     Notes to and forming part of the accounts for the year ended 30 June 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1    OWNERSHIP OF PIPELINES

     Under the terms of the Petroleum Act 1923, the Minister for Minerals and
     Energy, acting in the capacity of a corporation sole under the name and
     style of "The Secretary for Mines", has constructed and now owns, operates
     and maintains a pipeline for the conveyance of natural gas from the Surat
     Basin and Denison Trough to Gladstone and Rockhampton.  The State Gas
     Pipeline Unit, a business unit of the Department of Minerals and Energy, is
     responsible for the operation of the pipeline on the Minister's behalf.
     
2   STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     
     The accounts of the State Gas Pipeline Unit have been prepared in
     accordance with the provisions of the Financial Administration and Audit
     Act 1977 (the Act) and the Public Finance Standards issued pursuant to the
     Act, Statements of Accounting Concepts and applicable Accounting Standards.
     
     The accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except for
     linepack gas and Pipeline which are shown at valuation.
     
     The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted
     and consistently applied by the Unit in the preparation of accounts.
     
     Income Tax
     ------------
     The Unit is a business unit of the Department of Minerals and Energy, a
     Queensland State Government department, and as such is not liable for
     income tax.  Accordingly, no provision has been made.
     
     Property, Plant and Equipment
     -------------------------------
     Property, plant and equipment has been included at cost or at other
revalued amounts substituted for historical cost where indicated.

     Depreciation
     --------------
     All non-current assets, excluding freehold land but including buildings,
     have been depreciated over their useful lives commencing from the time the
     asset was held ready for use.  The useful lives of the Wallumbilla to
     Gladstone section of the pipeline and the Gladstone to Rockhampton section
     of the pipeline have been determined to be 30 and 29 years respectively and
     to have a nil value at the end of that time.  The pipeline has been
     depreciated using the diminishing value method with a variable depreciation
     factor to reflect the remaining years of useful life.  All other non-
     current assets have been depreciated using the traditional diminishing
     value method.
     
     Leased Assets
     ---------------
     Operating lease payments have been charged as expenses in the periods in
     which they were incurred.  There are no finance leases.
     
     Employee Entitlements
     -----------------------
     Provision has been made in respect of the Unit's liability for wages,
     annual leave and long service leave at balance date.  Long service leave is
     accrued in respect of all employees with more than 5 years' service.

                             STATE GAS PIPELINE UNIT

     Notes to and forming part of the accounts for the year ended 30 June 1995
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
     Contributions are made by the Unit to an employee superannuation fund and
     are charged as expenses when incurred.  There is no other legal obligation
     to provide superannuation benefits to employees on retirement.
     
     In accordance with AAS30, adjustments to implement this standard have been
     made to opening accumulated losses.
     
     Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment
     -------------------------------------------
     It is the policy of the State Gas Pipeline Unit to revalue property, plant
     and equipment of the State Gas Pipeline except for Linepack Gas, Land,
     Motor Vehicles and Office Furniture and Equipment by the application of an
     appropriate index published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.  This
     is provided that the carrying amount of the revalued assets is confirmed by
     the application of the discounted cashflow approach and recoverable amount
     test prescribed in Australian Accounting Standard AAS10 or at five year
     intervals by an independent, full and detailed valuation.  Due to the
     pending sale of the pipeline (refer to Note 16 - Post Balance Date Events),
     the reasonable estimation of future cash flows is not possible.  Therefore
     no revaluations of assets have been carried out except for linepack gas.
     
     Linepack Gas is valued at current replacement cost.  Land, Motor Vehicles
     and Office Furniture and Equipment are valued at historical cost.
     
     The increase in the current replacement cost of linepack gas was $29,034
     and this amount was credited to the Asset Revaluation Reserve.
     
     Audit
     -------
     The State Gas Pipeline Unit is audited by the Auditor-General as a business
     unit of the Department of Minerals and Energy under the provisions of the
     Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977.
     
     Segment Reporting
     ------------------
     The State Gas Pipeline Unit operates in the State of Queensland and is
     engaged in the transportation of natural gas from the Surat Basin and the
     Denison Trough to customers in the vicinity of Gladstone and Rockhampton.

16 POST BALANCE DATE EVENTS

     The Government has agreed in principle that the State Gas Pipeline will be
sold through a public bid process.  The sale is expected to be finalized during
the 1995/96 financial year.

Following the sale, and in the event of the termination of their employment,
employees of the State Gas Pipeline Unit are expected to be paid a severance
allowance based on the number of years they have been employed.


17 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     Repairs and modifications to a total cost of $264,000 were carried out on
pipeline valves during the year.  All valves of a similar design may need to be
modified at a further estimated cost of $2,697,000.  Claims of $2,961,000 have
been made against relevant suppliers.

Calliope Shire Council has advised of the possibility of constructing a dam
which could flood a section of the pipeline.  If the dam proceeds, the pipeline
would need to be either realigned or weighted down.  The pipeline owner may be
liable for all costs.

NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
reflects the financial position of Pacific Gas Transmission Company (the
"Company") after giving effect to the acquisition of Queensland State Gas
Pipeline (the "Pipeline") on July 1, 1996 and the related financings as if it
were consummated at March 31, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma condensed
consolidated income statements reflect the acquisition of Pipeline as if it had
occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has
been prepared by the Company based upon assumptions deemed proper by the Company
and a preliminary allocation of the purchase price paid.  For purposes of these
pro forma condensed financial statements, the allocation of the purchase price
has been made based upon valuations and other studies which have not been
finalized, including tangible and intangible asset appraisals and regulatory
environment analysis.  Accordingly, the allocation of the purchase price is
preliminary.  The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial
information presented herein is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not
necessarily indicative of the future financial position or future results of
operations of the Company, or of the financial position or results of operations
of the Company that would have actually occurred had the transaction been in
effect as of the date or for the periods presented.  In addition, it should be
noted that the Company's financial statements will reflect the acquisition only
from July 1, 1996, the closing date for the acquisition.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related
notes of the Company.

NOTE 2.  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     Balance Sheet

          (a)  Other property and investments were increased to reflect account
          balances at fair market value.

          (b)  Additional long-term debt issued to fund the acquisition of
          Pipeline was included and the retirement of Pipeline's short-term and
          long-term debt was reflected.  In order to fund its equity 
          contribution, Pacific Gas Transmission Company (PGT) reduced its
          repayment of commercial paper by $30 million.

          (c)  The registrant's parent, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, made

     Income Statement

          was removed and interest expense related to the acquisition debt was
          included.

          (e)  Additional depreciation related to an increase in property, plant
          and equipment to reflect balances at fair value was included.  Amounts
          were adjusted to eliminate accelerated rates used by SGP in its
          historical financial presentation.

          (f)  Income tax expense for Pipeline was recorded based upon an
          estimated effective tax rate of 40%, adjusting all pro forma entries
