUC approved a settlement of the base rate
proceeding of PG Energy (PNG Gas). The settlement provided for an increase in natural gas
distribution base rates of $12.5 annually or approximately 4%, effective December 2, 2006. |
||
In accordance with Provider of Last Resort (POLR) settlements approved by the PUC,
Electric Utility may increase its POLR rates up to certain limits through December 31, 2009.
In accordance with these settlements, Electric Utility increased its POLR rates by 4.5% on
January 1, 2005 and 3% on January 1, 2006 (a total of 7.5% above the total rates in effect
December 31, 2004). Electric Utility also increased its POLR rates for all metered customers
effective January 1, 2007 which increased the average cost to residential customers by
approximately 35% over such costs in effect during calendar year 2006. |

4. | Segment Information |
|
We have organized our business units into six reportable segments generally based upon
products sold, geographic location (domestic or international) or regulatory environment.
Our reportable segments are: (1) AmeriGas Propane; (2) an international LPG segment
comprising Antargaz; (3) an international LPG segment comprising Flaga and our international
LPG equity investment in China (Other); (4) Gas Utility; (5) Electric Utility; and (6)
Energy Services. We refer to both international segments collectively as International
Propane. |
||
The accounting policies of the six segments disclosed are the same as those described in
Note 1, Organization and Significant Accounting Policies, in the Companys 2006 Annual
Report. We evaluate AmeriGas Propanes performance principally based upon the Partnerships
earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (Partnership
EBITDA). Although we use Partnership EBITDA to evaluate AmeriGas Propanes profitability,
it should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as an indicator of operating
performance) or as an alternative to cash flow (as a measure of liquidity or ability to
service debt obligations) and is not a measure of performance or financial condition under
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companys
definition of Partnership EBITDA may be different from that used by other companies. We
evaluate the performance of our International Propane, Gas Utility, Electric Utility and
Energy Services segments principally based upon their income before income taxes. |

2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Goodwill (not subject to amortization) |
$ | 1,441.3 | $ | 1,418.2 | ||||

The increase in goodwill during the nine months ended June 30, 2007 reflects the
effects of foreign currency translation and, to a much lesser extent, AmeriGas Propane
business acquisitions partially offset by the working capital adjustment associated with the
PG Energy Acquisition. Changes in intangible assets during the nine months ended June 30,
2007 principally reflect the effects of foreign currency translation. Amortization expense
of intangible assets was $4.2 and $12.4 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2007,
respectively, and $3.9 and $12.1 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006,
respectively. Our expected aggregate amortization expense of intangible assets for the next
five fiscal years is as follows: Fiscal 2007 $16.4; Fiscal 2008 $16.1; Fiscal 2009 -
$15.4; Fiscal 2010 $14.0; Fiscal 2011 $13.4. |

6. | UGI Utilities Debt |
|
In June 2007, UGI Utilities refinanced $20 of its maturing 7.17% Medium-Term Notes with
proceeds from the issuance of $20 of 6.17% Medium-Term Notes due June 2017. During the nine
months ended June 30, 2007, the termination date of UGI Utilities $350 Revolving Credit
Agreement was extended to August 2011. |
||
7. | Energy Services Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility |
|
Energy Services has a receivables purchase facility (Receivables Facility) with an issuer
of receivables-backed commercial paper expiring in April 2009. The maximum level of funding
available at any one time from this facility is $200. Under the Receivables Facility, Energy
Services transfers, on an ongoing basis and without recourse, its trade accounts receivable
to its wholly owned, special purpose subsidiary, Energy Services Funding Corporation
(ESFC), which is consolidated for financial statement purposes. ESFC, in turn,
has sold, and subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell, an undivided
interest in some or all of the receivables to a commercial paper conduit of a major bank.
ESFC was created and has been structured to isolate its assets from creditors of Energy
Services and its affiliates, including UGI. This two-step transaction is accounted for as a
sale of receivables following the provisions of SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Energy Services
continues to service, administer and collect trade receivables on behalf of the commercial
paper issuer and ESFC. Effective October 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 156, see Note 1. |
- 12 -
During the nine months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, Energy Services sold trade receivables
totaling $1,011.0 and $1,073.4, respectively, to ESFC. During the nine months ended June
30, 2007 and 2006, ESFC sold an aggregate $433.5 and $724.5, respectively, of undivided
interests in its trade receivables to the commercial paper conduit. At June 30, 2007, the
outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $90.4 which is net of $5.5 that was sold
to the commercial paper conduit and removed from the balance sheet. At June 30, 2006, the
outstanding balance of ESFC trade receivables was $30.2 which is net of $42.0 that was sold
to the commercial paper conduit and removed from the balance sheet. |
||
In addition, a major bank has committed to issue up to $50 of standby letters of credit,
secured by cash or marketable securities (LC Facility) to Energy Services. At June 30,
2007, there were no letters of credit outstanding. Energy Services expects to fund the
collateral requirements with borrowings under its Receivables Facility. The LC Facility
expires in April 2008. |
||
8. | Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans |
|
We sponsor two defined benefit pension plans (Pension Plan) for employees of UGI, UGI
Utilities, including employees of UGIPNG, and certain of UGIs other wholly owned
subsidiaries. In addition, we provide postretirement health care benefits to certain
retirees and postretirement life insurance benefits to nearly all domestic active and
retired employees. In addition, Antargaz has retirement obligations and other post
employment benefit commitments associated with certain of its retirees and employees. |

Pension Plan assets are held in trust and consist principally of equity and fixed
income mutual funds. The Company does not believe it will be required to make any
contributions to the Pension Plan during the year ending September 30, 2007 for ERISA
funding purposes. Pursuant to orders previously issued by the PUC, UGI Utilities has
established a Voluntary Employees Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trust to fund and pay
UGI Utilities postretirement health care and life insurance benefits referred to above by
depositing into the VEBA the annual amount of postretirement benefit costs determined under
SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. The
difference between the annual amount calculated and the amount included in UGI Gas and
Electric Utilitys rates is deferred for future recovery from, or refund to, ratepayers.
Amounts contributed to the VEBA by UGI Utilities were not material during the nine months
ended June 30, 2007, nor are they expected to be material for the year ending September 30,
2007. |
- 14 -
We also sponsor unfunded and non-qualified supplemental executive retirement income plans.
We recorded pre-tax expense for these plans of $0.6 and $1.7 for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2007, respectively. We recorded pre-tax expense for these plans of $0.5 and
$1.5 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. |

9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
|
On August 21, 2001, AmeriGas Partners, through AmeriGas OLP, acquired the propane
distribution businesses of Columbia Energy Group (the 2001 Acquisition) pursuant to the
terms of a purchase agreement (the 2001 Acquisition Agreement) by and among Columbia
Energy Group (CEG), Columbia Propane Corporation (Columbia Propane), Columbia Propane,
L.P. (CPLP), CP Holdings, Inc. (CPH, and together with Columbia Propane and CPLP, the
Company Parties), AmeriGas Partners, AmeriGas OLP and the General Partner (together with
AmeriGas Partners and AmeriGas OLP, the Buyer Parties). As a result of the 2001
Acquisition, AmeriGas OLP acquired all of the stock of Columbia Propane and CPH and
substantially all of the partnership interests of CPLP. Under the terms of an earlier
acquisition agreement (the 1999 Acquisition Agreement), the Company Parties agreed to
indemnify the former general partners of National Propane Partners, L.P. (a predecessor
company of the Columbia Propane businesses) and an affiliate (collectively, National
General Partners) against certain income tax and other losses that they may sustain as a
result of the 1999 acquisition by CPLP of National Propane Partners, L.P. (the 1999
Acquisition) or the operation of the business after the 1999 Acquisition (National
Claims). At June 30, 2007, the potential amount payable under this indemnity by the Company
Parties was approximately $58. These indemnity obligations will expire on the date that CPH
acquires the remaining outstanding partnership interest of CPLP, which is expected to occur
on or after July 19, 2009. Under the terms of the 2001 Acquisition Agreement, CEG agreed to
indemnify the Buyer Parties and the Company Parties against any losses that they sustain
under the 1999 Acquisition Agreement and related agreements (Losses), including National
Claims, to the extent such claims are based on acts or omissions of CEG or the Company
Parties prior to the 2001 Acquisition. The Buyer Parties agreed to indemnify CEG
against Losses, including National Claims, to the extent such claims are based on acts or
omissions of the Buyer Parties or the Company Parties after the 2001 Acquisition. CEG and
the Buyer Parties have agreed to apportion certain losses resulting from National Claims to
the extent such losses result from the 2001 Acquisition itself. |
||
Samuel and Brenda Swiger and their son (the Swigers) sustained personal injuries and
property damage as a result of a fire that occurred when propane that leaked from an
underground line ignited. In July 1998, the Swigers filed a class action lawsuit against
AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (named incorrectly as UGI/AmeriGas, Inc.), in the Circuit Court of
Monongalia County, West Virginia, in which they sought to recover an unspecified amount of
compensatory and punitive damages and attorneys fees, for themselves and on behalf of
persons in West Virginia for whom the defendants had installed propane gas lines, resulting
from the defendants alleged failure to install underground propane lines at depths required
by applicable safety standards. In 2003, AmeriGas OLP settled the individual personal injury
and property damage claims of the Swigers. In 2004, the court granted the plaintiffs motion
to include customers acquired from Columbia Propane in August 2001 as additional potential
class members and the plaintiffs amended their complaint to name additional parties pursuant
to such ruling. Subsequently, in March 2005, AmeriGas OLP filed a crossclaim against CEG,
former owner of Columbia Propane, seeking indemnification for conduct undertaken by Columbia
Propane prior to its acquisition by AmeriGas OLP. Class counsel has indicated that the class
is seeking compensatory damages in excess of $12 plus punitive damages, civil penalties and
attorneys fees. We believe we have good defenses to the claims of the class members and
intend to defend against the remaining claims in this lawsuit. |

From the late 1800s through the mid-1900s, UGI Utilities and its former subsidiaries owned
and operated a number of manufactured gas plants (MGPs) prior to the general availability
of natural gas. Some constituents of coal tars and other residues of the manufactured gas
process are today considered hazardous substances under the Superfund Law and may be present
on the sites of former MGPs. Between 1882 and 1953, UGI Utilities owned the stock of
subsidiary gas companies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere and also operated the businesses of
some gas companies under agreement. Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Utility
Holding Company Act of 1935, UGI Utilities divested all of its utility operations other than
those which now constitute UGI Gas and Electric Utility. UGI Utilities does not expect its
costs for investigation and remediation of hazardous substances at Pennsylvania MGP sites to
be material to its results of operations because UGI Gas is currently permitted to include
in
rates, through future base rate proceedings, prudently incurred remediation costs associated
with such sites. |
||
As a result of the PG Energy
Acquisition, UGIPNG became party to a Multi-Site Remediation
Consent Order and Agreement between PG Energy and the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection dated March 31, 2004 (Multi-Site Agreement). The Multi-Site
Agreement requires UGIPNG to perform annually a specified level of activities associated
with environmental investigation and remediation work at eleven currently owned properties
on which MGP-related facilities were operated (Properties). Under the Multi-Site
Agreement, UGIPNG is not required to spend more than $1.1 in any calendar year for such
environmental expenditures, including costs to perform work on the Properties. Costs related
to investigation and remediation of one property formerly owned by UGIPNG are also included
in this cap. The Multi-Site Agreement terminates at the end of fifteen years but may be
terminated by either party at the end of any two-year period beginning with the effective
date. |

UGI Utilities has been notified of several sites outside Pennsylvania on which private
parties allege MGPs were formerly owned or operated by it or owned or operated by its former
subsidiaries. Such parties are investigating the extent of environmental contamination or
performing environmental remediation. UGI Utilities is currently litigating four claims
against it relating to out-of-state sites. We accrue environmental investigation and cleanup
costs when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount or range of amounts can be
reasonably estimated. |
||
Management believes that under applicable law UGI Utilities should not be liable in those
instances in which a former subsidiary owned or operated an MGP. There could be, however,
significant future costs of an uncertain amount associated with environmental damage caused
by MGPs outside Pennsylvania that UGI Utilities directly operated, or that were owned or
operated by former subsidiaries of UGI Utilities, if a court were to conclude that (1) the
subsidiarys separate corporate form should be disregarded or (2) UGI Utilities should be
considered to have been an operator because of its conduct with respect to its subsidiarys
MGP. |

On September 22, 2006, South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G), a subsidiary of
SCANA Corporation, filed a lawsuit against UGI Utilities in the District Court of South
Carolina seeking contribution from UGI Utilities for past and future remediation costs
related to the operations of a former MGP located in Charleston, South Carolina. SCE&G
asserts that the plant operated from 1855 to 1954 and alleges that UGI Utilities controlled
operations of the plant from 1910 to 1926 and is
liable for 47% of the costs associated with the site. SCE&G asserts that it has spent
approximately $22 in remediation costs and $26 in third-party claims relating to the site
and estimates that future remediation costs could be as high as $2.5. SCE&G further asserts
that it has received a demand from the United States Justice Department for natural resource
damages. UGI Utilities believes that it has good defenses to this claim and is defending the
suit. |

In April 2003, Citizens Communications Company (Citizens) served a complaint naming UGI
Utilities as a third-party defendant in a civil action pending in the United States District
for the District of Maine. In that action, the plaintiff, City of Bangor, Maine (City)
sued Citizens to recover environmental response costs associated with MGP wastes generated
at a plant allegedly operated by Citizens predecessors at a site on the Penobscot River.
Citizens subsequently joined UGI Utilities and ten other third-party defendants alleging
that the third-party defendants are responsible for an equitable share of costs Citizens may
be required to pay to the City for cleaning up tar deposits in the Penobscot River. Citizens
alleges that UGI Utilities and its predecessors owned and operated the plant from 1901 to
1928. Studies conducted by the City and Citizens suggest that it could cost up to $18 to
clean up the river. Citizens third-party claims have been stayed pending a resolution of
the Citys suit against Citizens, which was tried in September 2005. Maines Department of
Environmental Protection (DEP) informed UGI Utilities in March 2005 that it considers UGI
Utilities to be a potentially responsible party for costs incurred by the State of Maine
related to gas plant contaminants at this site. On June 27, 2006, the court issued an order
finding Citizens responsible for 60% of the cleanup costs. On February 14, 2007, Citizens
and the City entered into a settlement agreement, subject to court approval, pursuant to
which Citizens agreed to pay $7.6 in exchange for a release of its liabilities. UGI
Utilities is evaluating what effect, if any, the settlement agreement would have on claims
against it. UGI Utilities believes that it has good defenses to Citizens claim and to any
claim that the DEP may bring to recover its costs, and is defending the Citizens suit. |
||
By letter dated March 30, 1992, Atlanta Gas Light Company (AGL) informed UGI Utilities
that it was investigating contamination that appeared to be related to MGP operations at a
site owned by AGL in Savannah, Georgia. A former subsidiary of UGI Utilities operated the
MGP in the early 1900s. AGL has informed UGI Utilities that it has begun remediation of MGP
wastes at the site and believes that the total cost of remediation could be as high as $55.
AGL has not filed suit against UGI Utilities for a share of these costs. UGI Utilities
believes that it will have good defenses to any action that may arise out of this site. |
||
On September 20, 2001, Consolidated Edison Company of New York (ConEd) filed suit against
UGI Utilities in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York,
seeking contribution from UGI Utilities for an allocated share of response costs associated
with investigating and assessing gas plant related contamination at former MGP sites in
Westchester County, New York. The complaint alleges that UGI Utilities owned and operated
the MGPs prior to 1904. The complaint also seeks a declaration that UGI Utilities is
responsible for an allocated percentage of future investigative and remedial costs at the
sites. ConEd believes that the cost of remediation for all of the sites could exceed $70. |
- 17 -
The trial court granted UGI Utilities motion for summary judgment and dismissed ConEds
complaint. The grant of summary judgment was entered April 1, 2004. ConEd appealed and on
September 9, 2005 a panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed in part and
reversed in part the decision of the trial court. The appellate panel affirmed the trial
courts decision dismissing claims that UGI Utilities was liable under CERCLA as an operator
of MGPs owned and operated by its former subsidiaries. The appellate panel reversed the
trial courts decision that UGI Utilities was released from liability at three sites where
UGI Utilities operated MGPs under lease. On October 7, 2005, UGI Utilities filed for
reconsideration of the panels order, which was denied by the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals on January 17, 2006. On April 14, 2006, UGI Utilities filed a petition requesting
that the United States Supreme Court review the decision of the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals. On June 18, 2007, the United States Supreme Court denied UGI Utilities petition.
UGI Utilities is defending the suit. |
||
By letter dated June 24, 2004, KeySpan Energy (KeySpan) informed UGI Utilities that
KeySpan has spent $2.3 and expects to spend another $11 to clean up an MGP site it owns in
Sag Harbor, New York. KeySpan believes that UGI Utilities is responsible for approximately
50% of these costs as a result of UGI Utilities alleged direct ownership and operation of
the plant from 1885 to 1902. By letter dated June 6, 2006, KeySpan reported that the New
York Department of Environmental Conservation has approved a remedy for the site that is
estimated to cost approximately $10. KeySpan believes that the cost could be as high as $20.
UGI Utilities is in the process of reviewing the information provided by KeySpan and is
investigating this claim. |
||
On September 11, 2006, UGI Utilities received a complaint filed by Yankee Gas Services
Company and Connecticut Light and Power
Company, subsidiaries of Northeast Utilities, (together the Northeast Companies) in the
United States District Court for the District of Connecticut seeking contribution from UGI
Utilities for past and future remediation costs related to MGP operations on thirteen sites
owned by the Northeast Companies in nine cities in the State of Connecticut. The Northeast
Companies allege that UGI Utilities controlled operations of the plants from 1883 to 1941.
The Northeast Companies estimated that remediation costs for all of the sites would total
approximately $215 and asserted that UGI Utilities is responsible for approximately $103 of
this amount. Based on information supplied by the Northeast Companies and UGI Utilities own
investigation, UGI Utilities believes that it may have operated one of the sites, Waterbury
North, under lease for a portion of its operating history. UGI Utilities is reviewing the
Northeast Companies estimate that remediation costs at Waterbury North could total $23. UGI
Utilities believes that it has good defenses to this claim and is defending the suit. |

The French tax authorities levy taxes on legal entities and individuals regularly operating
a business in France which are commonly referred to collectively as business tax. The
amount of business tax charged annually is generally dependent upon the value of certain of
the entitys tangible fixed assets. Changes in the French governments interpretation of the
tax laws or in the tax laws themselves could either adversely or favorably affect our
results of operations. |
- 18 -
In addition to these matters, there are other pending claims and legal actions arising in
the normal course of our businesses. We cannot predict with certainty the final results of
environmental and other matters. However, it is reasonably possible that some of them could
be resolved unfavorably to us and result in losses in excess of recorded amounts. We are
unable to estimate any such excess losses. Although we currently believe, after consultation
with counsel, that damages or settlements, if any, recovered by the plaintiffs in such
claims or actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, damages
or settlements could be material to our operating results or cash flows in future periods
depending on the nature and timing of future developments with respect to these matters and
the amounts of future operating results and cash flows. |

L.P. to sell its 3.5 million barrel liquefied petroleum gas storage terminal located near
Phoenix, Arizona for approximately $52. The transaction closed in July 2007 and UGI expects
to realize an after-tax gain on this sale of approximately $12 to $13. |
