NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT
(Unaudited)
1. Formation and Organization
New Century Energies, Inc. ("NCE" or "the Company") was incorporated under
the laws of the State of Delaware on August 21, 1995 with 50% of its outstanding
200 shares, $1.00 par value, common stock purchased by Public Service Company of
Colorado ("PSCo") and 50% purchased by Southwestern Public Service Company
("SPS").
In August, 1995, NCE, PSCo and SPS entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization (the "Merger Agreement") providing for a business combination as
peer firms involving PSCo and SPS in a "merger of equals" transaction (the
"Merger"). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, PSCo and SPS will be the
surviving corporations and will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of NCE. Each
share of NCE common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
effective time of the Merger will be canceled, and no consideration shall be
delivered in exchange for such stock. Each outstanding share of PSCo common
stock, par value $5.00 per share, will be canceled and converted into the right
to receive one share of NCE common stock and each outstanding share of SPS
common stock, $1.00 par value, will be canceled and converted into the right to
receive 0.95 of one share of NCE common stock. Based on the outstanding common
stock of PSCo and SPS at March 31, 1997, the Merger would result in the common
shareholders of PSCo owning 63% of the common equity of NCE and the common
shareholders of SPS owning 37% of the common equity of NCE.
NCE filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") which became effective on December 13, 1995 with
respect to the shares of common stock of NCE issuable in the mergers discussed
above. On April 21, 1997, a second Form S-4 was filed to register 1.5 million
additional shares of common stock.
The Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the
receipt of all necessary shareholder approvals, governmental approvals and the
making of all necessary governmental filings, including approvals and findings
of state utility regulators in Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Wyoming and Kansas,
as well as the approval of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the
Federal Trade Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice in addition to the
expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the
Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. All required
shareholder approvals and state and Federal regulatory agency authorizations
have been received, except for the approval by the SEC. The Company expects that
the SEC will make its ruling on the Merger in the second quarter of 1997 and the
Merger will be completed at such time.
NCE currently engages in no significant operations other than the
organization of the proposed public utility holding company. Descriptions of the
businesses of PSCo and SPS are contained in their reports under Section 13 or
15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 incorporated herein by
reference.
2. Related Party Transactions
PSCo and SPS have incurred all costs related to the formation of NCE,
including those costs associated with the registration of NCE's common stock and
its application to be a registered public utility holding company. Such costs,
approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997
(approximately $3.7 million since inception), were not charged to NCE.
Accordingly, the Company has no operating or cash flow activities to report in
statements of income or statements of cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996.
The cash received from shareholders was deposited into a PSCo bank account
during the first quarter of 1996 and, accordingly, NCE has recognized this
amount as a receivable from shareholder in the accompanying balance sheets.

3. Management's Representations
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying balance sheets include all
adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of NCE
at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996. As discussed in Note 2, all costs
related to the formation of NCE have been incurred by PSCo and SPS; therefore,
the Company has no operating or cash flow activities to report in a statement of
income or a statement of cash flows for the first quarter of 1997and 1996. The
financial information and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the
financial information included in NCE's 1996 Annual Report filed with the SEC on
Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
TO NEW CENTURY ENERGIES, INC.
We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of New Century Energies, Inc. (a
Delaware corporation) as of March 31, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of New Century Energies, Inc. as of December 31,
1996 (not presented herein), and, in our report dated February 6, 1997, we
expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet as of December 31, 1996,
is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet
from which it has been derived.

EXHIBIT 99
NCE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets at March 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996 give effect to the Merger as if it had occurred at
March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively. The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and for
each of the three years ended December 31, 1996 give effect to the Merger as if
it had occurred on January 1, 1994. These statements are prepared on the basis
of accounting as required under a pooling of interests and do not reflect any
cost savings or other synergies anticipated by management as a result of the
Merger. Accordingly, the pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of
the financial position or results of operations that would have occurred had the
Merger been consummated for the periods for which it is given effect, nor is it
necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

NEW CENTURY ENERGIES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Information
(1) The unaudited pro forma combined statements of income have been
prepared from the historical consolidated financial statements of PSCo and SPS
and are presented as if the companies were combined during all periods presented
herein. Certain items have been reclassified on the consolidated financial
statements of SPS to conform with the NCE presentation.
(2) The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheets and statements of
income reflect the conversion of each outstanding share of PSCo Common Stock
into one share of NCE Common Stock, and each outstanding share of SPS Common
Stock into 0.95 of one share of NCE Common Stock in accordance with the terms of
the Merger.
(3) There were no intercompany transactions and, accordingly, no pro forma
elimination adjustments were made.
(4) For a discussion regarding material commitments and contingencies
relating to PSCo and SPS, refer to their respective 1996 Annual Reports on Form
10-K and SPS's Form 10-Q for the quarters ended February 28, 1997 and November
30, 1996 and PSCo's Forms 8-K filed during the first quarter of 1997.
(5) The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements include
nonrecurring charges directly related to the Merger totaling approximately $1.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and approximately $9.4 million
and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
These nonrecurring charges include merger transaction costs and benefits expense
resulting from an accelerated vesting of certain benefits. The unaudited pro
forma combined statements of income do not reflect future nonrecurring charges
directly related to the Merger. Those costs are estimated to total approximately
$7.5 million and $8.5 million at March 31, 1997 and at December 31, 1996,
respectively. The pro forma combined balance sheets at March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996 have been adjusted to include these items with the recognition
of additional current liabilities and the reduction of retained earnings.
