PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
Pacific Enterprises is a Los Angeles-based utility holding company
primarily engaged in supplying natural gas throughout most of Southern and
portions of Central California. These operations are conducted through Southern
California Gas Company, the nation's largest natural gas distribution utility,
serving 4.7 million meters and 535 communities throughout a 23,000-square mile
service territory with a population of approximately 16 million. Through other
subsidiaries, Pacific Enterprises is also engaged in interstate and offshore
natural gas transmission and in alternate energy development.
STRATEGIC PLAN AND RECENT RESTRUCTURING
Pacific Enterprises returned to profitability in 1993 and resumed
dividends on its Common Stock. This was accomplished through the completion of a
strategic restructuring and the continued strong performance of gas utility
operations conducted through Southern California Gas Company, which has achieved
or exceeded its authorized rate of return on rate base for the last 11
consecutive years.
The restructuring was part of a new strategic plan to refocus on
natural gas utility operations. It was adopted in 1992 in response to
increasingly unsatisfactory financial performance and shareholder returns
attributable to non-utility operations. Non-utility operations had been greatly
expanded in 1986 with the initial acquisition of retailing operations and, to a
lesser extent, again in 1988 with additional acquisitions in retailing and in
oil and gas exploration and production. The profitability of gas utility
operations could not offset declines in non-utility operations and earnings per
share increasingly declined beginning in 1988 and substantial and increasing
losses were incurred beginning in 1990. As a result, non-utility related
indebtedness increased substantially and dividends on Common Stock were reduced
in 1991 and suspended in 1992.
During 1992 and early 1993, retailing and oil and gas exploration and
production operations were sold with the sale proceeds applied to reduce
non-utility related debt and the remaining debt was refinanced. Corporate staff
and other expenses also were reduced. In addition, a quasi-reorganization for
financial reporting purposes was effected on December 31, 1992 restating assets
and liabilities to their fair value and eliminating an accumulated deficit in
retained earnings.
-7-
In mid-1993, Pacific Enterprises completed a public offering of 8
million shares of its Common Stock and applied a portion of the proceeds of the
offering to the repayment of substantially all remaining non-utility debt. Cash
dividends on Common Stock were then resumed at an initial annual rate of $1.20
per share.
The restructuring was completed later in 1993 by establishing common
membership for the Boards of Directors of Pacific Enterprises and Southern
California Gas Company and electing several officers in common between the two
companies. These include Willis B. Wood, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Pacific Enterprises, who was elected as Presiding Director of
Southern California Gas Company and Richard D. Farman, Chief Executive Officer
of Southern California Gas Company, who was elected as President of Pacific
Enterprises.
------------------------------
Pacific Enterprises was incorporated in California in 1907 as the
successor to a corporation organized in 1886. Its principal executive offices
are located at 633 West Fifth Street, Los Angeles, California 90071-2006 and
its telephone number is (213) 895-5000.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY
Pacific Enterprises' principal subsidiary is Southern California Gas
Company ("SoCalGas"), a public utility owning and operating a natural gas
transmission, storage and distribution system that supplies natural gas in 535
cities and communities throughout most of Southern California and parts of
Central California. SoCalGas is the nation's largest natural gas distribution
utility, providing gas service to approximately 16 million residential,
commercial, industrial, utility electric generation and wholesale customers
through approximately 4.7 million meters in a 23,000-square mile service area.
SoCalGas is subject to regulation by the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) which, among other things, establishes rates SoCalGas may
charge for gas service, including an authorized rate of return on investment.
SoCalGas' future earnings and cash flow will be determined primarily by the
allowed rate of return on common equity, growth in rate base, noncore pricing
and the variance in gas volumes delivered to these noncore customers versus
CPUC-adopted forecast deliveries, the recovery of gas and contract restructuring
costs if the Comprehensive Settlement (see "Recent Developments - Comprehensive
Settlement of Regulatory Issues") is not approved and the ability of management
to control expenses and investment in line with the amounts authorized by the
CPUC to be collected in rates. Also, SoCalGas' ability to earn revenues in
excess of its authorized return from noncore customers due to volume increases
will be substantially eliminated for the five years of the Comprehensive
Settlement referenced above. This is because forecasted deliveries in excess of
the 1991 throughput levels used to establish rates were contemplated in
estimating the costs of the Comprehensive Settlement, and are reflected in
current year liabilities. In addition, the impact of
-8-
any future regulatory restructuring and increased competitiveness in the
industry, including the continuing threat of customers bypassing SoCalGas'
system and obtaining service directly from interstate pipelines, can affect
SoCalGas' performance.
For 1994, the CPUC has authorized SoCalGas to earn a rate of return on
rate base of 9.22 percent and a 11.00 percent rate of return on common equity
compared to 9.99 percent and 11.90 percent, respectively, in 1993. Growth in
rate base for 1993 was approximately 1.8 percent and rate base is expected to
increase by approximately 4 percent to 5 percent in 1994. SoCalGas has achieved
or exceeded its authorized return on rate base for the last eleven consecutive
years and its authorized rate of return on equity for the last nine consecutive
years.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
REGULATORY ACTIVITY
On December 17, 1993, the CPUC issued its decision in SoCalGas' 1994
general rate case which authorized a net $97 million rate reduction. SoCalGas
plans to adjust its operations with the intention of operating within the
amounts authorized in rates. Approximately $21 million of the rate reduction
represents productivity improvements. Other items include non-operational
issues, primarily reductions in marketing programs and income tax effects of
the rate reduction. The decision also includes the effects of the reduction
of SoCalGas' rate of return authorized in its 1994 cost of capital proceeding,
which increased the total reduction in rates to $132 million. New rates
emanating from the CPUC decision became effective January 1, 1994.
RESTRUCTURING OF GAS SUPPLY CONTRACTS
SoCalGas and the Company's gas supply subsidiaries have reached
agreements with suppliers of California offshore and Canadian gas for a
restructuring of long-term gas supply contracts. The cost of these supplies to
SoCalGas has been substantially in excess of its average delivered cost of gas.
During 1993, these excess costs totaled approximately $125 million.
The new agreements substantially reduce the ongoing delivered costs of
these gas supplies and provide lump sum settlement payments of $375 million to
the suppliers. The expiration date for the Canadian gas supply contract has
been shortened from 2012 to 2003, and the supplier of California offshore gas
continues to have an option to purchase related gas treatment and pipeline
facilities owned by the Company's gas supply subsidiary. The agreement with the
suppliers of Canadian gas is subject to certain Canadian regulatory and other
approvals.
-9-
COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF REGULATORY ISSUES
SoCalGas and a number of interested parties, including the Division of
Ratepayer Advocates ("DRA") of the CPUC, large noncore customers and ratepayer
groups, have filed for CPUC approval a comprehensive settlement (the
"Comprehensive Settlement") of a number of pending regulatory issues including
partial rate recovery of restructuring costs associated with the gas supply
contracts discussed above. The Comprehensive Settlement, if approved by the
CPUC, would permit SoCalGas to recover in utility rates approximately 80 percent
of its contract restructuring costs of $375 million and accelerated depreciation
of related pipeline assets of its gas supply affiliates of approximately $130
million, together with interest, over a period of approximately five years.
SoCalGas has filed a financing application with the CPUC primarily for the
borrowing of $425 million to provide for funds needed under the Comprehensive
Settlement. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Comprehensive Settlement of Regulatory
Issues" for a discussion of the regulatory issues, in addition to the gas supply
issues, addressed in the Comprehensive Settlement.

SERVICE AREA
SoCalGas distributes natural gas throughout a 23,000 - square mile
service territory with a population of approximately 16 million people. As
indicated by the following map, its service territory includes most of Southern
California and portions of Central California.
[MAP]
Natural gas service is also provided on a wholesale basis to the distribution
systems of the City of Long Beach, San Diego Gas & Electric Company and
Southwest Gas Company.
- 12 -
UTILITY SERVICES
SoCalGas' customers are divided, for regulatory purposes, into core
and noncore customers. Core customers are primarily residential and small
commercial and industrial customers, without alternative fuel capability.
Noncore customers are primarily electric utilities, wholesale and large
commercial and industrial customers, with alternative fuel capability.
SoCalGas offers two basic utility services, sale of gas and
transmission of gas. Residential customers and most other core customers
purchase gas directly from SoCalGas. Noncore customers and large core customers
have the option of purchasing gas either from SoCalGas or from other sources
(such as brokers or producers) for delivery through SoCalGas' transmission and
distribution system. Smaller customers are permitted to aggregate their gas
requirements and also to purchase gas directly from brokers or producers, up to
a limit of 10 percent of SoCalGas' core market. SoCalGas generally earns the
same contribution to earnings whether a particular customer purchases gas from
SoCalGas or utilizes SoCalGas' system for transportation of gas purchased from
others. (See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations - Ratemaking Procedures.")
SoCalGas continues to be obligated to purchase reliable supplies of
natural gas to serve the requirements of its core customers. However, the only
gas supplies that SoCalGas may offer for sale to noncore customers are the same
supplies that it purchases to serve its core customers. Noncore customers that
elect to purchase gas supplies from SoCalGas must for a two-year period agree to
take-or-pay for 75 percent of the gas that they contract to purchase.
SoCalGas also provides a gas storage service for noncore customers on
a bid basis. The storage service program provides opportunities for customers
to store gas on an "as available" basis during the summer to reduce winter
purchases when gas costs are generally higher, or to reduce their level of
winter curtailment in the event temperatures are unusually cold. During 1993,
SoCalGas stored approximately 24 billion cubic feet of customer-owned gas.
- 13 -
DEMAND FOR GAS
Natural gas is a principal energy source in SoCalGas' service area for
residential, commercial and industrial uses as well as utility electric
generation (UEG) requirements. Gas competes with electricity for residential
and commercial cooking, water heating and space heating uses, and with other
fuels for large industrial, commercial and UEG uses. Demand for natural gas in
Southern California is expected to continue to increase but at a slower rate due
primarily to a slowdown in housing starts, new energy efficient building
construction and appliance standards and general recessionary business
conditions.
During 1993, 97 percent of residential energy customers in SoCalGas'
service territory used natural gas for water heating and 94 percent for space
heating. Approximately 78 percent of those customers used natural gas for
cooking and over 72 percent for clothes drying.
Demand for natural gas by large industrial and UEG customers is very
sensitive to the price of alternative competitive fuels. These customers number
only approximately 1,000; however, during 1993, accounted for approximately 19
percent of total revenues, 65 percent of total gas volumes delivered and 15
percent of the authorized gas margin. Changes in the cost of gas or alternative
fuels, primarily fuel oil, can result in significant shifts in this market,
subject to air quality regulations. Demand for gas for UEG use is also affected
by the price and availability of electric power generated in other areas and
purchased by SoCalGas' UEG customers.
Since the completion of the Kern River/Mojave Interstate Pipeline
(Mojave) in February 1992, SoCalGas' throughput to customers in the Kern County
area who use natural gas to produce steam for enhanced oil recovery projects has
decreased significantly because of the bypass of SoCalGas' system. Mojave now
delivers to customers formerly served by SoCalGas 350 to 400 million cubic
feet of gas per day. The decrease in revenues from enhanced oil recovery
customers is subject to full balancing account treatment, except for a five
percent incentive to SoCalGas for attaining certain throughput levels, and
therefore, does not have a material impact on earnings. However, bypass of
other Company markets also may occur as a result of plans by Mojave to extend
its pipeline north to Sacramento through portions of SoCalGas' service
territory. The effect of bypass is to increase SoCalGas' rates to other
customers and thus make its natural gas service less competitive with that of
competing pipelines and available alternate fuels.
- 14 -
In response to bypass, SoCalGas has received authorization from the
CPUC for expedited review of price discounts proposed for long-term gas
transportation contracts with some noncore customers. In addition, in December
1992, the CPUC approved changes in the methodology for allocating SoCalGas'
costs between core and noncore customers to reduce the subsidization of core
customer rates by noncore customers. Effective in June 1993, these new rate
changes implemented the CPUC's policy known as "long-run marginal cost." The
revised methodologies have resulted in a reduction of noncore rates and a
corresponding increase in core rates that better reflect the cost of serving
each customer class and, together with price discounting authority, has enabled
SoCalGas to better compete with interstate pipelines for noncore customers. In
addition, in August 1993 a capacity brokering program was implemented. Under
the program, for a fee, SoCalGas provides to noncore customers, or others, a
portion of its control of interstate pipeline capacity to allow more direct
access to producers. Also, the Comprehensive Settlement (see "Recent
Developments - Comprehensive Settlement of Regulatory Issues") will help
SoCalGas' competitiveness by reducing the cost of transportation service to
noncore customers.
SUPPLIES OF GAS
In 1993, SoCalGas delivered slightly less than 1 trillion cubic feet
of natural gas through its system. Approximately 64 percent of these deliveries
were customer-owned gas for which SoCalGas provided transportation services,
compared to 65 percent in 1992. The balance of gas deliveries was gas purchased
by SoCalGas and resold to customers.
Most of the natural gas delivered by SoCalGas is produced outside of
California. These supplies are delivered to the California border by interstate
pipeline companies (primarily El Paso Natural Gas Company and Transwestern
Natural Gas Company) that produce or purchase the supplies or provide
transportation services for supplies purchased from other sources by SoCalGas or
its transportation customers. These supplies enter SoCalGas' intrastate
transmission system at the California border for delivery to customers.
SoCalGas currently has paramount rights to daily deliveries of up to
2,200 million cubic feet of natural gas over the interstate pipeline systems of
El Paso Natural Gas Company (up to 1,450 million cubic feet) and Transwestern
Pipeline Company (up to 750 million cubic feet). The rates that interstate
pipeline companies may charge for gas and transportation services and other
terms of service are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC).

Market sensitive gas supplies (supplies purchased on the spot market
as well as under longer-term contracts and ranging from one month to ten years
based on spot prices) accounted for approximately 66 percent of total gas
volumes purchased by SoCalGas during 1993, as compared with 61 percent and 69
percent, respectively, during 1992 and 1991. These supplies were generally
purchased at prices significantly below those for other long-term sources of
supply.

Issues" for a discussion of the contemplated gas cost incentive mechanism. On
March 16, 1994, the CPUC issued its decision approving the gas cost incentive
mechanism for implementation for a three year trial period beginning April 1,
1994.
SoCalGas estimates that sufficient natural gas supplies will be
available to meet the requirements of its customers into the next century.
Because of the many variables upon which estimates of future service are
based, however, actual levels of service may vary significantly from estimated
levels.
RATES AND REGULATION
SoCalGas is regulated by the CPUC. The CPUC consists of five
commissioners appointed by the Governor of California for staggered six-year
terms. It is the responsibility of the CPUC to determine that utilities operate
in the best interest of the ratepayer with a reasonable profit. The regulatory
structure is complex and has a very substantial impact on the profitability of
SoCalGas.
The return that SoCalGas is authorized to earn is the product of the
authorized rate of return on rate base and the amount of rate base. Rate base
consists primarily of net investment in utility plant. Thus, SoCalGas' earnings
are affected by changes in the authorized rate of return on rate base and the
growth in rate base and by SoCalGas' ability to control expenses and investment
in rate base within the amounts authorized by the CPUC in setting rates.
SoCalGas' ability to achieve its authorized rate of return is affected by other
regulatory and operating factors. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Ratemaking
Procedures."
SoCalGas' operating and fixed costs, including return on rate base,
are allocated between core and noncore customers under a methodology that is
based upon the costs incurred in serving these customer classes. For 1994,
approximately 87 percent of the CPUC-authorized gas margin has been allocated to
core customers and 13 percent to noncore customers, including wholesale
customers. Under the current regulatory framework,
-18-
costs may be reallocated between the core and the noncore markets once every
other year in a biennial cost allocation proceeding (BCAP).
PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1993, SoCalGas owned approximately 3,280 miles of
transmission and storage pipeline, 42,250 miles of distribution pipeline and
42,406 miles of service piping. It also owned twelve transmission compressor
stations and six underground storage reservoirs (with a combined working storage
capacity of approximately 116 billion cubic feet) and general office buildings,
shops, service facilities, and certain other equipment necessary in the conduct
of its business.
Southern California Gas Tower, a wholly owned subsidiary of SoCalGas,
has a 15% limited partnership interest in a 52-story office building in downtown
Los Angeles. SoCalGas occupies about half of the building. See also "Item 2.
Properties."
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
SoCalGas has identified and reported to California environmental
authorities 42 former gas manufacturing sites for which it (together with other
utilities as to 21 of the sites) may have remedial obligations under
environmental laws. In addition, SoCalGas is one of a large number of major
corporations that have been named by federal authorities as potentially
responsible parties for environmental remediation of two other industrial sites
and a landfill site. These 45 sites are in various stages of investigation or
remediation. It is anticipated that the investigation, and if necessary,
remediation of these sites will be completed over a period of from ten years to
twenty years.
The CPUC approved approximately $9 million in SoCalGas' base rates for
expenditures beginning in 1990 through 1993 associated with investigating these
sites. In addition, the CPUC previously has approved a special ratemaking
procedure with respect to environmental remediation costs under which, upon
approval by the CPUC on a site-by-site basis, these costs are accumulated for
recovery in future rates subject to a reasonableness review. However, in a
decision issued in late 1992 in connection with its initial reasonableness
review of these costs, the CPUC concluded that SoCalGas had failed to
demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence, the reasonableness for rate
recovery of the applied for remediation costs under the existing ratemaking
procedure. The decision concluded that a reasonableness review procedure may not
be appropriate for rate
-19-
recovery of environmental remediation costs. In addition, the CPUC ordered
SoCalGas, along with other California energy utilities and the DRA, to work
toward the development of an alternate ratemaking procedure including cost
sharing between shareholder and ratepayers.
In November 1993, a collaborative settlement agreement between the
above parties was submitted to the CPUC for approval that recommends a
ratemaking mechanism that would provide recovery of 90 percent of environmental
investigation and remediation costs without reasonableness review. In addition,
the utilities would have the opportunity to retain a percentage of any insurance
recoveries to offset the 10 percent of costs not recovered in rates. On March
10, 1994, an administrative law judge's proposed decision was issued which
adopted the sharing mechanism discussed above. A final CPUC decision is
expected in mid-1994.
Through the end of 1993, preliminary investigations at 33 sites have
been completed by SoCalGas and remediation liabilities are estimated to be $82
million for all 45 sites. The liability estimated for these sites is subject to
future adjustment pending further investigation. (See Note 5 of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements filed as Exhibit 1.07 to this Annual Report.)
INTERSTATE PIPELINE OPERATIONS
Pacific Enterprises is engaged, through Pacific Interstate Company, in
interstate and offshore purchase and transmission of natural gas which is resold
to SoCalGas under long-term supply contracts. Two subsidiaries own and operate
pipelines and related facilities for deliveries to SoCalGas of gas produced from
offshore fields near Santa Barbara, California. Another subsidiary has an
interest in pipeline facilities for deliveries to SoCalGas of gas from Western
Canada.
The operations of one of these subsidiaries is regulated by the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission which has approved tariffs which provide
for the recovery from SoCalGas of virtually all costs related to the purchase
and delivery of natural gas. During 1993, these operations accounted for
approximately 26% of the total volume of gas purchased by SoCalGas and 10% of
SoCalGas' total throughput.
-20-
ALTERNATE ENERGY OPERATIONS
Through Pacific Energy, Pacific Enterprises builds and operates
electricity generating plants fueled by renewable energy sources, including gas
from sanitary landfills, waste wood, hydropower and geothermal. Electricity
produced by these plants is sold to electric utilities under long-term contracts
generally providing for escalating fixed prices for ten years with pricing
thereafter at the utility's short-run avoided cost. The fixed pricing periods
for Pacific Energy's existing contracts expire between 1995 and 1997 and Pacific
Enterprises anticipates that avoided cost pricing will result in substantially
lower prices for its electrical production than the fixed prices currently being
received.
Pacific Energy also develops and operates centralized heating and air
conditioning plants. These plants supply heated and chilled water for heating
and cooling major office buildings, hotels and apartments.
-21-
EMPLOYEES
Pacific Enterprises and its subsidiaries employ approximately 9,300
persons. Of these, approximately 9,000 are employed by SoCalGas.
Most field, clerical and technical employees of SoCalGas are
represented by the Utility Workers' Union of America, or the International
Chemical Workers' Union. Collective bargaining agreements covering these
approximately 6,400 employees expired on June 30, 1993, principally as a
consequence of failure to reach agreement with respect to SoCalGas' proposal to
permit the use of outside contractors for certain services now being provided by
union represented employees, if costs were not lowered to an amount that would
be incurred through the use of outside contractors. In August 1993, after
reaching an impasse, SoCalGas unilaterally implemented the majority of its
proposals and after two failed strike votes and further negotiations, the Union
membership voted in February 1994 on a contract with terms consistent with that
implemented by SoCalGas. On February 28, 1994, the Union notified SoCalGas that
the contract had been ratified by the membership and a contract was signed on
March 9, 1994. The collective bargaining agreement with respect to wages and
working conditions will extend through March 31, 1996. The medical plan
agreement will expire on December 31, 1995.

MANAGEMENT
The executive officers of Pacific Enterprises are as follows:
Name Age Position
- ---- --- --------
Willis B. Wood, Jr. 59 Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer and
Presiding Director of Southern
California Gas Company
Richard D. Farman 58 President and Chief Operating
Officer and Chief Executive
Officer of Southern California
Gas Company
Warren I. Mitchell 56 President of Southern
California Gas Company
Lloyd A. Levitin 61 Executive Vice President,

Officer
Charles F. Weiss 54 Senior Vice President and
Chief Administrative Officer
Leslie E. LoBaugh, Jr. 48 Vice President and General
Counsel
Executive officers are elected annually and serve at the pleasure of
the Board of Directors.
All of Pacific Enterprises' executive officers have been employed by
Pacific Enterprises or its subsidiaries in management positions for more than
five years.
There are no family relationships between any of Pacific Enterprises'
executive officers.
-23-
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Pacific Library Tower, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pacific
Enterprises, has a 25% ownership interest in a 72-story office building in
downtown Los Angeles that was completed in late 1990. Pacific Enterprises and
its subsidiaries occupy twelve floors of the building.
Information with respect to the properties of other Pacific
Enterprises' subsidiaries is set forth in Item 1 of this Annual Report.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except for the matters referred to in the financial statements filed
with or incorporated by reference in Item 8 or referred to elsewhere in this
Annual Report, neither Pacific Enterprises nor any of its subsidiaries is a
party to, nor is their property the subject of, any material pending legal
proceedings other than routine litigation incidental to its businesses.
Pacific Enterprises and certain of its directors and former directors
are defendants in seven shareholder actions. Three of the actions are
substantially identical shareholder derivative actions in which Pacific
Enterprises is named only as a nominal defendant. The derivative actions seek
recovery from the defendant directors on behalf of Pacific Enterprises for
damages asserted to have been suffered by Pacific Enterprises by alleged
breaches of fiduciary duties by the directors in connection with Pacific
Enterprises' diversification program. The remaining four actions are shareholder
class actions filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of Pacific
Enterprises between June 5, 1990 and February 4, 1992 and seek recovery from
Pacific Enterprises and the defendant directors for damages asserted to have
been suffered as a result of allegedly improper disclosures under the federal
securities laws. In January 1994, Pacific Enterprises announced an agreement had
been reached to settle the shareholder lawsuits which were originally filed in
February 1992. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, totals $45
million. The settlement and related legal costs, after giving effect to amounts
paid by other parties, had been fully provided in liabilities established in
prior years. Pacific Enterprises is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in
the normal course of business; however, management believes that the resolution
of these pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse
effect on Pacific Enterprises' financial statements.

17. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Pacific Enterprises (Company) is a public utility holding company and parent
of Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas). This section includes
management's analysis of operating results from 1991 through 1993, and is
intended to provide additional information about the Company's financial
performance. This section also focuses on many of the factors that influence
future operating results and discusses future investment and financing plans.
This section should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In 1993, the Company completed a strategic restructuring to refocus on
its natural gas utility and related businesses. This restructuring included
divestiture of its retailing and oil and gas operations in late 1992 and
early 1993, substantial reduction of its corporate overhead and sale of 8
million shares of common stock, the proceeds of which were used to repay all
of the Company's parent bank debt, excluding debt related to the employee
benefit plans, and for other general corporate purposes. The Company resumed
its dividend at a $1.20 per common share annual rate in the third quarter of
1993 after having suspended the regular quarterly dividend in the second
quarter of 1992.
RESULTS OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATIONS. Net income for 1993 was $181 million, or
$2.06 per share of common stock, compared to a net loss of $550 million, or
$7.57 per share, in 1992 and a net loss of $88 million, or $1.45 per share,
in 1991. The net losses resulted from losses from discontinued operations of
$686 million, or $9.17 per share, in 1992 and $255 million, or $3.54 per
share, in 1991. Income from continuing operations was $181 million, or $2.06
per share, $136 million, or $1.60 per share and $167 million, or $2.09 per
share, in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
In 1992, the loss from discontinued operations was primarily due to
losses on disposal of retailing operations of $475 million after-tax and of
oil and gas operations of $156 million after-tax and a provision for
downsizing the Company's corporate operations of $37 million after-tax. In
addition, operating losses from these units were $18 million after-tax. In
connection with the divestitures, the Company effected a quasi-reorganization
for financial reporting purposes effective December 31, 1992. Assets and
liabilities of the remaining entities were adjusted to their fair values and
the accumulated deficit in retained earnings was eliminated by a charge to
capital stock. Fair value adjustments charged to shareholders' equity totaled
$190 million. The financial statements of SoCalGas were not affected by the
quasi-reorganization.
In 1991, the loss from discontinued operations included a write-down of
oil and gas properties of $132 million after-tax, a provision for loss on
disposal of a portion of the retailing operations of $110 million after-tax
and a provision for restructuring at the parent company of $8 million
after-tax.
The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
increased 8 percent to 80.5 million in 1993, following a 4 percent increase
in 1992. The increase in 1993 was due primarily to 8 million shares issued in
a second quarter public offering. The increase in 1992 was due to the
Company's employee benefit and shareholder dividend reinvestment and stock
purchase plans.
Common shareholders' equity per share was $12.19, $9.44 and $19.74 at
December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. The decrease in 1992 was due
to losses from discontinued operations and fair value adjustments related to
the quasi-reorganization.
SOCALGAS FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE. SoCalGas provides natural
gas distribution, transmission and storage in a 23,000-square-mile service
area in southern California and parts of central California.
SoCalGas's markets are separated into core customers and noncore
customers. Core customers include approximately 4.7 million customers (4.5
million residential and 0.2 million smaller commercial and industrial
customers). The noncore market consists of over 1,000 customers which
primarily includes utility electric generation, wholesale, and large
commercial and industrial customers. The noncore customers are sensitive to
the price relationship between natural gas and alternate fuels, and are
capable of readily switching from one fuel to another, subject to air quality
regulations.
Key financial and operating data for SoCalGas are highlighted in the
table below.
(Dollars in Millions) 1993 1992 1991

Net income (after preferred dividends) $184 $188 $204
Authorized return on rate base 9.99% 10.49% 10.79%

Weighted average rate base $2,769 $2,720 $2,663
Growth in weighted average rate base over prior period 1.8% 2.1% 4.5%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SoCalGas has achieved or exceeded the rate of return on rate base
authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for 11
consecutive years. In 1994, SoCalGas is authorized to earn 9.22 percent on
rate base and 11.00 percent on common equity. This compares to authorized
returns of 9.99 percent on rate base and 11.90 percent on common equity in
1993. Rate base is expected to increase approximately 4 percent to 5 percent
in 1994.
18. PACIFIC INTERPRISES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
Net income decreased $4 million in 1993 due primarily to a reduction in
SoCalGas's authorized rate of return on common equity and lower earnings from
the noncore market, partially offset by continued reductions in SoCalGas's
cost of service, including operating and financing costs, and growth in rate
base. During 1992, net income decreased $16 million due primarily to the
recognition in 1991 of a $15 million gain on the 1987 sale of SoCalGas's
former headquarters property. In addition, 1992 results reflect a reduction
in SoCalGas's authorized rate of return on common equity and disallowances
related to its new headquarters, partially offset by growth in rate base and
higher earnings from the noncore market.
The table below summarizes the components of gas revenues.
Sales Transportation and Exchange Total
-------------------- --------------------------- -------------------------
Volume Revenue Volume Revenue Throughput Gas Revenue
(bcf) ($ Millions) (bcf) ($ Millions) (bcf) ($ Millions)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1993 352 2,282 613 492 965 2,774

1991 411 2,607 636 345 1,047 2,952
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The table shows the composition of SoCalGas's throughput and gas revenue
for the past three years. Although the revenues associated with
transportation volumes are less than for gas sales, SoCalGas generally earns
the same margin whether it buys the gas and sells it to the customer or
transports gas already owned by the customer. Throughput, the total gas sales
and transportation volumes moved through SoCalGas's system, is affected by
weather and general economic conditions. In addition, throughput has declined
over the last two years as a result of bypass of SoCalGas's system, primarily
by enhanced oil recovery customers. (See Factors Influencing Future
Performance.) The average commodity cost of gas purchased by SoCalGas,
excluding fixed charges, for 1993 was $2.21 per thousand cubic feet, compared
to $2.24 per thousand cubic feet in 1992 and $2.40 per thousand cubic feet in
1991.
RATEMAKING PROCEDURES. SoCalGas is regulated by the CPUC. It is the
responsibility of the CPUC to determine that utilities operate in the best
interest of the ratepayer with a reasonable profit. The current ratemaking
procedures are summarized below. Some of these procedures would be modified
by the Comprehensive Settlement discussed later in this section.
The return that SoCalGas is authorized to earn is the product of the
authorized rate of return on rate base and the amount of rate base. Rate base
consists primarily of net investment in utility plant. Thus, SoCalGas's
earnings are affected by changes in the authorized rate of return on rate
base and the growth in rate base and by SoCalGas's ability to control
expenses and investment in rate base within the amounts authorized by the
CPUC in setting rates. In addition, achievement of the authorized rate of
return is affected by other regulatory and operating factors.
General rate applications are filed every three years. New rates
emanating from SoCalGas's most recent rate case went into effect on January
1, 1994. In a general rate case, the CPUC establishes a margin, which is the
amount of revenue authorized to be collected from customers to recover
authorized operating expenses (other than the cost of gas), depreciation,
interest, taxes and return on rate base.
In a process referred to as the annual attrition allowance, the CPUC
annually adjusts rates for years between general rate cases to cover the
effects of inflation and changes in rate base. Separate proceedings are held
annually to review SoCalGas's cost of capital, including return on common
equity, interest costs and changes in capital structure.
The CPUC separately reviews and issues decisions on the reasonableness
of various aspects of SoCalGas's operations. The CPUC has disallowed costs it
determined to be imprudent, and further disallowances are possible in the
future.
In the biennial cost allocation proceeding (BCAP), the CPUC specifies
for each two-year period the allocation of total margin to be collected from
SoCalGas's core and noncore customer classes and the expected volumes of gas
each customer class will consume annually. SoCalGas maintains regulatory
accounts to accumulate undercollections and overcollections from customers
and makes periodic filings with the CPUC to adjust future gas rates to
account for variances between forecasted and actual gas costs and deliveries.
In August 1993, SoCalGas filed a $134 million rate increase with the CPUC.
Included in this BCAP filing is a rate structure designed to further reduce
subsidies by nonresidential core customers to residential customers by better
aligning residential rates with the cost of providing residential service.
The CPUC, in an interim decision, granted SoCalGas a $121 million revenue
increase effective January 1, 1994. A final CPUC decision is expected in
mid-1994.
For the core market, the regulatory procedures provide for recording
margin ratably each month. The BCAP balancing account procedure, which
substantially eliminates the effect on income of variances in gas costs and
volumes sold, allows SoCalGas to increase rates for increased gas acquisition
costs or for revenue
19. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
shortfalls due to reductions in demand by core customers. Conversely,
SoCalGas reduces rates for decreased gas acquisition costs or for higher than
projected revenues from increases in demand by core customers.
For the noncore market, the CPUC has created a risk-and-reward
mechanism. Earnings may be enhanced by delivering higher than forecast gas
volumes to noncore customers. Conversely, SoCalGas is at risk for unfavorable
variances in noncore volumes or pricing. This upside and downside earnings
potential in the noncore market was limited by the CPUC's procurement
rulemaking decision in August 1991. This decision significantly reduced
SoCalGas's gas procurement activities on behalf of noncore customers and
adopted new service level options and rate structures. It also included a
provision for balancing account treatment for 75 percent of any
undercollection or overcollection in the recovery of noncore margin and other
costs, as compared to what was designated by the CPUC, to be recovered or
returned in rates at a later date. The CPUC's revised noncore rate design
generally provides for single, rolled-in, volumetric rates, which include
use-or-pay provisions in lieu of rates with demand charges.
The collection of up-front demand charges had provided compensation to
SoCalGas for standing ready to provide a contracted level of service and
buffered the potential earnings loss from lower than forecast volumes in the
noncore market. Under certain conditions, noncore rates, including demand
charges, and terms of service are negotiable.
REGULATORY ACTIVITY. On December 17, 1993, the CPUC issued its decision in
SoCalGas's 1994 general rate case which authorized a net $97 million rate
reduction. SoCalGas plans to attempt to adjust its operations with the
intention of operating within the amounts authorized in rates. Approximately
$21 million of the rate reduction represents productivity improvements. Other
items include non-operational issues, primarily reductions in marketing
programs and income tax effects of the rate reduction. The decision also
includes the effects of the reduction of SoCalGas's rate of return authorized
in its 1994 cost of capital proceeding, which increased the total reduction
in rates to $132 million. New rates emanating from the decision became
effective on January 1, 1994.
RESTRUCTURING OF GAS SUPPLY CONTRACTS. SoCalGas and the Company's gas supply
subsidiaries have reached agreements with suppliers of California offshore
and Canadian gas for a restructuring of long-term gas supply contracts. The
cost of these supplies to SoCalGas has been substantially in excess of
SoCalGas's average delivered cost of gas. During 1993, these excess costs
totaled approximately $125 million.
The new agreements substantially reduce the ongoing delivered costs of
these gas supplies and provide lump sum settlement payments of $375 million
to the suppliers. The expiration date for the Canadian gas supply contract
has been shortened from 2012 to 2003, and the supplier of California offshore
gas continues to have an option to purchase related gas treatment and
pipeline facilities owned by the Company's gas supply subsidiary. The
agreement with the suppliers of Canadian gas is subject to certain Canadian
regulatory and other approvals.
COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF REGULATORY ISSUES. SoCalGas and a number of
interested parties (including the Division of Ratepayer Advocates of the
CPUC, large noncore customers and ratepayer groups) have proposed for CPUC
approval a comprehensive settlement (Comprehensive Settlement) of a number of
pending regulatory issues including partial rate recovery of restructuring
costs associated with the gas supply contracts discussed above. The
Comprehensive Settlement, if approved by the CPUC, would permit SoCalGas to
recover in utility rates approximately 80 percent of its contract
restructuring costs of $375 million and accelerated depreciation of related
pipeline assets of approximately $130 million, together with interest, over a
period of approximately five years. SoCalGas has filed a financing
application with the CPUC primarily for the borrowing of $425 million to
provide for funds needed under the Comprehensive Settlement. In addition to
the gas supply issues, the Comprehensive Settlement addresses the following
other regulatory issues:
- - NONCORE CUSTOMER RATES. The Comprehensive Settlement also contemplates
changes in the CPUC ratemaking procedures for determining rates to be
charged by SoCalGas to its customers for the five-year period commencing
with the approval of the Comprehensive Settlement by the CPUC. Rates
charged to the customers would be established based upon SoCalGas's
recorded throughput to these customers for 1991. The existing limited
regulatory balancing account treatment for variances in noncore volumes
from those estimated in establishing rates would be eliminated subject
to a crediting mechanism for noncore revenues in excess of certain
limits. Consequently, SoCalGas would bear the full risk of any declines
in noncore deliveries from 1991 levels. Any revenue enhancement from
deliveries in excess of 1991 levels will be limited by a crediting
account mechanism that will require a credit to customers of 87.5
percent of revenues in excess of certain limits. These annual limits
above which the credit is applicable increase from $11 million to $19
million over the five-year period to which the Comprehensive Settlement
is applicable.
20. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
- - REASONABLENESS REVIEWS. The Comprehensive Settlement contemplates the
settlement of all pending CPUC reasonableness reviews with respect to
SoCalGas's gas purchases from 1989 through 1992 as well as
certain other future reasonableness review issues. The Comprehensive
Settlement also allows recovery of future excess interstate pipeline
capacity costs in SoCalGas rates.
- - GAS COST INCENTIVE MECHANISM. The Comprehensive Settlement contemplates
that a gas cost incentive mechanism (GCIM) would be implemented with an
initial term of three years. Gas costs in excess of a tolerance band
over average market price would be shared equally between ratepayers and
SoCalGas. Savings from gas purchased below the average market price
would be also shared equally between the ratepayers and SoCalGas. The
GCIM would provide a 4 1/2 percent tolerance band in 1994 and a 4 percent
tolerance band in 1995 and 1996. The GCIM is intended to replace the
current gas procurement reasonableness review process.
- - ATTRITION ALLOWANCES. The Comprehensive Settlement contemplates that
SoCalGas may receive annual allowances for operational attrition for
1995 and 1996 only to the extent that the annual inflation rate for
those years exceeds 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively. This is a
departure from past regulatory practice of allowing recovery of the full
effect of inflation in rates. SoCalGas intends to continue to attempt to
control operating expenses and investment in those years to amounts
authorized in rates to offset the effect of this regulatory change.
The Company believes the Comprehensive Settlement will be approved by
the CPUC; therefore, it has been reflected in the Company's financial
statements. Approximately $465 million is included in Regulatory Accounts
Receivable and Regulatory Assets for the recovery of costs as provided in the
Comprehensive Settlement. Upon giving effect to liabilities previously
recognized at the Company and SoCalGas, the costs of the Comprehensive
Settlement, including the restructuring of gas supply contracts, did not
result in any additional charge to the Company's consolidated earnings. In
the event the Comprehensive Settlement is not approved by the CPUC, SoCalGas
will seek other regulatory approvals for the recovery of these costs.
FERC REGULATED SUBSIDIARIES. The Company's interstate pipeline subsidiaries
purchase natural gas from producers in Canada and from federal waters
offshore California and transport it for resale to SoCalGas. During 1993,
these deliveries from the interstate pipeline subsidiaries accounted for
approximately 26 percent of the total volume of gas purchased by SoCalGas and
approximately 10 percent of SoCalGas's total throughput. The gas is purchased
under long-term contracts with producers which have recently been
restructured in conjunction with the Comprehensive Settlement described
above. The activities of these companies have been regulated by the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which has approved tariffs that provide
for the recovery of virtually all costs related to the purchase and delivery
of natural gas purchased under these contracts. In August 1993, the FERC
issued an order which disclaimed regulation of one of the subsidiaries.
Management does not anticipate this change will have any financial impact on
the Company's operations.
FACTORS INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE. Based on existing ratemaking
policies, future SoCalGas earnings and cash flow will be determined primarily
by the allowed rate of return on common equity, the growth in rate base,
noncore pricing and the variance in gas volumes delivered to these customers
versus CPUC-adopted forecast deliveries, the recovery of gas and contract
restructuring costs if the Comprehensive Settlement is not approved and the
ability of management to control expenses and investment in line with the
amounts authorized by the CPUC to be collected in rates. Also, the Company's
ability to earn revenues in excess of SoCalGas's authorized return from
noncore customers due to volume increases will be eliminated for the five
years of the Comprehensive Settlement described above. This is because
forecasted deliveries in excess of the 1991 throughput levels used to
establish rates were contemplated in estimating the costs of the
Comprehensive Settlement, and are reflected in current year liabilities. The
impact of any future regulatory restructuring and increased competitiveness
in the industry, including the continuing threat of customers bypassing
SoCalGas's system and obtaining service directly from interstate pipelines,
can also affect SoCalGas's performance.
SoCalGas's earnings for 1994 will be affected by the reduction in the
authorized rate of return on common equity, reflecting the overall decline in
cost of capital offset by higher rate base than in 1993. For 1994, SoCalGas
is authorized to earn a rate of return on rate base of 9.22 percent and an
11.00 percent rate of return on common equity compared to 9.99 percent and
11.90 percent, respectively, in 1993. Rate base is expected to increase by
approximately 4 percent to 5 percent in 1994. At 1994 authorized levels, a 1
percent change in weighted average rate base changes earnings by
approximately $.02 per share. A change in the authorized return on common
equity of 1 percent changes earnings approximately $.17 per share.
Since the completion of the Kern River/Mojave Interstate Pipeline
(Mojave) in February 1992, SoCalGas's throughput to customers in the Kern
County area who use natural gas to produce steam for enhanced oil recovery
projects has decreased significantly because of the bypass of SoCalGas's
system. Mojave now
21. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
delivers to customers formerly served by SoCalGas 350 million to 400 million
cubic feet per day. The decrease in revenues from enhanced oil recovery
customers is subject to full balancing account treatment, except for a 5
percent incentive to SoCalGas for attaining certain throughput levels, and
therefore, does not have a material impact on SoCalGas's earnings. However,
bypass of other markets may also occur as a result of plans by Mojave to
extend its pipeline north to Sacramento through portions of SoCalGas's
service territory. The effect of bypass is to increase SoCalGas's rates to
other customers and thus make its natural gas service less competitive with
that of competing pipelines and available alternate fuels.
In response to bypass, SoCalGas has received authorization from the CPUC
for expedited review of price discounts proposed for long-term gas
transportation contracts with some noncore customers. In addition, in
December 1992, the CPUC approved changes in the methodology for allocating
SoCalGas's costs between core and noncore customers to reduce subsidization
of core customer rates by noncore customers. Effective in June 1993, these
new rate changes implemented the CPUC's policy known as "long-run marginal
cost." The revised methodologies have resulted in a reduction of noncore
rates and a corresponding increase in core rates that better reflects the
cost of serving each customer class and, together with price discounting
authority, has enabled SoCalGas to better compete with interstate pipelines
for noncore customers. In addition, in August 1993 a capacity brokering
program was implemented. Under the program, for a fee, SoCalGas provides to
noncore customers, or others, a portion of its control of interstate pipeline
capacity to allow more direct access to producers. Also, the Comprehensive
Settlement will help SoCalGas's competitiveness by reducing the cost of
transportation service to noncore customers.
Over the past 11 years, management has been able to control operating
expenses and investment within the amounts authorized to be collected in
rates and intends to continue to do so. However, it may not be able to
accomplish this goal. It also bears the risk of nonrecovery of margin or
other costs authorized by the CPUC for the noncore market subject to the
Comprehensive Settlement as discussed above. Unanticipated sharp increases in
the inflation rate could also reduce earnings and cash flow. This possibility
is increased with the limits on attrition allowance in 1995 and 1996 under
the proposed Comprehensive Settlement.
SoCalGas's earnings are subject to variability depending on gas
throughput for its noncore customers. There is a continuing risk that an
unfavorable variance in noncore volumes can result from external factors such
as weather, the use of increased hydroelectric power, the price relationship
between alternative fuels and natural gas and the operational capacity and/or
competing pipeline bypass of SoCalGas's system. In these cases SoCalGas is at
risk for the lost revenue. In addition, although an economic downturn or
recession does not affect SoCalGas as significantly as nonregulated
businesses, there is a risk that an unfavorable variance in the noncore
volumes can result.
SoCalGas's operations are affected by a growing number of environmental
laws and regulations. These laws and regulations affect current operations as
well as future expansion and also require clean up of facilities no longer in
use. Because of expected regulatory treatment, SoCalGas believes that
compliance with these laws will not have a significant impact on its
financial statements. For further discussion of regulatory and environmental
matters, see Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
SoCalGas employs approximately 9,000 persons. Most field, clerical and
technical employees are represented by the Utility Workers' Union of America
or the International Chemical Workers' Union. Collective bargaining
agreements covering these approximately 6,400 employees expired on June 30,
1993, principally as a consequence of failure to reach agreement with respect
to SoCalGas's proposal to permit the use of outside contractors for certain
services now being provided by union represented employees, if costs could
not be lowered to an amount that would be incurred through the use of outside
contractors. In August 1993, after reaching an impasse, SoCalGas unilaterally
implemented the majority of the proposals that were on the table during the
union negotiations. Since there is no contract currently in effect, the no
strike/no lock-out provisions of the collective bargaining agreements are no
longer in effect and no assurance can be given that a new collective
bargaining agreement will be concluded or that picketing, work stoppages or a
strike may not occur. However, SoCalGas anticipates that it would be able to
provide essential levels of utility service during any work stoppages and any
work stoppages would not materially affect its results of operations. A
revised contract along the lines previously implemented was submitted to
union members for a vote in February, 1994, but results were not available
as this report was being printed.
On January 17, 1994, SoCalGas's service area was struck by a major
earthquake. The result was a temporary disruption to approximately 150,000 of
its customers and damage to some facilities. The financial impact of the
damages related to the earthquake not recovered by insurance is expected to
be recovered in rates under an existing balancing account mechanism, and
should have no impact on the Company's financial statements.
OTHER OPERATIONS. Other operations include Pacific Energy, Pacific
Enterprises Leasing Company, the Company's partnership interest in its
headquarters building and other miscellaneous activities. Pacific Energy
develops and operates alternate energy facilities and operates centralized
heating and air conditioning plants. Pacific Enterprises Leasing Company
manages leases of commercial and industrial equipment and
22. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (CONTINUED)
manages a portfolio of commercial loans secured by real estate. The Company
is phasing out the activities of Pacific Enterprises Leasing Company.
Net income of other operations was $10 million in 1993 compared to net
losses of $4 million in 1992 and $8 million in 1991. The increase from the
prior year is due primarily to the reduction of amortization expense in 1993
resulting from the quasi-reorganization and a liability provided for
leveraged leases at Pacific Enterprises Leasing Company in 1992. Results in
1991 include a loss of $21 million at a small sporting goods manufacturing
and wholesaling subsidiary which has been liquidated.
PARENT COMPANY. During 1993, 1992 and 1991, net losses were $17 million, $52
million and $51 million, including $17 million, $23 million and $34 million
of interest expense after-tax, respectively. The decrease from 1992 to 1993
is due to reductions in parent company workforce and other cost reduction
measures, tax benefits of $8 million for the federal tax rate change in 1993
and provisions for parent downsizing costs recorded in 1991 and 1992. The
increase from 1991 to 1992 is primarily due to favorable tax events in 1991.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Capital expenditures for continuing operations were
$331 million, $329 million and $335 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively. Capital expenditures are estimated to be $350 million in 1994
and will be financed primarily by internally-generated funds and by issuance
of long-term debt. Capital expenditures primarily represent investment into
SoCalGas operations.
LIQUIDITY AND DIVIDENDS. On May 26, 1993, the Company completed an
underwritten public offering and sale of 8 million shares of common stock. As
a result of the sale of discontinued operations, the Company has
significantly reduced cash requirements. The proceeds from the sales,
including tax benefits together with cash provided by continuing operations
and sale of common stock, were used to repay the Company's parent bank debt,
excluding debt related to the employee benefit plans, and for other general
corporate purposes. The consolidated cash balance at December 31, 1993 was
$152 million which includes $133 million of cash at the parent.
Interest expense for continuing operations was $135 million, $157
million and $136 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Interest
expense in 1993 was reduced from its 1992 levels as a result of payment of
nonutility debt and refinancing of SoCalGas debt at lower interest rates.
Interest expense in 1991 was reduced by the reversal of tax related interest
accruals.
In 1993, as a result of the Comprehensive Settlement, Accounts
Payable-Other includes the liability for lump sum settlement payments of $375
million to restructure long-term gas supply contracts; Property, Plant and
Equipment-Net has been reduced for accelerated amortization of related
pipeline assets of $130 million; and Regulatory Assets includes the long-term
portion of the accrual of amounts to be recovered in rates. Regulatory
Accounts Receivable increased in 1993 and 1992 reflecting higher
undercollections under the BCAP balancing account procedures due primarily to
throughput falling below CPUC-adopted forecast levels. The 1993 balance also
includes the current portion of the accrual for the Comprehensive Settlement
and undercollections for the transition costs in connection with the capacity
brokering program.
The Company expects to incur additional borrowings of up to
approximately $425 million to finance the Comprehensive Settlement, at which
time approximately $50 million of debt at the gas supply subsidiaries will be
retired. Borrowings are expected to include primarily commercial paper and
medium-term notes. The Company has no plans to issue additional debt beyond
that required by the Comprehensive Settlement and up to $100 million to
finance ongoing utility operations.
As a result of the losses from discontinued operations, the Company has
a remaining net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes
of approximately $237 million at December 31, 1993. Based on expected taxable
income from continuing operations, the Company expects to realize fully the
$83 million in tax benefits associated with the net operating loss
carryforward. (See Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)
In January 1994, the Company announced an agreement had been reached to
settle pending shareholder lawsuits originally filed in February 1992. An
amount sufficient to cover the settlement had been fully reserved in
liabilities established in prior years.
In 1993, the Company paid dividends on common and preferred stock of $65
million. This included common dividends of $.30 per share in the third and
fourth quarters of 1993. This compares to $48 million in 1992 and $203
million in 1991. The increase in 1993 was due to the resumption of common
dividends, effective with the third quarter of 1993. The decrease in 1992 was
due to common dividends being suspended, effective with the second quarter of
1992.
The payment of future dividends will depend upon the existence of funds
legally available for dividends (primarily retained earnings), the prior
payment of dividends on Preferred Stock and Class A Preferred Stock, the
Company's then existing and anticipated financial condition and results of
operations, then existing and anticipated business conditions, capital
requirements, opportunities and prospects, and such other factors as the
Board of Directors may from time to time deem relevant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of all subsidiaries. Investments in 50-percent-or-less owned
joint ventures and partnerships are accounted for by the equity method.
RESTATEMENTS AND RECLASSIFICATION. Certain changes in account classification
have been made in the prior years' consolidated financial statements to
conform to the 1993 financial statement presentation.
REGULATION. Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas) follows accounting
policies prescribed or authorized by the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC). Interstate natural gas transmission subsidiaries follow
accounting policies prescribed or authorized by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC).
INVENTORIES. Gas in storage inventory is stated at last-in, first-out (LIFO)
cost. As a result of the regulatory accounting procedure, the pricing of gas
in storage does not have any effect on net income. If the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method of accounting for gas in storage inventory had been used by
SoCalGas, inventory would have been higher than reported at December 31, 1993
and 1992 by $58 million and $66 million, respectively. Other inventories are
generally stated at the lower of cost, determined on an average cost basis,
or market.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT. The costs of additions, renewals and
improvements to utility plant are charged to the appropriate plant accounts.
These costs include labor, material, other direct costs, indirect charges,
and an allowance for funds used during construction. The cost of utility
plant retired or otherwise disposed of, plus removal costs and less salvage,
is charged to accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recorded on the
straight-line remaining-life basis.
OTHER. Cash equivalents include short-term investments purchased with
maturities of less than 90 days. Interest of $7 million in 1993, $6 million
in 1992 and $5 million in 1991 was capitalized. Certain assets and
liabilities of a real estate finance subsidiary which is being phased out are
shown on a net basis. Other major accounting policies are included in the
following notes.
2. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND QUASI-REORGANIZATION
The Company has implemented a strategic plan to refocus on its natural gas
utility and related businesses. The strategy has included the divestiture of
its retailing operations and substantially all of its oil and gas exploration
and production business in late 1992 and early 1993.
Retailing operations were sold in several transactions for net cash
proceeds of approximately $50 million, and related tax benefits of
approximately $225 million. The Company also received warrants, which expire
in three to five years, to purchase 10 percent of the shares of the
purchasers of the sold companies. In connection with the sale, the Company
assumed Thrifty's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and related
indebtedness (see Notes 8 and 12), and is entitled to quarterly payments from
the buyer as shares are released to participant accounts.
In the fourth quarter of 1991, the Company provided a charge of $110
million ($110 million after-tax, or $1.53 per share) for the loss on disposal
of a portion of its retailing operations, and in the first quarter of 1992,
provided an additional charge of $730 million ($475 million after-tax, or
$6.45 per share) for the loss on disposal of the remaining retailing
operations. Revenues from the retailing operations were $2,091 million for
1992 (through September 25, the date of sale) and $3,253 million for 1991.
The loss from the discontinued retailing operations was $28 million for 1992
and $81 million for 1991, net of related income tax benefits of $12 million
and $50 million, respectively.
Oil and gas exploration and production operations were sold in two
separate transactions for net cash proceeds of $410 million in late 1992 and
early 1993. In the second quarter of 1992, the Company provided a charge of
$232 million ($156 million after tax, or $2.09 per share) for the loss on
disposal. Annual revenues from the oil and gas operations were $232 million
for 1992 and $324 million for 1991. The income (loss) from the discontinued
oil and gas operations was $10 million for 1992 and $(56) million for 1991,
net of related income tax benefits (expense) of $(4) million and $10 million,
respectively.
The Company also charged to the loss on disposal of discontinued
operations the costs from downsizing its corporate operations of $37 million
in 1992 and $8 million in 1991, net of related income tax benefits of $24
million and $5 million, respectively.
Interest expense of $47 million and $69 million in 1992 and 1991,
respectively, was allocated to discontinued operations. These allocations
were based on net assets of the discontinued operations, in relation to
consolidated net assets.
The sold retailing and oil and gas segments have been reported as
discontinued operations in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 2, 1993, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a
resolution approving a quasi-reorganization for financial reporting purposes
effective December 31, 1992. The quasi-reorganization resulted in a
30. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES

restatement of the assets and liabilities to their estimated fair value at
December 31, 1992 and the elimination of the Company's retained earnings
deficit by a reduction of $452 million in the common stock account. This
restatement resulted in a net after-tax charge to the common stock account of
$190 million, representing $53 million related to the Company's ownership
interest and occupancy of the Company's headquarters building, $50 million
for undeveloped mineral interests and real estate, $43 million for alternate
energy plants, $18 million for financial instruments and $26 million for
other adjustments, including gas contract issues. The financial statements of
SoCalGas were not affected by the quasi-reorganization.
Certain of the liabilities established in connection with discontinued
operations and the quasi-reorganization will be resolved in future years. As
of December 31, 1993, the provisions previously established for these matters
are adequate.
3. INCOME TAXES
In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the effect of which was not material.
A reconciliation of the difference between computed statutory federal
income tax expense and actual income tax expense for continuing operations is
as follows:

As a result of the losses from discontinued operations, the Company has a net
operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes at December 31,
1993 of approximately $237 million, which expires in 2007. The tax benefit of
$83 million related to the net operating loss is included in deferred taxes.
No valuation allowance has been provided for deferred tax assets since they
are expected to be realized through either reversal of existing temporary
differences or future taxable income.
SoCalGas generally provides for income taxes on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid currently, except for the provision for deferred taxes on
regulatory accounts, customer advances for construction and accelerated
depreciation of property placed in service after 1980. In addition, SoCalGas
recognizes certain other deferred tax liabilities (primarily accelerated
depreciation of property placed in service prior to 1981 and deferred
investment tax credits) which are expected to be recovered through future
rates. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, $109 million and $105 million,
respectively, of deferred income taxes have been offset by an equivalent
amount in regulatory assets.
4. RESTRUCTURING OF GAS SUPPLY CONTRACTS AND COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF
REGULATORY ISSUES
RESTRUCTURING OF GAS SUPPLY CONTRACTS. SoCalGas and the Company's gas
supply subsidiaries have reached agreements with suppliers of California
offshore and Canadian gas for a restructuring of long-term gas supply
contracts. The cost of these supplies to SoCalGas has been substantially in
excess of SoCalGas's average delivered cost of gas. During 1993, these excess
costs totaled approximately $125 million.
The agreements substantially reduce the ongoing delivered costs of these
gas supplies and provide lump sum settlement payments of $375 million to the
suppliers. The expiration date for the Canadian gas supply contract has been
shortened from 2012 to 2003, and the supplier of California offshore gas
continues to have an option to purchase related gas treatment and pipeline
facilities owned by the Company's gas supply subsidiary. The agreement with
the suppliers of Canadian gas is subject to certain Canadian regulatory and
other approvals.
COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF REGULATORY ISSUES. SoCalGas and a number of
interested parties (including the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA) of
the CPUC, large noncore customers and ratepayer groups) have proposed for
CPUC approval a comprehensive settlement of a number of pending regulatory
issues including partial rate recovery of restructuring costs associated with
the gas supply contracts discussed above. The Comprehensive Settlement, if
approved by the CPUC, would permit SoCalGas to recover in utility rates
approximately 80 percent of its contract restructuring costs of $375 million
and accelerated amortization of related pipeline assets of approximately $130
million, together with interest, over a period of approximately five years.
SoCalGas has filed a financing application with the CPUC primarily for the
borrowing of $425 million to provide for funds needed under the Comprehensive
Settlement. In addition to the gas supply issues, the Comprehensive
Settlement addresses the following other regulatory issues:
- - NONCORE CUSTOMER RATES. The Comprehensive Settlement also contemplates
changes in the CPUC ratemaking procedures for determining rates to be
charged by SoCalGas to its customers for the five-year period commencing
with the approval of the Comprehensive Settlement by the CPUC. Rates
charged to the customers would be established based upon SoCalGas's
recorded throughput to these customers for 1991. The existing limited
regulatory balancing account treatment for variances in noncore volumes
from those estimated in establishing rates would be eliminated subject
to a crediting mechanism for noncore revenues in excess of certain
limits. Consequently, SoCalGas would bear the full risk of any declines
in noncore
32. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINNACIAL STATEMETNS (CONTINUED)
4. RESTRUCTURING OF GAS SUPPLY CONTRACTS AND COMPREHENSIVE SETTLEMENT OF
REGULATORY ISSUES (CONTINUED)
deliveries from 1991 levels. Any revenue enhancement from deliveries in
excess of 1991 levels will be limited by a crediting account mechanism
that will require a credit to customers of 87.5 percent of revenues in
excess of certain limits. These annual limits above which the credit is
applicable increase from $11 million to $19 million over the five-year
period to which the Comprehensive Settlement is applicable.
- - REASONABLENESS REVIEWS. The Comprehensive Settlement contemplates the
settlement of all pending CPUC reasonableness reviews with respect to
SoCalGas's gas purchases from 1989 through 1992 as well as certain other
future reasonableness review issues. The Comprehensive Settlement also
allows recovery of future excess interstate pipeline capacity costs in
SoCalGas rates.
- - GAS COST INCENTIVE MECHANISM. The Comprehensive Settlement contemplates
that a gas cost incentive mechanism (GCIM) would be implemented with an
initial term of three years. Gas costs in excess of a tolerance band
over average market price would be shared equally between ratepayers and
SoCalGas. Savings from gas purchased below the average market price
would be also shared equally between the ratepayers and SoCalGas. The
GCIM would provide a 4 1/2 percent tolerance band in 1994 and a 4 percent
tolerance band in 1995 and 1996. The GCIM is intended to replace the
current gas procurement reasonableness review process.
- - ATTRITION ALLOWANCES. The Comprehensive Settlement contemplates that
SoCalGas may receive annual allowances for operational attrition for
1995 and 1996 only to the extent that the annual inflation rate for
those years exceeds 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively. This is a
departure from past regulatory practice of allowing recovery of the full
effect of inflation in rates. SoCalGas intends to continue to attempt to
control operating expenses and investment in those years to amounts
authorized in rates to offset the effect of this regulatory change.
The Company believes the Comprehensive Settlement will be approved by
the CPUC and; therefore, it has been reflected in the Company's financial
statements. Approximately $465 million is included in Regulatory Accounts
Receivable and Regulatory Assets for the recovery of costs as provided in the
Comprehensive Settlement. Accounts Payable-Other includes the liability for
lump sum settlement payments of $375 million to restructure long-term gas
supply contracts. Property, Plant and Equipment-Net has been reduced for
accelerated amortization of pipeline related assets of $130 million. Upon
giving effect to liabilities previously recognized at the Company and
SoCalGas, the costs of the Comprehensive Settlement, including the
restructuring of gas supply contracts, did not result in any additional
charge to the Company's consolidated earnings. In the event the Comprehensive
Settlement is not approved by the CPUC, SoCalGas will seek other regulatory
approvals for the recovery of these costs.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS. SoCalGas has identified and reported to
California environmental authorities 42 former gas manufacturing sites for
which it (together with other utilities as to 21 of the sites) may have
remedial obligations under environmental laws. In addition, SoCalGas is one
of a large number of major corporations that have been named by federal
authorities as potentially responsible parties for environmental remediation
of two other industrial sites and a landfill site. These 45 sites are in
various stages of investigation or remediation. It is anticipated that the
investigation and, if necessary, remediation of these sites will be completed
over a period of from 10 years to 20 years.
The CPUC approved approximately $9 million in SoCalGas's base rates for
expenditures beginning in 1990 through 1993 associated with investigating
these sites. In addition, the CPUC previously has approved a special
ratemaking procedure with respect to environmental remediation costs under
which, upon approval by the CPUC on a site-by-site basis, these costs are
accumulated for recovery in future rates subject to a reasonableness review.
However, in a decision issued in late 1992 in connection with its initial
reasonableness review of these costs, the CPUC concluded that SoCalGas had
failed to demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, the reasonableness
for rate recovery of the applied for remediation costs under the existing
ratemaking procedure. The decision concluded that a reasonableness review
procedure may not be appropriate for rate recovery of environmental
remediation costs. In addition, the CPUC ordered SoCalGas along with other
California energy utilities and the DRA to work toward the development of an
alternate ratemaking procedure including cost sharing between shareholder and
ratepayers.
In November 1993, a collaborative settlement agreement between the above
parties was submitted to the CPUC for approval that recommends a ratemaking
mechanism that would provide recovery of 90 percent of environmental
investigation and remediation costs without reasonableness review. In
addition, the utilities
33. PACIFIC ENTERPRISES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)
would have the opportunity to retain a percentage of any insurance recoveries
to offset the 10 percent of costs not recovered in rates. A CPUC decision is
expected in mid-1994.
Through the end of 1993, preliminary investigations at 33 sites have
been completed by SoCalGas, and investigation and remediation liabilities are
estimated to be $82 million for all 45 sites. The liability estimated for
these sites is subject to future adjustment pending further investigation. In
1993 and 1992 the Company charged $7 million and $5 million, respectively, to
income and the remaining amount is included in Regulatory Assets. The Company
believes that any costs not ultimately recovered through rates, insurance or
other means, upon giving effect to previously established liabilities, will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
LITIGATION. The Company and certain of its officers, directors and former
directors are defendants in seven shareholder actions. Three of the actions
are substantially identical shareholder derivative actions in which the
Company is named only as a nominal defendant. The derivative actions seek
recovery from the defendant directors on behalf of the Company for damages
asserted to have been suffered by the Company by alleged breaches of
fiduciary duties by the directors in connection with the Company's
diversification program. The remaining four actions are shareholder class
actions filed on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Company
between June 5, 1990 and February 4, 1992 and seek recovery from the Company
and the defendant directors for damages asserted to have been suffered as a
result of allegedly improper disclosures under the federal securities laws.
In January 1994, the Company announced an agreement had been reached to
settle the shareholder lawsuits which were originally filed in February 1992.
The settlement, which is subject to court approval, totals $45 million. The
settlement and related legal costs, after giving effect to amounts paid by
other parties, had been fully provided in liabilities established in prior
years.
The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the normal
course of business; however, management believes that the resolution of these
pending claims and legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial statements.
OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. On January 17, 1994, SoCalGas's
service area was struck by a major earthquake. The result was a disruption in
service to less than 3 percent of its customers at any given time and damage
to some facilities. The financial impact of the damages related to the
earthquake not recovered by insurance are expected to be recovered in rates
under an existing regulatory mechanism, and should have no impact on the
Company's financial statements.
At December 31, 1993, commitments for capital expenditures were
approximately $30 million.
6. LEASES
The Company and its subsidiaries have leases on real and personal property
expiring at various dates from 1994 to 2011. The rentals payable under these
leases are determined on both fixed and percentage bases and most leases
contain options to extend which are exercisable by the Company or the
subsidiaries.
Rental expense under operating leases was $63 million, $62 million and
$46 million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
The following is a schedule of future minimum operating lease
commitments as of December 31, 1993:

In connection with the quasi-reorganization (see Note 2) and loss on disposal
of discontinued operations (see Note 2), the Company established reserves of
$102 million to fair value operating leases related to its headquarters and
other leases at December 31, 1992. The amount of these reserves was $97
million at December 31, 1993.

7. COMPENSATING BALANCES AND SHORT-TERM BORROWING ARRANGEMENTS
The parent has $400 million of unsecured revolving credit with banks, which
have terms longer than one year and require fees of .250 percent per annum.
SoCalGas has an additional $825 million of unsecured revolving lines of
credit, of which $325 million is a multi-year credit agreement requiring
annual fees of .125 percent and $500 million is a 364 day credit agreement
requiring annual fees of .10 percent. At December 31, 1993 all bank lines of
credit were unused. The unused bank lines of credit support SoCalGas's
commercial paper program and provide liquidity for the Company.
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company's short-term debt of $267
million and $215 million, respectively, consists of SoCalGas commercial paper
obligations. The weighted average annual interest rate of commercial paper
obligations outstanding was 3.25 percent and 3.81 percent at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
The annual principal payment requirements, after deduction of long-term
debt held in treasury and including sinking fund payments, of long-term debt
for the years 1995 through 1998 are $90 million, $99 million, $151 million,
and $151 million, respectively. Substantially all of utility plant serves as
collateral for the First Mortgage Bonds, and certain assets of the nonutility
subsidiaries are pledged as collateral for their obligations.
During 1992, SoCalGas established irrevocable trusts to satisfy future
principal and interest payments related to $200 million of its first mortgage
bonds. The first mortgage bonds, accrued interest thereon and related
unamortized debt discount were removed from the 1992 Consolidated Balance
Sheet in an in-substance defeasance transaction.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN AND TRUST (TRUST) (SEE NOTE 12).
The trust has an ESOP feature and covers substantially all employees.
The variable rate ESOP debt bears interest at a rate necessary to place or
remarket the notes at par. Principal is payable annually and interest is
payable monthly through 1999.
The trust holds approximately 3 million shares of common stock of the
Company. These shares are treated as outstanding shares in the financial
statements of the Company. The trust is used to fund the Company's retirement
savings plan program.
The Company is obligated to make contributions sufficient to satisfy
debt service requirements. This obligation is recorded as long-term debt,
with a corresponding reduction to shareholders' equity. As the trust repays
its debt, the liability will be reduced with a corresponding increase to
shareholders' equity. The trust debt is secured by letters of credit issued
by banks which expire in April 1996.
As the Company makes contributions to the trust, these contributions,
plus any dividends paid on the Company's common stock held by the trust, will
be used to repay the debt. As dividends are increased or decreased, required
contributions are reduced or increased, respectively. Interest on ESOP debt
amounted to $6 million in 1993, $8 million in 1992 and $10 million in 1991.
Dividends used for debt service amounted to $2 million, $2 million and $15
million in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, and are deductible for federal
income tax purposes.
CURRENCY AND INTEREST RATE SWAPS. In February 1986, SoCalGas issued SFr.
100 million of 5 1/8 percent bonds which will mature on February 6, 1998.
SoCalGas has entered into a swap transaction with a major international bank
to hedge the currency exposure. The terms of the swap result in a U.S. dollar
liability of $47 million at an interest rate of 9.725 percent with the
principal payable on February 6, 1998.
In May 1986, SoCalGas issued SFr. 150 million of 7 1/2 percent Foreign
Interest Payment Securities which are renewable at 10-year intervals at reset
interest rates. Interest is payable in U.S. dollars. The principal was
exchanged into $75 million at an exchange rate of 1.9925, which is also the
minimum rate of exchange for determining the amount of principal repayable in
Swiss francs.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to reduce the
impact of fluctuations in interest rates on its floating rate debt. The
differential of interest to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates
change and is recognized over the life of the agreements.
During 1993 and 1992, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps
related to continuing operations which effectively set $100 million of ESOP
debt to a fixed 7.3 percent until September 15, 1995 and $50 million of its
commercial paper to a fixed 9.448 percent until December 15, 1992. At
December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company also had outstanding two interest
rate swaps related to discontinued operations which set the interest rate on
$100 million of long-term debt to a fixed 9.12 percent until September 5,
1995 and $125 million of long-term debt to a fixed 8.445 percent until
December 5, 1994. The swaps related to continuing operations were adjusted to
market value in the 1992 quasi-reorganization. Losses on the swaps related to
discontinued operations were included in the 1992 loss on disposal.
The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance
by the other parties to the interest rate swap agreements. However, the
Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.

9. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value
because of the short maturity of those instruments.
The Flexible Auction preferred stocks of SoCalGas approximate fair value
since they are remarketed periodically. The debt of the ESOP approximates
fair market value based on rates currently available to the Company for debt
with similar terms and maturity.
Interest rate swaps were adjusted to fair value as part of the
quasi-reorganization. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated
amount that the bank would receive or pay to terminate the swap agreements at
the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the
current credit worthiness of the swap counterparties. The carrying amount of
interest rate swaps approximates fair value.
The fair value of SoCalGas's long-term debt and 6 percent preferred, 6
percent Series A preferred and 7 3/4 percent preferred stock is estimated based
on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current
rates offered to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities. The
fair value of these financial instruments is different from the carrying
amount. These instruments were not adjusted to fair value in the
quasi-reorganization because they represent obligations of the rate regulated
subsidiaries which are recoverable in future rates.
The following financial instruments have a fair value which is different
from the carrying amount as of December 31.

Each issue of the Flexible Auction Series Preferred Stock is auctioned on
specified dividend dates. The term of each subsequent dividend period is, at
SoCalGas's option, 49 days or longer, not to exceed ten years. The weighted
average dividend rates for the Flexible Auction Preferred Stock for 1993, 1992
and 1991 were: Series A, 2.67 percent, 3.21 percent and 4.77 percent,
respectively; Series B, 3.28 percent, 3.24 percent and 4.89 percent,
respectively; Series C, 2.75 percent, 3.28 percent and 4.1 percent,
respectively. Subsequent dividend rates may be affected by general market
conditions and the credit rating assigned to the Flexible Auction Series
Preferred Stock. SoCalGas has the option of redeeming the shares, in whole
or in part, at $100,000 per share plus accumulated dividends on any scheduled
dividend payment date.
In January 1993, SoCalGas issued 3 million shares of 7 3/4 percent Series
Preferred Stock. The proceeds of $75 million were used to redeem the Flexible
Auction Series Preferred Stock, Series B.
11. PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has 1,500 shares of Remarketed Preferred (RP) Stock outstanding
with a liquidation preference of $100,000 per share. The RP shares are
remarketed by designated agents at specified dividend dates. In connection with
the remarketing process, the holders of the shares may elect dividend periods
of seven or 49 days. The dividend rate may be affected by general market
conditions and the credit rating assigned to the RP shares. On September 10,
1991, the Company established a special dividend period for 500 shares of RP
stock ending October 11, 1994 at a dividend rate of 7.5 percent per year. The
weighted average dividend rates for 1993 and 1992 were 6.2 percent and 7.17
percent, respectively. The Company has the option of redeeming the rp shares,
in whole or in part, at $100,000 per share plus accumulated dividends on any

12. PENSION, POSTRETIREMENT AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS. The Company and certain subsidiaries have noncontributory
pension plans covering substantially all of their employees. Over 90 percent
of the employees covered by the plans are employed by SoCalGas. Benefits are
based on an employee's years of service and compensation during his or her
last years of employment. The Company's policy is to fund the plans annually
at a level which is fully deductible for federal income tax purposes and as
necessary on an actuarial basis to provide assets sufficient to meet the
benefits to be paid to plan members.
Pension expense for continuing operations was as follows:

POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS. In 1992, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" (SFAS 106). SFAS 106 requires the
accrual of the cost of certain postretirement benefits other than pensions over
the active service period of the employee. The Company previously recorded
these costs when paid or funded. SFAS 106 allows amortization of the cumulative
adjustment over 20 years. However, at December 31, 1992, the Company
implemented a quasi-reorganization and accrued the postretirement liability at
its entire fair value. The CPUC and the FERC in late 1992 authorized SFAS 106
amounts to be recovered in rates for the regulated entities; therefore, a
regulatory asset has been recorded to reflect the portion of the liability
which will be recovered in future rates. The cumulative impact of $5 million
after-tax for the nonregulated portion of the postretirement liability was
charged to common stock as part of the quasi-reorganization in 1992.
The Company's postretirement benefit plan currently provides medical and
life insurance benefits to qualified retirees. In the past, employee
cost-sharing provisions have been implemented to control the increasing costs
of these benefits. Other changes could occur in the future. The Company's
policy is to fund these benefits at a level which is fully tax deductible for
federal income tax purposes, not to exceed amounts recoverable in rates for
regulated companies, and as necessary on an actuarial basis to provide assets
sufficient to be paid to plan participants. The net periodic postretirement
benefit cost was as follows:
Year Ended December 31
----------------------
(Dollars in Millions) 1993 1992
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost-benefits earned during the period $ 12 $ 12

The assumed health care cost trend rate is 8 percent for 1994. The trend
rate is expected to decrease from 1995 to 1998 with a 6 percent ultimate trend
rate thereafter. The effect of a one-percentage-point increase in the assumed
health care cost trend rate for each future year is $40 million on the aggregate
of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement cost
for 1993 and $65 million on the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at
December 31, 1993. The estimated income tax rate used in the return on plan
assets is zero since the assets are invested in tax exempt funds.
OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. At December 31, 1992, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS 112). SFAS 112 requires the accrual of the
obligation to provide benefits to former or inactive employees after employment
but before retirement. The adoption of SFAS 112 resulted in the recognition of a
$35 million liability, primarily for disability benefits. There was no impact on
earnings since these costs are currently recovered in rates as paid, and as
such, have been reflected as a regulatory asset. At December 31, 1993, the
liability was $39 million.
Upon completion of one year of service, all employees of the Company and
certain subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Company's retirement
savings plan administered by bank trustees. Employees may contribute from 1
percent to 14 percent of their regular earnings. The Company generally
contributes an amount of cash or a number of shares of the Company's common
stock of equivalent fair market value which, when added to prior forfeitures,
will equal 50 percent of the first 6 percent of eligible base salary contributed
by employees. The employees' contributions, at the direction of the employees,
are primarily invested in the Company's common stock, mutual funds or guaranteed
interest accounts. The Company's contributions, which were invested in the
Company's common stock, were $9 million in 1991 and 1992. In 1993 the Company's
contributions were funded by the Pacific Enterprises Employee Stock Ownership
Plan and Trust.
The Company retained Thrifty's Profit Sharing Plan and Trust as Pacific
Enterprises Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (TRUST) subsequent to the
sale of the retailing operations. The Company funds contributions, as required,
to service the TRUST debt. All contributions to the TRUST are made by the
Company, and there are no contributions by the participants. The Company's net
contributions (and compensation expense) were 1993, $9 million; 1992, $20
million and 1991, $6 million. The 1992 and 1991 amounts are included in
discontinued operations. The level of net contributions to the trust by the
Company is dependent on the amount of dividends paid on the unallocated shares
held by the trust and the quarterly payments made by the buyer of the retailing
operations (See Note 2).

STATEMENT OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management. The
integrity and objectivity of these financial statements and the other financial
information in the Annual Report, including the estimates and judgments on which
they are based, are the responsibility of management. The financial statements
have been audited by Deloitte & Touche, independent certified public
accountants, appointed by the Board of Directors. Their report is shown below.
Management has made available to Deloitte & Touche all of the Company's
financial records and related data, as well as the minutes of shareholders' and
directors' meetings.
Management maintains a system of internal accounting control which it
believes is adequate to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that
assets are properly safeguarded and accounted for, that transactions are
executed in accordance with management's authorization and are properly recorded
and reported, and for the prevention and detection of fraudulent financial
reporting. Management monitors the system of internal control for compliance
through its own review and a strong internal auditing program which also
independently assesses the effectiveness of the internal controls. In
establishing and maintaining internal controls, the Company exercises judgment
in determining that the costs of such controls do not exceed the benefits to be
derived.
Management acknowledges its responsibility to provide financial information
(both audited and unaudited) that is representative of the Company's operations,
reliable on a consistent basis, and relevant for a meaningful financial
assessment of the Company. Management believes that the control process enables
them to meet this responsibility.
Management also recognizes its responsibility for fostering a strong ethical
climate so that the Company's affairs are conducted according to the highest
standards of personal and corporate conduct. This responsibility is
characterized and reflected in the Company's code of corporate conduct, which is
publicized throughout the Company. The Company maintains a systematic program to
assess compliance with this policy.
The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee composed solely of directors
who are not officers or employees. The Committee recommends for approval by the
full Board the appointment of the independent auditors. The Committee meets
periodically with management, with the Company's internal auditors, and with the
independent auditors. The independent auditors and the internal auditors also
meet alone with the Audit Committee and have free access to the Audit Committee
at any time.

Pacific Enterprises:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Pacific Enterprises and
subsidiaries (pages 23 to 40) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pacific
Enterprises and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
