                                     PART I

ITEM 1 - BUSINESS

         GENERAL

         AlaTenn Resources, Inc. (AlaTenn or the Company) was incorporated in
         the state of Alabama in 1982 in connection with a reorganization of
         Alabama-Tennessee Natural Gas Company (Alabama-Tennessee) which was
         founded in 1944 and which has been in operation since 1950. AlaTenn is
         a diversified holding company which  is engaged in two lines of
         business: (1) energy - natural gas transmission and marketing,
         primarily through the provision of natural gas service in the lower
         Tennessee Valley area and (2) the manufacture of products for the
         health care industry. During 1994, the Company was the sole owner of
         five natural gas transmission companies, a natural gas marketing
         company, two natural gas distribution companies and one company which
         was engaged in oil and gas exploration through its participation in a
         limited partnership.  Also, in 1994 the Company, through RIC
         Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
         formed to effect the acquisition, purchased the business of Ryder
         International Corporation, a manufacturer of health care products.

         The Company's principal pipeline subsidiary, Alabama-Tennessee, is an
         interstate natural gas pipeline company engaged in the transportation
         of natural gas in the Tennessee Valley. Its main pipeline extends from
         Selmer, Tennessee approximately 130 miles across northern Mississippi
         and Alabama to Huntsville, Alabama. This system includes approximately
         288 miles of pipeline and two compressor stations.

         Because it is engaged in the transportation of natural gas in
         interstate commerce, Alabama-Tennessee is a "natural gas company" as
         defined in the Natural Gas Act of 1938. As such, it is subject to the
         jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which
         jurisdiction includes the power to regulate Alabama-Tennessee's rates
         on the transportation of natural gas for its customers, as well as the
         power to authorize the construction and operation of certain new
         facilities.





                                     - 1 -

         Tennessee River Intrastate Gas Company, Inc. (TRIGAS), one of the
         Company's intrastate pipeline subsidiaries, completed construction in
         1990 of a 38-mile, 10-inch pipeline that extends from Barton, Alabama
         to Courtland, Alabama.  In 1990, TRIGAS entered into a long-term
         agreement to transport natural gas to  an industrial customer in the
         Courtland, Alabama area.  In 1993, this customer increased its
         existing contract for a three-year period by approximately 70%.

         AlaTenn Energy Marketing Company, Inc. (ATEMCO) is the Company's
         natural gas marketing subsidiary.  ATEMCO buys natural gas primarily
         on the spot market and sells that natural gas to customers on the
         Company's interstate and intrastate pipelines, as well as to
         off-system customers.  As part of  its services, ATEMCO evaluates
         customers' supply requirements, locates natural gas supplies and
         negotiates and manages contracts for those customers.  ATEMCO also can
         arrange for the use of its customers' excess gas storage and
         transportation rights by others, generating savings for its customers.

         Two of the Company's subsidiaries, Central Gas Company (Central) and
         Tennessee River Development Company (Tennessee River), operated
         natural gas distribution systems in Alabama prior to May 3, 1991, when
         both subsidiaries sold substantially all their distribution assets to
         the City of Florence, Alabama.  Since that time, both subsidiaries
         have transported or sold natural gas to the City of Florence for
         resale to its customers.

         Hardin County Gas Company, an AlaTenn distribution subsidiary, serves
         approximately 140 customers in Hardin County, Tennessee.  In 1994,
         North Mississippi Natural Gas Corporation, which is also an AlaTenn
         distribution subsidiary sold substantially all of its distribution
         assets to a former customer and is not active at the current time.

         Vulcan Oil and Gas Company (Vulcan) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
         AlaTenn engaged in oil and natural gas exploration through its
         participation as a limited partner in Lima Resources Associates
         (Lima). Vulcan did not make any additional investments in Lima during
         1994, its thirteenth year as a limited partner. As of December 31,
         1992, the total investment in Lima had been written off by the
         Company, and Vulcan is under no obligation to invest any additional
         funds in the limited





                                     - 2 -
   5

         partnership.  The Company does not anticipate any significant income
         in the future from Lima's operations.

         In recent years, changes in the nature of Alabama-Tennessee's business
         attributable in large part to significant regulatory changes in the
         natural gas industry contributed to the emergence of ATEMCO as the
         Company's primary marketer of natural gas.  For the past several
         years, ATEMCO has been the primary seller of natural gas for the
         Company.  Sales by ATEMCO constituted 72%, 68% and 74% of the
         Company's total revenues for the years 1994, 1993 and 1992,
         respectively.  However, due to the relatively small margins on such
         sales, ATEMCO's contribution to the Company's net income was
         significantly less than its percentage of the Company's total revenues
         for each of the three years.

         Also, as a result of these regulatory changes, Alabama-Tennessee's
         customers have increasingly utilized Alabama-Tennessee to provide
         transportation services rather than sales services and have utilized
         other companies, including ATEMCO, for the purchase of their natural
         gas supplies.  While this change in the nature of its business has had
         an adverse impact on Alabama-Tennessee, ATEMCO has benefitted from the
         open-access status of Alabama-Tennessee and other pipelines and has
         made significant contributions to the Company's revenues and net
         income during the last three years.  Also, TRIGAS contributed
         materially to the Company's earnings in 1994, 1993 and 1992 as a
         result of deliveries through its pipeline.

         On April 19, 1994, the Company through RIC Acquisition Corporation, a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed to effect the
         acquisition, purchased the business of Ryder International Corporation
         by acquiring its assets, excluding cash and receivables, and assuming
         substantially all of its liabilities.  The Company paid to Ryder
         International Corporation, including post-closing adjustments, $11.1
         million in cash, issued a promissory note in the principal amount of
         $1.0 million and assumed liabilities totaling $2.2 million, for a
         total purchase price of $14.3 million.  Following the closing, RIC
         Acquisition Corporation's name was changed to Ryder International
         Corporation (Ryder).  Ryder is principally engaged in the design,
         development, manufacture and sale of proprietary products for the
         health care industry, including disposable or semi-disposable soft
         contact lens storage and disinfection





                                     - 3 -
   6

         systems and diagnostic products sold primarily by major health care
         companies.

         In 1994, the Company formed AlaTenn Pipeline Company Inc., which has
         agreed in principle with an industrial gas producer to construct and
         operate a 23-mile, 8-5/8" high pressure steel pipeline to transport
         gaseous oxygen to a large industrial customer in North Alabama.

         Beginning in 1994, with the acquisition of Ryder, the Company
         classifies its continuing operations into two industry segments,
         energy and health care products.  Unless the context otherwise
         requires, references in this report to AlaTenn or the Company mean
         AlaTenn Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

         Additional information respecting certain of the above matters is
         contained in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations and in the Notes to Consolidated
         Financial Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
         shareholders incorporated herein by reference.

         REVENUES

         During 1994, 1993 and 1992, Alabama-Tennessee accounted for 14%, 30%
         and 24% of total revenues, respectively. ATEMCO accounted for 72%, 68%
         and 74% of revenues during these same periods.  The table below
         summarizes total revenue and delivered volumes for the Company's
         pipelines as well as for its natural gas marketing and other
         subsidiaries.

         During 1994, gas marketing sales by ATEMCO totaled 22.5 million MMBtu
         of natural gas, a decrease of 11.9 million MMBtu from the 1993 volume
         of 34.4 million MMBtu.  Related revenues decreased to $51.5 million in
         1994, a reduction of $30.0 million from 1993.  These decreases in
         volumes and revenues were due to the loss of certain ATEMCO customers
         in late 1993, as described below, three of which have since returned
         to ATEMCO for sales services.  The decreases in revenues and volume
         between years were partially offset by an increase of approximately
         1.8 million MMBtu and $2.1 million in revenues from off-system sales.
         The decrease in revenues was also attributable to a decrease in the
         price of natural gas purchased and sold.  Natural gas prices decreased
         by approximately 14% in 1994 compared with 1993.  Gas marketing sales
         in 1993 totaled 34.4 million MMBtu of natural gas, a decrease of 11.3
         million MMBtu from the 1992 volume of 46.3 million MMBtu. Related
         revenues decreased to $81.5 million in 1993, a reduction of $9.4
         million from 1992.  Approximately 7.1 million MMBtu and $13.5 million
         in revenues of such decreases between years are attributable to a
         reduction in off-system sales.  This decrease in revenues from 1992
         was partially offset by an increase in the price of natural gas
         purchased and sold.  For a description of recent changes in ATEMCO's
         contractual relationship with certain of its municipal customers, see
         "Competition" below.

         Alabama-Tennessee receives a fee for transportation services to its
         customers which is set by the FERC. However, the transportation fee is
         much lower than the total consideration Alabama-Tennessee otherwise
         received in prior periods when it provided a bundled sales and
         transportation service because the cost of natural gas is not included
         when only transportation service is provided.  During 1994, 1993 and
         1992, almost all volumes delivered through Alabama-Tennessee's
         pipeline were transportation volumes.  In 1993, as a result of changes
         in the natural gas industry brought about by FERC Order 636,
         Alabama-Tennessee's sales customers converted their firm sales service
         on Alabama-Tennessee to firm transportation service, and also acquired
         Alabama-Tennessee's firm capacity on Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company
         (TGP), an upstream pipeline.  The conversion of sales service to
         transportation service along with the upstream assignments resulted in
         decreased revenues by Alabama-Tennessee because (1) transportation
         service does not include a gas cost component as does a bundled sales
         and transportation





                                     - 5 -
   8

         service and (2) the assignment of upstream capacity on TGP required
         those customers to pay TGP directly, thereby removing those revenues
         from Alabama-Tennessee.

         During 1994, 1993 and 1992, ATEMCO sold approximately 50%, 74% and
         92%, respectively, of the natural gas delivered on the Company's
         pipelines, enabling the Company in 1993 and 1992 to maintain sales
         levels on its pipelines comparable to those prior to the
         implementation of open-access transportation service (see Regulation).
         However, on November 1, 1993, ATEMCO's contract with the municipal
         customers on the Company's pipeline system terminated and some of
         those customers chose to make other arrangements for gas supply, using
         a marketing company other than ATEMCO. Three of those customers,
         however, have since begun using ATEMCO again.  Those customers
         formerly contracting with ATEMCO for their gas supply which are now
         utilizing different marketing companies accounted for 29% of the
         Company's revenues, but only $0.1 million of the Company's net income,
         for the twelve-month period ended October 31, 1993.  Also, as a result
         of increased deliveries to an industrial customer which could not
         obtain alternate fuels due to the flooding on the Mississippi River,
         Alabama-Tennessee was able to increase its deliveries in 1993 above
         prior year levels.  Increased deliveries to an industrial customer on
         the TRIGAS pipeline also  resulted in a substantial increase in
         deliveries in 1993 through that pipeline.

         In 1994, two industrial customers, Champion International Corporation
         and Amoco Chemicals Corporation, accounted for approximately 32% and
         12%, respectively, of the Company's operating revenues. For
         information regarding recent developments related to the City of
         Decatur, see "Competition" below.

         Approximately 59% of Alabama-Tennessee's natural gas throughput in
         1994 was delivered to 17 municipal customers serving 28 communities,
         including several industrial customers located within those
         communities.  Alabama-Tennessee serves most of the communities
         extending from Selmer, Tennessee to Huntsville, Alabama, including
         portions of northeast Mississippi, the Muscle Shoals area of northwest
         Alabama, and Athens, Decatur and Huntsville, Alabama.  The remaining
         41% of Alabama- Tennessee's throughput was delivered directly to 6
         industrial users.  Approximately 99% of TRIGAS's throughput was
         delivered to one





                                     - 6 -
   9

         industrial customer while the remaining 1% was delivered to a single
         resale customer.

         Alabama-Tennessee's business is seasonal in nature and is strongly
         influenced by weather conditions. Natural gas deliveries on
         Alabama-Tennessee's pipeline system tend to be higher in the winter
         months due to increased consumption for residential heating. Natural
         gas deliveries during the summer months decline as a result of lower
         residential usage.  Sales by ATEMCO to municipal customers on the
         Company's pipelines also tend to be seasonal in nature, while sales to
         industrial users are not normally impacted by weather changes.
         TRIGAS, the Company's intrastate pipeline, is less subject to such
         seasonal fluctuations because the majority of its deliveries are to
         two industrial users whose usage does not change as a result of
         weather conditions.

         Ryder, the Company's health care products subsidiary, is engaged in
         the design, development , manufacture and sale of proprietary products
         used in the health care industry.  Ryder's products are generally
         manufactured through an injection molding process, using
         state-of-the-art equipment.  These products include disposable and
         semi-disposable soft contact lens storage and disinfection systems
         which are marketed to major health care companies worldwide in
         conjunction with their name-brand products.  Ryder also produces a
         range of diagnostic devices, including products used in blood
         analysis, tissue biopsies and microbiological testing which major
         health care companies market and distribute to hospitals, clinics,
         surgical centers, physicians and other health care providers.  Ryder
         develops working models or prototypes that allow its customers  to
         test products in their own markets.  As a result of its development of
         various products and engineering solutions, Ryder currently holds more
         than 100 design and use patents.  Ryder relies on patents and
         contracts to protect its proprietary technology.  Ryder generally
         enters into confidentiality agreements with its employees, consultants
         and customers and limits access to and distribution of its
         documentation and other proprietary information.  In 1994, Ryder spent
         approximately $.5 million for research and development of new products
         or improvements to existing product lines.  Typically, Ryder bears the
         expense of the product-development phase and then enters into
         long-term contracts with its customers which allow Ryder to retain
         exclusive world-wide manufacturing rights to the products it has





                                     - 7 -
   10

         developed.  Ryder employs a limited number of sales persons who make
         direct contact with potential customers who may have need of Ryder's
         services. Currently, more than 20% of Ryder's products are shipped to
         international markets.

         AVAILABILITY OF NATURAL GAS SUPPLY AND RAW MATERIALS

         Alabama-Tennessee's historical supplier of natural gas under firm
         contract until the implementation of FERC Order 636 (See Regulation)
         was TGP, a subsidiary of Tenneco, Inc.   In November 1993,
         Alabama-Tennessee assigned all of its firm transportation and storage
         entitlement on the TGP system to its resale customers.  By so doing,
         Alabama-Tennessee gave those customers the ability to obtain gas
         supplies from various suppliers and to transport such supply on a firm
         basis on the TGP system to Alabama-Tennessee for ultimate delivery to
         the resale customers' facilities.

         On September 1, 1993, Alabama-Tennessee converted the balance of its
         capacity on TGP to firm transportation service as a result of
         regulatory changes requiring the implementation by TGP of FERC Order
         636, which resulted in the "unbundling" of sales and transportation
         service on regulated pipelines.  Effective September 1, 1993,
         Alabama-Tennessee also implemented Order 636 allowing its customers to
         convert firm sales capacity on Alabama-Tennessee to firm
         transportation service.  Alabama-Tennessee, as required by Order 636,
         assigned to its customers the firm transportation service which it
         held on TGP, giving its customers firm transportation service on both
         Alabama-Tennessee and its upstream pipeline.  The assignment of these
         firm transportation and storage rights enhanced these customers'
         flexibility in acquiring and maintaining gas supplies by allowing them
         to benefit from recent changes in the natural gas industry (see
         Regulation).

         During 1994, transportation services by Alabama-Tennessee constituted
         100% of its throughput.  As a result of FERC Order 636, as noted
         above, Alabama-Tennessee will have no future obligation to provide a
         sales service to its customers.





                                     - 8 -
   11

         ATEMCO, the Company's marketing subsidiary, generally purchases
         natural gas on the spot market, but has contracted for longer-term
         supplies as required to meet its commitments to its customers.  In all
         cases in which ATEMCO contracts for long-term supplies, matching
         long-term sales contracts are also obtained that allow ATEMCO to serve
         as a conduit between the producer and the end-user of the natural gas
         without incurring the risk of shortfalls in either the demand or
         supply.  These spot market and long-term arrangements should provide
         ATEMCO with an adequate supply of natural gas in 1995.

         In 1990, ATEMCO entered into a 15-year contract with a producer to
         purchase up to 20,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day.  ATEMCO obtained
         this supply to meet a matching sales obligation with an industrial
         customer.  During 1993, this industrial customer increased its supply
         requirements by 9,000 MMBtu per day.  At that time, ATEMCO entered
         into new agreements with a natural gas producer to secure a source of
         supply to meet this increased obligation (see Revenues).

         Ryder purchases high-grade resin and other minor components for its
         manufacturing process from various suppliers.  The resin is a readily
         available material and, while Ryder is selective in its choice of
         suppliers, it believes that there are no significant restrictions or
         limitations on supply.

         COMPETITION

         Except for natural gas deliveries to four municipal customers and one
         industrial customer from other intrastate pipelines,
         Alabama-Tennessee's and TRIGAS's pipelines currently are the only
         pipelines utilized by their customers to access upstream pipelines and
         supplies of natural gas. The principal competitive fuels for
         industrial and commercial purposes are coal and fuel oil. Electricity
         is the main competition for residential uses.

         In the past, Alabama-Tennessee's profitability was a function of its
         ability to sell natural gas as a merchant. As a result of changes
         adopted by the FERC which required pipelines to offer equal access to
         their pipelines to all customers, Alabama- Tennessee was under
         pressure to reduce sales margins on sales to industrial customers in
         1987 and 1988 and to provide lower-margin transportation services for
         industrial customers which chose to buy natural gas directly from
         third parties.  Also, as





                                     - 9 -
   12

         a result of FERC Order 636, Alabama-Tennessee was required to
         substitute firm transportation service for its firm sales service to
         its industrial customers, effective September 1, 1993.  These
         substitutions have resulted in reductions in margins on
         Alabama-Tennessee as these customers will pay only FERC regulated
         transportation rates.  As these customers have converted their firm
         sales entitlement to firm transportation service, ATEMCO has generally
         been able to negotiate contracts with certain of these customers to
         maintain a portion of the sales margins previously earned by Alabama-
         Tennessee.

         ATEMCO buys and resells natural gas primarily on the spot market,
         resulting in a gross margin equal to the difference between the
         purchase price and the resale price of such gas.  ATEMCO has a
         long-term agreement to supply natural gas for a plant expansion on the
         TRIGAS pipeline.  Almost all of ATEMCO's other contracts are
         shorter-term agreements.  Through its knowledge of the industry and
         contacts with industry personnel, ATEMCO identifies potential natural
         gas markets, contracts for the sale of natural gas to these markets,
         contracts for the purchase of natural gas from suppliers and arranges
         for the transportation of the natural gas over one or more pipeline
         systems.  ATEMCO's success is highly dependent upon its ability to
         find and market competitively-priced natural gas.

         Regulatory changes culminating with FERC Order 636 have given
         customers on Alabama-Tennessee's pipeline system increased flexibility
         over the past few years in contracting directly with producers and
         marketing companies for their natural gas supplies.  ATEMCO's service
         contracts with its municipal customers on Alabama-Tennessee's pipeline
         system terminated as of October 31, 1993 and on November 1, 1993,
         ATEMCO entered into new two-year contracts with several of these
         municipal customers.  Of those municipal customers who opted to
         contract with other natural gas suppliers, three have since returned
         to ATEMCO.  Regulatory changes have enabled ATEMCO to provide certain
         new services, the income from which should more than offset the
         decline in net income attributable to the loss of some of its
         customers.

         The City of Decatur, which accounted for approximately 16% of
         Alabama-Tennessee's pipeline throughput in 1994, received
         authorization from the FERC in 1994 to connect directly to TGP via a
         proposed 37-mile pipeline to be constructed and operated





                                     - 10 -
   13

         by Decatur, and thereby bypass Alabama-Tennessee's facilities.  Should
         Decatur construct the pipeline and by-pass Alabama- Tennessee's
         pipeline system, Alabama-Tennessee would attempt to resell Decatur's
         capacity to other customers and would be permitted by the FERC to seek
         from Alabama-Tennessee's remaining customers the revenues lost as a
         result of this by-pass.  The FERC has also granted authorization for
         three of Decatur's major industrial customers to obtain natural gas
         service directly from Alabama-Tennessee, thus bypassing Decatur.  As
         of the end of 1994, one of these customers, Monsanto Company, had
         already begun to receive service directly from the Company.  This
         bypass of Decatur, and similar bypasses, would have the effect of
         reducing or eliminating the adverse impact of the municipality's
         by-pass of Alabama-Tennessee's pipeline system.

         Ryder, the Company's health care products subsidiary, manufactures
         products for certain major health care companies and is dependent on
         several customers for the majority of its sales.  The loss of one or
         more of these customers would have a material adverse impact on the
         health care products segment of the Company.  Also, the fact that
         Ryder's products are somewhat limited in number and  normally are only
         a component of the ultimate product sold by Ryder's customers,
         requires Ryder to be continually attentive to the need to manufacture
         such products at competitive prices and in compliance with strict
         manufacturing standards.  Depending on the product and the nature of
         the project, Ryder competes on the basis of its ability to provide
         engineering and design expertise as well as on the basis of product
         and price.   Ryder believes that its expertise and reputation for
         quality products have allowed it to compete favorably with respect to
         each such factor and to maintain long-term relationships with these
         customers.

         To the extent that each Ryder product is sold to a single customer,
         Ryder is dependent on the ability of that customer to sell its
         products, of which Ryder's products are a component.  Therefore, Ryder
         seeks to choose highly successful companies with which to do business.
         This risk is somewhat minimized by Ryder's ability to obtain long-term
         exclusive manufacturing rights while its customers have long-term
         marketing rights.

         REGULATION

         Alabama-Tennessee is subject to the Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act of
         1968, as amended, which regulates pipeline safety requirements, and to
         the National Environmental Policy Act and other environmental
         legislation.  Alabama-Tennessee has a continuing program of inspection
         designed to keep all of its facilities in compliance with
         environmental and pipeline safety requirements.

         Also, as an interstate natural gas pipeline company, Alabama-Tennessee
         is subject to the jurisdiction of the FERC (under the Natural Gas Act
         of 1938 and other federal legislation) with respect to interstate
         sales and transportation of natural gas, certain rates and charges,
         construction of new facilities, extension or abandonment of services
         and facilities, accounts and records, depreciation and amortization
         policies and certain other related matters. Alabama-Tennessee holds
         certificates of public convenience and necessity issued by the FERC
         authorizing it to construct and operate all pipelines, facilities and
         properties which it now operates, and to transport natural gas in
         interstate commerce in instances where such certificates are required.
         As necessary, Alabama-Tennessee files with the FERC applications for
         changes in its transportation rates and charges which are designed to
         allow it to recover its costs of providing such services to its
         customers, as well as a reasonable return on its investment.  These
         rates are normally allowed to become effective, subject to refund,
         until such time as the FERC determines the just and reasonable rates.

         On April 1, 1993, Alabama-Tennessee increased its jurisdictional rates
         from rates that had been in effect since April 1, 1990.  This rate
         increase was agreed to in an uncontested settlement with
         Alabama-Tennessee's customers which the FERC has approved.  As a
         result of this settlement, Alabama-Tennessee realized an increase in
         its jurisdictional revenue of approximately $400,000 per year which
         was offset by the lower recovery of certain demand charges, resulting
         in a net decrease of approximately $350,000 per year compared with
         actual jurisdictional revenues realized in the 12 months ended May 31,
         1992, the base period used in the rate filing.

         During the past few years, the FERC has issued a series of orders
         which have resulted in significant changes in the natural gas
         industry.  The primary thrust of these new orders has been to bring
         increased competition to the transportation and sale of natural gas in
         interstate commerce.  Among other things, the regulations promulgated
         by the FERC:  (1) require interstate pipelines that provide
         self-implementing transportation to do so for all other shippers on a
         nondiscriminatory basis ("open-access transportation"); (2) require
         open-access pipelines to establish rates which remove incentives
         favoring the pipeline's merchant function; (3) permit the customers of
         open-access pipelines to convert firm sales entitlement to firm
         transportation service; and (4) make available to pipelines an
         optional expedited certificate process to institute new services and
         to construct and operate facilities relating to those new services,
         provided that the pipelines file for and accept a blanket
         transportation certificate to perform open-access transportation and
         that the pipeline assume certain market risks.

         During 1992, the FERC issued Order Nos. 636, 636-A and 636-B,
         (collectively referred to as the "Restructuring Rule").  Under the
         Restructuring Rule, which is pending review by certain federal
         appellate courts, all interstate natural gas pipelines were required
         to make a number of changes in the structure of the services which
         they provide prior to the end of 1993.  Among other things, the
         Restructuring Rule required interstate pipelines to revise their
         tariffs to reflect a separating or "unbundling" of their sales
         services from their transportation services and the provision of all
         transportation services on a basis that is equal in quality for all
         natural gas supplies, whether purchased from the pipeline or from any
         other natural gas supplier.  The Restructuring Rule also provides that
         pipelines would be allowed to collect from their customers the
         prudently incurred "transition costs" associated with the changes
         required by these orders, including gas supply realignment costs.

         Alabama-Tennessee implemented restructured services on its system as
         of September 1, 1993 in compliance with the FERC's orders under the
         Restructuring Rule.

         From 1988 through 1992, Alabama-Tennessee's firm supplier of natural
         gas, TGP, passed on to its customers certain take-or-pay costs paid
         to its producers.  During the same period, Alabama-Tennessee sought to
         recover from its customers the take-or-pay





                                     - 13 -
   16

         costs passed through to it by TGP.  In accordance with the allocation
         method required by the FERC at the time, the Company recorded a
         provision of $6.4 million, net of income taxes, in 1989 for its
         estimate of the nonrecoverable portion of its take-or-pay obligation.
         However, changes in the allocation methodology employed by the FERC
         and agreements with customers in 1991 resulted in a favorable
         after-tax adjustment of $3.4 million in the estimate for
         non-recoverable take-or-pay expense.  Based on this favorable
         adjustment and a favorable settlement with the Internal Revenue
         Service in 1993 concerning the Company's treatment of take-or-pay
         payments and collections in certain tax returns, the Company recorded
         income in 1993 of $3.6 million, reduced by income taxes of $1.3
         million.

         1988, Alabama-Tennessee has reduced its ultimate take-or-pay
         obligation to TGP by $22.3 million through December 31, 1994.  As of
         that date, Alabama-Tennessee had an unpaid balance owed to TGP, under
         the settlement, of $0.7 million, including interest.

         For more information on take-or-pay matters, see Note 4 of Notes to
         Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's 1994
         Annual Report to shareholders incorporated herein by reference.

         herein by reference.

         PEOPLE

         At December 31, 1994, the Company had 159 full-time employees, 40 of
         which are employed by Alabama-Tennessee.  AlaTenn and its energy
         related subsidiaries of the Company are managed and operated by
         Alabama-Tennessee's employees and have no employees of their own.
         Ryder employs 119 full time employees in the health care products
         segment.

         Employee relations are good and there has not been any work stoppage
         due to labor disagreements. None of the Company's employees is
         represented by any labor union.



ITEM 2 - PROPERTIES

         The headquarters of the Company and its subsidiaries are  located in a
         Company-owned office building in Sheffield, Alabama.

         Alabama-Tennessee has approximately 288 miles of transmission pipeline
         and two compressor stations. Its primary transmission pipeline extends
         from an interconnection with TGP's pipeline near Selmer, Tennessee
         approximately 130 miles eastward across northern Mississippi and
         Alabama to Huntsville, Alabama. The system interconnects with TGP's
         Kinder- Portland line near Corinth, Mississippi and its Delta-Portland
         line near Barton, Alabama. The system also interconnects with the
         Columbia Gulf Transmission Pipeline near Corinth and with the Texas
         Eastern Transmission Pipeline near Barton.  Pipe sizes range from
         2-inch to 16-inch, including 74 miles of 12-inch, 97 miles of 10-inch,
         48 miles of 8-inch, 51 miles of 6-inch and 18 miles of various other
         diameters. These transmission pipelines are located primarily on
         rights-of-way held under easement, license or permit





                                     - 15 -
   18

         on lands owned by others. None of Alabama-Tennessee's properties  is
         subject to any liens.  Alabama-Tennessee's pipeline system  is
         certificated by the FERC to deliver approximately 133,000 MMBtu per
         day of natural gas to its customers.

         TRIGAS has 38 miles of 10-inch pipeline, extending from Barton,
         Alabama to Courtland, Alabama.

         Ryder's manufacturing facilities are located on a 67-acre campus in
         Arab, Alabama.  Ryder has three office buildings which house
         administrative, engineering and design operations and which jointly
         contain approximately 27,000 square feet of work space.  The
         manufacturing facility, situated on the same location, contains
         approximately 112,000 square feet of manufacturing space.

         During 1991, two of the Company's distribution subsidiaries, Central
         Gas Company and Tennessee River Development Company, sold
         substantially all of their distribution pipeline service lines to the
         City of Florence, Alabama.  The Company's two remaining natural gas
         distribution subsidiaries have 11 miles of distribution pipeline. The
         Company's investment in these systems at original cost is
         approximately $300,000.

         For further information on Properties, see System Map included
         herewith as Exhibit 99.

ITEM 3 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         For information concerning regulatory proceedings, see Item 1 above
         under the caption "Regulation" and see Note 3 of the Notes to
         Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report
         to shareholders incorporated herein by reference.

         There were no other material pending legal proceedings to which the
         Company or any of its subsidiaries was a party, or of which any of
         their property was the subject, as of December 31, 1994.
