TXU GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BUSINESS

     Description of Business — TXU Gas, a Texas corporation, is a largely regulated business engaged in the purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of natural gas in the north-central, eastern and western parts of Texas, and also provides utility asset management services. TXU Gas is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TXU Corp.

     TXU Gas serves more than 1.4 million retail gas customers and owns and operates gas distribution mains, gas transportation and gathering pipelines and underground storage reservoirs. TXU Gas also provides transportation services to gas distribution companies, electricity generation plants, end-use industrial customers and through-system shippers. Oncor Utility Solutions offers utility asset management services to cooperatives and municipally-owned and investor-owned utilities in North America.

     TXU Gas’ natural gas pipeline, gas distribution and asset management services operations are managed as one integrated business; accordingly, there are no separate reportable business segments.

     TXU Corp.’s Strategic Initiatives — On April 26, 2004, TXU Corp. announced a series of proposed transactions, including the intent to sell TXU Gas. It is expected that any transaction would be closed by the end of 2004, and the sales price is expected to approximate book value.

     Basis of Presentation — The condensed consolidated financial statements of TXU Gas have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP and on the same basis as the audited financial statements included in its 2003 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all other adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position have been included therein. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Because the condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP, they should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the 2003 Form 10-K. The results of operations for an interim period may not give a true indication of results for a full year.

     All dollar amounts in the financial statements and tables in the notes are stated in millions of dollars unless otherwise indicated.

     Changes in Accounting Standards — FIN 46R was issued in December 2003 and replaced FIN 46, which was issued in January 2003. FIN 46R expands and clarifies the guidance originally contained in FIN 46, regarding consolidation of variable interest entities. FIN 46R did not impact results of operations or financial position for the first quarter of 2004.

     The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the Medicare Act) was enacted in December 2003. FASB Staff Position 106-1, issued in January 2004, allowed for, but did not require, deferral of the accounting for the effects of the Medicare Act. TXU Corp. elected not to defer accounting for the federal subsidy under the Medicare Act and recognized a $1.9 million net reduction in postretirement benefit expense in the 2003 financial statements. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the effect of adoption of the Medicare Act was a reduction of approximately $1 million in TXU Gas’ allocated postretirement benefit costs.

2. FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

     Short-term Borrowings — At March 31, 2004, TXU Gas had outstanding short-term borrowings consisting of advances from affiliates of $231 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.86%. At December 31, 2003, TXU Gas had outstanding short-term advances from affiliates of $154 million at a weighted average interest rate of 2.85%.

     Credit Facilities — On April 26, 2004, a new $300 million, 364-day credit facility was established for TXU Gas. Borrowings of $185 million under this new facility were used to repay advances from affiliates. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the facility may not be re-borrowed.

     Sale of Receivables — TXU Corp. has established an accounts receivable securitization program. The activity under this program is accounted for as a sale of accounts receivable in accordance with SFAS 140. Under the program, US subsidiaries of TXU Corp. (originators) sell trade accounts receivable to TXU Receivables Company, a consolidated wholly-owned bankruptcy remote direct subsidiary of TXU Corp., which sells undivided interests in the purchased accounts receivable for cash to special purpose entities established by financial institutions (the funding entities). As of March 31, 2004, the maximum amount of undivided interests that could be sold by TXU Receivables Company was $600 million.

     All new trade receivables under the program generated by the originators are continuously purchased by TXU Receivables Company with the proceeds from collections of receivables previously purchased. Changes in the amount of funding under the program, through changes in the amount of undivided interests sold by TXU Receivables Company, are generally due to seasonal variations in the level of accounts receivable and changes in collection trends. TXU Receivables Company has issued subordinated notes payable to the originators for the difference between the face amount of the uncollected accounts receivable purchased, less a discount, and cash paid to the originators that was funded by the sale of the undivided interests.

     The discount from face amount on the purchase of receivables principally funds program fees paid by TXU Receivables Company to the funding entities, as well as a servicing fee paid by TXU Receivables Company to TXU Business Services. The program fees (losses on sale), which consist primarily of interest costs on the underlying financing, were less than $1 million for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2004 and 2003 and approximated 2.1% and 3.6% for the first quarter of 2004 and 2003, respectively, of the average funding under the program on an annualized basis; these fees represent the net incremental costs of the program to TXU Gas and are reported in operation and maintenance expenses. The servicing fee, which totaled approximately $1 million for the first quarters of 2004 and 2003, compensates TXU Business Services Company for its services as collection agent, including maintaining the detailed accounts receivable collection records.

     The March 31, 2004 balance sheet reflects $189 million face amount of trade accounts receivable reduced by $103 million of undivided interests sold by TXU Receivables Company. Funding under the program increased $50 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, primarily due to the effect of seasonal fluctuations. Funding under the program for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $26 million. Funding increases or decreases under the program are reflected as operating cash flow activity in the statement of cash flows. The carrying amount of the retained interests in the accounts receivable approximated fair value due to the short-term nature of the collection period.

7


 

     Activities of TXU Receivables Company related to TXU Gas for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were as follows:

                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,
    2004

    (1 )     (1 )
Increase in subordinated notes payable
    41       77  
 
   
 
     
 
 
TXU Gas’ operating cash flows provided under the program
  $ (50 )   $ (26 )
 
   
 
     
 
 

     Upon termination of the program, cash flows to TXU Gas would be delayed as collections of sold receivables would be used by TXU Receivables Company to repurchase the undivided interests sold instead of purchasing new receivables. The level of cash flows would normalize in approximately 16 to 31 days.

     Contingencies Related to Sale of Receivables Program — Although TXU Receivables Company expects to be able to pay its subordinated notes from the collections of purchased receivables, these notes are subordinated to the undivided interests of the funding entities in those receivables, and collections might not be sufficient to pay the subordinated notes. The program may be terminated if either of the following events occurs:

  1)   all of the originators cease to maintain their required fixed charge coverage ratio and debt to capital (leverage) ratio;
 
  2)   the delinquency ratio (delinquent for 31 days) for the sold receivables, the default ratio (delinquent for 91 days or deemed uncollectible), the dilution ratio (reductions for discounts, disputes and other allowances) or the days collection outstanding ratio exceed stated thresholds and the funding entities do not waive such event of termination. The thresholds apply to the entire portfolio of sold receivables, not separately to the receivables of each originator.

     The delinquency and dilution ratios exceeded the relevant thresholds during the first four months of 2003, but waivers were granted. These ratios were affected by issues related to the transition to competition. Certain billing and collection delays arose due to implementation of new systems and processes within TXU Energy and ERCOT for clearing customers’ switching and billing data. The billing delays have been largely resolved. Strengthened credit and collection policies and practices have brought the ratios into consistent compliance with the program requirement.

     Under terms of the receivables sale program, all the originators are required to maintain specified fixed charge coverage and leverage ratios (or supply a parent guarantor that meets the ratio requirements). The failure by an originator or its parent guarantor, if any, to maintain the specified financial ratios would prevent that originator from selling its accounts receivable under the program. If all the originators and the parent guarantor, if any, fail to maintain the specified financial ratios so that there are no eligible originators, the facility would terminate.

8


 

     Long-Term Debt — At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the long-term debt of TXU Gas and its consolidated subsidiaries consisted of the following:

                 
    March 31,   December 31,
    2004
  2003
6.375% Fixed Notes due February 1, 2004

(a)   These series are in the multiannual mode and are subject to mandatory tender prior to maturity on the mandatory remarketing date. On such date, the interest rate and interest rate period will be reset for the notes.

3. LONG-TERM DEBT HELD BY SUBSIDIARY TRUST

     At March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, a statutory business trust established as a wholly-owned financing subsidiary of TXU Gas, had 150 units ($147 million) of floating rate mandatorily redeemable preferred securities outstanding. Distributions on these preferred securities are payable quarterly based on an annual floating rate determined quarterly with reference to a three-month LIBOR rate plus a margin. The only assets held by the trust are $155 million principal amount of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures Series A issued by TXU Gas. The interest on the debentures matches the distributions on the preferred trust securities. The debentures will mature on July 1, 2028. TXU Gas has the right to redeem the debentures and cause the redemption of the preferred securities in whole or in part. TXU Gas owns the common securities issued by its subsidiary trust and has effectively issued a full and unconditional guarantee of the trust’s preferred securities.

     As a result of the adoption of FIN 46 in the fourth quarter of 2003, the subsidiary trust has been deconsolidated. As a result, TXU Gas’ balance sheet reflects the $155 million of long-term debt held by the trust and an investment in the trust of $8 million, instead of the former presentation of $147 million of preferred interests of subsidiaries.

4. PREFERRED STOCK

     At March 31, 2004, TXU Gas had 75,000 shares of Adjustable Rate Series F Preferred Stock outstanding (2,000,000 total shares authorized) which is entitled upon liquidation to the stated value of $1,000 per share. The preferred stock series is the underlying preferred stock for depositary shares that were issued to the public. Each depositary share of $25 per share, represents one-fortieth of a share of underlying preferred stock. The dividend rate is determined quarterly, in advance, based on US Treasury rates and was 4.50% at March 31, 2004. The preferred stock is not mandatorily redeemable.

     At February 23, 2004, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $11.25 per share on the outstanding Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series F payable on May 1, 2004 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 16, 2004.

5. CONTINGENCIES

     On April 13, 2004, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) issued a subpoena requiring TXU Corp. to produce information about storage of natural gas, including TXU Corp.’s weekly and monthly storage report submissions to the Energy Information Administration. This request seeks information for the period of October 31, 2003 through January 2, 2004. TXU Corp. intends to cooperate with the CFTC, and believes that TXU Gas and TXU Fuel have not engaged in any activity that would justify action by the CFTC.

     Guarantees — TXU Gas has entered into contracts that contain guarantees to outside parties that could require performance or payment under certain conditions. These guarantees have been grouped based on similar characteristics and are described in detail below.

     TXU Gas has an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $14 million issued in connection with its state-wide rate case. The letter of credit has an expiration date of December 31, 2004.

     Other — In 1992, a discontinued engineering and construction business of TXU Gas completed construction of a plant, the performance of which is warranted by TXU Gas through 2008. The maximum contingent liability under the guarantee is approximately $106 million. No claims have been asserted under the guarantee and none are anticipated.

     Income Tax Contingencies — In April 2003, the IRS proposed to TXU Gas certain adjustments to the US federal income tax returns of ENSERCH Corporation (the acquired predecessor of TXU Gas) for the 1993 calendar year. TXU Gas has protested the IRS proposed adjustments to its 1993 tax return with the Appeals Office of the IRS. Although TXU Gas is vigorously contesting the IRS proposed adjustments, it is possible that the matter will be resolved against TXU Gas during 2004. Based on the current status of negotiations, if the matter is resolved against TXU Gas, TXU Gas would be assessed a deficiency of $65 million (including penalty and interest through March 31, 2004). In addition, TXU Gas would suffer net increases in taxes payable in future years of $56 million (including interest through March 31, 2004).

     Any tax, penalty, and interest accruing for periods prior to August 5, 1997 (the date on which ENSERCH Corporation was acquired by TXU Corp.) would be charged first to tax reserves acquired as part of the ENSERCH acquisition and then to goodwill. Interest for periods after August 5, 1997 would be charged to income from continuing operations.

     General — In addition to the above, TXU Gas and its subsidiaries are involved in various other legal and administrative proceedings in the normal course of business the ultimate resolution of which, in the opinion of each, should not have a material effect upon their financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

6. SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Other Income and Other Deductions — Other income and other deductions consist of several individually immaterial items.

     Interest Expense and Related Charges —

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TXU Gas Company:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of TXU Gas Company and subsidiaries (TXU Gas) as of March 31, 2004, and the related condensed statements of consolidated income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of TXU Gas’ management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of TXU Gas as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of consolidated income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholder’s equity for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 11, 2004, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2003, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
