WARRANTS

     The following discussion is a clarification of information already provided
on page 44 of the joint proxy statement/prospectus:

     As stated in the proxy  statement/prospectus,  Prudential Insurance Company
of America holds a warrant to purchase 98,599 shares of  Consolidated  Resources
common stock and,  under the terms of that warrant,  after the completion of the
consolidation,  will have the  right to  purchase  shares of Energy  Corporation
common stock. The number of shares of Energy  Corporation common stock that they
may purchase and the purchase price of those shares will be determined under the
adjustment  provisions  of the current  warrant by reference to the terms of the
consolidation  and the value of the Energy  Corporation  common stock.  Although
those  provisions  are  ambiguous,  the  number of shares of Energy  Corporation
common  stock  that may be  purchased  will be at least  equal to the  number of
shares of  Consolidated  Resources  common stock that may be purchased under the
current  warrant  and the price at which the  Energy  Corporation  shares may be
purchased will be at least equal to the value of the Energy  Corporation  common
stock upon completion of the consolidation.
