Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Interim Financial Statements

The interim consolidated financial statements of TNP and subsidiaries, and TNMP and subsidiaries, are unaudited and contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year or for previously reported periods due in part to seasonal revenue fluctuations. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in TNP’s and TNMP’s 2002 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Prior period statements have been reclassified in order to be consistent with current period presentation. The reclassification had no effect on net income or common shareholder’s equity.

Note 2. Regulatory Matters

Texas

Retail Competition. As reported in the 2002 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Texas electricity market has been open to retail competition since January 1, 2002. In accordance with Senate Bill 7, the legislation that established retail competition, TNMP provides transmission and distribution services at regulated rates to customers within its service area. While TNMP provides transmission and distribution services to individual consumers, its revenues are collected from the various retail electric providers that provide electric service within TNMP’s service area.

First Choice Power (First Choice), TNMP’s affiliated retail electric provider, performs activities related to the sale of electricity to retail customers in Texas. The operations of First Choice are included in the consolidated financial statements of TNP.

First Choice must offer former TNMP customers whose loads are less than 1 megawatt a regulated price, commonly called the “price-to-beat.” The price-to-beat will be offered through December 31, 2006, and First Choice cannot offer former TNMP customers any other rate before the loss of 40 percent of the energy consumed by its price-to-beat customers, or January 1, 2005, whichever occurs first.

First Choice is responsible for energy supply related to the sale of electricity to retail customers in Texas. Senate Bill 7 contains no provisions for the specific recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, although First Choice can request that the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) change the price-to-beat twice a year to recognize changes in natural gas prices. The rates charged to new customers acquired by First Choice outside of TNMP’s service territory are not regulated by the PUCT, but are negotiated with each customer. As a result, changes in fuel and purchased power costs will affect First Choice’s operating results.

Price-to-Beat Fuel Factor. In response to increases in natural gas prices beginning in December 2002, First Choice has requested and implemented several changes in the price-to-beat fuel factor. The changes in the price-to-beat fuel factor are shown in the following table (dollar amounts in millions):

Date Filed	Date Approved	Percentage Increase in Fuel Factor	Estimated Increase in Annual Revenue
December 2002	February 2003	19%	$17.0
February 2003	March 2003	14%	15.0
March 2003	April 2003	15%	19.0

While First Choice may request only two changes to the price-to-beat fuel factor in a year, it may also file with the PUCT to change the overall price-to-beat in emergency circumstances in order to preserve its financial integrity.

-11-

In March 2003, the PUCT adopted a new rule governing the price-to-beat fuel factor. The new rule would limit the ability of First Choice to respond to changes in the market price of natural gas by causing First Choice to calculate proposed changes to the price-to-beat fuel factor based on natural gas prices over a twenty-day period, as opposed to the previous ten-day period. In addition, gas prices must change by five percent before the price-to-beat fuel factor can be changed under the new rule, rather than four percent previously. The PUCT also affirmed its authority to reduce the price-to-beat fuel factor in the 2004 true-up proceeding. The rule would require the PUCT to reduce the price-to-beat fuel factor “if natural gas prices are below the prices embedded in the then-current factors.” The new rule took effect in April 2003.

Clawback. Senate Bill 7 includes a provision, commonly known as the “clawback,” that would require First Choice to credit TNMP the difference between the price-to-beat and the market price of electricity during the years 2002 and 2003. TNMP will include the credit in the true-up proceeding that will occur in 2004. The maximum credit to TNMP is limited to $150 multiplied by the difference between the number of First Choice price-to-beat customers and the number of First Choice competitively acquired residential and small commercial customers as of January 1, 2004. Based on current assumptions, First Choice estimates that its clawback liability will be $13.1 million. Accordingly, First Choice increased its pre-tax reserve of $12.7 million recorded at December 31, 2002, by $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2003. To the extent that acquisition of competitive customers and loss of price-to-beat customers differs from current projections, an adjustment to the clawback liability could be required. First Choice estimates that significant variations from its current projections could increase its clawback liability by up to an additional $6.1 million.

Final Fuel Reconciliation. Prior to the beginning of retail competition, TNMP recovered fuel and the energy-related portion of purchased power costs from customers through the fuel adjustment clause authorized by the PUCT. The demand-related portion of purchased power was recovered through base rates and, unlike the fuel and energy-related portion, was not subject to adjustment or future reconciliation. As of June 30, 2003, TNMP had an over-recovered balance of fuel and energy-related purchased power costs of $24.2 million. On April 1, 2003, TNMP filed an application with the PUCT for the final reconciliation of its fuel and energy-related purchased power costs. This proceeding will reconcile fuel and energy-related purchased power costs incurred between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Senate Bill 7. The balance of fuel and energy-related purchased power costs resulting from the final fuel reconciliation will be included in the true-up proceeding for stranded costs that will occur in 2004. Subject to the results of the final fuel reconciliation, any over-recovered balance may reduce the amount of stranded costs TNMP would be entitled to recover from its transmission and distribution customers.

The final fuel reconciliation has been referred to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH). The schedule that SOAH adopted for the final fuel reconciliation calls for hearings in August 2003 and a final order in October 2003.

2001 Excess Earnings. As reported in the 2002 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K, TNMP filed a petition in November 2002 asking the PUCT to allow TNMP to establish a regulatory asset of $3.1 million, the amount of its 2001 Annual Report earnings deficiency that is attributable to System Benefit Fund payments. A hearing on the merits of the petition was held in April 2003. TNMP expects a decision in this matter during the third quarter of 2003. Should the PUCT approve TNMP’s petition, the regulatory asset established would result in a reduction of operating expenses.

Merger Commitments. As conditions for approval of the Merger, TNMP made a number of commitments to both the PUCT and New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (NMPRC). The commitments cover a wide range of financial, operational, electric reliability, and other standards with which TNMP agreed to comply. TNMP made 55 commitments in New Mexico and Texas, of which 47 are currently in effect. TNMP monitors compliance on a monthly basis and could be subject to financial penalties for non-compliance with certain commitments. During the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, TNMP was not in compliance with certain commitments regarding electric reliability standards in Texas, and as a result paid $0.2 million in penalties during the second quarter of 2003.

2004 True-Up Proceeding. The PUCT established the schedule for the stranded cost true-up proceeding that will occur in 2004. TNMP is required to file its stranded cost true up under the provisions of Senate Bill 7 between January 12 and January 22, 2004.

New Mexico

Reorganization of New Mexico Operations. In June 2003, TNMP asked the NMPRC for the authority to place its New Mexico operations in a separate wholly owned subsidiary of TNMP. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission must also approve the request.

Note 3. Accounting Developments

Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” which TNP adopted on January 1, 2002, requires that TNP test the goodwill recorded as a result of the Merger for impairment at least annually. TNP may be required to test goodwill for impairment between annual tests if “an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount.” In June 2003, TNP tested the goodwill related to the Merger based on the current five-year forecast that reflects changes regarding customer growth and other factors at First Choice resulting from current market conditions. TNP concluded that, based on the current forecast, the fair value of the goodwill related to the Merger exceeded its carrying value.

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations

TNP and TNMP adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” on January 1, 2003. The adoption had no impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of TNP and TNMP. As a result of the adoption of SFAS 143, TNP and TNMP identified costs recorded in accumulated depreciation related to inclusion of removal costs of utility plant in TNMP’s rates by the PUCT and NMPRC. Such costs do not arise from legal obligations. Rather, they represent long-standing regulatory policy to include charges for removal costs of utility plant in accumulated depreciation. As of June 30, 2003, $37.1 million of estimated utility plant removal costs were included in accumulated depreciation.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

TNP and TNMP adopted SFAS No.149, “Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (SFAS 149), on June 30, 2003. The adoption had no impact on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of TNP and TNMP. SFAS 149 amends SFAS 133 for decisions made by the Derivatives Implementation Group that required amendments to SFAS 133, in connection with other Financial Accounting Standards Board projects regarding financial instruments, and for implementation issues regarding the application of the definition of a derivative.

Note 4. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Hedging Activities

TNP, TNMP and First Choice may enter into derivative instruments, including options and swaps, to manage risks related to changes in interest rates and commodity prices. At the inception of any such transactions, TNP, TNMP, and First Choice document relationships between the hedging instruments and the items being hedged. The documentation includes the strategy that supports executing the specific transaction.

TNP Interest Rate Swaps. In October 2002, TNP executed a $70 million interest rate swap transaction designed to manage interest rate risk associated with the Senior Credit Facility. The swap will terminate in October 2004. Under the terms of the swap, TNP pays a fixed rate of approximately 2.5 percent and receives variable rates that are currently set at approximately 1.1 percent. As of June 30, 2003, the variable interest rate on the Senior Credit Facility was approximately 6.4 percent, including the effects of the swap.

The fair value of TNP’s swap as of June 30, 2003, was a liability of $1.3 million, which is recorded on its balance sheet in deferred credits and other liabilities.

-13-

The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge. The swap is highly effective in offsetting future cash flow volatility caused by changes in interest rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, TNP recorded unrealized gains (losses), net of reclassification adjustments, associated with its interest rate swap in other comprehensive income as shown in the following table.

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2003									Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
	Before-Tax Amount			Tax Benefit (Expense)			After-Tax Amount			Before-Tax Amount			Tax Benefit (Expense)			After-Tax Amount
	(In thousands)
Change in market value	$	(281	)	$	107		$	(174	)	$	(809	)	$	308		$	(501	)
Reclassification adjustments		202			(77	)		125			380			(145	)		235

Other comprehensive income (loss)	$	(79	)	$	30		$	(49	)	$	(429	)	$	163		$	(266	)

Over the next twelve months TNP anticipates that $0.6 million of unrealized after-tax losses will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense. The estimated amounts to be reclassified represent the earnings volatility that is avoided by using the interest rate swaps.

TNMP Interest Rate Hedges. In October 2002, TNMP executed two $75 million interest rate swap transactions designed to manage interest rate risk associated with the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. As discussed in Note 5, TNMP issued $250 million of Senior Notes in June 2003. A portion of the proceeds from that borrowing was used to repay amounts outstanding under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. As a result, TNMP terminated the swaps in June 2003 at a cost of $3.1 million, which was recorded in interest expense.

In May 2003, TNMP executed a $250 million Treasury rate lock transaction designed to manage interest rate risk associated with the issuance of its $250 million of Senior Notes discussed in Note 5. The rate lock effectively fixed the five-year Treasury yield upon which the yield of the Senior Notes was based at approximately 2.6 percent. TNMP paid $4.2 million upon the issuance of the Senior Notes in June 2003 to settle the rate lock. The cost of the rate lock was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the Senior Notes.

The interest rate swaps and the Treasury rate lock were designated as cash flow hedges. The instruments were highly effective in offsetting future cash flow volatility caused by changes in interest rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, TNMP recorded unrealized gains (losses), net of reclassification adjustments, associated with its interest rate swaps and Treasury rate lock in other comprehensive income as shown in the following table.

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2003									Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
	Before-Tax Amount			Tax Benefit (Expense)			After-Tax Amount			Before-Tax Amount			Tax Benefit (Expense)			After-Tax Amount
	(In thousands)
Change in market value	$	(4,856	)	$	1,850		$	(3,006	)	$	(5,922	)	$	2,256		$	(3,666	)
Reclassification adjustments		3,336			(1,271	)		2,065			3,711			(1,414	)		2,297

Other comprehensive income (loss)	$	(1,520	)	$	579		$	(941	)	$	(2,211	)	$	842		$	(1,369	)

TNMP displays cash flows from interest rate hedging transactions in the cash flow statement as cash flow from operations, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 104, “Statement of Cash Flows-Net Reporting of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments and Classification of Cash Flows form Hedging Transactions.”

Natural Gas Call Options. For the three months ended June 30, 2003, First Choice paid $0.4 million to purchase natural gas call options to cover approximately 0.1 million megawatt-hours (MWh) of firm commitments to customers. The options were purchased to mitigate commodity price risk associated with those commitments. First Choice also paid additional premiums of $0.1 million on options purchased during the first quarter of 2003 to modify the settlement provisions of those options.

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, First Choice paid $19.1 million to purchase natural gas options to cover approximately 5.9 million MWh of firm commitments to customers.

The aggregate fair value of First Choice’s natural gas call options as of June 30, 2003, was $12.2 million, as shown in the current assets section of TNP’s consolidated balance sheet.

-14-

The options were designated as cash flow hedges. The options are highly effective in offsetting future cash flow volatility caused by increases in natural gas prices. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, First Choice’s purchased power expense included pre-tax gains of $1.9 million ($1.2 million after tax) and $2.5 million ($1.5 million after tax), respectively, related to the exercise of natural gas call options. In addition, First Choice recorded unrealized gains (losses), net of reclassification adjustments, associated with its natural gas options in other comprehensive income as shown in the following table.

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2003									Six Months Ended June 30, 2003
	Before-Tax Amount			Tax Benefit (Expense)			After-Tax Amount			Before-Tax Amount			Tax Benefi (Expense)			After-Tax Amount
	(In thousands)
Change in market value	$	(2,013	)	$	767		$	(1,246	)	$	(6,927	)	$	2,639		$	(4,288	)
Reclassification adjustments		3,244			(1,236	)		2,008			3,273			(1,247	)		2,026

Other comprehensive income (loss)	$	1,231		$	(469	)	$	762		$	(3,654	)	$	1,392		$	(2,262	)

Over the next twelve months, First Choice estimates that $9.8 million of unrealized after-tax costs related to natural gas call options will be reclassified through other comprehensive income to purchased power expense.

Note 5. Financing

TNP

Senior Credit Facility. TNP’s Senior Credit Facility includes a $70.5 million term loan due in 2005 and a $15 million revolving credit facility that expires on August 7, 2003. The revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility originally had a commitment of $25 million and was scheduled to expire in April 2003. Banks with commitments of $15 million have agreed to extend the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility on two occasions, resulting in the current commitment level and expiration date. TNP anticipates either securing financing to replace, or extending the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility prior to its expiration.

The Senior Credit Facility contains various financial covenants with which TNP must comply. Due to losses during the first quarter of 2003 at First Choice resulting from high natural gas prices, and increased amounts of outstanding debt due to the termination of TNMP’s factoring agreement early in 2002, TNP did not comply with one financial covenant for the period ended March 31, 2003. In May 2003, TNP obtained a modification of that financial covenant, as well as a second covenant. Additional covenants pertaining to risk management practices were implemented with this amendment. The amendment allows TNP to meet the covenant, which was in noncompliance for the period ended March 31, 2003, and TNP expects to comply with all covenants for the periods covered by the modifications, which extend to September 30, 2004.

TNMP and First Choice

TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. Prior to the sale of TNMP Senior Notes described below, First Choice and TNMP had the ability to borrow up to $291.9 million under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. TNMP may borrow subject to a guarantee by First Choice. First Choice may borrow funds, or have letters of credit issued, under the credit facility subject to a guarantee by TNMP. TNMP’s guarantee is limited to $75 million due to an order issued by the NMPRC in December 2001. Accordingly, First Choice’s borrowings and issuances of letters of credit are limited to $75 million.

On June 10, 2003, TNMP completed the sale of $250 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2008. A portion of the proceeds from this sale was used to repay TNMP’s outstanding borrowings under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. At the same time, TNMP reduced the commitments under that facility from $291.9 million to $90 million. As a result of the sale, TNMP has adequate cash to meet its working capital needs without the need for additional bank financing through at least the end of 2005.

-15-

Following the sale of the TNMP Senior Notes, First Choice may continue to borrow from the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. As noted above, First Choice can borrow or issue letters of credit for up to $75 million under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility, subject to TNMP’s guarantee. At June 30, 2003, First Choice had outstanding borrowings of $7.0 million and had issued letters of credit of $28.7 million under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. In addition, TNMP had guaranteed First Choice’s performance under the power supply contract with Constellation for $25 million. As discussed in Note 7, First Choice amended its power supply agreement with Constellation. As a result of the amendment, TNMP’s ability to guarantee First Choice’s $25 million performance under the Constellation contract is subject to TNMP maintaining a credit rating of at least BB+ from S&P or at least Ba1 from Moody’s. Should TNMP’s ratings fall below those levels, First Choice would be required to issue additional letters of credit under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2003, First Choice had additional capacity to borrow or issue letters of credit under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility of $14.3 million.

The guarantees made by TNMP and First Choice require each to assume the obligations of the other in the event of default. As of June 30, 2003, TNMP had a maximum potential liability under its guarantees of First Choice borrowings, issuances of letters of credit and performance under the Constellation contract of $60.7 million. The guarantees are in force until the expiration of the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility in October 2003.

First Choice does not have any guarantees of TNMP borrowings in force as a result of TNMP’s repayment of its outstanding borrowings under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility, as discussed above.

Note 6. Segment and Related Information

TNP has two reportable segments that reflect the separation of TNMP’s business according to the provisions of Senate Bill 7. The first segment includes TNMP’s regulated transmission and distribution business in Texas and its New Mexico operations, and the second includes the unregulated activities of First Choice relating to the sale of electricity to retail customers in Texas.

The following tables present information about revenues, profits, and assets of TNP’s reportable segments (in thousands). Amounts below in “All Other and Eliminations” include amounts related to the assets and operations of TNP One, which TNMP sold in October 2002.

As of June 30, 2003, TNP has assigned approximately $178.7 million of goodwill to the Regulated Transmission and Distribution segment and approximately $91.6 million to First Choice.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Energy Supply.

Amendment to Power Supply and Service Agreement. On March 31, 2003, First Choice and Constellation amended the power supply and service agreement under which First Choice purchases power to serve its price-to-beat load. The amendment requires First Choice to pay Constellation $9.2 million during 2004. In return, First Choice will no longer be required to assign the output from a power supply contract with a third party to Constellation from January 1, 2004 to August 31, 2004. The third party power contract, which represents approximately 1.4 million MWh at a cost of approximately $30 per MWh, was originally executed by TNMP and was assigned to First Choice at the beginning of retail competition in Texas. The amendment will have no impact on Constellation’s obligation to provide power for First Choice’s price-to-beat customers or the price at which Constellation provides that power.

As reported in the 2002 Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K, First Choice had firm commitments to supply approximately 0.7 million MWh of energy to competitive customers during 2004, for which it had not secured supplier commitments. Approximately 0.5 million MWh of those commitments applied to the January to August time period. As a result of the amendment to the power supply and service agreement, and the termination of First Choice’s requirement to assign the third party power contract to Constellation, First Choice obtained fixed-price power to cover its 2004 firm commitments, from January through August.

The amended power supply and service agreement also reduces the need for First Choice to purchase natural gas call options that would mitigate price risk associated with the 1.4 million MWh of firm and potential commitments in 2004 referred to above. In addition, the amended power supply and service agreement resulted in a reduction of $4.8 million of mark-to-market exposure that Constellation had to First Choice, and the extension of $3.0 million of unsecured credit by Constellation to First Choice. These two items resulted in the release of $7.8 million of letters of credit that First Choice had issued to Constellation under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility.

Finally, the conditions under which TNMP is able to guarantee First Choice’s performance under the power supply and service agreement have been modified. Previously, TNMP’s ability to guarantee up to $25 million of First Choice’s performance under the power supply and service agreement was subject to TNMP maintaining credit ratings of at least BBB- by S&P and at least Ba1 by Moody’s. As amended, TNMP can guarantee First Choice’s performance for up to $25 million if its credit rating is at least BB+ by S&P or at least Ba1 by Moody’s.

Other

TNP and TNMP are involved in various claims and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the dispositions of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on TNP’s and TNMP’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A).

Competitive Conditions

First Choice Customer Operations

As discussed in Note 2, the Texas electricity market has been open to retail competition since January 1, 2002. First Choice has addressed, and continues to address, a number of issues related to the development of retail competition.

Customer Retention and Acquisition. At June 30, 2003, First Choice served approximately 186,000 customers at price-to-beat rates and approximately 75,000 customers at competitive rates. At June 30, 2002, First Choice served approximately 190,000 and 24,000 price-to-beat and competitive customers, respectively. First Choice’s customer totals do not include entities that have chosen First Choice as their retail electric provider, but have yet to receive a bill pending completion of the switching process.

-21-

Customer Service Issues. First Choice has the right to disconnect customers that reside in TNMP’s transmission and distribution service territory for non-payment. It is prohibited from disconnecting customers who reside outside TNMP’s transmission and distribution service territory for non-payment, but may transfer such customers to the provider of last resort. The provider of last resort is an entity established under the provisions of Senate Bill 7 to allow customers who cannot otherwise procure electric service in the competitive market to have access to such service.

The structure described above limits First Choice’s collection activities, and affects both bad debt expense and the level of delinquent accounts receivable. Bad debt expense as a percentage of operating revenues for First Choice was approximately 1.3 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2003, which is the same rate it experienced during 2002. On average, delinquent accounts receivable were approximately 5.4 percent of monthly operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the 2002 delinquency rate of 9.7 percent. First Choice expects that its delinquency rate will continue to decrease during 2003 due to a number of internal and external factors that are discussed in the remainder of this section.

Switching and Billing Issues. At the beginning of retail competition, transactions and data did not flow between the market participants as accurately or in the volumes that the system was designed to accommodate. The impaired data flow limited the ability of retail electric providers to switch customers from one retailer to another, and caused billing inaccuracies at First Choice. Retail electric providers, transmission and distribution service providers and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) are all working together to address these problems in order to improve the infrastructure and processes that support the competitive electric market. The efforts of the various market participants have resulted in improvements in the switching process, correction of errors that occurred shortly after the market opened and improved data flows between the market participants. TNMP and First Choice expect these improvements to continue.

Under retail competition, First Choice must bill its customers using data not only from TNMP, but also from the other transmission and distribution utilities that serve First Choice’s customers. The wider range of sources providing billing data to First Choice has also contributed to billing inaccuracies since the beginning of retail competition. The frequency of these issues has decreased as First Choice has gained experience under retail competition. However, First Choice expects it will experience some level of billing issues in the competitive market related to multiple sources of billing data.

First Choice Energy Supply

First Choice assumed the energy supply activities of TNMP in Texas on January 1, 2002. The competitive market created under the provisions of Senate Bill 7 contains no provisions for the specific recovery of fuel and purchased power costs, although First Choice can request that the PUCT change the price-to-beat twice a year to recognize changes in natural gas prices. As a result, changes in the market prices of fuel and purchased power will affect First Choice’s operating results. To manage this risk, First Choice has established a strategy to mitigate the effects of changing prices.

Constellation is the primary supplier of power for First Choice’s price-to-beat customers. As First Choice gains competitive customers, it procures power for those competitive customers from a number of suppliers.

Strategy for mitigating fluctuation in costs of energy supply. First Choice has adopted a risk management policy that establishes minimal amounts of risk that First Choice may assume. First Choice’s basic strategy is to minimize its exposure to fluctuations in market energy prices by matching fixed price sales contracts with fixed price supply or by purchasing options to limit exposure to upward movements in prices of its energy supply.

Price-to-Beat Customers. For the first half of 2003, First Choice purchased its power supply for price-to-beat customers primarily from Constellation at prices that varied with monthly natural gas prices. Although it has the ability to purchase supply at fixed prices under its contract with Constellation, First Choice expects to continue purchasing power supply from Constellation and other suppliers with varying natural gas prices for the remainder of 2003, in order to minimize the required collateral posting to power suppliers. The price-to-beat fuel factor plus a fixed component of price-to-beat rates of approximately $19 per megawatt hour (“MWh”) comprise the total price-to-beat fuel recovery rate. As a result of significant gas price increases in early 2003, First Choice requested a change in the factor in February 2003, which was approved by the PUCT in March 2003. As a result, the total price-to-beat fuel rate increased to approximately $55 per MWh.

In April 2003, the PUCT approved First Choice’s second request for a change in the price-to beat fuel factor in 2003, the maximum number of changes that First Choice is allowed to request for the year. As a result, the total price-to-beat fuel rate increased to $60 per MWh.

-22-

Since First Choice has received both of its allowed changes in the price-to-beat fuel factor for 2003, First Choice purchased natural gas call options in mid-March 2003 to cap the exposure to further increases in natural gas on its forecasted price-to-beat load. The purchase of the options limited the price of energy to supply First Choice’s price-to-beat load to slightly lower than the price inherent in the current price-to-beat fuel factor.

Competitive Customers. Early in 2002, First Choice purchased power supplies at fixed prices for the entire term of a customer’s contract at the time the customer signed a contract. During 2002, First Choice recognized that purchasing fixed price supply during periods of high gas prices subjected it to additional credit requirements. When gas prices fell below the levels of the fixed price purchase commitments, First Choice was required to post collateral to its suppliers. First Choice’s ability to post collateral is limited by factors discussed in “TNMP and First Choice Liquidity”. To address this issue, First Choice developed a strategy based on the purchase of call options to mitigate the risk of increasing gas prices, which was adopted in November 2002. As previously disclosed in the Combined Annual Report on Form 10-K, implementation of this strategy was delayed due to the discovery that the initial option purchase had been made with an organization created by a now former First Choice employee. At the time, the former employee had the responsibility of negotiating and contracting with energy counter parties.

By mid-March 2003, First Choice secured natural gas call options to cover its projected sales to competitive customers for the period from April 2003 to December 2003. First Choice has mitigated its risks by covering new customer contracts subsequent to March by purchasing natural gas call options as soon after the contracts are executed as practical.

First Choice executed a number of contracts for competitive customers in late 2002, prior to purchasing the natural gas call options in March 2003. At the time of executing the contracts, First Choice estimated that energy prices would average $35 per MWh based on gas costs of $3.99 per million British Thermal Units (“mmbtu”). Natural gas prices started to rise above $3.99 per mmbtu in December 2002 and monthly average prices ranged between $4.99 per mmbtu and $9.13 per mmbtu during the first half of 2003. Due to the increase in natural gas prices First Choice realized a net decrease in gross margin of $7.1 million and $40.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, when compared to the same periods of 2002. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, the price of natural gas paid by First Choice averaged $5.40 per mmbtu and $6.00 per mmbtu, respectively.

Future Impact of Gas Price Movement. For the remainder of 2003, First Choice has limited its exposure to gas prices as discussed above. If the cost of gas is above $6.50 per mmbtu for the remainder of the year, the result would be a decrease in gross margin of $59.5 million for the last half of 2003, when compared to gross margins for the last half of 2002, when gross margins were $46.9 million. Gross margins for the last half of 2003 will also be affected by factors other than changes to the cost of natural gas. Based on forward prices as of July 16, 2003, which suggest an average price for the remainder of the year of $5.11 per mmbtu, the impact on gross margins would be a reduction of approximately $45.5 million, when compared to the last half of 2002. For every $0.50 per mmbtu change in average gas price for the remainder of the year, we would expect a change in gross margins of approximately $13.8 million, excluding the effects of exercising natural gas options.

Load Forecasting Risks. First Choice’s load forecast is continually monitored and revised to account for changing customer loads (both price-to-beat and competitive) due to among other things, customer additions and losses, changes in customers’ usage, severe or unexpected weather, and timing of customer switching. Short-term load forecasts are developed to identify short-term load surpluses and shortages, and to insure that hedges are in place to cover expected sales. To the extent these short-term load forecasts identify shortages, First Choice covers any on-peak shortages through short-term power purchases. First Choice may cover off-peak shortages through purchases on the ERCOT balancing market where off-peak prices are generally lower than can be contracted through short-term purchases.

TNMP

TNMP is providing transmission and distribution services at regulated rates to customers within its service area. Senate Bill 7 provides for recovery of “stranded” costs, the difference between the regulatory value of TNMP’s investment in generation assets and the market price for energy in a competitive market. Any such stranded costs would be recoverable from TNMP’s Texas transmission and distribution customers. The PUCT will conduct a proceeding in 2004 that will quantify and reconcile the amount of recoverable stranded costs, if any. The proceeding will consider a number of issues, including the sale of TNP One that occurred in October 2002, the final fuel reconciliation and the amount of the clawback.

-23-

Critical Accounting Policies

TNP and TNMP are required to use estimates in order to prepare the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates include accruals for estimated revenues for electricity delivered from the latest billing date to the end of the accounting period and estimated purchased power expenses incurred but not billed at the end of the accounting period. The use of these estimates is customary in the electric utility industry. Estimated revenues and purchased power expenses are adjusted to the actual amounts billed or incurred in the following month. TNP and TNMP also employ certain critical accounting policies that require use of judgments and assumptions that are subject to uncertainty. The amounts reported in the consolidated interim financial statements that are related to those critical accounting policies could be different if either different judgments were made or different assumptions were used. Those critical accounting policies are discussed below.

Clawback. First Choice is subject to a provision of Senate Bill 7 commonly known as the “clawback.” The clawback would require First Choice to credit TNMP the difference between the price-to-beat and the market price of electricity during the years 2002 and 2003. Additional details regarding the clawback are discussed in Note 2. First Choice increased the pre-tax reserve related to its estimated clawback liability of $12.7 million recorded at December 31, 2002, by $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2003. First Choice’s estimated clawback liability is based upon its current estimates of the number of competitive customers it will acquire and the number of price-to-beat customers it will lose through January 1, 2004. To the extent First Choice’s acquisition of competitive customers and loss of price-to-beat customers differs from current projections, the amount of the clawback liability would be different. First Choice estimates that significant variations from its current projections could increase its clawback liability by up to an additional $6.1 million.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets. TNP has goodwill related to the Merger that had a carrying value of $270.3 million as of June 30, 2003. As discussed in Note 6, TNP has apportioned the carrying value of the goodwill between its Regulated Transmission and Distribution segment and First Choice. As of June 30, 2003, TNP had assigned approximately $178.7 million of goodwill to the Regulated Transmission and Distribution segment and approximately $91.6 million to First Choice.

SFAS 142 requires TNP to test goodwill for impairment at least annually and more frequently when indicators of impairment exist. TNP performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2002, and concluded that the fair value of the goodwill related to the Merger exceeded its carrying value.

To determine the fair value of the goodwill, TNP estimated the fair value of the Regulated Transmission and Distribution and First Choice segments. TNP’s estimate was based on the present value of the projected cash flows of each segment. Projected cash flows for the segments were derived from TNP’s five-year financial forecast.

The five-year forecast is subject to a number of estimates, including projections of customer growth and margins at First Choice. To the extent the assumptions are not achieved, or cannot be sustained, future assumptions may require modification, and such modifications would affect the estimates of expected cash flows contained in TNP’s annual goodwill impairment test. Accordingly, TNP’s conclusion regarding the fair value of goodwill would be affected by changes in the five-year financial forecast.

In June 2003, TNP tested the goodwill related to the Merger based on the current five-year forecast that reflects changes regarding customer growth and other factors at First Choice resulting from current market conditions. TNP concluded that, based on the current forecast, the fair value of the goodwill related to the Merger exceeded its carrying value.

Accounting for Derivatives—Normal Purchases and Sales. In the normal course of business TNMP and First Choice enter into commodity contracts, which include “swing” components for additional purchases of electricity, in order to meet customer requirements. In most circumstances, such contracts would be defined as derivatives under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” However, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has defined criteria by which option-type and forward contracts for electricity could qualify for the normal purchase and sales exception provided by SFAS 133. Based on the FASB’s guidance, the management of TNMP and First Choice has determined that their respective contracts for electricity qualify for the normal purchases and sales exception. Accordingly, TNMP and First Choice do not account for their respective electricity contracts as derivatives.

If TNMP and First Choice were required to account for their respective electricity contracts as derivatives, the fair values of the contracts would be recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities. Changes in the fair values of the contracts would be recognized in earnings.

Recoverable Stranded Costs—Sale of TNP One. TNMP sold TNP One in October 2002. Based on the sale, the fair value of TNP One, less cost to sell, was $117.5 million. The book value of TNP One at December 31, 2001, was approximately $418.5 million. TNMP believes that the difference between the fair value of TNP One, net of selling costs, and its book value at December 31, 2001, is recoverable from TNMP’s Texas transmission and distribution customers under the provisions of Senate Bill 7. Accordingly, TNMP has recorded a regulatory asset for recoverable stranded cost of approximately $301.0 million.

Under the provisions of Senate Bill 7, the amount and manner of stranded cost recovery is subject to review and approval by the PUCT as part of the stranded cost true-up proceeding that will occur in 2004. Accordingly, action taken by the PUCT in the true-up proceeding could affect the ultimate recovery of the amounts recorded as recoverable stranded costs. Recovery of significantly less than the $301 million of estimated stranded costs currently recorded could have a material impact on the financial position and cash flows of TNMP and TNP.

Gross profit decrease	$	(13,050	)	$	(48,242	)

Gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, decreased $13.1 million and $48.2 million, respectively, compared with the corresponding 2002 periods. The decreases in both periods resulted from higher purchased power expenses, partially offset by increased revenues from both price-to-beat and competitive customers.

Revenues from price-to-beat customers for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2003 increased $19.0 million and $31.5 million, respectively, compared with the same period in 2002. The increases resulted from changes in the price-to-beat fuel factor that were implemented in August 2002, February 2003, March 2003 and April 2003.

Revenues from competitive customers, net of transmission and distribution charges, increased $29.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared with the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Changes in rates accounted for $11.8 million of the increase. During the second quarter of 2003, First Choice charged competitive customers higher rates to offset increasing natural gas prices. The remaining $18.0 million increase reflects higher sales resulting from First Choice’s acquisition of customers in the competitive market.

Revenues from competitive customers, net of transmission and distribution charges, increased $63.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2002. Changes in rates accounted for $10.3 million of the increase, and higher sales accounted for $53.3 million of the increase. The increases are attributable to the same factors that affected revenues from competitive customers for the second quarter.

Retail electric providers such as First Choice include a transmission and distribution charge in the prices they charge their customers for electric service. The transmission and distribution charge is regulated by the PUCT and is designed to allow the utility that provides transmission and distribution services within a specific service area, referred to as the transmission and distribution service provider, to recover its cost of service. During the three months ended June 30, 2003, First Choice billed its customers and incurred transmission and distribution costs related to sales to competitive customers of $27.5 million, compared with $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, First Choice billed and incurred transmission and distribution costs related to sales to competitive customers of $51.1 million, compared with $21.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. As noted above, the increases reflect the acquisition of customers in the competitive market by First Choice.

Transmission and distribution revenues and costs related to price-to-beat sales were $26.6 million for the second quarter of 2003, compared with $27.2 million for the second quarter of 2002. Price-to-beat-related transmission and distribution costs were $51.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with $45.0 million for the six months for the six months ended June 30, 2003.

Purchased power and fuel expenses increased $60.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the amount incurred in the same period in 2002. Increases in the price of natural gas were primarily responsible for $37.9 million of the increase. The price increases accelerated in December 2002, and First Choice responded to the increases by seeking increases in the price-to-beat fuel factor and by purchasing natural gas options to mitigate the risk of increasing natural gas prices. First Choice began implementing its strategy in November 2002, as discussed in Note 7. An additional $23.0 million of the increase is primarily attributable to increased purchases of power to supply customers acquired by First Choice in the competitive market.

Purchased power and fuel expenses increased $141.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the amount incurred in the same period in 2002. Increases in the price of natural gas were primarily responsible for $82.4 million of the increase. Increases in fees charged by ERCOT related to administration of the competitive market also contributed to the increase in purchased power and fuel expense. An additional $55.1 million of the increase is primarily attributable to increased purchases of power to supply customers acquired by First Choice in the competitive market.

Other Operating and Maintenance

Other operating and maintenance expenses for the second quarter of 2003 increased $3.2 million compared with the same period in 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, other operating and maintenance expenses increased $9.0 million compared with the same period in 2002. The increases resulted from a higher reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, higher customer acquisition costs and increased personnel costs in First Choice’s customer service organization.

TNMP Results

TNMP had income applicable to common stock of $8.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared with income applicable to common stock of $9.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, TNMP had income applicable to common stock of $15.9 million compared with income applicable to common stock of $16.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The changes in TNMP’s earnings for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003 are attributable to the factors listed below (in millions):

	Earnings Increase (Decrease)

Gross profit increase (decrease)	$	323		$	(2,465	)

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2003, increased $0.3 million, or 0.7 percent compared with the corresponding 2002 period. The overall increase is attributable to higher electric service revenues, including fees, and higher weather-related sales in residential and commercial classes. These increases were offset by revenue received from the sale of TNP One output during 2002.

Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2003, decreased $2.5 million, or 2.8 percent compared with the corresponding 2002 period. The decrease is attributable to revenue received from the sale of TNP One output during 2002 and revenues from the billing of bundled rates in January 2002. The decrease was partially offset by the same factors that increased revenues for the second quarter, as discussed above.

Although retail competition began on January 1, 2002, former customers of TNMP were transferred to First Choice following their January 2002 meter reading. As a result, TNMP’s January 2002 revenues include charges for service rendered through January 2002 meter reading dates at prices that reflect the integrated operations of TNMP prior to competition. Beginning in February 2002, TNMP’s revenues reflected rates designed to recover TNMP’s cost of providing transmission and distribution service under the provisions of Senate Bill 7.

In the first quarter of 2002, TNMP sold the output of TNP One to First Choice, which used the power to serve the load of its customers. Beginning in April 2002, TNMP sold the output of TNP One to third parties, until the sale of TNP One in October 2002.

Purchased power and fuel expenses decreased $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the amount incurred in the same period in 2002. Expenses in 2002 included $10.7 million of TNP One fuel costs.

Purchased power and fuel expenses decreased $23.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the amount incurred in the same period in 2002. Expenses in 2002 included $22.1 million of TNP One fuel costs.

Operating Expenses

TNMP incurred operating expenses of $45.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, a decrease of $11.8 million from the amount incurred during the corresponding period of 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, TNMP incurred operating expenses of $91.6 million, a decrease of $27.7 million from the amount incurred during the corresponding period of 2002. Operating expenses included in the determination of gross profit decreased $9.1 million and $22.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the same periods in 2002.

Operating expenses that are included in the determination of gross profit are discussed above in “TNMP Gross Profit.” The remaining components of the changes in operating expenses are discussed below.

Other Operating and Maintenance

Other operating and maintenance expenses decreased $1.9 million and $3.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the same periods in 2002 respectively. The decrease is related to operating cost of TNP One, which was sold in October 2002.

Taxes Other Than Income Taxes

Taxes other than income taxes decreased $0.9 million and $2.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, compared with the corresponding 2002 periods. The decrease is primarily related to ad valorem taxes at TNP One, which was sold in October 2002.

Interest Expenses

Interest expenses increased $3.2 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002. The increases are attributable to $3.1 million of charges associated with the termination of TNMP’s interest rate swaps upon the issuance of $250 million of Senior Notes by TNMP in June 2003.

Financial Condition

TNP Liquidity

TNP’s main sources of liquidity, and its ability to service the debt issued to finance the Merger, depend primarily on the earnings of its subsidiaries, TNMP and First Choice. TNP receives distributions of those earnings in the form of cash dividends, as well as payments from its subsidiaries under a tax sharing agreement.

Senior Credit Facility. TNP’s Senior Credit Facility includes a $70.5 million term loan due in 2005 and a $15 million revolving credit facility that expires on August 7, 2003. The revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility originally had a commitment of $25 million and was scheduled to expire in April 2003. Banks with commitments of $15 million have agreed to extend the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility on two occasions, resulting in the current commitment level and expiration date. TNP had no borrowings against the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility as of June 30, 2003, and the entire $15 million was available to TNP, subject to compliance with covenants in this facility. TNP anticipates either securing financing to replace, or extending the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Facility prior to its expiration.

The Senior Credit Facility contains various financial covenants with which TNP must comply. Due to losses during the first quarter of 2003 at First Choice resulting from high natural gas prices, and increased amounts of outstanding debt due to the termination of TNMP’s factoring agreement early in 2002, TNP did not comply with one financial covenant for the period ended March 31, 2003. In May 2003, TNP obtained a modification of that financial covenant, as well as a second covenant. Additional covenants pertaining to risk management practices will be implemented with this amendment. The amendment allows TNP to meet the covenant, which was in noncompliance for the period ended March 31, 2003, and TNP expects to comply with all covenants for the periods covered by the modifications, which extend to September 30, 2004.

-29-

For the six months ended June 30, 2003, TNP’s cash flow from operations was $18.5 million higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The factors causing the increase in cash flow from operations are summarized in the following table (in millions).

	Cash Flow Increase (Decrease)
	Six Months Ended June 30, 2003 v. 2002
Increased cash flow from sales	$	110.7
Reversal of cash flow reduction in 2002 due to termination of factoring agreement		49.6
Higher purchased power payments		(94.7	)
Cash paid for natural gas options		(19.1	)
Increased cash paid to suppliers		(35.5	)
All other		7.5

Change in TNP consolidated cash flow from operations	$	18.5

Cash flow from sales increased due to the acquisition of customers in the competitive market and increases in the price-to-beat fuel factor. Cash flow in the first half of 2002 was reduced due to the termination of TNMP’s factoring agreement in February 2002. As discussed in First Choice Gross Profit, purchased power expenses increased in the first half of 2003 due to rising natural gas prices and increased purchases as a result of higher sales to both competitive and price-to-beat customers. First Choice purchased natural gas options in the first half of 2003 as part of a strategy to mitigate the risk of increasing natural gas prices, as discussed in Note 7. The increased payments to suppliers are primarily attributable to increased transmission and distribution charges, which were addressed in First Choice Gross Profit.

Cash dividends from TNMP and First Choice to TNP are limited by restrictions in the respective companies’ debt indentures and bank agreements. In addition, the regulatory orders from the PUCT and the NMPRC approving the Merger contain additional restrictions on TNMP’s ability to pay cash dividends to TNP. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, TNMP paid dividends $18.4 million to TNP.

For the six months ended June 2003, TNMP made a tax sharing payment of $8.4 million to TNP, and TNP made a tax sharing payment of $1.2 million to First Choice.

In April 2003, TNP made a $10 million equity contribution to First Choice.

Management believes that dividends from its subsidiaries, payments under the tax sharing agreement, and periodic borrowings under its revolving credit facility should be sufficient to meet TNP’s working capital requirements at least through the end of 2004.

TNMP and First Choice Liquidity

TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. First Choice and TNMP may borrow up to $90 million, in the aggregate, under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. Prior to the sale of TNMP Senior Notes described below, First Choice and TNMP had the ability to borrow up to $291.9 million under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. TNMP may borrow subject to a guarantee by First Choice. First Choice may borrow funds, or have letters of credit issued, under the credit facility subject to a guarantee by TNMP. TNMP’s guarantee is limited to $75 million due to an order issued by the NMPRC in December 2001. Accordingly, First Choice’s borrowings and issuances of letters of credit are limited to $75 million.

TNMP Liquidity. On June 10, 2003, TNMP completed the sale of $250 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2008. A portion of the proceeds from this sale was used to repay TNMP’s outstanding borrowings under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. At the same time, TNMP reduced the commitments under that facility from $291.9 million to $90 million. As a result of the sale, TNMP has adequate cash to meet its working capital needs without the need for additional bank financing.

-30-

TNMP’s cash flow from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $58.0 million higher than in the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increased cash flow was primarily due to First Choice assuming the energy supply activities of TNMP in Texas at the beginning of retail competition, which resulted in TNMP making lower payments for fuel and purchased power costs in the first half of 2003. In addition, the sale of TNP One resulted in lower ad valorem tax payments in the first half of 2003 compared with the corresponding period in 2002.

TNMP has sufficient liquidity to satisfy the possibility of any known contingencies. Management believes cash flow from operations and cash on hand as a result of the issuance of the TNMP Senior Notes should be sufficient to meet working capital requirements at least through the end of 2005.

First Choice Liquidity. Following the sale of the TNMP Senior Notes, First Choice may continue to borrow from the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. As noted above, First Choice can borrow or issue letters of credit for up to $75 million under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility, subject to TNMP’s guarantee. At June 30, 2003, First Choice had outstanding borrowings of $7 million and had issued letters of credit of $28.7 million under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. In addition, TNMP had guaranteed First Choice’s performance under the power supply contract with Constellation for $25 million. As discussed in Note 7, First Choice amended its power supply agreement with Constellation. As a result of the amendment, TNMP’s ability to guarantee First Choice’s $25 million performance under the Constellation contract is subject to TNMP maintaining a credit rating of at least BB+ from S&P or at least Ba1 from Moody’s. Should TNMP’s ratings fall below those levels, First Choice would be required to issue additional letters of credit under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2003, First Choice had the ability to borrow or issue letters of credit under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility in the amount of $14.3 million.

First Choice’s ability to continue to grow its operations is contingent upon the availability of adequate credit capacity. This capacity is needed to provide credit support to power suppliers when arranging for long-term purchases of power. Under the terms of First Choice’s energy supply agreements, First Choice is required to post collateral with suppliers to cover both settlement exposure and mark-to-market exposure. Settlement exposure is the cost of energy that First Choice has received but for which payment has not yet been made. Mark-to-market exposure is the difference between the contracted price of energy for future periods and the then-current forward market price of the contracted energy. An increase in the quantity and/or price of energy, such as in the summer months, increases the settlement exposure. A decrease in the market price of energy increases the mark-to-market exposure. Conversely, an increase in the market price of energy decreases the mark-to-market exposure. A significant decline in the market price of natural gas and/or electricity, or a continuation of First Choice’s success in acquiring new customers, absent the availability of additional credit resources, could limit First Choice’s ability to provide additional credit support to Constellation or other power suppliers. Potential additional credit resources for First Choice other than the existing TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility, which expires in October 2003, include, but are not limited to, posting of cash collateral with power suppliers or with lenders who would, in turn, provide letters of credit.

First Choice is currently negotiating to secure a credit facility that would be secured by its accounts receivable. The proposed facility would have a term of three years, a total commitment of approximately $125 million and borrowings under the proposed facility would be limited to a ratio of First Choice’s eligible accounts receivable. First Choice estimates that the proposed facility would provide a minimum of approximately $60 million and a maximum of $105 million of borrowing capacity. Borrowings under the proposed facility would not require TNMP’s guarantee.

In April 2003, First Choice received a $10 million equity contribution from TNP. First Choice used the funds for general corporate purposes.

Management believes cash flow from operations, equity infusions from TNP, periodic borrowings under existing credit facilities and the sale of assets should be sufficient to meet working capital and credit requirements at least through the expiration of the credit facility in October 2003. As discussed above, First Choice is negotiating to secure financing to provided additional credit and replace the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility prior to October 2003.

Guarantees Under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility. The guarantees made by TNMP and First Choice under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility require each to assume the obligations of the other in the event of default. As of June 30, 2003, TNMP had a maximum potential liability under its guarantees of First Choice borrowings, issuances of letters of credit and performance under the Constellation contract of $60.7 million. The guarantees are in force until the expiration of the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility in October 2003.

-31-

First Choice does not have any guarantees of TNMP borrowings in force as a result of TNMP’s repayment of its outstanding borrowings under the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility, as discussed in TNMP Liquidity.

Intercompany Loans. Both the TNMP/First Choice Credit Facility and the Senior Credit Facility allow intercompany loans to be made between TNMP and First Choice. As of June 30, 2003, all intercompany loans were retired. Due to the sale of TNMP Senior Notes discussed in TNMP Liquidity, TNMP and First Choice do not expect to utilize intercompany loans in the foreseeable future.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

As of July 18, 2003, the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers of TNP and TNMP evaluated the effectiveness of the companies’ disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to applicable Exchange Act Rules. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers of TNP and TNMP have each concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to their respective companies (including their consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in TNP’s or TNMP’s periodic SEC filings.

There have been no significant changes in TNP’s or TNMP’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to July 18, 2003.

Statement Regarding Forward Looking Information

The discussions in this document that are not historical facts, including, but not limited to, future cash flows and the potential recovery of stranded costs are based upon current expectations. Actual results may differ materially. Among the facts that could cause the results to differ materially from expectations are the following: our ability to adapt to open market competition; resolution of problems with computer systems of ERCOT and other market participants that support the competitive market in Texas and facilitate the customer switching process; the ability of First Choice to attract and retain customers as competition moves forward; the effects of accounting pronouncements that may be issued periodically; changes in regulations affecting TNP’s and TNMP’s businesses; decisions in connection with regulatory proceedings; insurance coverage available for claims made in litigation; general business and economic conditions, and price fluctuations in the electric power and natural gas markets; extensions and refinancings of expiring credit facilities; waivers or modifications of provisions in the Senior Credit Facility; and other factors described from time to time in TNP’s and TNMP’s reports filed with the SEC. TNP and TNMP wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward looking statements, which are made pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and, as such, speak only as of the date made.
