Notes to Financial Statements
- -----------------------------

A. Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the accounts of PG&E
Funding LLC, a Delaware special purpose limited liability company, whose sole
member is Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a provider of electric and
natural gas services. Pacific Gas and Electric Company is a subsidiary
of PG&E Corporation. Both Pacific Gas and Electric Company and PG&E
Corporation are subject to the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This quarterly report should be read in
conjunction with PG&E Funding LLC's Financial Statements and Notes to the
Financial Statements included in its 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PG&E Funding LLC was formed on July 1, 1997, in order to effect the
issuance of $2,901,000,000 in principal amount of PG&E Funding LLC Notes
(the "Notes"),intended to support a ten percent electric rate reduction.
This reduction, which became effective as of January 1, 1998, is provided to
Pacific Gas and Electric Company's residential and small commercial electric
customers in connection with the electric industry restructuring mandated by
California Assembly Bill 1890, as amended by California Senate Bill 477
(electric restructuring legislation).

PG&E Funding LLC was organized for the limited purposes of issuing
the Notes and purchasing Transition Property. Transition Property is the right
to be paid a specified amount (presented in the financial statements as
"Transition Property receivable") from a non-bypassable charge payable by
residential and small commercial electric customers. The non-bypassable charge
was authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (the "CPUC")
pursuant to the electric restructuring legislation. PG&E Funding LLC issued
the Notes in December 1997 to the California Infrastructure and Economic
Development Bank Special Purpose Trust PG&E-1, a Delaware business trust
(the "Trust"), which issued certificates corresponding to each class of Notes
(the "Certificates") in a public offering.

PG&E Funding LLC is restricted by its organizational documents from
engaging in any other activities. In addition, PG&E Funding LLC's
organizational documents require it to operate in such a manner that it should
not be consolidated into the bankruptcy estate of Pacific Gas and Electric
Company(discussed below). PG&E Funding LLC is legally separate from Pacific Gas
and Electric Company. The assets of PG&E Funding LLC are not available to
creditors of Pacific Gas and Electric Company or PG&E Corporation, and the
Transition Property is legally not an asset of Pacific Gas and Electric Company
or PG&E Corporation. PG&E Funding LLC is expected to terminate after final
maturity of the Notes on December 26, 2009.

On April 6, 2001, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, the servicer of
the Transition Property (the "Servicer"), filed a bankruptcy petition under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. PG&E Funding LLC does not
expect payments on the Notes to be affected by the filing. The Servicer has
informed PG&E Funding LLC that, despite the bankruptcy filing, it will continue
to perform all duties as servicer, including remitting daily to the Trustee
(defined below) all amounts paid by ratepayers with respect to the Notes.

On April 11, 2001, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the "Trustee"),
formerly Bankers Trust of California, N.A., informed holders of Certificates
that pursuant to Section 7.01(d) of the servicing agreement between
PG&E Funding LLC and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the "Servicing
Agreement"), a servicer default had occurred as a result of the commencement
of bankruptcy proceedings. The Trustee indicated that it did not intend to
pursue any remedies without the written request of the requisite number of
holders of Certificates.

On September 20, 2001, the Servicer and its parent company, PG&E
Corporation, jointly filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Northern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court") a proposed plan of
reorganization (the "Plan") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and a
proposed disclosure statement describing the Plan. The Plan was amended on
December 19, 2001, February 4, 2002, March 7, 2002, and April 19, 2002. The CPUC
has proposed an alternative plan of reorganization. Disclosure statements
relating to both plans have been mailed to creditors and equity interest holders
to solicit acceptances or rejections of the plans. All ballots are due
August 12, 2002. Confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin on November 12,
2002. The Servicer has asserted that neither Pacific Gas and Electric Company's
plan nor the CPUC's alternative plan will have an adverse effect on its ability
to perform all duties as servicer.

PG&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 Form 10-Q. Results of operations for interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities and
the disclosure of contingencies. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following analysis of the results of operations of PG&E Funding LLC
is in an abbreviated format pursuant to Instruction H of Form 10-Q. Such
analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Financial Statements
included herein and the Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial
Statements included in PG&E Funding LLC's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2001.

PG&E Funding LLC is a special purpose, single member limited
liability company organized in July 1997 for the limited purposes of holding
and servicing the Transition Property (as described below), issuing notes
secured primarily by the Transition Property and performing related
activities. Pacific Gas and Electric Company, as the sole member of PG&E
Funding LLC, owns all of the equity securities of PG&E Funding LLC. PG&E
Funding LLC's organizational documents require it to operate in a manner such
that it should not be consolidated in the bankruptcy estate of Pacific Gas and
Electric Company (discussed below).

In December 1997, PG&E Funding LLC acquired Transition
Property from Pacific Gas and Electric Company and issued $2,901,000,000 in
principal amount of the PG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through
Class A-8 (the "Notes"), with scheduled maturities ranging from ten months to
ten years and final maturities ranging from two to twelve years. The Notes were
issued pursuant to an Indenture dated December 8, 1997 (the "Indenture") between
PG&E Funding LLC and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (formerly Bankers
Trust Company of California, N.A.), as trustee. PG&E Funding LLC sold
the Notes to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Special
Purpose Trust PG&E-1, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), which issued
certificates corresponding to each class of Notes (the "Certificates")
in a public offering. PG&E Funding LLC entered into a servicing
agreement (the "Servicing Agreement") with Pacific Gas and Electric Company
pursuant to which Pacific Gas and Electric Company is required to service the
Transition Property on behalf of PG&E Funding LLC.

The California Public Utilities Code (the "PU Code") provides for the
creation of "Transition Property". A financing order dated September 3, 1997
(the "Financing Order") issued by the California Public Utilities Commission
(the "CPUC"), together with the related Issuance Advice Letter, establishes,
among other things, separate non-bypassable charges (the "FTA Charges")
payable by residential electric customers and small commercial electric
customers in an aggregate amount sufficient to repay in full the Certificates,
fund the Overcollateralization and Capital Subaccounts (the "Subaccounts")
established under the Indenture, and pay all related costs and fees. Under
the PU Code and the Financing Order, the owner of Transition Property is
entitled to collect FTA Charges until such owner has received amounts sufficient
to retire all outstanding series of Notes and cover related fees and expenses
and the overcollateralization amount described in the Financing Order.

In order to enhance the likelihood that actual collections with respect
to the Transition Property are neither more nor less than the amount necessary
to amortize the Notes in accordance with their expected amortization schedules,
pay all related fees and expenses, and fund certain accounts established
pursuant to the Indenture, the Servicing Agreement requires Pacific Gas and
Electric Company, as the Servicer of the Transition Property (the "Servicer"),
to seek, and the Financing Order and the PU Code require the CPUC to approve,
periodic adjustments to the FTA Charges. Such adjustments will be based on
actual collections and updated assumptions by the Servicer as to future usage
of electricity by specified customers, future expenses relating to the
Transition Property, the Notes, and the rate of delinquencies and write-offs.

In December 2001, the Servicer filed an advice letter with the CPUC,
advising of an increase to the FTA Charge for residential and small commercial
customers effective January 1, 2002, to offset reduced collections of FTA
Charges due to the decline in sales in 2001, and the projected sales decline
in 2002. Lower electric sales and interest earned on the collection account,
established pursuant to the Serving Agreement, for the period January 1, 2002
through the end of May 2002 resulted in an $8.3 million shortfall in the
required level of the Subaccounts. In order to reduce this shortfall, on
June 28, 2002, the Servicer filed with the CPUC a non-routine true-up
mechanism advice letter to establish an additional increase in FTA Charges
effective on October 1, 2002. The CPUC approved the filing on July 18, 2002.

PG&E Funding LLC uses collections of the Transition Property
receivable to make scheduled principal and interest payments on the Notes.
Income earned on the Transition Property receivable 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 Pacific Gas and
Electric Company for servicing the Transition Property and providing
administrative services to PG&E Funding LLC.

On January 4, 2001, Standard and Poor's lowered the short-term credit
rating of the Servicer to A-3, and on January 5, 2001, Moody's Investor Services
Inc. lowered the short-term credit rating of the Servicer to P-3. In accordance
with section 6.11(b) of the Servicing Agreement, on January 8, 2001 the
Servicer began remitting collections to the Trustee on a daily basis.
Previously the Servicer remitted payments monthly.

On April 6, 2001, the Servicer of the Transition Property filed a
bankruptcy petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
PG&E Funding LLC does not expect payments on the Notes to be affected
by the filing. The Servicer has informed PG&E Funding LLC that, despite the
bankruptcy filing, it will continue to perform all duties as servicer,
including remitting daily to the Trustee all amounts paid by ratepayers with
respect to the Notes.

On April 11, 2001, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company (the "Trustee")
informed holders of Certificates that, pursuant to Section 7.01(d) of the
Servicing Agreement, a servicer default had occurred as a result of the
commencement of bankruptcy proceedings. The Trustee indicated that it did not
intend to pursue any remedies without the written request of the requisite
number of holders of Certificates.

On September 20, 2001, the Servicer and its parent company, PG&E
Corporation, jointly filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court of the
Northern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court") a proposed plan of
reorganization (the "Plan") under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and
a proposed disclosure statement describing the Plan. The Plan was amended on
December 19, 2001, February 4, 2002, March 7, 2002, and April 19, 2002. The
CPUC has proposed an alternative plan of reorganization. Disclosure statements
relating to both plans have been mailed to creditors and equity interest
holders to solicit acceptances or rejections of the plans. All ballots are
due August 12, 2002. Confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin on
November 12, 2002. The Servicer has asserted that neither Pacific Gas and
Electric Company's Plan nor the CPUC's alternative plan will have an adverse
effect on it ability to perform all duties as servicer.

Income generated from the Transition Property receivable for the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 was approximately $28,298,000 and
$57,823,000, respectively, and for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2001 was approximately $32,687,000 and $66,627,000, respectively.
The decrease reflects the declining Transition Property receivable balance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, PG&E Funding LLC
earned interest income from other investments of approximately $400,000 and
$1,370,000, respectively, and had interest expense of approximately $27,128,000
and $31,784,000, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, PG&E Funding LLC earned interest income from other investments of
approximately $794,000 and $3,234,000, respectively, and had interest expense
of approximately $55,417,000 and $64,396,000, respectively. The decrease in
interest income in 2002 is mainly attributable to a decrease in the average
balance of restricted funds on which PG&E Funding LLC earns interest, and a
decrease in the interest rate. The restricted funds decreased due to
the decrease in FTA Charge collections described below. The interest expense
comprises interest on the Notes, and amortization of the Note discount and
issuance costs. The decrease in interest expense is due to the declining
balance of the Notes.

PG&E Funding LLC incurred servicing fees of approximately $1,041,000
and $1,222,000, and trustee, administrative, and general fees of approximately
$46,000 and $47,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, PG&E
Funding LLC incurred servicing fees of approximately $2,129,000 and $2,491,000,
and trustee administrative, and general fees of approximately $87,000 and
$106,000, respectively.

For the three month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, collections
of FTA Charges were approximately $99,389,000 and $87,494,000, respectively.
This brought year-to-date collections as of June 30, 2002, and 2001 to
approximately $197,658,000 and $224,501,000, respectively. The increase in
collections in the second quarter of 2002 compared to the same three month
period in 2001 is due to the increase in FTA Charges for residential and small
commercial customers, which became effective on January 1, 2002. The decrease
in collections for the year-to-date is mainly due to a reduction in electricity
usage in 2002, and the change from monthly to daily remittance of FTA Charges
from the Servicer on January 8, 2001, which resulted in an extra month of
FTA Charges of approximately $32,212,000 being remitted in the first quarter
of 2001.

Principal and interest payments on the Notes were approximately
$92,552,000 and $96,728,000, with payment for servicing fees and other
expenses of $1,077,000 and $1,269,000 for the three month periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. For the six month periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, principal and interest payments were approximately $195,243,000
and $204,366,000, with payments for servicing fees and other expenses of
$2,206,000, and $2,597,000, respectively.

A shortfall in collections of FTA Charges results when scheduled
payments of principal and interest on the Notes, and related expenses, exceed
the FTA Charges collected. A surplus in collections of FTA Charges results when
collections of these charges exceed scheduled payments of principal and interest
on the Notes and related expenses. Collections of FTA Charges resulted in a
surplus of $1,002,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002, and a
surplus of $20,772,000 for same period in the prior year.

The collections of FTA Charges are deposited in separate bank
accounts, which are restricted and can only be used to pay principal, interest
on the Notes, and related expenses. These funds are classified as "Restricted
funds" in the Condensed Balance Sheets and amounted to $43,670,000 at June 30,
2002 and $42,763,000 at December 31, 2001.

The Indenture requires PG&E Funding LLC to maintain certain minimum
balances in the Subaccounts within the Restricted funds that are to be used
only in the event of a shortfall in collections of FTA Charges. Because FTA
Charge collections for the first quarter of 2002 were not sufficient to pay
required principal and interest payments on the Notes and other expenses of
PG&E Funding LLC, funds in the Subaccounts were used to pay for the shortfall.
At June 30, 2002, the balance in the Subaccounts totaled $12,641,000. At June
30, 2002, the aggregate balance required to be maintained by the Indenture in
the Subaccounts was $20,932,250. No default occurs under the Indenture if the
balances are not maintained. However, the Servicer is required to establish
the FTA Charges at a level that is projected to replenish such Subaccounts to
their required balances within twelve months of the effective date of any
change in the FTA Charge. On June 28, 2002, in order to reduce the $8.3
million shortfall in the required level of the Subaccuonts, the Servicer filed
with the CPUC a non-routine true-up mechanism advice letter to establish an
additional increase in FTA Charges effective on October 1, 2002. The CPUC
approved the filing on July 18, 2002.

PGE&E Funding LLC monitors the level of Restricted funds available to
cover any possible shortfall in collections of FTA Charges. PG&E Funding LLC
expects future collections of FTA Charges to be sufficient to cover scheduled
principal and interest payments on the Notes, to cover related expenses, and
to begin replenishing the Subaccount balances.








Forward-looking Information:
- ----------------------------

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, contains forward looking statements
that future collections of FTA Charges are expected to be sufficient to cover
scheduled principal and interest payments on the Notes, related expenses,
and to begin replenishing the Subaccount balances. These statements involve
risks and uncertainties and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of
management and on information currently available to management.

Actual results or outcomes could differ materially as a result of
Various factors, including:

? future electricity sales levels which are affected by a variety of factors,
including general economic and financial market conditions, weather,
conservation efforts, and outages, and

? updated assumptions by the Servicer as to future expenses relating to the
Transition Property, the Notes, and the rate of delinquencies and write-offs.
