Explanatory Note:

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amended Filing”) to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014 (the “Original Filing”), to: (i) revise management’s conclusions regarding internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014; and (ii) revise the financial statements to adjust certain amounts in the accounting for revenue recognition related to certain of our regulatory infrastructure programs since 1998 and adjust our amortization of intangible assets for our customer relationships and trade names for the periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, as well as update other previously-identified immaterial adjustments. Accordingly, we hereby amend and replace in their entirety Items 1, 2, 4 and 6 in the Original Filing.

We did not maintain effective controls to appropriately apply the accounting guidance related to the recognition of allowed versus incurred costs. Specifically, the Company did not have controls to address the recognition of allowed versus incurred costs, primarily related to an allowed equity return, applied to the accounting for our regulated infrastructure programs and related disclosures that operated at a level of precision to prevent or detect potential material misstatements to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This control deficiency resulted in the misstatement of our regulatory assets and operating revenues and related financial disclosures and resulted in the revision of our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 and each of the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. Additionally, this control deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has concluded that the control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

As required by Rule 12b-15, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are providing updated certifications. Accordingly, we hereby amend Item 6 in the Original Filing to reflect the filing of the new certifications.

On November 7, 2014, we filed an amended Form 10-K/A revising certain prior period information with respect to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, due to the revenue recognition and amortization of intangible asset issues referred to above. We previously disclosed in our Form 10-K/A that the revisions did not impact any incentive compensation that was based on our results for 2013, 2012 and 2011. However, subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K/A, we determined that for 2011, had the underlying accounting originally reflected the distinction between regulatory accounting principles and GAAP, certain long-term incentives that were based on our results for the performance period ended December 31, 2011, would not have been awarded. Specifically, in February 2012, based upon results for the performance period ended December 31, 2011, we would not have awarded officers (as defined for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (1) performance cash unit awards with an aggregate value of approximately $1 million and (2) a total of 37,290 shares of restricted stock. Management has evaluated this item in relation to its previously filed Form 10-K/A and materiality conclusions under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and has concluded that it would not change its prior materiality conclusion. This impact on executive compensation will be reviewed by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and by the full Board to determine appropriate actions.

Except as indicated above, this Amended Filing does not purport to reflect any information or events subsequent to the filing date of the Original Filing. As such, this Amended Filing speaks only as of the date the Original Filing was filed, and we have not undertaken herein to amend, supplement or update any information contained in the Original Filing to give effect to any subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amended Filing should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and any documents filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) subsequent to the Original Filing, including our amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on November 7, 2014, our amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on November 25, 2014, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, filed with the SEC on November 7, 2014.

AGL RESOURCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

General

AGL Resources Inc. is an energy services holding company that conducts substantially all its operations through its subsidiaries. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “company,” or “AGL Resources” mean consolidated AGL Resources Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The December 31, 2013 Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position data was derived from our revised audited consolidated financial statements filed on November 7, 2014, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under the rules and regulations of the SEC. In accordance with such rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with GAAP. Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A filed on November 7, 2014.

Due to the seasonal nature of our business and other factors, our results of operations and our financial condition for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition to be expected for or as of any other period.

Basis of Presentation

Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts, the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries, the accounts of our majority owned or otherwise controlled subsidiaries and the accounts of our consolidated VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary. For unconsolidated entities that we do not control, but exercise significant influence over, we use the equity method of accounting and our proportionate share of income or loss is recorded on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. See Note 9 for additional information. We have eliminated intercompany profits and transactions in consolidation except for intercompany profits where recovery of such amounts is probable under the affiliates’ rate regulation process.

Revision of Previously-Issued Financial Statements We have revised our financial statements and other affected disclosures for items related to the recognition of revenues for certain of our regulatory infrastructure programs and the amortization of our intangible assets. We evaluated the cumulative impact of these items, together with other previously-identified adjustments for the same periods under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 250 Accounting Changes for Error Corrections (ASC 250) relating to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 99, Materiality, and concluded that the revisions were not material, individually or in the aggregate, to any previously-issued quarterly or annual financial statements. We also evaluated the impact of revising these items through an adjustment to our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and concluded, based on the guidance within ASC 250 relating to SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements, to revise our previously-issued financial statements to reflect the impact of these revisions. Our prior-period financial statements have been revised in this Amended Filing. On November 7, 2014, we filed an amended Form 10-K/A revising certain prior period information with respect to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. See Note 13 for additional information.

We previously disclosed in our Form 10-K/A that the revisions did not impact any incentive compensation that was based on our results for 2013, 2012 and 2011. However, subsequent to the filing of our Form 10-K/A, we determined that for 2011, had the underlying accounting originally reflected the distinction between regulatory accounting principles and GAAP, certain long-term incentives that were based on our results for the performance period ended December 31, 2011, would not have been awarded. Specifically, in February 2012, based upon results for the performance period ended December 31, 2011, we would not have awarded officers (as defined for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) (1) performance cash unit awards with an aggregate value of approximately $1 million and (2) a total of 37,290 shares of restricted stock. Management has evaluated this item in relation to its previously filed Form 10-K/A and materiality conclusions under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 and has concluded that it would not change its prior materiality conclusion.

Discontinued Operations On April 4, 2014 we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Tropical Shipping, which historically operated within our cargo shipping segment. We closed on the sale of Tropical Shipping in September 2014. The assets and liabilities of these businesses are classified as held for sale on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the financial results of these businesses are reflected as discontinued operations on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts shown in the following notes, unless otherwise indicated, exclude assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Cargo shipping also included our investment in Triton, which was not a part of the sale and has been reclassified into our “other” segment. See Note 12 for additional information.

Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies and Methods of Application

Our accounting policies are described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A. Other than as described in Note 13, there were no significant changes to our accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Use of Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Our estimates are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Our estimates may involve complex situations requiring a high degree of judgment either in the application and interpretation of existing literature or in the development of estimates that impact our financial statements. The most significant estimates relate to our rate-regulated subsidiaries, uncollectible accounts and other allowances for contingent losses, goodwill and other intangible assets, retirement plan benefit obligations, derivative and hedging activities and provisions for income taxes. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, and our actual results could differ from our estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of cash on deposit, money market accounts and certificates of deposit held by domestic subsidiaries with original maturities of three months or less. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and December 31, 2013, $15 million, $31 million and $24 million, respectively, of cash and short and long-term investments held by Tropical Shipping are excluded from cash and cash equivalents and are included in assets held for sale. For more information on the sale of Tropical Shipping, see Note 12.

Energy Marketing Receivables and Payables

Our wholesale services segment provides services to retail and wholesale marketers and utility and industrial customers. These customers, also known as counterparties, utilize netting agreements that enable our wholesale services segment to net receivables and payables by counterparty upon settlement. Wholesale services also nets across product lines and against cash collateral, provided the master netting and cash collateral agreements include such provisions. While the amounts due from, or owed to, wholesale services’ counterparties are settled net, they are recorded on a gross basis in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as energy marketing receivables and energy marketing payables.

Our wholesale services segment has trade and credit contracts that contain minimum credit rating requirements. These credit rating requirements typically give counterparties the right to suspend or terminate credit if our credit ratings are downgraded to non-investment grade status. Under such circumstances, wholesale services would need to post collateral to continue transacting business with some of its counterparties. To date, our credit ratings have exceeded the minimum requirements. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, and December 31, 2013, the collateral that wholesale services would have been required to post if our credit ratings had been downgraded to non-investment grade status would not have had a material impact to our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. If such collateral were not posted, wholesale services’ ability to continue transacting business with these counterparties would be negatively impacted.

Inventories

For our regulated utilities, except Nicor Gas, our natural gas inventories and the inventories we hold for Marketers in Georgia are carried at cost on a WACOG basis. In Georgia’s competitive environment, Marketers sell natural gas to firm end-use customers at market-based prices. Part of the unbundling process, which resulted from deregulation and provides this competitive environment, is the assignment to Marketers of certain pipeline services that Atlanta Gas Light has under contract. On a monthly basis, Atlanta Gas Light assigns the majority of the pipeline storage services that it has under contract to Marketers, along with a corresponding amount of inventory. Atlanta Gas Light also retains and manages a portion of its pipeline storage assets and related natural gas inventories for system balancing and to serve system demand. See Note 10 for information regarding a regulatory filing by Atlanta Gas Light related to natural gas inventory.

Nicor Gas’ inventory is carried at cost on a LIFO basis. Inventory decrements occurring during interim periods that are expected to be restored prior to year-end are charged to cost of goods sold at the estimated annual replacement cost, and the difference between this cost and the actual liquidated LIFO layer cost is recorded as a temporary LIFO inventory liquidation. Any temporary LIFO liquidation is included as a current liability in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Interim inventory decrements that are not expected to be restored prior to year-end are charged to cost of goods sold at the actual LIFO cost of the layers liquidated. The inventory decrement as of June 30, 2014 is expected to be restored prior to year-end. The inventory decrement as of June 30, 2013 was restored prior to December 31, 2013.

Table of Contents

Our retail operations, wholesale services and midstream operations segments carry inventory at the lower of cost or market value, where cost is determined on a WACOG basis. For these segments, we evaluate the weighted average cost of their natural gas inventories against market prices to determine whether any declines in market prices below the WACOG are other than temporary. For any declines considered to be other than temporary, we record adjustments to reduce the weighted average cost of the natural gas inventory to market value. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded $4 million and $6 million, respectively, total LOCOM adjustment to reduce the value of our inventories to market value and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

Midstream operations’ primary activity is operating non-utility storage and pipeline facilities. Mechanical integrity tests and engineering studies are periodically performed on these storage facilities in accordance with certain state regulatory requirements. However, such tests may be performed in advance of such state requirements for operational purposes. During the first half of 2014, an engineering study and mechanical integrity tests were performed at one of our storage facilities, identifying a lower amount of working gas capacity that is the result of naturally occurring shrinkage of the storage caverns. Further, based on the lower capacity and an analysis of the volume of natural gas stored in the facility, we recorded additional gas costs to true-up the amount of retained fuel at this facility in the amount of $2 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

We have financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement. The financial assets and liabilities measured and carried at fair value include cash and cash equivalents, and derivative assets and liabilities. The carrying values of receivables, short- and long-term investments, accounts payable, short-term debt, other current assets and liabilities, and accrued interest approximate fair value. Our nonfinancial assets and liabilities include pension and other retirement benefits, which are presented in Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and in related notes included in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

As defined in the authoritative guidance related to fair value measurements and disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements to utilize the best available information. Accordingly, we use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We classify fair value balances based on the observance of those inputs in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments

The fair value of the natural gas and weather derivative instruments that we use to manage exposures arising from changing natural gas prices and weather risk reflects the estimated amounts that we would receive or pay to terminate or close the contracts at the reporting date, taking into account the current unrealized gains or losses on open contracts. We use external market quotes and indices to value substantially all of our derivative instruments. See Note 4 and Note 5 for additional derivative disclosures.

Goodwill

During the first quarter of 2014, we completed an engineering study at our midstream operations storage facilities that indicated a reduced forecast of working gas capacity from what was projected when our 2013 annual goodwill impairment analysis was performed during the fourth quarter of 2013. Given that the 2013 annual goodwill impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of this reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by less than 5%, we considered this reduced storage capacity as an indicator of potential impairment and, accordingly, conducted an interim goodwill impairment analysis during the first quarter of 2014.

The estimated fair value of this reporting unit was determined utilizing the income approach, which estimated the fair value based upon the present value of estimated future cash flows. The forecasts used in the income approach, which were updated during the first quarter of 2014 to reflect the contracting activity that occurred during the quarter, assume discrete period revenue growth through fiscal 2022 to reflect the recovery of subscription rates, stabilization of earnings and establishment of a reasonable base year that was used to estimate the terminal value in the valuation model. Consistent with our 2013 annual goodwill impairment testing, we assumed a long-term earnings growth rate in the terminal year of 2.5%, which we believe is appropriate given the current economic and industry specific expectations. As of the valuation date, we utilized a discount rate of 7.0%, which we believe is appropriate as it reflects the relative risk and the time value of money, and is consistent with the peer group of this reporting unit as well as the discount rates that were utilized in our 2013 annual goodwill impairment tests.

Our interim goodwill impairment test, which utilized cash flow forecasts providing for growth over the next eight years, indicated that the estimated fair value of this reporting unit continues to exceed its carrying amount with a cushion of less than 10%. However, continued declines in capacity or subscription rates, reductions to our cash flow forecasts, a sustained period at the current subscription rates or other changes to the assumptions and factors used in this analysis may result in a future failure of step one of the goodwill impairment test and require us to proceed to step two of the goodwill impairment test in a future period.

Table of Contents

The risk of impairment of the underlying long-lived assets is not estimated to be significant as the assets have long remaining useful lives, and authoritative guidance requires such assets to be tested for impairment on the basis of undiscounted cash flows over their remaining useful lives. We will continue to monitor this reporting unit for potential impairment. Changes in the amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are provided in the following table.

Earnings Per Common Share

We compute basic earnings per common share attributable to AGL Resources Inc. common shareholders by dividing our net income attributable to AGL Resources Inc. by the daily weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share attributable to AGL Resources Inc. common shareholders reflect the potential reduction in earnings per common share attributable to AGL Resources Inc. common shareholders that occurs when potentially dilutive common shares are added to common shares outstanding.

We derive our potentially dilutive common shares by calculating the number of shares issuable under restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. The vesting of certain shares of the restricted stock and restricted stock units depends on the satisfaction of defined performance and/or time-based criteria. The future issuance of shares underlying the outstanding stock options depends on whether the market price of the common shares underlying the options exceeds the respective exercise prices of the stock options. The following table shows the calculation of our diluted shares attributable to AGL Resources Inc. common shareholders for the periods presented, as if performance units currently earned under the plan ultimately vest and as if stock options currently exercisable at prices below the average market prices are exercised.

Accounting Developments

On April 10, 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance related to reporting discontinued operations. The guidance generally raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other material disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The guidance will be effective for us prospectively beginning January 1, 2015. It is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, and it will have no impact on our accounting for the sale of Tropical Shipping.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued an update to authoritative guidance related to revenue from contracts with customers. The update replaces most of the existing guidance with a single set of principles for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The new guidance must be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or via a cumulative effect upon the date of initial application. We have not yet determined the impact of this new guidance, nor have we selected a transition method.

On June 19, 2014, the FASB issued an update to authoritative guidance related to accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2016 and it is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Regulated Operations

We account for the financial effects of regulation in accordance with authoritative guidance related to regulated entities whose rates are designed to recover the costs of providing service. In accordance with this guidance, incurred costs and estimated future expenditures that would otherwise be charged to expense in the current period are capitalized as regulatory assets when it is probable that such costs or expenditures will be recovered in rates in the future. Similarly, we recognize regulatory liabilities when it is probable that regulators will require customer refunds through future rates or when revenue is collected from customers for estimated expenditures that have not yet been incurred. Generally, regulatory assets are amortized into expense, and regulatory liabilities are amortized into income over the period authorized by the regulatory commissions. The following table summarizes our regulatory assets and liabilities as of the dates presented. In addition, see Note 13 for a subsequent event that impacts our regulatory assets.

In millions	June 30, 2014 (1)		December 31, 2013 (1)		June 30, 2013 (1)

(1)	Amounts revised to include prior period adjustments. See Note 13 for additional information.

Base rates are designed to provide the opportunity for both a recovery of cost and a return on investment during the period rates are in effect. As such, all of our regulatory assets recoverable through base rates are subject to review by the respective state regulatory commission during future rate proceedings. We believe that we will be able to recover such costs consistent with our historical recoveries.

Table of Contents

Unrecognized Ratemaking Amounts We have authorized unrecognized ratemaking amounts that are not reflected within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position as indicated in the following table. These amounts are primarily composed of an allowed equity rate of return on assets associated with certain of our regulatory infrastructure programs. These amounts will be recognized as revenues in our financial statements in the periods they are collected in rates from our customers. For additional information, see Note 13.

In millions
June 30, 2014	$	109
December 31, 2013	$	93
June 30, 2013	$	79

Natural Gas Costs We charge our utility customers for natural gas consumed using natural gas cost recovery mechanisms set by the state regulatory agencies. Under these mechanisms, all prudently incurred natural gas costs are passed through to customers without markup, subject to regulatory review. We defer or accrue the difference between the actual cost of gas and the amount of commodity revenue earned in a given period, such that no operating margin is recognized related to these costs. The deferred or accrued amount is either billed or refunded to our customers prospectively through adjustments to the commodity rate. Deferred natural gas costs are reflected as regulatory assets and accrued natural gas costs are reflected as regulatory liabilities. The following table illustrates the change in net position of these costs from June 30, 2013 to June 30, 2014.

In millions	June 30, 2014			June 30, 2013			Change
Deferred natural gas costs	$	79		$	-		$	79
Accrued natural gas costs		(41	)		(130	)		89
Total (1)	$	38		$	(130	)	$	168

(1)	The $168 million change resulted from increased natural gas prices during the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013, primarily driven by colder weather experienced in 2014. These costs will be fully recovered in future periods.

Environmental Remediation Costs We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control that require us to remove or remedy the effect on the environment of the disposal or release of specified substances at our current and former operating sites, substantially all of which is related to our MGP sites. The ERC assets and liabilities are associated with our distribution operations segment and remediation costs are generally recoverable from customers through rate mechanisms approved by regulators. Accordingly, both costs incurred to remediate the former MGP sites, plus the future estimated cost recorded as liabilities, net of amounts previously collected, are recognized as a regulatory asset until recovered from customers.

Our ERC liabilities are estimates of future remediation costs for investigation and cleanup of our current and former operating sites that are contaminated. These estimates are based on conventional engineering estimates and the use of probabilistic models of potential costs when such estimates cannot be made, on an undiscounted basis. As cleanup options and plans mature and cleanup contracts are entered into, we are increasingly able to provide conventional engineering estimates of the likely costs of many elements of the remediation program. These estimates contain various engineering assumptions, which we refine and update on an ongoing basis. These liabilities do not include other potential expenses, such as unasserted property damage claims, personal injury or natural resource damage claims, legal expenses or other costs for which we may be held liable but for which we cannot reasonably estimate an amount. The following table provides additional information on the costs related to remediation of our current and former operating sites as of June 30, 2014 and reflects changes in estimates since December 31, 2013.

In millions	Probabilistic model cost estimates		Engineering estimates		Amount recorded			Expected costs over next 12 months
Illinois		$205 - $462	$	46	$	251		$	37
New Jersey		126 - 196		3		129			32
Georgia and Florida		66 - 106		9		78			14
North Carolina (1)		n/a		11		11			7
Total		$397 - $764	$	69	$	469	(2)	$	90

(1)	We have no regulatory recovery mechanisms for the site in North Carolina. Therefore, this amount is not included in our regulatory assets and changes in estimated costs are recognized in income in the period of change.

(2)

Increase of $22 million from December 31, 2013 primarily relates to a scope increase required by the Georgia Environmental Protection Division for a site in Georgia and an adjustment for a site in Florida. This was partially offset by a decrease for a site in New Jersey where remediation is almost complete.

Note 5 - Derivative Instruments

A description of our objectives and strategies for using derivative instruments, related accounting policies and methods used to determine their fair values are described in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A. See Note 4 for additional fair value disclosures.

Certain of our derivative instruments contain credit risk-related or other contingent features that could require us to post collateral in the normal course of business when our financial instruments are in net liability positions. As of June 30, 2014, for agreements with such features, derivative instruments with liability fair values for which we had posted no collateral to our counterparties totaled $62 million. The maximum collateral that could be required with these features is $11 million. For more information, see “Energy Marketing Receivables and Payables” in Note 2, which also have credit risk-related or other contingent features. Our derivative instrument activities are included within operating cash flows as an adjustment to net income of $(13) million and $14 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. See Note 4 for additional derivative instrument information. The following table summarizes the various ways in which we account for our derivative instruments and the impact on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting Treatment	Recognition and Measurement
	Statements of Financial Position	Statements of Income
Cash flow hedge	Derivative carried at fair value	Ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recognized in earnings
	Effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported initially as a component of accumulated OCI (loss)	Effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reclassified out of accumulated OCI (loss) and into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings
Fair value hedge	Derivative carried at fair value	Gains or losses on the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recognized in earnings.

Quantitative Disclosures Related to Derivative Instruments

As of the dates presented, our derivative instruments were comprised of both long and short natural gas positions. A long position is a contract to purchase natural gas, and a short position is a contract to sell natural gas. We had a net long natural gas contracts position outstanding in the following quantities:

Any amounts recognized in operating income, related to ineffectiveness or due to a forecasted transaction that is no longer expected to occur, were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Our expected gains to be reclassified from OCI into cost of goods sold, operation and maintenance expense, interest expense and operating revenues and recognized in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income over the next 12 months are $1 million. These deferred gains and losses are related to natural gas derivative contracts associated with retail operations and Nicor Gas’ system use. The expected gains are based upon the fair values of these financial instruments at June 30, 2014. The effective portion of gains and losses on derivative instruments qualifying as cash flow hedges that was recognized in OCI during the periods is presented on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of income. See Note 8 for these amounts.

There have been no other significant changes to our derivative instruments, as described in Note 2, Note 4 and Note 5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

Commercial Paper Programs

We maintain commercial paper programs at AGL Capital and Nicor Gas that consist of short-term, unsecured promissory notes used in conjunction with cash from operations to fund our seasonal working capital requirements. Working capital needs fluctuate during the year and are highest during the injection period in advance of the Heating Season. The Nicor Gas commercial paper program supports working capital needs at Nicor Gas, while all of our other subsidiaries and SouthStar participate in the AGL Capital commercial paper program. During the first six months of 2014, our commercial paper maturities ranged from 1 to 108 days, and at June 30, 2014, remaining terms to maturity ranged from 1 to 10 days. Total borrowings and repayments netted to a payment of $723 million during the first six months of 2014. For commercial paper issuances with original maturities over three months, borrowings and repayments were $50 million and $145 million, respectively, during the first six months of 2014.

Financial and Non-Financial Covenants

The AGL Credit Facility and the Nicor Gas Credit Facility each include a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 70% at the end of any fiscal month. These ratios, as calculated in accordance with the debt covenants, include standby letters of credit and surety bonds and exclude accumulated OCI items related to non-cash pension adjustments, welfare benefits liability adjustments and accounting adjustments for cash flow hedges. Adjusting for these items, the following table contains our debt-to-capitalization ratios for the dates presented, which are below the maximum allowed.

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013			June 30, 2013
AGL Credit Facility		52	%		57	%		54	%
Nicor Gas Credit Facility		52	%		55	%		43	%

The credit facilities contain certain non-financial covenants that, among other things, restrict liens and encumbrances, loans and investments, acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

Table of Contents

Default Provisions

Our credit facilities and other financial obligations include provisions that, if not complied with, could require early payment or similar actions. The most important default events include the following:

·	a maximum leverage ratio

·	insolvency events and nonpayment of scheduled principal or interest payments

·	acceleration of other financial obligations

·	change of control provisions

We have no triggering events in our debt instruments that are tied to changes in our specified credit ratings or our stock price, and have not entered into any transaction that requires us to issue equity based on credit ratings or other triggering events. We were in compliance with all existing debt provisions and covenants, both financial and non-financial, for all periods presented.

Note 9 - Non-Wholly Owned Entities

Variable Interest Entities

SouthStar, a joint venture owned by us and Piedmont, is our only significant VIE for which we are the primary beneficiary, which requires us to consolidate its assets, liabilities and statements of income. For additional information on SouthStar, see Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A. Earnings from SouthStar in 2014 and 2013 were allocated entirely in accordance with the ownership interests.

Cash flows used in our investing activities include capital expenditures for SouthStar of $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash flows used in our financing activities include SouthStar’s distribution to Piedmont for its portion of SouthStar’s annual earnings from the previous year. Generally, this distribution occurs in the first quarter of each fiscal year. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, SouthStar distributed $17 million to Piedmont.

Note 10 - Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies

We have incurred various contractual obligations and financial commitments in the normal course of our operating and financing activities that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of capital resources. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related revenue-producing activities.

We also are involved in legal or administrative proceedings before various courts and agencies with respect to general claims, taxes, environmental, gas cost prudence reviews and other matters. Although we are unable to determine the ultimate outcomes of these other contingencies, we believe that our financial statements appropriately reflect these amounts, including the recording of liabilities when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. For more information on these matters, see Note 11 in our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

Contingencies and Guarantees

Contingent financial commitments, such as financial guarantees, represent obligations that become payable only if certain predefined events occur. We have certain subsidiaries that enter into various financial and performance guarantees and indemnities providing assurance to third parties. We believe the likelihood of payment under our guarantees is remote. No liability has been recorded for such guarantees and indemnifications as the fair value was inconsequential at inception.

Regulatory Matters

On December 21, 2012 Atlanta Gas Light filed a petition with the Georgia Commission for approval to resolve an imbalance of approximately 4.8 Bcf of natural gas related to Atlanta Gas Light’s use of retained storage assets to operationally balance the system for the benefit of the natural gas market. We believe that any costs associated with resolving the imbalance are recoverable from Marketers. We are currently working with the Marketers to settle this matter, and the resolution of this imbalance will ultimately be decided by the Georgia Commission. We are currently unable to predict the ultimate outcome.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing environmental quality and pollution control that require us to remove or remedy the effect on the environment of the disposal or release of specified substances at our current and former operating sites. See Note 3 for additional information.

Litigation

We are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. Although in some cases the company is unable to estimate the amount of loss reasonably possible in addition to any amounts already recognized, it is possible that the resolution of these contingencies, either individually or in aggregate, will require us to take charges against, or will result in reductions in, future earnings. Management believes that while the resolution of these contingencies, whether individually or in aggregate, could be material to earnings in a particular period, they will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows. For additional litigation information, see Note 11 in our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

PBR Proceeding Nicor Gas’ PBR plan was a regulatory plan that provided economic incentives based on natural gas cost performance. The PBR plan went into effect in 2000 and was terminated effective January 1, 2003, following allegations that Nicor Gas acted improperly in connection with the plan. Under this plan, Nicor Gas’ total gas supply costs were compared to a market-sensitive benchmark. Savings and losses relative to the benchmark were determined annually and shared equally with sales customers. Since 2002 the amount of the savings and losses required to be shared has been disputed by the Citizens Utility Board (CUB) and others, with the Illinois Attorney General (IAG) intervening, and subject to extensive contested discovery and other regulatory proceedings before administrative law judges and the Illinois Commission. In 2009 the staff of the Illinois Commission, IAG and CUB requested refunds of $85 million, $255 million and $305 million, respectively.

In February 2012 we committed to a stipulation with the staff of the Illinois Commission for a resolution of the dispute through the crediting to Nicor Gas customers of $64 million. On November 5, 2012 the Administrative Law Judges issued a proposed order for a refund of $72 million to ratepayers. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we increased our accrual for this dispute by $8 million for a total of $72 million as a result of these developments and their effect on the estimated liability.

Table of Contents

On June 7, 2013 the Illinois Commission issued an order requiring us to refund $72 million to current Nicor Gas customers over a 12-month period. On July 1, 2013 we began refunding customers the full $72 million through our purchased gas adjustment mechanism based on natural gas throughput. As of June 30, 2014 the full amount has been refunded, with $43 million having been paid during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

CUB appealed the Illinois Commission’s order to the appellate court in Illinois. On February 28, 2014 CUB filed its initial brief with the appellate court requesting refunds consistent with its 2009 request. Nicor Gas filed its reply on July 25, 2014.

Note 11 - Segment Information

Our operating segments comprise revenue-generating components of our company for which we produce separate financial information internally that is regularly used to make operating decisions and assess performance. Our determination of reportable segments considers the strategic operating units under which we manage sales of various products and services to customers in differing regulatory environments. We manage our businesses through four operating segments - distribution operations, retail operations, wholesale services and midstream operations - and other, a non-operating segment.

On April 4, 2014 we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Tropical Shipping, which historically operated within our cargo shipping segment. The assets and liabilities of these businesses are classified as held for sale on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the financial results of these businesses are reflected as discontinued operations on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Amounts shown in this note, unless otherwise indicated, exclude assets held for sale and discontinued operations. Cargo shipping also included our investment in Triton, which is not a part of the sale and has been reclassified into our “other” segment. See Note 12 for additional information. Our "other" segment includes aggregated subsidiaries that are not significant on a stand-alone basis and that do not fit into one of our other four operating segments.

Our distribution operations segment is the largest component of our business and includes natural gas local distribution utilities in seven states. These utilities construct, manage and maintain intrastate natural gas pipelines and distribution facilities. Although the operations of our distribution operations segment are geographically dispersed, the operating subsidiaries within the distribution operations segment are all regulated utilities, with rates determined by individual state regulatory commissions. These natural gas distribution utilities have similar economic and risk characteristics.

We also are involved in several related and complementary businesses. Our retail operations segment includes retail natural gas marketing to end-use customers primarily in Georgia and Illinois. Additionally, retail operations provide home protection products and services. Our wholesale services segment engages in natural gas storage and gas pipeline arbitrage and related activities. Additionally, they provide natural gas asset management and/or related logistics services for each of our utilities except Nicor Gas, as well as for nonaffiliated companies. Our midstream operations segment includes our non-utility storage and pipeline operations, including the operation of high-deliverability natural gas storage assets. Our “other” segment includes aggregated subsidiaries that are individually not significant on a stand-alone basis and that do not fit into one of our operating segments.

The chief operating decision maker of the company is the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer who utilizes EBIT as the primary measure of profit and loss in assessing the results of each segment’s operations. EBIT includes operating income and other income and expenses. Items we do not include in EBIT are income taxes and financing costs, including interest expense, each of which we evaluate on a consolidated basis.

Note 12 - Discontinued Operations

On September 1, 2014, we closed on the sale of Tropical Shipping to an unrelated third party. The after-tax cash proceeds and distributions from the transaction were $225 million. We determined that the cumulative foreign earnings of Tropical Shipping would no longer be indefinitely reinvested offshore. Accordingly, we recognized income tax expense of $60 million, of which $31 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2014 and the remaining $29 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2014 related to the cumulative foreign earnings for which no tax liabilities had been previously recorded, resulting in our repatriation of $86 million in cash. As of June 30, 2014, we had $55 million of deferred income tax liabilities on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position related to the cumulative earnings of our foreign subsidiaries that have not been repatriated.

Table of Contents

During the first quarter of 2014, based upon the negotiated sales price, we also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $19 million, for which there is no income tax benefit. Additionally, we recognized a $4 million charge in the second quarter of 2014 related to the suspension of depreciation and amortization for assets that we were not compensated for by the buyer. The assets and liabilities of Tropical Shipping classified as held for sale on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are as follows:

(1)	We ceased depreciating and amortizing Tropical Shipping’s assets on April 4, 2014 as a result of entering into an agreement to sell this business and the assets were classified as held for sale.

(2)	Relates to the suspension of depreciation and amortization of $4 million and $19 million of goodwill attributable to Tropical Shipping that was impaired as of March 31, 2014 based on the negotiated sales price.

(3)	Expense for the six months ended 2014 includes $31 million that was recorded in the first quarter of 2014 related to the cumulative foreign earnings for which no tax liabilities previously had been recorded.

Note 13 - Revision to Prior Period Financial Statements

In October 2014, we identified an accounting issue in our revenue recognition related to certain of our regulatory infrastructure programs. Historically, our regulatory accounting models used to record revenues under these programs did not differentiate between allowable costs based on what the regulator has approved compared to an incurred cost that would otherwise be charged to expense under the accounting literature. Specifically, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 980 - Regulated Operations prohibits capitalizing allowed, but not incurred, costs such as shareholder return, even if allowed by a respective state regulatory body. Shareholder returns and other allowed, but not incurred, costs can generally only be recognized in earnings when they are collected through rates. This change is only applicable to our distribution operations segment and primarily affects our operating revenues, operation and maintenance expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense amounts.

The adjustments impacted each year since 1998. The cumulative decrease to January 1, 2013 retained earnings as a result of the adjustments was $45 million. The cumulative decrease through June 30, 2014 results in a decrease of $95 million to regulatory assets and $14 million to plant, property, and equipment. This adjustment resulted in a decrease to net income of $5 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and $5 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30 2013, respectively. These amounts will be recognized in future periods, when collected through rates from customers.

Additionally, we recorded other adjustments that we identified for prior periods that were included for completeness. The most significant of these includes the intangible asset amortization. We have determined that our use of the straight-line method of amortizing our customer relationships and trade names was not applied consistent with the requirements of ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). ASC 350 requires that an intangible asset be amortized over its useful life in a manner to reflect the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed. The impact for this adjustment was an increase to depreciation and amortization expense of $1 million each for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $3 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts were generally offset within our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income by the previously discussed adjustments related to our regulatory infrastructure programs for the deferral of depreciation expenses. Additionally, these adjustments resulted in a decrease to intangible assets, net of $12 million and $6 million as of June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We have determined that we should be utilizing the undiscounted cash flows as a basis to amortize these assets. Other previously identified immaterial uncorrected amounts are reflected in the revised amounts.

We assessed the materiality of these issues on our prior period financial statements and concluded they were not material to any prior annual or interim periods; however, the cumulative impact would have been material to the interim period ended September 30, 2014, if adjusted in 2014. As a result, in accordance with accounting standards, we revised our prior period financial statements as described below to correct for these adjustments. The revision had no effect on reported cash flows. The following tables present the effects of the revisions to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the following interim periods:

Note 14 - Subsequent Event

As discussed in Note 3, our ERC assets and liabilities are associated with our distribution operations segment and are generally recoverable through rate mechanisms. Our ERC liabilities are estimates of future remediation costs for investigation and cleanup of our former MGP operating sites that may be contaminated. The corresponding recoverable ERC regulatory assets are recorded for environmental remediation costs until the costs are recovered from our customers. We primarily recover these costs through rate riders that authorize dollar-for-dollar recovery.

In July 2014, we reached a $77 million settlement with an insurance company of environmental claims relating to potential contamination at several of our MGP sites. Under the terms of the settlement, we will receive the $77 million settlement in two installments: $45 million within 30 days of the effective date of the settlement and the remaining $32 million within one year after the effective date of the settlement. The settlement will not affect our recorded ERC liabilities but is expected to reduce our recorded ERC regulatory assets because the vast majority of the settlement amount relates to New Jersey sites for which we receive regulatory recovery of ERC expenditures. We intend to seek approval of the New Jersey BPU to utilize the insurance proceeds related to the New Jersey sites to reduce the ERC expenditures that otherwise would have been recovered from our New Jersey customers in future periods. As such, the settlement, once approved, is expected to reduce our recoverable ERC regulatory asset and have a favorable impact on the rates for our Elizabethtown Gas customers.

Executive Summary

We are an energy services holding company whose principal business is the distribution of natural gas in seven states - Illinois, Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey, Florida, Tennessee and Maryland - through our seven natural gas distribution utilities. We are also involved in several other businesses that are primarily related and complementary to the distribution of natural gas. Our operating segments consist of four operating and reporting segments - distribution operations, retail operations, wholesale services and midstream operations and one non-operating segment - other. These segments are consistent with how management views and operates our business. For additional information on our operating segments, see Note 11 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements herein and Item 1, “Business” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

In the third quarter of 2014, we revised the accounting treatment for our previously-reported non-cash revenue recognition associated with our infrastructure replacement programs. The adjustments did not affect previously-reported operating cash flows, nor are they expected to affect capital expenditure plans or dividend payments. The infrastructure replacement programs are expected to generate the same levels of return as previously communicated, as all amounts will be recovered in accordance with allowed recovery mechanisms. The adjustments related only to the timing of recognition and do not impact rates charged to customers. These adjustments impacted our distribution operations segment. Additionally, we corrected the amortization of customer relationship and trade name intangibles in our retail operations segment to reflect the amortization expense on a declining basis consistent with the pattern of undiscounted cash flows used to determine their fair values. See Note 13 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 herein for additional information on these adjustments.

In April 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell Tropical Shipping. We closed on the sale of Tropical Shipping in September 2014. During the first quarter of 2014, we recorded income tax expense of $31 million related to Tropical Shipping’s cumulative foreign earnings for which income taxes had not previously been recorded. We also recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $19 million, for which there is no income tax benefit, during the first quarter of 2014 based upon the negotiated sale price. The cargo shipping segment also included our investment in Triton, which has been reclassified into our “other” segment. Accordingly, in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, all references to continuing operations exclude assets held for sale and discontinued operations. The sale of Tropical Shipping will allow us to focus on growing our core business of operating regulated utilities and complementary non-regulated energy businesses and provide us with flexibility around our long-term financing plans. For additional information on our discontinued operations, see Note 12 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 herein.

For the second quarter of 2014, our net income attributable to AGL Resources Inc. was $58 million, an increase of $15 million compared to the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily the result of increased EBIT at distribution operations and retail operations due to increased average customer usage, increased regulatory infrastructure program revenues at Atlanta Gas Light, the acquisition of retail energy customers in June 2013, as well as lower depreciation expense at Nicor Gas. The increase was also favorably impacted by increases in operating margin at wholesale services due to higher commercial activity and net hedge gains. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in margin at midstream operations due to a retained fuel true-up at one of our storage facilities as a result of naturally occurring shrinkage of the caverns and the $11 million pre-tax gain on sale of Compass Energy in the second quarter of 2013 at wholesale services.

Our operating and maintenance expenses in the second quarter of 2014 were slightly higher compared to the same period last year mainly as a result of our June 2013 acquisition at retail operations. For the second quarter of 2014, our income tax expense increased by $7 million compared to the second quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily due to higher consolidated earnings, as previously discussed.

In the first six months of 2014, our net income attributable to AGL Resources Inc. was $342 million, an increase of $149 million compared to the same period in 2013, as we benefited from significantly colder-than-normal weather in most of our businesses as compared to slightly colder-than-normal weather in the first half of 2013. This cold weather contributed an additional $11 million of operating margin for distribution operations compared to the first half of 2013, particularly in Illinois due to the near-record cold. This cold weather also increased the operating margin for retail operations by $12 million, primarily related to Georgia compared to the first half of 2013. Excluding the favorable weather impacts at distribution operations and retail operations, we also achieved growth in our operating margins of $15 million during the first half of 2014 primarily as a result of our 2013 acquisitions at retail operations. Additionally, we experienced natural gas volatility that enabled us to capture value and increase wholesale services’ operating margin by $330 million. These increases were partially offset by decrease in margin at midstream operations due to a retained fuel true-up at one of our storage facilities as a result of naturally occurring shrinkage of the caverns and the $11 million pre-tax gain on sale of Compass Energy in the second quarter of 2013.

In the first half of 2014, our operating expenses were higher compared to the same period last year as a result of an increase in incentive compensation, as we experienced a higher concentration of our annual forecasted earnings in the first half of 2014 as compared to last year. Additionally, our operation and maintenance expense increased at Nicor Gas associated with the significantly colder-than-normal weather, as our employees worked extensive hours to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to our customers. Our income tax expense increased by $119 million for the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013, primarily due to higher consolidated earnings.

Several of our business objectives are as follows:

Distribution Operations: Invest necessary capital to enhance and maintain safety and reliability; remain a low-cost leader within the industry; opportunistically expand the system and capitalize on potential customer conversions. We intend to continue investing in our regulatory infrastructure programs in Georgia, Virginia, New Jersey and Tennessee to minimize regulatory lag and the recovery cycle. We continue to effectively manage costs and leverage our shared services model across our businesses to largely overcome inflationary effects.

Nicor Gas In 2013 Illinois enacted legislation that will allow Nicor Gas to provide more widespread safety and reliability enhancements to its distribution system. The legislation stipulates that rate increases to customer bills as a result of any infrastructure investments shall not exceed an annual average 4.0% of base rate revenues. In April 2014 we filed for a QIP under this legislation that would allow us to implement rates under the program effective in January 2015. Our filing included QIP cost estimates for three years of $171 million in 2015, $173 million in 2016 and $171 million in 2017. The statutory deadline for a decision by the Illinois Commission is August 5, 2014.

In May 2014 the Illinois Commission approved Nicor Gas’ Energy Smart Plan, which outlines energy efficiency program offerings and therm reduction goals with spending of $93 million over a three-year period beginning in June 2014. Nicor Gas’ first energy efficiency program ended in May 2014.

Atlanta Gas Light In accordance with an order issued by the Georgia Commission, when AGL Resources makes a business acquisition that reduces the costs allocated or charged to Atlanta Gas Light for shared services, the net savings to Atlanta Gas Light will be shared equally between the firm customers of Atlanta Gas Light and our shareholders for a 10-year period. In December 2013 we filed a Report of Synergy Savings with the Georgia Commission in connection with the Nicor acquisition. If and when approved, the net savings are expected to result in annual rate reductions to the firm customers of Atlanta Gas Light of $5 million. We expect the Georgia Commission to rule on the report in the second half of 2014.

Virginia Natural Gas In April 2014 the Governor of Virginia signed into law legislation that enables the state's natural gas utilities, including Virginia Natural Gas, to acquire long-term supplies of natural gas and make capital investments to facilitate the delivery of low-cost shale and coal-bed methane gas to Virginia homeowners and businesses. Under the terms of the new statute, Virginia Natural Gas could enter into commercial agreements to obtain up to 25% of its annual firm sales demand for natural gas through long-term contracts or investments such as purchases of reserves. Recovery on investments would be based upon the utility's authorized return on rate base, which would flow through the purchased gas adjustment mechanism or similar mechanism, and approval in advance by the Virginia Commission. The new statute also will allow us to build pipelines and other infrastructure that deliver shale and coal-bed methane gas into the state's markets that seek to reduce natural gas supply costs or reduce price volatility for consumers, if approved by the Virginia Commission.

Elizabethtown Gas: In March 2013 the New Jersey BPU issued an order inviting the submission of proposals from utilities in New Jersey for infrastructure upgrades designed to protect utility infrastructure from future major storm events. In September 2013, in response to this request, Elizabethtown Gas filed for a Natural Gas Distribution Utility Reinforcement Effort (ENDURE), a program that will improve our distribution system’s resiliency against coastal storms and floods. Under the proposed plan, Elizabethtown Gas will invest $15 million in infrastructure and related facilities and communication planning over a one-year period beginning January 2014. In July 2014, the New Jersey BPU approved a modified ENDURE plan that allows for Elizabethtown Gas to increase its base rates effective November 1, 2015 for investments made under the program.

Retail Operations: Maintain operating margin in Georgia and Illinois while continuing to expand into other profitable retail markets; integrate our warranty businesses and expand our overall market reach through partnership opportunities with our affiliates. With the continued adoption of fixed-price plans, we expect the Georgia retail market to remain highly competitive; however, our operating margins are forecasted to remain stable with modest growth from the acquisitions completed in 2013 and expansion into new markets. The segment’s results in the second quarter of 2014 are 50% higher than last year primarily as a result of the successful integration of the acquisitions completed in 2013.

Wholesale Services: Maximize strong storage and transportation positions, including the creation of additional economic value in 2014; effectively perform on existing asset management agreements and expand customer base and maintain cost structure in line with market fundamentals. We anticipate low volatility in certain areas of our portfolio; however, we expect a continuation of volatility in the supply-constrained Northeast corridor in the near-term. We continue to position our business model to secure sufficient supplies of natural gas to meet the needs of our utility customers and to hedge gas prices to effectively manage costs, reduce price volatility and maintain a competitive advantage. We experienced increased natural gas price volatility that enabled us to capture value in wholesale services. As a result, wholesale services’ operating margin for the first half of 2014 was $328 million higher than the same period in 2013. Wholesale services operating margin for the first half of 2014 also includes $31 million related to year-to-date transportation and forward commodity derivative losses associated with July 2014 and forward transportation capacity. This is compared to $18 million of similar transportation derivative losses in the first half of 2013 related to July 2013 and forward transportation capacity.

Midstream Operations: Optimize storage portfolio, including contracts that have expired or will expire, pursue LNG transportation and natural gas pipeline opportunities and evaluate alternate uses for our storage facilities. In April 2014 we entered into a collaborative arrangement to construct a lateral pipeline in Georgia that will connect with the Transco pipeline system and entered into an agreement to lease our 50% ownership in this lateral pipeline extension once it is placed in-service.

The sale of Tropical Shipping will allow us to focus on growing our core business of operating regulated utilities and complementary non-regulated businesses. We will also continue to maintain our strong balance sheet and liquidity profile, solid investment grade ratings and our commitment to sustainable annual dividend growth.

Natural Gas Market Fundamentals Volatility in the natural gas market arises from a number of factors, such as weather fluctuations or changes in supply or demand for natural gas in different regions of the country. The volatility of natural gas commodity prices has a significant impact on our customer rates, our long-term competitive position against other energy sources and the ability of retail operations and wholesale services to capture value from location and seasonal spreads. Additionally, changes in commodity prices subject a significant portion of our operations to earnings variability.

Table of Contents

While natural gas supply increased during the 2013/2014 Heating Season in the U.S., it was not enough to meet the increased demand, resulting in the lowest storage levels in over a decade. Assuming normal weather during the next year, higher natural gas prices may occur as storage levels are restored.

Our non-utility businesses principally use physical and financial arrangements to reduce the risks associated with both weather-related seasonal fluctuations in market conditions and changing commodity prices. Additionally, our hedging strategies and physical natural gas supplies in storage enable us to reduce earnings risk exposure due to higher gas costs. These economic hedges may not qualify, or may not be designated, for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, our reported earnings for the wholesale services, retail operations and midstream operations segments reflect changes in the fair values of certain derivatives. Accordingly, a decline in natural gas prices or decreases in transportation spreads generally results in derivative gains and corresponding increases in EBIT, while an increase in natural gas prices or a widening of transportation spreads generally results in derivative losses and corresponding decreases in EBIT. These values may change significantly from period to period and are reflected as gains or losses within our operating revenues or our OCI for those derivative instruments that qualify and are designated as accounting hedges.

Results of Operations

We generate the majority of our operating revenues through the sale, distribution and storage of natural gas. We include in our consolidated revenues an estimate of revenues from natural gas distributed, but not yet billed to residential, commercial and industrial customers from the date of the last bill to the end of the reporting period. No individual customer or industry accounts for a significant portion of our revenues.

The operating revenues and EBIT of distribution operations and retail operations are seasonal. During the Heating Season, natural gas usage and operating revenues are generally higher as more customers are connected to our distribution systems and natural gas usage is higher in periods of colder weather. Our base operating expenses, excluding cost of gas, revenue taxes, interest expense and certain incentive compensation costs, are incurred relatively evenly over any given year. Thus, our operating results vary significantly from quarter to quarter as a result of seasonality.

We evaluate segment performance using the measures of EBIT and operating margin. EBIT includes operating income and other income and expenses. Items that we do not include in EBIT are financing costs (including interest) and income taxes, each of which we evaluate on a consolidated basis. Operating margin is a non-GAAP measure that is calculated as operating revenues minus cost of goods sold and revenue tax expense in distribution operations. Operating margin excludes operation and maintenance expense, depreciation and amortization, certain taxes other than income taxes, and the gain or loss on the sale of our assets, if any. These items are included in our calculation of operating income as reflected in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

We believe operating margin is a better indicator than operating revenues of the contribution resulting from customer growth in distribution operations, since the cost of goods sold and revenue tax expenses can vary significantly and are generally billed directly to our customers. We also consider operating margin to be a better indicator in retail operations, wholesale services and midstream operations, since it is a direct measure of earnings generated before overhead costs. You should not consider operating margin an alternative to, or a more meaningful indicator of, our operating performance than operating income or net income attributable to AGL Resources Inc. as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Operating Metrics

Weather We measure the effects of weather on our business through Heating Degree Days. Generally, increased Heating Degree Days result in higher demand for natural gas on our distribution systems. With the exception of Nicor Gas and Florida City Gas, we have various regulatory mechanisms, such as weather normalization, which limit our exposure to weather changes within typical ranges in each of our utilities’ respective service areas. However, our customers in Illinois and retail operations’ customers in Georgia can be impacted by warmer or colder-than-normal weather. We have presented the Heating Degree Day information for those locations in the following table.

	Three months ended June 30,						2014 vs. 2013			2014 vs. normal			Six months ended June 30,						2014 vs. 2013			2014 vs. normal
	Normal		2014		2013		(warmer)			(warmer) colder			Normal		2014		2013		colder			colder
Illinois (1) (2)		620		610		715		(15	)%		(2	)%		3,605		4,366		3,868		13	%		21	%
Georgia (1)		141		146		178		(18	)%		4	%		1,583		1,879		1,639		15	%		19	%

(1)

Normal represents the ten-year average from January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2013, for Illinois at Chicago Midway International Airport, and for Georgia at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport as obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Data Center.

(2)	The 10-year average Heating Degree Days for the period, as established by the Illinois Commission in our last rate case, is 617 for the second quarter and 3,519 for the first six months from 1998 through 2007.

For our weather risk associated with Nicor Gas, we implemented a corporate weather hedging program in 2013 that utilizes OTC weather derivatives to reduce the risk of lower operating margins potentially resulting from decreased customer usage in the event of significantly warmer-than-normal weather in Illinois. We will continue to evaluate and use available methods to mitigate our exposure to weather in Illinois for future periods.

The 2013/2014 Heating Season was one of the coldest on record for Illinois, which positively impacted our operating margin by $17 million in the first half of 2014 compared to normal weather. Georgia also experienced 19% colder-than-normal weather, and 15% colder than last year. This colder weather positively impacted our operating margin in Georgia by $20 million in the first half of 2014 compared to normal weather.

Table of Contents

Customers The number of customers at distribution operations and energy customers at retail operations can be impacted by natural gas prices, economic conditions and competition from alternative fuels. Our energy customers at retail operations are primarily located in Georgia and Illinois. Our customer metrics highlight the average number of customers for which we provide services and are provided in the following table.

	Three months ended June 30,						2014 vs. 2013			Six months ended June 30,						2014 vs. 2013

(1)	Increase primarily represents the addition of approximately 33,000 residential and commercial customer relationships acquired in Illinois in June 2013.

Our year-over-year consolidated utility customer growth rate was 1% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. We anticipate overall utility customer growth trends for 2014 to continue improving based on an expectation of improvement in the economy and relatively low natural gas prices.

Retail operations’ market share in Georgia has decreased slightly primarily as a result of a highly competitive marketing environment, which we expect will continue for the foreseeable future. In 2014 our retail operations segment intends to continue its efforts to enter into targeted markets and expand its energy customers and its service contracts. We anticipate this expansion will provide growth opportunities in future years.

Volumes Our natural gas volume metrics for distribution operations and retail operations, as shown in the following table, present the effects of weather and our customers’ demand for natural gas compared to prior year. Wholesale services’ daily physical sales volumes represent the daily average natural gas volumes sold to its customers.

Within our midstream operations segment, our natural gas storage businesses seek to have a significant percentage of their working natural gas capacity under firm subscription, but also take into account current and expected market conditions. This allows our natural gas storage business to generate additional revenue during times of peak market demand for natural gas storage services, but retain some consistency with their earnings and maximize the value of the investments.

However, our midstream operations storage business is cyclical and the abundant supply of natural gas in recent years and the resulting lack of market and price volatility have negatively impacted the profitability of our storage facilities. Consistent with our expectations, we had contracts expire on March 31, 2014 that were subscribed at lower prices as compared to prior years. We anticipate these lower natural gas prices to continue throughout 2014 as compared to historical averages. The prices for natural gas storage capacity are expected to increase as supply and demand quantities reach equilibrium as the economy improves, expected exports of LNG occur and/or natural gas demand increases in response to low prices and expanded uses for natural gas. As of the periods presented the overall monthly average firm subscription rates per facility and amount of firm capacity subscription were as follows:

	June 30, 2014				June 30, 2013

Distribution Operations

Our distribution operations segment is the largest component of our business and is subject to regulation and oversight by agencies in each of the seven states we serve. These agencies approve natural gas rates designed to provide us the opportunity to generate revenues to recover the cost of natural gas delivered to our customers and our fixed and variable costs, such as depreciation, interest, maintenance and overhead costs, and to earn a reasonable return for our shareholders.

With the exception of Atlanta Gas Light, our second-largest utility, the earnings of our regulated utilities can be affected by customer consumption patterns that are a function of weather conditions, price levels for natural gas and general economic conditions that may impact our customers’ ability to pay for natural gas consumed. Depreciation expense at distribution operations decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 by $10 million and $20 million, respectively, primarily due to Nicor Gas’ new composite depreciation rate that became effective August 30, 2013, partially offset by capital investments. Nicor Gas’ lower composite depreciation rate did not impact customer rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 distribution operations’ EBIT increased by $11 million and $29 million, or 11% and 9%, respectively, compared to the same periods during the prior year, as shown in the following table.

Retail Operations

Our retail operations segment, which consists of SouthStar and Pivotal Home Solutions, is also weather sensitive and uses a variety of hedging strategies, such as weather derivative instruments and other risk management tools, to mitigate potential weather impacts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 retail operations’ EBIT increased by $5 million, or 45%, and $17 million, or 21%, respectively, compared to the same periods during the prior year, as shown in the following table.

Wholesale Services

Our wholesale services segment is involved in asset management and optimization, storage, transportation, producer and peaking services, natural gas supply, natural gas services and wholesale marketing. Sequent has positioned the business to generate positive economic earnings even under low volatility market conditions. However, when market price volatility increases as we experienced in the first half of 2014, we believe Sequent is well positioned to capture significant value and generate stronger results. EBIT for wholesale services is impacted by volatility in the natural gas market arising from a number of factors, including weather fluctuations and changes in supply or demand for natural gas in different regions of the country. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, wholesale services’ EBIT increased by $13 million and $289 million, respectively, compared to the same periods during the prior year, as shown in the following table.

Change in commercial activity The commercial activity at wholesale services includes recognized storage and transportation values that were generated in prior periods, which reflect the impact of prior period derivative gains and losses as associated physical transactions occur in the period. Additionally, the commercial activity includes significantly higher operating margin generated and recognized in the second quarter and year to date of 2014. For the first six months of 2014, commercial activity increased significantly due to the following:

the recognition of operating margin associated with our transportation and storage portfolios, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest regions, from price volatility generated by significantly colder-than-normal weather in the first quarter of 2014, in part reflecting Sequent’s strategy and focus on providing asset management type services to producers around the major shale producing regions and to gas fired power generators, enabling Sequent to optimize the associated pipeline transportation and storage capacity assets,

·	the recognition of operating margin resulting from the withdrawal of storage inventory at the end of 2013 that was included in the storage withdrawal schedule with a value of $28 million as of December 31, 2013,

·	the recognition of operating margin resulting from mark-to-market accounting derivative losses at the end of 2013

Change in storage and transportation derivatives The first half of 2014 showed a return of significantly higher price volatility benefitting Sequent’s portfolio of pipeline transportation and storage capacity assets throughout the country, primarily in the Gulf Coast, Northeast and Midwest markets. Although we do not expect this high level of price volatility to continue, we see the potential for market fundamentals indicating some level of increased volatility which would continue to benefit Sequent’s portfolio of pipeline transportation capacity should this occur. Gains in our transportation and forward commodity hedge positions in the second quarter of 2014 are the result primarily of the tightening of transportation basis spreads which resulted in hedge gains in the second quarter.

Table of Contents

The storage derivative gains are primarily due to the change in natural gas prices applicable to the locations of our specific storage assets. Losses in our transportation and forward commodity derivative positions during the first half of 2014 are the result primarily of widening transportation basis spreads. Significantly colder-than-normal weather and higher demand together with natural gas transportation constraints due to growing shale production, impacted forward prices at natural gas receipt and delivery points primarily in the Northeast and the Midwest regions. These losses are temporary and, based on current expectations, will largely be recovered in 2014 through 2016 with the physical flow of natural gas and utilization of the contracted transportation capacity.

Withdrawal schedule and physical transportation transactions The expected natural gas withdrawals from storage and expected recovery of derivative losses associated with Sequent’s transportation portfolio is presented in the following table, along with the net operating revenues expected at the time of withdrawal from storage and the physical flow of natural gas between contracted transportation receipt and delivery points. Sequent’s expected net operating revenues exclude storage and transportation demand charges, as well as other variable fuel, withdrawal, receipt and delivery charges, but are net of the estimated impact of profit sharing under our asset management agreements. The amounts that are realizable in future periods are based on the inventory withdrawal schedule, planned physical flow of natural gas between the transportation receipt and delivery points and forward natural gas prices at June 30, 2014. A portion of Sequent’s storage inventory and transportation capacity is economically hedged with futures contracts, which results in realization of substantially fixed net operating revenues, timing notwithstanding. For more information on Sequent’s energy marketing and risk management activities, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Commodity Price Risk” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

(2)	Represents the periods associated with the transportation derivative losses during which the derivatives will be settled and the physical transportation transactions will occur that offset the derivative losses recognized in 2013 and during the first half of 2014.

The unrealized storage and transportation derivative losses do not change the underlying economic value of our storage and transportation positions, and based on current expectations, will largely be reversed in 2014 and 2015 when the related transactions occur and are recognized. For more information on Sequent’s energy marketing and risk management activities, see Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” under the caption “Natural Gas Price Risk” of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Midstream Operations

Our midstream operations segment’s primary activity is operating non-utility storage and pipeline facilities, including the development and operation of high-deliverability underground natural gas storage assets. While this business can also generate additional revenue during times of peak market demand for natural gas storage services, certain of our storage services are covered under short, medium and long-term contracts at fixed market rates. Based on an engineering study and mechanical integrity tests performed in the first half of 2014, we identified a lower amount of working gas capacity, further resulting in the true-up of retained fuel at one of our storage facilities, negatively impacting EBIT by $2 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in working gas capacity is a result of naturally occurring shrinkage of the storage cavern and we are evaluating and developing strategies to recover the decreased working capacity. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 midstream operations’ EBIT decreased by $7 million and $12 million, respectively, compared to the same periods during the prior year, as shown in the following table.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview The acquisition of natural gas and pipeline capacity, payment of dividends and funding of working capital needs primarily related to our natural gas inventory are our most significant short-term financing requirements. The liquidity required to fund these short-term needs is primarily provided by our operating activities, and any needs not met are primarily satisfied with short-term borrowings under our commercial paper programs, which are supported by the AGL Credit Facility and the Nicor Gas Credit Facility. The need for long-term capital is driven primarily by capital expenditures and maturities of long-term debt. Periodically, we raise funds supporting our long-term cash needs from the issuance of long-term debt or equity securities. We regularly evaluate our funding strategy and profile to ensure that we have sufficient liquidity for our short-term and long-term needs in a cost-effective manner.

Our financing activities, including long-term and short-term debt and equity, are subject to customary approval or review by state and federal regulatory bodies, including the various commissions of the states in which we conduct business. Certain financing activities we undertake may also be subject to approval by state regulatory agencies. A substantial portion of our consolidated assets, earnings and cash flows is derived from the operation of our regulated utility subsidiaries, whose legal authority to pay dividends or make other distributions to us is subject to regulation. Nicor Gas is restricted by regulation to the extent of its retained earnings balance in the amount it can dividend and is not permitted to make money pool loans to affiliates.

We believe the amounts available to us under our long-term debt and credit facilities as well as through the issuance of debt and equity securities, combined with cash provided by operating activities, will continue to allow us to meet our needs for working capital, pension and retiree welfare benefits, capital expenditures, anticipated debt redemptions, interest payments on debt obligations, dividend payments and other cash needs through the next several years. Our ability to satisfy our working capital requirements and our debt service obligations, or fund planned capital expenditures, will substantially depend upon our future operating performance (which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions), and financial, business and other factors, some of which we are unable to control. These factors include, among others, regulatory changes, the price of and demand for natural gas and operational risks.

Upon closing our sale of Tropical Shipping, which we anticipate to occur during the third quarter of 2014, we expect to receive after-tax cash proceeds and distributions of approximately $220 million, subject to certain defined post-closing adjustments. These proceeds and distributions combined with our cash flow from operating activities, provide us flexibility around our long-term financing plans.

Our capitalization and financing strategy is intended to ensure that we are properly capitalized with the appropriate mix of debt securities and equity. This strategy includes active management of the percentage of total debt relative to total capitalization, appropriate mix of debt with fixed to floating interest rates (our variable debt target is 20% to 45% of total debt), as well as the term and interest rate profile of our debt securities. At June 30, 2014, our variable-rate debt was 16% of our total debt, compared to 28% as of December 31, 2013 and 17% as of June 30, 2013. The decrease from December 31, 2013 was primarily due to decreased commercial paper borrowings.

We will continue to evaluate our need to increase available liquidity based on our view of working capital requirements, including the impact of changes in natural gas prices, liquidity requirements established by rating agencies and other factors. See Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2013 Form 10-K for additional information on items that could impact our liquidity and capital resource requirements.

Table of Contents

Capital Projects We continue to focus on capital discipline and cost control while moving ahead with projects and initiatives that we expect will have current and future benefits to us and our customers, provide an appropriate return on invested capital and ensure the safety, reliability and integrity of our utility infrastructure. The following table and discussions provide updates on some of our larger capital projects under various programs at distribution operations. These programs update or expand our distribution systems to improve system reliability and meet operational flexibility and growth. Our anticipated expenditures for these programs in 2014 are discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” under the caption ‘Cash Flow from Investing Activities’ under Item 7 in our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

Short-Term Debt Our short-term debt comprises borrowings under our commercial paper programs and current portion of our senior notes. Our commercial paper borrowings are supported by the $1.3 billion AGL Capital Credit Facility and $700 million Nicor Gas Credit Facility. The Nicor Gas Credit Facility can only be used for the working capital needs of Nicor Gas. The following table provides additional information on our short-term debt.

In millions	Period end balance outstanding (1)		Daily average balance outstanding (2)		Minimum balance outstanding (2)		Largest balance outstanding (2)

Senior notes (3)		200		185		-		200
Total short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt	$	648	$	811	$	58	$	1,550

(1)	As of June 30, 2014.

(2)	For the six months ended June 30, 2014. The minimum and largest balances outstanding for each debt instrument occurred at different times during the period. Consequently, the total balances are not indicative of actual borrowings on any one day during the period.

(3)	These senior notes mature in January 2015.

The largest, minimum and daily average balances borrowed under our commercial paper programs are important when assessing the intra-period fluctuations of our short-term borrowings and potential liquidity risk. The fluctuations are due to our seasonal cash requirements to fund working capital needs, in particular the purchase of natural gas inventory, margin calls and collateral.

Increasing natural gas commodity prices can have a significant impact on our commercial paper borrowings. Based on current natural gas prices and our expected injection plan, a $1 NYMEX price increase could result in an approximately $140 million change of working capital requirements during the 2014 injection season. This range is sensitive to the timing of storage injections and withdrawals, collateral requirements and our portfolio position. Based upon our total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2014 and our 70% debt to total capitalization financial covenants, we could potentially borrow an additional $1.1 billion of commercial paper under the AGL Capital Credit Facility and an additional $500 million of commercial paper under the Nicor Gas Credit Facility. As a result, based on current natural gas prices and our expected purchases during the remainder of the injection season, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to cover our working capital needs for the upcoming Heating Season.

Credit Ratings Our borrowing costs and our ability to obtain adequate and cost-effective financing are directly impacted by our credit ratings, as well as the availability of financial markets. Credit ratings are important to our counterparties when we engage in certain transactions, including OTC derivatives. It is our long-term objective to maintain or improve our credit ratings in order to manage our existing financing costs and enhance our ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms.

Credit ratings and outlooks are opinions subject to ongoing review by the rating agencies and may periodically change. The rating agencies regularly review our performance and financial condition and reevaluate their ratings of our long-term debt and short-term borrowings, our corporate ratings and our ratings outlook. There is no guarantee that a rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in its judgment, circumstances so warrant. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and each rating should be evaluated independently of other ratings.

Table of Contents

Factors we consider important to assessing our credit ratings include our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, leverage, capital spending, earnings, cash flow generation, available liquidity and overall business risks. We do not have any triggering events in our debt instruments that are tied to changes in our specified credit ratings or our stock price and have not entered into any agreements that would require us to issue equity based on credit ratings or other trigger events. The following table summarizes our credit ratings as of June 30, 2014 and reflects no change from what was reported in our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

Ratings outlook

Stable

A downgrade in our current ratings, particularly below investment grade, would increase our borrowing costs and could limit our access to the commercial paper market. In addition, we would likely be required to pay a higher interest rate in future financings, and our potential pool of investors and funding sources could decrease.

Default Provisions Our debt instruments and other financial obligations include provisions that, if not complied with, could require early payment or similar actions. Our credit facilities contain customary events of default, including, but not limited to, the failure to comply with certain affirmative and negative covenants, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness and a change of control.

Our credit facilities contain certain non-financial covenants that, among other things, restrict liens and encumbrances, loans and investments, acquisitions, dividends and other restricted payments, asset dispositions, mergers and consolidations, and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

Our credit facilities each include a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 70% at the end of any fiscal month. However, we typically seek to maintain these ratios at levels between 50% and 60%, except for temporary increases related to the timing of acquisition and financing activities. Adjusting for these items, the following table contains our debt-to-capitalization ratios for the dates presented, which are below the maximum allowed. We were in compliance with all of our debt provisions and covenants, both financial and non-financial, for all periods presented.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities The $14 million increase in cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 primarily was related to increased cash provided by (i) higher earnings year over year largely attributed to significantly colder-than-normal weather in the current year and increased price volatility that enabled us to capture value in wholesale services, (ii) inventories, net of LIFO liquidation, due to increased LIFO liquidation at Nicor Gas and increased withdrawals at our distribution and midstream operations, partially offset by a decrease in withdrawals at Sequent, and (iii) net energy marketing receivables and payables, due to higher cash received in 2014 that related to December 2013. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was largely offset by decreased cash provided by (i) trade payables, other than energy marketing, due to higher accrued volumes in December 2013 compared to December 2012, (ii) deferred natural gas costs, due to an increase in the price paid for natural gas in the first half of 2014 associated with the extremely cold weather, primarily in Illinois, that led to an under-collected position in the current year, and (iii) receivables, other than energy marketing, due to colder weather in 2014, which resulted in higher volumes primarily at distribution operations and retail operations that will be collected in future periods.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities The $113 million decrease in cash flow used in investing activities was primarily the result of our $122 million acquisition of approximately 500,000 service plans during the first quarter of 2013. This decrease was partially offset by increased spending for PP&E expenditures of $17 million.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities The increased use of cash for our financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 was primarily the result of our issuance of senior notes in May 2013 and recovery of working capital at wholesale services, partially offset by lower commercial paper repayments due to higher working capital needs at distribution operations. For more information on our debt, see Note 7 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 herein.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments We have incurred various contractual obligations and financial commitments in the normal course of business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on liquidity or the availability of requirements for capital resources. Contractual obligations include future cash payments required under existing contractual arrangements, such as debt and lease agreements. These obligations may result from both general financing activities and from commercial arrangements that are directly supported by related revenue-producing activities. Contingent financial commitments represent obligations that become payable only if certain predefined events occur, such as financial guarantees, and include the nature of the guarantee and the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required of us as the guarantor.

Other than the changes in our short-term debt, see Note 7 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 herein, there were no significant changes to our contractual obligations described in Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes as filed in Item 8 of our 2013 Form 10-K/A.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Those judgments and estimates have a significant effect on our financial statements, primarily due to the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We frequently reevaluate our judgments and estimates that are based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Each of our critical accounting estimates involves complex situations requiring a high degree of judgment either in the application and interpretation of existing literature or in the development of estimates that impact our financial statements. Except as described below, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as filed on our 2013 Form 10-K/A. Our critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the following:

· Accounting for Rate-Regulated Subsidiaries

· Derivatives and Hedging Activities

· Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, including Other Intangible Assets

· Contingencies

· Pension and Other Retirement Plans

· Provisions for Income Taxes

Goodwill During the first quarter of 2014 we conducted an engineering study that indicated a reduction in our estimated working gas capacity for a storage facility from what was projected when our 2013 annual goodwill impairment analysis was performed in the fourth quarter of 2013. Given that the 2013 annual goodwill impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of the storage and fuels reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount by less than 5%, we considered this reduced forecast of storage capacity as an indicator of potential impairment and, accordingly, conducted an interim goodwill impairment analysis during the first quarter of 2014. See “Goodwill” in Note 2 to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 herein for additional information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision of and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on their evaluation, at that time our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 was filed on July 30, 2014, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014. Subsequent to that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2014 because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below.

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In connection with the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, we concluded that there was a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

We did not maintain effective controls to appropriately apply the accounting guidance related to the recognition of allowed versus incurred costs. Specifically, the Company did not have controls to address the recognition of allowed versus incurred costs, primarily related to an allowed equity return, applied to the accounting for our regulated infrastructure programs and related disclosures that operated at a level of precision to prevent or detect potential material misstatements to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. This control deficiency could result in misstatements of the aforementioned accounts and disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, our management has concluded that the deficiency constitutes a material weakness.

As a result of the material weakness described above, the Company has revised its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, for each of the quarterly periods during the year ended December 31, 2013, and for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014.

Remediation Plan

We are committed to remediating the material weakness by implementing changes to our internal control over financial reporting. We have already implemented additional procedures to address the underlying causes of the material weakness prior to filing this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A, and we will continue to implement changes and improvements in the internal control over financial reporting to remediate the control deficiency that caused the material weakness. The following actions have been, are being, or are planned to be implemented:

·	Reviewed all existing regulatory programs to ensure the proper evaluation of deferral components and proper treatment of allowed versus incurred costs pursuant to the accounting guidance. This review was completed prior to the issuance of revised consolidated financial statements.

·	Complete training for all appropriate personnel regarding the applicable accounting guidance and requirements through meetings concurrent with the process to evaluate all infrastructure and other regulated programs.

Create a process and design controls to capture and calculate allowed versus incurred costs and to record appropriate amounts in the consolidated financial statements. The Company will identify appropriate processes, reviews and other controls to ensure accurate amounts are appropriately reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

·	The Company is also considering other improvements and enhancements, including a review of organization structure, reporting relationships and adequacy of staffing levels, among others.

Management is committed to a strong internal control environment and believes that, when fully implemented and tested, the actions described above will remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. We will continue to assess the effectiveness of our remediation efforts with our future assessments of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. As we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may determine to take additional measures to address the material weakness or determine to modify the remediation plan described above. Until the remediation steps set forth above are fully implemented, the material weakness described above will continue to exist.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
