Exhibit 99


GAAP Disclaimer
PSEG presents Operating Earnings in addition to its Net Income reported in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP).  Operating Earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that differs from
Net Income because it excludes gains or losses associated with Nuclear
Decommissioning Trust (NDT), Mark-to-Market (MTM) accounting, and other
material one-time items.  PSEG presents Operating Earnings because
management believes that it is appropriate for investors to consider results
excluding these items in addition to the results reported in accordance with
GAAP.  PSEG believes that the non-GAAP financial measure of Operating
Earnings provides a consistent and comparable measure of performance of its
businesses to help shareholders understand performance trends.  This
information is not
intended to be viewed as an alternative to GAAP information.
The last slide in this presentation includes a list of items excluded from Income
from Continuing Operations to reconcile to Operating Earnings, with a reference
to that slide included on each of the slides where the non-GAAP information
appears.
