<p>Pacific Gas and Electric Company Bankruptcy</p>

<p>Further Stay of Confirmation Trial</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As previously
disclosed, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility), the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), and certain other
parties have been participating in a judicially supervised
settlement conference in order to explore the possibility of
resolving differences between the Utility&rsquo;s proposed plan of
reorganization and the alternative proposed plan of reorganization
presented by the CPUC and the Official Committee of Unsecured
Creditors.&nbsp; In order to accommodate the settlement conference,
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of
California (Bankruptcy Court) issued an order on March 11, 2003
staying all proceedings in the confirmation trial for 60
days.&nbsp; On April 23, 2003, at the request of the judge who is
supervising the settlement conference, the Bankruptcy Court issued
an order continuing the stay on all proceedings in the confirmation
trial for an additional 30 days.&nbsp; The Bankruptcy Court did not
stay proceedings related to ordinary case motions, claims
objections, and certain other matters not related to the
confirmation trial.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Bankruptcy
Court indicated that it will continue a status conference
previously scheduled for May 12, 2003, to June 16, 2003, at which
time the Bankruptcy Court will schedule further matters relating to
discovery and the resumption of the confirmation trial, if
necessary.</p>
