TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The Company allocates certain corporate costs to Energen Resources and Alagasco based on the nature of the expense to be allocated using various factors including, but not limited to, total assets, earnings, or number of employees. The Company’s cash management program seeks to minimize borrowing from outside sources through inter-company lending. Under this program, Alagasco may borrow from but does not lend to affiliates. Alagasco had net trade receivables from affiliates of $4.7 million and $5.7 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income and expense between affiliates is calculated monthly based on the market weighted average interest rate. Alagasco had $18,000 in affiliated company interest revenue during the year ended December 31, 2013. Alagasco had $0.3 million and $0.4 million in affiliated company interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
