Item 5. Other Events.
As more fully described in Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K
dated July 15, 1998 and incorporated herein by reference, in June
1998 a coalition of consumer groups received verification that its
electric-restructuring ballot initiative received the needed
signatures to qualify for the November 1998 California ballot.
On July 16, 1998 the California Supreme Court denied the July 6,
1998 petition seeking to overturn the Third District Court of
Appeal's denial of the petition to remove the voter initiative from
the ballot. The California Supreme Court refused to grant review of
the petition at the present time. Such ruling did not represent a
ruling on the merits of the arguments presented; rather, the ruling
was a decision by the court not to consider the merits of the
petition prior to the November balloting.
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
