                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


Retirement Committee
UGI Utilities, Inc.
Reading, Pennsylvania

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the UGI Utilities, Inc. Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of September 30, 1996
and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules listed in the
accompanying index on page 1 as of and for the year ended September 30, 1996 are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in
net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the UGI Utilities, Inc. Savings Plan (Plan)
provides general information on the provisions of the Plan in effect on
September 30, 1996 and during the periods covered by the financial statements.
More complete information is included in the Plan document.

GENERAL. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of UGI
Utilities, Inc. (UGI Utilities), its holding company parent UGI Corporation, and
certain affiliated companies (collectively, the Employers). The Plan covers
employees of the Employers having a minimum of one year of eligible service. The
Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the UGI Utilities, Inc. Retirement
Committee (Plan Administrator) appointed by the Board of Directors of UGI
Utilities.

CONTRIBUTIONS. Subject to certain limitations, a participant may elect to
contribute to the Plan on a before-tax basis through payroll reduction an amount
equal to from 1% to 6% of eligible compensation. In addition, a participant may
elect to contribute to the Plan on an after-tax basis through payroll deduction
an amount equal to from 1% to 6% of compensation provided that the combination
of before-tax and after-tax contributions does not exceed 10% of eligible
compensation. A participant may increase the rate of his or her before-tax or
after-tax contributions effective with the first payroll period after any
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (Election Dates). A participant may
reduce or suspend his or her before-tax or after-tax contributions at any time
by filing a written request with the Plan Administrator. A participant who
suspends such contributions may recommence such contributions effective the
first payroll period beginning after any subsequent Election Date. A participant
will at all times be fully (100%) vested in the portion of his or her account
attributable to participant before-tax and after-tax contributions.

For each Plan year, each of the Employers may at their discretion make a
contribution to the Plan equal to a percentage of participant before-tax and
after-tax contributions, up to a total of 6% of compensation for each eligible
participant. In order to be entitled to the Employers' matching contribution, a
participant must be actively employed by any of the Employers as of the end of
the Plan year. In addition, if a participant was employed by any of the
Employers or an affiliated company during the Plan year and is retired, disabled
(as defined), on a qualifying leave of absence, or died during the Plan year,
such participant (or designated beneficiary) is eligible for that Plan year's
matching contribution. Employers' contributions for the 1996 and 1995 Plan
years, which were made in October 1996 and October 1995, respectively, were
invested in accordance with participant investment elections in effect on the
dates of the contributions. A participant is fully vested in the portion of his
or her account attributable to Employers' matching contributions upon the
earlier of (i) the completion of five years of service or (ii) the attainment of
normal retirement age, total disability (as defined by the Plan document) or
death while in the employ of the Employers or an affiliated company.

Forfeitures of amounts attributable to the Employers' matching contributions
experienced by participants with less than fully vested interests remain in the
Plan and are available to reduce future employer matching contributions. For the
1996 and 1995 Plan years, $11,648 and $1,137, respectively, in amounts
attributable to Plan forfeitures were used to reduce the Employers' matching
contributions. During the 1996 and 1995 Plan years, participants' balances of
Employers' matching funds of $7,492 and $2,855, respectively, were forfeited. At
September 30, 1996, there were no accumulated amounts attributable to

Plan forfeitures remaining in the Plan. At September 30, 1995, there was $513 in
accumulated amounts attributable to Plan forfeitures remaining in the Plan.

INVESTMENT FUNDS. A participant may elect to have his or her funds invested in
one or more of the following types of funds:

         -          Fixed Income Fund

                    Generally, this fund consists of three-year guaranteed
                    investment contracts with insurance companies. The 1996 and
                    1993 Plan year contracts were placed with New York Life
                    Insurance Company. The 1995 and 1994 Plan year contracts
                    were placed with John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company.
                    The investment objective of the fund is to provide a fixed
                    rate of investment return guaranteed by the insurance
                    companies for a specified period of time. The 1996, 1995 and
                    1994 Plan year contracts mature on September 30, 1998, 1997
                    and 1996, respectively. The 1993 Plan year contract matured
                    on December 31, 1995.

         -          Growth and Income Equity Fund

                    This fund is offered through the Fidelity Equity Income
                    Fund, an unaffiliated registered investment company mutual
                    fund whose investments comprise principally equity
                    securities which are income oriented and structured for
                    capital appreciation.

         -          Aggressive Equity Fund

                    This fund is offered through the Fidelity Magellan Fund, an
                    unaffiliated registered investment company mutual fund whose
                    investments comprise principally equity securities of
                    domestic, foreign, and multinational issuers and whose
                    investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation over
                    an extended period of time.

         -          Money Market Fund

                    This fund is offered through the Fidelity Cash Reserves
                    Fund, an unaffiliated registered investment company mutual
                    fund whose investments comprise high-quality short-term
                    certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, commercial
                    paper or other similar short-term investments and whose
                    investment objective is to achieve current income while
                    maintaining a stable share price.

         -          Intermediate Bond Fund

                    This fund is offered through the Fidelity Intermediate Bond
                    Fund, an unaffiliated registered investment company mutual
                    fund whose investments comprise investment-

                    grade fixed income obligations including U.S. Government and
                    corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities with average
                    maturities of three to ten years.

         -          UGI Common Stock Fund

                    This fund invests in shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock.
                    Participants in the fund do not individually own specific
                    shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock but rather have an
                    interest in the fund which invests in such shares.

Effective October 1, 1996, five additional fund options were established by the
Plan. Among these changes, the Fixed Income Fund was replaced by a Stable Value
Fund offered through the Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio. Because the
Employers' contributions for the 1996 Plan Year were made subsequent to
September 30, 1996, a portion of such contributions was allocated to these funds
in accordance with then-existing participant investment elections as follows:

</TABLE>


Participants may transfer amounts between funds (excluding transfers from the
Fixed Income Fund prior to the expiration of the investment contracts) at any
time during a calendar quarter, limited to once each quarter. Participants may
also change their investment elections for future contributions any time during
the quarter (not limited to once each quarter). Participant account balances in
the Fixed Income Fund are liquidated and reinvested in accordance with
participant elections as group annuity contracts mature. In the absence of a
participant's Fixed Income Fund reinvestment election, during the 1996 Plan Year
and the 1995 Plan Year all amounts were reinvested in the Money Market Fund.

Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Plan's trustee for all investment
assets except for the Fixed Income Fund for which Mellon Bank, N.A. is the
Plan's trustee.

DISTRIBUTIONS. The Plan benefit of a participant who terminates employment on
account of retirement, death or total disability, as defined by the Plan
document, shall be equal to the proceeds of liquidation of 100% of the balance
of his or her account. A participant may elect to receive his or her interest in
the UGI Common Stock Fund in the form of shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock.
The Plan benefit of a participant who terminates employment for reasons other
than retirement, death or total disability shall be equal to the proceeds of
liquidation of the vested portion of his or her account. Where the amount to be
distributed exceeds $3,500, no distribution shall be made to any Plan
participant prior to his or her normal retirement date (the later of the fifth
anniversary of the commencement of employment, or the attainment of age 65)
unless the participant elects to receive such distribution. In those instances
in which a participant elects such a distribution of his or her account, the
date of the distribution will depend upon the timing of the receipt of the
participant's distribution election form. Where the amount to be distributed
does not

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



exceed $3,500, a Plan participant's benefit will be distributed as soon
as practicable. All distributions must be made or commence by April 1 of the
calendar year following the year in which the participant attains age 70-1/2.

If a participant dies prior to receiving a distribution of his or her account,
the participant's designated beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum
distribution of the proceeds of liquidation of 100% of the balance credited to
the participant's account. Generally, the account will be distributed to the
beneficiary as soon as practicable following the date of death. The designated
beneficiary of a participant who is married at the time of the participant's
death will be deemed to be the participant's spouse, unless the participant
designated another beneficiary and the spouse consented to such designation in
accordance with procedures specified by the Plan document.

Generally, a participant may withdraw up to 50% of the balance of his or her
account attributable to participant after-tax contributions at any time.
However, the withdrawal must be in an amount of at least $250. If any portion of
the amount withdrawn is attributable to Employer matching contributions, the
participant's participation in the Plan will be suspended for the three-month
period following the withdrawal. No more than one withdrawal in any calendar
year is permitted from each of the matched and unmatched portions of a
participant's after-tax contribution account.

A participant may withdraw before-tax contributions (and earnings attributable
thereto credited as of December 31, 1988) only on account of financial hardship
resulting from (a) medical expenses; (b) educational expenses; (c) foreclosure
on a primary residence, or (d) purchase of a primary residence. A hardship
withdrawal will be permitted if the Plan Administrator determines that (i) the
withdrawal is on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the
participant and (ii) the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy such financial need.

While a participant is still employed by any of the Employers, withdrawals of
the portion of the participant's employer matching contributions account, and
post-1988 earnings attributable to participant before-tax contributions, are not
permitted. However, such withdrawals are permitted if necessary to comply with
the requirement of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that distributions commence
by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the participant
attains age 70-1/2.

LOAN PROVISION. The Plan includes an employee loan provision. Generally, at the
time a loan is to be made, the amount of all loans to be outstanding may not
exceed the lesser of (a) 50% of a participant's before-tax account balance, or
(b) $50,000 less the highest balance of any loan during the prior twelve-month
period. Each loan bears interest at a rate determined in accordance with
generally prevailing market conditions for similar types of loans. The minimum
loan amount is $500. The amount of the loan withdrawn from a participant's
account is allocated in proportion to the value of the participant's salary
deferral account balance in each investment fund. Repayments, including
interest, are made in equal installments through payroll deductions and are
allocated to participant accounts in accordance with current investment
elections. No loan may have a final maturity in excess of five years except if
such loan proceeds are for the purchase of a principal residence in which case
such loan may have a final maturity of up to ten years.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)



ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. All administrative expenses of the Plan are chargeable
to the Plan unless paid for by the Employers. The Employers currently pay such
expenses. Mutual fund expenses are paid to fund managers from mutual fund
assets.

PLAN TERMINATION. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, UGI
Utilities has the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part. In the event
of a complete or partial termination of the Plan, the affected participants will
become fully vested in their account balances.

VOTING RIGHTS OF UGI COMMON STOCK FUND PARTICIPANTS. A participant has the right
to instruct the trustee of the Plan how to vote, at each meeting of
shareholders, all shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock (including fractional
shares) represented by the value of the participant's interest in the UGI Common
Stock Fund, and a pro rata portion of unvoted shares. A participant also has the
right to direct the trustee of the Plan whether or not to tender shares in
response to a tender offer.

2.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments, other than contracts with insurance companies, are recorded at fair
value generally based upon quoted market prices. The contracts with insurance
companies included in the Fixed Income Fund approximate fair value and represent
amounts on deposit with insurance companies plus accrued interest.

Dividend income is recorded on the record date. Interest earned on investments
is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded
on a trade date basis.

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments which
consists of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
in the fair value of those investments.

Distributions are made to Plan participants based upon the fair value of each
participant's investment account (except for investments of the Fixed Income
Fund for which distributions are based upon contract value) as of the date of
the distribution.

Transfers of participant balances represent amounts directed by participants to
be transferred within the Plan and those amounts transferred to the AmeriGas
Propane, Inc. Savings Plan, a related plan.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

The total number of Plan participants with account balances at September 30,
1996 and 1995 of 1,186 and 1,363, respectively, was less than the sum of the
numbers of participants shown in the schedule above because many participants
invest in more than one fund.

During the 1996 and 1995 Plan years, the Plan purchased at market prices 24,909
and 23,987 shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock directly from UGI Corporation
for $546,778 and $477,944, respectively.

The Plan's principal financial instruments subject to credit risk are the
investments of the separate investment funds. The degree and concentration of
credit risk varies by fund depending upon the type and diversity of investments.
The Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes depicts the types of
investment funds available and the proportionate share of assets held in each
particular investment option.

4.      FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

On July 31, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination
letter concerning the qualified status of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the
IRC. The Plan has since been amended, however, the Plan Administrator believes
that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. No U.S. income taxes are required to be paid
by the trust created under the Plan (the Trust) and participants are not taxed
on Company contributions to the Trust or income earned by the Trust. When a
participant, or his or her beneficiary or estate, receives a distribution under
the Plan, the taxability of the value of such distribution depends on the form
and time of payment.

(1)     Group annuity contracts are carried at cost plus accrued interest.
        The respective insurance companies guarantee the repayment of
        principal and the crediting of interest under these contracts. The
        timing of the remittance of participant and employer contributions
        and other participant-directed transactions may cause the actual
        yield to vary from these rates. The 1996 and 1995 Plan year
        contracts are for three-year terms. The 1994 Plan Year contract is
        for a term of two years and nine months.

(2)     Investment represents 5% or more of the net assets available for
        benefits.

(3)     Percentages represent percentage of fair value / contract value of
        each fund.

(4)     Party in interest.

(5)     Range of interest rates for loans outstanding as of September 30,
        1996.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To the Benefits Committee of
AmeriGas Propane, Inc.:

         We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Savings Plan (the Plan) as of September
30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements and the
supplemental schedules referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and supplemental schedules based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the
Plan as of September 30, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

         Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of
assets held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented
for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Fund Information in the
statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental
schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

1.       DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following brief description of the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Savings Plan
(Plan) provides general information on the provisions of the Plan in effect on
September 30, 1996 and during the periods covered by the financial statements.
More complete information is included in the Plan document.

GENERAL. The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering employees of AmeriGas
Propane, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation, "the Company") and, prior to April
19, 1995, employees of AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and
subsidiaries, and affiliates AmeriGas Management Company, AmeriGas
Transportation Management Company and AmeriGas Propane-2, Inc. (collectively,
"the Predecessor Companies"). In conjunction with the April 19, 1995 formation
of AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (the "Partnership Formation"), the employees of the
Predecessor Companies and Petrolane Incorporated (Petrolane) became employees of
the Company. However, through the date of the Petrolane Savings Plan Merger
described below, employees of the Company who were employed by Petrolane prior
to the Partnership Formation continued to participate in the Petrolane Savings
and Stock Ownership Plan (Petrolane Savings Plan). The Company, the Predecessor
Companies and Petrolane are collectively referred to herein as the Employers.
The Plan covers employees of the Employers having a minimum of one year of
eligible service. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). The Plan is administered by the
AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Benefits Committee (Plan Administrator) appointed by the
President of the Company and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

PETROLANE SAVINGS PLAN MERGER. Effective October 1, 1995, the Petrolane Savings
Plan merged into the Plan (the "Petrolane Savings Plan Merger"). The Petrolane
Savings Plan was a defined contribution plan covering certain eligible employees
of the Company who, prior to the Partnership Formation, were employees of
Petrolane. Participant account balances and related trust assets were
transferred to the Plan effective October 1, 1995 and participants in the
Petrolane Savings Plan immediately became participants in the Plan. The general
provisions of the Plan were not affected by the Petrolane Savings Plan Merger.
However, during the period October 1, 1995, through January 1996, certain
activities of former Petrolane Savings Plan participants, including interfund
transfers, loans and distributions upon termination or retirement, were
suspended to permit the orderly transfer and reconciliation of account balances
transferred pursuant to the Petrolane Savings Plan Merger.

CONTRIBUTIONS. Subject to certain limitations, a participant may elect to
contribute to the Plan on a before-tax basis through payroll reduction an amount
equal to from 1% to 6% of eligible compensation. A participant may increase the
rate of his or her contribution effective with the first payroll period after
any January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 (Election Dates). A participant may
reduce or suspend his or her contribution at any time by filing a written
request with the Plan Administrator. A participant who suspends such
contributions may recommence such contributions effective the first payroll
period beginning after any subsequent Election Date. A participant will at all
times be fully (100%) vested in the portion of his or her account attributable
to participant contributions.

                                  SAVINGS PLAN

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

For each Plan year, each of the Employers may at their discretion make a
contribution to the Plan equal to a percentage of participant contributions. For
the 1996 Plan Year, there were no Employer matching contributions. For the 1995
Plan Year, the matching rate for eligible contributions was 25%. In order to be
entitled to the Employers' matching contribution, a participant must be actively
employed by any of the Employers or an affiliated company as of the end of the
Plan year. In addition, if a participant was employed by any of the Employers
during the Plan year and is retired, disabled (as defined), on a qualifying
leave of absence, or died during the Plan year, such participant (or designated
beneficiary) is eligible for that Plan year's matching contribution. The
Employers' contribution for the 1995 Plan Year, which was made in October 1995,
was invested in accordance with participant investment elections in effect on
the date of the contribution. A participant is fully vested in the portion of
his or her account attributable to the Employers' matching contributions upon
the earlier of (i) the completion of five years of service or (ii) the
attainment of normal retirement age, total disability (as defined by the Plan
document) or death while in the employ of the Employers or an affiliated
company.

Forfeitures of amounts attributable to the Employers' matching contributions
experienced by participants with less than fully vested interests remain in the
Plan and are available to reduce future employer matching contributions. For the
1995 Plan Year, $12,648 in amounts attributable to Plan forfeitures was used to
reduce the Employers' matching contribution. During the 1996 and 1995 Plan
years, participants' balances attributable to Employers' matching funds of
$30,566 and $16,827, respectively, were forfeited. At September 30, 1996, there
were $49,804 in accumulated amounts attributable to Plan forfeitures remaining
in the Plan.

INVESTMENT FUNDS. A participant may elect to have his or her funds invested in
one or more of the following types of funds:

         -        Fixed Income Fund

                  Generally, this fund consists of three-year guaranteed
                  investment contracts with insurance companies. The 1996 and
                  1993 Plan year contracts were placed with New York Life
                  Insurance Company. The 1995 and 1994 Plan year contracts were
                  placed with John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company. The
                  investment objective of the fund is to provide a fixed rate of
                  investment return guaranteed by the insurance companies for a
                  specified period of time. The 1996, 1995 and 1994 Plan year
                  contracts mature on September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996,
                  respectively. The 1993 Plan Year contract matured on December
                  31, 1995.

         -        Growth and Income Equity Fund

                  This fund is offered through the Fidelity Equity Income Fund,
                  an unaffiliated registered investment company mutual fund
                  whose investments comprise principally equity securities which
                  are income oriented and structured for capital appreciation.

         -        Aggressive Equity Fund

                  This fund is offered through the Fidelity Magellan Fund, an
                  unaffiliated registered investment company mutual fund whose
                  investments comprise principally equity securities of
                  domestic, foreign, and multinational issuers and whose
                  investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation over
                  an extended period of time.

         -        Money Market Fund

                  This fund is offered through the Fidelity Cash Reserves Fund,
                  an unaffiliated registered investment company mutual fund
                  whose investments comprise high-quality, short-term
                  certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, commercial
                  paper or other similar short-term investments and whose
                  investment objective is to achieve current income while
                  maintaining a stable share price.

         -        Intermediate Bond Fund

                  This fund is offered through the Fidelity Intermediate Bond
                  Fund, an unaffiliated registered investment company mutual
                  fund whose investments comprise investment-grade fixed income
                  obligations including U.S. Government and corporate bonds and
                  mortgage-backed securities with average maturities of three to
                  ten years.

         -        UGI Common Stock Fund

                  This fund invests in shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock.
                  Participants in the fund do not individually own specific
                  shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock but rather have an
                  interest in the fund which invests in such shares.

Prior to October 1, 1993, participants in the former Petrolane Savings Plan
could invest their contributions in the Guaranteed Investment Contract Fund (GIC
Fund). The GIC Fund invested in guaranteed investment contracts of varying
length terms with insurance companies which contracts mature through April 1997.

Participants are permitted to transfer amounts between funds (excluding
transfers from the Fixed Income Fund and the GIC Fund prior to the expiration of
the investment contracts) at any time during a calendar quarter, limited to once
each quarter. Participants may also change their investment elections for future
contributions at any time during the quarter (not limited to once each quarter).
Participant account balances in the Fixed Income Fund and GIC Fund are
liquidated and reinvested in accordance with participant elections as group
annuity contracts mature. In the absence of a participant's reinvestment
election, during the 1996 Plan Year and the 1995 Plan Year all amounts were
reinvested in the Money Market Fund.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)


Fidelity Management Trust Company is the Plan's trustee for all investment
assets except for the Fixed Income Fund for which Mellon Bank, N.A. is the
Plan's trustee.

DISTRIBUTIONS. The Plan benefit of a participant who terminates employment as a
result of retirement, death or total disability, as defined by the Plan
document, shall be equal to the proceeds of liquidation of 100% of the balance
of his or her account. Participants may elect to receive their interest in the
UGI Common Stock Fund in the form of shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock. The
Plan benefit of a participant who terminates employment for reasons other than
retirement, death or total disability shall be equal to the proceeds of
liquidation of the vested portion of his or her account. Where the amount to be
distributed exceeds $3,500, no distribution shall be made to any Plan
participant prior to his or her normal retirement date (the later of the fifth
anniversary of the commencement of employment, or the attainment of age 65)
unless the participant elects to receive such distribution. In those instances
in which a participant elects such a distribution of his or her account, the
date of the distribution will depend upon the timing of the receipt of the
participant's distribution election form. Where the amount to be distributed
does not exceed $3,500, a Plan participant's benefit will be distributed as soon
as practicable. All distributions must be made or commence by April 1 of the
calendar year following the year in which the participant attains age 70 1/2.

If a participant dies prior to receiving a distribution of his or her account,
the participant's designated beneficiary shall be entitled to receive a lump-sum
distribution of the proceeds of liquidation of 100% of the balance credited to
the participant's account. Generally, the account will be distributed to the
beneficiary as soon as practicable following the date of death. The designated
beneficiary of a participant who is married at the time of the participant's
death will be deemed to be the participant's spouse, unless the participant
designated another beneficiary and the spouse consented to such designation in
accordance with procedures specified in the Plan document.

Generally, a participant may withdraw up to 50% of the balance of his or her
account attributable to pre-existing after-tax contributions at any time.
However, the withdrawal must be in an amount of at least $250. If any portion of
the amount withdrawn is attributable to Employer matching contributions then the
participant's participation in the Plan will be suspended for the three-month
period following the withdrawal. No more than one withdrawal in any calendar
year is permitted from each of the matched and unmatched portions of a
participant's after-tax contribution account.

A participant may withdraw before-tax contributions (and earnings attributable
thereto credited as of December 31, 1988) only on account of financial hardship
resulting from (a) medical expenses; (b) educational expenses; (c) foreclosure
on a primary residence, or (d) purchase of a primary residence. A hardship
withdrawal will be permitted if the Plan Administrator determines that (i) the
withdrawal is on account of an immediate and heavy financial need of the
participant and (ii) the withdrawal is necessary to satisfy such financial need.

While a participant is still employed by any of the Employers, withdrawals of
the portion of the participant's employer matching contributions account, and
post-1988 earnings attributable to participant before-tax contributions, are not
permitted. However, such withdrawals are permitted if necessary to comply with
the requirement of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) that distributions

commence by April 1 of the calendar year following the year in which the
participant attains age 70-1/2.

LOAN PROVISION. The Plan includes an employee loan provision. Generally, at the
time a loan is to be made, the amount of all loans to be outstanding may not
exceed the lesser of (a) 50% of a participant's before-tax account balance, or
(b) $50,000 less the highest balance of any loan during the prior twelve-month
period. Each loan bears interest at a rate determined in accordance with
generally prevailing market conditions for similar types of loans. The minimum
loan amount is $500. The amount of the loan withdrawn from a participant's
account is allocated in proportion to the value of the participant's salary
deferral account balance in each investment fund. Repayments, including
interest, are made in equal installments through payroll deductions and are
allocated to participant accounts in accordance with current investment
elections. No loan may have a final maturity in excess of five years except if
such loan proceeds are for the purchase of a principal residence in which case
such loan may have a final maturity of up to ten years.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. All administrative expenses of the Plan are chargeable
to the Plan unless paid for by the Employers. The Employers currently pay such
expenses. Mutual fund expenses are paid to fund managers from mutual fund
assets.

PLAN TERMINATION. Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
has the right to terminate the Plan in whole or in part. In the event of a
complete or partial termination of the Plan, the affected participants will
become fully vested in their account balances.

VOTING RIGHTS OF UGI COMMON STOCK FUND PARTICIPANTS. A participant has the right
to instruct the trustee of the Plan how to vote, at each meeting of
shareholders, all shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock (including fractional
shares) represented by the value of the participant's interest in the UGI Common
Stock Fund, and a pro rata portion of unvoted shares. A participant also has the
right to direct the trustee of the Plan whether or not to tender shares in
response to a tender offer.

2.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Investments, other than contracts with insurance companies, are recorded at fair
value generally based upon quoted market prices. The contracts with insurance
companies included in the Fixed Income Fund and the GIC Fund approximate fair
value and represent amounts on deposit with insurance companies plus accrued
interest.

Dividend income is recorded on the record date. Interest earned on investments
is recorded on the accrual basis. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded
on a trade date basis.

The Plan presents in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for
Benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in fair value of investments which
consists of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
in the fair value of those investments.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Distributions are made to Plan participants based upon the fair value of each
participant's investment account (except for investments of the Fixed Income
Fund and the GIC Fund for which distributions are based upon contract value) as
of the date of distribution.

Transfers of participant balances represent amounts directed by participants to
be transferred within the Plan and those amounts transferred from the UGI
Utilities, Inc. Savings Plan and other affiliated plans.

The financial statements for the 1996 Plan Year reflect the activity of the Plan
including the effects of the October 1, 1995 Petrolane Savings Plan Merger.
Accordingly, the accompanying Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as
of September 30, 1996 and the related Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits for the year then ended include the net assets of the
former Petrolane Savings Plan and the related amounts of income, appreciation
(depreciation) in fair value of investments, distributions and expenses for the
entire 1996 Plan Year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from these estimates.

The total number of Plan participants with account balances at September 30,
1996 and 1995 of 4,733 and 1,650, respectively, was less than the sum of the
numbers of participants shown in the schedule above because many participants
invest in more than one fund.

During the 1996 and 1995 Plan years, the Plan purchased at market prices 16,086
and 8,077 shares of UGI Corporation Common Stock directly from UGI Corporation
for $349,625 and $162,559, respectively.

The Plan's principal financial instruments subject to credit risk are the
investments of the separate investment funds. The degree and concentration of
credit risk varies by fund depending upon the type and diversity of investments.
The Schedule of Assets Held for Investment Purposes depicts the types of
investment funds available and the proportionate share of assets held in each
particular investment option.

4.   FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

On July 31, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service issued a favorable determination
letter concerning the qualified status of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the
IRC. The Plan has since been amended, however, the Plan Administrator believes
that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the
applicable requirements of the IRC. No U.S. income taxes are required to be paid
by the trust created under the Plan (the Trust) and participants are not taxed
on Company contributions to the Trust or income earned by the Trust. When a
participant, or his or her beneficiary or estate, receives a distribution under
the Plan, the taxability of the value of such distribution depends on the form
and time of payment.

5.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT - MERGER OF AMERIGAS PROPANE, INC. PENSION PLAN

Effective October 1, 1996, the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Pension Plan (the "Pension
Plan") was frozen and the Pension Plan's assets were merged into the Plan (the
"Pension Plan Merger"). The general provisions of the Plan were not affected by
the merger of the Pension Plan into the Plan. In order to permit the orderly
transfer and reconciliation of Pension Plan account balances, during the period
September 13, 1996 through mid-November 1996, certain activities of Plan
participants, including fund exchanges, loan withdrawals, and distributions upon
termination or retirement, were suspended.

In conjunction with the merger of the AmeriGas Propane, Inc. Pension Plan,
effective October 1, 1996, the Employer matching provisions of the Plan were
changed to provide for a non-discretionary, dollar-for-dollar match on
participants' contributions up to 5% of eligible compensation. The Employer
matching contributions will be made each pay period.
