ITEM 12. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The following information is furnished pursuant to Item 9 "Regulation FD
Disclosure" and Item 12 "Results of Operations and Financial Condition".

     On November 12, 2003, NUI Corporation (the "Company") held a telephone
conference call to discuss its fiscal year 2003 results. During the conference
call, information regarding the Company's quarterly and fiscal year end results
was discussed that was not included in the news released announcing the
Company's fiscal year 2003 results. In addition, during the conference call,
information was released concerning fiscal 2003 earnings guidance given by the
Company on September 26, 2003, and a statement that if certain items that the
Company considers to be non-recurring were added back into the Company's
results, the Company's actual earnings per share from continuing operations for
fiscal 2003 would have been in the guidance range given on September 26, 2003.
This information may be deemed to constitute the provision of a non-GAAP
financial measure. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the Company's
earnings from continuing operations for fiscal 2003 were $0.75. The items
considered by the Company to be non-recurring in nature totaled approximately
$0.21 per share and related to certain unexpected charges recorded during the
fourth fiscal quarter of 2003, including the severance payment paid to the
Company's former President and Chief Executive Officer, the establishment of a
tax reserve accumulated as a result of losses at NUI Energy, higher costs for
legal and outside services, higher bad debt expense and other miscellaneous
costs. Management believes that the description of the items considered to be
non-recurring in nature provides useful information to investors because it
provides information about the Company's financial performance from its
continuing operations.

     A copy of a portion of the transcript from the conference call is furnished
as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item
12.
