Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure

          The information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including portions of the Utility's monthly operating report for the month ended November 30, 2003 filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (Bankruptcy Court) attached hereto, is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Item 9 of Form 8-K.

          On December 30, 2003, the Utility filed its monthly operating report for the month ended November 30, 2003 with the Bankruptcy Court, as required by Section 704(8) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and Rule 2015 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and prepared in accordance with U.S. Trustee Guidelines Region 17.  The Utility's monthly operating report includes an unaudited income statement for the month and an unaudited balance sheet dated as of the end of the month.  These unaudited financial statements are attached to this report.  Although not included in this report, the monthly operating report filed with the Bankruptcy Court also includes a statement of receipts and disbursements, as well as other information.  The preliminary financial statements were prepared using certain assumptions and estimates that are subject to revision.  Any adjustments for these estimates (based upon changes in facts and circumstances, further analysis, and other factors) will be reflected in the financial statements in the period during which such adjustments are made.  These adjustments could have a material impact on reported results in the future.

Notes

 

1

These unaudited financial statements are prepared for the U.S. Trustee and differ from the requirements of generally accepted accounting principles in that they exclude certain financial statements (statements of cash flows, stockholders equity, and other comprehensive income), relevant footnotes and certain reclassifications.

2

These unaudited financial statements were prepared using certain assumptions and estimates.  These assumptions and estimates are subject to revision.  Further, the amounts shown in this statement, when reported on a quarterly basis, may differ materially due to adjustments in accruals, changes in facts and circumstances, changes in estimates, further analysis, and other factors.

3

Cash and cash equivalents have been reduced for uncleared checks.  On the balance sheet included with the Utility's Annual Report, Form 10-K and 10-Q, uncleared checks are treated as an accounts payable liability.
