Sempra Commodities, Sempra Generation, Sempra Pipelines & Storage, and an additional business unit, Sempra LNG (liquefied natural gas) are subsidiaries of those of SoCalGas and some additional items attributable to PE’s position asSempra Global. Sempra Global is a holding company (e.g.for most of our subsidiaries that are not subject to California utility regulation.

SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas are subsidiaries of Sempra Energy. Sempra Energy directly or indirectly owns all the common stock and substantially all of the voting stock of each of the three companies.

Sempra Commodities - Pending Transaction

In April 2008, Sempra Energy formed a partnership with The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS) to purchase and operate our commodities-marketing businesses, which generally comprised the Sempra Commodities segment. In November 2009, RBS announced its intention to divest its interest in this joint venture, RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities), cash, intercompany accountsfollowing a directive from the European Commission to dispose of certain assets. On February 16, 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and equity).the partnership entered into an agreement with J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corporation (J.P. Morgan Ventures), whereby J.P. Morgan Ventures will purchase the following businesses from the joint venture:

§

the global oil, metals, coal, emissions (other than emissions related to the joint venture’s North American power business), plastics, agricultural commodities and concentrates commodities trading and marketing business

§

the European power and gas business

§

the investor products business

RBS Sempra Commodities will retain its North American power and natural gas trading businesses and its retail energy solutions business. These businesses have historically generated 40 to 60 percent of total earnings of the businesses in the partnership, and have averaged more than 50 percent.

Subject to obtaining various regulatory approvals and other conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. J.P. Morgan Ventures will pay an aggregate purchase price equal to the estimated book value at closing of the businesses purchased, generally computed on the basis of international financial reporting standards (as adopted by the European Union), plus an amount equal to $468 million. Sempra Energy will be entitled to 53 -1/3 percent of the aggregate purchase price, and RBS will be entitled to 46-2/3 percent of the aggregate purchase price.

In connection with the transaction, we and RBS entered into a letter agreement to negotiate, prior to closing of the transaction, definitive documentation to amend certain provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership Agreement dated April 1, 2008 between Sempra Energy and RBS. As RBS continues to be obligated to divest its remaining interest in the partnership, the letter agreement also provides for negotiating the framework for the entertaining bids for the remaining part of the partnership’s business.

We provide further discussion about RBS Sempra Commodities and the pending transaction with J.P. Morgan Ventures in Notes 3, 4, 6 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The partnership is also discussed in "Sempra Global – Competition - Sempra Commodities" below.

Risk Factors

The following risk factors and all other information contained in this report should be considered carefully when evaluating the company. These risk factors could affect the actual resultscharters of the companyaudit, compensation and cause such results to differ materially from those expressed incorporate governance committees of Sempra Energy’s board of directors (the board), the board's corporate governance guidelines, and Sempra Energy's code of business conduct and ethics for directors and officers are posted on Sempra Energy's website.

Other risks and uncertainties, in additionamendments to those that are described below, may also impair its business operations. If any of the following risks occurs, the company's business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition could be seriously harmed. These risk factors should be read in conjunctionreports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with the other detailed information concerningthe company set forth in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein.

SoCalGas is subject to extensive regulation by state, federal and local legislation and regulatory authorities, which may adversely affect the operations, performance and growth of its business.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which consists of five commissioners appointed by the Governor of California for staggered six-year terms, regulates SoCalGas' rates and conditions of service, sales of securities, rates of return, rates of depreciation, the uniform systems of accounts and long-term resource procurement. The CPUC conducts various reviews of utility performance (which may include reasonableness and prudency reviews of capital expenditures, natural gas procurement, and other costs, and reviews and audits of the company's records) and affiliate relationships and conducts audits and investigations into various matters which may, from time to time, result in disallowances and penalties adversely affecting earnings and cash flows. Various proceedings involving the CPUC and relating to SoCalGas' rates, costs, incentive mechanisms, performance-based regulation and compliance with affiliate and holding company rules are discussed in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein.

For major capital programs, the company may expend funds prior to receiving regulatory approval to proceed with the capital project. If the project does not receive regulatory approval or a decision is made not to proceed with the project, the company may not be able to recover the amount expended for that project.

Periodically,SoCalGas' rates are approved by the CPUC based on forecasts of capital and operating costs. If the company's actual capital and operating costs were to exceed the amount approved by the CPUC, it would adversely affect earnings and cash flows.

To promote efficient operations and improved productivity and to move away from reasonableness reviews and disallowances, the CPUC applies Performance-Based Regulation (PBR)furnished to the Sempra Utilities. Under PBR, regulators require future income potential to be tied to achieving or exceeding specific performanceSecurities and operating income goals, rather than relying solely on expanding utility plant to increase earnings. The three areas that are eligible for PBR rewards are: operational incentives based on measurementsExchange Commission.  

Printed copies of safety, reliability and customer satisfaction; energy efficiency rewards based on the effectivenessall of the programs; and natural gas procurement rewards. Although SoCalGas has received PBR rewards in the past, there can be no assurance that it will receive rewards in the future, or that they would be of comparable amounts. Additionally, if the company fails to achieve certain minimum performance levels established under the PBR mechanism s, itthese materials may be assessed financial disallowances or penalties which could negatively affect earnings and cash flows.

6

The company may be adversely affectedobtained by new regulations, decisions, orders or interpretations of the CPUC or other regulatory bodies. New legislation, regulations, decisions, orders or interpretations could change how the company operates, could affect its abilitywriting to recover various costs through rates or adjustment mechanisms, or could require the company to incur additional expenses.

The Sempra Utilities' future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows may be materially adversely affected by the outcome of pending litigation against them.

The California energy crisis of 2000 - 2001 has generated numerous lawsuits, governmental investigations and regulatory proceedings involving many energy companies, includingour Corporate Secretary at Sempra Energy, and the Sempra Utilities. During 2006, Sempra Energy and the Sempra Utilities reached agreement to settle several of these lawsuits including, subject to court and other approvals, the principal class action antitrust lawsuits in which they are defendants. However, the companies remain defendants in several additional lawsuits arising out of the energy crisis, including various antitrust actions. Sempra Energy and the Sempra Utilities have expended and continue to expend substantial amounts defending these lawsuits and in connection with related investigations and regulatory proceedings. They have established reserves that they believe to be appropriate for the ultimate resolution of these remaining matters. However, uncertainties inher ent in complex legal proceedings make it difficult to estimate with any degree of certainty the costs and effects of resolving legal matters. Accordingly, costs ultimately incurred may differ materially from estimated costs and could materially adversely affect Sempra Energy's and the Sempra Utilities' business, cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.   101 Ash Street, San Diego, CA 92101-3017.

These proceedings are discussed in the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" herein.

Future environmental compliance costs could adversely affect SoCalGas' profitability.

SoCalGas is subject to extensive federal, state and local statutes, rules and regulations relating to environmental protection, including, in particular, global warming and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. It is required to obtain numerous governmental permits, licenses and other approvals to construct and operate its business. If SoCalGas fails to comply with applicable environmental laws, it may be subject to penalties, fines and/or curtailments of its operations.

The scope and effect of new environmental laws and regulations, including their effects on current operations and future expansions, are difficult to predict. Increasing international, national, regional and state-level concerns as well as new or proposed legislation may have substantial effects on operations, operating costs, and the scope and economics of proposed expansion. In particular, state-level laws and regulations as well as proposed national and international legislation relating to greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbon, perfluorocarbon, and sulfur hexafluoride) may limit or otherwise adversely affect the operations of the company. TheSempra Utilities may be affected if costs are not recoverable in rates and because the effects of significantly tougher standards may cause rates to increase to levels that substantially reduce customer demand and growth.

In addition, existing and future laws and regulation on mercury, nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide emissions could result in requirements for additional pollution control equipment or emission fees and taxes that could adversely affect the company. Moreover, existing rules and regulations may be interpreted or revised in ways that may adversely affect the company and its facilities and operations. 

7

Natural disasters, catastrophic accidents or acts of terrorism could materially adversely affect the company's business, earnings and cash flows.

Like other major industrial facilities, the company's natural gas pipelines and storage facilities may be damaged by natural disasters, catastrophic accidents or acts of terrorism. Any such incidents could result in severe business disruptions, significant decreases in revenues or significant additional costs to the company, which could have a material adverse effect on the company's earnings and cash flows. Given the nature and location of these facilities, any such incidents also could cause fires, leaks, explosions, spills or other significant damage to natural resources or property belonging to third parties, or personal injuries, which could lead to significant claims against the company and its subsidiaries. Insurance coverage may become unavailable for certain of these risks and the insurance proceeds received for any loss of or damage to any of its facilities, or for any loss of or damage to natural resources or property or personal inju ries caused by its operations, may be insufficient to cover the company'slosses or liabilities without materially adversely affecting the company's financial condition, earnings and cash flows.

The company's cash flows, ability to pay dividends and ability to meet its debt obligations largely depend on the performance of its utility operations.

The company's utility operations are the major source of liquidity. The company's ability to pay dividends on its preferred stock is largely dependent on the sufficiency of utility earnings and cash flows in excess of operational needs.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONPART II

California Utility Regulation

Item 5.

The CPUC, which consistsMarket for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of five commissioners appointed by the Governor of California for staggered six-year terms, regulates SoCalGas' rates and conditions of service, sales of securities, rate of return, rates of depreciation, uniform systems of accounts and long-term resource procurement, except as described below under "United States Utility Regulation." The CPUC also has jurisdiction over the proposed construction of major new natural gas transmission facilities.  The CPUC conducts various reviews of utility performance, conducts audits of the company's records for compliance with regulatory guidelines, and conducts investigations into various matters, such as deregulation, competition and the environment, to determine its future policies. The CPUC also regulates the interactions and transactions of the utilities with Sempra Energy, as discussed further in Note 8 of the notes to ConsolidatedEquity Securities

Assembly Bill 32, the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006, makes the California Air Resources Board (CARB) responsible for monitoring and reducing GHG emissions. The bill requires CARB to develop and adopt a comprehensive plan for achieving real, quantifiable and cost-effective GHG emission reductions including, among other things, a statewide GHG emissions cap, mandatory reporting rules, and regulatory and market mechanisms to achieve reductions of GHG emissions. CARB is a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency, an organization which reports directly to the Governor's Office in the Executive Branch of California State Government. The California Legislature established CARB in 1967 to attain and maintain healthy air quality and to conduct research into the causes of and solutions to air pollution. CARB is made up of eleven members appointed by the Governor.Item 7.

United States Utility Regulation

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulates the interstate sale and transportation of natural gas, the uniform systems of accounts and rates of depreciation.Both the FERC and the CPUC are currently investigating prices charged to the California investor-owned utilities (IOUs) by various suppliers of natural gas and electricity. Further discussion is provided in Notes 8 and 9 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

Local Regulation

SoCalGas has natural gas franchises with the 240 legal jurisdictions in its service territory. These franchises allow SoCalGas to locate, operate and maintain facilities for the transmission and distribution of natural gas in streets and other public places. Some franchises, such as that for the city of Los Angeles, which expires in 2012, have fixed expiration dates ranging from 2007 to 2048. Most of the franchises have indeterminate lives with no expiration date.

Licenses and Permits

SoCalGas obtains numerous permits, authorizations and licenses in connection with the transmission and distribution of natural gas. They require periodic renewal, which results in continuing regulation by the granting agency.

Other regulatory matters are described in Note 8 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements herein.

NATURAL GAS UTILITY OPERATIONS

To ensure the delivery of the natural gas supplies to the distribution system and to meet the seasonal and annual needs of customers, SoCalGas is committed to firm pipeline capacity contracts that require the payment of fixed reservation charges to reserve firm transportation entitlements. SoCalGas sells any excess capacity on a short-term basis. Interstate pipeline companies, primarily El Paso Natural Gas Company, Transwestern Pipeline Company and Kern River Gas Transmission, provide transportation services into SoCalGas' intrastate transmission system for supplies purchased by SoCalGas or its transportation customers from outside of California. The rates that interstate pipeline companies may charge for natural gas and transportation services are regulated by the FERC.

According to "Btu's Daily Gas Wire", the average spot price of natural gas at the California/Arizona border was $6.15 per million British thermal units (mmbtu) in 2006 ($6.74 per mmbtu in December 2006), compared with $7.62 per mmbtu in 2005 and $5.57 per mmbtu in 2004.The company's weighted average cost (including transportation charges) per mmbtu of natural gas was $6.49 in 2006, $7.71in 2005 and $5.92in 2004.

Natural Gas Storage

SoCalGas provides natural gas storage services for use by core, noncore and off-system customers. Core customers are allocated a portion of SoCalGas' storage capacity. Other customers, including SDG&E, can bid and negotiate the desired amount of storage on a contract basis. The storage service program provides opportunities for these customers to store natural gas, usually during the summer, to reduce winter purchases when natural gas costs are generally higher. This allows customers to select the level of service they desire to assist them in managing their fuel procurement and transportation needs.

Demand for Natural Gas

The company faces competition in the residential and commercial customer markets based on the customers' preferences for natural gas compared with other energy products. In the non-core industrial market, some customers are capable of using alternate fuels which can affect the demand for natural gas. The company's ability to maintain its industrial market share is largely dependent on energy prices. The demand for natural gas by electric generators is influenced by a number of factors. In the short-term, natural gas use by electric generators is impacted by the availability of alternative sources of generation. The availability of hydroelectricity is highly dependent on precipitation in the western United States and Canada. In addition, natural gas use is impacted by the performance of other generation sources in the western United States, including nuclear and coal, and other natural gas facilities outside the service area . Natural gas use is also impacted by changes in end-use electricity demand. For example, natural gas use generally increases during summer heat waves. Over the long-term, natural gas used to generate electricity will be influenced by additional factors such as the location of new power plant construction and the development of renewable resources. More generation capacity currently is being constructed outside Southern California than within the Sempra Utilities' service area. This new generation will likely displace the output of older, less-efficient local generation, reducing the use of natural gas for local electric generation.

SDG&E, PE and SoCalGas are subsidiaries of Sempra Energy. Sempra Energy directly or indirectly owns all the common stock and substantially all of the voting stock of each of the three companies.

Sempra Commodities - Pending Transaction

In April 2008, Sempra Energy formed a partnership with The Royal Bank of Scotland plc (RBS) to purchase and operate our commodities-marketing businesses, which generally comprised the Sempra Commodities segment. In November 2009, RBS announced its intention to divest its interest in this joint venture, RBS Sempra Commodities LLP (RBS Sempra Commodities), following a directive from the European Commission to dispose of certain assets. On February 16, 2010, Sempra Energy, RBS and the partnership entered into an agreement with J.P. Morgan Ventures Energy Corporation (J.P. Morgan Ventures), whereby J.P. Morgan Ventures will purchase the following businesses from the joint venture:

§

the global oil, metals, coal, emissions (other than emissions related to the joint venture’s North American power business), plastics, agricultural commodities and concentrates commodities trading and marketing business

§

the European power and gas business

§

the investor products business

RBS Sempra Commodities will retain its North American power and natural gas trading businesses and its retail energy solutions business. These businesses have historically generated 40 to 60 percent of total earnings of the businesses in the partnership, and have averaged more than 50 percent.

Subject to obtaining various regulatory approvals and other conditions, the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2010. J.P. Morgan Ventures will pay an aggregate purchase price equal to the estimated book value at closing of the businesses purchased, generally computed on the basis of international financial reporting standards (as adopted by the European Union), plus an amount equal to $468 million. Sempra Energy will be entitled to 53 -1/3 percent of the aggregate purchase price, and RBS will be entitled to 46-2/3 percent of the aggregate purchase price.

In connection with the transaction, we and RBS entered into a letter agreement to negotiate, prior to closing of the transaction, definitive documentation to amend certain provisions of the Limited Liability Partnership Agreement dated April 1, 2008 between Sempra Energy and RBS. As RBS continues to be obligated to divest its remaining interest in the partnership, the letter agreement also provides for negotiating the framework for the entertaining bids for the remaining part of the partnership’s business.

We provide further discussion about RBS Sempra Commodities and the pending transaction with J.P. Morgan Ventures in Notes 3, 4, 6 and 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The partnership is also discussed in "Sempra Global – Competition - Sempra Commodities" below.

This section also focuses on the major factors expected to influence future operating results and discusses investment and financing activities and plans. It should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report.

PE is the holding company for SoCalGas, the nation's largest natural gas distribution utility. SoCalGas owns and operates a natural gas distribution, transmission and storage system supplying natural gas throughout approximately 20,000 square miles of service territory. Its service territory extends from San Luis Obispo, California on the north to the Mexican border in the south, excluding San Diego County, the City of Long Beach and the desert area of San Bernardino County. SoCalGas provides natural gas service to residential, commercial, industrial, utility electric generation and wholesale customers, through 5.6 million meters, covering a population of 20.1 million. SoCalGas and its sister utility, San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E), are collectively referred to herein as "the Sempra Utilities."

Comparison of Earnings

To assist the reader in understanding the trend of earnings, the following tables summarize the major unusual factors affecting net income and operating income in 2006, 2005 and 2004. The numbers in parentheses are the page numbers where each 2006 item is discussed.

Pacific Enterprises

Southern California Gas

¹Demand side management (DSM)

SoCalGas is subject to regulation by federal, state and local governmental agencies. The primary regulatory agency is the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), which regulates utility rates and operations. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulates interstate transportation of natural gas and various related matters. Municipalities and other local authorities regulate the location of utility assets, including natural gas pipelines.

Natural Gas Revenue and Cost of Natural Gas.Natural gas revenues decreased by $436 million (9%) to $4.2 billion in 2006, and the cost of natural gas decreased by $420 million (15%) to $2.4 billion in 2006. The decreases in 2006 were due to lower average costs of natural gas, which are passed on to customers, offset by higher volumes. In addition,natural gas revenuesdecreased due to the CPUC's 2005 Cost of Service decision eliminating 2004 revenue sharing (for which $18 million was included in revenue in 2005), $14 million in DSM awards in 2005 and $50 million of lower revenues for recoverable expenses, which are fully offset in other operating expenses. The decreases were offset by a $52 million increase in authorized base margin indexing and $10 million from the positive resolution in 2006 of a natural gas royalty matter. SoCalGas' weighted

16

average cost (including transportation charges) per million British thermal units (mmbtu) of natural gas was $6.49 in 2006, $7.71 in 2005 and $5.92 in 2004.    

Natural gas revenues increased by $620 million (16%) to $4.6 billion in 2005, and the cost of natural gas increased by $547 million (24%) to $2.8 billion in 2005 compared to 2004. The increases in 2005 were due to higher natural gas prices, which are passed on to customers, offset by a decrease in volume. In addition,natural gas revenuesincreased due to higher authorized base margin of $28 million, the CPUC's decision in 2005 eliminating 2004 revenue sharing, DSM awards and higher revenues for recoverable expenses, as discussed above. Performance awards are discussed in Note 8 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Although the current regulatory framework provides that the cost of natural gas purchased for customers and the variations in that cost are passed through to the customers on a substantially concurrent basis, SoCalGas' Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (GCIM) allows SoCalGas to share in the savings or costs from buying natural gas for customers below or above market-based monthly benchmarks. The mechanism permits full recovery of all costs within a tolerance band around the benchmark price. The costs or savings outside the tolerance band are shared between customers and shareholders. Further discussion is provided in Notes 1 and 8 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The table below summarizes natural gas volumes and revenues by customer class for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

Other Operating Expenses. Other operating expenses at SoCalGas were $951 million, $954 million and $908 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in 2006 included $50 million lower recoverable expenses offset by $47 million higher other operational costs. The increase in 2005 was primarily due to $25 million favorable resolution of regulatory matters in 2004 and $14 million higher recoverable expenses in 2005.  

Litigation Expenses. Litigation expenses were $(2) million, $99 million and $41 millionfor 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The higher amount in 2005 was primarily due to increases in litigation reserves related to matters arising from the 2000 - 2001 California energy crisis. Note 9 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provides additional information concerning this matter.  

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income (expense), net, as discussed further in Note 1 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, and which consists primarily of allowance for equity funds used during construction and regulatory interest, was $(1) million, $(2) million and $13 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, at SoCalGas. The 2004 amount included the favorable impact on regulatory interest income from a CPUC Cost of Service decision.  

Interest Income.Interest income was $64 million, $25 million and $17 million ($29 million, $12 million and $4 million at SoCalGas) in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in 2006 was primarily due to $13 million from the resolution of an insurance claim at PE related to a quasi-reorganization issue in 2006 as discussed in Note 1 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, higher interest resulting from increases in short-term investments and $6 million from a 2006 income tax audit settlement at SoCalGas.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $70 million, $48 million and $39 million at SoCalGas in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in 2006 was primarily due to higher interest expense associated with the $250 million first mortgage bonds issued in November 2005, higher variable rates and interest expense related to the accretion of the California energy crisis litigation settlement liability.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense at SoCalGas was $173 million, $97 million and $154 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The corresponding effective income tax rates were 44 percent, 31 percent and 40 percent. The increase in 2006 expense was due to the higher effective tax rate and higher pretax income. The increase in the effective tax rate in 2006 was due primarily to a $24 million favorable resolution of prior years' income tax issues in 2005.

Net Income.SoCalGas recorded net income of $224 million,$212 million and$233 million in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The increase in 2006 was due primarily to the California energy crisis reserve of $56 million recorded in litigation expense in 2005 and $7 million from the positive resolution in 2006 of a natural gas royalty matter, offset by $24 million in 2005 from the favorable resolution of prior years' income tax issues, $11 million from the reversal in 2005 of the 2004 revenue sharing reserve resulting from the CPUC's 2004 Cost of Service decision, higher income tax expense in 2006 of $13 million due to a higher effective tax rate in 2006 (excluding the effect of the resolution of prior years' income tax issues in 2005) and a DSM awards settlement of $8 million in 2005.

The decrease in 2005 compared to 2004 was due primarily to the resolution of the 2004 Cost of Service proceedings (as discussed further in Note 8 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) which favorably affected 2004 net income by $34 million, an increase of $32 million after-tax in California energy crisis litigation expenses and the $9 million after-tax gain from the sale of the Hawaiian Gardens property in 2004, offset by favorable resolution of income tax

18

issues in 2005 of $24 million, higher authorized base margins in 2005 of $17 million after-tax and the DSM awards settlement of $8 million in 2005.  

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

SoCalGas'utilityoperations generally are the major source of liquidity. In addition, cash requirements can be met through the issuance of short-term and long-term debt. Cash requirements primarily consist of capital expenditures for utility plant.

At December 31, 2006, there was $211 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $300 million in available unused, committed lines of credit at SoCalGas. Management believes thatthese amounts and cash flows from operationsandsecurity issuances will be adequate to finance capital expenditures and meet liquidity requirements and other commitments. Forecasted capital expenditures for the next five years are discussed in"Future Capital Expenditures for Utility Plant." Management continues to regularly monitor SoCalGas' ability to finance the needs of its operating, investing and financing activities in a manner consistent with its intention to maintain strong, investment-quality credit ratings.

CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by PE's consolidated operating activities totaled $911 million, $288 million and $546 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net cash provided by SoCalGas' operating activities totaled $873 million, $264 million and $501 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.  

Cash provided by operating activities in 2006 increased by $623 million (216%) to $911 million. For SoCalGas, net cash provided by operating activities increased by $609 million (231%) to $873 million. The change was primarily due to a $185 million increase in overcollected regulatory balancing accounts in 2006 compared to a $168 million decrease in 2005, a $113 million increase in income tax payable in 2006 compared to a $136 million decrease in 2005 and a $93 million decrease in accounts receivable, offset by an $84 million decrease in other liabilities. The changes in net cash provided by SoCalGas' operating activities were substantially the same as for PE.

The decrease in 2005 compared to 2004 was primarily due to a $261 million change in overcollected regulatory balancing accounts, a $197 million change in income taxes payable, mainly due to an increase in income tax payments, and a $58 million decrease in accounts payable in 2005, offset by a $104 million lower increase in accounts receivable and a $157 million increase in other liabilities in 2005. The 2005 changes in net cash provided by SoCalGas' operating activities were substantially the same as for PE.

The company made pension plan and other postretirement benefit plan contributions of $1 million and $19 million, respectively, during 2006, and $1 million and $36 million, respectively, during 2005. During 2004, the company contributed $42 million to other postretirement benefit plans but made no contribution to the pension plan.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Net cash used in PE's consolidated investing activities totaled $548 million, $381 million and $295 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net cash used in SoCalGas' investing activities totaled $513 million, $361 million and $253 million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

19

Cash used in PE's investing activities in 2006 increased by $167 million (44%) to $548 million. For SoCalGas, the cash used in investing activities increased by $152 million (42%) to $513 million for 2006. The changes were primarily due to a $126 million increase in advances to Sempra Energy (of which $111 million was associated with advances made by SoCalGas) and a $52 million increase in capital expenditures in 2006.

The increase in cash used in investing activities in 2005 compared to 2004 was due to a $50 million increase in capital expenditures and a $30 million increase in loans to affiliate (of which $51 million applied to SoCalGas).

Future Capital Expenditures for Utility Plant

Significant capital expenditures and investments in 2007 are expected to include $500 million for improvements to the distribution and transmission systems. These expenditures are expected to be financed by cash flows from operations andsecurity issuances.

Over the next five years, the company expects to make capital expenditures of $2.5 billion, including$500 million in each of the next five years.

Construction programs are periodically reviewed and revised by the company in response to changes in regulation, economic conditions, competition, customer growth, inflation, customer rates, the cost of capital and environmental requirements, as discussed in Note 9 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The company intends to finance its capital expenditures in a manner that will maintain its strong investment-grade ratings and capital structure.

The amounts and timing of capital expenditures are subject to approvals by the CPUC, the FERC and other regulatory bodies.

CASH FLOWS FROM FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Net cashprovided by (used in) financing activities totaled $(242) million, $149 million and $(249) million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Net cash provided by (used in) SoCalGas' financing activities totaled $(239) million, $153 million and $(246) million for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2006 changes at PE and SoCalGas were primarily due to $250 million in issuances of long-term debt in 2005 and an $88 million decrease in short-term debt in 2006 compared to an increase of $58 million in 2005.

The 2005 changes at PE and SoCalGas were primarily due to a $150 million increase in issuances of long-term debt, a $50 million decrease in dividends paid in 2005 and a $175 million repayment on long-term debt in 2004.

Long-Term and Short-Term Debt

In November 2005, SoCalGas publicly offered and sold $250 million of 5.75 percent first mortgage bonds, maturing in 2035.

In December 2004, SoCalGas issued $100 million of floating-rate first mortgage bonds maturing in December 2009. The interest rate is based on the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 0.17 percent.  

Payments on long-term debt in 2004 included $175 million of SoCalGas' first mortgage bonds.

Note 2 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provides information concerning lines of credit and further discussion of debt activity.

Dividends

Common dividends paid to Sempra Energy were $150 million in each of 2006 and 2005 and $200 million in 2004. Dividends paid by SoCalGas to PE amounted to $150 million in each of 2006 and 2005 and $200 million in 2004.

The payment and amount of future dividends are within the discretion of the companies' boardsof directors. The CPUC's regulation of SoCalGas'capital structure limits the amounts that are available for loans and dividends to Sempra Energy from SoCalGas. At December 31, 2006, the company could have provided a total (combined loans and dividends) of $78 million to Sempra Energy.

Capitalization

Total capitalization, including all debt,at December 31, 2006 was $3.0 billion, of which $2.6 billion applied to SoCalGas. The debt-to-capitalization ratios were 36 percent and 43 percent at December 31, 2006 for PE and SoCalGas, respectively. Significant changes affecting capitalization during 2006 included short-term borrowings, comprehensive income and dividends. Additional discussion related to the significant changes is provided in Note2 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and "Results of Operations" above.

Commitments

The following is a summary of the companies' principal contractual commitments at December 31, 2006. Additional information concerning commitments is provided above and in Notes 2, 4 and 9 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of January 31, 2007, the companies have a stable ratings outlook from all three credit rating agencies.

FACTORS INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE

Performance of the company will depend primarily on the ratemaking and regulatory process, natural gas industry restructuring, and the changing energy marketplace. Performance will also depend on the successful completion of capital projects, which are discussed in various places in this report. These factors are discussed in Note 8 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of erosion of the company's cash flows, net income, asset values and equity due to adverse changes in prices for various commodities, and in interestrates.

The company has adopted policies governing its market risk management and trading activities of all affiliates. Assisted by the company's Risk Management Department (RMD), the company's Risk Management Committee (RMC), consisting of senior officers, establishes policy for andoversees company-wide energy risk management activities and monitors the results of trading and other activities to ensure compliance with the company's stated energy risk management policies and applicable regulatory requirements. The RMD receives daily information detailing positions regarding market positions that create credit, liquidity and market risk and monitors energy price risk management and measures and reports the market and credit risk associated with these positions to the RMC.

Along with other tools, the company uses Value at Risk (VaR) to measure its exposure to market risk. VaR is an estimate of the potential loss on a position or portfolio of positions over a

22

specified holding period, based on normal market conditions and within a given statistical confidence interval. The company has adopted the variance/covariance methodology in its calculation of VaR, and uses both the 95-percent and 99-percent confidence intervals. VaR is calculated independently by the RMD for the company. Historical and implied volatilities and correlations between instruments and positions are used in the calculation. The company uses natural gas derivatives to manage natural gas price risk associated with servicing load requirements. The use of natural gas derivatives is subject to certain limitations imposed by company policy and is in compliance with risk management and trading activity plans that have been filed and approved by the CPUC. Any costs or gains/losses associated with the use of natural gas derivatives, which use is in compliance with CPUC approved plans, are considered to be commodity costs that are passed on to customers on a substantially concurrent basis.

Revenue recognition is discussed in Note 1 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and the additional market risk information regarding derivative instruments is discussed in Note 6 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following discussion of the company's primary market risk exposures as of December 31, 2006 includes a discussion of how these exposures are managed.

Commodity Price Risk

Market risk related to physical commodities is created by volatility in the prices and basis of natural gas. The company's market risk is impacted by changes in volatility and liquidity in the markets in which these commodities or related financial instruments are traded. The company is exposed, in varying degrees, to price risk, primarily in the natural gas markets. The company's policy is to manage this risk within a framework that considers the unique markets, and operating and regulatory environments.

The company's market risk exposure is limited due to CPUC-authorized rate recovery of the costs of natural gas purchases, intrastate transportation and storage activity. However, the company may, at times, be exposed to market risk as a result of SoCalGas' GCIM, which is discussed in Note8of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. If commodity prices were to rise too rapidly, it is likely that volumes would decline. This would increase the per-unit fixed costs, which could lead to further volume declines. The company manages its risk within the parameters of its market risk management framework. As of December 31, 2006, the company's VaR was not material, and the procurement activities are in compliance with the procurement plans filed with and approved by the CPUC.  

Interest Rate Risk

The company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates primarily as a result of its short-term and long-term debt. Subject to regulatory constraints, interest-rate swaps may be used to adjust interest-rate exposures. The company periodically enters into interest-rate swap agreements to moderate its exposure to interest-rate changes and to lower its overall costs of borrowing.

At December 31, 2006, the company had $863million of fixed-rate, long-term debt and $250 million of variable-rate, long-term debt. Interest on fixed-rate utility debt is fully recovered in rates on a historical cost basis and interest on variable-rate debt is provided for in rates on a forecasted basis. At December 31, 2006, the company's fixed-rate, long-term debt, after the effects of interest-rate swaps, had a one-year VaR of $83 million and its variable-rate, long-term debt, after the effects of interest-rate swaps, had a one-year VaR of $6 million.

23

At December 31, 2006, the notional amount of interest-rate swap transactions totaled $150 million. Note 2 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements provides further information regarding interest-rate swap transactions.

In addition, the company is subject to the effect of interest-rate fluctuations on the assets of its pension plans and other postretirement plans. However, the effects of these fluctuations are expected to be passed on to customers.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss that would be incurred as a result of nonperformance by counterparties of their contractual obligations. As with market risk, the company has adopted policies governing the management of credit risk. Credit risk management is performed by the company's credit department and overseen by the company's RMC. Using rigorous models, the RMD and the company calculate current and potential credit risk to counterparties on a daily basis and monitor actual balances in comparison to approved limits. The company avoids concentration of counterparties whenever possible, and management believes its credit policies associated with counterparties significantly reduce overall credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of prospective counterparties' financial condition (including credit ratings), collateral requirements under certain circumstances, the use of standardized agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty, and other security such as lock-box liens and downgrade triggers. The company believes that adequate reserves have been provided for counterparty nonperformance.

The company monitors credit risk through a credit approval process and the assignment and monitoring of credit limits. These credit limits are established based on risk and return considerations under terms customarily available in the industry.

As noted above under "Interest Rate Risk", the company periodically enters into interest-rate swap agreements to moderate exposure to interest-rate changes and to lower the overall cost of borrowing. The company would be exposed to interest-rate fluctuations on the underlying debt should counterparties to the agreement not perform.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES AND KEY NON-CASH PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Certain accounting policies are viewed by management as critical because their application is the most relevant, judgmental and/or material to the company's financial position and results of operations, and/or because they require the use of material judgments and estimates.

The company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The most critical policies, all of which are mandatory under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, are the following:
