INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Retirement Savings Plans of Pacific Enterprises and
  Southern California Gas Company:

We have audited, by Plan and in total, the accompanying combined statements of
net assets available for plan benefits of the Retirement Savings Plans of
Pacific Enterprises and Southern California Gas Company (the "Plans") as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related combined statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These combined
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plans' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statements
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, by Plan and in total, in all material respects, the combined net assets
available for plan benefits of the Plans as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the combined changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLANS OF PACIFIC ENTERPRISES AND
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAS COMPANY

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  PLANS DESCRIPTION AND RELATED INFORMATION

    The following description of the Retirement Savings Plans of Pacific
    Enterprises and Southern California Gas Company (the "Plans") is provided
    for general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the
    Plans' documents for a more complete description of the Plans' provisions.

    GENERAL - The Plans are defined contribution plans that provide employees
    of Pacific Enterprises and Southern California Gas Company or any affiliate
    who has adopted these Plans (the "Companies" or "Employers") with
    retirement benefits to supplement benefits provided under the Companies'
    defined benefit pension plans.  Employees may participate after one year of
    continuous service and may make regular savings investments in Pacific
    Enterprises, parent company of Southern California Gas Company, common
    stock and other optional investments permitted by the Plans.  The Plans
    were adopted on October 1, 1964 to allow eligible employees to supplement
    their retirement needs.  The Plans also permit employees to defer part of
    their earnings on a pre-tax basis.

    ADMINISTRATION - Certain administrative functions are performed by officers
    or employees of the Companies.  No such officer or employee receives
    compensation from the Plans.  Administrative expenses were paid directly by
    the Companies during 1995 and the three months ended March 31, 1996. 
    Effective April 1, 1996 administrative expenses are passed through to
    employees by the Plans.

    CONTRIBUTIONS - Contributions to the Plans can be made under the following
    provisions:

        SALARY DEFERRAL (PRE-TAX AND AFTER-TAX) CONTRIBUTIONS - Pursuant to
        Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), each
        participant may contribute, on a pre-tax basis, up to 9% of base pay. 
        Additional after-tax contributions may be made up to a total
        contribution (before and after-tax) of 14% of each participant's base
        pay.  Total individual pre-tax contributions in calendar years 1996 and
        1995 were limited by law to $9,500 and $9,240, respectively.

        EMPLOYER NONELECTIVE MATCHING CONTRIBUTION - The Companies make
        contributions to the Plans equal to one-half of each participant's
        contribution, up to the first 6%.  The Companies' contributions are
        invested in Pacific Enterprises common stock.  Beginning October 1,
        1992, employer contributions have been funded in part from the Pacific
        Enterprises Stock Ownership Plan and Trust ("ESOP").  At December 31,
        1996 and 1995, the value of shares due to the Plans from the ESOP for
        employer contributions totaled approximately $0 and $663,000,
        respectively.

    PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Separate accounts are maintained for each
    participant.  Each participant employee is credited with the participant's
    contributions and an allocation of the Employers' nonelective matching
    contribution, as well as an allocation of investment earnings of the Plans
    and fees.  Allocations are based on participants' contributions or account
    balances, as defined.

    VESTING - All participant accounts are fully vested and nonforfeitable at
    all times.

    INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Beginning April 1, 1996 all investments are held in a
    Master Trust (see Note 7).  Employees elect to have their contributions
    invested in increments of 10% in the following funds within the Master
    Trust:  the Pacific Enterprises Common Stock Fund and the following funds
    offered by T. Rowe Price, trustee of the Plans: the Blended Stable Value
    Fund, Personal Strategy Funds (Income, Balanced, and Growth), International
    Stock Fund, New Horizons Fund, New Income Fund, Prime Reserve Fund, and
    Equity Index Fund.  Prior to April 1, 1996, employees elected to have their
    contributions invested in increments of 10% in the following funds: 
    Pacific Enterprises Common Stock, Guaranteed Interest Contracts, Money
    Market (Fidelity Daily Income Trust), Balanced (Phoenix Balanced Fund) and
    Diversified (Mellon Stock Index).  Prior to January 1, 1981, participants
    could contribute to a Government Obligations Fund.

    BENEFIT PAYMENTS - Payments are recorded when paid.

    PLAN TERMINATION - Although they have not expressed any intent to do so,
    the Companies have the right under the Plans to discontinue their
    contributions at any time and to terminate the Plans subject to the
    provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
    ("ERISA").

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The Plans maintain their combined financial
    statements on the accrual basis of accounting.  

    USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of combined financial statements in
    conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
    management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
    amounts of net assets and disclosures at the date of the combined financial
    statements and the reported changes in net assets during the reporting
    period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

    INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION - The Plans' investments are
    stated at fair value based on quoted market prices, except for the
    guaranteed interest contracts, which are valued at contract value.  Pacific
    Enterprises common stock is valued at its quoted market price of $30.375
    and $28.25 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Effective April 1,
    1996, the Plans are valued daily.

    Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. 
    Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded
    on the ex-dividend date.

    BENEFITS PAYABLE - Net assets available for plan benefits at December 31,
    1996 and 1995 include $194,410 and $12,456,000, respectively, for
    participants who have withdrawn from the Plans but have not yet been paid
    their vested benefits.

3.  INVESTMENTS

    The Plans' investments were held by Bankers Trust Company of California,
    N.A. at December 31, 1995 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
    by T. Rowe Price for the nine months ended December 31, 1996.

4.  TAX STATUS

    On January 16, 1996 and November 19, 1996, the Internal Revenue Service
    issued the Pacific Enterprises Plan and Southern California Gas Company
    Plan, respectively, favorable determination letters stating that each of
    the Plans is designed in accordance with the applicable sections of the
    Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), and the underlying trust is therefore exempt
    from taxation under Section 501(a) of the IRC. Once qualified, each Plan is
    required to operate in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC and
    ERISA.  The Plans' administrator and the Plans' tax counsel believe that
    each Plan is designed and currently being operated in compliance with the
    applicable requirements of the IRC.

5.  SHAREHOLDERS' LAWSUIT

    Relative to a settlement of a shareholders' lawsuit in which the Plans were
    claimants, the Plans received settlement funds in 1996 and 1995.

6.  PARTICIPANT LOANS

    Effective April 1, 1996, the Plans were amended to allow participants to
    borrow against the balance in their individual accounts within the Plans. 
    A participant is limited to borrowing a maximum of 50% of the present value
    of his or her account balance or $50,000, whichever is less.  The minimum
    amount which can be borrowed is $1,000, and the fee charged for processing
    each loan is paid by each participant who takes out a loan.  All loans have
    a maximum repayment period of five years.  The interest rate charged is
    based on 1% above the prime rate as published monthly in the Wall Street
    Journal, and the rate is fixed for the life of the loan.

7.  INVESTMENTS IN THE MASTER TRUST

    The Plans' assets are held in a trust account at T. Rowe Price, the trustee
    of the Plans since April 1, 1996, and consist of an interest in the Pacific
    Enterprises Retirement Savings Plan and the Southern California Gas Company
    Retirement Savings Plan Master Trust (the "Master Trust").  Use of the
    Master Trust permits the commingling of the trust assets of the Companies'
    benefit plans for 


                                         -6-
<PAGE>

    investment and administrative purposes.  The Pacific Enterprises Plan and
    Southern California Gas Company Plan have an approximate 9% and 91%
    interest, respectively, in the net assets available for plan benefits of
    the Master Trust at December 31, 1996.

    Net earnings of the Master Trust are allocated daily by T. Rowe Price to
    each participating account balance.  Net earnings include interest income,
    dividend income and net appreciation (depreciation) of investments. 
    Benefit payments, contributions, and expenses are made on a specific
    identification basis.

    The net assets available for plan benefits of the Master Trust at December
    31, 1996 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):
