In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at JuneSeptember 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 and 2007 and the consolidated cash flows for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 and 2007.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimated.  The results of operations presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations.  Readers of these financial statements should refer to PNMR’s, PNM’s and TNMP’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are included in their respective 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of each of PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include their accounts and those of subsidiaries in which that entity owns a majority voting interest.  PNMR’s primary subsidiaries are PNM, TNMP, First Choice and, through May 31, 2007, Altura.  PNM consolidates the PVNGS Capital Trust and Valencia.  See Note 16.  PNMR shared services’ administrative and general expenses, which represent costs that are primarily driven by corporate level activities, are allocated to the business segments.units.  Other significant intercompany transactions between PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include transmission and distribution services, lease payments, dividends paid on common stock, and interest paid by PVNGS Capital Trust to PNM.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  See Note 12.

Presentation

The Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include disclosures for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP.  For discussion purposes, this report will use the term “Company” when discussing matters of common applicability to PNMR, PNM and TNMP.  Discussions regarding only PNMR, PNM or TNMP will be indicated as such.  Certain amounts in the 2007 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been reclassified to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation.

Dividends on Common Stock

Dividends on PNMR’s common stock are declared by its Board.  The timing of the declaration of dividends is dependent on the timing of meetings and other actions of the Board.  This has historically resulted in dividends considered to be attributable to the second quarter of each year being declared through actions of the Board during the third quarter of the year.  The Board declared dividends on common stock considered to be for the second quarter of $0.23 per share in July 2007.  On August 11, 2008, the Board declared a dividend of2007 and $0.125 per share.  The amounts declaredshare in July 2007 and August 2008, which are reflected as being in the second quarter and included inwithin “Dividends Declared per Common Share” on the PNMR Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).  On August 12,The Board declared dividends on common stock considered to be for the third quarter of $0.23 per share in September 2007 and $0.125 per share in September 2008, which are reflected as being in the third quarter within “Dividends Declared per Common Share.”  In September 2008, PNM declaredpaid a dividend payable to PNMR amounting to $40$40.0 million.

(2)  Acquisitions and Dispositions

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.  HearingsOn August 20, 2008, the NMPRC staff, the AG, the IBEW, PNM and NMGC filed a stipulation indicating the filing parties have agreed to a resolution of the issues in the proceeding.  A hearing took place before the NMPRC in September 2008.  A schedule has been rescheduled to begin September 12, 2008.established, but the NMPRC has not announced any decisions.  Pending all approvals, a closing date for the transactionsale of PNM Gas is expected to close by the end of 2008.late in 2008 or early in 2009.

 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,market and recorded 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, a liability of $147.3 million was recorded and $29.6 million was recorded for the second contract.  During the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2007, PNMR amortized $20.0 million and $35.0 million for the first contract and nothing for the second contract.

(3)  Segment Information

The following segment presentation is based on the methodology that management uses for making operating decisions and assessing performance of its various business activities.  A reconciliation of the segment presentation to the GAAP financial statements is provided.

Effective as of December 31, 2007, management changed the methodology it uses to operate and assess the business activities of the Company as described in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.  The segment information presented below includes recasting prior period information to be consistent with the new methodology.

Effective as of December 31, 2007, management changed the methodology it uses to operate and assess the business activities of the Company as described in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.  The prior period segment information presented below has been recast to be consistent with the new methodology.

PNM Electric

PNM Electric includes the retail electric utility operations of PNM that are subject to traditional rate regulation by the NMPRC.  PNM Electric provides integrated electricity services that include the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for retail electric customers in New Mexico as well as the sale of transmission to third parties.  PNM Electric includes the generation and sale of electricity into the wholesale market.  This includes optimization of PNM’s jurisdictional assets as well as the capacity of its generating plants excluded from retail rates.   Although the FERC has jurisdiction over the wholesale rates, they are not subject to traditional rate of return regulation.  PNM Electric also includes the purchase power contract with Valencia, which is a variable interest entity and is consolidated by PNM.  See Note 16.

TNMP Electric

TNMP Electric is a regulated utility operating in Texas.  TNMP’s operations are subject to traditional rate of return regulation.  TNMP provides regulated transmission and distribution services in Texas under the TECA.

PNM Gas

PNM Gas distributes natural gas to most of the major communities in New Mexico and is subject to traditional rate regulation by the NMPRC.  The customer base of PNM Gas includes both sales-service customers and transportation-service customers.  PNM Gas purchases natural gas in the open market and resells it at cost to its sales-service customers.  As a result, increases or decreases in gas revenues resulting from gas price fluctuations do not impact gross margin or earnings.  As described in Note 2, PNM entered into an agreement to sell its gas operations on January 12, 2008.  PNM Gas is reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements and is not included in the segment information presented below.  Financial information regarding PNM Gas is presented in Note 14.

Altura

The Altura segment includes the results of Twin Oaks from the date of its acquisition by PNMR on April 18, 2006 until its contribution to EnergyCo as of June 1, 2007. See Note 2 and Note 11.

First Choice

First Choice is a certified retail electric provider operating in Texas, which allows it to provide electricity to residential, small and large commercial, industrial and institutional customers.  Although First Choice is regulated in certain respects by the PUCT, it is not subject to traditional rate of return regulation.  First Choice has also entered into speculative trading transactions in order to attempt to take advantage of market opportunities.  As explained in Note 4, First Choice has closed out its speculative positions and has ended any further speculative trading due to market volatility and the deterioration of the forward basis market.

On August 11, 2008, PNMR announced that it hashad decided to pursue strategic alternatives for First Choice.Since then, global economic conditions have deteriorated dramatically encompassing the U.S. residential housing market, and global and domestic equity and credit markets.  The tightening of the credit markets coupled with extreme volatility in commodity markets has increased the risk of executing strategic transactions in the retail sector. At this point, management has determined that retaining First Choice provides better long term value for PNMR shareholders.

(4)  Energy Related Derivative Contracts and Fair Value Disclosures

Energy Related Derivative Contracts

Overview

Under derivative accounting and related rules for energy contracts, the Company accounts for its various derivative instruments for the purchase and sale of energy based on the Company’s intent.   Energy contracts that do not qualify for the normal sales and purchases exception are recorded at fair value.   Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K contains information regarding energy related derivative contracts.  See Note 7 for additional information regarding interest rate swaps, which are fair value hedges.

For derivative transactions meeting the definition of a cash flow or fair value hedge, the Company documents the relationships between the hedging instruments and the items being hedged.  This documentation includes the strategy that supports executing the specific transaction and the methods utilized to assess the effectiveness of the hedges.  Changes in the fair value of contracts qualifying for cash flow hedge accounting are included in accumulated other comprehensive income to the extent effective.  Ineffectiveness gains and losses were immaterial for the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2008, after-tax gains of less than $0.1$8.6 million for PNMR and losses of $8.3$11.5 million for PNM would be reclassified from other comprehensive income into earnings during the next twelve months. However, the actual amount reclassified into earnings will vary due to future changes in market prices.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows is through December 31, 2010.

The contracts recorded at fair value that do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting are classified as either trading transactions or economic hedges.  Trading transactions are defined as derivative instruments that are either speculative and expose the Company to market risk or transactions that lock in margin with no forward market risk and are not economic hedges.  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, purchased power costs, and customer load requirements.  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.

Fair value is based on current market quotes as available and is supplemented by modeling techniques and assumptions made by the Company to the extent quoted market prices or volatilities are not available.  Generally,External pricing input availability varies based on commodity location, market data to value these instruments is available for up to five years for gas swapsliquidity, and electricity contracts and up to 18 months for options.  The remaining periods are referred to asterm of the illiquid period and are valued using internally developed pricing data.agreement.  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 instruments, there are inherent limitations in any estimation technique.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, SFAS 159, and FSP FIN 39-1. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined under SFAS 157 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  FSP 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, primarily

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.
  On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3 to clarify the application of SFAS 157 when a market for a financial instrument is not active.  FSP FAS 157-3 has no impact on the Company’s current methodologies for assessing fair value.

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.

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 JuneSeptember 30, 2008, amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral are $43.9$21.0 million for PNMR and $8.5$4.5 million for PNM.  In addition,The Company had no obligations to return cash collateral were $2.2 million for PNMR and none for PNM.collateral.

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 ofSince March 31, 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$7.8 million has not cash settled and represents unrealized losses on its remaining forward positions at JuneSeptember 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 the sale of these contracts of $2.9 million and $5.1 million in the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  PNM provided the buyer with a $10$10.0 million letter of credit for 18 months in connection with PNM’s representations regarding the contracts.

Sale of Power from PVNGS Unit 3

In April 2008, PNM entered into three separate contracts for the sale of capacity and energy related to its entire ownership interest in PVNGS Unit 3, which is 135 MW.  Under two of the contracts, PNM will sell 90 MW of firm capacity and energy.  Under the remaining contract, PNM will sell 45 MW of unit contingent capacity and energy. The term of the contracts is May 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010.  Under the two firm contracts, the two buyers made prepayments of $40.6 million and $30.0 million.  These amounts are recorded to a deferred revenue account and amortized over the life of the contracts.  The amount to be amortized in the next 12 months is included in other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the remainder is included in other deferred credits.  The prepayments received under the firm contracts, as well as required subsequent monthly payments on them, are shown as a financing activity in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as required by GAAP.  The firm contracts are considered energy derivatives and a loss of $4.8 million was recognized at inception.  Future changes in the fair value of theThe firm contracts will beare accounted for as cash flow hedges and changes in fair value are included in accumulated other comprehensive income.  The contingent contract is accounted for as a normal sale.

 Fair Value Disclosures

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company determines the fair market values of its instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS 157, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.  The fair values determinations at JuneSeptember 30, 2008 are as follows:

(7)  Financing

Information concerning financing activities is contained in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

Impacts of Difficulties of Financial Institutions

Recent and unprecedented disruption in the current credit markets has had a significant adverse impact on a number of financial institutions, which has resulted in certain institutions being restructured or formulating plans to be acquired by other financial institutions.  This includes some financial institutions that are lenders under the PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility, which are described below and in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, as well as the Term Loan Agreement described below.  Other than as described below, this has not impacted these credit agreements to date and the Company does not anticipate it will have a significant impact on the PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility, which expire in 2012, or the Term Loan Agreement over their respective terms.

LBB was a lender under the PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility.  LBH, the parent of LBB, has filed for bankruptcy protection.  Subsequent to the bankruptcy filing by LBH, LBB declined to fund a borrowing request under the PNMR Facility amounting to $5.3 million. The PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility agreements contain procedures for substituting another financial institution to take the place of any lender who defaults under the agreements.  A replacement bank has taken the place of LBB under the PNM Facility, but as of October 30, 2008, no arrangement has been made to replace LBB under the PNMR Facility.  LBB’s commitment amounts to 5.33% of the PNMR Facility.  PNMR does not believe the LBH bankruptcy will have a significant impact on the liquidity provided by the PNMR Facility.

LBCS, another subsidiary of LBH, has also declared bankruptcy and was a counterparty to various energy transactions with First Choice and EnergyCo.  First Choice had no receivables from LBCS, but as a result of the bankruptcy, First Choice terminated these contracts effective September 24, 2008 and recognized a $3.9 million loss as settled purchase power contracts.  The $3.9 million loss consisted of $2.2 million previously recorded in earnings as unrealized losses on economic hedges and $1.7 million of power purchases under normal contracts not previously recorded in earnings. These power supply contracts have since been replaced with other counterparties and are expected to substantially offset the $3.9 million loss in future months.  EnergyCo did have a receivable from LBCS, which was written off at September 30, 2008.  PNMR’s equity share of the write off was $0.6 million.  The

bankruptcy of LBCS is not expected to have a significant impact on future operations of the Company.

Financing Activities

On March 7, 2008, TNMP entered into a $150 million short-term bank loan agreement with two lenders.  TNMP borrowed $150 million under this agreement on April 9, 2008 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.  The $150 million borrowing under this agreement was repaid in October 2008, through borrowing $150 million under the TNMP Facility described under Short-term Debt below.

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.Term Loan Agreement.  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 under the Term Loan Agreement must be repaid and remaining commitments for borrowings would be terminated.  No borrowings have been made under the Term Loan Agreement.

 
On May 8, 2008, PNM entered into a $100 million unsecured letter of credit facility pursuant to a reimbursement agreement (as amended, the “Reimbursement Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank AG and Royal Bank of Canada, as lenders.  The Reimbursement Agreement allows PNM to obtain, from time to time, standby letters of credit up to the aggregate amount of $100 million at any time prior to April 30, 2009.  The letter of credit and commitment fees will vary depending upon the then-current senior unsecured debt credit rating for PNM.  The Reimbursement Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes, including supporting margin requirements

under hedging agreements.  Letter of credit issuances under the Reimbursement Agreement are conditioned on the ability of PNM to make certain customary representations.  The Reimbursement 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.  No letters of credit have been issued under this arrangement.
 
On May 16,13, 2008, PNM issued $350 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes. The notes pay interest semi-annually at a rate of 7.95% per year, payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning November 15, 2008, and mature on May 15, 2018.
On October 31, 2008, TNMP entered into a $100 million term loan credit agreement with two lenders (the “TNMP Bridge Facility”) to provide an additional source of funds that would be available in order to repay TNMP’s $167.7 million of senior unsecured notes that mature January 15, 2009.  The TNMP Bridge Facility allows for other lenders to be added to bring the total amount up to a maximum of $150 million and TNMP is in discussions with several other potential lenders to obtain commitments to fill out the facility.  The TNMP Bridge Facility provides for

a single draw of funds after January 1, 2009 and through January 15, 2009 solely for the purpose of repaying TNMP’s senior unsecured notes maturing January 15, 2009.  Any amount drawn will be due March 30, 2009 and the facility will expire if funds are not drawn by January 15, 2009.  In the event the facility is not expanded to $150 million, there is no obligation for the lenders to fund unless PNMR agrees to provide funds to bring the total to $150 million.  The TNMP Bridge Facility includes customary covenants, including requirements to maintain a maximum consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio.
PNM had $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes that matured in September 2008.  PNM repaid these notes by utilizing cash on hand and borrowing $240.0 million under the PNM Facility.

(9)  Commitments and Contingencies

Overview

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 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, 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 Environment

Renewable Portfolio Standard

The Renewable Energy Act of 2004 was enacted to encourage the development of renewable energy in New Mexico.  The 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 NMPRC requires renewable energy portfolios to be “fully diversified” beginning in 2011 when no less than 20% of the renewable portfolio requirement must be met by wind energy, no less than 20% by solar energy, no less than 10% by other renewable technologies, and no less than 1.5% by distributed generation. 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. The NMPRC has established a reasonable

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 procurement 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 withto seek approval of any new projects that result for thefrom 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.energy in general.  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.  Protests to PNM’s procurement plan filed with the NMPRC assert that the plan should offer larger incentives for PV systems and that the incentives should be “front-loaded.” A hearing on PNM’s procurement plan was held on October 29, 2008 and an order on PNM’s filing is anticipated by year-end 2008.

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 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 particulates be done for each of the four units at SJGS.  PNM 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 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 a 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 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 entered by the court approving the settlement on December 27, 2006.

The consent 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.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, PNM’s share of the total amount of stipulated penalties is $3.2was $3.4 million of which $3.0$3.2 million had been deposited into the escrow 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.

Four Corners Federal Implementation Plan Litigation

On April 30, 2007, the EPA adopted a source specific FIP to set air quality standards at Four Corners.  The FIP essentially federalizes the requirements contained in the New Mexico State Implementation Plan, which Four Corners has historically followed.  The FIP also includes a requirement to maintain and enhance dust suppression methods.  On July 2, 2007, APS, the plant operator, filed a petition for review in the U.S. District Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit seeking revisions to the FIP to clarify certain requirements and allow operational flexibility.  The Sierra Club has intervened in this action.  On July 6, 2007, the Sierra Club and other parties filed a petition for review with the same court challenging the FIP’s compliance with the Clean Air Act and APS has intervened in their action.  In APS’ lawsuit, APS challenges two key provisions of the FIP:  a 20% opacity limit on certain fugitive dust emissions, which the EPA filed a motion to remand and vacate in early December 2007, and a 20% stack opacity limit on Units 4 and 5.  Briefing in this case is now complete and oral argument occurred in May 2008.  APS anticipates that the court will issue its opinion before the end of 2008.  Although the Company cannot predict the outcome or the timing of these matters, the Company does not believe that they will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash 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

the well and the remediation facilities called for under the latest amended Settlement Agreement.  The well continues to operate and meets federal drinking water standards.  PNM is not able to assess the duration of this project.

PNM has been verbally informed that the Superfund Oversight Section of the NMED is conducting an investigation into the chlorinated solvent contamination in the vicinity of the site of the former Santa Fe Generating Station.  The investigation will study possible sources for the chlorinated solvents in the groundwater.  In December 2007, PNM provided certain groundwater data at the request of the NMED.  The NMED investigation is ongoing.

Coal Combustion Waste Disposal

SJCC currently disposes of coal combustion products consisting of fly ash, bottom ash, and gypsum from SJGS in the surface mine pits adjacent to the plant.  The Office of Surface Mining is in the process of developing revisions to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act (“SMCRA”) Title IV and V that would specifically address the placement of coal combustion products (“CCP’s”CCPs”) in surface mines.  PNM understands that these revisions do not represent a major overhaul of the SMCRA regulations and will continue to support the mine placement of CCP’s.CCPs.  PNM expectsdoes not expect the proposed regulations to be published bybefore the end of summer  2008.

EPA is currently working on a Notice of Data Availability (“NODA”) on the placement of CCP’sCCPs in surface

impoundments and landfill.  The NODA allows additional data and information to be collected and could cause EPA to revisit its current regulations on the disposal of CCP’sCCPs in surface impoundments or landfill.  PNM cannot predict the outcome of this matter but does not believe currently that it will have a material adverse impact on its results of operations or financial position, because the majority of the CCP’sCCPs from SJGS are placed in the mine and not surface impoundments or landfills.

In June, the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources conducted an oversight hearing on how the federal government should address the health and environmental risks of coal combustion wastes.CCPs.  This is the first of a number of hearings the subcommittee will hold.  PNM cannot predict the outcome of these hearings but does not believe additional regulations will result.

Gila River Indian Reservation Superfund Site

By letter dated April 25, 2008, the EPA informed PNM that it may be a PRP in the Gila River Indian Reservation Superfund Site in Maricopa County, Arizona.  PNM, along with SRP, APS and EPE, owns a parcel of property on which a transmission pole and a portion of a transmission line are located.  The property abuts the Gila River Indian Community boundary and, at one time, may have been part of an airfield where crop dusting took place.  Currently, the EPA is only seeking payment from PNM and other PRPs for past cleanup-related costs involving contamination from the crop dusting.  Based upon the total amount of cleanup costs reported by the EPA in its letter to PNM, the resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material adverse impact on PNM’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other Commitments and Contingencies

PVNGS Liability and Insurance Matters

The PVNGS participants have insurance 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 million and the balance by an industry-wide retrospective assessment program.  If losses at any nuclear power plant covered by the program exceed the accumulated funds, PNM could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments.  The maximum assessment per reactor under the program for each nuclear incident is $100.6$117.5 million, subject to an annual limit of $15.0$17.5 million per incident, to be periodically adjusted for inflation.  Based on PNM’s 10.2% interest in the three PVNGS units, PNM’s maximum

potential assessment per incident for all three units is $30.8$36.0 million, with an annual payment limitation of $4.6$5.4 million.

The PVNGS participants maintain “all risk” (including nuclear hazards) insurance for property damage to, and decontamination of, property at PVNGS in the aggregate amount of $2.75 billion, a substantial portion of which must first be applied to stabilization and decontamination.  The participants have also secured insurance against portions of any increased cost of generation or purchased power and business interruption resulting from a sudden and unforeseen accidental outage of any of the three units.  The property damage, decontamination, and replacement power coverages are provided by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited (“NEIL”).  PNM is subject to retrospective assessments under all NEIL policies if NEIL’s losses in any policy year exceed accumulated funds.  The maximum amount of retrospective assessments PNM could incur under the current NEIL policies totals $7.4$7.3 million.  The insurance coverage discussed in this and the previous paragraph is subject to policy conditions and exclusions.

NRC Matters

In October 2006, the NRC conducted an inspection of the PVNGS emergency diesel generators after a PVNGS Unit 3 generator started but did not provide electrical output during routine inspections on July 25 and September 22, 2006.  On February 22, 2007, the NRC issued a “white” finding (low to moderate safety significance) for this matter.  Under the NRC’s Action Matrix, this finding, coupled with a previous NRC “yellow” finding

relating to a 2004 matter involving PVNGS’ safety injection systems, resulted in PVNGS Unit 3 being placed in the “multiple/repetitive degraded cornerstone” column of the NRC’s Action Matrix (“Column 4”), which has resulted in an enhanced NRC inspection regime.  Although only PVNGS Unit 3 is in NRC’s Column 4, in order to adequately assess the need for improvements, APS management has been conducting site-wide assessments of equipment and operations.

Preliminary work in support of the NRC’s enhanced inspection regime took place throughout the summer of 2007.  On June 21, 2007, the NRC issued an initial confirmatory action letter confirming APS’ commitments regarding specific actions APS will take to improve PVNGS’ 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 dated 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 the 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 procedure.  On March 31, 2008, APS submitted to the NRC a revision to its improvement plan to address issues raised by the NRC in 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.

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.  SJCC has reached settlement with several gas leaseholders and has other potential claimants.  PNM cannot predict the outcome of any future disputes between SJCC and 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 matter is currently pending before the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on appeal by the Federal government and cross-appeal by the Plaintiffs.  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 of 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, 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.  The Ninth Circuit issued an order initially declaring a 45-day time-out period to allow parties the opportunity to assess the recent court decisions and the potential for settlement of cases.  The Ninth Circuit has 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.  Representatives of PNM continue to attend and participate in the mediation and case management sessions being hosted by the Ninth Circuit.  The most recent one was held in September 2008.  In AugustDecember 2007, the Ninth Circuit further extended the time-out period for settlement discussions to continue until November 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,As a result of the Ninth Circuit issuedissuance of the mandate in the Lockyer v. FERC case, andthe case was 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 FERC alleging that spot market prices in the Pacific Northwest wholesale electric market were unjust and unreasonable.  In 2003, FERC issued an order recommending that no refunds should be ordered.  Several parties in the proceeding filed requests for rehearing and 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 FERC, PNM also participated in the appeal proceedings.  Oral argument in the case was held in January 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.

FERC Gaming Partnerships Order

In 2003, in the Gaming Partnerships Order, FERC asserted that certain entities, including PNM, acted in concert with Enron Corporation and other market participants to engage in activities that constitute gaming and/or anomalous market behavior in violation of the Cal ISO and Cal PX tariffs during 2000 and 2001.  In 2003, PNM filed its responses to the Gaming Partnerships Order indicating that it did not engage in the alleged partnerships, alliances or other arrangements.

In 2004, 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.  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.  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 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, FERC issued its order granting the staff’s motion to dismiss PNM from the Gaming Partnerships docket.  In its order, 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.  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 FERC objecting to 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, FERC issued an order approving the joint offer of settlement.  Various parties 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 November 2007, FERC staff initiated a settlement proceeding designed to determine how the proceeds from the penalty amounts that have been and will be paid should be allocated among participants in the Cal PX and Cal ISO markets (Phase II Distribution proceedings).  PNM has participated in several settlement conferences regarding proposed allocations of these funds.  In August 2008, an allocation settlement was reached and filed at FERC.  PNM is a signatory to the settlement and would receive an allocated share of the penalty amounts.  In September 2008, the Northern California Power Authority (“NCPA”) filed an objection to the settlement at FERC.  PNM joined a group of sellers and filed an answer to NCPA’s objection, as did other parties to the settlement.  The allocation settlement process is still ongoing.now pending before FERC.  PNM cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this proceeding.

California Power Exchange and Pacific Gas and Electric Bankruptcies

In 2001, SCE and the major purchasers of power from the Cal ISO and Cal PX defaulted on payments due to the Cal ISO for power purchased from the Cal PX in 2000.  These defaults caused the Cal PX to seek bankruptcy protection.  PG&E subsequently also sought bankruptcy protection.  PNM has filed its proofs of claims in the Cal PX and PG&E bankruptcy proceedings.  Amounts due to PNM from the Cal ISO or Cal PX for power sold to them in 2000 and 2001 total $7.9 million.  Both the PG&E and Cal PX bankruptcy cases have confirmed plans of reorganization in which the claims of various creditors have been specially classified and are waiting a final determination by FERC before the claims are actually paid.  The PG&E bankruptcy case has an escrow account and the Cal PX bankruptcy has established a settlement account, both of which are awaiting final determination by FERC setting the level of claims and allocating the funds.

California Attorney General Complaint

In 2002, the California Attorney General filed a complaint with 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, 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 FERC violated its administrative discretion by declining to investigate whether it should order refunds from sellers who failed to provide transaction-specific reports to FERC as required by its rules. The Ninth Circuit determined that FERC has the authority to order refunds for these transactions if it elects to do so and remanded the case back to 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.  In 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.

Upon remand to FERC, numerous parties filed motions at FERC regarding the appropriate procedures to occur on remand for the disposition of the case.  In March 2008, FERC issued its order on remand indicating that it will establish trial type hearings to determine if specific Sellers’sellers’ violation of FERC’s quarterly reporting requirements led to an unjust and unreasonable rate for these Sellerssellers in Cal ISO and Cal Px markets during the 2000-2001 time period.  The order required sellers to submit revised quarterly reports to FERC for review.  PNM filed its quarterly sales transaction reports per FERC’s order.  The order also established settlement procedures for the matters.  In April 2008, FERC issued a clarification order in which it clarified certain matters in the remand order. An initial settlement conference in the remand proceedings was held in April 2008.  PNM  has participated in these settlement proceedings. SeveralSubsequently, several parties filed petitions for rehearing of FERC’s order.orders. PNM participated with the other members of the Competitive Sellers Group to respond to the petitionpetitions for rehearing.  In September 2008, FERC staff issued its preliminary analysis indicated they had reviewed the quarterly transaction reports filed by the sellers and made preliminary conclusions.  Specifically as to PNM, the FERC staff determined that PNM had no violations in its quarterly report filings.  The petitions forCalifornia parties then made a filing at FERC in which they claimed FERC staff made use of the wrong standard in completing their review, and as such, came to the wrong conclusions.  FERC then issued its order on rehearing are currently pending before FERC.in October 2008 in which it affirmed its view of reviewing the nexus between reporting violations and the ability to mask the existence of market power in their sales transactions.  Subsequently, in October 2008, the California parties filed an appeal of these FERC orders to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.  The Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the FERC proceeding, on remand, or whether PNM will be ultimately directed to make any additional refunds as the result of the decision.

California Antitrust Litigation

In May 2005, the California Attorney General filed a lawsuit in California state court against PNM, PowerEx, and the Colorado River Commission alleging that PNM and PowerEx conspired to engage in unfair trade practices involving overcharges for electricity in violation of California state antitrust laws.  In June 2005, the lawsuit was removed to Federal Court.  In April 2006, the Federal District Court issued its decision denying the California Attorney General’s motion to remand the case back to the state court, and granted PNM’s and PowerEx’s motions to dismiss the case.  The California Attorney General has appealed the case to the Ninth Circuit.  Briefs were filed in

the case by the parties, and oral argument was held in March 2008.  In April 2008, by memorandum opinion, the Ninth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s dismissal of the complaint.  No petition for rehearing of the decision was filed by the California Attorney General.  As such, the Ninth Circuit’s decision became final and the case is now over as to PNM.

Regional Transmission Issues

In September 2005, FERC issued a NOI 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 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, 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-A.  FERC did not specifically rule on the 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 cannot predict the outcome of the final rule.

The Company’s transmission group  As of October 15, 2008, the Company has completed the numerous FERC compliance filings required by Order 890.  On May 30, 2007, the Company posted its initial compliance filing and its transmission planning proposal on its website.  PNM will continue making the required compliance filings and will participate in FERC’s technical conferences regarding Order 890 reliability standards.

Biomass Project

PNM entered into a 20-year contract for the purchase of 32 MW of capacity from a renewable biomass power generation facility in central New Mexico that was scheduled to commence in 2009.  The purchase power agreement iswas contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent as outlined in the purchase power agreement.  The contract containscontained several conditions 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 event of default letter to the biomass project owner.  The operator declared a force majeure over failure to obtain an 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.  The project owner’s application was initially denied, 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

Valencia
    On April 18, 2007, PNM entered into a power purchase agreementmatter to purchase all ofarbitration within the electric capacity and energy from Valencia, a natural gas-fired power plant near Albuquerque, New Mexico.  A third-party built, owns and operates the facility while PNM will be the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. The Valencia facility began commercial operation on May 30, 2008.  For financial accounting purposes PNM consolidates the plant under FIN 46R since it absorbs the majority of the variabilitytime period specified 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 review requesting the NMPRC investigate the PPA and related transactions relating to Valencia 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 orderedagreement.  PNM to respond to the petition so that the NMPRC could ascertain PNM’s position on the matters raised before proceeding further with processing the 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’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.

PNMR

Price-to-Beat Base Rate Reset

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 First Choice have intervened and will defend the PUCT’s Final Order approving the NUS.

First Choice Request for ERCOT Alternative Dispute Resolution

On June 30, 2008, First Choice filed a request for alternative dispute resolution with ERCOT alleging that ERCOT incorrectly applied its protocols with respect to congestion management during the first quarter of 2008.  First Choice requests that ERCOT resolve the dispute by restating certain elements of its first quarter 2008

congestion management data and by refunding to First Choice allegedly overstated congestion management charges.  The amount at issue in First Choice’s claim can only be determined by running ERCOT market models with corrected inputs but First Choice believes that the amount is significant.  ERCOT protocols provide that ERCOT will notify potentially impacted market participants and subsequently consider the merits of First Choice’s allegations.  The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

PNM

Gas Rate Case

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, 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, 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 $0.2 million.  The request was designed to provide PNM’s gas utility an opportunity to earn an 11%11 percent 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.  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%9.53 percent 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 appeals with the New Mexico Supreme 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.  The Supreme Court has scheduled oral argument for September 16, 2008.On August 20, 2008, a stipulation intended to resolve all issues in the NMPRC case relating to PNM’s gas assets sale and service abandonment was filed by PNM, the AG, the NMPRC staff, the IBEW, and NMGC.  As part of that stipulation, upon approval by the NMPRC, PNM and the AG will move to dismiss their respective gas rate case appeals. PNM is unable to predict whether the stipulation will be approved and, if it is not approved, the outcome of these appeals.

2007 Electric Rate Case

On February 21, 2007, PNM filed a general electric rate case requesting the NMPRC approve an increase in service fees to all of PNM’s retail customers except those formerly served by TNMP.  The request was designed to provide PNM’s electric utility an opportunity to earn a 10.75%10.75 percent return on equity.  The application also requested authorization to implement a FPPAC 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 April

24, 2008, the NMPRC issued a final order in the case that resulted in a revenue increase of $34.4 million.  The rate increase provides for a 10.1%10.1percent 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 balance sheet will be recoverable through future rates charged to 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 $10.6 million for deferred REC costs.  PNM is evaluating whether it will be successful in meeting the criteria set forth by the NMPRC.  PNM has appealed the NMPRC’s treatment of coal mine decommissioning and the RECs to the New Mexico Supreme Court.  The AG has moved to intervene.  ToIf the extentappeal is successful or if PNM is successful in demonstrating that these costs are recoverable through future rate proceedings, the costs will be restored to PNM’s balance sheet. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

Emergency FPPAC

On March 20, 2008, PNM and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local No. 611,IBEW, 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 and the New Mexico Industrial Energy Consumers Inc. filed annotices of appeal on August 1, 2008.to the New Mexico Supreme Court, which seek to have vacated the NMPRC order approving the Emergency FPPAC. The appeals have been consolidated and PNM has been granted party status.  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.  PNM’s complaint also alleges that SPS’ demand charge rates for interruptible power sales are excessive and requested that 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 certain limited issues in the complaint proceeding, as well as in the SPS rate case.  On October 10, 2006, interested parties and FERC staff 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 staff.  On October 19, 2006, PNM, SPS and FERC staff 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 FERC for final approval.  The limited settlement must be approved by 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 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, 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 the final outcome of the case at FERC.these appeals.

Gas Utility Assets Sale and Service Abandonment
Sky Blue Investigation

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 MarchJuly 17, 2008, PNM and NMGC filed a joint motion to consolidate the applications before the NMPRC.  By order dated March 27, 2008, the NMPRC consolidatedissued an order that initiated an investigation into whether the two applications into one docket and appointed a hearing examiner inaddition of the case to hear the case.  Discovery has commenced in the case.  The Company filed testimony withfuel adjustment surcharge, approved by the NMPRC in March 2008 for approvals required for the sale of its gas utility servicePNM’s Emergency FPPAC proceeding, to PNM’s voluntary renewable energy program known as “Sky Blue” is just and for transition services to be provided to NMGC.reasonable.

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 end of 2008.this proceeding.

Investigation Into Executive Compensation
2008 Electric Rate Case

On DecemberSeptember 22, 2008, PNM filed a general rate case requesting the NMPRC to approve an increase in electric service rates to all PNM retail customers except those formerly served by TNMP. The proposed rates are designed to increase annual operating revenue by $123.3 million, based on a March 31, 2008 test period and calculating base fuel costs using a projection of costs for the 12 months ending March 31, 2009. PNM has also proposed a FPPAC in the general form authorized by the NMPRC, but with PNM retaining 25% of off-system sales margins and crediting 75% against fuel and purchased power costs. On September 30, 2008, the NMPRC ordered that PNM‘s proposed rates be suspended for a period of nine months from October 22, 2008 and appointed a hearing examiner to conduct a hearing and otherwise preside over the case. PNM is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding.

In anticipation of the 2008 electric rate case, on September 10, 2008, a stipulation (the “Resource Stipulation”) executed by PNM, the NMPRC staff, the AG and the Coalition for Clean Affordable Energy, and later joined by the New Mexico Industrial Energy Consumers Inc., was filed with the NMPRC. If approved by the NMPRC, the Resource Stipulation would resolve all issues in the proceedings regarding Valencia, PNM’s proposed acquisition of an ownership interest in Unit 2 of PVNGS currently being leased, the application to own and operate Lordsburg and its interest in Luna as NMPRC jurisdictional assets and to recover their costs in retail rates. As to Valencia, the Resource Stipulation provides that upon its approval by the NMPRC costs incurred under the Valencia PPA would be recovered through PNM’s Emergency FPPAC until new base rates go into effect as a result of PNM’s 2008 electric rate case.  The Resource Stipulation further provides that PNM will seek prior NMPRC approval of future long-term PPAs. The NMPRC has approved consolidating these three proceedings for the purpose of considering approval of the Resource Stipulation and to expedite such consideration.  Hearings are scheduled to begin on March 30, 2009. The Company is unable to predict whether the NMPRC will approve the Resource Stipulation or the ultimate outcome of these proceedings if it does not.

Additional information concerning these proceedings is discussed below.

Valencia

On April 18, 2007, PNM entered into a PPA to purchase all of the electric capacity and energy from Valencia, a natural gas-fired power plant near Albuquerque, New Mexico.  An unaffiliated entity built, owns and operates the facility while PNM will be the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. The Valencia facility began commercial operation on May 30, 2008.  For financial accounting purposes PNM consolidates the plant under FIN 46R since PNM absorbs 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 review requesting the NMPRC investigate the Valencia PPA and related transactions to determine, among other things, whether the transactions were prudent, appropriate and consistent with NMPRC rules, and to establish the ratemaking treatment of the PPA.  In its response to the petition, 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 and AG’s request for determination of the ratemaking treatment for the agreement.  On November 6, 2007, the NMPRC issued an order, docketing an investigationwhich appointed a hearing examiner and directed her to consider the issues raised in the petition and the response, including whether PNM’s actions in entering into whether the level of compensation paidPPA and in reporting that transaction to executives by investor-owned New Mexico utilities is reasonablethe NMPRC were consistent with statute 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.NMPRC rules.

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 commencedThe Resource Stipulation states that PNM’s allocated share of the acquisition cost, less depreciation and accumulated deferred income taxes through August 31, 2008, shall be added to rate base and recovered in rates to be established in PNM’s 2008 electric rate case.  The lease shall be collapsed for ratemaking purposes and the rent portion of the lease payment that would otherwise have flowed to PNM shall be removed from rates.  The Resource Stipulation also allows approximately $4.3 million of carrying charges incurred from July 1, 2008 to be included in rates set in the proceeding and the Company has been responding to discovery requests made by NMPRC staff and intervenors in the2008 electric rate 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 this proceeding at this time.

In April 2008, PNM also filed an application at FERC seeking FERC approval of the proposed acquisition of the PVNGS Unit 2 interest.  FERC established a comment date in early May 2008, and no comments or interventions were filed in the docket.  On June 30, 2008, FERC issued its order approving the transfer of the PVNGS Unit 2 interest to PNM.

Luna and Lordsburg

On September 12, 2008, PNM filed an application to include in jurisdictional rates its one-third ownership share of Luna and its ownership of Lordsburg.  Luna consists of a gas-fired combined cycle station with a total capacity of 570 MW located in Luna County, New Mexico.  The plant was constructed in 2005-2006 and achieved commercial operation in 2006.  Lordsburg is a peaking generator located in Hidalgo County, New Mexico and has a total generation capacity of 80 MW.  Lordsburg was constructed and achieved commercial operation in 2002.  Currently, PNM holds its ownership share of Luna and Lordsburg as merchant plant assets, which are not included in jurisdictional rates.  The Resource Stipulation approves the inclusion of Luna and Lordsburg costs in base rates to be set in PNM’s 2008 electric rate case at the net book value less accumulated deferred income taxes as of August 31, 2008.  

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.  PNM’s complaint also alleges that SPS’ demand charge rates for interruptible power sales are excessive and requested that 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 certain limited issues in the complaint proceeding, as well as in the SPS rate case.  On October 10, 2006, interested parties and FERC staff 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 staff.  On October 19, 2006, PNM, SPS and FERC staff 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 FERC for final approval.  The limited settlement must be approved by 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 September 2008, FERC issued its order approving the settlement between PNM and SPS.

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 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, 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. PNM filed a petition for rehearing of FERC’s order, as did other entities, including SPS, which are still pending before FERC.  PNM cannot predict the final 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 August 20, 2008, the NMPRC staff, the AG, the IBEW, PNM and NMGC filed a stipulation indicating the filing parties have agreed to a resolution of the issues in the proceeding.  A hearing took place before the NMPRC in September 2008.  A schedule has been established, but the NMPRC has not announced any decisions.  Pending all approvals, a closing date for the sale of PNM Gas is expected late in 2008 or early in 2009.  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.  No further proceedings have been scheduled at this time.

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 could continue at least through November 2008.  A revised rule is expected to be approved by mid-year 2009.

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.

TNMP

TNMP True-Up Proceeding

The purpose of the true-up proceeding was to quantify and reconcile the amount of stranded costs that TNMP may recover from its transmission and distribution customers.  A 2004 PUCT decision established $87.3 million as TNMP’s stranded costs andcosts.  As discussed below, the Texas Supreme Court has requested response to those filings.is considering reviewing this decision.

In July 2005, the PUCT issued a final order confirming the calculation of carrying costs and the amount of stranded costs allowed for recovery. TNMP and other parties appealed the July PUCT order. On July 24, 2006, the district court in Austin, Texas affirmed the PUCT order. TNMP appealed that decision to the Texas Third Court of Appeals in Austin, Texas.  On January 31, 2008, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court and PUCT decisions.  TNMP and other parties have filed a request with the Texas Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeals decision. The Texas Supreme Court is still considering the petitions for review filed by various parties. Briefs were filed on October 22, 2008 and reply briefs are due in November 2008. TNMP is unable to predict if the Texas Supreme Court will review the decision or the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Interest Rate for Calculating Carrying Charges on TNMP’s Stranded Cost

The PUCT approved an amendment to the true-up rule at its June 29, 2006 open meeting. The amendment will result in a lower interest rate that TNMP is allowed to collect on the unsecuritized true-up balance through a CTC. The PUCT concluded that the correct rate at which a utility should accrue carrying costs through a CTC is the weighted average of an adjusted form of its marginal cost of debt and its unadjusted historical cost of debt, with the weighting based on the utility’s most recently authorized capital structure.  The new rate will affect TNMP by lowering the previously approved carrying cost rate of 10.93%. This change in carrying charges will affect the rates set in TNMP’s stranded cost filing. The rule went into effect on July 20, 2006, and TNMP made its compliance filing.  Because the PUCT staff disagreed with TNMP’s calculation of the carrying cost rate, the matter was referred to SOAH for a hearing on the merits. The parties filed and submitted testimony.  Initial briefs were filed on April 6, 2007 with reply briefs filed on April 16, 2007.  On June 18, 2007, the ALJ issued a proposed order approving a

carrying cost rate of 8.06%. As this calculation differs from TNMP’s methodology and result, TNMP filed exceptions on July 2, 2007.  At the July 20, 2007 open meeting, the PUCT unanimously rejected the proposed order regarding the calculation of TNMP’s on-going carrying cost rate for the CTC. The PUCT approved the 8.31% rate proposed by TNMP and the PUCT staff.  The PUCT issued a final order. Various municipal intervenors (“Cities”) appealed the PUCT’s order to the District Court in Austin, Texas. TNMP intervened to defend the PUCT’s decision. The parties filed briefs and the District Court heard the matter on July 11, 2008. The District Court affirmed the PUCT’s decision. The District Court’s decision was appealed to the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals by Cities. Cities’ appellant’s brief was filed on September 22, 2008. TNMP madeand the PUCT filed responsive briefs on October 22, 2008. TNMP has requested an oral hearing, which has not been scheduled.  TNMP is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Following the revision of the interest rate on TNMP’s carrying charge, TNMP filed a compliance tariff to implement the new 8.31% rate. TNMP’s filing proposed to put the new rates that were to go into effect on February 1, 2008.

Intervenors have asserted objections to the compliance filing and those objections are pending at the PUCT.filing.  PUCT staff urgesurged that the PUCT make the new rate effective as of December 27, 2007 when the PUCT’s order establishing the correct rate became final.  In response to intervenors, the ALJ has suspended TNMP’s February 1, 2008 rate implementation pending a hearing.  Following a hearing, the ALJ issued a proposal for decision on September 12, 2008 finding that the rate should be implemented as of December 27, 2007. The hearing has been completedproposal for decision was submitted to the PUCT. At the October 8, 2008 meeting, the PUCT commissioners orally indicated that the effective date should be retroactive to July 20, 2006. The PUCT issued a written order on October 22, 2008.  TNMP will file its request for rehearing within the specified 20 days and if unsuccessful in the parties are awaiting a recommended decision fromrehearing process will appeal the ALJ.ruling through the court system.  While there is inherent uncertainty in this type of proceeding, TNMP believes it will ultimately be successful in overturning any ruling that the effective date should be prior to December 27, 2007.

60-Day Rate Review

In November 2005, TNMP made its required 60-day rate review filing.  TNMP’s case establishes a CTC for recovery of the true-up balance.  As noted above, TNMP’s 60-day rate review, along with First Choice’s price-to-beat rate reset filing, were consolidated.  See “Price-To-Beat Base Rate Reset” above for further updates.above.  On November 2, 2006, the PUCT issued a signedan order which would allow TNMP to begin collecting its true-up balance, which includes carrying charges, over a 14 year period.  The order also allows TNMP to collect expenses associated with several cases over a three-year period.  The PUCT allowed TNMP to begin collecting its CTC and its rate case expenses on December 1, 2006.  In January 2007, this proceeding was appealed by various Texas cities to the district court in Austin, Texas.  TNMP and First Choice have intervened and will defend the PUCT’s Final Order in this proceeding.

2008 Rate Case

On August 29, 2008, TNMP filed with the PUCT for an $8.7 million increase in revenues.  If approved, new rates would go into effect in September 2009.  In its request, TNMP also asked for permission to implement a catastrophe reserve fund similar to those approved for other transmission and distribution companies in Texas. Catastrophe funds help pay for a utility system’s recovery from natural disasters and acts of terrorism.  Once the rate case is finalized by the PUCT, TNMP may update its transmission rates annually to reflect changes in its invested capital.  Updated rates would reflect the addition and retirement of transmission facilities, including appropriate depreciation, federal income tax and other associated taxes, and the approved rate of return on such facilities. On October 10, 2008, the PUCT issued a preliminary order permitting TNMP to file supplemental testimony on costs caused by Hurricane Ike. These costs may be included in rates or captured as a regulatory asset for review and approval in a subsequent proceeding. TNMP is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

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.

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 derivative 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 requirements of SFAS 161 and will implement the required disclosures no later than January 1, 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.

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 has inventory of emissions allowances from the purchase of the Altura Cogen plant and contribution of the Twin Oaks plant.  As of September 30, 2008, EnergyCo recorded a pre-tax write off of $31.7 million for all inventory under the CAIR program.  EnergyCo has $117.6 million in inventory for other emission allowances not related to the CAIR program.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2008, the basis difference adjustment detailed above relates mainly to contract amortization with insignificant offsets related to the other minor basis difference components.

PNM’s cost-of-gas revenues collected from sales-service customers are recovered in accordance with NMPRC regulations through the PGAC and represent a pass-through of the cost of natural gas to the customer.  The NMPRC has approved an agreement regarding the hedging strategy of PNM and the implementation of a price management fund program which includes a continuous monthly balancing account with a carrying charge.  This carrying charge has the effect of keeping

PNM whole on purchases of gas since it is compensated for the time value of money that exists due to any delay in collections from customers.

    PNMGas 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 recovered through the PGAC with no income statement effect.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2008, PNM Gas had $1.7$14.5 million of current assets, including $14.1 million related to the PGAC that is recorded as a regulatory asset, and $14.1 million of 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2008, substantially all PNM Gas derivativesderivative assets, exclusive of the PGAC regulatory asset, were valued using Level 2 inputs and $2.4 million of the derivative liabilities were valued using Level 2 inputs and $11.7 million were valued using Level 3 inputs as defined in SFAS 157.

(15)  Business Improvement Plan
 
As discussed in Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K, the Company has undertaken a business improvement process that includes a comprehensive cost structure analysis of its operations and a benchmarking analysis to similar-sized utilities.  The Company is now in the process of implementing a series of initiatives designed to manage future operational costs, maintain financial

strength and strengthen its regulated utilities.   The multi-phase process includes a business improvement plan to streamline internal processes and reduce the Company’s work force.  The utility-related process enhancements are designed to improve and centralize business functions.
 
The Company has existing plans providing severance benefits to employees who are involuntarily terminated due to elimination of their positions.  Under SFAS 112, the severance benefits payable under the Company’s existing plans should be recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  At June 30, 2008, theThe Company assessedregularly assesses the status of the business improvement plan process and the positions that wereare probable of being eliminated as determined at that time.  During the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the CompanyPNMR recorded pre-tax severance benefits payable of $0.3$1.3 million and $0.5$1.8 million and other costs, primarily consulting fees, related to the business improvement plan of $1.2$2.5 million and $3.2$5.7 million.  Substantially all of these costs were recorded at PNMR.  PNMR recorded pre-tax severance benefits payable of $12.3 million, of which $6.9 million was recorded by PNMR.PNM and $0.3 million was recorded by TNMP, and other costs related to the business improvement plan of $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.  As additional phases of the business improvement plan are developed, the associated costs will be analyzed and recorded.

(16)  Variable Interest Entities

Information regarding the Company’s assessment of potential variable interest entities is contained in Note 9 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 10-K.

On April 18, 2007, PNM entered into a power purchase agreementPPA to purchase all of the electric capacity and energy from Valencia, a natural gas-fired power plant near Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Valencia became operational on May 30, 2008.  A third-party built, owns and operates the facility while PNM is the sole purchaser of the electricity generated. The total construction cost for the facility was $90.0 million. The term of the power purchase agreementPPA is for 20 years beginning June 1, 2008, with the full output of the plant estimated to be 145 MW.  During the term of the PPA, PNM has the option to purchase and own up to 50% of the plant or the variable interest entity. 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 arrangement and concluded that the third party entity that owns Valencia is a variable interest entity and that PNM is the primary beneficiary of the entity under FIN 46R since itPNM will absorb the majority of the variability in the cash flows of the plant.  As the primary beneficiary, PNM has consolidated the entity in its financial statements beginning on the commercial operations date.  Accordingly, the assets, liabilities, operating expenses, and cash flows of Valencia are included in the consolidated financial statements of PNM although PNM has no legal ownership interest or voting control of the variable interest entity.  The owner’s equity and net income of Valencia are considered attributable to minority interest.  PNM did not consolidate the variable interest entity prior to May 30, 2008 since PNM had no financial risk.

Summarized financial information for Valencia since May 30, 2008 is as follows:

As of June 30, 2008, the utility plant serves as collateral for the obligations of this variable interest entity.  As of June 30, 2008, the short-term debt of variable interest entity is to its parent and is non-recourse to both PNMR and PNM.  Subsequent to June 30, 2008, the variable interest entity restructured its financial arrangements with its parent through a new short-term debt obligation of $75.2 million.

(17)  Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Under the provisions of SFAS 142, the Company evaluates its goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets for impairment annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if circumstances indicate that the goodwill or intangible assets may be impaired.  The goodwill and other intangible assets were recorded upon PNMR’s acquisition of TNP and were pushed down to the businesses acquired.  In connection with the transfer of TNMP’s New Mexico operations to PNM, $102.8 million of goodwill was transferred to PNM.

The Company performed its annual testing of these assets as of April 1, 2008.  Application of the impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.    The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology.  This analysis requires significant judgments, including estimation of
68

TEXAS-NEW MEXICO POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of long-term growth rates for the business and determination of appropriate weighted average cost of capital for each reporting unit.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and the conclusion of impairment for each reporting unit.

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.

Because of the timing and complexity of the calculations required in the second step of the impairment analysis related to the goodwill of First Choice, the Company anticipates finalizing this analysis in the third quarterpreliminary estimates of 2008.  However, a preliminary estimate of the goodwill impairment has been recorded based on the calculations performed to date and may be revised.  Neither the impairmentswere recorded as of June 30, 2008 nor changesamounting to $43.2 million for goodwill and $7.4 million for the estimatedFirst Choice trade name.  During the third quarter of 2008, the Company finalized this analysis and additional amounts were recorded.  The impairments do not impact the Company’s cash flows.  A summary of goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets and pre-tax impairments recorded in the threenine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 is as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for PNMR is presented on a combined basis, including certain information applicable to PNM and TNMP.  The MD&A for PNM and TNMP is presented as permitted by Form 10-Q General Instruction H (2).  For discussion purposes, this report will use the term “Company” when discussing matters of common applicability to PNMR, PNM and TNMP.  A reference to a “Note” in this Item 2 refers to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Item 1, unless otherwise specified.  Certain of the tables below may not visually add due to rounding.

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 Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements in Item 2 and to Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors.

MD&A FOR PNMR

BUSINESS AND STRATEGY

Overview

The overall strategy of PNMR is to concentrate business efforts on its core regulated and unregulated electric businesses.  PNMR intends to focus on its regulated electric business by selling its gas operations, which is expected to close near the end of 2008.late in 2008 or early in 2009.  PNMR expects to use the net after-tax proceeds to retire debt, fund future electric capital expenditures and for other corporate purposes.  The growth of the unregulated electric business is expected from the further development of EnergyCo.  The strategic growth of EnergyCo was initiated with PNMR’s contribution of Altura on June 1, 2007 and continued with EnergyCo’s acquisition of the Altura Cogen Power Plant in August 2007 and with EnergyCo’s ongoing joint development project for the Cedar Bayou IV Generating Station with NRG Energy, Inc.

On August 11, 2008, PNMR announced that it hashad decided to pursue strategic alternatives for First Choice.  PNMR also stated that it remained committed to the Texas market structure and believed in the First Choice business model.  Since then, global economic conditions have deteriorated dramatically encompassing the U.S. residential housing market, and global and domestic equity and credit markets.  The tightening of the credit markets coupled with extreme volatility in commodity markets has had a direct, negative impact on several of First Choice’s competitors in the ERCOT retail market resulting in, on the one hand, profitable growth opportunities for First Choice, but on the other hand, an increased risk in executing strategic transactions in the retail sector.  A number of qualified parties indicated their interest in pursuing a transaction with First Choice, validating its business model and strategic value, but at this point, management has determined that retaining First Choice provides better long term value for PNMR shareholders.

The focus on the electric businesses also includes environmental sustainability efforts.  These efforts are comprised of various components including environmental upgrades, energy efficiency leadership, solar generating site and technology feasibility, purchasing power from renewable resources, and climate change leadership.  The investment in environmental sustainability is expected to result in future emission reductions as well as other long-term benefits for the Company.

The recent and unprecedented disruption in the current credit markets has had a significant adverse impact on a number of financial institutions. As discussed in Note 7, several of the financial institutions that the Company deals with have been impacted. However, at this point in time, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near future. We will continue to closely monitor our liquidity and the credit markets.  In addition, there has been a significant decline in the level of prices of marketable equity securities, including those held in trusts maintained for future payments of benefits under pension and retiree medical plans.  The stock market decline will likely result in increased levels of funding and expense applicable to these trusts.

Hurricane Ike, which struck the Texas Gulf Coast on September 13, 2008, caused extensive damage to the city of Galveston and the surrounding communities.  Storm-related outages lowered TNMP sales volumes, decreasing revenues, margins, and earnings. In addition, TNMP estimates power restoration costs to be in the range of $25 million to $30 million. As a provider of regulated transmission and distribution services under the provisions of TECA, TNMP expects to
74

recover prudently incurred storm-related restoration costs in accordance with applicable regulatory and legal principles. First Choice was negatively impacted due to reduced sales volumes and the sale of excess power at prices that were lower than purchased prices. The storm only caused minor damage to EnergyCo’s facilities, but EnergyCo was impacted because of lost power sales opportunities and depressed market prices.

Another initiative of PNMR is the separation of its merchant operations from PNM, which is being accomplished in several steps.  In June, 2008, PNMR completed the sale of certain wholesale power, natural gas and transmission contracts as an initial step in separating its merchant plant activities from PNM.  In addition, Luna and Lordsburg are required to be separated by January 1, 2010 under an existing NMPRC regulatory order.  TheseAs discussed in Note 10, in its 2008 electric rate case, PNM has proposed that Luna and Lordsburg be recovered through jurisdictional rates subject to regulation by the NMPRC.   If the NMPRC does not approve this request, these units will eithermay be sold included in retail rates, or placed in another PNMR subsidiary.  PVNGS Unit 3, which is not subject to the separation order, can remain in PNM.  In April 2008, PNM entered into three separate contracts for the sale of capacity and energy related to its entire ownership interest in PVNGS Unit 3, which is 135 MW.  Under two of the contracts, PNM sells 90 MW of firm capacity and energy.  Under the remaining contract, PNM sells 45 MW of unit contingent capacity and energy.  The term of the contracts is May 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010.  Under the two firm contracts, the two buyers made prepayments of $40.6 million and $30.0 million.  The prepayments have been recorded as deferred revenue and are being amortized over the life of the contracts.

Critical to PNMR’s success for the foreseeable future is the financial health of PNM, PNMR’s largest subsidiary.  In 2007, PNM filed for new electric rates designed to increase operating revenues $76.9 million on an annual basis.  In addition, PNM asked for reinstatement of its FPPAC, which it voluntarily relinquished in 1994 under dramatically different circumstances.  As discussed in Note 10, on April 24, 2008, the NMPRC issued a final order in the case resulting in a revenue increase of $34.4 million and new rates reflecting the 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 PNM’s RECs that are being deferred as regulatory assets and to cap the recovery of coal mine decommissioning costs at $100 million. PNM recorded pre-tax write-offs in the first quarter of 2008 of $19.6 million related to the coal mine decommissioning and $10.6 million for REC costs deferred through March 31, 2008.  PNM has appealed the NMPRC treatment of coal mine decommissioning and the RECs to the New Mexico Supreme Court.  The AG has moved to intervene.  The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.  As a result of PNM’s filing of the Emergency FPPAC described below, the NMPRC determined that it was unnecessary to address the merits of the FPPAC proposed in PNM’s original case.

70

On March 20, 2008, PNM, together with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 611,IBEW, filed a joint motion to implement an Emergency FPPAC. 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 FFPACFPPAC as modified on June 2, 2008 and expects to recover $58 million to $62 million annually.  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 and the New Mexico Industrial Energy Consumers Inc. filed notices of appeal to the New Mexico Supreme Court, which seek to have vacated the NMPRC order approving the Emergency FPPAC. The appeals have been consolidated and PNM has been granted party status.  PNM is unable to predict the final outcome of these appeals.

On September 22, 2008, PNM filed a general rate case requesting the NMPRC to approve an appealincrease in electric service rates to all PNM retail customers except those formerly served by TNMP. The proposed rates are designed to increase annual operating revenue by $123.3 million, based on August 1,a March 31, 2008 ending test period and calculating base fuel costs using a projection of costs for the 12 months ending March 31, 2009. PNM has also proposed a FPPAC adjustment clause in the general form authorized by the NMPRC, but with PNM retaining 25% of off-system sales revenue and crediting 75% against fuel and purchased power costs.  As discussed in Note 10, the rate case requests that rates allow PNM to recover costs related to the Valencia PPA and its ownership in Luna and Lordsburg.  In addition, PNM requests approval for the acquisition and recovery of cost for a portion of PVNGS Unit 2 that is currently leased from another subsidiary of PNMR.  The NMPRC ordered that PNM‘s proposed rates be suspended for a period of nine months from October 22, 2008. PNM is unable to predict if other appeals will be filed or the final outcome.outcome of this matter.

PNM expectsOn August 29, 2008, TNMP filed with the PUCT for an $8.7 million increase in revenues.  If approved, new rates would go into effect in September 2009.  In its request, TNMP also asked for permission to implement a catastrophe reserve fund similar to those approved for other transmission and distribution companies in Texas. Catastrophe funds help
75

pay for a utility system’s recovery from natural disasters and acts of terrorism.  Once the rate case is finalized by the PUCT, TNMP may update its transmission rates annually to reflect changes in its invested capital.  On October 10, 2008, the PUCT issued a preliminary order permitting TNMP to file a general base rate case during the third quarter of 2008 for all of its electric customers in New Mexico, except those previously servedsupplemental testimony on costs caused by TNMP.  PNM expects new rates toHurricane Ike. These costs may be effective in the third quarter of 2009.  The general rate increase will seek recovery of increased capital spending and O&M costs and to replace the existing Emergency FPPAC with a permanent FPPAC.  The rate increase will also seek to include Luna and Lordsburgincluded in rates chargedor captured as a regulatory asset for review and approval in a subsequent proceeding.  TNMP is unable to New Mexico customers.

TNMP expects to file a general base rate case in Texas on August 29, 2008. TNMP will requests rates become effective October 3, 2008. Rates would become effective onpredict the outcome of this date, unless the PUCT or those cities retaining original jurisdiction suspend the proposed rates. Suspension of proposed rates is the normal course of action and results in the matter being referred to a contested hearing.  TNMP's last general rate case was filed in March 2000, with rates effective January 1, 2002.matter.

EnergyCo

EnergyCo was formed with ECJV as an unregulated energy company that will serve expanding U.S. markets throughout the Southwest, Texas and the West.  ECJV is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cascade, which is a large PNMR shareholder.  PNMR and ECJV each have a 50 percent ownership interest in EnergyCo, a limited liability company.

PNMR’s strategy for unregulated operations is focused on some of the nation’s growing power markets.  PNMR intends to capitalize on the growth opportunities in these markets through its participation and ownership in EnergyCo.  EnergyCo’s anticipated business activities will consist of:

·  Competitive retail energy sales
·  Development, ownership, and active management of diverse generation fleet
·  Wholesale marketing to capture the extrinsic value of the generating fleet
·  Multi-year hedging program to minimize price volatility and maximize cash flow predictability

On June 1, 2007, PNMR contributed its ownership of Altura to EnergyCo at fair market value of $549.6 million, as adjusted to reflect changes in working capital.  ECJV made a cash contribution to EnergyCo equal to 50% of the contribution amount and EnergyCo distributed that cash to PNMR.  EnergyCo has entered into a bank credit facility for working capital and other corporate purposes.  In August 2007, EnergyCo completed the acquisition of Altura Cogen and announced plans to co-develop the Cedar Bayou IV Generating Station, substantial portions of which are financed through EnergyCo’s credit facility.  In addition to purchasing energy-related assets, EnergyCo could continue to grow by PNMR contributing existing unregulated assets and ECJV, in turn, matching those contributions with cash contributions, but any such contributions would be at the option of PNMR and ECJV. 

Dividends on Common Stock

On August 11, 2008, the Board declared thea 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 dividend 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. On September 16, 2008, the Board declared another regular quarterly dividend on common stock of $0.125 per share.

Business Improvement Plan
 
The Company has undertaken a business improvement process that includes a comprehensive cost structure analysis of its operations and a benchmarking analysis to similar-sized utilities.  The Company is now in the process of implementing a series of initiatives designed to manage future operational costs, maintain financial strength and strengthen its regulated utilities.  The multi-phase process includes a business improvement plan to streamline internal processes and reduce operating costs.  The utility-related process enhancements are designed to improve business functions.  For the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, PNMR recorded pre-tax expenseexpenses of $1.5$3.8 million and $3.8$7.5 million for costs of the business improvement plan, primarily consulting and severance-related costs.  PNMR recorded pre-tax severance benefits payable of $12.3 million and other costs related to the business improvement plan of $0.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007.As additional phases of the business improvement plan are developed, the associated costs will be analyzed and recorded as specified by GAAP.

As discussed in Note 17, the Company performs its annual assessment of its goodwill and non-amortizing intangible assets as of April 1 of each year.  The 2008 assessment indicates that goodwill and the First Choice trade name have been impaired.  In addition, EnergyCo has made a strategic decision not to pursue the Twin Oaks expansion at this time and has written off its development rights as an impairment.  After-tax impairment losses totaling $140.7$140.3 million, including PNMR’s equity in the EnergyCo impairment, were recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2008.  During the third quarter of 2008, the Company finalized the First Choice impairment analysis and recorded additional after-tax impairment losses totaling $7.3 million.  The impairment analysis is based on operating results expected to occur in the future.  If the anticipated future results are not achieved, the Company may be required to perform additional assessments that could result in further impairment write-offs.


72

The impairments of goodwill amounting to $128.8$135.1 million have no income tax impacts.  However, the impairment of the First Choice trade name amounting to $7.4$9.0 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.

On May 1, 2008, PNM Electric implemented a $34.4 million base rate increase approved by the NMPRC.  The rate increase provides for a 10.1%10.1 percent return on equity.  Additionally, the NMPRC approved the implementation of an Emergency FPPAC effective June 2, 2008, which is projected to allow PNM Electric to recover an additional $58
74

to $62 million of actual fuel and purchased power costs annually above amounts collected through base rates.  See Note 10.  Implementation of theThe base rate increase resulted in a $9.2$22.7 million and $32.2 million increase to revenues and gross margin in the second quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The Emergency FPPAC resulted in a $2.3$21.4 million and $23.8 million increase to revenues and gross margin in the second quarter of 2008 when compared to the second quarter of 2007, reflecting the net amount of fuel and purchased power costs used to serve retail loads that were recovered in addition to amounts recovered through base rates.

AnFor the three and nine months ended September 30, an increase in the average retail customer count combined with higherwas more than offset by lower per-customer usage among residentialdue to weather and commercial customers,conservation efforts and the reduced operations of a major industrial customer, reducing sales volumes and decreasing revenues.  This was partiallymostly offset by the reduction of fuel and purchased power costs to serve these volumes.  For the nine months ended September 30, the net increase in margin is a reduction inresult of increased sales volumes from higher-rate customers and decreased sales volumes from lower-rate customers, primarily due to the reduced operations of a major industrial customercustomer.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, generation prices and purchased power costs were significantly higher due to increased coal costs to serve this growth.and market prices.  In the third quarter, the increase in rate recovery discussed above reflects recovery of these additional costs.

For the three months ended JuneSeptember 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 net generation from regulated power plants increased system sales revenues, gross margin and segment earnings.  Duringearnings, as increased generation from the addition of Afton and increased availability at PVNGS was partially offset by reduced generation at SJGS resulting from planned outages at Units 1 and 3.  For the nine months ended September 30, impacts include 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, decreasedreducing off-system sales revenues, gross margins and segment earnings.  During both the firstthree and second quarters of 2008,nine months ended September 30, O&M costs related to regulated plant performance increased as a result of an increase in the maintenance work performed during the outages, the addition of Afton and an increase in costs for labor, materials and
79

supplies.

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

UnregulatedFor the three months and nine months ended September 30, unregulated margins decreasedincreased over prior year levels due to increased costsavailability and more favorable pricing terms under the forward sales agreement at PVNGS, combined with higher price spreads on market transactions.  Unregulated sales volumes and revenues decreased substantially due to serve long-termthe sale of merchant portfolio sales contracts and decreased availability at PVNGS.  Unregulated margins also benefited from an increasethe reduction of other market sales, but this decrease was offset by a corresponding reduction in trading margins primarily driven by losses recognized in the second quarter of 2007.costs for these transactions.

A gain on the sale of the merchant portfolio in June 2008 increased revenues, gross margin and segment earnings.  PNM’s merchant portfolio included certain wholesale power, natural gas and transmission contracts that represent a significant portion of the wholesale activity portfolio of PNM Electric and include several long-term sales and purchase power agreements.  See Note 4.

Changes in net unrealized mark-to-market gains and losses on economic hedges were driven by increased gas and electric price movements during the firstthree and second quarters ofnine months ended September 30, 2008 when compared to the firstchanges in the three and second quarters ofnine months ended September 30, 2007.

Operational costs include costs for materials and supplies, self-insurance, depreciation, advertising, and interest, as well as shared services, employee labor, pension and benefits.  Increased costs in the secondthird quarter largely driven byincluded interest on higher debt balances andat higher rates, along with transaction fees associated with the refinancing of debt, weredebt.  This increase, combined with an increase in incentive-based compensation, was partially offset by decreases in incentive-based 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$4.9 million in the second quarter ofthree months ended September 30, 2008 and a loss of $4.3$9.2 million for the sixnine months ending JuneSeptember 30, 2008, compared to a gain of $2.4$4.6 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2008 as a result of2007 and $7.2 million for the annual impairment assessment (See Note 17).  nine months ending September 30, 2007.

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.

75In 2007, the impairment of Afton increased operating expenses, as the cost of construction exceeded the amount allowed by a NMPRC rate order.  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).

service fees approved by the PUCT increased operating revenues and gross margin.  Hurricane Ike, which struck the Gulf Coast in September 2008, reduced sales volumes, revenues and gross margin.  A decrease in the carrying cost rate on stranded costs resulted in a decrease to net earnings.  See Note 10.

Credits from synergy savings related to the acquisition of TNMP operations by PNMR were returned to customers from July 2005 through June 2007, as ordered by the PUCT.  The completion of the return of these savings in 2007 resulted in increased 2008 earnings.

SecondThird quarter 2008 segment earnings also benefited from lower interest charges resulting from a $100 million long-term debt reduction in the second quarter of 2007 and the refinancing of $148.9 million of debt in the second quarter of 2008.

An impairment of goodwill amounting to $34.5 million was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2008 as a result of the annual impairment assessment (See Note 17).

Operational costs include costs for materials and supplies, self-insurance, depreciation, and advertising, as well as shared services, employee labor, pension and benefits.  Increased building maintenanceshared service and shared serviceincentive-based compensation costs in the secondthird quarter were more than offset by decreases in incentive-based compensation insavings during the first quarter and savingssix months of 2008, primarily resulting from the business improvement plan.

(1)  Customer-owned gas.

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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2007 totaled $1.6$2.5 million and $3.3$8.0 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 June 29, 2007, the NMPRC unanimously approved an increase in annual revenues of approximately $9 million for PNM Gas, which included a 9.53%9.53 percent return on equity.  See Note 10.  Implementation of this rate increase resulted in an increase to revenues and gross margin in 2008.

CustomerIn the first and second quarters, customer growth resulted in increased operating revenues and gross margin.  This was partially offset by weather impacts, as temperatures across the service area were colder than normal levels early in the year, particularly in January, but were milder than temperatures experienced during the first quarter of 2007.  In the third quarter, reduced customer usage due to weather and conservation efforts more than offset the increase in customer growth, resulting in decreased operating revenues and gross margin.

Revenues from off-system activity increased during the first and second quarters due to increased gas prices, which were largely offset by increases in costs for the transactions.  In the second quarter of 2008, increased activity resulted in a slight increase to margin, which more than offset the slight decrease experienced in the first quarter due to reduced activity.  In the third quarter, decreased gas prices resulted in reduced revenues from off-system activity, and decreased activity also
83

resulted in a decrease to margin.

Operational costs include costs for materials and supplies, self-insurance, and advertising, as well as shared services, employee labor, pension and benefits.  Decreases in these costs in 2008 represent decreases in incentive-based compensation, as well asIn the third quarter, cost savings resulting from the business improvement plan.plan offset increases in incentive-based compensation costs.  On a year-to-date basis, these cost savings more than offset increases in costs.

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$16.1 million would have been recorded in the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008.

A shift inFor the customer mix to include lower margin customers resulted in a decrease to gross margin and segment earnings for both the secondthird quarter and year-to-date 2008.2008, a decrease in customers and lower MWh sales decreased segment earnings compared to 2007.  An increase in the average retail sales price over 2007 levels, largely related to higher purchased power costs, resulted in increased sales revenues.  Other revenues increased retail margins as a result of higher discretionary fees in 2008.  However, thesethe impact of Hurricane Ike resulted in additional lower sales and selling excess power at prices lower than purchased prices, which resulted in lower segment earnings for the quarter.  In addition, First Choice had forward purchase power contracts with LBCS through March 2009.  As a result of LBCS’s recent bankruptcy, First Choice terminated their contracts with LBCS effective September 24, 2008 and recognized a $3.9 million loss as settled purchase power contracts.  The $3.9 million loss consisted of $2.2 million previously recorded in earnings as unrealized losses on economic hedges and $1.7 million of power purchases under normal contracts not previously recorded in earnings. These power supply contracts have since been replaced with other counterparties and are expected to substantially offset the $3.9 million loss in future months.  Recognizing this forward loss in the third quarter, in addition to cumulative higher purchase power costs resulted in a decrease in thelower average retail margin.  Average market clearing prices
80

 within ERCOT have increased 115 percent since December of 2007.margins versus last year.  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. Lossescosts in the second quarter.  The customer renewal process has since been automated and contractual limitations on monthly price increases have been significantly changed to reduce First Choice’s exposure to future price volatility.  Year-to-date 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, a decrease in trading margins from a $1.7$7.3 million loss in 2007 to a $49.0$48.9 million loss in 2008 resulted in an after-tax $30.4$26.8 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 deteriorate, First Choice decided to end any further speculative trading.  In the second quarter of 2008, First Choice incurredhad flattened some of its speculative positions with
85

LBCS contracts.  Due to their bankruptcy, some of the First Choice’s speculative exposure was re-opened.  The speculative portion of the LBCS contracts was a $1.9 million loss to close out remaining speculative positions.position of $3.3 million.  However, these contracts were subsequently replaced with other counterparties resulting in no material net change in First Choice’s future position.  Of the speculative trading losses, $23.4$7.8 million has not cash settled and represents unrealized losses on its remaining forward positions at JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  The majority of these positions will cash settle before December 31, 2008.  No significant additional costs are expected related to speculative trading.

ImpairmentsYear-to-date 2008, impairments of goodwill of $43.2$49.5 million and the First Choice trade name of $7.4$9.0 million pre-tax ($4.8(aggregating $55.3 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 2008.  However, a preliminary estimate of the goodwill 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 segment earnings for both the secondthird quarter and year-to-date 2008.  Unfavorable operating costs were driven largely by an increase in bad debt expense as a result of residual billing system conversion issues.

On August 11, 2008, PNMR announced that it has decided to pursue strategic alternatives for First Choice.issues, increased customer churn, and higher average bills.

future years,years.  In addition, costs to achieve these savings such as severances and consulting charges were incurred in 2008.2008 associated with the planned divestiture of the gas business are included in the Corporate and Other segment.  Increased financing charges in 2008 resulted from remarketing of the debt component of equity-linked units at a higher interest rate, and additional long-term debt, as well as higheroffset partially by lower short-term borrowings partially offset byand lower short-term interest rates.  ��In 2007 the Corporate and Other segment includes favorable tax decisions regarding previously unrecognized tax benefits, including a settlement with the IRS that had a $16.0 million non-recurring impact on income taxes.  In addition, there was a true up in property taxes in 2007 related to Twin Oaks for periods prior to its contribution to EnergyCo.

PNMR evaluates the results of operation of EnergyCo on an earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) basis.  In this evaluation of EnergyCo, PNMR also excludes purchase accounting amortization recorded in accordance with SFAS 141, speculative trading and mark to market on forward economic hedges.

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 the emission allowances, while acquired from government programs without future cost to the plants,EnergyCo, have historically had significant market value.  Amortization related to out of market contracts changed the above total operating revenues by $(0.3) million and $1.0 million forDuring the three months and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  Amortization for out2008, EnergyCo recorded amortization of market contracts will continue through the expirationacquired of each contract, the latest of$6.2 million and $7.1 million, which is 2010 for Alturarecorded in operating revenues, and 2021 for Altura Cogen.  In addition,amortization of emission allowances of $4.2 million and $9.5 million, which is recorded in cost of energy includes $1.2 million and $5.3 million of amortization related to emission allowances acquired in the transactions for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008.  The amortizations for emission allowances are recorded as the allowances are used in plant operations, sold or expire.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 inhas inventory forof 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.  As of September 30, 2008, EnergyCo is currently evaluating what impacts this ruling might have onrecorded a pre-tax write off of $31.7 million for all inventory under the value of this inventory.  Following this ruling, the trading markets for emissions allowances have deteriorated, which could impact the future carrying amount of EnergyCo’s inventory of emission allowances.

CAIR program.  EnergyCo intends to have an active hedging program that covers a multi-year period.  The level of hedging at
82

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 $8.1has $117.6 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.  Dueinventory for other emission allowances not related 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.CAIR program.

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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the basis difference adjustment detailed above of $0.2 million and $0.6 million relaterelates mainly to contract amortization with insignificant offsets related to the other minor basis difference components.

EnergyCo has a 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 $28.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2008 and a reduction of net earnings of $10.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of higher power prices.  Due to the extreme market volatility experienced in the first quarter of 2008 in the ERCOT market, EnergyCo made the decision to exit the speculative trading business and close out the speculative
87

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 and third quarters of 2008 combined.  No additional costs are expected related to speculative trading.

Results of operations for EnergyCo for the three months ended September 2008 primarily include the operations of Altura and Altura Cogen operating stations.  Altura was contributed to EnergyCo on June 1, 2007 and EnergyCo acquired Altura Cogen on August 1, 2007.  Both generation stations continue to have strong performance in 2008, with Altura Cogen’s availability exceeding that of the same period in 2007.  In addition, Altura’s availability earned additional capacity payments in 2008 not earned in the same period last year.  Since primary operations of EnergyCo did not commence until the contribution of Altura, the earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 only reflect start-up costs, four months of Altura operations and two months of Altura Cogen operations.

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 writtenwrote off the development rights as an impairment of intangible assets amounting to $21.8 million.million in the second quarter of 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Statements of Cash Flows

The changes in PNMR’s cash flows for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008 compared to 2007 are summarized as follows:

 Six Months Ended June 30,  Nine Months Ended September 30, 
 2008  2007  Change  2008  2007  Change 
   (In millions)      (In millions)   
                  
Net cash flows from operating activities $12.3  $87.2  $(74.9) $64.1  $127.0  $(62.9)
Net cash flows from investing activities  (150.1)  172.4   (322.5)  (209.9)  19.3   (229.2)
Net cash flows from financing activities  257.9   (325.0)  582.9   395.2   (252.9)  648.1 
Net change in cash and cash equivalents $120.1  $(65.4) $185.5  $249.4  $(106.7) $356.0 

The change in PNMR’s cash flows from operating activities reflects lower earnings after adjustments to reconcile to cash flows from operations due primarily to results of operations at First Choice and PNM Electric as discussedwell as increased margin calls due to an increase in Results of Operations.commodity prices at First Choice. The decrease in operating cash flows is partially offset by settlements in 2007 of 2006 TNMP liabilities to REPs related to retail competition in Texas as ordered under TECA and payments in 2007 of 2006 incentive based compensation accruals.

The change in cash flows from investing activities reflects net distributions from EnergyCo in 2007 related to the contribution of Altura, partially offset by less cash used at PNM for utility plant additions in 2008 compared to 2007 when the expansion of the Afton plant, the purchase of assets underlying a portion of PNVGS leased by PNM, and corporate software upgrades impacted cash flows.

The change in cash flows from financing activities reflects higher long-term borrowings partially offset by the repayment of short-term borrowings at PNM and PNMR.  In addition, the redemption of long-term debt at
83

TNMP was partially offset by new short-term borrowings at TNMP. The issuance of common stock by PNMR in 2008 alsoconnection with the settlement of equity purchase obligations of the holders of publicly held equity-linked units and the issuance of long-term debt by PNMR and PNM, partially offset by the redemption of long-term debt by PNM.  In addition, PNMR had increased cash flows from financing activities.short-term borrowings in 2008.  At TNMP, the redemption of long-term debt was offset by new short-term borrowings.  Cash flows from financing activities continued to fund construction expenditures as well as strengthen the 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
88

common stock of $0.125 per share, which represents a reduction of 46 percent from the previous quarter. PNMR’s indicated annual dividend 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.  The Board also declared a regular quarterly dividend on common stock of $0.125 per share on September 16, 2008.  Projections, including amounts expended through JuneSeptember 30, 2008, for total capital requirements for 2008 are $414.4 million, including construction expenditures of $356.6 million.  Total capital requirements for the years 2008-2012 are projected to be $1,983.6 million, including construction expenditures of $1,741.4 million.  This projection includes $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 boardBoard 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 sixnine months of 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.  During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, PNM also received $3.7$6.6 million from draws under its $20 million of pollution control revenue bonds issued by the City of Farmington, New Mexico.

PNM has $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes that mature in September 2008, TNMP has $167.7 million in senior unsecured notes that mature in January 2009, PNM has $36.0 million of PCRBs that will be remarketed in July 2009, and PNMR has $100.0 million in the debt component of its privately held equity-linked units that currently are scheduled to mature in 2010, but as discussed below, the debt 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 comes due prior to 2016, except for $13.2 million that is due in installments through 2013.

As discussed in Note 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 $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 $215 million, including financing 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 additional funding will be
84

required or, if required, the amount or timing of additional funds that would be provided to EnergyCo.

Financing Activities

On March 7, 2008, TNMP entered into a $150 million short-term loan agreement with two lenders.  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.  The $150.0 million borrowing under this agreement was repaid in October 2008, through borrowing under the TNMP Facility. 

On May 5, 2008, PNM entered into the Term Loan Agreement that matures April 30, 2009 in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million, which capacity was reduced to $150.0 million on May 28, 2008.  On May 8, 2008, PNM entered into the $100.0 million Reimbursement Agreement, which allows PNM to obtain standby letters of credit up to the aggregate amount of $100.0 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.

As described in Note 7, in May 2008, PNM issued $350.0 million of senior unsecured notes and PNMR remarketed the senior unsecured notes component of its publicly held equity-linked units.  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 remarketing, PNMR issued an additional $102.7 million of new senior unsecured notes for an aggregate offering of $350.0 million.
On October 31, 2008, TNMP entered into the $100 million TNMP Bridge Facility to provide an additional source of funds that would be available in order to repay TNMP’s $167.7 million of senior unsecured notes that mature January 15, 2009.  The TNMP Bridge Facility allows for other lenders to be added to bring the total amount up to a maximum of $150
89

million and TNMP is in discussions with several other potential lenders to obtain commitments to fill out the facility.  The TNMP Bridge Facility provides for a single draw of funds after January 1, 2009 and through January 15, 2009 solely for the purpose of repaying TNMP’s senior unsecured notes maturing January 15, 2009.  Any amount drawn will be due March 30, 2009 and the facility will expire if funds are not drawn by January 15, 2009.  In the event the facility is not expanded to $150 million, there is no obligation for the lenders to fund unless PNMR agrees to provide funds to bring the total to $150 million.  The TNMP Bridge Facility includes customary covenants, including requirements to maintain a maximum consolidated debt-to-consolidated capitalization ratio.
As discussed in Note 7, PNMR’s privately held equity-linked units contain mandatory obligations under which the holders are required to purchase for cash, $100.0 million of PNMR common or preferred stock in November 2008.  The equity-linked units also provide that, prior to settlement of those purchase obligations, the debt$100.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes that are components of the equity-linked units, which are scheduled to mature in 2010, will be 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 wouldwill receive $100.0 million in cash for its equity securities and the debt wouldwill continue to mature in 2010, or such later date established in the remarketing.  In addition, PNMR may purchase up to $90.0 million principal amount of the notes in the remarketing, which notes would be cancelled thereby reducing the amount of notes outstanding.  If the remarketing is not successful on the holdersfinal remarketing date of November 12, 2008, the holder of the equity-linked units may satisfy theirits obligations to purchase PNMR equity securities by tendering the debt to PNMR instead of paying cash for the equity securities, the equity securities wouldwill be issued, and the debt wouldwill be cancelled without requiring payment in cash by PNMR.  As discussed below, the credit ratings of PNMR’s debt were recently downgraded.downgraded in April and May of 2008.  There has also been an overall deterioration of the credit markets in general.  Although thereBecause of the current turmoil in the credit markets, PNMR can beprovide no assurance PNMR believesthat the remarketing 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 that may be received from the issuance of equity securities during the settlement of PNMR’s privately held equity-linked units, the 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 2008-2012 period.  To

PNMR has an effective universal shelf registration statement for the extentissuance of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts, purchase contract units and warrants.  As of October 30, 2008, PNMR had approximately $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 cash anticipatedSEC for common stock and in April 2008, PNMR filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement for debt securities.  These new registration statements can be amended at any time to be received frominclude additional securities of PNMR.  As a result, these new shelf registration statements have unlimited availability, subject to certain restrictions and limitations.

PNMR offers new shares of PNMR common stock through the settlementPNMR Direct Plan and an equity distribution agreement.  The equity distribution agreement is currently suspended.  From January 1, 2008 through October 30, 2008, PNMR had sold a total of 185,499 shares of its common stock through the equity-linked units is not received,PNMR Direct Plan for net proceeds of $2.4 million.

In April 2008, PNM filed a new shelf registration statement for the need for new financing will be increased.issuance of $750 million of senior unsecured notes that was declared effective on April 29, 2008.  As of October 30, 2008, PNM had $600.0 million of remaining unissued securities registered under this and a prior shelf registration statement.

At August 4,October 30, 2008, the Company had short-term debt outstanding of $385.0$778.7 million.  In addition, the Company has scheduled maturities of long-term debt aggregating $470.3$205.6 million prior to JuneSeptember 30, 2009.  The Company is exploring financial alternatives to meet these obligations.  TheAlthough accessing the capital markets at the current time could be difficult as well as costly, the Company currently believes that its internal cash generation, existing credit arrangements, and access to public and private capital markets in the longer term 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.  However, if the current market difficulties continue for an extended period of time or
90

worsen, the Company may not be able to access the capital markets or renew credit facilities when they expire.  In such event, the Company would seek to improve cash flows by reducing capital expenditures and would consider seeking authorization for the issuance of first mortgage bonds in order to improve access to the capital markets, as well as any other alternatives that may remedy the situation at that time.

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.

On April 18, 2008, S&P lowered the credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP and placed them on credit watch for possible additional downgrades.  On May 6, 2008, S&P again lowered the credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP and 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 outlook.  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 and could increase future borrowing costs for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP. In addition, certain contractual arrangements require that the Company obtain commercial insurance for risks that were previously self-insured.  On October 2, 2008, Fitch Ratings announced credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP.  As of October 30, 2008, ratings on the Company’s securities were as follows:

Liquidity

The Company’s principal liquidity arrangements include the PNMR Facility and the PNM Facility, both of which primarily expire in 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 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 an effective universal shelf registration statement for the issuance of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, purchase contracts, purchase contract units and warrants.  As of August 4, 2008, PNMR had approximately $150.0 million of remaining unissued securities under this universal shelf registration statement.  In addition,discussed in August 2006, PNMR filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for common stockBUSINESS AND STRATEGY – Overview above and in April 2008, PNMR filed a new automatically effective shelf registration statement for debt securities.  These new registration statements can be amended at any time to include additional securities of PNMR.  As a result, these new shelf registration statements have unlimited availability, subject to certain restrictions and limitations.

PNMR offers new shares of PNMR common stock throughNote 7, the PNMR Direct Plan and an equity distribution agreement.  The equity distribution agreement is currently suspended.  From January 1, 2008 through August 4, 2008, PNMR had sold a total of 137,738 shares of its common stock through the PNMR Direct Plan for net proceeds of $1.9 million.

In April 2008, PNM filed a new shelf registration statement for the issuance of $750 million of senior unsecured notes that was declared effective on April 29, 2008.  As of August 4, 2008, PNM had $600.0 million of remaining unissued securities registered under this and a prior shelf registration statement.

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 conditionsrecent disruption in the financial markets.

On April 18, 2008, S&P lowered thecurrent credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP and placed them on credit watch for possible additional downgrades.  On May 6, 2008, S&P again lowered the credit ratings for PNMR, PNM, and TNMP and the outlook was changed to stable for all entities.  On April 25, 2008, Moody’s lowered the credit ratings for PNMR and PNM and continuedmarkets has had a review for possible downgrade, while reaffirming TNMP’s ratings with a negative outlook.  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 posting of additional letters of credit or other collateral that would have a negativesignificant adverse impact on liquidity. In addition, certain contractual arrangements requirea number of financial institutions and several of the financial institutions that the Company obtain commercial insurance for risks that were previously self-insured.  As of August 4, 2008, ratings ondeals with have been impacted.

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.  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 equity securities.  The purchase contracts are forward transactions in the equity securities of PNMR that are not 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 7.  See MD&A – Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Notes 6 and 7 of 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 Current 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.


87

Contingent Provisions of Certain Obligations

As discussed in the 2007 Annual Reports on Form 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.  The 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 under certain contractual agreements. As discussed above, the Company’s credit ratings were recently downgraded, which has resulted in increases in the interest rates on certain short-term debt obligations and the requirement to provide letters of credit to support certain agreements aggregating approximately $14.7 million.  Based on additional credit facilities entered into by PNM and TNMP in May 2008, the Company believes its financing arrangements are sufficient to meet the requirements of the contingent provisions.

OTHER ISSUES FACING THE COMPANY

Climate Change Issues

The prospect of futureIn May 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the EPA had the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions (“GHG”) under the Clean Air Act.  This decision, coupled with an increased focus in Congress on legislation to address climate change, regulations is becoming anhas heightened the importance of this 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 debate over the precise impacts, growing public concern over the potential effects of climate changedetails and best design for state and federal programs, increased state and federal legislative and regulatory activity
93

activities calling for the regulation of GHG indicate that climate change protection legislation and/or regulation is likely to be passed in the future.  On July 30, 2008, EPA published the Greenhouse Gas Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR).  The ANPR represents EPA’s next step in responding to the Supreme Court case.  Although the ANPR identified, but did not choose among, options for GHG regulation, it enabled EPA to achieve meaningful progress on a foundation for future regulation of GHG.  In addition, several legislative initiatives are under consideration in Congress that would regulate GHG. While it appears unlikely that legislation will be adopted or regulation completed in 2008, the Company expects GHG to be regulated in the near- to medium-term.

In January 20072006 the Company became a founding member of the United States Climate Action Partnership (“USCAP”), a coalition currently consisting of 35 businesses and national environmental organizations calling on the federal government to enact national legislation to reduce GHG emissions at the earliest practicable date.  In January 2007, after almost a year’s effort, USCAP has issuedreleased A Call To Action, a landmark set of principles and recommendations outlining a policy framework for a nationalfederal climate change program.protection legislation.   As a member of USCAP, the Company believes that a mandatory, economy-wide, federalmarket-driven approach that includes a 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.GHG.  The Company intends to continue working with USCAP, and the administrationgovernment agencies, and Congress to advocate for federal action to address this challenging environmental issue.issue that is closely linked with the U.S. economy, energy supply, and energy security.

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 onin 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.emitted and escalating these costs by 2.5% per year.  Under the NMPRC order, 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 September 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 of its integrated resource plan, and the prices may not reflect the costs that it ultimately will incur.  The Company’s integrated resource plan was filed with the NMPRC on September 16, 2008. The analysis showed that incorporation of the NMPRC required carbon emissions costs did not significantly change the dispatch of existing facilities nor the resource decisions of future facilities over the next 20 years.  Much higher carbon emissions costs than assumed in the analysis are necessary to impact the dispatch of existing resources or future resource decisions. The primary consequence of carbon emissions costs was an increase to generation portfolio costs.

In February  2007 five western states (Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington) entered into an accord, called the Western Regional Climate Action Initiative (the “WCI”), to reduce GHG emissions from automobiles and certain industries, including utilities.  Since then, Montana, Utah, British Columbia, and Manitoba, Montana, Ontario, and Quebec have joined as partners in the WCI.    The WCI requires the states and provinces signing the accord to work together to set a regional emissions goal within nine months and develop a specific plan to meet the goal within eighteen months.  In August 2007 the WCI signors announced a regional GHG reduction goalreleased design recommendations for elements 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 foron September 23, 2008.  Under these recommendations, GHG from the seven participating stateselectricity sector and these Canadian provinces with GHG reporting requirementsfossil fuel consumption of the industrial and commercial sectors will be capped at then current levels and subject to commenceregulation starting in 20102012.  Over time, producers will be required to reduce their emissions of GHG.  At this point the WCI blueprint represents a recommended set of principles and a cap and trading system to commence 2012.  Final recommendations onguidelines.  Implementation of the design elements are expectedwill fall to each state and province.  In New Mexico, this will require new legislation and/or rulemaking.  The Company expects to participate in the legislative and rulemaking process in New Mexico and will not be issued by the end of September 2008.The Company continuesable to monitor the WCI and tofully 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 unclear what the final legislation will require.

The Company expects theNew Mexico regulation of GHG emissionsuntil the legislative and rulemaking processes have progressed significantly.
 The regulation of GHG is expected to have a material impact on its operations,the utility industry both in terms of increased costs associated with fossil fuels and increased opportunities associated with fuels other than fossil fuels, but it is premature to attempt to quantify the possible costs and other implications of these impacts.impacts on the Company.

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.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, there have been no significant changes with regard to the critical accounting policies disclosed in PNMR’s, PNM’s, and TNMP’s Annual Reports on Forms 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.  The policies disclosed included the accounting for unbilled revenues, regulatory accounting, impairments, decommissioning costs, derivatives, pension and other postretirement benefits, accounting for contingencies, income taxes, and market risk.

For information about the risks associated with the use of derivative financial instruments see Item 3. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

SECURITIES ACT DISCLAIMER

Certain securities described in this report have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be reoffered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws.  This Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

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,the Vice President - Treasurer, 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
96

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.Vice President - Treasurer.  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 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 the transaction is an effective hedge.  The amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognized in results of operations when the hedged transaction 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 that are either speculative and expose the Company to market 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, purchase power 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.

PNM’s unregulated operations, including long-term contracts and short-term sales, are managed primarily through a net asset-backed marketing strategy, whereby PNM’s aggregate net open forward contract position is covered by its forecasted excess generation capabilities 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, except 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 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
97

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 retail operations.instruments designed to preserve targeted margins.  As discussed in the results of operations for First Choice, in 2008 First Choice is exitingended speculative trading.

92

GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between 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,External pricing input availability varies based on commodity location, market data to value these instruments is available for up to five years for gas swapsliquidity, and electricity contracts and up to 18 months for options.  The remaining periods are referred to asterm of the illiquid period and are valued using internally developed pricing data.agreement.  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.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company determines the fair market values of its instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in SFAS 157, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.  Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.  Multiple sources of broker data are referenced to triangulate reasonable ranges of values and to facilitate validation of Level 2 and Level 3 commodity transactions.

The following table shows the net fair value of mark-to-market energy contracts included in PNMR’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.  See Note 4 for additional information.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2008, PNMR had $19.9$0.6 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%less than 1% 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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, changes in PNMR’s Level 3 transactions were primarily related to the June 2008 $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.contracts.

Risk Management Activities

PNM measures the market risk of its long-term contracts and wholesale activities using a VaR calculation to maintain total exposure within management-prescribed limits.  The 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.  PNM 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 VaR calculation considers PNM’s forward position for the next eighteen months.  PNM 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 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 measures VaR for all transactions that are not directly asset related and have economic risk.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the average VaR amount for these transactions was $0.7$0.3 million with high and low VaR amounts for the period of $1.4$0.9 million and $0.4 million.zero.  The VaR amount for these transactions at JuneSeptember 30, 2008 was $1.3less than $0.1 million.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2007, the average VaR amount for these transactions was $4.1$1.3 million with high and low VaR amounts for the period of $6.4$2.8 million and $1.8$0.2 million.  The total VaR amount for these transactions at JuneSeptember 30, 2007 was $1.8$0.2 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 uses a held-to-maturity VaR calculation to approximate EaR. The calculation utilizes the same Monte Carlo simulation approach described above at a 95% confidence level and includes the retail load and supply portfolios as well as all speculative trades.portfolios. Management believes the VaR results are a reasonable approximation of the potential variability of earnings against forecasted 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’sFirst Choice’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
100

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 sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the average EaR amount was $22.2$18.1 million, with high and low EaR amounts for the period of $44.3 million and $12.6$6.1 million.  The total EaR amount at JuneSeptember 30, 2008 was $15.3$6.5 million.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2007, the average EaR amount for these transactions was $14.0$14.9 million, with high and low EaR amounts for the period of $20.5$27.1 million and $5.7 million.  The total EaR amount for these transactions at JuneSeptember 30, 2007 was $7.3$18.8 million.

In addition, First Choice utilizes two VaR measures to manage its market risk.  The first VaR limit is based on the same total portfolio approach as the EaR measure; however, the VaR measure is intended to capture the effects of changes in market prices over a 10-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 $4.6$1.2 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $12.1 million, $1.6$1.1 million and $5.9$4.6 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $4.5$1.3 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2007.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2007, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $6.2 million, $2.1$1.3 million and $4.1$3.9 million.

The second VaR limit was established for First Choice transactions that are subject to mark-to-market accounting as defined by SFAS 133.  This calculation captures the effect of changes in market prices over a 3-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 less than $0.1 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $3.5 million, less than $0.1 million and $1.0$0.7 million.  The VaR amount for these transactions was $1.8$0.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2007.  For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2007, the high, low and average mark-to-market VaR amounts were $4.4 million, $0.7$0.1 million and $2.0$1.6 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.

The following table provides information related to PNMR’s credit exposure as of JuneSeptember 30, 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 PNMR may have.

The Rating included in “Investment Grade” is for counterparties with a minimum S&P rating of BBB- or Moody's rating of Baa3.  If the counterparty has provided a guarantee by a higher rated entity (e.g., its parent), determination is based on the rating of its guarantor.  The category “Internal Ratings - Investment Grade” includes those counterparties that are internally rated as investment grade in accordance with the guidelines established in the Company’s credit policy.

 (b)The Net Credit Risk Exposure is the net credit exposure from operations.  This includes long-term contracts, forward sales and short-term sales. The exposure captures the net amounts from receivables/payables for realized transactions, delivered and unbilled revenues, and mark-to-market gains/losses (pursuant to contract terms).  Exposures are offset according to legally enforceable netting arrangements and reduced by credit collateral.  Credit collateral includes cash deposits, letters of credit and performance bonds received from counterparties.  Amounts are presented before those reserves that are determined on a portfolio basis.

Interest Rate Risk

The remarketing of PNMR’s debtsenior notes issued as part of the equity-linked units sold in October 2005 will begin on November 7, 2008.  The maturity date 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 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 debtthe senior
102

notes 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 believes the remarketing 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 2.0%2.7%, if interest rates were to decline by 50 basis points from their levels at JuneSeptember 30, 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.

The securities held by PNM in the NDT and in trusts for pension and other post-employment benefits had an estimated fair value of $657.5$578.0 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2008, of which 26.6%27.9% 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the decrease in the fair value of the fixed-rate securities would be 3.3%, or $5.7$5.3 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.

The securities held by TNMP in trusts for pension and other post-employment benefits had an estimated fair value of $81.2$70.5 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2008, of which 21.0%22.2% 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2008, the decrease in the fair value of the fixed-rate securities would be 4.0%3.9%, or $0.7$0.6 million.  TNMP,PNM, therefore, is at risk for shortfalls in its funding of its obligations due to investment losses.  TNMP does not believe that long-termlosses, included those from the equity 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.and alternatives investment risks discussed below.

Equity Market Risk

The NDT and trusts established for PNM’s pension and post-employment benefits hold certain equity securities at JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  These equity securities also expose PNM to losses in fair value.  Equity securities comprised 56.3%53.3% of the securities held by the various trusts as of JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  PNM does not recover or earn a return through rates on any losses or gains on these equity securities.

The trusts established for TNMP’s pension and post-employment benefits hold certain equity securities.  These equity securities also expose TNMP to losses in fair value.  Equity securities comprised 50.7%47.8% of the securities held by the trusts as of JuneSeptember 30, 2008.  TNMP does not recover or earn a return through rates on any losses or gains on these equity securities.  There has been a significant decline in the general price levels of marketable equity securities in 2008, particularly in September and October.  The impacts of these declines will not be quantified until the next valuations are performed.  However, it is likely that increased levels of funding will be required and additional amounts will be recorded as expense.

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.  The valuation of the alternative asset class has also been impacted by the significant decline in the general price levels of marketable equity securities.

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,October 30, 2008, the Company had consolidated short-term debt outstanding of $385.0$778.7 million.  In addition, as of August 4,October 30, 2008, PNMR’s subsidiariesthe Company had scheduled maturities of long-term debt aggregating $467.7$205.6 million due prior to August 4,October 30, 2009, consisting ofincluding PNM’s $300.0$36.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.4%4.0% senior unsecured notes PCRBs, due September 15, 2008July 1, 2009 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 1,16, 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 16,17, 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.  If PNMR does successfully remarket the notes, it intends to purchase and cancel up to $90 million of the notes, and will have approximately $10 million in cash remaining after the purchase of such notes and the sale of the equity securities, which it expects to use to pay down outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. 
 
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.  Indowngraded and 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.
 
Impacts of Current Economic Conditions
There is currently a downturn in economic conditions worldwide that has varying degrees of impact on the areas in which the Company operates. In the event of a prolonged recession there may an overall reduction in the level of economic activity that might result in uncertainty regarding energy prices and declines in consumption, which could adversely affect future revenues, earnings and growth.  Current economic conditions also impact capital and commodity markets.  There currently exists what has been characterized as a “credit crisis” in the United States.  The uncertainty and instability of the financial markets may affect the Company’s ability to raise capital as well as increase the cost of additional capital.

105

Downturns in economic activity in certain areas could impact our customers, including lower levels of income and increased unemployment.  These factors may cause customers to be unable to pay their bills on time, which could impact our cash flows, and increase bad debt expense, which will impact results of operations. 

Economic conditions also impact the supply of commodities and materials needed to construct or acquire utility assets, including concrete, copper, steel, and aluminum, as well as the availability of construction labor.  The cost of those items is also affected by economic conditions and could increase significantly over forecasted amounts.

The Company targets 57.5% of its pension trust funds and 70% of its trust funds for other postretirement benefits to be invested in marketable equity securities.  There has been a significant decline in the general price levels of marketable equity securities in 2008, particularly in September and October.  The impacts of these declines will not be quantified until the next actuarial valuation as of January 1, 2009, but it is likely that increased levels of funding will be required and additional amounts will be recorded as expense.

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.
