Retail Operations. If you have a retail store set up in your home, you’re in violation. If you sell Avon, Xxxx Xxx, or online sales, you’re probably OK. Signage Each community is different. Some communities allow no signs whatsoever on the property. Some may allow a few square feet attached directly to the dwelling. Big flashing signs and neon lighting can pretty well assure you of violation. Forbidden Businesses There may be certain businesses that are absolutely forbidden. Though this will vary from community to community, usually beauty shops, auto repair shops, manufacturing of jewelry are some that are usually forbidden. Often it will relate to chemicals that are typically used in the business, or aesthetic problems. For example, a home auto repair shop with several cars in disrepair waiting in the driveway and on the street would definitely detract from the residential area and guarantee to make your neighbors angry, and justifiably so.
Retail Operations. The companies in our retail operations segment market natural gas and related home services, such as appliance repair and gas and electric line protection plans. This segment also offers products that provide protection and comfort services as well as natural gas price risk and utility bill management services. Companies within our retail operations segment include SouthStar, Nicor Advanced Energy, Nicor Solutions and Nicor Services. Our retail operations businesses generate earnings through the sale of natural gas to residential, commercial and industrial customers, primarily in Georgia and Illinois where we capture spreads between wholesale and retail natural gas prices. We offer our customers energy-related products that provide for natural gas price stability and utility bill management. These products mitigate and/or eliminate the risks to customers of colder-than-normal weather and/or changes in natural gas prices. We charge a fee or premium for these services. We also collect monthly service fees and customer late payment fees. We evaluate the combination of these two retail price components to ensure such pricing is structured to cover related retail customer costs, such as bad debt expense, customer service and billing, and lost and unaccounted-for gas, and to provide a reasonable profit, as well as being competitive to attract new customers and maintain market share. Through our commercial operations, we optimize storage and transportation assets and effectively manage commodity risk, which enables SouthStar to maintain competitive retail prices and operating margin. SouthStar, a joint venture currently owned 85% by us and 15% by Piedmont, markets natural gas and related services to retail customers on an unregulated basis, primarily in Georgia under the trade name Georgia Natural Gas. SouthStar also serves retail customers primarily in Ohio, Florida and New York. We have no contractual rights to acquire Piedmont’s remaining 15% ownership interest. SouthStar is governed by an executive committee, which comprises six members, three representatives from AGL Resources and three representatives from Piedmont. Under the joint venture agreement, all significant management decisions require the unanimous approval of the SouthStar executive committee; accordingly, our 85% financial interest is considered to be noncontrolling. We record the earnings allocated to Piedmont as a noncontrolling interest in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and we record ...

CES currently transports natural gas on over 00 xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx. CES maintains a portfolio of natural gas supply contracts and firm transportation agreements to meet the natural gas requirements of its customers. CES aggregates supply from various producing regions and offers contracts to buy natural gas with terms ranging from one month to over five years. In addition, CES actively participates in the spot natural gas markets in an effort to balance daily and monthly purchases and sales obligations. Natural gas supply and transportation capabilities are leveraged through contracts for ancillary services including physical storage and other balancing arrangements. As described above, CES offers its customers a variety of load following services. In providing these services, CES uses its customers' purchase commitments to forecast and arrange its own supply purchases and transportation services to serve customers' natural gas requirements. As a result of the variance between this forecast activity and the actual monthly activity, CES will either have too much supply or too little supply relative to its customers' purchase commitments. These supply imbalances arise each month as customers' natural gas requirements are scheduled and corresponding natural gas supplies are nominated by CES for delivery to those customers. CES' processes and risk control environment are designed to measure and value all supply imbalances on a real-time basis to ensure that CES' exposure to commodity price and volume risk is kept to a minimum. The value assigned to these volumetric imbalances is calculated daily and is known as the aggregate Value at Risk (VaR). In 2005, CE...
