Item 5. Other Events
PNM Resources, Inc. and Public Service Company of New Mexico
(collectively the "Company") conform their presentation of information contained
in their 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect matters previously disclosed
in their First Quarter 2003 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
During 2002, the Company's Utility Operations business segment evolved.
On January 28, 2003, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission ("PRC")
approved the Global Electric Agreement which sets a rate path through 2007.
Pursuant to the Global Electric Agreement, Electric Services ("Electric") became
a fully integrated retail energy supply business. As a result of that evolution,
the Company's generation activities changed from a stand-alone operation to a
function that became mostly integrated with the distribution energy supply
business, which primarily serves to optimize the value of that business. As
specified in the Global Electric Agreement, the Company's generation activities
were designated to support either its rate-regulated electric retail customers
or its wholesale customers. Therefore, upon review and in accordance with SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information"
("SFAS 131"), and as disclosed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003, the Company determined that Electric's generation and
distribution components no longer meet the definition of separate operating
segments for financial reporting purposes and the Company reported the financial
position and results of operations of the majority of its generation and
distribution activities as one segment. All prior periods have been reclassified
to conform to the current presentation and include certain estimates and
allocations where necessary.
This current report on Form 8-K ("report") conforms the information
contained in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K to the presentation
reported in its First Quarter 2003 Form 10-Q. Accordingly, this report revises
information previously reported in the Company's 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K
to reflect the following matters which have previously been disclosed in reports
filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
No attempt has been made in this Form 8-K to modify or update other
disclosures as presented in the original Form 10-K except as required to reflect
the effects of those items as described below.
This report is limited to the reclassifications to reflect:
o a change in business segment reporting;
o a change in the reporting of trading revenues and costs; and
o removal of non-GAAP financial measures from the Company's 2002 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31,
2003, in accordance with the consensus reached in October 2002 relating to EITF
Issue No. 02-3, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for
Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management
Activities" ("EITF 02-3") and EITF 98-10 "Accounting for Contracts Involved in
Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities ("EITF 98-10"), beginning in the
first quarter of 2003, the Company reclassified prior periods for those
contracts previously accounted for under EITF 98-10 to conform to a net margin
presentation as required by EITF 02-3. As a result, both operating revenues and
cost of energy sold were reduced by approximately $74.0 million, $89.4 million
and $99.7 million for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively. This change in presentation did not have an effect on gross
margins, net income or cash flows.
2
In conjunction with filing this Report, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer have performed the procedures
necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures, as required by Section 302 (a) (4) (c) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. Based on this evaluation, the Company believes that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures to update the Company's 2002 Form 10-K as
described in Item 5 of this Report, are effective in that they provide
reasonable assurance that material information is made known so that it may be
included in the Report.
Such officers do not believe there have been significant changes in
internal controls or in other factors based on their evaluation on June 5, 2003
that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

THE COMPANY
PNM Resources, Inc. ("Holding Company") was incorporated in the State of
New Mexico on March 3, 2000. The Holding Company's principal subsidiary Public
Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM") was incorporated in the State of New
Mexico on May 9, 1917. This filing for PNM Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries and
PNM is presented on a combined basis. The Holding Company and PNM have their
principal offices at Alvarado Square, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87158 (telephone
number 505-241-2700). The Holding Company is an investor-owned holding company
of energy and energy-related companies. PNM is a public utility primarily
engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution, sale and marketing of
electricity, and in the transmission, distribution and sale of natural gas
within the State of New Mexico. The business of PNM constitutes substantially
all of the business of PNM Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries. Therefore, the
financial results and results of operations of PNM are virtually identical to
the consolidated results of the Holding Company and all its subsidiaries. For
ease of discussion, this report may use the term "Company" when referring to PNM
or when discussing matters of common applicability to the Holding Company and
PNM.
Upon the completion on December 31, 2001 of a one-for-one share exchange
between PNM and the Holding Company, the Holding Company became the parent
company of PNM. Prior to the share exchange, the Holding Company had existed as
a subsidiary of PNM. The new parent company began trading on the New York Stock
Exchange under the same PNM symbol beginning on December 31, 2001.
As it currently operates, the Company's principal business segments are
Utility Operations, Wholesale Operations ("Wholesale") and Corporate and Other.
Utility Operations include Electric Services ("Electric") and Gas Services
("Gas"). Electric consists of the distribution, transmission and generation of
electricity for retail electric customers in New Mexico. Gas includes the
transportation and distribution of natural gas to end-users. Wholesale consists
of the generation and sale of electricity into the wholesale market based on
three product lines, which are long-term contracts, forward sales and short-term
sales.
UTILITY OPERATIONS
Electric
The Company provides jurisdictional retail electric service to a large
area of north central New Mexico, including the City of Albuquerque ("COA") and
the City of Santa Fe, and certain other areas of New Mexico. The largest retail
electric customer served by the Company accounted for approximately 4.8% of the
Company's total retail electric revenues for the year ended December 31, 2002.
For the years 2000 through 2002, retail KWh sales have grown at a
compound annual rate of approximately 2.4%. The Company's system peak demands
for its retail customers and firm requirements customers in summer and winter
for the last three years are shown in the following table:
4
SYSTEM PEAK DEMANDS
(Megawatts)
2002 2001 2000
--------- --------- ---------
Summer............................ 1,456 1,397 1,368
Winter............................ 1,297 1,294 1,211
The Company holds long-term, non-exclusive franchise agreements for its
electric retail operations, expiring between May 2003 and November 2028. These
franchise agreements provide the Company access to public rights-of-way for
placement of the Company's electric facilities. The COA, City of Santa Fe, Town
of Cochiti Lake, Bernalillo County, Luna County, Sandoval County, San Miguel
County, Village of Bosque Farms, Pueblo de Cochiti and Village of Tijeras
franchises have expired. The COA metropolitan area accounted for approximately
53% of the Company's 2002 total electric utility operating revenues, and no
other franchise area represents more than approximately 8%. The Company
continues to collect and pay franchise fees to the COA, City of Santa Fe, the
Town of Cochiti Lake, Village of Bosque Farms and Village of Tijeras. The
Company currently does not pay franchise fees to Bernalillo County, Luna County,
Sandoval County and San Miguel County. The Company remains obligated under New
Mexico state law to provide service to customers in these franchise areas even
in the absence of a franchise agreement.
The Company owns or leases 2,897 circuit miles of transmission lines,
interconnected with other utilities in New Mexico, east and south into Texas,
west into Arizona, and north into Colorado and Utah. Due to rapid load growth in
the Company's service territory in recent years and the lack of transmission
development, most of the capacity on this transmission system is fully committed
and there is very little or no additional access available on a firm commitment
basis. These factors result in physical constraints on the system and limit the
ability to wheel power into the Company's service area from outside New Mexico.
Gas
Gas operations distributes natural gas to most of the major communities
in New Mexico, including the COA and the City of Santa Fe. The COA metropolitan
area accounted for approximately 44% of the total gas revenues in 2002. No
single sales-service customer accounted for more than approximately 1% of the
Company's therm sales in 2002. The Company holds long-term, non-exclusive
franchises with varying expiration dates in all incorporated communities
requiring franchise agreements except for the COA, City of Santa Fe, Aztec,
Village of Bosque Farms, Town of Cochiti Lake, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque and
Tatum. The Company remains obligated to serve these franchise areas pursuant to
state law even in the absence of a franchise agreement.
The Company's customer base includes both sales-service customers and
transportation-service customers. Sales-service customers purchase natural gas
and receive transportation and delivery services from the Company for which the
Company receives both cost-of-gas and cost-of-service revenues. Cost-of-gas
revenues collected from on-system sales-service customers are recovered in
accordance with PRC regulations and represent a pass-through of the Company's
cost of natural gas to the customer. Since the Company obtains its natural gas
5
supply on the open market from non-affiliated third-party producers, the
Company's operating results are not affected by an increase or decrease in
natural gas prices. Additionally, the Company makes occasional gas sales to
off-system customers. Off-system sales deliveries generally occur at interstate
pipeline interconnects with the Company's system.
Transportation-service customers, who procure gas independently of the
Company and contract with the Company for transportation and related services,
provide the Company with cost-of-service revenues only. Transportation services
are provided to gas marketers, producers and end users for delivery to locations
throughout its distribution systems, as well as for delivery to interstate
pipelines. The Company provided gas transportation deliveries to approximately
1,360 gas marketers, producers and end users during 2002.
During 2002, approximately 49% of the Company's total gas throughput was
related to transportation gas deliveries. The Company's transportation rates are
unbundled, and transportation customers only pay for the service they receive.
Cost-of-gas revenues, received from sales-service and off-system customers, and
other PGAC-related revenues accounted for approximately 51% of the Company's
total gas operating revenues in 2002. Since a major portion of the Company's
load is related to heating, levels of therm sales are affected by weather.
Approximately 63% of the Company's total therm sales in 2002 occurred in the
months of January, February, March and December.
The Company obtains its supply of natural gas primarily from sources
within New Mexico by contracting with third party producers and marketers. These
contracts are generally sufficient to meet the Company's peak-day demand. The
Company serves certain cities which depend on El Paso Natural Gas Company or
Transwestern Pipeline Company for transportation of gas supplies. Because these
cities are not directly connected to the Company's transmission facilities, gas
transported by these companies is the sole supply source for those cities. Such
transportation is regulated by FERC. As a result of FERC Order 636, the
Company's options for transporting gas to these cities and other portions of its
distribution system have increased.
WHOLESALE OPERATIONS
The Company's Wholesale Operations consists of the generation and sale of
electricity into the wholesale market based on three product lines, which are
long-term contracts, forward sales and short-term sales. Long-term contracts
include sales to firm-requirements wholesale customers with multi-year
arrangements. These contracts range from 2 to 17 years with an average of 7.5
years. Forward sales include sales of excess generation and third party
purchases in the forward market that range from 1 month to 3 years. These
transactions do not qualify as normal sales and purchases as defined in SFAS 133
and as a result, are generally marked to market. Short-term sales generally
include spot market, hour ahead, day ahead and week ahead contracts with terms
of 30 days or less. Also included are sales of any excess generation not
required to fulfill PNM's retail load and contractual commitments. Short-term
sales also cover the revenue credit to retail customers as specified in the
Global Electric Agreement.
The Wholesale Operations strategy calls for increased asset-backed energy
sales supported by long-term contracts and the wholesale market. The
asset-backed sales are actively monitored by management by the use of stringent
risk management policies. The Company's future growth plans call for
approximately 75% of its new generation portfolio to be committed through
long-term contracts, including sales to retail customers. Growth will be
dependent on market development, and upon the Company's ability to generate
funds for the Company's future expansion. Although the current economic
6
environment has led the Company to scale back its expansion plans, the Company
will continue to operate in the wholesale market and seek rationally priced
asset additions. Expansion of the Company's generating portfolio will depend
upon acquiring favorably priced assets at strategic locations and securing
long-term commitments for the purchase of power from the acquired plants.
Power Sales
All information disclosed under power sales in the 2002 Annual Report on
Form 10-K remains the same except for the Wholesale strategy as discussed above.
CORPORATE AND OTHER
(formerly Unregulated Operations)
The Holding Company incurs substantially all of the corporate activities
of PNM. These activities are billed to PNM on a cost basis to the extent they
are for the corporate management of PNM and are allocated to the operating
segments. The Holding Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Avistar, was formed in
August 1999 as a New Mexico corporation and is currently engaged in certain
unregulated and non-utility businesses. In January 2002, Avistar was transferred
by way of a dividend to the Holding Company pursuant to an order from the PRC.
SOURCES OF POWER
Previously in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company disclosed
sources of power under its Generation and Marketing business segment. As the
generation activities of the Company now support both the Electric and Wholesale
business segments, this section now applies to both business segments.
FUEL AND WATER SUPPLY
Previously in the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company disclosed
fuel and water supply under its Generation and Marketing business segment. As
the generation activities of the Company now support both the Electric and
Wholesale business segments, this section now applies to both business segments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for PNM Resources, Inc. ("Holding Company") and its
Subsidiaries and Public Service Company of New Mexico ("PNM") (collectively, the
"Company") is presented on a combined basis. The Holding Company assumed
substantially all of the corporate activities of PNM on December 31, 2001. These
activities are billed to PNM on a cost basis to the extent they are for the
corporate management of PNM. In January 2002, Avistar, Inc. ("Avistar") and
certain inactive subsidiaries were transferred by way of a dividend to the
Holding Company pursuant to an order from the New Mexico Public Regulation
Commission ("PRC"). The reader of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations should assume that the information
presented applies to consolidated results of operations and financial position
of both PNM Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries and PNM, except where the context
or references clearly indicate otherwise. Discussions regarding specific
contractual obligations generally reference the company that is legally
obligated. In the case of contractual obligations of PNM, these obligations are
consolidated with PNM Resources, Inc. and its Subsidiaries under Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). Broader operational discussion
references the Company.
The following is management's assessment of the Company's financial
condition and the significant factors affecting the results of operations. This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and related notes. Trends and contingencies of a material
nature are discussed to the extent known and considered relevant.
OVERVIEW
The Holding Company is an investor-owned holding company of energy and
energy related companies. Its principal subsidiary, PNM, is an integrated public
utility primarily engaged in the generation, transmission, distribution and sale
and marketing of electricity; transmission, distribution and sale of natural gas
within the State of New Mexico; and the sale and marketing of electricity in the
Western United States.
Upon the completion on December 31, 2001 of a one-for-one share exchange
between PNM and the Holding Company, the Holding Company became the parent
company of PNM. Prior to the share exchange, the Holding Company had existed as
a subsidiary of PNM. The new parent company began trading on the New York Stock
Exchange under the same PNM symbol beginning on December 31, 2001.
COMPETITIVE STRATEGY
The Company is positioned as a "merchant utility," primarily operating as
a regulated energy service provider. The Company is also engaged in the sale and
marketing of electricity in the competitive energy market place. As a utility,
PNM has an obligation to serve its customers under the jurisdiction of the PRC.
As a wholesale electricity provider, PNM markets excess production from the
utility, as well as unregulated generation, into a competitive marketplace. As
part of its electric wholesale power operation, the Company may purchase
10
wholesale electricity in the open market for future resale or to provide energy
to retail customers in New Mexico when the Company's generation assets cannot
satisfy demand. The wholesale operations utilize an asset-backed strategy,
whereby the Company's aggregate net open position for the sale of electricity is
covered by the Company's forecasted excess generation capabilities.
As it currently operates, the Company's principal business segments are
Utility Operations, Wholesale Operations ("Wholesale") and Corporate and Other.
Utility Operations include Electric Services ("Electric") and Gas Services
("Gas"). Electric consists of the distribution, transmission and generation of
electricity for retail customers in New Mexico. Gas includes the transportation
and distribution of natural gas to end-users. Wholesale consists of the
generation and sale of electricity into the wholesale market based on three
product lines which are long-term contracts, forward sales and short-term sales.
The Utility Operations strategy is directed at supplying reasonably
priced and reliable energy to retail customers through customer-driven
operational excellence, high quality customer service, cost efficient processes,
and improved overall organizational performance.
The Wholesale Operations strategy calls for increased asset-backed energy
sales supported by long-term contracts and the wholesale market. The
asset-backed sales are actively monitored by management by the use of stringent
risk management policies. The Company's future growth plans call for
approximately 75% of its new generation portfolio to be committed through
long-term contracts, including sales to retail customers. Growth will be
dependent on market development, and upon the Company's ability to generate
funds for the Company's future expansion. Although the current economic
environment has led the Company to scale back its expansion plans, the Company
will continue to operate in the wholesale market and seek rationally priced
asset additions. Expansion of the Company's generating portfolio will depend
upon acquiring favorably priced assets at strategic locations and securing
long-term commitments for the purchase of power from the acquired plants.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Year Ended December 31, 2002 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2001
Consolidated
The Company's net earnings available to common shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 2002 were $63.7 million, a 57.5% decrease in net earnings
from $149.8 million in 2001. This decrease primarily reflects the slowdown in
the wholesale electric market, where both prices and market liquidity were
significantly lower than the prior year. Despite the slowdown in the wholesale
electric market, PNM's electric utility operations recorded a gross margin
growth of 3.3%. This growth came from a combination of load growth and
utilization of lower cost generation demonstrating the balance the regulated
utility provides in the Company's "merchant utility" strategy.

The following discussion is based on the financial information presented
in the Consolidated Financial Statements - Segment Note as updated in this Form
8-K (see Note (2)). Corporate allocations, income taxes and non-operating items
are discussed only on a consolidated basis.
Utility Operations
The following presentation sets forth the operating results for Electric
(inclusive of transmission activities) for fiscal year 2002 compared to 2001.
Subsequent to filing the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the
Company changed the segment reporting for Utility Operations to disaggregate its
presentation of Electric and transmission activities ("Transmission"). Based on
this change, set forth below also is a presentation of the operating results for
Electric (without Transmission) and for Transmission, in each case for the
fiscal year 2002 compared to 2001.

Operating revenues increased $10.9 million or 1.9% for the period to
$570.1 million. Retail electricity delivery grew 2.1% to 7.4 million MWh in 2002
compared to 7.3 million MWh delivered in the prior year, resulting in increased
revenues of $14.4 million year-over-year. This volume increase was the result of
a weather-driven increase in consumption and continued customer growth. Year
over year, customer growth was 1.8%. This increase in revenues was partially
offset by a decrease of $3.4 million in revenues from third party sales of the
Company's transmission capacity due to the slowdown in the wholesale market
The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
increased $13.7 million or 3.3%, which reflects the increased energy sales and
the utilization of lower cost purchased power to serve jurisdictional needs
based on a change in negotiated contract rates.
Total non-fuel O&M decreased $13.5 million or 7.1%. Energy production
costs decreased $5.0 million or 4.1% for the period reflecting the benefits of
$2.0 million for the acceleration into 2001 of a planned outage at San Juan
Generating Station ("SJGS"), decreased costs of $3.0 million for planned outages
at SJGS and an adjustment of $3.1 million to prior year Palo Verde Nuclear
13
Generating Station ("PVNGS") billings from Arizona Public Service Company, the
operator of PVNGS. These cost decreases were partially offset by severance costs
of $1.4 million at PVNGS and Four Corners Power Plant ("Four Corners") and costs
of $1.2 million for planned and unplanned outages at Four Corners. Transmission
and distribution costs decreased $3.3 million or 8.8% primarily due to
maintenance performed in 2001 to improve system reliability, which did not recur
in 2002. Customer related expense decreased $1.9 million or 9.8% due to lower
bad debt expense as a result of collection improvements and the absence of
losses from the bankruptcy of a significant customer in 2001. Administrative and
other costs decreased $3.2 million or 30.4% due to an adjustment of $1.4 million
to prior year SJGS participant billings (the Company is the operator of SJGS and
shares costs with other owners) and lower labor due to the transfer of employees
from Electric to Corporate. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.5 million
or 6.8% for the year due to the purchase of transmission plant assets in early
2002 and a higher depreciable base. Taxes other than income increased $2.3
million or 12.4% reflecting adjustments recorded in the prior year for favorable
audit outcomes by certain tax authorities.

* Customer owned gas
Operating revenues decreased $113.3 million or 29.4% for the period to
$272.1 million, primarily because of lower natural gas prices in 2002 as
compared to 2001 and a decrease in gas sales volumes of 6.0%, largely resulting
from fewer purchases from Electric and Wholesale to support gas-fired
generation. Despite the volume decline, customer growth was approximately 2.0%.
PNM purchases natural gas in the open market and resells it at cost to its
distribution customers. As a result, increases or decreases in gas revenues
driven by gas costs do not impact the Company's consolidated gross margin or
earnings.
The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
decreased $1.0 million or 0.8%. This decrease is due mainly to lower consumption
of gas for electric generation of $6.0 million partially offset by a 2.0% growth
in customer base of $5.0 million. Gross margin is expected to decrease in 2003
due to the expiration of a rate rider in January 2003. The Company currently
believes that gas assets are not earning an adequate level of return. As a
result, the Company filed a request for increased rates in January 2003. The
Company's last gas rate case filing was in October 1997.
Total non-fuel O&M decreased $7.5 million or 12.5%. Distribution costs
decreased $1.8 million or 5.7% primarily due to maintenance performed in 2001 to
improve system reliability, which did not recur in 2002. Customer related
expense decreased $3.2 million or 16.2% due to lower bad debt expense because of
collection improvements and the absence of losses from the bankruptcy of a
significant customer in 2001. Administrative and other costs decreased $2.5
million due to lower amortization costs of $1.2 million for SFAS 106 deferred
costs (which were fully amortized in 2001), and lower consulting expenses of
$0.5 million in connection with cost control and process improvement initiatives
in 2001 and lower legal expenses of $0.5 million for routine business matters.
Taxes other than income taxes increased $1.0 million or 14.5% due to the absence
of favorable audit outcomes by certain tax authorities recognized in 2001.

Operating revenues declined $1.1 billion or 80.7% for the year to $251.4
million. This decrease in wholesale electricity sales primarily reflects the
slowdown in the wholesale electric market, which resulted from steep declines in
wholesale prices and market liquidity as compared to the prior year period.
The significantly higher wholesale pricing in 2001 was driven by
increased demand in California, a lack of generating assets to serve the market
and the impact of warm weather. By contrast, 2002 has seen relatively mild
weather in the West, an abundance of low cost hydropower and weak economic
conditions in the region. As a result, the average price realized by the Company
fell to approximately $31 per MWh in 2002 versus $108 per MWh in 2001. The low
wholesale prices are expected to continue into 2003.
The decline in merchant sales volumes reflect the reduction in market
participants in the wholesale market caused by bankruptcy, reduced credit
quality of firms in the market and firms exiting the wholesale market. There are
also significant unresolved legal, political and regulatory issues that had a
dampening effect on activity in the marketplace. As a result, the Company's spot
market and short-term sales have declined significantly. The Company delivered
wholesale (bulk) power of 8.1 million MWh of electricity for the year ended
December 31, 2002, compared to 12.1 million MWh for the same period in 2001.
Although other firms have exited the wholesale market or have had their
access to the wholesale market limited due to concerns over credit quality, the
Company remains committed to be a participant in this market place. While market
liquidity is weak, the Company will focus on long-term relationships with
smaller wholesale customers (small investor-owned utilities, municipal utilities
and co-ops). At the same time, the Company will continue to monitor market
conditions. This commitment to the wholesale market leaves the Company poised to
participate in the market as liquidity returns and regulatory issues are
resolved.
The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
decreased $208.3 million or 79.6%. Lower margins were created primarily by weak
pricing, less price volatility and lower market liquidity. In addition,
unexpected outages at Four Corners reduced availability of power for wholesale
sales. These lower margins were partially offset by a favorable change in the
mark-to-market position of the marketing portfolio of $55.3 million
year-over-year ($29.5 million gain in 2002 versus $25.8 million loss in 2001). A
majority of the gain in 2002 represents the reversal of previously recognized
mark-to-market losses.
Total non-fuel O&M increased $1.7 million or 4.8%. Energy production
costs increased $2.1 million or 7.1% for the period due to costs of $4.0 million
related to the future expansion of Afton Generating Station ("Afton). This cost
increase was partially offset by the benefits of $0.3 million for the
acceleration into 2001 of a planned outage at SJGS, decreased costs of $0.5
million for planned outages at SJGS and an adjustment of $0.5 million to prior
year Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station ("PVNGS") billings from Arizona
Public Service Company, the operator of PVNGS.
20
Corporate and Other
Corporate administrative and general costs, which represent costs that
are driven primarily by corporate-level activities, increased $3.3 million or
3.6% for the period to $95.1 million. This increase was due to severance costs
of $8.8 million resulting from a realignment of the Company's business structure
(the "Realignment"), higher labor of $8.2 million resulting from a transfer of
employees from operations to corporate and outside services of $2.9 million
primarily related to audit and other consulting services. These increases were
partially offset by lower bonus expense of $11.9 million in the current year
resulting from lower earnings projections and lower costs of $4.6 million
resulting from the reduction of certain unregulated activities. In accordance
with EITF 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee - Termination
Benefits and other Costs to Exit an Activity ("EITF 94-3"), the Company incurred
a liability of $8.8 million for severance and other related costs associated
with the involuntary termination of employees in connection with the
realignment. As of December 31, 2002, $3.0 million of severance-related benefits
were paid and charged against the liability.
Consolidating Non-Operating
Other Income and Deductions
Other income decreased by $3.8 million or 7.3% reflecting lower
year-over-year returns on investments reflecting market conditions.
Other deductions decreased $54.9 million or 81.7% primarily due to
charges in 2001 that did not recur in 2002. In 2001, the Company recognized
charges for the write-off of an Avistar investment of $13.1 million, the
write-off of non-recoverable coal mine decommissioning costs of $13.0 million,
non-recoverable regulatory costs of $11.1 million, a contribution to the PNM
Foundation of $5.0 million, and certain costs related to the Company's now
terminated acquisition of Western Resources' electric utility operations of
$18.0 million. In 2002, the Company recognized a gain from the reversal of a
reserve of $2.4 million to reflect the early, successful resolution of the
litigation stemming from the terminated Western Resources transaction and a
charge of $4.8 million for the cancellation of a transmission line project.
Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated income tax expense was $33.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $81.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 2001. The decrease was due to the impact of lower earnings and a
decline in the effective tax rate. The Company's effective income tax rates for
the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were 33.95% and 35.02%, respectively.
The decrease in the effective rate year over year was due to the reduction in
earnings in 2002 without a corresponding reduction in permanent tax benefits and
the recognition of certain affordable housing and research and development
credits in 2002.
21
Year Ended December 31, 2001 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2000
Consolidated
The Company's net earnings available to common shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 2001 were $149.8 million, a 49.3% increase over net earnings
of $100.4 million in 2000. This increase reflects strong market pricing and an
active wholesale electric market in the Western United States in the first half
of 2001 and continuing growth in utility operations.
The following discussion is based on the financial information presented

Subsequent to filing the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the
Company changed the segment reporting for Utility Operations to disaggregate its
presentation of Electric and transmission activities ("Transmission"). Based on
this change, set forth below also is a presentation of the operating results for

Operating revenues increased $20.5 million or 3.8% for the period to
$559.2 million. Retail electricity delivery grew 2.3% to 7.3 million MWh in 2001
compared to 7.1 million MWh delivered in the prior year, resulting in increased
revenues of $8.9 million year-over-year. This volume increase was the result of
load growth from economic expansion in New Mexico. In addition, revenues from
third party use of the Company's transmission system increased $9.7 million as a
result of additional contracts from increased activity in the Western power
market. Revenues also benefited from a $1.1 million increase in revenue from
property leasing.
The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
decreased $10.2 million or 2.4% due to higher cost for the electricity sold to
retail customers resulting from increased use of higher cost generation. In
2001, the Company experienced outages at its coal and nuclear facilities, which
required it to increase its operations at Reeves Generating Station ("Reeves"),
one of the Company's gas generation facilities, which has a higher cost of
production. This decrease was partially offset by increased energy sales,
transmission revenues and property leasing revenue.
23
Total non-fuel O&M increased $15.8 million or 9.1%. Energy production
costs increased $11.3 million or 10.3% for the year. The increase is primarily
due to higher maintenance costs of $6.8 million in 2001 resulting from scheduled
and unscheduled outages at PVNGS, SJGS and Reeves, additional incentive bonuses
of $0.4 million at SJGS, and increased operations costs of $1.0 million for
generation at Reeves, one of the Company's gas generation facilities, which has
a higher cost of production than the Company's coal and nuclear facilities. This
increase was partially offset by lower maintenance costs of $1.1 million at Four
Corners as a result of decreased outage time. A significant unscheduled outage
occurred in the fall of 2001 at SJGS, which resulted in higher costs of $2.0
million in 2001. The Company took advantage of the outage to accelerate its
outage scheduled for the spring of 2002. As a result, maintenance costs and the
related lost market potential of the accelerated outage, was avoided in the
spring of 2002. Transmission and distribution costs increased $4.8 million or
14.4% primarily due to a non-recurring increase in maintenance to improve
reliability for the transmission and distribution systems. Customer related
expense decreased $1.7 million or 7.9% due to lower bad debt and collection
expense. By December 2000, the Company had resolved most of the problems
associated with implementing its new billing system. As a result, bad debt
expense was significantly lower in 2001. Administrative and general costs
increased $1.3 million or 14.4% for the period due to consulting expenses
focused on cost control and process improvement initiatives. Depreciation and
amortization increased $4.2 million or 6.8% due to a higher depreciable plant
base.

The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
decreased $21.9 million or 5.7% due to higher cost for the electricity sold to
retail customers resulting from increased use of higher cost generation. In
2001, the Company experienced outages at its coal and nuclear facilities, which
required it to increase its operations at Reeves, one of the Company's gas
generation facilities, which has a higher cost of production. This decrease was
partially offset by increased energy sales, transmission revenues and property
leasing revenue. Electric exclusively purchases transmission services from
Transmission. These intercompany revenues and expenses are eliminated in the
consolidated results.
25
Total non-fuel O&M increased $13.1 million or 8.4%. Energy production
costs increased $11.6 million or 10.7% for the year. The increase is primarily
due to higher maintenance costs of $6.8 million in 2001 resulting from scheduled

2001. Administrative and general costs increased $1.2 million or 16.7% for the
period due to consulting expenses focused on cost control and process
improvement initiatives. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.9 million or
9.1% due to a higher depreciable plant base. Taxes other than income taxes

*Customer-owned gas.
Operating revenues increased $65.5 million or 20.5% for the period to
$385.4 million. The Company purchases natural gas in the open market and resells
it at cost to its distribution customers. As a result, increased gas revenues
driven by increased gas costs do not impact the Company's gross margin or
earnings. The revenue increase was driven primarily by a 17.6% increase in
average gas prices in the first half of 2001, resulting from increased market
demand. In addition, a 3.1% volume increase and a gas rate increase, which
became effective October 30, 2000 contributed to the increase. The gas rate
increase added $7.8 million of revenue. Transportation volume increased 14.5% or
$6.0 million. This growth was primarily attributed to gas transportation
customers whose increased demand was driven by the strong power market in the
Western United States during the first half of 2001. Approximately $28.1 million
of gas revenue in 2001 was attributable to sales to Electric and Wholesale.
The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
increased $9.5 million or 7.7%. This increase is due to the rate increase and
higher transportation volumes.
Total non-fuel O&M increased $7.8 million or 15.1%. Distribution costs
increased $3.9 million or 14.2% primarily due to a non-recurring increase in
maintenance to improve reliability for the transmission and distribution
systems, as the Company continues to focus on improving reliability and
effectiveness of its retail distribution system. Customer related expense
increased $0.7 million or 3.4% due to increased labor and expenses resulting
from upgrades to the call center and increased collection efforts, partially
offset by decreased bad debt expense as a result of improved bad debt controls.
Administrative and general costs increased $2.9 million or 73.6% due to
consulting expenses incurred in connection with cost control and process
improvement initiatives. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.2 million or
26.2% for the period primarily resulting from the retrofit of the distribution
system to make use of new technology which inspects the integrity of the system.

A significant increase in regional wholesale electric prices occurred in
the first half of 2001 and the second half of 2000. This increase was caused by,
among other things, the power supply/demand imbalance in the Western United
States, a lack of generating assets to serve the market and increased natural
gas prices. The high wholesale prices seen in 2001 and 2000 did not recur in
2002. At the end of the second quarter of 2001, the market experienced declining
price levels. This trend continued in the last half of 2001. As a result, market
liquidity - the opportunity to buy and resell power profitably in the
marketplace - also declined reflecting the bankruptcy of a major market
participant and limited price volatility.
Operating revenues grew $653.6 million or 100.4% for the period to $1.3
billion. This increase in wholesale electricity sales primarily reflects the
strong regional wholesale electric prices in the first half of 2001. The Company
delivered wholesale (bulk) power of 12.1 million MWh of electricity in 2002,
compared to 10.5 million MWh in the prior period. The average price realized by
the Company increased to approximately $108 per MWh in 2001 compared to $62 per
MWh in 2000.
The gross margin, or operating revenues minus cost of energy sold,
increased $155.4 million or 146.4%. The Company's margin benefits significantly
from rising gas prices as most of the Company's generation portfolio is fueled
by stable priced fuel sources, such as coal and uranium. As the increase in gas
prices puts upward pressure on electricity prices, the profitability of the
Company's stable low-cost generation increases significantly. Margin also
benefited from the Company's power marketing activities. The Company buys and
then resells electricity in the market generating incremental margin by taking
advantage of price changes in the electricity sales market. In addition, the
Company also tailors electric deliveries for its wholesale customers creating
incremental margin opportunities. Generally, as market prices decline, marketing
volumes rise supporting margin levels in lower price electric markets. These
higher margins were partially offset by an unfavorable change in the
mark-to-market position of the marketing portfolio of $21.0 million
year-over-year ($25.8 million loss in 2001 versus $4.8 million loss in 2000) as
the Western power market deterioration in the latter half of 2001 resulted in a
reduction of the Company's merchant energy portfolio.
Total non-fuel O&M decreased $3.5 million or 9.0%. Energy production
costs increased $0.9 million or 3.0% for the year. The increase is primarily due
to higher maintenance costs of $1.1 million in 2001 resulting from scheduled and
unscheduled outages at PVNGS, SJGS and Reeves Generating Station ("Reeves").
Customer related expense decreased $4.5 million or 84.6% due to lower
year-over-year Wholesale business development costs due to significant costs
related to the acquisition of a long-term wholesale customer in 2000.
Avistar
In July 2001, the Board of Directors of Avistar decided to wind down all
unregulated operations except for Avistar's Reliadigm business unit, which
provides maintenance solutions and technologies to the electric power industry.
Avistar had previously divested itself of its Energy Partners business unit and
liquidated Axon Field Services and Pathways Integration. This divestiture was
largely in response to market disruptions caused by the California energy
crisis. In addition, the transfer of operation of the Sangre de Cristo Water
Company to the City of Santa Fe was completed in the third quarter of 2001. All
30
remaining non-Reliadigm investments were written-off with the exception of
Avistar's investment in Nth Power, an energy related venture capital fund. These
write-downs reflect the significant decline in the technology market and
bankruptcy of these investees. The Company recorded non-operating charges of
$13.1 million to reflect these activities and the impairment of its Avistar
investments.
Due to the cessation of much of Avistar's historic operations, business
activity declined significantly. Revenues decreased 30.8% for the period to $1.5
million. Operating losses for Avistar decreased from $4.6 million in 2000 to
$4.2 million in 2001 primarily due to decreased costs as a result of the
shutdown of certain operations. In January 2002, Avistar was transferred by way
of a dividend to Holding Company by PNM.
Corporate and Other
Corporate administrative and general costs, which represent costs that
are driven exclusively by corporate-level activities, increased $11.3 million or
14.0% for the period to $91.9 million. This increase was due to increased
pension and post-retirement benefits expense of $9.9 million and higher legal
costs of $0.8 million associated with routine business operations.
Consolidating Non-Operating
Other Income and Deductions
Other income decreased $14.1 million for the year. In 2000, the Company
recognized a gain of $13.8 million related to the settlement of a lawsuit.
Other deductions increased $55.3 million for the year. In 2001, the
Company recorded charges of $13.1 million to write-off certain permanently
impaired Avistar investments, $13.0 million of non-recoverable coal mine
decommissioning costs previously established as a regulatory asset,
non-recoverable regulatory costs of $11.1 million, a donation of $5.0 million to
the PNM Foundation and a charge of $18.0 million related to the Company's
terminated acquisition of Western Resources. In 2000, the Company recognized
gains of $4.5 million for the reversal of certain reserves associated with the
resolution of two gas rate claims and $2.4 million related to the Company's
hedge of certain non-qualified retirement plan trust assets. In addition, in
2000, the Company recorded charges of $12.5 million related to the Company's
terminated acquisition of Western Resources.
Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated income tax expense was $81.1 million in the
twelve months ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $6.7 million for the year.
This increase was due to higher earnings in 2001. The Company's effective income
tax rates for the years ended 2001 and 2000 were 35.02% and 42.41%,
respectively. In 2001, the Company determined that $6.6 million of valuation
allowances taken against certain income tax related regulatory assets were no
longer required due to changes in the evaluation of its regulatory strategy in
light of the holding company filing in May 2001. In 2000, when the allowance was
established, management believed these income-tax-related regulatory assets
would not be recoverable based on the probable regulatory outcome of industry
restructuring in New Mexico. Currently, management fully expects to recover
these costs in future rate cases, a situation that was not possible prior to the
31
delay of open access in New Mexico. Excluding the impact of the valuation
reserve changes, the Company's effective income tax rates for the years ended
2001 and 2000 were 37.85% and 38.67%, respectively. The decrease in the
effective rate was primarily due to the favorable tax treatment received on 2001
equity earnings from a passive investment.
NEW AND PROPOSED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
EITF 02-3 "Issues Related to Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy
Trading and Risk Management Activities", EITF 98-10 "Accounting for Contracts
Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities" and Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). On October 25, 2002, the EITF reached a
final consensus on EITF 02-3 that rescinds EITF 98-10 and requires that all
energy contracts held for trading purposes be presented on a net margin basis in
the statement of earnings. The rescission of EITF 98-10 requires that energy
contracts which do not meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133 no
longer be marked to market and recognized in current earnings. As a result, all
contracts which were marked to market under EITF 98-10 and must now be accounted
for under the accrual method should be written back to cost with any difference
included as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle in the
period of adoption. This transition provision was effective January 1, 2003. The
rescission of EITF 98-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations as all contracts previously marked

a derivative under SFAS 133 and are properly recorded at fair value with gains
and losses recorded in earnings. The Company reviewed its energy contract
portfolio to determine whether its contracts meet the definition of trading
activities under EITF 02-3. As a result, the Company has reclassified those
contracts previously accounted for under EITF 98-10 to a net margin basis for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000. The Company will not
report revenues and cost of energy sold on a net margin basis on a prospective
basis as a result of the application of EITF 02-3 as none of the Company's
marketing activities meet the definitions of trading activities as prescribed by
EITF 02-3.
The following table details wholesale electric revenues as reclassified
under EITF 02-3. Energy trading margin is included in Electric Operating

financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of PNM Resources, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, and results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
