                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Mobile Gas Service Corporation, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, MGS Energy
Services, Inc., MGS Storage Services, Inc., MGS Marketing Services, Inc., its
87.5% owned partnership, Bay Gas Storage Company, Ltd. (Bay Gas), and its 51%
owned partnership, Southern Gas Transmission Company (collectively the
"Company").  Minority interest represents the respective other owner's
proportionate share of the equity of Bay Gas and Southern Gas Transmission
Company.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Note 2.          The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  All adjustments,
consisting of normal and recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods
have been made and are of a recurring nature.  The statements should be read in
conjunction with the summary of accounting policies and notes to financial
statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996.

Note 3.          Due to the high percentage of customers using gas for heating,
the Company's operations are seasonal in nature.  Therefore, the results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Note 4.          The Company issued $12,000,000 of 7.27% First Mortgage bonds
on November 26, 1996.  The bonds mature beginning November 1, 2000 and ending
November 1, 2006.

Note 5.          At the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on January 31,
1997, stockholders approved a proposed amendment to the Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Company to increase the authorized number of shares of
common stock of the Company to eight million and to reduce the par value of
such common stock from $2.50 per share to $.01 per share.  The effect of this
change on the Company's financial statements at January 31, 1997 was a
reduction in the Common Stock Par Value of $8,037,421 and an increase in the
Capital in Excess of Par Value of the same amount. The change in par value has
been retroactively reflected in the financial statements for all dates
presented.  

Note 6.          Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" (SFAS 128), was issued in February 1997 and is effective for the
Company for the quarter ending December 31, 1997.  SFAS 128 establishes
standards for computing and presenting earnings per share.  The Company does
not expect the implementation of SFAS 128 to have a significant impact on the
Company's reported earnings per share.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Mobile Gas Service Corporation (Mobile Gas), an investor owned natural gas
utility incorporated under the laws of the State of Alabama, is engaged
principally in the distribution of natural gas to customers in southwest
Alabama.  Mobile Gas serves over 100,000 residential, commercial, and
industrial customers.  Gas deliveries to these customers are regulated by the
Alabama Public Service Commission (APSC).

Bay Gas Storage Company, Ltd. (Bay Gas) is a limited partnership in which MGS
Storage Services, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Mobile Gas, is general
partner and 87.5% owner. Bay Gas operates an underground gas storage cavern
which is used to provide storage and delivery of natural gas for Mobile Gas and
other customers.  Bay Gas is a separate utility with rates regulated by the
APSC for intrastate contracts.  By Federal Energy Regulatory Commission order,
Bay Gas is permitted to charge market-based rates for interstate storage
contracts.

Unregulated operations include the sale and financing of appliances, jobbing
work, and contract and consulting work for utilities and industrial customers.

Financial Condition

The Company relies on funds provided by operations and short-term borrowings to
meet working capital requirements and to finance capital expenditures on a
temporary basis.  During the six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,
operating activities provided cash of $8,431,000 and $9,138,000, respectively.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is attributed to the
decrease in net income of $219,000, a net decrease in operating assets and
liabilities, which generally results from the timing of receipts and payments,
and an increase in the non-cash components of net income, which offset
partially the above impacts.

The Company's capital needs are due primarily to its on-going construction
program.  In addition to its normal construction program, an estimated $7
million in new facilities are under construction to service a large new
industrial customer by mid-1997.  At March 31, 1997 $4.0 million had been
expended on these facilities. Capital expenditures related to the Company's
normal construction program for the remainder of fiscal 1997 are estimated to
be $ 4.0 million.

Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended March 31, 1997
and 1996 was $6,720,000 and $4,488,000, respectively.  Several components of
financing activities contributed to this decrease.  The increase in the
repayment of long-term debt is attributed primarily to the Company exercising
its option to retire an additional $750,000 of the 10.25% First Mortgage Bonds.
Changes in short-term borrowings represent the net of borrowings and payments
on the Company's revolving credit agreement.  Of the $15,000,000 net pay-down
since September 30, 1996, $11,000,000 is related to the maturity of short-term
investments which were purchased with funds drawn on the revolving credit
agreement.  The proceeds from the maturity of these investments were applied to
the balance owed on the revolving credit agreement.  In order to fund on-going
capital projects, the Company issued $12,000,000 7.27% First Mortgage Bonds in
November 1996.

Funds for the Company's working capital and capital needs are expected to come
from cash provided by operations, the November 1996 bond issue, and draws upon
the Company's revolving credit agreement of which $20 million is available at
March 31, 1997.  Management believes it has adequate financial flexibility to
meet its expected cash needs in the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

Net income for the three, six and twelve month periods ended March 31, 1997 was
$4,861,000 or $1.49 per share, $6,900,000 or $2.12 per share, and $8,412,000 or
$2.60 per share, respectively, compared to $5,315,000 or $1.65 per share,
$7,119,000 or $2.21 per share, and $7,615,000 or $2.37 per share, respectively,
for the corresponding periods of the prior year.

Weather in the Company's service area during the three, six and twelve months
ended March 31, 1997 was 29%, 25% and 17%, respectively, warmer than the prior
year periods and 14%, 10% and 4%, respectively, warmer than normal.  Even
though sales volumes to residential and small commercial customers were down
due to warmer weather, a temperature rate adjustment implemented on November 1,
1996 helped mitigate the effect of warmer than normal weather on Company
earnings, particularly during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.  The
temperature rate adjustment is applied to the aforementioned customers' gas
bills during the months of November through April and is designed to level out
the effects of temperature extremes on Company earnings by reducing high gas
bills to customers in colder than normal weather and increasing gas revenues
received by the Company in warmer than normal weather.  For the three, six and
twelve month periods ended March 31, 1996, the impact of colder weather
increased earnings per share $.27, $.34 and $.31, respectively, compared to
earnings that would have occurred with normal weather.  The fiscal 1997 three
and six month earnings, on a weather normalized basis, showed improvement over
fiscal 1996 as a result of stable operating and maintenance expenses, improved
gas storage results, and consistent industrial load growth.   Additionally,
both the six and twelve month earnings for 1997 were positively impacted as
compared to the same prior year periods by a general rate increase which became
effective on December 1, 1995.

Gas revenues increased 4%, 5% and 10%, respectively, for the three, six and
twelve months ended March 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding periods in the
prior year.  The increase in gas revenues is due primarily to the increase in
the purchased gas adjustment component included within customer rates which was
in response to increased gas costs incurred by the Company.  Other contributing
factors for the three current year periods were increased gas storage revenues
and the recently implemented temperature rate adjustment.  Gas revenues for the
1997 six and twelve month periods were impacted also by the general rate
increase. The effects of warmer weather during the 1997 three, six and twelve
month periods resulted in a decrease of gas sold and delivered to
temperature-sensitive customers of 23%, 19% and 11%, respectively, which
partially offset the aforementioned impacts on gas revenues.

Cost of gas increased 22%, 18% and 15% for the three, six and twelve months
ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to increased gas costs per unit of purchased
gas.  The Company's rate tariffs allow a pass-through to customers of the
incurred cost of gas.  Unit gas costs were much higher during current year
periods compared to the prior year periods resulting in increased billings to
customers under the Company's purchased gas adjustment provision.

Operations and maintenance expenses decreased 7% for the second quarter of
fiscal 1997.  Factors contributing to this decrease were: increased capitalized
costs due to a higher level of construction activity, lower workers
compensation premium expense, lower promotional sales expenses, and lower
overtime pay than in last year's unusually cold winter.  The above factors were
offset partially by an increase in bad debt expense of $136,000 attributed
primarily to higher customer bills resulting from the pass-through of incurred
gas costs. Operations and maintenance expenses increased 8% for the twelve
months ended March 31, 1997.  Certain non-routine maintenance projects totaling
$450,000 were initiated and completed during the last six months of fiscal
1996.  Additionally, increased advertising, contributions and additional
personnel hired in late fiscal 1995 contributed to the twelve month increase.

Taxes, other than income taxes decreased $173,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period last year.  During fiscal 1997 
first quarter, the State of Alabama approved the Company's claim for refund 
of a business license tax.  As a result of this approval, the Company reduced
its accrued taxes, other than income taxes, by $246,000.

Interest income increased $487,000 for the twelve months ended March 31, 1997
as compared to the same period last year. An improved cash position during the 
current twelve month period provided the Company more opportunities to invest 
in short-term financial instruments.

Income tax expense changed primarily in relation to changes in pre-tax income
for the periods ended March 31, 1997.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS
128) was issued in February 1997 and is effective for the Company for the
quarter ending December 31, 1997. SFAS 128 establishes standards for computing
and presenting earnings per share. The Company does not expect the
implementation of SFAS 128 to have a significant impact on the Company's
reported earnings per share.
