Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
--------------------------------------------

     The following  information  updates certain matters previously  reported to
the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year  ended  December  31,  1999,  the  Quarterly  Reports  on Form 10-Q for the
quarters  ended March 31, 2000 and June 30, 2000 and the Current  Report on Form
8-K filed August 21, 2000 of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) and
its parent, Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (PSEG).

     PSE&G,  pursuant to the restructuring  order issued by the New Jersey Board
of Public Utilities (BPU), has transferred its electric generating facilities to
PSEG Power LLC (Power), an unregulated power producing affiliate.

     The generating  assets were  transferred at the price  specified in the BPU
order - $2.443  billion plus $343 million for other  generating  related  assets
such as fuel,  materials,  and  supplies.  The parties  have agreed to execute a
supplemental  agreement  reflecting  any  change in the  value of the  assets if
required  as a result of a current  appeal  to the NJ  Supreme  Court of a lower
court  decision  upholding the BPU's  restructuring  and  securitization  orders
regarding PSE&G.

     The transfer,  which was effective  August 21, 2000,  was in exchange for a
note from Power in an amount  equal to the  purchase  price.  Until such note is
paid,  the assets  transferred  remain  subject to the lien of PSE&G's First and
Refunding Mortgage.


Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits
-----------------------------------------

     The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  condensed   consolidated   financial
statements are filed with this report:

     Unaudited  Pro Forma  Condensed  Consolidated  Balance Sheet as of June 30,
     2000                                                               Page F-1

     Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income:

     Year Ended December 31, 1999                                       Page F-2

     The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of PSE&G as of
June 30, 2000  reflects the  financial  position of PSE&G after giving effect to
the transfer  discussed in Item 2 and assumes the transaction took place on June
30, 2000. The unaudited Pro Forma  Condensed  Consolidated  Statements of Income
for the year ended  December  31,  1999 and the six months  ended June 30,  2000
assume that the  transaction  occurred on January 1, 1999,  and are based on the
operations  of PSE&G for the year  ended  December  31,  1999 and the six months
ended June 30, 2000.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial  statements have
been prepared based upon assumptions  which Management  believes are reasonable.
The unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated  financial  statements presented
herein  are  shown  for  illustrative  purposes  only  and are  not  necessarily
indicative of the future  financial  position or future results of operations of
PSE&G, or of the financial position or results of operations of PSE&G that would
have actually  occurred had the transaction been in effect as of the date or for
the periods  presented.

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

(1)  To eliminate the income and expenses of the generation related business for
     the entire  period.  Various  allocation  methodologies  were  employed  to
     separate the results of  operations  of the  generation-related  portion of
     PSE&G's business from PSE&G's historical financial statements.  Revenue was
     calculated by unbundling the  generation  component of revenue from PSE&G's
     bundled rate for the generation,  transmission  and  distribution of energy
     and adding any generation-related  revenues, such as ancillary services and
     wholesale energy activity.  Expenses,  such as energy costs, operations and
     maintenance and depreciation and amortization were specifically  identified
     by function.

(2)  To reflect the interest  income for the entire  period  relating to the pro
     forma note  receivable  from PSEG Power LLC in the amount of  approximately
     $2.760  billion  with an interest  rate of 14.23%,  assuming no  prinicipal
     repayment during the period.  Beginning August 21, 2000, PSE&G will receive
     interest from PSEG Power LLC based on the actual  transfer  price of $2.786
     billion, less any future principal repayments, at a rate of 14.23%.
