Note to Financial Statements
Basis of Presentation
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the financial statements of SDG&E Funding LLC, a Delaware special-purpose limited-liability company whose sole member is San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), a provider of electric and natural-gas services. SDG&E is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy. Information in this quarterly report is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with SDG&E Funding LLC's Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
SDG&E Funding LLC believes that the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. All material adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
SDG&E Funding LLC was organized for the limited purposes of issuing Notes and holding and servicing Transition Property. Notes are SDG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-7 (presented in the financial statements as Long-Term Debt), secured by the Transition Property and other, limited collateral. Transition Property is the right to be paid a specified amount (presented in the financial statements as Transition Property) from nonbypassable charges, frequently referred to as FTA Charges, levied on residential electric customers and small commercial electric customers of SDG&E. The nonbypassable charges were authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) pursuant to the electric industry restructuring mandated by California Assembly Bill 1890, as amended by California Senate Bill 477.
Since SDG&E Funding LLC is a single-member, limited-liability company, its federal income tax effects and its State of California franchise tax effects accrue to SDG&E.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of SDG&E Funding LLC (the Note Issuer) is in an abbreviated format pursuant to Instruction H of Form 10-Q. Such analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Note to Financial Statements included in Item 1 above and the Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in the Note Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The Note Issuer is limited by its organizational documents to engaging in the activities of owning certain property created pursuant to the California Public Utilities Code (the Transition Property) and issuing SDG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-7 (the Notes) secured by the Transition Property and other limited collateral, and related activities. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between the Note Issuer and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee (the Indenture). The Note Issuer sold the Notes to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Special Purpose Trust SDG&E-1, a Delaware business trust (the Trust), which issued certificates corresponding to each class of the Notes in a public offering.
Operating statement effects are limited primarily to income generated from the Transition Property, interest expense on the Notes and incidental investment interest income. The Note Issuer expects to use collections with respect to the Transition Property to make scheduled principal and interest payments on the Notes. Interest income earned on the Transition Property is expected to offset (1) interest expense on the Notes, (2) amortization of debt-issuance expenses and the discount on the Notes, and (3) the fees charged by SDG&E for servicing the Transition Property and providing administrative services to the Note Issuer.
Collections of $20,753,000 resulted in a net undercollection for the three months ended September 30, 2003, of $168,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of $20,627,000, payments of $212,000 for servicing fees and other expenses, and $82,000 retained to fund the Overcollateralization Account established under the Notes' indenture. Collections of $25,210,000 resulted in a net overcollection for the three months ended September 30, 2002, of $3,326,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of $21,549,000, payments of $253,000 for servicing fees and other expenses, and $82,000 retained to fund the Overcollateralization Account established under the Notes' indenture.
Collections of $66,100,000 resulted in a net overcollection for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, of $2,434,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of $62,755,000, payments of $665,000 for servicing fees and other expenses, and $246,000 retained to fund the Overcollateralization Account established under the Notes' indenture. Collections of $77,576,000 resulted in a net overcollection for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, of $7,662,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of $65,686,000, payments of $788,000 for servicing fees and other expenses, $1,562,000 retained to fund the Overcollateralization Account established under the Notes' indenture and $1,878,000 retained to fund the Capital Sub-Account that had been depleted during 2001 due to undercollections (see below).
During 2001, a net undercollection arose because of decreases in customer consumption in response to the California energy crisis. Any such undercollections are deducted from the previous surplus collections, the Overcollateralization Sub-Account established under the Notes' indenture and the Capital Sub-Account, in that order. In December 2001 SDG&E re-forecasted future consumption patterns and a new FTA rate was set for January 1, 2002 and beyond. The FTA Charges are adjusted at least annually if there is a material shortfall or overage in collections. Management believes that it is reasonable to expect future collections of FTA Charges to be sufficient to make scheduled payments on the Notes and pay related expenses on a timely basis.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The company has designed and maintains disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives and necessarily applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of other possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the company as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no significant changes in the company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the company completed its evaluation.
