NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) -- Continued10-K.our 2001the 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain reclassifications of prior period data have been made to conform with the current presentation.
Several factors impacting us in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 also impact
the presentation of our financial statements presented herein. In the third
quarter, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 02-3, which requires
that we report energy trading revenues and energy trading costs on a net basis.
See Note 2.
RecentNew Accounting Pronouncements. In addition, as a result of these
and other changes in our business, we also reevaluated our segment presentation
and have determined that Power operates in one integrated business segment. See
Note 9. Financial Information By Business Segment.
Under the Basic Generation Service (BGS) contract, which terminated on July 31,
2002, Power sold energy directly to PSE&G which in turn sold this energy to its
customers. These revenues were properly recognized on each company's stand-alone
financial statements and were eliminated when preparing our consolidated
financial statements. For the new BGS contract period beginning August 1, 2002,
Power sells energy to third party suppliers and other load serving entities
(LSEs) and PSE&G purchases the energy for its customers' needs from third party
suppliers. Due to this change in the BGS model, these revenues and expenses are
no longer intercompany revenues and expenses and are no longer eliminated in
consolidation.
Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
StandardsStatement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,
"Goodwill''Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"Assets'' (SFAS 142)wePSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings adopted SFAS 142. Under this standard, wePSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings were required to complete an impairment analysis of goodwill duringbefore June 30, 2002 and record any required impairment retroactive to the first quarter.January 1, 2002. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is considered a nonamortizable asset and is subject to an annual review for impairment and an interim review when certain events or changes in circumstances occur. At the time of adoption, PSE&G had no goodwill. The effect of no longer amortizing goodwill on an annual basis was not material to ourPSEG's or Power's financial position and results of operations upon adoption.
Under SFAS 142, we had a transitional period of six months from the date of
adoption to complete our goodwill impairment testing, which was completed as of
June 30, 2002. Wea result, in the second
quarter of 2002 we recorded after-tax chargesMarch 31, 2003, PSE&G has intangible assets relating to reflect thedefined benefit pension plans totaling $60 million. These intangible assets are not subject to amortization.impairmentas of $120March 31, 2003, Power's intangible assets were $142 million, retroactiveof which $32 million, $54 million, $40 million and $16 million relate to January 1, 2002,defined benefit pension plans, emissions allowances, various access rights at its Albany Station, and such amount has been
recognized as a Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle in
accordance with the new standard. See Goodwill Impairment Analysis in Note 3.
Asset Impairments for further details. In future periods, any goodwill, impairments will be recorded as a component of income from continuing
operations.
SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets"
(SFAS 144)respectively.we adopted SFAS 144. On adoption, SFAS 144 did not have an
effect on our financial position or results of operations. Under SFAS 144,
long-lived assets to be disposed of are measured at the lower of carrying amount
or fair value less costs to sell, whether reported in continued operations or in
discontinued operations. Also under SFAS 144, discontinued operations are no
longer measured at net realizable value or include amounts for operating losses
that have not yet occurred. Under SFAS 144, discontinued operations are measured
at fair value, less costs to sell. For additional information see Note 3. Asset
Impairments and Note 4. Discontinued Operations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) -- Continued
SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 143)
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 143.
Under SFAS 143, the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation
(ARO) is required to be recorded in the period in which it is incurred with an
offsetting amount recorded as an asset. Upon settlement of the liability, an
entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or
loss. SFAS 143 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
In August 2002, PSE&G filed a petition requesting clarification from the New
Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) regarding the future cost responsibility
for nuclear decommissioning and whether, as a matter of law and policy: (a)
PSE&G's customers will continue to pay for such costs through the Societal
Benefits Clause (SBC); or (b) such customer responsibility will terminate at the
end of the four-year transition period on July 31, 2003. The outcome of this
petition will affect the treatment of the liability recorded for Power's nuclear
decommissioning obligation. We cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
Upon adoption of the standard, we will be required to adjust our Nuclear
Decommissioning Liability ($768 million, pre-tax as of September 30, 2002) to
reflect the present value of our expected asset retirement obligation which we
believe is substantially lower than the recorded amount of our liability. If the
BPU determines that PSE&G's customers continue to pay for these costs, then the
difference between the recorded amount of the liability and the liability
calculated under the new ARO standard will be deferred on the balance sheet. If
the BPU determines that such customer responsibility terminates at the end of
the transition period, then the difference between the recorded amount of our
liability and the liability calculated under the new ARO standard will be
recorded as a one-time benefit as a Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting
Principle. The impact of adopting SFAS 143 is still being determined, and is
likely to be a material benefit to our results of operations and our financial
position by reducing our liability and increasing shareholders' equity.
In conjunction with the implementation of SFAS 143, we may change our method of
accounting for Cost of Removal for our Fossil Stations, which would
substantially reduce the Cost of Removal Liability that we have recorded for our
Fossil stations, $142 million, pre-tax as of September 30, 2002. We currently
believe that we will have no material legal retirement obligation under the new
standard for our Fossil stations, therefore the amount of that liability at the
time we adopt SFAS 143 will reverse into income.
Although the impact of this standard on future expenses is still being
determined, our present analyses indicate that ongoing depreciation and
operating expense (to accrete from the ARO liability, which is recorded at its
present value, to the ultimate liability) will approximate our current expected
expense levels over our five year planning horizon, and therefore would have a
minimal impact on earnings. However, under current GAAP we could experience
significant volatility in earnings since the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust
Fund's assets would be required to be marked to market with unrealized gains and
losses recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and realized gains and
losses recognized through earnings. Previously, these gains and losses were
offset by changes in the Nuclear Decommissioning Liability with no effect on
earnings. We are currently considering various methods to mitigate this
volatility, including multiple financial products, although no assurances can be
given.
SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements Nos. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of
FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" (SFAS 145)
During the third quarter of 2002, we adopted SFAS 145. This Statement rescinds
SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishments of Debt," (SFAS 4)
and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made
to Satisfy Sinking Fund Requirements" (SFAS 64). SFAS 4 required that gains and
losses from extinguishments of debt that were included in the determination of
net income be aggregated, and if material, classified as an extraordinary item.
Since the issuance of SFAS 4, the use of debt extinguishments has become part of
the risk management strategy of many companies, representing a type of debt
extinguishment that does not meet the criteria for classification as an
extraordinary item. Based on this trend, the FASB issued this rescission of SFAS
4 and SFAS 64. Accordingly, under SFAS 145, we now record these gains and losses
in Other Income and Other Deductions, respectively. We recorded pre-tax gains of
$4 million ($3 million after-tax) from the early retirement of debt as a
component of Other Income for the quarter and nine months ended September
7
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) -- Continued
30, 2002. Also, we reclassified a pre-tax loss of $3 million ($2 million
after-tax) from the early retirement of debt to a component of Other Deductions
for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 in accordance with SFAS 145.
SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities"
(SFAS 146)
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 146 which addresses the financial accounting
and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities. SFAS 146
states that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity
shall be recognized and measured initially at its fair value in the period when
the liability is incurred. A liability is established only when present
obligations to others are determined. SFAS 146 does not apply to costs
associated with the retirement of long-lived assets covered in SFAS 143. It
applies to costs associated with an exit activity that does not involve an
entity newly acquired in a business combination or with a disposal activity
covered by SFAS 144. We will apply SFAS 146 for exit or disposal activities
initiated after December 31, 2002 in accordance with the effective date of the
standard.
Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 02-3, "Accounting for Contracts
Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities" (EITF 02-3)
In June 2002, the EITF addressed certain issues related to energy trading
activities, including gross versus net presentation in the statement of
operations and additional disclosure requirements for energy trading activities.
The EITF determined that gains and losses on energy trading contracts should be
shown net in the statement of operations. This change is applicable to financial
statements for periods ending after July 15, 2002 and requires that prior
periods be restated for comparability.
Pursuant to EITF Issue No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus
Net as an Agent" (EITF 99-19), we had been recording our trading revenues and
trading related costs on a gross basis for physical energy and capacity sales
and purchases. In accordance with EITF 02-3, beginning in the third quarter of
2002, we started reporting energy trading revenues and energy trading costs on a
net basis and have reclassified prior periods to conform with this net
presentation. As a result, both trading revenues and trading costs were reduced
by approximately $748 million and $636 million for the quarters ended September
30, 2002 and 2001, respectively and $1.5 billion and $1.7 billion for the nine
month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This change in
presentation did not have an effect on trading margins, net income or cash
flows.
In October 2002, the EITF reached a final consensus regarding the accounting for
contracts involved in energy trading and risk management activities. Management
does not yet know the impact of adopting this consensus on January 1, 2003.
Note 3. Asset Impairments
As of December 31, 2001, Energy Holdings' aggregate investment exposure in
Argentina was $632 million, including certain loss contingencies. These
investments included a 90% owned distribution company, Empresa Distribuidora de
Electricidad de Entre Rios S.A. (EDEERSA); minority interests in three
distribution companies, Empresa Distribuidora de Energia Norte S.A. (EDEN),
Empresa Distribuidora de Energia Sur S.A. (EDES), and Empresa Distribuidora La
Plata S.A. (EDELAP); and two generating companies, Central Termica San Nicolas
(CTSN), and Parana which are under contract for sale to certain subsidiaries of
The AES Corporation (AES). In June 2002, Energy Holdings determined that the
carrying value of its Argentine investments was impaired. The combination of the
year-to-date operating losses, goodwill impairment at EDEERSA, write-down of
$506 million for all Argentine assets, and certain loss contingencies resulted
in a pre-tax charge to earnings of $632 million ($410 million after-tax) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002. In connection with the write-down of
Energy Holding's Argentine assets, we recorded a deferred tax asset of $222
million. We believe that we will have sufficient future capital gains to realize

EDEERSA
Given the year-to-date and projected operating losses at EDEERSA and the
continued economic uncertainty in Argentina, Energy Holdings determined that it
was necessary to test these assets for impairment. Such impairment analysis was
completed as of June 30, 2002. As a result of this analysis, Energy Holdings
determined that these assets were completely impaired under SFAS 144. Energy Holdings recorded total charges and losses of $213 million, pre-tax, related to
this investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. These pre-tax
charges consisted of goodwill impairment charges of $56 million, nine month
operating losses of $59 million, of which $45 million was recorded in the first
quarter of 2002, a complete asset impairment of $94 million pursuant to our SFAS
144 impairment analysis and loss contingencies and other items of $4 million.
The total after-tax charges and losses related to this investment were $139
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
In addition, Energy Holdings has developed an exit strategy to dispose of its
equity interest in EDEERSA. This exit is expected to be complete by June 30,
2003 and Energy Holdings intends to operate EDEERSA while carrying out its exit
plans. However, due to uncertainties related to the timing and method of
disposal of the investment in EDEERSA, the impairment charges and results of EDEERSA's operations will not be reported as a discontinued operation until
EDEERSA has been disposed of or a sale is probable. Global is currently in
discussions with potential acquirers of EDEERSA. During the second quarter of
2002, EDEERSA defaulted on its debt, which is nonrecourse to Global, Energy
Holdings and us.

Stock Purchase Agreement
On August 24, 2001, Global entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with AES to
sell its minority interests in EDEN, EDES, EDELAP, CTSN and Parana, to certain
subsidiaries of AES. In connection with the terms of the Stock Purchase
Agreement, Global has accrued interest and other receivables of $17 million
through February 6, 2002, which are direct obligations of AES and represent the
total remaining exposure associated with these investments on our Consolidated
Balance Sheets. On February 6, 2002, AES notified Global that it was terminating
the Stock Purchase Agreement. In the Notice of Termination, AES alleged that a
Political Risk Event, within the meaning of the Stock Purchase Agreement, had
occurred by virtue of certain decrees of the Government of Argentina, thereby
giving AES the right to terminate the Stock Purchase Agreement. Global filed
suit in New York State Supreme Court for New York County against AES to enforce
its rights under the Stock Purchase Agreement. A settlement was reached in
October 2002 between the parties under which Global will transfer its shares of
EDEN, EDES, EDELAP, Parana and CTSN to AES. AES has paid Global $15 million,
plus interest under the settlement and has issued notes that would yield an
additional $15 million when the notes mature on various dates ending July 2003.
The litigation is stayed pending AES performance of settlement obligations.
Since AES disputed its obligation to close and Global could not predict the
outcome of the litigation, Global determined it was necessary to test these
assets for impairment. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that
these assets were fully impaired and we recorded a write-down in the amount of
$412 million (pre-tax) ($268 million after-tax) and loss contingencies and other
items of $7 million (pre-tax) ($4 million after-tax) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2002.

September 30,tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. A legal obligation is a liability that a party is required to settle as a result of an existing or enacted law, statute, ordinance or contract.
Under SFAS 143, a company must initially recognize the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and concurrently capitalize an asset retirement cost by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by the same amount as the liability. A company shall subsequently allocate that asset retirement cost to expense over its useful life. In periods subsequent to initial measurement, an entity shall recognize changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time (accretion) or due to revisions to either the timing or the amount of the originally estimated cash flows. Changes in the liability due to accretion will be charged to the Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas changes due to the timing or amount of cash flows shall be an adjustment to the carrying amount of the related asset. See Note 3. Adoption of SFAS 143 for additional information. PSEG and Power EITF 02-3 requires all gains and losses on energy trading derivatives to be reported on a net basis. Also, energy trading contracts that are not derivatives will no longer be marked to market. Instead, settlement accounting will be used. EITF 02-3 was effective October 25, 2002. Substantially all of Power's energy contracts qualify as derivatives under SFAS No. 133, ''Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities'' (SFAS 133) and will therefore continue to be marked to market. The impact of implementing these rules was not material to PSEG's or Power's results of operations. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings FIN 46 clarified the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, ''Consolidated Financial Statements'', to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Because a controlling financial interest in an entity may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests, FIN 46 sets forth specific requirements with respect to consolidation, measurement and disclosure of such relationships. Disclosure requirements for existing qualifying entities are effective for financial statements issued after January 31, 2003. All enterprises with VIEs created after February 1, 2003, shall apply the provisions of FIN 46 no later than the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings' respective financial statements. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings At the January 2003 EITF meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) was requested to reconsider an interpretation of SFAS 133. The interpretation, which is contained in the Derivatives Implementation Group's C-11 guidance, relates to contracts that include broad market indices (e.g., CPI). That interpretation sets forth the guidelines under which the contract could qualify as a normal purchase or sale under SFAS 133. PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings reevaluated their respective contracts and determined that there were no contracts impacted by this interpretation and accordingly there was no effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The FASB has agreed to reconsider the guidance under C-11. Although the ultimate outcome is uncertain, this potential change in guidance is not expected to have a material impact on PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings' respective financial statements. 19Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 02-3, ''Accounting for Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities'' (EITF 02-3)

PSEG, PSE&G and Power have performed a review of their potential obligations under SFAS 143 and believe that these obligations are primarily related to the decommissioning of Power's nuclear power plants. Power's liability at December 31, 2002 In addition to the $261 million nuclear decommissioning liability, Power Power also had $131 million of cost of removal liabilities related to its fossil units, as of December 31, 2002, which did not meet the requirements of an asset retirement obligation (ARO) and were therefore reversed and included in the Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle. In addition, an ARO asset of $50 million was created in accordance with SFAS 143. As a result of reducing the existing nuclear decommissioning and cost of removal liabilities to their fair value and creating an ARO asset, PSEG and Power recorded a Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle of $370 million after-tax. Of this amount, $292 million (after-tax) relates to In August 2002, PSE&G filed a petition requesting clarification from the BPU regarding the future cost responsibility for nuclear decommissioning and whether: (a) PSE&G's customers will continue to pay for such costs; or (b) such customer responsibility will terminate at the end of the 20Note 3.

As of January 1, 2003, the liability as calculated under SFAS 143 is approximately $261 million. This liability was calculated using a probability-weighted average of multiple scenarios. The scenarios were each based on estimated cash flows which were discounted using Power's risk-adjusted interest rate at the required effective date of the standard and considering the expected time period of the cash outflows. The scenarios included estimates for inflation, contingencies, and assumptions related to the timing of decommissioning costs, using the current license lives for each unit as well as early shutdown and license extensions scenarios.

The outcome of this petition could affect the treatment of a material portion of the liability recorded for Power's nuclear decommissioning obligation. If the BPU determines that PSE&G's customers will continue to pay and have responsibility for these costs, $244 million will be reversed and deferred on PSEG's and Power's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability. Also, the Ratepayer Advocate has filed testimony in this petition recommending a return of funds to ratepayers due to the fact that they believe the NDT Fund is overfunded. An adverse resolution to this matter could have a material adverse effect on PSEG's and Power's results of operations, financial position and cash flows. A decision is expected prior to August 2003 and the outcome of this petition cannot be predicted. The $48 million related to the nuclear units purchased from ACE and DP&L and the $78 million related to the cost of removal liabilities for the fossil units would be unaffected by such a ruling.
The following table reflects pro forma results which include accretion and depreciation expense as if SFAS 143 had always been in effect. The pro forma amount of the liability for Power's asset retirement obligations for the periods ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, as well as the actual amount of the liability recorded on Power's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2003 are highlighted in the following table. These amounts were calculated using current information, current assumptions and current interest rates. PSE&G has identified certain other legal obligations that meet the criteria of SFAS 143, which at this time are not quantifiable and therefore are unable to be recorded. These obligations relate to certain industrial establishments subject to the Industrial Site Recovery Act, underground storage tanks subject to closure requirements, leases and licenses, and the requirement to seal natural gas pipelines at all sources of gas when the pipelines are no longer in service. As of January 1, 2003, PSE&G had no quantifiable legal liabilities, as contemplated under SFAS 143, recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheets and therefore the effect of adoption did not result in an adjustment to the Consolidated Statements of Operations. PSE&G does, however, have cost of removal liabilities embedded within Accumulated Depreciation pursuant to SFAS No. 71, ''Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation'' (SFAS 71). Since PSE&G is a regulated enterprise, these amounts, which total approximately $372 million, continue to be recorded and presented in Accumulated Depreciation. Energy Holdings has identified certain legal obligations that meet the criteria of SFAS 143, which are not material to its financial position, results of operations or net cash flows. 21 Quarters Ended

Power Prior to the adoption of SFAS 143, amounts collected from PSE&G customers that have been deposited into the NDT Fund and realized and unrealized gains and losses in the trust were all recorded as changes in the NDT Fund with an offsetting charge to the nuclear decommissioning liability. Because management believes that it is no longer probable that PSE&G's customers will continue to fund the NDT Fund, beginning in the first quarter of 2003, deferral accounting is no longer appropriate. Therefore, beginning January 1, 2003, realized gains and losses were recorded in earnings and unrealized gains and losses were recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), as appropriate under SFAS No. 115, ''Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities'' (SFAS 115). Additionally, because deferral accounting is no longer appropriate, as of January 1, 2003, Power had determined that approximately $40 million, of the $68 million of pre-tax unrealized losses on securities in the NDT Fund were Other than Temporarily impaired, discussed below, and recorded this amount against earnings in the Cumulative Effect of a Change in an Accounting Principle. As of March 31, 2003, Power had $772 million of invested assets recorded at fair market value on its Consolidated Balance Sheets in the NDT Fund. Power accounts for its investments in the NDT Fund as Available for Sale securities. Unrealized losses that are deemed to be Other than Temporary, as defined under SFAS 115 and related interpretive guidance, will be charged against earnings rather than OCI. Power considers several factors when determining if unrealized losses should be recorded against earnings as Other than Temporary impairments. These factors, such as the length of time and extent to which the fair value is below carrying value, the potential for impairments of securities when the issuer or industry is experiencing significant financial difficulties and Power's intent and ability to continue to hold securities, are used as indicators of the prospects of the securities to recover their value.

includes various Demand Side Management (DSM) investments. DSM investments in
long-term contracts represent expenditures made by Energy Technologies to share
DSM customers' costs associated with the installation of energy efficient
equipment. DSM revenues are earned principally from monthly payments received
from utilities, which represent shared electricity savings from the installation

During the second quarter of 2002, Energy Holdings completed its impairment
testing of all recorded goodwill in accordance with guidance set forth in SFAS
142 including the goodwill associated with the 11 HVAC/mechanical operating
companies acquired by Energy Technologies. Such analysis indicated that the
entire $53 million of goodwill associated with the HVAC/mechanical companies was
impaired, which resulted in a $32 million (after-tax) charge (net of $21 million
in taxes). In accordance with SFAS 142, this charge was recorded as of January

The sale of these companies is expected to be completed by June 30, 2003. We haveEnergy Holdings has retained the services of an investment-banking firm to market these companies to interested parties. The HVAC/mechanical operating companies meet the criteria for classification as components of discontinued operations and all prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
In the second quarter of 2002,initiated a process for the sale
of Energy Technologies' DSM investments, which we had expected to sell by June
30, 2003. Based on our assessments, we believe the fair market value of these
assets approximates their carrying value as of September 30, 2002 and no
reduction in the carrying amount is indicated. For the period ended June 30,
2002, Energy Technologies' DSM investments were classified as a component of
discontinued operations. In the third quarter of 2002, Energy Holdings decided
to continue to own the DSM investments. For the period ended September 30, 2002,
all DSM investments were reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing
operations and the consolidated statements for all periods presented have been
restated to reflect this reclassification.

The contract was transferred to Power in conjunction with the generation asset transfer in 2000. The contract provides for Power to supply ODEC with capacity and energy for a bundled rate that includes a component to recover multiple transmission charges (referred to as ''pancaked transmission rates''). In November 1997, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Power Pool (PJM) Restructuring Order, which required PSE&G to modify its contract with ODEC to remove pancaked transmission rates. While PSE&G sought rehearing of this order, it was nonetheless required to reduce its rate to ODEC by approximately $6 million per year, effective April 1, 1998. On December 19, 2002, based on a court ruling, FERC reversed its November 1997 order 23of these discontinued operations for the quarter and nine

At September 30, 2002, Global owned a 74% interest in Tanir Bavi Power Company
Private Ltd. (Tanir Bavi), which owns and operates a 220 MW barge mounted,
combined-cycle generating facility in India. A plan to exit Tanir Bavi was
adopted in June 2002. Global signed an agreement in August 2002 under which an
affiliate of its partner in this venture, GMR Vasavi Group, a local Indian

completed in October 2002. Tanir Bavi meetsIndia, met the criteria for classification as a component of discontinued operations and all prior periods have beenwere reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. In the second

thereby reinstating the original contract terms. This allows Power to collect amounts for April 1998 through December 2002 pursuant to the original contract. The difference in revenues between the contracted rate and the FERC-ordered reduced rate is approximately $30 million, inclusive of back interest. Power billed ODEC for this amount in January 2003 and will record this gain when realized. Power has been billing, recording and receiving payment on the higher rate beginning in January 2003. ODEC is paying these amounts but has protested both the past due and current amounts at the higher rates in a complaint at FERC. This matter is currently pending. Power Power has guaranteed certain commodity related transactions for its subsidiary, ER&T, which is involved in energy marketing activities. These guarantees were provided to counterparties in order to facilitate physical and financial agreements in gas, pipeline capacity, transportation, oil, electricity and related commodities and services. These Power guarantees support the current exposure, interest and other costs on sums due and payable by ER&T under these agreements. Guarantees offered for trading and marketing cover the granting of lines of credit between entities and are often reciprocal in nature. The exposure between counterparties can go either direction. The face value of the guarantees outstanding on March 31, 2003 was $1.2 billion. In order for Power to experience a liability of $1.2 billion, ER&T would have to fully utilize the credit granted to it by every counterparty to whom Power has provided a guarantee and all of ER&T's contracts would have to be ''out-of-the-money'', (if the contracts are terminated Power would owe money to the counterparties). The probability of all contracts at ER&T being simultaneously ''out-of-the-money'' given the nature of ER&T's asset backed transactions is highly unlikely. For this reason, the current exposure at any point in time is a more meaningful representation of the liability under these guarantees. The current exposure from such liabilities was $506 million as of March 31, 2003. The current exposure consists of the net of accounts receivable and accounts payable (AR/AP), where netting is permitted, and the forward value on open positions. The net AR/AP for these transactions is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and for the In addition, all Master Agreements and other supply contracts contain margin and/or other collateral requirements that, as of In addition, Power has As of March 31, 2003, letters of credit issued by Power were outstanding in the amount of approximately Power has also provided credit support for equity contributions relating to its subsidiaries relating to the construction of its Energy Holdings Energy Holdings and/or Global have guaranteed certain obligations of 24Guaranteed Obligations

PSE&G and Hazardous Waste The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulations concerning site investigation and remediation require an ecological evaluation of potential injuries to natural resources in connection with a remedial investigation of contaminated sites. The NJDEP is presently working with the energy industry to develop procedures for implementing these regulations. These regulations may substantially increase the costs of remedial investigations and remediations, where necessary, particularly at sites situated on surface water bodies.

In addition, the guarantee can be triggered by transferring the shares of certain loan parties without lender consent. Breach of this transfer covenant can be cured by delivering certain pledge agreements relating to the ownership of loan parties to the lenders. Global could also be liable for any incremental direct damages arising from the breach of these covenants. Given the likely cure of any breach by the project sponsors, such a contingent obligation has a low probability of
being triggered,is remote and, therefore, no provision has been made in our Energy Holdings'

the actual swap at inception and on an ongoing basis. The assessment will be
done periodically to ensure the swaps continue to be effective. PSEG determines
the fair value of interest rate swaps through counterparty valuations, internal
valuations and the Bloomberg swap valuation function. There have been no
material changes in the techniques or models used in the valuation of interest
rate swaps during the periods presented. There is minimal impact of counterparty
credit risk on the fair value of the hedges since our policies require that our
counterparties have investment grade credit ratings.

9.10. Financial Information by Business Segment
Power's business has evolved during 2002. With the transfer of the BGSS (i.e.,
natural gas supply requirements contact) contract to Power and the commencement
of the new BGS Contracts with wholesale electric suppliers, Power's business has
become a fully integrated wholesale energy supply business. As a result of that
evolution of Power's business, trading activities changed from a stand-alone
operation to a function that has become fully integrated with the wholesale
energy supply business, and primarily serves to optimize the value of that
business. Therefore, upon review and in accordance with SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (SFAS
131), we have determined that Power's generation and trading components no
longer meet the definition of separate operating segments for financial
reporting purposes and, effective with this filing, we have reported Power's
financial position and results of operations as one segment. All prior periods
have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, excluding these
charges, earnings were $207 million or $1.00 per share and $535 million or $2.59
per share, respectively. Comparable earnings for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2001 were $175 million or $0.84 per share and $584
million or $2.80 per share, respectively.
Thesignificant quarter-to-quarter increase in earnings, excluding the charges discussed above, for the three
month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in the
prior year is primarily due to higher BGS margins at Power due to its successful
participation as an indirect supplier of energy to New Jersey's utilities,
including PSE&G, involved in New Jersey's recent basic generation service (BGS)
auction. The BGS auction had a meaningful effect on our earnings, particularly
since August 1, 2002, when the new BGS contracts went into effect. Also
contributing to the increase were lower Operations and Maintenance expenses at
PSE&G, increased earnings from Global, primarily due to the acquisitions late in
2001, increased earnings at RGE, a Brazilian electric distribution company, as
well as the commencement of operations at the generation facility in Rades,
Tunisia (Rades) and higher Net Investment Gains (Losses) in Resources' leveraged
buyout funds.
35
The decrease in earnings, excluding the charges discussed above, for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in
2001 resulted primarily from lower margins at PSE&G and higher Operation and
Maintenance expense at Power. These decreases were partially offset by higher
BGS margins at Power.

Future Outlook
We expectrelated to meet our revised earnings-per-share targets for 2002 of $3.70goodwill impairments at Energy Holdings.
Earnings Available to Power's Income from Continuing Operations increased $57 million to $177 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The principal driver of these results was the effective management of its electric and natural gas portfolio during the period. The Basic Gas Supply Service (BGSS) and the Basic Generation Service (BGS) related contracts became effective on May 1 and August 1, 2002, respectively. The impact of these contracts helped provide Power with ongoing results that were Also impacting the quarter was the adoption of SFAS 143 resulting in an after-tax benefit of $370 million. The benefit is related to the required remeasurement of Power's asset retirement obligations, mainly nuclear decommissioning, within its businesses.

$185 million and Energy Holdings is expected to earn $145 million to $155
million, excluding the previously discussed charges. Power's successful
participation as an indirect supplier of energy to New Jersey's utilities,
including PSE&G, in New Jersey's recent BGS auction is expected to have a
meaningful effect on our earnings for the remainder of the year and should help
to partially offset the lack of earnings contributions from Energy Holdings'
investments in Argentina. The fourth quarter is expected to be strong, as Power
benefits from its fixed price BGS contracts while it is able to source energy at
economically attractive prices during this period of low demand.
While Global realized substantial growth in 2001, significant challenges which
began developing during the fourthfirst quarter of 2001 have continued into 2002.
These challenges include the Argentine economic, political and social crisis,
the soft power market in Texas, recent developments in India and the worldwide
economic downturn. The financial effects of several of these challenges were
recorded in the second quarter of 2002. Also, we have recently reached a
settlement with AES related to our investments held for sale in Argentina,
receiving $15 million in October 2002 and receiving $15 million in notes which
mature on various dates ending in July 2003. Similarly, we have completed the
sale of our investment in Tanir Bavi at its reduced carrying value, receiving
proceeds of approximately $45 million in October 2002. Going forward, Global
will limit its spending to contractual commitments and refocuse its strategy
from one of accelerated growth to one that places emphasis on increasing the
efficiency and returns of its existing assets.
We have taken significant steps to address the pressures in the volatile
financial marketplace. We issued $460 million of participating equity preference
units, a mandatorily convertible preferred security, in September 2002 and we
continue to issue approximately $80 million of equity on an annual basis through
our dividend reinvestment program. In addition to these equity issuances, we
have further trimmed our capital expenditure program by recently revising the
timeline for the completion of three generating station construction projects,
which is in addition to previous reductions at Global and Resources. After this
year, which is an end of a peak period of capital expenditures, our internal
cash generation will significantly exceed our capital and dividend requirements.
In addition, we would also consider an additional equity issuance to accelerate
the further strengthening of our balance sheet.
Looking ahead, our business fundamentals remain strong and we continue to
produce solid cash flows. However, several of the assumptions in ourended March 31, 2003
planning process have changed in this evolving economic environment.
Specifically, two factors, increased pension expense due to the erosion of the
value of the investments in our pension plans, and the need to improve capital
structures in this volatile marketplace, are currently being considered as we
develop our 2003 business plan. As a result of these factors, we will likely
reduce our previous 2003 earnings target of $4.00 to $4.20. However, even if we
issued equity, we expect our 2003 earnings per share to be comparable to this
year's results due to our strong business fundamentals.
Other assumptions in our 2003 business plan are that: Power will continue to
benefit from its performance as a wholesale BGS provider with the new one year
BGS contract that began August 1, 2002 and a reasonable outcome to next year's
contract beginning August 1, 2003; PSE&G will have a successful outcome to its
recently filed electric rate case seeking an approximately $250 million increase
in electric rates beginning in August 2003, and benefit from more normal
weather; Global, with its major risks in Argentina and India behind it,
significant cost-cutting measures in place and limited spending planned over the
five year planning horizon, expects improvements in earnings through its focus
on increasing the return on its existing assets; and Resources, with recent
investments and less exposure to its investment in the KKR leveraged buyout
funds, expects to continue to be a steady contributor to earnings and cash
flows.
Factors Affecting Future Outlook
As a result of more than 70% of our earnings, excluding the changes discussed
above, coming from unregulated businesses, the continued changes in political,
legislative, regulatory and economic conditions in the many countries in which
we do business, the inherent price volatility of the commodities in our
businesses, and many other factors, it is much more difficult to accurately
forecast our future earnings. Some of the key sensitivities and risks of our
businesses are discussed below.
Power's success as a BGS provider will depend, in part, on its ability to meet
its obligations under its full requirements contracts with the BGS suppliers in
a profitable manner. Power expects to accomplish this by producing energy from
its own generation and/or energy purchases in the market. Power also enters into
trading positions related to its generation assets and supply obligations. To
the extent it does not hedge its obligations, whether long or short, Power will
be subject to the risk of price fluctuations that could affect its future
results, such as increases in the price of energy purchased to meet its supply
obligations, the cost of fuel to generate electricity,
37
the cost of congestion credits that Power needs to transmit electricity and
other factors. In addition, Power is subject to the risk of subpar operating
performance of its fossil and nuclear generating units. To the extent there are
unexpected outages at Power's generating facilities, changes in environmental or
nuclear regulations or other factors which impact the production by such units
or the ability to generate and transmit electricity in a cost-effective manner,
it may cost us more to produce electricity or we may be required to purchase
higher cost energy to replace the energy we anticipated producing. These risks
can be exacerbated by, among other things, changes in demand in electricity
usage, such as those due to extreme weather and economic conditions.
Power's future revenue stream is also uncertain. Due to the timing of the New
Jersey BGS auction process, the majority of Power's revenues for August 1, 2003
and thereafter cannot be accurately predicted. Also, certain of Power's new
projects, such as our investments in the Lawrenceburg and Waterford projects in
the Midwest, the plants we are acquiring from Wisvest in Connecticut, and our
development of the Bethlehem Energy Center in New York are also subject to the
risk of changes in future energy prices as Power has not entered into forward
sale contracts for the majority of their expected generation capacity. Also,
since the majority of our generation facilities are concentrated in the
Northeast region, changes in future energy supply and demand and energy-related
prices in this region could materially affect our results. Also, changes in the
rules and regulation of these markets by FERC, particularly changes in the
ability to maintain market based rates, could have an adverse impact on our
results. As a result of these variables and risks, we cannot predict the impact
of these potential future changes on our forecasted results of operations,
financial position, or net cash flows, however such impact could be material.
In addition, our earnings projections assume that we will continue to optimize
the value of our portfolio of generating assets and supply obligations through
our energy trading operations. This will depend, in part, on our, as well as our
counterparties', ability to maintain sufficient creditworthiness and to display
a willingness to participate in energy trading activities at anticipated
volumes. Potential changes in the mechanisms of conducting trading activity,
such as the continued availability of energy trading exchanges, could positively
or negatively affect trading volumes and liquidity in these energy trading
markets compared to the assumptions of these factors embedded in our business
plans. As a result of these variables, we cannot predict the impact of these
potential future changes on our forecasted results of operations, financial
position, or net cash flows, however such impact could be material.
PSE&G's success will be dependent, in part, on its ability to obtain a
reasonable outcome, which cannot be assured, to its recently filed electric rate
case as well as its ability to continue to recover the regulatory assets it has
deferred and the investments it plans to make in its electric and gas
transmission and distribution systems. Mitigating this rate increase to
customers are overrecoveries of the SBC and NTC and the potential securitization
of the expected BGS underrecovery. As of September 30, 2002, PSE&G has
implemented BPU mandated rate reductions totaling 13.9% since August 1, 1999,
including a 4.9% rate reduction effective August 1, 2002, which will be in
effect until July 31, 2003. This rate reduction reduces the Market Transition
Charge (MTC) rate paid to Power and therefore reduces Power's revenues.
Energy Holdings' success will be dependent, in part, on its ability to mitigate
risks presented by its international strategy. The economic and political
conditions in certain countries where Global has investments present risks that
may be different than those found in the United States including: renegotiation
or nullification of existing contracts, changes in law or tax policy,
interruption of business, risks of nationalization, expropriation, war, and
other factors. Operations in foreign countries also present risks associated
with currency exchange and convertibility, inflation and repatriation of
earnings. In some countries in which Global has interests, economic and monetary
conditions and other factors could affect Global's ability to convert its cash
distributions to US Dollars or other freely convertible currencies and move
funds. Furthermore, the central bank of any such country may have the authority
to suspend, restrict or otherwise impose conditions on foreign exchange
transactions or to approve distributions to foreign investors. Although Global
generally seeks to structure power purchase contracts and other project revenue
agreements to provide for payments to be made in, or indexed to, US Dollars or a
currency freely convertible into US Dollars, its ability to do so in all cases
may be limited.
The international risks discussed above can potentially be magnified due to the
volatility of foreign currencies. The foreign exchange rates of the Brazilian
Real, Chilean Peso and Peruvian Sol have recently weakened due to various
political and economic factors. This could result in comparatively lower
contributions from our distribution investments in US Dollar terms. While we
still expect certain of Energy Holdings' investments in Latin America to
38
contribute significantly to our earnings in the future, the political and
economic risks associated with this region could have a material adverse impact
on our remaining investments in the region.
Certain of Global's projects are also subject to the risk of changing future
energy prices, including its investment in two 1,000 MW facilities in Texas
which have performed below expectations due to lower energy prices than we had
anticipated, primarily resulting from the over-supply of energy in the Texas
power market. Global expects this trend to continue until the 2004-2005 time
frame when market prices are expected to increase, as older less efficient
plants in the Texas power market are expected to be retired and the demand for
electricity is expected to increase and has included these assumptions within
its business plans. However, no assurances can be given as to the accuracy of
these estimates and changes in these estimates could have a material impact on
its forecasted results of operations, financial position, or net cash flows.
Energy Holdings, through Resources, also faces risks with regard to the
creditworthiness of its counterparties, as well as the risk of a change in the
current tax treatment of its investments in leveraged leases. The manifestation
of either of these risks could cause a materially adverse effect on its strategy
and its forecasted results of operations, financial position, or net cash flows.
For discussion of certain counterparties to these leases who have been
downgraded to below investment grade by at least one of the rating agencies, see
Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In addition, we have exposure to the equity and debt markets through our
substantial use of short-term financing, lower pension fund balances, the effect
of lower assumed rate of investment returns on our pension expense, the effect
of a lower discount rate on our pension plan liabilities and costs, the
potential impact to Resources' investment in the KKR leveraged buyout funds, and
other equity and debt investments held by us. Also, increases in the cost of
capital, which could result from market and lender concerns regarding us, our
industry, United States and international economic conditions and other factors,
could make it more difficult for us to enter into profitable investments. Recent
market trends could also affect our ability to access capital, potentially
impacting both our business plans and opportunities as well as our liquidity.
Also, changes in our credit ratings by rating agencies could significantly
impact our access to capital, cost of capital, ability to meet earnings
expectations and future business plans. Also, as a result of market price
volatility, the fair value of the debt of certain of our subsidiaries has
experienced significant volatility. We are also subject to credit risk. See Item
3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk for further
discussion.
Results of Operations
Operating Revenues
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Operating Revenues increased by
$711 million or 44%, due primarily to a $407 million increase in revenues from
Power. Also contributing to the increase for the three months ended September
30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 20012002. Colder weather, causing greater demand for heating was the key driver for improved margins at PSE&G during the first quarter of 2003. This improved PSE&G's earnings significantly when compared to the results produced during the mild winter last year and helped to offset higher operation and maintenance expenses, pension and other costs. PSE&G is projecting earnings of $210 million to $230 million for the full year of 2003.Power
increasesmore than 35% higher than achieved in the first quarter of $44last year. In addition, Power benefited in the first quarter from its operation of two generating facilities in Connecticut that were acquired in December 2002. Power is projecting Income from Continuing Operations at $475 million $10to $520 million and $7for the full year of 2003.at Global, PSE&Gto $547 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2003 versus 2002.
Energy Holdings' Income from Continuing Operations increased $53 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 due primarily to the timing of a contractual payment from Eagle Point Cogeneration Partnership (EPCP), which was recorded in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the second quarter of 2002 and Earnings Available to PSEG increased $159 million to $38 million during the first quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. For the same period in 2002, Energy Holdings generated a loss of $121 million. The quarter-to-quarter change is largely attributable to the adoption of SFAS 142 in the first quarter of 2002, which resulted in an after-tax charge of $120 million. Also contributing was the timing of a contractual payment from EPCP, discussed above, which was partially offset by higher Losses from Discontinued Operations. Operating Revenues For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Operating Revenues increased by $1.5 billion or 79%. This was due primarily to an increase at PSEG's operating companies including a $479 million increase from Power related to the new In addition, a Operating Expenses Energy Costs For the 44Energy Holdings
Resources, respectively.
Included in Power's increase were increases of $172 million of gas revenues
relating to its BGSS contract and off-system sales resulting from the Gas
Contract transfer from PSE&G in May 2002. Also contributing to Power's increase
was a $268 million increase in electric revenues, primarily due to the absence of the currency-related charges in Argentina recorded in 2002. Energy Holdings expects Income from Continuing Operations of $145 million to $155 million for the full year of 2003.Results of Operations

2% rate reduction in August 2001. These rate reductions reduceportion of the MTC revenues
that PSE&G remits to Power as part of its BGS contract. Also offsetting the
increases were lower net trading revenues of approximately $23 million due to
lower trading volumes and prices during the three months ended September 30,
2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
39
The increase in Operating Revenues at Global was due primarily to $31 million of
increases related to the acquisition late in the third quarter of 2001 of SAESA,
a Chilean distribution company and $10 million of increases related to the
acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2001 of Electroandes, a Peruvian generation
company. Global's Operating Revenues also increased $32 million due to the generation facility located in Rades, Tunisia commencing operation via a
retroactive commercial operating date in the second quarter of 2002. Also
contributing $16 million to the increase in revenues was Skawina in Poland in
which we purchased a majority ownership late in the second quarter of 2002.
Revenues further increased by $8 million due to improved earnings from RGE as
new regulatory changes allow RGE to recover from customers prior tariff charges
previously expensed. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease at
EDEERSA of $18 million, which reflects the ongoing economic crisis in Argentina.
There were also decreased earnings totaling $9 million at our GWF generation
facilities due to a reversal of an accounts receivable reserve in 2001 related
to California Power exchange pricing in 2001 and lower prices in 2002 as
compared to 2001; and decreased earnings of $8 million at our TIE generation
facilities due to lower energy prices in 2002 as compared to 2001.
The increase in Operating Revenues from PSE&G related to $41 million of higher
electric transmission and distribution revenues offset by $31 million of lower
gas distribution revenues.
The $7 million increase at Resources was primarily related to higher Net Gains
(Losses) on Investments resulting from no net change in the carrying value of
publicly traded and private securities held within the KKR leveraged buyout
funds in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to a $8 million loss in the same
period of 2001.
The remaining $243 million increase is due primarily tofact that Power's BGS or commodity
revenues in August and September of 2002are not being eliminated in consolidation subsequent to July 2002 by PSEG. Under the prior BGS contract, which terminated on July 31, 2002, Power sold energy directly to PSE&G, which in turn sold this energy to its customers. These revenues were properly recognized on each company's stand-alone financial statements and were eliminated when preparing our consolidated financial
statements.PSEG's Consolidated Financial Statements. For the new BGS contract period beginning August 1, 2002, Power sells toentered into contracts with third partyparties who are direct suppliers and other load serving entities (LSEs)of New Jersey's Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs) and PSE&G purchases the energy for its customers' needs from third partysuch direct suppliers. Due to this change in the BGS model, these revenues are no longer intercompany revenues and therefore are not eliminated in consolidation. This amount would have beenFor the quarter ended March 31, 2003, PSEG's elimination related to intercompany BGS and Market Transition Charge (MTC) revenues decreased by approximately $366$412 million for August and September 2002, representing the
amount which PSE&G's cost to supply electricity to its customers, and is
partially offset by $118 million of intercompany eliminations relatingas compared to the BGSS contract betweenquarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily to this change. Also related to this change in the BGS model, PSE&G, in 2002, began selling energy purchased under non-utility generation (NUG) contracts, which it had previously sold to Power, and PSE&G which began in May 2002.to third parties. As a result, for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, PSEG's revenues related to NUG contracts increased by approximately $28 million.nine monthsquarter ended September 30,March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, Operating RevenuesEnergy Costs increased by

million increase at Energy Holdings, relating to projects going into operation at Global, discussed further below under Energy Holdings. In addition, a portion of the increase was due to the fact that PSE&G no longer purchases electric energy directly from Power, as discussed above in Operating Revenues. Amounts attributable to this change totaled $440 million between the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and Operations and Maintenance For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Operations and Maintenance expense increased $57 million or 12% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due to a $16 million increase at Power primarily caused by scheduled outages at certain electric generating stations, an increase at Energy Holdings of $8 million, due mainly to costs associated with projects going into operation and a $32 million increase at PSE&G due primarily to higher Demand Side Management (DSM) amortization, discussed further below under PSE&G. Depreciation and Amortization For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Depreciation and Amortization decreased by $31 million or 24% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to a decrease of $29 million at PSE&G, mainly due to an increase in the amortization of the excess depreciation reserve. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes Taxes Other Than Income Taxes is comprised of the Transitional Energy Facility Assessment (TEFA) tax at PSE&G. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $6 million or 16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This increase was due primarily to an increase of $6 million in the TEFA due to increased sales. Legislation enacted in January 2002 freezes the TEFA unit rate surcharges at the 2001 levels through 2004 and then reduces the rates over the next three years, phasing out the TEFA by 2007. Income from Income from Equity Method Investments decreased $13 million or 43% to $17 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $30 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was due primarily to lower earnings in 2002 of $8 million at Rio Grande Energia (RGE), an electric distribution company in Brazil mainly driven by regulatory changes that allowed RGE to recover from customers prior tariff charges previously expensed, as well as higher energy purchases, higher inflation rates and higher effective tax rates in the current year. Also contributing to the decrease was $3 million in interest income related to a note receivable from The AES Corporation (AES) in 2002. Other Income For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Other Income increased by $49 million as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to a $47 million increase at Power, a $10 million increase at PSE&G, partially offset by a $7 million decrease at Energy Holdings. Power's increase is due primarily to realized gains and the recognition of interest and dividend income in its Nuclear Decommissioning Trust (NDT) Fund. The increase at PSE&G primarily relates to $8 million of gains recorded on the disposition of property in the current year. The decrease at Energy Holdings primarily relates to a decrease in net derivative gains. Other Deductions For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Other Deductions decreased by $7 million as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to $52 million less in foreign currency transaction losses related to US Dollar debt in Argentina recorded in 2002. This was partially offset by the recognition of $33 million of realized losses in Power's NDT Fund. 45$1612002.Global.Equity Method Subsidiaries
Interest Expense For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Interest Expense decreased $4 million or 2% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily to a $6 million decrease at PSE&G and a $4 million decrease at Energy Holdings, partially offset by a $6 million increase at PSEG. Preferred Securities Dividends For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Preferred Securities Dividends increased approximately $4 million due primarily to higher preferred dividend requirements at PSEG. Income Taxes For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Income Taxes increased $70 million or 61% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002 including a $43 million increase at Power, a $14 million increase at PSE&G and a $17 million increase at Energy Holdings which were primarily attributable to higher pre-tax income. These increases were partially offset by a Losses From Discontinued Operations Operating results of Energy Technologies' HVAC/mechanical operating companies, less certain allocated costs from Energy Holdings, have been reclassified into In addition, Tanir Bavi, Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Power recorded a $370 million Operating Revenues PSE&G's operating revenues increased by $489 million or 29% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. The primary reason for the increase was a $459 million or 56% increase in gas revenues. Electric revenues also increased by $30 million or 4%. Total gas sales volumes increased by 25% in 2003 due primarily to favorable weather conditions this past winter resulting in added revenues of $222 million comprised of commodity sales of $117 million and delivery sales of $105 million. Increase in prices added $245 million to 2003 revenues. Gas commodity charges vary monthly with the price of gas for commercial and industrial customers and those revenues increased $188 million for the quarter ended March 2003. Commodity charges to residential customers are levelized through the BGSS-RSG tariff with the difference between commodity revenue and cost deferred. Two BGSS-Residential Service Gas (RSG) rate increases were implemented during the first quarter of 2003 totaling 12%, which contributed $57 million to 2003 46$364 million decrease in revenues from PSE&G.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Power's increased Operating
Revenues included $273 million of gas revenues relating to its BGSS contract and
off-system sales resulting from the Gas Contract transfer from PSE&G in May
2002. Also contributing to the increase was a $228 million increase in electric
revenues, primarily due to the new BGS contracts with third party wholesale
electric suppliers which went into effect August 1, 2002 and comparably warmer
weather which were partially offset by lower MTC revenues primarily due to a
4.9% rate reduction in August 2002 and two 2% rate reductions in August 2001 and
February 2001. Also offsetting the increases were lower net trading revenues of
approximately $79 million due to lower trading volumes and prices during the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001.
The increase at Global was due primarily to $142 million related to the
acquisitions of SAESA and Electroandes and $32 million due to the inception of
operations at Rades, as discussed previously. Also contributing $16 million to
the increase in revenues was Skawina, in which we purchased a majority ownership
late in the second quarter of 2002 as discussed above. Revenues further
increased at Global by $21 million due to improved earnings from RGE as a result
of the new regulatory changes described above. Partially offsetting these
increases were decreases in earnings of $18 million at GWF Energy and $17
million at TIE as a result of lower energy prices.
The decrease in PSE&G's Operating Revenues primarily related to a $344 million
decrease in gas distribution revenues primarily due to decreased commodity
rates, approximately $176 million, lower sales to interruptible
40
customers, approximately $111 million, lower sales volumes primarily from the
warmer winter in 2002, approximately $90 million and lower off-system sales
revenues, approximately $14 million. In addition, electric transmission and
distribution revenues decreased $20 million. These decreases were partially
offset by increased gas base rates, approximately $43 million and higher other
operating revenues (approximately $7 million).
The remaining $154 million increase is due primarily to Power's BGS or commodity
revenues in August and September of 2002 not being eliminated in consolidation
by PSEG as discussed previously. This amount would have been approximately $366
million for August and September 2002, representing the amount which PSE&G's
cost to supply electricity to its customers, and is partially offset by $217
million of intercompany eliminations relating to the BGSS contract between Power
and PSE&G which began in May 2002.
Operating Expenses
Energy Costs
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Energy Costs increased $590
million or 104% due primarily to increases of $332 million and $34 million at
Power and Global, respectively, partially offset by a $17$4 million decrease at PSE&G. The remaining increase in Energy Costs is due primarily to a net
difference in intercompany eliminations of approximately $248 million, discussed
above in Operating Revenues.
Power's increases were primarily due to increased energy purchases for the BGS
and third party wholesale electric supplier contracts of approximately $122
million due to higher volumes and $197 million of increased gas purchases to
satisfy Power's BGSS contract and its fuel needs for generation. Also
contributing to the increase were approximately $43 million of increased network
transmission expenses in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Power Pool (PJM).
These increases were offset by $22 million of gains on fuel hedges, $5 million
of reduced congestion charges due to more efficient unit scheduling by PJM and a
$3 million decrease in nuclear fuel usage.
The increases at Global for the three months ended September 30, 2002 were
primarily due to operating expenses incurred at SAESA and Electroandes. The
operating expenses for the comparable periods in 2001 did not include expenses
for Electroandes as itPSEG, which was purchased in the fourth quarter of 2001, and included
only a portion of expenses for SAESA as it was purchased late in the third
quarter of 2001.
The decrease at PSE&G primarily related to a decrease in gas costs primarily dueattributable to lower commodity rates, approximately $16 million, which became effective
January 9, 2002, lower revenues from interruptible customers, approximately $12
million, due to lower volumes at lower rates and lower off-system sales
revenues, approximately $5 million, due to lower volumes. These decreases were
partially offset by increased electric energy costs primarily due to higher
commodity sales volumes under the BGS contract, approximately $43 million,
increases in the amortization of the excess electric distribution depreciation
reserve, approximately $6 million (discussed below in Depreciation and
Amortization), increases in MTC charges from Power, other than rate reductions,
approximately $6 million and increases in Non-Utility Generation Transition
Charge (NTC) costs due to higher sales volumes, approximately $3 million.
Partially offsetting the increases is the impact of the rate reductions,
approximately $42 million, discussed above in Operating Revenues.
Under the BGSS, our gas costs in excess of (or below) the amount included in
current commodity rates, are probable of being recovered from (returned to) to
customers through future commodity rates. Under SFAS 71, we defer (record) costs
in excess of (or below) the amount included in current commodity rates.
Therefore any increase or decrease in our gas commodity revenue is offset by a
corresponding increase or decrease in gas costs on the income statement.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Energy Costs increased $279
million or 14% due primarily to increases of $377 million and $92 million at
Power and Global, respectively, partially offset by a $341 million
41
decrease at PSE&G. The remaining increase in Energy Costs is due primarily to a
net difference in intercompany eliminations of approximately $149 million,
discussed above in Operating Revenues.
Power's increases were primarily due to increased energy purchases for the BGS
and third party wholesale electric supplier contacts of approximately $144
million due to higher volumes and $276 million of increased gas purchases to
satisfy Power's BGSS contract and its fuel needs for generation. Also
contributing to the increase was higher network transmission expenses of $35
million for PJM and $11 million of increased coal purchases. These higher
expenses were partially offset by a $13 million decrease in nuclear fuel usage
and a $36 million decrease in oil consumption. Further expense reductions can be
attributed to $14 million of decreases in fuel hedges, $13 million decrease in
Non-Utility Generation (NUG) purchases and $13 million in lower congestion
charges due to less constraint in the system.
The increases at Global for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 were
primarily due to operating expenses incurred at SAESA and Electroandes,
discussed above.
PSE&G's decreases were due primarily to a decrease in gas costs of approximately
$350 million primarily due to lower commodity costs, approximately $176 million,
lower revenues from interruptible customers, approximately $111 million, due to
lower volumes at lower rates, lower sales volumes as a result of the warmer
weather in 2002, approximately $52 million and lower off-system sales revenues,
approximately $9 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased
electric energy costs of $9 million primarily due to higher commodity sales
volumes under the BGS contract, approximately $90 million and higher amounts
paid to Power relating to the amortization of the excess electric distribution
depreciation reserve, approximately $22 million. Partially offsetting the
increases is the impact of the rate reductions, approximately $85 million,
discussed above in Operating Revenues, lower NUG energy sales, approximately $13
million and lower market rates and lower MTC charges from Power, other than rate
reductions, approximately $4 million.
Operation and Maintenance
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, Operations and Maintenance
expense decreased $2 million as compared to same period in 2001 due primarily to
a decrease at PSE&G resulting from a management initiative to lower PSE&G's
Operation and Maintenance costs. This decrease was partially offset by increases
at Power, primarily from scheduled outage work at its electric generating
stations, and increases at Global, relating to the operations of SAESA and
Electroandes, discussed previously.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, Operations and Maintenance expense
increased $13 million or 1% as compared to the same period in 2001 due primarily
to increases at Power and Global, partially offset by the decreases at PSE&G,
discussed above.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, Depreciation and
Amortization increased $15 million or 10% and $61 million or 16%, respectively,
as compared to the same periods in 2001, primarily due to increases at PSE&G,
resulting from an increase in depreciable fixed assets, higher depreciation
expense recorded in accordance with increased gas base rates and amortization
related to securitization. The increases were partially offset by higher
amortization of the excess electric distribution depreciation reserve.
Interest Expense
Interest Expense increased $9 million or 5% and $58 million or 11% for the three
and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to
the same periods in 2001 primarily due to additional long-term debt at Power and
Energy Holdings issued to finance recent acquisitions and development.

Income Taxes
Income taxes increased $75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002
as compared to the same period in 2001 due partially to higher income in the
current quarter. Prior period tax adjustments recorded in 2001 reflecting the
conclusion of the 1994-96 IRS audit settlement and the actual filing of the 2000
tax return also contributed to the increase.
Income taxes decreased $173 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
as compared to the same period in 2001 primarily due to lower income in the
current year, offset by the prior period adjustments discussed above.
pre-tax income.
Energy Technologies
Energy Technologies is comprised of 11 heating, ventilating and air conditioning
(HVAC) and mechanical operating companies and an asset management group which
includes various Demand Side Management (DSM) investments. DSM investments in
long-term contracts represent expenditures made by Energy Technologies to share
DSM customers' costs associated with the installation of energy efficient
equipment. DSM revenues are earned principally from monthly payments received
from utilities, which represent shared electricity savings from the installation
of the energy efficient equipment.
During the second quarter of 2002, Energy Holdings completed its impairment
testing of all recorded goodwill in accordance with guidance set forth in SFAS
142 including the goodwill associated with the 11 HVAC/mechanical operating
companies acquired by Energy Technologies. Such analysis indicated that the
entire $53 million of goodwill associated with the HVAC/mechanical companies was
impaired, which resulted in a $32 million (after-tax) charge (net of $21 million
in taxes). In accordance with SFAS 142, this charge was recorded as of January
1, 2002 as a Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle and reflected
in our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.
In June 2002, Energy Holdings adopted a plan to sell its interests in the
HVAC/mechanical operating companies. The sale of these companies is expected to
be completed by June 30, 2003. We have retained the services of an
investment-banking firm to market these companies to interested parties. The
HVAC/mechanical operating companies meet the criteria for classification as
components of discontinued operations and all prior periods have been
reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.
In the second quarter of 2002, Energy Holdings initiated a process for the sale
of Energy Technologies' DSM investments, which we had expected to sell by June
30, 2003. Based on our assessments, we believe the fair market value of these
assets approximates their carrying value as of September 30, 2002 and no
reduction in the carrying amount is indicated. For the period ended June 30,
2002, Energy Technologies' DSM investments were classified as a component of
discontinued operations. In the third quarter of 2002, Energy Holdings decided
to continue to own the DSM investments. For the period ended September 30, 2002,
all DSM investments were reclassified from discontinued operations to continuing
operations and the consolidated statements for all periods presented have been
restated to reflect this reclassification.
In addition to the goodwill impairment, Energy Holdings has further reduced the
carrying value of the investments in the 11 HVAC/mechanical operating companies
to their fair value less costs to sell, and recorded a loss on disposal for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 of $20 million, net of $11 million in taxes. As
of September 30, 2002, the carrying value of the HVAC/mechanical operating
companies approximates the fair value and accordingly no additional reduction in
the carrying value was required for the three months ended September 30, 2002.
Energy Holdings' remaining investment position in Energy Technologies is
approximately $110 million, of which approximately $32 million relates to
deferred tax assets from discontinued operations, for which no valuation
allowance is deemed
43
necessary. Excluding the deferred tax assets from discontinued operations,
approximately $40 million of our remaining investment balance relates to the
asset management group. Although we believe that we will be able to sell the
HVAC/mechanical companies, we can give no assurances that we will be able to
realize their total carrying values.discontinued operationsDiscontinued Operations in ourthe Consolidated Statements of Operations. The results of operations of these discontinued operations for the quarterquarters ended March 31, 2003 and nine
months ended September 30, 2002 yielded additional after-tax losses of $3$6 million (after-tax) and $12$4 million, (after-tax), respectively,respectively. For additional information, see Note 4. Discontinued Operations of the Notes. Due to current market conditions, Energy Holdings re-evaluated the carrying value of Energy Technologies and are disclosed below:

revenues. Other gas operating revenues declined by $7 million in 2003 as a result of no longer having off-system sales following the sale of the gas contract business to Power in May of 2002, a reduction of $13 million which was offset partially by a $4 million improvement in gas appliance repair sales. Electric sales volumes increased by 7% due primarily to favorable weather conditions this past winter which resulted in approximately $60 million in added revenue. Offsetting this increase was the effect of a 4.9% rate decrease effective in August 2002, which reduced revenues by approximately $45 million. This is offset by lower Energy Costs, discussed below. Sales of NUG power added $20 million to 2003 revenues as compared to 2002 due primarily to an increase in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland Power Pool (PJM) locational marginal pricing. Operating Expenses Energy Costs Gas costs increased by $386 million or 73% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. The cost of gas purchased increased $173 million due to a 25% increase in the price of gas, and $130 million due to an increase in commodity sales volume due primarily to favorable weather conditions this past winter. Additionally, gas cost increased by $75 million for the current deferral of BGSS-RSG costs to match current commodity revenues. Electric costs increased $62 million or 12% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. BGS purchases increased $67 million due to a 15% increase in prices effective August 1, 2002 and $30 million due to an increase in sales volumes due primarily to favorable weather conditions this past winter. Net MTC payments to Power increased $6 million due to a $52 million increase in the amortization of the excess depreciation reserve partially offset by the impact of the rate reduction of $45 million. NUG energy cost decreased $4 million as the result of a $15 million decrease in volumes purchased offset by a higher average price of $11 million. In addition, electric costs decreased by $37 million due to the deferral of energy costs in excess of the amount included in revenues. Operations and Maintenance Operations and Maintenance expense increased $32 million or 13% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. The primary reason for the change was an $18 million increase in DSM program amortization driven by higher sales and a rate increase for gas DSM recovery in November 2002. The gas increase is included in the delivery volume revenue increase discussed above. DSM costs are deferred when incurred and amortized to Operations and Maintenance expense when recovered in revenues. Other contributors to the Operations and Maintenance expense increase were higher labor costs of $12 million, almost half of which was attributable to higher pension costs. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation and Amortization decreased $29 million or 31% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. The primary reason for the decrease is a reduction of $37 million for an increase in the amortization of an excess electric distribution depreciation reserve. This amortization will conclude on July 31, 2003, the end of the transition period. Offsetting this decrease was a $2 million increase in depreciation expense due to increased plants in service and a $6 million increase in the amortization of the regulatory asset related to securitization which was caused primarily by an increase in Securitization Transition Charge (STC) revenues. Taxes Other Than Income Taxes Taxes other than income taxes increased $6 million or 16% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. The increase is the result of higher TEFA due to higher taxable sales in 2003. Legislation enacted in January 2002 freezes the TEFA unit rate surcharges at the 2001 levels through 2004 and then reduces the rates over the next three years, phasing out the TEFA by 2007. 47
Other Income Other Income increased $10 million or 175% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to gains on the disposal of various electric transmission properties. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased by $6 million or 6% for the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the first quarter of 2002. Interest on long-term debt decreased $11 million due to the maturity of Medium-Term Notes in August and September 2002 and January 2003. These were offset by increased interest of $6 million due to Medium-Term Notes issued in September 2002 and January 2003. Income Taxes Income taxes increased $14 million or 33% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily to an increase in pre-tax income offset by increased benefits attributable to the excess depreciation reserve adjustment in 2003. Operating Revenues For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Power's Operating Revenues increased $1.3 billion or 228% as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to the inclusion of approximately $900 million of gas revenues relating to its BGSS contract and off-system gas sales resulting from the gas contracts transferred from PSE&G in May 2002. Also contributing to the increase was an approximate $300 million increase in electric revenues, due primarily to the BGS related contracts with third party wholesale electric suppliers which went into effect August 1, 2002. Also contributing to the increase in revenues was an approximate $125 million increase in electric energy sales in the New England Power Pool from Power's operation of two Connecticut generating facilities that were acquired in December 2002. Operating Expenses Energy Costs For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Power's energy costs increased $1.2 billion or 870% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to increased gas purchases of $847 million to satisfy Power's BGSS contract with PSE&G and increased electric energy purchases and third party wholesale electric supplier contracts of approximately $266 million. Also contributing to the increase were higher network transmission expenses of $72 million. These higher expenses were partially offset by a $28 million decrease in NUG purchases. Operations and Maintenance For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Operations and Maintenance expense increased $16 million or 9% as compared to the same period in 2002, due primarily to increases caused by higher accretion relating to the adoption of SFAS 143, higher pension related expenses, scheduled outage work at electric generating stations and the acquisition of the two Connecticut generating facilities in December 2002. Depreciation and Amortization For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Depreciation and Amortization expense remained flat as compared to the same period in 2002. Power did have higher depreciation expense of approximately $7 million for the period ended March 31, 2003 due primarily to a higher asset base. Depreciation expense was offset by the absence of decommissioning charges which are no longer recorded as a result of the 48Power
implementation of SFAS 143. For additional information, see Note Other Income For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Other Income increased by $47 million as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due to realized gains and the recognition of interest and dividend income in the NDT Fund. Other Deductions For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Other Deductions increased by $33 million as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due to the recognition of $33 million of realized losses in Power's NDT Fund. Interest Expense Interest Expense remained flat for Income Taxes Income Taxes increased $43 million or 54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to increases in pre-tax income. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle Power has performed a review of its potential obligations under SFAS 143 and believes that its quantifiable obligations are primarily related to the decommissioning of its nuclear power plants. Upon adoption of this standard on January 1, 2003, Power recorded a Cumulative Effect of a Change in Accounting Principle in the amount of $370 million. See Note 2. New Accounting Standards and Note 3. Adoption of SFAS 143 of the Notes for additional information. Operating Revenues Energy Holdings' revenues increased $73 million, or 54%, to $209 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $136 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This increase was driven by higher electric generation revenues at Global and the timing of an increased annual withdrawal payment from EPCP. In 2001, Global withdrew from its interest in EPCP in exchange for a series of payments through 2005, provided certain operating contingencies are met. Global For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, the operating revenues increased by $79 million or 101% to $157 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $78 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This increase at Global was partly due to an increase of $37 million of realized revenue from the withdrawal from EPCP which was recorded in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the second quarter of 2002. The increase in revenue was also due to a $26 million increase from Skawina, a generation facility in Poland, in which Global purchased a majority ownership in the second quarter of 2002 494.

the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable period in 2002. Although Power incurred additional interest charges of $10 million for the period ended March 31, 2003 due primarily to the new financing of $600 million in June 2002, this increase was offset by capitalized interest relating to various construction projects of $8 million and $2 million of reductions associated with interest rate swap agreements.Energy Holdings
weand a $22 million increase from Rades, a generation facility in Tunisia which commenced operations in the second quarter of 2002. Also contributing is a $9 million increase at GWF Energy. In the second half of 2002, Global's ownership of GWF Energy increased to 76%. Accordingly, Global
consolidates GWF Energy as compared to the first quarter 2002 when it was recorded under the equity method. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $15 million from Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad de Entre Rios S.A. (EDEERSA), in Argentina, which was fully written off in 2002 and was abandoned in the first quarter of 2003. Resources Resources' operating revenues decreased $7 million or 12% to $51 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, from $58 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to an increase of $5 million from net investment losses, of which $10 million resulted from other than temporary impairments of non-publicly traded equity securities within certain leveraged buyout funds and other investments. Also contributing was a $2 million decrease in income from capital leases due to terminated leases. Operating Expenses Operating Expenses increased $27 million or 42% to $92 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $65 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to a $16 million increase related to the acquisition of Skawina, Poland which became majority owned in the second quarter 2002 and a $15 million increase related to Rades, Tunisia which commenced operation in the second quarter 2002. Income from Equity Method Investments Income from Equity Method Investments decreased $13 million or 43% to $17 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $30 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was due primarily to lower earnings in 2002 of $8 million at RGE mainly driven by regulatory changes that allowed RGE to recover from customers prior tariff charges previously expensed, as well as higher energy purchases, higher inflation rates and higher effective tax rates in the current year. Also contributing to the decrease was $3 million in interest income related to a note receivable from AES in 2002. Other Income Other Income decreased $7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002 due to a decrease of $10 million of net derivative gains partially offset by an increase of $3 million of foreign currency transaction gains. Other Deductions Other Deductions decreased $46 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily to a decrease of $52 million in foreign currency transaction losses, primarily in Argentina in 2002, partially offset by an increase of $6 million in net derivative losses primarily related to the Rades Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) indexation. Interest Expense Interest Expense decreased $4 million or 7% to $50 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from $54 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily to the retirement of $228 million of Medium-Term Notes at PSEG Capital Corporation (PSEG Capital) in 2002, which resulted in a decrease of $2 million in interest expense. Also contributing to the decrease was the repurchase of Senior Notes in 2002 and reductions in borrowings under the revolving credit facilities. Income Taxes Income Taxes expense increased $17 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002 due primarily to higher pre-tax income. 50
Losses From Discontinued Operations Operating results of Energy Technologies' HVAC/mechanical operating companies, less certain allocated costs from Energy Holdings, have been reclassified into Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The results of operations of these discontinued operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 yielded additional after-tax losses of $6 million and $4 million, respectively. For additional information, see Note 4. Discontinued Operations of the Notes. Due to current market conditions, Energy Holdings re-evaluated the carrying value of Energy Technologies and has determined that an additional write-down to fair value less cost to sell was required. In the first quarter of 2003, Energy Holdings recorded an additional after-tax loss on disposal of Energy Technologies of $9 million. In addition, Tanir Bavi, a 220 MW barge mounted, combined-cycle generating facility in India which was sold in the fourth quarter of 2002, met the criteria for classification as a component of discontinued operations. The operating results of Tanir Bavi for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 yielded after-tax income of $3 million. Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle In 2002, Energy Holding finalized The following discussion of PSEG PSEG's operating cash flow PSE&G PSE&G's operating cash flow decreased approximately $154 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to increased working capital needs, mostly due to seasonally higher accounts receivable balances as a result of increased billings in the colder than normal first quarter. This was partially offset by increased income from Power Power's operating cash flow increased approximately $455 million 51ourthe evaluation of the effect of adopting SFAS 142 on the recorded amount of goodwill. Under this standard, we
were required to complete an impairment analysis of our recorded goodwill and
record any resulting impairment. The total amount of goodwill impairments was $120 million, net of tax of $66 million and was comprised of write downs of $36 million (after-tax) at EDEERSA, $34 million (after-tax) at Rio Grande Energia (RGE),RGE, $32 million (after-tax) at Energy Technologies and $18 million (after-tax) at Tanir Bavi. All of the goodwill onrelated to these companies, other than RGE, was fully impaired. In accordance with SFAS 142, this impairment charge was recorded as of
January 1, 2002 as a component of the Cumulative Effect of a Change in
Accounting Principle and is reflected in Consolidated Statement of Operations
for the nine months ended September 30, 2002.

Operations in Argentina
We, through our Energy Holdings subsidiary, have significant operations in
Argentina. Over the past year, the business and economic conditions in that
region have deteriorated. As of December 31, 2001, Energy Holdings' aggregate
investment exposure in Argentina was $632 million. These investments included a
90% owned distribution company, Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad de Entre
Rios S.A. (EDEERSA); minority interests in three distribution companies, Empresa
Distribuidora de Energia Norte S.A. (EDEN), Empresa Distribuidora de Energia Sur
S.A. (EDES), and Empresa Distribuidora La Plata S.A. (EDELAP); and two
generating companies, Central Termica San Nicolas (CTSN), and Parana which are
under contract for sale to certain subsidiaries of The AES Corporation (AES).
Net operating losses relating to these investments of $59 million have been
incurred year-to-date and are mainly attributable to the falling value of the
Argentine peso. Additionally, certain loss contingencies have been accrued of
$11 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. In June 2002,
Energy Holdings determined that the carrying value of its Argentine investments
was impaired. Energy Holdings recorded charges in connection with the impairment
of $506 million ($329 million after-tax) during the second quarter of 2002. No
such impairment charges were incurred during the third quarter ended September
30, 2002. For the three and nine periods ended September 30, 2001, operating
expenses of $6 million and $11 million were incurred, respectively. See Note 3.

with guidelines adopted by our Board of Directors.
External funding to meet our needs and the needs of PSE&G, the majority of thesupply its requirements of Power and a substantial portion of the requirements of Energy

the direct obligation of those respective entities. Some of the proceeds of
these debt transactions are used by the respective obligor to make equity
investments in its subsidiaries.
As discussed below, depending on the particular company, external financing may
consist of public and private capital market debt and equity transactions, bank
revolving credit and term loans, commercial paper and/or project financings.
Some of these transactions involve special purpose entities (SPEs), formed in
accordance with applicable tax and legal requirements in order to achieve
specified beneficial financial advantages, such as favorable tax and legal
liability treatment. Substantially all SPEs are consolidated, where we have
controlling interest.

Global has certain investments that are accounted for under the equity method in
accordanceBGSS contract with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, an amount
is recorded on our balance sheet that is primarily Global's equity investmentPSE&G, and is increased for Global's pro-rata share of earnings less any dividend

are accounted for under the equity method have an aggregate $1.89 billion of
debt on their combined, consolidated financial statements. Global's pro-rata
share of such debt is $697 million and is non-recourse to continuing operations.

In that event, loan funds may not be advanced. As explained in detail below, some of these credit agreements also contain maximum PSEG Financial covenants contained in PSE&G Financial covenants contained in PSE&G's credit facilities include a ratio of Long-Term Debt (excluding Long-Term Debt Maturing within 1 Year) to Total Capitalization covenant. This covenant requires that at the end of any quarterly financial period, such ratio will not be more than 0.65 to 1. As of PSEG/Power Financial covenants contained in Energy Holdings Financial covenants contained in Energy Holdings' credit facilities include the ratio of cash flow available for debt service (CFADS) to fixed charges. CFADS includes, but is not limited to, operating cash flows before interest and taxes, pre-tax cash distributions from all asset liquidations and equity capital contributions from PSEG to the extent not used to fund investing activity. At the end of any quarterly financial period such ratio shall not be less than 1.50x for the 12-month period then ending.

The availability and cost of external capital could be affected by each
subsidiary's performancequarter ended March 31, 2003 as well as by the performance of their respective
subsidiaries and affiliates. This could include the degree of structural
separation between us and our subsidiaries and the potential impact of affiliate
ratings on consolidated and unconsolidated credit quality. Additionally,
compliance with applicable financial covenants will depend upon future financial
position and levels of earnings and net cash flows, as to which no assurances
can be given.
Financing for Global's projects and investments is generally provided by
non-recourse project financing transactions. These consist of loans from banks
and other lenders that are typically secured by project and SPE assets and/or
cash flows. Two of Power's projects currently under construction have similar
financing. Non-recourse transactions generally impose no material obligation on
the parent-level investor to repay any debt incurred by the project borrower.
However, in some cases, certain obligations relatingcompared to the investment being
financed, including additional equity commitments, are guaranteedquarter ended March 31, 2002, due primarily to higher income from continuing operations, partially offset by Global,
Energy Holdings, and/or Power for their respective subsidiaries. The
consequences of permitting a project-level default include loss of any invested
equity by the parent. PSEG has not currently provided any guarantees or credit
support to PSE&G, Power or Energy Holdings, except for the minimum net worth
maintenance support agreement to PSEG Capital Corporation, a subsidiary of
Energy Holdings, which we plan to eliminate upon maturity of PSEG Capital
Corporation's debt in May 2003.
Over the next several years, PSEGlower rents received on leverage leases and its subsidiaries will be required to
refinance maturing debt and expect to incur additional debt and provide equity
to fund investment activity. Any inability to obtain required additional
external capital or to extend or replace maturing debt and/or existing
agreements at current levels and reasonable interest rates may adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations and net cash flows.
During the third quarter of 2002, Energy Holdings purchased approximately $19
million of Senior Notes at prices below par value. In October 2002, Energy
Holdings purchased an additional $20 million of Senior Notes at prices below par

Cross Default Provisions, Material Adverse Clause Changes, and
Ratings Triggers
The PSEG credit agreements contain default provisions under which a default by
it or its major subsidiaries (PSE&G, Power, Energy Holdings) in an aggregate
amount of $50 million would result in a default and the potential acceleration
of payment under the agreements.
The Energy Holdings credit agreements contain default provision under which a
default by it or its major subsidiaries (Resources, Global) in an aggregate
amount of $5 million, or a default by PSEG in an aggregate amount of $75 million
would result in an event of default and the potential acceleration of payment
under the agreements. The Energy Holdings Senior Note Indenture contains
cross-default provisions under which a default by it or its major subsidiaries
(Resources, Global) in an aggregate amount of $25 million would result in a
default and the potential acceleration of payment under the indenture.
The Power Senior Debt Indenture contains a default provision under which a
default by it or its subsidiaries (Nuclear, Fossil, ER&T) in an aggregate amount
of $50 million would result in a default and the potential acceleration of
payment under the indenture. There are no cross-defaults within Power's
indenture from PSEG, Energy Holdings or PSE&G.
The PSE&G First and Refunding Mortgage (Mortgage) and credit agreements have no

defaults. The PSE&G Medium Term Note Indenture has a cross-default to the PSE&G
Mortgage. The credit agreements have cross-defaults under which a default by
PSE&G in the aggregate of $50 million would result in a default and the
potential acceleration of payment under the credit agreements.
A failure to make principal and/or interest payments, when due, would be a
default under the respective credit agreements and indentures of Holdings. Any inability to satisfy required covenants and/or
borrowing conditions would have a similar impact. If a default were to occur,
the respective lenders and debt holders, after giving effect to any applicable
grace and/or cure periods, could determine that debt payment obligations may be
accelerated. In the event of any likely default or failure to satisfy covenants
or conditions, we, or the relevant subsidiary, would seek to renegotiate terms
of the agreements with the lenders. No assurances can be given as to whether
these efforts would be successful. A declaration of cross-default could severely
limit PSEG's and the applicable subsidiaries' liquidity and restrict the ability
to meet respective debt, capital and, in extreme cases, operational cash
requirements which could have a material adverse effect on our financial

subsidiaries.Holdingsdebt to equitydebt-to-equity ratios, minimum cash flow tests and other restrictive covenants and conditions to borrowing. Compliance with applicable financial covenants will depend upon ourPSEG's future financial position and the level of earnings and cash flow, as to which no assurances can be given. The debt indentures and credit agreements do not contain any material "ratings

principal payments in the event of a ratings downgrade. However, in the event of
a downgrade, we and/or our subsidiaries may be subject to increased interest
costs on certain bank debt. Also, in connection with its energy trading
business,PSEG, PSE&G, Power must meet certain credit quality standards as are required by
counterparties. If Power loses its investment grade credit rating, ER&T would
have to provide credit support (letters of credit or cash), which would
significantly impact the cost of the energy trading business. These same
contracts provide reciprocal benefits to Power. Providing this credit support
would increase our costs of doing business and limit our ability to successfully
conduct our energy trading operations. In addition, our counterparties may
require us to meet margin or other security requirements that may include cash
payments. Global and Energy Holdings may have to provide collateralare in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2003. The ratios presented below are for certain
of their equity commitments if Energy Holdings' ratings should fall below
investment grade. Similarly, Power may also have to provide credit support for
certain of its equity commitments if Power loses its investment grade rating.

at Global and $329 million, $37 million and $253 million outstanding under
credit facilities and through the uncommitted bilateral agreements at PSEG,

PSE&G, $128 million at Transition Funding and $314 million at Energy Holdings
including $32 million of non-recourse debt.

PSEG
In 2002, we began issuing new shares under our Dividend Reinvestment and
Employee Stock Purchase Plan (DRASPP), rather than purchasing them on the open
market. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 we issued approximately 1.5
million shares for approximately $57 million.
Dividend payments on Common Stock for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2002 were $0.54 and $1.62 per share and totaled approximately $111
million and $334 million, respectively. Our dividend rate has remained constant
since 1992 in order to retain additional capital for reinvestment and to reduce
the payout ratio as earnings grow. Although we presently believe we will have
adequate earnings and cash flow in the future from our subsidiaries to maintain
common stock dividends at the current level, earnings and cash flows required to
support the dividend will become more uncertain as our business continues to
change from one that was principally regulated to one that is principally
competitive. Future dividends declared will necessarily be dependent upon our
future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements, alternate investment
opportunities and other factors.ourPSEG's credit facilities include a ratio of debt (excluding non-recourse project financings and securitization debt and including commercial paper and loans, certain letters of credit and similar instruments) to total capitalization covenant. This covenant requires that at the end of any quarterly financial period, such ratio not be more than 0.70 to 1. As of September 30, 2002, ourMarch 31, 2003, PSEG's ratio of debt to capitalization (as defined above) was 0.650.59 to 1.
Recent downturns in the stock markets could affect the value of our pension
plans that may result in a charge to our stockholders' equity at year-end. If
required, this would result in an increase to our debt to capitalization ratio.
See Accounting Matters for further information.
As part of our financial planning forecast, we perform stress tests on our
financial covenants that include a consideration of the impacts of potential
asset impairments, foreign currency fluctuations, adjustments relating to our
pension plans and other items. Our current forecasts do not indicate that we
will exceed the required ratio of debt to total capitalization, however, no
assurances can be given and, if an event of default were to occur, it could
materially impact our results of operations, cash flow and financial position.
On May 21, 2002, $275 million of Floating Rate Notes matured.
In September 2002, we issued 9.2 million Participating Units with a stated
amount of $50 per unit. Each unit consists of a 6.25% trust preferred security
due 2007 having a liquidation value of $50, and a stock purchase contract
obligating the purchasers to purchase shares of our common stock in an amount
equal to $50 on November 16, 2005. In exchange for the obligations under the
purchase contract, the purchasers will receive quarterly contract adjustment
payments at the annual rate of 4.00% until such date. The number of new shares
issued will depend upon the average closing price per share of our common stock
for the 20 consecutive trading days ending the third trading day immediately
preceding November 16, 2005. Based on the formula described in the purchase
contract, at that time we will issue between 11,429,139 and 13,714,967 shares of
its common stock. The net proceeds from the sale of the Participating Units was
$446.2 million.
In October 2002, we closed on a $245 million private placement debt transaction
with a five-year average life, with the proceeds being used to reduce short-term
debt.
In the third quarter of 2002, we contributed $100 million of equity to Energy
Holdings and we expect to contribute an additional $100 million in the fourth
quarter of 2002.

Under its Mortgage, PSE&G may issue new First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds
against previous additions and improvements, provided that its ratio of earnings
to fixed charges calculated in accordance with its Mortgage is at least 2:1,
and/or against retired Mortgage Bonds. At September 30, 2002, PSE&G's Mortgage
coverage ratio was 3:1. As of September 30, 2002, the Mortgage would permit up
to approximately $1 billion aggregate principal amount of new Mortgage Bonds to
be issued against previous additions and improvements. PSE&G is required to
obtain BPU authorization to issue any financing necessary for its capital
program, including refunding of maturing debt and opportunistic refinancing.
PSE&G has authorization from the BPU to issue up to an aggregate of $1 billion
of long-term debt through December 31, 2003 for the refunding of maturing debt
and opportunistic refinancing of debt. We currently have authorization from the
BPU to issue up to $2 billion in short-term debt through December 31, 2002. In
October 2002, we filed a petition with the BPU requesting authority to issue up
to $750 million of short-term debt through January 4, 2005. In addition, PSE&G
expects to securitize approximately $250 million of deferred BGS costs, the
proceeds of which will be used to reduce short-term debt.September
30, 2002, ourMarch 31, 2003, PSE&G's ratio of Long-Term Debt to Total Capitalization was 0.5080.52 to 1.
In August 2002, $257 million of 6.125% Series RR Mortgage Bonds matured.
In September 2002, PSE&G issued $300 million of 5.125% Medium-Term Notes due
2012, the proceeds of which were used to repay $290 million of 7.19% Medium-Term
Notes that matured.
During 2002, PSE&G Transition Funding LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSE&G,
has repaid $85 million of securitization bonds.
Since 1986, PSE&G has made regular cash payments to us in the form of dividends
on outstanding shares of its common stock. PSE&G paid common stock dividends of
$150 million and $112 million to us for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
Power's short-term financing needs will be met using PSEG's commercial paper
program or lines of credit discussed above.
In June 2002, Power issued $600 million of 6.95% Senior Unsecured Notes due
2012. The proceeds were used to repay short-term funding from us, including
amounts related to the Gas Contract Transfer from PSE&G in May 2002.
Energy Holdings
As of September 30, 2002, Energy Holdings had two separate revolving credit
facilities with a syndicate of banks as discussed in the table above. The
five-year facility permits up to $250 million of letters of credit to be issued
of which $12 million were outstanding as of September 30, 2002.thesethe PSEG/Power joint and several credit facility include a ratio of debt to total capitalization covenant for each specific borrower. When PSEG is the borrower, the covenant described above in PSEG is applicable. When Power is the borrower a debt (excluding non-recourse project financings and including loans, certain letters of credit and similar instruments) to total capitalization, adjusted for the $986 million Basis Adjustment (see Power's Consolidated Balance Sheets), covenant applies. This covenant requires that at the end of any quarterly financial period, such ratio will not be more than 0.65 to 1. As of March 31, 2003, Power's ratio of debt to capitalization (as defined above) was 0.46 to 1.
letter of credit issuance. As of March 31, 2003, Energy Holdings ratio of CFADS On April 16, 2003, Energy Holdings issued $350 million of Senior Notes which contain financial covenants that include debt incurrence tests consisting of a debt service coverage test and a ratio of consolidated recourse indebtedness to recourse capitalization test. These tests require that Energy Holdings will not incur additional consolidated recourse indebtedness, other than certain permitted indebtedness, such as permitted refinancings, unless, on a pro forma basis giving effect to the incurrence of the additional consolidated recourse indebtedness, (i) the debt service coverage ratio would be at least 2 to 1 and (ii) the ratio of consolidated recourse indebtedness to recourse capitalization would not exceed 0.60 to 1. These covenants also restrict Energy Holdings from selling greater than 10% of its assets in any four consecutive quarters, unless the proceeds are used to reduce debt of Energy Holdings or its subsidiaries or are reinvested or retained by Energy Holdings. Certain information reported in the December 31, 2002 Form 10-K is updated below. PSEG The PSEG credit agreements and certain of its financing agreements contain several default provisions one of which is a payment cross default whereby a default by it, PSE&G, Power or Energy Holdings in an aggregate amount of $50 million would result in a default and the potential acceleration of payment under those credit and financing agreements. All of the PSEG credit agreements contain provisions that will eliminate this cross-default to Energy Holdings, once Energy Holdings $495 million Credit Agreement expires in May 2004, or is renewed prior to that time. PSEG expects to negotiate similar provisions in PSEG's financing agreements, as applicable. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings The debt indentures and credit agreements of PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings do not contain any material ''ratings triggers'' that would cause an acceleration of the required interest and principal payments in the event of a ratings downgrade. However, in the event of a downgrade, any one or more of the affected companies may be subject to increased interest costs on certain bank debt and collateral requirements. Power In connection with its energy marketing and trading activities, Power must meet certain credit quality standards required by counterparties. If Power loses its investment grade credit rating, ER&T would have to provide credit support (letters of credit or cash), which would significantly impact the cost of the energy trading activities. Power's Master Agreements and other supply contracts contain margin and/or other collateral requirements that, as of March 31, 2003, could require Power to post additional collateral of approximately $652 million if Power were to lose its investment grade credit rating and all counterparties were entitled to and called for collateral. These same contracts provide reciprocal benefits to Power. Providing this credit support would increase Power's costs of doing business and could limit Power's ability to successfully conduct its energy trading operations. 53includes, but is not limited to operating cash before

Energy Holdings Energy Holdings and Global may have to provide collateral of approximately $85 million for certain of their equity commitments if Energy Holdings' ratings should fall below investment grade. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings As of March 31, 2003, PSEG had a total of approximately $2.4 billion of committed credit facilities, with approximately $544 million drawn against such facilities, including $7 million and $75 million in letters of credit at Power and Energy Holdings, respectively, resulting in $1.8 billion in available liquidity. In addition to this amount, PSEG had access to certain uncommitted credit facilities under which $82 million was outstanding as of March 31, 2003. The following table summarizes the various revolving credit facilities of PSEG and its subsidiaries and the liquidity available as of March 31, 2003. In addition, PSEG had approximately $76 million of cash available as of March 31, 2003 to retire commercial paper. In order to support its short-term financing requirements as well as those of Power, PSEG has revolving credit facilities that are used both as a source of short-term funding and to provide backup liquidity for its $1 billion commercial paper program. On March 19, 2003, PSEG closed on two 364-day credit facilities; a $350 million facility for PSEG and a joint and several PSEG/Power $250 million facility. These facilities replace two existing 364-day facilities at PSEG. The new PSEG facility provides liquidity support for the PSEG commercial paper program. The joint and several PSEG/Power facility also provides liquidity support for the PSEG commercial paper program and can be used by either PSEG or Power as a source of short-term funding and to issue letters of credit. Under this facility, either PSEG or Power may borrow, and both are jointly and severally liable to repay the loans. 54Short-Term Liquidity

PSE&G PSE&G maintains credit facilities to provide backup for its $400 million commercial paper program. In June 2003, a $200 million, 364-day facility is expiring. PSE&G intends to renew this facility in a similar amount during June 2003. Power Power has access to the $250 million, 364-day joint and several PSEG/Power credit facility and a separate $25 million credit facility, but primarily relies on PSEG for its short-term financing needs. For information regarding affiliate borrowings, see Note 12. Related-Party Transactions of the Notes. As of March 31, 2003, letters of credit issued by Power were outstanding in the amount of approximately $74 million, including the $7 million drawn against its credit facilities, in support of various contractual obligations, environmental liabilities, and to satisfy trading collateral obligations. Energy Holdings Energy Holdings has credit facilities totaling $695 million that are used both as a source of short-term funding and to issue letters of credit. In May 2003, a $200 million facility is expiring and it is not anticipated that this facility will be renewed as that level of short-term funding is not necessary for Energy Holdings' financing needs. As of March 31, 2003, in addition to amounts outstanding under Energy Holdings' credit facilities shown in the above table, subsidiaries of Global had $96 million of non-recourse short-term financing. For information regarding affiliate borrowings, see Note 12. Related-Party Transactions of the Notes. PSEG In 2002, PSEG began issuing shares of its common stock under its Dividend Reinvestment Program and Employee Stock Purchase Plan, rather than purchasing them on the open market. For the quarter ended March 31, 2003, PSEG issued approximately 570,000 shares for approximately $21 million pursuant to these plans. Dividend payments on common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were $0.54 per share and totaled approximately $122 million. Future dividends declared will be dependent upon PSEG's future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements, alternate investment opportunities and other factors. PSEG would consider increasing the dividend if the payout ratio approached 50% and could be sustained at that level. PSE&G In January 2003, PSE&G issued $150 million of 5.00% Medium-Term Notes due 2013. The proceeds of approximately $149 million were used to repay $150 million of 6.875% Series MM Mortgage Bonds which matured in January 2003. Also in January 2003, PSEG contributed $170 million to PSE&G to offset a 2002 minimum pension liability charge to Other Comprehensive Income (OCI). During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, Transition Funding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSE&G, repaid $30 million of securitization bonds as scheduled. Energy Holdings During January and February of 2003, Sociedad Austral de Electricidad S.A. (SAESA) and Empresa Electrica de la Frontera S.A. (Frontel) refinanced certain non-recourse short-term obligations through a combination of bonds, a syndicated bank facility and equity from Global. SAESA issued two series of bonds equivalent to $117 million with final maturity in 2009 and 2023. Frontel executed a 55External Financings
syndicated loan facility equivalent to $23 million with final maturity in 2010. In addition, during January 2003, Global made equity contributions to SAESA and Frontel totaling $55 million. In March 2003, Electroandes refinanced a $100 million bridge loan with a $70 million seven-year amortizing facility and two $15 million one-year facilities. In April 2003, Energy Holdings, in a private placement, issued $350 million of 7.75% Senior Notes, due in 2007. Proceeds of $344 million will be used for general corporate purposes including repayment of $252 million of 6.25% Medium-Term Notes at PSEG Capital that mature in May 2003. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings Credit risk relates to the risk of loss that PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings would incur as a result of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings have established credit policies that they believe significantly mitigate credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential counterparties' financial condition (including credit rating), collateral requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements, which may allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated with a single counterparty. Power Counterparties expose Power to credit losses in the event of non-performance or non-payment. Power has a Energy Holdings Project cash flows at During the 56Credit Risk

Consequently, the loan due to Global is in default and the interest rate has increased to the default rate of 14%. If the default continues, Global has the right to foreclose on Panda/Teco's 50% interest in TIE, which has been pledged to secure the loans due to Global. As of May 1, 2003, Global has not received the March 31, 2003 loan repayment, including interest. Therefore, under the terms of the partnership agreement Global has gained significant control over TIE and it is expected that Global will consolidate TIE beginning in the second quarter of 2003. In July 2002, anFor additional $100 million of PSEG Capital MTNs with an average
borrowing rate of 6.95% matured. These MTNs were refunded with proceeds from

information relating to this loan, see Note 12. Related-Party Transactions.Capital Requirements
We have substantially reduced our capital expenditure forecast in response to
tightening market conditions resulting from market and lender concerns regardingPSE&G
overall economy and our industry in particular, including an investor and
rating agency focus on leverage ratios. These conditions have made it more
difficult for us to access capital, impacting our business plans and
opportunities to enter into profitable investments.
Power's capital needs will be dictated by its strategy to continue to develop as
a profitable, growth-oriented supplier in the wholesale power market. Power has
revised its schedule for completion of several projects under development to
provide better sequencing of its construction program with anticipated market
demand. This will allow Power to conserve capital inquarter ended March 31, 2003, and allow Power to
take advantage of the expected recovery of the electric markets and their need
for capacity in 2005. Power's subsidiaries have substantial commitments as part
of their growth strategies and ongoing construction programs. Power will
continue to evaluate its development and construction requirements in relation
to the energy and financial markets.
We expect that the majority of each subsidiaries' capital requirements over the
next five years will come from internally generated funds, with the balance to
be provided by the issuance of debt at the subsidiary or project level and
equity contributions from us. Projected construction and investment
expenditures, excluding nuclear fuel purchases for Power, for our subsidiaries
for the next five years are as follows:

expected to PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings At the January 2003 EITF meeting, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) was requested to reconsider an interpretation of SFAS 133. The interpretation, which is contained in the Derivatives Implementation Group's C-11 guidance, relates to contracts that include broad market indices (e.g., CPI). That interpretation sets forth the guidelines under which the contract could qualify as a normal purchase or sale under SFAS 133. PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings reevaluated their respective contracts and determined that there were no contracts impacted by this interpretation and accordingly there was no effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements. The FASB has agreed to reconsider the guidance under C-11.

This model includes fixed price sales commitments, owned generation, load requirements, physical contracts and financial derivative instruments. VaR represents the potential gains or losses, under normal market conditions, for instruments or portfolios due to changes in market factors, for a specified time period and confidence level. Power and Energy Holdings estimate VaR across their respective commodity businesses. VaR Model Power manages its exposure at the portfolio level. Its portfolio consists of owned generation, load-serving contracts (both gas and electric), gas supply contracts and energy derivatives designed to manage the risk around the differential between generation and load. The RMC of PSEG established a VaR threshold of $50 million for a one-week (5 business days) holding period at a 95% (two-tailed) confidence level. The RMC will be notified if the VaR reaches $40 million and the portfolio will be closely monitored.

Except as discussed below, there were no material changes from the disclosures in PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings' Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.Commodity Contracts
Power and Energy Holdings
measured VAR usingavailability and price of energy commodities are subject to fluctuations from factors such as weather, environmental policies, changes in supply and demand, state and federal regulatory policies and other events. To reduce price risk caused by market fluctuations, Power and Energy Holdings enter into supply contracts and derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps and options with approved counterparties, to hedge their respective anticipated supply and demand differential. These contracts, in conjunction with owned electric generation capacity and demand obligations, make up the portfolio.Power
The current modeling process and methodology has previously been reviewed by a third party consulting firm. This review included analysis and comparison of Power's current VaR process and methodology to other processes and methodologies used in the energy industry. PSEG believes the evaluation indicates that Power's methodology to calculate VaR is reasonable. The model is an augmented variance/ As of March 31, 2003, VaR was approximately Power's VaR Associated with Generating Assets and Commodity Contracts VaR Model In general, Energy Holdings manages its commodity exposure through power purchase agreements. One notable exception is its partial ownership of TIE, which owns two merchant energy plants that sell substantially all of their output in the day-ahead market. The model is a variance/covariance model with a two-tailed 95% confidence level for a one-week holding period. Expected energy output and fuel usage are modeled as forward obligations. As of March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, Energy Holdings' VaR was approximately $17 million and $4 million, respectively. 61co-variancecovariance model adjusted for the delta of positions with a 95% two-tailed confidence level and assumingfor a one-week time horizon asholding period. The model is augmented to incorporate the non log-normality of September 30, 2002energy-related commodity prices, especially emissions and capacity and the non-stationary nature of energy volatility. In many commodities the natural log of prices is normally distributed. This is not true of energy commodities which have a higher frequency of extreme events than would be predicted by a normal distribution. The model also assumes no hedging activity throughout the holding period whereas Power actively manages its portfolio.$19$29 million, compared to the December 31, 20012002, level of $18$7 million. Credit Risk
Credit risk relatesPrevious to Power's obligation being determined by annual auctions, Power's load was considered an indefinite obligation; therefore, for consistency purposes Power decided to model both the riskcost to serve its load obligation and the value of loss that we would incur asits generation assets on a resultrolling 12-month basis. At present, Power's load obligation is determined by the results of non-performance by counterparties pursuant to the termsannual BGS auction. To maintain an actionable VaR, generation and load (based on an assumed success rate in the auction) are both modeled at 100% of their contractualassumed value through May 2004 and at one-third of the assumed value of each from June 2004 through May 2006.

PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings
credit policies that we believe significantly
minimize credit risk. These policies include an evaluation of potential
counterparties' financial condition (including credit rating), collateral
requirements under certain circumstances and the use of standardized agreements,
which may allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures associated
with a single counterparty.
Power
Counterparties expose us to credit losses in the event of non-performance or
non-payment. We have a credit management process which is used to assess,
monitor and mitigate counterparty exposure for us and our subsidiaries. In the
event of non-performance or non-payment by a major counterparty, there may be a
material adverse impact on our and our subsidiaries' financial condition,
results of operations or net cash flows. As of September 30, 2002 over 97% of
the credit exposure (mark to market plus net receivables and payables) for
Power's trading operations was with investment grade counterparties. As of
September 30, 2002, Power's trading operations had over 145 active
counterparties.
As a result of the New Jersey BGS auction, Power has contracted to provide
energy to the direct suppliers of New Jersey electric utilities, including
PSE&G, commencing August 1, 2002. Subsequently, a portion of the contracts with
those bidders was reassigned to Power. Therefore, for a limited portion of the
New Jersey retail load, Power will be a direct supplier to one utility, although
this utility is not PSE&G. These bilateral contracts are subject to credit risk.
This risk is substantially higher than the risk that was associated with
potential nonpayment by PSE&G under the BGS contract which expired on July 31,
2002, since PSE&G is a rate-regulated entity. This credit risk relates to the
ability of counterparties to meet their payment obligations for the power
delivered under each BGS contract. Power sells electricity to approximately nine
supplier-counterparties that serve the load of the utilities, and one utility
directly. Four of these supplier-counterparties pay Power directly, and one of
the four prepays its purchases. The revenue from the remaining five
counterparties is paid directly from the utilities that those suppliers serve,
and the related margin due to the counterparties is recorded as a liability and
will be remitted to those counterparties separately. Any failure to collect
these payments under the new BGS contracts could have a material impact on
Power's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
Energy Holdings
Resources also has credit risk related to its investments in leveraged leases,
totaling $1.6 billion, which is net of deferred taxes of $1.4 billion, as of
September 30, 2002. These investments are significantly concentrated in the
54
energy related industry and have some exposure to the airline industry.
Resources is the lessor of domestic generating facilities in several US energy
markets. As a result of recent actions of the rating agencies due to concerns
over forward energy prices, the credit of some of the transaction lessees, or
ultimate guarantors of the lease obligations, was downgraded. As of September
30, 2002, 75% of the lease portfolio were with counterparties that were
investment grade as rated by both S&P and Moody's, as compared to 86% at June
30, 2002. Specifically, the lessees in the following transactions were
downgraded over the quarter by the rating agencies. Resources' investment in
such transactions was approximately $451 million, net of deferred taxes of $266
million as of September 30, 2002.
Resources leases 1,173 MW of coal-fired generation to Reliant Energy Mid
Atlantic Power Holdings LLC (REMA), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Reliant Resources Incorporated (RRI). The leased assets are the Keystone,
Conemaugh and Shawville generating facilities located in the Pennsylvania New
Jersey Maryland Power Pool (PJM) West market in Pennsylvania. In addition to the
leased assets, REMA also owns and operates another 2,830 MW located within PJM.
REMA is capitalized with over $1 billion of equity from RRI and has no debt
obligations senior to the lease obligations. REMA is currently rated BB+ by S&P,
and Baa3 by Moody's. As the lessor/equity participant in the lease, Resources is
protected with significant lease covenants that restrict the flow of dividends
from REMA to its parent, and by over-collateralization of REMA with an
additional 2,830 MWs of non-leased assets, transfer of which is restricted by
the financing documents. Restrictive covenants include historical and forward
cash flow coverage tests that prohibit discretionary capital expenditures and
dividend payments to the parent/lessee if stated minimum coverages are not met,
and similar cash flow restrictions if ratings are not maintained at stated
levels. The covenants are designed to maintain cash reserves in the transaction
entity for the benefit of the non-recourse lenders and the lessor/equity
participants in the event of a market downturn, or degradation in operating
performance of the leased assets. Resources' investment in the REMA transaction
was $125 million, net of deferred taxes of $88 million at September 30, 2002.
Resources is the lessor of the Collins facility to Midwest Generation LLC
(Midwest), an indirect subsidiary of Edison Mission Energy (EME). Collins is
comprised of 2,698 MWs of oil and natural gas fired assets located in the MAIN
power market located in the mid-western region of the United States. Midwest has
a contract with Exelon to supply capacity and energy for 1,078 MWs for Collins
through December 2003 with an option to extend. Both Midwest and EME are rated
BBB- by S&P and Ba3 by Moody's. In addition to the leased assets, Midwest owns
and operates an additional 4,459 MWs of generation assets. The restrictive
covenants protecting us are similar to those noted above in the REMA
transaction. Resources' investment in the Collins facility was $108 million, net
of deferred taxes of $69 million at September 30, 2002.
Resources also leases the Powerton and Joliet generating stations located in the
Mid-American Interconnected Network (MAIN) market to Midwest. Both Powerton and
Joliet are coal fired stations comprising 2,896 MWs of generating capacity. The
lease obligations are guaranteed by EME. The guarantee contains certain
restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, additional investment,
liens, and sales of non-leased collateral. In addition, EME is required to
maintain a minimum net worth equal to $400 million plus cumulative, consolidated
net income earned by it and its subsidiaries since 1992 (without subtracting
losses). Resources' investment in the Powerton and Joliet transaction was $87
million, net of deferred taxes of $74 million at September 30, 2002.
Resources is the lessor of the 370 MW coal fired Danskammer plant to Dynegy
Danskammer LLC (Danskammer), and the 1,200 MW natural gas/oil fired Roseton
plant to Dynegy Roseton LLC (Roseton). Both Danskammer and Roseton are indirect
subsidiaries of Dynegy Holdings Inc (DHI). The lease obligations are guaranteed
by DHI which is currently rated B+ by S&P and B3 by Moody's. Resources'
investment in the Danskammer and Roseton transaction was $131 million, net of
deferred taxes of $34 million as of September 30, 2002.
In the domestic lease transactions described above, Resources has protected its
equity investment by providing for the right to assume the debt obligation at
its discretion in the event of default by the lessee with the condition that the
debt is investment grade. If we were pursuing a debt assumption, we would first
seek to renegotiate all relevant terms of the agreement with the lenders. Debt
assumption normally only would occur if an appraisal of the leased property
yielded a value that
55
exceeds the present value of the debt outstanding. Should Resources ever
directly assume a debt obligation, the fair value of the underlying asset and
the associated debt would be recorded on the balance sheet instead of the net
equity investment in the lease. As of September 30, 2002, Resources determined
that the collectibility of the minimum lease payments under its leveraged lease
investments is still reasonably predictable and therefore continues to account
for these investments as leveraged leases.
Resources has leasehold interests in the 340 MW natural gas fired Kings Lynn
generating facility and the 360 MW natural gas fired Peterborough generating
facility located in the United Kingdom. The counter-party is an indirect
subsidiary of TXU Europe, which is wholly owned by the TXU Corporation. The TXU
Corporation recently announced their decision to reduce their financial
commitment to TXU Europe further noting their intention to sell the subsidiary.
Moody's recently reduced their ratings to Ca citing that the entity is not
meeting its financial commitments to suppliers or creditors when due. Our lease
transactions are secured, and we believe that in any event of default, we will
be able to recover our lease investment which totals $65 million, net of
deferred taxes of $109 million as of September 30, 2002, although no assurances
can be given.
Foreign Operations
As of September 30, 2002, Global and Resources had approximately $2.870 billion
and $1.425 billion, respectively, of international assets. As of September 30,
2002, foreign assets represented 17% of our consolidated assets and the revenues
related to those foreign assets contributed 6% to consolidated revenues for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2002. For discussion of foreign

ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We have has established and maintained disclosure controls and procedures which are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to us,the each company, including ourtheir respective consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to usthe Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of each company, by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly
report is being prepared. Weentities. PSEG, PSE&G, Power and Energy Holdings have established a Disclosure Committee which is made up of several key management employees and reports directly to the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer of each company, to monitor and evaluate these disclosure controls and procedures. The Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer of each company have evaluated the effectiveness of ourthe disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of thisthese quarterly reportreports (the "Evaluation Date"''Evaluation Date''). Based and based on this evaluation, we haveit was concluded that ourthe disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance during the period covered in thisthese quarterly report.reports. There were no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of oureach companies' most recent evaluation. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

that PSE&G had breached agreements covering 1,000 MW of transmission by

all of its service obligations. PSE&G denied the allegations set forth in the
complaint. While finding that Con Edison's presentation of evidence failed to
demonstrate several of the allegations in April 2002, FERC found sufficient
reason to set the complaint for hearing. An initial decision issued by an
administrative law judge in April 2002 upheld PSE&G's claim that the contracts
do not require the provision of "firm" transmission service to Con Edison but
also accepted Con Edison's contentions that PSE&G was obligated to provide
service to Con Edison utilizing all the facilities comprising its electrical
system including generation facilities and that PSE&G was financially
responsible for above-market generation costs needed to effectuate the desired
power flows. Under FERC procedures, an administrative law judge initial decision
is not binding unless and until its findings have been approved by FERC. PSE&G
filed a brief taking exception to the adverse findings of the April 25, 2002
order. A FERC decision concerning the findings of the April 25, 2002 order was
expected on July 31, 2002. Settlement discussions between the companies with
respectno further action related to this matter have been on-going and, on July 17, 2002, representatives
of the companies met for settlement discussions mediated by a FERC
administrative law judge. Based on progress made at these and subsequent
discussions, Con Edison has twice sought to extend the date for the issuance of
the FERC decision addressing the April 25, 2002 initial decision and to extend
the date for the commencement of a hearing with respect to issues in the case
not addressed by the April 25,

2002 initial decision. At present, in the event the dispute is not settled, the
FERC decision is expected in mid-November, 2002 and the hearing before the
administrative law judge will commence in early December 2002. The findings in
the April 25, 2002 initial decision notwithstanding, PSE&G believes it has
complied with the terms of the Agreements and will vigorously defend its
position. The nature and cost of any remedy, which is expected to be prospective
only, cannot be predicted. Further, even in the event settlement is reached with
Con Edison, PSE&G could still be required to bear substantial levels of
additional costs. Docket No. EL02-23-000.
June 30, 2002 Form 10-Q, Page 56. On July 12, 2002, the United States Court of
Appeals, D.C. Circuit, issued an opinion in favor of PSE&G and the other utility
petitioners, reversing an order of the FERC relating to the restructuring of PJM
into an Independent System Operator. The Court agreed with PSE&G's position and
ruled that FERC lacks authority to require the utility owners to give up their
statutory rights under Section 205 of the Federal Power Act. Hence, FERC was
wrong to require a modification to the PJM ISO Agreement eliminating their
rights to file changes to rate design. The court further noted that FERC lacks
authority under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act to require the utility
owners to obtain approval of their withdrawal from the PJM ISO. Hence, FERC had
no right under Section 203 to eliminate the withdrawal rights to which the
utilities had agreed. Further, in ruling on a specific argument raised by PSE&G,
the Court held that FERC had not justified its decision to generically abrogate
wholesale power requirements contracts; FERC was required to make a
particularized finding with respect to the public interest, which was not done
here. This matter is now pending on remand before the FERC.

Form 10-K, page 18 and March 31, 2002 Form 10-Q/A, Page 46. A pressurized water
reactor nuclear unit (PWR) not owned by us was recently identified with a
degradation of the reactor vessel head, which forms part of the pressure
boundary for the reactor coolant system. In August 2002, the NRC issued bulletin
2002-02, requiring that all operators of PWR units submit information
concerning: (i) a summary discussion of the supplemental inspections to be
implemented, and (ii) if no changes are to be implemented, justification for
reliance on visual examinations as the primary method to detect degradation. In
September 2002 we provided the requested information for Salem Nuclear
Generating Station (Salem). The response stated that a bare metal visual
examination will be performed on the Salem reactor vessel heads during each
unit's next refueling outage, in compliance with the bulletin. If repairs are
determined to be necessary, it is estimated that the repair would extend the
outage by approximately four weeks. Our Hope Creek nuclear unit and our
interests in the Peach Bottom units 2 and 3 are unaffected as they are Boiling
Water Reactor nuclear units. We cannot predict what other actions the NRC may
take on this issue.

Electric Base Rate Case
June 30, 10-Q,10-K, Page 56. 13. On May 24,April 3, 2003, the New Jersey Ratepayer Advocate (RPA), the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) Staff and other parties filed briefs in this case based on actual financial data through December 31, 2002, the end of the test year. PSE&G filedsupported an electricincrease of $298 million based on actual data although the increase will be limited to the requested amount of $250 million. The RPA is recommending rate case withrelief of $82 million and the BPU. In this filing,BPU Staff is recommending rate relief of $164 million. The two major differences among the parties relate to return on equity and depreciation expense. PSE&G requested an annual $250 million rate
increase for its electric distribution business. The proposed rate increase
includes $187 million of increased revenues relating to a $1.7 billion increase
in PSE&G's rate base, which is primarily due to the investment that PSE&G has
made in its electric distribution facilities since the last rate case in 1992;
$18 million in higher depreciation rates and $45 million to recover various
other expenses, such as wages, fringe benefits, and the need to enhance the
security and reliability of the electric distribution system. The requested
increase proposes a11.75% return on equity, of 11.75% forwhile the RPA is recommending a 9.50% return on equity and the BPU Staff is recommending 9.75%. PSE&G's&G did not request a change in electric distribution business.
Assuming current cost levelsdepreciation expenses while the RPA and a normal business environment, the proposed
rate increase would significantly impact our earningsBPU Staff are recommending reductions of approximately $100 million and operating cash flows.
The non-depreciation portion of the rate increase ($232 million) would have a
positive effect on our earnings and operating cash flows. The depreciation
portion of the rate increase ($18 million) would have no impact on our earnings,
as the increased operating cash flows would be offset by higher depreciation
charges.$66 million, respectively.which implementedimplementing parts of New Jersey's

Standard Market Design Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR)Final Order.Affiliate Standards
17. 12. On April 22, 2003, the BPU issued for public comment the report of its consultant on the competitive services audit that commenced in July 31, 20022002. The report concluded that PSE&G had implemented the FERC issuedrecommendations from the BPU's March 2000 order and was operating in compliance with Affiliate Standards, with limited exceptions which PSE&G expects to be able to resolve in the ordinary course.

In August 2002, PSE&G filed a petition proposing changes to two components of its rates, the On March 20, 2003, the BPU As of June 1999, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had issued several private letter rulings that concluded that the refunding of ITC balances to utility customers was permitted only over the related assets' regulatory lives, which were terminated upon deregulation. Based on this fact, in 1999, PSEG and PSE&G reversed the excess deferred tax and ITC liabilities relating to its In January 2003, the IRS has proposed for comment regulations that, if adopted, would allow utilities to elect retroactive application to pass these amounts back to customers over periods equivalent to the ones in place prior to deregulation. While PSEG cannot predict the outcome of this matter, a requirement to refund such amounts to customers could have a material impact on PSEG's and PSE&G's financial condition, results of operations and net cash flows. In March 2003, the BPU voted to implement a permanent USF program. The program will be a statewide program initially set at $30 million for qualified gas and electric customers. Discussions are in process regarding the feasibility of an arrearage forgiveness component for the fund. Amounts related to this program will be included in the SBC and collected from utility customers with deferred accounting treatment. Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) Orders 2002 Form 10-K, Page 15. In July 2002, FERC initiated a rate investigation to determine whether the ''regional through-and-out rates'' between MISO and PJM should be eliminated. On March 31, 2003, a FERC Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) found such rates not to be unjust and unreasonable, which was consistent with the positions of PSE&G and Power.

FERC
In April 2002, PJM successfully implemented its ''PJM West'' expansion. Also, in December 2002, several major utilities in the Midwest and mid-atlantic area petitioned FERC to become transmission owners within PJM. Implementation of this filing would more than double the size of the current PJM region and would result in a market encompassing more than 153,000 MW of generation capacity and more than 128,000 MW of peak load. On April 1, 2003, FERC approved the applications of AEP and Commonwealth Edison to join PJM and rejected Virginia Power's request for an Other 2002 Form 10-K, Page 16. In January 2003, FERC also proposed a Texas The Market Oversight Division (MOD) of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) instituted an investigation with regard to the price spikes in the ERCOT balancing energy and ancillary services market that occurred during the February 24-26, 2003 extreme weather conditions, including whether any market manipulation occurred and whether any existing protocols need to be revised on those days, during several trading periods, prices in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) balancing energy market cleared at up to $990 per megawatt-hour (MWh), which is near the $1,000 price cap. Bids submitted by the projects owned by TIE may have set this clearing price. As part of the PUCT investigation, the TIE projects, along with the other market participants, were requested to provide certain information to the MOD relating to its bids from its two generation projects during this period. TIE has supplied all requested information, and TIE believes such information demonstrates that TIE's bidding activities were consistent with ERCOT protocols. The MOD is preparing a report of its findings for presentation to the PUCT this spring. Energy Holdings believes that such report will likely result in changes to bidding protocols within ERCOT that may impose further restrictions on bidding practices, however, Energy Holdings cannot predict the final outcome of this investigation with any certainty. Brazil 2002 Form 10-K, page 17. Rio Grande Energia S.A. (RGE) is regulated by Agencia Nacional de Energia Eletrica (ANEEL), the national regulatory authority. In April 2003, ANEEL approved a 36.07% tariff increase for RGE. The majority of this increase became effective on April 16, 2003 while a portion of this increase is not effective until 2004. The result of this rate case was in line with management's recent expectations. This rate increase is sufficient to maintain the current level of goodwill related to RGE.

law that allowed Luz del Sur to restate its assets to fair market value and take advantage of the resulting higher deductions from depreciation. While Luz del Sur prevailed on this issue in arbitration proceedings that ended in
December 2001, SUNAT pursued the claim in the local Tax Court. The Tax Court ordered SUNAT to rule according to the arbitration, which was favorable to Luz del Sur. The Tax Court did make a reference to a certain article of the law which requires consideration of the legitimacy of the business motives leading to a corporate reorganization, such as the one made by Luz del Sur and which gave rise to the original dispute. Luz del Sur did have legitimate business motives to reorganize when it did and management believes that it acted in accordance with the applicable law and that accordingly Luz del Sur's position should prevail although no assurances can be given. Total liability in the event of a negative ruling is estimated at $22 million. Empresa Distribuidora de Electricidad de Entre Rios S.A. (EDEERSA) 2002 Form 10-K, Page 132. Energy Holdings has been in the process of exiting from the EDEERSA electric distribution company in the Province of Entre Rios, Argentina. In March 2003, PSEG formally and irrevocably renounced, and effectively abandoned, its entire economic and legal interest in EDEERSA. The shares were relinquished, and ownership was assumed by an Argentine trust benefiting current EDEERSA employees, including all of the existing EDEERSA Class C shareholders who received their shares from the Province as part of the initial privatization process. This decision by Energy Holdings was directly the result of actions taken by the government of the Republic of Argentina and the Province of Entre Rios that unilaterally altered the terms of EDEERSA's Concession Agreement, ''pesofying'' and de-indexing EDEERSA's tariff, and obligated EDEERSA to accept illiquid public debt securities known as Bonos Federales as payment in respect of its tariff. Additionally, such laws significantly restricted Global's ability to control the operations of EDEERSA, as unilateral changes enacted by the government restricted Global's ability to manage its operations to reduce the financial losses incurred as a result of such actions. As a result of these and other actions of the federal and provincial governments, EDEERSA has experienced financial difficulties that substantially impaired its value.
