Acquisitions, Impairments,PNM Gas Sale; Termination of Cap Rock Acquisition

On January 12, 2008, PNM reached a definitive agreement to sell its natural gas operations, which comprise the PNM Gas segment, to NMGC, a subsidiary of Continental, for $620 million in cash. In a separate transaction conditioned upon the sale of the natural gas operations, PNMR proposed to acquire CRHC, Continental’s regulated Texas electric transmission and distribution business, for $202.5 million in cash.  On July 22, 2008, PNMR and Continental agreed to terminate the agreement for the acquisition of CRHC.  The termination agreement provides that Continental will pay PNMR $15.0 million, but only upon the closing of the PNM Gas transaction.  PNMR expects to use the proceeds from the sale of PNM Gas to retire debt, fund future electric capital expenditures and for other corporate purposes. The agreement for the sale of PNM Gas contains a number of customary representations and warranties and indemnification provisions as well as closing conditions, including regulatory and third party approvals.  The parties may terminate the agreement under certain circumstances and may be obligated to pay a termination fee in connection therewith.  The sale of the natural gas operations is subject to, among other conditions, receiving approval from the NMPRC.  On June 13, 2008, PNMR received notice of early termination of the waiting period required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust rules.  Notification of early termination is considered antitrust clearance of the transaction.  The Company filed testimony with the NMPRC in March 2008 for approvals required for the sale of its gas utility operations and for transition services to be provided to NMGC.  Hearings have been rescheduled to begin September 12, 2008.  Pending all approvals, the transaction is expected to close by the end of 2008. There are no material relationships between the PNMR and Continental parties other than in respect of the transactions described herein. See Note 14 for financial information concerning PNM Gas, which is classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements.

Twin Oaks Acquisition and Disposition

On April 18, 2006, PNMR’s wholly owned subsidiary, Altura, purchased the Twin Oaks business, which included the 305 MW coal-fired Twin Oaks power plant located 150 miles south of Dallas, Texas.  Effective June 1, 2007, PNMR contributed Altura, including the Twin Oaks business, to EnergyCo.  See Note 11.  The results of Twin Oaks operations have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of PNMR from April 18, 2006 through May 31, 2007.  Beginning June 1, 2007, the Twin Oaks operations are included in EnergyCo, which is accounted for by PNMR using the equity method.

As part of the acquisition of Twin Oaks, PNMR determined the fair value of two contractual obligations to sell power.  The first contract obligated Altura to sell power through September 2007 at which time the second contract began and extends for three years.  In comparing the pricing terms of the contractual obligations against the forward price of electricity in the relevant market at the acquisition date, PNMR concluded that the contracts were below market.  In accordance with SFAS 141, the contracts were recorded at fair value to be amortized as an increase in operating revenue over the contract periods.  The amortization matches the difference between the forward price curve and the contractual obligations for each month in accordance with the contract as of the acquisition date.  For the first contract, $94.9a liability of $147.3 million was recorded in other current liabilities and $52.4 million was recorded in other deferred credits for a contract total of $147.3 million. For the second contract, $29.6 million was recorded in other deferred credits.  As of May 31,for the second contract.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, PNMR had amortized $105.9$20.0 million and $35.0 million for the first contract and nothing for the second contract.

The Twin Oaks purchase agreement also included the development rights for a possible 600-megawatt expansion of the plant, which PNMR classified as an intangible asset with a value of $25 million at the date of acquisition.  PNMR reassessed this valuation as of April 1, 2007 and determined that the asset was impaired, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $3.4 million, which was recorded in second quarter energy production costs.

In 2006, the NMPRC approved a stipulation to allow PNM to convert its 141-megawatt combustion turbine Afton Generating Station to a combined cycle plant and bring Afton into retail rates in its next rate case, which was anticipated to be effective January 1, 2008.   The Afton costs, including the costs of conversion, allowable for ratemaking were stipulated to be the lower of the actual cost or $187.6 million. The combined cycle plant was declared commercial on October 12, 2007 and is now anticipated to come into PNM’s retail rates effective approximately May 7, 2008.  During the final start-up stages, problems were encountered that required piping modifications and significant problems were encountered with the control software and interfaces.  Furthermore, the new turbine and generator experienced problems that required inspection of all five bearings.  The combination of these issues caused delays and increased costs.  The total Afton costs will exceed the stipulated maximum amount and the excess will not be recoverable in rates. Therefore, the Afton asset has been impaired, as defined under GAAP.   The estimated pre-tax impairment charge, including future expenditures, is $19.5 million ($11.8 million after income taxes), which was recorded by PNM in energy production costs at September 30, 2007.

On June 29, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNMR purchased 100% of a trust that owns a 2.27% undivided interest, representing 29.8 MW, in PVNGS Unit 2 and a 0.76% undivided interest in certain PVNGS common facilities, as well as a lease under which such facilities are leased to PNM.  The beneficial interest in the trust was purchased for $44.0 million in cash and the assumption of $41.2 million in long-term debt payable to PVNGS Capital Trust.  This long-term debt offsets a portion of the investment in PVNGS lessor notes and is eliminated in PNMR’s consolidated financial statements.  The funds for the purchase were provided by PNMR.  The lease remains in effect and this transaction has no impact on PNM’s consolidated financial statements.

The contracts recorded at fair value that do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting are classified as trading transactions or economic hedges.  Trading transactions are defined as derivative instruments used to take advantage of existing market opportunities.  Changes in the fair value of trading transactions are reflected on a net basis in operating revenues.  Economic hedges are defined as derivative instruments, including long-term power agreements, used to hedge generation assets and purchase power costs.  Changes in the fair value of economic hedges are reflected in results of operations, with changes related to sales contracts included in operating revenues and changes related to purchase contracts included in cost of energy.  Changes in the fair value of contracts qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting are included in accumulated other comprehensive income except for amounts related to the PGAC that are recoverable from or refundable to customers, which are included in regulatory assetsextent effective.  Ineffectiveness gains and liabilities onlosses were immaterial for the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Amounts due to or from counterparties for energy related derivative contracts are shown as derivative contracts on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.three months and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  The amounts shown as current assets and current liabilities relate to contracts that will be settled in the next twelve months.  Gains or losses related to cash flow hedge instruments are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income when the hedged transaction settles and impacts earnings.  Based on market prices at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, after-tax gains of $2.5less than $0.1 million for PNMR and $3.1losses of $8.3 million for PNM would be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next twelve months. However, the actual amount reclassified into earnings couldwill vary due to future changes in market prices.  As of SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is through September 2008.December 31, 2010.






goodwill and other intangible assets, and the Company has not elected to early adopt SFAS 157 for these items.  SFAS 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. FSP FIN 39-1 permits a reporting entity to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement and to offset fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) against fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments in accordance with FSP FIN 39-1.
Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company deferred gains and losses at inception of certain derivative contracts whose fair value was not evidenced by observable market data in accordance with EITF 02-3. For those gains and losses not evidenced by observable market data, the transaction price was used as the fair value of the derivative contract. Any difference between the transaction price and the model fair value was considered an unrecognized gain or loss at inception of the contract. These unrecognized gains and losses were recorded in income as the contracts settled. The adoption of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008, eliminated the deferral of these gains and losses resulting in the recognition of previously deferred gains and losses as a net after-tax increase of $10.4 million in the beginning balance of retained earnings for both PNMR and PNM and had no impact on TNMP.

As stated in SFAS 157, valuations of derivative assets and liabilities must take into account nonperformance risk including the effect of the Company’s own credit standing.  Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled and affects the value at which the liability is transferred.  Effective January 1, 2008, the Company updated its methodology to include the impact of the nonperformance risk and its own credit standing. The Company did not elect to irrevocably fair value any additional financial assets and liabilities under SFAS 159 and did not elect to offset fair values of its derivative instruments under FSP FIN 39-1.

At June 30, 2008, amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral are $43.9 million for PNMR and $8.5 million for PNM.  In addition, obligations to return cash collateral were $2.2 million for PNMR and none for PNM.

The following tables do not include activity related to PNM Gas.  See Note 14.

First Choice Trading Activities

In 2007, First Choice entered into a series of forward trades that arbitraged basis differentials among certain ERCOT delivery zones.  During the three months ended March 31, 2008, these trades were negatively affected by extreme transmission congestion within the ERCOT market. This congestion resulted in historically high basis differences between the various delivery zones. As a result, in the first quarter of 2008, First Choice recorded a total pre-tax loss of $47.1 million in the trading margins from these speculative trades that is reflected in electric revenues. Because of continued market volatility and the concern that the forward basis market would continue to deteriorate, First Choice decided to end any further speculative trading.  In the second quarter of 2008, First Choice incurred an additional $1.9 million loss to close out remaining speculative positions, including transaction costs.  Of the speculative trading losses, $23.4 million has not cash settled and represents unrealized losses on its remaining forward positions at June 30, 2008.  The majority of these positions will cash settle before December 31, 2008.  No significant additional costs are expected related to speculative trading.

Sale of Wholesale Contracts

On January 18, 2008, PNM entered into an agreement to sell certain wholesale power, natural gas and transmission contracts. These contracts represent a significant portion of the wholesale activity portfolio of PNM Electric, and include several long-term sales and purchase power agreements.  Included in the sales agreement were the Tri-State Pyramid Unit 4 operating lease and certain transmission agreements, which were not considered derivative instruments under SFAS 133.  The derivative contracts included in the sale were fair valued and reflected in the above table at December 31, 2007 as current assets of $6.3 million, deferred charges of $35.8 million, current liabilities of $10.7 million, and long-term liabilities of $47.6 million.  In connection with the adoption of SFAS 157, pre-tax gains on these contracts amounting to $17.2 million were recorded as an adjustment to January 1, 2008 retained earnings. On June 19, 2008 PNM completed the sale for $6.1 million.  PNM recognized gains on these contracts of $2.9 million and $5.1 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008.  PNM provided the buyer with a $10 million letter of credit for 18 months in connection with PNM’s representations regarding the contracts.

Capitalization
Financing



On May 5, 2008, PNM entered into a $300 million unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”) with Merrill Lynch Bank USA, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as initial lenders. The Term Loan Agreement allowed PNM, at its option, to borrow, on no more than two occasions, up to $300 million at any time prior to 45 days before April 30, 2009.  In the event of a downgrade in senior unsecured debt credit ratings of PNM, PNM may be required to borrow money under the Term Loan Agreement.  Borrowings must be repaid on April 30, 2009, or 45 days before that date if PNM makes no optional borrowings under the credit facility.  PNM must pay interest and fees from time to time based upon its then-current senior unsecured debt credit ratings.  The Term Loan Agreement is to be used for general corporate purposes.  Borrowings under the Term Loan Agreement are conditioned on the ability of PNM to make certain representations.  The Term Loan Agreement includes customary covenants, including requirements to maintain a maximum consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio and a minimum consolidated earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization to consolidated interest expense ratio.  The Term Loan Agreement provides that if PNM receives net cash proceeds from the sale of certain debt securities or the sale of assets, the amount of the commitments under the Term Loan Agreement may be reduced.  As described below, on May 13, 2008, PNM completed the offering of $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes.  On May 28, 2008, PNM was notified that the lenders under the Term Loan Agreement had reduced their commitments to $150 million.  The Term Loan Agreement provides that upon the closing of the sale of PNM Gas described in Note 2, any amounts outstanding must be repaid and remaining commitments for borrowings would be terminated.  No borrowings have been made under the Term Loan Agreement.

PNMR previously issued 4,945,000 6.75% publicly held equity-linked units.  Each of these equity-linked units consisted of a purchase contract and a 5.0% undivided beneficial ownership interest in one of PNMR’s senior notes with a stated amount of $1,000, which corresponds to a $50.00 stated amount of PNMR’s senior notes. The senior notes were scheduled to mature in May 2010 (subject to the remarketing described below) and bore interest at a rate of 4.8% per year.  The purchase contracts entitled their holders to contract adjustment payments of 1.95% per year on the stated amount of $50.00.  Each purchase contract contained a mandatory obligation for the holder to purchase, and PNMR to sell, at a purchase price of $50.00 in cash, shares of PNMR’s common stock on or before May 16, 2008.  Generally, the number of shares each holder of the equity-linked units was obligated to purchase depended on the average closing price per share of PNMR’s common stock over a 20-day trading period ending on the third trading day immediately preceding May 16, 2008, with an adjusted maximum price of $32.08 per share and minimum price of $26.29 per share.  In accordance with the terms of the equity-linked units, the senior note components were remarketed prior to May 16, 2008.  The proceeds from the remarketed senior notes amounted to $247.3 million and were utilized by the holders of the equity-linked units to satisfy their obligations to purchase 9,403,412 shares of PNMR’s common stock for the same aggregate amount on May 16, 2008.  In connection with the remarketed senior notes, PNMR sold an additional $102.7 million of senior notes with the same terms for a total offering of $350 million.  The senior notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 9.25% per year, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2008, and mature on May 15, 2015.

PNMR also has outstanding 4,000,000 privately held 6.625% equity-linked units.  Each of these equity-linked units consists of a purchase contract and a 2.5% undivided beneficial ownership interest in one of PNMR’s senior notes with a stated amount of $1,000, which corresponds to a $25.00 stated amount of PNMR’s senior notes.  The ownership interest in the senior notes is pledged to secure the holder’s obligation to purchase PNMR common or preferred stock under the related purchase contract.  The senior notes are scheduled to mature in August 2010 (subject to the remarketing described below) and bear interest at the annual rate of 5.1%.  The purchase contracts entitle the holder to quarterly contract adjustment payments of 1.525% per year on the stated amount of $25.00.  Each purchase contract contains a mandatory obligation for the holder to purchase, and PNMR to sell, at a purchase price of $25.00 in cash, shares of PNMR’s common stock (or preferred stock in a ratio of 1/10 of a preferred share for each share of common stock) aggregating $100 million on or before November 16, 2008.  Generally, the number of shares the holder is obligated to purchase depends on the average closing price per share of PNMR’s common stock over a 20-day trading period ending on the third trading day immediately preceding November 16, 2008, with a maximum price of $25.12 per share and minimum price of $20.93 per share.  Beginning on November 7, 2008, PNMR will attempt to remarket the senior notes.  If the remarketing is successful, the interest rate on the senior notes may change to a rate selected by the remarketing agent, and the maturity of the senior notes may be extended to a date selected by PNMR subject to certain conditions.  If the remarketing of the senior notes is not successful, the maturity and interest rate of the senior notes will not change and holder of the equity-linked units will have the option of putting its senior notes to PNMR to satisfy its obligations under the purchase contracts.  Although there can be no assurance, PNMR expects that the remarketing of the senior notes will be successful.











Effective June 15, 2007,PNM, and TNMP redeemed $100.0had cash balances of $54.8 million, of its 6.125% Senior Notes Due 2008 at a redemption price of 100.5% of the principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest. To facilitate the redemption, PNMR made a cash contribution, recorded as equity, of $101.2$54.4 million, to TNP, which then made an equity contribution to TNMP in the same amount.and none.

PNMR has entered into three fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional principal amount of $150.0 million.  Under these swaps, PNMR receives a 4.40% fixed interest payment on the notional principal amount on a semi-annual basis and pays a floating rate equal to the six month LIBOR plus 58.15 basis points (0.5815%) on the notional amount through September 15, 2008.  The floating rate was 6.09% at December 31, 2007 and was reset to 3.28% on March 17, 2008.  The swaps are accounted for as fair-value hedges with a liabilityan asset position of approximately $1.8$0.8 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, with a corresponding reductionaddition to current maturities of long-term debt.

Stockholders’ Equity

See Financing Activities above for information on PNMR common stock issued in connection with its publicly held equity-linked units.  PNMR offers new shares of PNMR common stock through the PNMPNMR Direct Plan and an equity distribution agreement.  The equity distribution agreement is currently suspended.  For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, PNMR sold a combined total of 80,216128,177 shares of its common stock through the PNMR Direct Plan and the equity distribution agreement for net proceeds of $2.2$1.8 million.  PNMR also issued 41,57844,621 shares of its common stock for $1.1$0.5 million through its ESPP during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2008.

Commitments and Contingencies

OVERVIEWOverview

There are various claims and lawsuits pending against the Company.  The Company is also subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, and is currently participating in the investigation and remediation of numerous sites.  In addition, the Company periodically enters into financial commitments in connection with its business operations.  It is not possible at this time for the Company to determine fully the effect of all litigation and other legal proceedings on its results of operations or financial position.  It is the Company’s policy to accrue for expected costs in accordance with SFAS 5, when it is probable that a SFAS 5 liability has been incurred and the amount of expected costs of these items to be incurred is reasonably estimable.  These estimates include costs for external counsel and other professional fees.  The Company is also involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business.  The associated legal costs for these routine matters are accrued when the legal expenses are incurred.  The Company does not expect that any known lawsuits, environmental costs and commitments will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, or results of operations or cash flows, although the outcome of litigation, investigations and other legal proceedings is inherently uncertain.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES RELATED TO THE ENVIRONMENTCommitments and Contingencies Related to the Environment

PNM

Renewable Portfolio Standard

The Renewable Energy Act of 2004 was enacted to encourage the development of renewable energy in New Mexico.  As amended effective July 1, 2007, theThe act establishes a mandatory renewable energy portfolio standard requiring a utility to acquire a renewable energy portfolio equal to 5% of retail electric sales by January 1, 2006 and, as amended effective July 1, 2007, increasing to 10% by 2011, 15% by 2015 and 20% by 2020.  The act provides for streamlined proceedings for approval of utilities’ renewable energy procurement plans, assures utilities recovery of costs incurred consistent with approved procurement plans and requires the NMPRC to establish a reasonable cost threshold for the procurement of renewable resources to prevent excessive costs being added to rates.

In August 2006, PNM filed its renewable energy portfolio report and 2007 renewable energy procurement plan.  In its procurement plan, PNM stated that it would continue to procure renewable energy and RECs from wind and solar photovoltaic facilities and to capitalize the costs for recovery in its next rate case in accordance with a stipulation approved by the NMPRC in 2003.  The procurement plan requested the NMPRC to amend PNM’s solar photovoltaic program to eliminate the annual ceiling on new customer subscriptions, to approve the procurement of renewable energy and RECs from a biomass facility under a 20-year PPA beginning in 2009 and to authorize recovery of the costs of procurement under the PPA, including costs related to imputed debt. The NMPRC issuedhas established a final order on December 14, 2006 which approved the amendment to the photovoltaic program, approved the procurement under the biomass PPA, and recognized a “disputable presumption” of the reasonableness of the costs of energy and capacity under the PPA.  The NMPRC denied PNM’s request to recover imputed debt costs, but gave PNM leave to present the issue again in a rate case.  On February 6, 2007, the NMPRC entered an order reopening the case with the limited purpose of reconsidering its determination that the act creates only a “disputable presumption” of the reasonableness of costs incurred under an approved procurement plan and invited briefs on that issue.  PNM, the NMPRC staff, and the New Mexico Attorney General filed briefs.  A decision is pending.reasonable

PNM’s Energy Portfolio Procurement Plan for 2008, filed September 4, 2007 with the NMPRC, seeks approval to recover costs associated with certain RECs.  No new renewable energy procurements are proposed in this filing.  The deadline set by the NMPRC for protests to the plan has expired and no protests are pending.  The NMPRC is required to act on the plan by November 29, 2007, but can extend the period for action for an additional ninety days.  If the NMPRC does not take timely action, the plan is approved by operation of law.

cost threshold that began at 1 percent of all customers’ aggregated overall annual electric charges, increasing by 0.2 percent annually until 2011, at which time it will be 2 percent, and then increasing by 0.25 percent annually until reaching 3 percent in 2015.

On July 1, 2008, PNM filed its annual renewable energy plan for 2009.  Costs incurred under a NMPRC-approved plan are authorized to be included for recovery in a future rate proceeding.  PNM requested: (1) approval to continue its program for purchasing RECs from customers with photovoltaic (“PV”) distributed generation systems sized no larger than 10 kW at a price of $0.13 per REC per kWh generated, which was initially approved in December 2005, beyond the currently authorized budget and cost recovery in order to avoid a suspension of the program that would otherwise be necessary by early 2010; (2) approval to implement a program to acquire RECs from customers with PV systems sized greater than 10 kW and up to 1 MW at a price of $0.13 per REC per kWh generated and for cost recovery; and (3) approval to supplement the plan with any new projects that result for the two requests for proposals (“RFPs”) that PNM has recently issued for renewable resources.  One of the RFPs was jointly issued with three other electric providers for a concentrated solar power project using solar parabolic trough technology that would be located in New Mexico.  The second RFP was for diverse non-wind renewable energy.  PNM’s filing also reported on PNM's termination of the biomass project described below and indicated that PNM may need additional resources to meet the renewable energy portfolio standard requirement for 2010 and the diversity requirements for 2011.

The Clean Air Act

Regional Haze

On April 22, 1999, the EPA announced final regional haze rules.  These regulations required states to submit state implementation plans (“SIPs”) by December 2007 to demonstrate “reasonable progress” towards achieving natural visibility conditions in certain “Class I Areas,” including several on the Colorado Plateau.  SIPs are required to consider and potentially apply BART for certain older major stationary sources.
In 2005, the EPA issued the final rule addressing regional haze and guidelines for BART determinations.  The purpose of the regional haze regulations is to address regional haze visibility impairment in the United States’ national parks and wilderness areas. The rule calls for all states to establish goals and emission reduction strategies for improving visibility in these areas.  In October 2006, the EPA issued the final BART alternatives rule which made revisions to the 2005 regional haze rules.  In particular, the alternatives rule defines how an SO2 emissions trading program developed by the Western Regional Air Partnership, a voluntary organization of western states, tribes and federal agencies, can be used by western states.  New Mexico will be participating in the SO2 program, which is a trading program that will be implemented if SO2 reduction milestones, which are still being developed, are not met.

The NMED had requested a BART analysis for nitrogen oxides and particulateparticulates be done for each of the four units at SJGS.  The CompanyPNM submitted the analysis to the NMED in early June 2007.  Based on the results of the BART analysis, PNM did not recommend that any additional pollution control equipment be installed on any of the SJGS units beyond that which is being installed. PNM believes the controls being installed constitute BART.  The NMED is presently reviewing the analysis.  Potentially, additional nitrogen oxide emission reductions could be required.  The nature and cost of compliance with these potential requirements cannot be determined at this time.

In addition, EPA Region 9 requested APS to perform a BART analysis for Four Corners.  APS completed the analysis and submitted it to the EPA on January 30, 2008.  The EPA will now review the submission and determine what constitutes BART for Four Corners.  APS’ recommendations include the installation of certain pollution control equipment that it believes constitutes BART.  Once APS receives the EPA’s final determination, Four Corners will have five years to complete the installation of the equipment and to achieve the emission limits established by EPA Region 9.  Until the EPA makes a final determination on this matter, the Company cannot accurately estimate the expenditures that may be required.  As a result, PNM’s current environmental expenditure estimates do not include amounts for Four Corners BART expenditures.

While the Company continues to monitor these matters, at the present time the Company cannot predict whether the agencies will agree with either PNM’s or APS’ BART recommendations or, if the agencies disagree with those recommendations for SJGS or Four Corners, the nature of the BART controls the agencies may ultimately mandate and the resulting financial or operational impact.

New Source Review Rules

In 2003, the EPA issued a rule clarifying what constitutes routine maintenance, repair, and replacement of damaged or worn equipment, subject to safeguards to assure consistency with the Clean Air Act.  In March 2006, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated this rule.  The action by the court did not eliminate the NSR exclusion for routine maintenance, repair, and replacement work nor did the decision rule on what activities are physical changes.  The EPA’s authority to write a rule based on the current NSPS hourly emission increase test remains in place, although the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruling in favor of Duke Energy Corporation with respect to the hourly emission increase test being the appropriate method for calculating an emissions increase for PSD purposes.  On April 2, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision.  In a unanimous decision, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated the decision of the Fourth Circuit and remanded for further proceedings consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s opinion. The decision precludes the use of an increase in the maximum hourly emission rate for determining an emissions increase for PSD purposes.  The decision did not eliminate the NSR exclusion for routine maintenance, repair, or replacement, nor did it preclude the EPA from promulgating a regulation allowing an emission increase test for PSD purposes to be based on an increase in the maximum hourly emission rate.  The EPA has announced that it will proceed with revision of the NSR rules to specify that only activities that increase an emitting unit’s hourly rate of emissions trigger a major modification.  The Company is unable to determine the impact of this matter on its results of operations and financial position.

Citizen Suit Under the Clean Air Act

PNM reached an impasse with the Grand Canyon Trust and Sierra Club (“Plaintiffs”) and with the NMED with respect to certain matters under the Consent Decreea consent decree of May 10, 2005.  As a result, PNM filed petitions with the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico on October 6 and 12, 2006, seeking a determination that PNM had complied with the Consent Decreeconsent decree with respect to the matters at issue.  The controversies related to PNM’s reports on NOX controls and demisters at SJGS.  PNM reached an agreement with the Plaintiffs and the NMED concerning these issues which was set forth in a Stipulated Order.  The Courtstipulated order entered by the Stipulated Ordercourt approving the settlement on December 27, 2006.  The settlement does not require any additional material expenditures with respect to the implementation of the Consent Decree.  Counsel for Plaintiffs has submitted statements to PNM for payment of legal fees and costs incurred with respect to post-decree administration and disputes.  The parties have settled the fee request for a nominal amount.


On October 2, 2007, PNM received notice of a force majeure event from Babcock & Wilcox (“B&W”), PNM’s contractor for the environmental upgrade project at SJGS.  In the notice, B&W claimed a potential labor shortage could impact construction of improvements on Units 3 and 4.  PNM is currently evaluating the situation with B&W.  Although the evaluation may take several weeks, PNM was required to submit notice to Plaintiffs and NMED by October 16, 2007, to preserve its rights with respect to force majeure under the Consent Decree.  If PNM, the Plaintiffs and NMED subsequently agree that the circumstances constitute a force majeure event, construction schedules may be revised under the Consent Decree.

The Consent Decreeconsent decree includes a provision whereby stipulated penalties are assessed for non-compliance with specified emissions limits.  Stipulated penalty amounts are placed in escrow on a quarterly basis pending review of SJGS’s emissions performance for each quarter.  PNM has placed $1.0As of June 30, 2008, PNM’s share of the total amount of stipulated penalties is $3.2 million of which $3.0 million had been deposited into the escrow as potential stipulated penalties.account and the remaining amount was deposited subsequently.  By letter dated March 20, 2007, the NMED and Plaintiffs requested information concerning PNM’s calculation of potential stipulated penalty amounts and the amounts held in escrow.  PNM submitted its response to NMED on May 23, 2007.  To date, the NMED has taken no further action with respect to the requested information.

Navajo Nation Environmental Issues

Four Corners is located on the Navajo Reservation and is held under an easement granted by the federal government as well as a lease from the Navajo Nation.  APS is the Four Corners operating agent and PNM owns a 13.0% ownership interest in Units 4 and 5 of Four Corners.

The Navajo Acts, enacted in 1995, purport to give the Navajo Nation EPA authority to promulgate regulations covering air quality, drinking water, and pesticide activities, including those activities that occur at Four Corners.  In October 1995, the Four Corners participants filed a lawsuit in the District Court of the Navajo Nation,

Window Rock District, challenging the applicability of the Navajo Acts as to Four Corners.  The District Court stayed these proceedings pursuant to a request by the parties and the parties are seeking to negotiate a settlement.

In 2000, the Navajo Tribal Council approved operating permit regulations under the Navajo Nation Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act.  The Four Corners participants believe that the regulations fail to recognize that the Navajo Nation did not intend to assert jurisdiction over Four Corners.  Each of the Four Corners participants filed a petition with the Navajo Nation Supreme Court for review of the operating permit regulations.  Those proceedings have been stayed, pending the outcome of the settlement negotiations mentioned above.

In May 2005, APS and the Navajo Nation signed a Voluntary Compliance Agreement which would resolve the dispute regarding the Air Pollution Prevention and Control Act portion of the lawsuit for the term of the Voluntary Compliance Agreement.  On March 21, 2006, the EPA determined that the Navajo Nation was eligible for “treatment as a state” for the purpose of entering into a supplemental delegation agreement with the EPA to administer the Clean Air Act Title V, Part 71 federal permit program over Four Corners.  The EPA entered into the supplemental delegation agreement with the Navajo Nation on the same day.   Because the EPA’s approval was consistent with the requirements of the Voluntary Compliance Agreement, SRP and APS sought and obtained dismissal of the pending litigation in the Navajo Nation Supreme Court, as well as the pending litigation in the Navajo Nation District Court to the extent the claims relate to the Clean Air Act.  The agreement does not address or resolve any dispute relating to other Navajo Acts.

The Company cannot currently predict the outcome of these matters.

Four Corners Federal Implementation Plan Litigation

In September 1999,On April 30, 2007, the EPA proposedadopted a source specific FIP to set air quality standards at certain power plants, including Four Corners.  On July 26, 2006, the Sierra Club sued the EPA in an attempt to force the EPA to issue a final FIP to limit emissions at Four Corners.  On September 12, 2006, the EPA proposed a revised FIP to establish air quality standards at Four Corners. 

APS, the Four Corners operating agent, intervened in the proceeding as a defendant in order to protect the interests of the participants.  The Sierra Club and the EPA reached a settlement over the timing of the issuance of the FIP and a Consent Decree was lodged with the Court on December 13, 2006 and notice of the lodging of the Consent Decree was published in the March 15, 2007 Federal Register.  Under the terms of the proposed Consent Decree, the EPA, on April 30, 2007, issued the final FIP for Four Corners.  The FIP essentially federalizes the requirements contained in the New Mexico State Implementation Plan, which Four Corners has historically followed.  In the case of sulfur dioxide, the FIP includes an emission limit that Four Corners has achieved following a successful program to determine if additional reductions could be made with the existing controls.  The FIP also includes a requirement to control fugitivemaintain and enhance dust within 18 months after the FIP becomes effective.  APS filed a Petition for Review onsuppression methods.  On July 2, 2007, APS, the plant operator, filed a petition for review in the U.S. CircuitDistrict Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit seeking revisions to the FIP in order to clarify certain requirements and allow operational flexibility.  The Sierra Club also filed a Petition for Review with the Tenth Circuit Court onhas intervened in this action.  On July 6, 2007, challenging whether the FIP compliesSierra Club and other parties filed a petition for review with the requirements ofsame court challenging the FIP’s compliance with the Clean Air Act.

The Court consolidatedAct and APS has intervened in their action.  In APS’ lawsuit, APS challenges two key provisions of the APS and Sierra Club petitionsFIP:  a 20% opacity limit on August 10, 2007.  On September 17, 2007,certain fugitive dust emissions, which the EPA filed a motion for limited voluntaryto remand of the record and to vacate the briefing schedulein early December 2007, and stay the proceedings during the time period of the remand to give the EPA time to provide additional technical justification for the FIP limits.  In particular, the EPA asked the court for an opportunity to provide a full explanation in response to APS’ position during the FIP rulemaking that20% stack opacity limit on Units 4 and 5 could not continuously attain5.  Briefing in this case is now complete and oral argument occurred in May 2008.  APS anticipates that the opacity standard even when no malfunctioncourt will issue its opinion before the end of 2008.  Although the equipment was occurring and to address APS’ request for an allowance for exceedences ofCompany cannot predict the opacity standard up to 0.2 percent ofoutcome or the time for each reporting period.  APS filed its response in opposition to EPA’s motion to remand the record on October 1, 2007, and on October 12, 2007, the Court denied EPA’s motion to remand.  APS believes the proper remedy for an agency’s failure to justify a rule or respond adequately to comments in the rulemaking process is to vacate the rule, not to remand the record.  The Company is unable to determine the impacttiming of these matters, on its results of operations and financial position.

In addition, on August 21, 2006, the EPA proposed a FIP to implement “minor New Source Review” on Tribal reservations.  The FIP, if finalized, would apply to Four Corners and would require preconstruction review and permitting of plant projects that meet specified criteria.  PNMCompany does not currently expect this FIP tobelieve that they will have a material adverse effectimpact on itsthe Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows or liquidity.flows.

Santa Fe Generating Station

PNM and the NMED conducted investigations of gasoline and chlorinated solvent groundwater contamination detected beneath the site of the former Santa Fe Generating Station to determine the source of the contamination pursuant to a 1992 settlement agreement between PNM and the NMED.

PNM believes that the data compiled indicates observed groundwater contamination originated from off-site sources.  However, in 2003, PNM elected to enter into a fifth amendment to the 1992 Settlement Agreement with the NMED to avoid a prolonged legal dispute, whereby PNM agreed to supplement remediation facilities by installing an additional extraction well and two new monitoring wells to address remaining gasoline contamination in the groundwater at and in the vicinity of the site.  These wells were completed in 2004.  PNM will continue to operate the remediation facilities until the groundwater meets applicable federal standards or until such time as the NMED determines that additional remediation is not required, whichever is earlier.  The City of Santa Fe, the NMED and PNM entered into an amended Memorandum of Understanding relating to the continued operation of

Preliminary work in support of the NRC’s enhanced inspection regimenregime took place throughout the summer of 2007.  On June 21, 2007, the NRC issued aan initial confirmatory action letter confirming APS’ commitments as operator, regarding specific actions APS will take to improve PVNGS’sPVNGS’ performance.  From October 1, 2007, through November 2, 2007, a team of NRC inspectors performed on-site in-depth inspections of PVNGS equipment and operations.  The NRC’s inspection results were presented at a public meeting on December 19, 2007, and documented in an NRC letter to APS expectsdated February 1, 2008.  The inspection report indicated that the facility is being operated safely but also identified certain performance deficiencies.  On December 31, 2007, APS submitted its improvement plan to be informedthe NRC, which addresses issues identified by APS management during its site-wide assessments of equipment and operations that occurred during 2007.  The NRC reviewed the adequacy of this improvement plan and issued a revised confirmatory action letter on February 15, 2008 that outlines the actions APS must take in order for the NRC to return the PVNGS site to the NRC’s routine inspection and assessment process.   This revised confirmatory action letter was anticipated as part of the NRC’s inspection findingsprocedure.  On March 31, 2008, APS submitted to the NRC a revision to its improvement plan to address issues raised by the NRC in late December 2007 or January 2008.its inspection report.  The NRC will continue to provide increased oversight at PVNGS until the facility demonstrates sustained performance improvement.  APS continues to cooperate fully with the NRC throughout this process.  Following receipt of the inspection findings and APS’ revisions to improvement plans to address the inspection findings, the NRC is expected to issue a revised confirmatory action letter in the first quarter of 2008. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter or any potential impact on PVNGS operating costs.

PVNGS Liability and Insurance Matters

The PVNGS participants have financial protection for public liability resulting from nuclear energy hazards to the full limit of liability under federal law.  This potential liability is covered by primary liability insurance provided by commercial insurance carriers in the amount of $300.0 million and the balance by an industry-wide retrospective assessment program.  If losses at any nuclear power plant covered by the programs exceed the primary liability insurance limit, PNM could be assessed retrospective adjustments.  The maximum assessment per reactor under the program for each nuclear incident is $100.6 million.  The retrospective assessment is subject to an annual limit of $15.0 million per reactor per incident.  Based upon PNM’s 10.2% interest in the three PVNGS units, PNM’s maximum potential assessment per incident for all three units is $30.8 million, with an annual payment limitation of $4.6 million. If the funds provided by this retrospective assessment program prove to be insufficient, Congress could impose revenue-raising measures on the nuclear industry to pay claims.

San Juan River Adjudication

In 1975, the State of New Mexico filed an action entitled “State of New Mexico v. United States, et al.”, in the District Court of San Juan County, New Mexico, to adjudicate all water rights in the San Juan River Stream System.  The Company was made a defendant in the litigation in 1976.  ��The action is expected to adjudicate water rights used at Four Corners and at SJGS.  In 2005, the Navajo Nation and various parties announced a settlement of the Nation’s reserved surface water rights.  Congressional legislation as well as other approvals will be required to implement the settlement.  The Company cannot determine the effect, if any, of any water rights adjudication on the present arrangements for water at SJGS and Four Corners.  It is PNM’s understanding that final resolution of the case cannot be expected for several years. PNM is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Conflicts at San Juan Mine Involving Oil and Gas Leaseholders

SJCC, through leases with the federal government and the State of New Mexico, owns coal interests with respect to the San Juan underground mine.  Certain gas producers have leases in the area of the underground coal mine and have asserted claims against SJCC that its coal mining activities are interfering with gas production.  The Company understands that SJCC has reached a settlement with Western Gas for certain wells in the mine area.  The Western Gas settlement however, does not resolve all of Western Gas’several gas leaseholders and has other potential claims in the larger San Juan underground mine area.  Discussions are ongoing with Western Gas’ successor, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, for settlement of additional claims.  SJCC has also reached a settlement with another gas leaseholder, Burlington Resources, for certain wells in the mine area.claimants.  PNM cannot predict the outcome of any future disputes between SJCC and Western Gas or other gas leaseholders.

Republic Savings Bank Litigation

In 1992, Meadows Resources, Inc., an inactive subsidiary of PNMR, and its subsidiaries (“Plaintiffs”) filed suit against the Federal government in the United States Court of Claims, alleging breach of contract arising from the seizure of Republic Savings Bank (“RSB”).  RSB was seized and liquidated after the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (“FIRREA”) prohibited certain accounting practices authorized by contracts with the Federal government.  The Federal government filed a counterclaim alleging breach of obligation to maintain RSB’s net worth and moved to dismiss Meadows’ claims for lack of standing.

Discovery was completed in 1999 and Plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment in December 1999 on the issue of liability and on the issue of damages.  The Federal government filed a cross motion for summary judgment and opposed Plaintiffs’ motion.

On January 25, 2008, the judge in this matter entered his opinion granting the Federal government’s motion to dismiss Meadows for lack of standing, denying the Federal government’s motion for summary judgment and granting the remaining Plaintiffs’ motion for summary judgment on the issues of liability and damages, awarding the remaining Plaintiffs damages in the amount of $14.9 million.  The Court determined that Plaintiffs should receive restitution damages in the amount of $17 million for the initial cash contribution into RSB, reduced by the Federal government’s contribution of $3 million and enhanced by the $0.9 million profit received by the FDIC upon selling the business of RSB.  Meadows received payment from the FDIC in October 2004 in the amount of $0.3 million, representing the final distribution of the receivership.  This payment reduces the amount of damages owed to $14.6 million.

The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this litigation as both parties have rights to seek rehearing and appeal.

Western United States Wholesale Power Market

Various circumstances, including electric power supply shortages, weather conditions, gas supply costs, transmission constraints and alleged market manipulation by certain sellers, resulted in the well-publicized California energy crisis and in the bankruptcy filings of the Cal PX and of PG&E.  As a result of the conditions in the western market, the FERC and other federal and state governmental authorities initiated investigations, litigation and other proceedings relevant to the Company and other sellers.  The more significant proceedings relatingof these in relation to the Company are summarized below.

California Refund Proceeding

SDG&E filed a complaint with the FERC in 2000 against sellers into the California wholesale electric market. In 2002, the FERC ALJ issued the Proposed Findings on California Refund Liability, in which it determined that the Cal ISO and Cal PX had, for the most part, correctly calculated the amounts of the potential refunds owed by most sellers and identified approximations for the amount of refunds due. In 2003, the FERC issued an order substantially adopting the findings from the ALJ’s 2002 decision, but requiring a change to the formula used to calculate refunds, which had the effect of increasing the refund amounts owed by most sellers. In August 2005, the FERC issued an order setting out the process by which sellers into the Cal ISO and Cal PX markets could make cost

recovery filings pursuant to the FERC’s prior orders that indicated sellers would get the opportunity to submit evidence demonstrating that the refund methodology creates a revenue shortfall for their transactions during the refund period (October 2, 2000 through June 20, 2001).  Included in PNM’s submittal were objections to the limited amount of time the FERC allowed for sellers to complete their respective submittals, and the FERC’s arbitrary decision to allow only marketers, and not load serving entities such as PNM, to include a return component in their cost filings. PNM participated with certain other sellers to request rehearing of these issues before the FERC. In September 2005, PNM made its cost recovery filing identifying its costs associated with sales into the Cal ISO and Cal PX markets during the refund period. In January 2006, the FERC issued its order on the cost recovery filings, acting on 23 filings that were made by multiple sellers. The FERC accepted that portion of PNM’s filing submitted as prescribed by the FERC’s August 2005 order, but rejected the alternative filings that included a return component for PNM as a load serving entity. The effect of the FERC’s order is that PNM’s allowed cost offset against its refund liability is zero. In February 2006, PNM filed a petition for rehearing requesting FERC to reconsider its order and allow PNM to include a return on equity.equity, which is still pending before FERC. In November 2007, FERC issued an order denying other rehearing petitions regarding the cost recovery calculation methodology, including the appropriateness of earning a return by load serving entities.  This was not an order on PNM’s specific rehearing request.  However, to preserve its rights to appeal the issues, PNM filed an appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on these cost recovery rehearing orders.  While PNM believes it has meritorious legal arguments, the Company cannot predict the outcome of this cost recovery proceeding at this time.

As previously reported, there have been a number of additional appeals pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit with regard to FERC’s orders issued in the various California market refund dockets and PNM has participated in various appeals as one of the members of the Competitive Sellers Group.  The Ninth Circuit has held a number of mediation conferences in which PNM has participated, regarding these and the multiple other appeals pending before it, to assess the opportunities for settlement, in which PNM has participated.settlement.  The Ninth Circuit issued an order initially declaring a 45-day time outtime-out period to allow parties the opportunity to assess the recent court decisions and the potential for settlement of cases.  In October 2006, theThe Ninth Circuit extendedhas continued to extend the time out period in several of the cases.  In September 2006, a mediation conference was convened at the California Public Utilities Commission to assess the potential settlement of the refund proceedings.  The conference was attended by, among others, PNM, the other buyers and sellers, FERC personnel, a settlement judge and mediator from the Ninth Circuit, and a former FERC ALJ (whose help was enlisted by the Ninth Circuit) to aid in the mediation process.Circuit.  Representatives of PNM continue to attend and participate in the mediation and case management sessions being hosted by the Ninth Circuit.  By notice issued in January 2007, the parties to the appeals were advised that the former FERC ALJ will no longer participate in the mediation efforts.  In August 2007, the Ninth Circuit further extended the time-out period for settlement discussions to continue until November 16, 2007.  In October 2007, PNM attended an additional case management conference hosted by the Ninth Circuit.  The time-out period established by the Ninth Circuit expired in mid-November 2007.  Subsequently, the Ninth Circuit issued its mandate in the Lockyer v. FERC case and allowed the appellate process to continue in other pending appeals.  As a result, various petitions for rehearing of the court’s prior decisions have been filed in the Ninth Circuit.  PNM participated with a group of sellers in a petition for rehearing in the CPUC v. FERC appeal.  The petitions for rehearing are currently pending before the Ninth Circuit.

In December 2007, the Ninth Circuit issued the mandate in the Lockyer v. FERC case and formally remanded this proceeding back to FERC.  See California Attorney General Complaint below.

The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of FERC proceedings that may result from the decisions in these appeals, or whether PNM will be ultimately directed to make any additional future refunds as the result of these court decisions, or whether settlement will be reached in the case.

Pacific Northwest Refund Proceeding

Puget Sound Energy, Inc. filed a complaint at the FERC alleging that spot market prices in the Pacific Northwest wholesale electric market were unjust and unreasonable.  In 2003, the FERC issued an order recommending that no refunds should be ordered.  Several parties in the proceeding filed requests for rehearing and the FERC denied rehearing and reaffirmed its prior ruling that refunds were not appropriate for spot market sales in the Pacific Northwest during the first half of 2001.  The Port of Seattle then filed an appeal of the FERC’s order denying rehearing in the

 Ninth Circuit.  As a participant in the proceedings before the FERC, PNM also participated in the appeal proceedings.  Oral argument in the case was held onin January 8, 2007.  In August 2007, the Ninth Circuit issued its decision on appeal and determined that FERC erred in excluding certain purchases in the Pacific Northwest spot markets from consideration in the Pacific Northwest refund proceeding, and that FERC should have taken into account evidence of manipulation in the California spot markets that was presented after the original evidentiary proceeding.  The court remanded the case to FERC to reconsider its decision to deny refunds, in light of the evidence of market manipulation and the various recent Ninth Circuit decisions, but did not require FERC to order refunds.  In September 2007, the Ninth Circuit extended the time period for filing petitions for rehearing on their decision until November 16, 2007.  At the conclusion of the time-out period, several parties filed petitions for rehearing of the Ninth Circuit’s decision.  PNM did not participate in any of the petitions for rehearing but continues to monitor the appeal.  The Company is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this appeal, or whether PNM will ultimately be directed to make any refunds for these transactions.

In 2004, the FERC issued an order granting the FERC staff’s motion to dismiss seven of the thirteen PNM customers on grounds that there was no evidence to conclude that these companies used their commercial relationship with PNM to game the Cal ISO and Cal PX markets.  The  FERC approved the settlements entered into by two of the thirteen PNM customers and dismissed another of PNM’s customers from the proceeding.  Of the three remaining PNM customers in the docket, the FERC staff entered into settlement agreements with two of them.  In 2004, the FERC staff filed a motion to dismiss PNM from the docket and to enter into a settlement of certain parking and lending transactions.  The staff’s motion stated that after investigation and review there was no evidence that PNM engaged in a gaming practice that violated either the Cal ISO or Cal PX tariffs.  Additionally,However, PNM entered into a settlement of certain matters outside the scope of the docket related to historic parking and lending transactions, under which PNM agreed not to provide parking and lending services prospectively without first meeting certain requirements agreed to with the FERC staff.  Additionally, PNM agreed to pay $1.0 million in settlement to the FERC to obtain satisfaction of all issues related to any potential liability stemming from the provision of parking and lending services historically.  In July 2005, the FERC issued its order granting the staff’s motion to dismiss PNM from the Gaming Partnerships docket.  In its order, the FERC found that PNM did not engage in prohibited gaming practices as defined in the FERC’s Gaming Partnership Order and also approved the settlement on the parking and lending services.  The FERC also denied the California parties’ request to keep the docket open as to PNM and terminated the PNM docket.  Subsequently, the California parties filed their petition for rehearing at the FERC objecting to the FERC’s dismissal of PNM from the Gaming Partnership investigation and objecting to the settlement reached with the FERC staff.  The petition for rehearing is pending before FERC and PNM cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the rehearing petition.  In August 2005, Enron, the final of the original 13 PNM customers, entered into a settlement agreement with the FERC staff, the California parties and others that was contested by several parties.  In November 2005, the FERC issued an order approving the joint offer of settlement.  Various parties have either objected to the settlement or otherwise sought efforts to stay or overturn FERC’s order.  In January 2007, the Enron matter went to hearing on certain contested matters.  In June 2007, the FERC administrative law judge issued its initial decision, which has no impact on PNM.  In October 2007, Enron entered a settlement with the final parties litigating against them and filed the settlement at FERC, which is still pending before FERC.



 

In 2002, the California Attorney General filed a complaint with the FERC against numerous sellers, including PNM, regarding prices for wholesale electric sales into the Cal ISO and Cal PX markets and to the California Department of Water Resources. In 2002, the FERC entered an order denying the California Attorney General’s request to initiate a refund proceeding, but directed sellers, including PNM, to comply with additional reporting requirements with regard to certain wholesale power transactions. The California Attorney General filed a petition for review in the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit issued a decision in September 2004 upholding the FERC’s authority to establish the market-based rate framework under the Federal Power Act, but held that the FERC violated its administrative discretion by declining to investigate whether it should order refunds from sellers who failed to provide transaction-specific reports to the FERC as required by its rules. The Ninth Circuit determined that the FERC has the authority to order refunds for these transactions if it elects to do so and remanded the case back to the FERC for further proceedings, including a determination as to whether additional refunds are appropriate. In October 2004, PNM joined the group of competitive Sellers and filed a petition for rehearing at the Ninth Circuit.  In July 2006, the Ninth Circuit denied rehearing.  In December 2006, PNM joined a group of sellers in filing a petition for writ of certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court challenging the decision by the Ninth Circuit.  On June 18, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Petition for Certiorari filed by various competitive sellers, including PNM.  TheIn November 2007, the Ninth Circuit’s time-out period expired and in December 2007, the Ninth Circuit issued its mandate remanding the case back to FERC.






In July 2005, the FERC issued an order terminating its proceeding on standard market design, stating that since issuance of the standard market design notice of proposed rulemaking, the electric industry has made significant progress in the development of voluntary RTOs and ISOs. In September 2005, the FERC issued a Notice of InquiryNOI on Preventing Undue Discrimination and Preference in Transmission Services seeking information from the industry regarding the provisions of the OATT for possible revision in a future rulemaking.  On May 18, 2006, FERC issued a NOPR to reform its pro forma OATT.  FERC emphasized that its purpose for the NOPR was not to create new market structures, redesign approved RTO or ISO markets, require transmission owners to divest control over transmission, impinge on state jurisdiction, or weaken the protection of native load customers.  Core OATT elements were retained, including comparability requirements, protection of native load, state’s jurisdiction over bundled retail load, functional unbundling to address undue discrimination, and reciprocity.  PNM and TNMP have filed Comments and Supplemental Comments in this proceeding.  In February 2007, FERC issued Order 890 setting out the new OATT rule, which became effective in May 2007.  Order 890 addressed several elements of transmission service, including:  (1) requiring greater consistency and transparency in calculating available transfer capacity for transmission; (2) requiring transparent transmission planning and customer access to transmission plans; (3) reform of rollover rights; and (4) clarification of various ambiguities in transmission rights under the new OATT.   Order 890 also required numerous compliance filings to be made by transmission providers.  Order 890 also attempted to clarify certain elements of transmission service utilized for network generation resources, but still left uncertain the transmission used for such resources that pre-dated transmission open access.  PNM filed a petition for rehearing seeking clarification of this issue in regards to one such generation resource that PNM has under contract.  Numerous other entities also filed petitions for rehearing and/or clarification.  Additionally, a number of entities, including EEI, have requested extensions of time for making several of the compliance filings due under the order issued in the NOPR.  In December 2007, FERC issued its order on rehearing and clarified and revised some aspects of its initial order and rule designated as Order 890 is still pending before890-A.  FERC did not specifically rule on the FERC.request PNM filed for clarification on transmission used for network generation resources.  The order reiterated its general rule on this topic, which had no impact on PNM operations.  In January 2008, multiple parties filed requests for rehearing of Order 890-A.  PNM did not join any of these rehearing requests.  The Company is awaiting FERC action on rehearing requests.  cannot predict the outcome of the final rule.









The Company subsequently executed a settlement agreement with the private relator pursuant to which the relator agreed to dismiss his appeal, the Company agreed to forego any efforts to seek attorney fees, costs and expenses, and the parties provided mutual releases.  Upon the motion of the relator, on April 23, 2007 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit issued an order dismissing the appeal against the Company.  Upon the motion of the Company and some of the other defendants, on July 19, 2007, the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming issued an order dismissing their claims for attorney fees, costs and expenses.  The settlement agreement has now been fully implemented. As a result, the Company has no further potential liability from this litigation.

Biomass Project

PNM has entered into a 20-year contract for the purchase of 3532 MW of capacity from a renewable biomass power generation facility in central New Mexico to commence in 2009.  The purchase power agreement is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent as outlined in the purchase power agreement.  The contract contains several conditions that must be met, including obtaining permits, completion of financial closing by April 2, 2007 and the start of construction by July 2, 2007.  The biomass project owner was unable to complete the financial closing on April 2, 2007 or to start construction by July 2, 2007.  As a result, PNM delivered a Remediable Eventremediable event of Defaultdefault letter to the biomass project owner.  The operator has declared a force majeure over failure to obtain an air permit.  On June 18, 2007, PNM sent a letter to the operator conditionally accepting the notice of force majeure.  The operator is required to remedy the condition within 180 days of the notice dated May 25, 2007.  A hearing was held on August 20, 2007 on the owner’s appeal of the denial of the air permit.  The air permit was subsequently approved on October 2, 2007.

The biomass project owner filed an application in August 2007 for a renewable energy production tax credit in connection with the project.   Production tax credit to all applicants is limited to two million megawatt hours per year.  The project owner’s application was initially denied, on September 27, 2007, on grounds that the owner had not demonstrated the project was a qualifying facility for the credit because it had not shown there was a sufficient amount of wood fuel under contract.  The project owner filed an appeal and ultimately obtained the

production tax credit.  PNM expected the biomass facility to begin commercial operations in late 2009 or early 2010, provided adequate financing was obtained by June 1, 2008.  However, financing was not obtained by that date, and PNM notified the owner on June 12, 2008, of the immediate termination of the agreement.  On June 23, 2008, the owner advised PNM that decision on October 10, 2007.  The Companyit disputed the basis for the termination.  PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

Valencia Energy Facility

On April 18, 2007, PNM entered into a power purchase agreement to purchase all of the electric capacity and energy from the Valencia, Energy Facility, a proposed natural gas-fired power plant to be constructed near Albuquerque, New Mexico.  A third-party will build, ownbuilt, owns and operateoperates the facility while PNM will be the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. The total projected construction cost for theValencia facility is from $100 million to $105 million. The term of the power purchase agreement is for 20 years beginning June 1, 2008, with the full output of the plant estimated up to an average of 148 MW.  PNM will have the option to purchase and own up to 50% of the plant after it reaches commercial operation.  PNM estimates that the plant will typically operate during peak periods of energy demand in summer (less than 18% of the time on an annual basis).  PNM has evaluated the accounting treatment of this PPA and concluded that until the plant reachesbegan commercial operation there are no impacts on May 30, 2008.  For financial accounting purposes PNM since it has no financial risks.  However, after commercial operation is achieved, PNM will consolidateconsolidates the plant under FIN 46R since it will absorbabsorbs the majority of the variability in the cash flows of the plant.  See Note 16.

On May 31, 2007, the office of the AG and the staff of the NMPRC filed a Petition For Formal Reviewpetition for formal review requesting the NMPRC to investigate the PPA and related transactions relating to the Valencia Energy Facility to determine, among other things, whether the transactions are prudent, appropriate and consistent with NMPRC rules, and to establish the ratemaking treatment of the PPA.  On June 21, 2007, the NMPRC ordered PNM to respond to the Petitionpetition so that the NMPRC could ascertain PNM’s position on the matters raised before proceeding further with processing the Petition.petition.  In its response, filed July 11, 2007, PNM described the terms of the agreement and process used to select this resource, stated that an investigation was not warranted and joined in the staff’s and AG’s request for determination of the ratemaking treatment for the agreement.  On November 6, 2007, the NMPRC issued an order, which appointed a hearing examiner and directed her to consider the issues raised in the petition and the response, including whether PNM'sPNM’s actions in entering into the PPA and in reporting that transaction to the NMPRC were consistent with statute and NMPRC rules.  The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

Regulatory and Rate Matters



Based on the terms of the Texas stipulation related to the acquisition of TNP, First Choice made a filing to reset its price-to-beat base rates in December 2005. First Choice’s price-to-beat base rate case was consolidated with TNMP’s 60-day rate review (see “60-Day Rate Review” below). First Choice requested that the PUCT recognize in its new price-to-beat base rates the TNMP rate reduction and the synergy savings credit provided for in the TNP acquisition stipulation. In May 2006, TNMP, First Choice, the PUCT staff and other parties filed a non-unanimous settlement agreement (“NUS”).  On July 20, 2006, the ALJ reopened the record to accept argument concerning the provisions for accumulated deferred federal income taxes and the carrying charges on stranded costs. Subsequently, on August 24, 2006, the ALJ issued a Proposal For Decision urging the PUCT to reject the NUS.  After the parties filed exceptions to the Proposal For Decision, the PUCT unanimously rejected the ALJ’s proposal and approved the NUS on November 2, 2006.  The PUCT made First Choice’s new price-to-beat base rates effective on December 1, 2006, as First Choice had requested.  As price-to-beat rates expired on December 31, 2006, the approved rates are no longer applicable.  In January 2007, TNMP’s 60-Day Rate Review proceeding and the underlying NUS were appealed by various Texas cities to a Texas district court.  TNMP and FCPFirst Choice have intervened and will defend the PUCT’s Final Order approving the NUS.



In 2004, FCPSP, a bankruptcy remote entity, was created pursuant to the agreement with Constellation to hold all customer contracts previously held by First Choice.  Constellation received a lien against the assets of FCPSP to cover the settlement exposure and the mark-to-market exposure rather than requiring FCPSP to post alternate collateral for the purchase of power supply.  In addition, FCPSP is restricted by covenants that limit the size of FCPSP’s unhedged market positions and require that sales by FCPSP retain a positive retail margin.  The agreement does not, however, permit Constellation to demand additional collateral irrespective ofERCOT incorrectly applied its credit exposure under the agreement.  If, however, a change in electricity or gas forward prices increases Constellation’s credit exposure to FCPSP beyond a limit based on Constellation’s liens in cash and accounts receivable, Constellation will have no obligation to supply additional power to customers of FCPSP unless FCPSP provides letters of credit or other collateral acceptable to Constellation, and FCPSP will be constrained in its ability to sign up additional customers until that credit shortfall is corrected.  The existing pricing mechanism under the Constellation power supply agreement expired on December 31, 2006.  In addition, Constellation has agreed to supply power in certain transactions under the PSA beyond the date when that commitment expired.  The obligations of Constellation to act as a qualified scheduling entity continue until the expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2007.






On May 30, 2006, PNM filed a general gas rate case that asked the NMPRC to approve an increase in the service fees charged to its 481,000 natural gas customers.  The proposal would increasecustomers, including the set monthly fee, the charge tied to monthly usage, and miscellaneous on-demand service fees.  Those fees are separate from the cost of gas charged to customers.  The monthly cost of gas chargecustomers, which would not be affected by the fee increase.  The petition requested an increase in base gas service rates of $22.6 million and an increase in miscellaneous on-demand service rates of approximately $0.2 million.  The request was designed to provide PNM’s gas utility an opportunity to earn an 11% return on equity, which is consistent with the average return allowed ten comparable natural gas utilities.  The petition also requested approval of a line item that provides a true-up mechanism for operational costs when system-wide gas consumption is lower or higher than what is designed in the rates.  A hearing on the case was conducted before a hearing examiner in December 2006.  On June 29, 2007 the NMPRC unanimously approved an increase in annual revenues of approximately $9 million for PNM.  The NMPRC based the new rates on a revenue requirement needed to earn a 9.53% return on equity.  The NMPRC did not approve PNM’s request for the true-up mechanism for operational costs based on system-wide gas consumption.  PNM and the AG filed a Notice of Appealappeals with the New Mexico Supreme Court on July 27, 2007.  The AG filed his Notice of Appeal on July 31, 2007.Court.  The AG’s appeal seeks reversal of the NMPRC decision on one issue – weather normalization.  PNM’s appeal seeks reversal of the NMPRC determination of the required return on equity and on four cost-of-service accounting issues.  If PNM’s appeal is successful in all respects and the AG’s appeal is unsuccessful, PNM’s authorized annual revenue would increase by about $10 million.  If PNM’s appeal is unsuccessful in all respects and the AG’s appeal is upheld, PNM’s annual revenues would decrease by $6.8 million.  Initial briefs are due to be filed November 20, 2007.The Supreme Court has scheduled oral argument for September 16, 2008.  PNM is unable to predict the outcome of these appeals.


On February 21, 2007, PNM filed a general electric rate case requesting the NMPRC to approve an increase in service fees to all of PNM’s retail customers except those formerly served by TNMP.  The request iswas designed to provide PNM’s electric utility an opportunity to earn a 10.75% return on equity.  The application also requestsrequested authorization to implement a Fuel and Purchased Power Adjustment ClauseFPPAC through which changes in the cost of fuel and purchased power, above or below the costs included in base rates, will be passed through to customers on a monthly basis.  Hearings were held in December 2007.  At the hearing PNM adjusted its revenue increase request to $76.9 million.  On September 6, 2007,April 24, 2008, the NMPRC extendedissued a final order in the suspensioncase that resulted in a revenue increase of $34.4 million.  The rate increase provides for a 10.1% return on equity. New rates reflecting the $34.4 million increase were effective for bills rendered on and after May 1, 2008.  In its final order, the NMPRC disallowed recovery of costs associated with the RECs used to meet the New Mexico Renewable Energy Portfolio Standards that were being deferred as regulatory assets, but did allow PNM the opportunity to seek recovery in the next rate case if it can demonstrate that it incurred an actual incremental cost for its compliance with the RPS.  The NMPRC also ruled that recovery of coal mine decommissioning costs should be capped at $100 million.  The order results in PNM being unable to assert it is probable, as defined under GAAP, that the costs previously deferred on PNM’s proposedbalance sheet will be recoverable through future rates charged to May 7,its customers.  Accordingly, as of March 31, 2008, PNM recorded regulatory disallowances for pre-tax write offs of $19.6 million for coal mining decommissioning costs and directed$10.6 million for deferred REC costs.  PNM to file supplemental testimonyis evaluating whether it will be successful in meeting the criteria set forth by the NMPRC.  PNM has appealed the treatment of coal mine decommissioning and exhibits to correct certain errors in PNM’s February 21, 2007 filing that PNM had broughtthe RECs to the NMPRC’s attention.New Mexico Supreme Court.  The required supplemental testimony and exhibits were filed on September 10, 2007.  As supplemented by this filing, PNM’s rate application requests an increase in electric revenues of $82.4 million, an increase of 14.8% over test period revenue.  The NMPRC staff,AG has moved to intervene.  To the AG, and other intervenors have filed testimony and recommendations regarding PNM's rate application that propose substantial reductions to PNM's proposed rates.  These parties also stated their opposition to PNM's proposal to implement a Fuel and Purchased Power Adjustment Clause.extent PNM is preparing rebuttal testimonysuccessful in demonstrating these costs are recoverable through future rate proceedings, the costs will be restored to refute the positions of these parties and further support its position.  A hearing is scheduled to begin December 5, 2007.  A recommended decision of the hearing examiner is due by February 28, 2008.  PNMPNM’s balance sheet. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the rate proceeding.



Emergency FPPAC

On March 20, 2008, PNM and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 611, filed a joint motion in the general electric rate case requesting NMPRC authorization to implement an Emergency FPPAC on an interim basis.  The motion requested immediate authority to implement an Emergency FPPAC for a period of 24 months or until the effective date of new rates in PNM’s next rate case, whichever is earlier.

On May 22, 2008, following an evidentiary hearing, the NMPRC issued a final order that approved the Emergency FPPAC with certain modifications relating to power plant performance and the treatment of revenue from SO2 allowances.  The Emergency FPPAC permits PNM to recover its actual fuel and purchased power costs up to $0.024972 per kWh, which is an increase of $0.008979 per kWh above the fuel costs included in base rates.  PNM is unable to predict if actual fuel and purchased power costs will exceed the cap during the period the Emergency FPPAC is in effect. PNM implemented the Emergency FPPAC as modified on June 2, 2008 and expects to recover $58 million to $62 million annually.  Motions for rehearing were filed by NMPRC staff and intervenors on June 12, 2008 and June 23, 2008.  PNM filed timely responses to these motions.  The NMPRC denied the motions for rehearing on July 8, 2008.  Appeals from the final order may be filed within 30 days from the last date on which a rehearing motion is denied.  The Albuquerque Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority filed an appeal on August 1, 2008.  PNM is unable to predict if other appeals will be filed or the final outcome.

Complaint Against Southwestern Public Service Company

In September 2005, PNM filed a complaint under the Federal Power Act against SPS. PNM believes that through its fuel cost adjustment clause, SPS has been overcharging PNM for deliveries of energy. PNM requested that the FERC investigate these charges for the period 2001 through 2004, and going forward. PNM had previously intervened in the Golden Spread Electric Coop complaint case against SPS for the same matter. Fuel cost charges for 2005 and 2006 are being addressed as part of the finding in the Golden Spread fuel charge adjustment clause case pending before the FERC, in which PNM is an intervenor.  The hearing was held in that case and in May 2006, the ALJ issued an initial decision in that proceeding recommending that SPS make refunds to customers, including PNM, for misapplication of charges in its fuel cost adjustment clause. The parties in that proceeding filed their exceptions to the initial decision, which has gone to the FERC for review. Fuel cost charges for 2005 and 2006 are being addressed as part of the finding in the Golden Spread fuel charge adjustment clause case pending before the FERC, in which PNM is an intervenor.decision.  PNM’s complaint also alleges that SPS’ demand charge rates for interruptible power sales are excessive and requested that the FERC set a refund effective date of September 13, 2005 for these rates. Settlement conferences were held before a FERC settlement judge throughout the first quarter of 2006. Upon the failure of the parties to reach a settlement, the judge recommended the case proceed to hearing.

Additionally, in November 2005, SPS filed an electric rate case proposing to unbundle and raise rates charged to customers effective July 2006. PNM intervened in the case and objected to the proposed rate increase. In September 2006, PNM and SPS filed a settlement agreement at FERC in which PNM settled itscertain limited issues in the complaint proceeding, as well as its concerns with SPS’ proposed rate increases in the SPS rate case.  On October 10, 2006, interested parties and FERC Trial Staffstaff filed comments on the proposed settlement.  Only one party opposed the settlement, which was supported or not opposed by the remaining active parties and the FERC Trial Staff.staff.  On October 19, 2006, PNM, SPS and FERC Trial Staffstaff each filed reply comments contending that opposition to the limited settlement was without merit.  The Settlement Judge and the ALJ have certified the contested partial settlement and sent it to the FERC for final approval.  The limited settlement must be approved by the FERC before it may be effective.  The settlement has no impact on the initial decision of the ALJ in the fuel cost adjustment clause case or the pending petitions for rehearing in that docket.

In July 2007, the FERC open meeting agenda indicated the Golden Spread complaint case initial decision was on the docket for consideration by the FERC.  SPS and Golden Spread Electric Coop filed a motion to delay the FERC action on the initial decision to provide additional opportunity for the parties to reach settlement.  PNM filed its opposition to the motion requesting the FERC to proceed to issue an order on the initial decision.  However, FERC removed the Golden Spread item from its agenda.  In September 2007, the FERC open meeting agenda again indicated the Golden Spread complaint case initial decision was on the docket for consideration by the FERC.  SPS and Golden Spread

filed a motion to defer FERC action on the initial decision to provide yet additional time for them to reach settlement.  PNM and another intervenor in the case filed their opposition to the motion requesting the FERC to proceed to issue an order on the initial decision of the ALJ.  However, FERC removed the Golden Spread item from its open meeting agenda and did not issue an order on the initial decision.  In November 2007, SPS again filed a motion at FERC to defer action on the Golden Spread case alleging it was close to settlement with Golden Spread.  The motion was unopposed and granted.  In December 2007, SPS, Golden Spread and Occidental Petroleum filed a settlement at FERC.  The settling parties recognized the need for FERC to rule on the ALJ’s recommended decision in the Golden Spread complaint case.  PNM did not oppose the settlement.

In April 2008, FERC issued its order in the Golden Spread complaint case and affirmed in part and reversed in part the ALJ’s initial decision.  FERC affirmed the decision of the ALJ that SPS violated its tariffs, and did not overturn the ALJ’s decision requiring SPS to make refunds.  However, FERC did truncate the refund period to the period beginning January 1, 2005.  Additionally, there was no identification of the amount of refunds owed to PNM in the order.  In a separate order issued on the same day, FERC approved the SPS-Golden Spread settlement entered in the case. The Company filed a petition for rehearing of FERC’s order, as did other entities, including SPS, which are still pending before FERC.  PNM cannot predict if the settlementfinal outcome of the case at FERC.

Gas Utility Assets Sale and Service Abandonment

On March 11, 2008, PNM filed its application at the NMPRC seeking regulatory approval for the sale of the gas utility assets and approval for the abandonment of its natural gas utility service in New Mexico.  In a separate application filed simultaneously at the NMPRC, NMGC requested approval to purchase PNM Gas’s utility assets, requested the issuance of a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity to operate the gas utility and provide natural gas utility service in New Mexico, and for various other regulatory approvals.  On March 17, 2008, PNM and NMGC filed a joint motion to consolidate the applications before the NMPRC.  By order dated March 27, 2008, the NMPRC consolidated the two applications into one docket and appointed a hearing examiner in the case to hear the case.  Discovery has commenced in the case.  The Company filed testimony with the NMPRC in March 2008 for approvals required for the sale of its gas utility service and for transition services to be provided to NMGC.  PNM and NMGC continue to respond to discovery requests.  Hearings have been rescheduled to begin September 12, 2008.  On August 12, 2008, the NMPRC staff, the AG, PNM and NMGC filed a motion to vacate the current procedural schedule and to move the hearing date to start on September 16, 2008.  This motion indicates the filing parties have agreed to a stipulation resolving the issues in the proceeding and anticipate that stipulation will be filed on August 20, 2008.  The motion was conditionally approved on August 13, 2008.  PNM is unable to predict the outcome of the case.

NMPRC Inquiry on Fuel and Purchased Power Adjustment Clauses

On October 16, 2007, the NMPRC opened a NOI that may lead to establishing simple and consistent rules for the implementation of FPPACs for all investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives in New Mexico.  The investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives were asked to respond to a series of questions; the responses will be discussed at a future workshop.  The NMPRC staff was directed to make a filing dealing with the need for consistency of the fuel clauses, streamlining, and whether a single methodology would be beneficial and should be applied to all of the utilities.  PNM filed its comments on December 3, 2007.

NMPRC Rulemaking On Disincentives to Energy Efficiency Programs

On January 29, 2008, the NMPRC issued a NOI to identify disincentives in utility expenditures on energy efficiency and measures to mitigate those disincentives, including specific ratemaking alternatives.  In a procedural order issued April 1, 2008, the NMPRC determined that the proceeding should be conducted as a rulemaking and appointed a Hearing Examiner to conduct workshops as part of the process.  Workshops have begun and will continue at least through August 2008.  A revised rule is expected to be approved by the FERC or whatend of 2008.

Investigation Into Executive Compensation

On December 11, 2007, the NMPRC issued an order docketing an investigation into whether the level of compensation paid to executives by investor-owned New Mexico utilities is reasonable and prudent.  The order required all such utilities to submit certain information and documents by January 11, 2008.  PNM made the required filing.  No further proceedings are scheduled at this time.

PVNGS Unit 2 Lease Interest Transfer

On June 29, 2007, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PNMR purchased 100% of a trust, which owns a 2.26% undivided interest, representing 29.8 MW, in PVNGS Unit 2 and a 0.76% undivided interest in certain PVNGS common facilities, as well as a lease under which such facilities are leased to PNM. In January 2008, PNM filed an application at the NMPRC seeking approval to acquire the beneficial ownership interest in the trust from the PNMR subsidiary.  PNM requested recovery of the costs of acquiring the Unit 2 interest through inclusion in its electric rates.  The filing also requested certain variances from NMPRC filing and reporting requirements normally required for general diversification filings.  Discovery has commenced in the proceeding and the Company has been responding to discovery requests made by NMPRC staff and intervenors in the case.  The procedural schedule has changed several times, and the hearing in the case is currently set for October 2008.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of the fuel cost adjustment clausethis proceeding at the FERC will be.

SFAS 141 requires that EnergyCo individually value each asset and liability received in the Altura and Altura Cogen Power Plant transactions and initially record them on its balance sheet at the determined fair value.  For both transactions, this accounting results in a significant amount of amortization since the acquired contracts’ pricing terms differ significantly from fair value at the date of acquisition and emission allowances, while acquired from government programs without future cost to EnergyCo, have historically had significant market value.  During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, EnergyCo recorded amortization of contracts acquired of $(0.3) million and $1.0 million, which is recorded in operating revenues, and amortization on emission allowances of $1.2 million and $5.3 million, which is recorded in cost of sales.

In July 2008, a federal appeals court ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Court invalidated CAIR.  This ruling appears to remove the need for emissions allowance credits under the CAIR program.  EnergyCo currently carries $153.5 million in inventory for emissions allowances, $34.6 million of which fall under the CAIR program, from the purchase of the Altura Cogen plant and contribution of the Twin Oaks plant.  EnergyCo is currently evaluating what impacts this ruling might have on the value of this inventory.

The contribution of Altura created a basis difference between PNMR’s recorded investment in EnergyCo and 50 percent of EnergyCo’s equity.  While the portion of the basis difference related to contract amortization will only continue through 2010, other basis differences, including a difference related to emission allowances, will continue to exist through the life of the Altura plant.  For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the basis difference adjustment detailed above of $0.2 million and $0.6 million relates mainly to contract amortization with insignificant offsets related to the other minor basis difference components.

EnergyCo intends to have an active hedging program that covers a multi-year period.  The level of hedging at any given time varies depending on current market conditions and other factors.  Economic hedges that do not qualify for or are not designated as cash flow hedges or normal purchases/sales under SFAS 133 are derivative instruments that are required to be marked to market.  Changes in the fair value of economic hedges resulted in an increase in net earnings of $8.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a reduction of net earnings of $39.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of higher power prices.  Due to the extreme market volatility experienced in the first quarter in the ERCOT market, EnergyCo made the decision to exit the speculative trading business and close out the speculative trading positions.  In May 2008, EnergyCo closed out all remaining

speculative positions.  EnergyCo recognized speculative trading losses of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 and less than $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2008.  No additional costs are expected related to speculative trading.

The assets of Altura transferred to EnergyCo included the development rights for a possible 600-megawatt expansion of the Twin Oaks plant, which was classified as an intangible asset.  EnergyCo has made a strategic decision not to pursue the Twin Oaks expansion at this time and, in the three months ended June 30, 2008, has written off the development rights as an impairment of intangible assets amounting to $21.8 million.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Note 21 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 20062007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1)10-K contains information regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements that could have a material impact on the Company.  No accounting pronouncements issued since that report are expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.  See Note 4 regarding the implementation of SFAS 157, SFAS 159, and FSP FIN 39-1.

SFAS 161 – Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133

In March 2008, the FASB released SFAS 161, which is effective for years beginning after November 15, 2008 and changes the disclosure requirements for discussion concerningderivative instruments and hedging instruments.  Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operation, and cash flows.  The Company is currently reviewing the adoptionrequirements of FIN 48 as ofSFAS 161 and will implement the required disclosures no later than January 1, 2007.2009.

SFAS 162 – The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

The current GAAP hierarchy, as set forth in the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement on Auditing Standards No. 69, has been criticized because (1) it is directed to the auditor rather than the entity, (2) it is complex, and (3) it ranks FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts, which are subject to the same level of due process as FASB Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, below industry practices that are widely recognized as generally accepted but that are not subject to due process.  The Board concluded that the GAAP hierarchy should reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB and issued this Statement to achieve that result.  This statement is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval.  The Company has reviewed the impact of SFAS 162 and does not believe it will result in a change in current practice.

Discontinued Operations

In connection withAs discussed in Note 2, PNM entered into an agreement to sell its gas operations, which comprise the acquisition of TNP and its principal subsidiaries, TNMP and First Choice,PNM Gas segment.  Under GAAP, the NMPRC stipulated that all TNMP’s New Mexico operations would transfer to the ownership of PNM.  This transfer took place on January 1, 2007 when TNMP transferred its New Mexico operational assets and liabilities of PNM Gas are considered to PNMR through redemptionbe held-for-sale beginning December 31, 2007 and presented as discontinued operations on the accompanying balance sheets.  The PNM Gas results of TNMP’s common stock.  PNMR contemporaneously contributedoperations are excluded from continuing operations and presented as discontinued operations on the TNMP New Mexico operational assets and liabilitiesstatements of earnings.  Prior periods have been recast to PNM.

be consistent with this presentation.  In accordance with SFAS 144, and EITF 03-13, the Company determined that the New Mexico operations component of TNMPno depreciation is required to be reportedrecorded on assets held for sale in 2008.  Summarized financial information for PNM Gas is as discontinued operations in the TNMP Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period January 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006. Due to the fact the net assets were distributed to TNMP’s parent, PNMR, the assets and liabilities were considered “held and used” up until the date of transfer and, according to SFAS 144, are not classified as “held for sale” within TNMP’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2006.  No gain or loss or impairments were recognized on the disposition due to the fact the transfer was among entities under common control.  Furthermore, the TNMP New Mexico operations are subject to traditional rate of return regulation.  Subsequent to the transfer, the NMPRC regulates these operations in the same manner as prior to the transfer.  Under SFAS 71, the assets and liabilities were recorded by PNM at TNMP’s carrying amounts, which represent their fair value within the regulatory environment.follows:

Under SFAS 154, the asset transfer did not meet the definition of a “change in reporting entity” since PNM’s financial statement composition remained unchanged after the transfer.  The assets and operations transferred from TNMP are in the same line of business as PNM and are immaterial to both PNM’s assets and net earnings.

(15)           Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, which requires that the Company recognize only the impact of tax positions that, based on their technical merits, are more likely than not to be sustained upon an audit by the taxing authority.  FIN 48 also specifies standards for recognizing interest income and expense.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, PNMR established a liability under FIN 48 of $33.9 million, reduced its previously recorded tax liabilities by $39.9 million, increased the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings by $1.6 million, increased interest payable by $3.2 million, and decreased goodwill by $1.2 million.  PNM established an asset under FIN 48 of $3.6 million, reduced its previously recorded tax liabilities by $3.6 million, increased the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings by $0.6 million, and increased interest receivable by $0.6 million.  TNMP established no liability under FIN 48, recorded interest receivable of $3.3 million, increased the January 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings by $2.0 million, and decreased goodwill by $1.3 million.

As of January 1, 2007 under FIN 48, PNMR had $33.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized; PNM had $3.6 million of unrecognized tax expense, none of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized; and TNMP had no unrecognized tax benefits.  As a result of settlements with the IRS, PNMR has recognized approximately $16.0 million of income tax benefit in June 2007.  Including this benefit, PNMR’s effective tax rate was 7.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  Without this non-recurring benefit, PNMR’s effective tax rate would have been 33.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, PNMR established a liability of $15.2 million for additional unrecognized tax benefits, which was offset by deferred income taxes and had no effect on earnings.  At September 30, 2007, PNMR had $17.3 million of unrecognized tax benefits, PNM had $3.5 million of unrecognized tax expense, and TNMP had no unrecognized tax benefits.  While it cannot be assured, it is anticipated that approximately $0.5 million of unrecognized tax expense of PNMR and $3.3 million of unrecognized tax expense of PNM will be reversed by September 30, 2008.  The Company is unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement of the remaining unrecognized tax benefits and expenses.

    PNM uses call options and financial swaps to facilitate the hedge strategy. PNM Gas also enters into physical gas contracts to meet the needs of its retail sales-service customers.  Costs and gains and losses for these instruments are deferred and amortized overrecovered through the livesPGAC with no income statement effect.  At June 30, 2008, PNM Gas had $1.7 million of the leases, approximatelycurrent assets and current liabilities related to these instruments.  At December 31, 2007, PNM Gas had $7.1 million of current assets and current liabilities related to these instruments.  At June 30, years.

In 1990, the New Mexico Public Service Commission (“NMPSC”), the predecessor to the NMPRC, ordered that the portion of the gain on the sale-leasebacks attributable to PNM’s New Mexico customers was to reduce electric rates over 15 years.  Accordingly, under GAAP, the amortization period for the portion of the gain on the sale-leasebacks remaining at that time2008, PNM Gas derivatives were valued using Level 2 and attributable to New Mexico customers should have been changed to match the rate-making treatment, which would have resultedLevel 3 inputs as defined in that portion of the gain being completely amortized by 2001.  However, PNM continued to amortize the gain over the lives of the leases for financial reporting purposes, which was longer than the 15 years determined by the NMPSC.  The portion of the gain not attributable to PNM’s New Mexico customers was not affected by the NMPSC order and has continued to be amortized over the lives of the leases in accordance with GAAP.

In connection with the above, PNMR and PNM have restated the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included herein and the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for such periods, as appropriate.  This restatement does not impact the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TNMP.

(17)  Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS    The market capitalization of PNMR’s common stock has been significantly below book value during 2008, which is an indicator that intangible assets may be impaired.  In addition, changes in the ERCOT market in which First Choice operates have significantly impacted its results of operations.  The first step of the impairment test for goodwill requires that the Company compare the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill.  For non-amortizing intangibles, the Company compares the fair value of the intangible asset to its recorded value.  As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded there was an indication of impairment in the reporting units having goodwill and that the First Choice trade name was impaired.  This conclusion requires the Company to perform the second step of the SFAS 142 impairment analysis, determining the amount of goodwill impairment to be recorded.  The amount is calculated by comparing the implied fair value of the goodwill to its carrying amount.  This exercise requires the Company to allocate the fair value determined in step one to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.  Any remaining fair value would be the implied fair value of goodwill on the testing date.  To the extent the recorded amount of goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value determined in step two, an impairment loss is reflected in results of operations.  Although the impairments of goodwill have no income tax effects, the impairment of the First Choice trade name does have an income tax effect.

The impairments of goodwill amounting to $128.8 million have no income tax impacts.  However, the impairment of the equity-linked units.First Choice trade name amounting to $7.4 million and PNMR’s equity in the EnergyCo impairment amounting to $10.9 million do have income tax impacts.  The absence of income tax benefits on the goodwill impairments has a significant impact on the effective tax rates of the Company in 2008.  In 2007, PNMR had favorable tax decisions regarding previously unrecognized tax benefits, including a settlement with the IRS, that had a $16.0 million positive impact on income taxes, which reduced the effective tax rate.

Segment Information

The following discussion is based on the segment methodology that PNMR’s management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its various business activities.  Unusual and non-recurring items are included in the Corporate and Other segment.  References to 2006 amounts in the following discussion have not been adjusted to reflect the transfer of TNMP’s New Mexico operations that are discussed above.  See Note 3 for more information on PNMR’s operating segments.  Income taxes, interest charges, and non-operating items are discussed for PNMR in total.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.  Trends and contingencies of a material nature are discussed to the extent known.  Refer also to “DisclosureDisclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements”Statements in this Item 2 and to Part II, Item 1A. “RiskRisk Factors.

Adjustments related to EITF 03-11 are included in Corporate and Other.  EITF 03-11 requires a net presentation of all realized gains and losses on non-normal derivative transactions that do not physically deliver and that are offset by similar transactions during settlement.  Management evaluates Wholesale operations on a gross presentation basis due to its primarily net asset-backed marketing strategy and the importance it places on the ability to repurchase and remarket previously sold capacity.

During the thirdsecond quarter of 2007, warmer temperaturesreflecting the net amount of fuel and purchased power costs used to serve retail loads that were recovered in New Mexico resulted in increased sales volume, as cooling degree-days increased 44.6% from the third quarter of 2006.  Year-to-date 2007, increased usage dueaddition to weatheramounts recovered through base rates.

An increase in the third quarteraverage retail customer count, combined with higher per-customer usage among residential and also during the heating seasoncommercial customers, was partially offset by a reduction in sales volumes due to the reduced usageoperations of a major industrial customer and higher costs to serve this growth.

For the three months ended June 30, the increase in segment earnings associated with sales growth was more than offset by increases in generation prices and purchased power costs.  For the six months ended June 30, increases in generation prices and purchased power costs more than offset the increase in regulated sales growth.

For the three months ended June 30, increased generation from milder temperatures inregulated power plants increased system sales revenues, gross margin and segment earnings.  During the second quarter.first quarter of 2008, planned outages at SJGS Unit 3 and Four Corners Unit 5, along with the extension of a planned outage for environmental upgrades at SJGS Unit 4 and a planned refueling outage at PVNGS Unit 3, decreased off-system sales revenues, gross margins and segment earnings.  During both the third quarterfirst and second quarters of 2007 and year-to-date 2007, an increase in average customer counts and load growth resulted in increases in sales volumes and operating revenues.

Higher coal costs at SJGS and Four Corners have decreased gross margin and operating income for the third quarter and year-to-date 2007.

During the third quarter of 2007, reduced generation at SJGS from a planned outage, offset by slight improvements in PVNGS and Four Corners performance, resulted in a $4.6 million decrease to gross margin.  Additionally,2008, O&M costs related to outagesregulated plant performance increased by $1.9 millionas a result of an increase in the maintenance work performed during the thirdoutages, the addition of Afton and an increase in costs for labor, materials and supplies.

A decrease in the sales of SO2 allowances reduced revenues, gross margin and segment earnings.

Unregulated margins decreased over prior year levels due to increased costs to serve long-term sales contracts and decreased availability at PVNGS.  Unregulated margins also benefited from an increase in trading margins primarily driven by losses recognized in the second quarter of 2007.

Year-to-date 2007 compared to 2006, PVNGS performance resultedA gain on the sale of the merchant portfolio in a $11.2 million increase toJune 2008 increased revenues, gross margin and segment earnings.  PNM’s merchant portfolio included certain wholesale power, natural gas and transmission contracts that represent a $0.7 million increase in O&M costs.  SJGS performance resulted in a $3.0 million decrease to gross marginsignificant portion of the wholesale activity portfolio of PNM Electric and a $1.0 million increase to O&M costs.  Decreased Four Corners performance resulted in a $4.7 million decrease to gross margininclude several long-term sales and a $0.9 million increase to O&M costs.purchase power agreements.  See Note 4.

ForChanges in net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges were driven by increased gas and electric price movements during the third quarterfirst and year-to-date 2007, increases in general operational expensessecond quarters of 2008 compared to the first and second quarters of 2007.

Operational costs include costs for materials and supplies, self-insurance, depreciation, advertising, and interest as well as shared services, employee labor, pension and benefit costs.  Inbenefits.  Increased costs in the thirdsecond quarter, these increaseslargely driven by interest on higher debt balances and transaction fees associated with the refinancing of debt, were partially offset by decreases in incentive-based and stock-based compensation.compensation, as well as cost savings resulting from the business improvement plan.

Income related to NDT assets includes realized gains and losses, interest and dividend income and any associated fees and taxes, along with other than temporary impairment losses recognized in accordance with SFAS 115.  This income totaled a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2008 and a loss of $4.3 million for the six months ending June 30, 2008, compared to a gain of $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 and $2.9 million for the six months ending June 30, 2007.

An impairment of goodwill amounting to $51.1 million was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of the annual impairment assessment (See Note 17).  Regulatory disallowances resulting from the NMPRC’s rate order dated April 24, 2008 include write-offs of $10.6 million for deferred costs of RECs and $19.6 million for coal mine decommissioning costs.

The PUCT issuedAn impairment of goodwill amounting to $34.5 million was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as a signed order on November 2, 2006 related to the stranded costs incurred by TNMP as partresult of the deregulation of the Texas energy marketannual impairment assessment (See Note 17).

Operational costs include costs for materials and the associated carrying charges.  The details of this order are discussedsupplies, self-insurance, depreciation and advertising, as well as shared services, employee labor, pension and benefits.  Increased building maintenance and shared service costs in the TNMP 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1).  This PUCT order resultedsecond quarter were more than offset by decreases in a net increase to revenue of $5.6 millionincentive-based compensation in the thirdfirst quarter of 2007 that was partially offset by an increase in amortization expense of $1.0 million.  Year-to-date, a $13.5 million net increase in revenues related toand savings resulting from the same PUCT order was partially offset by an increase in amortization expense of $2.8 million.business improvement plan.

Increased transmission prices caused an increase in revenues in both the third quarter of 2007 and year-to-date 2007.  In the third quarter, this increase to revenues also had a favorable impact on operating income.  Year-to-date, the increase in revenues was completely offset by an increase in transmission costs paid to other utilities.

Due to the pending sale of the PNM Gas business, the Company is reporting this segment as discontinued operations as required under GAAP.  See Note 14.  Certain corporate items that historically were allocated to the PNM Gas segment cannot be included as discontinued operations and were reassigned to PNM Electric for previously reported periods.  These items include officer compensation, depreciation on common utility and shared-service assets, and postage costs.  The after-tax amount of costs reassigned in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 totaled $1.6 million and $3.3 million.  Beginning in 2008, these costs were reallocated among all PNMR business segments.

PNM Gas purchases natural gas in the open market and resells it at no profit to its sales-service customers.  As a result, increases or decreases in gas revenues driven by gas costs do not impact the gross margin or operating income of PNM Gas.  Increases or decreases to gross margin caused by changes in sales-service volumes represent margin earned on the delivery of gas to customers based on regulated rates.  On May 30, 2006, PNM filed for an increase in base gas service rates of $22.6 million.

On June 29, 2007, the NMPRC unanimously approved an increase in annual revenues of approximately $9 million for PNM Gas, which included a 9.53% return on equity.  PNM and the New Mexico Attorney General have appealed certain aspects of the NMPRC decision to the New Mexico Supreme Court, which is pending.See Note 10.  Implementation of the approvedthis rate increase resulted in an increase to revenues and gross margin forin 2008.

Customer growth resulted in increased operating revenues and gross margin.  This was partially offset by weather impacts, as temperatures across the thirdservice area were colder than normal levels early in the year, particularly in January, but were milder than temperatures experienced during the first quarter and year-to-dateof 2007.

Warmer weather inRevenues from off-system activity increased during the third quarter resulted in decreased revenuesfirst and operating income for the third quarter of 2007.  However, for year-to-date 2007, this impact wassecond quarters due to increased gas prices, which were largely offset by cooler weather throughout the first half of the year, resulting in increased revenues and operating income.  Year-to-date heating degree-days increased 16.1%.

During the third quarter of 2007, an overall increase in the number of average customers was more than offset by a shift to more lower-usage customers, which results in a decrease in revenues but still represents an increase in gross margin and operating income.  The year-to-date impact of the shift in customers was more than offset by the overall increase in customers and reduced customer conservation.

The third quarter of 2007 saw decreased revenue and operating income as a result of changes in net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses, which was offset by increased revenue and operating income in the first half of the year.

Reduced off-system activity decreased revenues, but has slightly positive impact to margin and operating income, as the decreases in revenues were more than offset by the decreasesincreases in costs for the transactions.

The following discussion of results will exclude variances due to the timing of PNMR’s ownership of the Twin Oaks power plant that are shown above.

Changes in net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses decreased revenues, gross margin and operating income for both the third quarter and year-to-date 2007, driven primarily by losses on economic hedges as a result of a change in valuation technique for the illiquid period that will settle in future periods.

For the third quarter and year-to-date, increases in revenues from wholesale marketing activities werewhich more than offset by increases in costs to support these activities, as a greater percentage of joint-dispatch resources were used to serve an increasing retail load, resultingthe slight decrease experienced in the use of higher-cost gas generation or purchased power and limiting the amount of excess resources available to sell in the wholesale market.  The year-to-date decrease in gross margin and operating income includes the absence of the forward sale of first quarter 2006 excess resources.due to reduced activity.

During the third quarter of 2007, reduced generation at SJGS from a planned outage, offset by slight improvements in PVNGS and Four Corners performance, resulted in a $2.6 million decrease to gross margin.  Additionally, O&MOperational costs related to outages at SJGS and PVNGS increased by $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2007.

Year-to-date 2007 compared to 2006, PVNGS performance resulted in a $12.0 million increase to gross margin and a $1.3 million decrease in O&M costs.  SJGS performance resulted in a $1.6 million decrease to gross margin and a $0.2 million increase to O&M costs.  Four Corners performance resulted in a $3.7 million decrease to gross margin and a $0.1 million increase to O&M costs.

Increased coal costs at SJGS and Four Corners have decreased gross margin and operating income for both the third quarter and year-to-date 2007.

For the third quarter and year-to-date 2007, increases in general operational expenses include costs for materials and supplies, self-insurance and advertising, as well as shared service,services, employee labor, pension and benefit costs.  In the third quarter,benefits.  Decreases in these costs were mostly offset byin 2008 represent decreases in incentive-based and stock-based compensation.compensation, as well as cost savings resulting from the business improvement plan.

Due to the pending sale of the gas business, the assets held for sale have not been depreciated in accordance with SFAS 144. If PNM Gas was not treated as discontinued operations, depreciation of $5.4 million and $10.6 million would have been recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.

Altura

Effective June 1, 2007, PNMR contributed Altura, including the Twin Oaks business, to EnergyCo.  See Note 2.  Accordingly, Altura’s results of operations are included in PNMR for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, but not in 2008.

A shift in the customer mix to include lower margin customers resulted in lower sales volumesa decrease to gross margin and reduced operating incomesegment earnings for both the thirdsecond quarter and year-to-date 2007.

For the third quarter and year-to-date 2007, an increase in customers resulted in increased revenues compared to 2006, but changes in the overall customer mix and reduced usage per customer caused a decrease in gross margin and operating income.

2008.  An increase in the average retail sales price over 20062007 levels, for the third quarter and year-to-date 2007largely related to higher purchased power costs, resulted in increased sales revenues. However, this was more than offset by increased purchasethese higher power prices and transmission charges, causingcosts resulted in a decrease in the average retail margin per MWh sold.margin.  Average market clearing prices

 within ERCOT have increased 115 percent since December of 2007.  A delay in implementing price increases on fixed price term customer renewals, coupled with contractual limitations on monthly price increases for floating rate customers prevented First Choice from recouping the dramatic increase in purchase power costs. Losses on unrealized economic hedges in the second quarter 2008 and a gain year-to-date represent unrealized fair value estimates related to forward energy contracts and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that will be realized upon settlement.

For the third quarter,six months ended June 30, a decrease in trading margins from a $1.4 million gain in 2006 to a $5.7$1.7 million loss in 2007 resulted in a net $7.1 million decrease to operating income.  Year-to-date, a decrease in trading margins from a $7.0 million gain in 2006 to a $7.3$49.0 million loss in 20072008 resulted in a net $14.3an after-tax $30.4 million decrease in segment earnings.  The losses were primarily the result of a series of speculative forward trades that arbitraged basis differentials among certain ERCOT delivery zones.  Because of continued market volatility and the concern that the forward basis market would continue to operating income.  Current yeardeteriorate, First Choice decided to end any further speculative trading.  In the second quarter of 2008, First Choice incurred a $1.9 million loss to close out remaining speculative positions.  Of the speculative trading losses, were driven by third quarter market$23.4 million has not cash settled and represents unrealized losses on its remaining forward positions at June 30, 2008.  The majority of these positions will cash settle before December 31, 2008.  No significant additional costs are expected related to surplus power supply that decreased in value due to a decrease in market heat rates, largely due to milder weather, along with a decrease in gas prices.speculative trading.

Bad debt expense remained flat duringImpairments of goodwill of $43.2 million and the First Choice trade name of $7.4 million pre-tax ($4.8 million after-tax) were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of the annual impairment assessment (See Note 17).  Because of the timing and complexity of the calculations required in the impairment analysis related to the goodwill of First Choice, the Company anticipates finalizing this analysis in the third quarter of 2007, but increased during the first half2008.  However, a preliminary estimate of the year, resultinggoodwill impairment has been recorded based on the calculations performed to date and may be revised, as allowed by GAAP.

Other operational costs include costs for customer acquisition and service, as well as shared services, employee labor, pension, and benefits.  Increased operational costs including higher bad debt expense resulted in a decrease to year-to-date operating income.  Reductions in incentive-based compensation as a result of lowersegment earnings in 2007 have decreased operating expenses for both the third quarter and year-to-date 2007.

EnergyCo

Upon the contribution of Altura to EnergyCo, EnergyCo became a separate segment for PNMR effective June 1, 2007.  During the three months ended September 30, 2007, EnergyCo completed the acquisition of an additional generating plant and announced plans to co-develop a separate facility generating unit.  See Notes 2 and 11.  PNMR accounts for its investment in EnergyCo using the equity method of accounting.  The summary of EnergyCo’s results of operations since June 1, 2007 is as follows:

EnergyCo’s margin results are mainly driven by spark spread and the availability of its two plants, Twin Oaks and Altura Cogen.  The Altura Cogen facility was acquired on August 1, 2007 and its results are included in EnergyCo’s results from the acquisition date forward.  For the periods shown, Twin Oaks’ output was fully contracted.  Despite two brief unplanned outages, Twin Oaks maintained consistently high plant availability.  Altura Cogen was successfully integrated into EnergyCo and did not experience any unplanned outages during the period, which enabled consistent revenues related to its contracted output.  Altura Cogen has a significant amount of its output available to be sold into the ERCOT market.  Market conditions, including spark spread and heat rate, can impact the profitability of these merchant sales.

Corporate and Other

Operating revenues decreased along with an offsetting decrease in cost of energy for both the second quarter and year-to-date was2008.  Unfavorable operating costs were driven largely by an increase in bad debt expense as a result of eliminations made at the corporate level for transactions between PNM Electric and TNMP’s New Mexico operations that are no longer necessary as these assets were transferred to PNM Electric on January 1, 2007.residual billing system conversion issues.

Operating expenses increased $22.6 millionOn August 11, 2008, PNMR announced that it has decided to pursue strategic alternatives for First Choice.

The Corporate and Other segment includes consolidation eliminations of revenue and expense between TNMP and First Choice.  In 2007, and $30.8 million year-to-date 2007, primarily driven by third quarter increases for the impairment of Afton of $19.5 million and business improvement plan costs of $12.6 million, in addition toPNMR incurred costs associated with the formation of the EnergyCo joint venture, an impairment loss on intangible assets, and theas well as a loss on the contribution of Altura to EnergyCo, which are included in the Corporate and Other segment.  Corporate and Other results also include earnings associated with EnergyCo.  Further explanation of $11.2 million year-to-date 2007.  Theseequity in earnings of EnergyCo is shown below.  As part of the business improvement plan to reduce costs were partially offset by third quarter decreases for a $2.8 million gain on the sale of a turbine, $2.4 million for the elimination of a PVNGS capital trust lease, and a $2.1 million true-upimprove processes in property taxes related to Twin Oaks for periods prior to its contribution to EnergyCo.  Costs were also decreased by depreciation costs that were allocated through the corporate allocation driven by the construction of a new data center and additional shared service software, and the absence of TNP and Twin Oaks acquisition integration costs in 2006 of $0.9 million for the third quarter and $3.7 million year-to-date.

Depreciation expense increased primarily duefuture years, costs to an increaseachieve these savings such as severances and consulting charges were incurred in asset base as a result of new software implementation and completion of a data center for shared services.  These expenses were allocated to the business segments through the corporate allocation.

PNMR Consolidated

Realized gains on investments held by the NDT increased $4.1 million for the third quarter and $5.0 million year-to-date primarily resulting2008.  Increased financing charges in 2008 resulted from a rebalancingremarketing of the asset allocationdebt component of equity-linked units at a higher interest rate and additional long-term debt, as well as higher short-term borrowings partially offset by lower short-term interest rates. ��In 2007, the investment portfolio.  Carrying charges on regulatory assets decreased $2.0 million for the third quarterCorporate and $6.0 million year-to-date as a result of the absence of interest income earned on TNMP stranded costs in 2006 based on the collection of costs ordered by the PUCT, as discussed in the TNMP Electric segment.  Other deductions increased primarily due to the amortization of $0.8 million for the third quarter and $3.3 million year-to-date for a wind energy investment.

PNMR’s consolidated interest charges decreased primarily due to interest effects of the settlement with the IRSsegment includes favorable tax decisions regarding previously unrecognized tax benefits, (See Note 15), which reduced interest expense by $5.5 million year-to-date 2007, increased capitalized interest on construction of Afton and AFUDC on the SJGS environmental project of $1.6 million for the third quarter and $3.5 million year-to-date, and the reduction of long-term debt at TNMP of $1.5 million for the third quarter and $1.8 million year-to-date. These decreases were partially offset by increased interest of $4.2 million for the third quarter and $9.4 million year-to-date on short-term borrowings, increased interest expense of $1.0 million year-to-date related to the refinancing of PCRBs, and interest expense onincluding a wind energy investment of $0.7 million year-to-date that began in late 2006.  Interest on the debt associated with the Altura purchase of Twin Oaks decreased by $8.0 million for the quarter and $5.4 million year-to-date, as it has been repaid.  The implementation of FIN 48 increased interest expense by $2.4 million during the third quarter and $3.1 million year-to-date.

PNMR’s consolidated income tax expense decreased primarily as a result of the settlement with the IRS regarding previously unrecognized tax benefits (See Note 15), whichthat had a $16.0 million non-recurring impact on income taxestaxes.

SFAS 141 requires that EnergyCo individually value each asset and liability received in the Altura and Altura Cogen transactions and initially record them on its balance sheet at the determined fair value.  For both transactions, this results in a significant amount of amortization since the acquired contracts’ pricing terms differ significantly from fair value at the date of acquisition and the emission allowances, while acquired from government programs without future cost to the plants, have historically had significant market value.  Amortization related to out of market contracts changed the above total operating revenues by a decrease in pre-tax earnings, which were partially offset by a change in taxation by the State of Texas that resulted in Texas margin taxes being included in income tax expense in 2007 versus Texas franchise tax being included in taxes other than income in 2006.  PNMR’s effective tax rates$(0.3) million and $1.0 million for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007 were 19.6%2008.  Amortization for out of market contracts will continue through the expiration of each contract, the latest of which is 2010 for Altura and 7.8%, respectively, compared2021 for Altura Cogen.  In addition, cost of energy includes $1.2 million and $5.3 million of amortization related to 36.3% and 36.9%emission allowances acquired in the transactions for the three months and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2006.  Excluding2008.  The amortizations for emission allowances are recorded as the non-recurring impact to income taxes related toallowances are used in plant operations, sold or expire.

In July 2008, a federal appeals court ruling by the IRS settlement, the effective tax ratesU.S. Court of Appeals for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 wouldDistrict of Columbia Circuit Court invalidated CAIR.  This ruling appears to remove the need for emissions allowance credits under the CAIR program.  EnergyCo currently carries $153.5 million in inventory for emissions allowances, $34.6 million of which fall under the CAIR program, from the purchase of the Altura Cogen plant and contribution of the Twin Oaks plant.  EnergyCo is currently evaluating what impacts this ruling might have been 33.0%.  PNMR’s effective tax rateson the value of this inventory.  Following this ruling, the trading markets for emissions allowances have deteriorated, which could impact the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007 were also impacted by a reduction in the effective rate applicable to non-operating income primarily due to the impactsfuture carrying amount of tax credits from a wind energy investment.EnergyCo’s inventory of emission allowances.


EnergyCo intends to have an active hedging program that covers a multi-year period.  The level of hedging at
8582

any given time varies depending on current market conditions and other factors.  Economic hedges that do not qualify for or are not designated as cash flow hedges under SFAS 133 are derivative instruments that are required to be marked to market.  Changes in the fair value of these instruments resulted in an increase in net earnings of $8.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2008 and a reduction of net earnings of $39.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of higher power prices.  Due to the extreme market volatility experienced in the first quarter in the ERCOT market, EnergyCo has made the decision to exit the speculative trading business. As of May 2008, EnergyCo closed out all remaining speculative positions.  EnergyCo recognized speculative trading losses of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2008 and less than $0.1 million in the second quarter of 2008.  No additional costs are expected related to speculative trading.

Results of operations for EnergyCo for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily include the operations of the Altura and Altura Cogen generation stations.  Altura was contributed to EnergyCo on June 1, 2007 and EnergyCo acquired Altura Cogen on August 1, 2007.  Both the generation stations had strong performance during the first six months of 2008, with Altura’s availability significantly higher than the same period in 2007 due to additional outages in the prior year. Since primary operations of EnergyCo did not commence until the contribution of Altura, the earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2007 only reflect start-up costs and one month of Altura operating activity.

The contribution of Altura created a basis difference between PNMR’s recorded investment in EnergyCo and 50 percent of EnergyCo’s equity.  While the portion of the basis difference related to contract amortization will only continue through 2010, other basis differences, including a difference related to emission allowances, will continue to exist through the life of the Altura plant.  For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, the basis difference adjustment detailed above of $0.2 million and $0.6 million relate mainly to contract amortization with insignificant offsets related to the other minor basis difference components.

The assets of Altura transferred to EnergyCo included the development rights for a possible 600-megawatt expansion of the Twin Oaks plant, which was classified as an intangible asset.  EnergyCo has made a strategic decision not to pursue the Twin Oaks expansion at this time and, in the three months ended June 30, 2008, has written off the development rights as an impairment of intangible assets amounting to $21.8 million.

Statements of Cash Flows

The changes in PNMR’s cash flows for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20072008 compared to 20062007 are summarized as follows:

Net change in cash and cash equivalents $(106.7) $32.7  $(139.4) $120.1  $(65.4) $185.5 

The change in PNMR’s cash flows from operating activities reflects higher coallower earnings after adjustments to reconcile to cash flows from operations due primarily to results of operations at First Choice and purchased power costsPNM Electric as discussed in Results of Operations. The decrease in operating cash flows is partially offset by higher customer growth and pricing. Other significant decreases in cash flow included settlements in 2007 of 2006 TNMP liabilities to REPs related to retail competition in Texas as ordered under TECA higherand payments in 2007 of 2006 incentive based compensation payouts and higher interest charges that were a result of higher average short-term borrowings in 2007. In addition, higher than normal gas and market prices at the end of 2005 contributed to higher receivable collections in 2006 as compared to 2007 partially offset by reduced payments in 2007 associated with gas purchases due to lower prices as compared to 2006.accruals.

PNMR had net positiveThe change in cash flows from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 primarily due toreflects net cash distributions to PNMR from EnergyCo (See Note 11) andin 2007 related to the proceeds from the salescontribution of utility plant, whereas in 2006 PNMR had net cash outflows for the acquisition of Twin Oaks.  The 2007 cash inflows were mostlyAltura, partially offset by increased expendituresless cash used at PNM for utility plant additions includingin 2008 compared to 2007 when the purchase of assets underlying a portion of PVNGS leased by PNM (See Note 2) expansion of the Afton plant environmentaland corporate software upgrades at SJGS, and higher purchases of nuclear fuel for PVNGS in 2007.impacted cash flows.

The change in PNMR’s cash flows forfrom financing activities forreflects higher long-term borrowings partially offset by the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is primarily driven byrepayment of short-term borrowings at PNM and PNMR.  In addition, the redemption of long-term debt at

TNMP was partially offset by TNMP, thenew short-term borrowings at TNMP. The issuance of PCRBscommon stock by PNM, and a decreasePNMR in short-term debt in 2007 compared 2008 also increased cash flows from financing activities. Cash flows from financing activities continued to an increase in short-term debt in 2006 that was primarily related to financingfund construction expenditures as well as strengthen the acquisition of Twin Oaks.Company’s liquidity position.

Capital Requirements

Total capital requirements consist of construction expenditures and cash dividend requirements for both common and preferred stock.  The main focus of PNMR’s current construction program is upgrading generation resources, including pollution control equipment, upgrading and expanding the electric and gas transmission and distribution systems, and purchasing nuclear fuel.  On August 11, 2008, the Board declared the regular quarterly dividend on common stock of $0.125 per share, which represents a reduction of 46 percent from the previous quarter. PNMR’s indicated annual rate is $0.50 per share. The Board took this action to improve the Company’s liquidity and set a new foundation for long-term value creation.  The reduction also better aligns PNMR’s dividend yield with industry averages. Projections, including amounts expended through SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, for total capital requirements for 20072008 are $501.7$414.4 million, including construction expenditures of $430.7$356.6 million.  Total capital requirements for the years 2007-20112008-2012 are projected to be $2,442.7$1,983.6 million, including construction expenditures of $2,006.6$1,741.4 million.  This projection includes completion of the expansion at Afton and $150.6$81.0 million for the SJGS environmental project to install low NOX combustion control and mercury reduction technologies, as well as equipment to increase SO2 controls.  These estimates are under continuing review and subject to on-going adjustment, as well as to board review and approval..  On August 11, 2008, PNMR announced that it has decided to pursue strategic alternatives for First Choice.  No significant capital expenditures for First Choice are included in the above amounts.

On March 7, 2008, TNMP entered into a $150 million short-term loan agreement with two banks.  On April 9, 2008, TNMP borrowed $150.0 million under this agreement and used the proceeds to redeem the remaining $148.9 million of its 6.125% senior unsecured notes prior to the maturity date of June 1, 2008.  TNMP is currently evaluating options for refinancing the short-term bank loan which is due on October 9, 2008, including the potential for extending this borrowing for six months, repaying the loan by borrowing under the TNMP Facility, or accessing the public or private securities markets to issue long-term debt in the form of additional senior unsecured notes, or a combination of the foregoing.

As described in Note 7, in May 2008, PNM issued $350 million of senior unsecured notes and PNMR remarketed the senior unsecured notes component of its publicly held equity-linked units.  In connection with the remarketing, PNMR issued an additional $102.7 million of new senior unsecured notes for an aggregate offering of $350 million.

During the first ninesix months of 2007,2008, the Company utilized cash from the debt arrangements described above, cash generated from operations and cash on hand, as well as its liquidity arrangements, to meet its capital requirements and construction expenditures.  On April 18, 2006, PNMR borrowed $480.0 million under a bridge loan facility for temporary financing ofDuring the Twin Oaks acquisition.  On April 17, 2007, PNMR repaid the remaining principal balance of $249.5 million under the bridge loan at its maturity.  As discussed in Note 7, TNMP redeemed $100 million of its senior unsecured notes using funds from PNMR and PNMRsix months ended June 30, 2008, PNM also received $9.8$3.7 million from draws under its $20 million of PCRBspollution control revenue bonds issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.  As discussed in Note 11, PNMR received cash distributions from EnergyCo aggregating $362.3 million during this same period.  PNMR and Mexico.

PNM have an aggregate of $60.2has $300.0 million of commercial paper outstanding and $605.0 million of borrowings under revolving credit facilities as of November 1, 2007.  PNMR, including its subsidiaries, alsosenior unsecured notes that mature in September 2008, TNMP has $616.6$167.7 million in senior unsecured notes that mature in January 2009, and $347.3PNMR has $100.0 million in the debt component of its privately held equity-linked units (which include athat currently are scheduled to mature in 2010, but as discussed below, the debt component)component of the equity-linked units will be remarketed in 2008 and the maturity may be extended if the remarketing is successful.  PNMR and its subsidiaries have no other long-term debt that will come due through 2011, of which $448.9 million in unsecured notes iscomes due prior to September 30, 2008.2016, except for $13.2 million that is due in installments through 2013.

As discussed in Note 11,22 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, EnergyCo purchased an electric generating plant in August 2007 for $467.5$477.9 million, after working capital adjustments, for which PNMR and ECJV each made a cash contribution to EnergyCo of $42.5 million.  In addition, EnergyCo has announced an agreement for the co-development of an additional generating unit for which its share of the construction costs is anticipated to be approximately $195 million.  PNMR currently anticipates that the remaining amounts of$215 million, including financing for these EnergyCo projects will be obtained from EnergyCo’s credit facility.costs.  To the extent EnergyCo’s credit facility should be insufficient to finance the current project or additional projects, PNMR and ECJV may, at their option, provide additional funds to EnergyCo.  Likewise, if EnergyCo undertakes additional projects, which require funds that would exceed the capacity of its current credit facility and EnergyCo is unable to obtain additional financing capabilities, PNMR and ECJV may be asked to provide additional funding, but such funding would be at the option of PNMR and ECJV.  PNMR is unable to predict if these possibilitiesadditional funding will occurbe

PNMR’s privately held equity-linked units contain mandatory obligations under which the holders are required to purchase $347.3for cash, $100.0 million of PNMR equity securitiescommon or preferred stock in November 2008.  The equity-linked units also provide that, prior to settlement of those purchase obligations, the debt componentcomponents of the equity-linked units, which isare scheduled to mature in 2010, will be remarketed.remarketed beginning November 7, 2008.  The maturity date of the senior notes may be extended in the remarketing and the interest rate will be reset to a level designed to achieve a successful remarketing of the notes.  If the remarketing is successful, PNMR would receive $100.0 million in cash for its equity securities and the debt may be extendedwould continue to dates selected by PNMR andmature in 2010, or such later date established in the interest rates will be adjusted to the current rates at that date.remarketing.  If the remarketing of the debt is not successful, the holders of the equity-linked units may satisfy their obligations to purchase PNMR equity securities by tendering the debt to PNMR.  The effectPNMR instead of these terms is that, if the remarketing is successful, PNMR would receive $347.3 million inpaying cash for itsthe equity securities, the equity securities would be issued, and the debt would continue to mature in 2010 or such later date selected by PNMR in the remarketing.  If the remarketing is not successful, the issuance of PNMR equity securities would offset the retirement of the debtbe cancelled without requiring payment in cash by PNMR.  As discussed below, the credit ratings of PNMR’s debt were recently downgraded.  There has also been an overall deterioration of the credit markets in general.  Although there can be no assurance, PNMR expectsbelieves the remarketing of the debt will be successful.

As discussed in Note 2, on January 12, 2008, PNM reached a definitive agreement to sell its natural gas operations, which comprise the PNM Gas segment, for $620 million in cash, subject to regulatory approval by the NMPRC and other conditions.  The parties may terminate the agreement under certain circumstances.  PNMR expects to use the net after-tax proceeds of this transaction to retire debt, fund future electric capital expenditures and for other corporate purposes.

In addition to cash anticipated tothat may be received from the issuance of equity securities during the settlement of PNMR’s privately held equity-linked units, described abovethe sale of PNM Gas, and its internal cash generation, the Company anticipates that it will be necessary to obtain additional long-term financing in the form of debt refinancing, new debt issuances, and/or new equity in order to fund its capital requirements and the repayment of senior unsecured notes during the 2007-20112008-2012 period.  To the extent the cash anticipated to be received from the settlement of the equity-linked units is not received, the need for new financing will be increased.  Although

At August 4, 2008, the Company currentlyhad short-term debt outstanding of $385.0 million.  In addition, the Company has no specific plans or commitments for additional permanent financing, itscheduled maturities of long-term debt aggregating $470.3 million prior to June 30, 2009.  The Company is exploring financial alternatives to meet these obligations.  The Company currently believes that its internal cash generation, credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets will provide sufficient resources to meet the Company’s capital requirements and retire or refinance its senior unsecured notes at maturity.  To cover the difference in the amounts and timing of cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to use short-term borrowings under its current and future liquidity arrangements.

Liquidity

Liquidity

PNMR’sThe Company’s principal liquidity arrangements include the PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility, both of which primarily expire in 2012.2012, and the TNMP Facility, which expires in May 2009.  These facilities provide short-term borrowing capacity and also allow letters of credit to be issued, which reduce the available capacity under the facilities.  Both PNMR and PNM also have lines of credit with local financial institutions.

PNMR has a commercial paper program under which it may issue commercial paper for up to 270 days and PNM has a commercial paper program under which it may issue commercial paper for up to 365 days.days although these commercial paper programs are currently suspended and no commercial paper has been issued since March 11, 2008.  The commercial paper is unsecured and the proceeds are used for short-term cash management needs.  The PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility serve as support for the outstanding commercial paper.  Operationally, this means the aggregate borrowings under the commercial paper program and the revolving credit facility for each of PNMR and PNM cannot exceed the maximum amount of that entity’s revolving credit facility.

On May 5, 2008, PNM entered into a delayed draw term loan facility that matures April 30, 2009 in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, which capacity was reduced to $150 million on May 28, 2008.  On May 8, 2008, PNM entered into a $100 million unsecured letter of credit facility, which allows PNM to obtain standby letters of credit up to the aggregate amount of $100 million at any time prior to April 30, 2009.  No borrowings have been made and no letters of credit have been issued under these arrangements.

PNMR has aan effective universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC for the issuance of debt securities, and equity securities,common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts, purchase contract units and warrants.  As of September 30, 2007,August 4, 2008, PNMR had approximately $400.0$150.0 million of remaining unissued securities under this universal shelf registration statement.  In addition, in August 2006, PNMR filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for equitycommon stock and in April 2008, PNMR filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement for debt securities.  ThisThese new registration statementstatements can be amended at any time to include additional securities of PNMR.  As a result, thisthese new shelf registration statement hasstatements have unlimited availability, subject to certain restrictions and limitations.

Pursuant to the terms of the PNM Direct Plan, PNMR began offeringoffers new shares of PNMR common stock through the plan beginning June 1, 2006.  PNMR may also waive the maximum investment limit upon request in individual cases pursuant to the terms of the plan.  In August 2006, PNMR entered intoDirect Plan and an equity distribution agreement.  The equity distribution agreement to offer and sell up to 8 million shares of PNMR common stock from time to time.  The agreement provides that PNMR will not sell more shares than needed for the aggregate gross proceeds from such sales to reach $200.0 million.is currently suspended.  From January 1, 20072008 through November 1, 2007,August 4, 2008, PNMR had sold a combined total of 87,026137,738 shares of its common stock through the PNMR Direct Plan and the equity distribution agreement for net proceeds of $2.4$1.9 million.

The Company’s ability, if required, to access the capital markets at a reasonable cost and to provide for other capital needs is largely dependent upon its ability to earn a fair return on equity, its results of operations, its credit ratings, its ability to obtain required regulatory approvals and conditions in the financial markets.  Financing flexibility is enhanced by providing a high percentage of total capital requirements from internal sources and having the ability, if necessary, to issue long-term securities and to obtain short-term credit.

On April 16, 2007, Moody’s changed18, 2008, S&P lowered the credit outlook ofratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP to negative from stable.and placed them on credit watch for possible additional downgrades.  On May 6, 2008, S&P consideredagain lowered the outlook ofcredit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP asand the outlook was changed to stable for all entities.  On April 25, 2008, Moody’s lowered the credit ratings for PNMR and PNM and continued a review for possible downgrade, while reaffirming TNMP’s ratings with a negative asoutlook.  On May 23, 2008, Moody’s changed the outlook for PNMR and PNM from rating under review for possible downgrade to negative.  The ratings actions have increased borrowing costs for PNMR and PNM; could increase future borrowing costs for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP; required the posting of approximately $14.7 million of letters of credit to support certain contractual arrangements; and could require the dateposting of this report.additional letters of credit or other collateral that would have a negative impact on liquidity. In addition, certain contractual arrangements require that the Company obtain commercial insurance for risks that were previously self-insured.  As of September 30, 2007,August 4, 2008, ratings on the Company’s securities were as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

PNMR’s off-balance sheet arrangements include PNM’s operating lease obligations for PVNGS Units 1 and 2, the EIP transmission line, and the entire output of Delta, a gas-fired generating plant.  See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2006 Annual Reports on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1).  These arrangements help ensure PNM the availability of lower-cost generation needed to serve customers.  In addition, PNMR issued both public and private equity-linked units in 2005, each of which consisted of a debt component and a purchase contract for PNMR’s investmentequity securities.  The purchase contracts are forward transactions in EnergyCo is accounted for under the equity methodsecurities of accounting.  Therefore, EnergyCo’s assets, liabilities, results of operations, and cash flowsPNMR that are not consolidated with PNMR’s other operations.considered derivatives.  The debt component of the publicly held equity-linked units was remarketed in May 2008 and common stock was issued in exchange for cash received from the purchase contract component thereby ending that off-balance sheet arrangement.  See Note 11 for further discussion7.  See MD&A – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Notes 6 and 7 of this arrangement and summarized financial information concerning EnergyCo.Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

PNMR, PNM and TNMP have contractual obligations for long-term debt, operating leases, purchase obligations and certain other long-term liabilities that were summarized in a table of contractual obligations in the 2006Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 14, 2008.

PNMR entered into a five-year contract on July 1, 2008 for the outsourcing of certain data processing services.  This contract has a five-year base period of performance and three one-year options.  The base contract requires payments aggregating $20.9 million over the five-year term.

Contingent Provisions of Certain Obligations

As discussed in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1).  The adoption of FIN 48, effective January 1, 2007, was not material to the Company’s contractual obligations.  Under FIN 48, certain liabilities related to uncertain tax positions have been recognized.  See Note 15 for a discussion of these obligations and timing of the payments.

Contingent Provisions of Certain Obligations

10-K, PNMR, PNM and TNMP have a number of debt obligations and other contractual commitments that contain contingent provisions.  Some of these, if triggered, could affect the liquidity of the Company.  PNMR, PNM or TNMP could be requiredThe contingent provisions include contractual increases in the interest rate charged on certain of the Company’s short-term debt obligations in the event of a downgrade in credit ratings and the requirement to provide security immediately pay outstanding obligations or be prevented from drawing on unused capacity under certain contractual agreements. As discussed above, the Company’s credit agreements if the contingent requirementsratings were to be triggered.  The most significant consequences resulting from these contingent requirements are detailedrecently downgraded, which has resulted in increases in the discussion below.

The PNMR Facilityinterest rates on certain short-term debt obligations and the PNM Facility contain “ratings triggers,” for pricing purposes only.  If PNMR or PNM is downgraded or upgraded by the ratings agencies, the result would be an increase or decrease in interest cost, respectively.  In addition, these facilities contain contingent requirements that require PNMR and PNMrequirement to maintain debt-to-capital ratios, inclusive of off-balance sheet debt, of less than 65%.  If the debt-to-capital ratio, inclusive of off-balance sheet debt, were to exceed 65%, the entity could be required to repay all borrowings under its facility, be prevented from drawing on the unused capacity under the facility, and be required to provide security for all outstanding letters of credit issued underto support certain agreements aggregating approximately $14.7 million.  Based on additional credit facilities entered into by PNM and TNMP in May 2008, the facility.Company believes its financing arrangements are sufficient to meet the requirements of the contingent provisions.

If a contingent requirement were to be triggered under the PNM Facility resulting in an acceleration of the outstanding loans under the PNM Facility, a cross-default provision in the PVNGS leases could occur if the accelerated amount is not paid.  If a cross-default provision is triggered, the lessors have the ability to accelerate their rights under the leases, including acceleration of all future lease payments.Capital Structure

PNM's standard purchase agreement for the procurement of gas for its retail customers contains a contingent requirement that could require PNM to provide security for its gas purchase obligations if the seller were to reasonably believe that PNM was unable to fulfill its payment obligations under the agreement.

The master agreement for the sale of electricity in the WSPP contains a contingent requirement that could require PNM to provide security if its debt were to fall below investment grade rating.  The WSPP agreement also contains a contingent requirement, commonly called a material adverse change provision, which could require PNM to provide security if a material adverse change in its financial condition or operations were to occur.

No conditions have occurred that would result in any of the above contingent provisions being implemented.

Capital Structure

The capitalization tables below include the current maturities of long-term debt, but do not include operating lease obligations as debt.  The tables for PNM and TNMP reflect the transfer of TNMP’s New Mexico operations as of January 1, 2007, which decreased the common equity of TNMP and increased the common equity of PNM.  This transfer had no impact on PNMR.  See Note 14.

MD&A FOR PNM

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

PNM’s segments are PNM Electric, PNM Gas and PNM Wholesale.  The PNM Electric and PNM Gas segments are identical to the segments presented above for PNMR.  The PNM Wholesale segment reported for PNM does not include Twin Oaks.  See Notes 2 and 11.  The results of operations of these segments are discussed further under “MD&A for PNMR – Results of Operations” above.  The results of operations for Twin Oaks is set forth in a table under “MD&A for PNMR – Results of Operations – Unregulated Operations - Wholesale” above.

PNM’s net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $25.9 million compared to $50.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  The major causes of changes in net earnings were the impairment of Afton; reduced margins associated with PNM Electric/Wholesale growth and weather, as increased retail loads resulted in the use of gas generation or higher-cost purchased power and limited the amount of excess energy available to sell in wholesale markets; mark-to-market losses; an increase in generation prices due to the increase of coal costs; business improvement plan costs; and higher financing costs.  These decreases were partially offset by improved plant performance, primarily at PVNGS, and the TNMP asset transfer to PNM Electric.  The positive or (negative) after-tax impacts of these items on net earnings in 2007 compared to 2006 are as follows:

MD&A FOR TNMP

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2007
COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

TNMP operates in only one reportable segment, “TNMP Electric.”  Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 present TNMP’s New Mexico operations as discontinued operations, as these operations were transferred to PNM on January 1, 2007.  See Note 14.  TNMP’s results of operations are discussed further under “MD&A for PNMR – Results of Operations – Regulated Operations – TNMP Electric” above.

The PUCT issued an order on November 2, 2006 related to the stranded costs incurred by TNMP as part of the deregulation of the Texas energy market and the associated carrying charges.  The details of this order are discussed in TNMP’s Annual Report on Form 2006 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1).

TNMP’s net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were $15.4 million compared to $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  The major causes of changes in net earnings were the recovery of costs as a result of the PUCT order and customer/load growth and weather, which were partially offset by the transfer of New Mexico assets to PNM Electric, and a decrease in carrying charges on regulatory assets as a result of the absence of interest income earned on TNMP stranded costs in 2006 based on the collection of costs order by the PUCT.  The positive or (negative) after-tax impacts of these items on net earnings in 2007 compared to 2006 are as follows:

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY

See Notes 9 and 10 for a discussion of commitments and contingencies and rate and regulatory matters facing the Company.Climate Change Issues

Global Warming Issues

Global warming increasinglyThe prospect of future climate change regulations is a concernbecoming an issue of increasing importance for the energy industry.  A growing body of scientific evidence is demonstrating with a high degree of probability that human activity, especially the burning of fossil fuels, has contributed to increased concentrations of greenhouse gases (“GHG”) in the atmosphere and a rise in average global temperatures.  Although there continues to be significant debate regarding its existenceover the precise impacts, growing public concern over the potential effects of climate change and extent, scientific evidence suggestsincreased state and federal legislative and regulatory activity calling for the regulation of GHG indicate that climate change legislation is likely to be passed in the emission of so-called greenhouse gases (particularly CO2) from fossil fuel-fired generation facilities is a contributing factor.  Thefuture.

In January 2007 the Company isbecame a founding member of the United States Climate Action Partnership (“USCAP”), a groupcoalition of 35 businesses and leadingnational environmental organizations calling on the federal government to quickly enact strong national legislation to require significant reductions of greenhouse gasreduce GHG emissions and thatat the earliest practicable date. USCAP has issued a landmark set of principles and recommendations to underscore the urgent need foroutlining a policy framework onfor a national climate change.change program.   As a member of USCAP, the Company believes that a mandatory, economy-wide federal cap and trade program, combined with other complementary state and federal policies, is the most cost effective and
88

environmentally efficient means of slowing, stopping and reversing GHG emissions.    The Company intends to continue working with this groupUSCAP and with others in orderthe administration and Congress to bestadvocate for federal action to address this challenging environmental issue.

The Company believes that future governmental regulations applicable to the Company’s operations will limit emissions of greenhouse gases, although at this point the Company cannot predict with any level of certainty what form such future regulations will take or when they will become effective.  Under consideration are limitations on the amount of greenhouse gases that can be emitted (so called “caps”) together with systems of trading permitted emissions capacities.  Such a system could require the Company to reduce emissions, although current technology is not available for efficient reduction.  Emissions also could be taxed independently of limits.

Pursuant to New Mexico law, each utility must submit an integrated resource plan every three years to evaluate renewable energy, energy efficiency, load management, distributed generation and conventional supply-side resources on a consistent and comparable basis.  The integrated resource plan is required to take into consideration risk and uncertainty of fuel supply, price volatility and costs of anticipated environmental regulations when evaluating resources options to meet supply needs of the Company’s customers.  The NMPRC issued an order on June 19, 2007, requiring that New Mexico utilities factor a standardized cost of carbon emissions into their integrated resource plans using prices ranging between $8 and $40 per metric ton of CO2 emitted.  Pursuant to New Mexico law, utility integrated resource plans must be submitted every three years to evaluate renewable energy, energy efficiency, load management, distributed generation and conventional supply-side resources on a consistent and comparable basis, taking into consideration risk and uncertainty of fuel supply, price volatility and costs of anticipated environmental regulations in order to identify the most cost-effective portfolio of resources to supply the energy needs of customers.  Under the NMPRC order starting with each utility’s next required filing of its integrated resource plan, each utility must analyze these standardized prices as projected operating costs with respect to years 2010 and thereafter.  The Company’s next integrated resource plan is due to be filed with the NMPRC in JulySeptember 2008.  Reflecting the developing nature of this issue, the NMPRC order states that these prices may be changed in the future to account for additional information or changed circumstances.   The Company is required, however, to use these prices for planning purposes, and the prices may not reflect the costs that it ultimately will incur.

OnIn February 26, 2007 five western states (Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington) entered into an accord, called the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative (the “Initiative”“WCI”), to reduce greenhouse gasGHG emissions from automobiles and certain industries, including utilities.  Since then, Utah, British Columbia and Manitoba, Montana, Ontario, and Quebec have joined as partners in the Initiative.WCI.  The InitiativeWCI requires the states and provinces signing the accord to work together to set emission goalsa regional emissions goal within nine months and determinedevelop a specific plan to meet such goalsthe goal within eighteen months.  TheIn August 2007 the WCI signors announced a regional GHG reduction goal of 15% below 2005 levels by 2020 for the participating states and provinces.  In July 2008, the WCI signors released a draft recommendation of the design elements for a regional cap and trade program for the seven participating states and these Canadian provinces with GHG reporting requirements to commence in 2010 and a cap and trading system to commence 2012.  Final recommendations on the design elements are expected to be issued by the end of September 2008.The Company continues to monitor the WCI and to assess the implications of these proposed requirements.

Several legislative initiatives are under consideration in Congress that would regulate GHG emissions as well.  These initiatives propose a number of requirements, ranging from reporting obligations to increased efficiency to a cap and trading system.  While it appears unlikely that legislation will be adopted in 2008, the Company expects legislation to be adopted in the near-term.  It is monitoringunclear what the impact of this Initiative.final legislation will require.

The Company expects the regulation of greenhouse gasGHG emissions to have a material impact on its operations, but it is premature to attempt to quantify itsthe possible costs and other implications of these impacts.

Other Matters

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires Company management to select and apply accounting policies that best provide the framework to report the results of operations and financial position for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP.  The selection and application of those policies requires management to make difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments concerning reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  As a result, there exists the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

PNMR controls the scope of its various forms of risk through a comprehensive set of policies and procedures and oversight by senior level management and the Board.  The Board’s Finance Committee sets the risk limit parameters.  The RMC, comprised of corporate and business segment officers and other managers, oversees all of the risk management activities, which include commodity price, credit, equity, interest rate and business risks.  The RMC has oversight for the ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the risk control organization and policies.  PNMR has a risk control organization, headed by an Executive Director of Financial Risk Management, which is assigned responsibility for establishing and enforcing the policies, procedures and limits and evaluating the risks inherent in proposed transactions, on an enterprise-wide basis.

The RMC’s responsibilities specifically include: establishment of a general policy regarding risk exposure levels and activities in each of the business segments; authority to approve the types of instruments traded; authority to establish a general policy regarding counterparty exposure and limits; authorization and delegation of transaction limits; review and approval of controls and procedures; review and approval of models and assumptions used to calculate mark-to-market and risk exposure; authority to approve and open brokerage and counterparty accounts; review of hedging and risk activities; and quarterly reporting to the Board and its Finance Committee on these activities.

The RMC also proposes risk limits, such as VaR and EaR, to the Finance Committee.  The Finance Committee ultimately sets the risk limits.

It is the responsibility of each business segment to create its own control procedures and policies within the parameters established by the Finance Committee.  The RMC reviews and approves these policies, which are created with the assistance of the Corporate Controller, Director of Internal Audit and the Executive Director of
91

Financial Risk Management.  Each business segment’s policies address the following controls:  authorized risk exposure limits; authorized instruments and markets; authorized personnel; policies on segregation of duties; policies on mark-to-market accounting; responsibilities for deal capture; confirmation procedures; responsibilities for reporting results; statement on the role of derivative transactions; and limits on individual transaction size (nominal value).

To the extent an open position exists, fluctuating commodity prices can impact financial results and financial position, either favorably or unfavorably.  As a result, the Company cannot predict with certainty the impact that its risk management decisions may have on its businesses, operating results or financial position.

Accounting for Derivatives

Under derivative accounting and related rules for energy contracts, the Company accounts for its various derivative instruments for the purchase and sale of energy differently based on the Company’s intent.  Energy contracts that meet the definition of a derivative under SFAS 133 and do not qualify for the normal sales and purchases exception are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value at each period end.  The changes in fair value are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  Should an energy transaction qualify as a cash flow hedge under SFAS 133, fair value changes are recognized on the balance sheet with a corresponding entry in other comprehensive income to the extent effective.  Hedgesthe transaction is an effective hedge.  The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in results of operations when the hedged transaction settles.settles and impacts earnings.  Derivatives that meet the normal sales and purchases exception within SFAS 133 are not marked to market but rather recorded in results of operations when the underlying transaction settles.  The contracts recorded at fair value that do not qualify for hedge accounting are classified as trading transactions or economic hedges.  Trading transactions are defined as derivative instruments usedthat are either speculative and expose the Company to take advantage of existing market opportunities.risk or transactions that lock in margin with no forward market risk and are not economic hedges.  Economic hedges are defined as derivative instruments, including long-term power agreements, used to hedge generation assets, and purchase power costs.costs, and customer load requirements.

Commodity Risk

Marketing and procurement of energy often involve market risks associated with managing energy commodities and establishing open positions in the energy markets, primarily on a short-term basis.  These risks fall into three different categories:  price and volume volatility, credit risk of counterparties and adequacy of the control environment.  The Company’s operations subject to market risk routinely enter into various derivative instruments such as forward contracts, option agreements and price basis swap agreements to hedge price and volume risk on their purchase and sale commitments, fuel requirements and to enhance returns and minimize the risk of market fluctuations.

96

PNM Wholesale’sPNM’s unregulated operations, including long-term contracts and short-term sales, are managed primarily through a net asset-backed marketing strategy, whereby PNM Wholesale’sPNM’s aggregate net open forward contract position is covered by its forecasted excess generation capabilities.  PNMRcapabilities or market purchases.  PNM would be exposed to market risk if its generation capabilities were to be disrupted or if its retail load requirements were to be greater than anticipated.  If all or a portion of the net open contract position were required to be covered as a result of the aforementioned unexpected situations, commitments would have to be met through market purchases.  Additionally, PNM’s regulated generation capacity is inadequate to meet retail load requirements during certain peak times and PNM must rely on market purchases to meet these requirements.  As such, PNMRexcept to the extent costs are recoverable through the Emergency FPPAC, PNM is exposed to risks related to fluctuations in the market price of energy that could impact the sales price or purchase price of energy.  In addition, the wholesale operations utilize discrete market-based transactions to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves in the ordinary course of business.  These positions are subject to market risk that is not mitigated by generation capabilities.2008, PNM ended speculative trading.

First Choice is responsible for energy supply related to the sale of electricity to retail customers in Texas.  TECA contains no provisions for the specific recovery of fuel and purchased power costs.  The rates charged to First Choice customers are negotiated with each customer.  As a result, changes in purchased power costs will affect First Choice’s operating results.  First Choice is exposed to market risk to the extent that its retail rates or cost of supply fluctuates with market prices.  Additionally, fluctuations in First Choice retail load requirements greater than anticipated may subject First Choice to market risk.  First Choice’s basic strategy is to minimize its exposure to fluctuations in market energy prices by matching fixed price sales contracts with fixed price supply. In addition,supply retail operations.  As discussed in the results of operations for First Choice, utilizes discrete market-based transactions to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves in the ordinary course of business.  These positions are subject to market risk that2008 First Choice is not mitigated by First Choice's retail operations.exiting speculative trading.

GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument couldprice that would be exchangedreceived to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in a currentan orderly transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation.market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value is based on current market quotes as available and are supplemented by modeling techniques and assumptions made by the Company to the extent quoted market prices or volatilities are not available.  Generally, market data to value these instruments is available for up to five years for gas swaps and electricity contracts and up to 18 months for options.  The remaining periods are referred to as the illiquid period and are valued using internally developed pricing data.  The Company regularly assesses the validity and availability of pricing data for the illiquid period of its derivative transactions.  Although management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of these financial instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.
The Company has entered into a limited number of derivative energy contracts with terms that extend through 15 years.  Observable market data is not available for the illiquid period of these contracts.  In the third quarter of 2007, the Company refined the modeling technique used to value the impacts of the illiquid periods and the utilization of net present value in fair valuing its portfolio.  In the second quarter of 2007, PNM implemented new market price curve models and assumptions.  The cumulative effect of these changes in valuation is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under SFAS 154.  The effect of the change in estimate was a decrease to net earnings for PNMR and PNM of $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, which is $0.02 and $0.03 per dilutive share for PNMR

As of June 30, 2008, PNMR had $19.9 million of net derivative assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs (as defined in SFAS 157).  The fair value of these net Level 3 transactions is 17% of PNMR’s total fair value net asset and liability positions.  At January 1, 2008, PNM held $15.7 million of Level 3 net derivative assets relating to PNM Electric wholesale contracts, which were sold in June 2008 for a $1.6 million loss.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, changes in PNMR’s Level 3 transactions were primarily related to the $15.7 million sale of PNM’s wholesale contracts and $16.2 million unrealized gains included in earnings.  Substantially all Level 3 unrealized gains will settle out in 2008.

Risk Management Activities

PNM Wholesale measures the market risk of its long-term contracts and wholesale activities using a VaR calculation to maintain the Company’s total exposure within management-prescribed limits.  The Company’s VaR calculation reports the possible market loss for the respective transactions.  This calculation is based on the transaction’s fair market value on the reporting date.  Accordingly, the VaR calculation is not a measure of the potential accounting mark-to-market loss.  The CompanyPNM utilizes the Monte Carlo simulation model of VaR.  The Monte Carlo model utilizes a random generated simulation based on historical volatility to generate portfolio values.  The quantitative risk information, however, is limited by the parameters established in creating the model.  The instruments being evaluated may trigger a potential loss in excess of calculated amounts if changes in commodity prices exceed the confidence level of the model used.  The VaR methodology employs the following critical parameters:  volatility estimates, market values of open positions, appropriate market-oriented holding periods and seasonally adjusted correlation estimates.  The Company’s VaR calculation considers the Company’sPNM’s forward position for the next eighteen months.  The CompanyPNM uses a holding period of three days as the estimate of the length of time that will be needed to liquidate the positions.  The volatility and the correlation estimates measure the impact of adverse price movements both at an individual position level as well as at the total portfolio level.  The two-tailed confidence level established is 99%.  For example, if VaR is calculated at $10.0 million, it is estimated that in 990 out of 1000 market simulations the Company’s pre-tax gain or loss in liquidating the portfolio would not exceed $10.0 million in the three days that it would take to liquidate the portfolio.

PNM Wholesale measures VaR for all transactions that are not directly asset related and have economic risk.  For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, the average VaR amount for these transactions was $1.3$0.7 million with high and low VaR amounts for the period of $2.8$1.4 million and $0.2$0.4 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions at SeptemberJune 30, 20072008 was $0.2$1.3 million.  For the threesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2006,2007, the average VaR amount for these transactions was $1.5$4.1 million with high and low VaR amounts for the period of $4.6$6.4 million and $0.5$1.8 million.  The total VaR amount for these transactions at SeptemberJune 30, 20062007 was $1.7$1.8 million.

First Choice measures the market risk of its activities using an EaR calculation to maintain PNMR’s total exposure within management-prescribed limits.  Because of its obligation to serve customers, First Choice must take certain contracts to settlement.  Accordingly, a measure that evaluates the settlement of First Choice’s positions against earnings provides management with a useful tool to manage its portfolio.  First Choice’s EaRChoice uses a held-to-maturity VaR calculation reportsto approximate EaR. The calculation utilizes the possible losses against forecasted earnings for itssame Monte Carlo simulation approach described above at a 95% confidence level and includes the retail load and supply portfolio.  This calculation is based on First Choice’sportfolios as well as all speculative trades. Management believes the VaR results are a reasonable approximation of the potential variability of earnings against forecasted earnings on the reporting date.  The Company utilizes a Delta/Gamma approximation model of EaR.  The Delta/Gamma model calculates a price change within a given time frame, correlation and volatility parameters for each price curve utilized in valuing the mark-to-market of each position to develop a change in value for any position.  This process is repeated multiple times to calculate a standard deviation, which is used to arrive at an EaR amount based on a certain confidence level.  First Choice utilizes the one-tailed confidence level at 95%.earnings.  The quantitative risk information, however, is limited by the parameters established in creating the model.  The instruments being evaluated may trigger a potential loss in excess of
95

calculated amounts if changes in commodity prices exceed the confidence level of the model used.  The EaR calculation considers the Company’s forward position for the next twelve months and holds each position to settlement.  The volatility and the correlation estimates measure the impact of adverse price movements both at an individual position level as well as at the total portfolio level.  For example, if EaR is calculated at $10.0 million, it is estimated that in 950 out of 1000 market scenarios calculated by the model the losses against the Company’s forecasted earnings over the next twelve months would not exceed $10.0 million.

For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, the average EaR amount was $14.9$22.2 million, with high and low EaR amounts for the period of $27.1$44.3 million and $5.7$12.6 million.  The total EaR amount at SeptemberJune 30, 20072008 was $18.8$15.3 million.  For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2006,2007, the average EaR amount for these transactions was $9.9$14.0 million, with high and low EaR amounts for the period of $15.1$20.5 million and $4.7$5.7 million.  The total EaR amount for these transactions at SeptemberJune 30, 20062007 was $14.9$7.3 million.

In addition, First Choice utilizes two VaR measures to manage its market risk.  The first VaR limit is based on the same total retail load and supply portfolio approach as the EaR measure; however, the VaR measure is intended to capture the effects of changes in market prices over a 10 day10-day holding period.  This holding period is considered appropriate given the nature of First Choice’s supply portfolio and the constraints faced by First Choice in the ERCOT market.  The calculation utilizes the same Monte Carlo simulation approach described above at a 95% confidence level.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $1.3$4.6 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2008.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $12.1 million, $1.6 million and $5.9 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $4.5 million at June 30, 2007.  For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $6.2 million, $1.3$2.1 million and $3.9 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $3.6 million at September 30, 2006.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $5.8 million, $1.7 million and $3.0$4.1 million.

The second VaR limit was established for First Choice transactions that are subject to mark-to-market accounting as defined by SFAS 133 and SFAS 149.  This calculation captures the effect of changes in market prices over a three-day3-day holding period and utilizes the same Monte Carlo simulation approach described above at a 95% confidence level.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $0.8less than $0.1 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2008.  For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $3.5 million, less than $0.1 million and $1.0 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $1.8 million at June 30, 2007.  For the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2007, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $4.4 million, $0.1$0.7 million and $1.6 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $2.0 million at September 30, 2006.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $2.0 million, $0.5 million and $1.0 million.

The Company's risk measures are regularly monitored by the Company's RMC.  The RMC has put in place procedures to ensure that increases in risk measures that exceed the prescribed limits are reviewed and, if deemed necessary, acted upon to reduce exposures.  As discussed in Results of Operations, First Choice experienced speculative pre-tax trading losses of $47.1 million in the first quarter of 2008. These transactions triggered exceedences of the EaR limit and the 10-day VaR limit. These occurrences resulted in numerous meetings between the RMC and First Choice management and ultimately the decision to exit the basis transactions and further  speculative trading.

The VaR and EaR limits represent an estimate of the potential gains or losses that could be recognized on the Company’s portfolios, subject to market risk, given current volatility in the market, and are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur, since actual future gains and losses will differ from those estimated.  Actual gains and losses may differ due to actual fluctuations in market prices, operating exposures, and the timing thereof, as well as changes to the underlying portfolios during the year.

Credit Risk

The Company manages credit for energy commodities on a consolidated basis and uses a credit management process to assess and monitor the financial conditions of counterparties.  Credit exposure is regularly monitored by the RMC. The RMC has put procedures in place to ensure that increases in credit risk measures that exceed the prescribed limits are reviewed and, if deemed necessary, acted upon to reduce exposures.

PNM Wholesale

The following table provides information related to PNM Wholesale’sPNMR’s credit exposure as of SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2008.  The table further delineates that exposure by the credit worthiness (credit rating) of the counterparties and provides guidance as to the concentration of credit risk to individual counterparties PNM WholesalePNMR may have.

Interest Rate Risk

First Choice

First Choice is subject to credit risk from non-performance by its supply counterparties to the extent these contracts have a mark-to-market value in the favorThe remarketing of First Choice.  The Constellation power supply agreement established FCPSP, a bankruptcy remote special purpose entity, to hold all of First Choice's customer contracts and wholesale power and gas contracts.  Constellation received a lien on accounts receivable, customer contracts, cash, and the equity of FCPSP as security for FCPSP’s performance under the power supply agreement.  The provisions of this agreement severely limit FCPSP’s ability to secure power from alternate sources.  Additionally, the terms of the security agreement do not require Constellation to post collateral for any mark-to-market balances in FCPSP’s favor.  At September 30, 2007, FCPSP was in an unfavorable mark-to-market position with Constellation.  The Constellation power supply agreement provisions will continue as long as FCPSP is purchasing power from Constellation to serve retail customers.  The existing pricing mechanism under the Constellation power supply agreement expired on December 31, 2006, and the obligations of Constellation to act as a qualified scheduling entity continue until the expiration of the agreement on December 31, 2007.  First Choice's credit exposure to other counterparties at September 30, 2007 was $6.7 million and the time period of these exposures extends through 2010.

First Choice’s retail bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $11.8 million.  A reduction in bad debt expense from retail customers is expected due to reduced customer receivables resulting partially from effective disconnect policies, increased collection activity and refined consumer credit and securitization policies.

Interest Rate Risk

PNMR’s debt issued as part of the equity-linked units sold in March and October 2005 will begin on November 7, 2008.  The maturity date may be remarketedextended in 2008.  If the remarketing is successful,and the interest rate on the debt may changewill be reset to a rate selected by thelevel designed to achieve a successful remarketing agent, and the maturity of the debt may be extended to a date selected by PNMR.notes. If the remarketing of the debt is not successful, the maturity and interest rate of the debt will not change and holders of the equity-linked units will have the option of putting their debt to PNMR to satisfy their obligations under the purchase contracts. The credit ratings of PNMR’s debt were recently downgraded and there has been an overall deterioration of the credit markets in general. Although there can be no assurance, PNMR expects thatbelieves the remarketing of the debt will be successful.

PNMR has long-term debt which subjects it to the risk of loss associated with movements in market interest rates.  The majority of PNMR’s long-term debt is fixed-rate debt, and therefore, does not expose PNMR’s earnings to a major risk of loss due to adverse changes in market interest rates.  However, the fair value of all long-term debt instruments would increase by approximately 1.3%2.0%, if interest rates were to decline by 50 basis points from their levels at SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2008.  In general, an increase in fair value would impact earnings and cash flows to the extent not recoverable in rates if PNM were to reacquire all or a portion of its debt instruments in the open market prior to their maturity.

103

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, PNM contributed cash of approximately $1.5 million and $4.6 million to the trust for other post retirement benefits. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, PNM made no contributions and $4.9 million to the NDT.  PNM made no contributions to the trusts for the pension or executive retirement plans.  The securities held by thesePNM in the NDT and in trusts for pension and other post-employment benefits had an estimated fair value of $722.0$657.5 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, of which approximately 24.4%26.6% were fixed-rate debt securities that subject PNM to risk of loss of fair value with movements in market interest rates.  If rates were to increase by 50 basis points from their levels at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, the decrease in the fair value of the fixed-rate securities would be approximately 3.6%3.3%, or $6.3$5.7 million.  PNM does not currently recover or return through rates any losses or gains on these securities.  PNM, therefore, is at risk for shortfalls in its funding of its obligations due to investment losses.  PNM does not believe that long-term market returns over the period of funding will be less than required for PNM to meet its obligations.  However, this belief is based on assumptions about future returns that are inherently uncertain.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, TNMP contributed $0.1 million and $0.4 million to the trust for other postretirement benefits for plan year 2007.  TNMP made no contributions to the trust for its pension plan.  The securities held by theTNMP in trusts for pension and other post-employment benefits had an estimated fair value of $92.5$81.2 million at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, of which approximately 23.1%21.0% were fixed-rate debt securities that subject TNMP to risk of loss of fair value with movements in market interest rates.  If rates were to increase by 50 basis points from their levels at SeptemberJune 30, 2007,2008, the decrease in the fair value of the fixed-rate securities would be approximately 4.1%4.0%, or $0.9$0.7 million.  TNMP, therefore, is at risk for shortfalls in its funding of its obligations due to investment losses.  TNMP does not believe that long-term market returns over the period of funding will be less than required for TNMP to meet its obligations.  However, this belief is based on assumptions about future returns that are inherently uncertain.

Equity Market Risk

The NDT and trusts established to fundfor PNM’s share of the decommissioning costs of PVNGS and pension and other postretirementpost-employment benefits hold certain equity securities at SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2008.  These equity securities also expose the CompanyPNM to losses in fair value.  Approximately 60.8%Equity securities comprised 56.3% of the securities held by the various trusts were equity securities as of SeptemberJune 30, 2007.  Similar to the debt securities held for funding decommissioning and certain pension and other postretirement costs,2008.  PNM does not recover or earn a return through rates on any losses or gains on these equity securities.

The trusts established to fundfor TNMP’s pension and other postretirementpost-employment benefits hold certain equity securities at September 30, 2007.securities.  These equity securities also expose the CompanyTNMP to losses in fair value.  Approximately 53.3%Equity securities comprised 50.7% of the securities held by the various trusts were equity securities as of SeptemberJune 30, 2007.2008.  TNMP does not recover or earn a return through rates on any losses or gains on these equity securities.

Alternatives Investment Risk

The Company has a target of investing 20% of its pension assets in the alternatives asset class. This includes real estate, private equity, and hedge funds. The private equity and hedge fund investments are limited partner structures that are multi-manager multi-strategy funds. This investment approach gives broad diversification and minimizes risk compared to a direct investment in any one component of the funds. The general partner oversees the selection and monitoring of the underlying managers. The Company’s Corporate Investment Committee, assisted by its investment consultant, monitors the performance of the funds and general partner’s investment process. There is risk associated with these funds due to the nature of the strategies and techniques and the use of investments that do not have readily determinable fair value.

PNMR

Disclosure of controls and procedures

PNMR maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that it is able to collect the information it is required to disclose in the reports it files with the SEC, and to process, summarize and disclose this information within the time periods specified in the rules of the SEC.  Based on an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report conducted by management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer believe that these controls and procedures are effective to ensure that PNMR meets the requirements of SEC Regulation 13A, Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e).

Changes in internal controls

The following material changes in internal controls occurred during the third quarter of 2007:

· 
Implemented a new system to assist with complex billing calculations for large industrial customers at TNMP to record billing activities for Texas market ERCOT electronic data interchange transactions and modified the related business process controls.

SeeOn June 24, 2008, NMED issued an Administrative Compliance Order against PNM for alleged violations of the New Mexico Radiation Protection Act.  The Compliance Order assesses a penalty of $121,170 against PNM for four violations relating to the disposal of instruments containing radioactive materials, including failure to perform and document physical inventory every six months to account for radioactive materials, failure to assure secure storage of radioactive material upon removal from service, failure to review radiation protection program content and implementation at least annually, and failure to use NMED-authorized persons to dispose of licensed material.  The Compliance Order requires PNM to correct all violations cited within 30 days of receipt of the Order and to pay the penalty within 45 days of receipt of the Order.  PNM implemented changes necessary to come into compliance with the Order and submitted a certification of compliance to NMED on July 21, 2008.  Compliance included payment of the full penalty.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS

Any failure to meet our debt obligations could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
As of August 4, 2008, the Company had consolidated short-term debt outstanding of $385.0 million.  In addition, as of August 4, 2008, PNMR’s subsidiaries had scheduled maturities of long-term debt aggregating $467.7 million due prior to August 4, 2009, consisting of PNM’s $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.4% senior unsecured notes due September 15, 2008 and TNMP’s $167.7 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2009.
PNMR has $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.1% senior unsecured notes due August 1, 2010.  PNMR is obligated to remarket these notes beginning November 7, 2008, and if PNMR cannot remarket the notes, the holder of the notes has the right to put the notes to us on November 16, 2008 to satisfy its obligations under the related purchase contracts to purchase PNMR equity securities from us and we will not receive the $100 million of cash we would have otherwise received for the issuance PNMR equity securities.
The Company is exploring financial alternatives to meet these obligations and currently believes that internal cash generation, credit arrangements, and access to the public and private capital markets will provide sufficient resources to meet capital requirements and retire or refinance the debt described above at maturity.  To cover the difference in the amounts and timing of cash generation and cash requirements, the Company intends to use short-term borrowings under current liquidity arrangements.
The credit ratings for the debt of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP were recently downgraded.  In some instances our credit ratings are below investment grade.  There has also been an overall deterioration of the credit markets in general.  If our cash flow and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt obligations, we may be forced to sell assets, seek additional equity or debt capital or restructure our debt.  In addition, any failure to make scheduled payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a further reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness on acceptable terms and would result in an increase in the interest rates applicable under our credit facilities.  Our cash flow and capital resources may be insufficient to pay interest and principal on our debt in the future, including payments on the notes.  If that should
100

occur, our capital raising or debt restructuring measures may be unsuccessful or inadequate to meet our scheduled debt service obligations, which could cause us to default on our obligations and further impair our liquidity.
Except as stated above, as of the date of this report, there have been no material changes with regard to the Risk Factors disclosed in PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
