SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  GENERAL

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a filing of Southern 
California Gas Company (SoCalGas), a wholly owned subsidiary of 
Pacific Enterprises (PE). The financial statements presented herein 
represent the consolidated financial statements of SoCalGas and its 
subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with the interim-reporting requirements of 
Form 10-Q.  This quarterly report should be read in conjunction 
with SoCalGas' 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K which includes the 
financial statements and notes thereto, its Quarterly Report on 
Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1998, and the 
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Sempra Energy (Commission no. 
1-14201) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 
1998 in connection with the completion of the business combination 
of Pacific Enterprises and Enova Corporation.

Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily 
indicative of results for the entire year.  In the opinion of 
management, the accompanying statements reflect all adjustments 
necessary for a fair presentation.  These adjustments are of a 
normal recurring nature.  Certain changes in account classification 
have been made to prior presentations to conform to the current 
financial statement presentation.

In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the 
Company's accounting policies reflect the financial effects of rate 
regulation authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission 
(CPUC).  The Company applies the provisions of the Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 71, "Accounting for the Effects 
of Certain Types of Regulation" (SFAS 71).  This statement requires 
cost-based rate regulated entities that meet certain criteria to 
reflect the authorized recovery of costs due to regulatory 
decisions in their financial statements.  The Company continues to 
meet the criteria of SFAS 71 in accounting for its regulated 
operations.

2.  BUSINESS COMBINATION

On June 26, 1998 (pursuant to an October 1996 agreement) Enova 
Corporation (Enova) and Pacific Enterprises (PE) combined the two 
companies into a new company named Sempra Energy. As a result of 
the combination, (i) each outstanding share of common stock of 
Enova was converted into one share of common stock of Sempra 
Energy, (ii) each outstanding share of common stock of PE was 
converted into 1.5038 shares of common stock of Sempra Energy and 
(iii) the preferred stock and/or preference stock of Enova's 
principal subsidiary, San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E); PE; 
and SoCalGas remain outstanding. Additional information on the 
business combination is discussed in the Current Report on Form 8-K 
filed by Sempra Energy (Commission no. 1-14201) on June 30, 1998 
and incorporated herein by reference.

Expenses incurred in connection with the business combination are 
$32 million and $7 million, after-tax, for the six-month periods 
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  These costs consist 
primarily of employee-related costs, and investment banking, legal, 
regulatory and consulting fees.

3.  COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, the 
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  Comprehensive income for the 
three-month and the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 
was equal to net income.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION 
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q and Management's 
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of 
Operations contained in the Company's 1997 Form 10-K.  

INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING COMMENTS

The following discussion includes forward-looking statements within 
the definition of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and 
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  The words 
"estimates", "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "plans" and 
"intends," variations of such words, and similar expressions are 
intended to identify forward-looking statements that involve risks 
and uncertainties.  These statements are necessarily based upon 
various assumptions involving judgments with respect to the future 
including, among others, national, regional and local economic, 
competitive and regulatory conditions, technological developments, 
inflation rates, interest rates, energy markets, weather 
conditions, business and regulatory or legal decisions, and other 
uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of 
which are beyond the control of the Company.  Accordingly, while 
the Company believes that the assumptions are reasonable,  there 
can be no assurance that they will approximate actual experience, 
or that the expectations will be realized.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash flows from operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 
1998 increased $266 million from the corresponding period in 1997.  
The increase is primarily due to gas costs' being lower than 
amounts collected in rates (resulting in a decrease in previously 
undercollected regulatory balancing accounts) and an increase in 
gas volumes sold.

Capital expenditures for utility plant are expected to be $180 
million in 1998 and will be financed primarily by internally-
generated funds.

Cash used for financing activities for the six-month period ended 
June 30, 1998 increased $196 million from the corresponding period 
in 1997.  The increase is primarily due to greater short-term debt 
repayments and the repurchase of preferred stock.  On February 2, 
1998, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of 7-3/4% Series 
Preferred Stock for a total cost of $75 million, including unpaid 
dividends.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The decreases in net income are primarily due to the lower base 
margin established in the PBR decision (see below) and the 
business-combination costs discussed in Note 2 of the notes to 
consolidated financial statements.

</TABLE>

The decrease in year-to-date operating revenues is primarily due to 
the margin reduction established in PBR (see below) and lower 
prices for gas.  The increase in total throughput was primarily due 
to colder weather in 1998 compared to 1997.

The decrease in the cost of gas is primarily due to a decrease in 
the average cost of gas purchased to $2.11 per thousand cubic feet 
(MCF) for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998, compared to 
$2.45 per MCF in the corresponding period of 1997.  Under the 
current regulatory framework, changes in revenue resulting from 
changes in core market volumes and cost of gas do not affect net 
income.

The increase in operating and maintenance expense is primarily due 
to the favorable settlements of contingencies in the first half of 
1997.

Recent CPUC Regulatory Activity

Under the Gas Cost Incentive Mechanism (GCIM), the Company can 
recover all costs within a "tolerance band" above the benchmark 
price and refunds all savings within the tolerance band below the 
benchmark price.  The cost of purchases or savings outside the 

<PAGE>PAGE 9
tolerance band is shared equally between customers and 
shareholders.

The Company's gas costs were below the specified GCIM benchmark for 
the annual period ended March 1997.  In June 1997 the Company filed 
a motion with the CPUC requesting a reward for shareholders under 
the procurement portion of the incentive mechanism.  A reward of 
$11 million was approved by the CPUC in June 1998 and is included 
in income for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998.

The CPUC has approved the use of gas futures for managing risks 
associated with the GCIM.  The Company enters into gas futures 
contracts in the open market on a limited basis to mitigate risk 
and better manage gas costs.

Regulatory Activity Influencing Future Performance 

On July 16, 1997, the CPUC issued its final decision on the 
Company's application for Performance Based Ratemaking (PBR), which 
was filed with the CPUC in 1995.

PBR replaces the general rate case and certain other regulatory 
proceedings through December 31, 2002.  Under PBR, regulators allow 
future income potential to be tied to achieving or exceeding 
specific performance and productivity measures, rather than relying 
solely on expanding utility rate base in a market where the Company 
already has a highly developed infrastructure.  Key elements of the 
PBR include a reduction in base rates, an indexing mechanism that 
limits future rate increases to the inflation rate less a 
productivity factor, a sharing mechanism with customers if earnings 
exceed the authorized rate of return on rate base, and rate refunds 
to customers if service quality deteriorates.

The Company implemented the base-margin reduction on August 1, 
1997, and all other PBR elements on January 1, 1998.  The CPUC 
intends the PBR decision to be in effect for five years; however, 
the CPUC decision allows for the possibility that changes to the 
PBR mechanism could be adopted in a decision to be issued in the 
Company's 1998 Biennial Cost Allocation Proceeding (BCAP) 
application which is anticipated to become effective August 1, 
1999.

Under PBR, annual Cost of Capital proceedings are replaced by an 
automatic adjustment mechanism if changes in certain indices exceed 
established tolerances.  The mechanism is triggered if interest 
rates increase or decrease by more than 150 basis points and are 
forecasted to vary by at least 150 basis points for the next year.  
If this occurs, there would be an automatic adjustment of rates for 
the change in the cost of capital according to a pre-established 
formula which applies a percentage of the change to various capital 
components.

For 1998, the Company is authorized to earn a rate of return on 
common equity of 11.6 percent and a 9.49 percent return on rate 
base, the same as in 1997.

The Company has considered the effect of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standard No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" (SFAS 121) on 
its financial statements, including the potential effect of 
electric industry restructuring.  Although the Company believes 
that the volume of gas transported may be adversely impacted by 
electric restructuring, it is not anticipated to result in an 
impairment of assets as defined in SFAS 121 because the expected 
undiscounted future cash flows from the gas transportation 
infrastructure are greater than the assets' carrying amounts.
