Item 1. | Business. |
Forward-Looking Statements
From time to time, RGC Resources, Inc. (the Company or Resources) may publish forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance, business prospects, technological developments, new products, research and development activities and similar matters. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. In order to comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Companys actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Companys forward-looking statements. These factors are described in Item 1.A below. All of these factors are difficult to predict and many are beyond the Companys control. Accordingly, while the Company believes its forward-looking statements to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will approximate actual experience or that the expectations derived from them will be realized. When used in the Companys documents or news releases, the words, anticipate, believe, intend, plan, estimate, expect, objective, projection, forecast or similar words or future or conditional verbs such as will, would, should, could or may are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Historical Development
The Company was initially incorporated in Virginia on July 31, 1998 for the primary purpose of becoming the holding company for Roanoke Gas Company (Roanoke Gas) and its former subsidiaries, Bluefield Gas Company (Bluefield Gas) and Diversified Energy Company (Diversified). Effective July 1, 1999, Roanoke Gas and its subsidiaries were reorganized into a holding company structure (the Reorganization). As a result of the Reorganization: (i) Resources became a holding company owned by the former shareholders of Roanoke Gas; (ii) Resources became the sole owner of the stock of Roanoke Gas, Bluefield Gas and Diversified; (iii) Commonwealth Public Service Corporation, a former subsidiary of Bluefield, merged its natural gas distribution business into Roanoke Gas; (iv) Roanoke Gas and Bluefield Gas continued to operate in the natural gas distribution business as subsidiaries of Resources; and (v) Diversified continued to carry on its nonutility business as a subsidiary of Resources.
Roanoke Gas was organized as a public service corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1912. The principal service of Roanoke Gas was, and continues to be, the distribution and sale of natural gas. Commencing in 1972, the distribution and sale of propane gas was added to Roanoke Gas line of business. The propane business was transferred to Diversified in January 1979. Diversified, which was not a public utility, distributed and sold propane in Southwestern Virginia and Southern West Virginia.
On July 12, 2004, Resources sold the propane assets of its subsidiary, Diversified, d/b/a Highland Propane Company. On June 26, 2005 Resources sold the remaining 10 parcels of property owned by Diversified.
On May 15, 1987, Roanoke Gas, through a series of merger transactions, acquired 100 percent of the outstanding stock of Bluefield Gas, a public service corporation, organized in 1944 under the laws of the State of West Virginia and principally engaged in the distribution of natural gas in Bluefield, West Virginia and surrounding areas, and Gas Service, Inc. (Gas Service), a nonpublic utility affiliate (through common directors and shareholders) of Bluefield Gas, which was engaged in the sale of propane in southwestern
3
Virginia and southern West Virginia. After obtaining requisite shareholder approval and the approvals of the Virginia State Corporation Commission (Virginia Commission or SCC) and the West Virginia Public Service Commission (West Virginia Commission), Gas Service was merged into Diversified, and Bluefield Gas became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roanoke Gas. Prior to the Reorganization, Bluefield Gas owned all of the issued and outstanding stock of Commonwealth, a small Virginia public service corporation organized in 1930 as the subsidiary of a predecessor corporation to Bluefield Gas.
On February 16, 2007, Resources entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with ANGD, LLC for the sale of all of the capital stock of Bluefield Gas to ANGD and Roanoke Gas entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Appalachian Natural Gas Distribution Company (Appalachian) for the sale of Roanoke Gas natural gas distribution assets located in the Town of Bluefield and the County of Tazewell, Virginia (formerly known as Commonwealth Public Service Corporation). After obtaining approval from both the Virginia Commission and the West Virginia Commission, both transactions closed effective October 31, 2007.
In March 1994, the Highland Energy (formerly Highland Gas Marketing) division of Diversified was established to broker natural gas to several industrial transportation customers of Roanoke Gas and Bluefield Gas. On July 10, 2006, Diversified entered into an asset purchase and sale agreement for the sale of the assets relating to its energy marketing business to Atmos Energy Marketing, LLC (Atmos). The assets sold included the gas supply contracts between Highland Energy and its customers and related business records. The date of transfer was set as the date from the first meter read performed for each of the end user customers on or after August 1, 2006.
On October 11, 2000, the information technology department of Resources formed Application Resources, Inc. to provide information technology consulting services.
The discussions below exclude the activities of all divisions of the Company that have been disposed of or to be disposed of and reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements included as part of the Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2007.
Services
After the sale of the energy marketing operations in August 2006 and Bluefield Gas in October 2007, Resources continuing activities consist almost entirely of natural gas distribution operations of Roanoke Gas with a nominal level of unregulated services.
Roanoke Gas maintains an integrated natural gas distribution system. Natural gas is purchased from suppliers and distributed to residential, commercial and large industrial users through underground mains and services. For fiscal 2007, approximately 90.9 percent of the Companys 55,420 natural gas customers were residential users accounting for 40 percent of total sales volumes and 57 percent or gross revenue, approximately 9.0 percent were commercial users accounting for 30 percent of total sales volumes and 38 percent of gross revenues, and approximately 0.1 percent were large industrial and transportation customers accounting for 30 percent of total sales volumes and only 4 percent of gross revenues.
Exclusive of discontinued operations, Roanoke Gas natural gas distribution business accounted for approximately 99 percent of Resources total revenues for fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005. Increases or decreases in the cost of natural gas are passed on to customers through the purchased gas adjustment mechanism. Therefore, the Companys revenues are impacted by changes in gas costs as well as by changes in consumption volume due to weather and economic conditions. However, higher gas costs may cause customers to conserve or, in the case of industrial customers, to use alternative energy sources.
4
The Companys retail sales are seasonal and temperature-sensitive as the majority of the gas sold by Resources is used for heating. The industry standard for the unit of measure for natural gas is a decatherm (DTH) which is the heat equivalent of one million BTU where one BTU is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of liquid water by one degree Fahrenheit. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, approximately 63 percent of the Companys total DTH of natural gas sales were made in the five-month period of November through March. Total natural gas deliveries from continuing operations were 9.5 million DTH, 9.5 million DTH and 10.4 million DTH in fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Companys actual heating degree days in fiscal 2007 were approximately 90 percent of the 30-year normal, as compared with approximately 88 percent and 90 percent of the 30-year normal in fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. Including the Bluefield Operations which were classified as discontinued operations would have increased total natural gas deliveries by approximately 10 percent for each of the years presented.
Suppliers
Roanoke Gas is served by multiple interstate and intrastate pipelines including Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation and Columbia Gulf Transmission Corporation (together Columbia), and East Tennessee Natural Gas Company, Tennessee Gas Pipeline, Midwestern Gas Transmission and Virginia Gas Pipeline Company. Columbia historically has delivered approximately 55 percent of the Companys gas supply, while the other pipelines deliver the balance of the Companys requirements. The rates paid for natural gas transportation and storage services purchased from the interstate pipeline companies are established by tariffs approved by FERC (the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission). These tariffs contain flexible pricing provisions, which, in some instances, authorize these transporters to reduce rates and charges to meet price competition.
The Company currently uses multi-year contracts to meet its natural gas supply needs. Effective November 1, 2007, the Company entered into a new three-year agreement with ConocoPhillips to be the asset manager and primary supplier for Roanoke Gas. The Company expects its firm supply agreements will be sufficient to meet customer demands for natural gas during the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008.
The Company uses summer storage programs to supplement gas supply requirements during the winter months. During the summer months, the Company injects gas into its liquefied natural gas storage facility, which is capable of storing up to 220,000 DTH for use during peak demand winter periods. In addition, the Company has contracted for storage reserves from Columbia, Tennessee Gas Pipeline and Virginia Gas Pipeline Company with a combined total of more than 2.4 million decatherms of storage capacity. The balance of the Companys annual natural gas requirements are met primarily through market purchases through its asset manager who also manages its pipeline transportation and storage rights and gas supply inventories and deliveries.
Having multiple pipelines, a liquefied natural gas facility and a number of underground storage options, the Company believes that it is well positioned to provide adequate gas supply for future customer growth.
5
Competition
The regulated natural gas utilities operate in a monopolistic environment. Roanoke Gas currently holds the only franchises and/or certificates of public convenience and necessity to distribute natural gas in its Virginia service areas. The franchises generally extend for multi-year periods and are renewable by the municipalities, including exclusive franchises in the cities of Roanoke and Salem and the Town of Vinton, Virginia, which expire December 31, 2015.
Management anticipates that the Company will be able to renew all of its franchises when they expire. There can be no assurance, however, that a given jurisdiction will not refuse to renew a franchise or will not, in connection with the renewal of a franchise, impose certain restrictions or conditions that could adversely affect the Companys business operations or financial condition. Certificates of public convenience and necessity, which are issued by the Virginia Commission, are of perpetual duration, subject to compliance with regulatory standards.
Resources competes with suppliers of other energy sources such as fuel oil, electricity, propane and coal. Competition can be intense among the other energy sources and can be based primarily on price. This is particularly true for industrial applications that may switch to other fuels, unless environmental regulation restrictions limit the usage of other fuels. Natural gas prices have remained stable over the past several months and the forecast for the winter season is consistent with this trend. Furthermore, the Company continues to provide service to a majority of the new residential construction market located along or near gas distribution mains in its service area.
Regulation
Roanoke Gas is subject to regulation at both the state and local levels At the state level, such regulation includes the approval of rates and charges at which natural gas is sold to customers, the approval of agreements between or among affiliated companies involving the provision of goods and services, pipeline safety, and certain corporate activities of the Company, including mergers and acquisitions. The SCC also grants certificates of public convenience and necessity to distribute natural gas in Virginia.
Roanoke Gas is further regulated by the municipalities and localities that grant franchises for the placement of gas distribution pipelines and the operation of a gas distribution network within the streets and alleys of the municipalities.
Employees
At September 30, 2007, Resources had 124 full-time employees excluding the 10 individuals employed by Bluefield Gas. As of that date, 39 employees, or 31 percent of the Companys full-time employees, belonged to the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied-Industrial International Union, Local No. 2-515 and are currently covered under a collective bargaining agreement. The union has been in place at the Company since 1952. The Roanoke Gas collective bargaining agreement will expire on July 31, 2010. Management maintains an amicable relationship with the union.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors. |
The Company is exposed to various risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of its business including the following: (i) failure to earn on a consistent basis an adequate return on invested capital; (ii) ability to retain and attract professional and technical employees; (iii) the potential loss of large-volume industrial customers to alternate fuels, facility closings or production changes; (iv) volatility in the price and availability of natural gas; (v) uncertainty in the projected rate of growth of natural gas requirements in the Companys service area; (vi) general economic conditions both locally and nationally; (vii) increases in interest rates; (viii) increased customer delinquencies and conservation efforts resulting from high fuel costs and/or colder weather; (ix) developments in electricity and natural gas deregulation and associated industry restructuring; (x) variations in winter heating degree-days from normal; (xi) changes in environmental requirements, pipeline operating requirements and cost of compliance; (xii) impact of potential increased regulatory oversight and compliance requirements due to financial, environmental, safety and system integrity laws and regulations; (xiii) failure to obtain timely rate relief for increasing operating or gas costs from regulatory authorities; (xiv) ability to raise debt or equity capital; (xv) impact of terrorism; (xvi) volatility in actuarially determined benefit costs; (xvii) impact of natural disasters on production and distribution facilities and the related effect on supply availability and price; and (xviii) new accounting standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which could change the accounting treatment for certain transactions.
The most significant risk factors include the following:
High natural gas prices:
The risk concerning high natural gas prices derives from other risks including the availability of adequate supply of natural gas, the impact of natural disasters on natural gas production and transportation, limitations on the exploration and development of natural gas wells on protected properties and demand from electric utilities of a cleaner, more environmental friendly fuel than coal for producing electricity. In the winter of 2005-06, the combination of the damage to natural gas production and transportation facilities attributable to Hurricane Katrina and demand for natural gas for electric generation resulted in a significant rise in natural gas prices. Since then, the price of natural gas has declined; however, prices still remain higher than historical levels. The Company has experienced some loss of industrial production consumption over the last few years due to price issues. If natural gas prices return to the higher levels experienced during the 2005-06 winter season, the Company may encounter a more than proportionate increase in bad debts and continued sales volume reductions attributable to conservation or customers converting to other energy or heating fuels.
Warm winter weather:
The Companys business is seasonal in nature and relies upon the sale of natural gas primarily as a heating fuel. In addition, the Companys non-gas margin rates are established based upon projected sales assuming weather utilizing a trailing 30-year period. In years where winter weather is warmer than the trailing 30-year period, customers use less natural gas as a heating fuel. This results in reduced sales and lower margins. The inclusion of a weather normalization adjustment (the WNA) factor as part of Roanoke Gas rate structure has partially mitigated the risk of a warm winter by protecting the Company from lost margins for weather in excess of 6 percent warmer than the 30 year normal. Based on fiscal 2007 results, the Company was at risk for approximately $500,000 for winter weather that was 6 percent or more warmer than the 30 year normal.
7
Regulation:
Public utility operations, by their nature, are subject to regulation. As Roanoke Gas is granted sole authority to provide natural gas service to the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas, the SCC regulates the rates the Company may charge its customers. If the SCC were to deny, disallow or otherwise significantly restrict the timely recovery of costs and a reasonable shareholder return, the earnings of the Company could be significantly impacted. Furthermore, major changes in operation and safety requirements could place an undue burden on the Company.
Item 2. | Properties. |
Included in Utility Plant on the Companys consolidated balance sheet are storage plant, transmission plant, distribution plant and general plant of Roanoke Gas as categorized by natural gas utilities. The Company has approximately 1,013 miles of transmission and distribution pipeline to serve the Companys 55,400 customers and transmission and distribution plant represent almost 86 percent of the total investment in plant.
Roanoke Gas owns and operates eight metering stations through which it measures and regulates the gas being delivered by its suppliers. These stations are located at various points throughout the Companys distribution system.
Roanoke Gas also owns a liquefied natural gas storage facility located in Botetourt County that has the capacity to store up to 220,000 DTH of natural gas.
The Companys executive, accounting and business offices and the maintenance and service departments are located in Roanoke, Virginia on land along Kimball Avenue.
The Company considers its present properties adequate.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
RGC Resources, Inc.
Roanoke, Virginia
We have audited, before the effects of the retrospective adjustments for the discontinued operations of the energy marketing division, the discontinued operations of Bluefield Gas Company, and the change in reportable segments discussed in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies General, and Note 2, Discontinued Operations, to the consolidated financial statements, the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, stockholders equity and cash flows of RGC Resources, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) for the year ended September 30, 2005 (the 2005 consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and of cash flows before the effects of the retrospective adjustments discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements are not presented herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such 2005 consolidated financial statements, before the effects of the retrospective adjustments for the discontinued operations of the energy marketing division, the discontinued operations of Bluefield Gas Company, and the change in reportable segments discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Companys operations and its cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We were not engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the retrospective adjustments for the discontinued operations of the energy marketing division, the discontinued operations of Bluefield Gas Company, and the change in reportable segments discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance about whether such retrospective adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied. Those retrospective adjustments were audited by other auditors.

Item 9. | Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. |
None.
Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
In connection with the filing of a Form 10Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company identified and disclosed a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. It is the opinion of management that this control weakness was an isolated instance related to a one-time transaction and did not otherwise impact our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting. In regards to the identified material weakness, the Company undertook remediation measures that include a more formal evaluation of the income tax implications of material non-routine transactions. Subject to the above exception, however, based on their evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15 (e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2007, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls are effective, and there have been no significant changes during the quarter ended September 30, 2007 in the Companys internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, this internal control over financial reporting.
