Provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935
NEW JERSEY RESOURCES CORPORATION
For the Calendar Year Ending December 31, 1999
<PAGE> 2
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"), which
participates in the unregulated retail marketing of natural gas; and
NJR Energy Services Company ("Energy Services"), which provides
unregulated fuel and capacity management and other wholesale
marketing services; and
NJR Energy Corporation ("NJR Energy"), which invests 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

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 that
develops and owns 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, New Jersey 07719
currently owns two fully occupied buildings totalling 25,000 square feet and has
about 183 acres of undeveloped land. As of November 7, 1999, the undeveloped
land is no longer subject to any option to purchase.
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 400,000 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, 1999, NJNG owned approximately 4,003 miles of
steel, wrought and cast iron distribution main, and 1,880 miles of plastic
distribution main.

<PAGE> 4
Additionally, NJNG owns approximately 214 miles of steel transmission main in
various sizes, approximately 372,422 services and approximately 414,822 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 leases 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
bonded debt which totaled approximately $217,845,000 at December 31, 1999.
