Note to Financial Statements
- -----------------------------


Basis of Presentation

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes the financial statements 
of SDG&E Funding LLC, a Delaware special-purpose limited-liability 
company whose sole member is San Diego Gas & Electric Company 
(SDG&E), a provider of electric and natural-gas services.  SDG&E is a 
wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy. This quarterly report 
should be read in conjunction with SDG&E Funding LLC's Financial 
Statements and Notes to Financial Statements included in its 1998 
Annual Report on Form 10-K.  

SDG&E Funding LLC believes that the accompanying statements reflect 
all adjustments that are necessary to present a fair statement of the 
financial position and results of operations for the interim period.  
All material adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  Results 
of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of 
results to be expected for a full year.  

SDG&E Funding LLC was organized for the limited purposes of issuing 
Notes and holding and servicing Transition Property. Notes are SDG&E 
Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class A-1 through Class A-7 (presented 
in the financial statements as "Long-Term Debt"), secured by the 
Transition Property and other, limited collateral. Transition Property 
is the right to be paid a specified amount (presented in the financial 
statements as "Transition Property") from a nonbypassable charge ("FTA 
Charges") levied on residential electric customers and small commercial 
electric customers. The nonbypassable charge was authorized by the 
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) pursuant to the electric 
industry restructuring mandated by California Assembly Bill 1890, as 
amended by California Senate Bill 477.

Since SDG&E Funding LLC is a single-member, limited-liability 
company, all of its federal income tax effects and its material State 
of California franchise tax effects accrue to SDG&E.


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations.

The following analysis of the financial condition and results of 
operations of SDG&E Funding LLC (the Note Issuer) is in an abbreviated 
format pursuant to Instruction H of Form 10-Q. Such analysis should be 
read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and Note to Financial 
Statements included in Item 1 above, and the Financial Statements and 
Notes to Financial Statements included in the Note Issuer's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The Note Issuer is limited by its organizational documents to engaging 
in the activities of owning certain property created pursuant to the 
California Public Utilities Code (the "Transition Property") and issuing 
notes secured by the Transition Property and other limited collateral, 
and related activities. Accordingly, operating statement effects are 
limited primarily to income generated from the Transition Property, 
interest expense on the SDG&E Funding LLC Notes, Series 1997-1, Class 
A-1 through Class A-7 (the "Notes"), and incidental investment interest 
income. The Note Issuer pays servicing fees to SDG&E. These servicing 
fees are offset by the investment earnings on the monthly remittances 
from SDG&E. The investment earnings are not expected to fully offset 
servicing expenses payable to SDG&E.

Collections of FTA Charges are currently meeting expectations and were 
sufficient to pay all scheduled payments on the Notes and related 
expenses for the Note payment due March 25, 1999. For the first quarter 
of 1999, collections of $31,844,000 resulted in a surplus of $2,523,000 
after deducting scheduled principal and interest payments of 
$28,842,000, payments of $396,000 for servicing fees and other expenses, 
and $83,000 retained to fund the Overcollateralization Account 
established under the Notes' indenture. This surplus will be applied 
toward future payments on the Notes. The FTA Charges will be adjusted at 
least annually if there is a material shortfall or overage in 
collections. Management expects future collections of FTA Charges to be 
sufficient to cover expenses and to make scheduled payments on the Notes 
on a timely basis.

The Note Issuer has no computer systems of its own and relies on certain 
systems of SDG&E for information. While there is the potential for 
SDG&E's systems to be unable to recognize the year 2000, SDG&E is in the 
process of an extensive evaluation of its computer systems and an 
enterprise-wide date-conversion project. For additional information on 
SDG&E's Year 2000 project, see SDG&E's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999.
