Organization and Basis of Presentation



PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation was incorporated in California in 1957 under its former name, Pacific Gas Transmission Company. PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of
PG&E National Energy Group, Inc. (PG&E NEG) and is affiliated with, but is not the same company as, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the Utility), the gas and electric company regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC),
which serves northern and central California. PG&E Corporation is the ultimate corporate parent for both PG&E NEG and the Utility.



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with interim period reporting requirements,
reflect the results for PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries which include North Baja Pipeline, LLC; Pacific Gas Transmission Company; PG&E Gas Transmission Service Company LLC; Pacific Gas
Transmission International, Inc.; and a 50 percent interest in a joint venture known as Stanfield Hub Services, LLC. PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as PG&E GTN, or the
Company.



On July 8, 2003, PG&E NEG, PG&E
GTNs indirect corporate parent, filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division (Bankruptcy Court), Case No.
03-30459. In addition, each of the following indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of PG&E NEG filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court: PG&E Energy Trading
Holdings Corporation (Case No. 03-30463), PG&E Energy Trading-Power, L.P. (Case No. 03-30461), PG&E Energy TradingGas Corporation (Case No. 03-30464), PG&E ET Investments Corporation (Case No.03-30462) (collectively, the ET
Companies), and USGen New England, Inc. (USGenNE) (Case No. 03-30465). On July 29, 2003, two other PG&E NEG subsidiaries, Quantum Ventures and PG&E Energy Services Ventures, Inc., each voluntarily filed petitions in the Bankruptcy Court for
protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. It is anticipated that the Chapter 11 case of USGenNE will be administered separately from the Chapter 11 cases of PG&E NEG and the other subsidiaries. Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code, PG&E NEG and these subsidiaries retain control of their assets and are authorized to operate their businesses as debtors in possession while being subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. PG&E Gas Transmission,
Northwest Corporation has not filed for bankruptcy and does not anticipate doing so.



PG&E Corporation is the ultimate parent corporation of both PG&E NEG and the Company. Under the proposed plan of reorganization PG&E NEG filed with the Bankruptcy Court, if confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court and implemented, PG&E Corporation would no longer have any equity interest in PG&E NEG or the Company. PG&E Corporation may, however, continue to provide certain services on an interim basis, including the administration of
employee benefits.



The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements and information disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.

##### Table of Contents

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. All material adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Prior year amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where necessary to conform to the 2003 presentation. The acquisition of North Baja Pipeline, LLC
during 2002, for reporting purposes, was treated in a manner similar to a pooling of interests as required for such transactions between affiliates under common control as described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2002. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q accordingly reflects the 2002 statement of financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the consolidated reporting entity adjusted as necessary to reflect the inclusion of North
Baja Pipeline, LLC. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for a full year.



Related Party Transactions



Credit Support for Affiliates



PG&E GTNs Board of Directors authorized PG&E GTN to execute and deliver guarantees to support obligations of PG&E Energy Trading
Holdings Corporation (PG&E ET), a wholly owned subsidiary of PG&E NEG, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $900.0 million, and PG&E GTN entered into a Credit Support Agreement with PG&E ET. This Credit Support Agreement was
terminated on October 18, 2002, although certain guarantees existing prior to October 18, 2002, as described below, remain in effect.



Guarantees In Support of Trading ActivitiesAt June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 guarantees in support of trading activities, on behalf of
PG&E ET, with a face value of $195.7 million and $364.4 million, respectively, were outstanding. The estimated overall net exposure was $7.8 million and $37.4 million on the transactions supported by the guarantees at June 30, 2003 and December
31, 2002, respectively. The estimated net exposure is comprised of the amount of outstanding guarantees directly supporting underlying transactions, net of offsetting positions, cash, and other collateral.



On July 14, 2003, J. Aron & Company issued a payment demand to PG&E
GTN under an existing guarantee in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.2 million. On July 16, 2003, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. issued a payment demand to PG&E GTN under an existing guarantee in an aggregate amount of approximately
$4.4 million. PG&E GTN is evaluating these payment demands.



Guarantees in Support of Tolling AgreementsPG&E GTN provided a secondary guarantee to Liberty Electric Power, LLC (Liberty) which guaranteed certain obligations of PG&E Energy TradingPower, LP (PGET), a subsidiary
of PG&E ET, related to a tolling agreement (the Liberty Toll) between PGET and Liberty. The current face amount of the guarantee is $140 million, declining by $10 million annually each April. As a result of PG&E NEGs filing for
bankruptcy, PG&E GTN has become the primary guarantor of PGETs obligation under the Liberty Toll. On July 22, 2003, Liberty issued a $4.4 million payment demand to PG&E GTN under the guarantee, ostensibly for a capacity payment due
from PGET to Liberty arising prior to PGETs filing for bankruptcy protection. PG&E GTN is evaluating this claim.

##### Table of Contents

On August 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved PGETs motion to reject the Liberty Toll, and that
agreement is now terminated. Whether and to the extent either Liberty or PGET may be found liable for termination payments under the Liberty Toll is subject to dispute. If liability is established and PGET is responsible for termination payments to
Liberty, PG&E GTN will be the primary guarantor for any amounts due to Liberty. PG&E GTN will then have a claim against PGET for any amounts paid by PG&E GTN to Liberty under the guarantee. If PG&E GTN becomes directly liable under
the guarantee for substantial termination payments under the Liberty Toll, such liability could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



PG&E GTN had issued a guarantee on behalf of PGET for payment obligations
under an 8-year tolling agreement with DTE Georgetown, LLC (DTE) in an amount not to exceed $24.0 million. On June 26, 2003, PG&E GTN, PGET, and DTE entered into a Termination Agreement which terminated the tolling agreement. In consideration
for a payment of approximately $30 million by PGET, the Termination Agreement releases and discharges PGET from any and all obligations under the Tolling Agreement and PG&E GTN under its guarantee of PGETs obligations, subject to
restoration of PG&E GTNs guarantee obligation in the limited event that DTE may be required to disgorge amounts received from PGET.



Other Related Party Activity



During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, PG&E GTN provided transportation services to the Utility and PG&E GTNs other
affiliates in the normal course of business which accounted for approximately $14.2 million, or 24 percent, and $10.8 million, or 20 percent, respectively, of PG&E GTNs transportation revenues. On a six-month basis ending June 30, 2003 and
2002, PG&E GTN provided transportation services to the Utility and PG&E GTNs other affiliates in the normal course of business which accounted for approximately $29.0 million, or 24 percent, and $22.3 million, or 20 percent,
respectively, of PG&E GTNs transportation revenues.



The Company is charged by PG&E Corporation, PG&E NEG, and other affiliates for services, such as legal, tax, treasury, human resources, and other administrative functions, and for other costs incurred on PG&E GTNs behalf,
including employee benefit costs, insurance and other related costs. The charges for these costs are based on direct assignment to the extent practicable or by using allocation methods that the Company believes are reasonable reflections of the
utilization of services provided to or for the benefits received by the Company. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, PG&E GTN has reflected $3.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, in its operating expenses for
administrative charges from affiliates. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, PG&E GTN has reflected $6.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in its operating expenses for administrative charges from affiliates.



PG&E GTN holds a cash deposit in the amount of $14.2
million from the Utility as security for the Utilitys obligations under transportation contracts with PG&E GTN, per standard credit terms and requirements. PG&E GTN accrued $0.1 million in interest expense related to the cash deposit
from the Utility during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies



Except as disclosed below, PG&E GTN is following the same accounting principles discussed in its 2002 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.



Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for
Guarantees



PG&E GTN incorporated the clarified
disclosure requirements from Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 45, Guarantors Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others (FIN
45) into its December 31, 2002, disclosures of guarantees. Beginning January 1, 2003, PG&E GTN applied the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of FIN 45 to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. PG&E GTN
has not issued or modified any guarantees after December 31, 2002. Accordingly, the adoption of FIN 45 has had no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements of PG&E GTN.



FIN 45 elaborates on existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees. It also clarifies that at the time a company
issues a guarantee, it must recognize liability for the fair value of the obligation it assumes under that guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that specified triggering
events or conditions occur. This information must also be disclosed in interim and annual financial statements.



The adoption of this interpretation did not result in the recognition of any initial liability for the issuance or modification of a guarantee during the
six months ended June 30, 2003.



Accounting for Costs Associated with
Exit or Disposal Activities



On January 1, 2003
PG&E GTN adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146
supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (EITF 94-3). Under EITF
94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the companys commitment to an exit plan if certain other criteria were met. SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability initially should be measured and recorded at fair value. The adoption of this Statement did not have any current impact on the Consolidated Financial
Statements of PG&E GTN at the date of adoption.

Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations



On January 1, 2003, PG&E GTN adopted SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.The
Statement requires that an asset retirement obligation be recorded at fair value in the period in which it is incurred, if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying
amount of the related long-lived asset. In each subsequent period, the liability is accreted to its present value and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the long-lived asset. Rate-regulated entities may recognize regulatory
assets or liabilities as a result of timing differences between the recognition of costs as recorded in accordance with this statement and costs recovered through the ratemaking process. Regulatory assets and liabilities may be recorded when it is
probable that the asset retirement costs will be recovered through the ratemaking process.



PG&E GTN did not recognize any asset retirement obligation associated with its gas transmission facilities because a reasonable estimate of fair value cannot be made regarding the timing of any asset retirements.
PG&E GTN collects estimated removal costs in rates through depreciation in accordance with regulatory treatment. These amounts do not represent SFAS No. 143 asset retirement obligations and will continue to be recorded within accumulated
depreciation. PG&E GTN estimated the related removal costs accrued within accumulated depreciation were approximately $11.7 million on June 30, 2003.



Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted



Changes to Accounting for Certain Derivative Contracts



In June 2003, the FASB issued a new Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) interpretation of SFAS No. 133, Issue No. C20, Scope Exceptions:
Interpretation of the Meaning of Not Clearly and Closely Related in Paragraph 10(b) regarding Contracts with a Price Adjustment Feature (DIG C20). PG&E GTN has determined that this interpretation has no impact on its Consolidated
Financial Statements.



Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with
Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity



In May
2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS No. 150). The Statement addresses concerns of how to measure and classify in the
statement of financial position certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The following freestanding financial instruments must be classified as liabilities: mandatorily redeemable financial instruments,
obligations to repurchase an issuers equity shares by transferring assets, and certain obligations to issue a variable number of shares.



The requirements of SFAS No. 150 are applicable to PG&E GTN in the third quarter of 2003. The Statement is to be implemented by reporting the
cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted. PG&E GTN
has determined that SFAS No. 150 has no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease



In May 2003, the EITF reached consensus on EITF 01-8, Determining
whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (EITF 01-8). EITF 01-8 establishes criteria to be applied to any new or modified agreement in order to ascertain if such agreement is in effect a lease, and subject to lease accounting treatment and
disclosure requirements principally found in SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Lease (SFAS No. 13). EITF 01-8 is effective for all new or modified arrangements entered into as of July 12, 2003. PG&E GTN has determined that EITF 01-8
has no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities



In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No.
149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what
circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics of a derivative according to SFAS No. 133 and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. The
provisions of the Statement that relate to SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates.



The requirements of SFAS No. 149 are effective for contracts
entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. PG&E GTN is currently evaluating the impacts, if any, of SFAS No. 149 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities



In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46,
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(FIN 46), which expands upon existing accounting guidance addressing when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities, and activities of another entity
or arrangement with which it is involved. A variable interest entity is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties or an entity where equity investors lack the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. PG&E GTN is currently assessing the impact, if any, of FIN 46 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



NOTE 2:    RELATIONSHIP WITH PG&E CORPORATION AND PG&E NEG



In December 2000, and January and February 2001, PG&E Corporation and PG&E NEG completed a corporate restructuring that involved the use or
creation of limited liability companies (LLCs) as intermediate owners between a parent and its subsidiaries. The LLCs include, among others, GTN Holdings LLC, which owns 100 percent of the stock of PG&E GTN. In addition, PG&E NEGs
organization documents were modified to include the same structural elements as the LLCs.

##### Table of Contents

GTN Holdings LLCs charter requires unanimous approval of its Board of Control, including at least
one independent director before it can (a) consolidate or merge with any entity, (b) transfer substantially all of its assets to any entity, or (c) institute or consent to bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceedings or actions. GTN Holdings LLC
may not declare or pay dividends unless the Board of Control has unanimously approved such action and GTN Holdings LLC, on a consolidated basis with PG&E GTN, meets specified financial requirements. After the restructuring was completed, two
independent rating agencies, Standard & Poors Rating Group (S&P) and Moodys Investor Service (Moodys), reaffirmed investment grade ratings for PG&E GTN and issued investment grade ratings for PG&E NEG. (See
Note 3: Long-Term Debt below, for current credit ratings of PG&E GTN.)



Effect of PG&E NEG bankruptcy filing on PG&E GTN



On July 8, 2003, PG&E NEG, PG&E GTNs indirect corporate parent, filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division (Bankruptcy Court), Case No. 03-30459. In addition, each of the following indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of PG&E NEG filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court: PG&E Energy Trading Holdings Corporation (Case No. 03-30463), PG&E Energy Trading-Power, L.P. (Case No. 03-30461), PG&E Energy Trading  Gas Corporation (Case No. 03-30464), PG&E ET
Investments Corporation (Case No.03-30462) (collectively, the ET Companies), and USGen New England, Inc. (USGenNE) (Case No. 03-30465). On July 29, 2003, two other PG&E NEG subsidiaries, Quantum Ventures and PG&E Energy Services Ventures,
Inc., each voluntarily filed petitions in the Bankruptcy Court for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. It is anticipated that the Chapter 11 case of USGenNE will be administered separately from the Chapter 11 cases of PG&E
NEG and the other subsidiaries. Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, PG&E NEG and these subsidiaries retain control of their assets and are authorized to operate their businesses as debtors in possession while being subject to the
jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. PG&E GTN has not filed for bankruptcy and does not anticipate doing so.



PG&E Corporation is the ultimate parent corporation of both PG&E NEG and the Company. Under the proposed plan of reorganization PG&E NEG filed
with the Bankruptcy Court, if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and implemented, PG&E Corporation would no longer have any equity interest in PG&E NEG or the Company. PG&E Corporation may, however, continue to provide certain services on
an interim basis, including the administration of employee benefits.



In conjunction with the Chapter 11 filings, members of the Boards of Directors of both PG&E NEG and the Company who were employed by PG&E Corporation have resigned and have been replaced. As disclosed in the recent PG&E GTN
Current Report on Form 8-K, on July 8, 2003, Thomas B. King resigned from his positions as President of the Company and as a director of the Company, and Bruce R. Worthington and Peter A. Darbee resigned as directors of the Company, simultaneously
with their resignations from similar posts at PG&E NEG. On that same date, Sanford L. Hartman, Robert T. Howard, and John C. Barpoulis were elected as directors of the Company, and P. Chrisman Iribe was appointed as President.

Effect of Utility bankruptcy on PG&E GTN



On April 6, 2001, the Utility filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Utility retains control of its assets and is authorized to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession
while being subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California.



The Utility and PG&E Corporation initially filed a proposed plan of reorganization for the Utility (the Initial Plan) that entailed separating the
Utility into four distinct businesses. The Initial Plan did not directly affect the Company, except that the Company has executed an agreement to sell to a subsidiary of the Utility approximately 2.66 miles of 42-inch and 36-inch mainline pipe from
the Companys southernmost meter station to the California border, conditioned on approval of the Initial Plan and authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) requesting approval to effectuate the sale.



Under a revised proposed plan of reorganization (the Revised
Plan) the Utility would remain a vertically integrated utility subject to the jurisdiction of the CPUC. Under the Revised Plan, the Company will not consummate the sale of pipe to the Utility as contemplated by the Initial Plan. The Revised Plan
does not directly affect the Company.



The Utility is PG&E
GTNs largest customer, accounting for approximately 20 percent of its transportation revenues for the past several years. As a result of the Utilitys Chapter 11 filing on April 6, 2001, $2.9 million due from the Utility for
transportation services as of that date remains outstanding pending the implementation of the Revised Plan. In accordance with PG&E GTNs FERC tariff provisions, the Utility has provided assurances in the form of cash to support its
position as a shipper on the PG&E GTN pipeline. The Utility is current on all subsequent obligations incurred for the transportation services provided by PG&E GTN and has indicated its intention to remain current. The Revised Plan
contemplates that the Utility will pay all its legitimate debts with interest. The Company anticipates that the Utility will pay the outstanding $2.9 million plus interest at the conclusion of its bankruptcy proceedings.

NOTE 3:    LONG-TERM DEBT



Credit Ratings



At June 30, 2003, PG&E
GTNs credit ratings from Standard and Poors (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service (Moodys) were CCC, on CreditWatch with negative implications and B1, respectively.



On July 8, 2003, S&P lowered its corporate credit rating for PG&E GTN
to CC from CCC and removed the rating from CreditWatch. S&P stated that PG&E GTNs rating was lowered to reflect a differential between a rating on a ring-fenced entity and its parent; in this case, PG&E NEG,
which filed for bankruptcy protection. S&P explained that [w]hile GTN benefits from the legal protection of various structural enhancements that allow Standard & Poors to rate it primarily on its own merits, it guarantees several
obligations of its energy trading affiliate which, if demanded, may be difficult to fund and may result in GTN seeking protection from its creditors.



On July 9, 2003, Moodys downgraded PG&E GTN to B2 from B1, with a negative outlook. Moodys stated that the
downgrade and negative outlook for GTNs rating incorporate GTNs affiliation with a bankrupt entity and the contingent liabilities from its guarantees of the trading and tolling obligations of PG&E Energy Trading Holdings Corporation
(ET), PG&E NEGs energy trading subsidiary which is in bankruptcy. However, GTNs ratings also recognize certain protections provided its creditors by its ring-fenced structure and covenants that limit the level of dividends that can
be paid to PG&E NEG and require unanimous board approval, including that of an independent member, to put GTN into bankruptcy. GTN enjoys a sound stand-alone financial profile, and Moodys believes that it has sufficient debt and borrowing
capacity to finance a reasonable range of liquidity calls that could materialize out of these guarantees.



These rating changes have not increased PG&E GTNs costs to borrow money under its three year $125.0 million corporate credit facility pursuant
to a credit agreement dated as of May 2, 2002 (Credit Agreement).



Debt
Financing



PG&E GTN entered into two new debt
instruments during 2002. PG&E GTN entered into a three year $125.0 million Credit Agreement dated as of May 2, 2002. The interest rate on the facility is based on the London Interbank Offer Rate plus a credit spread. The credit spread
corresponds to a rating issued from time to time by S&P or Moodys on PG&E GTNs senior unsecured long-term debt and was 1.45 percent at June 30, 2003. There were $27.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement
at June 30, 2003.



On June 6, 2002, PG&E GTN issued
$100.0 million of 6.62 percent Senior Notes due June 6, 2012 pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement dated June 6, 2002 (Note Purchase Agreement).



The Credit Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement contain a covenant which limits total debt to 70.0 percent of total capitalization. At June 30, 2003,
the total debt to total capitalization ratio, as defined in the agreements, was 51 percent and PG&E GTN was in compliance with all terms and conditions of its debt agreements.



At June 30, 2003, PG&E GTN also had outstanding $406.0 million of debt (principal amount exclusive of unamortized
discount) that was issued in 1995.

Credit Support



See
Related Party Transactions in Note 1: General above, regarding a credit support agreement and guarantees issued to certain affiliates.



Legal Matters



In addition to the following legal proceeding, PG&E GTN is subject to routine litigation incidental to its business.



Natural Gas Royalties Complaint



This litigation involves the consolidation of approximately 77 False Claims
Act cases filed in various federal district courts by Jack J. Grynberg (called a relator in the parlance of the False Claims Act) on behalf of the United States of America against more than 330 defendants, including PG&E GTN. The cases were
consolidated for pretrial purposes in the U.S. District Court, for the District of Wyoming. The current case grows out of prior litigation brought by the same relator in 1995 that was dismissed in 1998.



Under procedures established by the False Claims Act, the United States
(acting through the Department of Justice (DOJ)) is given an opportunity to investigate the allegations and to intervene in the case and take over its prosecution if it chooses to do so. In April 1999, the DOJ declined to intervene in any of the
cases.



The complaints allege that the various defendants (most
of which are pipeline companies or their affiliates) mismeasured the volume and heating content of natural gas produced from federal or Indian leases. As a result, the relator alleges that the defendants underpaid, or caused others to underpay, the
royalties that were due to the United States for the production of natural gas from those leases.



The complaints do not seek a specific dollar amount or quantify the royalties claim. The complaints seek unspecified treble damages, civil penalties, and
expenses associated with the litigation.



PG&E GTN believes
the allegations to be without merit and intends to present a vigorous defense. PG&E GTN is unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



GENERAL



This information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, in PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporations Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.



The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with interim period reporting requirements, reflect the results for PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries which include North Baja Pipeline, LLC; Pacific Gas Transmission
Company; PG&E Gas Transmission Service Company LLC; Pacific Gas Transmission International, Inc.; and a 50 percent interest in a joint venture known as Stanfield Hub Services, LLC. PG&E Gas Transmission, Northwest Corporation and its
subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein as PG&E GTN, or the Company.



PG&E GTN is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PG&E National Energy Group, Inc. (PG&E NEG) and is affiliated with, but is not the same company as, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the Utility), the
gas and electric company regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission, which serves northern and central California. PG&E Corporation is the ultimate corporate parent for both PG&E NEG and the Utility.



On July 8, 2003, PG&E NEG, PG&E GTNs indirect corporate parent,
filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maryland, Greenbelt Division (Bankruptcy Court), Case No. 03-30459. In addition, each of the
following indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of PG&E NEG filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court: PG&E Energy Trading Holdings Corporation (Case No.
03-30463), PG&E Energy Trading-Power, L.P. (Case No. 03-30461), PG&E Energy Trading  Gas Corporation (Case No. 03-30464), PG&E ET Investments Corporation (Case No.03-30462) (collectively, the ET Companies), and USGen New England,
Inc. (USGenNE) (Case No. 03-30465). On July 29, 2003, two other PG&E NEG subsidiaries, Quantum Ventures and PG&E Energy Services Ventures, Inc., each voluntarily filed petitions in the Bankruptcy Court for protection under Chapter 11 of the
U.S. Bankruptcy Code. It is anticipated that the Chapter 11 case of USGenNE will be administered separately from the Chapter 11 cases of PG&E NEG and the other subsidiaries. Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, PG&E NEG and these
subsidiaries retain control of their assets and are authorized to operate their businesses as debtors in possession while being subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court. PG&E GTN has not filed for bankruptcy and does not anticipate
doing so.



PG&E Corporation is the ultimate parent
corporation of both PG&E NEG and the Company. Under the proposed plan of reorganization PG&E NEG filed with the Bankruptcy Court, if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and implemented, PG&E Corporation would no longer have any equity
interest in PG&E NEG or the Company. PG&E Corporation may, however, continue to provide certain services on an interim basis, including the administration of employee benefits.

PIPELINE OPERATIONS



PG&E GTN is a natural gas pipeline company that owns and operates two pipeline systemsthe system in the Pacific Northwest, which has been in
operation and under control of PG&E GTN, or its predecessors, since inception in 1957, referred to herein as the GTN Pipeline system, or GTN, and the North Baja Pipeline (NBP) system which is owned by North Baja Pipeline, LLC.



The pipeline systems owned and operated by the Company are interstate,
open-access pipeline systems that transport natural gas for third party shippers, on a nondiscriminatory basis. All natural gas transportation services that PG&E GTN provides are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC, or
Commission) and aspects of the operations, primarily related to safety, are regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation.



GTN PipelineThe GTN Pipeline system extends from a point near Kingsgate, British Columbia, on the British Columbia-Idaho border, to a point near
Malin, Oregon, on the Oregon-California border, traversing Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. The natural gas that is transported comes primarily from supplies in Canada for customers located in the Pacific Northwest, Nevada, and California. Customers
are principally local retail gas distribution utilities, electric generators that utilize natural gas to generate electricity, natural gas marketing companies that purchase and resell natural gas to utilities and end-use customers, natural gas
producers, and industrial companies.



North Baja
PipelineThe NBP system extends from a point near Ehrenberg, Arizona to a point near Ogilby, California, on the CaliforniaBaja California, Mexico border. The natural gas that is transported comes primarily from supplies in the
southwestern United States for markets in northern Baja California, Mexico. Customers are principally electric generators that utilize natural gas to generate electricity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES



As of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, PG&E GTN had approximately $18.6 million and $10.6 million in cash and cash
equivalents, respectively.



Sources of
CapitalHistorically, the Companys capital requirements have been funded primarily from cash provided by operations, external financing, and capital contributions from its parent company. PG&E GTN has paid dividends as part of
a balanced approach to managing its capital structure, funding its operations and capital expenditures, and maintaining appropriate cash balances. Certain corporate actions have been taken which complied with rating agency criteria to further
separate a subsidiary from its parent and affiliates, enabling PG&E GTN to retain its own credit rating based on its own creditworthiness. For more information on these corporate actions, see Note 2: Relationship with PG&E Corporation
and PG&E NEG included in Item 1: Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above. As a result of these actions, GTN Holdings LLC, PG&E GTNs immediate parent, may not declare or pay dividends unless its Board of
Control (including at least one independent director) has unanimously approved such dividends, and GTN Holdings LLC, on a consolidated basis with PG&E GTN, maintains a debt coverage ratio of not less than 2.25:1 and a leverage ratio of not
greater than 0.70:1 after giving effect to the dividend, or an investment grade credit rating.



PG&E GTN has $98.0 million of borrowing capacity available under a three year $125.0 million corporate credit facility pursuant to a credit agreement dated as of May 2, 2002 (Credit Agreement). The interest rate
on the facility is based on the London Interbank Offer Rate plus a credit spread of currently 1.45 percent. The credit spread corresponds to a rating issued from time to time by Standard and Poors (S&P) or Moodys Investors Service
(Moodys) on PG&E GTNs senior unsecured long-term debt. At June 30, 2003, there were $27.0 million in outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement.



Net Cash Provided by Operating ActivitiesFor the six months ended June 30, 2003, net cash provided by
operating activities was $45.9 million, compared with $72.2 million for the same period in 2002. During 2003, the Company made payments to affiliates for accrued income taxes in the amount of $18.9 million, compared to $12.5 million in 2002. Changes
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities resulted in a net use of $11.7 million in 2003 as a result of the conclusion of construction activities on NBP, while in the first half of 2002, construction was on the increase which drove accounts
payable up, providing cash flow of $10.1 million. Net income was $5.2 million lower in 2003 than 2002, however when combined with the changes in depreciation and amortization, deferred income tax expense and Allowance for Funds Used During
Construction (AFUDC) equity income recorded, the net cash provided was approximately $1.9 million greater in 2003 than in 2002. Changes in regulatory assets and liabilities also provided $3.6 million more in cash flow in 2003 than in 2002.



NetCash Used in Investing
ActivitiesFor the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002, net cash used in investing activities decreased by $32.3 million. During 2002 PG&E GTN had two significant expansion projects underway which are
now fully completed: the 2002 expansion project on GTN and the North Baja Pipeline project. In the second quarter of 2002, the Company received payment of $75.0 million which was previously loaned to PG&E Corporation. AFUDC on borrowed funds has
decreased in 2003, when compared to 2002, as a result of the significantly lower levels of construction activity underway in 2003.

System Expansion and Business DevelopmentPG&E GTN regularly solicits
expressions of interest for the acquisition or development of additional pipeline capacity and may develop additional firm transportation capacity as sufficient demand is demonstrated. PG&E GTN has initiated preliminary assessments of lateral
pipelines that would originate on the GTN mainline system and would extend to metropolitan areas in the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, PG&E GTN has been monitoring developments related to the future transportation needs of potential liquified
natural gas shippers and other entities that may locate their operations near the North Baja Pipeline. As a result, PG&E GTN recently began an open season to solicit expressions of interest for additional pipeline capacity on the NBP system to
deliver gas to Mexican and U.S. markets.



Net Cash
Provided by (Used in) Financing ActivitiesFor the six months ended June 30, 2003, cash used in financing activities was $30.9 million reflecting the paydown of borrowing under the Credit Agreement. No new debt was issued during
the first half of 2003. No dividends were paid, nor were any capital contributions received during the first half of 2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, cash provided by financing activities was $44.1 million, reflecting a net borrowing of
$15.0 million under the revolving credit agreement or the subsequent Credit Agreement which were in place in the first half of 2002, along with $73.0 million capital contributions received from parent, less a dividend payment of $44.0 million. See
Note 3: Long-Term Debt included in Item 1. Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above, for a further discussion of financing activities.



Credit Rating ChangesDuring 2003, changes have occurred in the credit ratings issued by both S&P and
Moodys for PG&E GTN. See Note 3. Long-Term Debt included in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above, for further information regarding recent credit rating changes.



GuaranteesPG&E GTNs Board of Directors
authorized PG&E GTN to execute and deliver guarantees to support obligations of PG&E Energy Trading Holdings Corporation (PG&E ET), a wholly owned subsidiary of PG&E NEG, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $900.0 million, and
PG&E GTN entered into a Credit Support Agreement with PG&E ET. This Credit Support Agreement was terminated on October 18, 2002, although certain guarantees existing prior to October 18, 2002, as described below, remain in effect.



Guarantees In Support of Trading ActivitiesAt
June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 guarantees in support of trading activities, on behalf of PG&E ET, with a face value of $195.7 million and $364.4 million, respectively, were outstanding. The estimated overall net exposure was $7.8 million
and $37.4 million on the transactions supported by the guarantees at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. The estimated net exposure is comprised of the amount of outstanding guarantees directly supporting underlying transactions, net
of offsetting positions, cash, and other collateral.



On July
14, 2003, J. Aron & Company issued a payment demand to PG&E GTN under an existing guarantee in an aggregate amount of approximately $1.2 million. On July 16, 2003, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc. issued a payment demand to PG&E GTN
under an existing guarantee in an aggregate amount of approximately $4.4 million. PG&E GTN is evaluating these payment demands.

Guarantees in Support of Tolling AgreementsPG&E GTN provided a secondary guarantee to
Liberty Electric Power, LLC (Liberty) guaranteeing certain obligations of PG&E Energy Trading  Power, LP (PGET), a subsidiary of PG&E ET, related to a tolling agreement (the Liberty Toll) between PGET and Liberty. The current face
amount of the guarantee is $140 million, declining by $10 million annually each April. As a result of NEGs filing for bankruptcy, PG&E GTN has become the primary guarantor of PGETs obligation under the Liberty Toll. On July 22, 2003,
Liberty issued a $4.4 million payment demand to PG&E GTN under the guarantee, ostensibly for a capacity payment due from PGET to Liberty arising prior to PGETs filing for bankruptcy protection. PG&E GTN is evaluating this claim.



On August 6, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court approved PGETs
motion to reject the Liberty Toll, and that agreement is now terminated. Whether and to the extent either Liberty or PGET may be found liable for termination payments under the Liberty Toll is subject to dispute. If liability is established and PGET
is responsible for termination payments to Liberty, PG&E GTN will be the primary guarantor for any amounts due to Liberty. PG&E GTN will then have a claim against PGET for any amounts paid by PG&E GTN to Liberty under the guarantee. If
PG&E GTN becomes directly liable under the guarantee for substantial termination payments under the Liberty Toll, such liability could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



PG&E GTN had issued a guarantee on behalf of PGET for payment
obligations under an 8-year tolling agreement with DTE Georgetown, LLC (DTE) in an amount not to exceed $24.0 million. On June 26, 2003, PG&E GTN, PGET, and DTE entered into a Termination Agreement which terminated the tolling agreement. In
consideration for a payment of approximately $30 million by PGET, the Termination Agreement releases and discharges PGET from any and all obligations under the Tolling Agreement and PG&E GTN under its guarantee of PGETs obligations,
subject to restoration of PG&E GTNs guarantee obligation in the limited event that DTE may be required to disgorge amounts received from PGET.



CREDIT AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES



PG&E NEG has established a Risk Policy Committee and a risk management policy, which is also applicable to PG&E GTN. This committee oversees
implementation and compliance with the policy and approves each risk management program.



Credit RiskCredit risk is the risk of loss that PG&E GTN would incur if counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. PG&E GTN conducts business primarily with customers in
the energy industry, and this concentration of counterparties may impact the overall exposure to credit risk in that its counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory, or other conditions. PG&E GTN mitigates
potential credit losses in accordance with established credit policies that establish the levels of business conducted with counterparties that have, or provide a guarantee from an entity that has, an acceptable investment grade credit rating as
specified in GTNs or NBPs system tariffs. For shippers that meet this standard, PG&E GTN will extend limited credit based on a shippers financial statements or on the financial statements of the guarantor, as applicable. For
shippers not meeting these requirements, PG&E GTN will accept credit assurances either in the form of cash or a standby letter of credit. PG&E GTN reviews credit exposure to each counterparty periodically or on an event driven basis.

##### Table of Contents

Regarding credit assurances, GTN is currently involved in several proceedings at FERC in which the
Commission is evaluating the level of collateral that GTN may demand from shippers not meeting GTNs credit standard. See Part II: Other InformationLegal Proceedings below, for a discussion of proceeding before the Commission
at Docket Nos. RP03-41 and RP03-70. As a result of a May 7, 2003 FERC order under Docket No. RP03-70, GTN is modifying its tariff and shipper collateral requirements to reflect that GTN may demand collateral from shippers holding existing system
capacity in an amount up to three months of the shippers demand charges. In addition, GTN has reduced collateral held from shippers providing collateral in the form of cash or a letter of credit in excess of three months of demand charges.



Mirant Americas Energy Marketing, LP (MAEM), one of PG&E
GTNs shippers, voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection on July 14, 2003. MAEM has not defaulted on any of their contracts or obligations, and PG&E GTN holds the maximum amount of collateral allowed by tariff. MAEM was
current with its obligations with PG&E GTN at the time of the Chapter 11 filing.PG&E GTN does not expect the MAEM bankruptcy filing to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



Market Risk



GTN PipelineAt June 30, 2003 GTN Pipeline has sold
approximately 94.2 percent of its total available long-term firm capacity under long-term firm contracts with an average term of approximately 10.6 years. GTN remarkets the remaining capacity as short-term (less than one year) firm capacity and/or
on a long-term basis and anticipates that it will remarket the capacity on a long-term basis in the future. Variables that impact GTNs ability to contract capacity under long-term firm agreements include, but are not limited to, continental
gas supply and demand levels, the availability of energy substitutes, the availability and transportation cost of interconnecting pipeline facilities as well as the availability and transportation cost of competitive pipeline facilities that serve
the same supply sources and market areas as GTN.



North Baja
PipelineAt June 30, 2003 NBP has sold approximately 87.2 percent of its total available long-term firm capacity under long-term firm contracts with an average term of approximately 19.1 years. NBP has entered into contractual commitments
which when fully implemented in January 2006 will result in a subscription rate for available long-term firm capacity of 95.0 percent. NBP remarkets the remaining capacity as short-term (less than one year) firm capacity and/or on a long-term basis
and anticipates that it will remarket the capacity on a long-term basis in the future. See System Expansion and Business Development under Liquidity and Capital Resources above, for discussion regarding current open season
for capacity. Variables that impact NBPs ability to contract capacity under long-term firm agreements include, but are not limited to, continental gas supply and demand levels, the availability of energy substitutes, the availability and
transportation cost of interconnecting pipeline facilities as well as the availability and transportation cost of competitive pipeline facilities that serve the same supply sources and market areas as NBP.

Net
IncomeNet income for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 decreased $3.9 million and $5.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2002. Higher operating revenues during 2003 as a result of NBP going into
service in late 2002, were more than offset by a combination of higher operating expenses, including depreciation on NBP, reduced AFUDC income in 2003, lower interest income, and higher cost of borrowed funds. Further detail on the items effecting
net income are reflected in the paragraphs which follow.



Operating RevenuesOperating revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 increased $4.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2002. The increases resulted from a
combination of factors including $4.7 million of new revenues earned from NBP in the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 and a total of $8.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, which were not present in the comparable periods in
2002. In addition, a $2.7 million contract termination settlement fee was received by NBP and recorded as Other Revenue during the first quarter of 2003. Partially offsetting these increases was the fact that long-term firm commodity revenues
related to actual gas flows, short-term firm revenues, and interruptible revenues were all down in 2003 when compared to 2002 as a result of unfavorable price differentials between various points along the GTN system during the first half of 2003.

For the three- and
six- month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared with the same periods in 2002, total operating expenses increased $2.5 million and $4.1 million, respectively. For the three- month period ended June 30, 2003, administrative and general expenses show
a decline year over year, due in large part to lower industry surcharge fees that are associated with actual gas deliveries which have been lower in 2003 than in 2002. The reduction in these fees of $0.5 million are directly offset by corresponding
revenue reductions and have no effect on net income. In addition, labor related savings and cost containment efforts reduced administrative and general expenses by $0.6 million in 2003, however, corporate allocations were $0.1 million higher than
the prior year period and NBP expenses in 2003 added $0.3 million. Operations and maintenance expenses are higher in 2003 due in part to higher labor costs on GTN and expenses on NBP which were not present in 2002. Depreciation expense was up as a
result of depreciation on the NBP system of $1.3 million and from the completion of the 2002 expansion project on GTN. Property and other taxes were up approximately $0.4 million on GTN and $0.2 million on NBP as a result of the completion of the
2002 GTN expansion and the NBP system.



For the six- month
period ended June 30, 2003, administrative and general expenses show a decline year over year which is due in large part to lower industry surcharge fees that are associated with actual gas deliveries which have been lower in 2003 than in 2002. The
reduction in surcharge fees of $1.2 million are directly offset by corresponding revenue reductions and have no effect on net income. In addition, labor related savings and cost containment efforts reduced administrative and general expenses by $1.2
million in 2003, however, corporate allocations were $0.3 million higher than the prior year period and NBP expenses in 2003 added $0.6 million. Operations and maintenance expenses are higher in 2003 due in part to higher labor costs on GTN and
expenses on NBP which were not present in 2002. Depreciation expense was up as a result of depreciation on the NBP system of $2.6 million and from the completion of the 2002 expansion project on GTN. Property and other taxes were up
approximately $0.7 million on GTN and $0.6 million on NBP as a result of the completion of the 2002 GTN expansion and the NBP system.



Other income and (income deductions)For the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2003, compared with the same periods in 2002,
the decrease in other income is primarily due to the loss of comparable interest income of $1.4 million, and $2.8 million, respectively, associated with the $75.0 million loan to PG&E Corporation during 2002, which is no longer in place, and
$3.4 million, and $5.1 million, respectively, less AFUDC equity credits during 2003 resulting from reduced construction activity in 2003.

Interest ExpenseTotal interest expense for the three- and six- month periods
ended June 30, 2003 was $1.2 million and $2.8 million more, respectively, than interest expense for the same periods in 2002. Interest expense on borrowed funds was $0.6 million greater in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 and $1.6 million greater for
the six- month period ended June 30, 2003 than during the comparable periods of 2002 as a result of higher outstanding debt levels and slightly higher average interest rates in 2003, when compared to the same periods in 2002. AFUDC credits for
borrowed funds were down $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2003, respectively, from the same periods in 2002 as a result of lower construction activity in 2003. For the three-month period ended June
30, 2003, and 2002, the average interest rate on borrowed funds was approximately 7.4 percent and 7.1 percent, respectively, while the average balance of debt outstanding was $541.4 million and $533.3 million, respectively. For the six-month period
ended June 30, 2003, and 2002, the average interest rate on borrowed funds was approximately 7.3 percent and 6.9 percent, respectively, while the average balance of debt outstanding was $549.2 million and $532.9 million, respectively.



CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIESACCOUNTING FOR THE EFFECTS OF REGULATION



PG&E GTN accounts for the financial effects of
regulation in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. As a result of applying the provisions of SFAS No. 71, PG&E
GTN has accumulated approximately $42.1 million of regulatory assets and $16.8 million of regulatory liabilities as of June 30, 2003.



ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED



Changes to Accounting for Certain Derivative ContractsIn June 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new
Derivatives Implementation Group (DIG) interpretation of SFAS No. 133, Issue No. C20, Scope Exceptions: Interpretation of the Meaning of Not Clearly and Closely Related in Paragraph 10(b) regarding Contracts with a Price Adjustment
Feature (DIG C20). PG&E GTN has determined that this interpretation has no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and EquityIn May 2003, the FASB issued Statement
No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS No. 150). The Statement addresses concerns of how to measure and classify in the statement of financial position
certain financial instruments that have characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The following freestanding financial instruments must be classified as liabilities: mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, obligations to repurchase an
issuers equity shares by transferring assets, and certain obligations to issue a variable number of shares.

##### Table of Contents

The requirements of SFAS No. 150 are applicable to PG&E GTN in the third quarter of 2003. The
Statement is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of
adoption. Restatement is not permitted. PG&E GTN has determined that SFAS No. 150 has no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a LeaseIn May 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus on EITF 01-8,
Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease (EITF 01-8). EITF 01-8 establishes criteria to be applied to any new or modified agreement in order to ascertain if such agreement is in effect a lease, and subject to lease
accounting treatment and disclosure requirements principally found in SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Lease (SFAS No. 13). EITF 01-8 is effective for all new or modified arrangements entered into as of July 12, 2003. PG&E GTN has
determined that EITF 01-8 has no impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



Consolidation of Variable Interest EntitiesIn January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities(FIN 46), which expands upon existing accounting guidance addressing when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities, and activities of another entity or arrangement with which it is
involved. A variable interest entity is an entity that does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or an entity
where equity investors lack the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest. PG&E GTN is currently assessing the impact, if any, of FIN 46 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.



Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging
ActivitiesIn April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies the accounting and reporting
for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristics
of a derivative according to SFAS No. 133 and when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. The provisions of the Statement that relate to SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that
have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates.



The requirements of SFAS No. 149 are effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after
June 30, 2003. PG&E GTN is currently evaluating the impacts, if any, of SFAS No. 149 on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS



PG&E GTN is subject to a number of federal, state and local laws and regulations designed to protect human health and
the environment by imposing stringent controls with regard to planning and construction activities, land use, and air and water pollution, and, in recent years, by governing the use, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous or toxic materials.
These laws and regulations affect future planning and existing operations, including environmental protection and remediation activities. PG&E GTN has generally been able to recover the costs of compliance with safety and environmental laws and
regulations in its rates.



On an ongoing basis, PG&E GTN
assesses measures that may need to be taken to comply with environmental laws and regulations related to its operations. PG&E GTN believes that it is in substantial compliance with applicable existing environmental requirements and that the
ultimate amount of costs, individually or in the aggregate, that it may incur in connection with its compliance and remediation activities will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.



ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK



See Credit and Market Risk Management Activities included in Item 2: Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations above.



ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES



Based on an evaluation of PG&E GTNs disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2003, PG&E GTNs principal executive and
principal financial officers have concluded that such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by PG&E GTN in reports the Company files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.



There were no changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2003 that have materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, PG&E GTNs controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS



Natural Gas Royalties ComplaintSee Legal Matters in Note 4: Commitments and Contingencies in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1,
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above.



e prime, inc., FERC Docket No. RP03-41 and RP03-70On October 29, 2002, e prime, inc. (e prime), a shipper on the GTN Pipeline system, filed a complaint with the FERC in Docket No. RP03-41 alleging that GTNs credit
requirements were too onerous and not supported by the pipelines Tariff. On November 8, 2002, GTN responded to the complaint, and also filed revised Tariff sheets in Docket No. RP03-70, clarifying its credit procedures. Significant issues
raised in the proceeding include whether GTN can require up to one year of collateral from shippers that do not maintain an investment grade rating and whether such collateral must be maintained in segregated accounts. On December 6, 2002, FERC
issued an order accepting and suspending GTNs Tariff filing in Docket No. RP03-70, subject to the outcome of a technical conference, which was held on January 10, 2003. Initial and reply comments to the technical conference were filed by GTN
and various parties.



On January 24, 2003, the Commission
issued an order in the underlying e prime complaint proceeding (Docket No. RP03-41) supporting GTNs determination that e prime was not creditworthy pursuant to GTNs Tariff, and directing GTN to provide additional information supporting
its Tariff requirements. GTN provided the additional information on January 29, 2003.



On March 14, 2003, FERC issued an order granting e primes complaint to the extent that GTN required e prime to provide a prepayment of 12 months of demand charges, and directed GTN to refund to e prime
collateral held in excess of 3 months of demand charges. In accordance with the Commissions order, GTN refunded $0.5 million to e prime, inclusive of interest. GTN also reduced the amount of collateral held from other similarly situated
shippers. On April 14, 2003, GTN filed for rehearing and clarification of the Commissions March 14 Order. On July 2, FERC issued an order granting GTNs request for clarification and denying GTNs request for rehearing. On May 7,
2003, the Commission issued an Order in Docket No. RP03-70, accepting GTNs tariff filing subject to further modifications, including a requirement that GTN modify its tariff to limit the amount of collateral it is entitled to require from
existing shippers, with an S&P rating less than BBB receiving service on existing system facilities, to three months of demand charges. On May 19, 2003 GTN filed tariff sheets in compliance with the Commissions May 7 Order, and on June 6,
2003, GTN and certain other parties filed requests for rehearing of that order.



At the conclusion of these proceedings, GTN may be permitted to reinstate its collateral requirement to twelve months of demand charges for some or all of its shippers and/or be required to hold shipper collateral in
segregated accounts. PG&E GTN does not expect that the ultimate outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

County of Imperial and City of El Centro v. California State Lands Commission (North Baja Pipeline
LLC, Intergen Services, Inc. and Sempra Energy, Real Parties in Interest), California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, Civil No. C043219 (North Baja Pipeline Litigation)North Baja Pipeline, LLC and the California
State Lands Commission are defendants in an action brought by the County of Imperial and the City of El Centro alleging that the environmental impact report prepared for the North Baja pipeline by the California State Lands Commission fails to meet
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Intergen and Sempra were subsequently dismissed from the case. The action contains eleven causes of action, all of which are alleged violations of CEQA. The first cause of action
alleges that the State Lands Commission, in preparing the environmental impact report, failed to address environmental justice issues. The remaining causes of action all challenge the environmental impact report on various grounds. Most of these
causes of action are based on a claim and theory that the environmental impact report was required to evaluate and the California State Lands Commission was required to mitigate, as part of the North Baja pipeline project, potential air emissions
from power plants located in Mexico which (in addition to plants in San Diego County) will be served by the pipeline. Petitioners prayer for relief further seeks to enjoin construction of the pipeline, although to date no injunction has been
sought. A Superior Court hearing on the merits of the case was held on September 13, 2002. On November 27, 2002, Judge Gail D. Ohanesian of the Sacramento County Superior Court entered a Judgment Denying the Petition for Writ of Mandate and Denying
Request for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief granting judgment in favor of the California State Lands Commission and North Baja Pipeline, LLC and against Petitioners.



On January 31, 2003, Petitioners filed a Notice of Appeal appealing the Superior Courts judgment to the California
Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District. Petitioners/Appellants filed their Opening Brief on May 27, 2003, and Respondents California State Lands Commission and North Baja Pipeline, LLC filed their Opposition Briefs on July 15, 2003.
Petitioners/Appellants will file a Reply Brief in August 2003. PG&E GTN contemplates that the Court of Appeal will not issue its decision on Petitioners appeal before the latter part of 2003 or early 2004. PG&E GTN believes that the
outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
