         New Jersey Resources Corporation (the "Company") hereby files with the
Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant to Rule 2, its statement claiming
exemption as a holding company from the provisions of the Public Utility 
Holding Company Act of 1935, and submits the following information:

         1. The Company and all of its affiliates named herein, unless otherwise
noted, are New Jersey corporations, located at 1415 Wyckoff Road, Wall, New
Jersey. The Company holds 100% of the Common Stock of New Jersey Natural Gas
Company ("NJNG"), NJR Energy Holdings Corporation ("Energy Holdings"), and NJR
Development Corporation ("NJR Development"). The Company has no independent
business operations but operates as a holding company of these and any other
subsidiaries that may be formed in the future.

         Energy Holdings, formed to better segregate the Company's
energy-related operations, holds the following wholly-owned subsidiaries:

         New Jersey Natural Energy Company ("Natrual Energy"), formed in 1995,
         participates in the unregulated retail marketing of natural gas; and
         NJR Energy Services Company ("Energy Services"), formed in 1996,
         provides unregulated fuel and capacity management and other wholesale
         marketing services;

         and

         NJR Energy Corporation ("NJR Energy"), an investor in energy-related
         ventures through its operating subsidiaries, New Jersey Natural
         Resources Company and NJNR Pipeline Company. NJR Energy's continuing
         operations consist primarily of a 2.8% equity investment in the
         Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P., a 375-mile


                                       1

         pipeline that delivers natural gas from the Canadian border to Long
         Island, New York. 

        NJR Development is a sub-holding company that holds Commercial Realty &
Resources Corp. ("Commercial Realty"), a wholly owned subsidiary formed to 
develop and own commercial office and mixed-use commercial/industrial real 
estate projects primarily in Monmouth and Atlantic counties, New Jersey. 
Commercial Realty, located at 1345 Campus Parkway, Wall, NJ 07719, currently 
owns two fully occupied buildings totalling 25,000 square feet and has about 
183 acres of undeveloped land, of which approximately 165 acres are subject to 
an option to purchase held by Cali Realty Acquisition Corp. Commercial Realty 
has retained limited rights to sell and develop the acreage that is subject to 
the options.

         Among the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries, only NJNG is a 
public utility. NJNG is engaged in the business of purchasing, distributing and
selling natural gas exclusively in the state of New Jersey, other than as 
described in Section 3(c) of this document, and provides appliance services to 
more than 389,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout 
most of Monmouth and Ocean counties and parts of Morris and Middlesex counties.

         The Company and NJNG expect, from time to time, to render to each other
certain services and to make available the use of certain personnel, facilities
and equipment. The company receiving such services or using such facilities and
equipment will reimburse the other for the cost thereof, pursuant to certain
service agreements approved by the Board of Directors of each company and by the
New Jersey Board of Public Utilities.

         2. As of December 31, 1998, NJNG owned approximately 3951 miles of
steel, wrought and cast iron distribution main, and 1848 miles of plastic
distribution main.

Additionally, NJNG owned approximately 214 miles of steel transmission main in
various sizes. NJNG also owned approximately 361,688 services and approximately
388,821 meters.

         NJNG owns and operates two liquefied natural gas storage plants located
in Stafford Township and Howell Township, New Jersey. The two NJNG plants have
an estimated maximum capacity of 20,000 and 150,000 Mcf per day, respectively.
These facilities are used for peaking supply and emergencies.

              NJNG owns two service centers, one in Atlantic Highlands and the
other in Wall, New Jersey, and owns combined service center/customer service
offices in Lakewood and Rockaway Township, New Jersey. NJNG also owns a storage
facility in Long Branch, New Jersey. NJNG leases its headquarters facilities and
a customer service office in Wall, New Jersey, a customer service office located
in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and a service center in Manahawkin, New Jersey. Each
service center houses storerooms, garages, gas distribution and appliance
service operations, and small administrative offices. The customer service
offices support customer contact, marketing and other functions.

              NJNG owns and leases certain electronic data processing equipment
and owns and leases a fleet of trucks, service vehicles, and automobiles.

             Substantially all of NJNG's properties, not expressly excepted or
duly released, are subject to the lien of an Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of
Trust to Harris Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, Illinois, dated April 1, 1952,
as amended by twenty-nine (29) Supplemental Indentures, as security for NJNG's
