REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Trustees and Participants in the
Sempra Energy Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Sempra Energy Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SEMPRA ENERGY SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 

1.                      PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

The following description of the Sempra Energy Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Sempra Energy or any affiliate who has adopted this Plan (the “Company” or “Employer”) with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in Sempra Energy common stock and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan was amended to allow Employer contributions to be funded, in part, from the Sempra Energy Stock Ownership Plan and Trust, effective January 1, 2000.

 

The Plan was amended, effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Strategy Trust – Balanced, from the date of the amendment through December 31, 2003. On December 31, 2003, the balance in that trust was transferred to the T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Fund, and effective January 1, 2004 became the investment vehicle for automatic deferrals.

 

On September 15, 2003, the Company, as part of the IRS Voluntary Compliance Program, made approximately $400,000 in contributions for certain participants to correct Plan defects that existed prior to June 26, 1998, the date of the business combination that created the Company. This included approximately $300,000 in corrective employee contributions and approximately $100,000 in corrective Company matching contributions.

 

The Plan was amended, effective October 1, 2003, to allow participants who have attained age 55 and have ten years of service with the Company as of October 1, to direct up to 10% of the shares in the employer matching account or the statutorily calculated amount of the ESOP shares, whichever is greater, into any of the Plan’s designated investments.

 

Employees transfer between the Company and related entities for various reasons. These transfers follow Federal Affiliated Compliance Guidelines and result in the transfer of participant assets from one plan to another.

 

Administration—Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company.  No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the participants, including recordkeeping, trustee, loan, redemption, and investment management fees.

 

Contributions—Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:

 

4



 

Participating Employee Contributions—Pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), participants may contribute up to 25% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. The IRC limited total individual pre-tax contributions to $13,000 and $12,000, in 2004 and 2003, respectively. On January 1, 2002, catch-up contributions were permitted for participants of at least 50 years of age. The catch-up provision provided these participants the opportunity to contribute an additional $3,000 and $2,000 on a pre-tax basis in 2004 and 2003, respectively (increasing to $4,000 in 2005, and $5,000 in 2006, with inflation adjustments after that until December 31, 2010).

 

Employer Nonelective Matching Contributions—The Company makes matching contributions to the Plan equal to 50% of each participant’s contribution, up to the first 6% of eligible pay, each pay period. The Company’s matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Employer contributions are funded, in part, from the Sempra Energy Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. Total Employer nonelective matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $2,407,128 and $2,193,555, respectively.

 

Discretionary Incentive Contribution—If established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional matching contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy. Incentive contributions of 1.00% of eligible compensation were made for both 2004 and 2003, respectively. The incentive contributions were made on March 15, 2005 and March 14, 2004 to all employees employed on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For 2004, the contribution was made in the form of cash and invested according to each participant’s investment election on the date of contribution.  For 2003, the contribution was made in the form of newly issued shares of Sempra Energy common stock.  Total discretionary incentive contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $895,798 and $879,260, respectively.  These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable on the statements of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Participant Accounts—A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each participant and reflects the participant’s contributions and the Employer’s nonelective matching and discretionary incentive contributions, and the earnings and losses attributed to each investment fund less administrative expenses. Participants are allocated a share of each fund’s investment earnings net of investment fees on a daily basis, based upon their account balance as a percentage of the total fund balance. Investment expenses, except those for a specific transaction, are allocated quarterly to individual funds based on either fund balance or a participant’s pro rata share, as defined in the Plan document.

 

Vesting—All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

Investment Options—All investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock, specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Investment Managers, and Vanguard, or a broad range of funds through a brokerage account. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the employer matching account) in the brokerage account.

 

Payment of Dividends—Active employees’ cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock are reinvested in the Sempra Energy common stock fund.  Cash dividends are paid to former employees who have elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.

 

Payment of Benefits—Participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash or Company stock for any portion of their account held in Company stock at their termination of employment with the Company, retirement, or permanent disability, or to a named beneficiary(ies) in the event of death.

 

5



 

Plan Termination—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants.

 

Related Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments, held through the Master Trust, are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price, the Plan’s recordkeeper; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the recordkeeper for administrative services were $26,078 and $26,853 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan held, through the Master Trust, 1,406,622 and 1,448,903 shares of common stock of Sempra Energy, the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $42,776,671 and $34,619,365 and recorded dividend income of $1,451,075 and $1,481,303, respectively.

 

2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting— The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition—The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense.  The Master Trust investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade dates. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Benefit Payments—Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Basis of Presentation—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

3.                      TAX STATUS

 

On November 14, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued the Plan a favorable determination letter stating that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and the underlying trust is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.

 

6



 

4.                      PARTICIPANT LOANS

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000 and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding, one of which can be a primary residence loan. Primary residence loans are amortized over 15 years and other loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, interest rates on loans, originating from 1999 to the current year, ranged from 5.00% to 10.50% and had maturity dates through August 2019.  The balance of participant loans of $1,840,101 and $1,715,255 is included in Investment in Master Trust on the statement of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

5.                      INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Plan’s assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is based on the individual plan participants’ investment balances. Investment income is allocated on a daily basis through a valuation performed by the Trustee. Expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual funds based upon each participant’s pro-rata share, per share calculation, or by transaction in a specific fund. At both December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 9%.

 

The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

The Plan, through the Master Trust, invests in various securities as detailed above. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.

 

6.                      NON-PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Company’s contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Sempra Energy common stock. These contributions are classified as non-participant directed investments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Trustees and Participants in the
San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 

1.                      PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

The following description of the San Diego Gas & Electric Company Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (the “Company” or “Employer”) with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the parent company of the Employer, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan was amended, effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees not subject to a collectively bargaining agreement who neither elect a specific deferral percentage nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle for all participants was the T. Rowe Price Retirement Strategy Trust — Balanced, from the date of amendment through December 31, 2003. On December 31, 2003, the balance in that trust for non-represented participants was transferred to the T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Fund, and effective January 1, 2004 became the investment vehicle for automatic deferrals. This amendment did not apply to participants subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

 

On September 15, 2003, the Company, as part of the IRS Voluntary Compliance Program, made $3.5 million in contributions for certain participants to correct Plan defects that existed prior to June 26, 1998, the date of the business combination that created the Company’s current parent company. This included $2.4 million in corrective employee contributions and $1.1 million in corrective Company matching contributions.

 

The Plan was amended, effective October 1, 2003, to allow non-represented participants who have attained age 55 and have ten years of service with the Company as of October 1, to direct up to 10% of the shares in the employer matching account or the statutorily calculated amount of ESOP shares, whichever is greater, into any of the Plan’s designated investments.

 

Employees transfer between the Company and related entities for various reasons. These transfers follow Federal Affiliated Compliance Guidelines and result in the transfer of participant assets from one plan to another.

 

Administration—Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of Sempra Energy. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the participants, including recordkeeping, trustee, loan, redemption, and investment management fees.

 

4



 

Contributions—Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:

 

Participating Employee Contributions—Pursuant to 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), participants may contribute up to 25% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. The IRC limited total individual pre-tax contributions to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. On January 1, 2002, catch-up contributions were permitted for participants of at least 50 years of age. The catch-up provision provided these participants the opportunity to contribute an additional $3,000 and $2,000 on a pre-tax basis in 2004 and 2003, respectively (increasing to $4,000 in 2005, and $5,000 in 2006, with inflation adjustments after that until December 31, 2010).

 

Employer Nonelective Matching Contributions—The Company makes matching contributions to the Plan equal to 50% of each participant’s contribution, up to 6% of eligible pay, each pay period. The Company’s matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Total Employer nonelective matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $7,230,699 and $6,500,766, respectively.

 

Discretionary Incentive Contribution—If established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy. Incentive contributions of 1.00% of eligible compensation were made for each of 2004 and 2003. The incentive contributions were made on March 14, 2005 and March 15, 2004 to all employees employed on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For 2004, the contributions were made in the form of cash and invested according to each participant’s investment election on the date of contribution.  For 2003, the contributions were made in the form of newly issued shares of Sempra Energy common stock. Total discretionary incentive contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $2,604,176 and $2,471,669, respectively.  These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable on the statements of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Participant Accounts—A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each participant and reflects the participant’s contributions and the Employer’s nonelective matching and discretionary incentive contributions, and the earnings and losses attributed to each investment fund less administrative expenses. Participants are allocated a share of each fund’s investment earnings net of investment fees on a daily basis, based upon their account balance as a percentage of the total fund balance. Investment expenses, except those for a specific transaction, are allocated quarterly to individual funds based on either fund balance or a participant’s pro rata share, as defined in the Plan document.

 

Vesting—All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

Investment Options—All investments are held on the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock, specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Investment Managers and Vanguard, or a broad range of funds through a brokerage account. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the employer matching account) in the brokerage account.

 

5



 

Payment of Dividends—Active employees have the option to receive distributions of cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock in their account balances or to reinvest the dividends in the Sempra Energy common stock fund. Cash dividends are paid to former employees who have elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.

 

Payment of Benefits—Participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash or Sempra Energy common stock for any portion of their account held in Sempra Energy common stock at their termination of employment with the Company, retirement, or permanent disability, or to the named beneficiary(ies) in the event of death.

 

Termination of the Plan—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants.

 

Related Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments, held through the Master Trust, are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price, the Plan’s recordkeeper; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the recordkeeper for administrative services were $134,437 and $132,210 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan held, through the Master Trust, 7,718,212 and 7,791,076 shares of common stock of Sempra Energy, the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $234,409,511 and $186,518,179 and recorded dividend income of $6,924,754 and $6,840,260, respectively.

 

2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting— The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition— The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense.  The Master Trust investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade dates. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Benefit Payments—Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Basis of Presentation—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

3.                      TAX STATUS

 

On November 14, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued the Plan a favorable determination letter stating that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and the underlying trust is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.

 

4.                      PARTICIPANT LOANS

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000 and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding, one of which can be a primary residence loan. Primary residence loans are amortized over 15 years and other loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, interest rates on loans , originating from 1999 to the current year, ranged from 5.00% to 10.5% and had maturity dates through January 2020.  The balance of participant loans of $9,959,857 and $8,080,016 is included in Investment in Master Trust on the statement of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

5.                      INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Plan’s assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is based on the individual plan participants’ investment balances. Investment income is allocated on a daily basis through a valuation performed by the Trustee.  Expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual funds based upon each participant’s pro-rata share, per share calculation, or by transaction in a specific fund. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately
38% and 37%, respectively.

 

The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

The Plan, through the Master Trust, invests in various securities as detailed above.  Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Trustees and Participants in the
Southern California Gas Company Retirement Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Southern California Gas Company Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 

1.                      PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

The following description of the Southern California Gas Company Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Southern California Gas Company (the “Company” or “Employer”) with retirement benefits. Effective January 1, 2001, all employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the parent company of the Employer, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan was amended effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees not subject to a collective bargaining agreement, who neither elect a specific deferral percentage nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Strategy Trust — Balanced, from the date of amendment through December 31, 2003. On December 31, 2003, the balance in that trust was transferred to the T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Fund and effective January 1, 2004 that will be the investment vehicle for automatic deferrals.  This amendment did not apply to participants subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

 

The Plan was amended, effective October 1, 2003, to allow participants who have attained age 55 and have ten years of services with the Company as of October 1, to direct up to 10% of the shares in the employer matching account or the statutorily calculated amount for the ESOP shares, whichever is greater, into any of the Plan’s designated investments.

 

Employees transfer between the Company and related entities for various reasons. These transfers follow Federal Affiliated Compliance Guidelines and result in the transfer of participant assets from one plan to another.

 

Administration—Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Sempra Energy. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the participants, including recordkeeping, trustee, loan, redemption, and investment management fees.

Contributions—Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:

 

Participating Employee Contributions—Pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), participants may contribute up to 25% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. The IRC limited total individual pre-tax contributions to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. On January 1, 2002, catch-up contributions were permitted for participants of at least 50 years of age. The catch-up provision provided these participants the opportunity to contribute an additional $3,000 and $2,000 on a pre-tax basis in 2004 and 2003, respectively (increasing to $4,000 in 2005, and $5,000 in 2006, with inflation adjustments after that until December 31, 2010).

Employer Nonelective Matching Contribution—The Company makes matching contributions to the Plan equal to 50% of each participant’s contribution, up to the first 6% of eligible pay, each pay period. The Company’s matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Employer contributions are funded in part from the Sempra Energy Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. Total Employer nonelective matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $8,940,214 and $8,073,986, respectively.

 

Discretionary Incentive Contribution—If established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy for non-represented employees. Incentive contributions of 1.00% of eligible compensation were made for each of 2004 and 2003, respectively. The incentive contributions were made on March 17, 2005 and March 15, 2004 to all employees employed on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For 2004, the contributions were made in the form of cash and invested according to each participant’s investment election on the date of contribution.  For 2003, the contributions were made in the form of newly issued shares of Sempra Energy common stock.  Total discretionary incentive contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1,081,874 and $1,034,588, respectively.  These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable on the statements of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Participant Accounts—A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each participant and reflects the participant’s contributions and the Employer’s nonelective matching and discretionary incentive contributions, and the earnings and losses attributed to each investment fund less administrative expenses. Participants are allocated a share of each fund’s investment earnings net of investment fees on a daily basis, based upon their account balance as a percentage of the total fund balance.  Investment expenses, except those for a specific transaction, are allocated quarterly to individual funds based on either fund balance or a participant’s pro rata share, as defined in the Plan document.

 

Vesting—All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

Investment Options—All investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock, specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Investment Managers, and Vanguard, or a broad range of funds through a brokerage account. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the employer matching account) in the brokerage account.

 

5



 

Payment of Dividends—Active employees have the option to receive distributions of cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock in their account balances or to reinvest the dividends in the Sempra Energy common stock. Cash dividends are paid to former employees who elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.

 

Payment of Benefits—Participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash or Sempra Energy common stock for any portion of their account held in Sempra Energy common stock at their termination of employment with the Company, retirement, or permanent disability, or to the named beneficiary(ies) in the event of death.

 

Plan Termination—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants.

 

Related Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments, held through the Master Trust, are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price, the Plan’s recordkeeper; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the recordkeeper for administrative services were $196,533 and $192,490 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan held, through the Master Trust, 12,358,249 and 12,940,668 shares of common stock of Sempra Energy, the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $374,949,062 and $310,027,017 and recorded dividend income of $10,987,630 and $11,141,645, respectively.

 

2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting—The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition— The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense.  The Master Trust investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Benefit Payments—Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Basis of Presentation—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

3.                      TAX STATUS

 

On November 14, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued the Plan a favorable determination letter stating that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and the underlying trust is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.

 

4.                      PARTICIPANT LOANS

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000 and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding, one of which can be a primary residence loan. Primary residence loans have a maximum repayment period of 15 years and other loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, interest rates on loans, originating from 1996 to the current year, ranged from 5.00% to 10.5% and had maturity dates through December 2019.  The balance of participant loans of $17,514,825 and $17,451,058 is included in Investment in Master Trust on the statement of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

5.                      INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Plan’s assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is based on the individual plan participants’ investment balances. Investment income is allocated on a daily basis through a valuation performed by the Trustee. Expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual funds based upon each participant’s pro-rata share, per share calculation, or a transaction in an individual fund. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 51% and 52%, respectively.

 

The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

The Plan, through the Master Trust, invests in various securities as detailed above. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Trustees and Participants in the
Sempra Energy Trading Retirement Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Sempra Energy Trading Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SEMPRA ENERGY TRADING RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 

1.                      PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

The following description of the Sempra Energy Trading Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General—The Plan is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Sempra Energy Trading (the “Company” or “Employer”) with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the parent company of the Employer, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan was amended, effective June 1, 2000, to allow for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the T. Rowe Price Retirement Strategy Trust – Balanced, from the date of amendment through December 31, 2003. On December 31, 2003, the balance in that trust was transferred to the T. Rowe Price Personal Strategy Balanced Fund and effective January 1, 2004 it became the investment vehicle for automatic deferrals.

 

The Plan was amended, effective October 1, 2003, to allow participants who have attained age 55 and have ten years of service with the Company as of October 1, to direct up to 10% of the shares in the employer matching account or the statutorily calculated amount of the ESOP shares, whichever is greater, into any of the Plan’s designated investments.

 

Employees transfer between the Company and related entities for various reasons. These transfers follow Federal Affiliated Compliance Guidelines and result in the transfer of participant assets from one plan to another.

 

Administration—Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of the Company and Sempra Energy. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the participants, including recordkeeping, trustee, loan, redemption, and investment management fees.

 

Contributions—Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:

 

Participating Employee Contributions—Pursuant to section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), participants may contribute up to 25% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. The IRC limited total individual pre-tax contributions to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. On January 1, 2002, catch-up contributions were permitted for participants of at least 50 years of age. The catch-up provision provided these participants the opportunity to contribute an additional $3,000 and $2,000 on a pre-tax basis in 2004 and 2003,

 

4



 

respectively (increasing to $4,000 in 2005, and $5,000 in 2006, with inflation adjustments after that until December 31, 2010).

 

Employer Nonelective Matching Contribution—After one year of service in which an employee works at least 1,000 hours of service, the Company makes contributions to the Plan, each pay period, based on the participant’s contributions and years of service as follows:

 

Less than five years of service        1/3 of participant contributions up to 6% of eligible pay

Five to nine years of service            2/3 of participant contributions up to 6% of eligible pay

Ten years or more of service            100% of participant contributions up to 6% of eligible pay

 

The Company also provides an additional matching contribution of 15% of the participant’s total pre-tax contribution, subject to certain limitations described in the Plan document. The Company’s matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Employer contributions are funded, in part, from the Sempra Energy Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust. Total Employer nonelective matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1,462,175 and $1,167,147, respectively.

 

Discretionary Incentive Contribution—If established performance goals and targets of Sempra Energy are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution as determined by the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy. Incentive contributions of 1.00% of eligible compensation were made for each of 2004 and 2003. The incentive contributions were made on March 16, 2005 and May 4, 2004 to all employees employed on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  For 2004, contributions were made in the form of cash and invested according to each participant’s investment election on the date of contribution.  For 2003, contributions were made in the form of cash, which then was used to purchase shares of Sempra Energy common stock.  Total discretionary incentive contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $410,181 and $367,621, respectively.  These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable on the statements of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Participant Accounts—A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each participant and reflects the participant’s contributions and the Employer’s nonelective matching and discretionary incentive contributions, and the earnings and losses attributed to each investment fund less administrative expenses. Participants are allocated a share of each fund’s investment earnings net of investment fees on a daily basis, based upon their account balance as a percentage of the total fund balance. Investment expenses, except those for a specific transaction, are allocated quarterly to individual funds based on either fund balance or a participant’s pro rata share, as defined in the Plan document.

 

Vesting—All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

Investment Options—All investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock, specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Investment Managers, and Vanguard, or a broad range of funds through a brokerage account. Participants may invest a maximum of 50% of the value of their accounts (excluding the employer matching account) in the brokerage account.

 

5



 

Payment of Dividends—Active employees’ cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock are reinvested in the Sempra Energy common stock fund. Cash dividends are paid to former employees who have elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.

 

Payment of Benefits—Participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash or Sempra Energy common stock for any portion of their account held in Sempra Energy common stock at their termination of employment with the Company, retirement date, or permanent disability, or to the named beneficiary(ies) in the event of death.

 

Plan Termination—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants.

 

Related Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments, held through the Master Trust, are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price, the Plan’s recordkeeper; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the recordkeeper for investment management services were $5,390 and $4,656 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan, through the Master Trust, held 315,881 and 259,592 shares of Sempra Energy common stock of the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $9,711,597 and $7,803,332 and recorded dividend income of $302,512 and $247,552, respectively.

 

2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting— The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition— The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense.  The Master Trust investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade dates. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Benefit Payments—Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Basis of Presentation—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

3.                      TAX STATUS

 

On November 14, 2002, the Internal Revenue Service issued the Plan a favorable determination letter stating that the Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and the underlying trust is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.

4.                      PARTICIPANT LOANS

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000 and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have up to two loans outstanding, one of which can be a primary residence loan. Primary residence loans have a maximum repayment period of 15 years and other loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, interest rates on loans, originating in 2000 to the current year, ranged from 5.00% to 10.50% and had maturity dates through July 2019.  The balance of participant loans of $423,478 and $281,522 is included in Investment in Master Trust on the statement of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

5.                      INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Plan’s assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is based on the individual plan participants’ investment balances. Investment income is allocated on a daily basis through a valuation performed by the Trustee. Expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual funds based upon each participant’s pro-rata share, per share calculation, or by transaction in a specific fund. At both December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust was approximately 2%.

 

The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

The Plan, through the Master Trust, invests in various securities as detailed above. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of certain investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for plan benefits.

 

6.                      NON-PARTICIPANT DIRECTED INVESTMENTS (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Company’s contributions to the Plan are invested solely in Sempra Energy common stock. These contributions are classified as non-participant directed investments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Trustees and Participants in the
Twin Oaks Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Twin Oaks Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

TWIN OAKS SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 

1.                      PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

The following description of the Twin Oaks Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General—The Plan, adopted November 1, 2002, is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Twin Oaks Power, LP or any affiliate who has adopted this Plan (the “Company” or “Employer”) with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the parent company of the Employer, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan was amended, effective October 1, 2003, to allow participants who have attained age 55 and have ten years of service with the Company as of October 1, to direct up to 10% of the shares in the employer matching account into any of the Plan’s designated investments.

 

The Plan allows for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund.

 

Administration—Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of Sempra Energy. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the participants, including recordkeeping, trustee, loan, redemption and investment management fees.

 

Contributions—Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:

 

Participating Employee Contributions—Pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), each participant may contribute up to 15% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis, an after-tax basis, or a combination. The IRC limited total individual pre-tax contributions to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Catch-up contributions are permitted for participants of at least 50 years of age. The catch-up provision provided these participants the opportunity to contribute an additional $3,000 and $2,000 on a pre-tax basis in 2004 and 2003, respectively (increasing to $4,000 in 2005, and $5,000, in 2006, with inflation adjustments after that until December 31, 2010).

 

4



 

Employer Nonelective Matching Contribution—After one year of service in which an employee works at least 1,000 hours of service, the Company makes contributions to the Plan based on the participant’s contributions up to 6% of eligible pay, each pay period. The Company’s matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Total Employer non-elective matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $225,831 and $195,227, respectively.

 

Discretionary Incentive Contribution—If established performance goals and targets of the Company are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution of not less than 3% and not more than 6% of the participant’s eligible pay. Incentive contributions of 5.34 % and 5.82% of eligible compensation were or will be made for 2004 and 2003, respectively. Initial incentive contributions of $ 157,925 and $155,417 were made on March 14, 2005 and April 23, 2004, respectively, to all employees employed on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Voluntary corrective contributions of $49,043 and $54,380 for 2004 and 2003, respectively, will be made on or before July 1, 2005. For 2004, contributions were made in the form of cash and invested according to each participant’s investment election on the date of contribution. For 2003, contributions were made in the form of cash, which then was used to purchase shares of Sempra Energy common stock.  Total discretionary incentive contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $261,349 and $155,417, respectively.  These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable on the statements of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Participant Accounts—A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each participant and reflects the participant’s contributions and the Employer’s nonelective matching and discretionary incentive contributions, and the earnings and losses attributed to each investment fund less administrative expenses. Participants are allocated a share of each fund’s investment earnings net of investment fees on a daily basis, based upon their account balance as a percentage of the total fund balance. Investment expenses, except those for a specific transaction, are allocated quarterly to individual funds based on either fund balance or a participant’s pro rata share, as defined in the Plan document.

 

Vesting—All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

Investment Options—All investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock or specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price and Fidelity Investment Managers.

 

Payment of Dividends—Active employees’ cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock are reinvested in the Sempra Energy common stock fund. Cash dividends are paid to former employees who have elected to leave their accounts in the Plan.

 

Payment of Benefits—Participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash or Sempra Energy common stock for any portion of their account held in Sempra Energy common stock at their termination of employment with the Company, retirement, permanent disability or the named beneficiary(ies) in the event of death.

 

Plan Termination—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants.

 

5



 

Related Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments, held through the Master Trust, are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price, the Plan’s recordkeeper; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the recordkeeper for administrative services were $300 and $300 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan held, through the Master Trust, 31,415 and 14,412 shares of common stock of Sempra Energy, the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $1,008,171 and $385,075 and recorded dividend income of $25,582 and $9,084, respectively.

 

2.                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting— The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition— The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense.  The Master Trust investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Benefit Payments—Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Basis of Presentation—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

3.                      TAX STATUS

 

The Company is in the process of requesting from the Internal Revenue Service a determination letter stating that the Plan, as designed, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan’s administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in accordance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and that the underlying trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.

 

4.                      PARTICIPANT LOANS

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000 and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have one loan outstanding. Primary residence loans have a maximum repayment period of 15 years and other loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made. As of December 31, 2004 and

 

6



 

2003, interest rates on loans, originating from 2002 to the current year, range from 5.0% to 9.5% and had maturity dates through July 2009.  The balance of participant loans of $116,959 and $104,703 is included in Investment in Master Trust on the statement of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

5.                      INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Plan’s assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is based on the individual plan participants’ investment balances. Investment income is allocated on a daily basis through a valuation performed by the Trustee. Expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual funds based upon each participant’s pro-rata share, per share calculation, or by transaction in a specific individual fund. At both December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan had less than 1% interest in the net assets of the Master Trust.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Trustees and Participants in the
Mesquite Power Savings Plan:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of Mesquite Power LLC Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2004, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 2004 financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

MESQUITE POWER, LLC RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004 AND 2003

 

1.                      PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

 

The following description of the Mesquite Power, LLC Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

General—The Plan, adopted November 1, 2002, is a defined contribution plan that provides employees of Mesquite Power LLC (the “Company” or “Employer”) with retirement benefits. Employees may participate immediately in the Plan and, after one year in which they complete 1,000 hours of service, receive an employer matching contribution. Employees may make regular savings investments in common stock of Sempra Energy, the parent company of the Employer, and other optional investments permitted by the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).

 

The Plan was amended, effective October 1, 2003, to allow participants who have attained age 55 and have ten years of service with the Company as of October 1, to direct up to 10% of the shares in the employer matching account into any of the Plan’s designated investments.

 

The Plan allows for automatic deferrals for employees who neither elect a specific deferral percentage, nor elect not to participate in the Plan. The automatic deferral is an amount equal to 3% of eligible pay and the investment vehicle is the T. Rowe Price Stable Value Fund.

 

Administration—Certain administrative functions are performed by officers or employees of Sempra Energy. No such officer or employee receives compensation from the Plan. Certain administrative expenses are paid directly by the Company, such as legal and accounting fees. All investment expenses are paid by the Plan, including recordkeeping, trustee, loan, redemption, and investment management fees.

 

Contributions—Contributions to the Plan can be made under the following provisions:

 

Participating Employee Contributions—Pursuant to Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”), each participant may contribute up to 15% of eligible pay on a pre-tax basis. The IRC limited total individual pre-tax contributions to $13,000 and $12,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. Catch-up contributions are permitted for participants of at least 50 years of age. The catch-up provision provided these participants the opportunity to contribute an additional $3,000 and $2,000 on a pre-tax basis in years 2004 and 2003, respectively (increasing to $4,000 in 2005 and $5,000 in 2006, with inflation adjustments after that until December 31, 2010).

 

Employer Nonelective Matching Contribution—After one year of service in which an employee works at least 1,000 hours of service, the Company makes contributions to the Plan based on the participant’s contributions up to 6% of eligible pay, each pay period. The Company’s matching contributions are invested in Sempra Energy common stock. Total Employer nonelective matching contributions for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $107,236 and $9,776, respectively.

 

4



 

Discretionary Incentive Contribution—If established performance goals and targets of the Company are met in accordance with the terms of the incentive match guidelines established each year, the Company will make an additional incentive contribution of between 0% to not more than 3% of the participant’s eligible pay. Incentive contributions of 2.92% were or will be made for both 2004 and 2003, Initial incentive contributions of $47,126 and $46,262, were made on March 14, 2005 and April 23, 2004, respectively, to all employees employed on December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.  Voluntary corrective contributions of $23,146 and $19,396 for 2004 and 2003, respectively, will be made on or before July 1, 2005.  For 2004, contributions were made in the form of cash and invested according to each participant’s investment election on the date of contribution.  For 2003, contributions were made in the form of cash, which then was used to purchase shares of Sempra Energy common stock.  Total discretionary incentive contribution for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was $89,668 and $46,262, respectively.  These amounts are reflected in employer contributions receivable on the statements of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

Participant Accounts—A separate account is established and maintained in the name of each participant and reflects the participant’s contributions and the Employer’s nonelective matching and discretionary incentive contributions, and the earnings and losses attributed to each investment fund less administrative expenses. Participants are allocated a share of each fund’s investment earnings net of investment fees on a daily basis, based upon their account balance as a percentage of the total fund balance. Investment expenses, except those for a specific transaction, are allocated quarterly to individual funds based on either fund balance or a participant’s pro rata share, as defined in the Plan document.

 

Vesting—All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

 

Investment Options—All investments are held by the Sempra Energy Master Trust (the “Master Trust”) (see Note 5). Employees elect to have their contributions invested in increments of 1% in Sempra Energy common stock or specific mutual funds offered by T. Rowe Price, Fidelity Investment Managers and Vanguard.

 

Payment of Dividends—Active employees’ cash dividends on the shares of Sempra Energy common stock in their account balances are reinvested in the Sempra Energy common stock fund. Cash dividends are paid to former employees who have elected to leave their accounts in the Plans.

 

Payment of Benefits—Participants receive their vested account balance in a single lump sum payment in cash or Sempra Energy common stock for any portion of their account held in Sempra Energy common stock at their termination of employment with the Company, retirement, or permanent disability or the named beneficiary(ies) in the event of death.

 

Plan Termination—Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions and to terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination, the assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants.

 

Related Party Transactions—Certain Plan investments, held through the Master Trust, are shares of mutual funds managed by T. Rowe Price, the Plan’s recordkeeper; therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan to the recordkeeper for administrative services were $249 and $150 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

5



 

At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan held, through the Master Trust, 6,022 and 1,160 shares of common stock of Sempra Energy, the sponsoring employer, with a cost basis of $197,933.09 and $32,654 and recorded dividend income of $13,340 and $365, respectively.

 

2.                     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Accounting— The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition— The fair value of the Plan’s interest in the Master Trust is based on the beginning of year value of the Plan’s interest in the trust plus actual contributions and allocated investment income less actual distributions and allocated administrative expense.  The Master Trust investments are stated at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Loans are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

Benefit Payments—Benefits are recorded when paid.

 

Basis of Presentation—Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

 

3.                      TAX STATUS

 

The Company is in the process of requesting from the Internal Revenue Service a determination letter stating that the Plan, as designed, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The Plan’s administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and operated in accordance with the applicable sections of the IRC, and that the underlying trust is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC.

 

4.                      PARTICIPANT LOANS

 

The Plan permits participants to borrow against the balances in their individual accounts within the Master Trust. A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the value of his/her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000, and the fee charged for processing a loan is paid by the participant who takes out the loan. Participants may have one loan outstanding. Primary residence loans have a maximum repayment period of 15 years and other loans have a maximum repayment period of five years. All loans bear interest at 1% above the prime rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, at the time the loan is made. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the interest rate on loans was 5.00% to 6.25% and the loan had maturity dates through February 2010.  The balance of participant loans of $35,396 and $7,171 is included in Investment in Master Trust on the statement of assets available for benefits as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

6



 

5.                      INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

 

The Plan’s assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee of the Plan, and consist of an interest in the Master Trust. Use of the Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of two or more similar employee benefit plans sponsored by Sempra Energy for investment and administrative purposes. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the Master Trust is based on the individual plan participants’ investment balance. Investment income is allocated on a daily basis through a valuation performed by the Trustee. Expenses relating to the Master Trust are allocated to the individual funds based upon each participant’s pro-rata share, per share calculation, or by transaction in a specific fund. At December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Plan had less than 1% interest in the net assets of the Master Trust.

 

The assets available for benefits of the Master Trust at December 31, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:
