Note to Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the financial statements of SDG&E Funding LLC, a Delaware special-purpose limited-liability company whose sole member is San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), a provider of electric and natural-gas services. SDG&E is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy. Information in this quarterly report is unaudited and should be read in conjunction with SDG&E Funding LLC's Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

SDG&E Funding LLC believes that the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments that are necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. All material adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.

SDG&E Funding LLC was organized for the limited purposes of issuing Notes, and holding and servicing Transition Property. Notes are SDG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-7 (presented in the financial statements as Long-Term Debt), secured by the Transition Property and other, limited collateral. Transition Property is the right to be paid a specified amount (presented in the financial statements as Transition Property) from nonbypassable charges, frequently referred to as FTA Charges, levied on residential electric customers and small commercial electric customers of SDG&E. The nonbypassable charges were authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission pursuant to the electric industry restructuring mandated by California Assembly Bill 1890, as amended by California Senate Bill 477.

Since SDG&E Funding LLC is a single-member, limited-liability company, its federal income tax effects and its State of California franchise tax effects accrue to SDG&E.

 

Item 2. Management's Narrative Analysis of the Results of Operations.

The following analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of SDG&E Funding LLC (the Note Issuer) is in an abbreviated format pursuant to Instruction H of Form 10-Q. Such analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Note to Financial Statements included in Item 1 above and the Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in the Note Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The Note Issuer is limited by its organizational documents to engaging in the activities of owning certain property created pursuant to the California Public Utilities Code (the Transition Property) and issuing SDG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-7 (the Notes) secured by the Transition Property and other limited collateral, and related activities. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture between the Note Issuer and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., as trustee. The Note Issuer sold the Notes to the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Special Purpose Trust SDG&E-1, a Delaware business trust (the Trust), which issued certificates corresponding to each class of the Notes in a public offering.

Operating statement effects are limited primarily to income generated from the Transition Property, interest expense on the Notes and incidental investment interest income. The Note Issuer expects to use collections with respect to the Transition Property to make scheduled principal and interest payments on the Notes. Interest income earned on the Transition Property is expected to offset (1) interest expense on the Notes, (2) amortization of debt-issuance expenses and the discount on the Notes, and (3) the fees charged by SDG&E for servicing the Transition Property and providing administrative services to the Note Issuer.

Collections of $22,414,000 resulted in a net overcollection for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, of $2,079,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of $20,186,000 and $149,000 for servicing fees and other expenses.

Collections of $23,136,000 resulted in a net overcollection for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, of $1,676,000 after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of $21,269,000 and $191,000 for servicing fees and other expenses.

The FTA Charges are adjusted at least annually if there is a material shortfall or overage in collections. Management believes that it is reasonable to expect future collections of FTA Charges to be sufficient to make scheduled payments on the Notes and pay related expenses on a timely basis.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The company has designed and maintains disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the company's reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating these controls and procedures, management recognizes that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives and necessarily applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of other possible controls and procedures.

The company evaluates the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control--Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2005, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in the company's internal controls over financial reporting during the company's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the company's internal controls over financial reporting.
