EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING AMENDMENT NO. 1

This Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Amendment No. 1”) amends TNMP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on May 6, 2009 (the “Original Filing”).

The Certifications of TNMP’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, included as Exhibits 31.5 and 31.6 of the Original Filing inadvertently omitted certain language concerning internal controls over financial reporting.  TNMP is filing Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 to include the correct form of Certifications of its Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, which are included as Exhibits 31.5 and 31.6 to Amendment No. 1.   In accordance with the requirements of the SEC, this Amendment No. 1 also includes Part I – Item 1 – Financial Statements and Item 4 – Controls and Procedures.  In addition, Item 4 has been amended to clarify management’s evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

The Original Filing was a combined filing of TNMP along with its ultimate parent, PNMR, and Public Service Company of New Mexico (“PNM”), another wholly owned subsidiary of PNMR.  Amendment No. 1 is being filed only by TNMP because no information about PNMR or PNM is being amended.  Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 are presented for TNMP only and not on a combined basis with PNMR and PNM.  The Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and cross references thereto have not been renumbered from the Original Filing.  Where an entire note was eliminated because it contained no information pertinent to TNMP, the note number was retained with an indication that the note was omitted.  The elimination of information concerning PNMR and PNM that is not necessary for TNMP’s financial statements necessitated minor grammatical and contextual changes in information from that included in the Original Filing.  However, there have been no substantive changes and no numerical changes in this Amendment No. 1 from TNMP’s financial statements included in the Original Filing.  With the exception of the minor corrections described above, Amendment No. 1 sets forth the financial statements of TNMP as contained in the Original Filing in their entirety.  Amendment No. 1 has been signed as of a current date and certifications of the TNMP’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer attached as exhibits hereto are given as of a current date.  This Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update the Original Filing in any way other than to correct the items described above.

TNMP MEETS THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS (H) (1) (a) AND (b) OF FORM 10-Q AND IS THEREFORE FILING THIS FORM WITH THE REDUCED DISCLOSURE FORMAT PURSUANT TO GENERAL INSTRUCTION (H) (2).

Significant Accounting Policies and Responsibility for Financial Statements

Financial Statement Preparation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal and recurring accruals and adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, and the consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could ultimately differ from those estimated.  The results of operations presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited, and certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted, as permitted under the applicable rules and regulations.  Readers of these financial statements should refer to TNMP’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto that are included in its 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Principles of Consolidation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of TNMP (the “Company”) include its accounts and those of subsidiaries in which it owns a majority voting interest.  PNMR shared services’ administrative and general expenses, which represent costs that are primarily driven by corporate level activities, are allocated to the business segments.  Other significant intercompany transactions between PNMR, PNM, and TNMP include energy purchases and sales as well as transmission and distribution services.  All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.  See Note 12.

 Stock-Based Compensation

Information concerning stock-based compensation plans is contained in Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions for options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2009:

Dividend yield
 
    6.27%
Expected volatility
 
   42.03%
Risk-free interest rates
 
     1.56%
Expected life (years)
 
4.48

The assumptions above are based on multiple factors, including historical exercise patterns of employees in relatively homogeneous groups with respect to exercise and post-vesting employment termination behaviors, expected future exercising patterns for these same homogeneous groups and both the implied and historical volatility of PNMR’s stock price.

Capitalization

Information concerning financing activities is contained in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Short-term Debt

TNMP had a revolving credit facility for borrowings up to $200.0 million under the TNMP Facility that was scheduled to expire May 13, 2009.  The maximum borrowing amount under the TNMP Facility was reduced to $75.0 million on March 23, 2009.  On April 30, 2009, TNMP entered into the $75 million TNMP Revolving Credit Facility described under Financing Activities below and the TNMP Facility terminated.  Short-term debt outstanding consists of:

At April 30, 2009, TNMP had $73.5 million of availability under its revolving credit facility, including reductions of availability due to outstanding letters of credit.  At April 30, 2009, TNMP had no cash investments.

As of March 31, 2009, TNMP had outstanding borrowings of $38.8 million from PNMR under its intercompany loan agreement.

Financing Activities

On October 31, 2008, TNMP entered into a $100.0 million term loan credit agreement with two lenders (the “TNMP Bridge Facility”) to provide an additional source of funds to repay TNMP’s $167.7 million of senior unsecured notes that matured January 15, 2009.  On January 14, 2009, TNMP borrowed $100.0 million under the TNMP Bridge Facility.  On January 15, 2009, TNMP repaid the entire principal and interest due on the $167.7 million principal amount outstanding of 6.25% senior unsecured notes utilizing the proceeds from the TNMP Bridge Facility and inter-company borrowings from PNMR.

On March 23, 2009, TNMP issued $265.5 million aggregate principal amount of 9.50% First Mortgage Bonds, due 2019, Series 2009A at a price equal to 97.643% of their face value.  The bonds bear interest at the rate of 9.50% per annum of their face value. TNMP may redeem some or all of the bonds at any time at a redemption price that reflects a make-whole provision, plus accrued interest.  The bonds are secured by a first mortgage on substantially all of TNMP’s property.

On March 25, 2009, TNMP entered into a $50.0 million loan agreement with Union Bank, N. A. (the “2009 Term Loan Agreement”).   TNMP borrowed $50.0 million under this agreement on March 30, 2009.  Borrowings under the 2009 Term Loan Agreement must be repaid by March 25, 2014 and are secured by $50.0 million aggregate principal amount of TNMP first mortgage bonds (the “Series 2009B Bonds”).  Through hedging arrangements, TNMP has established fixed interest rates of 6.05% for the first three years and 6.30% thereafter.  The hedging obligations are also secured by the Series 2009B Bonds.  The hedge is accounted for as a cash-flow hedge and its March 31, 2009 pre-tax fair value of $(0.8) million is included in other comprehensive income.  The fair value determination was made using Level 2 inputs under SFAS 157.

TNMP used the proceeds received from the 9.50% First Mortgage Bonds and the 2009 Term Loan Agreement to repay the $100.0 million borrowed under the TNMP Bridge Facility and the $150.0 million outstanding under the TNMP Facility.  The remaining proceeds, after offering expenses, were used to reduce intercompany borrowings from PNMR.

On April 30, 2009, TNMP entered into a new $75.0 million revolving credit facility among TNMP, certain lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “TNMP Revolving Credit Facility”), and the existing TNMP Facility was terminated.  Borrowings under the TNMP Revolving Credit Facility are secured by $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of first mortgage bonds of TNMP (the “Series 2009C Bonds”).  The TNMP Revolving Credit Facility, which will expire in April 2011, allows TNMP to borrow up to $75.0 million.

 
    On February 26, 2009, the Finance Committee of the PNMR Board authorized PNMR to provide support for the debt of TNMP by approving additional loans to TNMP as a contingency in the event TNMP was unable to obtain external financing sufficient to pay amounts borrowed under the TNMP Facility and the TNMP Bridge Facility when they came due.  With the completion of the financing described above, the PNMR support terminated on April 30, 2009.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

TNMP maintains a qualified defined benefit pension plan, a postretirement benefit plan providing medical and dental benefits, and an executive retirement program (“TNMP Plans”).  PNMR maintains the legal obligation for the benefits owed to participants under these plans.

Readers should refer to Note 12 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for additional information on these plans.

TNMP made no first quarter contributions to its pension plan trust in either 2009 or 2008 and no contributions are anticipated for 2009.  Based on current law and estimates of portfolio performance, TNMP anticipates making contributions to its pension plan trust of approximately $1.8 million in 2010 and a total of $7.5 million for 2011-2013. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, TNMP contributed zero and $0.2 million and expects to make contributions totaling $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2009 to the trust for other postretirement benefits.  Disbursements under the executive retirement program, which are funded by the Company and considered to be contributions to the plan, were less than $0.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and are expected to total $0.2 million during 2009.

(9)  
Commitments and Contingencies

There are various claims and lawsuits pending against the Company.  The Company is also subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations, and is currently participating in the investigation and remediation of numerous sites.  In addition, the Company periodically enters into financial commitments in connection with its business operations.  It is not possible at this time for the Company to determine fully the effect of all litigation and other legal proceedings on its results of operations or financial position.  It is the Company’s policy to accrue for expected costs in accordance with SFAS 5, when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of expected costs of these items to be incurred is reasonably estimable.  The Company is also involved in various legal proceedings in the normal course of its business.  The legal costs for these matters are accrued when the legal expenses are incurred.  The Company does not expect that any known lawsuits, environmental costs, and commitments will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, although the outcome of litigation, investigations, and other legal proceedings is inherently uncertain.

Regulatory and Rate Matters

TNMP

TNMP Competitive Transition Charge True-Up Proceeding

The purpose of the true-up proceeding was to quantify and reconcile the amount of stranded costs that TNMP may recover from its transmission and distribution customers.  A 2004 PUCT decision established $87.3 million as TNMP’s stranded costs.  TNMP and other parties have made a series of appeals on the ruling and it is currently

before the Texas Supreme Court. TNMP is unable to predict if the Texas Supreme Court will review the decision or the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Interest Rate for Calculating Carrying Charges on TNMP’s Stranded Cost

The PUCT approved an amendment to the true-up rule in 2006, which results in a lower interest rate that TNMP is allowed to collect on the unsecuritized true-up balance through a CTC. The PUCT concluded that the correct rate at which a utility should accrue carrying costs through a CTC is the weighted average of an adjusted form of its marginal cost of debt and its unadjusted historical cost of debt, with the weighting based on the utility’s most recently authorized capital structure.  The revised rate affects TNMP by lowering the previously approved carrying cost rate of 10.93%.  After regulatory proceedings, the PUCT issued an order approving the 8.31% rate proposed by TNMP and the PUCT staff. Various municipal intervenors (“Cities”) appealed the PUCT’s order to the District Court in Austin, Texas, with TNMP as an intervenor.  The District Court affirmed the PUCT’s decision and the Cities filed an appeal in the Texas 3rd Court of Appeals.  Oral argument was held on February 26, 2009.  TNMP is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Interest Rate Compliance Tariff

Following the revision of the interest rate on TNMP’s carrying charge, TNMP filed a compliance tariff to implement the new 8.31% rate. TNMP’s filing proposed to put the new rates into effect on February 1, 2008.  Intervenors asserted objections to the compliance filing.  PUCT staff urged that the PUCT make the new rate effective as of December 27, 2007 when the PUCT’s order establishing the correct rate became final.  After regulatory proceedings, the PUCT issued an order making the new rate retroactive to July 20, 2006.  TNMP filed an appeal of this order in the District Court in Austin, Texas.  While there is inherent uncertainty in this type of proceeding, TNMP believes it will ultimately be successful in overturning any ruling that the effective date should be prior to December 27, 2007.

60-Day Rate Review

In 2005, TNMP made a required 60-day rate review filing.  TNMP’s case establishes a CTC for recovery of the true-up balance.  In 2006, the PUCT issued a signed order which would allow TNMP to begin collecting its true-up balance, which includes carrying charges, over a 14-year period.  The order also allows TNMP to collect expenses associated with several cases over a three-year period.  TNMP began collecting its CTC and its rate case expenses on December 1, 2006.  In January 2007, this proceeding was appealed by various Texas cities to the District Court, in Austin, Texas.  TNMP and First Choice have intervened. TNMP is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.

2008 Rate Case

On August 29, 2008, TNMP filed with the PUCT for an $8.7 million increase in revenues.  If approved, new rates would go into effect in September 2009.  In its request, TNMP also asked for permission to implement a catastrophe reserve fund similar to those approved for other transmission and distribution companies in Texas. Catastrophe funds help pay for a utility system’s recovery from natural disasters and acts of terrorism.  Once the rate case is finalized by the PUCT, TNMP may update its transmission rates annually to reflect changes in its invested capital.  Updated rates would reflect the addition and retirement of transmission facilities, including appropriate depreciation, federal income tax and other associated taxes, and the approved rate of return on such facilities. On October 10, 2008, the PUCT issued a preliminary order permitting TNMP to file supplemental testimony on costs caused by Hurricane Ike. These costs may be included in rates or captured as a regulatory asset for review and approval in a subsequent proceeding.

In December 2008, the parties in the TNMP rate case requested that the case be abated and the ALJ granted the request.  The abatement suspended procedural deadlines until after the submittal of supplemental testimony by TNMP relating to costs incurred during Hurricane Ike and anticipated financing costs.  On March 31, 2009, TNMP

filed it supplemental testimony, requesting an additional revenue increase of $15.7 million annually. This amount includes a five year amortization of Hurricane Ike restoration cost, recovery of increased interest expense associated with the recent refinancing of TNMP’s debt, and additional carrying charges on the CTC balance.  Following a pre-hearing conference on April 30, 2009, the ALJ approved a procedural schedule that sets hearing on the merits for June 16-26, 2009 and contemplates a final order from the PUCT no later than October 9, 2009.  Discovery on TNMP’s supplemental filing and the intervenors’ positions is ongoing. TNMP is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Senate Bill 769

            On April 16, 2009, the Governor of Texas signed into law Senate Bill 769 (“SB 769”) concerning the recovery of hurricane costs by utilities.  SB 769 authorizes the PUCT, after a full review, to permit an electric utility to obtain timely recovery of system restoration costs, and permits utilities to use securitization financing for the recovery of such costs. The proposed costs can be approved in any current or future proceeding.
