Item 57. ~~Other~~Financial Statements ~~Events~~ and ~~Regulation FD Disclosure~~ Exhibits

~~Final~~(c) Fuel Reconciliation. Prior to the beginning of retail competition, TNMP recovered fuel and the energy-related portion of purchased power costs from customers through the fuel adjustment clause authorized by the PUCT. The demand-related portion of purchased power was recovered through base rates and, unlike the fuel and energy-related portion, was not subject to adjustment or future reconciliation. As of September 30, 2003, TNMP had an over-recovered balance of fuel and energy-related purchased power costs of $24.3 million. On April 1, 2003, TNMP filed an application with the PUCT for the final reconciliation of its fuel and energy-related purchased power costs. This proceeding will reconcile fuel and energy-related purchased power costs incurred between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2001, in accordance with the provisions of Senate Bill 7. The balance of fuel and energy-related purchased power costs resulting from the final fuel reconciliation will be included in the true-up proceeding for stranded costs that will occur in 2004. Subject to the results of the final fuel reconciliation, any over-recovered balance may reduce the amount of stranded costs TNMP would be entitled to recover from its transmission and distribution customers.
