NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS





INSTRUCTIONS:

The space below is provided for important notes regarding the financial statements or any account thereof. Furnish particulars as to any significant contingent assets or liabilities existing at the end of the year. Notes relating to financial statements shown elsewhere in this report may be indicated here by reference.





1.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


General


AGL Services Company (the “Company”) is a subsidiary of AGL Resources Inc. (“AGL Resources”) which renders services to AGL Resources and its subsidiaries. The Company was established in accordance with the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 (PUHCA). All the costs associated with the Company are allocated to the operating segments in accordance with PUHCA. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



Property, Plant and Equipment


Property, plant and equipment includes property that is in use and under construction, and is reported at cost. A gain or loss is recorded for retired or otherwise disposed of property.



Depreciation Expense


Depreciation expense for the Company is computed on a straight-line basis over a period of 1 to 35 years.


Use of Accounting Estimates


Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing financial statements under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect various matters, including:


reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities in the Company’s balance sheets as of the dates of the financial statements

disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements

reported amounts of certain expenses in the Company’s statement of income during the reported periods


Those estimates involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic factors that are difficult to predict and are beyond management's control. Consequently, actual amounts could differ from estimates.





Change in Fiscal Year End


On September 20, 2001, the board of directors of AGL Resources elected to change AGL Resources’ fiscal year ended from September 30 to December 31 effective October 1, 2001.




2.

INCOME TAX


The Company has two categories of income taxes in its statements of income: current and deferred. The Company’s current income tax expense consists of federal and state income tax less applicable tax credits. The Company’s deferred income tax expense generally is equal to the changes in the deferred income tax liability during the year.


Accumulated Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities


The Company reports some of its assets and liabilities differently for financial accounting purposes than it does for income tax purposes.  The tax effects of the difference in those items are reported as deferred income tax assets or liabilities in The Company’s balance sheets. The assets and liabilities are measured utilizing income tax rates that are currently in effect.


Components of income tax expense shown in the Comparative Income statement for the three months ended December 31, 2001 are as follows:

The Company has entered into agreements under which it renders services at cost, to AGL Resources and its subsidiaries. The Company’s affiliates include the following: AGL Resources Inc., Trustees Investment, Inc., AGL Peaking Services, Inc., AGL Rome Holdings, Inc., AGL Energy Corporation, AGL Propane Services, Inc., Virginia Natural Gas, Inc., AGL Investments, Inc., AGL Networks, LLC, AGL Capital Corporation, Southeastern LNG, Inc., Customer Care Services, Inc., Global Energy Resources Corporation, Sequent Energy Management, LP, Sequent Energy Marketing, LP, Georgia Natural Gas Company, Atlanta Gas Light Company, Chattanooga Gas Company.  The Company’s services include Engineering, Finance, Treasury, Tax, Accounting, Audit, Public Relations, Employee Relations, Marketing, Information Resources, Purchasing, and other services with respect to business and operations.



4.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS


Substantially all of The Company’s employees are eligible to participate in its employee benefit plans.


Pension Benefit


All employees of The Company are covered under a defined benefit retirement plan (“Retirement Plan”) sponsored by AGL Resources Inc.  A defined benefit plan specifies the amount of benefits an eligible plan participant eventually will receive using information about the participant. The Company generally calculates the benefits under the Retirement Plan based on age, years of service, and pay. The Company’s employees do not contribute to the Retirement Plan. The Company funds the plan by contributing annually the amount required by applicable regulations and as recommended by its actuary. The Company calculates the amount of funding using an actuarial method called the projected unit credit cost method. The Retirement Plan’s assets consist primarily of marketable securities, corporate obligations, U.S. government obligations, insurance contracts, mutual funds, and cash equivalents.


Effective July 1, 2000, the benefit formula for the Retirement Plan was amended and changed from a final average earnings formula to a career average earnings formula for participants under age 50.  The final average earnings plan will continue 10 years for participants over age 50, and then will convert to a career average earnings formula. Due to the above amendment, AGL Resources’ projected benefit obligation has been reduced.


Employee Savings Plan Benefits


The Company participates in an AGL Resources Inc. sponsored RSP Plan, a defined contribution benefit plan. In a defined contribution benefit plan, the benefits a participant ultimately receives come from regular contributions to a participant account. Under the RSP Plan, The Company made matching contributions to participant accounts in the amount of $1,101,007.


AGL Resources Inc. NSP, an unfunded, nonqualified plan similar to the RSP Plan, in which The Company participates, provides an opportunity for eligible employees to contribute additional amounts for retirement savings once they have reached the maximum contribution amount in the RSP Plan. The Company contributions to the NSP were not significant.


Postretirement Benefits


The Company also participates in an AGL Resources Inc. sponsored defined benefit postretirement health care and life insurance plans, which cover nearly all employees if they reach retirement age while working for The Company. The benefits under these plans are generally calculated based on age and years of service.

Some retirees contribute a portion of health care plan costs. Retirees do not contribute toward the cost of the life insurance plan. The Company’s contribution to the Postretirement benefit plan was in the amount $2,279,800.



5.

MONEY POOL


The parent Company and its subsidiaries participate in the System Money Pool (Pool), which is administered by the Services Company on behalf of the participants. The operation of the Pool was authorized by the Securities and Exchange Commission in PUCHA release No. 35-27243 (File No. 70-9707).


Participants contribute the amount of their available funds each day to the Pool.  The funds requirements of the participants, with the exception of the Parent Company, are satisfied by advances from the Pool.

ANNUAL REPORT OF AGL SERVICES COMPANY


METHOD OF ALLOCATION



1.

Charge Back Methodology – Currently AGL Services Company (“The Company”)charges AGL Resources and its subsidiaries for the actual cost of services it provides. The following four key business requirements have been established in order to provide more accountability between the services provided and the costs charged to the operating companies, to allocate costs on a better and more accurate methodology, and to be consistent with the SEC’s preferred charge back methodology:


The Company’s methodology to charge each operating company for the cost of providing services is  primarily based upon the number of service hours provided to each operating company and/or specific O&M project;


The charge back methodology consist of three steps (Direct Charge, Direct Assignment and Distributed/Allocated);


The goal is to charge back approximately 80% of The Company’s actual costs based upon the Direct Charge and Direct Assignment steps; and


The three-step methodology charges back actual costs during the same period in which they were incurred.  


The following is a summary of the three-step charge back methodology:


Direct Charge


Costs associated with specific O&M projects entered into between The Company and an operating company will be accumulated by service provider and charged directly to the department within the operating company.  For example, Engineering Services provides bridge maintenance services to Atlanta Gas Light Company’s Georgia Field Operations.  Therefore, the costs associated with the bridge maintenance services would be charged directly to Georgia Field Operations.


Costs associated with Benefits, Fleet, Stores and Facilities will be charged directly to the departments within the operating company.  Additionally, such costs will be charged directly to the departments within The Company to fully load the costs of the service providers.  The costs will be charged out at a standard rate based upon a specific controllable driver.  The drivers are number of employees and payroll dollars (Benefits), number of vehicles (Fleet), dollar value of stores issues (Stores), and square footage (Facilities).


In accordance with the FERC system of accounts, a portion of the Fleet and Stores costs will be included in O&M.  Additionally, Benefit costs will be included in O&M.  The remaining expenses for Fleet, Stores and Facilities will be included below the line in the charge back general ledger accounts.


Currently, Fleet and Facilities costs are charged out utilizing the above methodology.  However, Benefits and Stores costs are not charged out utilizing standard rates.  Instead, these costs are allocated through shared services utilizing the number of employees (Benefits) and dollar value of stores issues (Stores) drivers.


Accounting credit will be given to the departments who provided these services to the operating companies.








Direct Assignment


The remaining costs (total operating expenses net of direct charges) will be charged to the operating companies based upon the percentage of time spent providing services to each operating company. The percentages will be calculated from cumulative hours tracked by operating company within The Company’s general ledger statistical accounts. As with direct charges, accounting credit will be given to the departments who provided these services to the operating companies.  However, the operating companies will only be charged at a corporate level for these costs.  These costs will not be pushed down to the departmental level within each operating company.


Currently, these costs are pushed down to a departmental level principally due to the charge back process being based upon allocations on certain drivers.  With the implementation of time tracking at an operating company level, not at a departmental level and since such charge backs will be based upon employee time, the push down of these costs to the departmental level will not be performed.  However, if the operating company determines that the costs should be pushed down to the department level, an allocation process within the operating company can be created to distribute the costs.  


Distributed/Allocated


The remaining costs (total operating expenses net of direct charges and direct assignments) will be charged to the operating companies utilizing a methodology to allocate or distribute the costs.  These remaining costs are associated with unassigned time or time spent providing internal services.


The primary difference between allocated and distributed relates to the type of driver utilized.  If there is causal relationship between the service provided and the allocation driver, this process is referred to as distributed.  For example, remaining costs related to customer service activities will be distributed to the operating companies based upon a “number of end-use customers” driver.


However, if a logical causal relationship does not exist between the service provided and a driver, then the remaining expenses are allocated.  For example, costs associated with Investor Relations benefits AGL Resources as a whole.  Additionally, there is no driver common to all operating companies, which establishes a logical casual relationship with the services provided.  Therefore, the remaining expenses related to Investor Relations will be allocated based upon a “Total Asset” driver.




As with direct charges and direct assignments, accounting credit will be given to the departments who provided these services to the operating companies.  However, similar to direct assignment, the operating companies will only be charged at a corporate level for these costs.  These costs will not be pushed down to the departmental level within each operating company unless otherwise requested.


The above processes primarily address total operating expenses (O&M, depreciation, amortization, taxes other than income, capitalized and distributed expenses and charge back expenses/credits).  


On a quarterly basis, The Company will generate an invoice to be provided to each operating company.  The invoice will be broken down by service provider, and categorize costs between direct charge, direct assignment, distributed and allocated.
