San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in assets available for benefits of the Plan for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION
The following description of the San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
GeneralThe Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (the "Company" or "Employer") with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the Parent Company, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
The Plan was amended, effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage, nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the Retirement Strategy TrustBalanced Fund.
AdministrationCertain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the Plan, including recordkeeping, trustee fees and investment management fees.
ContributionsContributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:
Participating Employee ContributionsPursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC"), participants may contribute up to 15% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. Total individual pre-tax contributions in 2001 and 2000 were limited by law to $10,500.
Employer Nonelective Matching ContributionsThe Company makes matching contributions to the Plan equal to 50% of each participant's contribution, up to the first 6% of eligible pay. The Company's matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock.
Discretionary Incentive ContributionIf established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy. For 2001 and 2000, incentive contributions of 1% of eligible compensation were made. The incentive contributions were made on March 15, 2002 and 2001 to all employees employed on December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The contributions were made in the form of cash which was then used to purchase Sempra Energy common stock.
Participant AccountsSeparate accounts are maintained for each participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions, the Employer's nonelective matching contribution and discretionary incentive contribution, and an allocation of investment earnings of the Plan and fees. Allocations are based on participants' contributions or account balances, as defined in the Plan document.
4
VestingAll participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable.
Investment OptionsAll investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the "Master Trust") (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock or specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price and Fidelity Investment Managers. In addition, investment choices were increased to allow participants to invest in a broad range of funds through a brokerage window. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the Employer Contribution Account) in the brokerage window.
Payment of DividendsActive employees have the option to receive distributions of cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock in their account balances or to reinvest the dividends in Sempra Energy common stock. Cash dividends will automatically be passed through to former employees who have terminated or retired and elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.
Payment of BenefitsParticipants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash following their termination of employment with the Company, retirement date, permanent disability or in the event of death.
Termination of the PlanAlthough it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the plan will be distributed to the participants.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of AccountingThe Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income RecognitionThe Plan's investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Benefit PaymentsPayments are recorded when paid.
5
3. TAX STATUS
On May 23, 1995, the Internal Revenue Service issued the Plan a determination letter stating that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and the underlying trust is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The Plan's administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
4. PARTICIPANT LOANS
The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000, and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have one loan outstanding. Loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made.
5. INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
The Plan's assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy, for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan had interests of approximately 33% and 36% in the assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Net earnings of the Master Trust are allocated daily by T. Rowe Price to each participant account. Net earnings include interest income, dividend income and net appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Benefit payments, contributions and expenses are made on a specific-identification basis.
The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are summarized as follows:
|

The Plan and Master Trust invest in various securities as detailed above. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.
6. NON-PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
The Company's contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Sempra Energy common stock. These contributions are classified as non-participant directed investments.

Sempra Energy Trading Retirement Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Sempra Energy Trading Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31, 2001 and 2000, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SEMPRA ENERGY TRADING RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION
The following description of the Sempra Energy Trading Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
GeneralThe Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Sempra Energy Trading or any affiliate who has adopted this Plan (the "Company" or "Employer") with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the Parent Company, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
The Plan was amended, effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage, nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the Retirement Strategy TrustBalanced Fund.
AdministrationCertain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the Plan, including recordkeeping, trustee fees and investment management fees.
ContributionsContributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:
Participating Employee ContributionsPursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC"), each participant may contribute, up to 15% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. Total individual pre-tax contributions in 2001 and 2000 were limited by law to $10,500.
Employer Nonelective Matching ContributionAfter one year of service in which an employee worked at least 1,000 hours of service, the Company makes contributions to the Plan based on the participant's contributions and years of service as follows:
Less than five years of service | 1/3 of participant contributions up to 6% of eligible pay | |
Five to nine years of service | 2/3 of participant contributions up to 6% of eligible pay | |
Ten years or more of service | 100% of participant contributions up to 6% of eligible pay |
The Company may also provide an additional matching contribution of 15% of the participant's total pre-tax contribution, subject to certain limitations described in the Plan document.
The Company's matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock.
4
Discretionary Incentive ContributionIf established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy. For 2001 and 2000, incentive contributions of 1% of eligible compensation were made. The incentive contributions were made on March 15, 2002 and 2001 to all employees employed on December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The contributions were made in the form of cash which was then used to purchase Sempra Energy common stock.
Participant AccountsSeparate accounts are maintained for each participant. Each participant employee's account is credited with the participant's contributions, the Employer's non-elective matching contribution and discretionary incentive contribution, and an allocation of investment earnings of the Plan and fees. Allocations are based on participants' contributions or account balances, as defined in the Plan document.
VestingAll participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Investment OptionsAll investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the "Master Trust") (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock or specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price and Fidelity Investment Managers. In addition, investment choices were increased to allow participants to invest in a broad range of funds through a brokerage window. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the Employer Contribution Account) in the brokerage window.
Payment of BenefitsParticipants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash following their termination of employment with the Company, retirement date, permanent disability or in the event of death.
Plan TerminationAlthough it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the plan will be distributed to the participants.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of AccountingThe Plan maintains its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investment Valuation and Income RecognitionThe Plan's investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Benefit PaymentsPayments are recorded when paid.
5
3. TAX STATUS
The Company has requested from the Internal Revenue Service a determination letter stating that the Plan, as designed, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan's administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and operated in accordance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and that the underlying trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.
4. PARTICIPANT LOANS
The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000, and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding, one of which can be a primary residence loan. Loans have a maximum repayment period of five years and primary residence loans have a maximum repayment period of 15 years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made.
5. INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
The Plan's assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy, for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan had an approximate 1% interest in the assets available for plan benefits of the Master Trust at both December 31, 2001 and 2000.
Net earnings of the Master Trust are allocated daily by T. Rowe Price to each participant account. Net earnings include interest income, dividend income and net appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Benefit payments, contributions and expenses are made on a specific-identification basis.
The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are summarized as follows:
|

The Company's contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Sempra Energy common stock. These contributions are classified as non-participant directed investments.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000
1. PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION
The following description of the Southern California Gas Company Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
GeneralThe Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Southern California Gas Company (the "Company" or "Employer") with retirement benefits. Effective January 1, 2001, all employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. For the year ended December 31, 2000, employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement may participate upon completion of one year of service in which they work 1,000 hours and immediately receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the Parent Company, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
The Plan was amended effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage, nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the Retirement Strategy TrustBalanced Fund.
AdministrationCertain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the Plan, including recordkeeping, trustee fees and investment management fees.
ContributionsContributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:
Participating Employee Contributions: Non-Represented EmployeesPursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "IRC"), each participant may contribute up to 15% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. Total individual pre-tax contributions in 2001 and 2000 were limited by law to $10,500.
Participating Employee Contributions: Represented EmployeesPursuant to Section 401(a) of the IRC, effective January 1, 2001 each participant may contribute up to 15% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. Prior to 2001, each participant was eligible to contribute up to 15% (up to 9% pre-tax) of base pay. Total individual pre-tax contributions in 2001 and 2000 were limited by law to $10,500.
Employer Nonelective Matching ContributionThe Company makes matching contributions to the Plan equal to 50% of each participant's contribution, up to the first 6% of eligible pay. The Company's matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Employer contributions are funded in part from the Sempra Energy Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. Both represented and non-represented employees are eligible for the employer nonelective matching contribution after completing one year of service.
4
Discretionary Incentive ContributionIf established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy for non-represented employees. For 2001 and 2000, an incentive contribution of 1% of eligible compensation was made on March 15, 2002 and 2001 to all employees employed on December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The contribution was made in the form of cash which was then used to purchase Sempra Energy common stock.
Participant AccountsSeparate accounts are maintained for each participant. Each participant employee's account is credited with the participant's contributions, the Employer's nonelective matching contributions and discretionary incentive contributions and an allocation of investment earnings and fees. Allocations are based on participants' contributions or account balances, as defined in the Plan document.
VestingAll participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
Investment OptionsAll investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the "Master Trust") (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock or specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price and Fidelity Investment Managers. In addition, investment choices were increased to allow participants to invest in a broad range of funds through a brokerage window. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the Employer Contribution Account) in the brokerage window.
Payment of DividendsActive employees have the option to receive distributions of cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock in their account balances or to reinvest the dividends in Sempra Energy common stock. Cash dividends will automatically be passed through to former employees who have terminated or retired and elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.
Payment of BenefitsParticipants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash following their termination of employment with the Company, retirement date, permanent disability or in the event of death.
Plan TerminationAlthough it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the plan will be distributed to the participants.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of AccountingThe Plan maintains its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
5
Investment Valuation and Income RecognitionThe Plan's investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices. Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Benefit PaymentsPayments are recorded when paid.
3. TAX STATUS
On November 19, 1996, the Internal Revenue Service issued the Plan a favorable determination letter stating that the Plan, as then designed was in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and the underlying trust is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The Plan's administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
4. PARTICIPANT LOANS
The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000, and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding, one of which can be a primary residence loan. Loans have a maximum repayment period of five years and primary residence loans have a maximum repayment period of 15 years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made.
5. INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
The Plan's assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy, for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan had interests of approximately 52% and 51% in the assets available for plan benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Net earnings of the Master Trust are allocated daily by T. Rowe Price to each participant account. Net earnings include interest income, dividend income and net appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Benefit payments, contributions and expenses are made on a specific-identification basis.
The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2001 and 2000 are summarized as follows:
