                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 March 31, 1995
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.     The accompanying financial information includes the financial position
       of Hadson Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December
       31, 1994 and March 31, 1995, and the results of operations and changes
       in cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1995.
       The financial information is prepared in conformity with generally
       accepted accounting principles and such principles are applied on a
       basis consistent with those reflected in the 1994 Form 10-K filed with
       the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial information
       included herein, other than the consolidated balance sheet as of
       December 31, 1994, has been prepared by management without audit by
       independent certified public accountants who do not express an opinion
       thereon.  The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1994 has
       been derived from, but does not include all the disclosures contained
       in, the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended
       December 31, 1994.  Certain reclassifications have been made in the
       consolidated financial statements for periods presented in 1994 for
       consistency with amounts presented in 1995 with no effect on previously
       reported earnings.  The information furnished includes all adjustments
       and accruals consisting of normal recurring accrual adjustments which
       are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of
       results for the interim period.

2.     The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31,
       1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
       the full year.

3.     For the three month periods ended March 31, 1994 and 1995, net loss per
       common share is based upon the weighted average shares of common stock
       outstanding of 25,689,989 and 25,704,235 respectively.   Primary
       earnings per common share include the effect of common stock equivalents
       which would arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants,
       unless such effect would be anti-dilutive.  Fully diluted earnings per
       common share assume the conversion of convertible debt and equity
       securities and common stock equivalents, unless such items would be
       anti-dilutive.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are the
       same for all periods presented.

4.     The Company and certain of its subsidiaries purchase natural gas from
       and sell natural gas to Santa Fe Energy Resources, Inc.  ("Santa Fe")
       and certain of its subsidiaries.  For the three month periods ended
       March 31, 1994 and 1995, purchases from Santa Fe totalled approximately
       $30,706,000 and $17,038,000, respectively, while sales to Santa Fe
       totalled approximately $5,065,000 and $3,732,000, respectively.  Trade
       payables to Santa Fe at March  31, 1994 and 1995, were  $10,423,000 and
       10,619,000, respectively, while trade receivables from Santa Fe were
       $1,816,000 and $1,188,000, respectively.  In November 1994, certain of
       the Company's subsidiaries and Santa Fe settled a lawsuit with third
       parties.  Santa Fe funded the Company's $2,350,000 share of the
       settlement with a 10-year, 9% fixed rate balloon note with interest
       payable annually.  This note is subordinate to the Company's other
       lenders.

5.     The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that
       arise in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management,
       based in part on consultation with counsel, the amount of ultimate
       liability, if any, with respect to those actions will not have a
       material effect on the company's consolidated financial statements.

6.     On February 10, 1995, the Company and its two largest debt and equity
       holders, Santa Fe and Prudential, executed definitive agreements with
       LG&E Energy Corp. ("LG&E Energy") of Louisville, Kentucky, whereby LG&E
       Energy will acquire all of the Company's Common Stock, Senior Preferred
       Stock, New Senior Secured Notes, and Santa Fe 9% subordinated note for
       an aggregate consideration of $143,000,000 plus acquisition-related fees
       and expenses.  Pursuant to the agreements, the Company's public
       shareholders will receive $2.75 in cash for each share of the Company's
       Common Stock. These transactions ("the Merger") were completed May 15,
       1995, and resulted in the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of
       LG&E Energy.

7.     Effective January 1, 1995, the Company sold its United LP Gas
       Corporation ("United") subsidiary for a total sales price of $3,100,000
       that consisted of a $1,200,000 cash payment, a $1,000,000 note
       receivable, and $900,000 in preferred stock of the acquiring company. A
       charge of $205,000 was recognized in the Company's results of operations
       for the year ended December 31, 1994, to adjust the carrying value of
       the net assets of United to net realizable value. United contributed
       approximately $27,542,000 to consolidated revenue for the three months
       ended March 31, 1994.  Pre-tax income or loss for the same period was
       not material.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


A.       MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

         For the three months ended March 31, 1995, the Company's earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization amounted to $216,000, as
compared to $4,096,000,  for the same period in 1994.  This decline resulted
from 1994 events that had an immediate effect within the industry.  In November
1994, Sunrise Energy Company, a natural gas marketing company based in Dallas,
filed bankruptcy.  The creditworthiness of independent gas marketers similar to
the Company began to come under even greater scrutiny.  This situation was
exacerbated by the Company's recent payment delays to various suppliers.  In
December 1994, an industry trade periodical published an article that
speculated that the Company might merge or be acquired by another entity and
that the impetus for such a transaction was the Company's financial position.
This article had a very dramatic effect on many suppliers' perception of the
Company's creditworthiness and the willingness of those suppliers to grant open
trade credit.  As a result of these events, the Company experienced an
increased demand for letters of credit.  With the new level of letter of credit
demands, the Company has been unable to acquire sufficient supplies of natural
gas to maintain natural gas marketing volumes at levels which had been
experienced through November 1994;  accordingly, volumes from December 1994
through March 1995 have been below those attained earlier in 1994.

         In order for the Company to return gas marketing volumes to levels
attained during 1994, it must reestablish significant open lines of trade
credit, and, to increase volumes beyond 1994 levels, even more credit capacity
must be established either in the form of open trade lines or additional
capacity under credit agreements pursuant to which letters of credit could be
issued to suppliers. Management believes that the underlying financial
stability required to grow volumes back to and beyond 1994 levels will only
come from a significant restructuring and improvement in the Company's capital
structure.  Management anticipates that, as a result of the consummation of the
Merger, this restructuring and improvement in the Company's capital structure
will be accomplished during the remainder of 1995.

</TABLE>


         Record demand for natural gas during portions of January and February
1994 in certain parts of the country resulted in enhanced margins for the
Company in the first quarter of 1994.

         Natural gas volumes decreased in the first three months of 1995 as
compared to 1994 as a result of the previously discussed limited access to open
credit from suppliers beginning late in 1994 and continuing into 1995.  Margins
for the first three months of 1995 declined from the trend experienced in the
later half of 1994 due to the same credit issues with suppliers and due to
continuing tightening of margins resulting from competitive pressures within
the industry.

Gas Gathering, Processing and Transmission

         Average daily natural gas throughput through the Company's gathering
and transmission systems, the Company's net share of average daily NGL
production from its processing plants and NGL prices are summarized in the
following table.

Gas gathering and transmission systems:
     Natural gas throughput (MMBTU/Day)             110             128

Processing Plants:
     NGL production (MGAL/Day)                      171             201
     NGL sales price ($/GAL)                     $ .201            .208
</TABLE>


         Natural gas throughput through the Company's gathering and
transmission systems and NGL production was higher in the first three months of
1995 as compared to 1994 due to the higher utilization of pipeline systems and
processing plants acquired in December 1993.

NGL Marketing

         As previously discussed, the Company sold its NGL marketing business,
United, effective January 1, 1995.

Other

         Depreciation and amortization for the first quarter of 1995 are
greater than in the first quarter of 1994 because of the effect of the
$11,145,000 excess of 1994 capital expenditures over dispositions.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses remained stable from the
first three months of 1994 to the same period in 1995.

         Interest expense was higher in the first three months of 1995 as
compared to 1994 due primarily to a full utilization of the Company's bank
credit agreement during the first three months of 1995.

         No recently issued accounting standards are expected to have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.
