               SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
prepared in accordance with the interim period reporting requirements of Form
10-Q.   Reference  is made to the Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1994 for additional information.

Results  of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative  of
results  for  the  entire  year.  In order to match revenues  and  costs  for
interim  reporting  purposes, the Southern California Gas  Company  (Company)
defers  revenue related to costs which are expected to be incurred  later  in
the  year.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying statements reflect
all   adjustments  which  are  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation.   These
adjustments  are  of a normal recurring nature.  Certain changes  in  account
classification  have  been  made in the prior years'  consolidated  financial
statements to conform to the 1995 financial statement presentation.


2. ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS

The   Company   has  identified  and  reported  to  California  environmental
authorities  42  former manufactured gas plant sites for which  it  (together
with  other  utilities  as  to  21  of these sites)  may  have  environmental
obligations  under environmental laws.  As of June 30, 1995, eight  of  these
sites  have  been remediated, of which five have received certification  from
the  California Environmental Protection Agency.  Preliminary investigations,
at  a  minimum,  have been completed on 38 of the gas plant sites,  including
those  sites  at which the remediations described above have been  completed.
In addition, the Company has been named as a potentially responsible party of
one landfill site and three industrial waste disposal sites.

On  May  4,  1994, the CPUC approved a collaborative settlement  between  the
Company  and other California energy utilities and the Division of  Ratepayer
Advocates  that  provides  for rate recovery of 90 percent  of  environmental
investigation  and  remediation  costs  without  reasonableness  review.   In
addition,  the utilities have the opportunity to retain a percentage  of  any
insurance  recoveries  to offset the 10 percent of  costs  not  recovered  in
rates.

At  June  30,  1995,  the  Company's estimated  remaining  investigation  and
remediation liability was approximately $65 million which it is authorized to
recover  through the mechanism discussed above.  The estimated  liability  is
subject  to  future  adjustment pending further investigation.   The  Company
believes that any costs not ultimately recovered through rates, insurance or


PAGE 7


other  means, upon giving effect to previously established liabilities,  will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.


Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Southern  California  Gas  Company  (Company)  is  a  subsidiary  of  Pacific
Enterprises  (Parent).  The Company, a public utility, provides  natural  gas
distribution, transmission and storage in a 23,000-square-mile  service  area
in  southern California and parts of central California.  Company markets are
separated into core customers and noncore customers.  Core customers  consist
of  approximately 4.7 million customers (4.5 million residential and  200,000
smaller commercial and industrial customers). The noncore market consists  of
approximately  1,200  customers  which  primarily  include  utility  electric
generation,  wholesale and large commercial and industrial  customers.   Many
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.  The Company is regulated by the
California  Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).  It is the responsibility  of
the  CPUC  to  determine that utilities operate in the best interest  of  the
ratepayers  with the opportunity to earn a reasonable return  on  investment.
Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  Results  of
Operations  should  be  read in conjunction with the  Condensed  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  and  the  Company's  Annual  Report  on Form 10-K.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net  income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 increased by  $7
and  $14 million compared to the same periods in 1994.  The increase  in  net
income was due primarily to the increase in the authorized rate of return  on
common  equity  from 11.0 percent in 1994 to 12.0 percent in 1995  and  lower
operating  expenses  and  capital  expenditures  in  1995  from  the  amounts
authorized in the most recent general rate case decision as adjusted for  the
1995 attrition allowances.

Operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 decreased
$51 million and $135 million, respectively, when compared to the same periods
in 1994.  Cost of gas distributed for the three and six months ended June 30,
1995  decreased $69 million and $191 million, respectively, when compared  to
the  same periods in 1994.  The decreases in operating revenues and  cost  of
gas  primarily  reflect  a decrease in the average unit  cost  of  gas.   The
average unit cost of gas declined as a result of lower market prices.   Under
the  current regulatory framework, changes in revenue resulting from  changes
in  volumes  delivered to the core market and cost of gas do not  affect  net
income.

RECENT CPUC REGULATORY ACTIVITY

On  June  1,  1995, the Company filed a "Performance Based Ratemaking"  (PBR)
application  with the CPUC which would replace the general rate  case.   This
new  method  would link financial performance with productivity  improvements
and  generally  would allow for rates to increase by the rate  of  inflation,
less an agreed-upon percentage for productivity improvements.  However, under
PBR,  the Company would be at risk for changes in interest rates and cost  of
capital,  changes in core volumes not related to weather, and  achieving  the
productivity improvements.  If approved by the CPUC, PBR would be implemented
in 1997 at the earliest.

On  March  16,  1994,  the  CPUC approved a new process  for  evaluating  the
Company's  gas  purchases, substantially replacing the  previous  process  of
reasonableness  reviews.  The new Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism  (GCIM)  is  a
three-year  pilot program that began on April 1, 1994.  The GCIM  essentially
compares  the  Company's cost of gas with a benchmark  level,  which  is  the
average  market price of 30-day firm spot supplies delivered to the Company's
service areas.

All savings from gas purchased below the benchmark are shared equally between
ratepayers and shareholders.  The Company can recover all costs in excess  of
the benchmark that are within a tolerance band.  If the Company's cost of gas
exceeds  the tolerance band, then the excess costs are shared equally between
ratepayers  and  shareholders.  For the first year of the program,  the  GCIM
provided  a  4.5 percent tolerance band above the benchmark.  For the  second
and  third years of the program, the tolerance band is 4 percent.  Since  the
inception  of  the  program through June 30, 1995, the Company's  gas  costs,
including  gains and losses from gas futures contracts discussed below,  were
within the tolerance band.

The Company enters into gas futures contracts in the open market on a limited
basis to help reduce gas costs within the GCIM tolerance band.  The Company's
policy is to use gas futures contracts to mitigate risk and better manage gas
costs.   The  CPUC  has  approved the use of gas futures  for  managing  risk
associated with the GCIM.

On July 5, 1995, an administrative law judge (ALJ) issued a proposed decision
authorizing  the  Company $33 million in ratepayer  funding,  compared  to  a
request  of  $70 million, over six years, to fund natural gas  vehicle  (NGV)
activities.   The  proposed  funding would cover  the  costs  of  maintaining
existing  fueling stations,  increasing  the  overall number of  natural  gas
vehicles,  continued  research  and development  and  conducting  educational
activities.  The decision is subject to CPUC approval and may be approved  as
is, rejected or modified.

The proposal would also require that all refueling stations on customer sites
be  sold  or removed from ratebase within six years of issuance of the  ALJ's
proposed  decision.  Any depreciation previously recovered in rates would  be
refunded to ratepayers along with 50% of any gains resulting from the sale of

PAGE 9


the stations.  If this proposed decision is accepted by the CPUC, the Company
may be required to reduce the carrying value of its $20 million investment in
these  stations.   The Company does not believe this recommendation  will  be
accepted  and  believes  that the CPUC will adopt a  policy  permitting  full
recovery of the cost of this investment.


FACTORS  INFLUENCING FUTURE PERFORMANCE.  Under current ratemaking  policies,
future  Company  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 noncore customers versus
CPUC-adopted  forecast  deliveries and the ability of management  to  control
expenses and investment in line with the amounts authorized by the CPUC to be
collected in rates.

The  impact of any future regulatory restructuring, such as Performance Based
Ratemaking,   increased  competitiveness  in  the  industry,  including   the
continuing threat of customers bypassing the Company's system and obtaining
service   directly   from   interstate  pipelines,  and   electric   industry
restructuring  could  also  affect  the Company's  future  performance.   The
Company's  ability to report as earnings the results from revenues in  excess
of  its authorized return from noncore customers due to volume increases  has
been substantially eliminated for the five years beginning August 1, 1994  as
a  consequence  of  the  restructuring of high-cost gas  contracts  that  was
approved  by  the  CPUC  last July (the Comprehensive Settlement).   This  is
because  certain forecasted levels of gas deliveries in excess  of  the  1991
throughput  levels  used  to  establish noncore rates  were  contemplated  in
estimating the costs of the Comprehensive Settlement in prior years.

The  Company's  earnings for 1995 will be affected by  the  increase  in  the
authorized  rate of return on common equity, reflecting the overall  increase
in  cost  of capital.  For 1995, the Company is authorized to earn a rate  of
return on rate base of 9.67 percent and a rate of return on common equity  of
12.00  percent  compared to 9.22 percent and 11.00 percent, respectively,  in
1994.  Rate base is expected to remain at the same level as 1994.

On  May 9, 1995, the Company filed a request with the CPUC for the 1996  cost
of  capital.  The Company requested an authorized return on common equity  of
12.50 percent and a 9.90 percent return on rate base.  A decision is expected
in late 1995.

The  Company's earnings for the third and fourth quarters of 1995 and all  of
1996  will  be favorably impacted by the completion of a realignment  of  the
Company into two business units effective July 1995.  A significant amount of
the  savings  will not be realized until 1996, the first full year  following
the realignment.  Improvements to earnings will be partially offset by the  2
percent   and  3  percent  productivity  adjustments  for  1995   and   1996,
respectively,  authorized  by  the  CPUC,  under  the  terms  of   the   1994
Comprehensive Settlement.

Existing interstate pipeline capacity into California exceeds current  demand
by  over 1 billion cubic feet per day.  Up to 2 billion cubic feet per day of
capacity  on  the  El  Paso  and  Transwestern  interstate  pipeline  systems
representing  over  $175  million and $55 million,  respectively,  of  annual
reservation charges, may be relinquished within the next few years  based  on
existing contract reduction options and contract expirations.  Some  of  this
capacity  may not be resubscribed.  Current FERC regulation could permit  the
cost  of  unsubscribed  capacity to be allocated to  remaining  firm  service
customers,  including the Company.  Under existing regulation in  California,
the  Company  would have the opportunity to include its portion of  any  such
reallocated  costs in its rates.  If competitive conditions did  not  support
higher  rates resulting from these reallocated costs, then the Company  would
be at risk for lost revenues in the noncore market.

The Company, as a part of a coalition of customers who hold 90 percent of the
firm  transportation capacity rights on the El Paso and Transwestern systems,
has  offered a proposal for negotiated rates with balanced incentives  to  El
Paso  and  Transwestern  to resolve the issue of unsubscribed  capacity.   In
March  1995,  a  Principles  of  Agreement consistent  with  the  coalition's
proposal  was  finalized  with  Transwestern.  A  definitive  settlement  was
submitted to the FERC on May 2, 1995 and approval was granted on July 26.   A
similar  proposal  was  offered to and rejected by  El  Paso.   El  Paso  has
subsequently filed for a $74 million annual rate increase with the FERC.  The
rate  increase  proposes to reallocate to its remaining  firm  customers  the
costs related to pipeline capacity soon to be relinquished by certain of  its
customers.   On  July 12, the Company and a coalition of El Paso's  customers
filed  a  protest with the FERC in opposition to El Paso's request.  El  Paso
and its customers including the Company are scheduled to meet in mid-August.

The Company's operations and those of its customers are affected by a growing
number  of  environmental laws and regulations.  These laws  and  regulations
affect  current  operations  as  well  as  future  expansion.   Historically,
environmental laws favorably impacted the use of natural gas in the Company's
service  territory,  particularly by utility electric  generation  and  large
industrial   customers.    However,   increasingly   complex   administrative
requirements  may  discourage natural gas use by  commercial  and  industrial
customers.  Environmental laws also require clean up of facilities no  longer
in  use.  Because of current and expected rate recovery, the Company 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 2 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.


CAPITAL  EXPENDITURES.   For  the six months ended  June  30,  1995,  capital
expenditures  were $98 million.  Capital expenditures for utility  plant  are
expected  to  be  $240  million in 1995 and will  be  financed  primarily  by
internally-generated funds.




PAGE 11


LIQUIDITY

Regulatory accounts receivable decreased $259 million reflecting the recovery
through  rates  of amounts undercollected in prior years.  As a  result,  the
cash  flows  generated  were  available  for  additional  cash  requirements,
primarily the payment of debt and the payment of dividends.
