PNM Resources, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("PNMR" or the "Company") is furnishing in this Current Report on Form 8-K select Comparative Operating Statistics for the months of June 2005 and 2004 and the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 to provide investors with key monthly business indicators. Readers of this Current Report on Form 8-K should refer to the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company's annual and quarterly periodic reporting on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q, respectively, for a discussion of actual results of operations and any significant trends. In order to provide an understanding of the operating statistics presented below, this Current Report on Form 8-K includes discussions about plant operations, some of which have been previously reported in the Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2005 and the Company's Forms 8-K filed on June 6, 2005 and June 24, 2005.
On June 6, 2005, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of TNP Enterprises, Inc. and subsidiaries ("TNP"). Prior to the consummation of the acquisition, TNP was a privately-owned holding company based in Forth Worth, Texas. TNP's principal subsidiaries are Texas-New Mexico Power Company ("TNMP"), a regulated utility operating in Texas and New Mexico, and First Choice Power ("First Choice"), a certified retail electric provider operating in Texas. Operating statistics of TNP, including its subsidiaries TNMP and First Choice, are included in the information presented below.
As previously reported, during the second quarter of 2005, the Company experienced a significant decline in solid fuel generating capacity as a result of several plant outages that were not anticipated in the Company's current earnings forecast. The Company expects the decline in low-cost generation availability to have a significant impact upon second quarter 2005 results. The Company is currently in the process of updating earnings guidance for the full year to reflect the decline in solid fuel generating capacity in the second quarter of 2005 and the close of the TNP transaction. The Company anticipates announcing updated earnings guidance on July 26, 2005, the scheduled date of the second quarter earnings release.

(1) Due to the fact that the maintenance for SJGS Unit 4 was accelerated from the fourth quarter to the first quarter there will be no impact on the 2005 earnings forecast. The only impact will be on quarterly earnings because of the timing difference. As a result, it is not included in this summary.
(2) All plant outages in this table were previously discussed in the June 24, 2005 Form 8-K.
(3) This outage was reported in April Comparative Operating Statistics report for the months of April 2005 and 2004, filed on Form 8-K with the SEC on June 6, 2005.
(4) This was at partial capacity, with full capacity at June 27, previously expected for June 25.
In addition, PVNGS Unit 3 experienced an unplanned outage between July 5 and July 13 due to a replacement of an oil seal on a reactor coolant pump, which will have an impact on the Company's 2005 earnings forecast.
