Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2007, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls are effective. The Company made the following change to its internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2007. In connection with the filing of a Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company identified and disclosed a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting. It is the opinion of management that this control weakness was an isolated instance related to a one-time transaction and did not otherwise impact our disclosure controls or our internal controls over financial reporting. In regards to the identified material weakness, the Company undertook remediation measures that include a more formal evaluation of the income tax implications of material non-routine transactions.

Board of Directors and Stockholders

RGC Resources, Inc.

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of RGC Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2007 and 2006 and for the two years then ended, and have issued our report thereon dated November 14, 2007 (which report expresses an unqualified opinion and includes the audit of adjustments to the 2005 financial statements to retrospectively reflect the Bluefield, West Virginia and Virginia operations and the energy marketing business as discontinued operations as described in Note 2); such financial statements and report are included in your 2007 Annual Report to Stockholders and are incorporated herein by reference. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of the Company listed in Part IV, Item 15 of the Form 10-K for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the adjustments as of and for the year ended September 30, 2005 to retrospectively reflect the Bluefield, West Virginia and Virginia operations and the energy marketing business as discontinued operations. This financial statement schedule is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion based on our audits. In our opinion, the financial statement schedule as of and for the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 and the adjustments as of and for the year ended September 30, 2005 to reflect the Bluefield, West Virginia and Virginia operations and energy marketing business as discontinued operations, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The financial statements of RGC Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2005, and for the year then ended, before the adjustment to reflect the Bluefield, West Virginia and Virginia operations and the energy marketing business as discontinued operations as described in Note 2, were audited by other auditors whose report, dated December 15, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. In addition, the prior auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial statement schedule, before the effects of the retrospective adjustments for the discontinued operations of the energy marketing division, the discontinued operations of Bluefield Gas Company, and the change in reportable segments discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
