<p>A.&nbsp; Pacific Gas and Electric Company&rsquo;s 2002 Attrition
Revenue Adjustment</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December 3, 2002, an administrative law judge (ALJ) of the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a draft
decision proposing to deny Pacific Gas and Electric Company&rsquo;s
(Utility) request for a 2002 attrition revenue
adjustment&nbsp;&nbsp; The Utility has requested an annual increase
of $76.7 million to its electric distribution revenue requirement
and an annual increase of $19.5 million to its gas distribution
revenue requirement to allow for recovery of its capital
investments and escalating costs of providing electric and gas
distribution services in 2002.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
ALJ&rsquo;s draft decision states that the Utility&rsquo;s
&ldquo;recorded numbers are too stale and the escalation rates too
uncertain to sustain a finding increasing rates&rdquo; and that any
increase in rates would require a general rate case.</p>

<p align="left">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Comments
on the draft decision are due December 23, 2002.&nbsp; When the
CPUC acts on the draft decision, it may adopt all or part of it as
written, amend or modify it, or set it aside and prepare its own
decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p align="left">
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Neither
PG&amp;E Corporation nor the Utility can predict the outcome of
this matter.&nbsp;</p>

<p>B.&nbsp; Pacific Gas and Electric Company Bankruptcy - Monthly
Operating Report</p>

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December 2, 2002, the Utility filed its monthly operating report
for the month ended October 31, 2002 with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
for the Northern District of California.&nbsp; The Utility's
monthly operating report includes an unaudited income statement for
the month and an unaudited balance sheet dated as of the end of the
month.&nbsp; These unaudited financial statements are attached as
Exhibit 99 to this report. Although not included in Exhibit 99, the
monthly operating report also includes a statement of receipts and
disbursements, as well as other information.&nbsp; The preliminary
financial statements were prepared using certain assumptions and
estimates that are subject to revision.&nbsp; Any adjustments for
these estimates (based upon changes in facts and circumstances,
further analysis, and other factors) will be reflected in the
financial statements in the period during which such adjustments
are made.&nbsp; These adjustments could have a material impact on
reported results in the future.</p>
