PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

San Diego Gas & Electric Company is an operating public utility organized and
existing under the laws of the State of California. SDG&E is engaged
principally in the electric and natural gas business. It generates and
purchases electric energy and distributes it to 1.1 million customers in San
Diego County and a portion of Orange County, California. It also purchases
natural gas and distributes it to 690,000 customers in San Diego County. In
addition, it transports electricity and natural gas for others. Factors
affecting SDG&E's utility operations include competition, population growth,
customers' bypass of its electric and gas system, nonutility generation,
changes in interest and inflation rates, environmental and other laws,
regulation, and deregulation.

SDG&E's diversified interests include three wholly owned subsidiaries: Enova
Corporation, which invests in affordable-housing projects; Califia Company,
which conducts leasing activities; and Pacific Diversified Capital Company,
which is a holding company for SDG&E's other subsidiaries. PDC owns an
80-percent share in Wahlco Environmental Systems, a supplier of air pollution
control and energy-saving products and services for utilities and other
industries. PDC's wholly owned subsidiary, Phase One Development is a
commercial real estate developer. Additional information concerning SDG&E's
subsidiaries is described in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 in the
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders and in Note 2 of the "Notes to Financial
Statements" beginning on Page 32 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Local Regulation

SDG&E has separate electric and gas franchises with the two counties and 25
cities in its service territory. These franchises allow SDG&E to locate
facilities for the transmission and distribution of electricity and gas in
the streets and other public places. The franchises do not have fixed terms,
except for the following:

GRANTOR TYPE EXPIRATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------
City of Chula Vista Electric and gas 1997
City of Encinitas Electric and gas 2012
City of San Diego Electric and gas 2021
City of Coronado Electric and gas 2028
City of Escondido Gas 2036
County of San Diego Gas 2030
- --------------------------------------------------------------

State Regulation

The California Public Utilities Commission consists of five members appointed
by the governor and confirmed by the senate. The commissioners serve
six-year terms and have the authority to regulate SDG&E's rates and
conditions of service, sales of securities, rate of return, rates of
depreciation, uniform systems of accounts, examination of records, and
long-term resource procurement. The CPUC also conducts various reviews of
utility performance and conducts investigations into various matters, such as
the environment, deregulation and competition, to determine its future
policies.

The California Energy Commission has discretion over electric demand
forecasts for the state and for specific service territories. Based upon
these forecasts, the CEC determines the need for additional plants and for
conservation programs. The CEC sponsors alternative-energy research and
development projects, promotes energy conservation programs, and maintains a
statewide plan of action in case of energy shortages. In addition, the CEC
certifies power plant sites and related facilities within California.

4

Federal Regulation

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulates electric rates involving
sales for resale, transmission access, rates of depreciation and uniform
systems of accounts. The FERC also regulates the interstate sale and
transportation of natural gas.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission oversees the licensing, construction and
operation of nuclear facilities. NRC regulations require extensive review of
the safety, radiological and environmental aspects of these facilities.
Periodically, the NRC requires that newly developed data and techniques be
used to reanalyze the design of a nuclear power plant and, as a result,
requires plant modifications as a condition of continued operation in some
cases.

Licenses and Permits

SDG&E obtains a number of permits, authorizations and licenses in connection
with the construction and operation of its electric generating plants.
Discharge permits, San Diego Air Pollution Control District permits and NRC
licenses are the most significant examples. The licenses and permits may be
revoked or modified by the granting agency if facts develop or events occur
that differ significantly from the facts and projections assumed in granting
the approval. Furthermore, discharge permits and other approvals are granted
for a term less than the expected life of the facility. They require
periodic renewal, which results in continuing regulation by the granting
agency.

Other regulatory matters are described throughout this report.

Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders and in "Rate Regulation" and "Electric Operations"

ELECTRIC OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

SDG&E's philosophy of providing adequate energy at the lowest possible cost
has been based on a combination of production from its own plants and
purchases from other producers. The purchases have been a combination of
short-term and long-term contracts and spot purchases. All resource
acquisitions are obtained through a competitive bidding process. This method
of acquisition is encouraged by both the CPUC and the CEC. It is likely this
process will continue into the foreseeable future in California. To date,
competitive bidding has been limited to generation sources and has not
included energy conservation measures that could reduce the need for
generation capacity. However, the CPUC has recently ordered utilities in the
state to implement pilot demonstration projects to allow others to
competitively bid to supply energy conservation services to utilities'
customers.

RESOURCE PLANNING

In 1992 the CPUC issued a decision on the Biennial Resource Plan Update
proceedings. As a result of the decision, SDG&E was required to allow
qualified nonutility power producers that cogenerate or use renewable energy
technologies to competitively bid for a portion of SDG&E's future capacity
needs. The decision also required SDG&E to implement energy-conservation
programs which would reduce SDG&E's future need for additional capacity. In
addition, the CPUC granted SDG&E the flexibility to determine how best to
meet its remaining capacity requirements.

In 1993 SDG&E was involved in various stages of completing three separate
solicitations for new power sources. These three solicitations include
contract negotiations for short-term purchased power ranging from 200 to 700
mw for the period 1994 through 1997, the BRPU auction for 491 mw of capacity
by 1997, and competitive bidding to determine whether the proposed 500-mw
South Bay Unit 3 Repower project could be replaced by lower-cost power.
Additional information concerning resource planning is discussed in
"Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

ELECTRIC RESOURCES

Based on generating plants in service and purchased power contracts in place
as of January 31, 1994, the net megawatts of firm electric power available to
SDG&E during the next summer (normally the time of highest demand) are as
follows:

SOURCE NET MEGAWATTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Nuclear generating plants 430
Oil/gas generating plants 1,611
Combustion turbines 332
Long-term contracts with other utilities 675
Short-term contracts with other utilities 342
Contracts with others 217
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 3,607
- ------------------------------------------------------------------

SDG&E'S 1993 system peak demand of 2,850 mw occurred on September 8, when the
net system capability, including power purchases, was 3,474 mw. SDG&E's
record system peak demand of 3,285 mw occurred on August 17, 1992, when the
net system capability was 3,669 mw.

NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANTS

SDG&E owns 20 percent of the three nuclear units at San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station. The cities of Riverside and Anaheim own a total of 5
percent of SONGS 2 and 3. Southern California Edison Company owns the
remaining interests and operates the units.

6

In November 1992 the CPUC issued a decision to permanently shut down SONGS 1.

The NRC requires that SDG&E and Edison file a decommissioning plan in 1994,
although final dismantling will not occur until SONGS 2 and 3 are also
retired. The unit's spent nuclear fuel has been removed from the reactor and
stored on-site. In March 1993 the NRC issued a Possession-Only License for
SONGS 1, and the unit is expected to be in its final long-term permanently
defueled storage condition by April 1994.

SONGS 2 and 3 began commercial operation in August 1983 and April 1984,
respectively. SDG&E's share of the capacity is 214 mw of SONGS 2 and 216 mw
of SONGS 3.

Between 1991 and 1993, SDG&E spent $83 million on capital modifications and
additions for all three units and expects to spend $26 million in 1994 on
SONGS 2 and 3. SDG&E deposits funds in an external trust to provide for the
future dismantling and decontamination of the units. The shutdown of SONGS
1 will not affect contributions to the trust. For additional information,
see Note 5 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" beginning on
Page 32 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

In 1983 the CPUC adopted performance incentive plans for SONGS that set a
Target Capacity Factor range of 55 to 80 percent for SONGS 2 and 3. Energy
costs or savings outside that range are shared equally by SDG&E and its
customers. Since the TCF was adopted, these units have operated above 55
percent for each of their fuel cycles. In addition to always attaining the
minimum TCF, SONGS 2 and 3 have exceeded the range a total of four times in
the eleven completed cycles. However, there can be no assurance that they
will continue to achieve a 55 percent capacity factor.

Additional information concerning the SONGS units is described under
"Environmental, Health and Safety" and "Legal Proceedings" herein and in
"Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders
and in Notes 5 and 9 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements"
beginning on Page 32 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

OIL/GAS GENERATING PLANTS

SDG&E's South Bay and Encina power plants are equipped to burn either fuel
oil or natural gas. The four South Bay units went into operation between
1960 and 1971 and can generate 690 mw. The five Encina units began operation
between 1954 and 1978 and can generate 921 mw. SDG&E sold and leased back
Encina Unit 5 (315 mw) in 1978. The lease term is through 2004, with renewal
options for up to 15 additional years.

SDG&E has 19 combustion turbines that were placed in service from 1966 to
1979. They are located at various sites and are used only in times of peak
demand.

The Silver Gate plant is in storage and its 230 mw are not included in the
system's capability. Silver Gate is not currently scheduled to return to
service. The plant would have to comply with various environmental rules and
regulations before returning to service. The cost of compliance could be
significant.

Additional information concerning SDG&E's power plants is described under
"Environmental, Health and Safety," "Electric Resources" and "Electric
Properties" herein and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders.

The commitment with CFE is for energy and capacity. The others are for
capacity only. The capacity charges are based on the costs of the generating
facilities from which purchases are made. These charges generally cover
costs such as lease payments, operating and maintenance expenses,
transmission expenses, administrative and general expenses, depreciation,
state and local taxes, and a return on the seller's rate base (if a utility)
or other markup on the seller's cost.

Energy costs under the CFE contract are indexed to changes in Mayan crude oil
prices and the dollar/peso exchange rate. Energy costs under the other
contracts are based primarily on the cost of fuel used to generate the power.

The locations of the suppliers which have long-term contracts with SDG&E and
the primary transmission lines (and their capacities) used by SDG&E are shown
on the following map of the Western United States. The transmission capacity
shown for the Pacific Intertie does not reflect the effects of the temporary
earthquake damage discussed under "Transmission Arrangements - Pacific
Intertie" herein. Where applicable, interconnection to the primary lines is
provided by contract.

and energy by purchase, sale or exchange during emergencies and at other
mutually determined times.

10

SDG&E is a participant in the Western Systems Power Pool, which involves an
electric power and transmission rate agreement with utilities and power
agencies located from British Columbia through the western states and as far
east as the Mississippi River. The 54 investor-owned and municipal
utilities, state and federal power agencies, and energy brokers share power
and information in order to increase efficiency and competition in the bulk
power market. Participants are able to target and coordinate delivery of
cost-effective sources of power from outside their service territories
through a centralized exchange of information.

TRANSMISSION ARRANGEMENTS

In addition to interconnections with other California utilities, SDG&E has
firm transmission capabilities for purchased power from the Northwest, the
Southwest and Mexico.

Pacific Intertie

SDG&E, PG&E and Edison share transmission capacity on the Pacific Intertie
under an agreement that expires in July 2007. The Pacific Intertie enables
SDG&E to purchase and receive surplus coal and hydroelectric power from the
Northwest. SDG&E's share of the intertie is 266 mw. SDG&E recently
purchased up to an additional 200 mw of firm rights on the Pacific Intertie
through 1996. In January 1994 a major earthquake centered in Los Angeles
County, California temporarily reduced SDG&E's share of the intertie's
available capacity to about 100 mw. Repairs to the transmission facilities
are scheduled to be completed in December 1994. SDG&E does not expect this
to have a significant impact on its transmission capabilities within
California.

Southwest Powerlink

SDG&E's 500-kilovolt Southwest Powerlink transmission line, which it shares
with Arizona Public Service Company and IID, extends from Palo Verde, Arizona
to San Diego and enables SDG&E to import power from the Southwest. SDG&E's
share of the line is 914 mw, although it can be less, depending on specific
system conditions.
Mexico Interconnection

Mexico's Baja California Norte system is connected to SDG&E's system via two
230-kilovolt interconnections with firm capability of 408 mw. SDG&E uses
this interconnection for transactions with CFE.

Additional Transmission Capabilities

Through an agreement with Edison, SDG&E has obtained the option to purchase
100 mw of transmission service on the existing Palo Verde - Devers
transmission line in the late 1990s. The agreement is contingent upon
Edison's construction of its second transmission line connecting the Palo
Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona to the Devers substation near
Palm Springs, California. This agreement also provides SDG&E with the option
to exchange up to 200 mw of Southwest Powerlink transmission rights for up to
200 additional mw of Edison's rights on the first Palo Verde - Devers
transmission line. This exchange would enable both utilities to further
diversify their transmission paths.

SDG&E has indicated an interest in projects to obtain additional transmission
capabilities from the Rocky Mountain and Southwest regions and within
California.

TRANSMISSION ACCESS

As a result of the enactment of the National Energy Policy Act of 1992, the
FERC has established rules to implement the Act's transmission access
provisions. These rules specify FERC-required procedures for others'
requests for transmission service. Additional information regarding
transmission access is described in "Management's Discussion & Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

FUEL AND PURCHASED-POWER COSTS

The following table shows the percentage of each electric fuel source used by
SDG&E and compares the costs of the fuels with each other and with the total
cost of purchased power:

Percent of Kwh Cents per Kwh
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1993 1992 1991 1993 1992 1991
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fuel oil 3.7% 0.6% 0.7% 2.7 4.0 4.2
Natural gas 24.4 27.4 22.7 3.4 3.1 3.2
Nuclear fuel 17.2 22.3 20.9 0.6 0.8 0.9
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total generation 45.3 50.3 44.3
Purchased power-net 54.7 49.7 55.7 3.5 3.8 3.5
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost of purchased power includes capacity costs as well as the costs of
fuel. The cost of natural gas includes transportation costs. The costs of
fuel oil, natural gas and nuclear fuel do not include SDG&E's capacity costs.

While fuel costs are significantly less for nuclear units than for other
units, capacity costs are higher.

ELECTRIC FUEL SUPPLY

Uranium

The nuclear fuel cycle includes services performed by others. These services
and the dates through which they are under contract are as follows:

Mining and milling of uranium concentrate(1) 1994
Conversion of uranium concentrate to uranium hexafluoride 1995
Enrichment of uranium hexafluoride(2) 1998
Fabrication of fuel assemblies 2000
Storage and disposal of spent fuel(3) _

1 SDG&E's contracted supplier of uranium concentrate is Pathfinder Mines
Corporation. However, the majority of the requirements will be supplied by
purchases from the spot market.

2 The Department of Energy is committed to offer any required enrichment
services through 2014.

3 Spent fuel is being stored at SONGS, where storage capacity will be
adequate at least through 2003. If necessary, modifications in fuel-storage
technology can be implemented that would provide, at additional cost, on-site
storage capacity for operation through 2014, the expiration date of the NRC
operating license. The DOE's plan is to make a permanent storage site for the
spent nuclear fuel available by 2010.

To the extent not currently provided by contract, the availability and the
cost of the various components of the nuclear fuel cycle for SDG&E's nuclear
facilities cannot be estimated at this time.

Pursuant to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, SDG&E entered into a
contract with the DOE for spent fuel disposal. Under the agreement, the DOE
is responsible for the ultimate disposal of spent fuel. SDG&E is paying a
disposal fee of $1 per megawatt-hour of net nuclear generation. Disposal
fees average $3 million per year. SDG&E recovers these disposal fees in
customer rates.

Additional information concerning nuclear fuel costs is discussed in Note 9
of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" beginning on Page 32 of
the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

12

Fuel Oil

SDG&E has no long-term commitments to purchase fuel oil. The use of fuel oil
is dependent upon price differences between it and alternative fuels,
primarily natural gas. During 1993 SDG&E burned 1.1 million barrels of fuel
oil. Fuel oil usage in 1994 will depend on its price relative to natural gas
and the availability of natural gas and other alternatives. The
lowest-priced fuel will be used in order to minimize fuel costs for electric
generation.

NATURAL GAS OPERATIONS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SDG&E purchases natural gas for resale to its customers and for fuel in its
electric generating plants. All natural gas is delivered to SDG&E under
transportation and storage agreement with Southern California Gas Company
through two transmission pipelines with a combined capacity of 400 million
cubic feet per day. During 1993 SDG&E purchased approximately 102 billion
cubic feet of natural gas.

The majority of SDG&E's natural gas requirements are met through contracts of
less than one year. SDG&E purchases natural gas primarily from various
spot-market suppliers and from suppliers under short-term contracts. These
supplies originate in New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas and are transported by
El Paso Natural Gas Company and by Transwestern Pipeline Company. In
November 1993 natural gas deliveries to SDG&E commenced under long-term
contracts with four Canadian suppliers when the Alberta-to-California
pipeline expansion project began commercial operation. This natural gas is
transported over Pacific Gas Transmission and PG&E pipelines to SDG&E's
system. The contracts have varying terms through 2004.

Additional information concerning SDG&E's gas operations is described under
"Legal Proceedings" herein and in "Management's Discussion & Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders and Note 9 of the "Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements" beginning on Page 32 of the 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders.

RATE REGULATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following ratemaking procedures are changing under SDG&E's proposed
incentive-based ratemaking process which is described further under
"Performance-Based Ratemaking" below:

BASE RATES

Traditionally, SDG&E has filed a general rate application with the CPUC every
three years to determine its base rates. This allows SDG&E to recover its
basic non-fuel business costs such as the cost of operating and maintaining
the utility system, taxes, depreciation and the cost of accommodating system
growth. Between these general rate cases, an attrition procedure allows
adjustments in rates based on inflation and system growth. In addition,
SDG&E files an annual application to establish its cost of capital, which
reflects the cost of debt and equity. The most recent attrition and cost of
capital proceeding went into effect on January 1, 1994.

FUEL AND ENERGY RATES

The CPUC requires balancing accounts for fuel and purchased energy costs and
for sales volumes. The CPUC sets balancing account rates based on estimated
costs and sales volumes. Revenues are adjusted upward or downward to reflect
the differences between the authorized and actual volumes and costs. These
differences are accumulated in the balancing accounts and represent amounts
to be either recovered from customers or refunded to them. Periodically, the
CPUC adjusts SDG&E's rates to amortize the accumulated differences. As a
result, changes in SDG&E's fuel and purchased power costs or changes in
electric and gas sales volumes normally have not affected SDG&E's net income.

13

ELECTRIC FUEL COSTS AND SALES VOLUMES

Rates to recover electric fuel and purchased power costs are determined in
the Energy Cost Adjustment Clause proceeding. This proceeding take place
annually, although a semi-annual review is required if the anticipated rate
change exceeds a specified threshold. The proceedings take place in two
phases:

In the forecast phase, prices are set based on the estimated cost of fuel and
purchased power for the following year and are adjusted to reflect any
changes from the previous period. These adjustments are made by amortizing
any accumulation in the balancing accounts described above.

In the other phase, the reasonableness review, the CPUC evaluates the
prudence of SDG&E's fuel and purchased power transactions, electric
operations, and natural gas transactions and operations. As described under
"Performance-Based Ratemaking" these reviews will now only be required if
SDG&E's recorded fuel and energy expenses result in significant variances
from the established benchmarks.

The Electric Revenue Adjustment Mechanism compensates for variations in sales
volume compared to the estimates used for setting the non-fuel component of
rates. ERAM is designed to stabilize revenues, which may otherwise vary due
to changes in sales volumes largely resulting from weather fluctuations. Any
accumulation in the ERAM balancing account is amortized when new rates are
set in the ECAC proceeding.

NATURAL GAS COSTS AND SALES VOLUMES

Customer rates to recover the cost of purchasing and transporting natural gas
are determined in the Biennial Cost Allocation Proceeding. The BCAP
proceeding normally occurs every two years and is updated in the following
year for purposes of amortizing any accumulation in the gas balancing
accounts. Transportation costs include intrastate and interstate pipeline
charges, take-or-pay obligations, industry restructuring costs resulting from
changes in federal and state regulations, and transportation and storage
fees.

Balancing accounts for natural gas costs and sales volumes are similar to
those for electric costs and sales volumes. The natural gas balancing
accounts include the Purchased Gas Account for gas costs and the Gas Fixed
Cost Account for sales volumes. Balancing account coverage includes both
core customers (primarily residential and commercial customers) and noncore
customers (primarily large industrial customers). However, SDG&E receives
balancing account coverage on 75 percent of noncore GFCA overcollections and
undercollections.

OTHER COSTS

Energy Conservation Programs

Over the past several years, SDG&E has promoted conservation programs to
encourage efficient use of energy. The programs are designed to conserve
energy through the use of energy-efficiency measures that will reduce
customers' energy costs and offset the need to build additional power plants.

The costs of these programs are being recovered through electric and natural
gas rates. The programs contain an incentive mechanism that could increase
or decrease SDG&E's earnings, depending upon the performance of the programs
in meeting specified efficiency and expenditure targets. The CPUC has
encouraged expansion of these programs, authorizing expenditures annually of
$54 million for 1993 through 1995. However, the CPUC has also ordered
utilities to conduct a test program to determine if others could offer energy
conservation services at a lower cost than the utilities'.

Low Emission Vehicle Programs

Since 1991 SDG&E has conducted a CPUC-approved natural gas vehicle program.
The program includes building refueling stations, demonstrating new
technology, providing incentives and converting portions of SDG&E's fleet
vehicles to natural gas. The cost of this program is being recovered in
natural gas rates.

In 1993 SDG&E opened 14 refueling stations at existing gasoline stations
under cost-sharing arrangements with major oil companies in order to
demonstrate that natural gas is an economical alternative vehicle fuel that

14

could assist automobile companies in meeting federal and state clean air
standards. SDG&E plans to add eight more natural gas refueling stations in
1994. During 1993 there were 356 natural gas vehicles operating in San
Diego.

In July 1993 the CPUC issued a decision adopting guidelines for utility
participation in the CPUC's low-emission vehicle program to encourage the use
of electric and natural gas-powered vehicles. The six-year program will
provide funding to build natural gas vehicle refueling stations and electric
vehicle recharging stations, offer incentives for purchasing EVs and NGVs,
convert existing vehicles, and educate the public on the benefits of
alternative fuels. On November 1, 1993 SDG&E filed an application with the
CPUC, requesting $26 million to fund an EV program and to expand its existing
NGV program beginning in 1995. On February 3 the CPUC approved a portion of
SDG&E's EV program request by establishing a memorandum account for planned
expenditures of $530,000 for EV recharging stations and customer incentives
to purchase EVs. A final CPUC decision is expected in late 1994.

PERFORMANCE-BASED RATEMAKING

In October 1992 SDG&E applied to the CPUC to implement performance-based
ratemaking, requesting incentive regulation for: 1) natural gas procurement
and transportation; 2) electric generation and purchased energy; 3) base
rates and 4) long-term electric resource procurement.

On June 23, 1993 the CPUC approved the first two mechanisms on a two-year
experimental basis beginning August 1, 1993. These mechanisms will measure
SDG&E's ability to purchase and transport natural gas, and to generate energy
or purchase short-term energy at the lowest possible cost, by comparing
SDG&E's performance against various market benchmarks. SDG&E's shareholders
and customers will share in any savings or excess costs within predetermined
ranges.

Under the natural gas procurement and transportation mechanism, if SDG&E's
natural gas supply and transportation expenses exceed the benchmark by more
than 2 percent, SDG&E will recover one-half of the excess. However, if
expenses fall below the index, SDG&E's shareholders and customers will share
equally in the savings.

The benchmark to measure SDG&E's electric generation and purchased energy
performance is based upon the difference between SDG&E's actual and
authorized electric fuel and short-term purchased energy expenses. SDG&E
would be at risk for about one-half of the expenses that exceed the
authorized amount by 6 percent or less. SDG&E would be allowed to recover
expenses exceeding the 6 percent range, subject to a reasonableness review by
the CPUC. However, SDG&E would receive about one-half of the savings if
expenses fall below the authorized amount by 6 percent or less. SDG&E's
customers would receive 100 percent of the savings if expenses fall below the
6 percent range.

Under the proposed base-rate mechanism, SDG&E would forego its next General
Rate Case, scheduled for 1996, and utilize the proposed base-rate mechanism
for a 5-year period beginning in May 1994. SDG&E's initial revenue
requirements would be based on its 1993 General Rate Case Decision. This
would replace the CPUC's requirement for a costly and detailed examination of
SDG&E's costs every three years in the traditional General Rate Case.
However, SDG&E's annual cost of capital proceeding would be continued. This
streamlined approach would also allow SDG&E to respond more effectively to
competition and to other factors affecting rates.

The proposed base-rate mechanism has three components. The first is a
formula similar to the current attrition mechanism used to determine SDG&E's
annual revenue requirement for operating, maintenance and capital
expenditures. The second is a set of indicators which determine performance
standards for customer rates, employee safety, electric system reliability
and customer satisfaction. Each indicator specifies a range of possible
shareholder benefits and risks. SDG&E could be penalized up to a total of
$21 million should it fall significantly below these standards or earn up to
$19 million if it exceeds all of the performance targets. The third
component would set limits on SDG&E's rate of return. If SDG&E realizes an
actual rate of return that exceeds its authorized rate of return by one
percent to one and a half percent, it would be required to refund 25 percent
of the excess over one percent to customers. If SDG&E's rate of return
exceeds the authorized level by more than one and a half percent, SDG&E would
also refund 50 percent of that excess to customers. SDG&E would be at risk
if its rate of return falls less than three percent below the authorized
level. However, if SDG&E's rate of return falls three percent or more below

15

the authorized level, a rate case review would automatically occur. SDG&E
may request a rate case review any time its rate of return drops one and one
half percent or more below the authorized level. A CPUC decision is expected
in the second quarter of 1994.

SDG&E expects the long-term electric resource procurement mechanism to be
addressed after proceedings on the base-rate mechanism. This mechanism calls
for a bidding system under which SDG&E would compete with other utilities and
nonutility producers to provide long-term generating resources, including
long-term purchased-power capacity, to SDG&E customers. This mechanism would
eliminate the Biennial Resource Plan Update proceeding, replacing it with a
market-based approach to long-term electric-resource procurement. The CPUC
would have final approval of the resources selected by SDG&E.

ELECTRIC RATES

The average price per kilowatt-hour charged to electric customers was 9.4
cents in 1993 and 9.3 cents in 1992.

NATURAL GAS RATES

The average price per therm of natural gas charged to customers was to 55.1
cents in 1993 and 50.7 cents in 1992.

Additional information concerning rate regulation is described in
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

SDG&E's operations are guided by federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations governing air quality, water quality, hazardous substance
handling and disposal, land use, and solid waste. Compliance programs to
meet these laws and regulations increase the cost of electric and natural gas
service by requiring changes or delays in the location, design, construction
and operation of new facilities. SDG&E may also incur significant costs to
operate its facilities in compliance with these laws and regulations and to
mitigate or clean up the environment as a result of prior operations of SDG&E
or others. The costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations
are normally recovered in customer rates. The CPUC is expected to continue
allowing the recovery of such costs, subject to reasonableness reviews.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS

Scientists are researching the possibility that exposure to power frequency
magnetic fields causes adverse health effects. This research, although often
referred to as relating to electric and magnetic fields, or EMFs, focuses on
magnetic fields. To date, some laboratory studies suggest that such exposure
creates biological effects, but those effects have not been shown to be
harmful.

The studies that have most concerned the public are epidemiological studies.
Some of those studies reported a weak correlation between the proximity of
homes to certain power lines and equipment and childhood leukemia. Other
studies reported weak correlations between computer estimates of historic
exposure and disease. Various wire configuration categories and the
historical computer calculations were used as substitutes for actual personal
exposure measurements, which were not available. When actual field levels
were measured in those studies, no correlation was found with disease.

Other epidemiological studies found no correlation between estimated exposure
and any disease. Scientists cannot explain why some studies using estimates
of past exposure report correlations between estimated fields and disease,
while others do not. Neither can scientists explain why no studies correlate
measured fields with disease.

In November 1993 the CPUC adopted an interim policy regarding EMFs.
Consistent with the more than twenty major scientific reviews of available
research literature, the CPUC concluded that no health risk has been
identified with exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields. To be responsive
to public concern and scientific uncertainty, the CPUC created two
utility-funded programs, a $2-million public-education program and a

16

$6-million research program, and directed utilities to adopt a low-cost EMF
reduction policy for new projects. The latter program, which will be
implemented until science provides more direction, entails reasonable design
changes to new projects to achieve a noticeable reduction of magnetic-field
levels. The CPUC indicated that these low-cost measures to reduce field
levels should not exceed 4 percent of the cost of new or upgraded facilities.

Such design changes will be subject to safety, reliability, efficiency and
other normal operational criteria. It is difficult at this time to predict
the impact of the CPUC's directives on SDG&E's operations. Final design
guidelines should be completed by mid-1994, following a series of workshops
scheduled by the CPUC.

Litigation concerning EMFs is discussed under "Legal Proceedings" herein.

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES

BKK Corporation

SDG&E was one of several hundred companies using the BKK Corporation's West
Covina facility, which operated under a permit for the disposal of hazardous
waste prior to its 1984 closure. The site is listed for cleanup in the
California Superfund Site Priority List under the Hazardous Substance Account
Act, which imposes cleanup liability on the sites' owners, operators or
users. The California Department of Toxic Substances Control is working with
the site owner/operator to determine whether a post-closure permit should be
issued for the facility. In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency is overseeing BKK's assessment of potential releases from the site,
including releases into the groundwater, to determine whether any remediation
will be required. SDG&E believes the site owner/operator will perform any
required assessment and remedial activities. SDG&E is unable to estimate the
cost of cleaning up the site or what liability, if any, it may have for such
cleanup costs.

SDG&E was named as a potentially responsible party with respect to two other
sites, the Rosen's Electrical Equipment Supply Company site in Pico Rivera,
California and the North American Environmental, Inc. site in Clearfield,
Utah. Additional information concerning these sites is described in
"Management's Discussion & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

Waste Water Treatment

SDG&E is authorized to operate the waste water treatment facilities at the
Encina and South Bay power plants under the California Hazardous Waste
Treatment Permit Reform Act of 1992. To comply with the state's regulations,
construction of secondary containment for the waste water treatment
facilities will be completed in 1994 at a total cost of $3 million. New
waste water storage tanks for these facilities, completed in 1991, may not be
operated under the plants' existing permits. SDG&E received authorization to
operate the new tanks from the California Department of Toxic Substances
Control pursuant to a variance from the hazardous waste facility permitting
requirements. In June 1993 this variance was withdrawn due to a change in
the department's policy. SDG&E is negotiating the terms and conditions of a
stipulation and order which would allow the continued operation of these
storage tanks. However, the state could withhold authorization and initiate
an enforcement action (and the imposition of fines and penalties), preventing
continued operation of the storage tanks. Alternative treatment methods,
which would not require the use of such tanks, may require additional
expenditures of approximately $2 million per year. However, the state is
expected to issue new regulations in 1994 which would allow continued
operation of the existing storage tanks.

Aboveground Tanks

California's 1989 Aboveground Petroleum Storage Act requires SDG&E to
establish and maintain monitoring programs to detect leaks in fuel oil
storage tanks. All diesel oil storage tanks which could pose a threat to the
environment have been reconstructed with a secondary bottom and a leak
detection system. The conversion began in 1991 and was completed in 1993 at
a total cost of $2 million.

17

Underground Storage

California has enacted legislation to protect ground water from contamination
by hazardous substances. Underground storage containers require permits,
inspections and periodic reports, as well as specific requirements for new
tanks, closure of old tanks and monitoring systems for all tanks. SDG&E's
capital program to comply with these requirements has cost $3 million to
date. It is expected that cleanup of sites previously contaminated by
underground tanks will occur for an unknown number of years. SDG&E cannot
predict the cost of such cleanup. Additionally, if a facility is
reactivated, the removal and replacement of existing tanks may be required.

Specific underground locations requiring assessment and/or remediation are
indicated below:

On May 29, 1987 the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board issued
SDG&E a cleanup and abatement order for gasoline contamination originating
from an underground storage tank located at SDG&E's Mountain Empire operation
and maintenance facility. To comply with the order SDG&E has implemented a
"pump and treat" program to remediate the site. Because the source of the
area's drinking water is near the contamination, the Department of Health
Services and the Board are expected to require SDG&E to further assess the
extent of the contamination and undertake alternative remediation to further
protect the drinking water from contamination. SDG&E is unable to estimate
the costs for the assessment or for alternative remediation.

On January 7, 1993 SDG&E was issued a notice of corrective action by the
Department of Health Services relative to soil contamination from used
lubrication oil associated with an underground tank located at SDG&E's South
Bay Operation and Maintenance facility. At present, SDG&E is unable to
estimate the extent of the contamination or the potential cleanup costs.

In 1993 SDG&E discovered a shallow underground tank-like structure while
installing underground electric facilities. The structure was located under
a public street immediately west of SDG&E's Station A facility. The past
ownership, operation and use of the structure is unknown. Hydrocarbon
contamination has been found in the vicinity of the structure, but it has not
been established whether the structure was the source of the contamination.
The San Diego County Department of Health Services has issued a cleanup and
abatement order to SDG&E. The order requires SDG&E to conduct a site
assessment to delineate the nature and scope of the contamination. SDG&E is
unable to estimate the nature and extent of the contamination or the
potential cleanup costs.

Station B

Station B is located in downtown San Diego and was operated as a generating
facility from 1911 until June 1993. During 1986, three 100,000-gallon
underground diesel-fuel storage tanks were removed. Pursuant to a cleanup
and abatement order, SDG&E remediated the existing hydrocarbon contamination.

Further analysis of PCB contamination in the area is required before site
closure. SDG&E is unable to estimate the extent of such PCB contamination or
what remediation, if any, will be required.

In addition, asbestos was used in the construction of the facility.
Renovation, reconditioning or demolition of the facility will require the
removal of the asbestos in a manner complying with all applicable
environmental, health and safety laws. The estimated capital cost of this
removal is between $6 million and $12 million.

Additionally, reuse of the facility would require the removal or cleanup of
PCBs, paints containing heavy metals and fuel oil. SDG&E is unable to
estimate the extent of this contamination or the cost of cleaning up these
materials.

Encina Power Plant

During 1993 SDG&E discovered the presence of hydrocarbon contamination in
subsurface soil at its Encina power plant. This contamination is located
north of its western fuel-storage facilities and is believed to be fuel oil
originating from a 1950s refueling spill. SDG&E has reported the discovery
of the contamination to governmental agencies and has determined it does not
pose a significant risk to the environment or to public health. SDG&E is
unable to estimate the cost of assessment and of cleaning up the
contamination.

18

Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

During the late 1800s and early 1900s SDG&E and its predecessors manufactured
gas from the combustion of fuel oil at a manufactured gas plant in downtown
San Diego (Station A) and at small facilities in the nearby cities of
Escondido and Oceanside. Although no tar pits common to town gas sites have
been found at the facilities, ash and other residual hazardous byproducts
from the gas-manufacturing process were found at the Escondido site during
grading for expansion of a substation. Remediation of the Escondido site has
been completed at a total cost of about $3 million. Based upon its
assessment and remediation activities, SDG&E has applied to the Department of
Health Services for a closure certification for the Escondido site.

SDG&E and the Department of Health Services are aware that hazardous
substances resulting from the operation of the Escondido manufactured gas
plant may be present on adjacent locations. SDG&E will coordinate any
required assessment or cleanup of any such locations with the department.

SDG&E has not found any similar town gas site residuals at the Station A
site. However, ash residue similar to that at Escondido was found on
property adjacent to SDG&E's Oceanside gas regulator station. This ash
residue has been covered with asphalt to prevent public exposure. Some ash
residue has also been observed in soil adjacent to Station A.

Due to the possibility that town gas residuals exist under the Station A and
Oceanside sites, SDG&E will implement an environmental assessment of the
sites in 1994 and 1995. SDG&E is unable to estimate the cost of assessment
and cleanup of these sites. However, the CPUC has approved SDG&E's
application to recover these costs in a future rate proceeding through the
reasonableness review process.

Litigation concerning hazardous substances is discussed in "Legal Proceedings
- - Graybill/Metropolitan Transit Development Board" herein.

AIR QUALITY

The San Diego Air Pollution Control District regulates air quality in San
Diego County in conformance with the California and federal Clean Air Acts.
California's standards are more restrictive than federal government
standards.

Although SDG&E facilities already comply with very strict emission limits and
contribute only about 3 percent of the air emissions in San Diego County, the
APCD is obligated to quantify the benefits of further reducing emissions from
all San Diego industry. The APCD has adopted Rule 69 to further reduce
nitrogen oxide emissions. This rule will require the retrofit of the Encina
and South Bay power plants with catalytic converters to remove approximately
87 percent of current nitrogen oxide emissions. The estimated capital cost
to comply with Rule 69 is $130 million. In addition, annual operating costs
will increase about $6 million after all units have been retrofitted. SDG&E
expects this to be completed by 2001.

The acid rain section of the federal Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
requires SDG&E to upgrade the continuous emission monitors at its Encina and
South Bay power plants to provide more-complete emissions data. Installation
of the required continuous emission monitor upgrades will be completed in
1994 at an estimated cost of $5 million.

In 1990 the South Coast Air Quality Management District passed a rule which
will require SDG&E's older natural gas compressor engines at its Moreno
facility to either meet new stringent nitrogen oxide emission levels or be
converted to electric drive. In October 1993 the Air Quality District
adopted a new program called RECLAIM, which will replace existing rules and
require SDG&E's natural gas compressor engines at its Moreno facility to
reduce their nitrogen oxide emission levels by about 10 percent a year
through 2003. This will be accomplished through the installation of new
emission monitoring equipment, operational changes to take advantage of low
emitting engines, and engine retrofits. The cost of complying with the
proposed rule is expected to be $3 million.

WATER QUALITY

Discharge permits are required to enable SDG&E to discharge its cooling water
and its treated in-plant waste water, and are, therefore, a prerequisite to
the continued operation of SDG&E's power plants. The promulgation of water
quality-control plans by state and federal agencies may impose increasingly
stringent cooling-water and treated waste water discharge requirements on
SDG&E.

SDG&E is unable to predict the terms and conditions of any renewed permits or
their effects on plant or unit availability, the cost of constructing new
cooling water treatment facilities, or the cost of modifying the existing
treatment facilities. However, any modifications required by such permits
could involve substantial expenditures, and certain plants or units may be
unavailable for electric generation during such modification.

Additional information concerning discharge permits for the South Bay, Encina
and SONGS plants is provided in "Management's Discussion & Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

ASBESTOS

The corporate office building at 101 Ash Street in San Diego is being
retrofitted with sprinklers over a two-year period in response to a City of
San Diego ordinance requiring all high-rise office buildings to be
retrofitted for fire protection by 1996. This is expected to be completed in
1994. Asbestos is being removed in the areas where the sprinklers are being
installed. The total cost of the asbestos removal will be about $2 million.

TRANSMISSION LINE AERIAL SAFETY

Criteria have been established by the State of California to determine the
necessity for installing aerial warning devices on overhead powerlines to
promote air-space safety. Nine spans on the Southwest Powerlink transmission
line in Imperial County fall within the criteria and will be marked at a cost
of approximately $115,000. Study of another 132 spans will determine whether
or not additional spans will be marked at a cost of approximately $13,000 per
span.

Based upon FAA recommendation, SDG&E is also installing aerial warning
markers on various segments of the 230-kv and other transmission lines within
its service territory. The cost of this project through 1993 was $2 million,
and $1 million is budgeted for 1994.

Additional information concerning SDG&E's environmental matters is described
in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders
and in Note 9 of the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" beginning
on Page 32 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following proceedings, described in SDG&E's 1992 Annual Report on Form
10-K, were concluded during the year ended December 31, 1993: San Onofre
Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1, Springerville, Zuidema, Energy Factors,
American Tool and NCR. Information concerning the conclusion of these
proceedings is contained in SDG&E's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1993 and September 30, 1993 and in
SDG&E's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 19, 1993.

CENTURY POWER LITIGATION
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On April 1, 1987 Century Power Corporation, formerly Alamito Company,
submitted a filing to justify its rates for the following 24 months under a
power sales and interconnection agreement with SDG&E. The Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission permitted the rates to become effective as of June 1,
1987 subject to refund. In 1988 an administrative law judge ruled

22

unreasonable a component of rates based on the return on equity of Tucson
Electric Power Company, a supplier and former affiliate of Century. If the
decision stands, demand charges paid by SDG&E could be reduced by $12
million, plus interest, to be refunded principally to SDG&E customers. On
September 23, 1993 SDG&E filed a motion requesting the FERC to decide this
matter. On December 23, 1993 the FERC issued an order denying SDG&E's motion
on the grounds that the matter had been resolved under a settlement reached
by the parties in 1991 and approved by the FERC. On January 24, 1994 SDG&E
filed a request for rehearing.

On February 11, 1993 SDG&E filed a complaint with the FERC against Tucson and
Century seeking to adjust its purchase costs under the power sales and
interconnection agreement with Century. The complaint seeks summary
disposition and moves for an order directing Century and Tucson to refund
amounts that they improperly billed SDG&E in violation of the agreement. If
successful, SDG&E would be entitled to approximately $15 million, plus
interest, which would be refunded principally to SDG&E's customers. On April
23, 1993 Tucson and Century filed answers to the complaint, denying
liability. In addition, Tucson brought a counterclaim of approximately $3
million against SDG&E based on alleged underbillings.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

CITY OF SAN DIEGO FRANCHISE
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On February 13, 1990 following the announcement of the proposed merger of
SDG&E into Southern California Edison Company, the City of San Diego filed a
lawsuit in San Diego County Superior Court to confirm its position that
SDG&E's franchises with the city could not be transferred to Edison without
the consent of the city pursuant to the city charter and to SDG&E's
franchises. On December 28, 1993 the parties dismissed the complaint without
prejudice.

AMERICAN TRAILS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 23, 1985 Michael Bessey and others who owned American Trails, a
membership campground company, filed a complaint against Wahlco, Inc. and
others in the Superior Court of San Diego County for breach of contract,
negligence, fraud, intentional interference with contract, breach of the
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and breach of fiduciary duty
in connection with contingent payments, which were not realized following the
redemption of plaintiffs' interest in American Trails Partners No. 1. The
plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages in the amount of approximately
$12 million and punitive damages in an unspecified amount. Wahlco has
cross-complained against the plaintiffs for defrauding Wahlco into investing
$3 million in American Trails.

The trial took place in late 1991 before a superior court judge sitting
without a jury. On March 25, 1992 the trial judge indicated that the
plaintiffs would be awarded approximately $2 million plus fees. However, on
April 20, 1992, prior to entry of any judgments, the trial judge removed
himself from the case.

Another judge was assigned to the case and a new trial began on February 8,
1993. On March 24, 1993 the jury returned verdicts favorable to all
defendants on all of the plaintiffs' causes of action, except for breach of
contract and interference with contract claims against defendants Wahlco and
Robert Wahler, as to which the jury was not able to reach a verdict. On July
23, 1993 the trial court granted the motions of Wahlco and Robert Wahler for
summary judgment on the two remaining causes of action against them and
denied the plaintiffs' motion for a new trial. On September 21, 1993
judgment was entered by the court in favor of Wahlco and the other
defendants. As a result, all claims and causes of action by the plaintiffs
against Wahlco have been determined in favor of Wahlco. On October 7, 1993
the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court's judgment.

Wahlco intends to continue defending this lawsuit vigorously.

By agreements dated September 19, 1987, October 28, 1987, and March 1, 1990,
Robert R. Wahler, as Trustee of the Wahler Family Trust; John H. McDonald;
and Westfore, a California limited partnership, agreed, subject to certain

23

exceptions, to indemnify Pacific Diversified Capital Company and its
subsidiaries in connection with the American Trails litigation in diminishing
amounts through 1992, when the indemnification amount would decrease to zero.

Wahlco, Inc. notified these parties that it has a claim for indemnification
pursuant to the indemnification agreements. However, they have denied that
a current claim for indemnification exists.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

SUBSIDIARY SHAREHOLDER
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On June 22, 1990 an action was instituted in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of California against SDG&E; PDC; Wahlco Environmental
Systems, Inc.; each of the persons who was a director and/or an officer at
the time of WES's initial public offering (including an officer and certain
directors of SDG&E); and the managing underwriters for the offering,
Prudential-Bache Securities, Inc. and Salomon Brothers, Inc. This action,
for which class certification has been granted, was brought by Ronald
Kassover on behalf of all persons (other than defendants in the action) who
purchased WES's common stock during the class period of April 25, 1990 to
June 15, 1990.

The complaint, as amended, alleges various violations of federal and state
securities laws and various state law claims based upon alleged
misrepresentations made in WES's registration statement and prospectus
prepared in connection with the offering, WES's Report on Form 10-Q for the
first quarter of 1990, press releases, and other public documents and
statements. The alleged misrepresentations relate to WES's earnings,
customer orders, financial condition and future prospects. The amended
complaint further purports that, based upon these alleged misrepresentations
and omissions, the price of WES's common stock was inflated during the class
period and the plaintiff and the plaintiff class suffered damages as a result
of purchasing WES's common stock at inflated prices. The amended complaint
seeks a judgment for damages incurred by the plaintiff class during the class
period, for costs and attorneys' fees, for punitive damages, and for
injunctive relief against the disposition of defendants' assets.

On November 5, 1990 a second complaint was filed by Ralph Amanna. The
amended Amanna complaint makes allegations similar to those made in the
Kassover complaint and has been consolidated with the Kassover action. On
November 9, 1992 the court granted the defendants' motion for partial summary
judgment, resolving the majority of the material allegations in favor of the
defendants. The remaining allegations concern alleged wrong-doing associated
with an attempted debenture offering after the initial public offering.

The plaintiffs have filed a motion for reconsideration of the partial summary
judgment. The underwriters have filed a motion to dismiss all claims against
them, and the other defendants have joined in this motion. Hearings on these
motions were taken off the court's calendar pending the conclusion of
settlement negotiations.

In November 1993 a settlement in principle was reached whereby the entire
action would be resolved. The settlement requires the defendants to pay a
total of approximately $1 million to the plaintiffs in exchange for a
dismissal of the action in its entirety. The settlement will bind all of the
plaintiff class members who elect to participate in the settlement. It is
anticipated that the court will approve the settlement, and the action will
be dismissed.

PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NEW MEXICO
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On October 27, 1993 SDG&E filed a complaint with the FERC against Public
Service Company of New Mexico, alleging that charges under a 1985 power
purchase agreement are unjust, unreasonable and discriminatory. SDG&E
requested that the FERC investigate the rates charged under the agreement and
establish a refund date effective December 26, 1993. The relief, if granted,
would reduce annual demand charges paid by SDG&E to PNM by up to $11 million
per year through April 2001. If approved, the proceeds principally would be
used to reduce customer bills.

On December 8, 1993 PNM answered the complaint and moved that it be
dismissed. PNM denied that the rates are unjust, unreasonable or
discriminatory and asserted that SDG&E's claims were barred by certain orders
issued by the FERC in 1988. SDG&E expects a decision from the FERC in 1994.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

24

CANADIAN NATURAL GAS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

During early 1991 SDG&E signed four long-term natural gas supply contracts
with Husky Oil Ltd., Canadian Hunter Ltd. and Noranda Inc., Bow Valley Energy
Inc., and Summit Resources Ltd. Canadian-sourced natural gas began flowing
to SDG&E under these contracts on November 1, 1993. Disputes have arisen
with each of these producers with respect to events which are alleged by the
producers to have occurred justifying a revision to the pricing terms of each
contract, and possibly their termination. Consequently, during December 1993
SDG&E filed complaints in the United States Federal District Court, Southern
District of California, seeking a declaration of SDG&E's contract rights.
Specifically, SDG&E states that, neither price revision nor contract
termination is warranted.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Additional information concerning these contracts is provided under "Natural
Gas Operations" herein and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders and in Note 9 of the "Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements" beginning on Page 32 of the 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

MCCARTIN

On November 13, 1992 a group of 25 individual plaintiffs filed a complaint
against SDG&E in the Orange County Superior Court for medical monitoring,
intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of
emotional distress, strict products liability, negligent product liability,
trespass, nuisance, diminution in property value, inverse condemnation and
injunctive relief, alleging that plaintiffs have been damaged by EMF
radiation from SDG&E's power lines. The plaintiffs have not specified
damages.

On March 31, 1993 the trial court denied SDG&E's request to set aside all but
two of the plaintiffs' claims. On May 25, 1993 the California Court of
Appeals denied SDG&E's appeal of the trial court's denial of SDG&E's request
to set aside. A subsequent petition for review filed with the California
Supreme Court was also denied. On May 27, 1993 SDG&E filed its answer to the
complaint and discovery commenced.

On December 16, 1993 Martin and Joyce Covalt filed a complaint against SDG&E
in Orange County Superior Court for claims identical to those of the original
McCartin plaintiffs. The attorneys for the Covalts have indicated that they
will attempt to consolidate their complaint with the McCartin complaint.

SDG&E believes that the allegations made in both complaints are without merit
and intends to defend the lawsuit vigorously. The trial is scheduled to
begin on April 11, 1994.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

NORTH CITY WEST

On June 14, 1993 the Peninsula at Del Mar Highlands Homeowners Association
filed a complaint with the Superior Court of San Diego County against the
City of San Diego and SDG&E to prevent SDG&E from continuing construction of
an electric substation in an area which is known as North City West. In the
complaint, plaintiffs sought to have the city either revoke previously issued
permits or reopen the hearing process to address alleged EMF concerns. On
July 6, 1993 the court denied the plaintiffs' motion for a temporary
restraining order. On July 30, 1993 the court denied the plaintiffs' motion
for a preliminary injunction. On September 28, 1993 the plaintiffs withdrew
their complaint and the court dismissed it without prejudice.

On August 18, 1993 the plaintiffs filed a complaint with the CPUC requesting
that construction of the substation be immediately halted until the CPUC
conducts an initial environmental assessment and determines whether an

25

environmental impact report is necessary. On September 22, 1993 SDG&E moved
to dismiss the complaint on the grounds that the city's environmental review
of the project in 1989 was proper and that the city, not the CPUC, has the
authority, under the California Environmental Quality Act, to review the
potential environmental impacts of substations. On January 7, 1994 the CPUC
dismissed the plaintiffs' complaint, ruling that the city had performed all
appropriate environmental reviews. One of the plaintiffs has filed an
application with the CPUC asking it to reconsider its January 7 decision.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

BLACKBURN VS. WATT

Beginning on April 4, 1991 approximately 30 homeowners in the "Mar Lado
Highlands" real estate development filed a series of complaints in San Diego
Superior Court against the developer of the subdivision, TBSD Development,
and certain of its affiliates. The complaints allege, among other things,
that the defendants made fraudulent and negligent misrepresentations to the
plaintiffs in the course of the sale of the plaintiffs' homes. One of the
allegations involves the defendants' failure to adequately disclose the
siting of a SDG&E electric transmission line near a gasoline pipeline, which
the plaintiffs allege creates a significant risk of accident. Furthermore,
the plaintiffs allege that the defendants failed to disclose the health risks
associated with living in proximity to such power lines. The plaintiffs are
seeking rescission, restitution, certain specified and unspecified
compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorneys' fees.

Beginning on June 23, 1993 the defendants filed a series of cross-complaints
against several other parties, including SDG&E, for indemnity, breach of
warranty, breach of contract, negligence, contribution, declaratory relief
and other remedies. The cross-complaints pertaining to SDG&E essentially
allege that the defendants had no duty to independently investigate the risks
associated with the power lines and that they merely passed along information
regarding such risks provided by SDG&E. Therefore, the defendants allege
that any liability arising from disclosures or nondisclosures relative to the
power lines are the sole responsibility of SDG&E.

SDG&E has filed answers to all of the cross-complaints. SDG&E believes the
cross-complaints are without merit and intends to defend these lawsuits
vigorously.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

GRAYBILL/ METROPOLITAN TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT BOARD
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRAYBILL

On February 14, 1992 Graybill Terminal Company and others who own an oil
storage tank farm in San Diego filed a complaint against Union Oil Company of
California and others in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
California. The complaint alleges that the land on which the tank farm is
situated is contaminated with petroleum products and other chemicals.

On July 21, 1992 three of the defendants, Olson Development Company, 550 El
Camino Company and Carl Olson, filed a complaint in the same court against
SDG&E and others, alleging, among other things, violation of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act,
California Superfund, and other environmental laws. Olson Development and
550 El Camino are previous owners of the allegedly contaminated property.
This complaint alleges that SDG&E leased certain tanks, property and
pipelines on or adjacent to the allegedly contaminated property and that
contamination of soil, ground water, sewer systems and the San Diego Bay
occurred during the course of SDG&E's leasing of the tanks, property and
pipelines. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified compensatory damages,
indemnity or contribution, and certain declaratory and equitable relief.

On August 10, 1992 SDG&E filed a counterclaim to the third-party complaint.
On August 17, 1992 SDG&E also filed a third-party complaint against Union Oil
Company. The court has dismissed all negligence causes of action against
SDG&E, but all other causes of action remain. Trial has been set for April
1994.

26

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

METROPOLITAN TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT BOARD

On October 13, 1993 MTDB filed a complaint in the San Diego County Superior
Court against certain of the defendants in the Graybill litigation, including
SDG&E. MTDB owns property located adjacent to the Graybill site and has
alleged that contamination from the Graybill site migrated beneath its
property, contaminating the soil and ground water. (MTDB had attempted to
intervene in the Graybill litigation, but the judge denied its motion.)

MTDB has alleged that SDG&E stored petroleum products at the Graybill site
and was also responsible for certain renovations to the site's fixtures and
equipment which stored and/or transported hazardous substances. MTDB has
also stated that SDG&E, at one time, owned and operated the MTDB property and
also owned certain fuel oil pipelines located on the property. MTDB's
complaint alleges, among other things, nuisance, trespass and negligence, and
seeks unspecified compensatory and special damages, indemnity, and certain
equitable and declaratory relief. On November 24, 1993 SDG&E filed an answer
to the complaint denying all of MTDB's allegations.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

TRANSPHASE SYSTEMS LITIGATION
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

On May 3, 1993 Transphase Systems, Inc. filed a complaint against Southern
California Edison Company and SDG&E in the United States District Court for
the Central District of California. The complaint alleged that Edison and
SDG&E unlawfully constrained Transphase from selling its thermal energy
storage systems under utility-sponsored demand-side management programs in
violation of federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws. The
plaintiff claimed not less than $50 million in actual damages, attorneys'
fees, prejudgment interest and costs. The plaintiff also sought certain
injunctive relief.

On August 25, 1993 Transphase filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to
order SDG&E to cease competitive bidding activities for all generation
resources until demand-side-resource providers were permitted to participate.

On October 7, 1993 the court dismissed all of Transphase's causes of action
with prejudice. On October 19, 1993 Transphase filed a notice of appeal of
the court's dismissal. The appeal is scheduled to be heard by the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals in May 1994.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.

Additional information concerning competitive bidding is described under
"Resources Planning" herein and in the "Management's Discussion & Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" beginning on Page 18 of the
1993 Annual Report to Shareholders.

TANG LITIGATION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On August 10, 1993 R.C. Tang filed a complaint in the Los Angeles County
Superior Court against Southern California Edison Company, SDG&E, and SONGS
contractors Westinghouse, Bechtel and Combustion Engineering, for negligence,
strict products liability, express and implied warranty, statutory liability,
negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation, fraudulent concealment, and
negligent infliction of emotional distress, alleging that the plaintiff was
damaged by the emission of radiation while serving as an on-site Nuclear
Regulatory Commission inspector at SONGS from June 1985 through December
1986. The plaintiff has asked for general compensatory damages and punitive
damages.

The defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the
Southern District of California in San Diego on September 2, 1993 and filed
an answer on September 14, 1993. On December 13, 1993 the court denied the
defendants' motion for summary judgment based on the defendants' compliance
with applicable permissive-dose limits of radiation. On February 7, 1994 the

27

judge declared a mistrial after the jury deadlocked with a vote of seven to
two in favor of R.C. Tang. A new trial date for the case has been set for
March 15, 1994.

The defendants believe that the allegations made in this complaint are
without merit and intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously.

SDG&E is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation.
